Simply put they
Weren't all there for me, and I felt like they were unable to kind of adapt or really trying
Yo, I think that afternoon. Good evening. Good evening
It felt like they were so much more comfortable they had a beautiful people
How's the paper X game, you know, I was thinking about it as I was going to bed and I was like
like yeah we lost but end of the day like when has paper X been like super clean into
split like as long as they figure it out later it doesn't matter I would rather us lose now
than later so I'm okay with it and then honestly Gen G like to lose the Gen G like I'm happy
for Genji. Yup, thank you to Tier 1. It's all good. Hi Kimmy. City 1? I know. Trust me,
I woke up and I was very tilted. The first headline that I saw when I woke up was City
trounce the blues. Really? James, thank you for the pride.
Why are bros standing on boxes, yeah?
It's a view, thank you, thank you. Thanks for your 11 months. Hello.
This is where Cloud9's run begins, by the way.
by GG
That boy Ryan shirky is different
He is disgusting like I can't even hate he is so good
Probably my favorite player to watch right now in the Premier League even though he's a city player
He's stupid good. Well, I'm excited to see it and also I don't want to scare you but
ZP side thing of the prime man, are you gonna be boing boing on club nine today brother?
We are gonna be on day
We are going to be on cloud nine and dig
What's my title?
Is it choke nine actually? Yo, KB! Stop! Fix it!
They're on the recipe or on the menu rather owner said the same thing after kickoff that he didn't want the team flying that slow
But I want to highlight just have slow work. We're supporting cloud nine
Incredibly decisive no more choke nine. No. No, how do you know that was me cuz you would be G2 and you hate cloud nine
My mom's have their own little biases biases is this biases or biases
What utilities happening first one of the second year two two one you've said a bit of thing utility a
No, the first one biases
15 seconds go finally they contact space into me
Decision they these people fucking
Why do you think EG is so bad right on what do you think they need to fix to perform better?
basically and what every team always needs to fix communication
positioning like
Closing out rounds that they have advantages in mid-rounding and not reacting off the opponent instantly
Because right now. Yeah, one thing I actually had to have noticed that teams have never done in the in past
At least not that I've watched okay, and all the time that I've watched party and played I have never seen teams
Do you know when like they'll see a triple push C and they'll insta react a teams aren't doing that anymore
more like on on their own attack sides. They're really good at like recognizing. Okay, they just push C.
They're going to leave C and instantly go A now and they react to the opponent's second move,
which is going to be over sacking A because they just push C. They're assuming that the opponent
is going to overreact it. So I like that teams are doing that more. That's kind of like a segue
from what teams need like EG needs to do but those kinds of things EG needs to
get on top of it with those kinds of things you know calling wise I just got
some subs sorry I gotta thank ice Karim thank you the prime and Santa thank
you the prime Mary film thank you dancing dino thank you and low-key
He's Loki-O, she thinks you're one.
What up, Guilty?
How you doing, man?
I also love that they're just doing like zoomers.
That's so loud.
Okay, bring it up.
I wonder if it's like if you won the piss, or if you won the knife round, then you get to pick what the next one is.
I do it like that, if I was playing on that.
Okay, keep it coming into this.
Oh, you're right.
It's kind of fun.
Thank you for that
Thank you for that
XZXOXO
Thank you
Hi Lily, how you doing?
Bacon Munch, thank you for the prom
Guys I haven't eaten yet
Very hungry
And Selena made banana bread
And I smell so good out there
I can't go outside
Chicken nuggets
Nice job, I don't know.
Yeah, Neon has to be tight about that one.
Okay, there you have it. Neon gets the dub, Leviathan will get the first pick there and
Uncure is bugged or do you actually have
317 viewers right now? I might actually have 317 viewers, which is great because I can read all the comments.
These are interesting just because there's there's always-
Yesterday I made myself look like a little bit of a fool, which is really rare. You guys know me.
I rarely make myself look like a fool, but yesterday was rough man. I was shit talking Gen G and they fucked us
This is a big game. These two teams I would say are also comparatively near one another when it comes to
Standings and the bubble and like qualifying for London. What did she say?
But I think Cloud9 is clearly higher right now, and I think it's also important to know if it's still for Cloud9.
Machu? Thank you for the crime. What's up, man?
Name three solo leveling characters.
Emily has to know what to write.
Song Jin-Lu?
Evers?
Fantastic.
Dang!
No shadows? You didn't say no shadows. Those are characters. Hey!
Don't hate the player.
They are characters.
confirmed you did pick leds.
All mighty brave they're gonna prompt.
Name three S rank Hunters.
Okay, Seng Jin Wu.
In the community, they felt like C9.
Fuck, what's the Chinese guy?
Who wins?
Who wins?
Who's the white guy?
Who's the main strong guy?
She's not going to win.
Alright friends, that's gonna do it for us here.
But we got two great matches that are about to take place on that stage.
So let's get our first one on the way to his plot line.
Chahim.
Chahim.
Chahe.
PCT America starts right now.
And Thomas André.
Bang!
Thomas is not S-rank.
Oh, he's national.
Fuck.
Fuck.
You're right.
You're actually right. You're such a nerd for calling me out on that though.
I'm definitely excited to be playing Love First, it seems we have their number.
Name 5, Attack on Titan characters, Levi, Eren, Mikasa, John, and I always choke on the
That's that one, yeah.
Um...
Erwin.
Fuck Armin.
Ja- Jaun.
J- Jaun.
Jaun.
Gene.
Oh, fuck it, Gene.
Y'all need to be exactly who I was talking about.
decent amount of confidence you cheated I'm literally staring at my screen you
guys are here how could I have cheated they 10 hunter hunter character hi
lucky hello how are you no chief suited in but that's okay we're supporting
cloud guys today yeah okay 10 hunter hunter characters gold he'll help he
So come
That's a real he made a promise with him at the start of the year that he's going to take cloud nine to their first
And this is the first step to making that happen in London
Bro
Coropico
ITS LEVIAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
What the fuck is that guy in the dad? The bad dad? The dad dick?
They've been chasing it for like 3 seasons.
Umm
Oh my god, I forgot that's including for them.
THAT IS SAD!
No, that is sad.
During that offseason all of the nanos around this team is about their style. There's no doubt that they have some of the best talent coming out of
Tier 2. This is a who's who of up-and-coming powers all over America.
Piccolo, Krillin, Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, Android 18, Cell, Kuu, um, Hitch, and um, Yamcha.
That's too easy. Balance too easy.
Hey guys, again, not seeing Frasher at all.
Yeah, what the hell, man? That's just me.
It's got messed up. I didn't see it at all.
JJ K?
I feel like it could be really good.
Yeah.
Looking at that first half of the time, I think that's an interesting pick.
Megamine?
Cloud 9.
Go Joe?
Zucanor
Um, Yuta
Cockroach
Who's, who's Yugi's actual brother?
The guy that says the blood one, that thing, I don't remember his name.
Oh, Joko as well?
Um, Hanami?
this narrative of hate. We have your number. Fuck, I forgot the lawyer's name too. I got it.
It's not every single time, so it's really going to be interesting to see how love has kind of
come back into it. Maybe it's in a certain way. In terms of Miggie Cher, there's also a little bit
quicker. A little bit faster using that firepower to the best of its ability. I wonder
if it comes with a new pump. Both exist, oh shit. I think that what these users are
They both had the solo duelist
Chozo, that's the guy
Bro, I thought you heard my name?
I thought I heard my name, uh
Dr. Stone, I didn't watch that for like
Alright, long enough
Well, Lee, thank you for the gift, man. I appreciate it
You said Dragon Ball Z characters?
You mean only Dragon Ball characters?
Are you braindead? Who remembers 10 Dragon Ball characters?
I watched that series. I'm pretty sure of diapers.
And Oxy really working together here in Tandem, right?
Yeah. They're really good at setting him up, but the other side characters.
Oh, Southo and the Beanies!
Leech characters? I can't. I actually can't.
Outside of U2Glo and Isam.
It's all confusing that Neon isn't playing Neon, and it's pretty scary.
Yamamoto?
It will forever not mess me up.
I can't stand it.
I don't know what they're doing.
Urahara?
But this is very fascinating.
That Phoenix is going to be Urahara.
Urahara?
That play Andrew, right?
I'm hoping that there's another one.
Urahara is another one, right?
The girl?
They need to play a lot slower.
I think that's trouble.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
Five skeets.
It's crappy in a good way though both teams coming out of kickoff wanting to be more aggressive wanting to find a base strategy
Where they're fighting the last animation from my right that they're getting in scrims to put that on to the stage
No, honestly, I've heard what he's really good
The only reason I've never watched it is because it's too long now like I can't sit there and catch up on the whole show
I don't think I'm like I don't want to do that
Alright, walk in, walk in, walk in, everyone stop.
You guys get distracted too easily, and then I get distracted because you guys get distracted.
And it fucks everything.
Yeah, yeah guys, I'm gonna read something that I'm not gonna watch for things like this episode.
That's what's gonna happen.
Motherfuckers said, read it.
Absurd.
Cloudionizing!
Kay, and it gets out. Place passive.
We're over rotating through spawn, no flank, but that's okay.
We have Art Control, we have Spawn Control.
Kind of.
Here, we win the round right here.
Here we go, we win the round right here.
Bang.
Wait.
Are all my teams gonna lose?
Is everyone that I support gonna lose?
They can't, they give them a prime.
That's pretty good movement and spikes in by himself.
Yeah, Zalcis is going to be the front of this one.
I think the same.
Wait, why are we not clearing the sling?
Nice little stop.
Doesn't even get up to half here, but Penny gets one.
As they know, we're going to be closing in for May-May now.
That's enough.
C9 doesn't know where to look outside the smoke.
Leath played it nice and calm.
And it's a great way to show the opening here
and what Leviton brings to their table.
As we were mentioning at the desk,
we may get confused with Neon playing at Chamber
and Spike playing at Neon.
But in general, Spike is a Neon.
We'll talk to you, thank you, so far.
Chill, chill, everyone chill the fuck out, alright?
It's pistol round.
I'm telling you, this is Cloud9's season.
I know you don't believe me yet.
Catch me if you can, I think it's your win, man.
They have three months already, thank you, thank you.
So that is their game plan to go toe-to-toe with the strongest fighters that they currently have for Cloud9.
It was something they got to refine a little bit, right? And kick off, they played the 50-50 with PXS.
Even you don't believe yourself, I swear to God.
I thought that was gonna be a kill right away.
One for one is not bad. Let's kill this guy. Let's kill this guy.
A is pushed, gathered by Cloud9, but lost!
Better late than never, honestly. This is fucking...
...this king takes down a few before he falls to Zepa.
You can't have a Cloud9 game or a Cloud9 composition.
Try to stay in the front.
Do you think C9 is better than 100 games though?
There is no way for me to make that statement.
We have not watched both teams play it.
I need to watch Cloud9 today
and I'll give you an honest, objective answer.
Named five current players on the crew.
Sadak Les
they're still looking silence doesn't mean I can't pick one up spikes able to
slide and provide on the last one penny goes down to for life here let's see if
they can control the bonus rounder c9 has a trick up this week and this is
that I'm always there I forgot about moves that I don't say that's too
about those make it sure you're doing everything on me see I know I'm
surprised I got silence I'm not gonna lie kickoff they lost so many of these
These egos against and thrifties against a hundred thieves going in our lower bracket
It was a gauntlet that they had before they got eliminated. Can you name five players on Dungeon that third map dandy overall?
Francis the protocols are there for C9 on this map of pearl as Emily mentioned before
It should be something they also know a little bit of what the Phoenix wants to do
Ivy how do I forget Ivy a bit of an inkling of what that actually bring that and provide and attacking these sites
Yeah, I got it. X-RxRB. I got it.
BIKING THE FACE OF BIT!
It looks like the control is there for lead, but quickly C9's...
Please, give me one more kill. Do not get bonus, or else I lose all my stock.
...waiting for the peeks, I'll assist.
Nice Jordan, good jiggle.
Fine, behind, behind!
...play as it can cost.
Oh, can you see him on Raito?
Did they know that a little bit of a backstab is there?
The traitors are still coming through, but everybody's looking internally down long,
and it's gonna be enough for Neon to solidify the bonus round.
Why is it so clean?
Okay, you're lucky I'm lucky and actually I'm actually a good aggression
I don't know how that round went down
Why is the entry so clean though?
available for Sawtooth and immediately going forward for that clock.
The thing is, is for the side of top 9, you're really good at these, what retakes 2 or just
finding timing to not allow yourself to really set up.
So you did kind of force and will block, let me at times.
This guy said, I don't know why I'm happy, I don't care who wins, because you're just
happy C9 is losing, I know you, I can already tell who you are.
Continue with the same open, the recon are just appear towards that pillar and continue
to challenges or and I like it because if you're looking at the comp for C9 if
you're trying to go toward the A side and tail's playing more towards art you
could actually salvage that side it's really is that spot you have default
astra stars to be able to put usually on this side over here to deny that
early info what do you do now will use outside of Harvard all to focus on the
B side or for Sato is actually quite nice because what usually happens for the
defense it's maybe a jayver solo holding on that side and they're
They're expecting C90 to get pretty active in the last set up to receive this.
They're already in B, working the other side of the strat.
Recovery!
And Neon takes down Oxy quick to make sure that they don't lose too many guns in this
little mid-battle.
Okay, well their chamber is also farming, their Nulis has gotten entries, and now
they hunt.
Okay, yeah, just pause, it's fine, it's fine, pause, pause, and then explain things
In words that people can actually understand if you don't get your accent and might as well have artists as your coach
Levin crew are qualifying for London, okay, sure thing
No pause no pause we got faith in the teams. Let's go. We have sky office. Well penny on all
They're playing it fairly passively and maybe see line at this is a must win the round or we are fucked
Okay, a little bit of B pressure
That's okay. That's fine. And he's got the kill remember the neon lurk. Okay. We have a chamber trip. Nevermind. We're good
See nine still gonna hold steady on this just a rotation from the neon on oxy as you expect
They don't want to get too out of place here, and you love to see that right three players and condition that same
Recon to get orb control get the five round script. Oh, you're right actually
They're running back from soccer
From C9 and still it doesn't bother the viet on
Crazy stuff they're gonna wait now for C9 to come back through with this is going
to be a trek coast to coast for king to see if he can get any help on this as the
seekers come through fast lane gives oxy and entrance into the site they look
straight one for one really bro okay winnable nice nice Jordan has this
guy Jordan has this guy right where he wants him wait this guy's like hold off
the path here beautiful beautiful to a lot to a lot to alive get up get up
Get up
Looks like another round rule of Vieton had the answer but I'm happy with five rounds
We lost this song happy with five rounds and bonus like his walks along the beach
But at the same time when the seekers come out very difficult for him to find this timing
Because you saw that see that was definitely accelerating at that point
Love the entries the overaggression coming out from slightly
But this is the type of telegraph stuff that were explaining a lot and a lot of cool
Why is he not supporting C9? Because I'm not enough of this shit, yeah?
They got it. They're the only team that haven't qualified.
I don't know if it's pity support, but I do fuck with the players, have you?
Huge!
Huge hold!
Wakey wakey, love.
online and it's basically a five versus three pretty much when they're fighting
for that a main control because you already forced the line out of these
three things rarely work because the box angle is so hard to clear but they were
just out in the open yeah and if this is the type of game that we're expecting
to see because of this new meta see a lot of productivity around me on a lot of
Toad sniffer, thank you for your one, man.
I'll be back to Val after four years.
How did the mess rise to the wash party scene?
I just did it.
Four years is crazy, man.
Holy fuck.
This guy's starting to get me off.
We have money though. We save here, we can buy next. It's all good.
Five rounds is the target.
Rx thinking of the prime and red sucks, then taking the prime.
The other thing in the prime.
Can we nerf Neon? I think they're working on that.
You're doing the same exact entry on every site it's working, it's just, if an op is
posted on you and you miss that shot, the neon can just run you down.
So they need a second guy in every site.
Always.
At least Cloudran isn't getting like instant entry.
Until they exit.
Not dying one at a time.
obviously it's not just the Phoenix but cheese. Thank you
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I didn't see that. I'm just gonna go
I'm gonna need a I'm gonna need penny to start frying on the chamber
So kind of seeing them fall prey to this and the fast hits once they come through
It's just not an answer
Nismo played Akko, thank you for that
Oh, it's here once, sorry, thank you
I will tell you how, Vanessa
And I had been hoping he can get rid of that old ass disgusting mic
So his streams can be bearable
And then the goat took over the... wait, what?
You guys don't miss my old mic?
Spikes been fearless on it. You mentioned earlier it's got one of those prospects
We thought was he gonna explode and I think the first set with 2g kind of gave him the footing to
Realize what he could do on the stage what he's going to be up against. Would you give it willing to go back to the old bike?
I don't remember what it was
We're getting that super king
I wouldn't say back, but definitely there
They definitely as you know, they're a very young tail Neal and all
So we can do like a retake play somewhere we can just pull play retake on a side as well
They were in a fighting
We'll shout at the front and we didn't think at the front. Go win C9
That's what I'm talking about. Can we show some support to the one team that hasn't made it one time?
It's gonna be toxic every day
Yeah, we can slide too, brother. We can slide the same way you can.
Uh, are we gonna keep pushing? Obviously, I don't want you to get rid of this advantage,
but I do believe in you to get this kill. Yeah, nah, he's nasty. He gets away as
well wait okay if they can't win this round for oxy he needs to leave his
team I said it
trying to work it together here but you could definitely see that they were
trying to win this round clean five players converting back maybe that even
four once come on come on let's take one for once the ace everywhere
I mean to be fair he was stuck in a main because if he walks back there could be a guy walking down art on him
Okay they found both, they saw both
Now they're so separated there's a guy flanking
players a leviathan are posted up in a smoke plan
As they're perfectly set up here for this crossbar on site. I mean, Nick is reliable though. Nick is very reliable from these
angles away get the 1v1 they want
And he is gonna buy that time. This is the only kill that's needed
Are you kidding me? Why are we just like not clearing correctly?
And now it's just up the penny to move in
Why didn't he clear it like that?
Where the angles he needs to be checking for K for him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no jinx. No jinx there
That was weird walk walk clear every corner and win every duel a mistake came out there for Zelsis
He had a full kit still salvo said an armageddon decide to contest here on that one view one
No, this is spot. Yeah flowers. He got them three keen clean kills
This was the round and then we just died one at a time
That is unacceptable. That is genuinely unacceptable.
Look at how much space they just gathered from all that.
Penny's getting owned on these entries as well.
one of them just ran through a different lane crossed out got some math they need five rounds
yes i'm telling you they need five rounds okay fine we'll take four who better than penny you have
to give him that responsibility he is the offer for the team he has to get at a free jail card
from that tp set up port screens at that b site but he lost that to neon and this gives a time
right now let's get off stream here the next shanks first of all don't compare me to that
second
This is not on me them taking 1v1s all over the place is not on me
We're one up
We don't need to do anything sure fast Val is great, but they're playing it safe
And that's how they're gonna collect more rounds. We still have to hurry up though
Cuz remember Zelsis still had the full kit from that previous rounds
Oh my god
This is it
enough for a second kill we know it's got can they get him out his 2v2 was what
the round is broken down to peak peak pick the kill
seconds as life tries to break their way back in blows on one in this
she made a way planted here no way Levin pulls away with this round as well
right with everything that c9 had set up on this round already known where he's
going to be the safe pair of hands was big holy thank god
Oh my god, thank god.
