Hey guys, why is this doing this every time?
Oh, I just left some chick-fil-it.
Good afternoon.
Good after fucking noon.
Explain?
I mean, there's no explanation really.
I love my sleep,
And I don't really care about EMEA.
I realized that when I was waking up.
Like I woke up to the alarm.
I didn't sleep in.
Is that shameless?
W Honestly, no?
Something that a lot of teams don't do. They just go up to the standard, let's pop out through the toughest slope, and it gives an extra layer in terms of elemental strength and energy you can bring in their matches.
With a KOT, you're forcing the teams to slow down.
Wait, can we talk about how hard you guys gassed up? Kachal? And then he loses?
To send out the dagger as well, and slowly...
Or are we just gonna slip past that?
All the pace of the maps, because of this.
That's another one of your man's.
By the way, MNAC thank you to the tier 1 man and Lace thank you to the Prime.
Are we going to ignore EMEA?
Literally I ignored EMEA today.
That's actually what happened.
I ignored it.
I woke up and I decided that I don't care.
Okay I looked at the matchups and I'm like, I don't really care.
Nelkorm, thank you for the problem.
Money changes you know, man.
I've never watched EMEA religiously in my entire life.
Actually, I've watched games here and there.
So why give us your word?
Because I'm a piece of shit liar.
I really thought I would care.
I don't.
That part I feel bad about I am sorry about that that's fucked up
Hey Kimmy
The problem is like it's a pack into a mea into America's that's just hard
It's always like I have never when have I ever done that maybe one time I've done that
It's so hard
Now that has what it takes this time around to be a really true Dark Horse, I'm gonna
chance to get back to self-follow them.
The most experience that one of the loud players has is Rutsu.
Hey, Chile! Excuse me.
That's the most international experience that any of them have. Well, you look at the other side.
Akatsuki? Thank you for the prime, then. Thank you.
When do I get the bundle? Oh, I need to send you the money, right?
Okay, I'll send you the money after a stream. Can you remind me?
I'm just gonna send it right after a stream. Bye, dad.
H7, thank you to the tier one
Just say then say that then don't make empty promises. I agree my bad. Fuck you Mia. I don't care there. I said it
All throughout you guys and bleed up coming into the games
What has been the most improved for you personally? What do you feel like you've gotten better at?
Narrate's frying though. I did see that.
At least that's
Bro did not want to be there that bro did not want to be there for that interview
Get me out of here
to go but yeah in terms of predictions did you guys have a hard time with this one no can we
score energy today of course of course okay he's just saying it's straight up let's take a look at
our predictions energy not across the board though okay we got some a loud oh wait you come through
and you said no one loud yeah loud how do you feel about the new loud scene what the fuck is
happening up there this is a team that was playing I think they're cleaning the windows
you saw them going for the side hits what what did they play it doesn't matter
I
Good
Which loud is playing this is a paper X this is a play paper X like team that we're looking at in
She came back from the vlog the car looks good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
Who do you think will win? NRG. Although, I mean, if NRG get off some bad starts, it does get weird.
It can get weird if loud like heat up early. But I think that is the only Wincon that loud has.
Also like an insane chamber.
But NRG is pretty good at avoiding that, you know? So I feel like NRG just have way more Wincons to the...
Who, Radley, think of the prom.
prime optic beats love? no, incorrect
are ready to take the stage on day 2 of the Stage 2 playoffs, which we'll start right now, right here in the Blizzard Arena
so don't blink, you don't wanna miss any of the action
Leo, thanks for the prime
Does this go to 3 maps? I don't think so. The only wincon loud has is 5-0 starts, 4-0
starts on both halves. I'm sorry. Outside of that, if NRG get going, it's gonna be kinda
hard. It's not gonna be like a stomp, I think it'll be like 13-9, 13-10. But I think NRG
takes it. Prince taking the prime and Bento taking the prime. Yeah they're definitely
taking the windows. And I'll find out if they get the tier one. Did you watch the
Kachow game, uh, Haven added with John QD and Zelsus.
Did he say? Ethan?
Edmmer's Sauron, thank you to everyone. And Jingerbred, thank you to the prime.
Fresh to the fly
Rusty May, thank you for the 19 long story.
I lucky won a map 3.
It's not like NRG is gonna win 13-3 or anything. I think we're gonna get 2 good maps.
Loud Adapts.
The only thing that I think and it catches NRG off-guard maybe is the fast starts with the fast plays that loud have but it's also not dependent
Did you finish the fanatic log I haven't no
I just won't allow to win for them to play at Champs Qualifier in Brazil without the insane.
It's fair.
That team is good, man.
This log team is not bad by any means.
It's not like they're a pushover.
It's going to be hard for NRG, but I do think they're going to too well.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
Loud, 21 Masters recently improved it,
and now for Loud is determined to do the same thing.
Have you watched the GTA 6 thing?
Yeah, I did. Like six times.
Let's bring out there a song.
Like six different streamers.
There are 20, 25 champions.
Make some noise for Ann!
They were reacting to it.
My duo Rivetton just said it right there.
Walking out are 20, 25 champions and energy.
Energy not only that going to the stage
No, I heard it's gonna be as like on PC a year later. That's kind of annoying
I'm not gonna lie within your group of alpha gta6 isn't gonna be released on PC for a year after
But the most important thing is that they've been pretty much in a 100% wind I don't think I want to
I'm not gonna play it then
So when it comes down to that you have to have a deep map with an understanding of how energy plays
Well energy they still have two maps that they haven't shown that gives them a chance now to come out with
You're such a fucking goat you fucking dickhead.
What the backhanded compliment?
Will you buy a PS5 to play? Nah.
Probably not.
Maybe, like, if I randomly feel like it, out of the blue, like, spontaneously buy it,
but I have no plans on buying a PS5 to play one game.
from both of these teams getting out of the way.
Now we do get to see Ascend,
a map that we haven't seen either of these teams.
I mean, thank you for the tour one.
And Amon, Amon Shockley, thank you for the one year, man.
Thank you.
It was the exact same going out now.
Down to you, thank you for the tour one.
They got rid of Split and Ascend going to the stage.
30 FPS.
And now they wanna test it out
when they have a chance to make it to Sao Paulo.
So this is a big test for loud.
And for Energy, I feel that it's-
I don't even know how my eyes
are gonna accept 30 FPS.
This is a great scenario, as well,
Deploy a famous tier one.
Skull things, I got you, brother. That's the shit I do.
Do you like this thing? I think it's the worst map in the rotation. I like it.
I like it when teams have good defaults and they play slow. I don't like the 5-man pops every game.
When teams start just rushing A, rushing B and those things start working, that's when it kind of gets boring.
But when teams are defaulting well, the lurks are coming out well, they have good ult plays,
the 3v3 mid rounds are good, that's when the map is really fun to watch.
Rush to the mid later is not fun to watch.
What are your favorite rank maps?
Haven for sure?
Even though I'm a terrible win-rate on it right now, I sent.
Split's fun. Split's probably my favorite.
Split and Sunset are fun.
What happened to EMYang?
I woke up guys, and I realized I didn't care about the results of either team winning
I just didn't care
Don't care
Maybe you lock in maybe those international that they made back then those reveries, but none of these guys wear
You can put the honest don't care. I got all the new team with union like I won't I literally had a alarm set, right?
I woke up and I was squinting my eyes. I was so sleepy, but I was like waking up, right?
And I'm like all right, let's go watch you get me and I went to VLR on my phone
And I looked at the matchups again, and I immediately just set an alarm for two hours later and put my phone down and went back to sleep
So actually what happened
You got the you got a discipline discipline yourself
I'm not gonna pretend to care though. Like I just don't like I don't know I don't
I don't get a shit about the results there at all.
That's not to say they're bad or good or anything. It's just not my cup of tea, I don't know.
I did promise and that's my bet. That's a that's some bullshit and that's my bet. The promise is my bet
I will no longer promise things I can't keep
I'm expecting a close game, I am. I'm expecting loud to give it a challenge. I'm thinking 13, 9, 13, 10, 10 games to death for these the 2-0 for energy stuff.
This is my prediction.
of a late bloomer going into this match up here but and then left 11 of these I just I gotta go with
left still but it's a similar game I still think it's gonna be too low love maybe there's potential
of upsets as you mentioned you're down pretty thinking that you're one there's two five energy
both maps chill no no no no no I don't think so I do not think so the thing is with NRG they
They don't stomp teams and like how how long is it gonna take us to realize the energy do not stomp teams?
It's always close
Since when are they stomping teams?
All right, EG. Okay, but it's rare. Let's put it that way. It's rare
Part of it also comes from these the psychologists the performance coach that they have they have
It's a shame they don't get to play EG every week.
I was playing as a Rona at a ranked game yesterday and he was doing some weird ass shit on Jett
and it pissed me off and I'm like alright let's see how long you stay on the team kid.
Started threatening them.
themselves and the confidence that they have is something they haven't heard from teams in such a
long time honestly the last time that I heard this kind of confidence was when love was winning
and going on that run in in massive yeah listen to me off just throw throw for me one time
that's why and that's why I think it's energy that's gotta move forward right just because
I'm non-conductor but also for loud or the community thinking last time Sam watched sand
is over at watch parties he's not gonna watch party ever as super fans actually other than
champs I guess he's gonna watch party that but I don't think he's gonna watch
party every like a season ever let's face it here the lower brackets
weaker opponents on that side in terms of them going down in the results still
trying to find their identity here so there is still a chance and jay don't
think the price will make it no matter what I've been thinking with him thank
you thank you he's got a watch party type of person yeah
That's how we roll, that's how we roll
I'm gonna think about it, Sam's definitely just not a watch party person
and then Shanks can only watch party when he's betting on games
because that's what makes it interesting for him
then he has a stock in the game
A default? Thank you for the practice here one man
And TMM thinking about does it mean he's coming back to pro play I
Don't think it's gonna be I don't think he's gonna be coming back to pro play guys
And just don't I don't think he wants to do any of that
Davi is just one of the guys that we're looking at that we were also trying to guess for those drying that was
I don't think anybody was thinking about him on who loud was going to question here
What do you think ride can do to incentivize more ex pros, especially ideals in the second college to join the table on
Main production to provide in-depth analysis paid them more
Pay the money and he quietly started performing started not if you want my honest answer yesterday
I think big smile thing that's here. Well, what he's really capable of doing mechanically as well
But the team that I can explain so tough they're running it down and see oh, he's managing to set up the same for success
What does I find key openings and key pieces for the for the team to continue?
