Not really the text to let a nigga talk back, but I'ma let it slide cause my nigga's too far
I'm gonna try to do the one-twoest that my real life is
Even if they had a million dollars to be tried
But I'm gonna call my girls, shoot them more than I've ever done
That's good, guys!
I'm gonna make the motherfuckin' sound
Then I'll play it back on that 80-inch bag
Then I'll get it and feed it off that super bad guy
Sorry.
Bring on the side of Fnatic, we speak about all the time about the experience that they have.
They can bring into the server and that they're not going to get tired.
We know and they specifically know very well how long some of these tournaments can be.
You're talking about Alf and what he said.
He's speaking about wanting to break the second seed curse.
So just go 13.
Easy.
Listen.
Yeah.
Okay.
But the thing is like last year was a very complicated year.
You look so sleep deprived. Oh, buddy. I'm gonna knock out for at least 16 hours after this shit is over
I promise you which happened same as I am absolutely sleep deprived
It is nice to reverse with them and it ended up in a year with no wins
We're gonna add it, but a lot of why you know stream on YouTube because I like out every time I do it
That's not fun for me. You understand what I'm saying that so close within touching distance of getting what you want
and not being able to do it.
And I think as well, to speak about their journey throughout this kickoff, this time round,
like, they dropped into that middle bracket after their first game, right?
They lost against BBL in the first game that they played,
and now they've had to journey through the whole middle bracket,
make it to that middle bracket finals yesterday.
They mentioned you.
Who? Who? Who's talking?
The lower bracket, where Team Liquid has been sitting pretty comfortably.
They have won, I think, at this point five games back to back to back in this lower bracket.
Oh, the casters.
The question remains, considering they are no strangers to making these runs,
if this is enough for them to actually qualify through an engine.
They were clowning your ass.
That's the thing, like, we have to think about their journey throughout this kickoff, right?
They lost their...
What'd they say? Tell me no.
And the person that sent them to the lower bracket in the first place was Fnatic.
They said Martine did... Oh, is it the tweet?
...the one earlier on in kickoff?
Who cares? I can take all their jobs in one second.
And they know it.
...sit back and chill out whilst that best of five was on yesterday.
Regained that energy a bit quicker than what Fnatic will have been able to consider...
Who cares?
...for the event last night.
and like you said this is completely ordinary territory to them because they are so used to having
Think about it, I can do their jobs better than they can and I've never done it before
Can they do mine as in pro play long time ago? No, they can't, they didn't make it, that's why they were there
They, of course, they have to come in today as well and they had to watch a Best of Five series yesterday
Your prediction? Prediction for what?
Went all the business as well, but I do feel like it's different when you're watching it prepping for the game that's coming up
game that's coming up and you're actually in the server playing it you're so stressed you're so
zoned in yeah I also think that the at the end of the day the momentum has found right now is
like okay we started the tournament with all of these pieces and what's up yeah how are you
so what's up how people are going to be comfortable playing in within the server we know it's
going to be three all right well and they keep pressing it for many boys double you keep
pressing we don't know that beautiful keep doing it we kind of hope that that's not the case
Pressing the key push to talk is three OBO fives are so fucking snooze in very next fashion
But the team has also been unless it's a close maps, which you feel like that has had such a huge it hasn't happened yet
Let's see how they actually are
reacting to these beaches
Please do map I really want us to play our game the game that we actually enjoy to play
Oh shit, I think that confidence we came to in the morning of the day. Let's bring that confidence
Let's not let affect what happened last map
I think where the coaches cannot prepare us will win this map, right?
I also want us to focus on each other, okay?
Focus be the best version of yourself on the server and your team it will become the better version on here
So I see okay
I
Alright the vibe surviving and the masses a pretty great career in motivational stuff
Yeah, isn't it one almost 1am over there. Yeah, but a guy that's dedicated to the fucking setting that speech
Oh, you know so it's a grind not let them play their game
That's what liquid did and if that's what they're doing again today, and they're so responsive as a positive and all that energy
I'll be scared. Yeah, I think when we look at knots as well
Riku, thank you for the 5 gifts and 6th.
Thank you so much, good morning, Ness, for watching your VODs all night while I work.
Now I get to watch you live again.
Let's go, baby.
Let's go, let's do this.
What is this, guys?
If it's a RIP role, you're getting banned.
at a global event considering the amount that he's been to play.
Well, I think they, even though we lost, I think they played better than us, but I
still feel like we need to address how admins work in this kickoff, especially like, for
example, last game, our first game launched in my rate at 80 minutes, so I can open
LTS. T1 players, this kickoff, especially like, for example, last game launched in
Our first game, Nongshim are late, 18 minutes, so I can open the keys.
Nongshim were late, 15 minutes.
I got that right.
Uh, uh, T1 players that always smoke in the toilet, but never, they never get paid.
I don't care.
Like he's a, I'm not allowed to say that, but he had juice.
He's ready.
He's spilling everything.
It's like, oh my gosh.
Wait, what?
What does that matter?
Is that not allowed?
Yeah.
He's out of the tournament.
He started snitching on everyone.
with the smoke. So long ship so far. We have non-ship was late.
18 minutes. Nothing happened. And then T1, T1 were smoking in
the bathroom.
Wraith in the
T1 players, they always smoke in the toilet. No, they never
get. I don't care. I give a I'm not allowed to say that, but
they always smoke and rape in the toilets. No, I get
penalties. But if someone from us goes smoke somewhere is
obviously we will get penalty for that L fucking vape man especially today the
map for the power was like complete stash because this is stax just toilet like what
is happening first of all first time they not only they need to speak the agency
okay but second time they forgot to unlock the veto for the power and
Before that, every game, I'm gonna say to us, if you guys don't know, it's always your fault and you will get penalty for it.
Oh, we just restart the computer.
And, oh, that's happened to us before.
He's saying you unlocked the wrong agent, right?
Is that what he's trying to say?
They did the wrong agent?
The APAC files.
Literally.
Wait, what?
Forgot to unlock agent in tournament client.
Churistic.
Thank you to the Prime man.
I don't understand what that means.
Like like unlock is in you like when you buy an agent
The agent should be yeah, what they should all be unlocked already. What is this guy saying? That's on that's on the tournament organizers
They should immediately be unlocked as is
That's that's not that part is not okay
The first two things are in the players control that third thing he said the agent not being unlocked. That's not on them. Oh
Yeah, okay, so what yeah, that is what I thought originally he's saying
That they locked the wrong agent in agent select and like fucked up by accident and then we're able to change it
correct
How are you unlock locking this different agent twice though.
Fuck it I mean that's such an easy thing to do as a player you just restart your PC.
And that's it they can't say anything.
We start everything everything broke sorry after restart everything.
They even sent in the discord message guys don't forget to unlock Vito if you don't unlock some
panels you'll be added to me but today they didn't unlock Vito we asked Admin to read the penalty
they say uh we don't know they didn't unlock Vito no it's what Mel said but that makes no sense
okay we're gonna we're gonna discuss after the game i think or something like that so i think
just admins need to do something because sometimes like the nepotism or i don't know the word
It's a little bit crazy because it hurts like...
Nepotism!
Teams and like, more purple teams.
That's it.
But they still played better than yesterday.
Nothing to take from that.
He said T1 guys are always smoking in the bathroom.
No one does anything.
But I just don't...
Okay, here's my thing.
Here's my thing, all right?
Why does it matter?
Like, what does that have to do
with the game itself. I feel like that is a very weird thing for him to snitch about. That's all.
That's all. It's a little weird. Who gives a fuck, bro? What? Okay, whatever. So you're gonna,
you're just snitching to be petty, though. You know what I mean? Who gives a fuck?
People have consistently smoked in esports. That's never going to change.
You know what I mean?
You're not going to get a penalty in game for smoking in a bathroom.
Like one does not correlate to the thing.
You know what I mean?
Those two things are not relatable.
He did wait.
They penalized our key.
So he's saying we got penalized for these things, but other teams are not being penalized.
Oh, okay. I guess that's fair, then.
I'd be pissed too, then. I'd be pretty tilted at that.
I thought he's just snitching the snitch.
I see. That's hilarious. W, W Link.
What the fuck happened here?
My boy Jerk can have a lot to say!
Welcome Nets!
Nets, Nets, this is me, I'm Nets.
From Underrated to Unforgettable!
Louis 3k, I think that's a crime and I appreciate it.
Oh no, thank you for the tier one.
Huh?
Batman himself, huh?
There's only one dark knight.
And it's not that guy.
Who did he say he wanted to play Astro in shot?
He said generalmates, right?
Yeah, and he's scared, he's scared of Anatic.
Come on, man.
And with the coaches, Leland and Lohan,
on the last squad, is Gaston for Santiago.
We just wanted fnatic to win.
I kind of want liquid at least put up a play. I do think fnatic's gonna win that.
What clip?
I already addressed that link though. I already talked about it.
North Hunters in the department.
I think it also has to do with confidence.
Do not forget the composition that Team Liquid have been running on fine.
How that works for ManiVu and how he's able to snowball from that onto the future.
So I actually like that.
What up Chris?
Thank you for the security that we can see on the side of Fanatic on that map.
I think it's a good map to start things with for the side of the Liquid.
For Fanatic it makes a lot of sense that they want to go with the Corote again.
Remember this is at the end of the video.
Corode again. Remember this is at the end of the day a rematch of the best of three we saw earlier in the tournament and yes, things have changed in Corode especially for the side of Liquid in terms of composition because they still have not found a win in that end.
Yeah, I think for Corode, right, they moved away from that double initiator from decision and leaned into their strength of that double jillet.
I have a feeling Fanatic might lose. I do not have that feeling.
The only map I'm really excited to watch that I think will be a genuinely good like
Like, map is binded, like that'll be nice, between these two, binded.
Fluffy, thing of the prime man.
Can't do YouTube stream guys, I like.
a play in between the time it's close to not yeah I have to agree and I think to
touch on the top yes to when that has obviously been a flawless map I'm good
on that but crewed right
what do you mean what how's like what's good I mean they play each other
actually I remember on crewed that's brimstone like I don't know where do I
Just Sage as senti.
Sage senti double duelist and brimstone.
Again they're gonna have to play around this KO you tell.
Steals that's true sky search
Is this hundred these pop they have the beta stage
Okay, like they have a yoru they actually have an agent that's gonna be able to deal with alpha
You know we've talked so much about how amazing his bias has been
Way chop did any of you watch the hundred thieves energy game did hundred thieves stand any chance?
Are you guys are all here watching the EMEA game
But bro, I look I didn't see the game obviously
And I didn't watch the Vaude but bro that is a dismantling
13 3 13 8
It's a little rough
Wait some of you might have missed the A-Pack game earlier man that was scary
Our teams fanatic and liquid who's gonna start off strong let's find out was adding in the first map of the series with our castors
Both of these Jason what plus 43
I'm sorry
Minimum making it to international events. I think maybe with the changes to liquid how much they like switched up
That's gonna kill record gets broken today. I mean, it's just kayak or alpha that would do it
Expectations are high. Are you saying like either game guys on your screen right now?
Man and that's who started off as a point the world's best player running it down
Tarak is watching with the Institute. Can you join them?
and the man opposite who many
Do or at least should put as the best side gel in the world one of them is not
Making it to Santiago and it all kicks off here
Warriors up in a way they go fanatic playing quite pass it down the bottom of it
They've already been smoked off, but the pressure is coming in
Wow, that is genius the dog the boaster was trying to go all up with the dog
Nah
Good early economy for them. That's a little annoying if you're boaster
It's doubled up from liquid in this corner. Oh my god. Good trades came by camera, but this time we see the numbers equalize
Yeah, after what was a bit of a worrying start caught by a surprise
All right, I guess I'll spawn as well. It's a lot of space
off a year
Keep an eye on this map. It seems like his home turf of course has to win this round for them
That's how to do it all yes to kill a second guy spawn as well
Wait for the moment and leave him take an advantage with Wayne and leaves me going on heaven
He broke a hundred kills yesterday in the best of five. Let me jump out. I'll find them you find them actually
I'll smoke for you diffuse. I have you gotta get a move on now with the smoke down suspect the player
He's close
I didn't see where
start out the game it's something we expect quite a lot of I'm sure Wayne
would been he's already made a name for himself just in the last beautiful 1v2
because beautiful
I think I can't see the ban I didn't think I'd even try and play this because of how
good fanatic have looked them because of how poor they've looked on the other
side but they have completely changed their composition they've swapped the
roles they've swapped who's playing what they put mini-boo on an agent that we've
seen in pretty much tear apart teams if they were ever gonna play this much this
is the way I'd like them to play it this round though I didn't show them I can't
see them that maximum it's I can't really see them doing any damage at all
you know more sitting there has to be brought first I'm actually gonna go
through it together looking for the fight is three because bro to find the
value here reliable because okay the stun make it unthinkable for a player or
two so damage comes in but I like when we'll see what you got a little bit
more costum maybe they would have liked it ultimately with pistols available
really not the end of the world I suppose it's a good time to ask them
Tom hadn't in this fire I'm like obviously you can touch on this map but
But now the view overall has gone down
Well, I know we spoke before the game you said you sort of see this being like a three-way the fanatic
Are you sticking with that? Yeah, I think we went back as well
I think especially the first few maps. I'm a little bit worried because they also have map
Mapping of one and three, so I don't see them losing their mathematics liquid, but it's definitely not definitive of this
I'd say it's fairly heavy
It goes for
I think that's where it starts to get more interesting. I think breezes look great for liquid and split
3L? I mean 3L is fine too, I just...
And Wayne is winning this A main battle, I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you that right now.
Wow. Am I ever gonna see a kill?
started this map by talking about him and for good reason yesterday those two
clutches he normally doesn't when everyone else is dead though it's a
bit better off staring at radar and it's gonna already clearly be an annoyance in
terms of that wall or when ace towards a main but we know that this plenty more
angles this could come into play a nice attempt with the flash thrown out but
the number is already too far behind man
he has res
res online coming into round four and one on the board for liquid
Yeah
Similar game plan to
Just obsessed with middle a great round for just consistently fighting
can now start to fill it into this attack side a little more the main thing is though
if it's well never mind the theory crafting liquid are going to grass same
thing again rip three it's the exact same thing generally stood but generally
for like far back a couple of times now while conditioning their opponents
but the cash somehow ends up with you purple doing this best defense oh my god
oh my god they got me now this aggression and they have this poster
Watch.
Anything to get pushed me?
I don't think so.
Oh, I see.
I'm not losing any of the clutch clues though.
Not a chance.
I'm loving the aggression though.
Before you can get anywhere this dog man wanted to achieve and this round is all about it
I never stop pushing they're fighting for the spawn towards the end of the
All three I'll take care of them. They now get huge economy advantage
They get to come in with an outlaw for this next round and well fanatic a few pistols and a guardian
It's definitely a low-bye. Nice exact already
Great Molly, that's great Molly quick reactions a camel got him out of God
This is another thing Fnatic did a lot, the B-Pops when they were low by, not much has changed, not much has changed at all.
When you're playing back to back games, I feel like you have to change up slightly how you play the day before.
Bloody fuck it, you got five maps info on you.
No time to change things? They still have brains man.
I can think of the slight adjustments. I'm not saying change everything
Oh my god, why am I afraid? Why am I actually scared he could? This guy's dogs are super human
Good res
I'm like in liquids um, what's the word the word that I used against MIBR yesterday, but the opposite of what I might be our was dear
It's not really aggression. It's um
High tempo I guess I can say I like the high tempo in which this one
They're not living...
They're not living... Fanatic is playing.
Fanatic is very comfy when they just get to play, you know?
Play their slow play style.