Did he think the timer was way lower than it was?
Or did he just want to read reset?
Wow, we didn't even see him.
Huge rounds up, a huge fucking round.
I would guess someone called no time. I think so too. I think he someone had to have said time and then he jumped away
Laser focus for sure. There's no way he doesn't fight there. Otherwise C9 can't all be oxy
You wanted to star and suck off Bob
You think
Yeah, puts the verdict straight down on him
Let's go Leo. Let's go. We'll take four.
Okay. It's stable now. We've stabilized. That's start, but Leven didn't take advantage. We have stabilized.
Oh, oh, that's what he did. Okay.
Ok.
Besides this last round here.
I get it though.
He either accepts that he gets pushed, or he pushes into him.
And takes the 1 for 1.
If Oxy pushes into him, he probably dies.
I mean, you're used to luck there.
Big read. Big read.
I like that mid fight. Good call, good call, good call, good call.
Oh my god, we're pushing more. We're pushing more.
Big kill here, Vic. That's what I'm talking about. That's what
I'm talking about.
Wait a minute!
Not as free!
I mean, I went in for an odd kill, didn't expect a second person.
You saw everybody thinking the space was safe and it wasn't.
They're still able to come up with a round though.
This is something else.
I think you even got that hit before that wall came up onto Vic.
That's just unfortunate for a Vic side, but that should have been a free kill
for Zelsis.
What a shot.
That's when you know you need to make the shot, but you think about it and that's what
stops you from making it.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Okay, five rounds.
Five rounds.
Okay, forget about it.
Both Penny and the young friar and Sato, Sato's winning it by a small margin.
Oh, God.
And that's good enough to get back in.
Look at the vision.
Look at his B-Sight.
Oxygen is falling down.
Here comes the ult.
Here comes the ult.
Here comes.
Here comes.
Oh my God.
Jordan.
Why so early?
Nothing has happened for you to hold that.
Trying a little bit of time here, but it honestly, Lev might like what they just saw
since they can safely get to this side.
Why?
Actually, why?
They made a lot of noise.
And the drone now gives his position away, so we have to escape his body.
We'll take more, we'll take more, we'll take more.
Let's move on to attack side.
They're still pushing towards back, unrelenting as he goes into the short end.
We want to attack, it's okay.
Holy smoke and misplay of a round.
They'll be able to get these rounds, but Leve just seems to strike right back.
Dude, this is looking good for Levitan so far.
Fast pace, fast tempo, mid-rounding, without an IGL, they're still within their fights.
Off again, coming down to low fraggers.
Really bad for C9 though, because they will for sure lose to Envy next week, which will put them 0-2.
Maybe. I've been around long enough to know that that's what I'm saying.
But I'm going to give you credit for the attempt.
have the same. We just have not seen that yet from them. Really nice shot by left follow
them up on everything they needed to do with the sight hits. It looks so calm throughout
this first half. But they're the second one to go and we'll see if someone can come
back when they get the attack side.
Relax. Four rounds is not like undoable. We win pistol, eight six. After that, Jesus
take the wheel. Keep smiling, Kimmy. Watch this comeback. Yeah, Penny's low key getting
fucked. He's gotten like an entry to law. Let me see. Three times only. I thought it
more than that but yeah he is he's low-key getting fucked but if he picks it up specifically
on the lurks on the tax side here we'll be alright.
Pissed for round.
We need a nice piss round on a penny.
2k.
Oh I'm asking for 2 kills.
Co-set, they give me the prime.
This is your dark horse?
Yes, Miguel.
Thanks for the tier 1.
Clipper, they give you the prime.
Yes it is.
My dark horse.
They just need some time to get off the line, you know?
Give them some time.
Monkey Monch, name the prime.
What happened to PaperX last night?
It's okay.
It's okay.
For PaperX it's always like a bumpy road, always.
It's never clean.
An 8-4 first half here for Leviathan, able to repair some of the rounds that C9 was in their face
and ultimately get to the site quite easily throughout the rounds and hold that defense down.
So we'll see if C9 has an answer for it.
I say I think it's your one.
It starts to set up for more even game.
Yeah, exactly, man.
Drop everyone but Oxy.
Simmer down brother. It was first half of the new split
One map so far half a map. Let's see how the rest of this goes. Okay, can they adjust?
You're star offer for this roster for this map at least and hopefully he finds redemption in the second half
As seen on our looking for light, but so is levioton
Crazy flash. Let's go
with something right for the ante there
No.
No.
Oh my god, jump away, nice.
Nice.
You know this should be on you.
Nice.
It's okay, it's okay.
Half HP, but that's okay.
We're alive.
Where is- where are you, Jerv on this?
looking at every angle he could come from. Yeah, the U2 was so nice for Leviton. Even
though that flash was shallow, the follow-up that really bolt from Spike stuns so many players
that allowed Leviton to flood back through the double doors. Zelsens will have to try
to clutch now with the Spike at least in his vision. Oh my God, they have to reman-gold.
That's like, you're just dead. They're pushing. You're missed! Oh no! That takes
a little bit of time before it comes out, but, I mean, you gotta try what you gotta
try, right? You know they're gonna be grouped up. You already found an exit or a backstab,
way in and that they were definitely playing more around the arms so good reason to approach
me just not quick enough for the kills.
Ooh.
They're playing okay.
So they kind of, they swarm again.
I always felt like an attack side from the defense.
Okay.
Not, not ideal.
King is 16 and 5.
It's very dangerous here for Leviton because where everybody critiques Leviton is how slow their attack side is, but you finish the half in the lead.
in the lead on your attack side and now people could just run into your crosshair in your aim
we're in we're in we're in for free five hundred to be coordinated very coordinated
in these oh my god this is the freest ballpoint of all time zero hp loss there is a world
site there is a world basic play we're playing out and now do the damage penny please penny please
penny please okay round over spikes arts to sweep that rug out from under c9 speed
And now they're just gonna be able to stick them all along
Tell me this is just a joke of an agent
The confidence in LabVid is nice to see though that they're just going for these and they're not kind of
hesitating or worrying
There should be no hesitation
And you're starting to see this place on the road like that
Yo girl, I think C9 is going to Master's not helping you piss me off right now
Just sit there and watch it
Not everything has to have an opinion, you know what I mean?
Previously the slides are quite simple
Relay ball try to go for a slight tackle kill, but now it's a lot of selfish move as well to take the space for your team and look at the
follow behind
Two players with the
Role wasn't built in a day, but in Cloud9's case, I don't know if it'll ever be built, they delayed construction for so fucking long
So it just gets a free kill with the judge right after
It's the ultimate wide swing
Yep, very annoying dealings
the
construction nine
and
please please don't get one of the scale of the police,
One kill maybe just return the favor 20 on this before
Let's just read it's so free they got a flood only chance they have a sledding here
Okay
Traged trades take your time take our time to pull good. Oh good. Good missile. He's gonna peak
Pre kill. Great. So yes. We know our last guys W missiles
Let's just get bomb down. Perfect. I'll just wait for him.
Beautiful. 3-1. This is where it begins.
This is where it begins. You're gonna blink and it's gonna be 10 to 10.
I'm starting to see this too, like a very similar outlook to C9 starting off on the B side
and same responsibility, you have the Japer on the other end, Neon has come up huge
I think it's a fighter bonus from in that round so they couldn't really get the best weapons for Neon yet
for him to hold that line when Neon...
But if it continues in the same type of storyline of pressuring the weak sides and Neon is not landing the first shot
you might see a very similar finish in the second half now for C9 and the G-Files
B pressure with double Earth commit
to make this game close rather right up to the line is to admit again is
leviathan my god this is perfect this is perfect is not pushing through oh my god
this is perfect they hear a drone we break the trip no audio find that
thank that is beautiful for me penny you locked in don't throw away this pick
do not throw away this advantage we just regroup and hit a site together to get
the initial rotation in the time they're taking it's oxy taken down
for a moment but still C9 here can choose where to go and they have the weak side to the left
if they want to choose it we have time to talk about it now as they drill down towards a long
B side and they realize that neon is not opio not spotted okay he's probably working on the A side
but then after what's the openings we've been seeing from leviton early in these rounds if
you're looking to fight it's a phoenix flash so they waited and spawn chill it's okay it's okay
astras alone neon to rotate but the whole space chamber is going to be very late so was
gonna be very late on this pop. This is actually really good. It's very good guys.
Bang. Good stuff.
Yeah, so yeah, just not so good. We want to hit him.
and
a right up until the last second
C9 looks like they are just around the player round
he's dancing
And this is a scary part of leviathan as well. You're always
As many rounds as we can we warm up for him. I don't know. I don't know what this is disappointing though
Like is able to just now when oxy is able to get three kills dies
It's a clean 4v2 everyone can reposition
And you found both of the players and you're actually they only knew where one guy was
And you still lose you deserve to lose them out
They got on the rotation that is an unacceptable
There wasn't an insert their street because then they gave up the map went back to be and everyone would be no to prom
Can't fall in one spot, you know doesn't really allow for somebody to slow them into the prime spike from flying back in like that
Yeah, I think the other thing too is a little good. Yeah, they obviously look good spikes
It's entering like a god
So makes it you should have done it if anything it allows for them to have a screw second layer
Rodrigo, Rodrigo? Yeah, Rodrigo, they are here.
Okay, Kimmy. Yes, I think they will improve over the course of the season.
The one time where they were able to pause things very similar to how levietan was after the ruckus slow things down
See who overextends and it could maybe punish it
I think that could be another look in an outlook that you have to really try to you guys understand
They never qualified right habits in the franchising era
The problem is the only team in America is that it's yet to qualify fury. I did it before them
We need them to qualify or they lose their goddamn spot trying to get back in let's hear with the oh boy work
I don't like that. I don't like the octaves. I don't like the octaves that we're using. We're too quiet
I'm not often then you're right actually that's pitch volume
Beautiful communication. I'm not even gonna lie
No place
Great calls which is great, but it was a little bit too early
So you're too good for still able to flood out here for levion time. Thankfully, you're able to hold that back site
But when they had to come in occasion between big and
So you got me missiles. No, I don't have this is but I have also okay. Do you want me to suck first?
You want me to all right?
instead they're very locked in on the miss calm that could be to bring back in
favor of leviton but thankfully those players in the back of the hallway
stayed alive here to save that round for saying I like the fact of the way to get
to spike was to have somebody in the same spot just with a shotgun now too much
bouncing on time okay take out back calls on the lower by two they have
what two rifles in a we have a stinger and it works have we put any pressure in
Also the ultimate for any pressure in a minute right now because they have three
Don't tell me we're just gonna exact here
Nice
We're okay. We're okay. We're okay for their aggression as they go. We went back to middle
I think this is kind of the the entire identity. We've seen from them from the start
They may be worried that lives gonna make a pounce move at any time
We're gonna fake an art hit into a B split.
Or we just hit A, we just hit A and let Astro be playing.
I'm okay with that as well.
36 seconds.
Yeah, okay, A's good, A's good, A's good, A's good.
A's good. Only problem is we don't know if this guy made it or not.
No, he didn't. No, he did not. He did it.
Leverage is going to start overdrive.
King comes in with a kill from the right side.
This is the lower by the C9's last round.
Penny keeps it alive for a moment here.
But he is treading some heavy water right now.
Going to go into blows.
He knows blows backs up 10 seconds.
Going to need that time to plant.
And he's just going to be able to stare him straight in the eyes.
Oh my gosh.
Okay
We are distracted for that guy to push double doors everything Jordan called their work
We just this kill has to be done
Any contact is sold that big with the wall.
Zephyr had to win that fight against Neon.
Had first shot forced it, lifted,
and that drops the spike.
It now forces C9 to stand to push all over the place.
And because Levitan already got that first pick,
you don't need to rotate anybody yet.
This guy said Rix C9 2019 to 2026.
So all of them getting dismantled
when they had such good, such good
magnitude at the beginning.
Unfortunately, another one of those thriftied,
Just plain to say, I mean they had to worry about A name though.
The whole point was to pressure A, maybe even tap bomb as a fake, and then go street to B.
But Zepp on this is kill, and lost bomb.
So everything was, the jig was up.
Brother, I mean he's trying to do too much, but adding Blaine into 12-6.
Oh dear lord, how mercy on my soul.
Die.
did go in C-on's favor the last one to play against each other on pearl and has
looked good with spike is not there yes my good one as the anger not afraid to
swing through to pick up some fights not afraid to over extend with the off as
well and I was I was scared too because we're looking at the skirmish you have
oxy playing against neon and he on sorry off the off you kind of just let
it warm up into the game so you should have changed the strategy a little bit
there but hopefully determined to keep his core c-line for the next map.
They were running and if there's one thing that is starting to become real after that game
is that Leviathan is adding aggression to their gameplay.
We're gonna see how the second map turns out. Don't go anywhere.
More BCT Americans after this.
Good thing is, even if they get dropped, they can just remake the same lineup.
But they just won't get paid.
And just play again.
I mean, I already said it, bro, the oxy round at A, that was the momentum shifting round.
If they win that round cleanly, when he pushed their main and killed three, dude, I am telling
you that half is completely different, and Cloud9 actually give themselves a chance.
Losing that round, however, is the opposite effect.
That is very bad to lose that round.
Why won't they get paid?
Because they wouldn't be in an org.
I said, literally, if they get dropped, they can still play and open the qualifiers
next year.
Why do people still believe in Sen this much?
I mean, I believe in Cloud9, so don't ask me.
I feel like I'm digging myself a bigger hole than these Sen fans have.
Basically the answer is blind faith.
Is Zemecina's biggest issue lack of firepower?
I mean, kind of in this game at least.
felt like Penny was getting Diffed a lot in the 1v1s. If those 1v1s go their way instead,
they're able to, you know, reposition themselves, play the advantages and win rounds, but it
didn't feel that way. Like, it did feel like it was a little bit of a Diff. But that's
not always the case. They do have, like, shooters on the scene.
Can we get some blind faith on the Furia match too? No, that's just NRG. That's just straight up NRG, no?
Furia is good. Don't get me wrong. I got an instant to be close, but I think NRG just wins.
Celsus's IGL has no type of depth. Is that something that comes with time? Yes, but also I don't
even blame his IGLing for that loss. Like the perfect example is that round right there where
they were walking art with 36 seconds left. The plan I guarantee you was to fake an A
exec, tap the bomb because they were afraid of A main. They can't re-clear A main without
that little time, like, efficiently.
And then go back to B.
Remember last time, that guy walked right into Zeppelin's hands, which is exactly what
they wanted, and he missed the shot.
And you said that the team, first of all, needed more time, and that you didn't necessarily
agree with it.
So now we got to see that playstyle that you've been preparing.
What was the preparation like after kickoff to make sure that everything is looking as
clean as it is right now?
You know, the last time that you asked that question, we were losing.
time that the team lose it seems like a little bit more passive and right now we are winning so of
course we're looking more aggressive. For this team this is actually the first tournament of the year
that we complete like a whole process of the preparation you know the kickoff was difficult
for us in that sense so I think that the boys are like more relaxed and more prepared and they
They are coming fast and mean it looks pretty fine and they look so explosive. Thank you so much
Good look it also the other thing about Jordan like I'm not trying to like cope or defend
I'm just giving you an IGL's perspective
It is fucking really hard when you're down 4v5 every round like there were many rounds
Gun rounds where Kenny's getting picked off very early someone getting picked off very early with no possible
No possibility of a trade
Not only do you lose that player you also lose the entire area that player was holding so map control and
Then you have to as an in-game leader or as a player on the team
compensate for that
So
I'm not gonna blame IG yelling for that that whatever we just witnessed that is just they played bad straight up
I'd like all together. They just played bad. They they gave up too many advantages where they had advantages
they didn't take advantage of it. It was just bad. Lev just owned them. Legit IGL fault them. I feel
like you have a peanut for a brain. Like negative critical thinking skills. Like just not.
into the squad and just take the 1v1.
That's not the percentage, but that's not what,
as a coach, you're telling your players to do.
But those kind of risks are what can close out games for you
and bring you back into games.
Yeah, GL should tell Penny not to swing that much.
They lost so many first skills.
Cloud9 had so many advantages.
Yeah, tell a player that's obviously lacking in confidence
because he's missing fights,
that he needs to start playing like a big dish.
And that confidence that willingness to take these risks
felt completely absent in their run to kickoff.
We also did have some big individual performances as well.
We of course hyped this guy because he deserves to be hyped neon, playing the chamber of course,
but the thing is that the knight even needs to win the numbers as well.
On the opposite side though, the chamber on the c9 side is not finding those same-
Look, I'm not the kind of person that's going to fucking make a campaign against someone
getting caught.
I just can't do it.
I already know the guy probably feels like shit me adding to that it's just
it's just it's just it's not worth it from a conscience perspective I was
literally hyping up about how impactful I thought the swap was originally like I
understand the arguments like I understand the arguments for keeping
penny because he has shown really good level and I also understand the arguments of having
even one. It just depends on what the team. The reason I am not able to say this isn't
just because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings. The reason I'm not able to like
speculate on who should get cut and who shouldn't is because it really does matter like what
that player brings to the team outside of their fragging. If he's an insane calmer, if he can come
back and like, next map and just start frying, like he's mentally like, ready for tier one,
it's different. Like we don't know a lot of things, the intangibles, we just don't know
what this player like brings outside of just killing people. So because of that, for me to
sit here and be like, okay, Penny needs to go. You know, it's, it's such a like a random statement
with very little info to back anything up. So that's the other reason why.
All I heard is Penny needs to go. Okay. Based on what we were watching to the way that Penny was
lane back chamber felt like a lot of the time the reason I understand the demon one argument is because
there are certain players when they're on the market we all do you don't want to risk losing
them to another team and not taking them to where the angles he was holding just wasn't the best
but like that's how good he is a good job of punishing those extremity players punishing
the phoenix trying to get that work towards aiming and that's what i was talking about earlier
where c9 they did do a good job when they did have a trap play towards the right side of the
But arguably they did the exact same thing with the Rolls-Royce, except Oxy was getting so much more impact with that off on Chamber.
You said that about Vic and Bob replacing Andy players yesterday.
Honestly, I don't know. They lost no fucking assistant coach.
And I didn't name a player that needs to get caught on Andy.
But do you think maybe their scrims were just like, so nice, so easy to go?
Well, we'll never know.
They got some intel on their scrims that gave them the comfort to make the switch again.
it's one map. Oh, excuse it for now where they're extreme circumstances of a team. Well,
playing ignore a certain call from their idea. They don't believe in the calling. Yes, there
are players that are every single player on the team is allowed to cancel a call. If he
is 100% sure based on the information he has, that is the wrong call. Like if I
make a call, like, you know, I think they're stacked a we need to go be here, but
my lurker is literally walking into being goes. I mean, or like, you know, I mean,
I said that the other way around, but if he's walking to be and he sees the stack there or something
Then he can over call me for example
So that we're going to be playing they're both incredibly flexible players they can play whatever and we've seen it in a few matches
But what is the decision making for who is going to play what in this situation?
We just tried we tried out both and obviously he's been dropping 30s as he does
So and Penny's also been playing really well, but these guys just had a plan where they just run us down
and we lost a lot of
advantages that we shouldn't have lost so
What should we expect going into Haven?
Hopefully not more of the same hopefully a little bit different, but I'm hoping for a map 3. Thank you so much
I mean, you know coaching me
frustrated about those mistakes that cloud nine
Making let me down on the other hand everyone besides oxy and big who would you pick up other teams time there?
