Welcome back to another Getting Baked With Rush. Today I'm joined by Mr Machine Richard
Seller. How are you? I'm very excited. Honestly, I've been waiting for my moment, my moment
in the Rush's Kitchen. Your time? Chad's Kitchen. Yeah, well, no, this is my kitchen.
Rush's Kitchen. This is my kitchen, all right? This is all my shit, all right? So let's
get that right. Anyway, today we'll be making a lemon cake. You know I've never made
I don't think I I mean I've made many in my time you know as an expert this is
actually my recipe I assure you that yeah it's a lemon cake. Are you always this
organized like I've seen how everything is beautifully laid out are you measured
everything of course I just eyeballed it you know but let's have a look at what
we've got so this do you want to have a guess what this nice substance is yeah
well that looks more sugary than that so that is probably flour this is flour
I did add a little bit of salted flour, delicious, the flavor on salted flour.
And how did you ratio that, was that just a little sprinkle?
I actually just banged a little bit of my hand over there, probably a teaspoon.
But also would you have some here, some lemon zest, a zested lemon.
And the product of the lemon zest?
You may see a plaster on my hand, let's just say this is no longer a vegetarian dish.
There may be a little bit of my meat in there.
Oh my God!
I always wanted to pay you on your brunch.
Again, the Cove, all right.
OK.
But you have some nice, beautiful baking powder here.
OK.
I don't know how they make this or where they get it from.
From the bakers.
From the bakers and the powders.
Yeah.
We have two little bits of lemon juice here.
The reason for two, Alex, is because we're
going to put some in the cake.
And some is going to be used in the icing.
OK.
And that's what that is.
Yes, now this big cup right here,
we did run out of bowls.
So I don't have a cup of icing sugar, you know?
So I mean, you're living what you got.
It's some beautiful butter here.
Grass fed, I'm sure.
Yes.
I don't know what the package said, but.
Yeah, and of course the chickens.
Happy chickens.
From the cows as well.
I mean the eggs from the chicken.
Happy chicken.
What came first?
Who knows, bro?
Who knows, no.
You want to have that conversation?
For the podcast later anyway.
So this is some beautiful sour cream.
I just, I didn't buy this.
I just left it out on the balcony for a while
and we've got some beautiful sour cream on there as well.
But this is a mise en place.
That's what a mise en place.
That's what a professional chef does
before they do anything else.
With most recipes, you want to blend the butter with the sugar.
Okay.
Alright, so I'm just going to grab a spoon.
So the butter, we're going to just going to slot this in here.
Look at the whole thing.
Beautiful.
The noise that comes after that is beautiful.
You know how to do this.
You've seen this before.
Oh, I know.
I'll get some height on there.
Whoa!
Okay, yeah.
It's like tossing water out of a flooded boat.
How's that?
Yeah, that's good.
There's a lot of black bits in my sugar there.
That's from a previous recipe, don't worry about that.
Oh, we don't worry about that.
No, we don't worry about that.
That was fine.
That was fine.
So then I go and there's the egg.
That's a bit extra flavor.
A bit of extra flavor.
That's nice.
So now we have this in here.
We need to get to the blending.
Mr. Blender, my favorite, all right, go, go, go.
Let's just say that Mr. Blender, he does a very good job, but we're going
to continue anyway.
We're going to add an egg, whisk a bit, add an egg, whisk a bit, all right?
Do you know how to do the one-handed little crack open?
Do you think it can do that for us?
Yeah, you can.
No problem.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, watch this.
Perfect.
That's right.
Any no-shell?
No shell.
No shell.
Well done.
Thank you.
That's the tip of the wood.
I'll just bag in the sink, bro.
Beautiful.
Now we're going to mix this up again
and we'll add another couple of eggs.
So let's get whisking.
Energy, powerful!
Now we can offset that to the side here.
Okay.
And now we are going to mix together the sour cream, lemon juice, a lemon zest, and some vanilla, okay?
So let's mix these in. You grab that one, I'll grab this one.
Okay, what, same time?
I don't know if that's two tablespoons, probably. We're going to bang these in on this.
Okay, same time.
So I'm going to get three, two, one, pow!
Okay, wow, look at that.
Now we're going to drizzle some of this in here.
I'll tilt it for everyone so they can see how beautiful it is.
Am I going to measure this?
You bet.
You bet not.
That felt good.
It's a big cake.
It's a big cake.
It's a big cake.
All right, now we're just going to mix this together until smooth.
Until smooth.
You want to get in there and just get that all mixed up.
That's just where all of our lemon flavor is going to come in.
I think that's like if we were to do a bunch of exercise, die and then eat the meat
and be sad.
Anyway, that's for the next episode.
Get a lemon zest there.
I'm just going to get that in.
So now we're going to mix this baking powder, not baking soda this time.
What's the difference?
Sorry, sorry.
I said I didn't ask.
So we're going to just drizzle that in there.
Always when you have dry ingredients,
you think you don't need to mix it, you still need to mix it up.
Some, you know, YouTube out there would say,
this is the whiskey business going on right now.
Now we're going to do some magic.
This is not all the ingredients come together.
Okay.
So if you would like to take this.
It would be my pleasure.
Give that a drizzle in there.
A drizzle.
Yeah. Oh, let's start this thing.
The better. This is getting papered.
Oh, look at that going everywhere over the kitchen.
That's lovely. That sounded good, huh?
That's good. That's perfect, actually.
All right, so we're going to pop this flour in here nice and slow.
All right. Just mix that.
And then I start folding the flour in.
Yeah, just fold, fold it in.
Like a piece of paper.
Like a piece of paper.
with a stick. Yeah well, a wet piece of paper. Just a fold here let me show you one.
Why don't you give me one fold and I'll demonstrate. This here is a correct fold. You go under and
then you just like fold over and then you go under and then you just fold over and you
just keep doing that until it's all incorporated. It sounds to me like you guys are just using
a different word. Starry? No, no, no, no. There's a folding technique going on. Yeah,
I'm trying to pull it, it's not to me.
I'm going to pull it.
Very aggressively pull, that's fine, you know.
I'm going to pull it.
Sometimes tree cakes are also good.
I'm trying.
Yeah, now this is looking good.
Almost.
We could have made this maybe sift a bit.
I think you pull it around like that and then you're...
Give me that, bro.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Now we're going to put this in this beautiful bagel tray, shall we?
Yeah, this is all ready for you.
I'm just going to hold it steady.
Yeah, so let's get this high up as we can look at that
Yes, bro. Yes, let's keep it
I'm getting scared about my aim here. I'm gonna need to scoop I need to skip. Okay. It's good. Okay. I'm gonna scoop some more this walk
I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I like this I can play this game. Scoop the rest of this beautiful mixture
Oh, don't look in there as it goes. There's no point in coming up. Oh dear, I've got some on the part
Oh, you did. I wasn't watching it close my eyes
This is going to be pure flavor coming up here when it's roast in the oven
It's going to bake up and it's going to be beautiful
Smoothing that out just so it's all the way across
This looks beautiful honestly
Wow now that we've mixed all that beautiful batter up and we put it aside
Let's make the icing. Let's do it
Fantastic all right three ingredients very simple. I could guess how this goes. I don't even need your help
Come on. I mean I would guess you could do this. Come on.
Oh, okay.
I would guess you put this.
I would guess.
You're correct the first time I'm trying, bro.
So you want a bit?
Now, this is icing sugar, so careful.
Oh, I think it's spesedust.
Oh.
It's like a spesedust, but you can breathe this.
Are you sure?
Yeah, it makes the air sweet, bro.
You can eat it.
It's like we're making sweet breath.
Or breaking bad, okay.
Look at how little milk.
That is a really small amount of milk.
What do you think that's going to add to the entire product?
A bit of moisture, a bit of moisture, bang it in, bang it in.
You'd be surprised how little liquid you need for this all together.
So I'm not going to add all of this.
I'm going to take a little bit of it.
Well, that's like a chemical reaction right now.
Oh, it is actually, it's going to take a volcano.
Yeah.
Now, if you would like, just do a mix together.
Pleasure.
It's looking like icing, though.
Yeah, we're going to put this over there
and hopefully it dries up, I'm not overnight
because we're waiting for this in the studio right now.
We need to be real quick with this actually
because they're waiting.
But that is looking, what?
Let me feel what this looks like.
Oh, that is thick, isn't it?
It is a thick boy.
You know what?
That's bloody perfect.
Yeah, legit.
All right, Alex, now we've got the icing sugar
and the mixture and the icing all ready.
Yeah, that's all done.
So now we're going to bag this in the oven.
What did you just say?
What is wrong with you?
What did you just call me? Say my name!
Henry Greer? Henry Greer, you fucking freak!
What's going on? I'm coming over!
Wait, wait, no Freya! I'm not there!
You broke your promise! Jesus Henry!
You fucking talked to her about me.
Henry, what the fuck is going on?
I asked you for one thing. One simple thing.
Why do people think that I'm you?
Sit.
Now answer me why do people think that I'm you I think you know no I don't yes you do
Why would anyone possibly confuse you with me?
You got it
Say it because say it because we're the same horse
That's right.
I don't understand this.
You were looking for a way to change your life.
You could not do this on your own.
All the ways you wished you could be.
That's me.
I sound like you want to sound.
I cast like you want to cast.
I am smart. I am capable.
The most important thing.
I am free.
And all the ways you want is.
This is impossible.
This is crazy.
They talk to themselves. They see themselves as they'd like to be seen.
They don't have the courage you have, just run away.
Naturally, you're still wrestling with this.
Sometimes, you're still you.
Other times, you imagine yourself watching me.
If this is your first season of ESL Pro League, you have to cast.
Little by little though, you're letting yourself become a legend.
Ah, good morning my liege. We're about to go hunting for a luncheon. May I interest
We are not about to do anything.
Don't listen to him. I know the most authentic
fish and chip calzone in town.
You are going to love it.
Well, I'd love to.
I've got to meet him with the guy from the water company.
The water company? What is that?
It's the people who deliver the water to all the homes and businesses in the country.
Apparently, they've detected race amounts of lead in the water.
the water. So they've got to send a guy who's going to make a whole song and dance about
it. So let me get this straight. You can no longer have lunch with your best friend because
some water guy is denying his access. I don't want to go to lunch with Trace.
I know it's ridiculous, isn't it? I mean, I'm not some nine to five Andy like you
or Trace. I'm the regional manager. I don't have time to talk to some deadbeat
Salt of the dirt, water guy.
Oh, he's so important, the water guy.
Coming all the way down here to lecture me
about our glorious office water.
Now I can't spend precious team-building time
with my employees.
Oh, this guy's got some nerve.
I've got a good mind to stick a lead pipe, right?
of his uh
Hello there! I'm Alex, sorry
One of my friends who was just telling us
He was just telling us about a friend of his
whose name was Walter Guy
and he's a real annoying guy
One of these guys were just singing it
Yes! I'm the manager of this here establishment
They weren't the ones just talking then?
then? What do you mean? Dude stop doing the voice. What voice? Why are you trying to
flex this in gas like me? What do you mean to flex this in gas like you? My
friends was was talking. Can you just talk? No. This is my normal voice. Okay
okay I'm just gonna mark this problem as fixed and go. Goodbye what a guy.
Pleasure meeting you!
Wow.
I know.
Wow.
I know.
Wow indeed.
But you do know what this means right?
That there's light in the water?
No.
It means that lunch is back on the menu!
Yes!
Woo!
My love is spinning round, Feels like I'm in the clouds, yeah, You're addressing a crowd,
You're a crowd, the sunlight on your brow
Disco dancing, disco dancing
The rough they wind around The top is always down, yeah
A king without a crown
I'll show them what I'm bought, yeah
Sons of Gaben
I am Chad Bertrell
Chad Bertul is 30k elo. Yes, I've heard.
Frags well are hundreds, and if he were here, he'd consume these cunts with mollies from spawn and spraydowns from his arse.
I am Chad Bertul, and I see a whole squad of my countrymen here.
In defiance, you've come to Frag as legit men, free men, and free men you are.
Will you let these cheaters take that from you, or will you frag?
against that? How? No, we will surrender and go next.
Aye, Stan you may tilt, give up and re-cue in a while.
Dying to the next cheaters a few games from now, would you be willing to trade all those rounds?
From this game to that, for one chance, just one chance.
To come back here and tell these cheating fucks they may take our reload,
but they'll never take our freedom!
Yeah, go next.
Guys, don't do it so fast.
Late?
Oh, don't get me started.
He told me 10 turkeys here the other day.
Without me?
Second leg at Jeff's. Anyway, he joins us at 11.15.
No way.
I literally went over to him, took his headset off, and I just said,
Lebo, remember, you're just a coach.
Too late?
Always.
Anyway, he takes a timeout, gets some comms,
turns to Mia says any suggestions,
and I'm like,
little bro, go to the coach,
blade, fake now.
And I'm like, go B, no.
Go B, but then go A, no.
Brother, I named seven other variations.
Finally I say, fanatic, into game-relief,
and fake, ending with Australis.
Typical.
Which I know he wanted to do in the first place.
And what does it say?
If that's what you want to do.
So I literally stood up,
took his little strap book,
and...
Boom!
Boys!
What are you doing?
Discussing...
Stress.
Brainstorming.
What have I told you?
You don't need to do that.
You're the boss.
My little brother.
If you're gonna make a call, make a call!
Save it with your chest!
Only us two taking responsibility.
Bleeding.
Secondary leader.
Oi!
He's a coach.
A manager, man!
So he's like, why are you ordering like this?
That's not in our nutritional guidelines.
He's obsessed with greens.
But he's actually trippin', he's full red.
Anyway, I just told him,
little boy, take their fries out of the bag.
Bro, I literally cut him like that.
Wait, like that?
Like that? Like my new boss, Ciggy?
Okay, throw him to Ciggy.
All the throw bitches.
So, you didn't guess?
You know what?
Of course, I'll explain better, bro.
I even said inside.
I have a problem to show you about it.
You have a big squad.
Big squad where? Left or right?
That's middle.
In the middle, big squad.
Big squad.
So fucking square.
Big, it's not big.
Actually, yes, it's good.
Out of this squad, put one more.
Next to him, one more.
Top?
One more?
Yeah.
Do I have to guess now?
No.
More quad to the right.
Fucking shit.
Small.
Yeah, and one more, the bigger one.
Okay, you need to put down on this.
Good.
Yeah, do you understand what is it?
No.
If it would be colored, it would be red colored.
It's a bomb plant.
Yes.
Either it does to be.
No, not in the cloth because...
Nuke?
No, wait, why?
Fuck me, shit, I have no fucking clue.
I know this beat.
Bro, why?
It's so fucking easy.
What is it?
This is inferno.
Obviously, this is first, but second, sir.
Our experience is so good.
You can start from top right side, start the square from here and go down and go left
side now.
Stop, go down, right side, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, and now go
on top, until, until on top.
Big square out of that, so you can start from left side, down here, full on top,
full on top, full, full, full, full, full, full.
You can start from down with the square and on down, and on, close it, you know,
top left, yes, but a bit down, yes, just go square, bam, bam, bam.
So draw a rectangle on top of this, but sideways a bit, like a...
Here?
Okay, it's good, and go down, and close it.
On the same big square, bottom two boxes.
Just do one there.
One here.
One here.
And one, you can start from the middle of that.
Yes, and square.
Yeah, close it.
Between the middle and the top left.
Three squares, fast.
And that one down, one right side.
They are all connected.
Just imagine they are all three connected.
Now a bigger rectangle from this one down.
From this?
Yes.
Yeah, and up.
Oh, like this?
Yes.
Down, down, down.
Yes.
Yeah.
Big square.
Bam.
Can you guess?
Well, it's so hard to explain.
What the fuck?
But you said you explained so easy.
Bro, I explained.
Is this internal?
No.
Okay.
Wait, what the fuck?
You like this map?
This is Dust2?
No.
It's the map that you don't want to be alone.
Is this mirage?
Yeah.
Asa.
You can start from the middle with a rectangle.
Bam, bam.
And now you do another rectangle, but like this. Yeah, now it's like this
Bum bum bum and now one straight
Okay, you can do so much this you can do another one like this
Yeah, you can connect another rectangle or another rectangle straight like
Yeah, straight, you know another one straight with a circle on top
What is it?
Yeah. See, we got it. We're stuck on the road, but we got it.
Something, something T-central and I think that just means like the central station around here.
I'm just going to call the train station. That's what it is because that's where we are today on our way to Hamburg, Germany.
We're going to go visit Malz and we're going to be taking a train overnight to get there.
So in the meantime, we're going to be talking to people the entire time.
It's not ward on the street, but it is a man on the street with trace.
I usually make the excuse that no one here speaks English, but literally everyone in
engagement the younger kids have something to do if you don't you know
have different sports and I think the e-sports you know branches is growing a
lot so things good yeah I think it does something for kids confidence it builds
kids up yeah for sure anything you want to say thanks for the talk maybe no
No problem, thanks for having us.
Thanks.
All right, off to Hamburg we go.
So my camera guy named Ross, he decided to pack all these bags.
Me personally, I just knew it was an overnight trip,
so I didn't really pack any of this.
But yeah, that's Ross.
That's R-O-S-S.
Oh, hey, man.
Hey, look, it's us.
It's the Eurojet.
It's like a night sleeper.
Now, I've never done anything quite like this
in my whole life.
I'm so excited, let's go!
Well, the luxurious chariot we call the Eurojet.
We're on our way to Hamburg.
Obviously, we had to get a little grub,
and had to get a little dinner.
So we had one of our finest chefs bring in exactly
what we were looking for, isn't that right?
Come on, bring it in.
So, we're going to Hamburg and that's exciting because mouse, you know, maybe we can help
them find some more up there.
I understand that they have a super cool bootcamp facility and after all this online nonsense
I thought it was time to go to their facility so that's exactly what we're doing.
We're going to be on this train all night.
It's going to be a long night.
All right, getting set in.
Obviously, watching ESL Pro League on the train is a privilege.
It's an honor and it's so freaking cool.
It's hard to go to sleep in here, but I guess I will have to do that at some point, so maybe
this is the indicator I'm looking for with the stream lagged out.
Morning.
Alright, alright, let's do this.
And that's what happens!
Who needs a beam?
Winner, that's good.
The wave is a perfect end.
This is kind of a lie.
This is madness.
It's ESL Pro League. It's season 23. It's not quite traced on a train.
anymore but it is day one of stage two and it is Jason being rudely awoken for the
morning shift alongside Bingo. Welcome to probably the best eyesight in all of
Counter-Strike. I'd actually think that's accurate yeah yeah yes yeah I've been
upgraded it's great. I was gonna break it to Jason you know that it wasn't just a
dream what happened last night that liquid is indeed eliminated yeah tournament
How do you feel about that?
A 3D Max?
I feel OK.
I don't know why I'm the resident liquid player
on this couch.
She works!
It's like I have to answer for liquid.
I'm not competing.
I'm not practicing.
Ex-coach of Team Liquid.
Only American on this.
Well, we discovered that last night with the mail bag,
ever at the DHL mail bag, everybody was emailing
and saying they've disowned Team Liquid as Americans.
Also, I will say, we've kind of painted the picture
that they're doing.
So no results and no fan base.
Their VRS and major chances had kind of plummeted
a little bit.
I think the word we use is like it was kind of like a do-or-done.
They've signed up for me, right?
They've signed up for Dracula, and I have the French land,
so there's some more opportunities for them to get to the game.
See, you activated my trap card, Jason.
You're thinking...
You don't have a trap card.
You're thinking this is their chance, right?
But it's not.
That's only going to be the final nail in the coffin for this Team Liquid lineup.
You think they're gonna run the gauntlet at Dracula?
Are you crazy?
You know who's going to these tournaments?
Monty.
Hoto.
Gentlemates.
I don't really care.
I just wanted to give you the information beating these teams. Nope. I don't care again. I have to stress that
I don't care even a little
Just like to bring the information to the table that was do or die and they're actually dead
I'm very excited for the stage two teams. Yeah
Oh, but he's here too on to you there in the Dracula and champs. No, but this is this is gonna be fun
I think this is gonna be fun
Not that I didn't love the stage one games that did had a lot of fun
But I just feel like the amount of times we're gonna see cool
all intersections of teams in very different places.
Yeah.
I'm just sad we didn't get passion away in stage 2
to see Pat, you know, Sansi versus Mongols.
That would have been fun.
That would have been fun.
Should we take a look at the team seeding?
Because obviously, everybody knows the teams seed each other.
We can compare how they were seeded versus VRS versus how
the teams rate them.
Any huge outliers, I think it makes sense to spirit
our house.
Great process.
Around seventh, actually, by the team.
In real life.
I guess Mongols being ranked 5 by the teams, it's like doesn't seem too crazy from the jump, but I think after the roster change it's a little bit surprising, a little bit of respect coming in for foot, they've gained 3 places, that's quite nice.
You can come shocked that Pain is this high.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, that's true.
But I see you're just better online I guess.
But that's it.
Maybe that's it.
Monty, surprise qualification to the next stage and they lost a spot in the rankings.
Yeah.
Okay, that's no bueno.
It all kind of aligns, it all kind of checks out.
I guess Astralis being...
It's not too far off.
The teams have put Astralis three places lower than DVRS in players, which sounds probably
about fair.
I'd say it's harsh.
Faze hasn't budged.
We haven't really caught up yet to the fact that Faze hasn't looked very good.
But though, respected Aurora slightly down in the players' estimations, I guess that's
the respect of the mongers.
That makes sense.
Aurora fans just need to tweet at every single team.
Yeah.
respect let them know every player and his manager every quote it is unreasonable you have the time
guess what we've got though what have you got oh a very very special delivery from the HL
wow look at that wow i wonder what's in the box in the box there's a march
oh my god lots and lots of paper mysterious paper of which i'm not going to read and we're
gonna try and do this fairly because every single down time somebody comes to me says oh you cheat
in because you picked out first and it's your name so I'm gonna round the room
everybody gets a pick I'll pick me out least
Alex pick me Alex for Bum bum bum DHL MVP right so we will reset I don't know who
won stage one kind of doesn't matter because we're all winners here pick me
you go by that's gross anybody we get started he gets it done he gets it done
He gets it done correct. That's lovely. Thank you. I'm gonna go to the very back of the pile
That's me. I tried to submit a strategy. I've got Chad. He's gotten a shiro. Oh, well, it's number two or not.
Yeah, that's fair. That's a good show. He's done well for himself. Yeah
Got Moses. Do you remember a Shiro MVP? I don't remember. You got Molladoy. Molladoy. I'll take a Molladoy.
I'm not upset about a Molladoy.
I'll get the tools for you to get this one.
Henry. Oh, that wasn't the rule, but
Henry god case Arato congratulations. That's not bad. Yeah, don't she run into
Henry to watch it from
Actually, we'll do like the reverse seeding whatever. Yeah, like yeah, sorry for not coming yesterday. I got me
Wait, hold up. Hey, Harry God spinks
You be
Good choice. I got a Zantara's
You guys are so excited. You don't seem super happy because you forgot it's online. You should be better hyped. Oh, wow
We're skipping Alex. Okay. No, no, we're going backwards. Oh, we're going back. How are you doing?
Reverse seating. Oh Freya. Let's go. We've got you. You're gonna get a Jimmy. Jimmy
Jimmy, you know what I've got faith and trace visiting mouse in real life. That's gonna like it's gonna give them all right
Yeah, yo
You get Cobra
That's great.
Right, now I'm lost.
Now you gotta go to Alex again.
Yay, okay.
I...
I...
Oh god, this is not gonna be interesting.
What have we got?
I get...
This isn't the last one.
Oh, I get Dumau.
Oh, Dumau?
Yeah, that was my number two.
Dumau!
Nice.
He's poised to have a run.
Very nice.
Thank you very much.
He's primed.
I haven't had a master class right now.
And Stunna will be the last pick.
Oh, that's sad.
And he will get Makazer.
Makazer from Rolnavi.
Very nice.
Also had Sawfly, he had Blitz in here, and he had Sid.
I think my list was put together in like, but I spend the most time on my list actually.
I'm looking at it now.
Give us a recount.
Yeah.
Well, I mean we've got, you know, number one Donk, number two Dumau, obviously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As you normally do.
Actually, number three Cobra's there, right?
I really saw them two.
Yeah.
great. Then we've got some longs in there, some gizmi, some zulu.
You were going for a really hard hitting team.
I always wanted to, if I win, you were a first robust.
If I win, I really won, you know.
Okay, so Donkenshiro for Hugo and sponge, Molodoy for Jason.
I do think that's probably the top three.
It looks much better Alex that you were ninth and then you get Dumao instead
if you were like the second.
I wanted to confess my sin.
Respect to Dumao though, you know.
I don't think he gets enough love.
No, he actually doesn't.
Respect to Doom, Alman.
Look at the mustache.
Yeah.
It's strong with that kind of flowing hair.
It's U-Way, guys.
Look, U-Way.
No vitality.
This is a legacy event.
It feels that way, doesn't it?
That's it.
It's the return of art.
Layed up for them to take the crown.
Yeah, any other kind of interesting stories
that you look into, or Janko,
for the new eight that you're joining up?
Has anyone recall them?
The new eight?
Yeah, I think it's got a ring to it.
Well, I think obviously we had the news
that in case Feria makes it to playoffs,
Fallen isn't going to be there, they're going to play with their coach.
So that makes this tournament even more wide open for Spirit.
Now it's having those sort of Astana vibes when they were there and by far the best team.
And it's like they won.
And it's like, yeah, that if you hadn't won this tournament, it would have been a disaster, right?
So some more pressure on them considering they had extra time on practice.
This isn't a mouse event?
There's mouse event.
It can be an house event.
A mouse event can be an event where the top five teams are not in attendance.
Well, for the playoffs, it kind of won't be.
I know that sounds harsh, but I don't think it is.
I think it's just a team that was supposed to make roster changes during the break and
then they didn't.
Yeah.
So that makes the camaraderie weaker.
That was one of their biggest strengths.
Like I think the only saving grace for them would have been to go to some smaller tournaments
a little bit, you know, and maybe if you lift the trophy there, you find something
for the team, but like, how are you going to why would I pick them over anyone else?
What have they shown me?
Especially when I'm on a tournament in a year.
I don't know, Mouses Bank Bands, but like, you could have probably afforded do now.
Like, if you think about it.
Yeah.
Second, you're the most valuable.
Fainting is really easy to buy out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Think it's just like, Mouses are very, very good team.
That's not going to win the tournament.
That's just it.
You know, that's going to be so sick.
They're going to win this.
On Tars, that's going to win those six.
I'm going all in a mouse.
You can go swear on.
I'm all in a mouse.
go to every tournament in the last nine months and you will find me saying something along these
lines so that could be a long montage. As Saul said last time, the timeout doesn't matter about
all the mistakes you make on the journey, all that matters is the win at the end of the day.
He also said no negative comments. He also said no negative comments. And if you really want to
make it good, Alex, have the White House social media guy make it. Yeah, okay.
Anyway, no.
I'm gonna be out of this game of the day.
I'm still on topic.
I've never seen Marlon's home.
Hey, Peck.
I'm padded.
It still works here again.
Oh, can you imagine?
I hope I'll do another trophy in my Instagram.
They took down a couple of big scouts and obviously I can remember all of them
But what do you say to me? Okay? Yeah, they've took a down a lot of good team our vision
Heroic the likes of NRG. It was what big wins. That's astounding. I couldn't agree more unbelievable
I don't remember who they beat, but I remember the gizminate. Yes. I think that was against power vision no less
I think that was like, you know, that was when we realized it wasn't going to be the same power vision
any of you catch James interview with HLTV where you kind of like talked a
little bit about that I think it was HLTV. That was his telegram. Yeah, he's got a lot of posts on the telegram, a lot of like insight.
Yeah, James obviously a follower, Jason obviously a follower of... Yeah, I am. I'm in the James telegram.
I'm in the dark one, I'm in the sheer one, I'm in the monocle one. I'm in the do-mal one.
Oh, good for you. Yeah, you started it. Yeah, just me and you.
Maybe you watch a bit of a Tandren hedge, maybe you watch Flamesy's vlog, PGL win because
he was asking Mezzie, what are the three good things that British people do?
And he said, food.
Objectively not true.
Football.
Roast beef.
Objectively not true.
Counter-strike players and he shouted out Gizmy, I think maybe they're friends.
He's doing something.
He's trying to help the boys out.
Right?
He's trying to build up the scene.
He's in the run.
I had to, but he should get dream team immediately before himself. I mean, you have to you got to get a pretty solid team
You gotta get you have the year gotta keep the guy happy to so he can pull you up
Yeah, pull me up to deny Henry being the coach. Oh, I mean, I would have also found that quite egregious until I remembered
Ash exists and then I'm like Henry's got a lot of positive qualities Henry could maybe maybe be like assistant coach
Maybe psychological he does so many so many things well
I just think the coaching role maybe not maybe more like general man. He should be
The role for Henry is guru and mouse could use
Yo, actually, that's true. I was need some of that Henry G. Hank Hollywood energy. He's on the south of there
I think they did that I would have picked him to win this tournament. It gives me play with Irish players
That's pretty cool. That's an arm of an Irish team. Yeah
Yeah, a couple of good players. What's your five man on one?
We would have to bring some British players and unfortunately
Unfortunately, there is not enough place just in case it wasn't clear from if you were watching just before we opened the show
Trace is on the way to Hamburg to
Is he gonna get there today? He got in I want to say like half past nine
I mean, he slept on the train.
Yo, this was, by the way, this was his choice.
So we're in this train and it's like, hey, okay,
how do we, how do we want to get there?
You know, this is a plane.
Yeah, plane.
What time?
Train or an automobile?
No, train was his choice.
Great one.
Thank you.
Train was his choice.
Do we know how many kilometers this trip is?
I will find out.
I'm a big train fan.
Okay, so the most exciting thing about this
and why I'm so jealous of what he was doing
is I think maybe potentially this train goes on a ferry.
The train goes on a-
What?
My logic?
I know.
So you see like in between-
Copenhagen and North Germany.
Yeah.
So it goes like the tracks go on to a boat,
and then the tracks disconnect.
Exactly, and they have-
Are we sure it's not-
We're not perfect.
Just make a tunnel.
Yeah, isn't there the tunnel from-
That's Marl Mall to Copenhagen.
Yes.
What about, because there's, I don't think, well, they made the bridge between like Germany and Denmark, right? I think.
That's why I'm saying potentially, because some of the routes take it some of the time.
Wait, how big are your trains though? Like, pretty big.
I would say a ferry for a train is quite a large ferry.
Yeah, just on my mind, it's like a long stroll.
And it's also another ferry that like people can just walk on.
Unless you fold the train up car by car, you know what I mean?
Yeah, like a completed Tetris.
Yeah, then you would be able to maybe fit it on a ferry.
That doesn't sound really practical.
It doesn't, but neither does a ferry on a train.
With a train on it.
Let me have it.
That doesn't sound practical either.
Are there any other...
You just hate public transport, Jason.
No, I'm in the old Americans.
I would love to have some more public transport
in my country.
If he could drive a pickup truck,
I'll call him to Hamburg.
Jason would be all over it.
Yeah, that's 150.
But like, you know, I'm just thinking,
there's no way a ferry can carry a train.
It's the first time I've heard of it, is it?
Yeah, I've never heard of it.
There was no ferry in this.
Okay.
Are we sure the ferry even exists?
It was a great segment, right?
Yeah, thanks, man.
The misinformation on the internet.
Game is almost ready.
It's fine.
I'm hearing.
Very reference.
The reason why I just wanted to go far away is it because Alex, your favorite country,
Montenegro, right?
Yes.
There's a train from Belgrade to Barraport in, you know, and it's like this overnight
also, but it's like 600 kilometers.
Okay.
And it takes you like 12 or 13 hours to make a trip.
What?
Because the train is like 60 years old, right?
Right and it's just mental. So you run out of food, you run out of everything at some point, right?
And you're just praying to get there eventually and obviously I took their trip a couple of times
because it's cheap. It's like 10 euros right that trip because it takes 12 hours.
You know what? It doesn't take 12 hours. And if you bribe the conductor getting this game started
game I'm hearing is very much ready to go. Oh, I love it. I love you. Bye. Bye. Oh,
Hey, you know how to cast a pistol round?
Come on.
Very good.
Just a couple rounds.
All right.
Well, she's gone.
Last confrontation.
Blast bounty in Malta.
A 2-1 victory for Monty.
OK, so Monty really are a bit of a dark horse.
A bit of a sleeper bike.
Monty's success, I love it.
Oh, you just called them onlineers, then, OK?
Well, you were, oh, OK, OK.
Got a little bit more chess behind them, I guess.
We've got Monty as onlineers, but there's
not a single German on the roster.
It's crazy how that works.
Who are the Germans of this generation when it comes to online play?
I want to ask you a question.
I don't know. We have the French Canadians.
The French Canadians are all online.
Just just.
I love that every community has their own like perception as to who half of the Germans were just straight up cheaters.
Yeah, well, back in my day, even the start of CS goal, like you had
checks out multiple like pro semi pro guys end up getting banned for cheating.
So.
So yeah, it's always, you know, like anything, it's kind of rooted in in some facts.
but also exacerbated just by it's a compliment the online really when you
think about it I mean I seriously also exist so here's something also exist yeah
the embodiment of that well dust to inferno and then mirage so we've gone for
the classic maps we've gone for the ones that with the warm blanket maps you
know I love this is my favorite map pool and also the most hated one for
transplant virtual yeah you still are you still an inferno enjoyer I just
love the vanilla maps man yeah I like it they've made changes to it I look at
preferred my favorite would have been dust to mirage new okay inferno yeah I'll
take inferno new also counts as a classic map this year yeah yeah it's still
strong oh a nice stretch from the observer that looked great hey you've
got excellent work on your shoulders oh where's rush thank you I fell asleep
P-Fall, it's like fucked in.
Oh, well, I like it.
Must be nice.
He said no and left, he just said no and left.
Well, Na'Vi versus Monty, let's get into it.
Dust2, Monty gonna be starting on the T side.
A lot of utility here.
Let's see what they come up with.
Afro carrying the most of it.
Calm down, Dinkwai.
I know it's stage two, but it's just the first game.
Yeah, it's exciting.
You know, it's the first game.
It is exciting.
This sets the stage.
Stage two, Janko, it's the second stage of the competition.
It's where things start to level up.
Not what he stands for.
Yeah.
Rain Waker headshot as well.
Oh, he's back.
Yep.
It's so good to see him like his mate.
Oh, after all of his time in liquid, he gets to take all that experience,
all that knowledge that he gained,
all those game-based wins.
And he made it through the liquid.
In the confidence that he's built up,
what?
This is going to be a whole new day for Rain Waker.
I can feel it.
That's what I said, Jason.
Joke of Steve, never wrong just early.
Yeah, just early.
So, someone picked a patsy.
Uh-oh.
Where's he gone?
They're just losing bodies if you're about to push him to beam as he's gonna have a hard time tracking both
Come on Rainmaker get that plan going come on you can do it. He's already got to he's done his job
Why are you waiting? Yeah, he's just secure in the victory now. He's going there. We go
Yep, he turns around because he had a chance at that but Red Waker collects a 3k
There he is no one backstabs likeable Gary in brain waker 3k that's saying
I don't know what I mean
Well once you win the pistol so I'm ready to call this one a huge upset win for Monty
And I had breakfast today, stomach's feeling great.
Oh.
They're all good.
I have had an energy drink and about 30 seconds of sunlight.
I'm feeling really good for you.
Turmeric shot and a banana, peanut butter, protein shake.
Okay, you're flexing on us.
Well it's the first of the eight days I've been here that I've eaten before two
o'clock.
How do you do that?
Yeah, thank you.
That's turmeric.
It's a spice.
Spice.
Bugs at ESL for a bit. That's pretty good. That's an accident
Well
Azul oh, yeah, Jason if you could say
Every time every single time. Alrighty. I got you. Thank you
Simicons is alone. This actually gets really awkward unless he hits another one of them. Oh, it's got all good already
Oh, he's not so good as well.
Alright, well, they can still recover.
It's gonna be tough without Rain Waker, but Afro and Vimoss are still here.
I haven't had to say that name in years.
Here we go, native towards the plant.
That's a nice little bounce, good little geometry.
There's a zero percent chance.
No, no, they got it. They got a two percent chance.
There's a hundred percent...
Fifty percent chance.
There's a hundred percent chance.
What the hell?
He's cracked.
BMS is so back. Yo, BMS, respect. Custom respect on his name. He's the only man that brought a tripod as well for his integrity camp.
Oh, we love him.
How do we love him?
Time of his life. After all of this hard work from McCarthy, he does get to. They lose the mid-luck and still BMS can close it down.
Respect.
Here it comes.
Shalang.
So I was at the Blast RMR's for the Paris Major, Gizmy was playing with this Irish team I was talking about.
And so I was talking to one of their opponents and the coach was saying that they looked up Gizmy's sensitivity
and saying he was playing anchor roll on B on overpass and they would just flash him because he couldn't turn.
Low sense?
It's up with the British players in low sense.
Henry uses something like a trociously slow as he runs.
He's on 0-0.
I've never heard of anti-strat of that level.
I mean if you notice someone's sensitivity is like point five might as well and contours
At that point he's back in the flash again
Yeah
The whole arm is just flying close to the table those of you new viewers who may have been joining us from not viewing in the recent years
The moss has is a player who has had stints on phase previously back in 2020 also spent a few years on mouse as well
So he might be new to you, but he has been around the block
And for a while into the breach as well. How's it poached by that? Yeah, I wasn't gonna bring that one
Yeah, he was in an information.
How was he as a player, Janko?
Great.
Did he touch him?
Yeah, yeah.
He had no experience.
He was a rookie, but he was very motivated, eager to learn,
listened to whatever we needed of him.
We couldn't put him in the proper role for him,
so he had to play lurker, T-side.
I think with his mechanics, he would have been much better
playing in the group and trading and using his aim, but it was just the nature of the situation.
You might take a spot from Argo Reign.
He was a stand-in, right? Like all of retired mid-season, so it was kind of rough, and this
was made more sense for us instead of to change everything, just sort of slot him in even though
we knew it's not ideal. He did a good job. I, you know, I wasn't surprised that he got
picked up by Maus quickly after. And I think people will be surprised as well,
I got to know that you did all the scouting in this selection process of Brokie
Yeah, well, I wouldn't thank you Jason
I'm not gonna take all the credit. I was definitely a part of that process, but
Yeah, Brokie was also brought in during tickles me
Streets of face it's a face. Yeah, we wanted young blood, you know, we wanted to
roster so yeah, I wanted some
Ambrus Dumao not on your radar yet?
No, he was 12 at the time.
Broke, yeah, he was on the names that was there.
Dude, I hope Dumao has the best stage 2 for us.
I'm telling you, I've got a feeling.
I've got a feeling.
If anyone was beating the drum for Dumao and Lato this year, it's been me.
So no one would want it to succeed.
You can see you're putting in number 2 on your MVP prediction, sorry.
He's got you there.
Yeah, because I had him as number 1.
Oh, yeah.
I picked after you Alex. Oh, yeah, yeah, and lucky mate. I'm lucky you too. I'm Luke. Oh
It's flush I need to write all day enough. Yeah, I'm this little chef. Oh, what are what he's doing right now?
Probably he's watching buying a mouse and keyboard at the JW still lifting
He's just clearing out the shelves. Yeah coming in help his boy get a pilot truck starts lifting all the mice
Yeah, just make sure they're working as they should
Mid to be smoke now mid flashbang gizmy is gonna have a little bit of presence rain waker leading the way
And that's a lovely opening provided didn't see that
This is supposed to be a lurker. What is this now? I'm an entries. He's a party animal
Talking about flush up how to play we try to get good. Yeah, you don't want to join. Yeah, we wanted him as IGL oh
Ooooooh...
In 20...
You had high game IQ, man.
That would have been very inter- I would have- I would love to see the Flusha G.L.R.
You said what year?
2019.
After the year after the Kelvys here.
Flusha, Rain, Olive, Guardian, Equals, sounds kinda sad.
It does actually, especially at that time.
He was on Cloud9 before that, with that...
Oh yeah, everyone was-
I think everyone was-
Kyushima roster.
I think that roster, you know what?
I'll say it. I think that roster could have actually been something.
I might be a little bit crazy, but I think that roster could have actually been some cool.
They played them like two or three times.
Those were tough games. They played good.
Automatic was surprisingly good on the AWP.
Yeah, they had so many really good role-players.
What was that? That was Flusha. That was Automatic.
Rush.
Rush was there.
Yeshima.
Yeshima.
And the fifth was...
I almost want to say it was like a Slammy kind of a figure.
No, no, no.
No, no, no. Flusha was the IGL.
Slemmy was with the Stubbier-Rosser when he first came in.
Yeah, I just felt like he was still there at that point.
I'll let you know in a second.
Slemmy has a name.
That is a name I've had in my entire life.
That's the only context in which that name...
...Celsus.
See? I'll see.
Celsus.
That's not far off.
And he's Celsus.
They had the good player for him.
Yeah, maybe.
Didn't they bring Tenzin as well?
Maybe after that.
Yeah, maybe after that.
All the Valorantes now. Wonderful. It's time for this orb to do something. This is it.
You're gonna sweep through, you're gonna pull the trigger, and you're gonna find a nice opening.
Oh, forgive me. Not done. I wanted to follow it up either. Interesting. I'm gonna turn the
corner a little bit later, it looks like. Might want another flashbang. Here we go.
Yep. Okay. Now we just walk in straight into wonderful. Second kill claimed.
Oh, I learned a couple of cool smokes. I can show you guys if we go to zero. Oh, did you? Yeah
would you go in the flash as well? I've got a cool one on ancient. I had Harry and Hugo before
our face. It gave me like a little new best tutorial. Okay. Yeah, I can show you some of the new stuff.
We got to see the 3D Max B execution last night again. Not those flashes. It's so satisfying.
Yeah, Chad was very excited about it
Like we had no solution for that gather
Neither did gaming gladiators to be fair all the top team struggling against the 3d max executes
Those people I'm sorry it's been struggling once again
This time much better for mccalsy it's gonna take both kill away curving
That's a very missed smoke.
Not as missed as the G2 smokes last night.
That's true.
That is true.
How do you just like memory hold that round and just forget it existed because that's
not filled Monty with anything other than doubt?
No.
You move past it quick with the 4-1 lead.
Shake it off.
Yeah, yeah.
If that was like a 0-4 round, like that would suck, but yeah.
Like this is not difficult for Macaulay.
Not difficult for Marley.
But you know also there's like at the end when you're in that 3v5 you just don't care
because like the round's kinda gone to hell at that point
as you lose two players on short like that, it's like that.
Oh that's a fight, that's a brave brawl.
Azul is just a guy strong, woohoo!
I like it.
Azul has managed to take full long, so there you go, that's a nice valuable piece of territory.
They're straight back to be, like timing of this is really quick.
They want to try and punish bit, he's gonna have wonderful like quite close by,
Makaze not too far either.
Actually, Mikaza and Emo could even have a fast flight coming in, because they're clear in mid as we speak, not sitting back on their heels.
Yeah, you're right, this is actually very promising.
It's still got some utility as well, and can play up close, got the smoke to block Mikaza.
I'm surprised he hasn't blocked already.
Oh, he has to go down, so it has to be successful here for Mikaza.
He's taking one, goes in again, and after a lot of pressure, it gets a second kill.
Another rotation has arrived in time for Nobby, but the smoke down.
Not ideal.
Well, look at the delay. This is buying Ema time to start working into an angle as we were coming on that flank, but he's going to be way, way too far gone.
He's miles away.
If anything, like, it really favors...
OHHHHHHHHH!
Oh my God, man.
That was a long spray.
That was a brave one. Full commit to that.
Oh.
Just getting tagged.
The bomb's in the B bomb site. Now they have to retake it.
You had to B site.
So retake in the B bomb site, but this time the T site having to do it and we've got Ema going towards car.
It's a strong spot here for you, man.
It's actually slipped through.
Beautiful parting from BMS through that smoke.
It really looked like him that had the position to punish.
He's got to get out of this bomb site.
If he just stays here behind the smoke, he's dead.
Yeah, the bomb's down.
And he finds the key.
It's shock-free provided as who does find impact.
That's huge.
Ooh.
Even being so far away from the majority of that round,
he does arrive just in time to close it down.
Hell yeah.
Monty.
This dust too does look like it's a it can contend that's a spice to it and fire is probably enough because they get the gizmy
Nades and the CT side. Yep
There's our OP as hell as we all know we all we've all seen it. We've all we've all seen it plenty of times
Nice car I think that's not one of the round gets back in that's crazy
I like he exchanged hands like three times in the course of that that little exchange
Okay, signs of frustration on the Na'Vi side, Pound in the head is usually a dead giveaway.
Understandably.
Dead giveaway.
I had, Monty's one of the teams that came into this with zero expectations.
Same.
I didn't know zero expectations of doing something good.
Zero expectations of getting smoked.
I had nothing for this team.
Okay, they're one of the teams that at the start of the year started having obviously the result against Na'Vi.
bounty was the big upset against the tier one team but you know started making some waves in some of
these smaller events too. Climbing the rankings obviously their performance here will go a long
wait towards a potential major qualification. Yeah I just I just find it cool they're like one of the
orgs that I feel like is now like entering that territory of like the Heroics and like the
Ansys where it feels like they just kind of continually rebuild tier two teams that eventually
become competitive? Well, there's a couple of players just go out and do the things. Yeah.
But I like having those teams around. Absolutely. Well, they had that roster with Demka,
Oro, Krasbel, that was coming to tier one events, right? LNBT as coach, but
and they fell off a little bit, lost some player, went international, tried to rebuild and
just couldn't really hit with these lineups. And now they found another one. You know,
You know, they've only had this roster for a month, a bit over a month, I think.
The Rainwaker has been there for like a month, five weeks maybe, so it's clicked just at the right time.
Yeah, there's a certain natural chemistry it looks like that they're building off of.
Deep angle for Afro?
It's kind of the opposite of Team Liquid.
Yeah, in a way.
Can't argue with that.
There's another one in there.
That's got to be...
Ooh, okay, quick across the gaff, AWP covering, and CT spawned.
Wonderful calls out, presence in the middle.
They're gonna back away though.
Misdirection.
20 seconds on the clock as they come in through short.
Him up, wait, and the rifle's got an extra frag,
and because he's also stepping up,
so Rainwicker finally carving out some space,
but the issue is some utils still dropping,
and 10 seconds on that clock.
All right, and the bomb's gone down, five seconds on it.
They just can't win this round anymore.
It won't be naughty picking it up.
and very rough stuff after multi
yeah that's and i want to start out uh... they couldn't find what they wanted
early enough for a little time a little too much time spent in the middle but
it's all good and because he's had a great start really
yeah i don't think you're in panic mode or anything like that i mean money kind
of sucks i'll say that that's who died after time he had 500 bucks
maybe all good is a bit strong as a reaction i'll amend that to say kind
of kind of crap something that tier one teams one of the biggest gaps
between tier one and tier two, three teams is utility usage as well, right?
Like tier one teams don't really waste utility. Well, that's an entry. Wonderful.
With the op or right, maybe they have something here. Do they know about Makazili? No, they don't.
Well, now they don't. As he gets two kills, we've got Ima up short. At least the Tread comes in
from the Rainwaker. And that is one hell of a headshot from Bimas. He comes back from bit,
It numbers still even, but it's Afro and Rainwaker who both have premium weapons.
Yeah, and 100 HP.
Afro's got the AWP, he's going to move out towards Long at the moment.
He's also got the bomb on his back.
Now they know the location of Bit, they haven't spotted Alexei quite yet, so they
don't have that info.
Afro being very cautious out Long.
Yeah, but he's reading this well, you know, taking this space.
See how far he goes before Rainwaker maybe activates.
Are they going to piece this one together?
surely you get rainwaker moving up short at some point right like you don't
just let out for a while he's
no one has eyes on this
okay
so he'll be relaying that information he's about to reveal it
i had another friend maker maybe heard both
what are you
plant for cat
it's time for like plat
huh
be frank
yeah but it was not expecting rainwaker to still just be parked at xbox
winnable for a lexie not comfortable though on the jump up
planet for cat remember don't goose if you guess this kill on goose you can just
hold it oh my first ready
oh good Jason you were right he gets that kill right it's just over yep no no I
mean the start of it yeah they're fine yeah I was right they are indeed fine
it was right never wrong just early I mean that's well that's this shot's
insane this one's not we already saw you make it a little bit pissed off really
who's she like say like what you can't believe it great time oh my god we're
doing it actually doing it boys they said no be back down to a week
purchase I'm surprised play didn't take a time out after that one that's right
maybe you're gonna save it for up to this one because that's a bad round to
Obviously seeing the money situation and everything maybe he wants to get like a little bit angrier
I know what happened to wonderful how he died. I guess he just missed and being was punished him
This guy was gonna peek into Afro. It's coming. He's just deep down in time. Oh
For getting detected shot was as fast as had
But for Monty, it's a commitment into the A site smoke is up. Let's do a moving past it
And he's actually gonna kill through that smoke.
Sparrows down, catches him up, and that's an opening now to move in for Monty.
Man, that's a seventh round.
Great start.
Pice it quick.
Convincing.
Yeah, very.
That's a zoo on the way in.
I like this parthing, caught like maybe a half a second flash of the player before
the flash and smokes.
Alright, well, next round's gonna be the buy for Navi, so I guess here, I mean,
they're not really doing anything.
I thought maybe you'd clear something and then look for some exit kills the moment they haven't moved around the map
There's nothing they need to say for the next round
And now we another one of those teams that got hurt by the map pool changes, right?
Like they were putting a lot of emphasis or training they got pretty good on it by the end of
Last year, and I think that's all the biggest issues for this Navi team
Like there's not a single map that you can say Navi is great on this map. Oh good kills
they got the exits their Mirage was back for a little bit you know they seem to
be able to content against everyone but now it's tapered off once more there's
no mapper like oh now he's gonna pick this every single time that it's open
like they're trying to find that map sometimes they're trying to punish
with their mappings you know inferno sometimes and whatnot but nothing
really stands out so it's like they're terrible a lot of other maps but you know
that's two has been a bit of a struggle I think this is like more I don't know
Navi's another weird team too like I Navi's another team I don't really know
how to place it's like unlike Monty I had expectations for Navi but I feel like
they've all been through I don't know what they're a weaker version of
miles. Okay, that's an interesting way to put it. Never quite thought about it at that angle.
I don't know if I caught, well they got aura, at least you know. Certainly. A little, well they got
more aura. Not saying much, but so does a ham sandwich. Yeah, but that black forest ham is no
joke. There's long to be missed. Straight away out for Monty, it's fast. I'm just gonna go
through the smoke, wonderful. Don't miss this time.
I like seeing through the smoke, wonderful.
He does take a lot of damage though, he's down to 5 HP.
They just caught two days back to back and then McCarthy swings off the back of them.
Just a zoo to go down, a convincing shutdown of a long commit.
That's what they want to see, that's what Navi needed.
A little bit of a reinvigoration, a little bit of a reminder of who they are.
Yeah, nice bounce back after the timeout.
Now you set them back down to lower money, this is where you got to string them together.
five getting out of this apple five of your body would be a very happy place
oh that was it if I could see from Dinkhole however was that I failed to get
that kill that turned around really you look at that screen you got the laser
That's what the viewers see us. Yeah, I'm aware of how PGM are all the time.
Oh, that's funny to me. But believe it or not. I like that.
No disrespect to J-Rez's fantastic context camps, you know. Like, I love those.
I don't like this respect. I love to see them normally.
I am however about nine feet away from the PGM which typically is more like no one watches PGM
in my life.
Apart from all the viewers, maybe everyone's watching.
Well now that Rush is in the main of Zero-R, I might...
Well, it's uh, Rush will be back in the building, hopefully let everyone, uh, oh that's right.
They're reassembling the fun bunch.
Yeah.
I feel like these are the sort of deaths that make Blaze phase go red.
There's like fire in a position where if you just miss one shot you're dead.
A couple of times that's happened to wonderful already in this half.
But it's just blocks, so they'll be fine, and they are fine.
Last round of half coming up, Navi, it doesn't feel like they've been playing very well,
but they could still squeeze five rounds out of the half.
This would be a recovery for sure.
I mean, Monty definitely came in with some pap in their step.
I don't see a world where the Azumu, actually no, no, I do see a world.
see a world I see a world I see a world I've changed my mind I've changed my
tune and then which they can win this round yeah 100% okay okay I first got a
terrible spawn for like a mid tag on the cross but he's gonna try anyway let's go
bang he's got a lot of nades as well Scott the here we go get the line up to
the mid doors looks good temple nailed it surely but if only I could look at the
PGM, I see you landed.
It did land, Alex.
Oh, and there we got the entry!
Woo!
There we go!
What a half, he's had 15 kills, 8 deaths.
That's Rainweigh's second double entry.
Double opening, I should say, technically.
I don't really stick around in the middle,
and Bit's gonna be feeling a lot of pressure coming his way.
Yeah, as you can see in his gameplay,
doesn't have any help on mid.
Here's him coming tons, he can still be damaged,
Oh, come on into a zoo!
And it is this world, we're living in it!
Where Monty can actually take an 8th round, despite having compromised by...
Rainwreck was in a perfect position as well.
Sound cues as they come down.
Oh yeah, come on.
Another one, get four.
Oh, he's quick today!
He really is.
Sound buffers.
Just a little bit too early to the party.
You know what? We like parties all the same.
Rainwaker is a beast. He's got 17 kills.
That's a little bit crazy. 8-4 for Monty. We'll be right back.
What's going on everybody?
Happy morning!
Happy stage two!
It is something we celebrate.
It's a national Counter-Strike holiday in Sweden.
By holiday I mean you go to work, but you get to watch Pro League on your phone.
Kind of cool.
Put it up on the side. Yeah, everything's fine.
It's also Monty versus Navi.
And Monty, you're in the lead. Quite convincingly so.
You've had a very frustrated Navi in our first half.
Getting this one started with a bang as Monty.
The dark horse of stage two as I've dubbed them.
I like that.
They're right now among many dark horses.
There are a couple.
Certainly, I think the stage one team's coming in here.
You know, the likes of Foot as well.
Legacy, obviously with Dumau.
There's a lot of excitement.
Especially Dumau.
he's my MVP pick for the tournament like DHL MVP or something like that yeah I
think you got a great shot I think you're in a good place with him on me too
those are nice hands great hands great hands
Ash, Kugel Byron hands? not quite but pretty great
Sola has those
he's close as well
he's strong on the pistol
B-Mass is going to be tilted
he's found a little bit of sanctuary burning now though of course he gets his one kill
and we'll be taking it away
yeah you get that one kill inside the plans you're happy
That's... you gotta be very pleased with that.
Oh, they want the pop flash through. Everyone's here.
Everyone's ready to get frisky.
Alfred just needs to get himself something from the side. He can't go down empty-handed.
And he hasn't. Quite the opposite. In fact, just pops heads like...
How dare you, Jerry Tomatoes!
In a Greek salad.
Are they in a Greek salad?
They can be in Greek salads, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you could put a cherry tomato in here.
Yeah, but it's not the season for the real tomatoes.
Yeah, I don't know. I think I'd prefer like a smaller tomato.
I think a large tomato, I mean it depends what we're having.
It depends what we're doing.
You can get overwhelmed by a large tomato.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a good one.
I haven't been to Greece in a long time.
Oh they are, right, Jason.
What do you want?
No, I just...
Did I sound like control?
No, I didn't expect to be having conversation about tomatoes.
Vegetable facts for the anchor.
Yeah.
Aren't you going down to your backyard or something?
I do grow vegetables in my backyard.
I've seen his vegetable patch.
Well, he's got a green thumb.
Well, more like a green pinky, I'd say.
I haven't quite got to the power.
It takes time.
Yeah.
I want to grow you some herbs.
Just some herbs and spices.
Okay.
What kind?
You can do that dude.
We're on the road for six weeks so I'm pretty sure I can't grow anything.
How do you, oh you've got, you can grow whatever you want.
Dude, I've killed a cactus.
That's how impressive.
Yeah.
I came back, it was fully dead.
They survived in like the Sahara.
It was not fully dead.
It's probably too humid for it in Malta.
Yeah.
There's probably too much moisture in there.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But drowned it.
See?
See, Alex creeped on it.
Yeah, wow.
Yeah, he liked that.
Yeah.
Well, that doesn't matter.
He's been waterboarding his cacti.
I know.
Like, oh, why won't these things survive?
Just drowning it.
Just put it in front of me when I cast.
See, that's not bad.
That's not good.
Humor that.
That's not bad.
Resident groundskeeper.
resident crownskeeper
all right Afro
give us some pistol on flare another one watch another little shut down on A
give me like a nice little
give me a fork and rifle he's not like a JDM
for the why I'm just slendering JDM like a full guy
he's turning in for the first time in six years like what the hell
hey watch it
Go get it. Nice. You got it. Good teamwork. Monty are absolutely destroying Navi.
The bloody hell's going on? Not much, you know, it's a slow start. That's one of these.
Yeah. JDM can't be the only example we have of an offer who can't rifle. Give me another one.
I don't know.
But like, he likes to. And not rifle. You can't. I mean, that's too harsh. But he
doesn't. He is not nearly as efficient on a rifle as he is on an AWP. And that's not just
because Op is Op and Rifle is Rifle, but you have guys like Monosik who's incredible on the rifle,
he could be the top 10 player just on the Rifle, Zywoo obviously, another clear example.
What about Woxic?
Sheerah so and so. Woxic so and so. I think both Woxic and Sheerah are better Rifleers than more
other. And Nika is one of the best Rifleers in the world and he's an incredible Opper.
On Dust2A, absolutely.
Hey, Donk is pretty sick on Dust2A, he's actually pretty op.
He is actually.
How many hang you in there?
I don't know if it's your hand or his wrap.
Donk is not an incredible opera.
On Dust2 in mid-doors yet.
He is a serviceable opera.
He can do that.
He's a good second opera.
Pop-offs.
If he tried, if he applied himself, you know?
Yeah.
Because that's one thing I've always said about Donk.
Exactly.
If he really tried and applied himself.
If he just tried.
Yeah.
Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of effort over there.
Who would a spirit play today?
3D Max.
3D Max.
True. That's a...
The French.
That's a rough one to pull in the day one, stage two.
That's the feeding.
It's alright, they're nice and warmed up.
Got all the confidence you'd ask for.
Right, it was that big win versus Liquid last night.
Alright, there's three defenders stacked up at this B-bomb site.
Molte have the good read.
But I feel like I've seen so many three-man stacks at the B-bomb site fail at this event.
Not this one.
Not this one?
That's not the setup.
It looks like one of them's anti.
Oh, did Azouz see the head?
He's committed to this.
said they had to see a zoo-er
this feels very brave
you know they're coming at him yes they're very much locked in on a zoo-er so
kate hunts it
rain waker though he is having a great game he continues to fight out ok rain waker
four for the same spot
dealing with everybody
twenty one and eight now for rain waker
life gaming
all i think this is just what he was always meant to do this is always what he was
let's see this again from xpv
your time on liquid does not count rain waker
I don't know the tolls.
Yo, that's...
Three with one paddock.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
He's like the number one reason why people hate liquid.
You can't just take it away.
What's that?
There's nothing wrong with it.
We're just down to Patsy now.
He rush.
When in doubt.
Rush B.
No stop.
Keep frame-waker at everything here.
I don't get up to 30.
I written it to be bombsite though.
That's a bit of a worrying sign for Monty.
No joke, this is the kind of round that makes you lose your grip on the game though
because you're up 11 to 4 and you feel like you should go for this against an eco and then you lose everything?
So would you say that the
The right call is to not retake against unarmored pistols? I'd be saving. I guess unarmored pistols, though.
I mean, if they're not giving you anything in these peaks right here, I'm not executing into this retake.
All right.
Now with an 11 to 4 lead.
Roll the dice, roll the dice, gamble your life, and it's worked out well.
Never listen to Moses. Here we go, into the retake, and they make it look easy.
It gives me this time.
Went a 4k on the retake himself, finally getting involved, picks up the AWP as well.
It gives me, it does, God's work right there.
12-4, it's Monty, absolutely wrecking the RV. Every round is wonderful.
Fair play.
Steve, Jason was coaching.
Fair play, dude.
You got Rain Waker and most of those tools.
Yeah, it is a bit crazy.
It is a bit crazy, like just because of the situation in the game, right, like you don't
need to...
But now you know you've killed them to another dimension.
Yeah, they're like, wow, we can't even with that.
Yeah, we go post-pod.
Like why are you not playing inside B against what is going to be a half slash low by?
I want to defuse that round.
Well, that's a bit...
Oh, man, chill.
and chill.
Alright Alex, load up those phones,
we're gonna have to learn some shit.
No, this might be quick.
I think it might be.
It's Monty's map, dude.
Oh, crazy.
Yeah, but look at it stylistically.
You know, like, eye test wise, this is just a spanking.
Get bit some coffee or something, man.
Rain Waker pops off.
Afro playing very well.
And B-Miss, just some really early important rounds
on that C side.
And we haven't seen anything from wonderful the big says believe this is going to be possible
Switches out to the AK. It's gonna get flanked as well JDM for wonderful for anything. Yeah, he's gonna shake off the
He's gonna he's gonna show what an opera can do with a rifle in his hands
Quick one
Monty a dominant star for the series they're familiar with the environment and they are flying high now
If you need a reset we'll be back to see if they can handle out map 2.
We're back with something a little different for a roll swap.
We're here in Melbourne.
I'm here with Doyle from Blender Studios.
Is that correct?
That's right.
What up Chad?
Welcome to Melbourne's famous laneways.
Well, where are we right now?
This is Presgrove Place.
The laneways in Melbourne are the cultural veins of our city.
We've got J.O. and Alexi B. Now, Counter Strike, I'm not sure if you're aware
of it.
It is a game which can torment the soul.
Is that going to help them with art today?
I think so.
I think the detail that they have to get to be at this level
will probably come in quite handy
when it comes to doing the detail in their art.
I'm quite impressed.
how good these guys are. I've done this many times with many different sort of
superstars like these guys and I gotta say the confidence that JL shows and
Alexi is quite interesting. So if I have to give the BB prize to someone I'm
gonna give it to JL. Well done man. You nailed it, you punk. Good work man. Stay cool. Stay in school.
I'm standing here in front of Merck Cacao,
Atasens of Melbourne, which are stores you find all over Melbourne and the local
shops so to speak.
They're specializing in making chocolate drinks, in particular hot chocolate.
I'm going to teach you how to make our most famous hot chocolate,
which is called the campfire. I can start now. I'm going to already tell you I'm a very generous guy, so...
100, yeah? 150. Now we take the cacao.
Cacao. Yeah, it's good with omelette I can tell. I'm not drinking this one, mate. I need a cup.
The small one, not the big one? Yeah, yeah, a bit of salt. That's a bit of salt.
This part is actually a bit scary. Oh, that was nice and smooth.
Pretty good, consistent as well, moving around flowing. Finished.
Perfect guys. First ghost, very, very good.
Now, Georgia, I need you to be bluntly honest with me.
Would you hire these two guys first and foremost?
I think we actually would.
After some training, I think we'd get there.
Who were the better chef, so to speak?
I think we'll go with contestant number two.
Cheers!
Inferno lays in wait shortly in our first game off stage two,
but I thought we'd take a brief intermission
to play another installment of Was It Real?
I know as Yanko said, do we need all of us?
I should have said yes, because he actually
does enjoy this game.
And actually, it's kind of topical to him as well.
Dinko, Jason, you haven't played this before.
Did you hear our segment on the Cloud9 roster from 2019?
Yeah, was that inspired this?
Or was it already ready to go?
We played it yesterday.
OK.
I have been highly inspired.
OK, yeah.
The definition of real, this is the exact definition of real.
just to reiterate plays at least four officials together so in theory that would mean two events
maybe okay two ish yeah two ish events it's it's loose was it real niko what is it can you read
it's niko yanko emi kassad and king or yes definitely real definitely real was most definitely
real couple of couple of orcs i was like i haven't heard of them yeah that's a cool team name though
Was it real oh my lord this was not real as I would went from triple a strip
to vitality you have good point yeah but did he ever play any kind of random
pug lands for fun no probably not it was official loss right four four
official or official or officials double ends I'm gonna say no I'm gonna say no
to but it feels like it's gonna be these good feels like a test feel like
It's going to be a yes. It feels like a no, that's going to be a yes.
I think it is some sort of crazy thing for our left field friend.
I know.
Something out of the depths of Liquid B.
Some random French lander that needs a quick rest.
I'm saying yes, just so I can get the point.
OK, I'm going to say no.
Did you get the point?
There were a few qualifiers back in 2018.
This was SEO's entrance to the mental world.
It's done well.
That is not a bad team.
Yeah.
That's kind of fun to watch.
It's kind of nuts, isn't it?
Esperanto.
Yeah.
What about him?
Good for him.
Was it real?
What have we got?
This is the politics.
No, wasn't there something with MBK and Sharks not necessarily getting along?
Yeah, they don't like each other.
They don't like each other.
Now, did that happen in a team?
Yes.
And that's the reason why?
Yes, it happened over the course of many teams and many years.
Right.
Well, Sharks and Smiths playing together, that...
But they always had to play together because they needed to have the best French players
of the time around.
I'm going to say yes on this, to be honest.
It looks so real.
Well, the problem with the French team...
This looks like it could be an MV.
...is they bounce random players around so much, like...
This team has to have been real at some point.
Like those five humans have been it's not the best and say they've all been in the same room
Although I'll say this as I'm as I'm second guessing myself
I feel like there was a while before Sharks got on like the French teams with some of the big dogs in the early days
It's kind of strike. I remember correct. We know a mix of Smith's the shocks and Smith's. Yeah. Yeah, that was good
Oh for a while
RPK and apex play together for a long time. It was at this team was this was a team with happy and self shocks, I think
Yo, that might be the genius move. I think you might be right
I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no as well. It's not real. It isn't real. It is actually insane to put all five of these player names in HLTV. Click all players and see the amount of times they've played versus each other. And also, some of those teams had like I kid you not you remember when there was like the rotation
So some of those teams had like, I kid you not, you remember when there was like the rotation, yes, like back in the day
Yeah, there's literally like eight players. It's never these five together. Yeah, I know
I was gonna say never these five they always had like they always had like one and a half French teams that were really good
And like the other three players were just kind of like left out
I'm like the island with like the last two guys that nobody wanted the the French was weird at the time
Who was the problem? We'll never know
Was it real
MSL, Nodious, Oscar, Supra, I mean that just seems like...
I'm snapping a yes.
Okay.
Does it make any sense?
But I'm just saying yes.
I don't remember a Nodious one.
I think this had to have been like in recent years where like all of them couldn't find a team to play on,
but they still wanted to compete so they kind of made a team together and then after like a month they were just like...
It was some time.
It was some time.
Yeah.
I'm going to say yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is correct.
together you totally right Jason 22 after all Titans crazy Titans and what a
Titan team it was look at that was it real oh my lord now the world wild I
don't oh man it could totally they could have I mean I'm looking at it's this
point a game religion Jersey how does the last time screenplayed an official
This this this screams off the page to me was it when knock was playing to tell you that right now
But HS was in existence were yeah, you're right. This is great. This is too crazy to be real
Absolutely, not is my answer for absolutely not any other takers. I'm saying no you say no in another
50 this might this might have been the team though that made scream go, you know what I think I'm gonna give up playing
No, dude.
Screaming existence.
I'll say yes, because I know.
So old school, there's no way.
Existence did have that little comeback period.
He was told back as a coach, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Seriously?
It's the gamer legion jersey that's thrown me,
because I don't even remember playing for that team,
and game legion have the weirdest concoction of players ever.
So I'm gonna say yes, just because it's just weird.
I'm saying no.
You would be right.
It was game legion 2019,
and it was existence last team.
It's what made him hang up the mouse.
Well, it makes sense to him.
He'm a legend.
What a roster.
There's a lot of people on that list that were wondering, HS, he had a lot of potential,
a lot of excitement for a moment.
He's just kind of falling off.
I think I remember the HLTV news article saying HS has decided to come back and this was
the team he joined.
Ooh, that's your comeback tour.
Yeah, well.
Wow, we've had some crazy rosters.
One, two, forget.
And the final one.
Oh, that's a really expensive player.
Yes, this did exist.
Huh.
This actually happened.
Did it?
This was heroic.
This was heroic.
It was how...
It was very fascinating how there's teams out there,
there's players that are making a living out of something that they love.
This series was no sprint.
Inferno truly a marathon of Counter-Strike.