Oh my god.
They are not letting them play the video game ones.
They are legit not letting them play.
Wayne?
Wayne?
This is a pause.
I mean, guys, let's not freak out, though.
Fanatic starts like this and eventually adapts.
Fanatic consistently starts like this and adapts.
Let's not get crazy here.
It's not that serious.
This is like...
I'll believe once a one map is won.
And liquid can take off them.
That's sure we can talk about it
Playing with a little passion here, are we?
We're actually playing with a little passion here
We want this
Is there an IGL difference?
I'd say like style difference, because you can hack ranked IGLs,
you can have some low ranked IGLs like Ghostro,
or IGLs depending on your individual performance.
I don't think the IGL style has anything to do with like,
how good you are individually.
It just has to do with what your vision of the game is,
and what best suits your players as well.
More importantly, what your vision of the game is.
But I do think right now, for example,
G2 is the only team that's capable of being aggressive
extremely passive at an elite level from what I've seen this split is there
another team like that currently like I feel like that's everyone's dream like
team a team that's able to play like multiple play styles
Sen? Where?
Wow.
They were able to eco-genomates a lot, but they are not having so much luck here.
Wait, hold? Hold? Why am I talking?
Why are you jinxing?
That's a quick rotate though, he's already here.
You get into the way has them cut off and that's already here
I
Don't think they expect that to be this close. Maybe they do
I have this don't worry whose last guy. Oh this guy again
Let me kill him. Oh Nats you veteran. I thought he's gonna run away and go back to his team. It was a bait
It was a bait to try and get boasted to the tree
Locking on a different position in the meat. Yeah, they're on me right back around this angle
Sd thing that's your one still means there's a chance for both of why select and he faked the runaway with the stem
Boaster can win this two different fights
The throw in but the Molly on the other hand it's gonna block them all from the road take wrap around from Nats container small
What are you doing bro, I'm gonna be plan for that with the gap in the Molly or that was it
But either way very well handled another round for liquid it. Yeah, they do
I can almost understand it. They just called it off.
Good ult on Panatic though, here.
But when you're up against that low by continuing the aggression, it's usually a bridge too far. That's crazy.
I genuinely think if we ever introduce agent Banz and you're playing up against Mini Blue, you ban Neil.
You just do it every time. He's been doing things all the way through this stage that I saw a little bit.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ready?
Ready to push.
Close enough.
close no
a five to two
here this is the map you almost give to fanatic and
a liquid are giving them nothing and almost gone through the wall there
really good old snow for fanatic here
And he gets out. Nice try though. Nice try, nice try. Fanatic is ready. I also like the
aggression because of how many ults Fanatic have. You don't want them to just get to three
eggs up here. So, empty for Liquid there. I like this for Miniboo as well. Even if there
Four people behind him right there
Okay, I like this aggression
They're playing the correct way for the old step for that a cap. You don't want them to guys
I currently is however, I understand that's getting in early enough
He's gonna be able to smoke it and slow them down
This is so good for mouth for the second his wall got tripped. He walks back
He feels that space should now be that bit more open and he could be right if noise was made on beat
Wow. Wow. At 30 seconds they're still top middle. At 30 seconds they still are top mid.
Look at the castra, he's freaking out.
He's losing it, take it easy man, we've got four more maps maybe.
Very good patience.
From the mountaineer.
Well played.
We'll play.
Wow, too thick, he by himself with 30 seconds left and your whole team's still bottom mid.
Now, that's insane.
Only Fanatic.
the acycle plans in that round the first since the follow-up to the pistol still
very good all-stale news one last round because of that fanatic won't be
facing an eco anytime soon ops still in play liquid back to claim for middle
might be giving them an opportunity that smoke's not gonna stay around
forever it is worth mentioning as well though that right here while this
might seem a little bit worrying for them they're gonna hide from this
strong of this man has been sublime nevermind eight rounds versus mates a
six zero versus liquid last time and wow that's like
utility straight in it's all the options Wayne but he is just walled himself into
a corner you can't get me if i can't get you either
and i guess that slows the recovery now the smoke down as well makes it so hard
he does have slows i'm kidding
He's made it just about around that corner half his HP gone little he I love it from kayak man
Bang way more confidently today that plan to at least make it costly on the health bars
He's lost his life and immediately the call from liquid is to go for the save
Damn they instant spotted and cut they spotted off with the drone and kayaks in still rented down in it Wayne is
Still safe in the corner. He can't do anything catching encroach on the rest of the side
Knowing that they've already cleared out mini boo and then out here's utility take away any of those
No one holding that though for
If they want to flee, which they need to get out of a weapon, they're gonna be called
Like how's the guy able to just go all the way up aiming
and wait for anybody to kill them?
and kill mini boo there
Wonderful suffering for not a good adaptation from what we saw in some of the earlier rounds and
I said if they end this off 6-6
I'm still confident that this is gonna happen
A certain certainly no reason to doubt it but the back of my mind you think about what liquid have shown us so far
They've had some good ideas when it came to early set plays. It wasn't just saying it was alpha
Holding is right. I saw that dive through from Canada attempt to handle some players to get them hit by the orbital strike
No doubt
There's plenty more up there save and if they can just keep eating out a couple of defensive rounds from this point forward
They'll be happy five already on the board no up for liquid far
Can they push it the question that remains to be answered and with their credits dwindling can now put out against a play how they want
It's very cool that they have
Very hard to begin in against not that they literally didn't play the last time they played this map
Which was yesterday, so it's clear that liquid have been working on multiple different clubs
Either that they stayed up all night, which would be a terrible idea, and I don't think they did that
Would be dedication I'll give them that but no I think this is clearly something they've had in that
It may be a slightly riskier comp if the last one didn't work out
Okay, like would still have zero info on what's happening. They have no B main control
They have no aiming control
Looking for openers giving kayak opportunities to try and they don't have they don't really have mid either
Why not the other side though? It's just like well, you can pull a wall down. So can I I'm just gonna again delay
And that's what this stage is almost perfect for Wow
Wow, that smoke literally saved his life.
I could have killed him 100%.
43 seconds shot.
43 seconds, neither team has a clue
where the opponent is.
30 seconds.
MidiBoo having B main here.
They're allowed to stack a 23 seconds shot.
in the corner you start to think that it could just be that solo defender yeah
that the same should be somewhere now take it while alpha one guy left on site
let's go in but there's actually a backup as a second player here what a
flash and that's around that's around what a fucking flash though
Flying under the radar has caused it to come crashing down for a fanatic
It's just
Wow, there was milliseconds in that
It's true milliseconds him trying to jump out of the way to flash his opponents and then landing both shots in that split
Second because even though it was so like look ten seconds on the clock here. Hey, it's he goes for the kills
Insane flash, bro
Look at my molly. Wait.
And as you can see, I have no choice but to look at your molly.
I had almost killed him.
But it is to be fair, even if he just cost him an extra one second, molly lands, still can't get the plant.
It's a really nice play from Team Liquid, and I think they responded to that info perfectly.
Again, that late wall from Wayne buying so much information,
and you have to really command Liquid for what they've brought to bear here today.
As you said, that quick turnaround on the comp,
but this looks like something that's being rehearsed for a long time.
Oh
They just keep waiting for the regress. It's just gonna come they know it's gonna come
Sova and way later, it's just over sack a they saw the fact that they're on the left side
Oh, even if there was a trap in play if not I could avoid it now. I've a main. They retook men. It's clear now
What there's something way to do to
This is gonna be a hard hole to liquid man very hold her heart old
Never mind me on here
Oh my god, this judge. Oh my god, this judge shot
It's weird. It's actually weird. Oh the college good trade very good
But what a flash again
This guy's too good started it's quite the recovery dude. I thought that's sky flashing on her murder them again
Only one guy got blind somehow Wow, the round would have ended right there from the
Kajdaas. He is nasty. He literally single-handedly saved that round.
five two but same in play
wow worked like a charm again
they're like fuck this default shit
and this shit bring it to the next top
fuck your default
I like it though man
Liquid looking strong on map one, half one, on the cup, after the break.
I like when a game plan is that obvious, that like even someone that doesn't have that much experience in Valorant can be like,
I see what they're trying to do.
You know? It's like, they're obviously trying to make it so Fnatic can't play the game at all, essentially.
They don't get to run their defaults, they don't get to do the calling, the mid rounds, nothing.
And that's where their strength is.
Obviously they're shooters as well, but you know what I mean?
Pretty good honestly. So far at least. Just I just don't know. I still don't know.
I still feel like Fnatic always just brings it back. Not counting them out.
Now let's see the attack side.
I mean, I just like that they are abusing how fanatic plays.
They're using how fanatic plays against them heavily.
Fanatic has consistently spread out.
Obviously there were like more people in mid once fanatic figured out liquid is playing
for mid every round.
Think about it. Liquid lost pistol and still managed to make it a 7-5 half.
Like that is a very successful half for Liquid. Right? They lost pistol.
Oh, they won pistol. Sorry, I'm tripping. They lost a 1. They lost pistol.
The Cax2V won. 7-5 half after losing pistol is pretty crazy.
That was as good as it gets.
They got zero rounds on this attack versus fanatic.
So even though that was a good first off,
there still needs to be more in the tank.
But I said, I think they need some fast rounds
instead of placing their bag.
I do think they have them with ults,
but I do agree with you.
Without ults, it feels like the only time they run pops
or like random mid, like, well,
like not super thought out simple strats
that are just like pops.
They'll only run those on Echos
and never on their gun rounds.
The most fanatic we'll do that's like kind of scrimmy or puggy
is three guys fake something real quick
and two guys walk up mid
which every team does not. Everyone, every team has that strap.
Mikey, thank you for the primes.
Thank you, and is ZoGy, thank you for the primes.
I didn't see okay, I'm sorry.
And although boasters getting suspicious he will be the only one on that side of the map
But five players come bursting through the gates. I
Does fanatic read this be hit then grab the info nope
That's a free bomb site hoping to try and pick as she's going through hold on to some of the space
So that I'll be a bigger issue if they lose full control of everything. It's gonna be tough
Oh what a play he got wall he walled it get himself one for free. That's he jumped up
He was on the wall the whole time
in a post-bond and in the meantime they're more bozerous they've taken full control of
the sport and even trying to back him up and they're quite prepared the mini
boot to be cleared out so much that they know these as a flank or at least one is
my shots from crashes but one kill by two still two more to go mini boo up top
will swing wide and the bandit closes this round liquid eight to five with a
pistol already under the belt of fanatic again you know if this was the
The second pistol for Liquid you go with that kind of explains the score line, but they've
looked better when it comes to rifle rounds.
This is very worrying.
I don't have any moments.
I do feel like it's almost going to get to a point where...
He was waiting for his team to get there.
Boaster didn't think that they knew where he was, or that they would hard clear him.
Like he just runs around and fries people while they're trying to just set up pippings.
I think I've ever seen play this game
5B
well
let's just say
Fnatic have got the read wrong here
yeah I'm lucky
everyone on liquids outside A
so unless they do a fake
and run all the way back which they're not doing
I think this is just going to be
five players trying to die to the spike
yeah there is a pretty good chance
at least an orb found for crashes
four away from the under-sphere
from the hunter's fury now but for liquid liquid is playing fucking well man already got the one
pistol in the form of the bandit and play so for fanatic to actually do damage to the name two
picks playing back in with these classics that's not going to be very easy alphas at least got
the bandit they'll go first and he will go indeed straight out of the round the boss
I don't want to get anything out of this one.
That's just good, the calm of that.
He completely ignores kayak diving over the top
because he knows that I'm ready.
Oh, decent damage.
This should have been a nice clean one.
This should have been very easy.
I was also going to get two in spawn.
What just happened?
Yeah, that was a couple of SMGs gone.
Okay, it's not the end of the world,
but one rifle goes with it.
Well played.
That is as good as that ever could have gone
Surely like we're surely if you don't get bonus here
Surely this is where the comeback starts
How
Yeah, right. I don't know how he did that super positioning a pop that's a pop
I believe
Figure that one out pick his brain nine to five brown 15 C's liquid pick up the huge
Okay, thank God he got one
As they go running through that choke point
Beautiful slow
Good as the guests. They're fucked. They're fucked. I healed. Yeah, there's the hill at least
He's also got some coming in from Scott's round over it's a good date set up in back call as well
This round over good job. I fanatics has stopped up
Well
Yeah
That's right. Fanatic was ready for it. Kayak spammed him and then Boaster getting that crucial kill and I think it was Wailin.
Neon, I don't know who it was. Whoever he killed. Boaster dies there, they have all the backhaul and Kayak is stuck by himself.
He did have Alster rotating in though. This kill here on Neon.
now yesterday joemates was actually being really annoying towards boaster side
they were always just walking in like mini was walking in and just killing
boaster that happened multiple times on this map so if liquid watch that they
might consistently abuse that as well. Wow, he's alive.
the
This boaster being complete like backhauled by himself.
Sometimes you're going to see duelists play that angle or you're going to see omens play
that angle because they're able to TP away.
The fact that it's an Astra is a big problem because if there is a slide or a whelay dash
here, there's not much he can do to get out.
He needs someone with him, or he just ends up dying.
Maybe he won and done.
So it has less to do with Boaster.
He didn't really have a teammate next to him though.
He was...
I'm saying...
Look, just watch.
watch. Yeah, he had a teammate right there, right? But I'm saying, usually Kayak would
be behind that smoke. So if they pop that smoke and Kayak is it instantly ready? Bouser
is fucked, no matter what. There, I agree, Kayak should have killed Traded at least.
But in general, Kayak wouldn't be with him there all the time. In which case, Bouser
would get run down. Now, if he was omen, he can TP.
Oh chance there for Wayne
Here we go again
He barely got out barely
Wow, they are rushing
This is gorgeous from liquid bro
how important it is to crush fanatics economy and to find themselves that 11th
jump spot flash bang
this is this is beautiful man when do they move out for a day when do they put
it there because it is W gaming works for kickoff what's up mr. Fallon how are
The flash is on top of the double heal, but also just consistently being able to get the
entry helps.
I'm telling you, this backhaul is a big problem for this team right now, fanatic.
You know if they just put one like if alpha put thorns backhaul and played a instead
I know that would change a lot for fanatic, but they could swap sites and alpha could just play
You're mind game. I want to see the answer one. I think that's because realistically if it goes wrong, you know
Are these people that are complaining about ads really wanting to just stare at this screen?
It's a fucking 10 second ad
It's hilarious, but well we now get to see where the mind games have landed
Seems like they've not changed much at all. They they have left out fear over on that visa
The problem is and this is the one fact that we didn't consider still is that this is an eco round 30 seconds
Oh shit, so actually doesn't matter that much. Sorry about that
You gotta still have ideas when you come into them, but running ads liquid likely to hit that 12
Whatever was discussed better be an airtight strategy. They've just thrown the dog in to be early
And then not actually send anyone there. It's just I think again, they're playing passive early
Like these little ideas at the stage wall too. They've obviously put a lot of thought into it. I like that trying to trap us somewhere
My favorite thing is liquid deep plan is so evident. It's just so obvious what they're trying to do with fnatic
Or two fans like to see liquid do here is break that wall
It is get some of that information out of alpha's hands
if you want to drag the rotate and you can see they're clearly expecting some sort of a reaction
This is like back and forth. They should go back and forth
They're actually just going in five up top
Has been put in towards a main but instead fanatic
How does kayak die like that?
here's the bookie the chance and opportunity perhaps with oh my god it
just ignored because this agent is stupid last man standing in well his
name's already in the history books this one would underline it 12 to wow liquid
liquid six chances try them out of map that hell I'm something out of fans might
Not attuned in they would just assumed I'll watch map to we're gonna win the first with ease well
The shoes on the other foot here tomorrow and then a lot of the time you're gonna go into those first vetoes and go for your strike
I do think there's some I got spammed
The one that seals it which of course would be a base which again is a very very good map
I love- I love seeing him happy though. Like, I don't- I don't really give a shit who wins here, but it is nice seeing him happy and shit.