Of course, so I'm taking big. I'm taking even one for yet to be I'm not trolling
But I'm doing it with the expectation that they want to win. We actually do like they are locked in
They're gonna play eight to ten hours a day. They're fucking maximum
No joke
I know what it was, I just made a piece on April Fool's.
They made a copy of Baffler.
They did it on March 28th at 6.30.
All right, listen, listen, listen.
This is a complete hypothetical.
I'm not saying this should happen.
But if they do make changes, you
can have Victor Wong as your doolist, right?
You're running in dying kind of doolist,
making space doolist, which frees up
oxy to be the secondary, right?
And then you have either demon one in the orier.
Actually, if you keep BIC, nah, you would need like a direct replacement.
Okay, fine. Not yet then. What about Demon 1?
Because Jake hasn't been playing, so...
Ooh, Inspire could be a good fucking pick up, too.
Like this is hypothetical.
Like this is like if they just blow the season.
Like the season is just gone, you know?
Cause if a season is just really bad for cloud nine and they get knocked out in groups,
100% there are changes going to be made.
Like it's just how it is.
That's just how esports is.
Excuse me, holy shit.
Even with Barry, he looked his best post-EG on C9.
He looked at his best post-EG on C9.
That's not true, but I mean I see what you're saying.
You would be good.
Obviously not his best, but I get where you're coming from.
Your overall statement doesn't make any sense, but I see what you're saying.
Welcome back to our second map between the Viet Thanh and Cloud 9.
It is 2.55, or if you're like Mimi, you're standing 24-hour clock.
It's 14.55, and we're ready for our next game.
But you should say 2.55 PM, though.
You have to specify.
Oh, that's true.
If I do say that, see, that's why.
Oh, my gosh.
I've ruined it because it's not going to be four hours.
Maybe we had it right the whole time.
OK, here we are for Agent Select going into Area Haven.
to see how the chess game is going to be played out.
We've seen already how it turned out on Pearl previously,
so we're going to use that again on Haven
for the son of Leibutan.
And I feel like this is also very odor-esque,
where they try to fit the same mold into different maps
and then just try to make that work.
But it works.
We've seen some games that's already
in the past on this very map.
It does defeat this double controller very, very well.
If White's against it, it's very well.
You can't really say that it defeats it very well,
because some teams could still run the double controller
and win, which is why here C9 is still running back
on their end, rolls back to normal for Cloud9,
so nothing out of the box on that side.
The next game, the drones and brosas back to it.
Love to see it.
Masato, he's just ready, locked in focused.
And let's see if Cloud9 can get an answer to this.
I mean, Amy said I hope a lot of that
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I thought about it
Victor okay, would you guys rate Victor and yay would you rate Victor and it cuz yeah, I know you don't
Would you rate them if they played ranked eight hours a day for the next like well, let's look at the entire rest of the year
What's earthy against our last Matthew and you you can see that they wanted five pretty much against yeah
And then the they just had the options basically would be even one day first battle
Right basically would even want to correct their rules and their 1v1 ideal
I'll let him know
Which is the way to go three sheriffs and it goes there with a little bit of armor for Vic. He's got three joints
I don't know. He's a regular. All right
They move in with the spike down across the map here just to get a sense of info
The same thing like the rent said I am flat should I go rank one should I go for rank one give up they want to retake now
Game plan for C9 is definitely to add that pressure on
Donut thing to the prime of because that turret is watching passively
So it doesn't really watch a walk down into garage or into mid
So they actually have to be a little bit more passive in those tables and see what they could break
We break the trip on that a side look at how we're out playing ourselves. Wait. We're not we're not
We're not we're not they think we're in it. Oh my god, what a call Jordan lots of marina marina
Beautiful color
Wait, how'd they get here so fast just a bit of shame. Wait, they were in a how did they get here?
that as the snake bite comes down and that's a quick shot. What? Actually what?
Collected retake here from Lab. It does not seem like they're feeling pressured.
And my mistake is that was saying a five versus five. Was it not walking in today?
I think Tom found the window. Because of that push on that A site and breaking that
the trademark from the chamber over on A site from Leon, they find the timing to say they
should be weak on C site. They'll just flood in as a team. They have you till with
So you're telling me in the one two and a half seconds that I looked at chat
They fucking appear to see from like a link the other two are isolated and they can't do anything for both of them and oxy so
Nice reaction. Oh that is fucking sad
That was a good call a very nice pistol round. He's gonna have a great series so far
Is it mirrors this quality ass? He starts off with two. Why does it look bad?
They're going to go ahead and start focusing ores.
Ready for it with Oxish.
Spike's ready to get him.
The judge wins out, and Spike gets a few kills from self,
still into safety.
Vic was thinking to get to Spike down quick into chaos,
but there's still an answer from Leath to be had.
And now Cloud9.
Waltz is about the map to see if they can find a back.
Any kind of chip damage on this armor.
That's not even really something to have to worry about.
now
just walk in and give your life away to
when i make sure you get the e-card and work with it in the next round
they are locked in, let as good as fuck
penny is trying to at least
waste utile
as you see south to use both of his flashers
they have to make it or they're gonna lose all their jobs man, they have to win
i think they were ready on the side of c9
dried and true of
50 round lower byletters get into the v-site for a plant
Why are we not playing with a little bit of desperation?
Nice for thinking the problem.
If they get a bonus here, this team's dead, bro. I'm telling you now, if they get a bonus right now.
They're just pushing C. They don't have a lurker. It's just a 5-man C hit.
Yep, it's just a C rush.
Orblading spawn.
K, they're in.
Big, big, big, big. Do not get flooded on. Do not get flooded on. Huge.
Huge. What a C hit.
Perfect timing on the Orblading with the Kildren Molly 2. That's a good C exec.
for spike and squad now and they just got to capitalize going for the Pete
blows has the upper hand on Zephyr here smoke is there for Vic he wants to make
it weird and put the one-way up now with one more beautiful Phoenix wall here
he's down and they're still gonna yeah yeah yeah this seems that push up from
Oh, oh my god, oh my god, holy shit.
That was a clean 5 vs 3.
On a bonus and they reached it.
Any Lepreters?
Why the fuck?
What did he say?
more proactive with these two dualists that allows for you to do the same very similar
walls for any type of size retakes on these sites and then you add flashes on top of that
you're adding a lot of disruption to just very nice how their uh the meta is approached here
and evolved from this double controller to this. Why the fuck is my team so at?
Smokes for Leviton so far. How do you get the aim without smokes now? You're
right your walls to encroach into the position to use the smokes.
You can just cross it's Oxy that's gonna put the walls up.
It has to be.
It's fast lane to enter in.
I mean, the position that C9 used to play from was that kind of...
Oxy would say, I'm gonna run it down anyways, it's 4v5.
So, he's ready to go through and be that one to open the door.
But there's a follow-up there.
There's where it's been lacking.
They have this side of the map, somewhat to themselves.
You still have King to say something about it though.
It's still you know, it's actually fuck chat. I genuinely had faith
That's the worst part but neon still fix that fight
That's what to mention there even can't I both the ground I don't know
Yeah, there's a little of this because I thought they would just they know like what's on the line here
Shut the round, you know what I mean? You saw that dick couldn't really get proactive
How do you just accept never making it because he was afraid of any angles and there's always a trademark this time
I'm out in the open and as it's never gets it never gets broken
It doesn't really allow for C9 to play the contact walk into this a site which should get blows ready
To reposition there you go falls back wait for me to play the flood retake
And this would be the plant but in seeing that as well. We saw C9 destroy at the first round
You think they might even be on a thank God. There's open qualifiers next year. I mean for them
Yeah, I mean spike with I'm telling you if they bombed out of this
It's it's it's it's it's it's guarantee that's not even like
This is how we support
King putting in the stars are the right spots and it's pretty much the delay of the land of trying to see how you can activate
These players have the most experience with each other than any other team in America's and nothing to show
I mean, yeah, and it's bad. I'm not trying to justify the results. It's just bad. It's been bad
They've come close many times, but it feels like it's just regression at this point
and
That's sad. Yeah, that is actually just sad. I
Actually think if and all these players are separated into different teams
They would succeed, but for some reason on this or what these five they can't do it. It's just not
Even the movement around spike is not that heavily punished
Compared to when oxy is trying to move around with all of them here
I do think so. Yeah, like I think I think so. I've seen good things out of I think
I've seen good things out of penny. I've seen obviously seen great things out of Jordan oxy obviously
Vic and Zeppa
We've seen that Vic was the best player on cloud nine for like a while
Sights from getting hit right now on the side of Lev a is pushed. So they know it's not and Zeppa when he's playing against me
Is a genuinely superman to start the round off, but still it's not a panic movement from left
They heard this time. I've seen good things on all five players
And that eliminates already the first rotate kill that Zels is was so good at and now spike plays the off angle
Patience
They're trying to make sure they didn't make it by as well
Knowing spike went down to have to make sure every angle is covered it short is Jordan calling back Jordan
Call them back to the side call them back to see
No faith in yourself to bumping this back home, brother.
You're in garage.
Somehow, King gets one there in the face of two.
Are you kidding me?
They're waiting. They're wondering, wait, no way.
Where could he be?
Was trying to find more info across the map,
but they're just too separated from the initial macro play Leve was making.
Wow.
C9 seemed a little lost in the situation.
Yeah, it's definitely interesting because no time guaranteed they couldn't have made about the back to see no matter what onto that
Bees like lean but as you when I said that when I said those words there was 100% no time
This is probably thinks he has another type of timing where he could actually be on maybe on a rotate neon beam
Right here they could have ran back to me at least Jordan threw garage. What are you talking about 24 seconds the door shuts down
And that's around here for levy a ton again
Yeah, through B, and planted for A to C lane, sure.
I don't think there's a single caller that isn't calling them to come back there.
Not one.
Did Jordan call them to come back there?
That's an obvious fallback.
You killed the guy top of A. He saw two players at 24 seconds.
It's obvious as fuck they're rotating over gonna, they're gonna over rotate it.
Shatt is iron there isn't enough time I know but I just I have to argue because they can't be that dumb
One million percent that's a fallback
I
Said the window you just saw my left side
Off of a pause bro off of a pause you just get clean. Do you understand how demoralized cloud nine are right now?
Off of a pause your own pause. This is what happens. He has to win this round
high low there five now and the timeout squashed by that what a change of pace
two for leviathan for that round it gives so much time that on emmy when he
called the timeout for cloud nine for owner to look okay what's the city of the
game we have these big ults we can work with they're gonna probably try to do
something on their side as well as they have a lot of alternate sites let's
just try to cancel that right away and just bring some rounds only thank you
it's your one though let us play great let us play like you know they know
They're gonna win this
Boss man, I can't get this round out of my head. I can't get the last round out of my head
You walk into garage as a killjoy as a caller
There is no world where you're not calling them back there knowing exactly where they got that a kill fake a come be
Or come see guaranteed obvious obvious like
basic
because everything is working out in perfection
and everything is going to be good.
I can't believe it.
This is so good!
There was 1 million percent's time to at least plant at the per seer.
1 million percent.
They are able to squash the forests of Lev down
and now the site's taken.
This is a round they need to come back on.
It's a little bit nice too.
You had the TP from Vic in the back end.
Interesting that they didn't break it.
So it allows now Oxi to slide through the double swing onto the person in the back of the site end.
Now you have a pretty clean post plan and not having to waste out a lockdown or a pit going into that type of here
He probably did but I believe those eight players just said they probably said like no time or something
Maybe they felt like they had no time
But I'd refuse to believe Jordan didn't make that call or at least suggest you guys can come back
I refuse to believe that
It would be nice to see that style again fast it seems
seems like when C9 waits in the round a bit, the 1 in 1s or a 2-1 trade doesn't go their
way, right? But hitting the site, they can be behind each other, there's no chance to
lose somebody as they go in from across a rotation on the map. It seems much stronger.
They have to win out the half and win pistol and bonus.
And keep going C.
Yep.
timings on how they're executing that site and again that's just run down see
man all the angles after all for each day they have to play on if he needs to
but he has the eyes kill Jail oh my god and the kill Jail to the leg a few
more here of C9 feel absolutely pressured in this situation this is
scary though cuz along the way inside the pit to deny spawn but three
players a little time are looking to flood out from the rod
we're making this fight here if they want to get in south of looks up they're
expecting to see a little bit more you till before the entry huge huge
as oxy brings it up the six kills for himself in a second round for C9 walking
in that one for sure and good thing that Zeppo was the one that threw out
Sampin Dragon, thank you for the two of them.
Let's go man, heat up.
So it forces the hand of Leviathan to strangle around the retake from that garage ramp.
There are just too many players to deal with here for C9 on site.
Thanks to that hit, they could put four players right there to go for those trades.
It's a playing double C. Double C, double B. So the A alone. It's a good read.
KG ult as well.
Pull A exact, three.
You get bombed down and then you kill Joy ult.
rails cold for as long as he can to hide
Zepa tries to take out the enemy, but they flooded
the team getting inside the site Cloud9 never had a chance
they're just looking now for Zelsis playing with anti-flash as he moves
through the wall he has a welcoming committee just on the other side
Oh no. That's what you got to deal with.
I mean, they had the site. It's hindsight to think, like, why are they going into the site?
We should just be killjoy-alting to secure the bomb site.
They had it. I can't even blame him for that, also.
I mean yeah they just got flooded on that isn't oh jesus situation
but I think that was a big flash if i'm not mistaken I came from sahto all the way toward
spawn from spawn back into the eight site two players are fully blinded they coordinated the
flood retake and fight back on the side of leviton i feel like sen should sign some he's one of the
best experience yeah it's not up to the sen everyone would sign sam if it was if you wanted to play
Very good for Leviton now as well
He's going down the notes
He's going down counting every finger off there second time out. I mean fuck
I don't even know what I would say here like
The highest percentage play is to just kill Joyalt sewer alright
But they have not cleared top sewer yet, and he is alone bottom sewer
I think the best play would have been to instantly go through the sewer smoke for them
clear it once they have that area secured kill Joyalt and
Then plant the bomb
Instead they like routed this way if they've routed into the smoke and threw this and crossfired with Jordan
They would have killed this guy right the very least traded him
Then they wait kill Joyalt this corner. They can't flood anymore. Then you get bombed out play the post
That starts to settle in and you're starting to find delts here on your preparation going to this game.
So having Zelsis is good. Hopefully the timeout is better, but it's not.
First blood for Levitan.
He backs up, Ronnie who puts him safely for a re-entry into A, and this scatter and the smoke, the anchor smoke, is a big place for the fight to go down.
And oh my gosh, you're just able to find every kill outside of it.
Still towards the left side of the site, they're just reading the way C9 hits methodically every time.
a few up ramp and they're just waiting for the sewer guy.
And how stoic they are for Levitan and that fight.
Look at this first take after us as Blows gets that big.
He just fights the corner.
He doesn't care for one down, just walk down.
And you know for a scene I'm like, we got to protect it.
We got to protect it.
We get to lay some people.
So they run through this smoke, get picked off,
and then again, another round that just does not work.
The duality of man.
There you go.
Holy.
And it's true that I mean blows over there using the anchor smoke like a boss these last few rounds here to collect multiple kills
He judged from the left side last time why not from the right?
those little
Knowing the play is always a quick dash into sight again
Seeing the method that c9's using and being able to stop it at the front door. Yeah
I feel like the fans are even like not the fans. Sorry even the haters are starting to feel bad at this point
Like I don't think now I think when these guys type zero to the left I strive we'll be back what next week
I'm pretty sure the tweets are just gonna be NT man. You got it next time. We punish like I don't even think there's gonna be any hate
Mark as well. So
Very similar type of flash peek a lot dog
Oh, I found by C9 advantage back is on his back on their side also weapon upgrade
So
Against you now of Levitan
I mean, B post plan it's literally impossible to lose this, especially with a Viper Lurksy.
But yeah, actually impossible.
Is it right here? Oh, no, they're actually just gonna force through there pretty good change in their pocket. Zelsis falls
Penny creeping around from the rap position here as the rest of the team is just buying time
Penny coming to life there at the end some easy shots for him
But getting back online getting on the board a little bit more as they get the rounds in there
And Zelsa's had to be selfless there
I'm so damn fast
He has to swing on that tap, but he has to jiggle, try to give his life, or something to the lay
So that you get value out of, uh, don't fight for work
You gotta draw the eyes
Exactly
He did
And then Penny ran into the crosshair
Lev, yeah, they're having a blast
They're having a blast
Works out, they saw him with some rounds here
The last one to go with, thankfully, with all these rounds that look very much in favor of Levitan
It's a strong buy that can have here.
Changed up, Zelsis putting the alarm bot there, alerting C9 that this play is getting rerun by Lev.
Oh, they're on hold.
It's Valorant, anything is possible, momentum can shift very quickly guys.
Their sphere is available for blows the setup position was the same way great great pivot from C9
Nice dodge out on it can cuss
Beautiful
They need to win pistol they have to win pistol the place of left now. It's like an obvious must
Just on the heels of Zepa's jump Penny and King kind of reach other but have to give up the time
It takes to look a little longer
Jump shots draw the eyes of blow give C9 another day dawn. Thank you for the nice
Don't momentum when we can't even win a pistol it's possible if you guys do with
a pistol here to the first map we saw in pearl it's a good triple beat you need
this pistol rounds I would say you need the bonus as well we gain any kind of
momentum because then lemon is gonna actually feel like they're on a
back to get these rounds for sure and four rounds after a dominated first
start from leviton that is gonna give you a little bit of confidence
when we through again when you have a perfect read that's exactly what I
about okay if they haven't really been giving these pigs the confidence is no
longer saying we yeah I left the team on them to start strong on the next unless
we win pistol then I'm jumping back on the fucking ship
you think we were better than love that would be a banger-ass game
both teams are so proactive on defense is a crew and level figured out
exactly what you're supposed to do on defense to gain momentum, keep that space, aggression
together and seems like C9 and Sen who played against them have just have no clue, no answer
against them, against the aggression, she's none.
What will you do with C9 wins this game?
I'll celebrate for them then.
That's...fucking might have to take a shot for that one.
It's possible too, that's what's crazy.
If Cloudrag can win this pistol and don't know it,
it is genuinely possible that they could sneak away with this map.
It just comes down to if they can do it.
There's no C9 ship, Unk. It's a dingy with Oxy as captain.
Kotski. Thank you to Prime Man.
Welcome back to VCT Americas and 8-4 first half for Lev. They take the lead once again
and could possibly close out the series here as they are on their own map of Haven.
They throw in every mid pistol round.
They have advantage in this series.
Let's just watch. Let's just see.
This is it. This is their last chance.
They, in my opinion, need a 5-0 start in this half.
To have any chance of winning this game.
for them to look here towards this A side but this is a sander stuff I like
that we're seeing this type of wall now for them to try to take a little bit
more hey I double walk down mid killjoy vicar a
sorry you're playing C doesn't ever turn to watch down lower B let's go oxy
oxy does this a lot actually I'm surprised it hasn't been anti like on
pistol rounds just walks down mid kill you till but definitely a bit stall
utility
Zelsis
It's just
They're actually gonna hit a here
Get in if you're gonna get in get in are we playing on we're playing on
What's the angle we're gonna look at it put themselves in the corner of the box, and it's just too hard
Spike hello gives up a quick handshake there. He's already pushed up further than they expect
5 minutes ahead of the play
Wow, oh my gosh
At the beginning to our micro kills are not able to fight together
One guy's holding sewer one guy's holding long. Are you supposed to just be back site fighting one angle?