Have you talked to Kaplan about talked about the Kaplan news? I don't even know what the Kaplan news are
It is just to look back as we had shots from Louvre show as well
If you think about it if people why do I have so many throwers as case and no covers the sack
Challengers and ascension when he was playing with the lures with I don't know where you are on top
I have no idea as a cycle. I mean to break this great end of the day
That's always going to be the case again. It's just about look into the roster for me
There's going to be times where you get lucky and you have good teams and you have like good teams for most of the act
And there's going to be times where you just have shit teams for the whole acts just luck on who you match up with
The world champion in the past was kind of big shoes to fill and such a prominent organization as loud
But doggie so far in his last match up here is far to prove that yeah
He's played his best match in America. Yes, there will be a stream tomorrow Jasper
For him to be able to stand out alongside the teammates who've all just been standout players
like I think it's hard to actually make some noise when you're just surrounded by greatness
like that.
Yeah, they all got their moments for sure when it comes down to the roster from top
to bottom across the war for this team.
Yeah, mods.
Are you here right now?
Any mods?
Can you guys pencil in as a video on YouTube, with the car vlog video?
Please?
Oh, you did?
Okay, thank you.
Okay, thank you.
with Ethan I think that was probably the biggest piece right now in terms of if
you're looking at energy if Cloud9 doesn't get a partner spot
next year that means his contract is essentially void from what I understand
and if that's the case then yeah he'll just he has the pick of the litter he
could just join whoever he wants he's gonna get crazy offers
where a lot of these maps could still be KO viable.
Mufi, Mufi, think of the problem.
It could still work out here for a player like Ethan.
Yeah, and you definitely need the consistency in order to make it to the top.
Mata definitely been a player that hasn't shown that consistency.
Kaplan will coach Fnatic.
With another great year, and he's looking to bring energy back to that global stuff.
What?
With a performance like that.
He is a player that is able to do it when it comes to getting a face.
And thank you, Matt. Thank you to Zero One.
He's playing an insane amount of first kills,
Thank you running it down in the neon getting some crazy kills and one question
Who's the closest players from any region that remember you?
more of the
Yay, you used to play with what he's playing how he's playing it or outside. I don't know what you mean by that
We can you rephrase that the year is that's funny enough after losing some once they won champs
They were struggling with energy. They were struggling with a player that was able to stand out to make sure that every game
I'm gonna take to
for that video you had
Beard then shaved and had it again. It depends on how often I shave, but this
grows up pretty fast. Probably like a week.
So where it's at now?
He's asking if someone in the current players
They're always gonna have the same gameplay as Yee
Any chamber, literally watch any chamber
And it's the same blueprint every single time
I'm not saying they got it from Yee
But it's the same playstyle in the sense that they just walk around glitch
Walk around glitch and take your timings
And take obscene risks through smokes because you know you can TP away
That's it
I think most chambers, they're like Yee
Simple as that
He was just the first to do it at the level he did it at
Yo, what's good, y'all?
I'm Energy Scuba.
This is Energy Mata.
And today, we're playing Mutant Comps.
Who is your IGL?
Who is my IGL?
In-game leader.
In-game leader.
In-game leader.
My IGL, Ethan.
Where do you wear swimwear?
Where do you do you?
Were you do you do you wear?
Where do you wear? I actually going where you wear do do I?
Where where where where where you can't do that swim short swim swimming swimming where swimming somewhere
Swimming where each there we go boom
Okay, no, I can't I can't use my hands. You can't do it. You can all up
Who who do do you I look look up up I did who do I look I
Can't use my hands
She didn't up up to it. Oh, this guy's emoting constantly
Ethan damn, okay. I'm gonna give my hands like this name name
name name can she said name baby no bro you're so hard to be both name name name name name name
name name your your favorite do list agent I gotta I gotta use my hands here name to name
Name two, name two, duelist agents.
Say it again.
Name two, duelist, duelist.
I don't know what that means.
Go again, go again.
Waylay, Jet, Neon.
Jet.
Name two, duelist.
Duelist, name two, duelist.
Agents, agents, agents.
Name two, duelist agents.
Name two, duelist agents.
Jet, Waylay, there we go.
Boom.
That was me that calms.
It's actually a lot harder than I thought it would be.
See you guys next time.
Loki is pretty hard.
I played that shit with those Sony and Zone people as fucking awesome.
I think that they're pretty good, honestly. That shows the synergy that they have.
It's a fun game though.
I was not asked that again. Speaking of which, oh my god, mods.
Can you put exclamation mark in Zone at the end of my title please? I'm begging.
I'm so sorry for the server maybe in different roles. Oh, that's a hash
I got always like the tip of the spear opening things up as well
But when it comes down to something you need as a closer
Scuba's been doing an excellent job at that as well
But this is a finally I'm seeing some agents popping up yours. Thank you single mom
I'll be going back to a match up quite soon here. Yeah, that's a talk again
I think you should get another hundred for breaking her word twice in 12 hours
We did not see this map from either of those trees. I think the last time energy plated was in stage
Fine at the end of this game
Against what was a g2? I think if memory serves right, so what do we expect the agent wise?
My back is kind of stalled right now at the end of this game
Me hoping you guys forget
This is what has been working out for them
Of course look show on the chamber dark and TKC in running with his double duelers every other chance to see yesterday
But on the other side interesting things are happening double duelers that they decide to go with for this map
Starting on defense to you and nada is going to be on the Phoenix Kiko on jet has been incredible
That's always been incredible since we saw him last year playing for EMEA
Yeah, I mean motto for me is rolling back in years playing a Phoenix on this map
Phoenix see on a few extra days, but now you can see on been dominating on this map
It feels like energy
Jet it is another one of those comfort roles
Cold copy of love
I'll be a little bit easier to play in my eyes
Total Eclipse, thank you for the prime one, thanks for 16 months.
And, uh, wrong thing to cry about.
So, you know, the first time playing Valorant in 10 months and a mortal rank is still easy as fuck what ship teammates.
Uh, Dilly-Doo, they have a prime one.
So whoever wins this place, send, right?
Right?
Yeah.
Actually, whoever wins the entire thing, plays Sen.
If they're able to beat Sen, then they're allowed to go to champs.
Everyone has to get past Sen.
They're the gatekeepers.
both Luke's show and also for Tickazine.
But I'm also afraid as well,
we just talked about it earlier on here guys,
where it was actually close, but we'll see how it goes.
We see indeed the top four is on the line.
Let's get this upper bracket match.
Is this a mirror?
Is there like a crazy cause just now?
What's taking so long to start this game?
NRG spam stays to building an aura of inevitability.
Five opponents, five wins,
including against the Masters London champions,
leaving no reason to doubt them.
Loud spent yesterday proving his hungry new generation thrives under playoff pressure so today
One team defends perfection the other fights to turn belief into something undeniable
This loud team are clearly beyond the one of the past all ties severed from this new generation
To the one of all their predecessors
They struggled when they went to sell all of them couldn't lift that trophy
but perhaps this new group the next generation of Brazil is underperforming
I mean he has his on and off games for sure but the play style of which energy plays he does get
sacrificed a little bit more than other duelists do sometimes he is very aggressive at times
okay mid fight for energy first in gauge when you talk about the new generation he is
Holy shit, he got the ring.
Holy fuck, he flicks the cat and got a third kill.
Ah, Sontek.
What the fuck?
I mean it's annoying when they're jumping though, to be fair to him.
I'm kidding, is there anyone in the jump?
I actually don't know.
I need to see this third kill he got.
It's crazy he gets two, but that third kill is insane.
He flicked onto Cowlalk and killed the third guy.
of the
the show is used the offer he is the main character he is the protagonist for a lot of
the
in the past
He could beat the 5-0 NRG, the reigning world champions, and they're dying in them.
And he gets his easy martial pick up, and he knows he's about to get some archived.
He can seem to be able to pick up the opposite angle.
Give him a run straight into the line, and he can get the whole side of the lane to
subjude that presence.
What the hell is Kiko Plo?
What is this?
I'm genuinely at this point.
Luke Show is making the best player of Stage 2.
Obviously, there are some fantastic names in the running, Sato, Neon, Asuna on
a career high run but Lucio was right up there with them and depending on how this playoff
run goes for loud for the other teams you could absolutely see him walking away as the stage
200 here.
Sometimes you come into a game with storyline you could want to talk about right if the
time seems right.
When it came to Lucio we used all the melee gun because he was beautiful in that series
against Viria.
Absolutely channeling those antagonists.
Okay, so good start for louden.
He tops the scoreboard here.
Can they win the bonus though on attack?
Pretty hard.
He certainly has a Marshal.
I'm going to get a male himself of an Odin.
Keep going.
Should be pointed out that Kiko is an NIG skirmisher.
He's had to use his skirmish account for this game.
Apparently he had to change his password from 1, 2, 3, cheese and forgot what the second
one was.
It happens.
Hey, a little mid-default.
Draining from close as well.
Good job.
This is out of the pool.
Nice kill, man.
Nice fucking kill.
That's what you're looking for.
It's pretty straightforward stuff.
Here's them running up cat.
The rotates are late, but I mean, there's a lot of...
I was gonna say there's a lot of delay with flashes, but...
Oh, he tends to get one.
And live.
If he doesn't lay, he has to get one.
Oh...
Oh my god.
Hey, so...
the job in fact any damage on him run it back here for darker he's gonna try and
challenge his presence up on heaven but there's a bunch of smokes in the way
fishing they'll be knocked back to square one spray from Brock not enough
would have had to capitalize off the right back just send I mean it is
winnable nope no much I can't mean Adam can't die and Adam can't die I mean
without any sort of kill or any damage done.
They had enough delay, NRG had a flash on Catwalk, so they're delayed.