They did swap sides. Alpha's playing in.
No, they are actually rushing Boster on me.
They are actually only running them down.
They found him.
Alpha switched to A, they went B to Boster again.
Do they have a tracker on him?
Oh, dang.
And the hell or if he goes and gets a pick I suppose oh
Could be yours, and then that's just picks up an all bike plant finds a kill in mid
And you've already got the advantage. Oh, they've avoided and the healer air tag actually though
This is the first time they actually swapped off the time out. They swapsize. Did they really fucking read?
No, they're not that nice. There's no way they're like. Yeah, they're gonna swap sites
They were just planning on going be anyway
their map choice to stop them going 0-1 in this series that's a second.
Oh, let's try.
Oh, I'm not going to lie. If I'm AlphaEar, I'm very, very annoyed that I didn't even get to play the game that half.
They hit his site back exactly zero times.
We go down to the stage where we've got ourselves a little halftime check-in with Purple.
Congratulations Purple for this first map.
We saw a very aggressive come from you guys on the on-carot and you cooked with that sky.
So I was wondering, you know, is the secret to beating Fnatic just running at them and throwing flashes?
And is that you climb from up to as well?
Run it down and ending up winning. Congratulations and good luck from up to.
Thank you so much.
Let's see if Flatic can bounce back on up to after a short break.
I was watching the game yesterday, and every time they struggle, I see the poster face nothing
fooling me.
I want to see today, even worse.
I want to see how we nothing ground them down, and this guy thinks why he plays Valorant.
I want to see his face so nothing he thinks that I don't even know why I started that.
Let him, I think, forget about five years he played the game, so he will remember that day, okay?
DAMN!
Yo! He targeted one guy!
Nah, that's personal.
He's literally targeting him!
They legit rushed him every round!
No, that's bully.
Now that's fucking that's a cool last speech though and then the edit to show boaster space
That's pretty cool too. Good job
Production well done
Damn
Wow
That's a set that gives you wings
Yeah, this actually would be funny just to get some reaction to that.
No but it is wild though.
That fanatic didn't realize.
I'm not saying it's an obvious thing, but it kind of is if you scrimmed that comp.
the Astra is vulnerable. Playing that aggressively, jumpspotting. Can't get out.
Yeah, I'll let you in.
Here we go.
I was watching the game yesterday and every time they struggle, I see the poster face
I want to see today even worse. I want to see how we nothing ground them down and this guy thinks why he plays ballerina
I want to see his face so I think he thinks that I don't even know why I started that
Bro he legit said I want him to rethink why he even plays the game
Bro, what kind of hatred does this guy have in his heart?
I want him to rethink all five last five years of his fucking life.
And I want him to think about it.
Why does he play this game?
This guy doesn't know.
I'm actually scared.
I'm actually scared for them.
No, Booster can't take this lying down.
What's next, Matt?
can not take this lying down right now.
Bind. Oh, oh my god.
This is actually Fanatic's home.
You beat them here, this series is done.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
This is why I wanted to watch Bind because I know
liquid and specifically NAPS is very good on this map.
This is the game decider this map right here. Oh my god, the perfect map literally the perfect map
Bentley David front
Wait, I mean and like actually see the stats
Wow.
Another change in your comp in this war bracket, how do you decide when it's the right time
to take this risk and whether they'll pay off?
I mean, you take these risks when you know they have a better crew than us, so you
have to cook something that we thought it would be more towards our strengths.
I think it worked out sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't when it does
Yeah, we are a genius when you when it doesn't sometimes good sometimes shit today. I think we are a genius
All right some wise words from lohan there sometimes may be good sometimes
maybe 60% of the time right it works every time it works this time and this is when it matters because then this lower bracket
but before we even break down this map this composition how everything went that not speech felt
personal cougar is the ultimate villain because we've been talking about his features and and what not and we've
Let's watch it again.
Everyone ready?
Excuse me.
Here we go.
And this guy thinks why she plays Valorant. I want to see his face, so I think he thinks that I don't even know why I started that.
Let him, I think, forget about five years he played the game. So he will remember that day, okay?
Damn!
A way that really addresses what's been a fanatic strength or kind of trademark.
I started with the wall over the top here
Activity on the defense, which was obviously
That ethos. Yeah, baby. I gifted. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
I think we're at 9k subs now. Shout we fucking did it and how you're going to work around it and most of the things the team
Thanks. Thank you so much. All of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate everyone
into fanatics head and Mike this was something that sometimes it works sometimes we saw we saw one where like
Thank you
Thank you
I'm glad you guys are enjoying them. I'm having a blast.
Mid blue, thank you for the prize.
are you making more you are making from streaming more than pro-play salary right I need to know
yes I'm making a lot more from
Yeah, we were just running it down like you're just piling on them and kicking them while they're down
But also we asked the coaches Loki the exact same question in regard to the mood that fanatic after yesterday's best of five
So let's see what he had to say
Mr. Fallen looking for juice
Yeah, I mean look at this guy how much so much money would make it way sucks tell me exact number definitely
No, we definitely can't be given out those figures putting and shifting the mentality quickly and trying at least
You know to bring good energy for today. I think we've done a good job
They came out of the gates swinging and I obviously catch us off guard a little bit with that
But I don't think it's that concerning. I'm not really that word. No thing the boys. Yeah, I do obviously though shot
All right. Good words coming through. Yes.
They were streaming.
I was nothing to worry about too much.
So with streaming, especially if you do it on multiple, multiple platforms
and are successful, oh, him, help me.
Thank you for the time gifted.
Thank you so much. Thanks.
You guys have been gifting a lot recently.
And this is OK.
Just thank you.
Chronicles, thank you to five gifts.
The more I talk about it, the more it keeps people keep subbing.
So I don't want it to look like, you know.
And I'm trying to play some mind games here.
I already got 9K subs, guys.
I'm very happy.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Um.
What was I saying?
Oh, yeah.
So if you are a successful streamer in Twitch, multiple platforms,
I say Twitch and YouTube, right?
Like my YouTube is nowhere near what my Twitch is, for example.
If you are like doing YouTube shorts, posting YouTube videos,
doing streaming on Twitch, streaming on YouTube.
Ad money is like piles up.
Ad money is how most content creators make their money.
So that is just way more than any salary player can make,
unless you're like ass bass, maybe or something.
That's just by default more.
If you like
Thanks for an honest answer always man, I've never lied to you guys
That's probably another bigger I told you guys though, I like for example when Sam retired like of course
People are like asking him like what would you want to take for you to come back and he's like 80k
in like this whole motherfucker that's actually that's approaching this is like oh yeah it's
just another walk in the park we've been here in this lower bracket for this entire time
fanatics not gonna lock us out either fanatic never went to an international through kickoff why
would this time be any different but i feel like from the fanatic side of things they're
i'm just saying what do you want to see what do you want to see
well the biggest thing for me again is is designing some compositions that allow for
for them to be proactive and really take the parts of that we again we saw it
themselves like let's get in there let's get in there 80k a month this is like
well it's pretty good 80k a month usd it's pretty fucking good
no when we were like joking about like oh yeah sam what would it take for you
to come back like what's salary you know from like say san wants to pick you
up how much would you ask for me he's joking he's just saying 80k a month
but realistically that's exactly what he would be worth at that point or
else it's not worth for him to lose all that money from what he would be
be making streaming, you know, like, that's the point.
To them, leaving space, I put on the map for that.
It was so that kid also streams like 12 to 18 hours a day.
Sometimes like daily coming up with the actors in the mid round.
We saw a lot of player reaction yesterday where they were just
that shrugging their shoulders.
Streamers that make that much money, like 80 K a month.
You know, lose that engagement.
It's like, it's like, you have to either have absurd viewership
When you do stream or you have to stream really long hours or both
The way that it's supposed to be done
Why is it not working against the sink and to just walk on to us is one piece of utility enough to disrupt an entire attack
Do we need more utility? Do we need a change in comp? Do we need another brimstone? I mean that's no viper so nothing too crazy
Sorry Mike. Yeah, I know you really did it. We had the right to dream
Until we until we get into a few rounds
I also want to highlight the fact that if we saw it especially towards the end of the map that we just witnessed
Woodward wasn't something else, like if he's going to be pop washing out of smokes
He's going to be having that confidence on top of having that
How much could one make if they both stream and stay pro?
Well, you can't do both, that's the thing
It's a weird question because you have to practice and all those things
But realistically, if you were to full-time pro and stream
You'd be sleeping four hours a day every day
Building around me because I would assume you need eight hours of stream, right? And then you have like
Eight ish hours of practice and that's locked in again on the speeches. Don't know which one it is this time around whether it's personal
Oh, I know
Don't know thank you for the gifts in there
For me liquid has come out of the gate swinging and they look so I mean if you're streaming and competing you probably made
It depends on a player man. Some players make less some players make more
Ryan might think of a problem
Yes, get them all on their feet before now. We're all sitting in their razor chairs and ready to load
Means we're gonna be tossing it over to our casters
Anything about buying cool win fanatic or liquid came in for I truly do not know, but I feel like this decides it right here
Whoever wins because this is I feel like both teams best maps
Like liquid map, I don't know how good with the map is, this is a really good map for them though.
And it's a very good map for a fanatic as well.
Have you ever met Nass?
And they did it on the defense just yesterday
Constantly pushing the bounds as said there was moments where miniboo was in the opponent's spawn killing them
So they need to stop this guy early. They need to remove confidence otherwise. Yeah, I think they're getting three zero
I could see pal in the face making pal in the crowd making faces while you were going through that face joint face
Okay spotted do they just insta go in here? Oh my god. That's one of the few times I've seen the couch die here
I know what you guys don't want to talk about, he dominates this angle.
Well first blood onto that cash, you know what Mike?
You wanted to see him on his feet, I don't think he'll be standing up.
I was gonna say he was doing that to Chronicle, why would he be doing that to anyone else?
Happy to run it down, happy to put the pressure on and to the attack side.
We've always known that fanatics like to feel out the map, they like to go looking,
they like to find information, but you're gonna have to almost switch your style up a little bit
Just a little bit just to stop those early kills going the way of the defense for now at least
Crashes are trying to sell the idea that this is an a-hit, but the other players
I'm not looking like they're going that way
This is quite a clear late play to be
Many booth standing by with the sheriff's remember they don't have to commit to these fights already
This purple and mini-boop play on in a 5v4 advantage here
Back into the retake fight out of a smoke take that from side control
close then
in the open here already know he's
gonna be able to swallow but this is
what it's all about waiting for that
flash you're going down into a bit
more wow what an exec here from
fanatic and took purple down and puts
fanatic into the lead
offer it's a messy
oh he nuts
wow
well played well played fanatic good
recovery
bolster is not taking this shit lying
down bruh. Really good exec, really good utile, and then good post-clamp to play together
They're an elbow.
Maybe he saw what Nats was talking about earlier, about putting the pressure on to him specifically and trying to show them.
Okay, you got the first map.
Doesn't really mean too much. They know they're gonna push, of course they know they're gonna push.
Just pounding that smoke makes a lot of sense. That's just coming in.
Oh, I'll figure it just quick enough. That could have been deadly instead.
Oh, Kayak.
He's taking space on the other side of the map, but at this stage I feel like the remaining two are just going to look to go down to that spike.
Yeah, they have that bomb.
I thought he was going to TP out.
Play with the rest of the squad, I'm not thinking of risk, but...
There's no question about that.
He's sticking around, yeah.
Even giving that over to your opponent.
So I'm going to be the end of the world, maybe Alph will be a bit angry, but...
The rest of the crew can still take that body shot.
This is the start that we wanted to see for Fanatic after a devastating loss on the previous map.
You need something to get you on the horse early and at least fine in the pistol
I'm in a relatively clean second round as well
And even farming up quite a lot of orbs
You can see Alphas now the one with the Marshall hunting down towards this a sight
He is too away from a showstopper and in the next round that could help out a bunch
TP take a belt those players
Oh be hunted down Alphas a chance
He could end up with one and in fact both kills at 3k here
That's when I go back to him
He's all got a DB got a rifle on the run out so a huge round in the end for him and fanatic
They come into the next round rifles and a showstopper. Yeah, that could have gone really badly like they drop the
Fandal on the floor. I think it's crash. He's the fell. Yeah, but the fact that
What is it? I'm more curious about what liquid does to stop this fanatic attack could have gone from the scenario
They were in
This man as well
They're both due with their short end.
It was just on an absolute tear flying across your screen at a million miles an hour.
I think they're going to need him here today with how his opponents have been playing.
And one of the things Liquid did very well on the last map, especially on the attack,
was they avoided him completely.
They just went away from the final boss of EMEA, went and did side quests, which
included winning rounds.
Committed to 2B here.
There.
I guess they have a decent amount of delay here.
Here we go.
Timing for Shorda.
Oh my god, B-Slip again.
I mean, Dinax still have plenty of time and they haven't gotten along. I don't like this for Liquid, man.
I don't like this for Liquid at all.
What the fuck?
Truly on the show stuff are still not burned from fanatic. They've got that as a safety net
To be coming easily into their favorite team liquid, they're gonna concede
Of damage let alone no pigs. Yeah, I think that's just good research
So you look at the last map he sees to clear under who go wow that is unlucky for him
Fnatic could have done their research. Honestly insane sees though on the day. They didn't know what they were I don't okay
I've said a million times we if people have watched me
Like if you've been in my chat, you've heard me say this a million times you either play for hookah or you play for long
If you try to play for both
You're gonna lose
So the fact that they ended up in these positions in the mid-round means liquid did something horribly wrong
days but it's already looking for that a cat who got and long control for the
pistol from sea boasters down in his feet get a little bit loud it's so
important to have a lot of the seas yeah
it's too far back actually
that bottle doesn't look awesome in the air and who knows
look a boy
look a boy
alright but now it's so important to see him bringing that energy up on the
team
How how low you feel after a 13-6? You know, this is your last chance as well
You'll be watching Santiago from home and the energy's looking better. Okay, come on
But in this round the opening pick goes to liquid
That's been the thing for
The cash is gonna re lurk up. Oh my god. He's gonna die. I can't let you the year came with a trophy
But in 2024 and 2025 they did watch from home until
coming back to stage one that's nice wow w set up they have to go ahead they just
have to go ahead or fake giving me fake a tap bomb while one guy walks through
hookah here except this guy's never gonna leave hookah's play it could be fairly
one-dimensional within stat holding on to hookah question is is there gonna be
any sort of recovery a little bit risky but Molly info found nonetheless
45 on the clock when push comes to shove a shame to lose that show stopper in the opening
Oh my god
Oh, honestly good kills like an addict though
They need to win two in a row though. Real life is big
That is such a big entry though on Alpha
It just triple held that wrong there
how quiet it may be, a neutral firing squad in the reaction. Coming out from camera.
That is the trouble with this composition. It is, if you fall into, okay, we lost a couple
of rounds and play a little bit more scared, you lose. You don't have the ability to do that,
so the fact that liquids still are fighting their opponents aggressively, still taking
that space. Now what? Way to lay me on who cut this time.