No big fight here, and you know what you're talking about?
I don't know if someone knows about it all.

Nice, nice!

Okay, now, we're good, we're good.

Short, short, short
Nice, nice, nice
Planting on the site
We need to smoke, we need to smoke tunnel
I do the left smoke
I'm going to molly xbox, ok?
I'm ready with double flash guys
I'm going to flash, I'm going to flash
I'm going to flash one, I'm going to flash one more, flashing again
One down, one down
I'm trying, I'm trying
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Big box, big box, dead
Need stickers
Sorry, I'm dead
I have stickers, I have stickers
One of your stickers.
Bro, look at him, just look at him.
Yeah, it's oozing from him.
Yeah, bro, oozing.
What is your secret?
Is it the hair?
If we can only unlock that one key ingredient, that aura.
If we find that missing piece,
the trophies will start flying in.
OK, OK.
Detecting a little bit over here.
He's faded, but he got it.
Oh yeah, there we go.
Aren't you just a snack?
Yeah, I can deny it.
He got it.
Look at the size of him.
Yeah, he's a big guy.
For you.
Imagine him just slowly joping.
Your bones are a bit utility.
I've been just plowing it.
Bro, what?
The old school lead tea, the plow.
You know your history, bro.
Sorry, just got PTSD.
Hey, bro, ready to look in?
I wasn't even the crowd favorite in my whole town.
Like, I was looking for my family,
and even they were cheering for us.
We are in the mud.
But how even this guy has more aura than us?
He has to literally have zero.
Yeah, so he knows of this fucking butt.
Until...
Wait.
They won an actual fucking tournament.
Shit.
Fuck.
It is a win!
Monty, I love the comms. We got to hear a little bit of their comms and they're flowing oh so nicely.
Navi's gameplay not flowing perhaps as well. We got Janko, we got Jason and we got Map 2.
Boys it's not happening again though, is it? Navi are waking up now.
I don't know.
Everything's fine? I don't know.
Everything's fine.
I don't know, Rainwaker was a monster.
He was, absolutely brilliant.
He's just gonna give you opening kills, it's gonna get weird.
Yeah.
You got to put a stop to that and I still am sitting here look at Navi like I don't know what I'm supposed to make you
Um, are you supposed to be some world leaders? You supposed to be a top five team? What's going on over there supposed to
Get to dry off
Top 10 team what are we working on? I think they're a top 10 team wasn't a top 10 team on dust 2
I'll rather lose first and win second and third and winning first
And losing both of them like last time
Oh, there's a lot of things there. I don't know if I feed rather lose first map, then win the next two and win the series, then win the first map, and then lose the other two and lose the series like last time that they played Monty at Bounty.
Can't argue with that logic. It is good logic. If you wanted to boil it down, he'd rather win than lose. You try to make it really reductive.
But again, can't argue with that. Can't argue with that, flawless logic. Retake for
the three of them. Two channeled up short with a flash from Gizmy. The throw goes down.
Clean headshot provided. Gizmy needs a clean one. Can't find it. Now if we take the pistol,
I've got a feeling they're winning this in three. No, before the update, Montage just
saves in that 3v3. Oh yeah, it's a huge new graveyard change. Yeah. The balcony
as well play the part oh yeah we're on the new we're on the new one I didn't even think about
it's quite exciting I actually kind of I like the new graveyard I think it's kind of cool
yep idea I can't help but feel like not having that ridiculous crossing over from site to deep
graveyard but still having a piece of cover there is kind of nice to take it also you
not like any strength for a CT to stand there to defend against an execute of any kind
park yourself there and go for some sort of timing you know catching them to their site
And first pistol for Navi in this series rainwakers in this position, but surely he's gonna get
Chased down that low HP, but he gets out in the game hunted
Why get the HL?
It's gone away. I'm HP
Nicely done. Even making itself a small target this second run by
It's looking like it's gonna it's gonna fail four on three for Navi. Ema is low. This can all return quickly
Yeah, but this is where Navi does a very good job of taking their time
right
Crossing their teeth dotting their eyes
They say that
Ema dies and they just
untrained
They're not crossing their teeth. They're definitely not dotting their eyes and they've lost their own! What's going on Alex?
Oh my goodness! Afro just stayed there!
They were operating under some assumptions that it's made an ass out of them.
Also, I mean, you're dating a low HP player, but you gotta swing off that.
They knew that both players were here, right? Because they hear the Deagle, they know that the other player is out, so they must...
Okay, there's no way these two guys just stayed here until they made themselves known, right?
So I think Alex is just trying to hit the timing where at least one player is going over to be and
Wasn't the case unfortunately
I think the extra the extra risk taking from Monty because of the MP9s in the pistol. They were just like, you know, it's group
We're already taking a ton of risk. We already have crappy weapons
And this sometimes is a problem for tier one teams, right like to adjust their
risk assessment, I guess of the opposition, right because
Falcons would make a play like that, mouse players would make a play like that, but multi-players
they don't care, they don't operate on the same level, they're more risk-prone, right?
And then you need to account for that if you're now going into the series, especially because
you already played them, and you can't allow yourself to be surprised by these plays.
If anything, you need to be expecting these plays, that's what you're playing to
counter really in a way.
tilts tier 1 teams more than someone making stupid play.
Aphro sprays down 1, the second as well, and pit all that 3rd one to look great.
Spot on with the headshot, brought down to just Rainwaker and he's lost the mojo from
Dust2 so he falls without any kind of a bite back.
Yeah, real opportunity as well, that was a wonderful deagle headshot as well.
Hold up there they say.
Kit on site.
Thank you J-Rez.
Gonna go for this late retake. They're gonna give it a proper look in.
This means he's got two flashes. He can chuck out to activate a Zulu.
Zulu. Always done well on the timing there. Just catches a free headshot.
Surely not for a Zulu. Whatever. My wonderful deal's done everything required and we're now
into the mud. Weird territory. Back and forth we go. Afro's got 4100. He had all that bonus
money from the mp7 a couple rounds back so he can get an m4 everyone else would have to
save decisions to make for monzi they do force buy out the things
i'm not sure how beema's died he just died without being able to contribute whatsoever
they had the double hit seven but main ray cables on the mp7 so i'm not the best weapon for the job
ugly force buy now you feel like you've kind of done the hard work with your mp9s
now you've got to do with pistols majority anyway
Attempt to boost leadstone for heavy damage.
Lovely Nade.
Lovely Nade.
Alright, should be pretty slower around for Navias.
This time they will most certainly dot their T's and cross their eyes.
Rain Waker is going to be up at the end of halls and Bitspotter now can't win the fight.
Rain Waker, one more! He finds the piece of aggression into the bullets we go, but Azumu is still here.
Yeah, he's going to be playing to maintain this good diligent work with the Molotov bar.
That's safe on the balcony.
Jumps up on the railing.
Will they be assuming it's clear now?
He should be set for something here, is he?
Will he does have backstab?
He's the flashbang now with position noted up for a profit.
Gets himself a nice tap for number two
and puts this into a 1v1.
Wonderful with the advantage once that bomb goes down.
Just gives me arriving rocking up with his Desert Eagle in a dream.
Smoke faded though.
He peers down, he's...
Ooh, he hasn't really gotten the information.
Nobody's crossed a pit, as far as he knows.
Not making his move.
But it's a deagle!
Oh, and the spray for wonderful just commits to it.
Has the advantage in the fight, easy win.
Navi come out on top of the back of four, three to one,
and it's gotta be a save now for Monty.
Yeah, gotta slide things down right down.
I hate these rounds.
What, the Ecos?
Yeah, I hate saving.
I don't know, why can't everyone just have a gun all the time?
It just gets...
You know, it just gets a little bit boring.
Find something to do.
Got a P250, got a 570.
Get a flashback.
You were playing...
You have this Chargers only thing?
Did you play in that mode?
I played in it for...
for fun.
It was gone and competitive by the time I was around.
But I have played a few events
and a few just fun games on the mode.
You think it would be viable for competitive?
I think it could bring some cool...
There's some cool features that you could do with it.
features that you could do with it like for instance like on chargers only right
explain it to the masses what it is so chargers only is you only get points in
the game for winning t-sided rounds you don't get you don't get a point for
winning a defensive round and what it is instead of doing max rounds 12 or 15
you set a time limit on the half so you say you have 20 minutes like you
know like you get 20 minutes you have many rounds you can get so you can do
all fast paced rounds you can do slower rounds but that's gonna you
know chew up some of the time you can use and then you just kind of see
how many you get switched on it's 20 minutes again and that's from I mean not
from a gameplay perspective but from a broadcast perspective being able to say
this game is definitely 45 minutes long is quite a nice thing but it's
interesting yeah could be a fun like kind of show match I think we had we had a
tournament once back in the day that descended into like just chaos like
they it was like first time running this event it was a huge event and they
didn't know how to set up the network so instead of being able to play like
five games at once they could only play like one game at once because it
was right when Steam came out, so Steam had to connect to the internet, so that was taking
up a ton of bandwidth. So you can only play one game at a time, so they switched the tournament
to Chargers Only and just played the whole thing out, Chargers Only.
That's thinking, that's thinking outside of the box.
Guns! A back! Afro gets his AWP. Now we need to see evidence that the Monteciti side
will not be ripped to shreds by the navi individuals. We've already seen
wonderful shaken off dust too quickly.
I like that disruptive app stuff. Rain Waker does need to find his dust too
footing as well. He had a crazy first map.
Alright, off angle towards alt mid. Nobody's coming up. With any kind of pace, no
one's aggressive at halls. Nothing disruptive there. No one's disruptive in
banana they're both playing all the way back in the B bomb site to play for the
half wall retake so Navi's got some real estate to work with on the opening and
they're happy to take that over towards halls three players bit wonderful in
EMA how long can you hold on to a nades I'll be impressed if as it will
does that's right it's gone as at first of many an app set up they're
going for a quick exit hey yeah this yeah I mean it's what happens when you
this much space it's like okay well we called this and we're not getting any
resistance so we can actually just march up and execute wonderful turning into the
ball site great head shot and afros force back time for a save wonderful is
angry he got that he got that big boy speech from you know winning the second
and third map yeah he was like yeah that doesn't sound fun today actually
Actually, I will kind of buy into that.
Yeah, it sounds like a good way to start your tournament.
You know, once you're familiar with their environment, like their bedrooms,
they're familiar with it, they've already had a whole stage in them.
Yeah.
For now, we're just going to custom to this.
Yeah, they're like, this isn't a boot camp.
Yeah, what is this?
This isn't a hotel.
Now you're doing a whole childhood in them.
Yeah, you don't have like, blade kind of, you know, staring at you.
I know.
Every time you turn around.
My god, pop of blade isn't here, I can make mistakes.
That's what you think.
Still, my army makes two roster changes.
Alright.
So, I guess that is the philosophy as you highlighted, Jason.
If they give all this space, we just have to be able to immediately enact a take and punish this.
If you're a Lexi and you call a Hall's Pop or set up for a default to a Hall's Pop,
and then they're going at Halls like nobody's home, you're like,
okay, keep going, nobody's home, okay, keep going, just throw the utility.
Right.
I see.
And without any spot, like the scaling and the timing of that's why it feels like that's happening so fast
It's because it's clearly unexpected since Monty's not actually playing on the map. They're back in the bomb sites
Sorry, I'm just enjoying this music actually it's good. It's getting me going
What's the mean on T-Round?
You don't always have to speak, sit back and observe.
Just enjoy it.
Just exist, just be there.
Sounds of nature.
Be mindful.
Feels like the first gun round where Navi is putting some emphasis on B and they're
just gonna go for it.
I recall again. Couldn't be better.
Oh, broken smoke. Nobody's got eyes on it. Good from Gizmy, nothing more.
Bombsite's lost. B-bombsite notoriously difficult to retake.
I don't even... it doesn't look like they're even posturing to consider this retake.
Yeah, good conditioning from Navi, right? A lot of these early rounds.
Pistol, force by gun round. It's been towards the A-bombsite Monty.
goes for the adjustments to play 4 on A, that's when Navi hits them with the fast B contact.
I mean, I don't even think they necessarily expected just one player to B-B,
I think even if two were there they were sort of ready for it.
So early on, some good calling from Lexi Goodreads.
Feels like maybe like a philosophical change in between maps, like Dust2 is a little bit more spread,
running defaults and getting kind of wrecked by some of the players from Rainwaker.
if that was a conversation on T side of like let's just keep it simple let's not try and
like outsmart this team that we can't really read because they're taking more risks so let's
just stay grouped up and do the executes and at least if that's a swap it seems to be working.
Yeah could be probably also a wake up call with how Dust2 went I mean there's one thing to lose
there's one another to get you know completely chased out of the server.
Yeah and they did and now we're now giving them a taste of their own medicine.
How are the turntables?
When I have a house, I'm gonna have a turntable.
Yeah?
Yeah.
How do I do it?
Is it a cool media?
Right.
You know?
Yeah.
It's coming back.
I think so.
I think...
I don't have a subscription service as much as I own this song.
It's in my house.
I have it forever.
Yeah.
It appeals to me.
Yeah, it's kinda cool.
avoiding the flush out from the flames, but Paul is made out, nice catch from Alexi
for graphing into this A-side, the individual's from Navi now hitting
yeah it's it's too passive, I'm looking for rain waker, he's on site not paired, maybe he's got two of them
could be good if he gets another, he won't
that's round, yeah it's way too passive for what Navi's running at the moment
and I mean they even had, I mean fair play, they even had like a little bit of aggression towards Cubby
towards Rapside with the up angle, gets negated by Molotov, but look at all the
runway knob he just had to march up brackets, walk up lane, Ima's not
spotted till he's peeking towards Svalp, like it's not going well. This is one of
those rare scenarios where I think the double up would be pretty strong. I mean
after in some of these rounds he just wasn't at the right place or even when
he was a couple of rounds earlier and he got a kill on A, that's when from long
you know the brunt of the attack came from short and he still wasn't able
to do all that much, but with how much just contact plays we're seeing from Navi and their
individuals just taking space on their own, I feel like this is where the blob could
punish that.
You can actually do some things.
Alex, are you hungry?
I'm starving.
Do you like to go take your lunch?
I'd love to take my lunch.
Is that cool?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
What are we working on, Tenko?
I didn't really look at what it's called, but...
Butterjunk, chicken and rice.
Really?
I was eating lunch I come back and it looks like it's dust to inverse yeah
it's basically what it's felt like so far all right well I'm about three that
coming up I guess now they just steam rolling how's the new inferno change
has been planned oh haven't seen it have a lot more retake attempts yeah that's
good always unsuccessful though but if I attempted through there yeah we've
I haven't seen it coming to play a whole lot yet.
Alright, let's see if Monty can turn this around then. AWP off for Afro.
That's a good thing about losing, I guess. You get a little bit of money.
Yeah, I think this is the point where Monty need to actually, uh, need to get a little bit aggressive.
Like, push into halls again, be that disruptive force, maybe harass down a little bit.
You gotta give Navi the feeling they can't just move around the map for free.
So they've chosen Banana to have a little bit more resistance.
Zulu falls off the half wall after being boosted up, which is a bit of a bummer.
They're going to come right through this smoke.
Blinded is Mikaze, but still creating space.
The lone Navi member committed.
It didn't discourage him.
Still went forward.
Despite being caught by him flashing out mullied to the head, and he'll get a headshot.
So Mikaze went to the opening, frag, it's Afro, they all put it out on its own, Jason,
completely alone.
Yeah.
I think you can tell Monty not super well versed on inferno in terms of their reactions and responses.
M4 has to fall back, AWPer just gets stuck, not prepared for the fight as the smoke fades.
Navi's happy with the 5 on 4, you imagine they just re-execute the B bomb site, nobody's shifted, nobody's rotated, nobody's moved for information.
Monty is static and frozen on the map.
So, they have to go B. That's what I'm saying.
That's what it's feeling like, maybe even forward.
The problem is there's two players pressuring towards top mid here, so they might even just lose everything.
Yeah, Nabi's already kind of setting up to punish the save and punish any rotations down middle.
So I mean, they're not committing the bomb quite yet, letting these two players clear things out.
Azumu needs a double, can't get the first.
Gizmy's here, but he's gonna want to back off now too.
Yeah, this is the fact you got Emma in bit, no road A.
You get pressure towards the pit and at any point BMS will be under pressure so yeah
It's real rough right now for Monty. Nothing around had nothing really
That's welcome back. That's how much has been going. I was thinking of joining you with the magic store today, Jason. Oh, yeah
Yeah, I think I've been cut the bug. You know, there's not real magic there. He's ruined. Oh, you still believe in Santa Claus and shit
No, no, they ruined that for me yesterday. We did. Oh
Oh, we told him Santa Claus wasn't real. Oh spoilers.
I must allow you five year olds. If you're watching, um, sorry for all the
tooth fairy is real.
Lovely lady.
Yeah, but even if there wasn't real magic, there's certain magic to
play with your friend, Janko.
You see you guys playing Katon last night. How was that?
Great! The town is always a great town.
Yeah, you know the guys are still warming up to it, right? Getting their reps in.
It's like once you don't play it for a while, you need a game or two to remind yourself of how it works.
Mechanics.
Alright, who's gonna ignite Monty? Who's the go-getter on this team?
Afro.
Is it Afro?
Rain Waker is cooled off.
I want it to be Rain Waker.
That would be Rain Waker this round. Oh, there you go.
Oh, there's the start.
Getting his mojo back.
Azubu. And he's lost a lot of his health there.
Well, I like the reposition here from Rain Waker.
He's the threat from both sides of the apartments.
Oh, wow. He's giving that up.
So, look how much slower this forces them to play now too if you're
like one kill and they got to slow things down. They're not just marching into an
execute.
Oh, okay.
That's a problem. That is an issue. That's a big issue.
Ah, Fro just getting destroyed.
Zulu retaking banana, but they're all gone.
There's no one really pressuring B at all.
It's all about the A bomb site finish.
And looking very tough to see a world in which Monty hold onto this,
but Rain Waker, a decent drop down from pick.
Here comes Pit, dropping down and getting rid of him.
And Mikaze had the follow up too.
So, that's locked out the two remaining Monty players,
and Navi will go up to a nine to one lead.
I feel like you gotta test this if you're Monty.
You gotta see if you can get yourself an early kill.
I don't know, that second follow up smoke is quite brutal.
But eight to one at some point you have to go for this even if you're out of disadvantage
Nate's don't get you a kill and they have to back off
Can't go for this one. I feel you but
To we know I mean you can't go for it in the sense that there's no reason to think that you would win it if it's worth nine
One, okay sure at eight one one round nine three you win pistol convert nine six
Get early reset ten eight. Okay, so they're out of saves now now they have to go
yes there are states is means so still right now
second prime minister
it
it's definitely should be praying to something
i did i see that that you guys did with harry gives me a like that
and return to life phase in
that's been said with harry's
was the eerie
cousin that way
people back far enough for all cousins
I'm kind of disturbing.
Me too, I think you're doing good.
What an insane sentence!
It's true.
It's a certain point, right?
We're all kind of related to someone.
What a wild thing to say.
All of our family watching in the Twitch chat.
Let us know how you're doing.
Cousins.
Stuff my cousins.
We're all deco and hunting through the end of the day.
Oh, my cousin, burning!
That's a good bit of his health.
Shout out to the Dune Skits one time.
Now look forward to the new movie.
Looking forward to putting that bald cap back on Jason, really suits you.
Yeah, yeah, it's a fun makeup process, the Dune Skits.
For the person doing the makeup. I really enjoy it.
I really enjoy sloshing around and...
...glue in my eyebrows.
It was so crazy, the conversation about like when you had to get into that bathtub, yeah,
and they're like, what are you going to put in it for the coloring to be black?
Yeah, they wanted to put instant coffee.
I said coffee and it's like, I think he's going to absorb that with standards.
I, I, I will die for this skit if you make me.
What was it in the end food coloring, uh, food coloring.
is like seven bath bombs of different colors and then decaffeinated instant coffee.
What was that?
I am the mud bath stuff. Something.
Sounds lovely. How did you feel?
My skin felt phenomenal. I actually did.
Well, get yourself a bath of that.
A zoo whip?
When you get to the back of the site, I like to see bees taking the opening frags here, but who knows?
That's what we needed.
Little bit of a play forward, leaving a zoo whip in a new box.
Now he's running out of bullets, six left, and he won't be able to do too much for that.
So Iba takes him down, site.
Grabbed, very well repeating the open without his gun, and so now I have her left inside a banana.
Really looking like a chinatone, it's only been together for a month in this town.
It does two look great though.
Yeah, it does two is excellent. It does two they got.
Now he has awakened, that's important to note.
You can just tell early on some good reads,
some good reads, but also the players playing with a ton more confidence, taking space pretty much everywhere,
which in turn obviously makes it easier to call and coordinate things on a team level,
maybe Monty falling into a lull, somewhat. Yeah, and I think also, you know, you're getting just
bash in this map, so I think Ideas and Coms is going to be at an all-time low.
A lot of things, a lot of things going wrong for Monty, we could make a list.
10-1 final round of the first half and Navi looking a look in a breeze through
this to force us on to a third which would be Mirage to decide the sea.
And last time that was the 13-11 affair. So it should be close. What was the first map that they won last time again?
yep cool uh monty monty one does too as the decider okay so we're kind of just
part of an avi one nuke so this time they changed their pick
and it's working pretty well i think it's safe to say yeah it's all it's all going out yeah
pretty well outside of that one happy accident and round number two
Oh, bitch!
Yikes!
Savage!
Welcome to the pros!
Oh, bitch, he's having a good time in the apartments.
I mean, he can play so hard once, playing it smart.
He's got information. His teammates are coming up short,
so now he can commit because they have the location,
they have the trade, and they have the rest of the forces streaming in,
and they have an 11th round!
Ooh.
On his way back over here.
Dude, the archway.
He's got all the utility you could want for this.
I'm pumping them all in, but he's going to give it a go.
And she had to clear the smoke.
Spotted the AWP.
And it's all done here. We'll be in 11-1-1-1 half from Navi.
A grip bounce back on Inferno.
Good wrap up. After getting destroyed on Dust2.
Navi are here to play on the second map and looking to drag us into the third.
It looks like it's going to be a very, very quick second map here.
We'll be back after the break.
Welcome back everybody to ESL Pro League Season 23, 11-1 in the lead.
That's the score, not V over Monty.
Now we switch to the T side for Monty.
They'll give it a go, but it does feel like a pisser on, and we're heading to map 3.
Well, it does, well, I mean, it feels like even if they lose the pisser on, we're headed to map 3.
Sure.
Doesn't seem like there's going to be a lot of fight back here for Monty.
No, don't believe in the map map.
Since this map is pretty much one-sided, how about a B-stream update?
Yeah, that'd be a B-stream update.
We have our first is Astralis which is the fourth time this year that they're playing.
They played in Crack-O, Astralis won, they played in Cluj, Foot won.
They played here in stage one, Foot won that game.
But now in stage two Astralis 1-0 up, was 13-6 on Ancient and they were up 11-1 on
Mirage after the first half
Maybe they won't buy now because an actual TV is four minutes behind okay, well three on actual TV
That's fun. So if you guys go check right now, it may be 13 three. Maybe it's all five. You'll never know. It's time travel
It's awesome. That's how it works
I couldn't believe I see a straws for on the headlines again, I was like there's no way this is a game
It's just funny how it happens sometimes like teams just end up every tournament. Yeah
Stralis-1 13-3, last map, 2-0.
Stralis-1 13-3, there we go.
Oh my god, well, it looks like Navi about to win 13-1,
because Mikazi holding on and leaving Gizmi in banana with a glock.
That was a good thing for round 2 of this game.
I didn't have Navi on the main stream, Navi Academy on the B stream.
It's Navi Jr.
4 out of the 5 players still on the lineup.
Gizmi is chasing the kill.
It's like, give me, give me, give me, I like it!
And, uh, well he's chasing his dad through, like, so map points here for Na'Vi.
Yeah, you know, like those meetings where this could have been an email?
Like, this series could have been a best of one.
Yeah, that would...
Well, that would mean Monty would have won.
No, I mean...
No, I mean, like the first two maps, you know, just...
Ah, I see a best of one on the road.
We're going down, yeah.
Alright.
It's basically a best of one, yeah.
All right, the little forgive me
Nice to see no he get the balance back very worrying sign in that opening that but it warmed up now
All right, that's it. Yeah
Yeah, three.
I'm gonna go with that.
Yeah, this is done.
Well, Mirage up next, ladies and gentlemen.
We've always come here to watch that one.
As Janko was saying, could have been the best of one.
Absolutely should have been.
And it kind of is.
As we now move to Mirage to decide this series,
Navi with a lackluster performance on Dust2,
but bouncing back with some dominance on Inferno.
Rain Waker walking his way.
this way. I've heard Tott Middell with the tech nine. He's finally gone down and Navi
13 to 1 come crashing down on Monty. We settle this series on Mirage.
I would like to say 4.5, Aime.
Pagan is older days, he could definitely be a 5, maybe now he's like a 4.
Pagan on his birthday, he's still a very insane Aime.
3.5, I think he was more impressive than Aime in CSGO.
So basically, impact, I'll put 5.
Maybe now he's like a four.
I got on his birthday, he's still very insane.
Three and a half.
I think he was more impressive than him in CSGO.
So basically, impact, I'll put five.
For impact, I'll say four or five as well.
He always has a lot of impact on all the teams he plays as.
And his playstyle is just impactful.
I feel like in CSGO, he hasn't really lived up to nowhere near his level.
It was in CSGO.
And in CSGO, he was a very, very, very impactful player.
I would say three and a half.
I think he's four now because I think that he's also joining a new team
and he needs to figure out how does he do his things there.
Yeah, I mean, I can imagine I would put him in a five later on,
but right now for me it's a four.
Game sense, very smart player.
I feel like, yeah, four or five for that one.
It's five, for sure.
Well, he has been on the top for a long time,
so he definitely was no thing or two.
Yeah, I think somewhere between three and four.
I would say five. I think he's a very smart player.
I think it also means a lot. When it comes to someone like simple or late, they always value his game sense,
even believe that he could take an ideal role and get those words from them.
It's probably, it means a lot, so I would say that he's very smart player.
Always very vocal and talking a lot, so I assume that he has a lot of knowledge about the game.
Yeah, still I would give a 4, I think that in CS2 I need to see more from him, to be honest.
Mentally he's strong, so I'll put 5.
He's not calm sometimes, so I'll take, I'll put him a 4.
I mean, I've seen him tilt sometimes as well, so not as bad as maybe a symbol, actually.
He can get a 4, 3 or 4.
I mean, he's Russian, so...
But I would say that he's pretty strong mentally wise,
and even if he tails, I think he's easily resetting for the next round.
I would say 4 for mental.
I feel like this is a little tricky as well, because when I remember the old Navi,
they used to scream a lot and maybe hear some swear words as well,
but you don't really know how much it affects the people in the game.
I don't know, I would say like 3.
I'll give him a 5 on setup
I'll give him a clean setup for him
He has season 5 for monitor
Good setup, I'll put 5
I think he's using similar settings to me as well
So let's say 5
This setup looks very calm
It looks really league of legends each to me when I'm watching
So I think somewhere, I think like 4
I like it but I'm not sure if I will be able to play it
Movement, I would say very good as well
4 maybe
Movement, I'll put 5 as well
3
No.
Yeah, like three.
Is that good?
Not crazy good?
It's like, alright, you know.
Oh, he knows how to dance, right?
I don't think that electronic is mechanically that good in terms of strafing and stuff
like that.
I think I'm very similar to his way in a bit.
Like I would also give myself like a three maybe, but he's not up there with like
beat or frozen or a dunk for that matter.
But I think that he's like still solid.
Hey, hey, what's up?
Pickade, pickade.
Nice!
Come on!
Nice!
What's fucking going on?
Flash!
Flash him!
Flash him!
Flash, guys.
Flash!
Flash him again!
One!
One!
Okay, I'm taking right now.
One guy sitting!
One guy sitting inside, guys!
Okay, okay.
Pillar!
Pillar in kindness, guys!
Pillar!
Pillar in kindness!
I'm taking triple!
I'm taking triple!
Triple!
Triple kill!
I'm killing triple.
I'm killing triple.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
I'm dead.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
I'm dead, I'm dead.
Good morning everybody.
You're right.
TSL Pro League still going strong.
So are we on this train.
We only have about, I think, three to four more hours left
and then we'll be able to get off at Hamburg,
but overall, very cool experience.
And well, I guess the show just needs to keep on going,
doesn't it?
And then we have arrived at the beautiful city of Hamburg.
As graceful as ever, of course,
it's almost all fallen parts.
good train journey though I would highly recommend but we got so much going on
today and so do mouths in fact they're jumping in the server and we're gonna be
going to them at their boot camps at least here so if my camera guy would get
his life together we could then let's go
Where at?
Denver.
Oh, like Colorado.
And you've never been there, are you excited?
Just in the north, in Chicago, or in California.
Look, where are we right now, exactly?
We're in Hamburg-Harburg.
I think an interesting train station.
You know that one to get lost there.
Yeah, you know, I don't want to say that perhaps we got off on the wrong one,
but I think we're in the right place.
I mean, we're looking for a team called Malz.
They play a game called Counter-Strike.
Have you ever heard of Counter-Strike?
Not really. I know the name, but perhaps I'm too old for that.
I'm told for that.
What do you think you know the name from, if you had to guess?
The internet and from kids from my godchild.
So them youngsters are playing the wine.
Look, so for them playing the video game in this Counter-Triker or any video game, how
do you see it?
Having been from a generation that has never had video games like that.
No offense.
I'm the generation from Commodore 64 and I did not play with the games.
I copied them illegally and I had twice the police in my house.
My mom was not so happy on that.
I was, we sold the stuff, one mark for one game or something like that on tape or this.
And it was obvious that this was not fully legal.
Yeah.
It was done by hundreds and thousands of people in computer newspapers.
And then the policeman was not so knowledge in this area.
So, I guess I'll just redirect a little bit here too, because they came to you because you borrowed some video games.
Maybe illegally.
Why aren't they sending the police to the people's houses that are cheating in the video games online?
You know what I mean? Like, if you're cheating in a video game online, where are the police for that?
I don't like that, but I'm not familiar with that stuff.
I totally, yeah, I think you should always be behaving nice.
So yeah, it's not a joke.
No, I agree.
I try always to never lie.
No precepts.
I do not tell you anything, but I try to prevent lying.
Definitely.
Well, it's cool that you could share with us today
the story of fighting off the police of the software world.
Different times, times are changing.
Is there anything you want to say in German, perhaps, to the younger generation that plays video games?
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.
Board of endless matchmaking, take your first steps towards EPL.