And as long as Adam doesn't die to the one guy in A main,
then they have plenty of delay.
They have Phoenix Molly, they have Paranoia, these guys are stopped.
Kiko's able to rotate back in and then they can reset.
Okay.
This kill is like pretty bad to give up.
I
Calling back to yesterday as well the darker Phoenix was a difference maker on Haven
Loud have mostly leaned away laser side fingers here one day parallel to nr
Say you keep two players from C9 rebuild the team for 20 27. I see me make franchising
dominate
Furia with it and the Phoenix has proved to be excellent on a standard. I don't even know if I can name everyone
And if doctors want to maintain that fucking truth keep oxy, I guess such an important piece
of lads
Swung into that after the flash
Good boy now coming out the left side if we go fast lane said
What's the training to be but takes a lot of damage early for him?
One more, ah good damage
He could the second player, he's done enough here
Winnable, oh my god they won
They actually won
Okay, okay they're back
Brock genuinely has been in that champs
2025 MVP form
form he has been statistically even the standout for NRG in this second stage
he's hitting his peak right now and there's no other map you would rather
have paper is not bad courage not bad but I said let's just stand their
highs and we're in that b-side they're fucking high quick loading that's a
dangerous proposition quick play up mid here Kiko has nose up against the
to try and get this pile crunch going and through that smoke.
I was going to say, caught him by surprise.
In fact, fast lady, let's just get some action over by.
Huge Kiko.
Huge Adam.
You can drop them in mid.
What a midfielder.
All of a sudden, this is collapsed for loud.
They've got to just rush over into these eight sites.
And Scuba is waiting in the wings.
Oh my god, both teams are just relentless.
Mata is now all over us.
Well done by Scuba, man.
Well done to live here.
Well, that door gets broken.
He's going to get flashed, rushed down.
What a push.
What a push!
I mean it came down to Kiko getting that second kill though.
If Kiki's in Kill-Sin as well, then I think love in this round.
I think those Toss guys are just stuck.
But because Kiko got that kill on K.A.
Good play though, man.
This kill.
They beat Leviathan in that five in a run, a Lev that had an unstoppable aura.
There is no Kiko, there is only Skirmisher.
With double duelists of all things, NRG in an uncomfortable meta are still able to have
a flaw in this game.
My bad, yeah, Skirmisher.
Speaks volumes about this team.
Mata misses his opportunity for that early damage as his opponents were...
So they were hiding Subraza anyway.
Cat's Blit, chamber lurking good.
like the 20 seconds of peace between these strips of the strip can you
damage another entry oh my god that's good damage
live live yeah yeah 5v3 just live just live just live
doesn't give a fuck brooks happen to pay the piper and accept the flames in
these feet okay so loud fast plays aren't working anymore
and the 1v4.
The energy willingness to just fight loud at these choke points,
swarm them, has gotten them back into this half.
That lack of respect to loud.
Not letting them get into the site, not letting them get into the site.
Good job by Scuba not peeking that, giving a 1v1 for free.
You know how strong they are on those soft angles and shits on them?
Just mantle fury yesterday when they were playing defense, they could not stop louds.
big set executes and this energy team feel like the ultimate measuring stick
for a team like me to do that over everyone who stood in their way after
this retool they've come with momentum energy to abort such a polish game
they're brought perfection is giving unstoppable force and a movable object
today it's gonna be a good game there's no way it's not gonna be a good
game halfway through this year cuz a lot of plays really really quickly the
The thing is, NRG knows that.
Also, Scooby's trip placement has been really good.
That's over Yasoda now?
Not necessarily.
They just got to try to avoid this op now.
Now that Loud know that they have op, that NRG have op to play with, they got to just
try to...
I mean they could do pops as well like B-pop A-pop to get rid of like any impact that he could have
And they have ults coming up I think
I think this is a five round minimum attack half for love. I don't think they get 9-3
Hitting the ground running playing this neon straight from the crew Academy to
Topping most of the stats of neon players in those first five weeks of stage two
If you's leading an average damage per round, this is his first stage man
I'm it's like denies Kiko that early sight line and
Behind it loud start to move in the position of his father by the sound drone go in fact
It's clear from okay, so a main clear cat's pretty clear no trips here besides the main one
Nice little garden split upper bad
Beautiful beautiful exit
Classically compromised Niels Adam is old back. It's dark at a fork. He's got to use it here slowly in our GF twin circle
I'll look show scary though on a cow walk. It's a problem and matter is look and a cleared cat. There's nothing there
round over save you know when both players well played by Luke show not dying
there and getting the kill I guess good patience for him trust in his team
I've got a ton of cash to play with though one enemy remaining oh
fire is back and he is fast enough to catch him buddy I mean energy have
plenty of money even if scuba dies to give up the other side of the map and
he's about to get pressed by two players in that first shot goes awry
There's a fast lane. Tiggazine is coming from now spray down in a boathouse shows himself
We've been behind the boxes and scoobers hoping for a cheeky shot. This gene being jumped. He knows the G
Well done
I love that garden split there, man. I just love to pick up the other they wouldn't have been able to afford
I feel like when you get smoke mid one, I mean, he go did get to a fast. It's not gonna lie
You just focused on a main mixing in and they split garden on them a different variation of a set
execute Roman early out of the timer draws up the plan and they executed to
perfection it is so fast so fast that brook has no time to slow tickets in
down entry allowing having to be taken louder one of the teams that are
finding some more interest in the catcher that because of the garden
split like your parents are there's a kidding a lot of value out of it let's
listen into loud as they've already got the leg shot on Ethan hitting a
Sovals. Huge atom. He didn't kill anyone with the Alex. He didn't get anyone but the Sovals.
Oh
It's just over
Not possible, right?
I feel like you just look site there. What a fucking flash
How many did you get?
Two
I feel like he needed a smoke site there
Just to create disruption
Because he can either be in the smoke or he can be under the balcony
Nice try though on the post plant there
They were 2v5
They've been trying to keep on doles just swapping things around trying to figure out what works best
You know way, it's a problem that they have so many options
They're constantly making little adjustments and yet all of them
I was looking good bro. Now they have Phoenix all it's like which do you even pick?
But the mod if I'm shocked that so all didn't get anything done come in second
He was putting up crazy numbers. Oh
Oh
I mean Phoenix all it's gone at least from scuba in market
Release some of the pressure. Oh my god. Oh my god
Huge kill before dying
That's huge though they got one before dying from the Phoenix. Well, just always got the Luke Scholler
No, that's exec Luke Scholler versus Adam off cat of the split and they have to rely on Luke showed to be able to
I got a player on the cross find a good moment for the backstab
Erdy with the teleport setting him up. That's pretty good. Broke has to pick up his line out
Well done, good jiggle man. The awareness on this guy.
You would have had to have been that moment now. How do loud, fine, and gross.
The blue shows started out.
Well Erdy, already having used up time.
Big ult now, Adam can move.
The important mural fifth.
Broke is in the shoes by a voice this B side now.
No, he can try and get in, but there's a reason why he's on the side.
Look at this delay, guys.
wait wait wait wait wait nice kill man great delay still good from scuba man
great job from scuba see these are the situations where I feel like NRG just
excels NRG are just beautiful to watch in that whole situation loud are just
hoping that they could try to tease some player out of position to bring that
into a three-on-three. It's not able to work right? They always like the players that need to live know
that they need to live. They play their life and they wait for their teammates. They scuba'd it so
well there even though they didn't get a single kill. Just staying alive. Keeping that threat
back site allows his teammates to get the kills. They close enough distance but not too much
where their lives would have been at risk
This pace from loud is just
Listen, they are not easing up at all
Secure total timing to force kick out of me and cancel
There are already full of NRG players on this B site if loud come in
Okay, this cancel would be insane though. This cancel would be ridiculous
Loud trying to drive a wedge up the middle of the map and Ethan could be here to unravel this
Cypher A alone
And he's playing full retake.
No he's not.
They're walking back to aiming because that was the only real gap.
And they're splitting A.
What a mid-round by loud.
And that's the kill that ends it I think.
The rotators are too far.
The rotators are too far and they have to worry about this guy cutting them off.
Huge kill if he wins another round for them.
If he gets one more, he's got the legendary.
Nice try.
Big flank by CQ's in.
Oh my god, bro.
A lot of us are so good too.
Finally win out of dual here get some success in the round, but now in a 1v3
He has to assess his options money's fine for energy. So you may as well jump on it
That reler by the neon heavens. I'm like mid to heaven. All right, it's some of this spray will connect
And he's out of there folks
Any team that's able to get to this control here pause mid-round back to a is a good
They they know what they're fucking doing look at the econ for loud. It's not great. They know what they're fucking doing
Like, I'm trying to sell something, give him a reason to double back, he's not even half
there yet.
He's actually got time!
He's just got time!
Erday's going to challenge us out and he knows it!
I'm trying to get as much value as he can out of what was probably already a lost
round and Erday's forced to drop the gun!
He extracts a lot.
Two players down, is able to get two orbs out of it, keeps the loud economy in an
awkward spot that was making the most of a situation where the clutch was virtually
impossible but essentially gets the next best. I think NRG went up the next
run though. I think 7-5 top. I think they're gonna start playing 2-1-2 passes.
Double market for both duelists.
Oh the judges out? Guaranteed they win. Judge Odin. Guaranteed. You're never
We're getting past that.
Absolutely can be worth two.
He's scuba banking on the judge to back even up here on this corner sees dark.
He's gotta go.
It wasn't quite.
We needed it to be.
Now off the trap.
Why don't you come scuba?
He's ahead of the flesh.
He's done.
He's done.
All right.
He's hit very hard as a result.
But this is still what the fitting for me.
Beautiful whole school.
A lot of running to a brick wall.
I like that.
The debate with the can.
And if you can, Lucha just needs to hold on to the only goal at this point.
So much time left in the round, why?
They're not eating themselves, they were in a shaky spot, did they risk going for that?
After those first three rounds, log winning the pistol, they win that bonus, NRG really have had their number, it's stopping them on these executes.
A lot of them are involved too, honestly. A lot of those rounds were close.