Of course, with Fanatic, they've still got plenty of credits to play within this one.
kind of like the game plan though again it's so evident in the mid-round they
always double push together with just max util and try to kill a lurker
what a shot
that's big for Natsumon
now what they have to do
But those players hindered back is not reacting quickly
That is also just huge kill
Pushing pushing bro already so far
Fanatic is not getting to play Valorant looks like it's dead in the water and the one time they allowed them to play
Val those pieces the one that it was destroyed them
The first goes their way, but now that's the end of it
3k for Nats, the second round for Team Liquid, and they're climbing back already.
I thought with the way I forgot that opening pick that this round was going to be a different beast, but...
I love these traps, dude.
The immediate aggression out from Kamalasuo to get them space, and then Nats...
This kill, though. This kill sealed it right there.
If Kayak is able to get that kill on Perpo, Liquid lose all info, and they were able to...
They have to rotate back and forth.
I
Think he's referencing that that one B1 he had versus boaster where boaster picks him at the end
If he is that's the thing that's the problem when he's talking about that's the reference
Rollin back to years my goodness. There's a show. So finally put
Nice day under a nice old nice old nice old made a big miss kayak big place show stop a fine big play
Andy says alive
Two? They might see P here. They might see P here.
Oh, they already planted. What the fuck holy shit so much is happening.
Oh, Steve.
The shit paces like it shows great old fucking great old and then great play by kayak and then that does this to bring them back
And around it should have been cleaner for them. It's honestly coming down to one be one way poster has to take
No, this time we have to meet it
42 and that is quite a damning round for liquid the economy on the brink in
Aggressive again
He jumps away from one guy and just runs into that's wait. Oh my god
Oh my god, he's gone now. He's waiting biting his time
Let's come over. Oh my god. It's a little bit dangerous, especially for him. Okay, wrap back didn't really amount too much
This gets spotted that could be the spike down
But the space is good. They've managed to slip two players back at this point
You know all the info is still 3D even though he's here
They think they've got a good grasp on this situation
But I mean the gate crash from kayak might be the only thing that hints at this play going back in the other direction
If it's even taken it I think I'm not supposed to hear it
I look like that's for a second might go back instead. They've just left it on to mini blue bear in mind
He has nothing. I think he used his ult maybe at the beginning of the round
But that's that's it. He's just sad just by himself the only thing he'll bring his team is information
But how are they even gonna get there in time they can't take the TP
That's really big info though 30 seconds left
His goal is to just to show them
Just use the study
Are they trying to TP?
I feel like Liquid know they're gonna try to TP here
Fanatic leaving things desperately low
They know, I think they know
They're just trying to delay for Camo
They're trying to give him space
If he could drop the spike
This round is basically over
He's gonna try and make that move
Already getting it on the flag
The spike's just about to go down
Huge kill, Camo
It matters anymore that cash has the clock was the whole squad. It is the conflict to take it down liquid
Surrounded them and at many points it looked like fanatic. We're gonna find the space
Actually, they don't call and we know this is in their wheelhouse whether it was mini
Do whether it was I don't know guys whether it's nice wrapping up and I think could lose
This is not a map that you could give is that much space? I like the idea of playing it slow
But that a little bit of extra delay the read from liquid
I'm also surprised that Liquid had used it like 40 seconds.
They don't want to stay fighting towards B long.
Fnatic has the lead, but it feels like Liquid are winning.
Yeah, the only round that Fnatic dominated them, other than obviously Pistol,
was the Hooker long round, the C's round.
It's because Liquid was the only round Liquid just kind of sat back and let him do whatever.
They put short that round if I remember correctly.
They kept 2B the entire round, but the B guys didn't play it correctly.
The rifle in hand needed to win the fight but actually Kaia gets and now could pick up that rifle for his own
They do many boom have themselves a vipers if they can find space to use it, but look away the defective
Seekers come on the vacations while they know that there's a player. Oh my god
I'm retouching this but soon they may just flee completely that wall can go up and they can take the TP already
So many players here from team liquid
Fnatic! They hold the ground! They stand the line and fall together and stand 4 to 4 now!
Team Liquid have caught up!
Yeah, getting more and more success.
You try and go Pacy versus them, it seems like they're ready.
I don't know if they're pushing me or not, but you've been pushing me so hard.
That's what I'm saying, I appreciate it, thank you.
Who you got, energy or MIBR?
I am, it doesn't take me too long.
Oh, energy, three ones.
I got a little bit further than maybe we would have done, but for Miniboo, this has just been a farming round.
Nice!
Got over halfway back towards this all already.
This is where I feel like...
I figured they would pause.
This is where I feel like if you are fanatic and you are fanatics coach, right?
You need pops, like walk-up short.
Pressure hookah, two or three guys walk-up short.
Take showers control, insta-leave it, go five long B, throw two smokes in B, and go five
up long through Octagon.
Those kinds of strats, right?
Those are very simple ranked type strats, but you have to be able to throw them in during
games or else you become too predictable.
You only have this one playstyle, and Liquid knows about it, you can't really outplay
liquid anymore if you can't do those things fresh in our memory it the vibe
here it feels like it's slipping round by round with four out of the last five
rounds going to team liquid now's the time for Fnatic to come up with answers
yeah it's a good time to do that's 94 all but the strike available because does
have Viper all fall there as well but their opponents are going it's a
prouler
I'm proud of it. They're just going to flash straight through the smoke. Again, they're wrapping around the spawn, but there has to be a reaction from Fnatic. They're immediately going to start putting that pressure.
Well, they were putting that pressure on.
See, Fnatic is overthinking a little bit right now. Fnatic's like, yeah, they want us to go B. That's why they did that.
But so they didn't react B fast enough. And now these guys are B. Ready? And these flankers are even closer than they would have been.
to do every single time that snake bites enough to slow them and by time is all they need to do flank is
getting so close to coming to completion and now there it is off the orbital strike and
huge kill kayak. Huge! Now the flank strikes the spike is stuck in this corner they might
have to site but they need to get it. Oh vikage massive trade though. With an opportunity
Hello HP Kayak on the site. The pieces can still be picked back up for Liquid to continue this dominant
Kayak!
Four out of five rounds, but Kayak!
Dang!
Clutch-ass round from Kayak.
I still feel like it was misplayed by Fnatic. They did not react to B fast enough.
They overthought it and thought, okay yeah, Liquid is just going to instantly over-rotate
to B.
And they're going to have to leave there already.
And that wasn't the case at all.
This is him fighting versus all the opponents while his teammates are just stuck in a corner
and he gets too open and thankfully they traded while here.
This is out at the end.
This is the star power that we needed to see from fanatic emirons like this and it
will allow them a response.
Liquid loki in their heads, I'm not gonna lie.
Still the full buy up for team Liquid one away from Camel having ultimate same
for Nibbu.
How dangerous that's being cannot be overstated team liquid pushdown mid again this time more tempered
It's a lot of info giving the information away
She's is about to give it, but he found the info
Perhaps that was perfect still shops from the side are making this awkward until the cash goes down now the players
I have to worry about their flank and so now Wayne just to be equal at two versus two
It looks like Nats is going to come around to meet Purple. They'll both play this from the flank.
That's dependent on what Finale do here. They are baiting the flank. They are worried of almost
every single angle, but maybe number one Alfea is watching. That was the main fight. Now Nats
coming in on the flank and they're still just baiting. They're still trying to make him go for this.
Ah, he's talking sick for sure.
Surprise us, we have time to spare.
Six to four, a three-zero start.
It looked like it was all going to slip away, but forgot it.
They found their rhythm again, singing from the same hymn sheet,
and they have put the pressure on to Team Liquid.
A six to four score line, and a time out from Liquid.
They're first in this half.
And really the first time in a series
Yeah, Camel is no joke, man.
Did he hit Alpha?
Who's this item?
And then even if the game was closed, that's okay.
Then they started to run away with it.
Why are your coaches gonna be called in a pause?
But now you're on your choice.
You are getting these aggressive fights.
You're getting into positions
where you can take over these rounds.
But Fnatic and the mid rounds are able to recover.
Good pause there though.
And they always tell it like,
it has been a lot of recovery.
It's like, someone like Kayak.
So do you notice how when Fnatic did it to be,
tried to do an A-split or they did do an A-split.
But the A-split, they only fought one side of the split.
And that's how you're supposed to play right you fight with fight one side one side or the other side
You can't fight both you either fight one or the other or you play retake or flood
That's it. You're stuck in the back of the bomb. So that you're fucked similar to be
He can change. So that was actually really good from liquid as well. They just lost again
They lost out on the trades that might be coming behind
We haven't seen it yet. Also really good my kayak to like just run it down short there
Take that angle
Still waiting, Narek is not instant reacting A
Even though there are some missing pieces for like they didn't insta react a so and let's liquid go back into a regular set up
Yeah, that's that's the problem that all doesn't last that long if you don't kill anyone
So it's faded because they sat so far back one of the main pieces is gone
I'm a little bit nervous
Seeing that open to strike online because there's been so many set plays involving the slows and with stuff bad
I'm not trying to make it seem like it's bad
It's just when liquid just gets the stabilize into a regular set up again
something we've already seen and with fanatic playing so it's I don't think it's
worth giving that like giving them the regular setup if you don't have to just
so you can run whatever strap you want to run perfectly the problem is they
kind of been faked out and that's gonna make it a lot harder than to do his
job two players spotters wall towards this B site all the info there for
fanatic 3d this 3d this and the next round this could be a dominant close
to the half team liquid trying oh my god the thin out that herd but only the
One to be found in the trades. Oh my god, not a good bus
To be done, but sit and watch as six turns into seven
Really
It is a lot harder to avoid out here
He is 14 and 7 right now and it's just been ripping heads all the way to the couch
I don't mind the idea of having those reactive ultimates, but with the dimensional drift online,
I think Kaiak was able to get them so much information that they were like,
okay, at some point we are going to see Wayne pop this ult, so we just have to be aware that we need an angle to play around,
and that's exactly what they did.
Well, one last to play for, and you see what I was talking about.
Viper's pit, nightfall, and showstopper all available for Fnatic off the gate.
Info gate and post plant. It's pretty good.
you've got a whole round in front of you and for team liquid the expectation clearly
in fanatics camp is that there's going to be some aggression but one ult that they have certainly
lends itself to the convergence path on camo for a 1b that's killed by himself liquid make the first
mistake and they know that if it comes to crunch time there won't be a person this round
they're all waiting for a push provided alpha stays alive he's the guy that's gotta get them in
Oh
They're running into a stack
Raise all feed all
rolls
They're gonna be now the man on the other side. There's holding a with multiple players to get the push
I think this might be easier said than done. It's not be beautiful. I got TP though 40 seconds left
No, one is even close to rota hundred percent the short guys to do the T.T.
Knaps about as it could have gone myper on Viper that cash takes him down that leads aside open
T.T. is a little late Austin's a new guy jumping out
This is where that fast flying through the T.P. needs to come in and the showstopper is gonna buy the bugs
They're delighted by Alfa get the bomb down Viper ults up
Damage on the camo down here goes the convergence
This round this round should be over
I like this one
Wow imagine though the cats is there to greet him a lead present sent his way Wayne
Needed for liquid needed from Camel and purple as the time ticks another
One!
Karma, they said.
Not about half. Again, they lost pistol.
You know this face is very very well because yesterday they were fighting for their lives on the VCT MEA stage
Thank you for joining me mini staxo and be as they as I heard that you have no more voice after the casting yesterday
Why starts are doing the eyebrows like the fuck boy eyebrows, so you know what happened yesterday?
It was you know an amazing comebacks against now
No, I'm talking about with a lot of stamina a lot of experience looking back at it like how did you do this magic basically?
Good question. I think until
I'm sorry, I think until now I still don't know how he did it, you know, reverse sweeping
like team like Fnatic, I think it's a huge rollercoaster of emotions, we're really proud
of that, you know, I think you can hear in my voice, we still didn't get through it,
you know, two hours of sleep, so.
Did you manage to get some sleep?
Yeah, two hours.
Ah, two hours, two hours and then straight to the arena to watch party.
Speaking about watch party, Minya, I wanted to ask you, you know, how is it to be
in the arena with no pressure, no anti-strap to prepare, the job is done basically to qualify
for Masters in Thiago, so do you enjoy resting from the kickoff marathon, just watching the others
play at 5 for their lives? Yeah, I mean it feels very refreshing being here, being able to watch
friends like Reca, she don't play, it's amazing and I'm just happy to be here, happy to enjoy
our watch party with Bayaz, talk to the Gentlemates community and just enjoy, it's amazing to
be here and I'm happy I need to play for some time now. Of course, of course, real quick,
Liquid or Fnatic for these finals?
Fnatic.
Yeah, they had a long night last night.
They had a long fucking drinking night.
Guaranteed.
Guaranteed they got fucked up.
This is pretty unanimous that we got there for Fnatic.
We'll see.
Not much going for Team Liquid.
So, that's because they're trailing by two,
but after that first map,
I'm pretty afraid of what their attack side can do.
They look so...
The last round especially man.
Fighting back their crash, he's fighting his first knife kill in BCT and then...
This happens to him.
It's madness. Like what we've just witnessed and that's what Liquid have kind of been doing throughout.
They pulled off these absurd rounds to get them back into the game.
Now you have...
Wobble stated pregnant.
You're going into that attack side that was so dominant.
I saw that.
I don't want to mention it, but I was like wait. What is this thing on my screen right now?
Pretty good for new players though
Nats can they find Nats they know he's around here somewhere
They know they're still looking for Nats though. I know they're gonna keep turning around. Kai's gonna keep turning
There's no way he doesn't turn
This guy is such a nerd, bro!
He knows the opponent knows his timing, so he changes it by like 5 seconds.
You feel like this is now the perfect way to activate Nats.
Like you have this super fast-paced aggro into the site,
panic stations, everyone rotate, position.
Nats is like, oh, he's always been that extra layer that's so hard to play against.
But in this sort of setup, in this sort of meta,
it's perfect to just have him in that backline.
And that's something that you could even see.
But I think we're looking like Alpha yet didn't just walk with his back turn.
He was looking for where Nats is, but that has always been an issue,
especially on this map is there's no way you'll be somewhere this is clean well
it should be clean follow up that is
Roberto classics and the question for liquid it's nice to see teams not just
get permate go down as well so still stand pretty good chance I saw yesterday a
lot without this with gentle mates fanatic then I saw it plenty with
paper X very nice to just see things take it like you know the normal
Of course.
Take it out of his favor.
Moser and Alpha.
The last two.
Oh, he got decisions here.
Do you care about...
Oh, goodness.
Do you care about giving the mobs?
Do you value finding some for yourself more and it looks like...
What?
What?
What just happened there, bro?
All right, it's up for all of us.
No mistakes made by Liquid and even Nets.
Scratching his head a little bit.
All right, he's getting some style points.
All right, let's go.
Scratching his head a little bit. Hi, he's getting some style points
Seven seven that's what she got an attack side for me putting liquid back into favor and
It's where we need to see that response once more. I didn't even start raytrushing them back
I'm fanatic. They will come in with the rifles. They will come in with
Everything they need but their opponents also have rifles mostly
And I'll be honest the SMG for miniboo not that much of a detriment with how fast he's moving
Rims ready to rotate though
Oh sir, you need to kill
Yo, that's chill, bro
Okay, no bonus again, no bonus, they're chillin now
No bonus, and they have to be alive
This is so big from Booster, again if he dies there, even if he gets traded there it's a problem
back onto the ball but that was such a big run for them, they didn't seem to hamper miniboo
too much but, now he's got himself a phantom, rushing again, hookah rushing to a faster
hit, with a neon rushing into the showers, everyone here, everyone's not here, what
Blast.
Nevermind.
Wayne!
Yo, this game is a shit show.
Again, Boaster, what a kill man.
Austin's late.