You have a play for short or you play for long
Just like that's so annoying playing through these smokes in the spawn these slides
He's been a nuisance right now. Soul plays by the way every single time
Responsibility given to one thing. Thank you. Thank you. That's a 22 months. Jesus. Thank you
Break the timing on the side of C9 and that's a cost
Losing both on this map
That's not what you want to see. He doesn't get another one, right?
Yeah, just like look for people in the face and get another one, right? Oh
Just get some maximum info as well. It's just so free
You'd expect the team to be halfway across the map doing something else.
And the chamber's doing alert.
No, they're still in a position to get the angle.
Karma thinking the problem.
Like I oxy jumped around very similarly to how spike is.
But then it just gets one time.
This guy said, I think there's a language barrier on club 9.
The training of the aim from Leviathan against C9, who by the way also during the offseason
was also bootcamping out in front of virtually to practice against different types of meta
to find their own.
up with any reason at this point there's got to be something
the next day they go in they have a lot to test against the best teams in the world
and it seems like it paid off a bit and also able to defeat some of the best
teams from the world as well as the fact that they made fun China and won that
one too with neon in the roster before he was eligible to play
in this very stage at the end of kickoff
so now you have cloud nine are completely outclassed man it's not
even close. It's just genuinely not even close between these two teams right now. You guys
are miles ahead. Maxi? Thank you for the party. I mean at least we're gonna get a good dock out
He's like no, I want him to play fast. I think they're playing slow because it's some juice baby
This is what we used to do and I think we're getting the fast now
So it's funny to be a fly on that wall man on that in that cracker after this game ends
Sato saying last stage it was more free willed and kind of creative now
It's more systematic and he thinks with the wild players that they have that I don't even know what you said
I actually just don't even know what you said. You are literally were never the better team at any point during this game
We're seeing it in this matchup now
Three away from taking Haven
Slows this round down
One by one here we go
The crowd chance for an ace and looks like Zelsus will find a corner. He'll have to chase
Then the ace
We never do this in scrims
That you're not gonna hear that one definitely saying that one in the room for sure
Why are we playing like this? We don't play like this one a matter way when we were screaming on the practice
It's really good in terms of you till that really helps and enables here the duelist to move in that single
Gravel that was at that spot
Even if oxy's able to get first blood and stone on that right side when he's trying to repivot back towards
Yeah, he goes right into the Gravel
And as he falls down the other ones couldn't really follow up behind him because they were being stole
I just feel like we didn't commit to the game plan. Yeah, that's another one
And then Satoh well
You're playing levings against him cross the coach usually hits you with that
I don't understand why you guys aren't listening to what I'm telling you cross here. The coaches love that line
It feels like that never I literally told you before the game what they were gonna do and you didn't know what they were going to do
What?
You have one coaches and in hands consistently. That was the last bullet too
Yeah, I felt that at home the other one is gonna be we're not playing our game
we're playing like we're playing to the opponent's strengths not our own that's
another one like cliche line here they'll even slow it down and this has
to, you know, get under C9's game because when this happens they start peeking out, they start looking.
Nah, but realistically even when they've had advantages they throw away the round, so
that's why it's so bad. Because not one round it feels like it should have gone in Cloud9's favor.
Actually, early on it does, but they still manage to throw it away. They get to all that.
I don't even know what positives we can bring out of this game. That's my point.
As a coach, as a player, I don't even know what positive thing you can say about this game.
Showed up on time to the venue, yeah, that's about it.
That's actually about it.
The fact that they sat down and plugged in their mouse and keyboard is about the best thing that came out...
The best thing they've done in this game.
Now they know, no steps are being heard, no runs, no utile, everything is C.
So this leaves that 5v5 utile there for C9 and they lose self-test.
They're still gonna be pushing in. You see how where they are of the timing too, right?
They took a long time, hit the site and they still think somebody can be lurking at that point.
Let's predict the tweets though. On some like troll shit. Let's predict the tweets.
What are the tweets gonna look like?
That one's on me
The judge rolling through picks one up, but he's low on HP here. Is there somewhat limping around
Absolutely gutted
Pulls oxy away half there
Needs the round to keep him off game point King. It's another one in the vieton start to wrap this one up
No words the no words I think I've used that one
I've had no words a couple times.
They have with King's
Bumping
I promise you
They went around right now. There is no fist bump down across the board. I
Don't even if they're talking to each other and there's no vibe merchant
That's gonna try to lift up their spirits unless it could come up here on the hold at the long sea line
Thing is is every time a corner is reached. It's three or a bunch of utile and something
You're always only good for one against this left squad.
Let's wrap it up, bro.
So tough.
Spike all the way to the back.
They've clean taken the site.
And they're going to hit the trademark on the way around
so they know they have a better time to breathe
before they even see anybody.
They're going to use this time to get a push on spawn.
Bro, they're just bored.
They're just atulking this.
They're just bored.
You know, they're literally bored.
But look at this.
And even this is somehow C9's going to lose.
And Zelsis here
Here we go guys
Five for C9 they stay alive in the series
Has a little bit of teammates to follow up and support him
Great hold and saw leaves from the beginning
It almost looked like he wasn't winnable there for both Azelsus and Penny on their cross-flights and a point
Wait, I wonder if other chats also say it
They're trying to push him off so they can't free off each other
No, no one else says 12-5
It's just my chat
C9 just done this before
Bruh
Trying to remember when that was
Shut up, shut up, Benzilly
But at least it starts with that your star duelist again being oxy getting multi-fills
for the last two rounds and then finally converting on to that one too and economy a
plenty for rifles for cloud nine the only thing though it's half shields neon
goes with the y'all no matter what on the attack side maybe time goes back to a
slow tempo
You will not be able to do anything from that position
Okay, a little bit default you till as well. So now it becomes a good job of breaking the alarm block
They're gonna thin out the defense area
Still playing a on the wall so they can increase so the half cisteric garage now one is just a straight redroaning it
The first move but again. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Can anybody be there to answer?
it. Instant trade. Like instant. Good for one. Again. They don't expect the timings right
now. Lev is just moving too quick into these positions. They should expect bikes. He's
been doing this the whole series. Right, but that's the thing. He's doing it in different
spots every time. So, they're like, oh, I'm I'm safe for the next time. No, actually
you have to consider he's around every corner. Brown. He's become a nightmare
to play against him right now falling blows you a shot on Zepp right there Vic
trying to stay alive the last one here is left
push the finish and punches down
oh my gosh it's actually for me on there with a slow-mo
with a fury looking cinema as Leviathan
I can't believe Andy versus Lavos more entertaining
I actually can't believe that
Sato gets what he wanted
a redemption art for Shora for Leviathan
again no victories for this organization since 2023
against Cloud9 and comes back with a convincing one. This time around that seemed like a 100%
trust in the process. Let me see the body language here. What's going on? Let me see the other team.
They amped themselves up and man they came in strong.
King out there, with a lot of numbers from that top spot,
everybody else playing their hearts out here
and the team cohesion in the play is fantastic.
I can't even understate how hard they just got shit on.
They actually just got shit on.
They actually, it felt, I'm not kidding,
like they wasted Lev's time.
And my association also are on and that road
All right, let's look at these banger ass stats, not that it matters.
In these situations, it doesn't even matter how bad someone played, like right now, Penny
could be minus 30, it would have made a zero difference.
These guys literally five-man-diffed them.
Couldn't even get to 13 in two maps combined.
I mean, who else do they have to play?
Envy?
I mean, surely that's a confidence boost there, unless Envy locks in and just shits on them
as well.
Like, there's no way Ekstra has another one of those weeks, so Envy will be harder to
play than they were yesterday.
MIBR has just chalked that up to a full L.
Fuck, can they win a game?
right now for this side of product in the series.
The muddus seems to be working quite well with the,
well, not too well, but, you know,
I thought this was like a playoff disease.
The disease has spread to the regular season.
The Verizon Post-Match interview with Sato.
Happy birthday.
Thank you guys. Let's hear for Livia.
Found it for Sato.
With an incredible wings.
Sato, you look so dominant.
And I ask you at the beginning of the day,
what was going to happen, what you were cooking.
First time playing Phoenix, how was that?
Once he's equal, then it's your one then.
It's a fun character to play.
Compared to the Neon, to all the other duelists, are you just a one trick Phoenix now?
I feel like I'm more of a baiter.
I feel you.
Yeah, and Spike is kind of like a crazy man, so you let him do that and then I'll just follow, you know, that's the whole deal.
And that's the thing, because Spike, going into kickoff, he was playing a lot of the Viper, so this time around...
I mean, land look phenomenal though.
Not even alive. That was clean
All the executes are clean the rotates are good for activity on defense. They got they got all the check marks for me
Yeah, we
We always knew that spike was really good at a neon and then like we tested him out on one map and then we're like
And then and then we started running in more
uh, normal maps, but like this kind of, uh, method we found for our team is, uh, working
pretty well because of our aggressiveness and because we cannot stand still for it for
a second.
Do you think that method works because of how aggressive or that natural.
Kimmy enough.
They've had enough today.
Yeah, I feel like King really likes to have that kind of aggressive play style.
And obviously, in their podcast, they, well, they thought they were in America's behind
G2 and NRG.
It's working pretty hard.
Is it good to be that delusional or does it help in some way?
Yeah.
Something that owners said towards the beginning of the year that they end goal was not to
make it to Masters in Thiago, but to win London and to win Champs as well.
It was the end goal and the long route that they were taking.
So how do you see that now?
How are you taking those possibilities and the growth of the Tournament has passed?
I feel like that really makes sense.
One of the things we talked about before coming into this match was like that this
is the first time the team actually had the preparation that we wanted to and
because the other time we had to play with the sub, Nianna was not of age yet, so this time we finally went into a tournament and prepared.
So feeling good for stage 1?
100%.
Thank you so much.
They look solid, bro.
Congratulations once again. Can you hear one more time for Lemi attack?
They look solid. I gotta give it some hope.
This is everything that we have for our first year of self-adj, but when we come back, we haven't seen them since Masters in Tiago is energy and period.
Happy birthday.
that's just rough. It's a rough history, bro.
The human body was built to move
not trapped at the desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day
It's time. Your show. I think even something sorry. Let me see it.
Yeah, I don't know. I just I don't know. I don't know what to say about this team anymore.
Let's hear that this guy literally is this is a means crying on this.
I'm gonna say no, no, no, no, okay.
Yeah, okay.
World beater rosters.
energy blog I'll watch it after I gotta get some food in you yeah okay but jokes
apart if you were a coach at the position of cloud nine what do you say
after this it's very very difficult to like pinpoint one problem because there
were so many I just throw out the whole playbook and start from scratch and
keep it very simple for the rest of the split.
Because I feel like the team needs something fresh.
Because obviously mentally they're fucked.
So that's what I would do personally.
XR, XA cry, they're gonna tear on me.
Be right back.
Even though we all personally kick off, I still view us as like an underdog just because
Our ceiling is like nowhere near. We're not nowhere near. We're standing pretty much starting off with energy
We'll be good a good way to start the season. We've never faced them yet
I think like the biggest thing you have to focus on is like making sure Modod just doesn't get free space 24-7
It's like all this free space like that's right
This guy gets something not gonna be an easy game against Furia
They're obviously a top team this show that and kickoff looks like they meshed very well a very good chemistry pretty
Some of our team environments, I think it makes the great teams great.
So they're going to be super solid because of that, no matter what.
I think that both of us will be very determined to win this match.
They have good individual players over there, especially Ethan.
He's like two times champions when they're and Kiko is a beast.
So I really respect their team in general.
They're probably the hardest teams to play against.
Welcome back to VCT America's and our final match of the week and boy oh boy it's a good
one we got cutie out taking on our world champions in NRG I'm golden boy here alongside once
again Athena, Mimi and Emily as we break it all down.
Look I mean it's safe to say we have an exquisite matchup that is about to take
place are number one number three teams from kickoff and on top of that first
match of the year this is a well if you're a fan of both of these teams it's
gonna be exciting that you're here the players is probably not what you want
to have your first match I mean I think it's exciting it's a great way to kind
of see where both teams are at here in America's after Santiago and for Furia
it's kind of like they're collecting the infinity stones right now no in
kickoff they beat G2 the kryptonite of America's right then they beat MIBR
super team now they just have to defeat the world champs. That's right it's simple you know easy-peasy. Yeah that's it right.
But they also have very different trajectories after that win. Energy turned it around they look amazing to qualify to Master Sonny.
I know in that low end final and they had a much better run at that tournament than Furia did. Yeah and Furia though I gotta give him credit they did shoot for the moon.
That's not the uphill though even though they missed a little bit. I just want to clarify I said they could get the infantry stones I didn't say they would.
Yeah, I could slide to mom.
Just so you know, Emily is just constantly making sure
she doesn't get caught with the proof again.
That's what it is.
All right, let's talk about beauty app.
All right, because look, this squad without a doubt
was one of, if not the biggest surprise coming out
of the America's region.
I would even argue for the majority of the VCT,
it was such a surprise given Merno where beauty app
were as an organization here at the VCT versus the success
that they found leading to something else.
Yeah, it just felt like an insane turn
They genuinely came out of nowhere for me all these players constantly battling out to make it to the stage in the first place.
And they ended up winning with what I thought was the power of friendship.
What I mean by that is all these players are so insane.
They're playing together.
They're synergy.
The way that they talk to each other, team and out of the server.
You can tell that this is a team that cares about gameplay, knows that the unanimous goal is to win and they don't take any of these things personal.
these things personal yeah I mean by far the most fun team I'd say we have in
America's right now it's just how hyped they are and how supported they are but
I think their storyline and kickoff was actually really funny because they came
in completely reinventing themselves we see them win against crew and send they
still didn't get any credit for it yeah it was just all crews has a sub
roster yeah they're just not looking like sorry you feel wonder
well that's you know that's like wait here is actually pretty good guys
hold on and then we're also gonna bottle again although we didn't have
the results that they wanted out of asses. They honestly just lost out both of their matches that they got to play there.
But I just want a good game. You know what? That's fair. That's fair. That was not a good game.
I just look I don't want to
like, you know put oil in the fire and
And just talk about the same things everyone else is talking about which is say loxy cut this guy cut that guy
because it's a shitty feeling for them already like these players feel like dog
shit right now but it's also hard to not just give my opinion when like in these
positions do you know what I mean it's very conflicted
who has come out who can adapt to the changes in the meta and can continue to succeed this is
where we really prove if they're a top dog or a one trick wonder well and what does help this squad
those that they have players who been here before they've had you know different degrees of success
but one player I want to highlight in particular is in EU uh because he's external what the fuck
we get it and so do they they are good individually not together I mean yeah that's basically it
they are really good players individually but you need way more than that you need levels
There's like actual levels to this shit
And the problem with games like that is like there are so many areas to improve on and negative like no positives whatsoever
So it's like what do you even focus on during practice?
You know what I mean? There's a million things. That's all I'm saying you just throw out the entire strap book and start from scratch
And you pray
That it works out
Yeah, he's also in the Inker mid round when they're getting two out of hand, a little bit too
It will inspire, prove, and think about, it will inspire, prove, and lead, or C9 if you're in the next round
I mean, Inspire is just a good player, a solid player that would like be good for those seams
But, you know, there's a reason he got replaced and we don't know what that reason is
He was the best player on NBA development, but, why?
and I said beat the ass.
Any of you shafts, Zelsis?
Oh, man.
I was-
In rounds, I'll get examples of the rounds.
So round where they full rush C,
had the 3v5, what happened?
Like what was the break in comms there
led to them being able to retake on a bonus round?
That's my first question.
Second question, the round where you walked into Garage,
why didn't they go back to CRB?
Whatever some of the learning lessons
that you were able to get from all of that?
Yeah, I think it's playing a...
Stay out of the way, I'll see you in a minute.
They have a completely different approach
and style to the game.
So I think we were able to take away some things
from them and apply it to our game,
which helped us a ton,
And receiving scrimmage teams like Nongshim who won Santiago is, um, we have to learn so many different things.
So you're going to be running it down the kicker ice?
I guess we'll see.
Thank you so much.
Alright, now of course, NRG, look, these guys have avoided that champion's curse so far.
They managed to pick up a couple big wins. They won the lower bracket at...
I'm surprised the C9 CEO isn't sulted.
Oh, we don't know how tilted they are.
like how things were shaping up, how strong Nong'ish and World Team helped.
Devious pick works were looking, it really is a credit to Energy
that they were in that conversation in the top three.
And when you look at how they were planning at the beginning of pick-up,
this was a rough run for them.
The losses early on, that middle bracket loss to G2 especially,
came as a big shot, but they improved massively at this time.
They were the one team fully committed to the double initiator,
and their execution was incredible.
Oxy going back to G2 would be insane for him. That's a championship team.
Not wrong. That would be an absurd addition.
Vaib is playing well, so it's sad if he does get replaced.
And also looking at the grand final.
I also want to be clear too, looking at the grand final, I don't think anyone was touching non-ship to be clear.
And one thing that I want to point out is for NRG, the way that I can describe them is,
They play like they are a unit, especially at attack sites, when they're exacting it, it's like they have utility covering every single piece at a specific time and players always holding in angles.
It's like they're building up a wall on whatever site they're going to, and teams really have to fight hard to kind of penetrate that and be able to break through it.
When we saw them first go against P.R.X.
Oxy, Jarl running into our site.
Yeah, exacts, we're super strong.
Our site down, what are you doing?
I mean, I agree. That would be an insane addition.
We're going to grab the P.R.X.
I mean, next year what's obvious is Oxy will definitely be on a top team.
Purex we're not able to break that right and then when we see them go up again again on breeze
They were doing a lot better. We saw them kind of finding holes and not letting energy to play how they want to yeah
I signed a long ass contract. Yeah, there's no way they fucking hold into that contract though for 20 27
There's no way I would use if he wants to leave and he's been so loyal to the team
I feel like they're not gonna just max buyout
It's not going to be a max buyout. There will be a buyout on him, but it won't be like absurd.
I don't know, it's C9 though.
I mean maybe, if they want to like make back the money they've lost in salaries, and not attending events at all,
at all they could fuck him but I feel like they won't fuck him because that's
terrible PR if they just lock him like that without with like a one they're
two million dollar buyout and that's assuming that cloud nine just bombs you
know like there's just no improvement which there will be improvement it's just
like the situation cloud nine is in is exactly the situation we were in when
and we were one and three in 2023 at the beginning.
Like I know what's going on in that proc room, you know what I mean?
Or at least I have a good idea.
And I think the best course of action for them
is truly to just go back to the basics.
That's it.
Start from scratch.
I know it's risky, but you have nothing more to lose.
like you've already just, this is bad.
Fans, thank you for the prime.
What do you think about envy versus cloud nine feels like
fury versus 2g? No, chill.
Williams, there's no us in here.
Have you ever gotten any coaching offers?
Actually no, but I've also never actively looked for a team to coach.
So maybe I would get offers if I stated that I was trying to coach or message teams.
I feel like NA is super competitive these days, which doesn't help, yeah, but there's
no excuse for that result.
No matter how you look at it.
They add zero shows.
It changes the procedure a little bit, but I've always done the prep myself and I most
likely always will do the prep myself.
It's a lot easier when it comes to my health, so not too much.
And how do you prepare going into this event with everything, all the meta, all the changes?
a lot of testing, just keep testing all the time and being open minded and having healthy
discussions within the team and just listening to everyone.
The big ends?
Thank you.
The big ends?