NRG easily could have lost that 2v5 retake on A site, telling you've already smoked the middle of the site there.
I think NRG probably would have lost
Pumpkin Spice? Yeah
Loud or 100 Thieves?
I mean, if I say loud, the 100these fans are gonna jump me, so I'm not trying to get jumped.
Those are the people who think that.
Link takes the thing in the prime.
I
Started so well, let's scuba
hundred thieves fans
The scent fans that have no one else to cheer for so I got a hop on a hundred thieves straight now
It's the it's the increased oxygen flow to his brain
Because his nostrils are you know wider than the Suez w breathing broke
Dude, they're out in the pace here, model with the run-up back, straight out of the main.
Another aggro player, and they get max value again.
And there goes Lukesho, the man who held the off.
I mean, these guys haven't even let their spawn.
Here's the half.
Ethan just calls.
He's got to kill him on the strickle, nevermind.
He's going for that aggro, run it back out of B, pinch down mid.
The tiles crunch has been pretty big.
And it should be wraps on the half.
Now, all things considered, like watching the game feeling the flow of it, energy pretty dominant, but loud, ultimately, if they just end up with 5 on attack, that's pretty good, that is not bad, they still won the pistol, won the bonus, get two more gun rounds, that is not bad at all.
of the
house in the side of this player about it and it gets a bit dicey and I think it's in most amount of
a year and a part of the key got to play the list of how it gets involved here
in fact it up about the rest of the way for now though it's just key code
first three
I've got this timing on lane.
Oh wow, LA ducks are round off.
He could have just died to that straight up.
That connects, but not the kill all of them.
All of them are trying to put their pounce on this retake.
Everyone's allowed stuck in this site.
So I shouldn't be any way that they can win this.
Smoke over all the boat house.
Her day eventually gets caught out just from the spray
through the masonry.
Only one side of the boat house is open.
Because they're trying to make use of it after.
Well done, Kiko.
He's getting his panel flash, but now 1v3 revealed
by Neural Sector and the half.
Good job. Good job, good job, good job. Well done.
Great job, I keep going to Scylla. That smoke helped so much.
I think he actually would have died early there, if that smoke doesn't pop.
Five Attack Crowns is pretty good, yeah. If Loud won pistol here, this game gets so hard for an RG.
I still think energy is no one though
Isn't he owning? Isn't he still owning right now?
Brocks only. The weakens having a rough once.
Why is it stuck at 5'5"?
To me, you're probably wondering how I ended up here.
It all started when I got to the FIFA World Cup.
David Beckham.
Thousands of Verizon customers.
How many subs for VIP?
I'm gonna...
No, I'm...
with amazing...
I'm gonna give you a bit of Q&A, actually, Colin.
Okay, and even pit-side access.
Where are you?
David Beckham.
A Verizon customer.
This used to be the place.
Now it's with Verizon customers.
No one gets you closer.
Only on Verizon.
Flow, thank you to the Prime.
Alright, Loud, I've already said this. The Loud's wincon is pistols. They just need the 4-0 start. The pistol bonus, they get to 9-5 here, the map's gone.
That's literally what that needs to happen for Loud to win these games, because then RG will always claw back.
So if Loud don't do that, they're gonna lose. Period.
I
Still thank you to the tier one and chaotic Otter thinking it's your one. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I
Think even like look evens having a bad game and energy still has seven rounds on this half
Like they're chilling look at this guy look at this guy
Yeah flair checks out am I right chat
same thing like you have to have a good dinner so they're playing they're playing on a good
level now so i think we're gonna win but yeah they being champions doesn't change anything for you
but man from the point of wait
there we are on your screen here calling with the freedom of not knowing what the ceiling is
for this loud team not knowing just how high they could climb but he's being pitted up against
to a seasoned IGL that knows what it takes to reach the summit.
Erdo vs Ethan trying to call their teams into a Sao Paulo experience.
The stakes are high.
Ethan's lying at the end of that half that he had of the read.
He knows exactly what Loud are doing.
Now that NRG are on the attack side though, the more difficult side of Ascent.
Can you continue to call them to the victory and take away Loud's map pick?
Yo! Yo!
Hey!
This is the big unknown looming in our second map.
What the f***ing start without me ever again?
Are you hearing production?
Yes.
I mentioned the guy's stupid.
Loud, important.
Gets us virtually back to parody.
Mardis is probably getting a nose.
The trademark needs to be clear. This is spinning alarm bells ringing fall out, but not enough to draw players to mid
You missed the whole round no, I did not molly off of any kind of contact
Are they trying to fake no there's cats living very tenetive in this round, but they're slowly starting to
Cypher's got to live in a man
So scuba's gonna take his sweet ass time as his team is running up
He's so that I take his time
Oh, we almost got that second kill
Ethan's back
Low HP I love here contact for the team
team. It's Avi shot down through the wall. Luke show with the hit under again. It's over
right. You got three on the first pistol. It's all done. Well done. It's time to eat
and then take the others. The jiggles. Nobody over peaking. It's lovely. It's energy up
by three routes. Just brutal bad darker gets caught by that body shots. That's game
over guaranteed. A map over at least. Just not ready for that Molly. It's just
He's jiggling back around the corner immediately call with a bike unless Luke showed us some superhero fucking
Three chamber D shots to the head triple headhunter
Get Adam bro 14 and 8 doesn't get credit
Get aggressive
That situation that way that's crazy
Okay, well they're gonna rush J off that
This could be scary though, this could be scary
I mean he got his
It's weird, it's weird
It's weird
Especially because Cypher's dead so it doesn't worry about flank as well potentially
No sectors alive, what am I saying? He has no trips. There's no trips in the back
I think energy is fine. Yeah, energy is fine
Oh, it's just so like it's just good. It's just good. It's just good is what it is
I
Contrusting one of you when it gets weird it's too good loud right now though
We have seen after that couple weeks off right that they just in the lab with Ron
Good night loud though on the second round
Great damage zone the pistol same case against your yeah, they always have a little strap
against pure they're always
When they're walking through for two year on low pistols staring at must run around their playing instant Odin to
maximize every round right now. Just one of the other reasons that they've become a
serious contender in the most any opportunity. No, no, no, no, no, no. They have 3A. They
have 3A direct second air. It's like this is just going to encourage energy to try
to pick up the pace, but they're stalled up by the Mali A, not in the mouth.
Yeah, good reset. They would have gotten destroyed if they hit A there.
They attempt that this round, but the arresting is over.
Leave 1A main, go back to B main, pressure it, then hit Cat late.
And are you denied?
What did I just say?
Leave 1A main, pressure B main, push it back, then go mid to Cat.
Why are they listening?
It looks like B's back on the menu.
But there's a bunch of angles that have to be cleared on their way.
This takes time.
Am I muted?
And the smoke gets thrown down Kat, some implication that mid-presence could be coming.
They're forced to flash these close angles though because of Luke's show, so less utility
for the actual XM.
That's a disgusting off-angle.
He knows he's sat where he can't be spotted out by the recon, so he just plots his
feet and gets two kills.
Single-handedly, shouting NRG down this round.
How are you gonna get out of this one?
Clean round is...
They'll be waiting for his chance to spring forth by fighting for his life
Round for love conclusion out the Luke show
fucking around Luke show
Was a sick opener and energy you could see just wanted to respond and go a but the Molly
I just saw him
Actual nice window to get into that site
And by the time they go back to be that's just a ridiculous off angle
That should be a one and done
We have already seen the two rounds. Luke Show is playing these chambers scenarios even though we've been seeing chamber forever
And you basically alley share thinking the problem. Thank you
Luke Show is doing things differently if the way he was working around that smoke in a main when moda flashed him
Fast B split 99% of chambers wouldn't have played it like that and what he's able to do in that round
It's actual B split one of one. It's not a fake
Honestly really good situation here
Really good really good for energy. What an exit down in those also the W will be waiting
I got he found the last guy to confirm huge up into the space that he round over quietly clears out so Adam is insane
Model is great job by the B main players though
I'm not dying to look sure there not giving him a chance making him TP and then all the entire loud team is
Stuck in the site late resurgence into this year
It was a point where it really felt like he was kind of losing himself as a player didn't know what direction to go in
I'm thinking really like post Santiago when energy were trying to force that
It's fine though. It's fine. Love could still buy this. I have a chance in this game
Small chance him. That's just not how he plays the duelist
And then it seemed like there was even maybe like a recovery period after that trying to get back into his form
Very tiny chance.
You wish you had that Phantom, I know. Disgusting.
around. But she guys saw what was happening by right. There's like a tether wire coming
down from like the sky. These are cleaning the windows.
I'm scared of you guys. I'm scared of that two percent.
And then when he does play control you freeze up a thing to go for the kale or something
It looks more emblematic that that when he shade a look here from energy
It's just a testament as to how good they are as a team at a base level
But they are really one of the only teams in the globe that can buck the meta. I'm not gonna still do this
Maintain consistency. They can definitely still do this. I still qualify for every global energy is gonna start playing slow
defaulty
Play for mistakes from loud extra like head off the curve because they know that she's gonna push somewhere
I don't think it already does anything fast for a while.
Rusty Paragon, they're gonna do one.
Thank you, thank you.
Oh my god, they're rushing me.
Oh fuck.
two perfect like that oh no for this kind of stage to use email with no respect for
storylines oh shit well done show though chiming in over the opposite side of that
so well done man already making his way across to the oh shit it's ahead of a guy who has the
drone emerging from the shipping boat house it's max info his presence online what a moment to
get back their energy not able to help even the swings are coming in that we run versus what
Holy shit, Brock. What a round for you. What a round.
Oh my god, Brock just... Assuming that maybe Dabi would be a bit more toxic than having the
shock dart off for the free kill. I mean, what a read though from Loudon. This
This B main trap should have been good, like very good, like clean.
What we're saying about Brock hitting his former medikit champions, yeah man, it's his reality.
People are being reminded now, why?
Not hyperbole.
What's the MVP?
Yeah.
Right.
Okay, more aggro.
I'm taking a rush A now.