Learn more at fce.gg.com.
I think it was the right side. Yeah, I was alive here. I looked at the right. I'm looking
I think that right is a C1, 2, 3, 4, to the sound.
Good.
That's...
Good justices.
Yeah, felt very good.
Is this a section? No, no.
I remember.
Grubs?
Second?
And two, I'm sure.
Thanks, that you won the sound.
Just one head away.
What's this for the lucky?
No, I thought I'm gonna die, but I just killed him.
Oh, I remember this. It's me.
Is this the match?
Yes.
Sit.
No.
You're not even looking.
Yeah, it was funny. After this round, I had a lot of money.
You had a lot of money?
To be honest, I remember I had not a lot of bullets in my...
I remember, if I remember correctly, I switched to USB and I didn't have a lot of bullets.
And I was kind of praying that I will not.
I saw it like two days ago.
I think I remember the travel.
Nice shots.
That was good.
The first event after break.
Yeah, it's kinda good, but...
Visual kills for the other one.
Yeah, nice and special.
He's doing it every day.
He's doing it every day, every month.
Nice.
In control.
I could do ace here, but Alex is tall.
Alex is a help.
Nice, good job.
Look, what's he's done.
He did very good. He crouched, then planted.
Thanks a lot, man.
You should be good for that.
Thanks, man.
It was a physical fight, because I knew that it was slow and easy.
It was not hard.
I knew that it was a close fight.
Very good, it was an important moment.
It was nice.
and we're back for the third, Mirage, let's hope it's competitive.
Let's hope this one actually has some kind of strike on it.
Bianco called us a best of one, it feels like that Alex, but here we are on Mirage.
Yeah, I mean I kind of went for lunch and the map was over, so I kind of missed out on what was probably quite exciting.
Right, Jason's called for sure, I think he's just clearing his throat right there.
Yeah, I'm doing something.
Oh yeah, hydrate, hydrate.
Yeah, working on it.
back some morning shift, you know, nice and early, got to work yourself up. And hopefully
Mirage will wake us all up. Navi versus multi, not a series that is delivering at the moment,
but that could change. Well, delivering across, you know, two maps, we had dominance from both
teams. This surely, you know, counter strike mass dictates that when we have two dominant maps,
the third ones are bangers. Team works out that way. Surely, surely. I have also got a
bit of a soft spot for Monty, not only just because you've got, you know, the Izumu and
and gives me some of the world as a fellow Brit, but simultaneously I just think this is, you know,
a team of players such as your Rain Wakers, you know, that didn't necessarily always get the best
shake of the stick the first time around. Afro, another name that you throw into that mix, where
you didn't necessarily, you know, get the best introduction to tier one. So it's good. I'm
always kind of cheering for them to see their kind of redemption arc. The reintroduction has
been great. The re-release in the wild. Yeah. We're having a lovely time.
We're going to have a lovely time with a tea start for Marty.
Going to just be playing back behind CT, ticket box, and plenty of utility here for Marty's pistol.
That's what we need, let's go.
Guys, we're at the same place.
They play hard, but it's this place.
Wow, so a bit not only giving them motivational speech, he's also hitting the headshots to keep them going.
going exactly where they left off from the footpeg previous map
Gets himself three wonderful pics of the pieces
Bitches absolutely destroyed them the idea he went for the jump shot on the planter as well as I
He comes back from that he actually did damage to the other player in front of him that was insane. That's not a plan there after all
Yeah, extra cash would have been nice.
What about Lovely?
Oh, of course it's, you know, with the way how this round started, winning it was always
going to be wishful thinking, it feels like.
So here, just commit to the plan.
Yeah, Harry not happy about that one.
Now we are definitely winning the vibe shift, haven't we?
They've managed to catch some energy.
Oh, here we go come on through palace pop
That's tonight as well. No mercy whatsoever breadmaker off take top petrocies to be taken down and it to zero start for no
Yeah, just well, you know that was my contribution. Yeah, that was the
Someone else pick it up from here. Did your catchphrase Alex start it started
with jason and dinko right when we were all on the same show oh la yeah yeah
haven't actually pulled that out today yeah I mean hasn't been really the game
for it but hopefully Mirage I'm hoping I am not just always good for an Ola
moment I've heard Hugo's catchphrase is
Bazinga yes yeah because it's a bit of a shelter people with him yeah
the thing is his new one whoa okay that was him a yeah that was him a
that's that was a moment to freak that might have been an Ola moment
Because you're right, that would have been our first O-lay of our garage, of the series, you know.
But now it's kind of round over already, so that's...
...sealing a little bit more like map 2 than map 1.
Mm-hmm, absolutely feeling that way.
It's getting that vibe!
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I'm a bit surprised they just couldn't get the kills on the side of Monty.
It seemed like they had a bit of an advantage, perhaps, in that fight, but just couldn't connect.
So, a free stand call for a B-split has to be aborted.
You have to look at this P. Oh, that's lovely.
However, there's a lot of bodies here ready to fight from Navi.
So the first one goes your way, the fourth one goes your way,
but the other one's still yet to be found.
Vimas on his own, gonna step in towards middle.
He's gotta go get the bomb 45 seconds at the clock.
It's not looking good.
No, far from it.
It's like trying to fake the runaway, hoping he can get an overextension on the mid-clear.
It is coming!
Just... a little bit more hesitancy from Navi. They know that the hard work is done.
Someone in our stack would be running at him though.
Yes, 100.
Someone in our group would be chasing him.
And there we go.
That would have been more fun.
Those are the rounds. You know, that's where you gotta yell at your friends, rounds like that.
Yeah.
It's still everyone just sit here and be bored look into a wall take your hands off the mouse and keyboard for a little bit
It's fine. I think that is valid communications for a lot of her
The view is five stacks and ours is wrong. Yeah, just because we're all highly competitive people
We're going to play perfect keyboard. Hey for a second
Oh, yeah, I
Mean when you think about it, it's this is what now 16 to 1 run. Yeah from the start of matter
I'm gonna put on what it feels like to be taken. Yeah, you don't really know what a win feels like
or like 14-0
Yeah, does that sound more dramatic or?
Yeah
Oh yeah, Monty did win the pistol, didn't he?
I won the second round
Oh my god
And then it was all Navi
Oh, maybe they can get a taste of winning here
Plonk!
It made it worse somehow
Gonna plonk!
Yeah
Haha
My special
Haha
Oh, farm it again
Give double kill this time through the smoke
Para headshots
Bomb plant temperature though? That's something.
Yeah, well the bomb holder wanted to get the M4 that unbid and decided against it to plant the bomb, so he made a good decision.
Changed his mind halfway through, made the right call, made the team play.
And Azuru is most definitely going to go down. Wonderful finds that. 4-0 for Navi. Looking to speedrun these last two maps.
Maybe a bit of a timeout would be in order here for Monty.
I mean, 4-0 isn't the end of the world, but, you know, it's 16-0 now.
It's been a long time since we even won a round against Navi, maybe just to sort of
give a bit of a pep talk, get your boys to get some of their energy up, right?
Tell a good joke, break the whale joke, for example.
Yeah, a whale joke would go...
It would do wonders right now.
Here, absolutely.
Yeah, it would kill it.
All right, over to the B bomb site it looks like from Monty.
Default spread at the moment.
Two in mid, no one looking for any kind of A aggression, which is a little bit unfortunate
because Bitten Wonderful are pushing up.
The question is, how far do they want to go?
It does feel like eventually this is just going to fall into a B split.
Two mid, three in halls.
And it's got the right on the wall for it.
I forgot one or two smokes, you won't be able to kind of fully sell this mid occupation without some help from...
Oh, Azu is coming through lower.
Alright.
So he's going to try and smoke top con and window and you've got mid info, or you have no mid info anymore.
That's what those smokes are forced out in RV, reaction of a block smoke B.
Going in, gonna come in towards Alexi, Makase, able to provide support, finds the first now can chip in, Alexi down after one.
Ooh, big finds.
Oh, they might think had a sense that an AWP was holding the angle, was trying to wait as long as possible.
Miss shot from Afro, peeking in.
The HP on the M4 though, so it doesn't want to take the step into the bomb site.
I think now if you're wonderful and fit you might be thinking about
Escaping to the other side of the map with these weapons in hand
Unnecessary from wonderful. Yeah, and just concede that around that point or four zero up
I mean the money isn't incredible. These are the sort of place where you're like
You know
How are you still going for this like how do you not see the the situation in this round?
Okay, I get it. It's frustrating that the guy tagged you while you had your molly out and blah blah blah and
Sure, you know, they have money to buy heaven off someone will drop it to him
But it's not just about this next one. Why if you lose that one too?
Yeah, the long-term economy is
Could turn into an issue especially the aim is gonna drop the 8wp over
So you're spending a lot of your cash right now if you're not be that off
Being safe could have been a huge huge benefit. He was the killer. He looked around down
No, I'll be.
And that's because his reaction to not killing him.
Yeah, and also Afro posted upright cutting off that first rotation from Mima.
It's always hard, like being that guy you kind of know that Anop is probably holding you
and you're just hoping he misses, you know, he can hold one angle or the other,
you want to jump, you want to go over, you want to jiggle peek him.
Like there's no great way to deal with it.
Yeah, I think you should have a smoke, maybe you can pop it and go through it.
Defense is also interesting like the decision that Mikaze has to make there
Like do you do step on a cat and fight in mid to take out that prong of the attack and then fall back to try and help?
Alexi or do you prioritize helping Alexi and you kind of turn and take the risk that you're gonna get backstab from short for a
Moment right he obviously went for the former took out the cat player
But couldn't protect Alexi from getting from getting taken down
I think sometimes it's a team thing right yeah saying oh we want to fight for me
We want to clear me right then Alexi knows he's on his own and needs to play accordingly
Yep, has to be in those smoke
Macaulay nearly had a really good angle on to the
But I mean you still you still win in a way if you're Macaulay, right?
You've done damage the oper is gonna have to be passing now with 36 HP probably won't seem taken too many peaks into anything
However, it gives me he takes a step forward ill advised. Yeah, but no window smoke. He's just tested
I don't think they ever saw that it missed
right because Mikaze forced the boost back but it was the long time has passed
even if it was there it was close to fading yeah I think they broke the base
of catwalk smoke on him here comes the cavalry maybe a bit too late let's see
whoa gonna go for anyway little sweep it's gonna get a chance as well he'll
barely waterfall drop in a zoo with flooding out of the windows the mass
Yes, it has taken down Mikaze short, it's been more pressure all wonderful, but he has no problem.
Another frag picked up, let's see if the AWP can get one more.
Rotation's starting to arrive here for Navi as well. I like to be chiming in, he might help him short.
And Navi back to what he weighs.
Yeah, another nice little smackdown. Just this time very well read by Wonderful.
Gets the pick in middle on Gizmy. Maybe we'll see what, how exactly that came to play.
Rotation over to the B bomb site, nice and easy.
You're on the front of the van? Stepping through? Monti got no answers.
I think you're seeing the life for T-Side when they can't establish mid-control, right?
They're not going for a straight up execute, so it doesn't really matter in the round,
but you see how easy it is for Navi to rotate.
They have mid-control, they're not worried about any lurkers, they have all the map to themselves.
Going for an execute this round.
Yeah, perfect start as well with Wanda.
They were posted on Ramp!
Okay, walking through the palace, well yeah, Ramp takes contact first but it will dip back.
Nice arrival from a zoom and does fall across.
Some attention from Mikaze on the short side.
Access to the bomb site, granted. Bomb's not across though.
Oh man, down through the smoke, Mikaze has taken Rain Waker and a 3v3.
This is the push. Oh, 2ct, Alex, if he had the chance.
chance, sends the Nade in around the corner and B-Mass losing a little bit more health.
Really important mods, you don't let this one slide.
Yeah, B-Mass is surely a safe bearer hand for this.
Good flash, it's just wild to help him out, goes into the peek, he likes to be taken
down, then he goes into the open, he does die to the AWP of Mikaze.
You got two smokes on Ema and Mikaze, they've both got kits as well.
This one's very winnable.
Smoking the bomb.
They're doubling up on Tetris.
Oh, God, they had to hit that headshot. Now very uncomfortable for McCarthy.
Four kills in the round, but not a round to show for it.
Kizmy closes it down.
Monty, I mean, you said it was necessary. That is going to at least keep this competitive.
Na'Vi was on the back foot in every fight, in every situation in that round,
from the point where Wonderful just takes a scope off of a ramp just at the worst moment possible.
The timing of everything from there is like a half-second off for Na'Vi with every single fight.
I'm actually kind of surprised they made it this close into a 2-1-2, a doable retake scenario, because Monty just kind of had him beat.
And because he's getting that kill is insane.
Default. Default. Can you flash for me, CT?
Alright, intense calm still. Up five to two, so clearly, Navi's not feeling it as easy as it looks like from our perspective.
Back to the A bomb site, rinse and repeat for Monty. They found something that worked here in Mirage. They want to hit it again.
I can't say. Coming on in with a point to prove an important find back. Emus has really
been a bit of a difference maker for Monty on these T-Sides.
The Zulu round the back is insane. Look at this. Straight through, off the back, it
will be bit.
Yeah, retake anymore.
Yeah, and this is where you're talking about that situation, anchor earlier, where you
threw the AWP. Not a lot of money left here, so you have to consider that retake.
And a Zulu's flank is being so impactful. Wonderful has got the kill on Afro, leaving
Gizmy in a zoo a 2v2 you've got the position of a zoo you will you know where he is
But I'm not getting what it gives me inside of the site
He's done very want to get his pick and it's the time that is the problem as you will arrives well around from him
Flanky to the people offside didn't continue to push through the market either
He changed his position came back through short was able to get further impact
It was the galil long range spray that I'm most impressed by yeah commits to that that is a
It's not an easy one. It's looking haggard there for a second wasn't it? Yeah
They managed to make him connect as a brutal backstab and just having the chaos of the players
don't know if they're supposed to turn around and deal with that or keep moving forward.
They keep stepping into the retake.
It was a really aggressive lurk but a smart one considering the call Navi was likely to
over-rotate.
And the problem with these last two rounds is Navi, we talked about mid and how important
it is.
Navi was thinking, okay, Monti's going to try to put more emphasis on mid.
So they're playing for mid, both of these rounds.
opening setups right you could see bit is towards stairs he isn't even you know
playing from the bomb site that much and I think that's always like tricky you
know you want to play the right way if you're Navi but you're sort of giving
them you know having mid does not win you the round but having the A bomb site
then the couple of entries can be enough to win you the round so perhaps
Perhaps, would have been better off if they just played a bit more default and more for the sides, take away that for the side of Monty.
I'd imagine we'll see Bit parking that bombsite a little bit more now.
Once they've won a round there today, they've done it back to back, executes at the A bombsite.
I think that's gotta be Navi saying we have to have someone here.
Yeah, even though just because you're playing default doesn't mean you're keeping them in, right?
Like you're just not fighting for it with all your players.
has something here on the E-fold.
Well, timing was not there for wonderful.
Didn't expect Gizmy to be the first player to play.
And now these Deagles really have something special
they have to do.
There's something.
Ema trims him down and Gizmy's very low.
This is the age of Mikaze,
hunted down in Palace early in the round.
If you come back to Bytem and be very useful,
Ema's Deagle big coming in as well.
Azul, having a fight for this,
is taking on Mikaze and just about clutching up
a zoo keep him on to go it
down came down to this well thirteen seconds of the clock when he gets that
kill built bit wanted to take the fight trying to catch him in transition
punished
i didn't look like it but we got a game on our hands now three in a row for
monti
i mean compulsory conversion but uh...
without not be sure just how dangerous they can be with just the giggles
love this was a stanzas ground anticipates bits for a move so i don't
love this from bit yeah I mean that's easy to correct inside 13 seconds left I
mean he has to get to the bomb planted away from you right like would have been
better off perhaps if he was a bit more patient but I've actually opened up you
know a zoom for misplays as well when you've got that much time pressure you
were ready in the 1v1 you put you put the decision-making in the same good
luck what are you gonna make your call yeah you've got about seven seconds
no matter what decision he makes he's at a disadvantage he could choice and
And all of a sudden it's 5-4 where it felt like Navi was going to stroll into another 13-1 win.
And now I think it's easy for Navi to think, okay, they did two side hits.
Now they're going to switch it up and play a bit more default.
So let's go for the mid-fight again, but you don't have to.
You know, as I was starting to say, when you play default on the CT side,
doesn't mean you're just giving them everything.
You're just not committing all your resources or the majority of them into this one read
You know, maybe wonderful can get a pick with the AWP. Maybe he gets a fast boost into ladder room
Get that entry kill we see all the time. Maybe a smoke break. That's your kill
Maybe a flash play somewhere, right? Or you're also accruing information as you go and you're saying oh
They are fighting for mid-round and the mid-round you can make the call to
Reaggress mid you can push the extremities. There's a lot of options for you
well I mean a lot of options that you just laid out and a lot of options in such an
important round with those kills in the previous Monty their monies at the tail end
as well everyone's poor nobody can afford to buy in the next round for Monty same
with Navi so winner of this pretty big swing round of who's gonna take the
advantage into the second half wonderful just throw the wrong Nate that's
what I'm wondering was it deliberate like I can't I don't know if we're gonna
I thought it would be the way you can just sit in the smoke.
I suppose you can't line up your smokes while you're behind it.
BX, take 4 elixir to deal with.
He has got the support of Mikaze.
Let's see if he can pass this test and look in good with Mikaze's health.
They both get one.
He may as well have to sweep him up under the rug.
Mikaze's still alive and kicking.
Ooh, hang on.
Rain Waker's hit a banger.
Mikaze's turned side of the smoke.
Gizby!
On the turn, Mikaze didn't stand a chance.
Now big close by right full to the chest not enough damage to drop just me
Who's the hero in this round one HP left on gizmy I'm baffled. I feel I feel 1v3
He's a little bit sneaky they don't realize this yet. There's one
He's got it as well hold down to afro up in the apartment's
Wonderful could extend the lead here for naffi with their 1v1 now
Now he spots out his next target, knows where Afro's playing from, it's about discipline.
Afro just jumps down, jumps out of the apartments.
Wonderful, he wasn't burning.
Time is taking, wonderful does not have a kid on his back.
He goes to the pistol up close against Afro on the other side and every people has got that tail.
Wonderful couldn't finish his meal.
And somehow, someway, Monty's still in this round.
Oh look at the faces, look at the non-faces.
Oh, dude, wonderful so mad.
Oh, how many US people is the jump the wiggle the jiggle.
It's so beautifully this lovely read on the default
plant spot spam.
That's where his bullets went.
Yeah.
You know, by the way, God's here from Afro to ignore
the Molotov and run the van instead of flushing out.
Oh, it's us.
Let's go.
Well, this is how it happens.
They were stuck in the B apartment. How did they get out of that one, Monty?
It was me.
Gives me more of that.
75 still available for Monty after was a dream run out of an RV.
Was it 5-1? Four consecutive now for Monty?
So this round, like none of them have been comfortable.
Now you even have a zoo have the clutch once and then you have that room where flanking saves the round
Gives me in this probably something crazy after with the clutch
It's been individual stepping up from Monty
Just about keeping themselves in it and yeah now with a chance to take the lead of the game
Should be taking it as well
Look at what now if you have oh
You might be hearing the dulcet tones of Freya Spears coming through on the microphones from a distance
the ambient noise of an interview or a segment being recorded.
The behind the scenes.
A peak behind the curtain.
Yeah, I thought about three next spirit.
Coming up next.
Well, that's a beat.
Uh, while he couldn't deal with the Mac 10,
it's just right around the corner of the zoo.
Deals with that threat.
And that is the people off-site.
On the round.
Well, don't call it just yet, Dingo.
I think this is one of the li- yeah,
they're not moving off of any side.
But I mean, Jason's riding like optimism, you know?
That's fine, no, just for you, Nick.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Is it the color of commentary for four, I suppose, Jason?
Yeah.
I have to wait till you say it.
Here we go.
Zulu is thirsty.
He's hungry.
He's everything.
He's dead.
You can have a mac 10.
You can have a mac 10.
Yeah, that's a gift.
That's fine.
I don't call it yet, though.
I'd keep the mac 10 next round.
Disruptive might be something cool for Navi if they can do that.
We saw him, like McCausley had that aggressive peek up on the cat jump earlier, up on the
railing to take down the AWPer that he missed that kill, but like you have some things in
your playbook.
I wonder if you see Navi get a little bit frisky now that money's back in their hands.
Wonderful can have the AWP buys it up quick as you like.
Five to six, wild that Navi is in the deficit at the moment with how this half began.
And I'll take Monty coming storming back five of the last six in their favor
Reminder of what it's like to win some rounds for Monty. They start pulling it back. Let's see if they can leave with a lead
Because a good movement
They've actually crossed out towards topic straight through the smoke as it runs to his dad's and a second kill because he spares behind the smoke
Jason was right.
It's eruptive if I've ever seen it.
Let's get it trending.
Jason was right.
He wants to do this fast B split a couple of times.
Both times the Cat players couldn't get anywhere close to like the ladder room, let alone the B bomb site.
Didn't work out quite as well this time around, but hey, 6-6 after being down 5-1, they'll take it.
One more half coming right up after this.
Don't touch that dial.
I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it
I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it
Feeling so funny on camera
Yeah bop yeah bop
Yeah bop yeah bop
Yeah bop yeah bop
Drop the party rock the party rock
I have ramp on me, I have ramp on me.
One stairs, kill him. I want to check him now.
Ticket, Ticket and Ticket.
I will kill them, I will kill them.
One crossed.
On site.
Default plant, default plant.
Left, left. Nice.
I have ult.
It wasn't a strong star for Monty, but a strong finish. It's 6-6 at the half, and it does look like our predictions are true.
We thought perhaps after two stomps both teams kind of dominant, taking us into the third. We might have a close game,
and it certainly is a whole lot closer than either of those first two maps.
We've got Moses, we've got YNK, and we've got Dinka.
So kids, like full focus and energy on the beast. Full focus and energy on the anti-force.
Yes.
And first of all, don't come down.
If something happens, don't come down. Like, skip focus.
And what is more important on Mortal Kombat, please, speak to each other so we don't die one by one.
Okay, that's what it's called, Mortal Kombat. That's kind of fucking awesome.
That's pretty fun.
I'm here for it.
Bring me Scorpion, bring me Sub-Zero, Kano, Liu Kang.
And fight!
I love looking at him, it's great.
Alright, moving into the site, they've always taken everything here.
No, I'll be putting pressure on Rainwaker all the way back in CT.
He's gonna have to keep backtracking, but the further he pulls them, the more traps they're laying for.
The Monty have players inside of spawn, but will it matter?
Rainwaker looking sharp on the pistol.
Okay, he's coming in with three, he's got Gizmy to back him up.
All of a sudden, it's BitTasble taking it 1v4.
Oh, what a bad shot, Bit.
That is a little bit BS as the smoke goes down for the deep use. He's trying to get there in time.
But the deep use is stolen and there'll be more to winning the pay stall.
I can't believe we can't just give it to him.
That was nearly clutch of pro league.
I think he hates Monty. That would have been clutch of the year.
Dude, that would be so worth it.
Come on. It's online.
But the candy and clutch was also online. It was everything was online back then.
That's the difference.
Dude, I'm shot on the stairs and he switches to the USP when I saw the USP in his hands
I mean we saw what he did in the first year this shot on the track
Bloody insane and the fact he's like not far off on the adjustment. There's last two bullets just go over his head
Oh
That would have been so sick
Tactic Mortal Kombat is there's only one philosophy for more combat. It's it's fight yeah fight to the death and fight
They did Monty take pistol that have been the fatality though. Yeah a test of their might
I'm kind of mad that I never named the round Mortal Kombat.
I know, it's right there for the take-in too, it's like, let's do Mortal Kombat, everyone's
like, yeah, let's do it.
And it's good to have it at playstalls as well, because everybody hyped to start off
a second half.
Mortal Kombat is everybody's favorite strategy.
It wanted a Molotov so badly, he's not got a helmet for it.
Is that real?
Or did someone drop it for him?
I can't do maths.
But either way, no helmet for him, up against all the M4s.
We'll see if that costs him.
Mid-util, A-split.
Just tells you how important that Molotov is for whatever they want on him.
That's right, yeah.
This one's called Street Fighter.
Dead or Alive.
Let's see if it's Street Fighter or if it's Mario Party.
We're gonna find out.
Smash Bros, let's go.
I mean, they got everything they want.
They have the exact split.
They haven't had any resistance.
There goes the mollies.
Behind triple.
They're very important, I suppose.
No.
What do we say?
Alright, someone's playing now, but not the case.
We'll make the way if it doesn't break the carry.
He's still taking one, and then Rainwaker, another multi-kill, this time on one HP.
That's the good kind of baiting that Rainwaker just did.
There we go, bit.
One more.
Can't get out in time.
Neither can the attempted bomb planter.
Wonderful falls as well.
No bonus money.
Two-round lead now for Monty.
I was lucky really hating this setup for Monty, but the bait did all the work for them in this round.
them in this round. You can see the frustration on Alexi's face. I think he doesn't quite believe
the setup. Where are they? What is this? They're just leaving us everything.
We've only tripled. No one was there.
I think also, I mean, touch on what Blade said coming into its focus for the pistol, the
anti-eco energy is up. I have to imagine as that first half went on, those frustrations
kind of overcame some of the comms and some of the players being locked in and Blade
it starts really feeling this team falling apart.
Issues that Navi have had in the past,
so it feels like maybe there are mentalities
on a knife's edge.
There are a lot of frustrating rounds.
I mean, the first two that they lose on the A bomb side,
you're just out of position based off of your opening,
really in a way, so not easy rounds to come back into,
and then you have the 5E3 on the B bomb side
that ends up in the wonderful lap for 1v1.
I mean, those are all just...
Also, this isn't meant as any kind of disrespect to Malti,
but if you're Navi, you're thinking coming into this,
like, I know they beat you last time,
but there's that pride angle to it,
but you're also thinking these guys suck,
and we thought they sucked last time they beat us,
and now it's happening again,
and it's kind of embarrassing that we lost to them.
You know, they've only been a team for a month,
they have no business being in the same server,
and here we are.
So where the rounds have been going as well?
Navi coming close to winning so many of them,
but Malty just bringing it over the line.
And now having to go down to pistols.
They've lost the opening player. And now having to go in for the A finish.
Stairs remollied, smoke for the cross.
And they'll make their way through the back of triple. Cause he taked it down, wonderful answer shot.
Well, it's all good and claps upon now.
Should try to get in, but in the open. Man, Monsonny shuts it down before anything can get too dangerous.
Then nine to six.
Now eight of the last nine rounds in the favor of Monty.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Been a little bit of a streak.
The guns are gonna come out.
Does it end now?
Yeah, it's just this, for Navi's last couple of rounds,
you've gotten into A and then it's all collapsed
in one fell swoop.
Maybe try somewhere else.
All right, one more time.
You want more?
They got the guns now, right?
I think Navi, I have to imagine if you're playing
with Blade, you're gonna be doing a default
in this first gun round.
You want to take some mid control, you want to establish some presence there.
Make your fortifications known.
You know why Monty's winning?
Why is Monty winning?
Because Afro is a man of culture, man.
You don't have to chug soda straight out of the bottle.
He pours it into a glass, takes a sip or two every time, you know.
That's why he's so ice cold in the server.
That's why he got the clutch.
Yeah, but that clutch, you know.
Another man of culture, Emma, with an extra glass of water.
I think BIT is having some sparkling water as well.
That's variation.
It's uh...
St. Pelgrinium.
Medium or heavy sparkles?
It looks like heavy.
There's your problem.
That's the name of your first album.
Heavy Sparkles by Jason O'Toole.
You could pull that off, Jason.
I think I could too.
Glamrock album.
Oh, absolutely.
We'll meet Westy in a minute.
David Bowie in sort of makeup going on.
Yeah, at 80s perm?
Yes.
Aggressive also from Afro and jiggled out nicely so they'll get away with that because he lives on
In on the war path though. He is gonna be trying to walk on in towards towards connector. It's a responsibility of a zoo
Crossfire with
Pre all right, well they have the mid control they've shown that they can they have the they have their presence established
Monty, no they have mid as well.
So he's gonna chill for the moment.
Bomb is being picked up now.
Wonderful's gonna bring that all the way around.
Ooh, no he's coming.
He's coming back towards the middle.
So four mid and bit and pallets.
You can go anywhere on this.
Yeah, there's no commitment here.
It feels like Beamus is kind of all in here.
They jump up on Ben, he's just back in his aim for the quick flick to the head.
Oh, it reveals his position.
Still as he would profit from the back turn.
Still removing it in there, but important from Alexi, keeps Navi's advantage.
Pressure onto Rainway, cat throws out his smoke that reveals his sandwich position.
He's surely not going to give in to get away from this one.
He does roll up quite nicely.
Oh, he's done well.
He's put a lot of time, got back to safety.
He can buy even more time and pull distraction.
His teammate's going down though, Afro.
I had to chime in, it does.
Ten seconds, you're right, that's a massive problem here.
Navi having to go for the bomb plant.
Wind waker close to deny that bomb plant.
That would have been ridiculous if he got away with that.
Super important from Alexi B that he provides that cover there.
Just spams away through the smoke.
Not looking easy for Afro, quite the opposite.
I mean, he kind of wasn't considered saving,
but he knows at this point he's being wrapped around.
So there's going to be someone at the murder hole
trying to prevent him from saving.
So again, no great options likely just run back to CT spot if you can the flick up doesn't land
Didn't want to be chased didn't want to be hunted loses the off all the same in its 9 to 7
Finally, Navi gets back to it
Yeah, I mean pretty close to not like that would be not my opinion game
Actually, it's a really cool round to just watch like Navi's scaling and protocol right like Macaulay boost it up
Once they see someone at boards like at the bottom of the stairs Macaulay and the con player both pick up the pace
so both of them are going to take that fight into 2-1-1.
It's really cool to see those reactions obviously well-drilled as we know with the blade team.
Do you want up?
Yes.
Time out called from Monty.
It's also a bit unfortunate for Rainwaker that he runs out of bullets.
Like if he has enough bullets for just the full spray, he might just have enough
to deny the plant.
True.
Yeah, but he also stopped his spray.
He was connecting to Wonderful when he spanned Sandwich.
Had he continued to spray, he would have actually found a nice freebie, obviously
not to know, unconfirmed. Finds it now as he goes to spawn, perhaps.
Tough, because there's been a lot of damage over the last two rounds as well for Monty.
You lose one round, B-master stright down to a 5-7.
Got a glass cannon here for Afro. Lose this, money's gone, some of you likely
tie things up.
You can see the gamble already in the opening, you know, 4A, Afro on his own towards the B bomb site.
I like this, they need to take some sort of a risk, because they don't have everything, even the M4s don't have all Nades, they don't have a kit.
And also with this lead, you can start thinking a bit more long term, if you guess wrong, if your gamble wrong, save, start coming into play.
Wonderful, maybe he sniffs it out.
There's an AWP on B.
Was there no early utile? Like no incendiary or anything?
Probably probably not. I don't have the utility for it.
I imagine that's the risk they would have chosen to take early.
So the orb started B and now a little bit of a...
It's just plain more centralized, right? You're still watching B.
It's like, I can't go said though, if they do a full executive B bomb site after, it just runs away and they save
and they got another buy in the next round.
Here, good pick from Wonderful.
Rain Waker walking into the open now with a conversion towards the window.
The floodgates have opened.
And Navi come flooding into the A bomb site.
Afro, get a pick off Mikazi. Remember has no Kevlar.
He misses the short player, they don't expect him and he finds the kill.
It's a 2v2 now.
This gets really weird. This gets really weird.
Miss smoke though.
Ooh, that's... okay.
Trossing the smokes.
Trosser, here he comes!
Oh no!
Yeah, very doable here for Afro.
AWP, no kit, no utility, no Kevlar.
There was a backs away into the smoke shadow
What's this? It's a really strong
He's right through it. Oh what the hell is that? That's a man who drinks water from a glass
Afro yikes
I made that perfect play and in the afro wonderful one be one after that two pretty cheeky ones now
Yeah, that's right. The running out of the ammo from running out of the ammo on the B side and now this one with a wall bang
read just calculating calculating hatch something
I think you just said take a shot. What's the risk in it?
Bruh
I'm all to your testing with this
Afro backpan seriously?
Well, no.
They're not out of the woods just yet.
That was a great round, obviously, to win,
but their money is still tapped out.
For Navi, it's not much better.
So Navi really needs to win this round
if they're going to stay alive in the series.
Oh, I'm excited for the Twitch chat
to see that in three and a half minutes.
Yeah, it's going to be really good.
It's going to be a great reaction.
Yeah.
Lot of ooze.
Lot of ooze.
Lot of...
Couple of pogs.
Lot of pogs.
Lot of vacs.
Lot of vacs.
Oh, we don't pog anymore.
Did they get rid of pogs?
I don't know, did they?
I think they got rid of the guy's face.
The emoticons, it's just the words.
It's just the words.
You can still use the words.
Stuff.
Who is in these days?
That's true.
Doesn't excuse a force, but yeah.
Is it on DECO?
Yep.
Save.
Really well done?
Good lad.
Not so bogg.
Not so boggles, no.
is the same opening from one T for a with that for a solo be with the op
the after the safe pair of hands to trust him feels like it at the moment
something like a similar
round from navi
this time around bit is in apps they still have a heavy mid presence
mccasin will go
window one more time
all the kids we know you like to use me made
Who wins this?
Through the wakening.
No, I said...
Oh my God, because he got two.
Yes, you love it, the jungle player.
They like it, clips one another.
Then because he goes ahead,
it gets his dirt kill of the round
and this all crumbles.
I'm on to get a crucial point in the game
because their money is now gone.
Like they needed something back
to get some smiles on the face.
That's the game helping them out.
I'm a bit surprised that they're so unaware
about this window player.
Like, Nabi does it all the time.
Granted, most of the time it's in there, but...
all this in this line up
they put them because it's it's the second time the car
no way
it's gonna see anything it gets to
perfectly
you're right about the morale boost
i'll be with destiny with this game
after that clutch they needed something
they needed a spark
oof
okay monty
i mean you're not looking great to pick this one up gives me already had his
head in his hands and now he's alone on the beach side getting unwrapped on
macarze's taking your head off
And the cars is on the break time dude
Well, I think he said a good job of making these rounds a little bit uncomfortable for Navi
But this one doesn't seem like it's gonna have that same punch to it good flies early on from Navi
My crown is uh is on the cards
Within one. Maybe that last round was the moral combat round
Fight
My cousin was definitely focused. Yeah, they need more of combat movies though
new new is no new one coming out there's a new one coming out with what's his name
from Lord of the Rings I build that bag is no not him a amer what's his name
he was also judged dreaded new dreaded our Lord but yeah that's yes well done
so he is going to be Luke Cage I think okay hi like the new one before that was
about Sub-Zero in Scorpion that was okay I mean it's not any kind of cinema
that's gonna blow your mind it was entertaining but it is good thing to
up on the title you're going to see a Mortal Kombat movie yeah I know what you're
gonna get I want to see that in Poland and the start was in Japanese or and so
the subtitles were Polish I had no idea okay so you had no but it was
visually very beautiful yeah oh the Afro clutch has hit the twitch chat
after clutch has back back back back back easy check PC out of single
Not a single pocket.
It's actually dead. It's cooked.
Oh, there's one.
We got one.
That's a boomerang.
We didn't get the memo.
One of us.
Are they going to boost window again?
Against the pistol?
Probably not actually.
I think that's not going to be the game plan.
Because it's going to be housekeeping the be-aggress.
The whole plan revolves around this single flashbang.
Which he's not no longer decided he wants to throw.
He threw the nade in the last round so maybe he's just got bad luck.
Yeah, your turn is over.
Yeah, someone else do it.
Does he jump out?
Yes.
Yeah?
Send him.
Send it.
No.
He missed.
Yeah, here we go.
Just sending down to his death.
We're going to get one though.
A couple of kills back for Narvi.
I mean, I liked that there was a plan.
Yeah.
I liked that there was a plan.
It's unusual, you know jumping out a window for flash
For a minute there apex was doing that yeah
He was doing he's he ever wants to while he gets into a mood. Yeah. Well now there's a lot of pause I
Think it's because we're having a conversation. No, it's definitely why yeah, but it's that it's there
Well, there's an AK-47 recovered bombing planted round is done the question is this be musket to keep his AK
I assume yes with this low HP
So we're all tied up at 10 and I gotta think of time out right yeah
I'm out yeah time out time out time out
Everybody take it. We take a time out too. I wonder if we have any time else to call yeah
I think we should get one get a talent time out. You've won a day one talent time out
Okay, we'd like to use it right now. Can we I'd like to use it after this round. Yeah
Chad did that yesterday. I was a bit sure. Oh, yeah
He did do a little pause and go.
Did he?
Oh, I thought we were being original.
No, it wasn't a timeout.
He just did the thing where he was like, OK,
and we'll be back after these messages.
And then we're back after these messages.
OK, cool.
We had a little racing time.
Yeah, it was a good timeout.
He was proud of that.
Very proud of that.
He was very proud of that.
It was funny.
It got a laugh.
So did we take the timeout?
Again, I'd like to stress we would like to take our timeout.
Yeah, where's our timeout?
All right.
Get the alert flat, notify the admin team.
I'm not pleased, somebody.
One of my 30 seconds.
I can't need a pee.
He knocked someone's camera over.
Not beemuses, though, not a sturdy tripod.
The hours are pretty expensive, then, Krospo.
If you don't do that, they're pretty expensive.
Oh, why does this look like the perfect call for Naby?
Well, because nobody's helped me with the eight bombsite, so...
And you've done enough of your mid-hijinks.
Yeah, you've conditioned him now.
Alexi's got him on a string.
with luck rain raker
after this year
who did
well right wake up burning
dad couldn't get anything from the whole of zoos out of bullets
he's banished to get away
there's no one coming mid either it's all this push on A
and running out of utility is Navi a couple pieces left
but once this bomb gets planted, if it gets planted he must
he's in saddler
yeah he's gonna go overlooked upon the fade
It could be a real golden opportunity here for Bemis.
Smoke fades, he gets one, and not quite the second, but his teammates are chipping in.
Alright, it's bit moment.
Bit's time to shine. The 1v2.
Shoulda won the pistol.
Shoulda get the bullet to him.
But now it's down.
He only needs two Yankees.
He's got enough Yankees.
He's got his clock out ready to finish for the close.
Clock versus Afro.
Dancing around the side and he hits the headshot.
He went on the clock, man.
He went on the clock.
i mean he's sick composure i mean a really good job kind of i mean he just
stalls it out right like you you feel in that situation that he's gonna swing
pretty much immediately if you're the ct and just gave you an extra beat
that's a real bit of a heartbreaker for afro
little beat a little beat just afro side kind of maneuver
yeah because you feel like the timing of him swinging is like there and then
you swing and he's not in the open you're like oh this this kind of
It sucks and then there comes the glock to your dome.
There's just a bit of a micro in the end from Monty unable to get the 2v1 on him.
Oh, and you've not fully invested so you're kind of, you're fighting for 11-11
but you haven't put all your pennies into it.
You would love, this would be a dream time to start hitting some scout tags.
Soften them up for your pistol brethren.
And they don't go in his way.
Yuma's underpass, right?
He's not actually up in the ladder room yet, okay?
So they at least don't have that ground gain that quickly.
Being very cautious, Navi, in this round.
Oh.
Oh, don't do it.
No!
You still hit it.
Tagged a bit.
You till dump.
Are we going to see commitment here?
It feels like a commitment, but...
Okay, so Yuma's the release valve.
thrown everything you've kept their attention this way they're expecting to
be hit
Ema's now opened up and actually if you just oh this is nasty
to
oh okay that's why I
realizes he's not going to get the second immediately that and now Rainwaker
start all they've come right into the MP7 and he's cut them down
two from Rainwaker nearly a third opportunity but it falls so it all falls to be
a 1v3 to try and keep this tied up.
Can he do it from CT spawn?
That plant going down in front, triple.
They know exactly where you are, stepping on top of ticket, drops down,
not giving him a shot at this.
The spam is good, but Mikaze peeks out, and it's Navi up to series point.
Mikaze's not stood. 25 kills here on the third map.
That's excellent. He's just been delivering since this map began.
Through some of the slow stretches of Navi, Mikaze's always been there.
kill here at the end of the day two chances for not be to get out of the
series with a victory and get a little bit of revenge from Cluj
fucking nice come on I have a wonderful boost it up and knocked off his
perch by Afro I suppose they say the angle once I guess he was thinking to
I think he wanted to shoot while flashed and then didn't move instead. Yeah, maybe he didn't think there was gonna be a hop on the other side
So he didn't expect like he just like all I did, you know, I
Could be costly
Should be then again because he is still alive so watch out
Yeah, I'm Molly department. Yeah now they're they boy dad
Yeah, yeah, one van, one van.
Yeah, definitely van.
Check out the molly.
He threw a T-Molly somehow.
But he missed it.
Too deep.
I'll go pick up the bomb.
Yeah, yeah, someone's going to do it.
Actually, Alexi stole that job too, so...
He's going to go back to his spawn.
Looking for an A finish.
Bit is currently smoked in Palace.
Oh, and you've applied so much pressure to the B bomb site, you have to know it is the right way to finish.
I look how passive the AD defenses.
Unless they die to some smoke spams or something along those lines, I will be able to get the bomb down here.
Most likely.
Yeah, I guess with the 5 on 4 they're just like, we can play retake if we get one more, it's gravy.
Flash is not here Afro after all.
Oh, no, he was not blind.
And he's just farming out.
Afro, kill after kill.
And it all crumbles so last round of regulation is required smoke kills do come
And the off does not get blinded off the line
All right. Well interesting coming down to round 24
Fitting though. Yeah, it is this man's gonna been a slog. It's been a battle, but it's been like a weird one
It's hasn't like it's back and forth. It's been runs. Oh, but important part there is
Actually that repeat he dies. They don't pick up his arm through. He won't have it going into this final round
Let's see if that changes the approach from one to the other.
They knew where it was, just couldn't get to it.
It's the second time this incendiary is too short.
You know what they say.
They need a little bit more mustard on that hotdog.
It's not about the depth of the molotov.
It's about how you throw it.
There you go.
That one works.
It's a good start for Navi, and then pulled back by Grenade thrown out by Azulu.
Here's the short fight.
And Mikaze getting boosted up has been effective throughout this entire half.
Actually, look at this.
He must be watching this.
Oh, yes, missed it.
Now, Sparnik gets spammed, and, oh, Navi, getting into a 4v2.
That should be enough now.
Mikaze goes to the murder hall, and Malti have given them a good go.
They bring it all the way to the last round of regulation here on Mirage, but for Navi
They have done just enough to get away to open up stage two
That's a dirty last round to just fall apart get picked apart by all the Navi players in different positions
Very close fight very good fight on a monse here on Mirage
Just the clutches at the end the bit 1v1 at turning point in
1311 third map decided Navi start their ESL Pro League season 23 campaign off with a win
Now I think for the Monty they're gonna be just so frustrated about just a couple of those moments through that out that second half
And obviously towards the end. So we get that clutch moment from bit winning on the Glock
You know, they got one of the row with that afro wall bang through the underworld you think okay?
That's it. That's the turning point for Monty back
Get some light up a window
I think what cost them is some of the details that tier one teams pay a lot of attention to so
in all of these fours by slash half buys right sure you want to win the round if
possible but you want to get something out of it if not you know an AK saved for
the next gun round so you build your economy and maybe you can squeeze an
extra buy round in the end or afro has enough money for an AWP in that final
round instead of having to play with five M4s and Monty just wasn't really
able to do that once Navi was able to break them and he did that two
times you know there were a lot of rounds where they just had pistols and armor and
the comeback wasn't perhaps as difficult for Navi as it seemed. Also also in front of
we can throw that out there yeah that might be something Marti wants to put some work into
I think that might be one of the reasons one of one of the few reasons why they lost this
series just a hater yeah I know that's it's what I do but it could have been more dominant
on Mirage if you know those 1v1s hadn't all gone Monty's way up until bit showed up. Yeah,
like if bit wins that pistol, it's already like the whole team's going to be crumbling
at that point. I wanted him to win that so bad. Yeah, it would have been so good. Whenever
I see like a T player pick up the USP and hit that first one tap after picking it.
Especially a jumping player. Jumping player. Oh, hit check, hit check, get into it. Yeah.
So yeah, that was hype. That was hype. That was great. That was good. Like first
match of stage 2 delivered it was a nice warm-up for sure now we get spirit
coming into the server so maybe we'll see a dog when it pissed around you know
before spirit we're gonna we're gonna be talking to a lexie b is gonna be
ready oh so that's something we're gonna ask him I don't know yet what do you
guys want to ask him I'm just a mom brainstorming right now I wanted to
ask him we're not emotions in the team obviously yeah I wanted to ask him
about his rack of jackets he's got behind he's got a lot of jackets on him
oh yeah he does he has a clothing rack doesn't yeah and I'm like it looks
It's like it could be in like a fancy clothing store.
Sure, like it's tickled your fashion brand.
I'm curious.
Yeah, I'm curious.
And is there a basement developer piece?
There is.
In fact, he took it to a tailor.
He got it.
Jacket?
Yeah, he got it cropped to like the right length for him.
Oh, that's pretty sick.
Looks really good on him.
That's legit.
I didn't even think about it.
Okay, that is next level.
Yeah, man likes his fashion for sure.
He's a stylish IGL.
Okay, we're making a list of stylish IGLs.
Is Alexey number one?
Who's up there?
Who else is he there?
Who else is a fashionista?
Well, I wouldn't say he's fashion, he's got clothes, he wears clothes.
He does nice clothes.
He earns them.
Yeah, I think Apex will a nice outfit through the Red Bull documentary that one time.
Agix.
Oh yeah.
Oh, he's John Wick.
He looks like John Wick without black hair and all.
And John Wick was fashionable.
Very fashionable.
Yeah.
Three-layer trendsetter, if anything.
Yeah.
The suits were awesome.
Yeah.
Did a lot of cool things.
We do jackets.
We want to ask, maybe do we do this, do we ask?
Dust2, any excuses? You want to drop for Dust2?
Dust2 would be good. I think maybe talking about losing all the clutches and the struggles
on Mirage would be cool to see as constructive on the issues they had today without harping
in on the obvious stress of the players.
Yes, but also maybe just like, you know, we might learn a bit about how Navi started.
Did you come in cold?
We asked him about Monty because they've played him now twice. Beat him once,
lost once. What's the read on Monty? Is the team you guys should be beaten?
Is this a team that's actually going to be competitive?
You're gonna be seeing more of those heads. You know do you anticipate to see them at the same event?
How are they gonna be against the other competition? Give us an info. Yeah, I like that. I like that a lot. Okay, cool.
Dinka.
What's up? I just wanted to know if you had any like additional questions for LXB.
I think uh...
Well, they call that they call that a thrown under the bus. If he's wearing it, you know.
Yeah, I really was.
He's not wearing the pearls anymore.
Yes, he's not wearing the pearls anymore. Well done.
Yeah, why why?
What a stack is that's the other guy's job. So yeah true. I'll have to wait. I mean, I imagine he is you know, he's on the
The bare minimum, you know your vitamin D to create a shoulder basics strikes me. Yeah
Yeah, I
What about me? You're interested in anything about like CP. Yeah, I'll ask him when he gets on. Okay, cool
So should we just sit here in silence until he gets on?
Shaved.
Can we take our time out now, please?
Yeah, apparently that doesn't work.
We're going to see a technical time out.
Unfortunately.
We'll do the stylish IGL thing again. Let's really think about it.
Okay.
Okay.
Other IGLs.
Blitz has some fashion sometimes.
Do you know how...
This is going to sound crazy because he's been at loads of events, but...
Blitz is way taller than I realized.
Oh, super tall.
He might be the tallest Mongolian.
I never processed his height until I walked past him in the hallway inclusion.
I was like, that's a giant man.
Yeah, he would have been the he would have realized the hon of the class for sure.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, he's also I've been watching a lot of like chess content recently
makes me have a newfound appreciation for his accomplishments in the field.
Jay, do you do we have the chess board over there?
He's gone for a break.
Actually, yeah, they do have a plan to hit himself.
Yes, they had a game.
We did have one game.
We managed to convince him, but it was over quickly.
I would say that much.
Yeah, it's a civilian defense.
Yeah, it didn't hold up.
It didn't hold up.
London system as well.
Henry's preference.
The British known for their chest kills.
Yes, yeah, in a way.
You know, we've got, we've had Tim Hemman.
You know, um...
You just wrote that on Wikipedia last night, didn't you?
Andy Murray.
He's a tennis player.
Andy Murray.
Hey guys.
Yes.
You know that timeout you asked for?
Yeah.
Did we get it?
He's not in the cranks, where could he be?
No shuttle!
A weird ride and now it's gonna end on cash.
Let's fucking go.
Let's just pick it up, let's not fucking get in the store. We don't give a shit about it.
No guy you've ever dated was like no I need to go play FIFA Bay like
Yes, I did
Talking about as we all know it's like this and hold Navi situation has just been a little
bit crazy.
I believe you did that.
You made good points.
You made good points.
It's messed up.
Oh, we're back.
We're back.
Sorry.
I was taking our little tactical there, and we've been preparing for our interview with
the winner of the first game of Stage 2.
A lot of preparation for this.
Yes.
Yep.
And I hope we can really perform.
Interview with the...
We're like, Na'Vi, let's not start slow, you know.
Let's come in.
Sure.
What's the first question?
Map 3 energy.
Mortal Kombat interview tactics.
Stay focused.
Mortal Kombat.
Stay focused.
Mortal Kombat.
Well, that's a good question.
May I ask him, is there any other cool scrap names?
That's a good one.
He's come out of nowhere with that.
I can't believe you didn't come up with that during our 32nd half-power.
I'm glad I got it in time.
Just across the field.
There we go.
Oh, please welcome special guest, Lexi B.
Hello, sir.
Hello, guys.
I can't hear you.
Yo, so first question I have to ask is do you have a favorite jacket on the rack
and are they all jackets?
Is that just a jacket rack?
It's a nice rack.
They're mostly all jackets.
Okay, it does look like you're in a high-end fashion store every time we cut to your webcam.
There is an insane one.
There's an insane one?
I'm going to get it, keep it.
Oh, I like that.
Good for you.
Okay, respect, respect.
I guess we can talk a little bit about Counter-Strike as well.
We were curious as to...
Well, there's a couple of things.
First things first, the slow start does too.
Is that just what we've described it as?
A slow start?
Or is there other things going on with the dust too?
I would say so. Also I want to say that I think they played great.
I just think that they won both of the pistols. They started very good on the T side.
We were kind of clawing ourselves back. We had a very good chance to turn it around on the second round.
I think we had a 4-on-2 on the anti-force and we ended up losing the B retake.
But at the end of the day, I just think they played better and we just took a take after
that map and understood that we need to step up on Inferno.
Yeah, this is already the second time you play the season, both time-close series, one-one
split.
What is it that makes them hard to play against the times?
I can't pinpoint a single thing.
I do think that we are not the knobby that has the biggest potential when we're playing online.
But under the circumstances I think we did great and us winning this game is a good sign and we
had a very positive mentality afterwards so that's good for us. And we were talking a little bit
about we got some voice call. We got the voice call at the start of Mirage and we had blades
kind of pre pre-match speech and it was something along the lines of stay focused and we caught wind
of a strat name you have a you have a pistol round a mortal combat we're wondering if you guys had
any other cool strat name no we have very cool names that's for sure coolness we have an individual
that cannot handle some some team names or certain names so we're creating good ones for him
overall Mortal Kombat is a keyword we kind of use for a certain scenario in a
ramp so okay it's not a strat name okay what's the coolest strat name you've
got that's pretty cool it's coolest we like lindvision we like this
it gives us strength on some of the some of the executes but we have some
funny ones, not cool ones, but I'm not going to mention it.
Yeah, make sense.
You guys had to overcome some wild clutches today. You had some good clutches yourselves.
The almost bit clutch on the pistol round would have been some crazy.
But what's the team like at the moment inside? You guys seem to be very up and down based off those clutches at the moment.
moment. So what's Navi feeling at the moment? You said not peak Navi because of online counter strike
but still feeling confident and comfortable? Yeah, I do think so. We practiced hard before this event
and just for us I think the most important thing is to keep the vibes high. I know it can be
frustrating at times and we know each other that we can be a bit energetic at times. So
So I'm trying to pump up a bit more and I hope the other ones understand that they need
to do it as well.
And that's something we spoke about a lot coming into here, playing online.
Is that the biggest challenge with having to play online compared to LAN?
Especially when you guys are not bootcamping for this and everyone's at their own place?
Yeah, I think it's just a beard wipe for us.
When we might lose a round or some frustrating things happen, we tend to be quiet at
times.
You don't see each other's faces or you cannot fist bump each other or see how the other
guy is feeling.
Sometimes you might think that someone is super pissed off, even though he isn't.
It's just a different atmosphere to be in.
But we spoke about it and today we did great and I hope we can keep it up.
Cool.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's not keep him any longer.
Thank you for your time, bro.
Thank you.
Cheers, Alexi.
Thank you, guys.
Have a good one.
Thanks, mate.
We'll find out about that jacket sooner or later.
Yeah, really.
Let's say half of them are NSFW.
NSFW, I believe that.
Yeah, I could see that happening.
Well, I think he answered it very politically.
He did.
Very well.
Either way, time for some NSFW something.
Yeah, let's go run the NSFWW content.
Yeah, queue it up.
Cue it up.
There he is, John Wood.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