Thank you.
The big ends?
Thank you.
If there is one team that I know had those conversations and those conversations were
effective, 100% it's NRG because you have players on the squad meeting that not only
have...
John, what were your offers in 2023 other than NRG?
They all have just a uniqueness that they bring to the table and Coach Baccar has been able to take advantage of that to greater
Like when we were going from optic into teamlessness
There were a couple, but I honestly just don't remember
I can't be honest
You missed a viewing note
I computed too well there. Go ask the assistant coach for Maddox so you can take back crashes and hit what?
I think he'll be great on that world even because he's already shown us his excellent ability to make
Why is Shanks being weird and not streaming?
Maybe he's traveling right now for some shit.
Yeah, but then also you have other weapons on this team too, right?
Scuba, another guy who came in with Mata, you know, had one hell of an opening season for him
winning a world championship alongside Mata, but he's also always been a reliable hand in
that circle. He's in those 1v1s. You know Scuba's night time is not a thing to take off.
Yeah, I feel like when we talk about these controller players, these rifle players, we're constantly pointing out anchoring and clutching, but Scuba, this guy does a masterclass of it.
Not only that, he is so good at the end of the game.
Zero on C9, you and Zelsus play together. I was in C9 in 2019, end of 2018.
information on that defensive side. When he is playing weak side, he's not afraid to still jump
spot, still jiggle peek, get a long deep line down towards those longs, towards those shorts,
just to get that much information and pass it back to even though he has been from the long
and consistent the whole time too with it. Yeah, and oftentimes I feel like he's kind of the
saving gray, so the team you're talking about is clutches, but even further than that, like
when I think about specific rounds, especially on attack, is the best org you've ever been.
Probably, NB. NB energy was great too, though. It's hard to choose between both. Probably NB, we were also just winning, so they treated us like 10 times better than they would be if we were losing, so...
from his opponent and I think that is something that is a testament to scuba's skill and of course
we'll continue to see it as an end-to-end development here but let's go into some skirmish side
selection shall we because we have a 1v1 this is a good one mod on versus koala noob so let's
see how this one shapes out thank you for the front and kill yeah thank you for the
point here I think that's gonna be the ram of the world I really miss you and you're on
chill bruh. But thank you.
Well I love these coach streamers, they work. Thank you man. That's a very sweet message. Thank you.
Do you think G2 are shooting themselves in a fort when Vee has the best controller last year and now he has the bills for the spot that they be able to talk?
I mean they still have maintained their form, is the thing. Because I don't think they're shooting themselves in the fort.
They just, for some reason, when it gets to the top 4 in Masters, something happens.
And they can't, they can't do it.
Yeah, exactly, of course.
you'd expect to ever shut down or tilt or any of us are swapping roles be you see
extra just now which player through ingress new position just one be wanting
just completely embrace it like if you need to swap role well with extra it's
different because you just spammed one agent for so long that he has to like
put a lot of work in now like extra work that he wouldn't otherwise have
to put in if he was just playing different agents like ranked even but
But I still think it's possible for him to regain form.
Does that mean what's the worst?
Wallendry plays a very frustrating skirmish.
He is constantly peeking corners, nonstop.
Whereas everyone else is just going for the straight up 1v1 contact fight each other?
No.
And it gets away!
That's insane.
I mean, Andre wasn't pure terrible all the time, great Satyago.
I think people have to cut him since like, no, I agree with you.
I think for the most part he played well up until the end. He had bad games for sure and
he should be accountable for those. But it's not like I don't think it was worth getting
cut over type thing. You know what I mean? They still played extremely well overall. Would
you say you helped improve Ethan's IGL prior to the champs room? Honestly I have no idea.
I'd like to think so, but I have no idea how much she took for me.
Do you think Chame will be good when he comes of age? Yeah, he will.
He'll be solid. Yeah.
If they do cut baby, who do you think they should get?
Uh, out of Superstar, like genuine Superstar hard carry.
Did they put a limb on the neon?
I feel like the line is going to be neon for sure.
Yeah.
The neon on Waleigh is kind of insane,
and I feel like he already was playing that.
But I also think he was kind of the lightning rod of a lot.
The struggles for him.
Can you explain why Kane will be good,
aside from just mechanically good?
The end of Masters, Sonny Ako, he was really strong.
It doesn't seem like he gets nervous on stage.
The injuries on that Waleigh.
He's already shown that by winning Ascension,
being the star player on their team.
In America, it's just a game experience now.
You'll be just fine.
But yeah, it is mainly the mechanics and his ability to think on his feet in like chaotic situations.
Which is what the game, you need to do that in this game.
bit of that struggle because you get that fire everyone else you don't get to play
exactly we all saw her like oh boy they're gonna be coming into this one and
these boys are gonna be the crowd was crying needs a move if hundred these
have another poor year of like not qualifying at all 110 percent he needs
to go put ahead of them I think if you or they pay him they give him 50% of
100 themes and he gets to choose who he's playing.
Yeah.
In terms of thinking about Furia, it's like a top two squad now.
I'm not.
She is affected.
Yeah.
She has been affected.
She has been affected.
She has been affected, folks.
Yeah.
You know what?
They are not going to pay for this.
In any case, though, speaking of...
Welcome.
Thank you to the Sierra One.
It's silent.
Thank you for the crowd.
Big slime.
Thank you to the Sierra One.
You know the other thing I feel doubt about with Cloud9?
They do grind, Brandon. These players are playing ranked all the time. They are grinding. It's so sad.
Be the best team that I can. The meta changed. I'm going to be more on supporty roles.
Sinister thing at the time.
Flashy characters and stuff. I think that's where I excel as a player. I have identity syndrome.
I'm a super good AWPer, but I'm on main duelist right now.
So I'm kind of like but like the way that I so outside of all thing is being like a trade fragger
So it's gonna work out for me, but it's like now. I'm committing to this
This isn't like something that I've done in the past like I played smokes on like the odd map
You're in there on like other teams like now
I'm gonna be like permanently on a different role and it's something that I'm just gonna have to learn to
adapt and like
Benefit as much as I can as an individual and like support my teammates in the best ways I can to put them up in good spots
Interesting perspective there from Kuala New, who you know this guy's been waiting for his
opportunity to come to your parents and play on that stage.
She's had opportunities and has all the path that goes immediately to him.
But you're gonna get in that brief snippet there, talk, Emily, about the road swap.
It sounds like he's gonna be the one that's gonna be the trip of the spare moving
pole here for period.
I mean that kind of answers the debate that made me like you were hopping that whole
time.
What do you think Sen should do if they're complete ass this year?
Build.
Just build.
Try to keep Jon QD if you can.
Try to keep Jonah P if you can.
Those two are easily the most valuable in that team.
Just in terms of what they've already achieved and they're also young.
And then you build around it.
Just build Redux as well.
Redux looks like a promising player.
You have three players that you can relatively rely on.
Build on that.
Nothing else you can really do
They are in a rebuild phase. That's all better. There is to it. You can't like
Oversape that or understate that that is what it is
They are they are in a rebuild phase in a region that is highly competitive with teams like energy G2 who are complete teams in their primes
so
That that's just a fact
You got energy you got g2 you got mid r. You can't expect something else to beat those teams right now
So you just build that's it
Even fury I like look at what fury you're put somewhere you guys heard what I said though
I remember saying this as well. I don't think fury I will maintain this form over the course of the year
I really do think they had a honeymoon phase. I want to be proven wrong. Let's see if they can maintain
Slightly even the form that they had last split
sure that he's getting that deep line whereas with Mata I do think that his
neon goes kind of in that movement has been really good especially for post
last especially for retakes using his utils to get on to show so I do think
it's it's kind of hard to say I guess in a way if you're expecting Mata to
just run your opinions are atrocious as soon as you actually believe C9 we're
going somewhere yeah man blind faith what do you want from me I feel bad at
same time. I mean he's talking about in that clip too how he has that support from the rest of his
team and I think that's going to be what they're kind of relying on because they've been smacked
before by that duelist just fooling W especially in San Diego. Yeah we we have this conversation
going into San Diego. In the last few years don't you think NA didn't produce big stars
duelists like Tenz, Aspass, Steven, One, Oxy? I didn't see a star rookie in a while. What is
the most important role in the team right now? Who is the player that matters the most?
the need is the dive duelist for sure. Yeah I mean I'd have to agree. Everything's being built around that so I'd say yes the dive duelist. Yeah I agree. That's my order. Yeah Koalandu but I mean Koalandu was playing already and yeah I mean I think that's the highest ceiling on that one.
And you feel like Koalandu was getting a lot. Tenotino was also great? Yeah I mean that's a lot bro. I think there's going to be a lot of questions but we'll get those answers very soon. By the way do you want to let everyone know there was a slight delay on the stage. Everyone was making sure it's all good to go which is why you're hanging around with us a little bit longer.
a little bit longer but don't sweat it because we're going to be jumping to the action and a little bit for now though
We'll keep the conversation going and we'll talk more about Fudio's arts in here because
Tech cause are we fucking serious before right about you know who we're gonna be these impact players who are gonna be these guys
They're gonna be stepping up
But you're also gonna be looking at the leaders as well to be properly which reason is more stacked a packer and a I think
It's extremely close, but I still have to say
I know he was struggling a lot there in Santiago
But I do think it's a lot closer than people might think
You think you'll coach in the future maybe
Haven't had the feeling of doing that like even slightly yet
Pro, thank you
losing to is something that was reasonable to say cloud nine is a team secret of NA if they have
that performance like that again then yes then 100 yes that was a miserable game to watch
you ever see them standing on the bands
They're just so cool.
Yeah, that's their spot.
Like every day they go to a different spot.
Like today I want to sit on this cliff.
So sit right on the edge of the cliff like this.
We stand right here.
You sit on the top of the roof.
Which is a full hour way.
They just fool off.
Like a highback skirt?
What if they have really bad navigation skills?
But fuck, how do they end up there?
There you go.
I think an elephant would be safe.
They were so smart.
Badly, yeah.
I think that's our reason to see this one.
I think, like, like, for five.
Like, eggs, elephants, and dolphins.
Big three.
The only thing that's seen in the animal would be still present.
Yeah.
It's still...
It's getting fluffy.
It's not like that.
It's a little back shock, right?
Yeah.
You're in trouble.
You're in trouble.
Everybody, you guys slide by and walk with them.
They feel cooked.
We're just in the same environment.
We're in a whole life.
Yeah.
These conversations are so fun.
Our slides.
Have you seen those ones in the Japanese hot springs that just came in there?
I want to see it.
I would be the live for it.
I don't think it's going to be as fast-paced as people think.
I think they're going to slow it down against us, but we'll see.
I think we can control them.
I think so.
Right Arnold in the location a lot on your fuck. Yeah, yeah, I like that
The 30 prep guys
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Watch out!
Nice!
Up down, Cp!
Nice!
Nice!
Fuck it!
Both of them!
Wait, it started?
No, it didn't.
Make me lunch, am I?
Get lunch here.
I have my own.
I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding.
Nice, nice.
There you go boys, there you go.
We're not under this team fight.
Have it, have it.
Nice, nice.
Nice, nice.
Let's fight him.
That's it.
Nice one.
Both of us.
He's a good player.
Let's see.
There's just a shit ton of violence in every kind of stress.
There's the champion, not a single thing happening on the ground.
And people will be talking to each other and having some stress down.
Every single start around.
People are communicating.
Basically, until very, very down.
Everyone was just talking about stuff.
So, my day, I was just like, I can't even focus at all.
I don't even remember.
It's all because...
I know the fuck when these things happen is you're not listening guys. I even put extra emphasis on the key script and the sentence today to make sure I'm listening.
This has been four days in a row now, but we've checked the fuck out.
Actually left?
Bring it here on for all.
Fuck, that was like a good talk too.
Even though it is the same as what we've seen before.
Keeping away one despite the nerves to that hinder not as moving on that agent is obvious and excellent
He's very good at executing on it. It was getting good now to get that
I was good. That was a good part
Interested to see how he pilots this one compared to others who played the euro
Oh, it's a little less common to see him go for that combo
But on the other side koala locks the Phoenix. Yeah, they can do anyone
There's a scene you can throw a stone like that
I just really wanted to upset here, Senna and Gbr there, these guys are solid, they're
too solid, and I do not believe Fury will maintain their form, but I'm happy to be
be proven wrong. I can't see Duria dropping off insanely hard.
of that Santiago performance.
The maps are really interesting.
You've got super comfortable territory for NRG,
then very comfortable territory for Furia,
and then a complete unknown infraction.
I'm very interested to see how this neon...
I just hope it's a close game at least,
because the last game was an absolute formality.
That show was aides to watch.
I think it fits them.
It seems like...
I could have literally done anything else.
But NRG are one of the best teams
in the world on this map.
Set up towards mid here,
energy looking to receive some form of aggression
Really good use of Adam though. He gets out Steven very even energy now knows exactly what you are trying to do
Well, a retake that has all of the control
You all have access to
Oh, what a kill. What a fucking kill.
Here is Kiko's keeping art, but the fact that they aren't over-aggressing the trade here might be a problem.
Because this kills her flank isn't coming, so as soon as they start retaking, Nerv is gonna stop looking at this.
Once Kiko gets this kill, it's over.
Wait.
Ah, it's over.
Ooh, arts it!
Ah, it's perfect for my Darjean then.
Nice try, Ardent. Holy fuck, he always brought it back for his team.
Shouldn't have been cleaner for Ardent, for sure.
That entry is so big though.
just such a big entry there
that flank kill too, if Kiko dies there
and energy have to focus on two different angles
if he's there, that's a problem
was it seized early? nah, I don't think so
that was pretty, that was very inside
Oh
One
Little weird
They're too too right now but killjoy having that turret up is so big like this turret being up right now
Just allows these guys to just play double killjoy plays closer to a alarm box up as well
Like but the turret is the main one
If they're able to break this turret then mid round back to a this guy will be really far away
Or astral playful retake me generally speaking here on pearl. Yeah, Phoenix just does not suit that
And they're not going to I agree with the desk that koala should be pretty resilient to the changes that we've seen
He's not gonna struggle as much as some other people in terms of this patch change. I
I... I... Gritty? Thank you for the prime.
Tetris, thank you for the prime.
Thank you, thank you.
I mean, there's a 0% chance he doesn't even get bought down here.
Oh boy, people are pissed. People are about to be real upset.
isn't it? Now does he have a game plan in terms of one of the things that Brawk is amazing at
is going and looking at the bots of the team seems about to play a game and destroying some kind of
set ideas that they have on the attack side. You don't really have a lot of footage, you know,
in fact you've got zero footage and Fury are playing this composition on this map.
So I've got to imagine it's more to do with just the general value.
Alright, can they avoid getting bonus tier?
Two stingers and a fuck and a beagle and an Aries.
Surely, Fury, I don't lose to this.
Yeah, they're not forcing the AMA fight, good for them.
Okay, they saw Neon, so they- they sh- oh my god.
No
And a 2v4 so clean should be fairly chill just because of the B push killed they killed a guy aim in as well
and
and they need to realize there was anything planned out
to reawaiting to the peak,
while I have to respect these protocols I really do
I must respect it
to the
other wise though well navigated to Syria
the run the taxide
to a way from being able to deploy that Phoenix
and
you'll be so many of what you would expect
to have a team getting what you mean by that
He could definitely still have koala been salted this round
Extremely diligent gameplay though, gotta say
Not any worries about fury potentially falling flat on the other end of Santiago
He went back to an aim in skirmish once more energy to play for players
We take the sauce energy is gonna be take this real energy a force that's huge. That is a big entry
And Adam kept him in as well
They know no one else is behind that box so they can easily take that line back
But
These guys did take the space so good on furia for taking this space at least now that that's hurt is broken
The round is very weird for energy
Specifically because of this area they have to spread out so much now
Passive positioning now for energy because they had to give up mid in the early round. So now Brookes just got his eyes trained on it
All right, nice blip
No shot
All right, well this should be all right
It's a little more in the factions face, 85 half, that's the back out smokes.
Full retake, now propped up, pre-plants, plan out and site for the taking for Fury.
Wow, really good Util by Fury here, clean plant.
Now serving themselves into deeper positions.
Here it comes, EU-Fade-Alt on the counter, looks like they want to fight out there for this one.
That's big, that's a really good delay, oh my god, Clawdon pushing it as well.
Into though, it's going to be slow and Dama still the rifles can't have him down.
YUM!
Yo, I legit gotta stop doubting this team.
That was fucking...
I'm actually more in love with how they executed, than even that second phase of what they did.
That bomb plant was super clean, didn't get any chick, no chance of a spam.
And then they fade ult, get aggressive because they're 4v5 down.
And if they let NRG retake on them without getting proactive, they just lose.
That's huge bender, man.
Two to two
NRG invested with an Odin and an operator in the previous chance and the economy's not looking good at fury
I have a chance to get a real snowball done
completely moving away
I don't know how's the adults and the reason I really fight over that a main area this time. It said just send it
Why not? Well, yeah, I think the right side
I've deep right I've deep right
I expect spacing of Utah.
Sammy, do you want me to come?
Oh, no.
Oh, cringes, please.
Come on, boy, let's go.
Oh, no.
Yeah, a little corner, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, a little call out.
One thing I really enjoy though is, I mean,
you expect that, I think, from players at this level,
but there's a level of seriousness,
even when they're going up against the Eco.
Yeah, I was wondering, actually,
whether they knew 100% that this was going to be
He killed killjoy all they can play retake be easily don't have to worry about so balls or anything
And here you're predicting that and are going to be anyway
Others full rushing be here they just know that these guys are gonna play retake with assaults
Free ball plant and then killjoy all comes in do they counter astral wall and
reflooded after the killjoy
All it's early. That's too early. I think
Here comes the reastral right they are gonna do it
bit of the ground. I like meeting a lot of damage though and Kiko's looking down at one
area towards back holds. Jump spotting. We can put it in for over. Not aware of the corner.
Oh my god, you should not get a third. Okay, second sorry. Kiko's farming low
teams. From long range again. It's an agility advantage in a spot like this, but potentially
turn it a tide. But it's fine for the smokes and a pull now being played for.
It's a lot of damage done. Man is weak. That's big. Walking the town. Odin in
his hands. Flanding where does that play? Oh no! Hold on, no! You find this
Oh
Not enough it's nervous stays a day yo down to the energy retake was really good there
I was so weak going for that diffused
Where he was the one to be sticking on to it
Staring down into smoke
And unfortunately the rest of energy weren't able to defend great play by nerf there and also great awareness
No, dude, did we say that's Brock's fault for not just staying and holding the pillar there?
That's the only angle that guy can die from
He can't give that angle up, huh?
Fuck such a small mistake and that's such a big deal now because energy is broke
He has to hold that that was theirs
Like energy like that retake was really good really well-spaced
I mean it got into a decent situation but took a while dealing with things and it's not like Furious
composition is the most keyed up for post-plans you know they're not the ones running the
table for example Leo Astra with the killjoy would be even more devastating to get through.
Wow what a kill though. The read from Furious would just rush B knowing Kiko's gonna play
retake anyway and then they re-asked her wall to give themselves space to come back in.
I like that call a lot
Like a lot
They have been in a situation where they're needing to spam to deny the plan over towards A or in this round playing retake on B.
These are hot spots!
The players the on-laner. Oh yeah.
Most of the early rounds involved some kind of skirmish here on A.
This is where NRG looked to fake it.
Okay, just saw that NRG aren't fighting for A main, so this should be free for Alarm.