That's his.
side of the map while this doesn't yield any kills for loud it's pretty illuminate
ah
side of the math seems to care gets killed gets off the line straight away
big big big big big big big that's so nice from Brock having the Hunter's
Fury ready for the teleport spot away it's even things up energy but the
bottom energy a lot of pretty constant there's no siphon latler for
anything it looks like because the case in Maine
I really slows things up, but Ethan gives his position away.
Dorcas got one flash to get back in, not a lot of neutral on the side.
Oh, they're going for it, over-driving, popped by Tiggazine.
This is me again, but Tigger's gonna be run down, but Darken now, perched on the edge.
Wow, Scuba, you played it well.
You've come up out Scuba's position, this presence in A main is well here for NIT.
Oh my God, oh my God, Ethan got smoke.
If you're like Adam, you're trying to retake.
Got smoke from Ethan.
Just ducking back and forth, you're gonna be letting them out.
3K in the run, and Ethan will deny him two back-to-back four pieces,
Which ever way you slice it a masterclass from it RG
Loud refining that advantage the air they pushing through door to catch on the scuba
He's got a focus as long as Ethan lives his detention is on him
Rock is able to get kills on the side of the head and yet energy are just
to clutch
There's no free lunch
One of the absolute last players you ever want to be against him. I'm pretty sure loud a bro
He is just chilling in there one alive last round moment to be a broken spot clean up on a couple players were distracted by Ethan
Just fucking smoke
And he reaches a relaxed total of 20 kills in 18 rounds. I'll be tracing my colors in the new car. Thank you. Thank you
Thank you, man. I'm glad you like it
The silver just looks too disgusting in presence here. I look so how'd to do it a tough time determining that
flashing to tree
to
the skills of the U.S.
Five man hit from energy again
Well
No wall to retake this you bring running with guardians and a eagle no shock
The flank options are really good. This is a good decision, but the thing is scuba here is all of it
He's done so well, he's just so good. Look at this. Doesn't need to take that fight
He's got a drop on him, but Chico whips on him to 180 and takes his head clean off!
That is gasoline from NRG in the straight 5v5.
He doesn't get much better than that. They're on map point.
Well, I had a good sequence of utility there as well from taking B main and then
pushing everyone from NRG back into the site.
We saw the moment with Amali and the relay bolt.
Scoob is decision making to stay alive.
Every single time where you feel like he's gonna die and most people will take that fight, I sorta got most ciphers
in a situation where they're getting flanked are taking this fight, they're staying in B main.
But he recognized so fast that he needs to get the fuck out of there, because apparently it came in.
And that was the only one Khan loud had is getting a free kill on cipher there.
And then taking B main then retaking, having that 5v4 advantage.
I'm out neither team has played in this stage curious that loud picked it up them
See if you're confident on it
But they're pay I thought he could only use Odin guys. What happened rock 23 kills now
How diabolical to throw a slow default in on that point like this
Just to wait you've loud enough for it to trip themselves with oh
Oh
Brock is about a win this round single-handedly
Cat amongst the pigeons and broke is making a mess of the place
Davy though was kind of overlooked here. He tries to pick up that lane position
But he can see this fucking
Rg is so good around the corner. So Davy is spotted
This one is done energy look phenomenal
They're so annoying, yeah, that's the best way I can describe NRG.
They're actually annoying.
Like no ego gameplay, you know what I mean?
From all the players, it's like, it's maximum discipline, no egos.
No ego in any situations, especially in those 3v3 type situations.
just play as a team zero ego no ego fights at all I mean yeah what are you
do I'm as loud as one win con start each half four zero up that's it you lose
that is just over energy level paper X top three at the moment
Monctions up there. Monctions up there, 100 thieves potentially up there, they're 20
OBC. All these teams are capable if they maintain their form. It's about maintaining
form. If they can maintain their form, then yeah, of course, but it's also dependent
on matchups. Like for example, if PaperX plays NRG, NRG will probably struggle against
that playstyle whereas like a team like Lev wouldn't but then Lev struggles against
energy so it's match-up base so there's no like top one team or top three team
but like if you put someone in the top five they're capable of usually beating
the other four teams even the fifth team is capable of beating one to four is
Casey really that good chat like are they really that good or are they
getting heroics. Is there heroics to win the game?
Like when you guys watch these games and you see the teamwork and the
the play styles of like NRG, Lev, even Nongshim, PaperX,
well, we could say PaperX is just the wild card because they can just
lose to anyone too.
It's just the narrator, that's what that, I mean I haven't watched so I don't know.
I can't make any assumptions about KC.
But just based on EMEA it feels like it's either a team tries to play two perfectly
and they just can't keep getting caught up, caught out by it.
And it feels way more individualistic, even more so than APAC sometimes.
So I don't know.
good KC is they don't really drop maps and have solid macro and player form right now
so it's so good so that helps but it would be interesting to see if EMEA can do something
this champs very interesting you have not watched EMEA yes we just said that just
we just said that press on the car thank you thank you very much
car first car baby please be updated thank you I mean nobody's a fraud though
right now but he's a he's a fraud though
I never owned a car because I always lived in LA. It was just Uber central, right? I
always lived in LA since I was like 19 years old on like team houses or in apartments and
Dallas and then Austin and then LA again, and then back to Toronto.
So I've never, I've never like needed a car for anything.
Well, he's just been gaming.
I had a map to an abyss map at that fact, but I want to know on map one,
what do you feel like the team did well?
And then what's that look for?
Best, I think our creativity was really good.
And we just kept, kept playing the game and we were playing our game.
No, you look like a Prius guy.
I don't think that a really good start kind of racism is this
any special for best you'll see I mean we we missed the map for sure all right I
like to hear that I mean it's a guaranteed Harbor comp right it's
guaranteed Harbor Viper or like a combination of that from for a best for
energy rush thank you the tier one and moms thank you for the tier one and
Thank you, 37 months, Jesus. Thank you.
I did the same escape room. Oh, yeah, did you?
Do you like it?
I am. We talk about the phoenix that we've seen for escape rooms.
Okay, here's the thing about escape rooms.
And I've been to a decent amount of them by no means like an expert.
But just based on how many times I've been to them,
you need to go with four people backs.
You can't be going with like eight people.
Or if you do go with 8 people, separate into teams of 4.
Or else it's too many people trying to do too much.
You know what I mean?
You gotta go with 4 max.
Even that's like a lot.
4 maximum and you're good.
Actually, I think 4 is the sweet spot.
I think it went also first blood 4 in 1 for the team over the side of energy
and it was also the tip of the spear that also not only killed
Do you IGL the escape rooms?
Honestly, I look for shit
I'm like the looker of things
I don't really IGL unless like something just pops up in my head like oh this is obvious
this is what we need these to happen
I'm usually just like looking at shit
like I'm just like uh
where the fuck I know there's gotta be something in this place in this spot in this spot
I just look for the things we need like the key the extra key that you need or
Like a fucking letter that you have to open or something. I'm bad guy
We just heard from bonkar is that it was an energy that was playing their own game
So this kind of a speed that they were bringing to cancel the fast bloods that were taking place or in fast
His that we're taking place wasn't just because of loud it was because this is the only one to bring and you see
I mean I guess we're calling that carrying
It was a loud guys playing an eco round for example.
Matter of running it down all the way, pushing B main, going and finding an opening, then backing
up the rest of the team.
Little things like that that are set plays that you can tell that have been practicing
for quite some time with this new composition that they're showing up.
You also expect usually with energies playing and if they find themselves it's still continuing
with a double midfielder.
Where can I find, where can I watch Vanessa's car photo, any idea, it's pinned.
We could come out with aggression in a new type of approach to maps that they could also bring slow matches, fast takes, fast hits, and match pound for pound the type of aggression for their opponents.
This is troubling for anybody having to face up with it.
Does Sam care about NRG matches? He does not like watch party, he does.
It's the gamer.
You can't see the car in the vlog properly?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know. It's a Silver Cayenne.
So, my question is are you going and winning more toys this Mata Phoenix? I feel like could
be a way to catch everybody off guard or are you going with kind of what everybody
is having fun to do?
I want to see energy play with Chaos because he said that he would be a very good player.
Joy going to Tomewary? Yeah, the weather. So the weather was really nice. We barbecued there, which is fun.
The overall like the weather when we went to like the actual park or whatever was really really nice.
There wasn't that many people. It's just chill. It's very chill.
Oh, Lotus, so maybe you can pull it out still and bring that on a bitch.
Yeah, I think energy where you're watching this global issue.
This is what we're going to bring. I think it's going to be something really doble-do, at least for both of the sides.
I know that for example one of the teams even both for Pacific and Amoea have you been to Quebec?
Oh, no, if you switch it up to on the other side, do you own your own?
Your own wind roller? Yes, but ours is broken right now. So we need to get a new stuff
Karazi thing in the tier one
Who's my favorite for champs here, right? If they lose this one, they're not
We are of course playing in a double elimination bracket
So they will just drop down to the lower bracket
But that's not where you want to be because the wind and then a win was
German came
No, I win would cement him as one of the top four teams and it will punch that ticket to Sao Paulo
Which of course is the ultimate goal here. Just arrived in Toronto. What should I do for a couple of days?
There's a lot of wonderland. Do you like theme parks? You go to wonderland
insane rides
Pre-show that a lot more pressure especially after they lost in map of the sand
This was her map. This is a map where they started to try to play their own game to find that piece
I gave them that success yesterday against Syria and again like we saw they weren't we are kids anymore
Brother you are you are a fucking kid
You wanted the turbo I wanted the SUV well, they're both SUVs
Yeah, I did want to
For a lot of that if they can get some momentum early on that can be the one condition for them
and felt like the beginning of this map they tried to and then it was a pause and then everything
just slipped through their fingers. It's also nice to see though that Ulda allowed just like
energy have a very similar map pool going into the playoffs so not afraid to try out their ascent
not afraid to try out their abyss coming up right now as well and also for allowed their
identity of the last couple of matches you want to think about recency bias probably bringing
up that phoenix again. Of course the double duelist here the phoenix for example mad at
was incredible if you have one it you know kept keeping going on this agent but also we just
have the stakes for energy they're looking comfortable Ethan is talking about it he said
i know exactly what they're doing on the other side and if he knows what they're doing on the
other side he has everything and everything that's feeling slippery not only after this map
make it to south bavlo but also to qualify for champions we're about to head into i had no
idea you were Canadian yes uber and wyatt won't be back on the mics with the bits right up the
You're not Canadian, you're Indian. Aren't you from Africa?