I can't throw a grenade that far anyway, what am I talking about smokes?
Never stood a chance and I'm not Joe Montagna, I'm not throwing it that far.
Anyway, we are definitely in the midst of hamburgers today and I do mean Hamburg.
to be confused with the hamburger or the hamburger,
which you can find at one of your nearest restaurants.
For us though, we're looking at Mouse today.
They've got a meet and greet.
They've got all kinds of stuff planned and scheduled out
and ready to go for what's gonna be the big match tonight.
So in the meantime, before we get to them,
we're actually just gonna walk around.
Maybe I can make some friends
because the Lord knows I'm kinda tired
of hanging out with Ross.
Sometimes when my cameraman is following me around I like to just, you know, kind of go
like this but then get that double back so he thought but he's got a gimbal so like
he's a little easier on it today but anyway that's besides the point.
Somebody out here knows about Counter-Strike maybe it just interrupts someone's conversation
we find out.
Hey you know anything about video games?
Do you have anything about video games?
You said what?
What are you?
Mom, man.
Mom, man, that's perfect. You play still?
Do you play right now?
What's your favorite team?
Falcons.
Ok, rich blood right there. Why?
Who's your favorite player on Falcons?
Monacea.
Fun to watch, isn't he?
He's pretty fun to watch.
Where are you from?
I'm probably just seeing everything are you going to the mouse office later today?
You know mouse place here, right? I don't know you know they do they've actually played a couple blocks that way you should
Go check it out. They play at ESL Pro League tonight, so you're invited. Okay. See you there
See you
Can't script it you can't make it up sometimes you approach the right person
Sometimes you approach the right person at the wrong time. It's all about reading the room
Hold that, Ross.
Hey, you know Counter-Strike?
You know Counter-Strike?
Come on.
We in here now. What's up?
You know a little CS?
A little bit.
What's your favorite team?
I'll be honest.
No wrong answers, this is in the phase.
Okay, well, which parts of phase?
You like them in particular or you like the whole team?
Um, I was a big fan back in the day with like, robs and twists and so on.
It's a little different now, isn't it?
A little bit.
You've been watching ESL Pro League or no?
Alright now.
You've been back in the day, but now it is not really.
You've heard of this team called Maus?
Of course, they have their home office here.
That is absolutely correct because they're playing their ESL Pro League matches tonight
and you can go there and watch it in person.
Like right down the street. Oh go check it out if you want anything you want to say to the stream
Thank you very much. Oh, I don't hear that one. What's up? How you guys doing? What's up chat? What's up?
I appreciate y'all. Yeah, don't reason to chat. Don't reason to chat. See you guys later
This is Sprite Lee Chaps. Everyone seems to be having a good time
You like it?
Yeah, it's good.
You play video games?
Nope.
Can't win them all.
Alright.
Watch this.
Sometimes, you gotta sit back, you gotta sit back and let things come to you.
Oh, I don't think you guys are into it.
All that to tell us not to put them in the video.
they weren't in the first place. W's in the chat.
Sometimes shit don't need more cowbell. I don't know who said that. Sometimes it don't always
need more cowbell. Anyway, yeah, where are you from, homie?
UK? Oh, so is that good. Where are you from in the UK?
Leicester. Leicester. I've been there before, actually.
Yeah, small place. Not many Alabamians can say they've been to Leicester,
but also not many Counter-Strike players either. You know Counter-Strike?
Do you know yeah, what how do you know it and how far back do you know it from I think it's just like
There's like videos people like doing like crazy edits to them
That's probably the extent of which I know counter strike and people getting like really triggered on that
Triggered for sure triggered is probably the most perfect word. You could have possibly used
So eSports though. What do you think eSports? Yeah, I think they have a cool and they're like I watch them every now and then
Um, other games do I play games you play other games?
Yeah, but like single player nothing like competitive really just like Skyrim
Respect that's also rage-inducing triggering perhaps. Yeah, I can be triggering
I can be trigger me look man
There's a whole bunch of people that are gonna watch this maybe anything to say to and they're all counter strike players in this part
It's not just twitch viewers. So okay far enough. No love that for you. Maybe you're doing your spare time
Grand yeah, nice
To me it was very fascinating how there's teams out there, there's players that are
making a living out of something that they love.
series was no sprint inferno truly a marathon of counter-strike go let's
get there g2 we're back in business and we are yeah I'm hyped I'm just hyped
that we see some Lester representation I don't see you get to see that no I'm
happy for you as someone that was born and raised in Leicestershire that's my
county I've been there that's my cat pro league was there a couple times
We did, yeah. I went to university in Lester. I can tell you all about the clubs, Marsh.
Alex and Lauren taking us to all the local spots. We had to have fireballs with them.
That was the college drink.
Fun fact, actually not fun fact at all, just a fact.
Last year was the first time I ever had five guys.
Really?
Yeah, it was.
I don't know the one.
Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
Yo, the Alex tag.
Respect to five guys, man.
I mean, it's the most expensive and overpriced but it's delicious. It doesn't matter if you have money. Yeah, okay
That's what I've always said. It's true
And it's just a little so always the small fries because you get the same amount of fries anyway
It's like a clever marketing ploy. Yeah clever money if you overfill the tiny cup
You feel like you've always got you've got more fries. Yeah for free shakes are underrated there, too
I'm hot dogs. Oh, yeah, do like a five guys. I actually do a pretty good grilled cheese, too
So cast the stop talk start gay
We have to get into the Vito a little bit first, right?
We have to start talking a little bit about it.
The game won't start until we start talk about our game.
Exactly.
We have to bring the game to the viewer.
So we can bring up the Vito.
We'll start that process now.
Nuke is going to be the opening map.
Overpass is going to be up next.
And that's two.
That's three.
Pick Overpass.
Is that a thing they do?
They're started.
They're started to, yeah.
I think that's good for them.
If they can get up there on Overpass, the problem is that Vitality seems to be the best team in the world now on Overpass.
They just pick it and get 7-8 rounds every T-Side even without Pistol.
I mean, they just have really nailed that map down, so it's going to be important if you want to challenge them that you're also proficient on it.
And they decide to go for it as they pick here and brave from 3D Max to an extent to pick Nuke, having to start on that T-Side.
Especially because they just punished liquid last night for picking nuke as their map and starting on that
That's why they feel so good on it
Yeah, that's exactly why because they did they did trample liquid. They did, they smoked him
I mean, it's kind of I mean if you're a spirit
I think you're super happy with this like obviously your own pick
But then you get to start CT nuke and then you have Dust2 as a safety net you're laughing
Yeah, it looks good. I mean, we're all we're not we haven't said it yet
But I've seen we're all assuming that Spirit are the heavy heavy favorite
I'm not gonna go heavy heavy favorites. No, I will
I'd like to take the heavy spirit. I think 3d max barely made it through stage one. They beat liquid yesterday
They just added in Masuta. They haven't been looking great. I think team spirit should come in and see Alex
This is the problem every time right? It's the damn double standards. Hmm. Can I why are we so critical of 3d max?
They changed IGL so it's my canal not gravity. They brought me suit and for body
They changed their coach and they brought in a new assistant coach all like ten days ago or two weeks ago
It's like they made stage two awesome great for them same team that was zero and three inclusion
Yes, right what a turnaround can't you be a little bit more optimistic thing called you're too young to be no
I think in it. I just am very positive about spirit. No, you're not you didn't say that
You didn't say three Max is a great team, but spirit is better. You said 3d Mac
Well, they did. They barely did. You know, Team Liquid, everyone's beating them these days.
It's true, they are.
Why is he Adam Sandler?
I don't know.
And the points still stand, Janko. The points still stand. They did barely get the chance to win.
You can see the results right there.
Also, Spirit made a bunch of changes too, which is why I'm not saying they're heavy,
heavy favorites.
Right.
I'm still not completely sold in this whole magic as an IGL kind of a situation.
It does feel like it's, I mean, logically sound as far as, you know, someone was
show me the chopper hate montage. I think it's sound in terms of going like in
terms of the options you had at the point where you did it but I don't know if
it's gonna work yeah you know like the Chinese fans are back you weren't gonna
ask you're gonna ask don't I feel you're gonna Sonic's agile you weren't gonna
ask you know you obviously gonna change chopper you're not gonna shiro to do
it so you know like you kind of just kind of fell into this direction with
someone they already had under contract to keep it in the family right yeah you
know all the players that have been on the team before basically just get
Now, Taneer instead of Chopper and Magix has two IGLs.
They've had just as many moving pieces as 3D Max has when you think like Taneer coming in,
Zwei coming in, Zwei going out, Chopper going out, Magix coming,
Goliath was out, came back in, Zontik's left, now he's back in.
So they've had just as many chops and changes, so I'm not ready to be like,
I know they have Donk and that's always going to make you a favorite of some kind.
I know they have Shearer that's always going to help you in some way,
but I'm not ready to say overall that the Spirit team is just going to be a heavy favorite against every opposition, you know?
And it's NBK assistant coach, which I find it just an exciting prospect to see him.
I got a brief, I crossed paths with him, I was doing Blast, I think he was doing analyst
work for like, he did one of the Blast events.
I just got that, but he was also trying to compete at the same time.
Like he's been kind of trying all of it.
One foot in each door.
Yes.
Yes.
So I mean, that's interesting.
And Wasink, you know, has gone and Wasink's back in.
Yes.
Wasink came back in, previous coach.
Yep.
It's just it's it's funny to see once again is counter strike and the French. They always have
Funny it's like the most ancestral scene we got like this can't they can't figure out. Hey, we hate you. We love you come back
We definitely have not enough people really that speak for that's well
I mean, it's a great it's a great way to highlight this the reason why every team has gone international because you do eventually if you
Say regional and stay within country get to this point where you like we've tried everyone worth their salt in this
It seems like...
Last country is Russia.
Last country is Russia.
It's just an infinite spawn with an amount of talent coming up.
Yeah.
Especially in terms of the Op'ing department.
Yeah.
Must be nice.
Yeah.
I'd love to see an American offer just popping off again.
Oh man, when was the last time that happened?
OCEA.
OCEA's had a good year relative here.
It's March.
It's had a great year.
Had a great year.
You can't deny it.
You just can't deny it.
It's killing it.
It's trying to fall off, though.
3 months in but for 3D Max the positive was they did actually look good on Nuke and Masuta
I think it looked really good so in terms of if you have to go and find a french player
bringing Masuta and he seems very comfortable so far. I'm still surprised we haven't seen
you know the second coming of Kyojin right? Where's Kyojin? Where is he at? Where is he at?
Can you play there? We got Trace out there on the trains and the vitality won.
I want to find him.
That's crazy.
Two of them on the team.
That's probably Apex's most impressive achievement out of all.
Winning a tournament with Misuta and Georgian on the lineup in 2021.
Obviously.
Well, he also had Zywu and Tim told me that it would be fun.
I'm just making things up there.
Yeah, yeah.
He's just poking the ball.
I'm just...
Listen, I'm not following that.
He's trying to send hate to Panko.
Jacob has gone down the line of like engagement farming with his tweets and like rage
baiting and engagement baiting and I'm not giving him the satisfaction. No, I'm just ignoring it. Okay.
Okay, good. Good. Well, not something you can't ignore. Something you can't ignore is Masuta.
He's got a beard now. He's all grown up. He's 1.23 rating for stage one. They did, of course,
just by the skin of their teeth get into the second stage of competition. And basically gifted
a spot in stage two, according to them. Apparently, allegedly. Promethium. Exactly. That's what
That's what you were saying?
Yeah, exactly what I was saying.
It's a lovely sunny day in Masutaville, you know, the sun is still shining.
Look at that, the trees, it's coming back to life, rolling into spring.
Country hills.
In the last day of winter is March 24th, we're nearly there, we're nearly out of there.
Really?
Officially.
Yeah.
Oh man.
It is funny every time winter starts to come to an end, you start realizing that
like life's okay.
Oh, life is alright, the sun is back out, I can be happy again.
Yeah.
It's making England, you know, we really do do winter properly.
a technical pause later.
I'm down I'm down. I'm down if you're down was it always to me
It's not the glasses on yeah, which I had some I could be casting this game properly. I'm gonna go sit next to my TV
So okay, just be careful about this whole table situation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I was doing it fine yesterday
So you should be okay cool cool cool cool?
So let's get this pie started
Let's get it started this around is live spirit starting on that CT side
and 3d max gonna open it up slow oh oh not for long that's don't that's the
um that's don't dad straight away so any hopes of a dog pistol moment out the
window straight away here but he can do with a p250 okay it's way by p250 in
the pistol and now you just crunch in we go for like a heaven like as well
Oh, this is noise. You get information, you draw attention, magic's in share, I distract it.
And then XCC's can just come on in from heaven and sort the rest out.
Yo, they've come in locked in here 3D Max.
When you blow up the first two players like that, like, you can't, there's no way to cut them.
As long as one of them is Donk, I agree.
Yeah.
That's fair.
I'll allow it.
So Pistor on the way of 3D Max on the T side.
So, you know, it does kind of, uh, help when you pick Nuke and win the T side pistol.
You're gonna feel pretty good.
It's gotta make sure that this force goes your way in the top second round
And you give yourself a nice foundation built up not too shabby just the one casualty
Gravity's gonna be hoping for a much better day today. He was quiet in the series yesterday. Yeah, you're on the struggle bus last night. Wasn't he?
I couldn't get anything done a long rink him leading either
Yeah, I mean, there's a there's a change of mentality you have to have when you switch away from IGL
We always talk about switching to IGL. Switching away has its own complications.
But I feel like normally when we see a rifle or switching to being an IGL and switch back,
it's like a star rifle or so it feels like they always just kind of get right back into things.
Yo, an XM-1014.
I like Magic's reactions to their pistol round. Just having that straight. Not bad.
Not bad. Respect your game.
Yep.
That's it.
Near auto.
Shotty.
These demons could get anything done.
I'm marching down towards Taneir. It's gonna be gravity.
Gonna fight against the shotgun.
Yo, this shotgun gets this kill easily.
He turns that corner.
Our fancy POVs aren't changing, is that? Something we can fix.
I'm just watching Masu to hold ramp right now.
Doesn't have a tech issue, so it's me observing right now.
Oh, Jay. Oh, bless you.
So if we miss a kill, blame me.
I'm gonna, yeah, respect.
Respect to Jay, guys.
They won't be fixed.
Respect to J-Rex one time.
Do you need some help there, J?
Oh, God!
We've got the Yankee fruit, but...
You're on some main homes, yeah.
Ooh, alright.
Oh, that's exciting.
Yeah!
Running back the years.
Alright, XM, 10-14 dead at the hand of the mag-10.
I was really excited about that shotgun.
I thought we didn't even get a shot from it.
No, not even a single pump.
Just gonna let that one hang out.
Yeah, I'm just...
I'm not taking anything like that.
Let's see who's taking that one.
Anyone?
We're takers, huh?
All right, well, who needs to be bomb certain we go?
OK.
Experiment your mind through decon there, Jason.
25 seconds.
And, well, you've got lobby control of your spirit,
but you don't have much else.
So that's it.
That's the save.
That's cool.
That's cool.
That was a cool round.
One of the rounds.
At least you get another chance.
True.
Four of you boys are going to bring their weaponry through.
Lobby crunch, maybe?
I'd love to see that.
You guys ever hear the one about the German Coast Guard?
I haven't yet.
No?
What about him?
No, so there was a boat, and it was out to shore,
and it was sinking.
And they radioed the Coast Guard and said, we're sinking!
We're sinking!
The German Coast Guard presses the button and says,
undwater, you're sinking a boat!
There we are.
That was good.
That's nice.
Thanks.
It's almost as good as Janke was.
Versus case scenario.
that's crazy
all these gentlemen as we head into round three i'm so just so delighted to
to let you know you have a real treat on your hands your dsl pro league season
twenty three we have yanko now entering the observing booth he hasn't done
that since two thousand and fifteen the og observer
is going to be here taking you through all the action and back in the day he
had to observe two different fees at the same time look at him he just looks
so calm just getting his brief
he's getting his uh... so one familiarizing himself
Technology's changed. Yeah, a lot more screens. I'm sure these days. Oh the headsets on as well. Okay
This is exciting
Of course we're watching dog. We're going to prioritize donk at all times. He's just observing ever. This man does what he's doing. Go to dog
Stop behind the smoke towards ramp room marker just lining up utility on the roof good control at the moment the defense is
Moving around the map getting into position one on top hot one drop in vents. Donk is
in mini
This is a heavy little early premonition about a B finish.
Rieko right now is looking at the way the T's are lined up and he's like,
ah crap, I have an upper execute to observe.
He has been thrown into the deep end, doesn't he?
The first chaotic of rounds.
Yeah, observe me as your first one back in 10 years.
Go to Donk when the fight's about to happen,
because you know something special.
Control of this decal, and that's exactly what happens.
Double from Donk into the AK, and now Lucky and Mac are left.
What are you gonna do?
Press number 4 and he'll go ahead and get 4 on his own!
He hasn't missed a single kill!
That's so stupid!
That's the best observing ever here!
How does he do it?
And in fact, Donch might just go ahead and do it.
Oh, I missed one there.
Oh, that was like so perfect.
So perfect.
Well, Donch, stay there, stay there.
Can you get out of the real world?
This is gross.
I just wanna talk.
Well done.
Well, it's like, whenever you play against a team that has a player like that, we had
the same conversation when I was in Liquid with playing at Simple, you're like, you know
he's gonna have rounds.
Yeah, he's gonna do that.
Simple's just gonna beat you single-handedly, like probably like two to three times and
a half.
Have that same mentality with Dog, but what it actually happens to you, there's nothing
that you can do to prepare yourself to like mentally get over it.
It's still just like, oh great, no.
Well, and you can see like his own teammates love that like they just they just laugh about it
Giggle about it like well fair enough we have got this guy on our team
Yeah, we just won this round and we didn't have to do anything for it
Shout to Donk one time. He's your Halley really vocal in the time off in the little microphone indicator
I think that's the thing that gives me a little bit more faith about team spirit and this in game leader change is the fact
They still got Halley, you know that's valid
I know everyone's been very vocal about how he has built the system of the team.
So hopefully, he can help Magix come into this role.
Yeah, peace of continuity and also, I mean, good work building this spirit team up to get where it was, so...
I was lucky heading out into his ramp room, so they were taking quite a bit of damage here early.
I think he's doing this on his own.
Yeah, he is.
So they take ramps, successfully removing Sontek, so that's going to open up the avenue into B.
I think you have to save.
I know that sounds really stupid. I know it was wrong to save or too earlier today, but you're not even in...
Yeah, this is a save.
And the effects of CZ is going down. Wait, Taneer's going down.
you could test the waters but they'd have to misplay heavily here
you all that advanced I suppose you know don't winning it with the magic
is a fine exorcist is the other problem
see they're just they're just coming to investigate and see if anyone gives them a free kill
looking for the reaction as magic's finding it but gravity's got one three
on three but there's no time left in the bomb so you're keeping the rifles as
close as you can to the explosion I'm trying to try to take some of these
weapons away from 3D Max. No significant attempt at actually winning the round.
3-1. An important save too considering, you know, Spirit's money situation. They did win an eco with Donk's Deagle.
They got a good amount of money, but you don't throw it away for nothing.
Donk is winning 13 rounds on his own.
That's a good start. So time out here for Team Spirit.
I'm only coming back here. I was going to get on the AWP.
Doc does have an AK-47.
How many is Doc going to get today, Dinka? What are you feeling? What's your gut telling you?
23.
23 kills here on Nuke.
Yeah.
23 frags.
Only 19 more to go.
I can see a world? Yeah, for sure.
It feels doable. It feels realistic.
Well, good foundation lead for 3D Max already, 3 rounds, but it's a good start on the T side.
I'll see if they can win this gun round. I mean, you've got magic here on a goleal.
So, damn it, we'll weakness over there for Team Spirit's purchase.
Counteracted by Donk having an AK on the CT side. That's always terrifying.
Gonna be some ramp pressure again towards Zontics. He's gonna block it with a smoke.
That's second round save epistles for Spear and to the third round win is actually so
heat look at the money they have after a loss like you got they got what four free
rifles in that round because don't got a quad kill.
You lose them all I mean you lose a ton in the previous round but it doesn't matter
you just rebuy off and you still got cash in the bank so that one round is just
given Spear a lifeline for like the first five of this game.
They are rich.
My answer is very supplied.
Yeah, that extra little question mark as well opens up avenues into the warehouse that Don's
trying to account for but doesn't even expose to the suitor on the roof.
Nice opening kill.
Lucky in unison as well.
Takes down to near.
Site taken round over.
3D Max.
Is that pick for a reason?
Look at a little bit sloppy at the start for Spirit, that's a kill, Donk, you got like the first like six bullets I felt in that engagement and missed all of them.
You don't see that too often, so a little bit fortunate for Lucky on top of the roof, able to take them down, but I mean the rest of Spirit is still getting steamrolled as well.
Oh, it has been planted.
This is why they're not heavy heavy favorites, you know?
It's just maybe heavy.
Just heavy, yeah, regular heavy.
I don't know.
I'm not working out exactly.
I've never seen someone go for a save in this position.
This is a Zontik's exclusive.
I like it though.
Once the exit.
You want to peel away a kill hit?
Are you sure you should get a chance?
Oh, oh hang on.
Grab his head, we're at, okay.
I'm going to have a PQ and Zontik's, as I'm getting ripped off the top of it.
So at least you're saving the big gun.
Oh, I think we know now why.
There are a few people going for the save up there.
It's a crazy shot to be honest with you.
Like he must have just reacted,
or he somehow processed the trajectory
of the bullet that whistled past him.
Pretty good either way from gravity.
Pretty sure that was just the first bullet shot.
Just crazy.
Please get out of my face, this is the one.
Oh, yeah, you don't see that, miss that too often.
Not quite in that fashion.
So a little bit cold out of the gate,
it almost feels to a certain extent for spirit.
Four to one though, for your T side nuke,
getting started on this kind of a lead you're you're loving it you're laughing
you immediately bounce back from a dunk round that's already really promising
that's the only round spirits one is a quad kill from Donk oh yeah you've handled
everything this defense has shown you well here they go a fast upper plus
you got Masuda charging in trying to clear out Taneer won't be able to do it
in fact Taneer gets to Donk able to stop gravity and another upper hit
Trillisp on not working here for 3d max so that's spirit getting the second
You see that window of opportunity created by the flashbang and then when it closes when it slamshot
Masuta's trying to turn the corner on the touchers boxes, and it's like if you don't get that kill rounds over so good luck
All the flashes where often the spirit defense springs into action
Yeah, it's always gonna be it's gonna be a rough feeling isn't it when you're
Try and do something pacing the round ends in the first 20 seconds of play. You put Makar in the mud as well just
In the mud yeah spamming through the heart and yeah a little bit of a dissatisfied ex of cease understandable
Donk still has his AK on the CT side. He's retrieved it.
See if he can get a bit more use out of it this time.
Lost control of the spray onto Masuta, as you were talking about.
Now it's going to be GLIL versus AK. Even more of a favor.
Even got more HEs for the smoke breaks if they do throw out the wall. Looks like it's coming in now.
Got a huge stock pile. How many players is 3D Mask going to stand behind it?
You know, Donk loves to break these and spam through, seen plenty of highlights,
Molotov towards secret to delay and disjoint any kind of progression.
That smoke landed exactly as that one broke, so not getting any information here whatsoever, Donk.
Could be plenty of players outside for all he knows.
I mean, yeah, the double smoke makes it really hard to get information if someone's outside,
if they've crossed the secret, even when you break it open, there's still smoke in your face.
Yeah, they've used up all their nades on that as well.
Like, all their cheats have been used towards those smokes and nothing really clean from it, so...
50 seconds on the clock, 3D Max have hit the pause button, they're waiting to drop down into the main hit.
Donk is caught again, great trade from Zontix, but here comes the rest of the attack from 3D Max,
trying to come in on that second wave.
And Taneer has done well, but Lucky charging through the hut, Molly, has come through with two kills on Taneer and Magix
and puts it on Zontix for the clutch.
Zontix is a great clutcher though. However, his position being known, Lucky will have then had that call of where he was
when he got the previous kill, drops down into the vents quietly.
Zontics as you go heaven. What does he go to ramp room? Do you read this?
He's gonna have time to play the cell but he won't know you won't know which one it is. He's gonna have to take a guess
Whoa doesn't hit the head
Zontics nails it lucky just walking on in to his demise big lucky thought he's got a little bit more time to get into a
position. Yeah, just a little. I mean, for Zontics to read that, it goes straight to
rare for him. That's a sick read. That's a really nice clutch from Zontics. Runs and
gets the AWP. Comes on back with a kit. Diffuse will be just fine.
I think it was just so many important kills there from Zontics to trade immediately
when Dark dies towards main. You know, if he misses that, like, it's in through
main, then you've got the split of lucky coming through high as well. It was already
so effective but should we just be the other side for perhaps oh my god that's
how it's in your gets that kill that's ridiculous for that to be a deciding
kill in the round as well crazy lucky even hits him in the dome just through
the floor through the wall whatever it might have been not enough damage well
situation here with 3d max don't have enough money to go for the full buy but
they want to at least have some sort of threat so I'm creating a couple of
pistols a few grenades here and there but should be spirit time things up
Now, where are you gonna stack them? You're gonna like stack made me
See if that is the case we've done that Lord smoke out the door and native the squeaky door off
No, it's home at the moment
Okay, there's this
Stack towards vent and just gets a 3k so
Nading vents in case anyone was there with the knife and uh well you don't even get a try and drop down.
Oh it's a new one for the ace here.
Give him one.
Yeah just turn.
Let him have a go.
Come on, sneer.
Last kill.
Hooyah!
All five.
You guys not getting as excited as I am about that. I'm pumped.
Yeah, there was a good ace chasing.
Thanks, thank you for helping me out there, yeah, thank you, I appreciate it.
That's fair enough. Well, I mean, it was just a really good spread on from Tenerife against the Pistols handling business.
Now we get into a tie game, 4 to 4. Team Spirit have carved away that foundation.
The 3D Max have laid out for themselves.
Let's see if Team Spirit can take the lead now.
So long to have a little bit of a look at.
So I guess I had a tough start to the game.
You know, five to four, but four of those five kills came in one round early in the game.
Spirit boot camp before this event.
Did they?
Yeah, which is unusual for Spirit.
Right.
Not known to be boot campers.
Yeah, but kind of need it.
Right.
This new roster.
They had a crazy schedule.
We were talking about the other day in the podcast with something like Wake
Up through like two hours of prep, eat your breakfast, go into like three hours
of scrims, have a little bit of a break, come back and do like six more hours of scrims
and then like two hours of wrap up at the end of the day.
It's wild.
I mean realistically spirits are favorites for this event now.
Like if you're not going to be playing with Fall and going into the playoffs, like, yeah
it's going to be what, spirit mouse.
Yeah, yeah, this event has to feel like a spirit.
Like if you're spirit, you're just like, well, the carpet's laid out.
We have to get this one.
If you don't, then that's when you start going, oh, right, something's wrong.
Yeah, you're working right now.
It is in the vents.
It's all rough, but to me.
Yeah, that's rough.
It's like I was just looking there.
I was holding for that exact to make sure I laid.
The bomb planted, tree max have lower.
This is our way back in. Dog looking for it.
There's only two people down here really.
Exorcism.
The vents, you need to get this kill.
Hello?
I'm assuming he crashed.
It has to be a crash we'll see if he goes off the server if not his brain jay's officer of your right Jason
There we go. That was the only way to explain that
Well, that's really sad. I'll be honest with you. I'm very sad for 3d max
Dude because that's around you are absolutely in with a shot. Oh
I'm looking I'm like how does don't get out of this without an instant trade and I guess max PC has to crash
That is how it generally happens. Yeah, the dead giveaway when he's crouch sliding into the wall not even working in the direction
You're like, no
So like back up
Buddy, you good man? Hello? No the answer was no. Oh my yeah, but that oh
All right, well it was always gonna be hard against 3d max you had this into the mix. It's gonna be even more difficult
How's the how's the observing going? Yeah, code
He's on his way over. He's coming back over here.
You had tenure timing on asking that question.
I actually did. I was straight up to Nerex.
That cannot be a thing here. So who will see it again?
This is just, it looks like he's crashing now.
Weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep.
We are nobody standing in the wall.
Cool.
You got a really cool speck on the wall you're just going to look at.
Yep, hold it in.
What's up guys?
Yo.
Yo.
How was it? It'll turn it back. How did it feel?
Yeah, on the ones and twos.
Nuke is still the hardest map in a way, to be honest.
Yeah, real.
Well, it's not bad.
You know, you can be on Donk camp sometimes.
Yeah, that was good.
Looks out.
Take a little break.
Sometimes you wonder, like, oh, Maccar,
are they talking?
Oh, no, he's crashed.
I don't know how they lost that round.
That was kind of wild.
Oh, they lost because he crashed.
But that's just like, you know, some other teams
were just insta-saved.
They wouldn't even think about anything.
But Donk pokes his head in.
Of course, obviously, you can't
count on one of your opponents crashing.
but sometimes giving it a slight goal, seeing if your opponents make a mistake, can pay off.
Yeah, I know. I've talked to a lot of the players about that over the years,
and they've all mentioned like the same thing.
It's like you'd be surprised at how often teams like let you back into rounds that you shouldn't be in.
Like you'd be surprised at how often you can just catch someone a little bit absent minded,
not in a position, not in any kind of safety,
or catch someone at a moment right when the bomb goes down
where it hasn't quite clicked or they need to prepare for the retake.
So yeah, sending that little investigatory player over
isn't isn't a bad idea and it's also your opponents might not know what you right
yeah like just because you think you're in a bad spot or whatever doesn't mean
you actually are they might not have the same information all right so we're
getting Maka back in just a little bit of a break he said hello I don't love
come on I was gonna say don't change your mind you committed let's stay on
this camera do you think I was enjoying it they're cardboard cutouts here at
magics you know like lookie he's got some personality to him I think it's great
what's going on back there but he has got them out some of these fellows pirate
in a tuxedo pirate tuxedo man and I mean shirtless man was the other guy I'm
curious what's on that bookshelf think those are like mangas I think those are
DVDs DVDs coming back baby is it yeah well yeah but it would be blue rays
right? We can ask him. DVD Blu-rays. Blu-ray DVD. Ah, right. They're the same thing basically.
One's called Blu-ray, one's called DVD. Basically. Nobody really knows what it is.
But you're right. You're right. As far as like having a movie and saying yeah, you're in that movie.
You can't remove episodes from TV shows. We can't, yeah. You can't record it and just
you put the disc in and there's two missing episodes. That was funny 20 years ago.
And I'm still funny now but we just can't. We had a young man sending to the mailbag
bag last night to the DHL Mailbag, it's DHL Mailbag at EFG.GG.
Sent in that he was having a date night,
he was meeting his date to bake cookies,
and then they were going to watch a movie,
and he was asking us for movie recommendations.
I saw that, I saw that, but wasn't it the
coaching cookie baking date?
Yeah, but there wasn't the feedback,
I think you guys get good advice, you know?
But wasn't it Lord of the Rings,
the full feature length thing, wasn't that in the...
Yeah, he said if it wasn't going to be
Lord of the Rings extended edition, what are we watching?
I mean, if you've already had a conversation
you get to watch the full extended edition Lord of the Rings. You're in there like swimwear.
Yeah, you're doing great. You're having a great time. Yeah, you're doing great.
I want to watch a movie that I'm watching. I just wanted to, I wanted to do that. That was
where the question was going to go is what movie would you guys watch? What's your date night
go to? Yeah, I mean, my fiance and I fell in love over Lord of the Rings. We both got
Covid together. So she was trapped in the room. Oh, she had to. She had to watch Lord
of the Rings. Nice. Yeah. I like what you're doing is if it's some sort of a
There's nothing better you can do for nine hours than watch the whole trilogy extended editions.
Every flight across Atlanta you watch Lord of the Rings.
That's true. I'm always tempted.
The initial 30 minutes when you're on the plane, you kind of peruse.
It's great because it's always in my shortlist.
If you fall asleep, you wake up exactly where you are. You can just enjoy it.
Yeah.
Yeah, or skip ahead.
What would you skip past though?
There's nothing I would skip.
There's no skips.
Okay. You guys can watch it your own way. I'm gonna skip around. Okay. I want to go see the scenes. I like
What are the scenes you like? You know, they'll
I like I like the party scene in the first one in uh, oh, yeah, with the fireworks party. I like that scene
Hold like first 40 minutes. It's great. Just makes me happy. You know, yeah
There's a smile on my face. I like that scene when they're all on the horses and they go
Yeah, that one's cool. That's good
Right of the room. Yep. Makes me cry. Steve went Gandalf appears
Spoilers, man.
I think we should spoil all the rings.
If you ever watch it by now, there's a statue of limitations.
You're not limited.
And when Snape kills Gandalf.
B-Rush, here we go.
Zontics with a double spray down, Shiro adds a third.
And that's the B-Rush.
So, can you get back into this game if you're 3D Max?
You have a great advantage in a round that you're set to win, it feels like,
feels like and a player crashes the retake is nice and easy after that fact because of the crash
you're a little bit frustrated can you reset mentally think you're a little frazzled right now
scrape one more just get one win push the bad vibes behind you yeah i mean easier said than done
for sure but i mean you've already got four rounds on your t-sides so yeah it's quite easy to
dismiss the shake off especially if you can just rack up one extra bonus you know
You know, you can keep spirit city side real humble here.
Two opportunities to do so.
Donk's going for a fight on the yard position.
See if he can catch Lucky if he oversteps his mark.
A rare, quiet day for him.
They're gonna walk straight past him.
They sound cute.
More than that, Nate Brake sets up Shearow.
What do you do trying to crouch and like...
If I can't see him, he can't see me.
Maybe he won't find me here.
Oh no, he makes that look so easy, nice double kill, final headshot 2 on basuta and looking
up through his silo as well, lucky he is going to nail his chance.
Yeah, just do that four more times.
10 and 5 here at the moment for Donk.
Is he going to need him?
Yo, respect to magics for trying, not too far off the mark.
I think it's just a little rat hunter, isn't he?
Just sat back there.
A rat hunter?
Yeah, just waiting for the footsteps to make their sound like it's just tears him
drop and he's gone.
Alright, now I'll slide out.
Well that went well for Donk, double kill.
Great impact from Donk.
Helped out by the break of the smoke, the information gathered, but Spirit
have taken complete control of this game in the last few rounds.
Not looking great for 3D Max, it's been six in a row for the CT side.
But it pretty chill, half as well. I feel like 3D Max opened it up with a bit more aggression,
but things have kind of relaxed since then. You know, we've just been hanging out.
Oh, there he is. Smoke break into Shiro. He's got the opening. Peggy's not flying back all
the way because he had Zontics to help him out. So he takes his second frag before dropping
now. Has lost Zontics, but the second frag from Shiro has kept his spirit ahead and
T'Niro's already rotated down to the lower bomb site.
Oh yeah, he's going to go for the Reclare. There's a need to.
Come on.
not a bad advantage. And Shearho's done some effortless orthing as he typically does. Never
the flashiest but definitely the most stable. Well I think Lucky's the only one who can
bring this round back. Oh no, we actually get back to that kill as well. Damn. This move,
Lucky? Okay, wins the fight, two on three now. You open up the potential for having
all the magic since standing up there ready and waiting. You overlook gravity because
you figured the 5-7 frag was the only remaining ramp player.
Ooh, there's a kill.
Hello.
There's a kill.
Cleanly found.
What a turnaround.
This is one hell of a way to end your half on a high.
Yeah, this is where you just needed that one more scrape
together.
And boy, are they scraping it right now.
Shiro's going to have to go all the way to secret.
Ace clutch, or pre-take?
I'm sorry.
I just don't think it's going to happen.
You'd have to really mess this up.
The hard work's been done.
Lucky, finding impact.
As you prophesized.
Smoked off as well.
now that's that's the that's the deathblood of the clutch
well for sure is he cannot save here
ha ha ha ha
I mean he could
he tried to not be ridiculous
but what can you do?
you gotta run through a smoke with your knife out?
he's lightly going for it
you know he's showing the intention of it
but he has gone down
and 5 T-Rounds for 3G Max to work with here on Nuke
a very strong start to get one extra at the end
we'll see if it's enough to win Nuke versus Spirit
75 on the half spirit boasting a minor lead at 3d max finding one of the tail end after a very strong start
Donk is here. He did something. He had a crazy round. Yanko managed to catch every single one of the frags
Thank you very much. We saw a little trip to Yanko's forward position got to resolve our tech issues with a Yanko Panivich throwback observer off
But we's back on the couch with us and we're heading on in
second half of play first map second game I'm happy spirit thing go ramp in
the pistol round through because three max love story ramp with two brothers
just so they go all sweat to spirit finding success did already taking
gravity down and Maca not happy hasn't sport anybody she moves in the lobby
with ecstasy's gravity didn't hear anything either don't think so maybe
it's done on us okay well so making it work there's Julie's up to heaven but
an immediate rebuttal from Donk and Shiro. Lobby's overrun by Masuda and Lucky.
Sontics was primed and ready for that one, but ooh, they are gonna hit him, punishing his negligence.
Surely you're good for one on Tetris, maybe even two. Donk's already gone long range, makes it work, makes it look easy.
He puts himself up to 13 francs and Spirit can extend their lead.
Yeah, that's a nice pistol round from Spirit. Good win there. Gives himself a three-round advantage.
economic advantage as well
Yeah, they're in a good place
This is interesting flash. Oh, yeah
You got flash didn't hear the leg break got vision back and the guys already behind
Did he just like get self-muted for swearing that's kind of cool
full economical a pure ego all doc not even not even considering the usp he's
like whatever yeah what a run for a cheap spam he's wrapping the flip side
tactics as well old-school nice throwback matches the galil very
stylish he was seven there we go lovely job mp7 doing some work outside on
Taneer and a couple of quick kills as well this one is gonna get shoved to
the side 9 to 5 and then by comes in and 3d max better get started on CT side
Overpass is coming up next is the pick from Team Spirit
Oh
Hmm wait was she wrong just
Glock armor that round or did they try to swap guns around because he ended with the Glock armor
I think they tried to get that galil
From don't they didn't so okay
So he's just chilling shouldn't be a big deal in the end especially if they win this round
But they don't mock us went for the AWP with no armor
So keep your eye on that glass cannon got to be careful in AIDS and obviously any any gunfire come in at the Mac 10 and the MP7 can do
Number two an unarmored offer
Could do a number excuse me. Oh just number not just number. Okay. There's a word before that. I see
Yeah.
I was kind of hoping to get to see the Maka vs. Donk from Maka's POV if he does try
and cross, but it looks like the second smoke is going to guide him completely.
So you get Donk for cross, and that opens up a world of possibilities.
Yeah, he's just done it solo as well.
Like no other, no other, fully of so many resources over towards Ramp Room, which
doesn't even have defense in it at the moment.
As soon as on his own in an island, Makka, he's gonna take the deep angle?
You got one that's massive and he's gonna have to keep fighting, especially without any sort of armor.
Yeah, but with Donk already here, like, this isn't, that kill doesn't do as much, it just, now it comes down to Lucky.
Oh, he's just backed off. Donk gets into the vent instead, just have a little clearance.
And Walk is way down towards Decai, comes down to who reacts faster, and it's gonna be Lucky,
but it does still doesn't matter actually, because Donk has the better weapon.
Yeah, I was gonna say, get down to the AK, not the reaction, you got to dig first.
There's another one from Donk coming out of D-Con.
Now, gonna come watch Vents.
One more kill, why not for Donk?
Yeah, there's a chance,
but Low HP finally finished off to the side of the vent.
Gravity's turned at the double door.
Shiro walking down into the right fall,
and Gravity's got that pick,
putting it all on Magix in a post plant
that looks impossible.
And he's gonna try and flip those odds
in his favor somehow.
He's gonna kill an Exorcist,
which does allow him to focus towards double doors.
Magix got out.
He opens that.
We're having him also spotted!
Okay, Magics, bringing this down to a 1v1 all of a sudden!
And Makka, through the side of the cylinder, drops him on the AWP.
A good go there for Magics.
He's just probably thinking, please don't crash, please don't crash, please don't crash.
I mean, I have to admire the way Makka approached that.
He knows he's got the arm, his teammate gets isolated,
but he manages to hold his nerve, continues his commitment on the wider angle,
and hits the necessary shot.
Magics, you got the hard part done.
Oh, that was a flick in the end.
Yeah, it felt like it. Very impressive.
I mean, yeah, it's also, like, Magic's, like, knew what was happening.
Knew the offer was sliding out, but didn't have, like, his exact location zeroed.
And I think Makka's just relying on one point.
There's gonna be a jiggle that just goes a little too far.
And he got it at the end of the day.
That's really quick.
Yeah.
Six shot for Makka.
So Timeout called from Spirit after that, out of money after this investment.
two tech nines a galil on teneir
another by to come back into this they know the money's a little bit low a
little bit bruised because the fact that it only comes down to the opera live
for three max so spirit come right back into things for round sixteen
I'm immediately tossing out the first wave of utility.
I was curious about that lineup on T-Roof.
Usual one.
Very chilled open things up. Both halves now.
Both teams are just kind of hanging out at the start.
We've seen Donk cross over pretty fast.
This time he's going to hang back.
This is an upper set piece all day long.
Donk looks like he wants to go outside though, so smoke wall is there.
And you hope that pulls at least one CT away from their duties on A.
Yeah, he just needs to get close to midi.
He's going to turn in and kind of help backstab this defense as they come in.
So like a lurk philosophy, but he's going to obviously be hyper aggressive because, well,
he's Donk.
Masuta gets flushed out, but I don't know if that was a dissipation, not just spotted.
I get it. I'm so ridiculous he wears that fight.
Damn, Masuta had the drop on him there.
He's about to get that 3D.
And now it's a task for the A-Defense.
Perfect pre-aim from Tenere.
He's done so well, nearly pivots into number three.
Shiro will finish off the job with his tech nine, but this one is ten.
convincingly so. I think you, I was, I would hunt. Maybe like two players send
them out, like have Tanir and Magix can trade their weapons, like give the M4
over to the high HP, Tanir go hunt down with a low health, see if you can find
this off. Not the biggest deal, prioritizing the money. Yeah, I mean,
you can kind of justify both ways, but it does look like there's a minor hunt
coming his way. And now Tanir has spotted him, so this is actually gonna
be feeling a little bit of extra pressure for Makka. He needs to find a safe
Haven to save and he's been caught. No AWP for you.
That's I mean, that's lovely. That's everything you want. You've broken him.
This is like the worst break you could inflict on someone.
You've taken the AWP away at the end.
Not worth buying anything around it, because obviously.
No money here for three max to result in 11 to six lead for Team Spirit.
We're getting that point now.
When I think I'd be wrapping things up soon, have one last goodbye for three
It's been a very out of me. It's rather a laughing at him. I'm just, you know, it's just funny. It is. I mean, because we all have been there. Yeah, I get like that way in matchmaking. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not even, you know, competing for the ESL Pro League.
Oh, real pride.
None of that.
Feels that way, though.
Just, just, just a little dopamine hit at the end of the night.
A little dopamine.
That's all I'm after.
That's all I want.
I played one face yesterday.
How'd you do?
We won an overtime.
Nice.
I mean, Harry Hugo, very intense.
Just one game.
You ended on that?
One game.
I ended on a high.
OK.
Was it that intense, or was it just kind of like, no?
No, it was like, I had to work really hard.
They kept trying to abuse the lowest rated player on A, you know?
And I successfully defended my side enough that we won so I'd read it maybe like last week
There was like a screenshot of one of Donk's face at games or he got like 95 kills
It was something like 32 35 or something it over like whatever overtime that is
Imagine imagine playing against Donk for that long yeah 70 rounds
He's got 90 kills
You've had to outlast him for that long and then he still wins at the end of the you got to be like
I did see the girl in the team had like 74 friends. It's like imagine that you've got 74 frags at the end of a face a game
You're not the highest you definitely back. I have 20 more
Like five more 20 more kill. Oh, man. That's that's the game. You don't chew up for that
You're like actually that's just the one of the day. That's I don't need to play anymore
Spoken like a true quitter. You don't ever end the night on a loss
I like to reverse that I always tell my boys. I'm like, listen, okay, we can't end on a win
We have to get nice and mad before bed, yeah, we have to make sure we're all pissed off.
Yeah, let's start showin' each other and like, hate ourselves and then we'll all go to bed.
Bind their seething, just re-binding the game.
After all those rounds, 95 kills, plus one healer.
Plus one healer, yeah.
Gun's back out. 3D Max, an opportunity to see if they can kind of have a half.
Lucky with an unusual off angle, trying to catch them on that first made break.
He's going to play for this fight on main roof and he will win it!
Admiral, we're moving to near. Donk slips down secret for the, what feels like a millionth time.
Yeah, 5HG for Lucky. He can get mopped up later on. No big deal there.
No one has rotated B. Whose responsibility is that?
I mean, they might just be calling the bluff and thinking maybe it's just a fake. The smoke wall was thrown up.
He has to make a sound if he wants to go any further.
Fly at the vents even also Masuta is the one you're you're thinking of that would be the next guy to rotate from ramp room
But he's playing along the wall, so it doesn't want to give up this position your next
Available support comes from dropping down vents, but you also don't want to do that if you think someone's crossed over to secret
so a little bit of a tough spot for 3d max, but
Spirit's not really pressing into that leverage
I'll just be top again
Backside Molly being lined up by magics don't does start his probe
It's not back side excuse me. That's must hang okay. It's the one that clears out the path for the HUS entry
Masoot has been here at awfully long time, so he's potentially gonna get his test of ramp. It's coming
Wow
They do better whoa
there it is there's the timing waiting for the sound cue coming out of the vents
easy kill for Donk Donk and Shiro against lucky with that 5 HP so he does not
want to step forward just a cursory glance into the bomb site yeah let
exorcise play looking for the fight over to his ramp low HP lucky up first
exorcise comes out of the double door so it's okay exorcise he's got a clutch in it
all right they just barely they're hanging on by their fingertips barely keeping
alive all that pent-up anger from exorcist and he unloads on donkenshiro kisses kisses
and graffiti bubble-writing i remember when i thought that was gonna be like a life skill
the bubble writing graffiti uh the bubble writing you know like for every project you know
you like bubble writing at the top of your and then and then microsoft fort is invented
Yeah, well I don't know wow that was a revolution there was change the game
Okay, got a whole spectrum of human emotion over the course of one map account. I know I suppose he shows it all he's got everything
Kind of a nice spray too
It's just curious how like you know before the internet
We still had all of those rumors that traveled the world right like everyone had at the s draw the s
You know, yeah, you guys all heard about Marilyn Manson's rib, right? Yeah, we got that. How crazy. Do you guys have yo-yo's?
We had yo-yo's. Do you have Pogs? Yeah, okay. I mean I was a bit young for Pogs
My dad had Pogs. Don't even know what that is. Is that a shot?
Feels like a shot. I just I inherited my dad's Pogs, I'm being serious. It sounds like some sort of genetic issue
I don't know. Yeah, my dad's got Pogs. He's got Pogs. No, I've got Pogs.
I inherited my dad's Pogs.
No idea what
Well, do I have something to show you after this game Jason's Pogs
All is in the chat
We're there help back
Again with this leg you got an opening death ago previously was to near this time donks been removed
Yeah, slow you down again. I think they wanted they wanted I don't know
I mean donk has the freedom if he senses something he can go for it
So this could all be wrong, but it seemed like they pulled the trigger on the hit
And then got counter utility and just stalled out and talk was the only one kind of committed
Maybe just didn't get the calm over in time
Rough just wanted info it gets way more than that gets that pull it to the brain
Drop down very very quick though
Ramp player already down there. Masuta gonna line up walk across the wall gonna be playing clock
20 seconds on said clock
Well, there's the pig from Masuta. Once again, tipping the advantage in favor of 3D Max.
Don't take scopes and pulls it back for a short second. They have the information of gravity.
Can he fly this way out of it? Yes, he can. Out of bullets doesn't matter. P2K to a headshot on Tanea.
And 3D Max really giving this a good go.
Yeah, damn. This has come back starting to form up pretty well here.
Third timeout for Team Spirit as well.
Last by moving forward they're gonna have to save one if they if they can't get anything done here for the 3d max guys
You've had a couple close rounds and money hasn't blown up and gotten you super comfortable, but you got cash in the bank
Not a bad place to be in could be a lot worse
You've seen similar rounds for both teams
on their T side where the CTs are out of money and they both want to do like sort of an A-pop
thinking all right with low money they're gonna be paranoid about outsizing and they're gonna
use outside and there's no off in play and maybe not M4s across the board so they try to be one
step ahead with the set call but both times just get shut down immediately luckily for
spirit they can still buy in this round 3DMars got the reset in the first half after doing
that this is it in terms of the money for team spirit and lucky with the aggressive
play outside that's you're looking for it spotting lucky though
smoke's coming up oh lucky getting caught by a flash yeah don't just gonna
make the most of that situation to here dropping on to main roof as well I
want to get aggressive outside to try and recover this a joke there's a
Jump spot interesting way to get some information don't better be careful has no knowledge of the slide through the trades
Not their gravity claws it right back beautiful
Voila
Whoo game play on top this is counter strike. Yeah, they're playing now
You kind of hoping for a misstep but it's this round is as good as done if they just lock their
heels in
They just left everything to go for that outside fight lucky providing them with some good information at the very least despite the death
So a prompt reaction from the side of 3d max
That's them the all-important reset round and what looked like a very dire situation on nuke is now looking more manageable
She wrote does have the bomb and they don't know he slipped through
So he'll get that down help the economy and they're split so if they
don't
Do well in this retake he has a chance winning is going to be tough
But any economic damage you can do right like one to two kills money still not set in stone for 3d max. Oh
My god
And they haven't pushed together they haven't played this together and give them a position of power
But shiro still goes down those two kills are nasty, but then they add it's still going to be a recovery here for 3d max
Okay
I'm alright
Hit that was a tease
Definitely definitely a tease
Man, I mean two kills is great again economic damage
Just you could see even sure I was waiting for the other guys who come swinging at a decon and control side
They were just a little bit late, or I should maybe say a little bit early on the first two
You got I breath raise at a dog you don't summon
And even with the plan, not enough money for Spirit to buy up, they're gonna go for a half
buy here.
I'm surprised there's no hero AK on Donk, usually they, this crown drops on cash for
them.
If Hero has a ton of money, he could have done it, but perhaps he's really keen for
that op in the next round.
And oh, there's not one on 3D Max.
Oh, goblano.
Honestly, I would have given a hero AK to Donk over saving for an AWP next round.
Yeah, this new key, you know.
Yeah, it makes sense.
And the CTs don't have it now. I mean, they could buy it next round.
If someone dies, there's that, so you can't necessarily bank on them not having an AWP in the next gun round.
still. Just what Donk is capable of. All this seems worth it.
Yeah, it really does.
You could do it on the Eagle too.
It'd be a lot of fun to play with someone like that.
I'm just like, oh, actually, an AK-47 in your hands can win a round whenever.
Yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, giving time to Spirit, I think it feels like they're trying to see if
3D Max is going to set themselves up for failure with any kind of a push.
So yeah, it has closed the gap. They're going to apply the pressure simultaneously and now
the Donkdeagle starts doing Donkdeagle things. Only the one though, exorcise to the back of
the site. He has the support from Heaven.
But Shiro just going to be the last to fall, takes another constellation frag.
I like that Donk went for the Heaven player because he's got his teammate at something
to jump up and wrap around. So he knows if he gets that kill on Heaven, that guy's
going to have a way easier time. So it probably would have been an easier kill to go for
the guy inside the bombsite fight again, but really wanted to kind of open things
up to make the strategy work. Kind of a little falls in the action of tech, Nicole Issue.
So we'll chill for a little bit, 11 to 10. Money's coming back for spirit. Got a game
though. What have we got for the rest of the day?
What's the second shift going to be working with?
They go to G2 phase.
G2 phase is coming in. Anyone have any emotions, thoughts, questions, concerns about
phase?
Oh, about phase. Yeah, I've got plenty of emotions there.
Yeah, I have concerns too.
Okay.
So that'll be going on.
Mongol's pain will be going on at the same exact time.
And then the final games of the day,
Maul's heroic and Furia bait.
Ooh.
So this Furia situation.
This Furia situation.
It's a bummer, isn't it?
It is a bummer, isn't it?
Especially being told that up front.
You know?
Well, you'd rather be surprised.
Would you like to lie to them?
No, no, no.
Hey, guys, him telling his team is obviously going to happen first.
I just personally wouldn't want to know until the playoffs come.
Because now, now I'm kind of like, yeah, like if you're a get to playoffs, it's going to be a real
yeah.
Mayor, isn't it?
It feels that way.
Yeah, I can I can a sentiment.
It's better to have reality though.
So for those that have missed the news, fallen has been clear.
He's not going to be able to stick with Furia for the playoffs.
I didn't read the article.
He's got to return to Brazil for some personal things.
Okay.
That's basically what it's up.
Cool.
No, no significant information in there.
So yeah, if you're, uh, we'll be without fallen, who's their IGL, uh, Sid will
be playing for him.
Who's their coach?
I haven't seen Sid in the server.
I don't know when the last time was, he stepped into the server.
How would you feel, Alex, if you were Fallen's teammate now?
I mean, I'd probably understand, you know?
He's done so much for us and all that.
I'd be like, yeah, dude, do what you got to do.
It's a shame, you know?
But we'll win the next one.
Or we'll win this one for you, but we'll do our best.
Yeah, I don't know what Fallen's like in the Fury.
Well, I mean, I kind of, I would have assumed what he's like,
but I don't know like everything that's gone on, obviously, in the Fury camp.
But when he was with Liquid, he went above and beyond to make shit happen.
So if he ever needs to go do something it's kind of like yeah, and I'll take his word for it
You know you need to go do something if you got to go you got to go I
Think it's I mean I'm on that side too, you know, yes
Yes, isn't everything in this world and you already sacrificed a lot with this career
So every now and again, there's some things that don't happen more than once or twice
in your life so
Playoffs of pro league
Although it not insignificant
and something that you can definitely, and also need to take into account, let's say
if Diorg, for whatever reason, just spitballing here, let's say Diorg is like, nah, you can't
go, I mean we have a big tournament, we have the playoffs, we're fighting for this, fighting
for that, then you're just creating, also, resembling a player, I think it's a compromise
that you can make, especially in case of someone like Fallen who has been giving it his all
for two decades now to all of his previous teams. Especially because you're in the America's side
of the VRS too, like you're not in a position where you're worrying about major qualification.
Well especially it's also like the fact that you can still show up for the you know stage two
that at least means that you can kind of get into playoffs, get a couple of extra points
and then, you know, a loss against a team that's equally as, you know, rate-ranked as you,
then it's not going to be too much of a, you know, a problem for your major campaign.
Anyone know...
Just love it how even at 3pm, you know, Zontex is playing in complete darkness.
Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, he lives very on brand.
He's in there. It makes it quick.
Very Sampias.
He's playing for the Batcave.
Very Sampias.
Full blackout blinds at all times.
What was the last time you guys had a tech pause?
When you were playing CS, when did you have a technical issue in the middle of a game?
We played a game once when I was coaching Liquid.
I think it was like the IEM Winter tournament that they ran in November or December of
like 20 or 21?
20?
20.
And Stewie broke his mouse at the beginning of the raid?
the game went live no I don't think he like broke it broke it I think it like
was broken it just got worse it got to the point where in like six rounds in his
mouse just one eternity later just then died yeah and then what happened after
that was he had to play the rest of the map with a mouse that like only works
like partially so he was losing his mind that's enough for me he was having a
really tough time saying it but then Elise dropped like 40 kills and we won
Oh, he doesn't do that.
Yeah, I was like, thank you, John.
That's a good one.
It's a good time for that.
Yes, saving the mentality.
Getting the back into it.
And we are back into it.
11-10, and poor-and-poor to the game here.
Let's see if 3D Max can tie things up.
Versus Spirit.
And then Vans on Zaltics.
Tenir.
Gonna have to deal with some ramp aggression coming his way.
Let's see that.
Oh, Steppe, but he got confused because he wanted to check the lobby push.
But that timing really favors 3D Max.
Tenir going down.
I think the hot players also stepped, which drew his attention.
Hello. This is shades of the old 3D map.
Yeah.
It's nice that it's still in their repertoire, but it comes out maybe once or twice a half, not six or seven rounds.
I feel like Misuda was telling us this in the interview last night.
I think I don't know if you remember that or caught it.
I think he mentioned something like, yeah, coming in, it's like, it's kind of interesting, like, playing with this team where, like, the CT side sometimes feels like the T side, because they do like to be aggressive, you know?
Well, Maka's down here with the AWP. Keeping his eyes trained on control side, he'll let
them get the bomb plant as long as his position stays secured.
Still dangerous for 2D Max. Yeah, they're not the best in these man-advantaged situations.
What are you doing?
Light shot's actually huge. Oh, he went back up.
They're on the back. They're suit up.
They'll take it off him as well.
This feels like a loss.
This feels over already somehow.
I think this round feels like it's lost.
The winning on the ref position, they come back down through the ramp and Donk is just ready to fire at them.
There's another headshot for Donk.
Agix getting one as well, and they've called it off.
They're backing away, and how have 3D Max let that one go?
It's a 5 on 3, they haven't fired a bullet since that point.
Zero scared Lucky Ray in the vents, Maka got dropped from the side.
And you don't fire a bullet back in contention.
That's a crappy round to give up in that fashion.
I know for a team speaking in their own language, that's a piss-poor communication right there, I mean.
It's also not hard to read this round. You killed, okay, you lost outside control, you pushed lobby, you killed the two lobby players.
Where could they possibly be? I mean, their best option is to go down secret and try to go B.
I mean, Makka, look how caught out he is. You just need to stay alive there. You need to play to contain your opponents.
I mean, why is Lucky thinking he can go down when Cedar is beyond me in that scenario?
Well, that's I think that's where we point to some of the changes that made within the team right like all the differ
I mean what I
Don't know trying to help about yeah, you're doing my best
I got that I was like, oh, they do have four players in the same
It's the dog gets one kill and stops. I actually nailed it on the 23 prediction. Just feeling good about that personally
Glad you're keeping track because I completely forgot
Personally feeling good about that understandably. Yeah
Today is probably not feeling good about the timing, but it didn't cost him. So actually, you know what very easy to shrug your shoulders and play on
It's like all right. No one saw that
It's a new timings
Yeah
Yeah, the vent one was crazy too. Yeah, that sucks
Well, I'm for a quick one. It looks like a quick one and a quick flashbang. Yeah, it's the MP9 gets an opening kill
Okay, 3D Max trying to make a case and it's very quickly been torn to shreds
You've lost yard control completely. You're going to boost Heaven in order to try and react to this.
Yeah, but this is the resources that you'd want to rotate to a lower bomb site if you thought that was going to be under attack.
So they very much feel like this isn't going to be towards B, like Secret hasn't been overrun.
Masuda's going to have to just kind of stay honest with it, but the boost up is protecting the wrap side and good luck.
4 on 3 for Spirit. There's a minute and 7 seconds on the clock. Plenty of time!
I think you want to wrap like these two guys can wrap and top mini player can split
There's too many angles to worry about if you just go straight to me. Yeah, especially now. You've just taken down the heaven player
What's the benefit of having a minute on the clock?
Like, you don't get in these situations in matchmaking because nobody has any patience,
but it sucks being like a three on four as the CT on Nuke and having a minute and ten
seconds to like try and figure out what to do against a team that's just paused like this
that you know is waiting for you.
Gravity waiting for them to come in.
He's gotta be the player that starts pulling this back somehow for 3D Max and he's gone
down to dog.
Gravity out of there, Masuto left 1v4 and it's a great try here from 3D Max.
Try it from you as well, Dinko. 24 kills is one off the mark of the 23.
Oh, 23. Kill a teammate, Donk, please.
This is so important.
I tried.
Please, Donk.
This is everything I've got.
Bersuda covered it from Heaven and Shirota locked it out.
It will be Bersuda to go down and a 13-10 victory from Team Spirit on the opening
map of Nuke.
A nice try from 3D Max, but ultimately not close enough.
We'll go to map 2 after the break.
We'll see if 3D Max can bounce back or Spirit starts strong in stage 2.
I'll see you in a minute.
And now we're going to see how it goes.
Oh, shit.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
0-3 in the narrow.
That's good.
It's really hard to play with VK.
I didn't run away.
I stayed in the ladder room and I just looked on the left side of the monitor and I saw four headshots, and it was easy, easy.
It was the last premium.
It was very stable.
Yes, in general.
There was a moment when Borya said he would take the house.
We went with him and killed him.
I let Borya go to the tunnel and went to the pit.
And then it was clear that Voxy would fall down and I decided to jump and kill him.
I don't know what we did, but I'm telling you that it's clear, clear, but I thought it was under the map.
I don't know what to do, I just decided to jump.
Is it a simple game or do you have such a player?
I don't remember.
I know.
But we lost the pro league.
Yeah.
Easy moment, because I have good position, but it's triple kill, it's so hard.
Nice one.
It was Thursday, it was a gift from Na'Vi, guys.
How do you say it? I was trying to record it, I thought I was going to die.
I'm going to kill you.
Are you going to kill me?
I'm going to kill you.
I see that you're going to die.
I remember this.
About the complex.
But Huzer can have mistakes.
He's picking me, but he's not picking.
Just wait for us, but he's dead. I don't know why.
Two versus five. And we know info for the two last guys.
One full HP and second guy low HP.
Don't tell me low, low, low.
I don't know. Again, he's going to first guy, going first.
And he's low HP. And I kill him and Magix kill last people. Easy.
Oh, juicy. I remember it. There is juicy one-top on my snap and on my side.
Oh, yeah. Wow. It's an easy moment.
Chopper told me Info 2 behind, and I know Info 1 low HP and 1 full HP.
It's not buy, it's forced buy, and I have good position for me.
but it's so like it but short it's unstoppable clash it's it's semi-final
no it's 2-1 shot. Is it a group? Yes. It's groups.
Okay it's inhuman clash.
I like him. It's super. I like him.
I'm the main outside player, a rifle guy, and he is a sniper, a rotator, I would say.
So he's playing around in heaven and I'm playing everywhere.
I'm just playing in heaven, but not playing outside. For me it's just rotator.
He needs to know where the enemy is and where should he go.
Yeah, don't tell me it's rain, he's running secret.
I know what I need to do in 20 seconds.
Retreat from A or Ramp or stay outside.
It's always the smalls that people can go just through
and you should just hold it in your head that they can do this or this
and you should just go and basically the hardest thing is to control everything.
Every moment that can happen, call your teammates to be aware.
When you got the smoke, there is three ways where enemy can go.
You as one person, you cannot like all three in the one time.
So you should tell guys, care they can be inside mine,
guys care they can go under heaven and just you should tell people where them should go.
It's not about knowledge of Nates, it's more about like some timings and great reveals.
I know basically only one mole at city sites.
All that we need to know is how to reveal some kind of smokes to get people distracted and kill them.
I just remember his palm and smoke and kill FaZe Clan in Katowice, but we don't have together playing in Moscow.
He played against FaZe and Shanghai on the Maverick.
He was pissed around because of some technical issues.
I was mad, FaZe Clan was poking the round.
He had a full eco with my 1-digil and he was sitting, waiting for someone behind the box.
I killed 2 and he killed the first guy with the USB and we won the round.
It's 3D Max versus Team Spirit. It's map two and it is going to be overpass. Now, I've
got Masuda to go through some positions with me. First of all, I think you've only played
one overpass with 3D Max, right? Didn't fare too well versus Astralis. Yeah, what were
your learnings for that?
I think the preparation was a bit too much and there was a lot of new positions for
everyone especially for me as well but also for the other guys because it's
like a whole new thing for everyone so so it was a bit messy but we're trying at
least to play the best yes that we can. Okay let's go through it then we're just
gonna focus on CT side because you're gonna be starting off there so let's
start with yourself Miss Suda. Where are you playing now?
On the left side. I am Korean. Is that different than previous teams?
Yeah, I used to play D, like a short, and can rotation, like mixing, so yeah, it's a big chance for me, so I play A with Makka, Bren, Sniper.
Let's pop him there with you. Lovely. What are you guys, what's like some of the most important comms you can have between yourself and Makka when you're playing around A?
Well the beginning all we're going to start the round with respect from the others and the timers
If we're going to play more towards B or more towards A if we have
Aggressor top or like we play more defensive depends of the buy they have as well
So yeah, it's kind of a mix and just like depending on which one and the tactics we're going to use
Okay, let's go through the rest of your teammates then we've got lucky. Where is he at? Lucky is playing rotation
Pop it like a rotation.
Yeah.
Yep.
And then grab it.
And we have gravity to a short and exercise as Bianca.
Lovely.
Yeah.
And in terms of facing spirit, this is spirit's choice
into the series.
I was just looking at your head's head history versus Donk.
I want to say it was like 2023 or something.
It was one of the few times you played it.
It's crazy.
It's been a long time.
How do you feel about the prospect of going off
against him?
I actually don't remember when I played it.
Maybe he was on Mirage or something, with ITB, I think, yeah?
I think it was pre-Spirit days, I'm pretty sure.
But either way, do you...
Is it scary?
No, I'm excited.
No, it's not scary.
It's spirit, it's not spirit.
Could be anyone.
I think individually, everyone can be on top in the gym.
So it can be done, it can be anyone else.
It's just everyone at this moment
have a chance against everyone.
So looking forward to play.
And just in terms of this over part,
obviously we touched upon head to head versus.
Charlotte, it's not going to be a favor preparation,
maybe not being quite right for you guys.
Anything that you've done coming into this series
to make sure same doesn't happen again?
Just be being more connected
because we didn't play much T side fronts.
It was more mostly city where we lost a lot of fronts.
And yeah, make sure that the preparation
is going to be nice and being like in
Focus at the beginning of the rounds of this. Yeah, just being ready for everything. Very excited to see you. Go down. Thank you so much, Masuda. Good luck
Thank you. Thank you. Oh, thank you so much, man
Don't fuck it off!
Damn guys, we almost had this.
I ain't got that saver.
Hey Future Purros, back on Nuke this time with the classic fast hut molly, great for committing
all the way to have the CT's positions disrupted.
To throw this molly, climb up the ladder and stand on the raised lip to the right.
Quickly aim along this line below the center of this window.
Keep running forward and running jump throw almost immediately.
Just like that, the top of hut will be molly.
However, Molly's cred is never an absolute guarantee.
Always care for a CT finding that little spot where the flames refuse to touch.
So, we are playing train A-side together.
I choose this position in Heroic because it's a very good position
because you can help a lot on A-side and also you have optional for rotation on B-side
and you can be mobility on the map there.
The reason why I'm playing this role is because it's very important to get first contacts and win the duels, so I'm good in it.
If you will ask me about do I like it, yeah, I really like it, and I don't want to play any other position.
He's just a terminator. He just stays in one position, enemy out from main or pop, he just like helicopter kills all and he's funny.
funny. The laughing and screaming can ask. When I played in CSGO I played with AWP and for me it was very
good map because I'm jumping like monkey from one train to second train and just kill all because
on face it guys don't know how to smoke something and it's most very good map for all players.
Very big difference in one optional. You don't care about that side because don't stay and kill
all. You can rotation every round to be full health. I feeling so a lot comfortable in this
position and for real maybe only one heart if enemy have a good control map and if they take
pop and also we don't do something on A like some stuff it's very hard for control this map because
you don't have a lot of positions for playing passive defense on this map if you stay passive
and sold out a lot of positions on this map and don't have control it's very hard for take
some popes on A.
Depends on positions.
If you play close, not aggressive, I would say.
You have to smoke T mid.
If you play passive, it's more important to smoke pop.
Yeah, but you should smoke inside pop,
because if you will smoke for all pop,
because in this game, smoke is very big.
It's not a very big problem for enemy out through the smoke.
I remember only one highlight on this map.
I had a highlight against Aurora, probably it was a Dallas.
I did 4k kills, and the last kill, X-Loud still killed my kill.
And I screamed into the speaker, fucking bitch, why are you still in my ass?
Maybe triple kill with a Diego on eco against an AP at PGA Austin.
And maybe like, I played this side, but I killed Pop, I killed Kona, I killed T-Meet.
And it was against Wichita's pro at Katowice at 20-25.
For me, the best option, if you don't have a lot of money, I always try to buy XM,
and try to run inside pop, closer to the apartment, because you have a very close position.
And XM is very strong in CS2, you can one shot everyone.
And also you have a lot of attention, because you see Shado before he can ult you.
We are back in business. Overpass is our second map of our second game of our second stage.
It is a new day. A new dawn ESL Pro League's 23rd season and Spirit aren't, well they're
not in the building. They're in their buildings and they're doing Battle of the 3D Max in
rather magnificently wallpapered buildings. Ex-Ace in the server of course with the
winning submission for best wallpaper there he is. He's a bit frustrated after this. I
think really there's no reason for us to have any other contestants. No, no you're right.
In fact most people are kind of... That's the only one with wallpaper. Everyone else with
a bit of a paint job. Yeah, room for improvement. Map to game 2, day 2, stage 2. G2. G2.
Yeah, not bad. I've got 2-0 perhaps as we have T-Spir, very likely to win this off he done, dickhead.
I know. Why'd he do that?
Why did he do that?
Because they're heavy, heavy favorites.
Okay. Yeah.
Alright, I see. Heavy, heavy.
Two heavies, I noticed.
Heavy Gawd coming up next with G2.
Welcome to World Association here at ESL Pro League. Yes, indeed.
Okay, love this idea. You don't get spotted when Makadest is clear and then you maybe get
a bit of an over-rotation. I like also that the CTs have started heavy-con. It's enabling
them to react real quick when the penny drops.
Very centralized. Always uses shadow. If he's got those settings turned up, I imagine
he would have seen it.
Oh, they know.
Gravity's activating for the craziest of flanks. He's not going to be able to
Shiro with the heaven smoke. But they are running into a three-man stacked site.
Headshots and they're looting him. Hey, what are you going to do, don't know?
Certainly well he'll go in and get his second kill. Also a lot of damage
displayed here towards Lucky. Here's the quick flank though. If you're gonna push
you got to be aggressive about it you got to get around the corner and indeed
they have. Donk is left alone and he can't handle it so Shiro comes back.
He needs to kill one low HP player to find inside the a bomb site. Oh, he's got it back lucky
That's a lovely shot on the retreat and shiro's left alone really good communication on this pistol from 3d max
They worked out what was up lucky hitting that must hit shot now get hunted down by shiro, but gonna
Say go down. Hang on he gets another chance couple of body shots
Softened up finished off
3 Max will take the pistol and that is gonna start you off on the right foot, that's gonna feel good
That was strange a bit from Spirit because I don't know if they wanted to go A but Donk got a little bit greedy and
you know, lagged behind but if they just chased down Lucky together, he was already on red HP
Yeah it seemed like the communication or the idea didn't get to everyone at the same point
because they weren't as aggressive as they probably could have been and as you were saying Donk got a lollygagging behind
Again, it could have been an individual decision. I'll turn into a lurker. These guys won't know I'm here.
But yeah, did seem like two different ideas at that 3v3 stage.
Trains is on that train.
Interesting to see them. Hey, hey. Interesting to see them go for a bye.
With no plant, just pistols and nades.
Probably, in this case, going to be a late A execute with all the utility.
Usually we see T's equal one and then just get the AKs out
In round three
Especially on a map like Overpass 2 and you have a lot of utility, but like scaling all this ground with pistols is a big big risk
Maybe it's an anti-strat seeing that 3d maxing these rounds plays further back so they can get away with it
Yeah, that's very possible
Because right now they're just they took so much space without having to use anything
I mean, it's crazy.
And now Zontek's thrown a little bit of fake towards the B bomb site.
He hasn't smoked, didn't miss.
The Molotov landed.
Okay, Doc almost had his chance.
He gets it again.
He gets it back.
One-day kill from Mako, but he's blinded the site and he's deleted inside the site.
And another three on three.
Is this going to be another second round one?
One of the dogs, D.E. Gawls, is coming out for a spin.
Into the site.
Bomb ticking on.
It's just so annoying that every little thing that you might not do ideally,
Donk just makes it look like you did the worst thing ever.
He just punishes it to the max.
Oh, we got info there.
He is that guy, buddy. He is that guy.
Ready now with the FAMAS.
Making it look good as well, of course.
Oh, Donk! Go fork it all of him.
Nope, just the 4K this time.
He's a little bit tough today, you know.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
Four K's with put-up in aces, I mean.
Only characteristic.
Online CS, that's what's heard.
Yeah, this true.
Ooh!
Stylish way for Gravit to leave the server.
Almost cinematic.
Holy moly.
Yeah, that was crazy.
I like the way you summarise that, though, Yanko.
It's like, what's typically a non-issue.
Like, it's like a minor discrepancy.
Instead, you get run down and a deagle blows your head off of the back of dice
and the whole round gets thrown into turmoil.
Of course, you know, I could sit here and say,
Okay, why is really max playing sight from the start of the round, but then you know they could play
More aggressive get one dig or if the T's rush connector you get caught out by the pace and you died
And you're like, why are you playing so close up against pistols? Right? So it really is a matter of
balance, but then also donkeys
The punisher simply and you're given an inch very often. He takes a gallon or whatever it is
That's how the same goes. Yeah, taking that you get a gallon
an ounce or all those weird stone all these measure
yeah stone one yeah I don't know why that's the thing but
we don't make much sense how much do you weigh three stones yeah but yeah but there's not a universal they're all the stone
there is isn't there I think isn't there a stone somewhere that is the stone
that's the stone where is it is it like in a museum somewhere I actually have no idea but
the I know that the a stone was is a unit of measurement it's like a x amount of
pounds well hopefully they kept it out of the rain otherwise it'd be a
little lighter today. Yeah, true. True. After the account for
a little bit of a geological joke there for you. Very nice.
Not enough people have brought that. But the geologist in the
chest loving it. He's scared. He's just lost a lot of
respect for the info. For all this conversation, he just
typed into Google. Where is the stone?
I thought he was gonna get the answer for what we were
talking about. I hope that that would happen because
Breaking off on Google.
There is the stone.
That did not work as I like it.
Yeah, shocking.
What?
What was the answer?
Where is the stone?
What did Google have to say?
Or any other search engine of your choice?
Any other, sir?
There's plenty of them out there.
Yeah, you who?
Jeeves is still around.
Jeeves, give him a question.
I'm not finding a place where the stone lives,
to be honest.
Lives.
Well, they got to be in habits of space.
Yeah, the living stone.
right here at long is basuda hides in behind it
do not get away that easy that's a good start
it's a great start why don't we use that start
that's more of a rock you know how to pet rock
yanko you have a pet rock
hi if i was making a list of members of talent that have pet rocks
Because of the boss so far down the list
Peaceful my bedroom really
Well
That we've moved on yes, yes measurements in the world
Yeah, but use the one you're familiar with yes
But you give don't care millimetre and he is going to take an inch. I'll take the only kilometer
Let's see what happens here
What is that?
Oops.
Oh, that's a bummer.
Hold on.
Try again.
That's a do, guys.
Just dropped heaven.
Yep.
We're over 4B right now.
Yeah, I'm gambling B.
I'm not ready.
Yeah, I have a feeling.
I have a feeling.
I have a feeling.
This round's gonna be a long one.
This round's gonna be a long one.
They've smoked bathrooms though.
That's a start.
That's the first couple of nades I've been thrown. How exciting.
Yeah, but they're not really applying any pressure towards A. I mean, no one is getting any info towards A.
They're just posted up at B, but the patient pays off, Makka kills his teammate.
Great shot there. That's a spectacular shot.
Enti.
I have that 5-7, me and Lucky.
Oh, yeah?
What do you call it, the Great?
I haven't named it. If anything, I'm just kind of...
It looks like a Bunsen burner.
Yeah, it's just a placeholder.
I've yet to find the Bunsen burner.
Yeah, the 570 really speaks to you.
The fairytale is quite nice.
The fairytale?
I don't even know what that looks like.
You're gonna have to look it up now.
I'm gonna go on that one, yeah.
Do you think if I just type fairytale into Google,
it will show me?
No, where is the fairytale?
Where is the fairytale? Okay.
I have the P250 Benjamin Franklin.
I bet you do.
You know me.
I always can afford one, Jason.
Always.
Okay, we saw that on the early days.
It landed on the bar.
That is actually quite a nice looking skin.
Yeah, yeah.
I love a good fairy tale.
She's got a unicorn, two unicorns.
Well, they're just ponies.
They're just pink ponies.
Come on now.
Pink pony club.
Pink pony club.
Oh, jail.
Sorry.
We've done a sing-along.
We've done one.
I think that...
This is the musical season.
They've got us like on in their living room.
That's true.
And we already ruined Christmas.
We can't, we can't.
We're not here, they didn't hire us to sing.
Sometimes it's what you get.
Sometimes it will happen.
You know, we all spend a lot of the time
with the microphone in front of our face.
We can't always be thinking before we speak.
No, it's important to sing.
No, we're singing.
Yeah.
It's such a banger too, though.
It is a banger.
Zantix is going to drop down the ladder.
These rounds can seem pretty easy.
You know, when you get a good read on the 3A
or sometimes even 4A setup, you can really break those defaults apart with relative ease
but it doesn't come without risks if your opponents do something towards B with more pace, well
there's only two players there to defend.
So maybe Spirit, a team not known for fast plays towards B, maybe 3D Max just felt
It's like they needed to take a risk with the buy that they had, no AWP in play, something
to give them an edge early on.
I think you've got plenty of edge for everyone.
That's funny.
That's good clean family fun.
Good clean family fun.
Yeah.
Great banter.
Halley, I feel like Halley almost told Zontex to die so he could speak during the
timeout. That was an instant timeout. He was keen to get on the mic. He really has.
Hurry this up, mate. I just don't want to watch you anymore. If I could just take this timeout,
it'd be great, actually. Someone in Twitch chat said, one stone is six to seven pebbles.
That's pretty good. That's not bad. That's good. For quick conversions. Makes you 28
I guess six or seven
Yeah
Yeah, I'm in the world. Oh
In the world the world
It's a huge claim
You check out though
Yeah, those are intelligent double thumbs up the Nate landed right where he wanted it easy to find for his comrades
Okay, a little bit of aggression mixing things in that's quite exciting. Yeah, they're gonna back away. No, so I mean we had that
We'll always have that all right. That was good. Yeah, and now because they did that
Spirit are gonna have to go through all the protocols of clearing all the space and it's gonna take another 40 seconds
After a while. Yeah, here we go
There's the mom by time to wrap all the way around to long get a little boost up on the flowers
So the first hole sign
Well, I don't know.
Some don't goes first.
It's like, yup, you go make sure the coast is clear.
I mean, the problem is they've already, the spirits already shown.
I mean, I'll be with pistols that they're just willing to walk up to the front of the
A-bomb site, right?
I think it's also because they know there's no AWP in play.
Yeah, that too.
Oh, that's not a kill you want to take at this point in the round.
Donk is going to turn the corner out towards Long.
The suit's up.
You're done, buddy.
And that is a fourth T-Side round for Team Spirit. Simple as you like, hold W, hold shift,
and find your kills.
Already looking really good on the T-Side here, building up a really strong scoreline.
An important three man save here for three maps to keep at least a shot into the next
round.
It's so weird, there's like some teams I feel like, overpass when I watched it recently,
like, references a couple of times. It's not like Paravision at the major hit the
B-bombs are like 12 straight rounds seem to do that in multiple overpass games every overpass game. I cast
Attacking a is so difficult. Like if you're spirit in this game, you're like, oh, we just gonna walk in
I've seen how far away it is. You know, like do we just get it? We just get it. Sure
You remember now Jason the MAT game and no up. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Sorry to make sense. No, Jason's law. Jason's law. Yeah, Jason's law
It's a good one
Can someone remind me what it is again?
Yeah, Jason's Law?
Yeah.
So, like, when you're in the kitchen, you've chopped up loads of cabbage and you've fermented.
Yep.
That's Jason's Law.
Did you have to plan for Jason's Law?
Sorry, I've actually broken the game.
I wanted that.
We took a tech boss so that the viewers can just sit in that one and enjoy it for
what it is.
Hence for men.
It was better than it should be.
That's how everyone is right now, they're on feels like lucky. Yeah, what's that hydrated? I
Didn't see he was just not in the stains. I just assumed you were taking a sip of his boy
He wasn't very well just staring into the abyss. Yeah
I mean the cut it does feel like you're staring at the abyss when you see you press tab and you just see oh
We plan against team spirit dogs got another top table performance. It was one more than they could predict it
Do you have a prediction for every pause?
You wanna try again?
Yep, dude, it's just...
19.
19, we've seen a few.
Use all seven right now,
it's gonna slow down a little bit.
Ooh, that's a tough prediction.
This guy's gonna slow down?
I know it's a wild guess,
but the stone told me so.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yep.
Consulted the magic stone.
So this pebble's aligned in a certain constellation,
and now we know.
Do we have any information what the tech pause is?
Just out of curiosity.
Yeah, I'm curious.
Can we get one of those?
Oh, okay.
He needs the bathroom.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, probably.
Understandable.
Want to play the association, or like, what's the, I don't know, we didn't have a title
for it.
You guys played on the other shift as well.
I think the, uh...
You name a nationality and name a nationality?
Pick a nationality and name as many Counter-Shark players as you can for a nationality.
Okay, that sounds fun.
What do you want to do?
Uh...
We did French and Brazil and American history.
And major winners yesterday.
And major winners.
Oh, okay.
uh... let's do
you've taken all the big ones there's a lot of big ones really
we can do anything you want to know i mean i like the idea
i mean if you name the clone winners counter strike players is an alternative one
how many of the full names like how many government names of counter strike players if i say a nickname
could you get
Oh, not many. Not many at all.
That's the U-thing.
That's definitely the U-thing.
You have that flavor of...
You make them human beings, I think.
I could get a good amount, I think.
Yeah? Okay, let's play.
Let's give it a shot.
Uh...
We'll start with Xist.
Richard Lansfrant.
Very strong. Now you give me one.
And...
Give him a Doja.
No.
Nitro.
Uh...
His Nick Canella.
That's correct.
Oh my god, that's so exciting.
What?
Oh, we just started!
The game just began!
We're right back into the action already?
Oh no!
Time really does fly.
Dammit!
Oh wow, I have the health issues over here.
Yeah, I'm glad he's back.
OK.
Feel better, gravity.
Yeah.
Let's get into it.
Another round.
Another overpass CT start.
Where did you go forward?
Actually, we've got a little bit of a long-aggress cooking.
ready to disrupt the default
you can see sure on a rifle though
or is it just going to be done it's just going to get set up
or just getting counterflashed and pushed
love that
wasn't ready lovely off angle behind the bin which works
a treat
now you peace out you don't want to give anything away
you need to get more you profit maca catches two backs turned
it's all coming up three d max
Okay, well, Shiro's gonna book it. Oh, this is interesting.
They'll hear these footsteps of him charging to the bomb site,
but they're gonna lose track of him. Now, the bomb is over on short.
They know where he's got to come to.
Oh, pick you from Zontics!
Anything else? Yeah, you do! Two on two, back away!
And remember, Shiro's got that creative... Oh, my lordy!
Oh, my gosh.
He got that as well.
It would have been way too much.
Way too much.
3D Max mean Falcons in French?
Yes.
Yeah.
I'll say it's a...
No variation.
Oh, Shiro, Zoltex has given you a chance here.
He has.
Oh, the timing of this.
Oh, step!
Step!
He made the step so he's instantly dead.
Twenty-five seconds.
Go, go, go.
Will he check?
Exceed.
No.
Good position at least, taking up that.
Yeah.
Rough off-angles to deal with, but bringing it to one from a two on four to a one on
one, that's a lot of damage done.
So I think you have no issues calling for the buy in this next round if you're
team spirit as you've got a chance to really really hurt this economy with the
win here. Yeah, this is the first time this happens to 3D Max in this half right?
Like these rounds are supposed to be much cleaner and great you won the round but
if you lose this one you're back to pistols. This is like second time as
well that a heavy A setup you know is breaking spirits play so last time
Sometimes the adjustment for Halle was still go away, but to use your utility a bit more,
be more thorough in the default and taking map control, and they were able to chase 3D
Max away and sort of walk up A. Now 3D Max sent even four players instead of three.
So I don't think the call is going to be, let's just do monster pop or something.
I think it's going to go back to, we're still going to default, but let's use our
utility.
They can, they can't act Jason's law here. They've got a T-side off, C-T-side has no AWP.
That is the first top on this map.
Yeah, I haven't seen much of it quite yet.
Especially when you think, you know, Mako is very fond of it, surprising how he hasn't been able to fly out.
They've got in some money issue. They haven't won two rounds in a row, so I think just economically they haven't been able to afford it yet.
That's a nice find from Xantix, almost grabs the second one, or at least some damage.
He is hitting his flow, isn't he?
Yeah, he's doing very well.
This time it was aggression towards the B side of the map from 3D Max, going for that fast water control.
Cost them a player though. They still had to fall back.
It also happened so fast where now there's a lot of time left on the clock for Spirit to start working the map.
Work the map, work the map.
And now Shiro's just looking to punish any kind of information play.
Anyone peeking anything, anyone moving up to kind of figure out where Spirit's at.
I think also you have to imagine 3D Max, I think this kind of like shift of three players
towards A is just by nature of Spirit being able to walk up and punish that A bomb set
a number of times.
There's Shiro, he's found it, 40 seconds on the clock and Spirit hasn't even committed.
They've thrown out some initial utility, but they don't have to finish here, they
got time still to work across the map.
Looks like it's going to be the finish though.
So I'm just going to throw these pillar flashes so his team can start to progress.
Gravity has vision, only for a moment.
Still important for Mack, and I still burst to the face to trade out.
Magic goes down, it's still just going to collapse for the CTs.
Such nice control, there was such a tempered approach,
there was no point like a burst of electricity,
they just kind of slowly, methodically grouped on B and walked on in.
Across both maps, Spirit is doing a good job on the T side of just freezing.
After finding an opening and in some of these mid rounds we're just waiting for their opponents to make a move and
Punishing these information plays
There's been a pretty straightforward work on your t-sides and back to pistols for 3d max back to the stone age
Where is the stone?
or a stone?
That is one of my favorite googles of all time. Where is stone?
Where were we before the stone?
Nowhere really.
Just building roads in Katarn.
Now we're just a bunch of stoneers.
Climbing up on top.
That's not going to help.
The chap feet were high all the time anyway.
Hey, would you know I'm in the middle of the stone?
You know, obviously.
I'm just feeding the chat conspiracy that we're all just absolutely cooked.
Oh, that's funny.
Brilliant.
I just stretched without caring the world there. That was an audible stretch.
Yeah. I feel like I'm at least a foot taller.
A foot? I feel like you're floating.
Where is the foot? Get googly.
Where is foot? Where is the foot?
Well, they just lost.
Well, they just strolled us earlier today.
Oh, they did?
Yeah, they did.
Spoilers, Jason, you know people like to...
You've just rode it out, man.
Well then, we're all going to get through this together.
All right, let's do it.
There'll be another first flawless game tomorrow or something anyway.
So OK.
Oh, that went sideways.
Yeah.
The hands don't work like that.
But it's all good.
It's a hide spin.
Knuckleball.
Knuckleball.
Don't know what that means.
It's a baseball pitch.
What's it?
What does it do?
It's the way it's a really good question.
I think the way the knocker goes through it.
Knuckles it's called a knuckleball because you hold the ball you grip the ball differently when you throw it
And then it puts like a spit on it
That's kind of hard to tell if it's gonna drop or where it's gonna go
So the batter it makes it harder to hit the same thing in football one soccer soccer
Yeah, dude, you've been in the US states for like six months, and now you're calling it
So I said football and I look at Jason. Okay, I said or soccer. Okay. I call it football more than I call it
So that's good. I do that for you guys. Hope that's pace. What we're getting a quick one
It's the USP!
You're stills! Double save!
Yeah!
S-A-V-E!
You ain't gotta come to me!
You're saving!
You're saving!
There's nothing to save.
It's nothing.
You can't save them now.
This is pure devastation.
And they've already got 17 rounds, so...
GG.
Yeah, I didn't want to say it, but...
Kinda.
Yeah, it does feel that way.
Kinda is.
The eye test doesn't help anything either.
I need one of those.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do.
A lot of y'all do.
go see your optometrist, Jesus.
Optometrist?
That sounds sick, we call him a lot of shit.
I'm glad you didn't say eye doctor though, Jason.
The eye doctor?
Yeah.
That's not even better.
But it is correct, isn't it?
He's a doctor for the eye.
He is an eye doctor.
Now I've got the save song in my head, Jason.
Yeah, it's not easy to easily manipulate eye eye.
You get sound stuck in your head like nobody else.
No, that's real.
real
I just want us to play one overpass game where we're all this patient
Do you think that's possible? Do you think we can get five commentators to play a real game of Counter Strike of
patience? Yeah. How much money? Yeah.
What are we fighting for? Pride. No.
It's pride that won't let me be this patient.
I don't know, tried that hard, you know.
Dude, Zontics is taking such good duels.
Yeah, but this is also like, this is also, I mean, this is just kind of dumb in a way.
Like, fight?
Okay, Jayce.
No, but like, both sides of the map, they're able to just walk in and get a kill and leave.
Yeah.
It's happened at A like three times, now Zontics can walk in to monster, grab a kill and dip.
It's like, what do you, what are you gonna do as a defensive?
The first point of attack is always just someone walking in and grabbing your kill.
And now you're fully committed to long bathrooms because Shira's got one side and Doc's gonna apply pressure on the other
So you're kind of dead too.
And it's 30 seconds so you feel like you need information.
Ooh, you're not dead.
You are.
Okay.
Still impressive sponge.
Oh wait, Spear want to go B.
They think there's gonna be a rotation. This is a mistake. Now you gotta run.
I'm...
Is there time? Nope, he's hesitated.
You gotta go.
Let's browse over.
This is so good from 3D Max.
He's got loads of money, but he's all good, he's got an extra kill as well.
He didn't account for that when you were predicting his final total, so.
No, that was the one.
Yeah, that's the actual one.
Don't push him, please.
Yeah.
Well, he only gets five kills for the rest of the game now.
That seems pretty unlikely.
It does, especially if 3D Max gets his last round, then you're going to need more
than five out of dark in the second so yeah it's all right not a tough not it's not an easy not an
easy prediction to make we're not gonna hold it against always definitely easy predict more than
19 just like Dean Quinn and I tower spirits off track of time there yeah I'm having a good time
sometimes ends in defeat
I lost my straw this early today God Rick good yeah like this word associations fun
right as soon as drop back to the A bomb site stack at the B bomb site for players here
Is it really that easy for the re-smoke?
Write that one down.
Love that.
Don't write that one.
Never mind.
You know what?
Definitely don't write that one.
I'm just going to delete that from the memory bank.
Yes.
Don't write that down.
Whoa.
That was a cool noise.
That was a cool noise.
Hey, cheese, aren't great.
Okay, magic season's nobody close to monsters.
Oh, gosh.
You just can't.
The hemorrhage is opening.
That whole play is just bait.
Take the peek for this for sure to get the punders. That was really cool from spirit. Yeah, that was actually sick
Footstep sound cues flashbang as well. Donk on the other side of the map is starting to push in towards bathrooms 40 seconds
This happened previous round and they ran out of time
God they are really really good at this slow pace. They're just like looking they're only looking to attack
They're like looking to punish now you have to attack with 25 seconds
set ups on takes perfectly they
pecan in and the bodies drop
eventually you have to fight and
spirit of taking all the time they
need just enough time to get into
that bomb site the suitor alone a
one versus three that he's not going
to get a shake of the stick out it's
eight to four spirit making a strong
case to start off the stage two
a star of pro league for them with a bat.
Get out of my way