He's not taking this to be, he has bomb too for some reason.
Oh, they were trying to bait NRG into a mid-peak off that a main pressure
Nice kill, Adam. Wow, bro, insta-traded
Insta-trades again, bro, they know B is clear now
I don't know how he gets away with that, I actually don't.
He's so low though, Tail ult.
Tail ult vs. Neon ult.
And they can just play back.
No smokes for Diffuse, yeah, round over right?
No smokes for Diffuse, no AWPer holding the line.
I mean, if they clear backhaul?
They could tail ult long and defuse.
Well, I'll go fuck myself all night.
Well played.
Good ult there, my Allen.
Yo, Furia is no joke.
Words I never thought that I would say.
winning these rounds by getting into post-bun scenarios and then playing the
situations beautifully you never did the bottom of you well you clearly not a
dedicated watcher because I clearly did
a lot of people I think we're gonna we're looking at not all the maps that
would not all five maps fucking geek no course not straight it's some serious
ability one year later but he did okay yeah to be fair it was late it was later
than I said it would be but I did I watched all the maps that Furia one
They're fast as well to make decisions. Yeah, everything that demonstrated a kickoff was fundamentally sound. It wasn't just being carried by
Holy fuck though
This is the first time honestly in I don't remember the last time I saw energy
losing like this on pearl
Even paper X can't do this shit
Drilled I think fundamentals of the team we use that word a lot we toss it around and sometimes it loses meaning
Oh, yeah, G2. Oh, yeah, fax, fax, fax, fax. But G2 always beats them. G2 has a 7-map pool versus NRG.
That's just big bro.
Yeah, not even big bro, that's just daddy.
teams right now running very similar compositions to the one that energy
worth pioneering when it was anti matter back in the what's the adjustment
for energy here oh mid-flight mid-flight here we go
Operator man is punished immediately
YOOOOOO!
Even right there the stun will barely serve him down
but an instance rock wait he's a last line of defense into that area but even
he has to retreat and still be
OH MY GOD
you get a bit overzealous yeah that one is an overfight
he heard the prowler connected wanted to confirm the kill
It's still a player advantage from fury and they get so well at the start of this round
That disrespect nation they saw the two players of that visit nice that position by Kiko. He shall take a flank
Wrapped it. Oh boy. Here we go. Here we go
Yeah cross there was
Rockets ace
Fury is a little bit harder
that that could well be curtains in this map honestly for energy not winning
that round the opening peak from Mara got destroyed and then the follow-up
skirmish over to the top still ended up going in fury is fine it's the repeat
from school but who's got a goose I got the ball by the way scuba zero and six
like there energy easy even getting a chance to shoot their gun back but
it's just not a bullet the fact that some of these crucial moments there
They're all going away if you're here coming
Well, I know I said he wasn't gonna walk on the Phoenix like I'd sing children. Yeah
So far ahead of terms of the money, but
Fury I have to play in it goes wrong really because
Space and be long energy have asked for a wall energy. They have
That's warm alarm bots gonna be triggered early. Okay, this time energy no for a fact that it's towards be
They've heard it. They've heard noise over in this area and the table drone is cleared fully out over to what they
Hey alarm bots behind him and then he's gonna go kill to a else
They're very obvious round energy knows exactly what you're you're gonna do
Using a situation like this, I need one place but open the drone as well broken up
They're gonna use astral about the whole pitch wayl a alt immediately as the bomb goes down
But with so many players stacked over here. They don't really want to be playing full retake. They still slow
They're not using a killjoy alt just walking in instead. They know NRG's here. They have to know
No, they have to pause again. Honestly. Yeah, they have to pause again. They have to win the next two rounds.
Wait, why didn't we not? Did Adam Waleigh-Old? What did he- what did he Waleigh-Old?
Just this? Did he- did he ult this? Just this line?
job is to pull out the passive position to close it where is it?
Rollcat no awareness the back hold is compromised too walks out through the heavens
and didn't realize that he'd been seen completely right
come on let's see
I mean the phoenix off is so weird yeah the phoenix off is weird but yeah whatever you're up 17
talk that thing into time then hope your panel's fun thank you thank you thank you thank you
It was great. A lot of walking, but very fun.
Lunatic thing into the tier one.
Yo, Furia. Jesus, they came to play.
And this, by the way, should have been their least favorite map in the series.
It goes to show what a month can do.
This is NRG's map, too.
I actually don't even know what to say.
This is, they are getting old.
It's always reminded people that Furia
kind of a door for on this map when we saw it from them earlier in the year.
It was one of those...
She ain't got anything at the time.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
appreciate that kind of look a little bit nervous over playing his hand on the
neon they looked a little uncoordinated and they didn't they didn't want to go
back here very often now they've left it open in the veto and you can see why
yeah well there's rewalk back into a man's nobody here perfect read again
I mean this is a slow going as you can get very methodical always trying to
think about all the pieces wow wow look at this time they've been tracking the
economy
They could still easily get bummed down here. Look at Alam
Oh my god
That would have been heroic
Okay, NRG you got it
as large watching all of these players is only so much in the
room from a spot like this to pull just use what he's being
pressured by too many players and not enough people with Alan
if their plan was to go triple uh only round where fury
get themselves like we're backhaul area kind of mess up
the execution and then eventually triple push through this
wall that would have been insane and it wouldn't
work to counter the skills we all bring it through secret
no noise queues given because it's because of the life
almost a beautiful play
I'm worried for NRG with how passive they're playing on defense
early on in the half they were fighting over a main
but didn't really take like solid skirmishes
now they just sat back it feels like
Fury have bullied them into submission
well that's all they're ults
EU's one away from fatal
wow just walks in
Checking the money seeing if he's got an operator. It's having it like what are these reeds?
Yeah, as much space as they possibly can last couple rounds. I've just come type you three a man and call that
Now G's bluff deep drone is gonna be used by the people not so early, but already to hit my start is on through
from the spirit
Thank you
is going to be dropped that's beautiful from Kiko bro staying alive like this
That's it now left in an impossible scenario 1v3
overfinding from furia
Smackdown and punish here in this one. Well played
recovery in the half to some degree
They needed those two. They needed those two keep it competitive. Good job. Long card didn't even pause there
I think I think he still has one pause left speaking that is a dominant half from furia
They're gonna be so pleased with that, you know.
Maybe he is, but they ensure the NRG don't get into the game.
And they think it's the prime.
There we go. We're warmed up into it. We're warmed up into it.
That's what it's about. If we're clearly keeping a chip of mentality, morale is up for NRG.
But we'll see which way this pull-up goes on the other side of this.
I mean, NRG can easily come back with the pistol round here.
You've seen them come back from way worse.
already med. Red Bull gives you wings.
I think those two stops the players during half-yes.
I was lagged there, I'm very sore.
Hammies are sore.
Koi, thank you for the prime.
L3, thank you for the prime.
Joy, thank you for the prime.
Appreciate it.
I hope you like my home Vancouver.
Whereabouts in Vancouver are you?
But it was nice.
Angus Beef, thank you for the run.
NRG comeback? Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised at this point, especially if they went pistol. If Fury went pistol, I'd get it, like, it has to be closed out.
I'm just really impressed by how well they played. Also, their like anti-strat reads really good.
Like, how do they know? Two rounds, they walk contact at A main and just dry cleared it.
How did they just know NRG's not there? There was no, like, tells that I could see.
There's a dominant half of fury here, but we're not willing to count out energy just yet
You don't become world champions by sheer luck and they've got that grit and resilience
They've done it before they know what it takes to come back into maps like this and already
Rich mini now popping off in the coaching booth. I think we're rich men
Yeah, I think that's an incredibly important point energy are a difficult team to put away
Even when you get an advantage over them, Mike
Thank you for playing really great to make sure that you actually get the map victory in the end
So
Fury on their defense side. They've got lots of opportunity here with a new composition energy haven't seen before
Don't know exactly how do you see that? Like the UBC campus. It's gorgeous and it was a nice day out to when we went
Interesting and you guys have this hot-pot place like the
Somebody
to take advantage of the timings that have been taken. Evens said this way. They don't
know this guy's amando. Not quite the best weapon for the job, but it gets it done in
the end. But artisan, this is what energy shines right here. This mid rounding right
here. The Torah baits these rotates coming over. And now all three of these players
are over towards the A side of the map. He can cancel through the prime and start
pivoting back through to be decide to go for the A split. And this is how he
is an IGL ends up messing with teams. Can Furia get the read? I'll leave. I'll leave.
You can't stay stacked unless you're really confident in the retex, but against scooper and
Ethan, that's not tough.
Oh, he heard that.
He potentially heard it from the drop down and now making all the noise of the wall.
It's smoking the face of Alan. He hears the contact play occurring.
There's some teams in there. He's going to be calling for reinforcements.
He's going to kill Ethan. Oh my God, good trade.
Oh my god, he's walking back. What a play.
Oh, that's perfect. It's actually perfect. I mean, Brock is just dead.
Oh my god. Oh my god, Brock.
Oh my god, Brock.
wondering what it could be. Alam's position spotted Alam. No, there's anything in Brawk!
Just missing a mark there! Alam! Onto that high ground, never removed and he denies it all.
What a map from Alam so far. A far cry from the debut pearl that we were talking about earlier
on where he struggled a little bit. He's grown into himself here with all of the success
next day in Malin. I mean, yo, they're playing so fucking well. Yo, Adam is like, by the
way, the best player on Pearl for this team every time. I have never seen him 3-11 on
pearl before one of those positions where you got to plant down you got a bunch of
kills think about energy going for a force bomb but they don't bother
bit of exploration towards mid very spread though from the rest of the team
here and just one smoke off seeing how much they can get away with it is it
much deeper a landbought than normal it's not gonna be catching that lurk
into lane but there's a level of awareness from fewer already yeah
is. It comes down to if these two players can choose to fight for one or the other
instead of getting stuck in this area and then getting pinched. Because these
guys are gonna fake B and then it's gonna be an arc school.
Or these two are gonna fake B.
Oh my god. Look at this read. The Killjoy is just like, yeah, it's just not the...
They just fucking know!
It's fucking amazing, right?
Yeah, right, you're getting that word.
They're not just good. This is like great. This is insane how well they're playing
So confident in their game plan
I dude I feel like there's a tell that energy has that I personally haven't seen because I've watched the boss or anything
That furia is exploiting. I'm not joking. How do they just know?
them.
Now the group up NRG, sending everything towards this A main, my balance already gonna be way
ahead of this, it's forced out of practice, nice and early, the bullets shredding potentially
up into the corner, shots going back and forth wildly here, no casualties just yet.
That's where KualaNum's Molly is so good, denies anybody from following up on Mada and
KualaNum secures the orb.
Quick reaction from NRG.
They kept A main, NRG's not, they're playing on retaking A main at some point
at least pressuring it because then are you just keeping simple it simple here just art split
you're making a lot of noise here not scared to show presence but cruise on the energy late
five years five men be over towards be long and so I was in I think he's still energy is
assuming there's a guy on the deep line right now they're not like it's holding this and
they want to push this line back I think that's what they're waiting for I was in
thinking there's no drone Ethan would definitely be tailor droning be long if they would
genuinely coming be
40 seconds roughly on the clock here
I don't make the moves and now here it is a tail drone. Are you were talking about and I guess finally fury has the wrong read
As soon as the tail energy did enough in the mid-round
So it to keep them free
Holy
Okay, preemptive matter just spawning it just in case flee where the dangers that could be looking at the corners
But EU speaking of the dangers. He is some that for now
huge kill man he would have been traded anyway but yeah round over
insta-save from Puria good decision wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
Ethan's very low, Ethan is very low
oh yeah it's bonus you are right
same as done though he is saving his gun smoke support well I know it's pretty
happy about that gets his ult online for the next one yeah I was just saving
gun in spawn okay job damage being done here I'm done brother
really good oh my god John's done falling my god what's around with energy
yes but fear you're doing significant damage on their bonus yeah it doesn't
feel great for energy it's a must-win round and they get it on the board but at what cost
fury could even think about picking up an outlaw in the next you know that a bunch of these energy
players gotta be on light armor or give up a ton of utility oh boy here comes the outlaw
lady we're seeing the art scene's read is correct right this outlaw is gonna fucking murder over
towards be alone until he is drawing until that be long and this is one of the big
differences between these two teams fury a compressor energy assuming that they don't
change that composition energy can't really do that off actually no I love
right here's the drone does this inform the rotate again versus team there's a
theory I stacked up in for a minute and Suez but we'll find out
the first time I've seen them do something a little absurd all the
One by one. Oh, Ethan. Oh, Ethan.
Let's go bro, let's go!
Harry, shut up, Harry! See that flick bro?
Let's get a bit hectic in the corner.
I need to see how Ethan got two kills there.
Calm down, calm down.
Yeah, I think it's also important that Mada was calling when the rest of his team should scale.
I need to see how Ethan got these two kills.
Also, the op and the decision to swing the op in order to get the punish,
because you know that the op will not be something you...
That's what it was.
Such a big round put in a win man. Such a big round. They're all on half-armor
Why did he go for Op instead of Outlaw? I actually don't know. I thought that was an obvious Outlaw. I'm not gonna lie
deficit but the next one should be easier. Money knocked significantly for Fury in here.
You're right. Four rounds can quickly be evened up in teamwork energy because the caliber
of play is, we're talking about it, grits resilience. It's okay though. One mistake
out of all the rounds they played for Mardzan. Strandy, think of the two of us. Also,
that was perfect scaling for MNRG2s. He does want to use it if they get into a position
A lot of teams probably just no con there and go through the smoke one at a time.
They did it all together.
Chank, thank you so much.
Oh my god, they just keep going B over and over again.
That was all matter. Yeah, it's a row medicine. It's basically the exact same situation again. Yeah, and Ethan's already escaped
So this is a round for furious should be to be a free round energy and they're back just like that
Different layer to it in the next because right now Ethan's identified. They can go beyond a fast time
I'm down and maxing a couple of these orbs walks can have the alt
You'll use it in future rounds
Koala noob on earth would love a kill
And a death in order to get closer to these ultimates that are super good for retake
Just fully ready for this flank as well
Now I'm just trying to pressure
It's about to be free
This flank is my pull attention towards and rest of his team also alongside and you right his ult
Left to build up to them in a big way but around like this
Just ready to missile as soon as the guy gets contact
A few moments, Salvo's maybe to just flush them out
Group him from the high, he knows, his even is gonna go-
Oh wow
Oh. Oh wow.
Oh my God, here you are so annoying dude.
Like how annoying is that for energy?
He's good man. He is fucking solid. They have Astral to retake here. They have you on ult as well
Good ult for energy as well
Whoever wins this round lose the game chat calling it now
A-split just a standard A-split
We have to get out of there stuns fast dying and all just gonna be used to see if you can get the house
And play this time play his life. They can clean the a split now. Only two guys here
This should be a free bomb plant not free but
Good damage with some Molly man. They're delaying well
Can Archie's gonna mid round again. They know that be pushes still completely open places
But might be meeting you he's gone for a bit of exploring. This is not fangirl from him
This could be everything right now, but he's just unable to get to kill
Oh
Ethan oh Ethan you're calling is this solid brother
Oh my god
The A split fake cancel into a door like street control, get a kill, re-hit A.
Wait what?
Wait what?
Nah Ethan, that's not even on you.
Ethan perfectly called them to the promised land and then Brock just said fuck you and killed them
I mean, she recognized they had actual and they were probably going to use it so he had to play aggressive I think is like the main thing
But what a call either way w call an insane retake from period but insane like god call from Ethan
That was genuinely like the best example of the most perfect route like mid-rounding
Difference between these two teams is the fury. We're pretty much immaculate in post on bouncing on it again. All right
Well, he's gonna be used though slow and down the approach any attempt to time
Matters in there
in the
way that he
was going to two places waiting for us to dissipate one of the
, boy of my fear of the full stick
Cute idea. They are nasty. We've seen them run it one time before that
I remember tiny little gap in the Cosme divide get the plant down in theory as well
You should be able to throw the Nana swarms and they're much more difficult to break to
I think actually fury got rid of them fairly early on
I think there's no final layer to that
To pass it in the position for energy god damn takes a tack time out because there are now fire
I have to give it to the longer ref like
It's hard to beat energy like this
They're calling well, they're putting themselves in good positions and furia just doesn't give a fuck. They're just better
The money's also been bad in these last couple of rounds and it's not getting any better friend
this is good if they are to make a comeback and force this to over time this is
one of the most difficult rounds from the board
there's no alternative to work with yet no ultimates maybe full dark guardian
stingers I'm looking at right now no one's got enough money to even buy a
single rifle now it's gonna be half-arricous of board if Furia
they have quite good at this what is the energy doing wrong it's less that
than Furia just retaking on them like energy's getting the site
Post-plans don't seem like brain dead or anything.
Fury is just fucking perfect.
I think I can count...
Only twice I've seen Fury making a mistake individually.
This game, they are playing near perfect.
So quick drone from NRG again, very much all limbs, four players from them, just make sure
group's up towards B.
Pressuring B, faking the B-paw, Killjoy has mid still, turret has A main, so NRG know
they haven't pushed anything.
They're likely stacked B if they haven't pushed anything else.
Leave sova
Inserted be and then they split be
This is the a fake into a B split they're gonna go through fish to down street
I mean look the calling is good, bro
If club night had half these calls no pressure Jordan, of course like on the coach as well, but it is just one man
And maybe you tilt
Already yet doesn't really feel real enough
You can already see the rotation of bounds by Alan is gonna be okay. Just hitting it
I was gonna be just sitting into his own two solos, but that's his head just walked out
Clean up the shoulders
Sliding and gliding to the side
Just take it you deserve it for it at all. Take it to the party is brought you have played perfectly fake. It's the fuse
You've already stuck now with full safety in numbers. That's in
It is a damage! Oh my! Almost a wall!
Fufuriah get it done 13-7 on an opening map in this series, squint!
Coming up next...
What's crazy? That game was, what, 13-7?
NRG did not play bad. That's what's insane about that.
They just got dipped completely. Like, Fufuriah is that good.
The true definition of a dark horse. The whitest fucking horse I've ever seen. It's a Unicorn.
Dark horse. What do you mean dark horse? They played perfect.
What's crazy, I'm not even kidding.
I can't stake this even, like I can't overstate this.
Energy did not even play bad.
They genuinely played well above average.
Like overall playstyle was, and they got run over.
Like that's how good Furia were.
No troll.
Okay, I'm gonna ban the word boing for my channel. I have to get tired of this shit
like energy took map control well very well okay if they went be at the start of
the round they only did that like to pop be on like a killjoy all around but if
they went be at the start of the round normally they would leave one guy there
They're just fully leave. What was the one round that I liked that they called? What was it? Fuck. What did they do?
Was it B pressure early into leave B?
What mid-round was it? Where did they go? The re-hit A. Yeah, perfect, genuinely perfectly called round, and then they just get
annihilated on the retake.
Like everything calling wise and movement wise the way energy was playing even
positionally and timing wise it was correct. They literally just got shit on
like somehow Ferry was just better.
They're like that nice.
Do you think Wele was the problem?
You're saying like no having no neon?
I mean it does help to have fucking El Limon neon doing this shit.
Not gonna lie.
She was frying.
How does a team like C9 become like Furia?
I don't know, just respawn as another human?
I don't fucking know.
All five players?
What am I looking at? Oh this? Oh my god.
Oh, energy block, fax. But let's leave it to the coach. This guy just needs to read
here or not. How are you so perfect Mr. Shaw? Explain. Infinity, think of it too.