Oh, they do have you all, so it doesn't really matter too much.
Austin, Boaster, don't get caught up.
He's got one before he died though.
Huge.
Huge ball, man.
Well played.
Both players having a house.
Matt's impact both gun rounds.
He's so stanky to the prime, Syndicate's thinking the prime.
Such big kills, man.
That is Rimmel.
Fast Pots didn't work.
Does Liquid have it in them to default?
What do they just stick to the game plan and just keep running it down?
They'll win one of these rounds.
You start going to be a hero versus this liquid squad and hey, maybe Wayne wins a 1v3
What is on 5 health?
They don't have the tools.
I agree.
They don't have like all the utile in the world to be able to default correctly, which
is why I like this playstyle from them.
What they're called.
The thing is, Fanatic seems to put Camo into position to figure it out.
I mean, a lot of it is just Booster getting really big impact kills though.
They and they should just stick to that game plan honestly one of these rounds surely you can't keep doing it
People have pulled four players
Now they realize it's fake for sure. It's been taken too long
Info in the flashes as well, but often used individually here's alpha second kill
Oh my god, he dodged it
Dodge that hinder, then camo's gonna have a much tougher time taking him down
You would think, nice were so nice
The couch good trip
With the couch keeping the numbers in alpha, then he's gonna use it all for those two
Andy Dington
For a round like this, Liquid would have got to be happy to already get a big ult out of the way
Most of Wayne has got quite far
Like the rest of the players are refreshingly
Falling back off this, and he's just walked into that
It's a good thing for the space he's taken. It's a bad thing because he has a spike.
Oh god.
So if he doesn't get two kills here, they drop the spike.
What a shot!
That was a low HP bar. I thought the joy would at least come out with one, but now this becomes impossible because it would lower weapons, so the expectations would be difficult anyway.
Nice play.
We're alive as well.
I think they keep running it down though. I really do.
They, I think they're coming on a, coming on a couple of ults now.
play. The guest talked about it. You come into that matchup and you only get to prepare
for what's coming your way. Remember Liquid didn't just sit back and have set ups. They
were getting aggressive. The only time that Fnatic had to counter that was in the loading
screen. Waleigh went away from Viper, went away from Brun. What have you ever got?
We saw their game challenged from the very second. This is a must win round for
Liquid must win. At least they don't have to deal with a knock though.
Full B default.
What a kill.
might have dealt a headshot he's received or his team as you've received one
trying to swing from mid does have his ultimate online the problem is is I'm
fanatic of had those disabundance alone 3b they're gonna try to read we can
definitely gonna try to retake long here like the setup though playing
contact with the cash just slides on it just too quick child's agent now that
Cinkilla this is just get slid on fuck your trap
TP taken but it's the seekers here that make this a very tough time
The rotates are fast though. The rotates are really fast. Liquid can lose this
We're in a bit of trouble
Oh, off the air
He looks fucked real and spinning around the site
I'm not sure where the danger was coming from and the trick was it was from all over
Nathan man, thank you for the tier one man
And four alties coming in and next hi. Good morning. Happy round. Happy late Valentine's Day. Sorry we couldn't spend it together yesterday
Hey, no worries, but that means there's hope you had a good one there
Don't ever fucking do that again one place. That means Naxx is in the other just claiming that additional space
Why is he pushing me? Oh push me 10 to 8
first fire on the board for the
Running it down.
What?
Yo, what a way to bait Grace Altair, Ben.
Holy fuck, Alpha just got his ankle's legs everything broken.
I mean, Neon Alted too, so once for one.
So it goes complete loss.
For fanatic waiting outside this site all
You see smally containing the space
Strike until alpha goes up top down. I like that's natural. I'll find here
They've already found to both
Holy shit good double-slang this all oh my god, but in so late a danger lurking as they spotted him
New york is looking at push on
No way, Chubb.
Oh, great, no.
This is perfect!
Max is an actual animal.
Do you understand how much time he's delayed for?
By himself? That was essentially a 1v4.
He made everything so chaotic there for Fnatic.
I cannot believe Fnatic didn't pause here.
Dyson look at him
This is not snake eyes in the opposition. He's already found me opening. Oh my god for a bit more and all that
Never mind. It's gonna save my position. He was pushing down close
No difference no quarter given by team like
To put them neck and neck they were ten seven down at ten nine
He'd buy for all that it's who he for an unwinnable to be for
Most people would think it's a brain dead ult, but he did it to cross chaos, stayed alive,
spammed the diffuser, and delayed for his sky to come all the way around.
There's like 50 things in like 2 seconds.
They've been doing this all the way through their fight in that lower bracket
We mentioned it the conversation of last year where they fell into the lower bracket immediately and needed to win five games in a row
To make it to masters this year. They fell twice
They were given an additional lower bracket which almost seems unfair and then now on that road again
Four wins out of five the last would be defeating fanatic and again
Eliminating them from kickoff contention not going to the first masters and liquid obviously they made it to every
global event last year
They are getting more and more
Yeah, you're the best brother gonna do it again
You can do it all.
Such a big round here.
Such a big round here.
Another cap, good ult.
Wow, they just walk through. Casually. What a trade.
Good ult for both teams here.
Better for liquid for attack side.
Oh my god, I thought he was gonna stay there, man.
No, because it goes...
Actually father
I don't care if you know you can't do anything about it
This might be one of those things where it delays too long
Really
Never mind. Make sure you win this.
Oh my god, it was...
She got it! I thought she got it.
Bro, that's damn...
we're playing up against a stacked hand and not even a pixel didn't have enough
playing with a card less look at this kill even this kill right here that was
sent through followed the snake bite and then the orbital strike close oh
we know that a pixel away do you think as well if he's full house is that
enough because he was even a little bit off I'm not sure what help he was on
I think he's on 89 I don't know how many yeah I think he survives another
They try to address one time. It's this guy flash steal it
Later
Dodge and ass agents, look at this.
Stun, slide, later, fucking slow.
AIDS, AIDS, absolute AIDS video game.
I don't care, I'm going to kill him inside the game though.
This is a fucking performance, man.
No, I don't know what's going on.
What's going on is you've chosen a comp that is absolute dickass, working like a charm.
what he's going to do
these agents bro
and they're playing it perfect
okay, genetic
oh, don't tell me
say it in self
midi-boos, reflaking hookup
midi-boos, reflaking hookup
have control over spawn it's all right he's gonna play kukas well even though
bathroom you have to be scared this is gonna steal information out of the hands
of fanatic and with the deep position from camo here until a matter of
seconds ago very winnable right now from the sport they know that they'll be
wrapped bro he gets that connected the dots for his triple the numbers even
the time ticking and then that's Angle!
They need this and a follow-up!
They've got to pick up the pace all the way to the post-cuff!
You are gone!
And close with the ace!
Camel cleaning up puts them 13 to 10!
Two to zero and one map away from Santiago!
Wow, this guy is heavy!
Really liquid it's like that what a map to huh find
Your body knows a sense of victory again that's let's check here plus 19. Yeah casual
Step into your zone
Designed to win
We man women will focus up
This is unreal breath
They lost a 2v5 in the end
Do you think Fanatic is mentally boomed?
I don't too much experience I think, it's not about that.
It's how they're losing the rounds is very tilting though, I can't lie.
Like that 2v5 at the end.
Also just the way that Liquid is playing with this comp is extremely weird and hard
to deal with.
Kamo and Miniboo are making everything so chaotic in the bomb sites and Fanatic doesn't
like chaos.
They are fully like anti starting the play style of fanatic.
They just don't play like that.
It's very hard to deal with for anyone really, not just fanatic.
It's hard to deal with for anybody on attack side specifically.
I also feel like fanatic might slow like low key on it's on fanatics attack side.
felt like they were overthinking and not instantly reacting to something very obvious.
For example, they would clearly see a B trap, and usually a trap indicates there's an extra
number of players on that side of the map, but they wouldn't go to the other bomb site
instantly.
They just still waited, and it almost cost them a couple of times, but the trades went
in Fanatic's favor, thankfully.
So that makes me think in my head that it feels like Fanatic is overthinking.
a little bit, but they still had an okay attack side and the defense I mean
Again, it's just so much chaos in the bomb sites
Also, Nat's doing what he did at 1010 like come on man. That is just pure individual brilliance
That has nothing to do with strategy or anything. He legit played that
You can break down that one
Three second clip of him doing that
Into a 30 minute video on God you can just how many things he did there
So at 1010 Nats does that and then on the last round right there
Kamo 2v5s. I mean come on. That's just individual shit. There's nothing fanatic can really what can you do?
It doesn't matter. You can't do anything about that
official fanaticator said fanatic was gonna win this game you bum your back
It's now or never
It's now or never
You think I think I will chill against him? I can't chill nothing last time when I played on Fraction, not now.
Not on Fraction, sit down.
It's attack! Nice, nice!
How you guys lose that? What, what, but how?
Bro, they actually cannot shoot when we are in their faces.
I cannot hear shit, bro.
Let's go boys! Come on! Good job!
Come in! Come in!
Team Liquid is fired up 2-0 against Fnatic in this lower bracket.
Final. This is blind. It was their map big, but historically Fnatic looks so good on this big, but Liquid just had their number.
Yeah, Liquid continued to be flawless on this map throughout kickoff so far. They obviously knew coming into it that it was a strong map for them, so not to be worried.
not to be worried I really like in that reaction pack that Wayne is the only one
that's kind of like chillin like it was quite a team react pack but Wayne is just
like I can't hear anything well that's not what he said for pain or for air
purposes I was impressed the thing for me coming into that not necessarily an
agent composition switch but liquid continuing with this running it down
yeah I said that it was like yes it's simple as this because we're gonna lose
Coroad we just wanted to come in frag out for me this was just another example of gang in their faces
Applying pressure to finatic forcing them into making these scrambled mid-round decisions
What was actually fascinating is liquid started quite aggressive early on on this map Billy and then
Fanatic just had their number. They were able to liquid dance. That's my name. That's I'm the best
Liquid literally did not give up. They just kept going. There he is valid FPS
Now you're you're him bro. Keep it up
Keep making these games hella fucking boring for me, bro. I almost fell asleep last night.
The only real information gathering that the tool that they have in this composition is that sky, which, shout out the sky, honestly, I thought I was watching Jack Aigo on the server there.
But yeah, like, you recognize it, that's what you're making.
Now, Nats, Nats is an entertainer. They are gonna be looking together.
No, you're complex fun. They are gonna be looking to try and isolate those fights to get a planet back where they had it.
And then they are shutting down for map 2 and 3, which makes my life boring.
So think about me next time and do what Nats is doing. Make some crazy place.
Wait, Valad, do you see Forsaken's performance? That's fun, bro. You need to watch that final round.
of location that's location was continuously a thorn in fanatic side
Oh, yeah, there's four people here. Oh wait, that's four out of five. Where's the other one? Where is he going?
It's just what not so fast. Yeah, again, we've had this conversation
He's fucking so good
He's so good bro now to go over and above in terms of aggression in terms of pride when players with this much talent play at their best
It's fucking still able to find so fun to watch
It's just throwing fanatics macro off entirely
They have to address certain things that aren't necessarily having to deal with
Actual data usually against other you know, we're gonna make an Andreimo balance
We're gonna make an Andreimo for data because he is everyone's father now with for pretty literally everyone. He plays he fathers
I'm not even joking. I have not seen him get dip this entire season
That's and find me. Oh, oxy oxy's gonna shit on him. He's four years old
Well, it's not he's gonna be able to who's next?
Mod is gonna shit on Bang!
Mod is gonna turn around rounds that almost look loosable turning into like winning rounds as well for his team
So yeah, he's just the king of bite. Oh, yeah cryo Bang!
That runs very much on the side of Liquid
But Abyss is coming up next and this is a map for Fnatic that they looked confident on even yesterday
I mean Crash, he's on Abyss
Second half past Bang!
He actually waits!
Wait, I have to go look at this
look at this G2 has Andre has legit dipped everyone motto asbestos second oxy cryo is there
I guess. Oh. Not I'll leave. I'll
leave is the last one remaining.
The last victim. Yes, you get
his big get back map for them
Obviously the last time that they played team liquid. I believe they played team liquid on this map and
I know that hold that thought for a second
But that's what they can at least find confidence in I think here. Um,
Have changed their composition around they were obviously running the breach Tejo previously
I know that RQ high bracket had lots of days with no matches
But do you think back to back the o5 since three days is bad or unfair?
I think it's fair
But what do you think especially mentally and physically told you if I would do it again?
I already said I think it's bad for
Overall like you want to see the best out of these teams
So I want to see teams fix their mistakes and be better for the next match
That isn't allowed when you have to play the next day. So that's out of the question
So I think that's bad about playing BO5 is the next day and having them crammed like this
the other thing is
The amount of anti-shredding your opponent can do on you and how little you can change
so you have to kind of be quick about it which
Which, for example, when we had back to back BO5s, I felt like we were pretty good at changing
things up, but it is difficult to change a whole playstyle, right?
So you have to change very small things within your playstyle.
And the game has only gotten harder.
So I can't even imagine these teams having to do that game after game after game.
So I think it's bad overall.
I just get no sleep so that's also annoying. Yeah, I think when I'm looking at fanatics composition here
I'm looking at the stopping power that they're gonna have against this whaley in that neon that they have
I'm thinking about how amazing alpha and boster have been looking on that B site with their defensive setups, right?
I'm looking at the cash and how much value he's gonna be able to get off of that zero print off of that K
Oh, nice already sitting here though liquid also give
If I wore liquids odds to win this game like this is insane what they're doing
were they like really it wasn't like three to one
five last night having to ask them to adapt quickly it's almost difficult actually
two nights I struggled because I thought that they were based off of the
composition that there I think this is happening to some of this fanatica
a team that have struggled for years to adapt quickly.
So we talk about coming into fresh matches,
having a lot of prep time ahead of season start ahead of it.
I think that's something they've trended way behind.
You're greedy on having 9K subs and still showing ads.
See, a lot of people change when they gain some fame.
Guy like myself, I came from the slums.
I was running these same ads when I was a wee boy,
a wee streamer.
I don't change.
They throw at you.
Yeah, for sure.
I think as well like coming into this we had already set up liquid are a team that looks to change
I did run in these eyes
when it gets deep into a playoffs run like this so Fnatic coming into today we should have known this would be fine
this is do or die for Fnatic they have to win this game if they can see in the running for Santiago
liquid however is looking to come and test that one map away from punching their ticket
we'll head over to our casters for our third map of the series
Also apologies for no youtube stream I wish I could I can't have I can't
afford another S in F's earlier and a really key around in the paper X game
especially not with how dominant it has been for fanatic to break the kickoff
curse we're gonna have to lock in here and now yeah and the fun thing is is
I we've spoken about them going for double Jules to double die we said I
I would try and if it asks, I'm gonna go back to normal.
So here we are on Switch On.
Oh boy, Fnatic.
Let's see.
Surely you go get three out.