Welcome back to ESL Pro League Season 23 Team Spirit looking for a 2-0 to kick off stage
First time we're getting to see them and they're looking good.
Obviously still dark, 16-4, just coming in hot to this season of Pro League.
And really, they had a really nice T-side. Very slow, 3D Max couldn't handle it.
Late rounds were an issue, Spirit now switch over to the CT side where it feels like they've got all the advantages in the world to close this one out.
And a lot of utility as well, all the utility in the world for magics.
They're all able to block that, mate.
It's very difficult for 3D Max, so we're heading out towards Fountain early.
Chiro's going to take some damage and fall back into the bathrooms.
In fact, I'm nearly getting caught just getting to the Vider and the Vattern.
He's just had been taking tap 1 on our immediate peek, but turns the flash and does go down with empty hands.
Back up. Important fight to be taken with Magik's there.
Oh, well, though. Still plants his feet, still gets 1.
Now just pushing through the smoke, taking their turn.
Today looking to stamp a second ticket can't do it
And now they're gonna back away and let that bomb go down play for that retake you got smoke on zon tix
It's still don't buy a bearing in mind 16 and 4 having an okay game
And okay, yeah, it's okay. Yeah, as we mentioned earlier. He's he's having an off day to have a nice could have
He hasn't been getting four. Oh, you needed that you really don't worry
You just often a long for the don't do was you know they're gonna triple swing
Oh
Can you see he has something on his oven off day? He's out of that. Yeah, should have got that one. Yeah, that was so winnable
In fact, he actually feels at all. He's so annoying. Such a threat
At all times at all times
Well, I'm it keeps him alive 3d max they are gonna hit you a little bit closer
Well thought talk almost rips it away at the end
and we'll go into the second round. It's investment from Team Spirit. MP9 for Moss, MP7 as well.
Get a little bit of new weaponry in there.
Oh, a little boost up.
About a minute.
Haven't popped the heads up yet.
Not yet.
Waiting. Holding.
He's just going to go for the jump.
So just in the headset
Doors opens might be time a little spot for information
There's the block delay smoke over towards monster to make this as disjointed as possible
Zontex is gonna creep up to play a little bit closer behind it
They're pre-amming it
Gravity's gonna have a very quick reaction headshot or at least a little bit of info
There you go.
He forces Magix away.
Now you are committing to this side, the close to the front, breaking the door.
Actually, it's Mac, leading the charge to the Mac 10, does very well.
Finds himself a double entry.
He spreads defense, collapses, and the second round force with nothing.
A single kill onto a Mac 10, and 3D Mac's closing Mac out.
Yeah, Xantix had plenty of nades.
He had HE, flash, and I think another smoke.
another smoke, I think just the timing of when 3D Max decides to pull that off and
to break the smoke and monster flashbang as well, catches him completely off-guard.
They had the opportunity maybe to lay that a little bit further, just couldn't
find the right opportunity to place it. So 3D Max keeping this close.
Sontics looks like he's a character in heat, you know, with that little background.
A little bit, yeah. I got you. Aesthetic.
Caps, they act all funny.
There he is, right?
They're doing the heat too, so maybe there's a roll in him.
Yeah, maybe he's gonna be, I mean, maybe if he wins another major.
You know, he's got to have a high enough profile to get in there in heat too.
There.
Oh, it's bother!
Well, today we're getting one back here in the 5-7.
That's pretty much damage Spirit can do in a round like this.
Should be pretty comfortable, though, for 3D Max, don't it?
How much damage spirit can do or how much damage can 3D mags do to themselves?
Wow, that's the longest range Mag 10 headshot I've ever seen.
He got it twice as well, he gushed him first and came back for the close.
I do.
That's a good Mag 10 sound, yeah.
Lucky, trying to live, covered nicely, Mag is having a great time with his Mag 10.
Stabilizing his kill total.
Mag 10 in the game of Counter Strike is some of the most fun you can have.
I agree.
There's not many other weapons that are going to give you the same fun vibe.
And I always know I'm going to have less fun in the round when I'm buying Galil Kev.
You know, I'm like, oh.
Man, I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, spend some time in the deathmatch on your Galils.
It's underrated.
It's like a siege.
Get your Galil up to snuff.
Mactam drive by.
Awandig.
Yeah.
Oh, they're up there.
USP headshot.
USP.
I'd say a Burstfire Glock, but those are pretty much impossible these days.
You couldn't tell you the last time I hit a Burstfire Glock.
1.6 a good burst fire Glock
Pretty good better than a deal better than a deal better than a deal
Whoa, that's I must have been good. It's curious cancer. No, no, I'm not saying the burst fire was better than a deal
I'm just saying we're satisfying all sad to achieve that. Yeah, I mean understandable
So it was it was still quite niche back there. No, you could use a lot. Yeah, you're running into the site on burst
No, but if you're jumping around a corner you're bursting. Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense
If you're close up
You're bursting from us you're bursting
In 1.6
Night out, Dink was burstin
You drink four liters of water, you burstin
Burstin makes me feel good
We are not a musical channel
I will reiterate
How hard it is to not sing whiskey sour every round
I've been holding it in
All I want to be
Roll it back one more time
All right eight to seven we got the guns back out lock in are you locked in?
I'm locked in round 16. Shiro's alps out. It's an important round. It's a round that deserves to be locked in for yes
Tinko
Over to you
All right
Well indeed like you said Jason around that we all must be locked in for it is a bit of a bonus round here for 3d max
If loads of money so they will be buying in the next round regardless of whether or not they win or lose this round and
And they've got a Mac 10 for Macken as we all know that's the most fun position to be in in counter strike
So let's see what he's able to do with it
Taking it for a spin over towards the playground also a fun place to be
Drive-by is going to be difficult in this round against the M4s in the off
There's three players that head armor though
So if you do get in the situation easily can come out on top and a bathroom setup. It's a classic
It is indeed a classic especially with dog in that area with the smoke fading soon
and Donk will have some targets coming at him.
Gonna be coming in from the long bathroom side though.
They got Shiro, who's waiting with the AWP,
so this is a scary duo to have to deal with.
Donk and Shiro, same position, and then on the clock,
and 3D Max completely committed towards the A side of the map here.
I don't know if they have the utility necessary to deal with this setup.
They don't. One flash on gravity, one smoke on X-Roses.
Those are those bathrooms players.
Toneer's rotated as well, and he's gonna be flashing and jumping over the SWAT truck,
You're actually seeing how many players are long. You'll see a lot of utility, so realize there's plenty of players attacking from long side.
But Dorcas stayed focused in his endeavor. It's just a single-fry crit reaction from Shiro, who goes back again, but it's Magix with the 3K lineup.
Shiro tagged that through the wall, and I just cleaned it up. That's nasty. That's a great sequence from Shiro. I know it's only one kill, but it's great work, yeah.
Call it a gathering because Magix has arrived to the A-Bombside triple kill
as the rotator player that was absolutely massive from him first gun round
bonus or not, he gets the damage, throws the spell
Are you good?
Whatever happens, I don't know anything about MTG
No, I appreciate the effort
That was really good
Yeah, flawless
Donk has decided he's had enough
And so push is up forward supported by the shiro wall for the playground slip. I like that they're playing buddy system
Yeah, like I've had enough of you'd enough. Yeah, bro. All right, let's push
I mean to be fair when you're making a list of you know a defensive duos donk shiro is strong
horrifying strong
That made
Gives the indication that there's some aggression from the CG side yet to discover
They might think it's only this up on shiro. Do you really think shiro does that on his own?
I don't think knowing the player you would anticipate him to be with our company
And so with donks now revealed his forward position gravity's boost dismantled by spotted by the barrels
Oh, this is a nightmare for 3d max you wanted to have some presence towards a you can't even get past playground and fountains
You wanted to boost up try and find a cheeky pick you get forced away from that. They're already looking for it
This might be all you have is this execute
In a minute as well
Well, we're going to walk in.
Perfect position for you all to be in.
God, just disnails it.
Positionally sound, as always, from Shiro.
Now, all of you were trying to avoid.
Yeah, he's already on feet.
Yeah, he was just up in playground as well.
Yep.
Very frustrating for the T-Sat this round.
I thought you almost felt like there's no option.
There's an AWP on both bombsites.
That's what they're realizing right now.
The Axers is already in the dunce corner.
corner he's staring into the wall he's like all right all right guys we tried
everyone come back to you spawn let's chill have a pow wow double digits for
team spirit yeah got the barbecue going whip up some Jason's law yeah just get
a bunch of Jason's all over the place
That was such a sincere joke of course.
I'm not Jason, it's Cole Slaw.
Cole Slaw is gross.
What? Cole Slaw is gross?
What?
Good Cole Slaw?
It's only good on a pulled pork sandwich.
Okay, so conditional hatred.
Outside of the pulled pork sandwich.
Get it out of my face.
Okay.
What makes it marrable with the...
It's the texture change need a little bit of crunch a little bit of resistance on a nice
You're not supposed to just scoop it like strange amount you kind of make a mouth
I don't know. I'm seeing I'm seeing people scoop close a lot of their mouth. I do
That's me, but that's not like everyone's doing you can do that's an option
But like carrot sticks put them in there Jason get a little crunch. I don't like carrots either. Whoa
All right, I'm learning so much about you.
Also, I think there might be a contributing factor
to your hatred for Coleslaw.
It could be up there.
I don't know if you guys realize this,
but Jason isn't really a big fan of food.
I mean, the guy eats once a day.
What if we put a camera in the drink?
Not every time.
It's something solid.
Like, he'll just have a shake for the day,
and that's it.
That's crazy.
The liquid man.
He's just committed that hard to liquid.
The only reason I work out is so I can eat.
That's a nice connection.
Oh, that looks like a perfect mate.
Oh, I love it.
Magix doesn't.
3D.
Still going to get past them.
Zontics is going to be a hard man to get past.
Slightly deeper with his smoke there,
and it's going to be easy to push through.
Important from Teneir, stabilizes, brought down,
run through from gravity, doesn't have the ammo.
Goes on down, and it puts him to the later rival
of Masuta, and it does feel difficult.
Bond's so far away, you'll have to go and pick that up.
That might be a tell that 3D Max has when they throw
those HEs they tend to just go be right after because cavalry came in quick fast
oh it's so unfun, unfun for Misuta here and they're playing it smart
all right but now you show he's got a why you were brought in to replace body Misuta
this is where you prove your worth oh this is mean yeah it's the perfect
and you know you know he's hitting this you're not gonna pre-flight this round
specifically oh it's mean all bang to finish do you even let him plant oh you
You run it in, you run it in, and you kill the child!
Woohoo!
Oh, they pulled that off, I have to say.
Body wound, they got a single kill there with Yankel.
Yeah, aura plant, fair play.
Yeah, that's why they brought him in there.
Get the bomb plant.
Damn, respect for the attempt on the 1v2.
That felt impossible.
It did come down to just the control of the spray there.
Surprised he got that flight there.
I'm surprised they weren't...
Dark was as the second player, wasn't ready for that other swing.
You know, Shiro's gonna have the front covered?
Off day.
Man, we said a couple of 4Ks instead of Aces.
Yeah.
Normally he starts every turn on with an Ace, you know.
Oh, no, no, no, no!
I can translate that for you.
I like French disappointment.
Oh, my brother.
French disappointment's fun to listen to.
Frere!
Whisk!
Nope, don't do it.
We're not a musical channel.
We're not a musical channel myself.
We're not a musical channel myself.
You did great.
The vocal statement's incredible though.
I can't stop.
Yeah, I'm broke.
You're stimmin'.
Yeah, I'd be stimmin'.
I don't know my fidget spinner.
Where's my Nerf gun?
Yeah, you need something.
It's way away.
Your phone blaster?
Really?
Yeah, it's alright.
Yes, my phone blaster.
I'll be blastin' foam,
if you know what I'm sayin'.
Yep, that's a subtle when you end up
for shootin' in this phone gun.
Yep.
6 out of 10 men suffer from it.
Important round, obviously!
I've just had three out of five.
Or you're gonna say 1.5.
It's better that it gives you the immediate percentage doesn't it?
You just know.
You finally have to think.
Don't think about it.
I don't do much of that.
Yeah.
That's the problem though.
Those people are thinking too much, Jason.
Yeah.
I think we should all stop thinking, that's what I think.
Where is Stone?
Please be at two rows.
Please for the love of God.
We need to leave.
It's gonna be a squirted off the premises.
Oh dear god.
Oh la la la la la, mon frère.
Ça va bof.
Bof?
Bof.
Raspiv?
Raspiv.
Chococorote.
Chocococorote.
How are all stimmen?
It's nice.
This is rough.
Is it?
Or is this done for much longer?
He's gonna get four kills.
He's gonna get four.
Oh, he's so blind.
Oh, Donk.
Oh!
That's why 2D Max played from the side.
Oh, no, he's here.
Hello, referee.
Quick spin.
Come on.
Let's go.
Oh!
Okay, today we've got one as well.
Riven, look at those angel wings flying in to the savior right now, Tenir.
We've now got Lucky and Macca trying to make this happen to prevent Spirit from going to Ceres Point.
Oh, that's a beefy name.
Oh, it is.
Roastbeef right there on the grenade, and now we've got Lucky clearing the angle.
Oh, down to Macca.
From roast beef to curtains for 3D Max!
That's gotta be show over now! The show has gotta be over!
They've got the curtain call!
I don't get that.
That's probably fine.
Someone will explain it to me in 3rd chat.
One minute from now.
Give me four minutes.
You guys expand that to me.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Moving on!
I'll talk to you after the show, Simon.
I'll come back to you.
Moving on to the end of the game now.
I don't know.
Spirit.
Well, what do you want?
You know what a game it would be.
Talk about a pulled pork sandwich.
Put some coleslaw on it, because this one is making Jason
puke.
Because the thought of food makes a thing.
How do we recover from that?
We're just praying for a 13-7 to the stone.
To the stone.
wherever it is
wherever it may be
couple of pebbles
sold it
three max have the play with it
don't hang it out of worst halt
maybe the best
it might be a hole in his head with this flashbang swing
blinded
okay it's blind
oh my there's no one you can't lose the fight to him
Alright.
Well, two rounds now, 3D Mags have...
Is Donk just the Russian Gizmi?
In a way.
So, does he eat New Till?
Can't turn from a Flash?
Sure.
I don't know what Sin's Donk's on.
Anyone know that?
No, but I've seen him turn from Flash in the past.
He's got it in his game.
Just a straight one.
Maybe he's trying to let Nerf himself a little bit.
Giving them a chance.
I'm gonna try and play this game without turning from Flash Banks.
22 and 11 for him.
Alright, Magics.
The Baba Yaga, ready to go, there's the peek out, he's got the kill!
Oh yeah!
That is exactly what you expect from Magix, and he's close to that with his Antex.
13-7, it is Spirit coming to Pro League and winning a 2-0 game versus 3-max to kick things
off, looking good, largely in charge, and obviously coming into this event, we talked
about it, Spirit have got to feel like their favorites for the competition.
Yeah, certainly a team you've got to look at the list here in stage 2 and say without
Vitality, without Falcons, this is a team that should be looking to go all the
way to the grand finals. Nice first showing from them. 3D Max, a little bit of resistance
in the first one, overpass felt out of their wheelhouse, but still on that improvement grind.
I do think it's exciting to see Spirit picking into overpass and you're seeing a lot of polish.
I think that T-Side in particular left me impressed. Then you catch that.
I think we're going to come in vision for a short.
And then we're going to go highlights and then we're going to go to brick.
Well done. Thank you, Simon. Appreciate that, man.
That's what Simon says, and we always do what Simon says.
It's a fun, it's like we get to play that game every single day, we're always hanging out, playing games.
And you also have to remember it's been a month since we've seen Team Spirit play last time in the final of Crack Hall, right?
They skipped Cluj, obviously they don't have to play in Stage 1, and this will be online only for now.
still give you a nice sort of inkling into what they've been working on, how will they
look on the ITAS, how polished will they be in terms of team play, you know Dong's
going to be Dong, Shiro's going to be Shiro and all this stuff, but you know
some of the things that they needed to iron out, how will that be looking
going into the playoffs potentially, hopefully. When you think about
the competition, the lay of the land for stage two, I think Spirit front run is
absolutely. The Fury at Caviar obviously something we've covered already but they are also in attendance.
In any case you joined during this game Fallen will not be in the playoffs, even if Fury make it Fallen is unable to come to playoffs that's the
Furious situation. So that's the other reason why it's like okay spirit here you go come get it roll up
come on roll up come on. You can call the 3D Max put up a better fight than you expected considering they sort of got gifted there's
There's bots in stage 2?
Uh, yes, absolutely.
Um, I think that first map was a little bit closer than I thought, but the heavy, heavy favorites did prevail.
What if Makka didn't crash the one round?
Uh, still would have been. Still would have been a sparrow one.
Yeah, well, that would be an interesting thing to go back and replay and see how it went.
If you guys have any thoughts on Makka...
Maybe we can replay it right now.
Makka might have been able to help 3D Max win that map if he didn't crash.
You can let us know how you feel about the situation.
Email us at the DHLmailbag at efg.gg.
Get your questions in. Get your thoughts in.
Please do.
And honestly guys, we're not just saying this.
The mail bag has been kinda thin so far.
So you all need to step up.
Yes, you, I'm talking to you.
Get involved, we've got the fun bunch up next.
Yeah, the fun bunch are up next.
They're gonna need some mail.
They all need some mail, you know?
They need material.
Henry likes to rummage in the bag.
Henry's a big fan of a good rummage.
Yeah, he doesn't want to be left holding it.
But he does like to read it.
Yes.
Yes.
But he will take it back.
He will.
He will.
He will.
Who won't?
Who won't?
Guys, I'm excited.
What's that?
We're ready for break.
Oh, wonderful news.
Please get us out of here.
Day continues.
See you later.
Goodbye.
Fun bunch up next.
Have fun.
G2 phase.
Yeah.
Woo!
La.
Oh, shit.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
I ain't got that silver.

Oh gee, I like it, it's nice, we've got some mood lighting.
the sun comes up and the second shift
enters the duty of ESL Pro League's 23rd season.
They were calling us the Fun Bunch.
I kind of thought they were the Fun Bunch.
I think everyone's the Fun Bunch in a way.
It encapsulates all of us together.
It's a combination, really.
I wasn't formed the Bar was high.
Upon leaving Alex, let me know,
he said that was one of the best days of all time.
What a human history.
I just, I don't think he's ever...
He's very dead.
He said the bar's very high,
we've got to bring our best fun.
All right, I'm not feeling that fun today.
I feel a little bit disconnected from the group.
I didn't come to the gym this morning. I want to apologize.
You were invited. I know.
There was even a message.
Yeah. I didn't come with you though. And I felt like you guys have bonded and I'm not part of the group.
Well listen, here you go. He had a tough night of sleep. He still came. He shook it off. That's not to shame you.
It's just a heat battle.
What I'm saying is you could have.
I got given a new stack. Okay?
I took some new magnesium last night.
I put my bed and I was told you could have great sleep.
But you might have really interesting dreams.
I had really vivid nightmares so I actually had a terrible night.
So that's my excuse. Not a good one.
I didn't want to any nightmares you want to share with the class. No, they're not safe
for broadcast. Okay.
Benching today. Big down the bench. PR for Chad.
Today. Yeah.
PB. 102. Yeah.
Just doing one rep max. Unbelievable.
I can't believe it.
You brought us away.
I definitely have. I keep eating.
I can't stop.
May they say, you know, the wages keeps coming on.
But listen, gentlemen, we've had a lot of feedback.
It's stage two. Okay.
It's time for you guys to take things a little more seriously.
Oh, that's my favorite. I love being seen.
We love this series.
Beast Room have done it again.
They've done it again.
It is tough, but that's the way she goes.
Alright.
Henry, do you know you can't say rough twice in a row?
Rough, rough.
Dog.
I'm a dog.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm okay with that.
See, there's no fun.
The fun.
The fun.
The fun.
Alright.
We've got FaZe.
FaZe on the server.
That's fun.
FaZe are fun.
You like FaZe?
I enjoy watching them.
last season. Don't we boys? Let's go back in the time capsule to think about what was happening with face clan last EPL. It was kind of a rollercoaster wasn't it? This man, Rain, he'd been removed from the team and twisted come in. They had Jacob and they needed to call him up, didn't they?
Well, they forgot what roster they timed up. They didn't realize that they weren't actually allowed to play with that roster. So Jacob kind of just got, you know, would it be a bench if you're with the team? If you're walking around? It's like kind of a mobile bench.
It was quite sad that Jacob had to sit in the green room essentially watching every single game.
He was in the full track suit as well.
I thought he'd be a bad friend, but I broke the team.
You want a coffee?
Can I get you a water?
Massage, mate. Shall we get you more?
You got to do that with Sennig, right?
They did it, and then they played the third place to Cider again.
So, well, what a time to be alive.
Yeah, but their results, more missed than hit, I'd say.
Not so good.
Well, that's one really good one.
The major finals are good. What a net!
Yeah, you can't really argue with that.
Nah, you can't. But they are on a downward slide.
I feel like that's the thing though, Chad.
Them getting second the major was almost the worst
and it could happen for this roster because then you're like,
oh no, this can actually work out.
But you look at all the other events, all the other stats,
that's the anomaly. It's a great anomaly.
They've been taking the wrong stats.
They got them right where they want them.
This is whatever, you know, this is the phase classic.
You're meant to have fully given up and then right when you were out.
They pull you back.
Pull you back.
Have you fully given up?
Harry never gives up.
I mean, they are totally done.
Oh really? No, I'm the 7. I just wanted to quote that.
This isn't their first online game of the year. If you remember how it started,
we saw a phase losing to J-Dubs in the big 2026 off the top of the year against
eyeballers 2 to 1, 0-3 loss.
Key things have to happen for phase to get good again.
Twist has to get rid of the facial hair.
Oh, I think it slows him down.
That's the trend.
Yeah.
You think of his more aerodynamic, he'll be after.
You guys remember smooth twists.
That's what we used to call him.
Did we?
I don't know.
Guys remember him right he was really good. Yeah, but I don't he's still really good
He's still doing very well. He's facial hair. I don't know. It just feels like it's slowing him down, though
Well, you got a beard is it slowing you down? Yes
What would happen for you to get rid of your beard I know get really ill need something
That would make the hair fall out to fix it. How did we go straight to that?
That's it.
I'm not touching this.
I'm not getting rid of mine.
Okay.
At least you can grow on me.
So, yeah.
It was coming in all right.
It's better than it was.
You need a goat.
You had a beard.
I can't grow a beard.
Kind of a full beard.
No.
You have like the horseshoe thing.
So, you're high T Henry.
I am.
I think too much.
Too much.
That's the problem.
Wait till I drop the scale.
Let's go everywhere else.
Yeah, exactly.
You started sporting some hair.
You've gotten way slower since you did that.
What are you talking about?
I don't think the facial hair has anything to do with the beard.
I'm going to put that on the record.
That's okay.
Yeah, it probably isn't twist fault either.
I would say the most interesting head-to-head jewel in this matchup.
Oh no.
Creampires versus Broke.
Oh, damn.
That's worse.
Well, that wasn't the way I was going to frame it, but like both of them not necessarily
performing at the top level right now.
Broke is not mine.
That was really good.
Broke you up.
Broke you up.
No, for God's sake, some pirates are sometimes really good, but right now, the conversation is they're both not very good.
What if we have Twitch chat, count the misses?
That would be great.
Maybe we can get a graphic going on the side or something like that.
Oh, a little graphic?
Yeah, it'll be fun.
It'll count some.
Yeah, because we do say, you know, we love a good deal.
We have Armit now, right? As our producer.
We do.
Armit, can we do that? Can we have a little miss graphic?
Oh, fuck, we might get in some heat if we do that.
Oh.
No, we're just collecting data.
He's weighing it out.
Who?
He's digging about it.
It's why.
try and manually track ourselves. Wait, wait, you want to count all the missed shots? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Might be too hot. Might be too hot. No, this ain't that hot.
Might come across as bullying. It's game one. What are you talking about?
Bullying. We're just actually reporting. You can't bully them.
Harry's really one of my ideas. Yeah, no, I'm trying to be a nice guy. I'm trying to
put the rod in the water. Harry, you put the rod in the water, you go, oh no,
Shit! We caught a fish!
We caught a fish!
We caught a fish!
Okay, we can do it. I'll play along.
I'll do my best to count them.
I don't want it to be known as my idea.
I don't want it to go like Henry's.
Don't put that down on the record.
Strike that from the record.
Who's done it for your money right now?
St. Pires or Brokeie? Who do you prefer?
Don't be too mean.
In the nicest way you can.
For me, Cream UP, because I think what he offers as a support, stable, he's always landed,
he's never missing a smoke or a flash. I think that he sets up his rifles well.
Okay, I like that. But Brokey, if he's reaching his peak, more excited, more flash,
you've got to win your maps, but not sustainable for a team all the time.
I think they both can be flashy.
But Brokey hits the no scope. That chees everyone out, man. They're all feeling
good when he does that.
phase notoriously feeling good at the moment
They should their phase every vlog goes over the channel our worst tournament ever what it is every title
It's just like what it is and that's from there can't it's not from our camp
What if it's because the viewership was good on the first ones they were like fellas
Everyone's loving the why are we so bad content?
That's what a phase began really true back in the day
I'm expecting absolutely dead. I'm expecting good things from phase this tournament
I don't know why that's it. That's your take
It doesn't support me. No it doesn't nothing. He's had more time, but I support phase
Yeah, they have had more time. Can we just check in with little guys? So he's feeling today rush
Low-key. Hey feeling. Hello
How are the vibes how's the energy rush everything good feeling a lot better today honestly no pain
Which is the key part? How's the stomach doing stomach? We did eat a kebab pizza last night. I'm not gonna lie
With that it was pretty good. It was pretty good. I'm not gonna lie
But I was in my bed last night and I could hear some like rumblings going on. Yeah, so I didn't love that
This morning just a couple of visits this morning and it's all solved, you know
I'm right there with you. I'm my stomachs and bits, but yeah, it's a fun spin on oven pizza
Then bed rough is it was that pizza them bad
Yeah, that's a good video for us.
Mirage will be the third map of the series.
Everybody so if I guess we do have a brawly one,
it's just hasn't put the logo on the screen.
He didn't listen to our advice.
So he doesn't have to.
It's just advice.
Oh, there we are.
30 camera glances.
10 nice teams.
My stand up.
How's it?
How do you chair?
Yep.
You're around the side.
Let's see what we got.
You guys are kind of the biggest car again fans ever.
Yeah, true.
That combined Henry,
These guys are actually like full they're their friends they know him they can call him by his ruin. You guys are friends
I know Finn. You've met him? Yeah, everyone do his house. We were we were
We were joking about that. I got invited to his wedding. Did you go? I was we were working when it was on
And I think what I was doing like Valor also. We were in Rio. We were in Rio
That's the way my baby ladies and gentlemen at stage two. Hey, this smells at me
A1, A2, FaZe Clan, I don't know who's going to win.
I actually don't have a clue.
G2, they did not look great in stage 1.
What about Madis on Dust2?
He was fantastic, but the team was still struggling, bro.
Madis was juicy yesterday.
Ooh, what have we got?
Is he doing a short smoke as well from this position?
He's done it up.
He is.
See, he's been in the lab, bro.
He has been in the lab all week.
FaZe are winning pro league.
You heard it here first.
They're going to start off O2, so this series probably was.
This is interesting.
He's going to cross and slide with things up and it's looking very comprehensive for G2 here.
Mab's getting stuck in as well to the action. It's a clean sweep so far.
Brokey 1 on 5. What have you got?
Come on, Brokey.
Surprise! They're missing.
Pretty peep. It was actually a deep CT smite, wasn't it?
So, 2 for the cross.
Does they want to go through this spawn or do they miss?
I don't know.
Jay, what'd you say?
I think they missed this mark.
Oh.
Because there was a mark so I went like alpha-ish.
Harry, look at that, they've even put your cock chair out there, mate.
Yeah, they always do.
That's nice.
The service here is incredible.
Alright, that was a pretty bad stuff for Faze.
See, Mattis yesterday, you boys probably have missed it
because you were on the earlier shift with the Fun Bunch.
But he was owning, and then he came on the interview
and he was like, still self-critical as I really was.
He really was.
He's blaming himself.
It's like, bro, you had nine kills over two pistols.
He won like two on five.
Several punches.
What do you mean?
I'll play a bit of photo.
Oh, here we go.
This takes me back.
Harry, you're into regular sport.
can you do us some football
commentary now? Uh, to Chris
cross. Always got a foot like
attraction engine. It's just a
phenomenal game. A beautiful
game here. It's Davi David.
That's his name. David rather
frozen David. Oh, cool. Onto
They've had an awful lot of possession in this one.
I don't know what else they say.
I don't watch football.
Because they're parking the bus.
They're parking the bus.
And it's...
Oh, it's going out long first.
My impression of that accent is just Doran's impression.
I'm doing an impression of Doran doing an impression.
Okay.
Where are they sending the ball?
Down the...
Up shore.
Oh, it's hot in the air.
Oh, the boys.
It's up.
They're gonna up the stairs.
They're gonna get it down there.
Oh, can they finish the job see face? They know content boys whose house it may be this house
They know content the ball
Don't forget the ball
I've never seen anything like it. They've dropped the ball
The ball has made it all the way to balls on these guys. Mr. Cream with the Julees creamy big
They're lactose intolerant
It's gonna be a fun game. Okay, that's happening. It's gonna be a lot of fun here today
It's a lot of passing here for phase
Do that little run the carragans in not only does he have that sick like sound dampening walls stuff behind him the
Stop his yellows and comms leaking out, but there's all trophies in there too all the trophies
Well, you've been in his house you've seen it before
Yeah, I've seen the trophies.
Well, what grounds are you at his house for?
I'm like, just to go visit.
Broke it!
Yeah, every window is a door.
Oh, we have fun. What a throwback. You know, all the old world, all the throwbacks, all
the old jokes. So it's all going to be coming full circle here today.
We do have a gun round. All for round three. You got the Jullies out round two, all round
three.
Bring me peas, not messing around. MC loves this. Yeah. MC was telling us a new strap.
This is good, Matt. So you ready for this? CT side. Solo Q, Stratomorad. You
full eco the pistol right you keep the 800 you lose the pistol you get a 1900 right next round you buy nothing you lose
the next round 2400 add that together what's the maths
5400 you buy the third ground AWP with the Kevlar your teammate drops you the HE break the window smoke you get the picket
mid Wow that is worst case sorry 5400 that's no kills that's no plan
Yeah, 50, 50, 100, 50, 100, yeah.
But if you get 7 kills from your teammates,
Yeah, if you get some kills, if you get 1 kill,
5,400.
Okay.
Or the math system, very well-heeled.
Famous boys.
He's on form on Dust2.
He looked really confident.
Bad dog matters, left-handed lunacy we're calling him.
Oh, we really are.
Frozen, you got no chance.
I'm gonna say rough twice.
Rough, rough.
Good boy.
Oh, fuck.
Hahaha.
Park node by in this one.
Oh, is it?
Hang on.
I'm turning back.
try. Some pirates hit the shot. Yeah, we're also doing this new angle and a team that's losing.
They're giving it their best. They're giving it their best, you know, it's a good attempt.
They're trying. We're going to try and compliment them only when they lose.
No negative attitude today. Okay. Okay. Oh, it's not about those missed shots.
A new meta phase. Did a great job in that round.
We got three kills. That'd be available five. Great idea is
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
No, that's not good, that's not good.
I'm fucking nice, I'm sorry.
They're feeling it today.
They're feeling the energy.
Asked today too many negative comments.
Henry, can you do an example of the negative comments?
From G2.
Yeah.
Um, that's, oh no the way he said it was, they were not talking about themselves.
They were like, what the fuck are these guys doing the noobs?
That sort of thing.
And it kind of is like one of those things, like, okay, if they're noobs, and they're
doing shit stuff, let's just beat them.
Exactly.
Let's not stop them.
Let's not stop them.
This is actually where I would say it's not scary, I suppose, but let's not focus on that.
Oh, they're so stupid, they're good, are they?
Yeah, I hate it when people do that.
Every time I saw a talk, he was like, listen, boys, this is the last time out.
If you guys keep doing the negative comments, I'm going to turn this car around.
All right, it was he was being very stern.
Like that.
I don't need to.
I need to go to the jump spot.
However, oh, how was that a kill?
Well that is good teamwork flash comes in creamy pee he's there to play
Let's look at very comfortable
G2 off to a fly up clean round so far on
Player left should be the clean sweep the car again does take one to the grave with him cream sweet
Cream sweet as it were and we go for zero
Brush is very sticky broke. He's got an old now zero. Yeah, there's glare you got to close the blinds mate
We've already talked about this the blinds should be closed at all times who was that frozen that was frozen
I don't know who's went to interesting shorts there felt like you know he's about to start rolling
Preserve your jiu-jitsu or something
Yeah, I could long shorts
Combat shorts
Long shorts
It's a new YouTube thing they're trying to watch long shorts
to it. Okay, what have you got?
A shot again.
Oh, man. Push up towards short.
Broke you to cover with the ball, man.
Broke you to open things up.
It's his first frag speaking about this.
Why there's the first miss of the day.
Got wiggled on the board.
Have a couple of reasons for this.
He got wiggled.
As we know, we don't like the jigglers.
No, I believe.
Heard about this from Afro.
Yeah.
That bro was not like, oh he was a fan, I guess, because he's the one to kill.
So keep jiggling me. I'll kill you.
Careful now, Maddus.
Oh, well, that's a mess, but it flashed off, you know, he took the shot, good at him.
And that's even better. That's a hit.
Very nice. Very flash.
Oh, so good. Absolutely cream pie down there.
What a well-oiled machine.
I know, FaZe, what a sick idea, like...
I know it.
Oh, it hasn't worked out for them, but you can't lie to them on the ropes there for a moment for sure
And if frozen only kills a couple of moments earlier could have been around so in another universe
That was around not in this one
Anyway, did you know back at efg.gg excuse me email through ask rush some questions ask Jraz MC
arm it
Ask if you really want, but you know let's mix it up.
Yeah. I want the others to have to answer some questions.
Me too. So Max loss bonus, no plant in 5 consecutive rounds. We have no kills yet on the J Cobb.
We have 1 kill for Brokey, Twist and Carrigan and 4 kills for Frozen which have all been in vain.
Because the rounds have been over when he subbed to get in the frags.
These are the kind of rounds I like, Chad. Tech nines, couple of deagles in the mix.
If it was a major Henry I'd be with you.
Yeah.
No, like this, but this is fine. They're gonna go over two down and then they're gonna be in the final
That's the phase one and spirit. Yeah phase spirit
It's like
You know for now just enjoy the show. Oh, I'm loving it. I
Mean even now this is a good idea, right?
We're just trying to bring a positive vibe to the house
There's a lot going on at the moment
You go and I think that a positive spin will make all the difference great overall. That's a great boy job
Come on. You know, we've got a little execute coming in a boy. We do an avant-garde. Where are the mollies gone?
Is it goose is it ramp is it site?
Is it for rotation smoke down CT?
Smoke down shore 40 seconds on guard
Here we go. Sure
That is it.
Yep.
Some pirates not missing right now, 7 of 1.
Long patrol spawn taking.
Here we go.
Here we go.
That's what I needed.
Oh, it's a crazy tech 9 dink, but another swing shot.
Pistol out and some pirates survives for that retake.
It should be fine.
Right?
It should be fine.
No way of knowing for sure.
As long as some pirates doesn't die, the two players will come through short
and they'll just sweep this one under the rock.
He's looking locked in that's what we want to see really big
Green is back on the table
Six to zero the bomb planted in his chair the reference maximum loss bonus. I assume an AWP were coming out
Maybe a tactical timeout. I think one of those be nice. I think that's good to call that near because the eco the one
Nah, he needs to call this one just to get the team
Co-operate my record last season Hugo when I'd call tactical timeout
Record great can he keep the street gala?
He knows the game, so wow.
Great work.
Do you know back in Henry and my day, guys, they used to deliver milk, and we used to come
with these little glass bottles and then leave it out in the step.
We didn't get it in time.
A milk man, yeah.
We'd actually bring it along.
It would turn into cream.
Oh, it would boil.
That's not going to be too long.
It's good information.
The real milk fans will hate that.
It doesn't really make sense.
You just go to the supermarket and buy it.
Why do we need someone to deliver it?
It's just an old thing carried over from our parent generation.
I guess so.
It was always good though.
Why did the milkman always come inside and speak to your mum though?
That was a special thing to do.
I had an assistant.
So, Neo, what have you got for us?
What's the change up here?
We've got...
This is an Insta from Twist.
Looks like him.
So, smoke down, double doors.
Yeah, look down for you.
Three towards B. I think we're calling something out of spawn in our chat.
Could be I wasn't said be popular maybe a mid to be not enough players in the upper tones
Henry learned the device flashes today very happy did the powerful right love the device an easy lineup as well
Maybe we'll show the people at home the device. Well, they wish they are really good
Molders my flashes he doors smoke
I think that's super matter. I think phase will throw them here
This is a good counter to a beat. He's gonna play ahead of this. He's playing ahead or into parakeet. Oh, I stop
Man, why'd you walk in?
Okay, Karagam.
Speed.
Aggression.
Violence.
Karagam's got the hope
that I'm anticipating this smoke push
in towards B we go with the CTs.
Very, very comfortable indeed.
It looks like another convincing victory here for G2.
We've got Brokey already considering the save here.
A minute on the clock, you'll see if Twisk can find any sort of entry point.
But, is it...
Got nice spaces to pose, but G2 doesn't really have to do anything.
Cream always rises to the top and some pious that hot white cream is bubbling up
It's a great course
Three kills from the old and that is crushes some pious 12 and one it it's a brilliant reaction from g2
To an even greater cool out of phase
10 10 kills in seven rounds a phase. It's a lot of money, but like if they were getting some
Forget a few more. Yeah, they'd be with a couple more. That's all they need. I
I mean, this looks too comfortable for G2, they're not being precious.
At all.
There is no stress.
Every jewel is being dipped at the advantage.
Every one on one we've seen.
Sunny P is looking great, 12 on one.
Now this is a B-pop.
Just set the B-pop up immediately.
Oh, he's got the confidence flowing.
This is what he wanted to do more of yesterday, Henry.
Yep.
Hello.
Overlots.
Even with the miss spray, he gets one character visiting the check-in.
Oh, it's Jacob on the board, he gets a trade, so first kill for the young Paul.
Copy, Paul.
And Heavy gots here.
Yeah, he's...
He hasn't really got going yet.
He's great.
Yeah, he's one of the best P players actually in the game right now.
He's gonna rock your socks.
He's got a nice position too.
Oh, still walking forward though, throws and catches that entry.
Miss shot on the cross, some players gonna make up for it.
It's close, but no cigar.
Phase of the smoke down should be there. I know you think you're gonna think I'm crazy, but like they should save
Yeah, I've already got seven in the bank, right?
Take the save on this guarantee more buys down the stretch
Yeah, if you can save now, but you won't have to we go this round is over. Give it over. That's fine
You're gonna lose some the fact you're winning seven and you've got an AK here is like Hunters should save the AK
That's more important to the goods. Yeah, totally agreed. Oh
I guess you could try them.
What are they doing to the chat?
This is a bad idea.
They're not going to contain it.
They're not going to go for it.
Are they trying to defuse the bomb?
No.
No.
There was an attack.
I don't like it.
I'm by a step.
I don't like it.
I still don't like it.
We're being positive to it. I thought it was a good idea from G2. Yeah. Thank you, Harry. Yeah first sensible thing. You've settled there
They thought phase would overcoat and a 7-0. I don't really blame them
I think G2 overcooked look at the residual cash now on the CC side after just one round loss Chad
If you get back in the kitchen
This might be fine. I've never left
They just keep winning if if you don't
No. Can't think about it like that.
Very positive.
Got a very main in the lead ahead of the game.
Young cop.
Through the smoke.
Done well.
Not too well.
He was dodging the flashes nicely.
The movement was good.
Burt's out of bounds.
Shots him down.
No problems.
Wanted towards middle.
Maintaining the advantage.
Mattress will fall back.
And back to the drawing board.
Our phase.
Taking heavy damage from Karrigan.
A five on four.
Doesn't look too good out there right now.
they haven't got any map control to speak of whatsoever.
I'm back to Malph's turf, aren't they? So three to come out late long.
They're smoking bricks.
Alph's off angles on long are a lot of fun.
Think about some of the plat positions.
Now he's tucked in hard.
You've seen the trajectory of that, though.
Do you just play through?
I mean, you could be still be walking into Malph's.
Malph's gets at least one more.
Sunny P doesn't have a flash out of Malph.
I did say this position Malph's in.
It's always good for one.
Oh, he has moving.
He has.
Always good for one, which would be fine right now.
One would do.
Hunter has a flash to help mobs, so if he gets one, stays alive, flash comes in, it's worth two.
I think he's worth two, yeah?
But twists, one of the sharpest tools in the face shed,
might be able to take him down.
Oh, nice catch from Russia, back to mobs on the long side.
One will do.
One did do, and they found lower as well, so 4v2 ensues,
and fate of nowhere to go, but the savor factory.
Oh, they're coming in.
Hot.
Gotta go for it.
Need some rounds, yeah?
Need a miracle.
Green gets whipped up into a frenzy, some pyres will want more.
Full fat, this one.
Oh dear.
That's a shot from RVD, but he will be going down.
Not enough time, not enough HP,
not enough chances to isolate the Jules,
Hunter will do with him, and that's eight to one.
Well, they're good.
You saw the idea there, right?
Try to get out long.
That's a good concept.
Get out long, see what happens.
Didn't quite work out.
Maybe you win.
What a lucky.
I love the movement there from Jakobs, kind of lucky I think, I've been lucky in a way,
but I'm so fast you can smoke.
I might look like G2 a winning but phase of call to better game.
You know, unironically, you don't want to think North American Counter-Strike needs.
What?
They need like a Freakazoid character.
Hey, Pop. Take it away. How I wrap it up. Oh, heavy garden matches quick work made of this one. It's a shame get a good idea on this little B
play, but nice try. Let me elaborate here. I'm not even joking. I used to play against free because I back in the day
One of the things I admired about that cloud nine roster was the bro culture
I don't mean that like toxic man is fear way
I mean it in terms of the team camaraderie way and free because I was always a guy who brought really good energy with
That and you're looking at some of these teams with North American pieces. So to make a great
They need a bit of that, like I think because I'd, you know, not only was he, you know, who's die hard for his role
Yeah, I also had a really good energy about him. He's right. I died with the boys
Yeah, because I'm making sure everyone we're picking everyone else up and they're down keeping on his head in the game
I've got a good email here. Oh nice. We're nice to read this one out
Hello team long time fan and friend of the show Jack here. My question is can we have back?
Can we have back Henry G's catchphrase? Get him out of here when someone does a cool spray down or something much love
That's it. I can do that is available
You go could do it as well be at the same effects wouldn't really notice the difference
Let me just give you the time
You could do it if it's like if they get absolutely owned
Catch phrases could come out of the same time. Let's drop them at the end of the half. Okay, right before we go to the break
All right, give you a bit of a taste of the action
This is what you've been missing for us to please today
Well, for trying their best?
Well, they've just always been willing to try new things, new ideas.
Like, go long or go B?
Me to B, short.
Feel the options available.
This is game of the day in a way.
Hasn't really lived up to the expectation so far, no one's saying that.
Map 2 is where we really get started.
At once, where we just get our...
This is the pick of phase.
They're going to grab the ball by the horn to fire them soon.
You know anything about that, Henry?
It's the same.
It's the same as that.
It's worrying for them in the phase camp.
Short execute. It's not ideal.
We're going to go short execute. Here we go.
No warp.
Sunny P with a sweep.
Nice movement as well.
Come on down.
Hey, boom. On the smoke.
Some pastures are shut off.
That's a great need from his teammate
to set him up. Wrap it up, Harry.
Chad, they're not getting close to these rounds.
There's no chance.
They are trying, Henry.
Okay, he didn't say it.
I'm not denying that.
Yeah, okay.
A bit of space for Karagin.
They kind of abandoned him there.
Everyone else hiding behind the smoke.
He's now fading.
Okay, nice, Molly. Get to kill, I think.
You have to press the keys on your keyboard.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
Two v five in a few seconds.
It's one more man on the ramp.
Do they know?
They do.
Pop colors and sometimes it doesn't miss a beat.
16 and two, beating them like eggs.
Beautiful, innit?
A little play out through shorts,
smokes down,
drop players in a CT.
It's a strong bit.
You really saw the idea.
This is Light and Fluffy from G2izner.
It's like a meringue.
I do like the base of Aaron is well whisked. He's not flash though. The office has got four vision
Henry just a Harry closure is for a second. Okay, wait
Yeah, it's gonna
Way too comfortable there's no stifling we're just saying how good they're saying how good this game was
I need fair enough
Who do you think has played the better game?
It's sunny B. I mean which team
He's misplaced that it's so cheap.
Jacob's done everything right.
Everything he's been asked to do.
He had a trade kill on Madison Lowell Dark.
Yeah, I remember that trade. Joe's pretty good.
And he's died every single round.
Yeah, but he's been doing what they're asking him to do.
Okay, sure.
Not letting the struggles get to him, which is a good character sign.
Strong character.
Strong character.
You can't doubt this game.
need as well. So demoralizing made, I would say.
Get another one in if you got one.
Yeah, but it was good.
It was a good one.
Yeah, but have you got to the wrong side?
I want to give some credit to the carrier who caught it.
Protect the rest of his team.
Yeah, with both hands.
Yeah.
Emery, I hope that catchphrase is ready for the end of the half.
It does feel...
Let me get it ready.
It does feel necessary.
It does get any rude, dulcet tones ready to live on.
Get him, honey.
Look at this from Hunter.
Look at this from Hunter.
Oh, he's...
Oh, guys, it's not short.
You scared?
It's probably mid to B.
Well, they're double mid.
Double trouble.
And they hurt Hunter Leaves, they're retaking short.
Actually, a good call here for FaZe.
Let's go on A.
Goose Man, are they ready for...
...Nabs hiding out of the back of the site?
And creamy P.
It is...
Ah!
Oh, dear, oh dear.
Come on, Henry. This is not looking too good for FaZe Clan.
It looks like we're going 11-1 less broke.
He can do something unbelievable.
He can't deliver the goods, but G2 certainly can.
You know what, ladies and gentlemen?
Faceclon, get him out of here!
Brutal brilliant game being played by FaZe Clan here.
A number of great ideas, solid attempts at it,
but can't seem to get a handle on G2.
Who haven't been able to headshot a bit of a lead
for themselves, Chad?
That's one universe.
The other one is, this has been a pure ponage from G2.
Back at the building in a big way, Henry G.
Boom, headshot.
Boom, headshot.
Yeah, you're absolutely right there, Chad.
And it looks like it will come to a crashing halt
momentarily.
I want to get out of here.
That'll be better on the next map.
can't get much worse ancient I mean sure it can't get worse than this if they
lose the piss like I'm gonna get you some emails yeah time for multiple some
piles was yet to 80 in two it's been the best sunny P performance this year
probably in probably the last five years no I don't know about that but
this year exaggerating be tram smart backwards get on it when this game ends
When was the last time Sonny P had a smart backwards?
Oh my god, I never...
The B-Trams are smart backwards.
Obviously I knew that.
Oh, we learned today.
And so to face, that they have the right energy, right attitude, don't they Harry?
Yeah, and like just a killer level of resolve, you know, they haven't given up on the game yet.
As you shouldn't.
MR-12, anything's possible.
Oh, there's pistol, mate.
Well, 5v4 bomb planted, locked out by the smoke phase.
in trouble.
Why'd it up?
Not too much trouble.
This is not a coverable of trouble.
You can recover this.
Who are they in trouble with?
The organization, the fans, the game?
Oh!
Maddie, hey!
Anyway, real question, dink versus gushed.
When do people start saying gushed in terms of a headshot?
Okay, so you say gushed when they don't have head armor,
So they would just have Kevlar or they would have no armor and you gushed them, right?
So it's onomatopoeia, right?
So, you know, dink is the sound when the armor gets hit, right?
You've had head armor, gushed is the sound when you don't.
So that was pretty simple.
Shout out to Brandon.
Thanks for emailing in.
I thought we were doing a telephone.
I thought we were doing a telephone.
You guys know what a telephone is?
Yeah.
What, we're doing a charity donation sort of thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I haven't done one of those yet.
What's he think?
It's a search engine.
A bit of a different flavour, but...
Calling it up right now.
Drew's email didn't saying he...
This one.
What Chad said about Freak was spot on.
CS has become too professional.
Some bro culture is what we need.
You see it in ESEA Advanced.
Interesting.
And Main, but anything past that gets too serious.
I always look for ESEA Main for my personality.
I thought that I don't think Freak is over with Serious.
You know you have certain people that are like the talismans in the team, right? They bring a they bring an energy
I'll something players get kind of you're damned if you do damned if you don't look at Torsche recently
Right, we call them no or then he tries to show some shit talk
Everyone booze him for two games straight, and then he says how he didn't like it
You know like fuck around find out and that's this game over
Baggs will see him in the lobby
Out of here
Well coming into the first map of the series stage 2 phase taking on G2
And it was a dust to the score line about to read the 13 to 1
Let's go to a break
go
i'll play
what the hell do
come on peeking mid still
where's the church?
no
i'll try to go short together
yeah we can try to go short
i'll try to go short
i'll take the ball with us
take the ball i'm short
They used smoke long. One close long. Spamming.
The same guy who smokes, I think they broke down the short setup.
I think. I didn't see the ball.
We're bringing the ball short.
I'm staying here.
Hit.
That's it.
That's it.
Yeah.
Last shot.
I saw a shot.
Guys, we're going to use the ball as a flashbang.
Ready?
Wait, wait.
Flash, flash.
Flash, flash.
Fuck, he's missed.
He got flashed, he got flashed.
Where's the ball?
Where's the flash?
Ready, flashing?
Ready, 2, 1, flashing.
I can flash, chill, chill, chill.
I'm flashing from the view, I do Reky flash Nima.
They molot me, I cannot peek.
Nima, I flashed.
Flash!
They're on the elevator.
I got some I have come from side
Nice guys, sick
I got frozen on the line to break down some of the CT positions of G2's map pick in
this series, now first of all frozen I was just chatting to you guys playing from home
right what's the vibe you've been like for the past week
I mean, just practising, you know, a little bit of a, I guess, a little bit, like, stereotypish
if you practise for a long time from home. So, you know, just trying to keep up the good
vibes and keep up the hard work at the same time.
Now, we are going to play this between map 1 and 2 in this series, but it's been a while
since you faced G2, right? What are your kind of expectations? What are you looking
at in terms of what they showed on stage 1 of EPL as well?
I think G2 is an interesting team. I feel like ever since they kind of built this new line-up, they can be very dangerous.
So yeah, I expect a good game and obviously there's Matis as well, another slow-mike in-play, so I think it's going to be a fun one.
I feel like if history is anything to go by, FaZe vs G2 has always been a banger.
Now let's get into the positions. Let's start with yourself. Where are you situated at the moment on Ancient City side?
I'm a anchor slash, you know, helping mit
Poppy there you've kind of moved around in your time, right? How do you feel about this position?
It's fun. I love that, you know, it's fine like five out of ten middle of the ground
Yeah, let's say like eight. Okay. I feel like you get to do a lot there, you know, a bit more than fine
That's good. That's good. Yeah, it's very dynamic position. Let's go a j-core. Where's he at?
Gubai is a big player. He's a big anchor.
What about Young Brokey?
Young Brokey, he's an opera, so I mean...
Pop him, yeah, pop him in the middle.
Carrigan.
Carrigan is the cave player.
Lovely.
And finally, Twist.
Twist is a mid-player.
Cool. Let's pop him over there as well.
In terms of how this dynamic is with the team and you know, you're getting accustomed to being on a Jacob as well
What's kind of the the most important thing that you guys focus on on the city side of ancient? I?
Think the most important
I think the most important thing is probably just like connecting the sides together
Because you know people can have ideas on their own, but it's important that everyone is
Aligned with the whole picture of the round
So yeah, I think that's
And obviously as we're welcoming you here for the first time into stage 2 of EPL, what are the expectations?
Where's the bar set for phase of this event?
I mean, it's a different ride. We're starting online this time, which I have an experience in some time.
I mean, I'm looking forward to it. It's a new experience again. As I said, we got some practice in the last weeks.
So, yeah, I'm looking forward to see what we can show.
Looking forward to see you guys take the server as well. Thank you so much for your time, President.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I remember he got a little older.
Yeah.
He stopped.
He's going to stop and change from here.
A thousand.
A thousand.
Personal chickens.
Pets of mine.
Thirty-three thousand personal chickens.
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh Christ!
Alright, man on the street takes a different angle today.
Ugh, not this guy. Casting.
Shit.
I feel like you're a strawberry kind of guy.
Okay, bro. Okay, chocolate. Okay, chocolate.
No, it's not magic.
Vanilla, bro. You are... Okay, I respect Vanilla.
There's two things in the world.
There's Vanilla ice cream and strawberry ice cream. You got anything Vanilla?
Vanilla.
Okay, I mean, that's his favorite.
I respect him.
Shit.
I feel like you are a guy who likes to fish.
I don't like to sleep.
Do you sleep a lot?
I like to sleep.
It's not considered a hobby.
No.
I like to do my free time.
I was about to write a play computer, but...
He plays chess.
Oh, chess? Oh, fuck.
He plays chess.
Yeah, he's right.
Put one point for him.
Stick doesn't count.
Chess, yeah.
My brain didn't connect.
I need to connect with you, you know?
I need to think what you're thinking.
We need to get some points, you know?
No, Broky, you go with the best, the favorite one, okay?
I think I know which one it is.
I think it's Katowice 2022,
like in Doki MVP, Beast.
Cologne.
I mean, I give it to you. That fan was crazy yesterday, so...
I don't know, man.
I would say somewhere in the name, he would go hang out with Eddie.
I love Asia.
Bro!
I thought about it, but I don't like that.
I don't even know where.
I was like, man, it's hard to order food there as well and everything.
I don't know if you would enjoy the vacation there.
I've been doing it.
Where would I go tonight?
I don't know, like, Cali or something?
Yeah, maybe.
Is it?
You f**k.
I'm not sure.
You do a little bit of everything, I feel like.
Yeah, I must let you guys.
I was about to say, let's f**king go, slash let's go, because when this guy's getting thumped up, there's a hole right here from right there.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Take me.
Oh, bro. F**king ice cream seller.
I just took your name, frozen, some ice cream, you know.
I would probably play some other game if not you.
You say two maps, I go two maps as well.
What?
Only one map.
Yeah, you can get only one.
Yeah.
Do you get one of them?
I give you four.
Yeah, Anubis.
Sure.
Anubis slash train.
I was thinking that another one.
Gee, let's go.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Give some to his family.
Okay, yeah.
But first thing I would throw a party, bro.
I would be so happy to celebrate.
But that's the first thing I would do once I would get home.
That's for sure.
It's easy?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I wrote two again.
I'll get a dog.
Slash turtle.
I have turtle as well.
It's a pretty hard one, to be honest.
Let's go.
I'll say Asimov.
Asimov?
Yeah.
Wait, the skin?
It was Doplet, bro.
Yeah, it's a hard question.
I don't have any favorite skin.
My own favorite skin is when they are destroyed by C.S.2.
I like it.
I mean, at least I'm allowed to sit up there.
See, the smoke will come through.
No, it doesn't.
It missed.
What did it catch on there?
That smoke missed.
caught on some sort of ledge. They have to waste another smoke. That's not a good look.
You're pretty fine out in the U2 you've got here in the 4-spire and having to
burn another smoke makes it a lot harder when it comes to his ex-excuse. You're going to dive
into the A site and that flash will come over, briefly catches Dumar but they're still a bit
scared of going through. I've just got one. Dumar quick on the trade. He's all alone here
and now especially with R going down, he should be dead right. He's going to get 2-3. He pulls
of the pistol in the cross.
I was in the right spot. He
just can't pull the trigger in
time. 20 seconds. Nice. Try
twice. Oh, that is a
squandered opportunity and
walks it can solve. I dragged
that round back in favor of
Aurora. I actually can't
believe they get away with
that. Yeah, 100% I mean, here
we are again right with the
crazy up and down back and
final map of this series. Very, very difficult stuff to say the least to be on the end of.
Aurora will be looking to absolutely steamroll forwards. Legacy, it's in the air, right? The
force by wars could certainly be on the cards again. Yeah, I'm sure.
That is a tilter to let slip legacy five sevens are always quite scary few of them here in
this round we're just doing a due diligence at least for now I don't want to fall in towards
a gamble stack a bit of an anchor angle by a lotto hanging on the corner and towards
Maybe now we'll get him to support too.
With all they really want to invite the pressure in here.
I thought a 5-7 were close as well.
I mean, arts draw an attention away that they might actually overlook his position.
Smoke down two again.
I think there's a potential they might not check in, but he dives round.
I got in the worst time as they were falling away.
Uh-oh!
What's he doing?
Now, now, now!
What is he doing?
We've talked about this.
That's brazen.
Yeah, we'll absolutely be punished for that one.
So, man advantage.
Not a lot of time.
A lot of time at all.
Two bodies still on this B bomb site.
Unlikely angle maybe.
It doesn't get checked.
He actually takes a peek early.
We like that for this one.
Wow, really keen fight for him.
Now with only 20 seconds left,
it gets very, very shaky indeed.
The bomb, no closer to committing.
They're all so very split, the 5-7s doing so much damage, and indeed, they're just playing time here.
Man alive, come on, this is an absolute mess.
8 seconds left, they'll just about get it.
Recovery of the bomb and the plan will indeed come in, but it's a 1-on-1, and it's very, very doable here.
Zantara has so much work for him to get in.
29 HP.
It's a smoke onto the doors, kind of.
I'm not sure if he's going to
get it, but he's going to get
it. He's going to get it.
That's in. Ultimately only really
has one decision in his mind.
Just have a Molotov opting not
to use it just yet, but he will
get it out. That goes a bit
deeper. I don't know that it's
going to reach Santares.
Unfortunately, Bush goes through
on the other side, right? Not
where he's coming from. He's
looking towards window, but
taking his sweet time about
it. Santares will know all
about this over the top of
him. Santares is again looking
All that tail end, Legacy actually deserved that round.
It felt like they'd set themselves up quite nice to just one slight overfight.
And it allows Aurora to dive in and get that bomb down with just a second to spare.
Did a really good job of making something work there, but
just had to hide from Boston.
He assumed he was big box rather than the pillar itself.
Nice work by Santoros.
This is really quite shaky round from both sides.
Like, nothing's we've seen so far.
these opening three have been convincing. KDR walks it, the maid will see off nissan.
It is a low to no buy.
Oh that's a good one. Should be a simple one. Yeah just like that.
The flash is completely avoidable with KDR. A freebie.
all gone quiet here as Aurora looking to firm that position
Sintara's slow creep up middle
looking to try and find this solidifying kill
I did not move it. I was gonna say now would be a good time for it should catch one. Oh
Should be operative word. Oh, no. Yeah, that's tough
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back the campus right network, I believe it's called ear cell pro league
We've got G2, we've got FaZe down, we've got a bit of Ancient up next, FaZe not looking their usual selves.
13-1 in the first map, can they bounce back boys?
We pretend it's map number one.
Map number one here in the series, wondering to see what FaZe is going to bring back into their second online game of the year.
Obviously the first one we're going to talk about against the Eyeballers here is FaZe, take to the server.
Anything's possible. I think today that we should count the missed shots which were broken in some parts.
That's a great idea.
Who knows who's going to perform today. Anyone could show up.
Let's ask production if it's possible.
You can count the misses for each player if you go into this map.
I've got a yes in my ears.
Okay, all right, awesome.
Fantastic news. G2 face map 1 is ancient.
Also on a C, you mentioned that loss. Yeah, they lost to JW.
I didn't know there was anything to be ashamed of there.
No shame in that.
A veteran and experienced player.
Age of winner?
Age of winner.
Of XD.
Swede. Swedish.
We love the Swedes around here at these parts.
Well, they'll be coming up next.
It smells versus heroic as well.
Oh, but a youngster.
and the server up against, so, against who?
Out.
Sidebar, just quickly.
Go on.
B-Tram said that it was Sunny P's best-reader performance
since he owned some bums back in August last year.
The bums were FlyQuest.
Oh, it's coming to you there.
All roads lead back to FlyQuest.
Every single attack.
No, Henry, all roads lead to Dracula.
Oh, it is.
Which is coming up.
You get 10.
Dracula and six is coming back up.
Dracula and his five-goal.
How many, like, what percentage of players have had their best performances versus FlyQuest?
Oh, that's an important one.
Surely it's a good member.
Listen, B-Trapz, he said he's out this evening.
He's out on a Friday night. He's got some friends.
Have a great night.
It was just...
Oh.
He was called out.
Have a good night.
How do you know? It's Friday night.
Yeah, it's Friday night.
Friday night.
What are we doing, Henry?
Oh, that's actually really...
Psyched me up.
Okay, yeah, I feel good.
Um, I don't know. What do you want to do? Do you go?
What do you feel like?
Sauna?
Club.
Sauna's close is at nine.
Club.
A night club.
club. Well, I'm just trying to say, what sauna clothes is it?
No, the one of Jim. Isn't the gym at all 10? Yeah, the
sauna is down at nine. Oh, you're so winding it down.
Make the rules here. They got to call it a sauna and we
weren't even back for 10 anyway. Yeah, what about this? What
about this? If we get two two os, I'm saying I'm saying
no. Come on, we'll get a booth. It'll be nice. True
actually. Yeah, we'll get it. Get a booth. It's so fun.
We did it a few times in Malta. I'm not going to a
club again ever in my entire life. I'm ruling it out.
So handsome, I love you.
Yeah, you are handsome.
Imagine having a booth at a hotel.
Yeah, interesting going to.
If you don't have to drink, I'll buy.
I'll buy.
Get so much more from that one.
You really enjoy the atmosphere.
I'll bring some wet wipes, and I'll
clean your sticky shoes after you walk across the floor.
I can't imagine anything worse than going to a club.
No, wait, wait, wait, but it gets better.
Two clubs?
We can go to two, or?
Here we go.
You don't have to drink.
And I'll get in the turn.
I do have to drive.
I'll get the music off.
All right.
You're going to do a solid disco.
Yeah, that can be fun.
Headphones on.
That's more like accommodating.
If we could go to a gig, you know, if there was a band
planned out, there's a scene.
If luck would have it, there is.
Bring me the horizon on tonight.
Let me find out.
OK.
If it's Papa Roja, I'm in.
Yeah, I'm that.
I'm that.
I'm that.
I'm not live in the pieces.
That would be great.
See if that plan tonight, Harry.
I'll get you a new port and everything.
If you go on Spotify, oh, I have a song that is
available.
That title or YouTube music.
They do tell you gigs in your local area. Let me have a look.
Dude, there's so many gigs tonight. What do you feel in chat?
There's actually... I pick a little here.
Uh, Divorce Dadrock is normally my go-to.
Well, Hans Zimmer in a couple of days.
Great. That's not tonight, though, is it?
No. But we could do it on a Sunday.
That's a big picture, son. Right now it's G2.
It's map one. Otherwise known as map two of the series.
And it is ancient G2's pick. It's just 13-1 phase last.
They're going to get more rounds on this map. I feel it.
I feel it in my luling.
We've got a unique EQ here.
Can't get more than 30, Chad.
Three players through cave.
Resistance presence though, with Brokey and the Jeweler leads.
He should be getting two kills.
He gets zero.
There we go.
Nothing either.
Yeah, that's round.
Anyway, I'm going to go on the mailbag.
That is a good choice.
Let's go on the mailbag.
There's heaps of emails.
Guys, DLTailMailbag at efg.gg.
They're flying in.
They're hot off the presses.
Let's go through some of these.
Can someone just do a bit of filling while I read the first demon?
Make sure it's okay.
The retake is on here and the time is this five situation when there's no kids right now
Okay, this one's from Ben Ben wants to know what the benefits of a bootcamp versus practicing from Homer
What's the major difference between the two?
Well, they are playing from home right now, not bootcamping, so
There's your answer
When you're bootcamping you're in the same room
It's a whole lot easier to converse with one another everyone's attention problems, right exactly on the phone
There are players and this is no word of a lie who during practice would be going into like their steam tab and like playing games or
searching things are on their phone. Also, you can do that while be yes. That's true.
Historically true. So what while meant to be playing and locked in for crack, they're
buggering around doing nonsense, right? At a boot camp, that ain't happened. You're
you're well. I actually, that's what I've seen happen. I've seen it happen to as
well. That's likely you're going to get told off. You get caught out, right?
More accountability boot camp, a quicker to fix problems, better atmosphere, able
to play to do theory more team bonding as well in saunas always a sauna trying it in there once
a day if you can kugo and i are going to be going tomorrow morning i'll be told it's possible
someone tom's email in tom says he was recently in a hotel lobby and some guy offered uh him a
knife skin if he gave him his trousers he was absolutely disgusted that he's never been so
insulted in his life depends on the skin yeah if it's like a one of the like a safari
Meshgut knife? No. Emerald Karambit? Yes, yes. Suddenly we're taking off whatever. My trousers are already off.
How much is a Emerald Karambit these days? Since the crash? Oh, like 10 bands. 10 bands?
Okay, you can have my trousers as well. Stitch them together. We're both. 10 bands?
Are they performing tonight in Salko? 10 bands might be performing. They might pop in. Fuzzy
in breath. I like that.
He might pop in.
Flom's go stream.
And he would like to know if we get a f**k Flom shout out.
No, we like Flom.
Yeah, but that's kind of their help.
It's a joke.
Yeah, but that doesn't matter.
Okay, well, I'm not in on the joke.
How many of them?
I don't think they like me very much.
They're saying f**k Henry the other day.
That's true.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Why?
Because I was, well, rightly so, I was calling Flom out
for Flomland where he hired Jason and Dinko
for an extortion of fee.
I would told him I'd do it for free.
And of course he hired those two
That's not a good look I want to be a friend
I know they can't flonk my friend. Okay, that's all I was getting. Oh, no much. And I didn't know. Oh, no, apparently not
Even for free. He's not interested. Maybe if you pay him, oh, hi. I'll have to pay to attend the event
Yeah, maybe that is an idea the standard ticket price such a good friend
Oh, here's a question for rush. Okay, Josh. Hello. This one that comes in rush
The question is who is the hardest team to spectate to ensure the viewer at home sees the majority of the action
Probably a slower team
You'd be surprised like a fast team is actually really fun and really enjoyable like the old Fiora
You know stuff like that was really enjoyable back in the day
But slow teams like old VP like Paris and now and not that bad to be honest to observe
Oh, I have a question for rush. Go on. Who do you prefer? Which syndicate syndicate project or size?
It's got to be the PSI
Do you ever miss him a little bit? Yeah at times. What's he up to? I'm not sure. I mean, uh, he's doing stuff
I'm sure. Oh, yeah, everyone's doing stuff. Oh, man
Louis if you're watching dog come back. Yeah, come back
My phone Lewis, I want to play Daisy with us now. You're talking Daisy shit that I just have no idea
Come on Hank back rushes origin story. I was a fan of rush Henry before I was to like we had good times one time
No, we didn't know it was awful. I've a video and everything man. You and you loved it. He hated it
I don't think I did I tried my best to enjoy it. This wasn't fun. Yeah, I mean I understand it's
They have to give this one a go boys, so shall we shall we entertain this round is likely over okay?
I'll look in I'm just I'm questioning. I'm not dictating. I'm just curious waiting back to back unicorn
First killing two rounds coming through the G2
So, it's not looking great. It is over.
So, Tak said he's going to be working at production at a CS LAN for the first time ever this year.
What an advice, I guess, for working at the... I would say...
Make sure the audio is good.
And minimum.
Yeah, and I'd use the bathroom in your hotel. You know, some places don't have the cleanest of
lavatories. It's crazy.
That's the tip.
Bring in any real advice.
Drink lots of water.
That's a good idea.
Not too much.
I love the way you say water.
water. Communicate clearly with the those around you. Ask. Wait, yeah, I mean, does he have
classes? I'm not sure it doesn't say there's no if classes ask what comms they want. Do they
want do they want a lot of talking? Do they want no talking?
We could even bring in some of our production to help answer this question. Okay, so, so,
Tak, if you're hearing us, email back production. Do you have the longest days out of anyone
normally he's got to prepare himself for a marathon sleep well sleep well
electrolytes I say you don't get all caught up in the excitement get wasted
night one day away from the the booze let us know what role do that announce
it was and it's so good all the way up until he said team for islands I was
driving a vest like and now welcome like the deepest voice that's right
Carragans alone, he needs two here.
I'll be...
So you got nothing.
Contour go down.
Retake will be very difficult here.
This is kind of a bonus run as well.
We've got MP7s, Mac10s.
Very expectable bonus round.
I don't know if you can even make this one happen.
I don't have a kit.
I have to hope they throw it away and that's the opposite.
Okay, an entry. We've got something.
Got a run.
Shabble with this.
Here we go.
Oh, sure
That's a shame. I'll win any of them at this rate got close there. Didn't it that's the closest they'd be
That's it. That's a good old college try that I think Dinka called that is that what it was two glills a Mac 10 and an MP7
They won one round the first I know but just to point that out
What is happening today? They're going to and then they're winning the event. Okay, that is the phase way
Follow the script guys. We've not read the table read. No one seemed up for a chat
They they are in a downward spiral of depression. No one seemed up for it. They've been pretty woeful all year
Who's the vibe of merchant?
Who's bringing the vibe right Jacob, I guess
The young bloods, you know shout out young blood, but no that that young blood
Well, at this point, we've got another partial bite.
This is the kind of round they win though.
AK for Jacob.
The Vibe merchant.
Sounds like you're being facetious.
I am in a way, but...
We have fun around here.
Let's see if they can convert us.
Nice to make damage.
Opening kill from Jacob.
AK's gone.
Round's over.
This is still hanging about.
Dude, I think FaZe should play chivalry.
Oh, they've heard him singe. They know he's in the smoke, he's gonna love a couple on RVDs.
Oh, he's still alive. Are we cooking? Yeah, we are. With gas, you go. Damage.
Wrap it up. Right, FaZe on the board looking for their first round here in some time. He's gonna get this kill.
gonna get this kill you have to press W at some point no kid can't win all right
well at least they hung around look for a bit of damage that was pretty cool
happy for them I guess exactly gonna wear it I try though Niles emote in and
wants to know why do we think phase actually sucked Harry I don't you don't
think actually so you think it's just a bad day yeah okay I wish phase
believed in themselves as much as I believe in them. Okay, I sometimes wonder
would I be overstepping a boundary to try and cheer them up. You're gonna call
into Finn's house. Yeah. Okay. You're gonna be like a clown, Robin Williams style?
Or what, what are you thinking? Oh, I just say like boys come on. I'd go join the
teams, but you can join right now. I actually could join right now. Don't do
that, because we'll get in trouble from League Ops. They can't even land an elbow smoke, boys.
This is visual.
Oh, just say, like, lads, come on.
Remember, here we go, here we go.
OK, how do they lose this?
That's a wrap.
They don't.
They shouldn't lose this.
They won't lose this.
They won't lose this.
I think they've lost this.
4v2, they've lost the site.
A nice maneuver from every god.
This is the only way they could win this bush.
And they've lost the 4v2.
Oh, there we go.
Bambamary, continue your speech.
It was working while you were giving your speech.
I would say, like, lads, you made it to the final.
No one expected you to even make it through the event.
Like you were at the final the major you've been in all of them
You've got carried one of the goats of being an IGL just listen to it
You have some faith twists. You're so talented man
You know it may be the best NA player that's been produced look at this see I'm hyping them up already working Harry
I can rookie come on lad. You're the entertainment factor. You're the fun
Play for the nose goes play for the mad ship, but I do it with a bit of pizzazz. Don't do these suck at peaks
Come on lad. You're the Latvian laser
You're the guy now the round count of the moment is 18 to 2
That's fine. It is fine. It's fine. I have to start somewhere. I agree
I want to be entertained in the most entertaining team. I'd remind them of that. So come on
You know, this isn't like
You know, there's so many shows that lost their way eventually like lost like lost, you know
So I know some season is lost losers. Well, how I met your mother was terrible in
Peaky blinders got really bad
Sonny P made some space Malbs is gonna take up what's available twist with the break or from Broke he won't catch spam through bullets back
Broke you well done
Jacob man, don't forget you got here. You know you got called up 11th day. You're a place to legend of the game
You're a place rain
How we know you got out of the team to make way for you
Jacobs come on they believe in you
It's fucking working in it yo face hit me up. I will I will raise these guys
All the vibe merchant I could be facing that's it
All right, this is whoever I complimented
Frozen, I don't even have to do it bro. You're already so good. You don't even need G enough David
And David you are the Goliath David
Well, I see what you've done there. Yeah, okay
They're saving kind of merged the fabled tail into one man that is frozen
Neo
Yeah, come on. Yeah, we're ready. We're gonna say to Eddie. Keep smiling. I'm Eddie's just a good guy
I don't know how a single person who doesn't like Eddie. I
Don't know that many people who know Eddie, but I'm pretty sure
He's always gonna smile on his face
That's that's really you can that's what he's known for smiling rush you got another question for you mate. Hello, so I just drank some water
Oh, okay, so it's like you're into its pain. Are you like a witch or something? Yeah
This is from Daniel Daniel emails in he says I'm quite new to see us observing. I've been doing an okay job
I think however. I know I can do much better. Do you have any tips protocols or anything that you do other?
Can you do other comma? I know the longer I do it the better I'll be yes wood
Would be nice to have some guides. I mean what I like to do is follow the teas a lot in the early round
I think that's quite nice to do you kind of telling the story of the teas and
Then when they execute to something like that come in that's when I kind of flip to the CTs
But no two rounds are the same. So you got to be adaptive
Try not to freak out if you freak out try to resale. I guess don't panic switch
That's I think that is a good bit. Yeah, it's hard always have a backup player chat
you know this always have a backup player and if you're not building your time if
you're not building your time that's from fortnight yeah we love fortnight we
love it T foo and ninja and all those guys
that's a movement in this round Richard Blevins Tyler Blevins no his name is
Richard on ironically it's Richard Tyler Blevins he ditched he ditched his
real first name yeah yeah makes it a bit of a dick if you ask me boys they've
cut noise the push comes through they take the space they walk on in and
twist the twist come on man 3v3 in the round will stall the block smoke in the
mix heavy god wants to float around middle but now would not be the time
if your teammates cannot contribute through the door smoke it doesn't make
any sense for him to play alone so someone will sim up for a moment a
Sunny Pea goes back into the darkness.
Hunter follows.
Kind of felt a bit like a fantasy novel there for a second.
Some could say a bit like Lord of the Rings, Harry.
They're like Lord of the Rings.
They're like Lord of the Rings.
I'm trying to convince the two little alien guys
here to watch it.
They could actually both be aliens from the same planet.
Who?
Oh, that's it.
Look at them.
You know them are paying attention right now.
You said their code word.
Lord of the Rings, they both just go deactivate it.
Ha ha ha.
Come on, Brokey, give me some of that mad shit.
Give me, yeah, come on, Brokey, do it again.
One's not enough, you know it, I know it, run through.
Fine with a miss, land the nose, go.
That's what he should be telling himself right now.
Always do the craziest fucking thing.
The most unexpected, mental, low IQ play.
That's what Brokey's going for.
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Fuck yeah, Faizabag.
Pilot Leavens, he can't get enough of this.
I'm seeing more than enough movement.
They're back in a big way.
They're so back, they just needed a bit of...
They just needed a bit of love.
And they're flossing with G2 right now.
Love is the answer.
I'm out and all over these kids.
Well, finally, they've broken the bank.
Faiz.
I didn't...
In the driving seat.
I didn't think they just need someone to love them.
That's it. I can't be that guy. I will be that guy. I am that guy big hearted Harry
We call him if phase have zero fans that I'm dead
And I'm not suicide look at this be saying they've done the lurk smoke on be side and they're just oh
Little cob careful now. Yeah, okay? Come on, bro corn on corn on
Come on
No, he can't stop sunny pain. I was in this form
Oh, what were you, whoo, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, my goats.
Mr. Anderson.
That would have been a terrible look, wouldn't it?
I hate the smell.
I think I've worked out a problem in face.
Okay.
You can't have a player called Neo and a guy with the last name Mr. Anderson on the same team, because essentially they're the same person.
Oh, been carrying Mr. Anderson.
Right, that's a matrix reference there.
Yeah, it is.
Those people just do not get it, but it's just what I really spell it out for you.
Who's the bad guy?
Agent...
Agent Smith.
Is that Agent Smith?
Yeah.
Well, that's bland, isn't it?
Is that part of the shtick?
Yeah, that's kind of like the idea, right?
He is like a bog-standard certain name, because he's a teeple poo.
Would you rather just eat the steak?
What?
Hang on.
He lost me with that one as well.
The bald guy, who's the turncoat against...
Oh, right, he wants to go live the life inside the Matrix.
He's fine, we're just enjoying the steak.
I think I would be as well, yeah, I'd be as well.
Instead of being chased by aliens and monsters.
I'm fine, the AI can use me as a power source.
I'll be a battery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you.
Lock me in.
I'll be the battery, that's all good.
Yeah, eat the steak, I'd say.
Let that be safer.
That was the name, son of a...
Good entry frag of that guy.
Alright, time out taking G2.
Have the wheels come off.
Has the car broken down.
We're gonna seesaw back into this one.
Dodges the flash.
Oh, he's back in. Bray Carrigan's back.
He's locked in.
He's locked in.
I actually know what happened Harry because you started with the whole facial hair thing
you kind of rocked the boat on mountain number one but you've worked your way back into it
now and you're spreading the love for face yeah I normally only ever do spread love for
phase like a soft margarine
it's not part of some matter the broken this is a bit of it
we'll say did a tiny bit but
honestly still a fine round of the info saw them leaving up in the heaven you
know it's the b-play now that telling whoever this is to be ready
don't mean that in a disrespectful way i don't see the screen it's shaking
okay probably the worst player i could have
Not the name we read the name of!
It's no disrespect!
I think Jacob's good.
Yeah, you like him? You're a fan?
Yeah.
What do you like about his play especially?
I like his glasses, I think.
Glasses are nice. Similar to yours.
If you had some.
That is a treacherous smoke, isn't it?
You can par through that now.
Honestly, I think that's fine for foes.
You're going to try and beat Karagan at mind games.
You sure about that?
Oh no, TK.
Okay, that's fine.
Collateral damage.
On your way to a round.
There it is.
Under there, Nose.
Oh, my God.
You're so bad, man.
Y'all was sleeping on this team.
No one understands the objective better than Karagan.
Exactly.
He got it.
The bomb's down.
I can defuse the bomb.
We win the round.
Smiling, dude.
Twist.
Big beam and smile.
Accentuated by his beautiful facial hair.
Oh, because he killed a teammate.
You know, he's thinking boys.
We got away with one there, didn't we?
Highway robbery.
Here it is in the way.
Here it is in the way in, just a little bop him in the back of the head.
That's a lovely tap.
Probably nobody from G2 wanted to par through the smoke that had to take the risk to get
the guy out of the abuse.
That for me is, that's poor form.
Totally done.
G2 got the back in the game.
He's trying to steal the half away.
Oh, Oshin middle comes up and they steal even up.
Oh, 1v1, they know where he is.
SunnyPee vs Brokey! The Battle of the Titans!
This is the one.
Reset the round back to T spawn.
Remember what we said, if you're Brokey, always do the craziest, most fucking wild option available.
Come on, Brokey. What's it gonna be?
This isn't that wild right now. Not yet.
But it will be.
Always made...
50-50.
Pick a site, Henry.
Right now.
Oh, plant in middle.
in the background like a process in task manager you don't know what it's doing
but Carrigan's mind is worrying trying to help figure out where this is ending up
fortunately the bomb looks like i'll be going down to be a scramble back towards the B bomb site
right you just remember the maddest least expected thing that's what you've got to do
i think he runs up short i've actually seen him do this run up short jump to the site no scope
that's the strap great position though this is the perfect counter to that
you can't run you'll be hurt and you'll be peaked then you'll be dead surprise
patience he walks in the easiest option he's not gonna clear this surely go
and he came on wall bang this bank would do more bang this one position
Oh, no. Oh, hey rush this music sounds like we're gonna sparranza, doesn't it?
I'm headed to the extract. I've got a hatch key. Let's go.
Why has he done that?
And that's, that's by restored here for a team just losing a bunch of rounds in a road.
G2 led them back in the game.
Oh no.
That hurts.
I'm lucky.
No one means that.
I'm trying.
No one, no one means lucky.
Oh man
I think it's fine that's exactly how I wanted bro key to peak that he gave me everything I asked
I'm not even doing the bit anymore like
I'm great. He hit him midair. Yeah now that would have been crazy
They keep missing this chat
Yeah
There's the smoke they're throwing the way it's landing is here we go
I mean similar
I was trying to actually use the tea side trickle down. Are you loving over come?
I love a smoke though the funny stone for every home the funniest part about some of these days you come up with Harry
Come on the crazy needs you've never used them in a match. Yeah, that's not what he might use the dust
You know you come on these in new bits like one way is never seen you throw me smoke chat actually I've cooked in a new
This one. Oh, yeah, it's a fake
It's like a fake dark smoke to look like the CTs have smoked it
But really there's a hole on the left is kind of heat through in a water. Okay, I'll give him that it is actually kind of sick
Give it a go there. I'm like slow cooking it use it when we play match later problem
I have on an UBS is I'm too good in be if I go in a connector. We're losing the rounds
So you are a good target your mesi-esque. Yeah, you guys are 10-1 and face it this way. Yes, sir
Look at this double from Malb's the MD
Medical doctor dishes out and lobotomy lobotomized
Do the craziest thing you get why?
What do they least expect you to just run at them with the orb that's probably it
it. I flow. This would solve
the doctor. Can you finish
what he started? It doesn't
look like it. They're running
at him. Shadow advantage phase
looking for an even hot and
they're going to grab it by
the horns. Fight that fall
back as phase from a one round
game to an even split six
six. We've got a match here
The Beast has awoken, FaZe Clan have arrived, we go 6-6, they're finally offering us some
resistance here on their opponent's mapping of Ancients, there's a little right down the
middle, they're looking much better chat, a team that could actually do some damage
here potentially.
Now if they continue to get the FaZe Whisperer, seeing them sweet nothings into their ears,
I think there's a chance.
There's, dude, there's such a chance, what do you want of him?
You're the FaZe whisperer
They've already won this map. Well, you've got a shot. How strong you are carrying bro run it back
Bring out a classic this pistol give a sudden juicy broke II do the most unexpected shit
Jacob he's got a pizza 50. He's been entrusted with the weapon of choice. Of course he has
But you're all you want the wild card. Oh, Jacob has it. Jacob has it. Yep. That's fine. Then you want your sharp aimer
a
B stream update. No, I wait made this make the noise. Oh
Over on the B stream right now on Aurora. That's his legacy rage again
First map went to how many over times is 25 to 21? So what do the maths was like five to six
something like that six over times bad maybe Aurora one 25 to 21
21 or over time. Yeah. Second map over past legacy coming back
strong 13 to 9. Third map raging on on dust to its nine to seven
and favor. We go. Second map here. Raging on six, six.
Whisper them, Harry. Jacob, they've given you the P250 man
with no cow. They've given you this P250. You bought your own
P2 bought your own P you've given yourself this P250 because
you know what you're capable of with it. You've got an
unexpected edge in these long-range fights. Now they've been a great tap to start, but
more opportunities will present themselves. Like this fight into the red room. Sunny
P creeping forward. There we go. That's why he gets the P2. Malbs, mate. Sorry. Flash might
be good. Phase VS better. They're going to get past him.
Dude, some pyres is just that guy today. Last map was crazy. This pistol coming in
Biggie's pushing the barter.
There is no cover on that smoke.
I can't even blame Karagin.
Why would you be holding the smoke instead of the back
of the site?
We're an assassin in and out.
Hey, sneaky stuff from Sun Pepe.
Didn't even know how that one happened.
That's a Cini cappuccini.
So Top End for Karagin right now getting the bomb planted.
Who are they?
It's the clutch of his career, Henry.
Oh, just get the bomb out.
For the first time in a long time,
he's not burdened by thinking about the others.
Dude, I love the reset though. He knew there were at least two in spawn and they'd walk around red.
It was very nice.
Ah, huge pistol. No bomb planted.
Massive pistol.
Probably spells GG, doesn't it Harry?
It smells like it.
What?
Guys, it's one round.
I feel like I'm playing with MM teammates.
How are the boys in the porn rounds?
And we've lost the pits.
We're still in this game, boys.
It's about to be 8 to 2 because they just have a flash now and there you go.
a tub of Ben and Jerry's next to Matt it's if so kind of respect the fuck out of that a tub of Ben and Jerry
Fish food fish food is good fish food is like a claw like low-key banger
Real ones they're half big
Big is the good other ice cream is available
Not really there. No
Hargindars.
Hargindars good.
Like better quality ice cream, but less pieces.
Let's get them, Robbins.
True, actually. A lot of Bible contenders here, Harry.
I'm glad no one said cart door.
We've got a chain in Australia called Nessa.
Oh, do you remember there used to be like a premium product?
That's crazy. Now it's like a quid.
I'm like, you're saying these are lost.
If you broke up the Vienna at a family dinner, it was a big buy.
But someone always did and it would be like, oh, they went big on this true the innets with a hot dessert as well
You know like
Yeah, now we're talking okay, well maybe tomorrow catering again organize a VNS
Place order for an apple crumble, please
Right now face giving us a different kind of crumble was kind of the round if they don't win this round then it'll be fine, okay?
They should be winning this one against the set up onus round
Look at the set up though Dan. It's very nice. I love this setup from G2 Hunter the bait and switch
They run the same setup on like forced by rounds with smoke. It's very nice
Haven't smoking stop in you
He's all the mid by this from Karagin
And the dark right a leg
lay
There's the bait. There's the switch.
Holding onto the smoke for now as Cendry goes in.
Giving more nades.
More where that came from.
Shake it up for good luck.
This can't go well for FaZe.
No.
How can this go well for FaZe?
There's always a way.
You know, never go wrong with a little jiggle.
Be Molly Ticks.
Sound cue indeed.
How does he now as well?
It comes down.
You are in trouble.
35 seconds, gentlemen.
They can't fall back even if they're committed.
With...
Aww.
Ooh, guys.
Counts.
Good flash though, Roky.
Sets him up to succeed.
Some pyres ain't stoppin'.
Bowls floods the site.
They just bish bash and bosh their way through this round.
This is the bonus round victory and indeed, no time to plan.
Certainly not time to kill both players.
Probably can get one more.
Just a one kill, actually.
Not gonna happen.
Great round for some pires again.
Saving two AKs, you ended with three SMGs there.
Great setup towards a stifling utility.
Locked them out of the bomb site, left them with no choice but to push the smokes.
So, look, the stifle, and here it is, please.
G2 struggled throughout stage one.
Yes.
They're against FaZe, who have been struggling all year.
Yes.
They are owning FaZe, essentially.
Caster God right, so what does this mean?
That's more about G2 or more about FaZe?
This is more about FaZe.
Um, we have a lot of data for G2.
Yeah, but they also have been playing a lot of online CS this week.
FaZe wouldn't have been in this environment, I suppose,
or anything to take away from that.
But this is just like official.
It's just like your practice.
I don't know. It's just like practice.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm trying to find some silver linings, you know.
That's a hard...
to a warmer but still this is it's the way in which phase have just been
it's mantle today but this would be a nice round of wind wouldn't it
it's not going to happen though is it no we're just walking through doors
that's we're done yet doors maybe windows but
same result ending up in a cuffs
windows are doors doors are not windows well depends
well you can go through a door you can doesn't make it a window though
I walk into a window, it doesn't make it a door.
It does, because you're entering through the window.
It doesn't make it a door, Henry.
I've entered plenty of windows in my time.
They're just a bit disjointed.
They need the comms need to come up.
They need to be on the same page.
Carrigan keeps dying on these smoke walks,
trying to be the space taking guy,
but then there's no one near him to help out.
I don't mind a Carrigan then.
If Frozen or Jacob are right there to trade him back,
he'd have to make it, but no, they haven't.
And so it's like, boy, you just tighten up, like, 10% more effort.
You know, right now you're feeling like,
oh, there's just now it's been going into scrims.
Well, yeah, so fucking lock it.
You can still win this game.
Gary, here we go.
Four blocker.
Anyway,
the next one starts at seven, I believe.
It was a great series for G2, I mean.
This would be the longest wrap ever.
If you wrap from here, I don't think I can do it.
Do you think you could solo wrap from this point?
Oh, he could have he had to
Believe you can win this round
You're broke you you can win anything
Wait, what if we did this what if we had rush and Jay finish the map
In its entirety
I'm going to try to help team.
Oh, Tina!
We'll obviously jump in if we need it.
I feel like they wouldn't love it.
The people at home would though.
And they're already doing their job.
They're doing their job.
We need to do our job.
The brooching is still looking at moments like these.
Yeah, that's the first.
1v5.
Hential's there.
Hunter.
At least hit it now.
Give rush round.
Wait, wait, wait, show us Matt.
I want you to see the spoon and the potential tub.
Okay.
Tub me.
Bring us Matt.
After the refighters.
It's my pooch to you.
He said he would prefer Mattis.
Okay.
Show me Mattis.
Half fire next.
Look.
See it right there.
Bottom right?
That's a spoon for sure.
He's going to bug me.
You're having a tea.
Why do you think he's been in Jerry's mate?
That could be a tea.
It was not wider angle earlier.
It was wider angle earlier.
It was wider angle earlier.
It was wider angle earlier.
Is that possible?
You think he's gone into a game of Counter Strike.
game account levy sugar load right now I just get a whole tub of ice cream last night
have you ever sat alone at your desk? no you haven't had a bowl with you you don't have a cup of beer
some days you want to finish the cup of ice cream you've never had a cup of beer
take it from me Hank it's very achievable yeah I'm kind of the authority on
there yeah I don't need sweets so I don't I can't exactly maybe I'll stay
my life. Don't speak French. Nope. What can I do there? No French at all. Alright,
rush rapid up. Yeah, it looks like they're trying to be playing lots of YouTube, which
is pretty nice. Juggling a bit here, but look at that. I love a J site cam or is it MC?
J. Love a site cam on execute if we could man. Yeah, I could do that all the time,
so I don't have to do anything either. It'll be sick. And right now the YouTube
being about to be laden on the B site.
Just, is this normal?
I think so.
We'll go over the castle.
Right, sorry, go mate.
Anyway, they're running up on the site here, you know.
It's not going to go well.
It does miss one on the site.
The flashback, it's huge.
Comes out, kills seven.
Almost kills the other one.
The spray, it did look good.
It only manages to get one.
It's a 4B3 retake here.
Wait, what, 3B2?
3d2 retake here and they're just seeing what they can do nothing to be done
They've got a lot of money to a certain degree. I could say
But yeah
The retake is on here. It might look like they've won the round. However
The repositioning here the jump it's made now. This is a audacious move
He is going all the way around there's still time. I don't think there is time rush. They've got
They are going for it though. So there's no financial ramifications gets one
They were going for it would have been really nice. It was possible. It was possible
Good stuff rush
Thanks, man
Great little be executed one that look at this check it out again. I'm playing
Double Molly long. It's a Basti cam is a good stuff faster. I
Hope that formula one driver you like wins the race passion. We'll see you in
space warrior or whatever it is laid out it says it's race week or two race
week soon okay is that for the fake confidence being given back over to me
this is how it starts okay so not fake confidence real belief yes this is how
It's all they need
Welcome to you quick the labors
baby oh
Have you got a lot of information opening kill locked them out of the people side they have to progress towards middle
Oh, they hit the God timing. Come on, Twist, recognize it. Recognize the timing you're
on. Twist, I'm now communicating with you telepathetically.
No, this isn't God.
twist this is God you've hit the timing go he's lurking
we should get the time we have the same last name well same first last name
combo
oh it's not pretty how it starts everybody say now it starts twist is
hit my muscle to this is in the pocket deep in the pocket you hit the
timing twists
He did good around his job. That's the round. Are they going for this rush?
I think so. It looks like they're juggling some U-Till I think maybe.
It's a good time.
They want to go see these four.
Yeah, different routes.
Is he lining up a smoke here? That's a long smoke.
He grabbed another gun, so they want to use that.
They need that gun too.
We're going to replace four, but they're going for it.
He's the odd man.
And Latvian's like patriotic, would you say?
Heck who is, but I feel like you and Brokie are low-key Latvians.
Good question.
Jenny, Jay, are you refusing to comment?
Yeah, it's been a long day, man. It's been a long day.
Fair enough.
That's fair.
Third vessel three.
Jenny's not very patriotic either.
No, no, he's not.
A lot of them are like low-key.
Well, no Latvians like talking Latvian.
No, I've never heard it.
I've never heard it.
Jay is the only one to then like you see hecku and she isn't the population might be like a hundred people in China
I was hanging out with hecku and Jay in China, and I dragged broke you over just so they would talk about being to each other
Great picture. By the way, it was funny. It was a good moment. Did they speak lucky? Yeah
Just the one sentence from broke you to be honest, it was quite a lot of talking yeah
Big Nate look at that down the pocket quick boost
Get it up. Look he's a man of action
Action man. They should call him
Other toys are available. It's an old-school toy. Yeah thunderbirds
Unrelated twice boys we have left off the thunderbirds are gold
So they've sowed the seeds of the lurk, haven't they?
Listen boys, we could be over red, but we're not.
We're setting up for a B-set piece.
You've got three players here, but someone has to tend to red.
Someone has to consider it.
Twists, this is gone.
You have the time.
Take him again!
Another!
Oh.
Round, map three.
This is actually getting out of hand.
What's map three?
Braw.
Braw.
She was a brawly map pull.
They're back in it in a big way boys, and I know what I'm gonna call this to they may be me a solid
I really have to pee but I've been holding it in
I don't know I don't miss I don't miss this game. There's four of us here. I don't want to miss this
But also I really want to watch it so they're gonna do it in regulation
Can we test something Harry? Yes, can you go to the bathroom and we'll see if you're the wind condition for face, right?
He's actually going um how long is he gonna be well he's studying it needed to urinate so okay in a couple of minutes
Oh, I know he doesn't like to do his business elsewhere other than his private main front toilet. Yes. Yeah, that's true
He chooses one toilet one specific bathroom once he's made his nest. That's it. It feels safe and comfortable in there
Um, you're right though Chad this game is starting to get interesting money on the lot
Well, not on the line, money broken.
Money is the key to tech time out there.
Sunny P has got the AWP.
That's true.
It's hard of Sunny P to insert.
Oh, maybe Hunter's gone to the bathroom as well.
Can we go back to Hunter's camp, please?
Hunter's suffering from a little bit of the Aleige syndrome right now.
What's that?
Low pixel.
Low pixel.
Yeah, he is.
Uploads.
He's got a labuba at the back there as well.
I believe he has.
Or any other stuffed toy.
TY's are also available.
He has got an Aleige situation for sure.
He's having a mouse issue.
Okay.
Alright.
Full swap alright, so we're opening up the drawer, this is the mouse drawer, alright in the drawer we get a couple of mice to pick from here.
I'll grab this one, alright this one looks pretty good, alright I'm gonna plug that one in.
Duh.
This is...
What do you think the problem with the mouse would be?
I dunno.
It's not feeling it, like the skates are off.
It's not clicking properly, I'm not sure Henry.
Could be lots of things.
I guess I'm running out of charge I suppose, maybe that's...
Possible.
Would you be just be changing full mouse, you're just gonna plug it in there.
I would say you plug it in over the new mouse.
He's not having a great game. He's 18-14.
I guess he may be, yeah.
Men check some life into it.
Can't do this. Fresh feelings.
Just an IRL, can ya?
No.
This is on the online kind of specialty.
Left the drawer open. I don't like that.
That's a bit of chaos. They're closed to draw.
Yeah, true.
Look, maybe he's keeping it open in case the mouse doesn't work and then he can...
Harry's back already.
Didn't even...
There's no way you went to the bathroom. It's too far away.
Unless you use a different lavatory.
They actually waited for me to return. What legends?
So if you've missed a Hunter has a tech issue of some variety, he's just changing his mouse.
I do need to go put my laundry in the dryer.
I'm going to go do that.
That's a euphemism for something.
Right. We can handle this, guys. We don't need Chad. We can do this.
I'm freaking out. We can do this. We can handle this.
out Henry. I don't know what to say. What do we say?
Uh, Shad normally guides the ship in. Rush, what should we talk about? You got any topics?
Are they going for this? What's in the mailbag? Anything? I'm freaking out.
Rush! Why is Rush not responding? Uh, hello, hello.
Hello, hello. Rush, that's what we're doing.
Shad's gone. We need you out of here. You're freaking out.
You're screwed, I think. What do we do with our Chad?
What does he normally do? He says something about the mailbag?
Yeah. Do you know the email, Hank?
No. Okay, I've got something.
Okay, it's an important game. Yeah, there's definitely implications this game
Could you explain the VRS system a little bit?
Oh, the Valve Ranking System?
Yeah, yeah.
No, original standard.
Valve Ranking System is a good system.
Basically, every game you win, you get some points. If you lose a game, you lose points.
However, it's the most points at the end goes to the major.
Okay.
And what's like a plus minus for like a game like this, for example, because I don't know much about the system
You know a lot, Hank, so I was kind of wondering like and how do they decide, you know?
Who decides I think the admins decide before the game the admins. Yeah
They should make it up all right admins decide like they look at the odds decide who's gonna win
Okay, and they base the the ranking system on that and how many of these VRS points
Do you need to actually like qualify it because I have no idea? I think it's like 400 400. Yeah, I see a lot
Geyser 400 that's a major 400 and then you get a slot and is there like a cutoff like a deadline or something
After the major that's to cut off after the major. Okay, right. All right
Once the major's finished we cut it off. We start again and it's what does the ass it it's valve ranking
Ranking. Yeah system. Oh, okay. Some reason I thought it was regional. No, but let's say I speak at a region then
Are there like differences in the regions like in terms of the ranking like or is it just one big list for every
Just a massive list. Yes. Do you have a link for that list? You can send me after the game
I just like to see it chat it what's up rush is trolling sounds like he's being facetious trolling
He's being sarcastic as soon as you walk away. He started trolling. They waited for your chat there. That's not alive
Is your laundry wet it is it will be dry by the end of today. I like this from happy. God. He's got to
What about none you go into the corner there was a chance that's what I meant obviously flash me
We're a fast-dive world.
Just clan.
Back on the menu.
I believe in them.
We all should believe in them.
Henry, this week we're doing a Swiss system.
I wanna get into it.
I need a pit hole.
It's quite the Swiss system.
It's complicated. It was invented in Switzerland in 1934.
Once they decided which system to use we adopted it to CS.
the CS and here we are three wins you go through three losses you're out that's
basically yeah but Hoffman made it or I can't remember who invented it
here's my question how did they know like CS was gonna be around to use it
that's why I was good question it is a good question I don't know the
etymology do you got the Wikipedia for the Swiss system 1895 it was first
sorry we're a little off but close dr. Julius Mueller was it made for
Counter-Strike it was designed to address the limitations around Robin
Okay, that one and Robin's bracket too slow and
knockout bracket too few games
Fair actually does solve both those problems
Great whole litany of new ones. I think actually the champion of it in the modern day Henry
So when you're familiar with something you beat in chess Alexandra boat as I believe it's a name. Yes
It's you beer in chess. Yeah, Henry Bader in chess. Is this true? It's not true
I don't want to say that it would be too much of a ball claim
Could you do you player? I think you could I couldn't you player? No, I can say we can't I can't I know I wouldn't I know
I definitely can't yeah, I know the piece I thought we've already played against blitz. I know all the pieces
The pawn moves forward
He always does wrong keep swimming once I ride the horse soft-legged shrimp goes nowhere far
I had to retire from chess.
Really?
I got addicted.
Oh!
Now T-Boy.
Not even once.
Enforced into B.
Heavy goat.
Defensive smoke.
You can actually play around this.
Oh, he bonked that Molly right there.
Bosh!
Sunny Pee on a Broke.
Another kill comes in.
Omnis and T-Sport lads.
Kind of like a nuke game for them.
Let me get the bomb.
Picked up.
Bit late though, isn't it?
Feels very light.
They going for this phase or I think so looks like in it. Watch this
See which heard the reload surely why knows now
This is God you have the timing
RVD
Frozen back over to mid carrying with the red space hunter paired up right now alongside a sunny P for the clear
all comes out of this really all by the sound cue arm and a leg and a bomb at
your feet sunny pays me great shout out to sunny pay albs this map as well
yeah now what this is malice map this is time so through sorry was first
discovered really even that proly ma jersey on ancient yeah and against g2
Exactly you go a big game very good knowledge of them shine Monash here everybody askin
Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom
Sign this
Series points that'd be the one all right well they have pushed it so we have less time to fill until the next game starts
So I see them
What's on this game seven? I believe it was seven less the big it is seven. Okay, so that is in
It will be later than 7.
Okay, so we still have time to fill.
So, never know. It will be 20 minutes after this match ends, and we have some content with Maus.
So we were discussing internally, the people at home, we can do one or two options.
We can all jump on a server, run around, do some nades, or option two, we can all just stay on the couch, read to me, Maus, chat some shit.
So, one if you want the nades, two if you want the nonsense talk, or three if you just want Amit to run content and you're fed up with us.
And if you need to speak to a real assistant, please hold
Henry will be counting in twitch chat every single comment that's made so we keep in our eyes
I have got my eye on twitch chat right now. I'm not happy with it
Really?
A lot of animosity in there right now
Towards us?
Not necessarily towards each other
Okay
Guys, be nice to each other
Sunny day
16 and 8
Climb in
Another strong map
Look, if we're... I'll start the rap
The fact that phase have shown a stronger face on that number two as opposed to that one. That's good, right?
They they bounded back in a way that's kind of made it I don't think it is good charge
No, I feel like you do you want to be taking a map in this series you face?
Oh, you should be but they got better than 13-1. I don't think we should be commending that necessarily
Commending it. I think what is on the floor? That's what we're saying. I'm kind of just aiming for something
Interesting then that's fair. I have
I have a great gym etiquette, but 13 to 10 the score line will read as G2 have turned the
screw today.
No matter the level of confidence, no matter the phase whisperer, no matter the belief,
no matter the God was talking to them, phase, the chance.
A battle that probably won't be remembered.
Chad, I think you're rapping too early, mate.
Go for that G2 with the
2v2 back on
Twist this is got a lot of speed. They've won. It's over. It's gonna never round. They've got this. They have the timing go
Come on
3, 2, win the win!
Phase locked out, 2v5 denied, it was right there and we all thought they'd done it.
It didn't do it.
Famously I've been known when to wrap it up.
We did, I apologize.
Henry calls the timeouts, I call the wraps, and we call this one tough.
I love my lesson.
It was one of the games, great stuff from G2, right?
They were looking pretty miserable in stage one, right?
It wasn't the best form, I know the Madison was a little bit upset with the way that they had displayed their play.
play. Again, we're very honest about things here at EPL. Maybe two on us, some could say,
but the online portion of this does also put an asterisk to caveat a question mark,
but this is two teams who are on the journey to the Major, right? Cologne, it feels like it's
around the corner. Both are going to be looking to book that spot and both have, let's say,
bumpy roads. It's not going to be clear, but there are still tournaments ahead. You saw
Liquid, they've signed themselves up for Roman 6, Dracula and 12. They're just
They just sign up for all the smaller events, right?
If you G2 in your face, you don't want to be in that boat.
All roads lead back to Dracula.
A's and Dracula confirmed.
I don't think they've signed up.
Liquid have though.
Liquid have, yeah.
Liquid have signed up.
Liquid have signed up.
So it's got to play something.
Yeah, as we were saying, yeah, they have rotted down,
but that's going to be it.
Then they just sign up for like 12 more events.
Yes, you have to.
Take everything we say and put it in a bin.
That's what I would recommend.
But that's the third series of the day done and dusted.
I'm trying to think what the biggest takeaways were of that.
Sunny P was great on dusting.
Water recovery.
leveling up right like you said stage 1 was pretty poor they lost a pain they had a painful
run so stomping phase even though phase on in the best form we know it's phase we know
what we can get g2 looking good they like to go 0-2 in the swiss system true traditionally
I don't think they like to go 0-2 but they tend to find themselves they kind of make a
joke out of it themselves they always say oh we always make it the hardest route possible
I'm not sure I look let me go on this you keep sorry you keep going I want to bring
something up here. That's all I already had.
Contribution I was ready to bring into the table.
This is God. Yeah. I mean, look, it's rough that they didn't win. Obviously, that's how they're feeling.
Sure. No one likes to lose. I feel a buck coming there.
There was some signs of life on map too. And I hope that's not good enough for FaZe, guys. Am I crazy?
No. Okay. Chad said that. You've said that.
I thought that's not... These are a few of their last YouTube videos that have been like
team vlogs. The truth behind phase CS2 disaster. That was one that came out two weeks ago. Okay,
then before that you go back a couple of months. We have how many views it again, sir? That one?
Yeah, 169. Nice. Use. How many views? The one back this was six months ago titled,
We're not a team right now. You go back. That has 210. Okay, so it's popular. Yeah, pretty
We have what really happened to phase simple at Blast CS2 major.
That must have a lot of views.
400k.
430.
They know what they're doing over there.
Number Wang.
Yeah, that is number Wang right there.
So there's been a couple right in and after this, I don't want one that's an online version
because there'll be, it won't be a very long video.
They're not going to do team speak talks.
The social media guys.
Why we stayed at home this pro league.
That could be a good title.
Good workshop being there.
That's actually good.
So we can get out of here we can play some content and we can get the next series underway not quicker
But at some point sure in the future
Last words. Oh, no, I don't have any words. I was just into that then
Come to you live and direct somewhat from across the street of
The Hamburg hopped Bonhoeff now that is the actual word I would use
Because tonight is a very special night. We've been invited to the home of mouse. That's mouse sports and with that said
They're gonna let us watch the EPL match and they've invited a whole bunch of their friends and family
Actually anybody in the city of Hamburg who wants to come out. I think you can just come on in
So yeah, we're gonna do just that we're gonna catch up with some players
We're gonna talk to some folks, but most importantly we're gonna watch EPL just like you are right now doing the right thing
Let's go
Oh, man, that's what it is!
Oh, please, you beam!
No chance, all dogs!