We tried to fix some psychological problems. We have a lot of rookies in this team and I think we
need more time to develop in this part because when you are a hookie it's more difficult to
to understand some stuff.
But I think our team is very resilient
and we improvised a lot in these last weeks.
And I think we are good to this new meta.
For the rookie school, do they rely on, is it you?
Is it somebody else in the team or team for example?
Yeah, me and Art, we spend a lot of time
talking with the boys individually and in group.
And I think we create a lot of connections
and these help a lot in this process.
That makes sense.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for that, Dryad.
Great insight there from Coach.
Dan, Ardzin might be the most underrated caller
that this region has ever seen.
Like, C or no.
What's Sam saying?
Well, you guys want me to look at Sam for it?
Yeah, picked up a decisive win.
Well, you guys want me to look at Sam for it?
Sam's happy as fuck that he's without him.
Coach Shaw there talked about some of the challenges
that they had faced.
They're bringing in some new players into the fold.
rookies more importantly and this is the result that they're saying oh my god I
forgot the vlog that's what we were gonna do
okay let's go back because there's a lot of juice here
Like NRG just lost a map, and now we're watching this, you think the same thing is happening
Back there
I know we're fucked when these things happen because we're not police guys.
I even put extra emphasis on the history that I said once today to make sure we listen.
This has been four days in our own house where we've checked the fuck out.
Four days!
Guys, we played the G-Cut second year out of five. We fucking all know people.
Whatever you need to do, boys. Guys, it's not just a one-man problem.
Whatever you need to do to get back into your prime self for tomorrow, you do it.
I don't give a fuck what it is. You need to go out to party. You go out in the fucking morning.
I generally do not give a fuck. It's four days straight and I will be checked out.
I said it's fine, it's fine.
It's always interesting.
Now it happens in the official as well.
That is not okay guys.
We never played like this.
That was a... we lost to ourselves.
Honestly.
I'm not gonna say anything to say we had like a funny
insane game, battle, and a twist until you
won anything.
We just didn't show up to them.
We lost to ourselves.
Not gonna, I fucking love that kind of footage, you know?
Like, I'm so confused why I don't see more esports teams having footage like this.
This is genuinely so insightful.
Players might not like it fucking. I'm paying them. I don't give a fuck what they like and don't like if I'm in the
Oregon like if that camera is the motherfucking on
Nitchess
What you're signed a contract
Like as long as they're not going into strategy they can always cancel out strategy
That was the one thing we had as a clause in our contract every time don't have a camera in or there shouldn't be anything
Obviously that relates to our strategy in-game everything else is like, you know
Open to to to film and put out there
But yeah, I mean fuck those are I love that that should like
Can you release the footage of when you lost 12 to 5
What did we do? I think I insta went home because we were out. I don't think we had a team talk
Now because we have to go to the prac room obviously to like get our bags and stuff like
that so I did think we had a team talk but it was very brief it was just like a welp we're out
You know what I mean? Like what are we gonna talk about? We're out. Like the year is over
Life oh
Shit your chat. It was suggesting to us. So we w using it now because it's a w streamer
Makes total sense. Good luck. Fuck. I missed it. What do you say? God damn it?
Does it, Dan?
Does it?
All right.
Let's set a good coach on energy, yeah.
We'll be getting out of this sort of thing,
but very curious on those composites.
I mean, if this comp is coming from Twitch chat,
it might be Chris.
Well, you know what, Twitch chat,
you're going to enjoy some ads for now.
We're going to take your calls.
I'm a punishment for what you do.
All right, folks, we're going to take a quick break.
We'll be back with map two, Brandon's side show.
We'll see you on the other side.
I'm showing back into the action here between these two teams and split is the battleground
where they're both going to be facing off and for Furia they're off to an absolutely
incredible start to be honest. The map pick of NRG went their way 13-7 so Furia sitting
quite happy as they go into their own map of speed now we have to look at the
combos. What was referencing? Okay, the title goes wrong. Yeah, blame song. We
know to blame. Exactly. Everybody must unsubscribe from song. Oh, yeah. I mean,
do we blame song or do we blame song's chat? It was a little bit unclear, but either way,
the call for protest action. The deadlock is an interesting idea. On the
On the other side though, not a double-dualist composition coming out from Furia.
Instead, Artesine playing Vice, and you've got Koala Nu on Omen.
So, both teams making some adjustments to the way that they want to approach this map.
Probably both teams slowing down the game a little bit.
Furia used to be lightning fast, even though they didn't sometimes know how they would
re-fight over areas. Their odd usage was super clean on split as well.
But with these changes, I mean, based on the meta changes,
What greed aside these point in theory fury you have an advantage of split I would argue links
But the reality may be different and all eyes are gonna be on the deadlock rock on the deadlock as well by the way
So interesting
Deadlock g I mean it stops the neon in its tracks to be fair one good net
Yeah, that's true. Listen. What do I know? Oh, they fully anti. That's jiggle peak
Oh my god set play, set trap!
No!
Two!
Two!
I love that set trap though, from energy.
That was like start to finish set trap.
That was beautiful.
I get good call
Here we go, he's heating up
Call you deserve that round. I'll be honest. He did everything combined together for all five there
Broke actually walled off mother from reconnecting with the team by the way mother was forced once he pushed CT to actually wrap on the
but he was lightning fast with picking up that second kill.
That is beautiful.
Operator, we made a quick jump.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha.
Look at that.
I'm very excited.
It worked out in the end.
Well, he also threw the grab net very early on.
It looks like they're going to go for that again.
So if you're contesting...
Lightning fast, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I like that set called up.
If you throw a trailblazer in your face,
the grab net has actually been saved this time.
Are they going to fake this though?
Get the free orb.
Obviously, on the pistol round, he just threw it off the rip.
But if you imagine fighting into B main early on here,
Or even refighting now that the sonic sensor's down.
It's looking clean.
That is gonna be tough.
Yeah, it's looking real clean.
And that is designed to try to nerf koala nube.
Normally it is the defensive omen
who is gonna be fighting in that area.
Sometimes it might be Alan.
We've seen Neon's fighting that area too.
Unlike Kaplan, this guy, so...
But...
How's he gonna get straight?
I'm just trying to see some theory
on the couple rounds in from NRG
about why this comp would work well.
Acknowledgement.
Oh my god, it's an A-stack.
But knowing NRG, they're gonna somehow end up at B anyway.
Alan will have to respect it,
backs himself out meanwhile brook is just going to be yep it's gonna be the
other space here isn't it oh my god this is just the ego and it's a work of art
team especially the T ball into CT yeah he only has to be worried about a
single place and that was a smoke there I suppose they know I know I was gonna be
able to hear this yeah but also what what can we do unless no hold hold
hold hold it's weird so you have to know someone's walking to be they know
I don't even know that.
Why? Why? Why?
Oh, beautiful, man. Oh, it's disgusting behavior.
It's disgusting. It's really nasty.
He's being a nice counter to Neon too, but I think it's very easy to see how that graph
net would be very difficult to work out.
And they might have assists.
Look at the assist on the back of that.
No!
What?
He's one away from result, by the way.
They have to prioritize Orb here now.
But I think they're reading that Furia is going to fight the Orb here.
Could be looking for a chance to get it now with that rifle in his hands.
Here it is.
It's a free fire occurring.
Oh my god.
Bro, this team is fucking insane.
Well, this time Broke didn't actually get a Sonic Sensor down.
You killed.
My guy's coming back in.
Yeah, yeah.
We're gonna go for him.
We're gonna go for him.
One more top ramp.
There's two here.
Two eight.
Two eight.
Two eight, two eight guys.
I hear you.
I'm gonna go now.
Stay, stay, stay.
I'm messing the corner.
Yeah, I have ramp.
He's gonna go through.
Yeah, okay.
I'll leave her that though. Oh my god, they fully stacked it. They know it's not
I mean come on bro, this is insane
Oh
Someone's just gonna rush him now. Oh, it's a good save. Honestly good save
If you can get one more kill here, it's a really good round. That's fine, too
That is a massive play from koala that is so funny for Adam though the 2k
He coordinates everything and some out. He's the one that doesn't get through the wall
Get on the wall geo geo said don't fuck yourself up
One goes down.
I think it was Ethan just saying, every now and then he adds in, I hear you.
Yeah.
Just making sure there's confirmation to it as well, making sure it's just not going into the void.
Calling him though, definitely making it around when you play that.
Yeah.
That comes to be honest.
What?
Decided to fight into him.
Coordinated everything perfectly.
Snake pied this time up towards B main instead of the grab.
Control laser.
Hmm.
Yeah, that's uh...
the
How is this round not perfect?
It's high low perfect.
Scuba's good for these though I think.
Oh he has his orb as usual.
The trusty orb. This guy has it on him at all times.
He could fake the rotate as well.
The problem is, the more that he hangs around here,
the less... the more static you are,
the less information you get about which areas of map are actually safe.
It's really unlikely though that Artizena is going to be pushing down mid and behind you at any point.
And Scuba's going to go back into B.
The same concerns are going to be...
There for arts in wondering where scuba could be but I'm gonna get the
It's much but soon. Yeah, it's easier to play for us. I think oh wrong read
I'd be able to hear it scuba is fully pushed. He's just trying to get any sort of clever. Oh my god
I think scuba might have played himself everything is empty, but now yeah, I'm just gonna be hearing it
You're not walking about having here if you scuba and it comes out of this
Which player finds who first to drop down on his in hot his rightful train if he had planted
without having to spawn clear and then he wins but he just neither player knows
where the other guy is honestly it's just like full luck based at that point
huge round for Arbson to win that it's huge for Furio to be able to bring this
back by the way this was like a full energy round it felt like they had all
of the main control the split was looking good and then Furio did such a good
job of fighting one side of the split
Stop them from going through on the B split. Yeah, one danger with the deadlock wall ended up cutting them off from male
It's a cool for the pause and we're seeing it again outlawing the hands of Kuala do
Goodbye is it or two rifles for energy
Okay, a little a ramp pressure
brings three guys
What a kill Andy gets out what a kill Andy gets out
Oh my okay
Madam a bill he's going through the thorns has to dodge the bullets
It isn't saying I have to admit it. I have to genuinely admit it this guy is insane
danger player that rifle but he's all the way over towards a calling the players to move
over towards him especially if I'm with that spike bouncing on it yeah I'm
bouncing I'm bouncing I am bouncing on it but energy is fucking he deserves it
breath holy crap guys so good making moves that's a lot of you said if I'm
just thinking about Maxon at this point we also get seekers if you get to plan
down I mean they know that the asian is completely open at this point it's
the weaponry there's a problem yeah
there are a lot of coordinating everything isn't it better to just say overall
strat no because you have to micro in that situation because you don't want one
one guy to get separated and then lose the round because of it right
something you can control so you control with your controls so in that sense micro calls are really important
huge micro all
rare mistake from Dan there not gonna lie small but very rare
You have seekers you might just went around. Oh, here it is and the rifle picked up Westbrook found this one
Reclaim dancing
Six cents for it. He's always got his eye
I still think energy is could be but this the surrounding now period
We'll try and find what these players might like. It's really good though. I can't even learn a game of instincts just spanning onto
Then I get it and I'm sure the
eviscerating it's dragging them scuba
I am up to it. I am an off of this test. I
I am genuinely not I'm not gonna blame Brock there because one guy ran out of
rafter why would the second guy just be staring so I guess he's holding the
ramp the ramp wall okay fair enough Brock did go a little too early he
should be last contact you really should to be fair you're right you're right
if you're arguing that you're right brock gotta be third contact you're
right actually it's very clean from fury of that
Rok is one away from getting his deadlock ult online
I think that's an ultimate that can actually be really useful on the attack
side swap up to the defensive setups to instead of looking to potentially play
aggressive in B main they have our team covering that it's the same center they
had on a prior round keeping it simple
money don't still being strained is unbelievable and again it's furious
opting into these outlaw buys just trading hands with the EU don't as well
I know she's gonna get a fucking full post plan here
yeah it's the perfect team to use into energy love the light armor
trouble is it up for subtracting because of the alloy extra oh never
mind
yo yo yo yo yo yo dad you're low
oh no he's mid
you
you
you
you
you
I
Lean terrorized people on waylay and now he's terrorizing on me. He's a terrorist
Okay, is that? No, just follow us through and nobody over-drive.
It's easy pickings, isn't it?
Alts expended at the end of the day, but a round win for Furia.
One more added to the tally.
The set play is so sick.
NRG call attack timeout, and they're trying to figure out what the adjustment is supposed to be.
And Furia respond with a very...
I mean, if Bunker calls the timeout,
all he can really say is what he's been saying in the crack room, right?
in the in the champs moderator or in the Santiago where you kept saying guys if you don't know what to do
just do our default into our setstraps right that's all they can do that's all energy can fall back on
default into a setstrap they cannot default so all that's left is setstraps start to finish
whatever they did on pistol round they actually need to do start to end exit
They got him. They got him. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
It's just karma coming back to Michael. Double outlaw of being used here as well by
Koala and Ubin EU. Reading into the economy knowing that every single player on NRG cannot
afford full armor. Trouble is looking to secure a bit of a path
forwards up towards A, but the vice-setup has now moved and shifted once more.
I'd be able to hear it a little bit, just to stop the hum, I think, because I'm taking
that round of control, but... even when the player's inserted, and our G, it's a round
where they have that first kill advantage and they're not looking to waste it.
They are going to be stalled down though if they're trying to go into this one.
There's only 40 seconds left, I gotta say.
Yeah, I think I was eating the ultimate. Oh my god a split have a staking here a split. Yeah, there's two a
What an old
Good pause my energy, but now you're you know exactly what energy going to do
They have two people on the A bomb site still 15 seconds left down and out
This is gonna be really chaotic to the final few moments down to the elbow play you just swing it out
Why not?
It is perfection.
It is perfection.
The alt timing into the thorn timing is perfect.
What can they do?
It's literally chess fucking kiss.
Yeah, really struggling. I think their attack side calling was actually still fine on pole. They just were getting beaten up
Here was seeing some some rough parts
You get harder, I don't mean double out. Well, I'm a judge in play that is some devious work from fury. Yeah
Both the week your work guns. I mean listen
It's no armor on line here to NRG they are open tough
But it feels like they're just lacking options. Okay if bonka calls another pause. It's just let's just exit
B exec or A exec, start of the round, that's it.
There is no defaulting involved.
Maybe one guy lurk up mid while we pop B,
or one guy lurk up mid while we pop A.
That's it.
No, they don't want to come up with answers.
Even when they're down.
At the moment though, they are really strong.
That's all you can do, straight up.
It's a difficult composition to push into.
You can just, you can just a little hurt
and just push it into the mine.
Flash will connect, but again,
there's plenty of players, but I can't drum.
Yeah, that's not an enemy to mince me.
It's such a nice kind of mixture of,
All right, ideal timeout here into just, let's just exact.
Let's win these next three rounds just exacting.
NRG needs to go do their pistol round strat again.
Not even getting by the way.
Or fake their pistol round strat with two guys walking up mid.
And flanking middle.
No timeout.
If you just zoom out big picture by how the fury a look after taking a little bit of a beating at Santiago
They know time out both of those matches, but I actually thought they played fairly fine
Yeah, I don't think they choked us on the other they just came up against difficult competition
They've come back in here and just continued the excellence from kickoff
They've yet to lose to an America's team this year. They keep it building keep it rolling
Look at the keep the trend going in this open a matchup
Fiora has all the bots on energy and while energy has almost none, I mean more bots but
Fiora has bots as well.
Like I know energy has more bots of themselves playing because they made it farther in Santiago
was. Curia was an energy. Terrorist down once again. 4v5. Let's see how perfect Curia can
be. So perfect. Oh my god! How? How? How are they doing this? Again it's a blend of defensive
aggression with the youth energy dog against them.
That's unbelievable. I can't believe the presence of mine for nerve to just ignore the trailblazer and take the flight against a player
Yeah, it's really your sacrifice for a control break the dog again
I didn't go back for the second player. They are getting two players in a situation where you shouldn't be getting
Easier job of it because nerves already done so much bonka is molded. Yeah, I don't blame it
These fury players are unreal right now. I don't even know if I could blame energy players right now. I can't
Okay, energy is not allowed to lose this round maximum
That's a big kill, that's a big kill, it's the only D player.
Oh my god, scuba huge.
but against scoopers away the street pastoral wall they're trying to fight them all the way forward
as the kill claims before the old release trade that out and you use looking to see if you can get
a breakage on this all the way okay really they won the round they got the round with all their
ults now add a chance they have to get 840 walled off from the rest of the team these rounds have
descended into a little bit of madness but maybe that's where energy need minus what it takes
It's kind of slower, which hasn't been working.
Yeah, so just rip an Omenal into their spawn.
Reborn here, two players pass their own wall.
Two players pass their own wall.
It's just, uh, nutty.
The least unexpected play.
But also, this is exactly how the first half of Perl went, right?
NRG only won the pistol, and then got it together from rounds 11 and 12 to get an A4 half.
Okay, I rinse repeat.
Yeah, Furia have been in the majority of these, like, rifle vehicles.
I knew Furia was still evolving, brother. This is a mega evolution. This is like, they're perfect.
I've never seen...
energy lose like this.
Playing well and losing.
Having a bad day and losing shit.
One who once you're there you should be able to leave for the position scuba
Very winnable round very winnable round for energy right now. This is a really fucking good all for scuba
get back into it 33 but the time is 33 seconds on the clock Kiko does have that
control of the side now it's fully clear the move on
okay no pit but a decent post plan with decent positioning the plant itself is
not optimal and look at this doesn't look like how energy plays to be honest
look harder bro I don't know what to tell you holding I think he knows
they're overall playing well sure little mistakes here and there but
Fiora is exploiting all of them.
It's possible all the rest of his team is covering all the appropriate angles and he's just waiting for the rest of the pieces to fall into place.
Again, the post-plant play is way better for Fiora.
Oh, this is unreal.
The timings that they find and the ways that they exploit these crossfires for NRG, they've taught them to pieces.
It's an even better performance than what we saw up front.
It is perfect.
There is no other words to describe.
amazing how the company currently playing yes there are things energy can do
that but they are playing above average Valorant and absolutely getting owned
yeah he really did own Madder the Madder's at a rough one nine three in the
half urea are just dominating the reigning world champions strong as
smiling right now oh dude ear to fucking ear oh wow
Strong is doing enough smiling for him, himself and Sam, because Sam's not allowed to smile
on stream and show that he wants them to lose.
Red Bull gives you wings.
I'm kidding.
Sam actually doesn't want to lose.
every map. See what you say.
Yeah, Cloudy. The thing is like us energy players and us energy as a team
like we have respect for the game so we don't want to you know like do things
that makes the game worse aka play neon judge all day. Okay. What about the
I think after this loss he can't use that one but he can't use that they don't
want to respect us cloudy hey next week we're playing neon every single map neon
Odin op shorty judge all day starting next week okay okay if you're not gonna
respect the game that we love, then we won't either. Simple as that, Kaudi. Simple as that.
I'm not gifting you guys 20. I don't care.
You don't agree that these comps energy hazards are too readable?
Even if you argue that point, energy are playing the overall map correctly.
They're getting the correct amount of information. They're exacting on good timings.
things. Their scaling isn't even bad. Which, which tells me they're not playing terribly.
You know what I mean? They are simply getting out. They're just destroyed by the better
team at this, at today.
Yeah. Occasionally, I can impress you. This is going to be a real.