Every kind of Colosseum Fnatic
we reverse sweep them back
after getting reverse sweep yesterday.
oh here we go what could be the final map of the series and that's gonna be
the case for all of them team liquid set themselves up for success and maybe
even for Santiago that's Nance I lurk I think by myself it does go
be the game but that was all I'll make everybody rotate to the inside that
catch them in the chaos see it's easy I know he's got a question has given
So much space and kayak is not all he's just up by himself
Oh my god, they're gonna go a now that's just calling it back a time and that's where poster strikes
And look like the game plan was masterful now. That's why we're walking into that cause side as a man
Just waiting in the good because roughly that camera didn't see him. That's so lucky for Nats
We've talked about his sky. We've talked about that almost jewelist escapility
But this one's gonna be rough that cash waiting a flash ready if he needs it, but he's just gonna go for the time
Isolated from the rest holy shit. I was very low
That was the only way they want that cuz the initial plan
Reverse liquid it's all we go super aggro and then now I can't believe you just held either
He actually just held down be by himself
Any heroics man
No scenario which you should get out of there. I genuinely think the smoke helped a lot because they gave him that extra
second to adjust
They need a minute they need to act they actually need to act right now, but now he has to carry
Perfectly also stuck on by duty bro kayak has to carry here their belt. We've seen this story before
Liquid scary when the rifles come out, but this time they made an investment early
They went for the outlaw and they tend to fight back. I love this buy top. You've got pistols
They just need to do 10
But on the other side a single shots enough to kill and kayak already got to has made this investment
Basically no one avoid
Yeah
Unfortunately you can buy one, but he can buy one with shields. It's kind of the difference maker. That's why he survived and that's didn't
still opportunities to make this costly but it also means that their first proper buy
is going to have a weakness is going to have a piece missing and if they don't do any damage
for free kills there's no way to expect anybody to clean round clean round for from there.
This attack-sided shot extremely attack-sided.
have not been shy of the comebacks in the early game it don't expect to see alpha
here they're too much atomic device is going to be pushing b incredibly often
but the only other shit so if you get the fanatic here it is in the back of
their mind how quickly that space okay for fanatic a two zero starters what
they need this is the one lab map or neon and where they want was 30 up and
Yeah, team liquid they stop pulling punches
How many presents a bit if you can remove not to be on the pistol careful
I want to give him that outlaw, but they really are putting the pressure on okay fanatic like I'm liking the aggression here
Good damage though honestly
Getting one there is really big
Double flank.
Yeah, that's always the problem.
Because he knows they have to push him.
Okay.
They canceled.
They smoked it.
K.O. Flash.
They have to know this is coming.
Huge kill.
How? How is he not dead?
They bonused him.
Okay, I've actually got a chance.
Bro.
I play how does he do it? He's sticking with the lay around and he just never seems to miss a single
Oh my god
My god, he missed he missed the outlaw shot
He's not only an important region, but a youngster at that a hot prospect. No doubt the flying drone
And yes, you're looking at as a bonus round and fanatic. That's great
oh my god man he tried he tried getting out of the numbers look at these guys go
though that's a big kill by boaster I like the pressure I really like the
pressure from Panada here oh my god kayak
Kayak
Kayak
Kayak, you're close!
Okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay, this is it
They fixed it for last round, they made it for last round
Liquid is so broke
They ended up in the same position, Liquid is still broke, so it doesn't matter
What a big push by Kayak though, in the middle
starts off with him just diving on that's taking him out of I think he also has one
of the more impactful kills getting back in there as well that one
I like it he's not accepting the L getting aggressive
he maybe wasn't there you go I've seen for a minute the Vekars was incredible so we'll
see if we can get both of them for fanatic if we're gonna go a little further in this
series
It seems like he was asking that I did do I stand up is that is how we do it's feeling himself
Anyways, that's all that I fuck one to the seat. Okay, so the chaos that I'm up and leave
Maybe they come back
How do they deal with this?
That's how it's an outlawed down over far the A site players far back on a as well
There'll be no chance to really gonna walk in this plant. Oh my god crazy aggressive. They're not
Is this a flood? Is this a liquid flood right here? Or a fanatic flood?
Aw, they're taking their time. This might fuck them.
If they flood it, I feel like maybe.
They're still in spawn. They're still stuck in spawn. They haven't skilled at all.
They're taking too long, I feel like.
I really really feel like Crashies and Kamo should have been a little bit more aggressive in that bombsite
To get a couple kills and just cause some chaos
Instead of waiting for the set we take. No, sorry
Crashies in it, Vikash. Sorry, not Kamo
Like I know why they did that
in those early rounds reminding for like it just gives so much time gonna be an
easy liquid to set up the post plan already you can see that that's
actually me is coming under the worst thing you can really do is letting them
set up investment after the plan even with a steel garden and maybe a hunter's
fury for the next it will probably give team liquid the lead yeah it's
definitely a bit more worrying than just moments ago and I'm gonna control
single outlaw for one break starts that was what gave I think at least two tags
plus a kill oh many liquid are not going to alpha site again alpha just doesn't
even get to play down in case fanatic oh my god they're actually hitting beyond
him he's about a shit on them slower if he gets one tapped here I think he's
gonna break his head up with one time they actually hit a site they're going
Searching around in three maps seem like boaster and now Alphia are aware
This control is split. It's coming under scrutiny. This is good though. They're fighting for one lane
You don't
They're all safe though. They're all really really safe
And it's already holding rotate. Oh my god. I was gonna call them back. I think Chad
Go back in! Go back in! Go back in! Go back in!
Why didn't they go back in?
Oh, he is ulting, he's ulting, he's ulting. Sorry, sorry, my fault.
Oh my god.
Chat. They don't have a smoke to defuse either.
Ash is dead.
Being available the main detriment of it is if somebody comes from behind but they already know that that is in the case
The one thing I have to be very careful about is it being denied?
There you go, stop stuff from Becca as you wait for the first pop
I'll still move it
Crassie's just trying to block the player for a swing and they will be taken out
Big fucking 2v2 to win man, great ult by Vikash
Becca's even threw in a little bit of a curveball there
And it wasn't flashed but not the one you're taking up
And throw it in a little flash and then getting on the diffuse and made them think for a second
It was is he on it? Or did he throw that flash? What was the time in that moment?
Little hesitation because it wasn't even needed
There's there there to clean up in the end a great round from alpha. Look that
Tripped him that he finds he has no right to get in the second. This is why I'm corrode. They don't go to his site
I think that as well from that catch just a quick thinking because you could see how far away purple when he's
Wow man, this game is so good right now.
Right, she's huge!
Okay, now they can play the retake however they want, they can chill.
That's Lurk though, Chal, that's Lurk.
They gotta be aware of it, they gotta be.
Right?
No
He kills him B is open
But a headshot is a headshot. That's all you need to remember. It doesn't matter how much health you have
They still gonna be hard at the angle is a bit of a risky fight, but I love these angles
No risks happy to now for 5-2
Locked in as the retake begins many who needed to get something
Beautiful man, clean round, they've stabilized, this is a pause, pause a million percent here.
What an ult Austin, what an ult.
Great defense that so far man.
swung in the other direction now for fanatic control the rat the rounds have been so close though besides
this one the rounds have been so close to have a big performance like that again even this one
would have been close if not gets the skill you have them all cut off and they go beam plant and
it's a post plan B if you get that kill that way you need to bounce back is exactly what they
were searching for team liquid though are not happy to see this they're not happy to see
see the smiles on the other side of the stage and they're taking a moment the
timeout I wouldn't even say early on round day I think it's a good moment for
it they've been able to bat pick is this off and I felt consistent yeah what we
know about liquid when it comes to the later stages of these house that tends
to be where they put up the numbers so both house well yeah I think off the
back of your opponent skating it in zone four let's sit around where you
kind of had expectations to at least do a little bit of damage that it's
It's not the greatest of signs and also at least for now it seems like the switch up in double dive is not
This is a triphanatic? Yeah.
The way it mattered before was that Miniboo would be the one taking the space on that way
I mean this is a great defense side so far, they're showing
The secondary bow of Yoru coming through
They won all the key rounds
The very very close, the 2v2
The Neon's been okay
Even the pistol like Alpha basically had the round 1
So he's getting domed for it, and when you're not having that second layer
Nats had the round one for Liquid and they fucked it up because Kayak held it held B by himself
Excuse, thank you for the prize. Liquid's still playing good, these rounds have been so close
Well round eight barriers are up and Team Liquid although they got with a pace
He started towards mid bit of a sprint coming in from mini booth direction
I'll be back towards this A site. It's a weak investment credit saved for the next but that doesn't mean potentials not here
Okay, oh nice needs to have a stronghold or get out of here
Or he's taken down
That's a quiet line at the top of the infos there. Yeah, that's I think you could do that
You all
Crash no way he dies. No way. That's gonna land the show on the pigs and they got the gun and they have heaven control
Why this is why can't this round get
Oh my god
It's actually all kayak right now
Oh the couch bit kill
Nice feeling a chance. He's moving different right now. He's actually moving different now with an insane ult from whaley
It's still three players alive for fanatic yeah, you see how important it is just for him to survive show pivotal and getting back into that site
I think he got three people in spawn with this ult.
Yes, he really is.
Oh my god.
I'm so glad they haven't done this, you and men, and threw Kayak on an AWP all of a sudden.
Oh shit, now he's gonna AWP for sure. He's like, fuck.
They're attempting one of their own.
You can't be a reverse swept if you're 2-0 down.
There you go.
All you know.
But they have lost the player early in this one.
Clarence has been pivoting a lot of rounds and most of surprise factor is met with only
one of the best.
They're not going to go to Alpha.
That's obvious.
Alpha, yeah.
If I'm Alpha, I instant rotate here.
But even with Crash, he's aggressive.
He's been caught by the cam.
Force to retreat and while this round is looking bleak, even just escaping might
be difficult.
Well this round is looking bleak even just escaping might be difficult on the serious
pressure he's gonna get
Save save look at him
Did you see him on camera?
He could see him laughing on his way out he knows he's lucky to be alive but that ain't
lasted too long time to flee
Alpha rotates to help him die
Austin's like alright well
A lot of this just comes down to the midfights
Nice knowing you man
with kayak going down and I think that's where the first domino crumbles and liquid have their
direction then clearly defined towards that A site and Alpha just wants to play man he just wants to
play. They have avoided him like the plague and the times they haven't he's actually multi-killed them
multiple times.
This timing gets punished. I wouldn't be surprised if we see it from him again though.
Yeah I think that was definitely like a domino effect rounds but you'd lose him
early you're trying to recover the reaggression plays into the hands of liquid and then they just run
with it i think alpha should set up being played different side now i actually agree with you
good to see that
getting back onto the board as well i said he's had a wonderful time
in this map so far and yeah look he's
Alfa has been playing this singular time because they have Cypher trips.
Look at Alfa, bro.
How are they not holding B?
How are they not holding A with four P's?
Good to equalize.
No play.
Or is it Camo building his keyboard?
Um, it is a technical pause.
We'll take a little bit of a breather, perhaps a welcome one at this stage.
For liquid it has been nothing, but individual rounds scattered throughout a sea of cyan
and this is their chance to connect the second, the follow up, gathering their breath
is perhaps a welcome reprieve.
Yeah.
I think for
Liquid so far I said they had that sort of clutch round they had the bonus that I think that was the same
The only just went their way
There it is
And then we had this round and so we're kind of talking about a point where
It's happening like fanatic of fairly firmly in control. So I I think for league officials are investigating
Literally makes me feel like I'm you consider
It's like the best we've seen so far about it. Who fucked up? Who's smoking in the toilet Stella?
From the side of fanatic, they've enjoyed running this sort of jet dive and leaving alpha yet to sort of probe from behind so
I was I was actually waiting because it is often the liquid fans though
Let's go tech pause chat. We love to see quick tip for those of you in the audience
If you are going to make a sign supporting the tack pause cheering it on
probably don't do it in red. Our stage does go red and it makes it a bit hard to read but
What color should they do it in?
The boosters diffuse on bind was actually finished. Should we VR it?
I don't think that will help with the signs that we're giving out.
That's a hard bar check right there.
I don't know if that will work too well but we'll see. We'll see eventually.
Eventually, I think it was yeah, there's a keyboard issue is something that I believe we saw camera just playing around with
So hopefully that will be something that's done fairly quickly and maybe he'll even give
There we go. Oh, there you are. Are you also laughing at the other energy?
The keyboard was actually fine just the RGB. It wasn't it wasn't given them the light
And you need the atmosphere down
Let's go easy short tight pause no problem
White LEDs on my keyboard one or two tech pauses five
It's only when it gets bad like when it's like every single other round three round gap between and fanatic
Well, Kaik was shut down in the previous round looking for that flight on middle
He was 12 and 3 he felt confident and they came out and tapped his head off this round
He's changed things up because he's in the same spot
But it's done up in hand and he's not looking to give away those opening fights
But he's not closing the close the human get towards this door breaking in defense
I'm a pressure poster now they get real close to the human law
I need to land the shot missing the first
Oh, that's just the same disaster
The guardian angel to keep them in a 5v4
His knight and shining armor just appeared on horseback to save him in a moment of need
It's bits and pieces of alpha so happy when he sees a player bro
Boaster alpha all they're not shooting alpha. They're not shooting alpha none of those opening fights have gone the way of liquid
It said it's just been blips. It's been individual rounds that they found and unless they can turn this one
It could be more of the same now. I'm liking the position that's currently being held by our kids for the impromptu
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to try and cross in from behind
does leave out fear on a little bit of an island though and that's the problem
if he gets taken out as much more of a chance
look how patient they're being on the rotate still in a ball how much control
they gave up it's it is winnable commas like capable of this to care start to
think it's open capital the whole squad surrounds it big kill man big
Fucking kill
Advise all just to create so much easier to take the space and make it towards the side
huge
I don't have words I don't have words I don't have words
The
things I've watched these last couple of days,
Martin dropping like a hundred and fifty kills to reverse sweep and that is poster's
offing. Forsaken plus forty three aces in the final round and goes to fucking San Diego.
And then Nats doing this.
Yeah, again, crash, he's supposed to be commanded that quick trade. Last time he was ahead of the kill.
For Team Liquid, it might look odd with the spike and spawn. They do have a TP and ult on Wayne
to go and steal it back. They've also got a speedster in the form of mini-boot. Nonetheless,
the issue here is not the spike. The issue is the same of the-
Valheim plus 32? I'm so sorry I forgot about that. It's only because I fell asleep during
that match. That's my bad. You were fucking frying, though, bro.
The thorns that will be put up, but now a flash. You can see it on the left,
but they can't. Now, once this pops, big problems prove, but look who's tucked
in the corner. We couldn't come out to help because of those thorns. Alpha
They finally come to my side, see what happens to them.
Not another one before, bro. Not another.
No, no chance.
But it's low key in their heads.
that denies him planting exactly where he wants now.
Bang Boaster nice, well played.
Another 7-5 half, huh?
But I had to leave guaranteed at the half
Wasn't enough on the previous
but eight to four oh
Frustration on the other side of the stage don't give us another take post
There we go. I say I need liquid to win this round up. Okay, I carry on sova alts
Omen alts safer. I want to play for Tom and look at what they're coming in with on the side of team liquid
Looks very scary three big ultimates back to the post the only nuts really
All right alpha Jesus Christ
He's chilling all it's really given us the space back has just just sat back
What a kill for
Crashies well, they can't like maximum you do tell the rushing desperately trying to find ground on the
I find someone to fight
Bro, bro, bro, bro pick his ass up right now
That was nice
To five at the half fanatic and not down and out yet, but before we come back for the second half
We've got some special guests
That was good. That's all you could have done mini. We went around up true from G2
Oh my god
Is that boss man
Is that a boss-murder or what?
I mean, it's good to take inspiration from everyone.
I think every region and team has something new.
I'm going to say Verizon, G2.
I think those guys understand it for fundamental,
so it's always good to watch those guys.
Obviously, right? That is the PO answer, but we take it.
There is a lot to take, of course, from the G2 boys.
And Akita, on the personal side, of course,
it's a pleasure to have you here with me in Berlin
because we used to be teammates in Zerans,
and you were playing solo drillists.