ESL presents the ESL Pro League in partnership with Intel Acer Predator.
D.H.L.
Zones.
And Jax.
It's mouse HQ, it's finally that time.
Taurus is going to jump in the server, we're going to watch him play Counter-Strike, we're
going to watch Mouse here in their home environment in their own home lab, we'll call it.
This is your house?
Is that fair to say?
Yeah, it's our house.
It's our home lab, as you said, here in Hamburg, next to the train station.
I mean, quite a nice place, yeah, this is where we bootcamp usually and play online
tournaments, so yeah.
It can't get much easier in the train station, right?
I mean, it's like right there, isn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty comfortable, you know, everything is close, city center, so yeah.
So you're going to this match today, we're jumping into ESL's pro league, season 23,
you know, it's been a lot of counter strike up to this moment.
You guys are projected at losing 27 odd points for the BRS, if something like this happens.
In the minutiae of BRS, how important is something like that? Is it important? What do you
think? It is really important, yes, I think, especially leading up to the major,
I think it's important for the top teams to make it to the major and also make it to the
first stage or what is it called? I'm not even sure, but it's important for the teams, you know?
So, yeah, and I think also this tournament is up there with one of the most important tournaments
next to Clash, I think, because it's a sweet system, so you play a lot of games.
There is a lot of possibility to gain VRS points or lose VRS points. It depends how you
place so yeah it is a really important tournament. Speaking of Cluj you said the
golden word I was looking for there because you know you guys did this whole
semi-final thing you got the second pistol converted on dust too but you guys
didn't really like press down the accelerator what happened there versus a
paravision? Yeah I think versus paravision we we chose a little bit I
would say like I don't know they play pretty good and we couldn't find the
answers at that moment and yeah we didn't play our best game to best and yeah that's it.
So I move you forward or move you backwards a little bit.
Quarterfinal, we'll talk a little bit about Navi.
What are the odds of Malz adding Ancient to the map pool for you guys?
What is that happening?
Is that on the radar?
Is that...
Because I don't know the videos.
It could have happened today but...
Of course we are playing Ancient.
Today?
Today?
No, we are not playing Ancient today.
But we are practicing it, we are playing it a lot.
And I think we are a good Asian team,
but the teams are just not picking versus us.
And it's also, I feel like it's a little bit of a random map
because on mid, it's decided the game sometimes a lot.
In like 15 seconds, you know, who wins the spamming,
the smokes or who is winning the flashes on mid.
And that's the game-based agglomation.
So it's a little bit of random.
So yeah, we don't, I mean, we like the map, but I think we are better on some other maps as well.
As long as you're having a good time, right? Like, I think that's where you and I go eye to eye and
level level and things, which brings me to my next and last question. You have Heroic in front
of you today. They were calling them onliners last year. You know, what is it about a team
like Heroic that keeps them in contention that can keep them pressing the buttons of top teams?
I think Heroic is like a young team. I think they are an upcoming team and they have a lot of decent players who maybe don't have enough experience yet, I would say, but I think they are just young players who are really scared and I think they just need some more experience.
experience. I think the IGL is a big talent from Denmark and he's leading the team really well.
And yeah, I think it's just a question of time that when they will get to the next stage,
you know, and make it to the playoffs or to the bigger lancer. But I think they are pretty good,
but also they are having a problem with Alcoran, you know, and not having
like they are having some visual issues as far as I know so yeah it can be difficult at the
inter-situation at the same time.
You guys built your own stage here, you got some people out there, they're probably going
to hear this while you have your in-ears and all your bells and whistles on.
Do you want to talk to them?
Do you want to say anything to them real quick?
Yeah, I hope you guys really enjoyed the game and hope you will support us and cheer
for us and yeah, we are happy to have you here.
I would hope they are cheering for them in the match facility, you're in the home town.
You imagine?
One place they're going to cheer for you shortly in your own backyard.
You go out to the mouse facility to talk shit over the mouse.
Boo!
You hate mouse, Boo!
The heck lose in the mouse studio.
You've been writing all of stage one to finally get Torsche back in the server.
Are mouse quotes in the mud?
They are not in the mud.
mud. This is their tournament to win.
Gentlemen, before we get stuck into the mouse conversation, because we've got to get into
some of Tracer's questions there as well about ancient, I think you met Anubis, regardless.
That was...
We've got to see...
We know what he meant.
I know what he meant.
We've got to get into questions regarding who got who for the DHL MVP, so let's quickly
check in.
I've got to bang out here.
Oh, Hugo, you got Donk.
You happy with that?
Well, it was probably everyone's first pick.
I think you're insane if it wasn't your first pick, so I really can't complain.
I got Shiro, which is a great choice as well.
Second bow, I'm really happy with that.
Henry, I know you think Kcerot is a good choice.
I think it's a great choice. Why? You're not happy at all.
Stage 2, Chad. This doesn't include the lap.
Exactly. Exactly.
OK.
I thought about that as well.
I've considered that.
Fair enough.
Jason's got Molador. You have nothing to say about that.
Yeah, fair. But it was going to be the same boat.
OK. It was the same boat.
Harry, you have a player who's in the server right now.
I have Spinks.
Yeah.
He's been playing real good.
Happy with that?
He's been playing real good.
He's the opposite in the mud.
is sparkling clean.
Okay, all right.
Well, I'm excited to see what he has to offer right now.
Also, people want to email in a lot of them coming through.
I can't actually read through all of them.
That's when you email us.
They're up at DHL Mailbag at EFG.
And you can ask anything you want, really, can't you?
Anything really.
And we can ask anyone in the room.
Whatever we want.
Anyone.
Anyone here.
Oh, hold up, we got one in from Jampot.
Hey, lads, loving this stream.
Do you dream about CS when you go to bed
after casting all day?
If I run too much Premier before bed,
I am dreaming that I'm running down mid a mirage all night not gonna lie
I have a sometimes if I do play like I do tft the game if I play that like until I fall in the morning
I'll be lying a bed trying to sleep and I'll still think I'm in a game
I still think I'm playing one on behalf of sleep half awake. So I kind of know what he means
I don't get it with CS. I use that counter strike dreams
I'm bad thinking about it if I had a great game
I'm reliving the best moments, but I had a horrible game and lost like one round
I'm thinking about that one round that one decision I made and that one miss peak or over peak
And what I could have done and how I didn't need to do that and then I fall asleep. Oh
How do you dream about cameras sometimes of nightmares about casting?
Like horrible like you've sold your trousers and I did it. I did have one where I
Mean you were both nude
And then the cameras cut to us and we're in the Lancers. We were doing cologne
You're in the Lexus.
Yeah, and we were like, don't worry, we won't be on camera.
And then Tom Eric in my ears, that's who it was for some reason.
Okay.
Said, we're coming to you on cams.
And you were like, no.
And then there we were.
And everyone in the arena was cheering.
Were you standing or sitting?
Standing.
Normally the shot is from about Tulsa.
Was he standing or sitting?
Nope, leave that one.
I know what he means.
Oh, you sly man. Cheeky.
Oh dear, we have fun around here, don't we?
We have fun.
Yeah, we have fun.
You were like an amorphous, you were like a, what's that little clay?
Like a kindle.
No, the little clay creak.
Morph.
Morph.
You were like morph, you had the morph build going on.
Morph build.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Well, you make us a six pack though, right?
So it's okay.
Guys, watch this.
Look what we have.
Oh, we're looking.
Wow.
They are we've done this before and they actually muted us in the mouse handbook arena. I think you have to right?
They had a lot on we have
Let's do this
Whoever is in there in the arena right now if you want to signal that you can actually hear the castes at some points
We're out. Could you hold some version of a sign right?
I'm a piece of paper or whatever it towards the camera. I don't have it
What work it has a piece of paper
paper
They're gonna be there watching a four minutes late
So they wouldn't be able to commentators wouldn't be to come from this
They've got a direct feed from the production for a live commentary
But they would be watching if they're be watching the stream exactly but our streams before when it's behind the action
It's live. They're watching and that's what they're gonna say. Yeah, that is what they see. Yeah, we've done this
Well, we've done this and then we're on my game and they were four minutes behind
Just for bouncy when mouse playing online. Yeah, so we had a PL as well one point of thing
Yeah, well, we we could hear ourselves four minutes in the past when they showed
Oh, okay. All right. So we make jokes and four minutes later, we get a good laugh out of it.
Yeah, you'd hear.
And then four minutes later, they turned us off.
All right.
So it sounds like they probably won't do it then, if it didn't work.
Well, maybe it's hard to start, Henry. Maybe they're keeping track of how you're going to, how you're going to cast the game.
Should we do the veto?
It really worked.
Let's do the veto challenge.
What about the veto? I can throw it around the dust too, be the first one.
Well, I shouldn't be played.
Ah, a noob is why I beat. I'll tell you that much.
There it is. It's gone.
Yeah, that's to kick things off. Oh, it's a fragus paradise. We have got mirage. We're back as well and inferno everyone's favorite
I'll classic a no graveyard anymore you inferno image on the video is favorite position production ahead of the game
Is it a quality? Yeah, it's graveyard. Look you great. Oh, right? No, it's all shit
I've thrown you under the bus production row see it is old seeing the
Now is bootcamp at night is a nice one. It's all the right or not
Yeah, it's a Friday night. I like going to a club. Would you go to the club if the club was the mouse HQ?
Chad John the truth
Yes, always won the truth no way in the world. Oh, you got more chance. Give me a real club. What okay?
What is that on the table? Hey, oh, you don't have just if I had the choice between the two Chad
That's my name about this. Uh-huh. We go us for go to the club and rush and J
Russia got his six rush would come if you want the club from them he's a super
We got to keep him inside to get everyone sick
Only to build our immune systems do you can have a book down the booth will be private a book in the club?
Yeah, oh, come on Chad come on, man. Yes, Russian
Chad's thinking about it. I'll bring a steam deck if you if you
Play games if it's overwhelming. I won't drink with you as well
We can just have a little sober club, you know down the damn side of a club club
Look at exertion's cam. It's crazy. It's a nice look. It's sick, isn't it? I'm sure it all I love it
We have fun. What is up? It's in the matrix right now. Isn't he at the boot camp?
No, it doesn't look like it
How many players the mouse of the boot camp we know I assume for Jimmy and Torgy at a minimum
Oh, so all the cameras are gone
GG. There you guys just absorption cam. Oh, we got it. We got snus cam snooze snooze
pew. All right, we're having issues here. Stand by. We are working on it. Standing by.
Coming in. That's coming in. Rush, do you hear the sounds?
There we go. We're back. And looking into the webcam situation looks like we're good there as
well. Roll into the bootcamp. Oh, see you later, mate. Maybe he wishes he wasn't in the bootcamp
after that one. Sweet on sweet violence. Or expressions at the club.
Just... just... just... uh, we have fun.
Here we go, then, Torgie. What do you got?
Now, towards long, maulking good here.
Mouse, in a wilder pain, but Jimmy, with the push towards the tunnels,
does bring it back to a foreign form.
The ball must be implanted! Huge advances here for Heroic.
surprise package of stage 1, I would say.
No one expected much.
Took our power vision.
On Dust 2. Unbelievable scenes.
Can they do it against Mouse as well?
I would say probably not, but this is a great start.
Pistol, calm down, 40-4, some dangerous fights here from Crisn.
And there you go, Mao's moving fast, but heroic, hitting hard, 3v3.
Another shot connects, exertion. Getting flashbang right now, still nails it, now back along Nilo.
Oh, he can't get the kill on the cover, and the diffused is low.
It's going to be down close. I think they've lost.
No, they've got it.
Calculated.
Common that's exactly what they were hoping for a quick couple. Okay, so exertion's not there
Exertion I guess no spings. Okay. Well, we've got three of the five
At least three of them are there, you know, you can rock up you can see those three
You can get autographs
Can see three play I'll see three of us
Traces there as well. Can you trade that's true?
Stunner as well, Trace is there.
He'll be the guy throwing eggs or something at the booth.
Look how close they are, it's intimate.
It does feel like a zoo, though, doesn't it?
It's a big family.
Can you tap on the glass or that game?
What kind of fan experience do you think they're offering there?
Do you have those beverages, refreshments?
Well, I think you're close to the pod.
I don't have a clubbed pipe, but I'm comfortable.
Pod or service, like a booth?
You're paying your way.
Let's trace, look for Stunner.
And Han, zoom in.
You were definitely paying for beverages there, Henry.
That's this is a money-making operation.
I guess it's Ross!
What?
On the right-hand side.
Yeah, that is Ross.
That's Ross.
She saw me with him, surely.
So we sent Ross to another country.
Mr. Avi West himself.
Oh, look at him go.
Is he Avi West in right now?
Can he come in?
Yeah, he is.
He is Avi West in, yeah.
So we can get the Ross to Avi West or?
We're not working on it.
We'll try again.
We actually have got it.
We actually have got it.
We have our own camera on the game.
and that's it.
There he is!
Oh!
And we're in there.
Oh, we got a button up boys.
We got to make this professional.
Oh, we're talking about nightclubs in there.
Hahaha.
We're talking about booths and nightclubs.
We just, let's get to the part where I said,
about rather going to an actual club then.
Yep.
Where those people are.
Hey, hey, you're not, so.
Yeah, really, Robbidale.
No, he was just joking.
He'd love to be there with you in person.
He has to be here, unfortunately.
Maybe next season you can be the man on the street,
Chad and join.
I've been to Hamburg before, Henry?
No.
I've been to Hamburg before.
Oh, actually, I was supposed to live there.
I've been there.
I have been there.
I was supposed to move there 15 years ago.
What does your agency say if it's to be really good for you?
Hamburg, Torrent.
That speaks his head.
There he is.
Oh, it speaks his head.
He's up and coming.
So there you go.
It's four out of the five.
Yeah, I've been there a few times.
I've been there once.
No, I've been there more than once.
Have you ever been to Creffel?
I have been to Creffel.
I've been there a few times.
I've been there a few times.
Not a lovely part of the world, I would say.
One of the parts, one of the parts.
They're all worse than Hamburg, check.
Much worse.
Okay.
Hamburg looks nice.
Maus are really selling it to me.
Does it all look like this?
Yeah.
That is the inside of this box.
Every building is like that.
Oh, we have fun.
Sometimes too much fun.
Hello, Hamburg.
Are you having fun in Hamburg?
Make some noise.
Oh, that's good to hear.
Put your cans in the air.
Horsing round to warp don't lose the pistols. Oh, I've seen this one before
Surely they land the mid that's perfect lineup. This isn't due to that's an easy man and the frow
Yep, the man and the woman. Yes, do a suppression torch
No, nine nine
Easiest one
Rush the others good
Hello?
It's going home.
Ah, V gates there. Should we go?
Ah, a schizo.
Ah.
Achtung, Beter.
Yeah, Achtung on Spinks.
Hit the M4.
1-5.
Panic and dry.
Panic and dry.
My chance.
Laundry.
Panic and dry.
Overdry the laundry that's my top set. It's just underwear and socks like yeah, love it soggy true just jocks and socks
Okay, oh you normally do this in the sink. Yeah, but I thought that's the virtual system
I got a washing machine available at the studio as we use it sink or swim
The virtual system is unreal
Washes his pants and socks in the sink hangs them up in the bathroom
Unbelievable he does it a lot and it works. Yeah
It works
Yeah, why wouldn't you know I've done that it's so
yourself five euros there yeah but this one's free it is free what am i hearing
there's like a pterodactyl in this room that's me screaming in the comms there's
so many voices right now i'm screaming down the columns just so uh it stops
sorry sorry everyone sorry just tell him to shut up or shut up
there you go now guys it's okay young starts trying to believe he's in
in Hamburg look at his cam look at shimmy nine look he's got a
he wants to be part of mouse snusp snooze snooze
do we think two oh yeah but that's a score right now i think with furia no longer in
and contention for the title than using mouse have a chance of that third place
aside I think it's mouse versus spirit grand final see that one before very
likely there was no thing about it is yes so is it said standing in yeah in the
playoffs so I'll make this offer to furia you'll stand in I'll stand in if
they want I don't you haven't been registered so I think you can you know
but I think we can make an exception just don't think we can that's kind of
why rules exist.
We just made the rules, just one time.
Just this once.
I mean if all the players agree to win an eco, yeah if everyone agree, that's they're gonna
win an eco.
They're gonna agree to break the rules.
Why are the rules even there?
They are gonna win an eco.
All back turned gold.
Cover from Torsi.
What's getting at it?
Dicey boys.
Crizzan.
In a 1v2.
Would lock any other weapons. No names. Yeah, fair and no hair.
Here's the question, Harry. If by some miracle they let me.
Heroic win. No, not they let you. You're not playing. I'll tell you now, you are not playing.
I'm not trying to ruin the party. I'm just telling you. Do you know me, House Levinsky?
Yeah, not personally, but...
He's a stickler for the rules. Kind of his whole life.
No, but maybe if I...
He and the rules guy.
...leave Posey up to him.
No. No one is corruptible in the Abend department. I'll tell you that much.
Okay, but what if all the teams agreed to it?
I wouldn't.
Should we start a little competition for the guys in the mouse studio right now?
Whoever can get the best selfie with stunner gets maybe some sort of prize.
What constitutes best?
Funniest.
Funniest.
It's impressive.
I think whoever can do that, if you can hear it right now, find stunner, get the
best selfie, we'll organize prize for everyone.
I still need a little bit of time to calm down.
about a crowd just freaks miles out apparently.
Yeah, I think it's time to calm down, but they're in the B.
They are well in the B.
Jimmy B.
Doesn't like what he sees.
Well B.
Oh, the Supermarket are available.
Tesco, Lidl, Alley, Woolworths, Coles.
And more.
I
Saved it or so you haven't all right playing an exciting brand of counter strike here. That's
minus one aura
You've got 70 IQ. Oh, I can't talk about it
Today maybe honestly
You have you feel like you have 70 IQ today. Yeah, I
Was in the club too last night. I actually wasn't in the club. Okay. I was I was in the mind club
You're in the mud.
You're in the mud.
You're in the mud.
You're in the mud.
Mindfuck, lying in bed.
What happened?
Sinking.
Oh, overthinking.
No, not even.
They played like five games of face at last night.
And lost one, and he couldn't sleep because of the one
last night.
I don't even think about the one last night.
I think about all the wins.
Everybody in the mud getting tipsy.
Dirty was right there.
Everybody in the mud getting dirty.
I think tipsy sold it so we knew the song that he was
doing.
If we were running a full parody song, I think maybe we'd use your line though, here you go.
New Mauser's video title.
Are they doing the device flashes?
No.
The Biker Mice from Hamburg.
Was that English?
Yeah, there's Biker Mice.
Biker Mice from Hamburg.
The Biker Mice from Mars.

It was pretty good.
Danger Mouse.
After that.
Yeah.
Like kind of in between.
Wait, what?
This came after, that thing came after Danger Mouse?
I think so.
Danger Mouse is a classic.
Danger Mouse told us all about it.