Stupid asshole. Idiots.
Shreelo, thank you for the prime, man.
When are you starting the gym, Ark?
Brother, I need to get out of this addiction, this valentine addiction.
The worst part is we're about to have some days off soon.
And I can't fucking wait to just wake up with a crusty still in my eyes as I open the game and start to play
First map for loud as our reigning world champions dismantle them on their pick off ascent
But a win against this team for loud wouldn't just need advancing towards the playoff
Maybe go for a walk first? Not a bad idea. A lot of good ideas out there.
A legacy of all the 2022 champs, legacy of all and start to chase this thing that
they themselves are the master of. Thank you. I wish I enjoyed the game as much as you.
Okay. Well, the perk of being me is that I've been in esports so long, I've been able to make
a lot of friends that are also professional players or ex pros. So I'm always able to
play with people that I like and I'm familiar with, right? So that's what makes it fun for me.
I'm never gonna like, I will solo queue here and there if I have to, but I have enough friends
to be able to play the game with. And it's fun. You just got to find a group of people that
always want to play the game, and you'll have fun playing the game, as long as they're not
just annoying.
How do you find them? Find them in this chat, bro.
What are you guys talking about? Why don't you guys make friends with each other in this chat?
What the fuck are you guys doing?
Why are you all out here just talking shit and making enemies?
Try making friends once in a while.
Someone asks like a good question, be like,
Hey man, I was wondering the same thing. That's a really good question.
Uh, nine notion. Keep that up, buddy.
Like, you know what I mean? And then all of a sudden you guys are whispering each other.
You can hear just buying a bit of extra time now in and then your friends we've not seen either of these teams on this map for a
While we've never seen this loud look here and look show picking up the order
Prophetic I mentioned to be missing the same on doors in that this guy said and fucking each other all right same creativity
This is what I'm talking about chamber into the yoru arena just yesterday before the playoffs began
It's a problem is this new generation of edge edge lords
Just you just need to out edge one another and act cool. You're not cool. You guys all got stuffed in lockers
Why are we acting cool on the internet now? Just be you?
Just just be friends. Let's just all be friends
We all do the same shit anyway. We say here and watch better players play the game
We all do the same shit we watch better players play the game and not retain any information play ranked
because we're motivated that we can do the same thing we can't and we realize
very quickly that we can't we tilt we we close the game restart everyone does
the same thing was 11 no need to know that you think is the embodiment of
longevity in a space where that is rare it is rarefied air to be able to
compete at the top but you have major way so you're in whether that major win
The test was literally right after the fucking meteor hit our planet and the dinosaurs were right though
There they has all of the confidence of a young upcoming player that knows the talent that they've got but
But doesn't know what the ceiling is. This is the ultimate test though
To brains once again clash this time the arena is a beast as energy
Look to end the series and book that ticket to Sao Paulo
Wait, what's called Adam Phoenix Phoenix jet no harbor they do have Viper no sense
Wow
That's both scuba lives gets three's an ace the Kiko jet and the motto Phoenix
He's just gonna use be damned the Kiko J is hitting. What is it with hand cannon three case in our pistol routes?
Everyone's doing it
In the post plan, Erday is very separate from Darby. There's a window here where he can't intervene either. Up against the world
This guy's gonna have to have a s-sup, I don't know.
And he is caught. Too many places to be looking and Erday was not-
Jesus.
Wrap it up.
Perhaps a miscalculation by Erday.
Wasn't able to get in crow's nest in time to be relevant there.
What the fuck is happening up there?
This is energy already off to a hot start, continuing the momentum from that first map.
I do wonder if this is a look that they're going to be leaning into.
Freaking me out.
Maybe a bit more across the board with this jet venus, honestly.
Yeah.
Because I'm hot.
Come here, skirmisher! Come here, skirmisher!
Get that orb! Let's go, bro.
And the meme is born.
Energy has always been a team that wants to go their own way.
Maybe they find a double-door list of a flavor that suits them better.
Instead of forcing this neon phoenix
Wait, you guys are fucking weird
They are fucking strange little creatures
Aw, he lived, he lived, he lived, he lived, that's big
Someone's gotta come help him right now and redraw
redone so he's got a redone this shit that's how it's gonna be from the
ticker's you know allows him to circumvent the main choke to get into the
site easily oh shit oh shit back to back to start padding
this game's already over a guy's login when the pistol look we needed them to
you'll be there's no third Matthew charts yeah everything else if you sort by
any statistical category perhaps this time in MVP candidacy that could not
It's funny too off the, you know, back of a stage in which I think NRG's...
Look at Brock screen the next time they show a highlight of him.
He literally looks like he's observing.
They were 5-0. There wasn't one guy carrying them, one guy putting up obscene numbers compared to the crowd.
Many contrasts for loud you have Luke show ticketing ready top four players in stage two energy
Just kind of all over the place all contributing. There was no point on three writing on this team. They are all
All looking very nice in the stats department some old and others broke
Instadrone up mid on enough info. That's fine. You know you have to use something aggressive here though in the mid-round
They need to get extra info so they can over stack a site, or they just need to gamble a site. There's no way they're holding.
On the bonus, Kiko looks to leverage that sheriff's stopping power.
Still plenty of time to work the map.
Late drone in? I assume? Yeah, David Davie is going to late drone in and then they pop in.
If Phoenix is going to move, that's the question.
things on that B site. Tigger's in a course with a light speed. My eyes are on him. How
does he get into an advantage position with this mobility?
Oh, he's moving. Oh boy, he got his. Oh my God, they're running out of this.
Big kill though.
Scoob, Stanger Live is always...
Danger there but tucks away weapon re-advantaged for loud and they could post up on deeper angles
Oh, that's all the paranoia gets out good smoke though
They got a retake before this light comes on it's not a bad decision from the server
End is Davi
Maggie's made a world and I don't know that he is imperious in this spot
So good
Please do all on his own so good. Well done live. Oh good recovery in this round
You mentioned it, but it was against Furia. It was on Xbox 360, they had turned them off.
Those loud execs involved multiple TPs from Air Day, whether it was tucking super far forward into a corner, or just sending a smoke up top,
TPing into it, same time, double duelist, pop through, he runs out the smoke. That was flattening Furia defense.
It feels like we might be getting more of the same, but that is for loud looked most potent.
See if NRG have the answer.
NRG looked to try and fight ahead at that early action.
5B just fight for here so he's rotating to him.
Oh my god.
Ethan flank.
Ethan flank.
Ethan flank is a good timing too.
The eggs are coming up.
NRG cash is low.
This is a critical round for a loud to take.
What made him stop watching Ethan?
Yep.
And then he stays alive.
This is a beautiful, beautiful play.
This is a beautiful play.
This is a beautiful play.
This is a beautiful play.
This is a beautiful play.
This is a beautiful play.
Oh what a kill.
He was winning all those timings yesterday, those were the key things.
Unless Erday saves it again.
Now Scuba and Kiko are going to throw themselves out of this problem, but Erday is more than
hardened enough to handle them.
Scuba doubles back, didn't want to take the fight, Tiga's in our spot on out going
very low, playing out towards that coast side.
Erday softened up by the shock, and eventually brought down by Scuba.
Darker Heal will be flashed and pushed.
Just well played.
Good push, Ethan.
Good entry.
And then he stayed alive after.
That moment against the AWP.
And the smokes are just...
The stones are hurting loud just as much as they're hurting energy in that site, the site hold.
Good jump.
Yeah, he jumps.
Head of the reaction Ethan prove you're on also going in
Running a Sentinel list calm one. That's going to be heavily relying their avoiding. He goes off
Which is big execs into sites and then we're poppings and fighting on the deep side definitely susceptible
I'm getting baited for now. You're just breaking drone and getting out
Okay
It's a trade. Oh, they got deep down in a place. You can just talk either way island people come from three different angles
with an exact plan in the teleport behind from Erde to get the flank up on retake
I mean if these spawn kills come in sure good adjustment to that situation but
Kill for Marduk here means to run it back
Can he snowball this time around?
Wow scuba fighting to
Dorker just can't get a third because actually in a relevant position up to a jiggle special now with Bobby having been spotted out
He could find a light on this but gets accosted by Luke show
He intuits that movement and Davi is able to fend for himself
I mentioned the energy made a little adjustment there is Brock specifically the smoke comes out
Make sure your area someone is dying in this weather
It's Erdey, it's Waleys, someone is getting in this smoke
Damn, Luke's talking about ping too, if Brock had stayed in that smoke
He gets free kill there too on Luke's show
In front of his crosshair
But while that's going on Erdey is already teleported behind
And it's gotten crunched
It was not the clone that got hit by the...
Oh, maybe you're right, maybe you're right.
Looked like it was the player though.
Uh, Salty Go could be in the prime though.
Oh my god, still 3 in a side though.
Nice shot.
opener might I guess this trade is gonna be push up through a main right about
now and Ethan is very low hoping for a one-and-done something through smoke
something so fucked this happened in the last round two different teammates
died he's just so fucked inside it was a force by half nice try on the the
holds from energy though like I see what they're trying to do considering a
time out it's the save down to try and keep this loud way like dashing in
every other flashes you're TPing in
already sometimes CPs in as well
it's T-Town
taking down to the cloudburst
Sijou thank you for the crud
thank you thank you
that's not a Viper I think it's solid
you have the Molly for delay
The Viper Wall for retake which you absolutely need so you're gonna have to just constantly
use smokes.
If you only have one singular controller the problem is he has to smoke two different areas.
He has to be able to smoke A and be able to smoke B so you basically have to have an
Astra.
You have double controller, one controller can fully focus on A while the other one
focuses on B.
Or m-
Oh nice little-
Satcher right there on the wards in butt!
What a necristic life.
Wow, how did they get cleaned so badly through the snowball, right?