Toto back into the front and win packs the key to the front
G2 it has been a little bit different you had Mimi on the you would you see
sometimes one Moa thank you for the T-R-1 bit
doing this meta what do you think of it
I actually like the Barber Jellies meta because
and Lupin thank you for the T-R-1 I appreciate you guys doing this so
Mimi can fill the gap if I wanna pick so much she can go so much and like
she can also play off so I don't always need to
oh that's true thank you to the front
a little bit more freedom, more freedom, but it's fine, a little bit more...
Washington's reaction for sure was to do a listener, Nime, I'm telling you, you played so many grand finals in your career, right?
You know these high-stake matches, so what makes it different, especially as an IGL in those tough moments?
I think the most important thing is the confidence and the prep going into a grand final.
If you're confident in your players and your prep, and everything that you've done to stack yourself up, that is what really is going to make the difference with the game.
How is that when fanatic players need to make individual plays? They are great, but when they need to keep together and trade, they regularly die.
Because they don't have a fucking guy jumping.
Let's see who takes the win between some big red and fat.
Happy Zoro thinking of the prime.
see who is going to take that dub.
Nats leading the squad to a 2-0 advantage in terms of maps
so far, it's looking like he might
be hitting another international.
Yeah, I'm just looking at the way those stats have risen.
And I almost feel like they would have gone higher.
Maybe if some of those games were a little bit closer,
it would have kept going.
The fundies aren't there, man.
He hasn't really needed it in some of the cases here
in the first couple of maps, especially on blind.
I think it might be going off the chart.
We might need to add a new layer after this.
I guess maybe if I was on first plant one day, I would have gone highest in the world.
Who's number one though?
Who's number one world?
Son?
Ask me son.
Rodney, thank you for the tier one man, 22 months I appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
aggression on the last two maps is being so consistent now a lot of that was you
look at how they're trying to get out of those smokes be it for example with
a sky flash popping out that enabled so many aggressive look at how far back this
trip is of the rounds now for liquid this time it's not gonna be I will
never forget what happened to my goat on this map but I would be surprised
against DRX playbook aside and as the round takes on 50 seconds
Rose entire trip is fucking in CT spawn now.
Bane fucked them up nearly.
Bane, yeah.
Oh my god, I mean, what do you even do with this, bro?
I'll fuck.
Oh, shit.
And he plays Zayac after him.
The time is ticking too far. They're gonna go they have to go. I have to go. Hey, this guy's gonna delay long enough
I hope they could kill everybody. Oh my god
We'll just give up on the round is left all of the a eat the white power almost
Liquid climb to six the distance now just one. Yeah, I'm very valuable pistol round for liquid
Right foot forward in this real fucking liquid would be in second every round liquid take from this point
That's nasty from this point forward. It's in the back of your body
For elimination to kickoff
Think the same old story for you the kickoff curse they call it fanatic
They look great all year except right at the start and even before kickoff
Try to copy it. Well, they added certain elements of what John might said for example the
on Corode, the aggressive middle on Corode, because there was a lot obviously
that Jettemates did that work really well.
Holy shit bro.
It's like I'm watching a fucking replay.
Locked in on Defender spawn. Yeah, this looks ridiculous, but it also looks exactly as an expect
Why did you take my kill?
Yeah, that's behind you want a surprise. Yes, you did say that she said Jack I go for the gun buddies
I forgot to thank you for my the other week Jack, but appreciate that for all the counts as well. Oh, no
But seven seven double nine it could be double nine it should have been
Because turned at the speed of light. He was not about to get night. I'll be happy with it
Salty timeline shows a battle for fanatic, but when it comes to late rounds liquid have always been solid on this map
It's where they put up those numbers and now you pop as we come towards round 15
This is a must. Oh god. They're about to flood. They're about to flood
They're actually have a good timing to play as well as soon as this bomb goes down even before the bomb goes down
Still scary
Beautiful
Great old boys
One, fire a single.
And the question of damage, I suppose.
Alpha, yeah, 3k.
That's a good answer, in favor of liquid.
Eight to seven.
Saving the team right now.
They did that relatively comfortable.
Yeah, that was a nice response.
I think that's the one thing you can do
against this sort of aggressive defensive side
is the more direct hits.
A lot of the time,
you're either gonna end up in a fireflare
or you're gonna end up in a-
Good shit, stop in the flood.
Both of those are absolutely fine
From fanatics 17 and 11 alpha second knife kill
We could have got two for one and they barely touched his bomb site last half in a second knife kill of this map of that round
But eight to seven this relic we get the full buy back up
It didn't get much damage done in the previous though so good signs early on for that phenomenon
I'm selling for another B pop first angle no defaulting from Tannatic. That's a change
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it's falling apart, it's a clean round, still awesome as no-
Oh!
Just come back, bruv, just come back.
Come back.
Sen will pay you $40,000 a month minimum.
It's good old management from crashes, but I'm not sure it was necessary. We missed you out here intentional
There's a really good. We miss him right? We miss him. We miss our boy
He said that all up a mastermind, but they were so quick with the rotation
Wayne was honestly gonna be dead to rights and media
Yeah, this guy's actually psycho
Jigsaw
Villanar, can you can see him and he's having fun down there? He's poking it
Pointing and laughing at all Wow
Wait
So who you laughing at and waiting purple mere seconds into the round find themselves alone
Maybe the pointing and laughing was a little bit too much. Yeah, I think you've angered the beast a
Man that took home the most awards in the M.E.A. last year and it's rookie year at the same time
This is a big round too by the way.
Don't lose this round.
Mr. Wayne.
What the fuck, Perpo?
Huge. Huge. They are both are.
know where everybody is and Austin has the lineup dude. Perfect. Perfect, they're chilling.
Beautiful Austin. Easy. Well played. Very well played.
Even going forward at this point is completely null avoid saving. Again, they're probably going
to be hunting them down and they might even have heard those steps I think Crashies might have
and considering the fact that he's won away from Hunter's Fury after that previous pick
you know that he's gonna hunt you chase you to the ends of the earth
I think his papa is awesome they could buy it but if he saves this gun they can buy next round
he won away from all that will help him out at least kind of in the next round but
his rifle would definitely be useful kayak's gonna be the one taking the flight the
public as the react I think maybe expecting there to be a second layer to this
a bother what's the whole line completely blinded still wins the pick
eventually okay he loses company games is all wait he readjusted his crosshair
blind for him in that moment the fanatic though that is the lead back in their
hands the back and forth in the second half continues the main story was
those openers from kayak it is just a blind keep in mind a heartbreak and it
could be for Fnatic losing out here.
They were one round away from qualifying there yesterday.
Having to turn around this quickly,
play that BL5 against, you know,
to say he's still rivals really is an understatement.
I mean, these guys have been trading blows
since Valorant began, and in partnership,
it was liquid to draw that first blood,
an important grand final.
They got one of the coolest trophies we've had in the MEA.
We'll go back to the Coliseum.
for fnatic
ever since then that final didn't go their way and
even getting to finals has been a tough situation when it comes to kickoff
usually bomb out in the first few games
oh yeah this is the one place
it has been tough
hard for neon and waley to have much impact pushing wise on this map
Every like all the angles you're pushing into are like a taxidermy as the tournament goes on and
That's gonna have so much space for everyone to play with so like
Dash slows that slow plays won't work either. Not that often at least that's one way again. I feel like
Liquid have set themselves up for success one of their best maps versus one that fanatic have struggled on but
at best of five
Anything is possible. Oh you look at this defense
Four players currently within this B-side. Uh-oh. The trips were set on the other side
meant they would be online unless a kill was found, but this is dangerous. This is worrying for Fanatic.
They are blocking each other's path. They're blocking each other. Oh, no, he's ulted.
16 seconds. They have to come here. They have to come. They're coming. They came.
The chance to extend their lead, but they have tripped and fallen once again.
When you see that damage pop up after the ramp.
That side is brutal.
Someone's bounce might be broken after that.
That's gotta be so frustrating.
Shocked our door one-an-eight.
What made Fnatic commit to V as like, well, why was that the decision that was made?
A gamble?
What are you doing?
Fuck your nose, bro.
Well, we made it that one real quick.
We got the company, good luck.
The score line equalized.
A team liquid.
You can see what's on the back side.
They're pretty good at getting info before making a decision on what side to hit.
They're usually good at sniffing out stacks.
That's what I'm asking.
Kayak has to be a hero here, has to.
What a shot!
What a shot by Kayak!
Oh, Miniboo, what a stun.
Oh, what a kill, bro.
Everything is so good from everyone.
Oh, my god.
Wow.
What a paranoia.
Liquid managed to survive the onslaught of the Blidestorm and now they take the lead
Finding themselves just three rounds of those trades were it essentially instant
Santiago so good and sending out
This guy's still smiling. He's been smiling the whole game
Historic you smiling down ten seven combined record against them one out
But this squad is not gonna give a damn
Especially when you look at the likes of purple and Wayne the opportunity to to make it to that first
The first time international especially for purple. Are you talking about playing as a youngster who's coming up to the league?
For the first time purpose been around the block for a long long time. This has been a journey
I'm in those three rounds are gonna feel like an eternity. I'm pretty sure since day one
I know the exact adjustment facts about me very exact. You guys ready?
Invite only era. Well, this is the thing. He was shoved in for mek in the last my mouse
By the way
They're going to do
They're gonna hold mid for a bit or do that mid swing again the one where Kayak got two kills that move
They're gonna for sure do that and if I'm liquid right now
You have to know that's what they're gonna do
They're gonna go mid wait and see but
Okay, I haven't seen their ults though. If they have ults it's not fair.
Oh fuck.
Nevermind, maybe it's just an exit.
And liquid come in with immediate aggression a mainsies paranoia and the relay ball thrown through
Hey, good wall for as the players sliding right back out. You hold the mood anything
But look at the clear mid cypress pushing all the way through minutes on out
Creeping that's taking so much you're dead
You're not killing alpha
And waits on mid finally
Again getting aggressive because they don't want to just get full exact on with these ults and just lose for free
I don't mind it
Darts just wasn't good enough
Camo has a judge though shot Camo has a judge. He has a judge here. I'm scared
I'm actually scared for it.
Okay, good trade, holy fuck.
Thankfully Kayak was above him.
Wow, well done.
Well done, and they saved...
They're gonna save Vizalt as well, that's big.
Huge timeout, good call.
Oh, yeah, that's a ball. Fanatic should with these alts be able to close this up. They would take something crazy for Liquid to win this now. On defense side, I'm saying.
I think Fnatic for sure gets the 12th
Wily is up mid again
That's last round, Wily is up mid fully
some info but I remember when gentleman mini was walking up mid and constantly heard
fanatic jumping and going be late the smoke comes in too late and just call this whole team this
act dude what a kill what a kill this is and b has fallen the battle lost before it began with camo
that's game that's game the resurgence of fanatic is undeniable i think you have to save you no
No surprise to see Nats here with that wall just fading moments ago
Wait, okay. Yeah, say for sure say that
The sparks become a flame. Yeah, I did it seems whatever was said in that pause is working
Holding for that early aggression down there constantly adapting the setup so that when I'm aggressive
They're not just dealing with the same place different layers to alpha man take over
like they've noticed now that they've been gambling a lot on that A site, having multiple players there and then leaving Wayne, who
I'll be honest so far has been incredible, but this time was dealt with, the round before it was Camo who was dealt with
and once they get into those positions, that's where it becomes so much tougher for Liquid
they'll take a pause of their own, because this is the thing, we've witnessed it yesterday
it doesn't matter how close map 3 is when you're 2-0 up, if you lose you lose
And then the momentum starts to switch then the doubts start to sink into the back of your minds talking moments
NRG or ASPAS
Players like Wayne who haven't been honestly I've been doing for a good game
I haven't made it that far
I haven't ever had that reaction
If I'm being objectively honest, let's be real
I think NRG would just be a better representative for America's right now
Don't turn into a lower bracket
People look at this and are okay
We'll find out if it's still a favorite, right?
They would still be the team they almost won it yesterday
When you're 2-0 off, that's amazing
When you let one match slip, that's the door open.
All the time now.
Now I ended the timer taking over again.
That doesn't mean for London, that's going to be the case or for Shanghai.
I feel like energy is a little bit better right now.
15 matches, my goodness.
But I think that also highlights our team liquid or a squad that have always
been in the pursuit of thank you for the little swords atop
it, if they don't get it, they're willing to make the changes.
True, actually, yeah. Neither set-knows.
Holy shit, I imagine.
This is a rough buy, man.
Ahah, basically a save.
They're playing for OT.
Liquid is playing for overtime.
They get themselves a space
95 it's a rare fanatic with Lucy's but considering no big investment from liquid you'd imagine they kill a player down
That has to be a certainty
See camo move towards have it, but it will be diving in to take this
Wow blues in his life a train
Serves himself up
with a man down smoke now blooms
Spam's not good they get close to this like put everybody's fall in it
Made them use vines ult at least
They're over to 10, 4 to Fnatic, they left it close, that started to doubt if we were going to see them show up here today, but two chances to at least lock in a map.
Yeah, we expected one of their choices to be clean.
They've got to fight tooth and nail for every single one of them.
Now they see it.
It's gonna fall.
It's gonna be after this pass.
It's crazy.
Oh well.
This is the round the liquid we're saving for.
The last was a mix by pieces missing.
Those ultimates were kept, not expended.
They knew they were fighting for OT.
Unless they pulled off miracles as they have done.
Oh no, the trips are getting broken again.
not again
As long as nobody gets spammed Austin has his ult for post plant as well
My god, they're flooding again. Oh god. It's gonna be chaos
Oh my God, what a round.
Very, very good flood.
A fourth map and a chance to still take this series in a flight to Santiago for liquid
OT could seal the deal of the 3-0
That kill right there man. I feel like hi has to get one
It wasn't really affected by the use of the only player that wasn't affected by you so
They have no ultimates to play within this next
Okay, they definitely have more to play with going into the final round of regulation a pop again
It's the wrong read. This is a good call from Panatic. They have to read be
This is the correct call their full retake
Austin still has a civil they get another chance at this
This time they don't have commas all either this retake is gonna be so much harder
The great call.
Oh, see you later.
Oh my God, no way.
No way. No way.
No way.
Mini Booz just got everyone.
No way.
No way they've put it in this easy.
He doesn't check.
Wow
Wow man
But the fact is, pure insanity.
They love this. This production loves doing the days.
And as you can see, 1,391 days potentially reset to zero.
If Liquid confined two rounds in a row.
Alfie are playing a game of his life, man. It felt like the old tournament.
He's been doing that 28 and 18. It was kayak though on the defense.
Holy, oh my god. Did they see him? They saw Hoppe?
No way he saw it with that jiggle. No chance.
Oh my god. They can't. This is a joke. This is a joke.
Oh my god.
That is so sad, bro. The last three rounds for Kayak, I would actually fucking crush my mouse in my hands.
Bro, those two retakes, the way he died, was disgusting.
And then that round, one second he looks away,
re-peeks the angle he's been holding for 10-30 seconds,
and gets two tapped by two duelists.
And a swing surely coming, the second parter has the contact.
He doesn't even need the swing, doesn't even need the help.
Nice shot from Crashy, but there's no more of that liquid.
One round away from three zeroing Fanatic
and taking themselves to Santiago.
Wow
This combo guys fucking actually clear the real deal that's signifies. They know you're set up brother
He's so dangerous. It's been a previous
Saw it here as well and then that's waits for the flash once it pops he swings and the trade is there immediately
Very well handled and if they get another overtime something for fanatic to consider
But now's not the time to think about that the defense that might have been the last time
You get to play it fanatic have to fight for it. They have to earn another shot as liquid stand
Oh my god of a three
Fanatic actually is about to get three of victory over fanatic that we have not seen for a long long time
What is their decision you can't time out an OTA on both sides of the map, they've been able to get in
They've been able to take space. They've been able to get into a post-bomb, but those three takes those fears
They probably talked about it earlier, maybe
Or is just trusting Buster to call this
Oh my god, they're sacked and B-shot
They pressure B-pop, they pressure B-pop, no one on B has moved off that drone
What a flash
Oh no
Okay they saved him
They're managing to hold on!