You're here arm making an above average energy because I'm saying, right, you're
That's how good they're playing.
That's how good they're playing.
Oh, he's so committed. He has a frenzy, man.
Wait, everyone's here, though. Everyone's here for energy.
Now, NRG, take it a fight.
Two of them.
Not a blinds.
Three of them.
Two of them.
Three of them.
Just snubs.
All the way back.
Low as anything, but he buys time and space.
Are you actually joking?
Where it hurts.
He's pulled back.
What did NRG do wrong there?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, stop.
What did NRG do badly there?
I'm actually curious.
He's pulled back.
Look, because they have done better.
The A-Sci had somehow put on a short team with a Mahana.
Again, by the way, it's E-Doo with an E.
with an incredible bunch of assists off the back of a scene.
Three seized players inside a smoke,
and Kuala Lumpur hops in and deletes all of them.
16 and 8.
Energy played it perfectly fine there.
And yet, they lost the round.
This has happened so many times today.
That's the way I think NRG thought that the weak one match would go and this is an important one.
We haven't really spoken about the big picture at all, but I think the winner of this one
is going to be a favorite for the top of the group.
You would imagine so.
Especially the way in which it's happened actually. If you were to close things out
in good fashion here.
Yeah, okay fine. The Ethan thing was like that position whatever he got locked.
they instantly traded him and flooded the site correctly and took fights
together and they still managed to lose the round because of how good Fury are
playing this is what I'm saying that's the story of this entire game it's been
like this that if they do come back over towards a he'll hit them and
potentially kill them however EU is not trying to decide an empty a site this
is ridiculous wait a while they are non-the-wise they're looking to put a
squeeze on the place because I'm not ready for the hip into be they got no
clothes look at the side of the line doesn't even they don't have a clue yet
he's found that window and now it dropped down to the floor big trade though
I don't walk at least response is gonna step forward still vulnerable that was
a wonderful energy have to win this round in the game is over just put him
into the grave but Ethan push flash and click back away yeah it's game over
it's wild out only so much you could do this hot like this and weaponry is
just again it's not ideal is it it's going forwards once I make a play
There's not so many things that you can follow.
This matter drops down though.
That's my execution style.
Hold on, Bucky in his hands.
No, I'm stepping forwards.
But it's all matter.
And he's responded to.
OK.
First big moment in his back front matter, actually.
OK.
One of the more unlikely ones.
He had a Bucky in a single blast path.
OK, there is hope.
But he saves NRG.
There's hope for the boys.
One lifeline to work.
Happy to be done.
Give it a kill from others even finds the perfect time Chris Paul with the huge three
Can they make something out of this they're still six rounds down it's energy guys you know
That's not cope to not count the mouse. They've been come back a lot
You looking like you wanted to buy down to it now, okay? Yeah
Forcing a bucky implies that he's looking to buy a judge in the next anyway and koala newb can get a vandal without having to
Take you in the next so
I'm range of the thorns
Santa lights loaded onto the site here's gonna use the pass. I just need to get the jump on but it's down
I'm going to be sent
At least finds his mark
Call a new base nevermind. Wow
Let's see pause here. This would be a very early pause or does he give them one more round?
Now if energy pay attention to the economy coming into the next round
They are going to know that Alim is running a judge and I think while there are plenty of things you can do
He's huge killed by Ethan on Allen.
Ethan dies there, Sight is theirs.
of the
one
of the
What is that? Transfer and control of the rifle odds in, single handedly just slamming
the door in their faces, cutting them out of the sights. Furia, rapid taking the sights,
immediately retreating into very strong close-point control.
Okay, so to be fair that retake clip made us fuck. That is the one time I will say
energy that was bad.
Immaculate from Furia.
It did look like disjointed, without a doubt.
I would say a little lost is just when you think energy. They're able to get themselves back into it. Yeah
Broke's wall ended up causing a bit of a situation for Kiko. There's also a vice wall
He has to get past Arnazine doing a great job. Look at this. It's so difficult for Kiko to have any impact from a position like that
But on the other side of it Arnazine even though he's finding value with his youthful behind the rifling in front
To help Alan was beautiful too
I mean, this team is unbelievable.
They are genuinely unbelievable.
Koala noob.
Fuck me.
Alene, like, all of them, all of them, fucking unbelievable.
early in half, even on a previous map, they were just immediately coming out with a brand new idea.
Yeah, so they had to counteract the conditioning, the field and energy
getting of the way that this game has been played.
Yeah. I think it's really bold as well for Furia to decide to...
You can't 5v5 Rethinks versus Vyperno, they have to early contest something.
Well, they were ready, but the Flood itself looked disjointed.
They were ready to just flood back in. But for some reason, they hesitated and looked like...
They gave them too much time to like position themselves for the post plan
That to be way quicker than what it was
Fabinho, thank you for the prank
happen and that also allows him to get this deep wall over to one day that's a
bit of a punish that's big
I mean this guy's just so in his own
Look at that call bro.
I
Okay, now listen, I know there's gonna be some discourse over to shut up in the middle of that but that's giving primate for this
Yeah, I agree
They've had a fascinating dog that created a lot of things for themselves.
Uh, and also, he's got a bunch of information.
I love the call from Kwala as well, man.
That's great!
They're going to dog-be-name, or mail-room, but just wait for that dog to not see anything
and then we repop.
They're genuinely perfect.
They're just going to be, uh, the mature, kind of calming influence on the team.
Yeah, the foundation of the team.
But you need some of the crazy energy, too.
This is Fury up to 12, and now, just one more round is all they need.
Walking up, they're gonna be hurt though, and the bullet's gonna be going both back and forth here
and attempt to the purple hole to be used.
Just mention me, bro, there's no blaze there.
Right now, when it's a Nade as well to respond, I think Walden was attempting to try and save his teammate.
It's not a spike, special delivery, yep.
Yeah, besides, this is an impossible round.
This is one of those where NRG's composition has worked perfectly.
They're gonna grab Nade with a Nade combo to get a kill,
and then follow it through with the deadlock ultimate.
I mean, perfection.
Exactly as some drew it up.
Yep.
I'll untread it as a result of it.
They're just trying to bring them over at this point, but yeah.
This is the kind of round that the funerate can just shrug off.
Yeah, that doesn't even matter.
You're like, alright, what does it matter?
We have another six opportunities.
It actually doesn't matter if they can just lose a strong clean hit.
One of the best teams in our region.
Yeah, we're chilling.
They've also got massive ultimates.
Either available or about to come online.
whereas NRG just used one of their best
It's a furious quaint content
So tight here. They have a lot of money. They could have made a play for you. It looks like it's fine. I mean, they just know it's not winnable
It's not trading. They're no more tired of it.
Playing with the rope. Yeah
The best thing for NRG to come out of this round apart from the fact that they got one on the board is that it
Oh, does he?
You said that!
You're here doing a little bit of damage in the background.
Yeah, might be able to pick up an upgrade or two, potentially.
Today? I'm not sure.
I mean, Dan will take those stacks any day of the week.
Yeah, you're pregnant to stick it to a guard.
You know how Dan is.
That's as good as it got.
There's that combo that opened up the gap.
Dan was drooling for those peeps.
And then it was playing so well with different players.
The ramp as well, aiding the race neighbors, it kind of tumbles down.
Help my gravity.
of
the flash of the city as well as the backside of the wall to
end the stock of the site
that's a really nice emphasis on little love that one defending as an omen if
you throw a paranoia into that spot and get the TP there's a lot of different
positions that you could be teleporting into but especially against
dualist compositions yeah should be a lot I mean Ethan's position is crazy off
the back of an early trailblazer and I think I mean Adam just gets a free
ass kill here they don't have enough you till the clear this they've
actually doing this quite a bit no you tell the clear this they used
everything in the b-side
That's fucked for scuba
That's actually fucked
might be if you really lose the next one coming up I wonder if split would actually be a good
enough if the fucking shotguns didn't exist I mean it was a good enough let's be real arguably
the best spot to exist in this game so this this round makes it real for energy in terms
of whether a comeback could happen.
I said arguably, you fuckers.
There's no spectator here.
They're not working the map.
They're just aiming to once more, a second to be.
This is how they played the attack side a lot on Pearl too.
Just going for pops.
Ready to get out.
Yeah, and we are arguing.
Look at this.
He's so dumb.
He's going to fall up in mail to stop a potential B split.
It's still a lot of control. There are three B for energy.
How will they fight B main together and mail room together?
Ken?
I know so many of your happy Brock was the one that died of that because you're still hating on the Odin.
I know for a fact.
I know for a fact that you're happy he's annoyed.
I'm going to try and have something to say about this, and with Mada combining their
might once more, that shows chopper, send it five forwards, to once more keep them alive.
He used kill by Ethan, man, massive kill by Ethan, killing the Viper there.
Barrelling into the Viper's pit and decapitating the Viper to knock it down, I think makes
the biggest difference here. That's a really nice play over towards Vank too.
They're hanging on by the skin of their teeth.
We said though that this was around a meeting real.
Yeah. If there could be a comeback.
Now Fury have got a bit of a weak buy.
They've got a half buy into this one.
Adizine's going to get a little bit greedy and go for a rifle,
but generally speaking these guys are half buying here.
oh yeah decides to go for the garbying in the end of the town great and i see you're still gonna play
golds is on you know right no mistakes
so far ethans been thrown okay she was good to play by himself there in case they push him
brocks there with the net they're relying fully on kiko to be able to hold this down
with the with the deadlock util it's a good setup i'm just gonna look for a little bit more
information on the jumpy. What? Okay. You have got to be joking. Crazy diamond scuba
is just putting you to it. Just trying to reposition. Drifting in and out. Bro, imagine
dying like that. You worked so hard to get your bike rolled and you died like that.
That is so annoying. Broke on his angle, look, they just sprayed him down. Make sure
Oh
Traits somehow getting away
But that against the Odin spammer brought difficult tidings here still garden sidestepped even though looking for the right timing with Kiko's kill
Claimed trying to find it
You just waiting right on the corner the Tp. Oh my god. Oh my god. They're in a bit of a
It's aware of the safety in here. We just said that once more drifting in and out between it
We use it to keep going matter. How many more miracles can they pull off?
I don't know why he actually stopped the TP there.
I think it's because he wanted to just get out of that site and then play the retake.
Maybe.
Maybe.
It's big.
It's big.
He's been great on the B retakes.
Big Nade as well.
He's going to have to be pushed out into the open.
Up top into the box with a safety, but time again.
Round one and kill.
Right here.
Bang.
Big Nate as well.
Round one and kill. Right here.
Ah, he has to let him half it. He can't let him half it.
He got it.
And a full stick and a save you once more!
How many times will it get away with it?
I'm telling you, you can't count them out, you can't count these guys out.
I thought they'd lost control of the court completely there.
They were so ponderous with the way that they decided to go for the retake.
Oh my god, absolutely needed to.
And the timing could not have been more perfect.
How does he mess it up slightly there for one?
I mean, he tries to push in just before he would get to half.
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
These rounds are ridiculous just to keep NRG alive.
They're clinging on, bro.
Actually clinging on with their little nails, their claws.
That is a more tense atmosphere that's brewing on that stage.
fury all smiles or laughs but
they're not too showcasing no such thing as an easy game versus them
absolutely not the fury will lose this one it'll start
sweating out there
smoke up once more scots they just walk into vents man look at them they just
walk into vents there's nothing other play with him to really help him with
any sort of rekeat in case so fury has the correct read on who's where
It's a deadlock's finally rotating to A. If you get seven times you can net.
It's huge that scuba keeps this area really, really huge.
Hey, yo!
Oh my god, it's just a battle now.
Did they just full anti? Oh my god, they're ignoring him. They're ignoring the...
It's a lot of it coming on to them now.
You see Adam trying to take that over.
It's matter.
Drops off towards the back.
Still the bullets.
He's got him doing the raiding, matter!
Absolutely unreal stuff.
Oh my god, they're actually doing it.
It's done enough once more.
It's broke.
That was a sick setup.
I'm not going to lie.
Now left into it, 1v3.
There's no real time to work with paranoia.
Go straight into the ground.
Go for the molds, apparently.
Still, it's not matter.
Oh my god.
They're fighting back.
Huge Adam turns off, bro.
as well from NRG.
Mada on top of the map, looking over to run some kind
of crossfire with Brawl.
Missed the timing a little bit.
Neil on the chopper, baby.
But in the end, he's got it done.
Using the blast factor, re-crititioning,
gets a second of the koala move.
That second kill was just everything.
I'm alive in this game.
And Furia now, the pressure is on that.
Let's go in the game, boy.
Let's go in the game.
Five in a row for NRG.
This game at some point was 12 to five.
They had seven chances to convert this match.
Where's my closer Dan?
I mean, he almost did close it when he killed Ethan down to Nail Room,
and then he got stand-by out of it.
Tense win, racked up by NRG, and Furia are on an eco-rap.
So, this has got all the chances in the world of going to overtime.
It's essentially gonna come down to one round.
Assuming that NRG can convert an anti-eco,
which sometimes can be difficult in sports.
Genuinely shocked this game is still going.
Good for them.
Why does that sound so condescending?
getting you across the line here but it's good for them they're not a boy
furia but i'd like to see furia come out of this taxable timeout i don't care
really what they do in this round would be eco but in the rightful round that
crucially is going to matter in round 24 i've got to see them not be as
one dimension in terms of where they're stacking people around the
map but the wall that got placed in the previous
round over towards b main kiko pushed out over
towards b and just informed everybody to stack all right i think
Adam has ult again.
Furya have to make him use this ult.
Furya may have to make him use this ult.
This round.
And the next round, Furya just full-executes Vaid ult.
Vaid ult, Ominol.
Maybe even Neon.
It's gonna be a force as well and are just ready for this exact. They don't even care about math control anymore
They're just playing full passive and playing for the exit because they have the result
They're happy playing retake two if they need to
I don't know if it gets to acknowledgement that they have lost control
I'm at odds with Fence. They probably do that ahead of time as well with this wall
Ideal world they they go into Adam Adam pushes them back with the result
They pivot to B into this step. They did this setup, but they're not doing any of that
peak they are just shoulder to shoulder basically here and they don't know how close
to oh what the fucking magician no what the fuck slips straight underneath and
all the way into the back the players it's disrupted a setup it's an instant
reaction from these energy players keep goes gonna be the guy having to win
the round over the top over the shoulder just to help out for Kiko the
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Okay got it.
But in the midst of it, it's brought it to the,
razor razor razor 20 seconds.
What can you do?
You have to tap bomb fuck with this guy.
I have plenty of time, you have satchels as well.
It doesn't matter how the showstopper should be the slam dunk.
40, let it go.
Way, way, Ellen.
That is perfection in motion for the final round.
to close it out against the reigning world champs.
Now, a no more disturbing of a player to pull up a brilliant final moment during this.
Alan was amazing all throughout my want.
And here, completely outplayed his mother.
That's unbelievable.
The guy that was keeping MRT into the whole time.
You couldn't find a better way of playing that situation.
Without question, the best team I have seen play this split.
So far, out of all the matches I've watched, it's not close.
Exactly how matter was gonna play that to be honest if we take a step backwards
It did take a big moment for fury and to finish but they were the team ahead for the whole day today
Yeah, it's unbelievable for me. They just come out swinging in this stage for the opening game versus energy
They want a credit to energy. I think they put up an astounding fight at the end of the day
Let's I don't even think no
I'm gonna be honest. It's very and I think that settles the question to be honest
If you still have doubts over MIBR over crew or left, I'm gonna say three is impressed me the most
Because I had low expectations or anything
However, I did I really thought they would fall off after split one, but that's not even the point
That's how perfectly they played against an a team an energy team that was not to playing that
If energy had a bad day, it's different that was not the case
they play for sure but there is a great argument of fury especially after the
win today might be the best team in the region especially when they're playing
in the region yeah very clear setups good ideas and how to set up
Alan Alan had an absolutely unreal this guy's on you as well so that's in terms of the first
kills for stuff
It is actually open. It really is. Yeah, I think that until how they were setting up Alex, you go to some
Do you think if he could just waited there, it would have been better last round? Just for time you're saying?
Yeah, a little bit, yeah. Slightness play for sure.
He should have played time when he saw where the Neon was.
But I think he was afraid the Neon was just going to be able to run him down and kill him, so he just took the fight.
But yes, he should have played time.
Just been annoying, you know? And then Adam just closes out the round with way less time.
less time. Like Alan has the negative time to play at that point.
I'm telling you like energy did not and I can't stress this enough.
We're not a bad team today. It's easy when like one team is just playing terribly and
and the opponent is playing really well, but when when energy is playing decently or like above
average it felt like, and then Furior is like 10 levels above still, not 10, but you know what I mean,
then it's insane.
We're going to be talking about
how you guys might be the best
team right now in America now
that we get the chance to see
it. But I want to ask you about
the growth that you've been
doing. How do you feel about
the team? And how do you feel
about the team? And how do you
feel about the team? Um, we
didn't really think too much
about the mistakes because we
played the map good like the
defaults for good. So when
you're like, we're doing
that, I think just a little
small mistakes at the end of
the rounds. So when you
would just do our thing
trust ourselves and we'll be
good. And you guys look
incredible to be in this. A
lot of people are going to
Let's get back to the growth that you've had.
We got the chance to see you in Challengers with Nerf as well
when you were playing for four.
And you guys were incredible.
But here in America, this is a different story
and you're still looking really good.
How do you see the growth for you and Nerf
as two plays that we're working together from then to now?
For me, it's kind of the same.
Well, I always like trying to improve,
make sure I'm on top of myself.
But I think it's not only me and Nerf going together,
it's like the whole team,
because we're new roster.
The more we play, the better we get.
And I can't really like specify. Oh, yeah me and never ever game better together
I think the whole combined team thing and there is something that shaw was saying as well when I asked him
Is that you guys maybe just needed a little bit more time together?
Yeah, and that is why everything is working out and it's something that we see
Can you explain why motto went for the balls after long tap when there was little time?
It's got our motto our thing because you don't want to move around. I guess I don't
I think we're having fun. Just close it out thinking too much about anything else
Maybe to get out and then play the pillar afterwards
If the guy slides away, then you play the pillar and then you just keep satcheling him off the bomb.
Use the ult without shooting it? Yeah, you could have like, fucked around for sure.
There's many ways to play that world. I don't think what Adam did was bad.
I think Ethan could have played it better though by delaying time. It's about it
And then obviously that wall gap is crazy not gonna lie. That is just crazy
All right everyone welcome to match point these guys were yapping about the game by the way lots of good stuff to talk about
I got quality. I've got you fellas first before we get into the game
Congratulations, you'd have to feel great to take down the world champs. Yeah, it always feels good the way
Honestly, it feels a little better. Maybe if we're up against energy like I'll admit it
Yeah, let's go good coming out of Santiago, right? We were wondering what the form of fury I was going to look like
All right, that's enough. It's enough of that
Bobra
And I'm telling you guys rewatch this game and then tell me energy played bad. They played bad
Say that to me like they're playing the map badly. They're not rotating well. Tell me that
They didn't they did not play bad. They played
Honestly above average
and Furia were just really that good.
Which is why I'm saying Furia,
I think is clearly the most impressive team I've seen.
This split, like it's not close.
Anyways, we are calling it here.
We are calling it here.
It's been a pleasure.
I love you guys, you already know that.
Anyone else want me to raid?
Poppin'?
I mean, we gotta raid Poppin' then.
Have a tough loss.
Tough loss.