And one player left, far removed
This could be crazy towards Midor
And a successful round for Maus, smiles all round
Jimmy P, love that one, good stuff from Jimmy P
Brother of Sunny P
Glass of HG, bro
Is that tomato juice?
It did look like it was very thick
Oh, up below, a little cola
What's the what's the drink the German drink? Um, is the
Cola yes fritz fritz. I don't say a brand name. I don't know if I like other brands are available the rush
If you follow the brands available follow with that. You're okay
What's the brand available? What's that like tomorrow drink that people drink tomorrow juice? No, like what he married?
Oh, you think he's having a bloody marry while planning its mouths on a Friday night in the club
He's in the club. I'm having a bloody marriage
Bloody hell Mary
They're out from Jimson. One of the rounds.
Oh, the energy's there, isn't it? They're having a great time.
Oh, so snus.
That's a nice nade.
I like that. You know, you come in, you throw the nade.
Now they're so fearful that you're hanging around it lower
they're going to have to use a molly, a flash, some trade work.
But you're not there. You've dipped away.
Oh.
Try a little bit of a snus.
And away you go.
Well, he's been doing pretty good on that one, hasn't he?
He's starting to become known as an offer.
That's true. Starting to be known as an Orca.
It's a new one. We haven't used that one before.
Recently.
Oh.
Toshi, he's making all the right moves.
Toshi ain't giving away anything yet.
Toshi, kind of the old young master.
It's a dog in the house.
Oh, rough, rough.
That's what I'm like.
Toshi is a lot of quotable lines.
Yeah.
He has aura.
They missed the Molly.
I like that job.
Good job on lineup for that if they want.
It's a bit lower, wouldn't it?
Just a little bit.
Just a, just a nudge.
Good flash, though.
Very good flash.
One of the flashes.
Fifty seconds.
It's cross.
It's a fake.
They're going to go out.
Does he read it?
They're going out, surely.
Surtian hanging around.
He's not too sure.
I'll meet X-File.
Loves the dust too.
There's this guy.
And he's going to walk.
Oh, I'm into A.
Surtian checked it for us.
He never see one of these.
Oh, he's so ready. He is locked in. Now they know where it's going up. Cat into Brolin. Good position.
He's broken short as well.
Oh, could have been in a good position, but they break the smoke. 20 seconds, missed charge.
Oh, he's in the mud.
Oh, dear.
Oops.
All right, save. Four to two.
Could have turned for an exertion on the open, but that'll be that.
Man, I wasn't really playing by the book on there.
You know, if there was a book, they'd be writing it.
It is the book.
I don't know if they'd be reading from it.
Fair.
Yeah.
They're not like pioneering anything to be right again.
You're right.
That's...
Totally fucked up.
That's uh, expected critique there. Harry, I'll take that one on the chin.
Quick rummage. Here for heroic.
Speaking of rummaging.
You want to go to the mail bag?
Yeah, just see.
We're gonna find more life in this. We gotta find a thing. We gotta find our bit.
What could our bit for this series?
Can I have a look at the mail bag?
It's on my phone.
Yeah.
If you don't read any of my private emails.
I will try not to, but if there's any really tempting ones...
This is like the ultimate truck. Yeah, I feel like we're on one of those, like, YouTube long short game shows.
I have all the people in... I've got nothing to hide.
My life is boring as hell.
All I do is Counter-Strike.
Exactly. Excellent.
Counter-Strike. Nightclubs. Broadcasts.
Club.
Hamburg. Hamburgers.
Alright, someone's asking why I ducked the 1v1 v-crisis and I didn't.
It was a server issue, but we can't have rectified it.
So if I win, Harry, will you take on Crizzan?
I will, but I don't know if they're gonna win.
Well, that wasn't the question, was it, Harry?
Yeah, I would.
You don't have your mousepad, Harry.
That's fine.
Alright.
I don't need it.
Dude, I could beat him on an Xbox controller.
1v1's back on.
40-year-old mechanic versus Harry Russell, also known as Gizmi.
Or the Gizmodo Dragon.
Nice slow default it really going through the motions on they
Nice and slow
Very slow indeed bombs and tees born and all those are walking in snoops Jimmy doesn't know he's gonna find out the loss
Okay, I have a good one from the mail bag. I'll do it. Well, no no no we can get to the end of this round of the cow throw it in
Exciting
The bomb is in spawn. Oh, no.
Nilo's got a head up. He can go back to B.
I don't like that the bomb's in T spawn.
Youngstar's realizing now.
Guys, the whole round was meant to be set up ready to go, and you've just realized that the bomb is down the package.
How's our setup?
The objective.
They have no map control as of yet.
Let's see what they can do. Actually, we have Chris and Almyd. That's not bad.
Olly is great on long.
31 seconds.
I'm wasting their time.
Uh oh. Uh oh!
Nice work.
Park you being in his position that point in the round, he's not punishing you.
Gorgeous.
Save.
Considering the rounds they have been saving on Hugo, it's a save.
You've already said the precedent earlier.
They have shown that they are not up for any fight that is even remotely difficult.
Okay, I think this one is for you guys.
Sometimes I see you guys or other casters being critical of players or teams
Ah, this is a very good one. I'm gonna lose it. You ever get worried that you might piss some people off and make someone hate you forever?
Yeah, the players or the fans. It didn't specify, but I'm guessing it means players. I
Don't I don't worry about that because when I was a player
I'm used to mute all casters, so I imagine they do the same
I don't think they care what we have to say at all. Yeah
Like, adult.
Some of them do get mad.
Well, so then it says, I know most people get that you're just doing your job and being professional.
Have there ever been any overly sensitive players that have confronted you or tried to stop you?
Sorry? Any thoughts on that?
Sounds like you guys have a story here.
No, I'm not going to tell it.
What? Who?
Mouth it to me.
I can see who you're saying from here.
Oh, I don't have my glasses on guys if you can't share with the audience. This is this is a pointless
Dude Harry, I said a dm
Write it down write it down here on the laptop. There we go. At least we should have a share this
No, we shouldn't share this. Oh jl about one time
Okay, there you go jl for harry and angry dm. He did he did
How angry it wasn't super angry he misunderstood what harry said
It was kind of funny.
I phrased something a little poorly, but I was like,
Well, yeah, it wasn't how he'd best work.
You know, I was saying, it was when
Mccasey had his debut in Co.
OK.
And they had that really good run,
but then things started to fall apart.
But I was like, oh, well, can't even blame Mccasey,
because he's having, like, within this season, you know,
he's like matching even the numbers that, like,
he's outdone JL's numbers from him.
And then JL was like, that was not the best game
I ever played versus this team.
I'm like, no, I know it's in this season, but he thought I was he thought I was like being mean about him
But I wasn't also some different positions were played for yeah
It was no one's best work. Yeah
But I'm glad we got into it and the people at home got to listen. I can say I've never had a
I think me and JL. We're cool. Yeah, and crack up. We went to the club
6am finish. 6am finish.
Into the big final few days.
It's good the mouse decided they didn't want to save in this round and actually took some
fights. It speaks to the double kill 9 and 2. Beautiful work from him and they'll just
be able to putt this one in. There's out the long doors. Scamp is near low.
Donald Sande Crescent and Youngster packing. 5v2 ensues with 50 seconds left of the
clock and this is likely to be a 5v3 scoreline in favour of the mouse.
Alright one more from Sam who works at Heroic.
I'll say dear ESL people heroic staff are watching from HQ. You aren't talking enough about our team. Please do more
Well, a lot about mouse to be fair, but they have got the whole studio situation going on there at a HQ
Yeah, we're kind of an HQ. We've seen a lot of her. I guess being good. I don't think they're gonna like me talk
Christian
Heroics leadership
There's Tobias birthday the other day. Oh, yeah, so he's named me in rush as well
But by, yeah, within 20 days, within 20 days, I think that's close.
I don't want to say anything.
My God, there's also this here.
Is there?
Yeah.
Anything else in there, Harry?
I'm rummaging.
Oh, we lost X.
Okay, here's one.
Okay.
I don't know what this is.
Great.
Good stuff.
Don't let me read this out on air.
This is directed in Hugo.
We all love you, but for the love of God, please reconsider your pronoun.
Annunciation of the map Mirage it's driving me crazy same and now say it Mirage. Oh
I see what they're saying. Oh cuz I'm Mirage. No, it's the G
Horrible emphasizing the G Mirage. Yeah
Mirage Mirage, that's better. That was nicer already. No, I'm it's a change you're doing a longer
I don't have a problem with the way I didn't even know I think it's fine. It's fine. This is your furrier
It's crazy someone's taking the time to email and tell us that I'm gonna reconsider it. Thank you Michael
I didn't even notice that about him. I'm gonna consider it. I'm gonna reconsider it
Oh, we got time for plenty more emails. I'm not gonna change anything. No, I will look it never bothered me
No, never will to tell you the truth. You go. Thanks for your opinion. All right. They're large. I'm gonna think about a Raj
I'm saying even Feth can be now.
Maraj.
What do you sell on me?
Maraj.
Maraj.
Maraj.
Maraj.
That's how you say it.
Maraj.
No, I've never done that.
Hey, Maraj.
Say Maraj.
Someone sent in just a hot buzz reference, but I like it.
Someone said, how would you describe your perfect Sunday?
Is that a question?
Right.
That's great.
That's a good one.
That is good.
Maraj, say that again.
Maraj.
Yeah, yeah, I am the problem, right.
Right, right, right.
No, but if you listen to them back to back,
you'll see what he's talking about.
No, no, that wasn't sarcastic.
I am the only one saying this.
Okay, all right.
But I think you can get over it.
Mate, I say words wrong all the time, I don't care.
Pardon the shtick, I guess.
Okay, someone said phase G2 merger.
This is from Pierre.
Why would G2 merge with phase?
What do you think of merging G2 and phase
to make phase two.
Some pipes to phase.
Frozen twists, heavy god, hunter, IGL,
and for AWP, you keep both some pipes and break them.
And switch them based on vibes from tournament to tournament.
If it's Brokey Friday, you've got to break it.
Salking coach and Karrigan becomes an analyst.
So, like, keep heavy god and who?
It's frozen twists, heavy god, hunter, and then vibe or?
If you want to go frozen and twists,
I'd have to have Madis and Heavy God, because I need Madis as my aggro, Twisk can facilitate
Heavy God and Frozen can take extremities, Twisk can in-game lead and then I'll take
Sunny P.
Okay, you wouldn't do the Vi-Borb?
No.
Okay, there you go, that's Jads.
That'd be my phase two.
Phase two, mate.
Phase two.
Okay, what about this one?
Yep.
This is from Evan.
My friend mark is watching right now while working his shitty job that requires him to work late almost every night for no extra pay
Oh, this is interfering with our ability to queue premier at a reasonable hour after work if anything
Hit mark's put it on your favor right now. You're avoiding playing against cheaters
Can you help me convince him to quit and get a better job?
That's a lot
So no extra pay he would be getting paid to be there
I assume what is meant by this is not paid for working late. Yes, but if you're just working late at night in general
Yeah, you know extra money. No, you've signed up for that
But if you are doing it on the weekend like a Sunday, for example, I think you should get extra money or get a new job
I guess if you know, we have to work nights
But is it like is it a job that is contributing to his career or is just a job these and sound like yeah
Doesn't sound like you know, but think about it. He read references as a shitty job
When you're a younger man here, you do jobs like a nightfill at a supermarket, right?
I did that too.
Yeah.
Oh, we have from someone on the ground at the Mauser HQ.
Here we go.
Subject line.
Dilemma.
Hey, I'm currently at the Mauser HQ for Maus vs Heroic.
They're offering chips and popcorn.
The question is, are you a chips or a popcorn guy?
Wait, so crisps?
That's a big question.
Crisps or chips?
What?
Because if it...
Oh, yeah, that's nice.
Hot chips?
If it's chips, I think hot chips.
Hot chips.
And if it's crisps, it's crisps.
Hot chips.
Potato, hot potato, hot potato.
We call them hot chips in Australia, all right?
You got chips, which are crisps, or hot chips?
Let's call them crisps.
I think that's what he means.
Yeah, I'm assuming crisps.
Well, that is Germany, but crisps.
Crisps.
Oh, bloods, what's it going to mean?
Crisps or popcorn?
Depends.
Here's a problem.
In Germany, or crisps, they like sweet popcorn.
So if it's salty buttered popcorn.
Thumbs up.
or crisps, I would take the salty popcorn.
I know this may be unpopular.
I like salty popcorn.
I don't mind sweet popcorn.
I like sweet and salty popcorn, the one where it's combined.
That's really good.
Then you add a bit more salt to it.
Anyway, guys, it's been good.
EPO season 23 for day number one of stage two
will be closing down.
If you guys had a good time.
Hamburg, if you've got chips, hold them up in the air.
If you've got popcorn, hold them up in the air.
Let's do a count.
Put your chips in the air.
The boys yeah can't wait to come watch the final in stock home if you could force valve to change something on any of the maps
What's the chat virtue? Yeah, it's actually done this. So we have an expert didn't force them just gave
What was the context there? Why did they take in the post?
Did you make a comment about inferno back in Austin?
I was talking with one of the devs regarding inferno and why the map is a bit and obviously retakes one of the things
Which leads to a lot of saving and I'm saying that something like graveyard on the A site
Which never used to exist back in 1.6 sure is an added issue. You don't even get you don't even hold it as a CT
It's not a position you use on the CT side
It's only one that you would use on the T side in a retake. So that was you know my my suggestion
So it's actually post which is pretty cool. Yeah
You're kind of the number one guy in a way. We have we've talked about future birthdays a bunch
So I'm gonna read this one. Hope it's all going well with all of you
Can I get an early happy birthday shout out to my friend Katya?
It's in a couple of weeks like mine and rush is is it the 24th of March?
Is it the 24th because if it is hell, yeah, it's in a couple of weeks
But she makes me immensely happy and she introduced me to watching high-tscs
Okay, so happy birthday happy future birthday to catch you or if you play it now in the future
Happy birthday
All right, cool. You go
Harry's loving the mail bag dude. I do love the mail bag. How's that?
How's that Google Pixel feeling in those hands feels and look at the screen. It's not a single crack on this MF
What's your battery up?
79 oh dear. What do you mean? It's like a PM
Yeah, this is funny. This will get you to the club and back
So you need um, okay
We have a longer tech pause here
Hey, so now that you're all in Sweden. Have you tried any snus or any other sweet?
I've been trying all of them all this which one this news for the
This is probably the same one snusp is taken. Okay. I I'll let everybody at home
No, I am not a fan of any nicotine products of any variations. So
No, I haven't been trying the snus or snooze. Oh
Live and we're live that concludes the DHL mail bag segment wonderful
Let's get into I get my phone by the yes. Yes, you may
Hey, never alone with the phone you never are we actually what we felt like we were a part of something bigger than
Well, let's see if heroic can pull the socks up close the gap. That's a round of a nine
Full gun round here young son the AWP great showing the EPS so far currently three and four
Looking for the opening pick in towards the flashbang catch them sendry goes down
But Chad we've got all five players over towards V. You know what that means surely a beeper. We'll use a device flashes
They're going contact sneaking.
They're trying to catch Jimmy with a lock down,
but then they run the Molly and despite health taken,
good shot on the cross.
Torsley doesn't let them in for free.
Bomb will make it.
Chris will make it a little bit later.
Oh, that went spawn.
So he's not going to catch this.
Chris is so late, though.
They Molly mid.
They can focus on this B play right now.
They don't know Chris is here.
Neelo put down low.
I have an idea.
Chris is here.
Was she holding for a lurker, Brolin, getting in position?
But I'll tell them to find out. It might be too late. Good molly.
He'll have forced a reposition.
Chris is still waiting behind the door.
Brolin's got the flank.
Of course she's got him.
Who's later? Torsche or Chrison?
They know. Now they can go into the site on the stick.
Yes, just diffuse.
Stick it.
Yeah, they call this guy the baby goat for a reason.
Oh, the kit is on Brolin who's tunnel site.
So she's just picked one up, but it doesn't matter.
All right, six to three.
Well done.
So Mous will be in the grand final of the EPL's 23rd season.
Trace has sent a message in the group chat
like he's like our uncle or something.
I don't know.
Young stars tell us his Christmas tree
up with an exclamation mark.
Thank you, Trace.
Oh, it's just, man, we are in March.
And the Christmas, if you don't take it down,
you don't have to put it back up.
It's true.
Got a long enough timeline.
It's always going to be fine.
It's Christmas somewhere, I'm sure.
We can see it just behind him.
Is that a Christmas tree?
Maybe it is.
That's for a photo of a Christmas tree.
A photo of happy memories.
How long they got?
Rolling under pressure.
Push back off the line.
Long control taken.
Oh, for a long spot season.
Now Torsche meant to come down.
Does his part of the job?
Torsche feeling it.
Snowed in towards Long Rite now.
They might be stuffed like a Christmas turkey.
Everyone at long. Again. They're going to have to commit.
Longer, I believe.
Longer.
Now we can't do this.
For now, we should have had a hell of a shot.
Something's gone wrong.
Well, we found out a bit.
Yeah!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
It always finds a way.
It took a while.
Life's back in the room.
The party's back on.
We're in the club.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
3 on 2 now.
Difficult bomb side to hold.
It's down to Xplow and Snusp.
See whether they can hold on.
Have they got any utility chat?
Just one flash.
Winnable.
Watch them save.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
No, surely not.
Oh!
Now they might!
Now they might, convincing.
Back on, but gotta go quick, hiding out.
Kit drops.
Oh, when?
Spinks.
Go, go, go.
And he might just have to be down close.
He's got it.
That was smooth.
He's got it.
He has got it.
He has got it.
He's got it.
He's got it.
You just got a note of defuse time.
Yeah, you do.
This is actually, you can tell the low IQ people
that have like the music on to give them the hint.
You don't need the music, like it's just you just know when there's time back in our day
We didn't have music. No, I hate it like you can mean invented yet. Oh, I hear the halo. I hear the halo theme
We can still deep use like it's so cringe. Is it cringe?
Prenj is a word. I think they've added it for for noobs, right? It's so people yeah, but pros have it on sometimes Hugo as it on
I mean, you know, you might as well have it on when I use the term noobs there.
What I didn't mean to call that people who use it new.
So I mean, new players, right?
So they were able to like, Harry, do you use follow recall?
Yeah, that's the news.
Oh, you were tactical edge.
Yeah, but it's for noobs.
It's to show them the way the recall works.
It's been a return to common.
I just wanted to use that word always dreamed of it.
There it was speaking on.
It's an open ify youngster, he's always dreamed of warping, here he is doing exactly that.
Speeding up cap?
Now, let's solve this, he's always playing game leading, but he can't.
Oh, he did actually, good tired!
Jimmy Peacow in this.
He's been sent for a save.
Whereas Chris is more of like a test tube, I tell ya.
Always wise, always is, always will be, yeah.
Other birthing methods are available.
and probably preferred really I would say if we start creating people in labs it's
over I'm gonna put on the record right now well it's over to the whole Jim
Kerry situation that's what people are speculating he did it was him his
publicist came out and said it was him of course she's gonna say that yeah
that doesn't confirm anything speculating he was cloned and he has an army of
Yeah, I'd say they're probably an army of them now.
They're really trying to punish Jimmy on bees past a couple of tests.
Jimmy carry, can't clone him. He's gone.
Oh, nice work of it.
Great high enrolled.
That's round and half.
So 2v5 gone 2v4.
Maybe save. Save.
I reckon they should save.
It's good for you, Katie.
Here are the stats.
Hey, all saving.
Hey truck TV would be loving this hang on
Wrap it up Hank
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoy yourself in the studio
Now sports will give it a go
The retake they didn't look possible turns out to be the case
Unstoppable
That's Toshi that's Toshi prime coming through
He's gonna save, come on lad, he's got it, he's got it!
He's got it!
Hoshi, my goats!
The round of the tournament right here Adam Toshash Torsche the goats absolutely nailed
the mouse this is a lesson this is why you don't save every time look at what this guy
is capable of when you give him a bit of room a bit of runway that is a crazy 1v4
retake atatoshi
Head and hands move for heroic insane
There is no way in the world you get away with that the collared the end icing on the cake
How do you win that impossible?
Stunlocked. Oh
My god, I feel that giddy art. That's gotta be it. That's the back break
Get out. I thought Toshi has Torah Torah Torah
Tori Alice
Toshi out of this world his cup of aura run it over
He carries the aura for the team
Someone has to do it. It's a tough job. He has all the good lines. He is the I'm the dog in the house slime
He did that really good skit the same one the in the mud bits from chickens
The chickens. Yeah, dude. I just had a torgy. Yeah play like torches right another bag. Yep
It's just he is the the guy the face of mouths
Some would say oh
So here's the problem if you're a heroic fan
man. This is your way into the series, Dust2. By losing this one, it's going to be a bit
of a struggle. It already was going to be Maus and not a team to be sniffed at, sneezed
at. If you sniff them, then you might sneeze. But yeah, it's Mirage up next. It's the
third and the third of the quarter. Oh, Porsche! Porsche again, brother. They're
asking you once more, but he can't do it. He can't do back to back clutches.
Oh, how they came out. Yeah, that's I thought it was done. I was I was starting to read it. Sabrina message
Henry
She says we have sweet and salty. Oh, and we have crisps. Amazing not chips not rise
What about beverages to go go the salty snacks? There's a lot of salt. Yes
I'll see if we get an update she will let me know wash diner
Do you have any other questions about the facility right now? She's obviously there
I'm a hamburger in herself. I believe that's the official vibe electric after that one before I imagine movies
They're only watching it right now. She's still probably recovering from it
So second round all saw this one in the first half and see that's too often twice in one game
When we're getting nadeskins you reckon that's what I told valve not to do it
I said valve never do that. So that's it then well because here's why they will say he was a good trainer this once
Here was my argument when a need comes round a corner says someone throws a flash
But or they throw a smoke right and you turn
Usually, you know what it is in the millisecond you can tell okay. It's it's sort of blue. It's a flash
Oh, it's gray. It's a smoke. It's you can tell but if you start throwing rainbow bloody true fade
Smokes round the corner. What am I what are we what as shall we say? What are we talking about? That is what I'd say
You know, it's gonna ruin a key part of the game
It's funny on the dev team that either even split on certain things. I know one of them
the jacked guy
Yeah, you guys know I'm talking about he doesn't like the charge skis on the guns. I am too. It's not a charge ski face
Oh, that's not go crazy here. They're an invaluable addition to the game. They are pointless
Anyone know where I can find a labouboo for my god
Imagine that is a crossover labouboo
Could happen
Hey, if they didn't lose that stupid 1v4 to torgy, they'd actually be in a very strong position right now. Hang on
Torsche now everyone before is one of all in his eyes chat that Torsche clutch gonna replace Senzu be dust to
No scope window no scope for Senzu. He's not wrong
You say chat
Like clips my most prolific ones misspeaks
He's a by-wool and he's a lobster Tom. He's a lobster Tom
That is a great one. He's a lobster top sick. Just a quick one. It's he goes birthday today. I know Henry and he could I've got a
What is he 36 36? Yeah, we've we've shared hotel rooms before so he goes birthday shout out to Spencer
Zellex's birthday as well who is from Mao's NXT fame. Yeah, like Cato last year. Yeah, indeed
He's a
Gratis Faction's birthday.
Ooh, what a great birthday.
And Harry's in two weeks, so it kind of makes it the same place.
Mine, Rush's, my mom's.
On the same day?
Yep.
Wow.
Luke Rush as well.
Ah, yeah.
Same day.
Everyone gets a birthday.
All on the same day.
Wow.
wrap it up Harry we've had a bit too much fun we have fucked guest ourselves
out like this is too much the little one before from tall she's just blown my
mind
rush take it away it's coming up towards the cap position here youngster was
having a walk jump down from Roland whoa we get serious Henry take it away
Thank you so much rush. Yes indeed. This is getting a little bit precarious for
Horoic four and four. Yeah, just save. Save. You lost. We'll see whether there's
anything that can be done here on the retake attempt. Spinks with a deagle.
Bear in mind no Kevlar here Chad. Very difficult round to win, but certainly
possible. With this posturing, this dilly-dallying. Nice shot.
Those mechanics come into play. Snast has the kit. All 40 of them.
Nice they're done. I got real serious trash.
It felt like it was whatever right? Yeah it always does.
M.R. 12 gets away from you quick down that school on now 8 to 7.
You're just a one round gap for a row because they start to work their way back into the game.
We'll see you right, bye.
You mean...
The name on the bomb before this I'm gonna put there.
Bomberclots? What does it mean? What? Bomberclots? I don't know what it means necessarily.
I don't people say it. People do say it, but I'm not sure. Could people email in maybe
let us know what it means? I believe it's Jamaican. Okay, so we're getting an orange. Yeah, I don't know what it means.
I think it just means like, bosh. Bosh, yeah. Yeah, maybe you're right. Yeah, let us know.
You couldn't...
You wouldn't be... Yeah.
Fuck, yeah.
Oh.
That is a thing of beauty.
It's not an orphan to be fair.
He was completely blind.
Exiled now.
Burning now.
Is it an orphan now?
Try his hand at the clap.
Run and do it!
Oh.
Run and gun shot.
Connecting.
5v4 here for miles.
Should be how long.
They don't know.
They don't know.
They have no idea right now.
See ya!
Torshee the hero.
I really like Torshee.
I'm getting that vibe. I'm picking on what you're putting down.
Just a good dude. I do think it was a misstep like the whole...
I straight.
Which? Which was the misstep?
That one? That was like the one misstep.
Why?
I mean he tried something didn't work out. Oh, I know exactly, but I don't think he has to take debate
Like no one's talking about him when they're talking like well, so listen, so I just a funny guy like just let him be funny
Cyclo was asked
Afterwards, you know about that comment and he came out and say that some of the players have fed up which I would be
Well, it would get annoying. This is the thing that that I I struggled to obviously
Okay, well snus doing the best he can to hold on to this
But the thing that I struggle with is,
Maus are a very consistent team.
They're always threatening. They have the respect of the other top names.
But when it does get to some of these tense, more high pressure matches,
that's when they can't deliver the counter strike that is required for them to pick up the trophy.
But for whatever reason, the characters in this team,
they're not loved by the greater public, right?
They're not, they're personalities,
they're a team overall, they're kept at more than arms length.
And they're starting to become this squad that's where you're going to lose to vitality, right?
right and and that's the problem right and I don't think regardless of you know
toys you being a likeable guy or Jimmy look at a Twitter pawn like regardless of
any of these things it doesn't shift the needle enough for them to be enjoyed
as a group how force it right force it as well as another team chat the one
very good at winning if you reference a straw some leaving I'm going home I'm
gonna go I'm going to leave I'm gonna save my lawyer will do it was a team
don't reference a straw in a couple of teams well why we could what even if
You're gonna send over there with TSN at the time or team question. We're not doing that. I'm not doing it
It was a same conversation
Don't do it. I'll remember the will do it. He will leave. I've seen it before you might remember them
It was from remember the time it's great movie from about
Nine years ago now. It's a bit. It's a bit braver years ago now. I don't know
He'm
Liquid you recall they couldn't get past the Strahles. What did they do? They bought in a guy
Do you know the name of that guy in stewie toucan? Yes, that's who mowers need
Bring it back them on top. She's available all free kazo all free kazo get for a vibe guy
Frigga's a big great vibe vibe guys divide merchant
So you're comparing mouse to liquid yeah
Okay from
2017
Okay, but hold up. We're gonna battle here at long prison. No man's land might get caught in transition first one's good
Can't find the follow-up a decent damage. Well done lot of demars
Now barrage here on short bone coming up with some help flash goes high. Oh, we didn't do
Shorts will help me at the club play
I drink responsibly.
He's going to be a dead man, isn't he?
He's sure.
Well, he's given a bit of a safe open to play around.
And there you go.
Oh, the job's not done.
Still going to get through.
Sniffs, but Nilo.
Health.
Wounded.
Missing.
Oh, I'm stuck.
Oh, I'm down or she do you have another clutch in the counter step?
That guy the kind of clutch please
Yes, Toshi I like that
Great position oh flow pressure on susp
Could it really be another clutch of torches here with double digits?
Oh!
Apparently not.
Patience.
Well, one round game again.
Caraca, battle them back into it.
Harry, here's the deal.
I'll make a deal with you, mate.
Okay.
You can refer to mouths to have similarities to liquid if they win this tournament.
And the reason I say that is the liquid you're referencing won when Astralis wasn't
there or when Astralis was on the other side of the bracket.
Astralis was an I by power masters the first time they beat them in the head to hurt right?
Masters to start off 2019
Yes, but that land was it was not looked at as a top tier no, but they did still beam
Yeah, so we're gonna that's that's the barrel set. Okay. I'll allow the comparison
They win this event if they win this event. Okay, and it is an EPL. Yes, and they love EPL. They love EPL
That's ESL pro League. They won the last CS go event at EPL
I feel like Mao should have won that last round, right? I think you guys kind of agree with that.
So right now they're actually in a bit of hot water. They lose this one. They've lost the
opening pitch, the assertion goes down. They've still got the long control. They lose this.
The money is in question. Game is tied up 9-9 and heroic opportunity to take the lead.
So even though it was 8-4 with a crazy Torgy 4v1, this is still tough work for
It's slipping away
Five and four for now
Possession dropped
Every member of mouse attempting to cross over long by getting battered and bruised on roots
Grisin finds one through the smoke and it looks at this round might be cooked
It's not a great smoke either you take the bomb plan. It's gonna give you the direction cash
You're not comfortable at all though.
Ah, faking, hoping to draw someone out, Gryzzin, jumping.
Oh!
Such a good move.
And now the rest of them can start to wear into action, too up short.
Spanner in the works, from the 40 year old mechanic.
Reasy hands after that one.
Pounce his engine off!
Horsy 1v5.
Why not?
Oh, they're giving him a bit of room here.
Oh!
Oh, how's it come out?
Did you hit it?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Feels like it's hitting everything at the moment,
old Torchy.
All right, there you go.
Nine, nine tied up.
Money.
Bob, miss save.
In the mud.
Or maybe purposeful save.
In the mud.
In the mud.
So Spinks goodbye in AK.
He has bought an AK.
There's the ability to go a couple of glills.
You might maybe go to Hero AK.
Everybody else just goes to the partial buy.
Lost bonus into the next round.
Maxed out.
So we can still keep the pressure on in this one, but Hiroka's still the edge ahead to be getting himself into the lead right now.
So this one, Wolf, late by, is at a spawn as well from Maus.
This one's getting serious, gentlemen. This one has really just gone up a notch.
It's getting hot in here just on the back of an addy on the way to the Stockholm studio.
It can be unreasonably hot in there.
Sweaty, sauna-like. No aircon, no windows.
Big sweaty man.
Some torches got the Glock, no armor.
up. He wants the AWAP next round. He certainly does. AK for Spinks. Double orbs on the...
Okay, here we go. Here's a problem. Go on. All right, double up CT side up against the partial.
There is a mistiming here with whatever the execute's gonna be, right, in terms of the
pop and the scaling. If an orb misses the first shot, they're in strife. They're rife with strife.
Right by the end, Mike. That's good. That's Matt Rife's new comedy special.
I
See Molly for clothes
Chris cross
And Chris will be cross if they lose this round, I think fortunately there's only
Well, there's no all-up on be right. It's it's both rifles on me
The rifles fall double off in the retake that's an even better point that Harry if
It's good at the start, shut down at the car.
Torschee Glock clutch required.
Oh, anything's better more than this game for Torschee.
But snow cover no chance.
What if I'm snuffed?
Boys, it's just taking the lead.
Yeah.
That's been a four down.
They could have had seven, five.
They are the surprise package of this tournament.
You know why, Henry?
Why is that?
Swedish call.
Swedish call.
Swedish call.
Getting it done.
It's like a Pinterest board.
Swedish core
College core
Hardcore
But they they'd be para vision they might even be mouse what if heroic when the tournament it would be unprecedented
Could they be nine pandas?
We do look we do want heroic to win a game throughout the stage on the a stream while Harry's working
So we can get Harry versus Chris and we did have issues with the server, which I believe is our fault
I've been well not not yours or mine
No one in particular just
The blame lays on our side
It does kind of thicken the drama though right if we do accusing of dodging there
It was funny
Alright, two pass, under the line of sight, nothing on the internet has to be true, that's the great part
Jimmy's out long
One round in this half mouse, any more
I think they don't like dust too, it was their perma-band last season
Anibos coming back in has really screwed the pooch for mouse
Or screwed the mouse, for the pooch
Oh my god, he's out of toji. He's out of toji now or in him as well
They've started almost every T gun round five and four
Regress for long could try like this. This is good functional pieces keep on moving into Jimmy
Two more good info. I'm really doing anything with it. They can yeah good be
That's the solution? Yeah. Okay. You saw three air growing long. You're gonna learn about the old man.
Go be. Go be. Let's get that smoke in. Teamable. Get to be. Okay. Molly. Pull skin back.
Must need something here. I know it's one guy. And they've seen him. They know where he is.
Just need to kill cleanly. He's in trouble. He gets out with his one exertion. You're really
Johnny on the spot down here in mid. He's got a lot of responsibility backstab
Rollin Wednesdays, I'm not even joking. I think well, I'll win these such a throw though. Wrap it up Hugo
All right, brolin. He's been quiet all series
But that won't be three in round 20 really took the cake. He doesn't put the Molly down
He's going straight up for the fight jumping is
Not this lifetime heroic and maintain their lead attempt though on that terrifying all through the
same position almost paid the price you win that and the toys you won before and
you that's all you got right that would be rough around the edges why didn't he
Molly Chad not not certain on that choice you go I guess almost one with the
rifle in hand so I find it hard to fall just you know bite buys you a couple more
second forces the choke point and it tells them what side of the site you're
on you don't like throwing telegraph utility rather probably be out of
from either way partial by this is for 12 this is for 12
Deep up playing outside size flashes look at the retakes it up. Is it brolin look at brolin? Oh, they are device flashes. Yeah, they are
But outside of this site masterful stuff
That's your vulnerability with those flashbangs. Easy shot here.
You're gonna have a plant. You've struggled in these post-plants, holding on to them.
Backstabbing through the tunnels is very, very pacy. Wrap it up.
No scope for young star. Gelil clutch!
It's a story of what if for miles. There's so many what if rounds.
This is going three if I win is that it must be a sour atmosphere in the studio right now
Well, they can live in it. Maybe trace can report in on heavy West between maps because it went from pure pure joy
Imagine trace full reporter style that would get out here on the tournament floor with
What's a German name?
Hans Hans Hans. How do you feel about how that one's unfolded?
Nice, nice team! Nice, nice!
Maus doing up Hans.
Hold up, Hans is on the line.
Oh, yeah, nice, good.
Yeah.
He's a man of few words.
Hans, any words to get Maus fired up here for the second map?
Uh, off, kids.
Let's go. We go for overtime.
Gonna have to win this one.
I'm inspired.
All good, lad.
Out of the options available, you will take Trina win.
One round so far in the second half.
It felt like a lock in. It felt like a done deal.
It did.
The Toji clutch was the icing on the cake, mate!
That's including the Toji clutch!
Youngstar has out-optim again.
Five rounds in a row for Heroic.
It's gonna be six.
It's one round on the T side!
Boys, this is a problem in the-
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Alcor and who?
Youngstar, ultimate snowball.
Alcorin's in the mud, guys.
I don't think he's in the mud, mate.
He is in the mud.
This is over!
Well, Hamburg, make some noise.
Come on, Hamburg, get it together.
What's happening?
Come on, Clutch.
Oh, nine.
Come on, Hamburg, shot it with us.
Clutch! Clutch! Clutch!
I can't hear you! Clutch! Clutch! Clutch!
Come on!
And there's the shutdown.
Heroic lock-in Dust 2.
And I've likely turned around 1v4'd on the half by Torsche, 8-4 scoreline, and it doesn't even matter.
Hey guys, I'm Torgy and this is Play Like Torgy.
Okay guys, so here we are playing versus Cloud9 and it's 5-0.
We are leading pretty good and now here you know you always have to respect your teammates
communication and trust it.
Of course they are saying he's in con and everything like bullshitting and I'm just
getting knocked by exile.
I was really annoyed here.
all we say is it's not my fault, giving fake information.
We are here on Nuke vs Falcons at the moment, it's 12-2.
And yeah, it's like 2 vs 3 and I was pretty tilted here on Surtian
because he was trash talking to me before the game, you know?
And I was like, I will just kill him and try to clash this one on three
because why is he trash talking to me, you know?
Like, I wanted to show him that I am the dog in the house, you know?
And, but basically, Magi scared me.
I still think it was a good play, like this is how we should have played it.
I think he deserved what he deserved.
We're gonna learn here a pretty important lesson.
Like on Inferno you know you have this chicken lover and actually if you put a gravity here,
a gravity story, then the chickens will come around you and now you can pick them up, really important.
Like if you want to rush B you know you can just collect your teammates like hitting the spawn.
Then you just go to B with them and rush them instantly with the chickens you know.
It's like nine guys are rushing me.
It's a good tip, good tip.
Okay, so here's a pretty important clip.
It's 14-14, he played this in Cologne
and again we end up in a class situation with Sertian.
He's always baiting me as you could see
on the new clip as well.
And now obviously he should have go to the box
and make a crossfire with me,
but now he's just sitting behind the other box
basically doing nothing and letting me die.
Like I think he played it pretty bad.
I don't know what is he doing.
Okay, so let's see.
Shui obviously is one of the best IGLs now in CS2,
you know, like young upcoming IGL, I really like him.
He's always had good coms, good calls.
He's insane individually,
so I'm just interested what is he doing in this clip.
He's pushing short.
Then he just, what are you doing?
What are you doing Shuhay?
What is this round?
Oh my god, he just dies like a chicken.
I don't know. Whatever guys.
I can't fucking go!
Nice ARG in the bay!
I will slow down in grand faster
One more!
One more!
Two guys!
One dead!
One more in the middle!
One in the middle!
One in the middle!
Hold me!
I will try to kill the bomber when he plants
Maybe we can wait there
I'm in T spawn
I'll go on insta
I'll go on insta
I'm at peek
Mid one
I don't have kit
I'll top it
I'm at peek
Mid on me
I need to take bomb
I'll take kit and I'll fizzle it
Nice
Bro Jimmy your mic is so bad bro
Holy shit
One late
You have to do it!
You have kit?
You have access. You have it.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I don't care, kit.
Maybe it's the clutch on the center, and maybe it's not.
Oh my god Adam!
Nooooo!
Let's go!
Oh my fucking shit!
If you lose because of War roll, then we can talk about it.
Yeah, then we're not deserved, we're not deserved.
That's going in clutches of the year, no?
I think so, it might be.
Probably screaming in Hamburg right now.
Yeah.
I mean, it's good content, guys.
We give always frag movies to players, you know, so...
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
One side.
Nice.
It's good if we can go three short team.
Yes.
They're coming.
They're frag planted, please.
Frag planted, okay.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Guys, I will do smoke.
You try to play for long.
Wait for team.
Wait for team.
Team run.
Yeah.
You can edit this side, team.
I was trying to...
I'm on the conkers.
One side.
One side.
One side.
One side.
I'm on the right side.
I'm on the right side, hold on.
Nice, I'm on the right side.
I'm on the right side.
He's peeking guys right now.
Let's peek together if you're peeking.
I'm jumping down.
I'm peeking.
Run, run, run!
Together, guys, together.
Nice, Chris.
I don't know if anyone's home.
Alright, let's find out.
So today we're in Hamburg, Germany.
And that means it's time for EPL Cribs.
Who we gonna go visit?
Who we gonna see?
I wonder who it could be.
Hey, what's up man?
We're with EPL Cribs, how's it going?
Hey man, I thought you were still on the way.
I saw you on a broadcast just a few hours ago.
We move quick like lightning, can we come in?
Yeah, of course, yeah.
Welcome to the Mouse HQ.
This is where the magic happens.
Tell me about how it's set up in here and why.
Yeah, I mean, it looks like an arena.
So even if you're like outside, we have like a huge L.D. banner on top, kind of like in the
indoor stadium that you usually see. We'll tell you to clap louder and stuff like that.
Yeah, I mean the players are warming up right now for the match later on.
Also here we do our media days, you know, take photos and stuff like that.
Yeah, we're downstairs here. I think this is actually where all the magic happens.
So we always say, it's more like the performance area where the players have their space, their
own space. Similar to where we go later, where our office is. Full kitchen here as well.
So usually for bootcamps we have a chef. So it's all restaurant-grade I would say.
I don't know how to call it in English. We have a convector of art. You know how
to call it in English?
Convection oven?
Convection oven.
When you come down here, so you have team rooms here, you have a viewing area, I think there's
lots of people watching.
Yeah, I mean this is more like the food eating area because usually we also, what we try
to do is to have like teams from different games here and yeah, what connects all people.
It's food, right?
Yeah, a little bit of 3D Max, a team that's always somewhere and everywhere and nowhere
at the same time.
But to show to NBK, who's the assistant coach now?
Pretty cool.
He's a natural-worn killer.
Mr. Nathan Schmidt, that is.
If you don't know Counter-Strike history,
that's definitely one you should look into, Mr. MBK.
All right, what else you got for me, honcho?
I think we should just take the elevator
and then go upstairs.
Yeah, and here's the office where we, yeah,
get hated on for having no aura.
I think the details matter, right? I think you can talk all about details, how it matters.
I guess here we decide who we bench and who we don't bench.
Actually, the table is also custom made so the gaming chairs can go around the table.
Yeah, it was EPL Crips here in Hamburg, Germany, the most beautiful city in Germany
in the mount HQ so yeah come by visit and have a look
thank you for coming you're taking the train
I'll do it again
yeah come by
Damn guys, we almost have it!
Thank God that's over.
Board of endless matchmaking, take your first steps towards EPA.
Experiencing real strategies against teams of your skill, learn more at fce.gg.
So they've actually sent me deep into the depths here of the mouse layer, as I'm just
trying to find ways to call this place a new place at this point.
But I do know I'm in a room full of gamers with their shoes off, and the first one
I was going to talk to has actually put his shoes right back on before I could
do so.
please yeah my socks are not in the best shape right now so i did want to show it to the camera
it's a is it a laundry issue skill issue what is that
you need to buy socks let's go on the issue it's fair man fresh socks might change your whole life
also playing in front of a crowd today tell me a little bit about the experience right let's
talk a little bit about it does it make your socks extra sweaty to have these people
sitting that close to you no but it is a special usually when you're playing arena
They're not this close to you, you know, he's like they are that guy can't get any closer. They're fucking close
You know, so it is within some sort of way
But it's nice. It's this way. I'm not just home and they're playing in a small room like it's a practice, you know
Yeah, absolutely that and people come far and wide to come watch you guys
You know before I make my way down there and harass Jimmy make him say something to get himself viral again
You want to say anything to him?
To the fans, I guess they will see it in like one hour.
Yeah, they'll see it in quite some time, so now is that time.
So, thank you all of you guys who came.
It's really nice to see all of the new faces and everyone.
I hope you will enjoy the game. It's really close.
So, I hope you will enjoy the game, enjoy the atmosphere, and that's it.
And that's it. And that's all Sphinx got to say about that. Thanks, big man.
Thank you, bro.
Come on. Just come on. Just come on.
Feel comfortable, guys.
See, he's smart. He puts headsets on Jimmy.
What kind of Max and we doing today, buddy?
What kind of maxing are we working on?
What kind of maxing?
Maybe we maxing Max win, maybe Max win.
You need a Max win.
Yeah, exactly.
We need a Max win today.
Need a Max win.
There's some VRS on the line.
You're playing against a team like heroic.
When you see heroic, what do you think?
Well, you just see the paper.
You see the names on the roster.
You see the team coming against you right here.
What do you think of them?
Maybe they're not the team that makes me the most feared when I look at the roster, but
I think it's just nice to go up against them, because there are some old teammates, Christian
from MousaNXT, and the coach as well, Dobis.
So I would look forward for the matchup, to be honest, but I would say that it's
a good first game.
Nothing too crazy, but I think still we are of course really confident.
You said it's a personal match, almost.
I mean there's a lot of familiarity. Everyone kind of knows each other.
Do you feel like you know these people sitting in front of you at this point?
Or do you think you're going to know them by the end of the day?
I'm not sure the bonus for now. They're just faces and they creep me out a little bit.
But it's nice that people are watching here for us, you know.
But it's nice that people are watching and cheering for us. So yeah, it means a lot. It's nice and yeah.
Thank you so much, Jimmy.
Thank you. Thank you.
No, thank you.
You came here, so thank you.
It's true. I did. I did find my way here.
The dispatch is back and looking better than ever.

difference hey that would have gone
Alright, we missed the last one, right?
You're on it as a difference!
Yeah, sorry, there is a big difference.
Alright, we'll try that again later.
Is there any world they win Mirage Chat?
Did the 2-0 actually happen?
Mouse?
There's a big world...
Mouse with Mirage?
Is there a chance that Heroic can do the 2-0 though?
There's always a chance.
Have we asked them one thing?
We've learned about Pro League.
If we're being realistic, I don't think they should have won Dust 2.
So, yes.
I'm having a bandwagon, Heroic.
And Harry...
Yeah?
Are you going to do it?
Do you want Crescent?
Are you going to do it?
Yes.
Even though you've got your dongle?
I did, okay.
Announcement here on the waterfront.
Oh!

So I will be playing wired.
I haven't done that in about eight years and I'll still beat him.
And I said I could do it with an Xbox controller.
So...
You did say that?
Yeah.
Give me you some nice caviar at least.
No caviar if I lose.
I'll hold my hands up and say, you know, the 40-year-old mechanic beat me.
Now, do we know the server definitely works now?
Well...
I've taken myself off of server duties, I want nothing to do with it, I don't care, frankly.
MC, I trust that guy.
He says it does.
Rash, what are you saying?
I think it should be good.
I also spoke to Marv, our other server fella as well, and he seemed to think some issues
have been solved.
I did find out that there was a... not a wireless, but there was something blocking.
Firewall, right?
There was a firewall blocking.
Steed Elf's protection or something like that, but it was blocking CERN, IT rangers. Could we get two scientific?
Could we get madman on the case maybe right? Madman? He would help us a lot. I don't know where he is right now
It's kind of MIA, but madman would help a lot. Shout out to madman if you're watching. All right
I know I tell you one M who is watching. It's not M&M. It's not Marshal Mathers. It's not Mimam. It's Maui.
Maui Snake. Now he only expects the best. Yeah, I think the energy this series we've been dragging
right there enough I think we need to lift our game lift our spirits all right
and bring the energy that mouse versus heroic requires all right I'm in this
one's for Maui's thing do you go you in I'm in and I don't know is he in I'm
in he's definitely now he's left it I'm even gonna turn my pgm up that's how
you know I want to be turn Harry wrap it up we are good to go boys we're
going live.
We're getting into this. Heroic just came back from a brutal one before against them
on the half. They were lagging behind on Dust2. They turned it all around and now we go to
Mirage. They're not meant to win here. But fuck it. Win anyway. That's the heroic motto.
Unofficial.
Yeah.
It still counts.
I think they should consider it.
Yeah, it's actually kind of sick.
It's fine.
They're not meant to win. Fuck it. Win anyway.
That's fire.
Retake, hey, you don't love this for a piss around here. That's all good stuff on the floor
Here we go, it's an opening kill quits and a beautiful shot from CT's boy
It's spanks leading the charge though
Bomb will go down the shore of certainly will be a retake here on the A side of Mariah's ocean deep into what spawn smoke goes down
This one does a lot for them, but
Here we go. Is there a kid in play? There's not
So is it over already?
Hang on, you're out of rounds, Flank.
Susp, Flank.
On the cards.
In the cards.
Backstab for Brolin, but he himself should be a dead man.
That's a quick turn.
And all right.
Brolin's got him in.
Ooh, nice.
A stylish final bullet for X-File, but it doesn't matter.
It's all in vain.
Mows get themselves a pistol round.
It's less about the opening, more about the closing for Mous, isn't it?
Right, 8-4, first half, map one. Now we need to see them run the gauntlet on this T side.
Oh, there it is.
Well, we see the force fire response. I think we certainly do.
I've seen an MP9, a 5-7, a few of them, deagle, with Suss.
And we're going back to A. More of the same.
Alright, well, three here for the defence.
Oh, this could get dicey, Chad.
Get him, Suss.
Snooze.
Seriously.
Oh, I should have in trouble here, my friend.
Ooh, but it's a little bait-and-switch, maybe.
Oh!
She runs through him.
Can you get that off, money?
Uh-oh.
Mox is my new favourite player.
I believe he's from Alpenberg.
I can't confirm or deny that, but I believe he is.
What are you, where's your one?
Gothenburg.
Who?
Youngstar.
It's a bit of a goat, isn't it?
This tournament, he's just been that guy.
Well, look, all things one thing, but getting to play the roles that all players play when
you have rifles in your hands is also sick.
Like, Rotetta roles, everybody loves them.
Who doesn't want to be a Rotetta?
Harry doesn't, but other than Harry, everybody likes Rotetta.
We're running around.
Keep moving.
Have a check in this.
Have a check in this.
Yeah, well, this is a pretty shocking second round of Counter Strike if I do say so myself
Not a single kill
Yeah, hold on Spinks is
Standing he's standing to attention a kill might come if he's patient
We've got to do is wait forever. Yeah, well, uh, give an AK to the next I suppose don't could win this
That's what you're gonna tell yourself like if you want to be a good guy you want to be a good player you win this round
Okay.
Oh, good teammate here. Cycling guns over.
They have to keep him. My Alcoran's cooked, bro.
Yeah, I'm sorry, Alcoran. Respect, but also read the room.
What do you think the ceiling is for this heroic team?
I don't know, but youngstering dragging them down, I'll tell you that much. Heroic, find
that force by victory.
What's the thing from... Tell me, you guys are saying whiplash.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
So he's like...
It's on my tempo.
Yeah, so are you dragging or are you...
Ha ha ha ha. That's a great scene.
Great movie, great film.
Anyway, enough about films.
We've all seen them. We've all enjoyed them.
Heroic. Back on their feet.
Surely not though.
Surely not Mirage.
Surely not.
It felt like it was done on Dust2.
They were 8-4 down.
They came all the way back against all the odds
and now winning the second round for Spire with
Barely a kill going against them.
Ah, no, it's just like the pistol. The plan read's okay.
But now it's the rifle, so they have a little bit more.
But it's just like the pistol. The plan read's okay.
We've had three AXQs in a row.
Onward!
Upward! Another one.
They're in the smoke, buddy.
Oh, they're in. They're in.
Oh, he's causing chaos, but Jimmy P...
Here he is.
and a done deal heroic repellent to one up they went out versus the force they're now on easy street
ah you kill okay uh henry how many dry cycles did you have to do i did it for an hour and a half
okay um i did an hour and 20 still a little bit just a little bit wet as a little bit
it really is
I put it on another cycle, so don't overdo it, Chad. I don't want to see you shrink your pants.
He's still need to wear them. Speaking of cycling. Yeah. Oh, you know, Pimp Check. Check in with Pimp.
Air on Earth is Jacob Vinicki. Pimp Check today at 9.32 a.m.
And it's a feature we do, I didn't know this was a feature.
We were doing this all last weekend, I think I missed it.
This was the day one, most of them.
Must have been three days in a row,
you were here for all of them.
We said pimp and your eyes glazed over.
I think so.
The Calp training camp, day nine,
152 kilometers cycled over five hours and two minutes.
You're asking the calories, Henry,
you always want to know the K-Cal.
It's 4,770.
Oh, it's a live day from him.
Yeah, it was burned.
It's a live from him.
It's five hours, I'm getting it in.
It was raining to give him a break, okay?
Yeah, fair.
82% humidity, 12% raining.
Okay, fair enough.
Five hours on the bike.
Keep up the good work, Jacob.
Dude, he got that badass thing.
I think for a cyclist, they probably don't, Harry.
But I can tell you how to fix it.
There's some minivan and glute bridges, okay?
I also need you to worry about your, um...
...head of company.
Come on.
Yeah, forget the thing he's gonna stretch.
Anyway, it'll come back. We'll get there, don't worry about it.
We're gonna lock it into gun round.
It really is.
I'm going for an AXQ shake.
Oh, hey, I'm gonna find it!
Oh, stupid.
No, not very well, though.
Pretty poorly, if I recall.
Look at this!
Sus blocking it down, and Maus really are tangling with this A-Ramp.
It's not going well for every round so far.
It's been an A-Ramp.
Well, our heroic, the best team in the world, the best team on a ramp right now.
Categorically, and the knife.
Oh, the brain of this guy.
Here's an orper now certified AWP legend.
He knows what version is.
He's locked this killer.
Young kind of bait to shot.
But he is the right one.
There it is over he over Kirk, whatever you want.
He's in your kitchen right now.
And he will make a meal of it.
Parallel with a crutch.
Miles are back.
Oh, that was looking so promising for Erotic.
Maybe she just stayed on the AWP.
Maybe.
He was itched there.
Yeah, itched there.
He goes up and then scratches his head.
That's an air point. That was ASMR.
I'll give it a chance if you want it.
What's he doing? Foley?
Foley.
Beak is fucking yes
He's fucking I thought he said beat
Beak is that
Maybe he is the freak is always type play
My favorite freaky clip
When someone said he's low on cash, he's got the USB and he goes,
Liar! Liar! You lie!
My favorite is the Wee-Hot.
That's a good one. That's his new thing.
It's a great tagline. It's probably better than what I've got going for me.
What's your old catchphrase he says?
Wrap it up.
I'll give you that. It's pretty good.
We'd like to have fun here. It's his catchphrase as well.
What's yours? O-Lay?
Not O-Lay. Get him out of here.
as we did if we had that earlier.
Yeah.
Famous.
Kind of all the fake guys.
We've gone A, A, A and A, and now we're going fake B,
but actually go A.
It's actually A. Wow.
Let's see the classic.
Bombers later and they've realized they've
cleared out the B site.
So yeah, you have to hold the shot, right?
You have to let him through.
Let him pass.
Come on.
Actually, because he's got three players coming to you.
Eventually, I've got a lot of Jim.
Some seem to be on high.
large bridge in here for a while holding this line so Jimi Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
what you got nothing they clear you I would be so so irrationally angry five
on two though rings oh he's left even a trial it's alright guys we can have fun
game we can play a fun game this is how fun is it that apex plays every time
he plays against mouse it's called count how many times he's lost alive oh he
He does like that game a lot.
Stop baiting, Lothan!
No, he always goes, stop baiting, mate!
That was a good impression.
Never done that before.
Spot on.
Mate was great.
I really analyzed. I love the way he says it.
That's a massive round.
Maybe Herok should join Cloud9.
This is a new Colossus type thing.
24 million
You can have yourself a closet at home
By heroic could they why not they much they are in the mud
I don't know. Who would you take on the old youngster ultimate?
There's room to grow serious in game leader prison or shoe head
prison prison
Okay, okay. Yeah, I mean, are there any players in liquidy X flatter a leash
Flashy autobus maybe flashy
What about a softball now, oh now it's okay
Yeah, that's the best guy though.
Hey, fake vibes?
Kind of different-ish position.
I know, but I'm just going vibes.
Yeah, we're kind of building on vibes here.
Yeah, pipe coating.
Well, you'd want to keep the Swedish core together, wouldn't you?
True, that is the most powerful part of this roster.
You wouldn't need nearly.
All right, keep him then.
No way, he's just going to pre-fire the bottom.
Oh, he missed.
Ex-floundering.
Nice.
Oh, hello.
Okay.
Dude, they're at 5-2.
They are.
After losing pistol.
They look...
This could be the best capture of him in the world right now.
It's... we just don't know it.
Heroic! You can't win pro league like this!
And it's clear.
And now, we'll take it.
AK in the hand of Nilo, we've got the Orphe Youngster,
money starting to swell.
And so this is moderately concerning.
For whom?
Harry having a 1v1...
Crizzan.
Oh right.
Onward, man.
Onward.
Onward.
You have to clarify.
But honestly, I think that's fine.
It might help you, you know, more direct.
Good news, Adiz. Good news, Obe. If Herok 2-0, Trace can catch the night train back from Hamburg.
Why wouldn't he stay with the after-barzi?
It might be a slightly somber tone if Hilo keeps this up.
Obe didn't kill, finds Dershin. Bro, I'm going to answer back with that Galilbo. 4-4.
Valver conversing with me kind of through
Smitter right now.
Weegee ball right now.
What are they saying?
Well Harry, you're the social media guy.
They're watching?
Yeah, I think Dan could be watching you.
Oh, doxed?
Oh, come on, it's a name.
Normally I don't say Valver Dev's names.
Other than Matt Wood.
That rule for fun.
I just say Matt Wood.
Had a cat game.
Did I should play a Batwood's cat game?
No, I haven't.
I wanted to though that would make the bub lines. He did what a valve saying
I'm putting Harry on it. What where are they saying it's worse here? Oh, and I have to I have to read twitch chat in a minute
Okay, but then I'll read this yes, well we get to any point obviously twitch over the devs for some reason
soft rolling
To through Palace all on the line young so go to the goat
announced by Jim Hatt's entry, Tony Torsi muddied up in Palace,
Susp does get spammed, Spinks there,
Cris'n,
kinda get out, quick timing,
Flash is good!
Oh my!
Okay, we'll take it, we'll take it again!
Oh!
What a shot!
Lost the live, but for a reason this time...
That's a must hit!
Problem is though, Chad,
sure you win the round,
but only one player survives.
Yeah, but concessions have to be made.
You win this one,
And you break Royce's money and then you can even win the half Henry, so...
You'd love that.
You need that right now.
The fans in Hamburg.
Nice shot bro, nice shot.
Pretty nice shot.
It was a very nice shot.
Little one tap.
What's that, H2O?
Yeah, great little water bottle there.
You know, water bottles by any water bottle company are accepted here on the show,
but that one looked good.
Mows off the back of the round win have taken the tactical timeout likely discuss the omission to the finances that Henry
Greer has outlined you can see them coming through now Chad
We've got a galil for Jimmy roll on has the option now to go aka. I'll kill it as well
That is a that is a very nice shot
That was a very nice shot sphinx
They come for the galil
difficult round
Famous chrysan
No open play on the T side.
Mid control flight, X-slot going to run through this, okay?
He's having a look.
Hangin' around, this is risky business, if you ask me.
Very aggressive in CTs here, look at that mid control.
You never align with a fireman, right?
I really am.
We haven't seen a ton from Zershin today, I haven't really said his name at all,
No, he hasn't... well, yeah, that's two second half, sure, we can forget about that.
I guess you're right.
First half was decent, was decent enough.
Chad, you are dead on.
I'm talking to you, on Twitter.
What are they saying?
Indirectly, though, aren't they?
What are they talking about?
They're not directly talking to me.
There's a quote from Sponge, who we all know.
Yeah.
And the quote was...
Well, he said it aback, like we were talking about it.
Exactly.
Inferno, Chad.
back in Austin, I was talking to one of the devs regarding Inferno and why the maps bitter
and obviously, you know, Retake is one of the things that leaves the Lord to save in an
honest way.
They have something like graveyard on the A side which never used to exist, back in
my voice he's an added issue, you don't even hold it as a CD, you're on the CD side
mate.
It's only one of the other CD side of Retake, so you know that was my suggestion.
That was Chad.
And then they reply with a GIF that says that was me.
So there you go.
Okay.
That was him.
Well, thanks for that.
Really good impression of me.
Alright, now the money's in the mud.
Yeah, I'm back. Now's I'm back.
In the mud.
It gets me every time.
Do you think Torji remembers saying the line?
No.
But it's so good.
It's your favorite Torji line of all time.
In the mud. We are in the mud.
We should do a blind tier list of Torji's most iconic lines.
Okay.
Dog in the house.
Dog in the house, we're in the mud. Crying. Crying. Crying now. Happy crying, sad cry.
What does he say to Flush? What does he say originally? He just said fuck off, was that it?
There's a bit more to it, it was, you know, but the booze, I can't hear you.
Well, he definitely could. Definitely got to him as well, didn't it? When you walk out.
I don't blame him, bro. The booze were lethal. They were relentless.
Imagine, you know, you're a pretty good team and everyone just
One of the most consistent teams in all of guys
Everyone just praise on your downfall always making top four
Thanks. I'll every other strike
Just having a tough time verse vitality
I do believe the best team of all time. I'm not sure it's arguably anymore
Yeah, I just say that because if I don't what happens is people get upset
Some of the Danes come out of the woodwork
I feel like it's undeniable at this point, but I hear ya.
No kit, no AWP.
AWP, talk to aura.
Blind tier list aura, now as players.
Who's number two?
Jimmy.
Yeah.
Jimmy is for number two.
Speaks is one of major, so maybe he gets three off that and then are we talking mouse players across the years?
Oh, just this roster how I'm speaking yelling back at apex
Takes it on the chin. I'm like, bro. If you never beating him. It's hard to talk shit
Oh, well, maybe you'll talk shit, and then you'll beat them
Maybe you don't internalize the fact that like every round you played I am into play. He's ready for this
Nice adjustment
Or more you won't be ready for this
on down lose bomb there with a minute left that's how much you have to worry
about even just giving it up I feel like is a problem like if he tries to go
back if he gets one more he needs backup but it's so scary to get to my
And the Crizzans worried about Conn.
The Crizzans trying to get to him.
And there's the Pondish, or there it was...
Oh, they've won the round.
Well, I don't know about that.
Well, they'll be struggling upon the bomber again.
Especially now. That's around.
Now it's round.
So guaranteed six for Heroic.
Not bad.
If they can keep everybody alive right now, they're also just going to have a juicy gun round for the final.
Right, you can get some drops across to X-Flight and Susp.
So, we don't have any issues there.
Money for Maus is okay too, so we'll have a full gunny for the final round of the half.
around the house not worth saving to be honest I don't think it matters either way
taking guns away with six HP you know you know go into a year you'd be doing
he goes giving them an AK full nades and armor so just drop that AK must be to
Spinks doesn't really need it but you know makes the world go around on that
just sharing his carrying and all that jazz it's a great adjustment at least to
Take one, but Sanilo...
...hiding in plain sight, on the stairs...
...let her carry the world. Good job from him.
Round confirmed.
14 kills for Nilo.
Having a bit of a farm fest here on Mirage.
X-Floud is the Dust2 player.
Nilo's the Mirage player.
Youngstar's the Nuke player.
Got a bit of everything on this team.
Love that.
Not well.
How's that aura?
I can't block that.
You could try.
This has A-split written all over it, don't it?
Bop recovered.
He blocked the smoke.
They're going under. They're not playing with these.
Oh, young glass. Got an angle that's not meant to be available per state.
They're not going. They're waiting for me.
So many nades as well.
Everybody's got them.
Everybody's asking.
A chrysan might drop him here in the pool.
Oh my god.
What is he?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Young Stado living up to his name.
To what a screw.
Surely he knows his window.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Now you know.
What a shot.
Oh god.
You got hot hands.
Go again.
He's looking for a little bit more.
Young Stado cut down in his prime and now it's just Nilo but he's got 14 kills.
He's got a great first half.
Nilo is up for the task.
moving in real quick to this position. Real quiet hard combo to pull off. But Nilo's managed
it as the clear won't fire off in time. Jimmy secured a split half a mouse.
Oh
Oh
We are the champion, King Chum, be on the ball.
We are the champion, go number one.
We are the champion crew number one
It's day one of stage two here at ESL Pro League and things are heating up after throwing away their chances on Dust2.
Maus have turned up for Mirage. He's looked down the middle, 6-6 at a decent half chat overall from Heroic and still possible to get that 2-0.
Yeah, it's going to be tough now on the T side. This is where Maus is going to do some of their absolute best work.
Exertion that spinks mid duo is going to be tough to tussle with. Jimmy Luck now B-Bron over towards A.
Jimmy, famously one of the best on those B bombsites.
He loves the letter B, does Jimmy?
He does.
Or P, B and P, two words that Jimmy D.
Sounds similar in, you know, like Jimmy Beast.
That's good stuff.
Sibs urchin can hold on to these jewelies.
A lot of pressure coming his way.
No real damage inflicted as of yet,
but there's Jimmy, safe pair of hands,
picking up the pieces here.
And it looks like the thing's going to be absolutely fine.
Nice grenade.