Fnatic!
His backcash is there with another!
They're alive!
Not dead in the water just yet.
Nats misses the shot to start as well.
Fnatic might just have bought themselves that extra little bit of time.
Another shot and a squad that has never 3-0ed them.
Never looked this dumb!
Holy shit.
Holy shit. They're alive. They're alive. They're alive.
Another overtime guaranteed and now we look to that defensive setup
I feel like we must see a change coming as liquid last round. They're alive. Okay
When that entry came I was like, oh god
Big mistake by Wayne there man if Wayne stays put back that round is clean and they go to Santiago
Brilliant flash that probably should have got them the open of it. Even then it's his fracking power that
Wow, incident. Did they go and repop A now? Camelurk mid, they repop A. Camel pressure
There's mid, while they repopay.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
Love that from Fnatic. Love that.
Love this.
Love this even more, Austin.
Unless you die.
Say it ain't so, mummy.
And just like that, Liquid has the advantage in the room.
Crashings will be spotted operator on the retake also not ideal but might work out
What is this agent?
He literally slid into a set
Do you guys see how far he slid?
still goes in liquids favor another chance to close this skill many blues on point
them you have to give it to them
if they let this slip not just being in a position where they were 27 and 23 for
making it to give him that guy enough credit this guy's owning from closing this
map out from continuing the series from keeping up the good fight but now
Again, they have to climb back a team known
For playing from behind while they're behind in the map behind in the series
And it looks like their look could be running out
What do you do for that? What do you do last round you called a drone into a big pop?
We've not seen much from this defense in terms of a grasshopper. Yeah, it's scary if you're fanatic
Similar set up the same exact set up from liquid by the way exact same setup
And I walked right into the trap, but they had lost a lot of three player setup
Still remains on be with okay around drone doesn't see anything
Alpha's gonna hear this drone or see it never mind
postured
The war day and I wonder if they're gonna try and almost double down on last time B-Fall again. Oh
They sold the rules in one direction. Callan. Thank you. That's your woman. Thanks for three months
And the fact is liquid just stop moving they've stopped over rotating and now many believe in starts going back in the other direction
Oh my B-stack
Look what I have another chance to hold it
Second time in a row
Oh my god
They're deep in AMA now it's gonna be five liquid no the hits huge flash
They've read it
Fanatics playbook sometimes open
An open view of team liquid, but they've got the opening and and and
Kayak
Let's go Kayak
What a fucking flash!
Where did that come from?
That was a death, what the fuck
hahahahahaha
Yeah, I'll just expect to have some late round impact and there's nothing left to do
a good problem to have especially at this stage of the game
Fanatic fighting again
for that fourth map
for a chance at the reverse sweep
My god, just a regular APOP
Kayaks close, Kayaks close though
damn
shiiiiiiiii
good trade though
They're never going to peak this angle. Just like ever. Alpha! Alpha!
Surely.
Wow, those two want to kill.
might just have to be the best of them and he has to go moving the second this
Oh my god
we're going about four right right
advantage they go on to the attack which hey
might as well just hit B again it could be third time looking for them as well
the third chance they've had to close out this map while liquid has been
offered out from then what a play through that smoke
It was since before Liquid hit 12.
Textbook play is to wait for that smoke to go away, but when you're playing to win, you
throw that shit out the window.
You're 33 and 21 out, but nobody is accusing you of chilling.
Not a soul out there.
15 to 14.
Liquid won't be taking it chill either.
A timeout called for them as now they face potentially a map 4.
I'm almost wondering what they're going to say here because in the last two defensive
rounds they've had.
They have perfectly rent their opponent. They have got it bang on they just lost every fight
Like it's not even like you can go like oh, yeah, we had the mystery do we made a misplay is we got wrecked by kayak like that
Still smiling the round before he's laughing cash, so he knows he won. I'm guessing this is more than just a talk about maybe an idea a
Change up that they can make in that setup on B
But also then it allows the time for the mind games on the other side
Do we make the change he's laughing at the fact that they think they can win
That is crazy
Again, I almost want to look back to how liquid started up the series if it ain't broke. Don't fix it
Well, Fnatic is certainly
shown their experience and the value of it here a team that
Because of the lessons they've been taught in the past, they never give up.
That attitude's gotten them far now.
The reverse sweep needed to make it to Santiago.
Same start for Fnatic as every other round.
And they be popped twice in the mid-round, with no mid-control or mid-pressure.
And it's worked every time.
Oh my god, they're going A now.
brought the Cypher utility from A to B and if this drone sees nobody that could send
the ground spiraling but that's huge information.
Kayak though. Kayak though. Look where he is.
Purple knows. Purple knows this. He did this for General Mates yesterday.
Brother.
It's an open of a can if you turn by some what a trade man still I know already filling in the gap
Needs to turn around try and find them on the side. Holy shit. What a kill
No, we needed to trade this no way that's find an advantage. Oh, he's won it
That's why he was laughing
That's why it was not he just yeah, I know exactly what's that about the room. Let's play for heaven
That's why he was fucking laughing.
This kill, man.
Well, they were winning at 12-10.
But now it's certainly getting to him a little bit.
Yeah, Nats is not doing 360 shorty kills anymore.
But still, some of the stuff we're doing is great.
Is just as ridiculous.
Did they go up?
Well, that was the first defensive round.
Neither team wants to go up mid on these OT.
All is forgotten.
The rounds before mean nothing.
The hero plays mean nothing.
I think everyone's just afraid of a mid-trap.
Game starts once again.
and just look at where the field is currently sat
oh they are going up mid they definitely are going up mid
read on where their opponents are maybe put their turret into the right place
oh my god, awesome chill
looking for that same early battle his opponents found just moments ago and
look his ability to escape
oh my god oh my god he's just left
I'm so scared to have an attic right now slowly back at all there's a fight
huge kill man going down huge kill on that
They've lost the fight protection. It's time to speed up but right into the vice setup and it's nice and passive
It's fun. Maybe it's just up for it. Right? Right?
I said that there'd be trouble when it came to this time, but it's time to change from fanatic by huge success.
Silver.
The last is impressive start. They have an even more impressive finish, a 1 vs 1 finish.
No, no chance. You're not winning with 1v5. 1v4 maybe.
It's impossible, it has to be, you can't even take that refract, it would end the round
on time alone, 16-15, and another shot for Fideppi!
Such a good refouch there, they did it together as well.
Yeah, I'm kind of spawning.
Surely fanatic, please. Seriously, like, please.
Can't get 3-0, come on.
We can't get 3-0.
B default, waiting for a B push.
needed and a monumental fight back and they go back to the b-side it's where
they've been successful but they need kayak to stay on the low shot no shot
because dies in that situation
kayak
so it's both just
bro
bowling like dominoes
bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro
way out of the play
and
ooh
what the
regular surgeons needed even that kill on the Nats unlikely to bring them anywhere
closer but without it the flag unknown to be coming through they are boxed in
they've got a god it's got crosses going crazy it's 16 to 16 you know let's go
again and another overtime these teams impossible to separate but again as
these rounds go on for liquid it's like well we got two more you know we
can still win this we got some more you know whatever just swings through the
smoke and shits on them and it's got to be burning through their late game
Energy
That's actually just end this shit
There's no way he means that absolutely none
Early a nice little pop flash when nice a little bit of tickled damage to start off the rounds so vast for KOA
Three they have three a they have three a but it's not alpha or kayak
Big knife, oh my god, I'm not gonna lie that knife might have actually fucked for nothing more
Because it stopped them from going in
And I'm just gonna hit it
We're talking about
Yo
She bought an outlaw in overtime and did that
Yeah
me another man I know you see him buying out Laura no team pushmen you guys
yeah actually that's probably the right play like who does that it's more
importantly production can I see alpha space when he dies there it'll be
maximum cost just nuts but again it is another moment where liquid look to
close and that's what we're going again it's one thing to look at the
The gall of liquid the defensive aggression that we saw but that play right there underlining what Nats is known for
Oh my god, they're walking in Nats chat. If he ends this game
And we always said that would be a downfall once people realize what all the things he's always behind you
They want to come to me? Okay, come.
And again and now as a leader he's looking to keep up the strength of internationals
The strongest star in the world, and he blows the keys as much to them as it does to a liquid
but it might not matter at three versus two camo.
He hears them both.
Riding some checks for himself on backside.
Yo!
He's taking past the name.
They work with him.
They did it.
They have delivered and defeated Fnatic.
They actually three-zero Fnatic.
In this rivalry, back to 2021, they tried a series by flawless, best of five.
He's won for the history books!
When they first fell into this world of bracket,
I sat there looking at this world going,
well, not this time.
There's no way.
There's absolutely no damn way this thing runs it back.
Five games in a row versus a new Bill Super Team
versus a legendary fanatic versus Needy Booz's brother
and a bunch of players he's very used to.
But they went through them one by one.
They actually did it.
I mean, that's just insane.
And they played so fucking well.
The game plan was so solid,
played it to perfection.
Bro.
They picked Bind on PenaTik2 and beat them.
Like fuck me.
That is unreal man, what a one again.
At least it wasn't a boring 3-0, that was a genuinely three good ass maps.
Nice try to fanatic.
What the fuck is this?
Why am I here?
Oh yeah.
I remember.
and
The coaching staff of course, this is a rebuild that had some risks about it.
They made every single international last year still opted to bring in some youngsters,
bringing players like Wayne, who we hadn't seen in the tier one before,
getting mini-booth after leaving a heretics roster he'd been with for a couple of years
and turn him into something new evolving.
I mean, bro, I don't know what to say. This is pretty insane performance, man.
Like that game plan just made fanatics so uncomfortable every map they had the exact same thing
Or at least the first two maps you can't really do it on a this as much
But they were to the extent that they could
Just fuck
But again all the rounds were so close to being an eat on like favorite for either side, you know
It didn't feel like one team at all dominated the other
like we're just played out of their minds and
Just the most key situations.
Individually.
But I fuck with that game plan, bro. The way they started on Corode, I knew Fnatic were going to have a problem.
They were pushing them every round. Binds, same thing, pushing them every round.
Fnatic at least knew on Bind that they were going to push them and it still worked.
And then Fnatic found an answer for it. 10-7.
They were up. Liquid calls a pause.
and managed to win out.
game at a time and managing to bring such an incredible performance today.
I think we just believed and from the experience last year and personally for me, I mean everyone,
most of the people knows that I have a curse that I'm one year qualifying one not and I
actually decided this year to not be that year and I wanted to prove the opposite even
though the start of the tournament wasn't the greatest for me but at least the curse
is broken but for the team.
I think everyone just believed after the game against Wolff that the game against Wolff,
the game against Giants, when we start changing the stuff and they see the potential and overall
I mean there is no much point to just not believe in yourself and just doubt yourself
and feel the fear because there is no point of that.
You win today, you lose tomorrow, it's a competition.
Watch out for the game, right?
Yeah, so you just...any way you play you work every day and we just...that's
it.
Wise words.
giving speeches today in way this has been incredible right three weeks ago
you were considered as a rookie that you even played without you their first game
you know and now you're in Masters so how did that journey flow and do you have
any advice you want to give maybe to rookies that may be very envious of
your position right now I think if I were to give advice to rookies I think
it's just like just like no have some confidence in yourself and like just do
whatever you want and like the past few games we changed a lot and I think now
everyone is like so comfortable we're just playing our comfort agents right
and we're just playing as a team like with confidence and like we're not
letting the enemies play their game yeah so yeah that's why we wanted it
be confident and have fun right they disrupted a lot they really disrupted
a lot by the way that was that was really fun and that's I got to chat
with Wayne earlier on this day and he was speaking about your words, you know the
speeches that you give at the beginning of the games and how important they are for him.
They actually didn't let them play Valorant.
His mentor in some ways.
At least on the first two maps.
Why do you think he's an incredible teammate?
He's just an incredible teammate. He has incredible talent, he has incredible work ethics I would say.
And it's like even though he came from the tier two region, he came from the different
region and not tier two region, sorry, from the tier two, from the Pacific, yeah, from
another region and he, a lot of players when they come to tier one, they take it as granted
and I wouldn't say that's about to win and even without trying to make him like
good or something, but that's true because there is a lot of people now, they come
and they think I'm in tier one and I'm just not gonna do more and I'm just gonna
do what I do in tier two and I think he's the opposite right now he's working
the most he's trying to show himself and I think that's how it's supposed to be.
Right, let's take things for granted and my last question is gonna be about
there's one more game going on in VCT NA tonight which is gonna be NRG versus
MIBR. I want to have your prediction who will be the last team to join you
in Santiago boys. I mean it's Geo Keiko is playing. I cannot say anything else right? I mean I think
energy. What about you? Energy and you're gonna be rooting for them even though Keiko is playing
with them. What a good guy man. He wants to prove Keiko that he wasn't the best.
I love that. We're gonna see of course if energy make it. Thank you so much for joining me.
Congratulations again and I'm sure you will make us very proud in Santiago.
Honestly, Liquid deserved it. W game plan. W changes to whatever they were doing before
that wasn't working. Obviously, I didn't watch a lot of their games, so I can't like
pretend to be familiar with how they were playing prior to this. But yo,
I have to feel for Fnatic. Like, yes, Liquid played extremely well and should be going to
this tournament and we're the better team. Bro, some of the things that Fnatic lost to
were pure individual like highlights, you know, in the great like in the most key
rounds and that's what makes me feel bad for it because there's nothing you can
do to prepare for some of that stuff and the fact that it happened that many
times is pretty crazy.
Furia Vod, I literally said when the watch parties are finished, I will do it.
I don't know why you guys keep asking me, I will do it when I want to do it, but it will
be done.
You hear me?
Wait, did you guys see the pacific groups?
should. It's funny. It's
Which one will it be?
KC joining group alpha
That leaves course my calling it. Yeah, I got to go eat
Into group Omega
Pool number three is going to have not me and GX to see who's going to join we be back for energy, of course
of course not me okay balance so far and too crazy and that means gx is going to group omega
and liquid are going to be in a pool number five that's liquid joining group
alpha that's a reference for how vitality fumbled fanatic in omega clever
shutter. Who's 6? BBL and Jelmaith, the top seeds of VCT EME AKKoff. Ooh, who's gonna join
group alpha? Oh, I think I saw. Yes, it's Jelmaith.
Jelmaith's Liquid, Heritage, Narvi. And the leaves of BBL are final team in group Omega,
Alongside fanatic vitality GX off and pacific

It's fine. No the crazy one was specific
Yeah, this one, this one is normal. This one isn't, isn't that crazy? Anyway, shot. We're
gonna call it here. Anyone you guys want me to read, by the way, before we depart, I'll
be back. What am I going to be back? The fuck? Hello?
What's the matter?
Hour and 30. Okay. Be back in an hour. And 15.
All right, where are we?
Who are you going to be rid?
Yinsu, I see she's staying live.
They're more like annoyed.
I just feel annoyed that they couldn't fix our issues,
but to be honest, like the only thing that I could do
in the situation is be as supportive as I can to my boys.
Because I love my boys.
They're really, they're a group of boys.
Chat, as always, they're gonna probably shut up.
I love you guys.
Take care.
I will see you guys soon for some of you that are just watching EMEA.