Did he dash into window? Like I don't understand. How did he get so many kills?
Oh, he pushed down mid.
What the fuck TP into window Phoenix pushing down flashing and then they have jet pushing from the top mid
This window side push timing for it on two three players three different angles to look at with the sova ult coming
I mean again that is deadly as fuck. Yo, every team is stealing that
Because you see I'll come in here's that reckoning
He's got some drop down and pike coast, but that's where the paranoia was intended for
he could find a moment here because they know it's just pulling his way through
Ethan? Ethan? Ethan? Ethan?
Surely they do!
Oh, he can do that!
Well done.
And this is a great half for energy. Four rounds on defense already.
can't come up with the kills.
Teleport from Ethan behind is nice.
The rest of the team trying to fight on site.
It's all a great idea, but
loud are able to come away with the important kills.
You can see like on the site, again,
I mean, how many times in the last two days
are we talking about just loud executes?
But they just come in, plan, activate, go.
Like the reckoning cuts off the entire.
Loud execs are good.
I mean, they're obviously very drilled execs,
which I like, and they've drilled their post plants as well, so it's solid.
And they're like fast and annoying to deal with, which is, I guess, better for their playstyle.
Only thing is though, I think Loud would have actually benefited from a lurker.
But I get the double duelist.
But I really think they would have benefited from like a late lurk.
They would benefit from like a late lurk in these post plants as well.
Boxes in the coast and they got crunched.
Remember, Loud aren't playing with a Sentinel.
So NRG can work them out. We saw Ethan find success with that low cut mid. They're always going to be on a clock because they have no trips. No way of early detection for these wide flanks.
So far I'm seeing the vision with this yoru though. They just want to dive, go for big execs on attack and then it keeps Luke showing a position to be a good AWPing agent on defense.
Hey it doesn't make sense. Ethan is playing.
It's like I'm out of here bro. I can't deal with that shit. They could have TP'd up mid guys. Spawn gap.
I never mind no spawn gap, I don't have that.
This is a good spot.
No, it's not.
The insistence from Chico, he gives himself up and accrues this. This is now going to throw it loud in a disarray
They've got to hit this B site, but they know there's a backstab presence established now with this jet
The driver you till no ultimates. They know they have to fight forward find an opening somewhere
Oh my god
And we'll push them back at energy of a sick alas. It's hot clock is ticking down
But Ethan emerges
Yo Kiko is fussed for that. You know who she needs to get involved and not just wait for somebody come and call
Yo, TK Zin, well done though.
He did way more than he should have been able to do though.
Ah, he played really well there.
Yo, Kiko is a legend for that shit.
Best game of his stage. What a play dance furia
Who up trap dashes in the window in that situation, but he knows they're all past
So they're gonna be behind him. He can't dash backwards the recognition of that that quickly is insane
Not from link, but from heaven. That's where the enforcers come
No, you couldn't wait for him to peak, but he's not giving them anything just yet patience
And actually you're gonna clear this box though. Sure. He's now being reached. Oh, it's gonna get up close and personal
Wow, that is beautiful from Kiko, I'm not going to lie.
Play of the game for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was like that was overshadowing everything but credit to Kiko this was a round-winning play early on
And somehow they still get so close to this in is such a problem just knowing that he can take that peak forward and we'll be
Your waltz ominal you got audacious asking for more
or wide swinging that angle against Erdain is rewarded for it.
Heavy mid from energy, just pushing.
I hear a blight storm, Kiko evading himself off the knives.
Okay, they canceled, interesting.
Which energy have been just so happy to do?
Ah, the B-split, the only strat everyone runs with you over here.
Spot everyone out towards B, can teleport back to that.
I'm lucky they don't have so much.
the site. Scaling forward, getting the space, loot your time. He's not the drone, but he's
exposed for it.
It's a multi-swing though, ready for him.
What are you saying?
He's alive. Tickazine again, he's doing the most. We're in a post plant now with the
pit, allowing NRG away to get back into the big site.
There is Sela, thank you for the tier one. Thank you.
And a sneaky backstab.
Hello, hello, hello.
Adam?
Tickazine's been dealt with. Darvi now is making his way out. This is uncomfortable!
And Darvi fires in the second, he's nuts!
ridiculous headshot taken brought down to the game and now the problem is the guy outside my window clean
window has offered a slug in for a penny in for a pound it's time to get this round win
I actually don't know what to do this is never happened before
six help left five more than he needs loud get to parody happy to thrive in the chaos that
they're creating the timing on the flank is ridiculous I'm not looking at them we made
contact though it's a very weird what the fuck is happening right now this is
literally never happened the entire time I've lived here
just one of that is so ridiculous I can't believe that
guys are annoying at that point oh it's just gonna be the zoom he was born to be
dive into the site you need to get out of here right now please just tethered
down brother my window does not need cleaning I promise you it's clean
Lower his head profile
How accurate is he gonna be?
Might not matter at that rate. That's actually a disgusting spur. I locked eyes with him. You know what I locked eyes at this guy
Give me a little he was like he gave me like a nice head nod. It's like
Fuck my sister playing this round
The most patient they've played
Dangerous dangerous solution gives himself up, but it's just baddest to play into an Ethan shows himself
It's those bandits that are the cause for the patients.
This is gonna precipitate.
I'm completely out of this game.
I'm completely out of this game.
I need to mentally lock back in.
That shit just threw me off.
The guy just flew down like Spider-Man
and started cleaning that goddamn window.
The fuck is going on?
I'm on defense, louder playing patients.
Patient excuse me.
They wait that out.
Bro, what is all these game sets?
He's gone.
He's gone.
Okay, that's a nice little recon.
Shocked out attempt.
Well done, suit.
Well done.
He's got a timing, and he fights too, that's all he's going to have. Broke gets a little better weapon, but he's hit with his paranoia, has to duck back behind the side.
He's got to fight quickly to get the duel that has no idea where they could come from.
That round really just comes down to Lucio being able to find all those picks, getting the kills, and then apparently just selling the picks.
We're going to open up the window while he's cleaning it, and somehow there's an accident, his tether breaks and he falls and dies, because of me.
Because I'm trying to tip him.
I swear it's like only he can do that.
He's like, he uses his own Eldrone.
He just takes contact and beats two players on that B side of the map.
It's 2026, he uses Venmo, what should I type a message down and put it up on a piece of
paper?
What's your Venmo question?
Put your boy Darker on there.
Venmo question?
One duelist is like 100 rounds of Phoenix and here he is playing Yoru in the playoffs.
for the last round of NRG's defense side.
Clones shot, Mata trying to get a cross.
He'll get a high base, he'll get a high base.
They killed the three dead.
Mata eventually brought down the three dead.
He already is insane.
What the hell is that?
How fast is that adjustment from Air Day 2?
Denied a swing out from Kiko.
Makes it one for one.
Darker gets the reckoning.
And he wants to use it straight away.
In conjunction with Dabi Hunter.
He delayed the retake.
He's forced NRG away.
It drives away between NRG and side.
not a lot of damage but
Rocktown drawing gets out there modest at his third kill of the round. This is getting a little darker loud
Now you try to find the line great timing, but it's traded and it's all on Derby
The spirit earlier
It's gonna be a push out of smoke. It's tough to win those in Marta finally
Revenge revenge for the timing in the last round get a go to that
I mean, yeah, they all took you quickly. I guess I mean it was definitely a quick old
They just thought they were retaking they thought they were close like that's all it was
Louge's didn't recognize how far energy was they thought energy was flooding in
You look uncomfortable still not anymore
I should have threw me out though
Look down if he's still there in this one
And killing the anchors when they show up. It's a pretty solid attack app all these considered
They didn't win the pistol, but they still put up sticks.
Tide game on abuse. We're gonna head to a break and see what NRG's attack side has for us.
Not showing my ass anymore.
I didn't realize you guys were gonna comment on that fucking ass.
Weirdos.
good gracious gracious dat ass is bodacious yeah this is a 10 minute timeout for this guy
Kiko, we're in the playoffs now. Big pressure in these matches. Do you do anything different
to prepare for a playoff match?
Not really individually, but as a team I think we had a lot of practice. We had two
week break coming into this, so pretty prepared for the like, so it's going to be a good
game today.
Good luck.
I know you look better than they have ever looked. Not going to lie. At least
this year with this lineup they look solid as fuck where do they get this
music from I just I'm genuinely so fucking blown away what I put it what is
this food buffing the prime
hey listen to this
of
some of the talk about a lot this year, we said never has a full-time series even if he starts slow and speeds up never stays out of the
way through this year now I'm 14 and 7 with a neon Phoenix to move me pistol
allowed me pistol and bonus actually jet and it has looked fire on the opposing
side of your list in the hands of a man never what a Molly bro he is caught by
monitored about by Luke and that's game response and I do dangerous here trading
up G fucking G beautiful scaling is also taking this game into his own hands
left in a 1v3. Talked about how you have to call against their mastermind, the
maestro, the puppet. But early is fragged out this game. First in to the side a lot of
the time with these TPs forward. Look at scuba. Just no chances being given. No
chances. I think it's gonna be a little bit too much there towards B main.
That's the high, that's the biggest risk he's taken in the game.
They made to open that tournament and then close it with the trophy lift this is all off the map. Yeah, they are
Now a lot of defense though in big yoru has that ability to be pretty on the present across the side of them
They get into your window
Keep an eye for that guy crash your arm and look sure. Thank you very much running with Jordan and are you excited for the
New car. I thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am excited for it. However, it's gonna get here
You're early next year, it's January, so it's kind of annoying that I have to wait for it,
whatever.
And it might have watched Partying with Jordan though.
Maybe some games though, but like not today.
the stage statistically they've struggled on these rounds.
They've only won the 22% all the time.
Second lowest in the league is probably the biggest weakness
that they had in the team through that one.
Wait, wait up for me.
We're gonna play after this.
I'm not watching the next game.
I'm fucking kidding, kid.
Go get your elo.
Go get your elo back and then I'll bring you back
down to 50.
RG incredible, thank you for the 10 gifted.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, I'm keeping Zeppas, I'm keeping Zeppas, uh,
a little very humble.