I think so too.
Let's see.
Crisen.
Any oilers in chat?

more butts. Can't go wrong with that. Amanda hugging kiss. That's a good one. That's actually
That's number one, that's number one, put it in.
At least they made the eco quick, thank you very much Heroic.
Let's change to the third and deciding map of this series, Inferno.
We can look at the graveyard.
Look at you calling GG Chad.
They haven't even done a gun round.
Told me through the wind then Hugo, wrap it up.
Well first they get seven rounds, then, it's eight.
Okay, it's the count over here.
He's cooking, hold on.
Yeah, they need a 10 after that three more in Matariko and he got the oven. So it's done. It's all over
They're gonna try their hand at an A execute. We saw a few of them in the first half and the MP7 is over
Flash, flash play
Wooo, Chris in the front. This is the 7th. It's the strike
Bowling or is it a spare?
spare tires, Crizz and Specialty. This round's still wide open, the bomb not down yet.
Oh, that's so good. Freebie man. Oh, we're doing anything here for heroic. Everyone's
standing around. Okay, here we go, sir. Snacks wonderland. Exactly. Mark is good. If you

How are they with another?
No way!
What do they know?
Molly does miss, but it doesn't matter.
When you throw the post plant, quite like that.
You've fumbled it right there. That is...
Okay, can we go to Inferno now?
What a bollocking, yes. We can.
Thank you very much, sir.
All we needed to do was delay. That was awfully close to on the diffusion.
Yeah, there was, like, what, two seconds later?
Hey guys, do you remember what happened on Dust2
You lost a 1v4 because you're all playing silly buggers on the B-bombside, can we not do that again right now?
Not trolling!
Alright, here's a couple, we're gonna have got the IP freely.
Okay, oh nice, okay, we'll go back to the mof, prank calls.
Ow, he's good.
Caholic?
That's right.
Not the best one.
I got like 7 for the list.
Ah, nice!
Seek bro!
Mike roach?
Hmm, okay, that's good, I got it.
Um, I think you might be right though, that's pretty much the game I think.
It is.
You throw that kind of round away, the morale's gone.
Everyone's upset. No one's saying nice try. Cousin.
Yeah. To be fair.
Alright, let's take a look here. Stand in front of the trash can.
You can do a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
You can release the smoke, you can land over the walls of the window.
Now he's missed that throw.
He's out. Yeah, that's what I was saying.
That was that.
Is it just to walk X-flat in through lower maybe?
We've been doing this for a decade now pretending players missing smokes is all part of the plan
Oh, Fury, I'll never get the wall outside!
It's all part of the game, man
If you can land there, you can land a window smoke. I can land a window smoke.
What about a door smoke?
Yeah, well...
What a bander.
I'm not paid a million dollars a year to throw it.
I didn't mean to dust 2-1, I was gonna throw back to the windows and doors.
I wasn't having a dig. I was just too almost on the tip of the happy coincidence. Yeah, I promise it wasn't a dig.
Still anyone is thinking about just a happy little accident.
Rolled for a station in this round.
Carrera getting un-rooted or uprooted.
You're not checking this. Here's a short one.
Spink, Spicey, Sad Underbalk. You're never clearing this.
Oh, guys, he's clear, mate.
You're never clearing this.
The water back there in this.
It's not the bomb, man.

Can't one of them all I suppose
Well, the one we won't be one's off now. They can't win your phone. I want me ones off the table the series
Oh, yeah, the series before the map to is over. Yeah, I am let's go nose
It's just the truth it's truth and I can handle it in earth
I think I have a cooking in this room.
I'm gonna get the Malabaga if it loses one Harry's sake.
Okay, you wrap it up and I'll...
Oh, rummage.
We all wrapped in rummage.
Christmas Day Classic.
Boost in the window, Fittor sheet.
Where is the rum gone?
Yo-ho.
Our me heart is...
Oh, we're back.
Oh, we're back as well.
Good flash on the wall.
Oh, we're back. Oh, we are back.
Oh, good flash under the sun.
He's ready for that fight. That's a sick-killing kill to get.
5v3.
After Captain Morgan.
That's the killer who decides the round.
He would think so, although a lot of 5 on 2s have fallen a right today.
It's kind of an APL special this season.
Alright guys, we have an email.
This is from Mark.
You sound excited about it.
Remember how we got the email from... was it Ethan?
I don't know.
Or Evan.
Just from Evan.
Evan was emailing in about his friend who couldn't play Prem because he's had a job.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, Mark!
Mark, the friend, has emailed in.
Okay.
Mark with a shitty job here.
My friend Evan is watching right now and I need your help.
He's expressed some disdain for the later hours I worked that pushed back our
Premier Q times.
But I think he could be using some of that time better.
Oh, that's fair.
I like this.
Come on, Mark.
Oh, Mark.
You see, Evan moved to a new city in the last six months
and hasn't had a date.
Oh, come on, Evan.
Oh, Evan.
Oh, my.
Get outside.
Can you please help me convince him to use that time?
I'm working to go on date, so I don't have to quit my job
and to cheaters.
Thank you.
Mark!
Base!
Now, Mark.
You're like premiering.
It could be a problem, Mark, though,
because if he does get in a relationship,
he could disappear from them.
Yeah.
It does happen.
Fair minimum, he'll get way worse.
I think there could be a compromise here, Mark and Evan.
Maybe one date a week seems like a high amount of dates, especially with different people.
Yeah, it's a lot in modern day.
Let's just start with one shot.
Say Friday nights.
And then I don't know what Evan's up to otherwise.
What if Evan goes for like a run, or maybe he goes to the gym, or maybe he goes to the library.
Or learn some needs.
Or maybe, yeah, so, yeah, that's true.
Evan could be coming up with some nades.
So Evan, have you considered trying to use your time a little bit more wisely? We'd love
to hear from you. Thanks Mark for riding in.
That's the HLML bag, adfg.gg.
If you need help setting up your profiles, pretend that we can do that.
Yeah, Rush is really good at that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can we do a whole Tinder segment at Pro League like four seasons ago? We set up a fake
profile for someone and put it out there.
Did we?
I don't remember this.
Yeah, we did. I think we made a profile.
This was off there.
I don't know. It was a segment on there. We made a whole fake Tinder profile.
far for someone and set it out in the wild.
Is this a dream?
No, this happened at Pro League.
You guys are the best.
Oh, it's easy, mate.
What's your stack, Henry?
We did this.
I don't remember more details.
I think it might be Trace.
We did it for.
Okay.
Look at him now.
Youngster.
We definitely did this.
Nealote.
Okay.
Someone back me up.
Okay, well, I can't.
We totally did this.
We totally did this.
We did this, right?
It says yes.
100% did that.
I don't know.
So there you go.
We've done it before.
We're professionals.
gonna date or not ever what a year old tender mechanics I appreciate it either way
yeah it's early opening kill for youngster now they're gonna 30 seconds I
boy you got a spring yeah I was now torches gonna be deep on that beeline
with the AWP I think that's gonna fumble this coming be gone we'll just get one
and you gonna catch him he's gonna catch him leaving after one shot still
Let's kill all the torches.
Oh, no!
Can't escape!
Oh!
They're in.
Don't overthink.
Just plant that bomb.
They've done it.
They're on the right track.
Anyone can orb.
Boost.
I'm not around for a while.
Looks locked in.
I'm sure they'll overpick.
Yeah, that's what I was about to say there's a chance they do give it away, but they are going to retreat
How's the same their money's low?
Let me be clear. So that's 10 to 8
All right, Chad go anything else. I reckon we've got a tactical time out next round lads. No way
I think so you've called that one. I'm calling you right now. I think
100% prediction rate so far this season. Yes
What are the areas of life can the chat virtual system be applied to outside of CS and doing
laundry?
Um, lots of areas, really.
What does chat specializing, you like going up, getting up early and go for walks?
Wrapping as well, yep, and clocking.
The virtual system can be applied to all walks of life.
about consistency, applying pressure, making people feel uncomfortable.
That's what he specializes in.
We did say a high energy broadcast.
We're on with the phone, Henry.
We're on the phone.
I'm on every sleep.
I'm reading Albert's message.
What did he say?
I can't read it.
Oh, that's true.
Read it yourself.
Okay.
The yellow card situation or?
No, no, I mean,
What's Henry Dunn now?
Not for you!
You're in big trouble, Chad.
Me?
Yeah.
You know what you're doing.
Oh, he's right as well.
You know what you're doing.
It all seems about bored here.
I'm trolling.
Adding some high energy back into the game.
Here we go. Another gun round.
And Chad now we're proud.
Chad called this game over.
Chad said it was done for.
And here we are, still fighting for top middle.
Double rifle, double kill.
Mal's making something happen and that's ugly.
This was three usp's and now heroic is scratching their noggin wondering
Oh man, we're back, but there's no bomb
Okay, this is gonna get weird round. Yeah usp round ball with jimmy P. Has he got the backshots and Jimmy
Audio only lit.
Oh, I found a knife!
I found a knife!
Bungled that one, Nilo.
It's now suspect we have to go all the way about.
He's a B player as well.
You know he's alive.
Get him, snooze.
We are in the club.
Getting thrifty.
Full eco.
Two saved guns.
That's why you saved Chad.
Quickly throw in another pouch.
Ready yourself.
Take it out.
40 seconds.
What's the camera going to go back to the TV, Jay?
You're in the middle of...
No, but there's a camera there on Rush's...
Oh, we don't get on Jay's.
There is a pink camera.
Oh, that's a bug in the game.
People have seen it on Zywoo's screens a few times.
It used to be clutched in the century.
They were saying he was cheating.
It used to be clutched in the century from Snus.
I really passed up.
We're forgetting Torshees.
Second best clutched the series, but yeah.
Oh, and they've re-rooted. This is nice.
Oh, has he read it?
City Park is dead audacious today.
Well, I was setting it up for a little bit of a comeback here for a ride,
but they have absolutely bottled it.
Just trace to the interview on Mr.
Avi West live and direct from we get out of it. Surely we get out.
Trace closes the show from Hamburg on Mr.
Avi West. It would make sense to confirm on it.
Well, we have recorded a bunch of stuff with the fans.
But yeah, sure, we can do one here as well.
Yeah, and Trace closed the Shara.
In my mouse 2-1.
I'll try to get it.
Nice.
We're putting him to the shift here.
Alright, so do you still...
NICE!
You're on it, boys!
What is it here, Lothan?
Do you still...
...think it's over in two?
Guys, cause...
I don't think so.
It's that was over.
Yeah, but off to A comes 9.
Under 9.
10.
Never, never, you never next thing, you never know.
You never, never know unless you give it a go.
The buy is pretty good.
That's not the problem.
Yeah, it is.
The buy is not the problem.
It's certainly not.
The weapons aren't the issue.
No.
What is?
The tactical approach.
What do they need?
Well, they burnt three smokes as the round opener.
They have to get something off of this.
One window, one con, one top cat.
One more superstar.
I'm a roper, maybe actually for a right.
Can't do much more damage than that with an HE.
One, two, three, game of combo.
Alright, inferno, let's go.
You love packing it up, Jack.
A little picnic.
Come on.
It's the flyquist, will you?
Give it up.
It's not the uppercut, it's the round.
I wish we'd go next time.
If they would deserve to win, lads.
Didn't come here to fuck spiders, but I mean look at the legs on that one.
We have fun. We have fun. We have fun. You can't walk out B, that is.
I'm a car. You know Jimmy's alive though. Jimmy's somewhere. The B player. Jimmy is alive.
Oh, and well. And that's round. Hang on, bomb's going back. Hang on.
Youngstar 1v4 attempt. I'm hanging on.
Hang on. Wait.
Youngzooftar.
What's he gonna do? Needs the ace clutch.
I don't wanna say it's over.
You don't?
But, they have no money on one player. Everyone else has loads of money.
So they drop.
Everyone alone, luckily.
They doubted the 1v1 if he goes 3 maps.
Suddenly, suddenly it's...
The tables have turned to teams.
Pine out, called in for heroic.
And we didn't call this one.
I'm because I'm getting distracted and bullied by Hugo right now.
Which is unfortunate.
What do you mean?
I'm not texting you.
You have to be very lucky.
That's not what it is.
We haven't had one all day.
They're on that point. Yes, we haven't been having as much fun. We have four chances to close this out, right?
By the way guys trace did confirm it was him you made the tinder profile for us, okay?
Henry was right we admit that
We did to the bit where Harry was controlling your social media for a while. Yeah, I was a good person
I was good, but we had traced it definitely attended. Okay. Well, I'm sure you guys were doing that
All right guys, wrap it up. Wrap it up Hugo. It's been a great game
It's been a great series and obviously with all good series it goes to a third
That third is in front of a great deciding map here as we go into what should be the last round of play
Hiroko the two versus four situation back to the ramp back to death
Humber makes some noise as we're going the distance here
I've got more for this series
I
Yeah
Hold on
One more I think
We'll be up under
I think I'll go first
Watch your right side
I'll flash one in front of you behind
Flash in front

Jungle is still Jimmy.

Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out!
Dead, dead, come, come, come, come!
Nope, bench, no bench!
He's jungle, up, up, up!
I'm behind jungle!
I'm pushing jungle!
Dark kitchen, make sure!
Boom!
Blue jungle in the smoke kitchen!

Dennis with jungle!
Connect, no peeking, you don't need!
Con, will I speak, guys?
He's going stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs!
Nice head!

1v2, 1v2, 1v2!
Short player!
Short player, I'm on!
Yeah, second one pushed me, okay?
Got me, very close, I think.
Yeah, I come with you.
I'm just sitting there, yeah.
Do the go shoulder pick, shoulder pick for the team maybe.
I'll flash, yeah I'll do it.
You're a channel.
You're a job.
Good repos.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
I'm on the go.
We're fucking boss, we're boss.
Yeah, no kit, no kit.
I'm only boss, I'm only boss, I'm only boss.
I'm only him, I'm only boss, I'm only boss.
No, I feel the voice!
Sick, bro!
Hey, boys!
Look what rounds they are fucking throwing, okay?
Just fucking...
Well, that's not necessarily...
The party you want to be having, if you're a Miles fan,
you came all the way to Hamburg, and you were excited to watch them play in their own venue,
but then they got beat on the first map of the series,
map of the series but oh well cuz it's ESL Pro League's opener who cares what I
think let's go ask them what's going on gamers gamers yeah yeah where y'all from
Ukraine okay did what do you think of the first map of play so I think the
torsion kill was very nice very nice but it kind of in vain right I mean they
It's still lost the map. It's not ideal, but yes, it's still lost. So that's bad
Not ideal. Okay. So mouse HQ, right? What do you guys think of the place?
It's a very nice place. We was here last time in summer last year. Yes
So if mouse wins or loses, what do you do tonight? I
Don't care
If we cry, if they're not, we go and drink some alcohol.
Alcohol, no.
They're lying.
They're lying.
To each their own.
I don't think there's any wrong answer.
Do you have a mouse fighting back against the three,
or do you want to end it here with a mouse loss?
Can you ask Lien?
Mouse run it all the way back.
I think they win.
They have more chance.
They play more three rounds, I think.
I mean three matches more, but yeah the teams like Spirit and Furia are very very strong
but I think they will win Heroic. All right well what's your name man? My name is Vova.
All right well he said they're going to win versus Heroic so it is what it is. Thank y'all.
No problem but since you got that picture check this out so we're at the
Mal's HQ right what do you think of the first map? I mean the first half was
pretty good that Torgy clutch was that blew my mind second half room for
improvement in map and the second map but I think Maaz will claw it back I
mean it was Heroic's pick so makes sense that they would have more strats
for that, but that's why I'm looking forward for the second map.
So where are you from? Where'd you come from today?
I'm actually from Hamburg, but I was born in Indonesia.
In Hamburg, do you think that events like this grow the community?
It brings a lot of the fans together, and it spreads the word of mouse more as well,
bringing friends who are not maybe into CS like I did earlier. And people love events
like this and you know we're all together would be better if we didn't have the
delay but it is what it is and just being there together is I think a great
thing as well. Any more LAN events for you coming up? For sure. Where do you want to go?
Cologne that's definitely on my list and one day maybe like Dallas, Rio those
are awesome events. Well good deal man enjoy the show. Thank you have a good
Time in Hamburg.
That's the plan.
Donka.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank God that's over.

Oh, it's Friday night boys and it feels all we've got the distance. Oh baby. We're in
the EPO clue. We wanted it. We wanted that third map, the elusive third map and it's here.
The two zero crew is dead. We've had only only our second third
mapper of six days. I think you and I cut out for this. Yeah, we like to have fun
Here's these younger men. We've done more three mappers than they're gonna have had breakfast now listen
You're still getting to the motions. Henry. I have this breakfast. We've been dedicated to Counter-Strike for 24 years
Come on. Oh, Harry's 24 years old. I'm not
Close enough though. There's two weeks now. We got one more map. It's gonna be inferno
Yeah, but we do have more emails coming in with this whole Evan and Mark Spass. Oh, okay
Okay, there's a response now from Evan or Mark.
Evan, send a bit of a spat.
And who's the one told to go on a date, right?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see what he's got.
So, Evan's come in, title of the Emo in defense of Evan, so I like it.
Talking about himself in the third person.
I feel a little betrayed by Mark.
That's fair enough.
Kind of threw him under the bus.
He decided at the end of the day.
Well, he just wanted his friend to be online and play games.
Yeah, but his friend has a shit job.
Well, maybe he does have a shit job.
Well, maybe he does, you're right.
I think he'd admit having a shit job.
Okay, so what?
Some jobs and shit.
I was trying to help him better his life and suddenly he put my dating struggles on blasts of thousands of viewers
That's a fair opening idea
It's fair. In defense of heaven. Yeah. While I won't deny the marks what Mark said about me
I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should look for a better friend. Oh
Not only have a healthier work-life balance, but will be on the game before 9 p.m. Any thoughts?
That's a bit far now listen. It feels like it's got to have out of hand. Yeah, it has
I'm not sure we can come back from this.
I think they can repair this. It's too early days.
Once you burn a bridge though Chad, difficult to rebuild it.
It's not even a lie yet.
Here's the truth. You might have done it. You might have got it the wrong way,
but ultimately all the shows that you care about each other,
you want what's best for each other.
There's actually a positive message to take from this.
You know, both things can be true.
You know, like, you want to play CS together.
Sure, you're kind of both admitting that,
but also, you know, Evan, he just wants what's best for you.
He wants you out there. He wants to share you with more people. Yeah, I think when this thing up
I think we're in that culture
It'll come back soon. I think when we look at it from Evans POV
He just wants he's made to game with you obviously really enjoys. I don't know how to mark right?
I know that feeling as well. I know that feeling as well
But we also have another email coming in from a different mark which is tangentially kind of similar part of the story
Okay, he comes in and says hello my lovely castes. It's a different mark
But I have the same problem with a different guy named Charles. Okay, okay
I'll be having Charles to email this one is Charles Markley too many going on
But yeah, it will always say coming online in five or ten minutes this
Sometimes he's half an hour. Yeah proceeds to not arrive on time or nearly close right waiting time is longer than the actual playtime
It's alright. He should be listening to the stream right now
So if you could call him out username that X new X guy, it sounds like I'm waiting here with the problem
Oh, well, I'm very aware of this issue.
I was saying I've run into it.
And my takeaway for this is it's one thing to take longer
than expected, but I think the noble thing to do
is communicate.
Yeah, I want to be there.
It's life.
If you say five minutes, you take 20 minutes.
That's five, 20 minutes.
OK, Bob.
Send a message.
My plans have changed.
Just communicate.
Well, I'll say, Hugo, this used to be me, right?
I used to be this guy.
Don't do this anymore.
I actually don't do this.
But you did.
Harry would be the guy saying, look, I just need
15 minutes to go inside.
Four hours later, four hours later, we're still sitting there.
You know, Rush has started a whole new game.
He's wasting everyone's time.
Four hours.
Yeah, that's a bit.
I was watching Lord of the Rings.
Oh, okay.
Extended Edition.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Director's Cup.
No communication, of course.
It's impossible to reach.
Oh, no.
Phone's off while the film's on.
True.
It's a good film.
He's a dad now.
I do give him that.
No, no, no.
But now he's the most reliable.
I'm actually like incredibly punctual.
Okay.
Well, fair enough.
It's because gaming comes along infrequently.
And so when I say I will be there at 7.45, I am there at 7.45.
No, I'm not. I'm not late. I'm not late anymore.
That's all right. But so I don't know, I guess essentially.
Communication. Yeah, just let them know.
So Charles, if you are watching, come on in, play with your boy.
And yeah, just clear communication.
I think for Charles, his intention is probably to be there in five to ten minutes.
But things do happen.
Well, we're running late into the night here for this final map of the series.
series is mouse take that knife round at the deciding game of inferno alive in Hamburg, Germany in mouse is
HQ we got trace in there as well
Hopefully giving us a breakdown of the vibe and that we'll need to see if mouse could overwhelm heroic
Who came in hot and heavy to start their series pulling it back or dust to take you over mouse and Henry take his way
It's a photo. I feel like mouse got a troll dust to I agree. I thought I agree. I was like I done deal
I don't know how they gave it away, but they should close things out in Inferno
They are objectively the better team. They're an actual team rather than playing with standing
Could we I should be a dog calling youngster standing? Well, okay from now on I'll never say it again
But I just think he's been there all year long
Okay, you're right. It's been three months, but he has been there all year long
It's fair enough
All three months. Yeah, he's been there. Yeah, it's been here. It's out. Corinne's never coming back. No
He well he's never you know it Henry. I know it well, you know Harry knows it
You gonna say sorry Alcron if you're watching rushing for you to find out this way rush does it I don't think it's come back
I wish you would though. I liked watching young stars stream. So oh
It's like yeah, okay. Yeah, right then ladies and gentlemen. I hope you're ready
I hope you locked in boys third and final map. It's a big night
With the jeweler lead to zershin and it's gonna be a quick little count of 48 bombs I hear
The USP's it looks like a done deal.
Jimmy got hit in the face with a flashbang.
He just...
It didn't blind them.
Just get the bomb down to this point.
That's all you're really hoping for.
I don't have anything else to show.
Oh, hang on.
Oh!
It was a moment.
It was a moment.
Yeah, I have trouble with rush sometimes with gaming stuff.
Yeah, sometimes we're gonna be playing.
Here we go.
Let's go to Salbert, shall we?
It's a great time to do it.
And then it's couple's bedtime.
There's no time to do it.
There we go.
Oh, D-Sed up.
And he set up a check for the doghouse town.
That's nice, you know?
Yeah, now I'm sure it is.
It's just, you know, it's good.
I'm away a lot of the time, Henry.
I don't really get to game all the time.
You get to game quite a lot.
I would say you normally have a computer in your hotel room.
Not as much as I'd like.
I would say most of the time you have one.
Yeah, just not, you know.
I just really like playing with Russian.
I like playing with you, man.
He just doesn't have time for me these days.
Oh, come on.
You guys want the same things.
You want the same things.
It's just sometimes logistically not possible.
Communication or whatever we said.
Yeah.
Run through the smoke.
Oh, OK.
Well, B is not open, but kind of a GR.
All of them saw it's over the woods, banana.
It's good.
First time.
Good deal.
And they managed to get in.
Shocked Ian just molly it.
He went for the fight, and now they're in 2v2.
Damage done, but well read by young star.
the gap in the smoke exploited. Jimmy P there. Spinks could have just stopped this with a
molotov. Now it's out of control. And Jimmy, no kit, even that smoke on the bomb. It's
only going to do so much. They've rerouted spawn. He's about to walk back turned into
this. Good night. Heroic find a force by yet again, not their first. Alright, if
Heroic win this one, there'll be an eco up next. I've got more emails. More emails
Coming in on this Friday night for this talk back radio station 96 FM. That's what he doing
Jimmy of a video, please
Some of your best
Someone said is Chad been drinking not yet getting ready for the club
All right, come on then.
Force up for Bows.
I only go to the clubs where they have the sparklers.
Yeah, you want that.
You need all the attention in the booth.
Fire in the club.
What are you talking about,
when you ordered the champagne and bring it through?
Sponges.
Sponges like LED boards.
Yeah, niggas like LED boards.
Yeah, niggas like LED boards.
You need some improvement.
You need some improvement in the club as well.
Are you in the club?
Let us know.
If you're watching in the club right now,
that's legendary.
Honestly, in Mongolia,
they will be watching in the club.
I've seen it, but my own eyes.
Any Counter Strike tournament in any night club,
They have Counter Strike on all the TVs.
That's just because you walked in.
No, honestly.
And it was like, shit, turn off.
Only false and false.
They bloody love it out there.
Any Counter Strike tournament, any night club,
CS will be on there.
That's awesome.
How many night clubs did you go to in Lombetal?
Three.
That's a good amount of clubs.
Yeah.
Every three day of this.
It was at least a week, I think.
We went to three different clubs or had CS.
That's a slight problem in this one.
We've traded out three T-shirts up,
and every night well then broken a force by back and the force by wars continue
some of the most exciting rounds of Counter-Strike in the early stages of a
game when nobody able to break serve you won't be getting these emails just yet
everybody hold your horses that means you still have time to get an email in
and your fools.
Yeah, chill, mail bag.
Add your G.G.G.
Maybe you have a friend that does something that annoys you.
Oh, no, we can't just be the Agony Onks.
Communication.
Agony Onks.
For accurate.
That is a good one, though.
Well where are they?
What are they?
Yonks?
No.
I'm a father.
Surely that qualifies me automatically for Unks.
How old are you?
28.
How old is that?
That is Unk.
Isn't Unk 30 plus?
No.
It ships down.
You could be like 25.
Kids nowadays are like Unk.
There's someone in there private of their life.
25.
That is too much.
28, I agree there.
28, yeah.
Too old.
Way too cringe.
Anyway, cringe to be that old.
Take it from me.
Alright, a long creep.
Pull it down.
Ooh, well it's a lot of springs.
Oh!
Wrapping A.
Too short, too long.
It's Jimmy down here in the pit.
Oh, it's not the best way to do it.
I'm the force of my victory on the team.
The Famas being purchased in current year.
You were asking to lose.
Just play MP7, bro.
You're safe.
No.
No.
I'll give you a call and lose everything.
No.
Losing everything does sound fun.
Oh, my.
There's a Famas for you.
Save, Robin.
The babyface killer of Once Upon a Time.
Remember that was his nickname, Henry.
What's that his nickname?
face killer for growing seven years ago 2019 fanatic almost as good as baby go
baby don't think that I'm Chad does not like that you don't like it either yeah
I really hate you you definitely hate him I can't stop talking it's a terrible
nickname all right we got an email coming in from somebody live and direct to
the Mouse HQ spectator how would you say this name EIS
Ice? Ice? Ice, I guess, I don't know.
Ice is emailing in. They say they don't know Evan or Mark, but they have a compromise.
What is that?
Mark should quit his job and date Evan.
That goes to work.
That faces all the issues.
Everyone's happy. Everyone's winning.
It will not be paid.
Only downside.
Not so you double your wardrobe as well.
Exactly.
So, if anything, it's only winning.
Consider it.
I said, Charlie Shane would say.
Look at that whole winning thing with Charlie Shane.
What a ton of your life.
Got it backfired in the end.
Winning!
Alright, well, it's another force.
We'll do this one backfire.
Bosh!
What have you got?
Couple of rifles?
Yeah, it could be a word.
Look, they did ball with less.
Couple of sewing machines with the MP9.
I'm the only one paying attention.
Really?
If I did a quiz right now, I would fail.
Oh they missed an A for half wall.
It's not going to cost them though, see where my kill comes in.
Second wave, half wall blocks.
Surely this forces them into A. Two players porch side.
It's Torgie.
It's Jimmy.
It's the two man tower of doom.
Hello.
After which we die.
Another force bomb.
Oh, you hear them in apps. You hear the first steps.
They're charging out into the open, and that's exactly where Maus want them.
Okay, 5-2 rounds in a row, in fossil penetration continues.
This is not clear in this. You never get a chance.
Harry, at what time in the round did the first kill transpire?
Which round? This round.
Oh.
If you took the first and last letters of each player's name on the row, what is it?
He just smashed it.
Longest word you could spell.
How do you know that? He smashed it.
I have like that Michael Cera internal clock.
Tick tock.
Goat platform. Long shorts.
Long short format.
I have like the opposite of BrainRot.
If you could, I only watched really long videos, like the 12 hour video essays.
What's the opposite of rotting?
Flourishing. Flourishing, yeah.
Brain flourishing fun.
Brain flourishing.
I watch EPL to laugh. I watch Maui Snake to learn.
AHHHHHHHHH!
Fucking sick!
Fucking sick boys.
Let's fucking have a force fight again.
Top mid smoke.
Which team would you rather go to the club with?
Heroic.
Heroic?
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Heroic.
Georgian, Chad, and the Cod, are the nine-nirth ones.
That's it.
They're going, they're going, man.
Those are the last two people I want.
All right, we're going to ban for ban here,
playing a play.
If you go in there, you have to buy them drinks.
If you go in there, they can do it.
Yeah, I guess he's right.
They can pave the booth.
And the sparklers.
I don't know.
I feel like Youngster.
I'd say, come on, you got to that second place money.
Youngster knows some people, though.
He's getting us in.
Oh, for sure.
We're getting past the velvet rope.
Yeah.
No, I do believe that.
I don't know, Ian Crison in the club would work up to this EPL.
If anything, there's sparks between you two.
Yeah, we really get on.
There's a chemistry.
We do get on.
Yeah.
House on fire.
This is surely where the Force by Wars comes with it.
That's what they want you to think.
A crashing hole.
That's what they want you to think of.
Who's they?
Scriptwriters.
Ah.
There we go.
No, it's landed.
A couple.
Surely that's it. Two big booms.
Bring on the execute.
Two smokes, a molly, another molly, a hope, a prayer, a dream.
A chance? Here we go. No chance.
Zero chances.
Don't pass, go. Don't click $200.
And that'll be that mouse.
This is about to be 4-2, but realistically 5-2.
Yeah, zero. Voss bonus really accumulated here. Try and do some damage.
Need to die before time.
I love that. Sweaty Betty.
Have you got three AKs for the next round and CC side? They certainly do.
Four kills for Brolin.
Juiced to the gills.
I got another email coming in from this from Mimi. Mimi says, hey, I recently left
a comment on Brokey's profile offering to be his girlfriend.
I fear this may have hindered with the team practice and Broke is overall
focused. For that I'd like to apologize. Would you guys be kind to forward this
apology to him? Do you have any advice for me to support him properly as his
future wife? Broke has got me blocked so I actually... no you always have to apologize.
You sounded so sad when you said it, sorry about that.
No, I'm just a great comedic actor.
Oh, yeah, OK.
Samu's watching with his dad.
So he's explaining to his dad how Counter-Strike matches work.
Can we say hi to his dad, Ari?
It would mean so much.
Hello, Ari.
Hi, Ari.
Hope you enjoyed the Counter-Strike.
Sorry about some of the topics and language
that we might be using here on there.
We like to have fun around here.
It's not normal.
This is not normally that's a meme. It's a whole separate kettle of fish
I'll be able to get most of the references on display
A lot of people don't know this one's a bit more silly. His dad could be about Henry Amaya's age. Excuse me. We never know
It's true. You and I could as possible Henry. We are old enough a donk to be our kid. Are we? Yes. How old is donk?
19. Oh, yeah. Okay
Yeah, rude awakening. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I never really thought of it like that
Well, now you have and now you won't ever forget.
Um, no, I definitely won't.
Yeah, well, shout out to all the dads out there.
Yeah.
Clean sweep 11 and one on Brolin.
Just keeping track.
The game doesn't for us.
Shits.
Apology for the language there.
This is not normally like this. There will be more. It is Friday night. So I better the club all day
In fact, it's it's unlocked it. We have fun around here
Okay, Asian they
the tourist Lee
Prodigy shop. This is an ace at peace gentlemen's. Oh, and it's a pretty quick one of that. Look at the pace on this
Oh
All right. I've seen enough
I also wouldn't probably
Again, oh as usual
as expected
they do love a pro league tournament
it has to be set
it's kind of their home tournament
they do love it
as far as tournaments go
mouse
you could say we play
but other than that
you would say pro league
we play merchants
do you guys miss my Al Pacino speech yesterday?
yes
don't recall
it was good
you did uh
what clash of titans is it?
braveheart
what's the movie?
it's not a remember the tines
that's a different movie
is it?
tac on tine
tac on tine
so that's it
tac on tine
It did attack on Titan's speech.
That's Russia's favorite.
I'm in the ego.
Isn't it, Hank?
Oh, no, actually.
Oh, what am I saying?
Don't do this.
Don't do this, Bill.
I've learned my lesson.
What is a great anime, though?
It's from any given Sunday.
It actually is the Lord of the Rings of anime.
Any given Sunday, great film.
It's never seen it.
You should watch it.
Sports film.
Basement reality.
I've seen it on the club tonight.
That's where they get out.
The Gino's speech is from Henry.
Oh, nice spray.
Oh, this...
Oh, this
Stuck between wheels have fallen off the modern a club place
Some of your best work Harry. Thank you. We are in the club
I've already done that.
Jimmy's got this one.
Jimmy.
Okay, very well.
This is Nilo's crowning moment.
I like the reroutes.
I think this is the GG moment, Shadow.
You know what I'm saying?
He's the King of Kings now that Crims is still playing,
but not really.
Where's Crims?
Where is Crims? No, we're really.
Just a multi-major winner.
Aren't we all in a way in our heart of hearts?
Seven to two that's the partial guns coming out next
Running out of room here for heroic. Yeah, it's kind of peace ring hours and out those four spies remember those
Yeah, they they had fun. Yeah, they did have fun for two rounds
I think it more on the other maps. Okay. I don't think it's this one's been very fun for them
Garage wasn't that fun, was it?
It was fun enough.
Yeah, like this one is a bit of a...
a wrecking.
Hmm.
What about the other game we saw today?
Was G2 and FaZe? Did FaZe have fun?
We love that one.
Not really.
I know, there's some great ideas on this.
Okay, we're back.
Okay, let's chip me off.
I'm back.
Okay.
I forgot about that whole bit.
31, no voice.
So we were in better form during the FaZe G2 series.
Oh yeah, for sure.
I don't think so.
No, we won't.
With a debrief tonight, we all know her, we all know her.
Hugo knows her, Rush knows her, Jane knows her,
we all know her.
Two nightmarish individuals who will not be named.
They've had nightmares.
True.
Oh, now the alien twins.
You stack dropping tonight, do you hear that?
You stack.
You stack.
Being deployed.
Melatonin's being added to the stack.
If you can't, you can't take it every night.
I'm just going to take it tonight.
You can't.
I mean it will like ruin your life yeah, but you could have some great sleep. Yeah
For a while until it no longer does anything which is why you can't take it every time you physically can't sleep anymore
That's the dream is it? Yeah, you have high quarters all that way. Yeah, and low tea. Oh, yeah tea will go down for sure
Speaking of tea is going down over here a banana
Oh, look at the base!
Yeah, it's your knights!
The chance there is a lot of them moving in on the banana side!
When it comes to rounds, heroicity total!
Okay, and any on the guns...
I was surprised to joke there for you all!
I was kidding!
But...
Forget about the club!
Zershyn's going down here, the trade surely comes through!
Round.
Oh, your...
Chad's dead on.
Nice, Nade.
Come on round to movie like a G6 ruler of the planet Omicron per CIA. It's a
back of the site. It's a future armor joke. Come on. Deep, too deep. Very specific.
It's great. Flashback in. And they're waiting for Jimmy. Show me what you've
got. That's a Rick and Morty reference. I believe just like Matt. You're groaning
at the end of that one.
Oh, okay.
He created the circle.
He's got it all for circle.
He's got it all for circle.
He's got it all for circle.
Very good.
Very quick.
Stuck the landing.
Fair play to him.
Ah, this game's not exciting each other at all.
Do you reckon Bucket Heads brought his buckets?
No.
What kind of buckets were they like?
Popcorn buckets.
Popcorn buckets.
Popcorn buckets.
Yeah, they've got to bring your buckets.
Do we...
Bring this popcorn at Hamburg.
That's true.
Trace could bring back popcorn buckets from Hamburg.
Popcorn bucket.
And then we've gone full circle. Yes, it's time to learn hamburg ease
Yeah, this game still do it if I wonder why do you use the score line? It's the score line. It's the convincing rounds
It's just a good thing. We we could have said cast a win now's win. No respect
No, but I respect now so much. I respect now so much that they should already be in the ground fun
Yeah
My words Hamburg miles to be in the grand final
Now's versus foot to see who graduates first
It's mouse versus spirit. I've already read the script. You think spirit at being for I got a bridge in Hamburg to sell
Oh
Young star 1v4 you can feel it brewing sometimes you just know ace clutch needed eagle out
Come on young star. He's primed
Trying to keep his energy high
Can we get Jimmy P for the ace at least if we can't get a young star 1v5, let's give a Jimmy P ace
right give us yellow rush oh miss your car
give Jimmy P the ace bro boys are coming up
he's still just showing
have you got a meltdown here
okay the final round give us something
anything don't let it finish like this
on a Friday night the people want more
What have they got in the club after this?
So bring it up.
Yeah, same.
Well, Chris isn't dead enough.
That ain't a vibe of someone going out of the club.
Harry, maybe one of you want him down.
Two and eleven.
I couldn't do that.
No, one of you might want to go out before he goes out to the club.
Oh, true.
It's not a time.
All right, final dish attempt here for Roy.
Club 11 on top.
How does he get two?
The date certainly helps.
I knocked him out.
Harry's dug deep for this final hard fight.
I really tried.
Look at this! Come on!
Come on, Heroic! Do something!
Harry's got MVP for this series, I reckon.
Yeah, it's going up.
JimmyBee drops the bomb out in mid.
JimmyBeast nails it.
Winded up, Harry.
And this is a done deal on the double-digit half for Maus.
Ready to lock in those finals.
I'm away from Heroic. They had to go and pick it up.
up. But look at what they're going into. A terrifying sight indeed. Toshi, Jimmy, you
hate them both if you're heroic. And so they're going to try and go elsewhere.
Now towards Freiberg's domain.
What famously the king of banana reference in the younger viewers?
Seem to be aware.
Freiberg, are you kidding me?
And that was Anders as well, Chad's referencing of as a man of a old reference to the younger viewers.
Free take, B. This is sensation.
That's Toss Pop.
Flash.
Oh, they're sweating bullets right now. That's a double digit half.
Four miles.
This one.
Quickly building to be as good as done.
Someone find the burgers, Dan.
i got him
i got him
go get him
down
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. Hope you're enjoying your Friday night the pre drinks of flowing and mouse boards
It looks like it's a done deal boys 10 to 2 you couldn't ask so much more here on the third and final math
Last few rounds of the night any closing words and thoughts boys. What have you seen so far?
What have you enjoyed in the wise words of baby Yoda? It's not over till it's over. Okay, so you're saying there's a chance
Okay
Philosophy and concept of a series being done and Chad is I
I grew Chad for more rounds. I've got this. I think they might in OT. Yeah
Starts with a pistol and a dream. I'll first the pistol
Then the magnesium, then the dream.
Then the nightmine.
The nightmine's doos.
Oh, there you go.
Very vivid.
Magnesium nightmine.
This is like a pendulum album name.
Here we are.
Ooh!
Okay, it's fine.
They've really chipped away out of here.
Bomb will go down.
Extra 600 cash in the coffers that'll inform the force by.
But Brolin and Jimmy P.
There's always a way.
2v5.
Look at the jive.
Bro, I can fumble on a few advantages today.
Okay.
This could be one of them.
Oh, no chance.
Oh, no, no.
Unloasable.
14 and 3 for Brolin, but un...
Oh, my God.
I just got this.
Brolin!
Brolin's going to do it to him.
He's going to do it to him.
No!
They don't know!
They don't know!
They've handed this to Brolin on a silver platter.
They've handed the kit.
Oh, I had to nail it.
It's still going to be close.
They've got it.
They've got it.
They're fine.
Closer than it had to be.
Oh, what are you doing?
Closer than it had to be.
What he did there though.
Alright, the first of many.
We found the burgers, Dan.
We're going to build this clay.
Good throwback.
I didn't see that coming.
We found the clay pigeon.
I think we'll assemble the pyramids.
So, we had the force by wards at the first half.
That's the only rounds the road picked up.
True. Hard to argue with facts, but some people will try.
Full facts. No cap.
No printer.
Exactly.
As far as how to gray series.
They smoke that, haven't they?
Not a lot of it.
What are the pyramids in clay line?
Yeah.
I didn't just Google it, because...
I imagine they weren't built with clay.
They're not made out of clay.
You had to Google that?
Well, no, I assumed they weren't.
Okay.
But I thought, like, maybe...
Oh, this clay is really...
What did they use to keep the blocks of the pyramid together?
Was it just blocks on blocks?
Blocks on blocks.
Blocks on blocks.
Just heavy.
So no clay.
I mean, in the Kingsjade...
It says smaller pyramids used mud brick.
We are in the mud, yeah.
We are in the mud bricks.
I will say this, there's no Kingsjade, but you know that.
I know that.
We all know that.
It's not actually the tomb.
I agree with that, Jake.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
It's a power source, Henry.
Well, that's a bit far.
That's a bit far.
Oh my gosh. What's happened to the Spire Wars?
Oh!
Get him out of here!
17 and 4, Brolin.
He's just won the game.
They're done.
They are...
...hottily done.
Oh.
They are so worse than losing the pistol, losing the second round.
What if you lose it all?
Yeah, alright. Well, okay.
After this game is over and just a handful of rounds, guys,
we'll let you know we are going to be getting an interview from Trace,
coming live and direct from Hamburg.
from the studio at the HQ, I should say,
the core of the Hamburg.
We will have to, in the power of television,
we will be doing some filling before the interview is ready.
How are we going to fill that time?
Are we prepared?
I think we'll read some emails.
Okay, that does work.
I have so many emails.
People are loving the emails.
People love it.
This is the most packed mail bag we've had.
Friday night emails.
Everyone's pre-drinking with their crackberries,
just sending the emails.
Pre-drinking responsibly, I hope.
From the club.
I think the new generation are actually not drinking at all, maybe you're in the gym on
the Friday night, on the treadmill, lifting some weights, not on the treadmill.
He emails between sets, doing some self-care.
Great restaurants.
I love that.
I can't do anything with it, but I love it.
I really like it.
This is the burgers, Dan.
The big man.
This is left, Dan.
More gaffer tape required.
Oh, no, not the integrity.
I could have shown you a 3 of 14.
I'm cheating.
I'm cheating.
Let's just let him have this one.
Rules of rules, Hugo. You know that.
Unfortunately true.
Oh, great. Just what you want to be doing right now.
Plugging in the camera.
You're at Crisant's house, we farm with Tegrity.
Ah, we make sure it's actually the integrity camera again means it does
Last time is there not a fine system in place of this sort of thing. We shouldn't be fine in it. We go have fun
Fun does everyone just forget to plug that bone in do the fans get to feed mouths after the match
So what happens to you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're holding us.
Yeah.
You not feed the animals.
Yeah.
Some crisps all pop up in their hand and mouths come up.
She'd be like, pecks it out of there.
You know, we had the question about the date the other day, Henry, that came through.
I don't know if they're on our shift.
What was the question?
Movie, movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if you take your partner to go watch, or you're not your partner, but you're
your date to go watch Mouses?
At the HQ.
Yeah.
There wouldn't be having the best time unless you're a Counter Strike fan and
they might not necessarily enjoy it.
I would say trying to try to bring your interests
In with your partner, you know, I would say with your partner. Sure first day probably not
Okay, see like you wouldn't go to the bow zoo
In the arena like
Like watching porn
Like science they don't do that but a partner sure like
What happened, bud?
Okay, wrap it up, Harry.
Jimmy P.
Remove the trains.
That's my MVP.
That's my MVP.
Right ahead, Jimmy.
In the MVP race? Yeah.
Okay.
How's he doing overall?
F10 and 7, having a great ride, Sheldon.
And he's been under a lot of scrutiny, I would say, the last six months in terms of, like, going from a Wanderkind to, uh, kind of, middle of the road.
That's a sad German.
That's the middle of the road in German.
Ha, much, Sheldon.
Huh?
Middle of the road in German.
I can tell you what is straight ahead, Gradahaus.
Mittelstraße.
Oh, actually might be...
...Gadon.
Rush, it sounds good.
Straight ahead is Gradahaus, right?
Uh, got out of house? Yeah, that sounds right.
Uh, off the links, off the rex.
On the left in it.
Given the 2v2 ago, which...
Through the smoke.
Hello.
Okay.
Oh!
High chance.
I'm gonna give it a go.
Spinks the late round.
He doesn't last, though.
He does not lose.
Flash, bro.
Spinks does not lose these.
I assume he is cooked.
And that'll be 12.
Well, does 2 should have been there.
Oh, he's such a...
I know it was a done deal.
Such a rude boy, Spinks.
Four kills.
17 and 6.
Everyone's got 17.
Spinks, Brolan and Jimmy. Not everyone though. Not everyone, but most of them.
I had four-one of them to move in a pole position.
12-3 man. I thought that was a setup of a joke.
No, well, maybe it was and you just didn't pick up on it.
12-3. That's rough.
Can't tell that twice in a row again yet. No.
Once a rough mud status, there in it, deep neck, submerged.
Is this sinking mud?
Yeah.
You ain't getting out of this.
Your last hope, your last dream comes down to an SMG 5-7 combo.
Sub-machine gun.
I still have enjoyed watching Heroic, I think, you know, not in this map.
Oh, it's been edited out.
They've brought a lot of flags.
They've brought a lot of guts.
Yeah, a lot of guts.
Never give up.
Great Stage 1.
And obviously in a Swiss system, we're going to see more of Heroic this week in Stage
2.
Let's think of a thing about Swiss system.
Oh, what a game.
Jimmy P.
But not in this one, because Jimmy has taken the cake and he's run away 27, looking
to finish this series.
I know what this cloud is.
Hamburg, you got what you wanted.
Make some noise.
Please make some noise.
Please get on your feet.
And don't forget, you can feed mouths
After the shot
You hang around
10.30
It's more like a petting zoo now
You have to interact with the animals after they're done
Okay, cool
Wrap it up, Henry
Stick a fork in this one, it's done
Unless there's always a chance
We have seen crazy rounds this evening
That's true, we have
Not this one
I mean, he has got no kit
And he's got three players to find
and the bombs pretty much already 2 seconds.
Therefore...
He's got it.
Got him right where he wants it.
10-8-3.
The mud man closes it out.
There we go, folks.
Malz, 13-3.
Domination across Inferno.
Dust2 was shaky.
Mirage was muddy.
And Inferno was clear as can be
to dominant last couple of maps.
I mean, we've got the result we expected.
Dust2 should have been closed out.
I guess it was their first map of the tournament.
They were still warming up.
They just got in the booth.
got in the booth as like not a normal environment.
Yeah, that's fair.
Look, I think that the last three halves of the series
have now his name written all over it.
Absolutely.
They dominated and didn't they?
Yeah.
Yeah, strong start.
But I think Heroic, you fumbled a couple of rounds
in the first half of the Mirage that could have given you
an edge going out.
A retake comes to mind.
Yeah.
That was a tiny, that was a done deal at that point.
Yeah, everyone over peaking for no reason.
Yeah, but look, it's costing here today.
But as the Swiss system goes, there's two more best entries to come at a minimum for Heroic.
There will be no 1v1 today, though.
No, that's done.
Fraser's got away with it again, isn't he?
Strong start, but a weak finish.
I might recommend adding Zeke to the stack.
Now, just to remind everybody, if you want to hang around,
we will be getting a ramp from Hamburg.
We'll be getting that sorted ASAP, but right now...
I got it, or...
The bad?
No, Trace closing the show.
We'll just hear until that's ready to go. So how do we want to do we want to have a graphic maybe of the results of the day?
What are you guys thinking? Yeah, look to recap everything and everything that is available to us
And maybe look to the future of what could be true at some point. We're gonna have more games tomorrow
This is actually
Vegas description. I'm trying to get to the future of what might be true
I have a B stream update. Oh, I'd love one. It's still going strong. Is it Aurora?
Aero series behind Hank. So still on Aurora? That was over. Okay. It's Mongols just beating
Pain 2 and 0. One of their games went OT as well. OT in a cleaner second map and their
last game of the day is Fury Abate, which is yet to begin. That's going to be a late
finish yeah holy it's after midnight oh my I've been in the midnight all over the
oh yes it's up and love to see that but we do love to see this is the results of
the day now we take now Monty Monty actually look pretty good they've been
30 1 in the first map was cut in 1 that was 14 for the Navi did like kind of
wake up and close it out convincingly spear against ready max I was better game
than I expected right actually thought I was pretty cool G2 versus phase phase
are looking weak this is be honest all jokes aside they're looking very weak
We expected that but maybe not to the extent we saw and the first month especially 13-1 and then the expected result
Mouse fumbling a map, but I think we'll give him the caveat of first time in the booth
It's a weird and you know my game is a very very convincing finish. So all round good stuff. This is the B stream
Astralis that's a really nice room. What is it?
Really good result domination on the first Aurora and the whole series actually did take down legacy in the end
two to one, we came along with pain.
150 round battle or something.
Oh yeah, they had like, caught over time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very lengthy.
And then, Fury versus Bates, close things out.
You still, if you're, if you're still pre-drinking right now,
you have another series to go watch, I would say.
Get on there.
Quite of an happen.
Or you can stay with us
and catch the interview live and direct from Hamburg HQ.
I think right now to Phil,
what we'll do, because we can't even talk about the matches tomorrow,
because all the results aren't done.
Right.
So we can't even, if you're in an accident.
Can't even do that.
What we'll do is, while we're waiting for Trace to send it through the air.
Yeah, he's wrapping it up right now.
We can maybe go through some emails.
Sure, here we go.
Okay, let me see what we get.
I don't think we need to go to the aesthetics.
Yeah, exactly.
I was gonna say the same thing.
No more narratives, we're ready for those.
There's one from Max Emilliam saying it's his birthday soon.
It's his birthday in two hours.
A lot of that.
Oh, yo, two hours.
Two hours of birthday.
He's turning 23.
So I wanted a happy birthday for the show.
So happy birthday to Max.
You're not an uncle yet.
You're not an uncle yet.
I'm an expert.
Happy birthday, Matt.
Greetings from USA California.
During the show as North American CS fan it's quite sad that our hopes of M80 energy and liquid are out
However, I have the solution team liquid fix minus ultimate plus junior juniors been farming tier 2 NA
So he's and he's so handsome. West shell minus nerds plus hexed
They've lost me a little
Well, I mean you get the North American glory back get the continent on your side instead of a get kill
They may as well
I could want to know how old is too old to have a kid
70 upwards it depends I suppose I'm a lot of mitigating factors that everybody want to unpack that
You know, you know what I'm saying, this is fun
It's hard to argue with that
Just doesn't have to be read on stream. So maybe we didn't had first
us. This is from Samu who was watching with his dad. Okay. So they really appreciate that.
So shout out to Ari and Samu one more time. Hamburg fun fact, you know, Hamburg has the
most bridges in Europe. Nope. That's all bridges in London, Amsterdam and Venice combined.
London only has like three bridges. London Bridge, I think, and it's kind of...
Burnt down or fell down?
Yeah, burning down. Rebuild though.
Yeah, don't care about that fact too much, but interesting I suppose.
This is an anonymous email. They want to know, what if we get drunk, run on the treadmill, then go to the club?
I mean, you'd burn off all the alcohol, then you'd be sobering up.
Treadmill drunk sounds horrible.
No, it's not. It's actually...
It's pretty good.
like it's unique someone was watching at 5 a.m. from Singapore nice nice place
it's a beak I believe that is so thanks to the entertainment not like he could
rely on mouse anyway well they did win they definitely won everyone convincingly
you could rely on mouse so just so everyone knows you hanging around you
gonna be here with us for a little bit longer I actually like this because we
don't get it to go through enough but enough of these if we want to also
sidebar and talk about something else in mind you play some games as well
I can do a quiz.
Yeah.
Rush, Rush already left.
We could get him on the couch or something.
Yeah.
Give him more.
Give him more mail back.
Oh, we can have a mic from Edgey.
Rush is right here.
Rush can just kind of lurk around like a ghost.
Yeah.
I might rest my eyes for a second.
That's fine.
See you in the morning.
Tired now.
Oh, my God.
I don't want to flinch at night sleep.
I can't do this again.
I can't do this again.
Edgey can't do this again.
Edgey can't do this again.
We still play face it when we get in
Can't we just play together before we
I wanna do both
I'm greedy
If we just pick one then we can spend more time doing the other one
Is MC here?
MC here
It was working before, he might still be working
This is Anima coming in from Ben
MC we didn't face it
Yeah MC's in
MC's in
Can I just explain that to you?
If you go to bed earlier
I don't want to be here like like finishing 16 hours into my day, but all at least I got to play those bugs like that
I'll get up at what like same time. That was good. That was nice, right?
Well, we got two games
But I played two games today. Yeah, we could do three we could have yeah, just play faster
Just win quicker
We got one here coming in from Ben.
Ben says he's writing about a persistent problem affecting the gaming friend group.
Okay.
Another domestic?
No, it's not a domestic.
It so happens that he has Unk status because he's about 5 to 10 years older than most of the group.
Average age is 27, he's 35, and there's some 22 year old young guns.
Most of them are terminally online and ready to queue after the drop of a hat and a Discord ping.
First of all, Ben, get off Discord.
Second of all, get on TeamSpeak.
However, I have a job and a family and cannot always join much to the
There's not really a solution to this problem. That's it. It is unfortunately like
That's unlucky you're not a professional player I would say focus on the family in the job
I think he's just saying here. How does he get these friends to accept the new reality?
I would say Ben maybe give up the wife and the kid. Okay, coming at it from a different angle
And just just focus on the game
Yeah, fair enough.
Look at us.
I mean, you and I...
We're not part of my children or family.
Yeah, out of choice, sir.
He's chosen to have a family.
For now.
For now?
I've made that choice.
You know, you can liquidate all assets at a moment's sake.
I've locked that choice in.
First, we're gonna...
Think about physics class.
Okay.
My university physics class starts in 20 minutes.
Shall I skip it in order to watch the map?
Nope.
Well, I'm late to the email.
Okay.
I hope you did skip it.
100% in the class. Yeah, definitely skip it. Here's what's
done. You're really crushing on in the class. He's only
killing it. It's better than the best. We would have ended
this show already. Never changes. You know, famously. Well,
like it will, but like that'll be huge news and you're not,
you're not, you're not gonna hear about that life. All the
physics have changed, you know, the announcement happens
in that lecture. You probably have a huge news.
Gravity knew Tim was wrong. He was way off.
We've just got the word.
Oh dear.
Oh that's good.
Yeah you're right. Trace better. Smash is better.
This is not going to be work.
Give us some more. I'm liking this.
We're not far off.
I actually wish that we could do this just forever.
I could. This could be a podcast as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about you leave all your family a podcast and come join us we make a new podcast the podcast to be called fun
But the stack oh
Shads interested so but how we doing it with this we got this this studio out
We got all the equipment just come here every week. We live in Moulton though. Yeah fly on either tweak
This podcast one hour a week wouldn't it be easy to fly him out to us
in Malta.
That could work.
Okay, logistically, yeah, maybe.
Instead of us all flying.
Okay, in Malta, we'll find a studio rented out, the stack, or the A-stack, or the B-stack,
the stack.
It's the stack, the stack.
What's your stack?
We could get sponsored by Mega Brain Chatstack as well.
Mega Brain?
Yes.
We could make that, that could be the product.
We'll sponsor ourselves with that product.
And what's in your stack?
My stack has always got Mega Brain.
Mega Brain Chatstack.
I need product sponges working on right now to help young gamers with their low
T levels.
Yeah.
I got this will raise the course. It's all that force. It's a plenty of a mouse. I don't know if I want to keep reading more
I'm enjoying the riffing. How about a game of countries? Okay? Yeah
Obviously we know players from countries. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not this country's general plan. It's obviously
What's a good one? What's a bloody good country?
My name a player or a country. We say a country. They say players from that. Oh, and we go around again

Chad Stacks out what you do change that's not the feeling right now

Interesting
Thanks, Spitty. Oh don't take mine. That was my second. I have nothing left. You say JDC. I like it didn't count
No, I'm nice. That's cheap. Let's do something proper. I've got time apparently
Henry, there's a German guy in sauce.
There's a guy called Erotic Jesus in sauce.
Remember him?
Remember him?
EJ?
You can go with him.
Erotic Jesus?
We are ready to send it over to Trace.
Okay.
All right, let's get out of here.
We're done for this.
Chad, wrap it up.
Trace, take it away.
Tell us more stinks.
We just beat the Jit in the quarterfinals here in the arena with the fans and the
camera.
The guys in the team are good.
No.
On a serious note, we had the...
the water financier in the arena with the fans and the camera the bugs in the
team are good. On a serious note we had not the best art, not the best art but
it's fine. It's a new environment I would say. We had a lot of tech pause and
I don't think we had the best art to our mental side I would call it but
as long as we come back and we finish on this style that's what
important. I'm happy we managed to win. And yeah, let's
know with the same is
your legend. First of all, also, I do want to say there are
some real shining moments out there. Some really cool stuff.
Mainly I'm thinking of towards you with the AWP on Mirage. I'm
like, yo, okay, fair. Roll me back to that just a little bit
in your mind.
And I don't know when you say totally and every P I just
remember the one before and that's two. After this one,
I thought we are winning the game, but apparently we are
I'm not, but yeah, everyone had their moments.
It did feel more than just ESL probably
grew online game, at least for us.
And yeah, it's enjoyable to play
and more importantly, enjoyable to win.
So we talked a little bit about before
and just the proximity of the fans
just right here in front of you.
Do you feel closer now?
Do you feel like those are your homies out there?
Like, if you had to pick one to be your best pal,
which one is it now?
The best pal, we have this guy here.
I played Fatuit with him, he's a huge mouse fan, I met him a couple of times now.
This one is the mouse jersey, the mouse jersey in the watch.
Yeah, I played Fatuit with him, he's a huge mouse fan, I met him in a lot of signing sessions,
he's always supporting us, so I would say this guy.
And you do have that to do today still, right? A signing session.
Yeah, we have a signing session now after the game. It's a bit late, it's the easiest,
All the fans came to show us so we need to do we need to also do something for them, of course
That's what I'm talking about. Well, you guys one today floor is yours. What are you gonna say? It's right there
We want to do floor is yours. Thank you. We wanted to support the dust in the arena. It was a pleasure
Stunna came through he's laughing but
Just thank you for who came to support us. It's always a pleasure to meet you all
Now we are going to meet even closer in the signing session and
Moving to the same is no more. Thank you
Dang dang
You can get this hoodie it's on sale right now
Well, hey, man, you might want to call somebody anyway. Thank you so much pinks. Good luck in that same one. Thank you. Thank you very much
No problem, Jimmy, please man carry on keep your gun in going
Absolute wild wings absolute scenes around here as well. I do just I wanted to pull the bracket up here
not even bother that. But yeah, you heard them say some final words there to door in too because
he's not here playing with them, but all in all pretty cool experience. I've had a great time
here at the Miles of Slivies. We still have tons of Counter-Strike to go. Again, this was just the
opening day, so you can imagine the amount of Counter-Strike that still has to be played to get
us into that next stage where we want to be, which is the playoffs of ESL Pro League
in its 23rd season. However, we do have still so much more Counter-Strike to date.
What's going on in the B-Stream? I don't even know. They got like a whole other series
going on over there the Mongols decided to you know they played their series and
they had another series after that that's how it works so anyway that's on the
B-Streams go show them some love go see what they're going got going on over
there for us I'm just gonna close it out here thank you so much for watching
ESL Pro League and it's 23rd season today we've reported live from the
Mouse HQ. It's been an absolute honor and pleasure. Thank you so much. Good night.
To my hero, the role model I never had a hero
I learned how to live through the step of your coming from
The icon from the inner period, everything you see ain't what you
Appears though, everything that I built made that from zero
Then added a zero, I am my hero
You couldn't imagine, but it stuck in my mind
This beauty and the passion be at the same time
When a minute asked of me, when it was gang time
Then I know that they mad at me, I'm when you can't find
I'm not from the day, I come alive at night
I'm not what you used to, till you recognize
They all on the ground, while I'm taking flight
You're welcome to join me, I promise I won't fight
Sometimes they say they never get in my way
And even if I make mistakes
I will always season through
Cause I don't wanna play your game
I have enough brain up so I just break your chain
You can never stop spilling up inside of me
I guess I don't fit in with the imposters I'm picking the mask off, prepare your conscience, prepare for honest, cause I'm falling nonsense, I'm all in your shotguns, all your hoochaches, don't call the doctor, bring like a chopper, don't kill your chopper, I'm here to stop you, whoever wants smoke like a roster, break your heart, pop up!
Sometimes they say they never get them in my way
And even if I take my steps
I'm gonna always see them through
Cause I don't want to play your game
I have enough brain up so I just play your game
You can never stop building up inside of me

Damn, guys, we almost had this.

It can be made from animals
You die can I make glue from you?
No
Well, let's see how this by goes for fury here then again
They've got the two AWPs from the previous round and a great focus on a a quick look Yuri sees nothing as base are well-hidden
That's that pull rotation elsewhere
They haven't
Contested mid for the time being just trying to control connector. That's time passes. There may be concerns in that position
Sizi goes for the crouched peak
And he will paid for his insolence
Five on four then NPL drops as well
Well, this one not going so well for bait so far.
Stuck in sandwich.
It's kind of this is the hotspot to move from.
Oh, okay, we can see who was being locked down there.
And this is going to play with essential with the trade onto your kinder and Alex
with a kill and connector.
Maybe that opens up some space now.
It's 40 seconds to go. Oh wow. What a shot from Alex. He is really popping some heads here so far today
f1p coming out
Imagine being on a receiving end of that. I would disconnect
But there's more to be done 28 seconds to
CTs this will be a very interesting swing case Arato is making the steps to try and bait try and delay that one plot
Won't happen to five sevens enough for the first one. Alex will surely look. Oh, no, he doesn't for malice as well
What a crazy 4k
How on earth?
Damn, Salus guy is he's popping off
That's crazy
Pretty unbelievable that kills actually so far in this game
It's a big trade from essential but then Alex just owns everybody else
That is not
Easy to do that's not an easy decision to make to even look back there with all the other places the city might be
special awareness is