Funny thing is Zeppas does the same thing every time.
If I don't drop 30, then we just can't win!
Yeah, then fucking drop 30, kid.
Fuck you waiting for.
What kind of invitation are we waiting for here?
Yeah, I saw you go 6 and 22 in an OT game. Yeah, that was tough. I was very tough. I was on fade
We won that game that's what's crazy
22 and 6 I guarantee we would have lost that game
Sometimes I would love to be carried Zeppa you were carried by oxy for fucking years
It's time you step up
All right, and carry me
What are we talking about?
It's like what is this guy saying? It's I want to be carried sometimes
And when the rest of them are left to just does it count if we didn't make anything?
Yes, it fucking counts on VLR dot GG it fucking counts
This is well, I'll do it
This is energy's map pick. They lose theirs ultimately in a bit of a
anti-climatic way
No guys I figured out I figured out the method in ranked you know what it is play Kao
perma play Kao and you will break people's brains
He's won in this loud economy despite not winning the pistol
Clear of a main now Mike the fuck is that by typing 12 5 for behind this drone
We were we were 12 we were 12 5 down today, and he typed I won these before
Actually knowing for that, I don't even laugh at that. That's the thing. I got I got annoyed
I mean like I didn't even like giggle. I didn't even smirk
They're ready to flood though. No, not really. They need Yoru. They need Yoru and Omenplash to flood this
NRG, Hilo. Guarantee they're gonna Hilo.
They're gonna leave one in the Bonsai. Yep, always do this. They leave one guy as a hero and then they high-low here
Same protocol still French to incite while the rest of the team are just back out in Maine here come loud
What can mother do on his own playing in the smoke?
We'll be master to find a timing. He's waiting for someone to come and explore this
There's a loudest so outplayed
for you with mother
Throwing into the mixture. It's all too easy. Oh, yeah, I could do that
There you go. Oh, yeah, that's an impish grin from the Giants
energy with that wallop was just multiple spam kills couldn't
We'll say I remember newly after that mass qualify people who punch at me in the garage
I just cross a because it could allow for I guess I'm just throwing punches at everyone
My boy drew apparently got punched or did I get punched by him?
Throwing punches at Zeppa. I'm just a violent guy. They just make that look so effortless
Doesn't matter how you get the round wins.
Let's go!
Dub is a dub.
And I'd even have a chance to really build up.
Because the streets that I come from isn't Lollipop lane like you guys.
I came from the streets of Moshe.
Tanzania Africa, baby.
We don't fuck around over there.
And you are here. CT, CT on the left, guys.
Right there.
You have other.
I think when people are calming too much Kiko gets overstimed
What if you maybe watch midchartate and I'll stop the fight.
Got it guys, good spacing the whole way.
This guy could be snappy.
Never saw Darker.
He was early, wait earlier.
My bro.
I'm gonna hold flank, I'm just gonna stay in the window, I'm gonna stay in the window.
I'm gonna hold site guys, I'm gonna hold site.
Can you guys play out after Skrug gets bombed down?
I'm gonna play Skrug, I'm gonna play while you ult.
Heaven, Heaven already.
I'm flashing.
Heaven walk out.
Heaven, Heaven.
I got you, I got you.
I can't see anyone.
I can't see anyone.
One on lower in the smoke, in the smoke.
I have your back.
I have your back
He's not cuz he was talking and he died
Straight show
We're good
Get to the top side as well, I'm good. I'm good guys
How many times
How many times have you like talked not even looked at radar?
That's not even that bad
But when you talk and as you're typing or you're pressing your key to talk you die
That has got to be like top one worse ways to die
Shit is annoying as fuck what it is literally I guarantee that's what you think got mad at
He was talking and the guy the guy in the communication that
Just clearly separates energy from the rest of the themes when he listens to the way that they
speak to each other it is just that championship level of efficiency but the
temptation is cream into the void and run it down against this loud team I can
see it's there for an IG. No it's not even like if you're push to talk or not
it's just when you're talking you're just not as focused that's all it is
you're talking the guy peeks it's weird it's not about push to talk or no
push to talk. Why are you talking while I'm holding an angle? Yo, people get mad at me.
I got mad at Zepa yesterday or today. This guy's having a bull-blown conversation in
a post-plant while dead with another dead guy there's arguing absolutely is a
world where they can win this out those alts come to fruition okay well you were
dead though why are you talking to this guy what are you even saying I don't even
know what you guys were talking about like sense you're like criticizing him
about something I don't buy a stale price or something he's immediate let
be an idiot stop trying to change these guys won't be allowed to escape back inside security
it's a great catch from kiko they're trying to flip the map lucio oh my god just talks back
around the corner gets the jump spot rocks alive it's fun kiko desperately wants an engagement
look at this beautiful gun though there's need to link up please just put it in my store
put it in me they're both tapped up pretty heavy what can darker do with this reckoning
energy want to fight in front of kiko wants to i'm not killed before he comes through here
Here it is.
I see it up like key code fast reaction.
Now playing into the reckoning.
That is insane.
Why did he do that?
There it is.
He saw where it came from.
You shot down out of security.
The harbor ultimate.
Absolutely gutting for NRG.
From the opening sheriff kill to Air Day,
just claiming that smoke with the judge gets the two.
Everything goes right for loud.
I think he forgot what it does.
OK, if that was me, I think that's
an acceptable answer.
I'm starting to believe.
Let's cut around the last couple of rounds.
Listen into energy that sounds agitated keep on desperately looking for a fighting security
There's a pot to victory here for the talking at stairs got over stimmed again
They're just gonna keep the rudder steady and energy still have a bye. You're loud is actually making this pretty interesting now
Can we lock in?
Guys are talking too much about random asher
Oh
are going to accelerate especially given they've already got the teleport in from Ethan from the shadows gets him into the middle of this site claims all of the ground
They're gonna go high low again. We're gonna do the high low thing again leave Adam in sight. Yeah, they are
Energy again a smile you'll pick that spot up eventually
But this is some of the a name presence being neutralized louder making an adjustment energy all play from a main last time
Let's flank behind them and apply that pressure divide their attention delaying uses delay
I might have to run it back here, but he's not actually pushing off the side
Hoping that that's an answer, but he's not even going to spot out of player loud weighted out
The clock runs low, but they have to move right now engage post plant cringes to maximum on the side is
Waiting their TP forward now. I'm gonna play around this look at this
It's gonna be you can dropping down not gentle. What's so ever?
I have to buy my new plants are just so frustrating to play against everyone out in Maine
And then just leave the smoke in sight leave someone inserted in it
Just dancing around terribly designed about the clock is low every time I watch these post plants
I think to myself what an absolutely disgusting excuse of an offices
2 rounds away and energy lock up that spot in Sao Paulo.
Louds last round got them back in the game, but their hopes are just dashed.
How would you counter that energy post plant, triple flank?
Triple flank or spam the fuck out of the guys that are spamming the bomb?
Like if you watch one bot of that, I think you now know what to do against it.
The louder or not familiar.
One champions, top two finish at EWC.
You have to rewatching flank, yeah, but it's hard to triple peak that angle, those angles.
Like if you have, throw a smoke on bomb and fake TP into it, they're instantly going
to start spamming or like at the very least they have to have people looking at that.
And if they do triple swing flank, it's still like, not a terrible disadvantage for you.
Cause you have three there yourself.
Now if they peek with a Phoenix Flash, which ideally they've used in the bomb site to take
it, then they have no U-Till left.
They're just peeking you dry.
So triple flank is still good.
Meanwhile, you still have your U-Till, so you could like, paranoia the fuck out
of A&A.
Or like, your U-Flash or Phoenix Flash A&A.
NRG smack down a resurgent loud of their previous encounter
What a series by Adam though. Is that a good ass game?
I can only make it to Sao Paulo. They'll qualify for champions
I'm trying to push down
Oh, you think I'm allowed every day. They kill. They kill Andy left. They turn around
Oh, what's the judge? Mono is hungry for revenge. Well done, Luccio.
Wow, he keeps saying me, this is weird for energy.
Energy have to push spawn here.
Murphy thinking with prime just as energy are trying to take space in the site
They've already lost this space behind them. Yeah, that's got to show a little bit
Monster hurry up to get to his team, but it's he doesn't play with the body to take his time
Not many teams you don't have eyes on maybe you have to be aware of that. You have to take your time
very few here comes to get any in your face spots energy are ready for it
they're ready to get some action he killed Lucia through the viper orb and
nothing just been around the fastest obscurity to no variety archive I've
ever seen from a valorant team at this level but NRG are ready for anything
loud note they're going to end on this oh shit the loud gamble would they
Not energy have been playing this side. The Brock's gonna ult them maybe
One minute left one minute left scooper and Bork dragging themselves away
Scuba on dreadfully low age rate recovery here from love though good gamble
Utility to work with as well smoke rock cutting off the side of scuba runs worst case Brock will hear them going spawn
He doesn't hear anything so
I mean the problem is they have smoke for bomb and he doesn't even have hyper molly he has to go for a kill
That's the very least he has to play close. Yeah
Well played here well played well played
Looks like he's gonna get up on that high ground. This is the game on the line right now
Wow, there is a fucking genius he smokes bomb gets on top
Demanding from loud that they follow in his footsteps
What a gamble here by the way chat.
The triple A gamble?
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Celebrate thinking of the prime. How can you avoid these gambles?
I mean, you can't. The opponent does a gamble.
Then whatever you're trying to do, like say you're faking B then go A.
They don't even hear the B you till so they're just gonna stay
You can't really avoid it outside of just going up middle
You go up middle and split the site
It's like the only way because then you make them separate in different angles, right?
But then what if they're triple gambled in mid then it's like weird because now you're you split up your forces
Instead of just like energy did the right thing five manning something
because you want to use your numbers, in worst case you'll trade there, which they, I mean, they didn't, but
ideal world, if the exec is good enough, you trade, but then I think, I think it was Erdey, or someone shot someone through the smoke, I think it was
whoever the second guy was, he, he spanned someone through the smoke.
If you default though, question mark, I mean, they had already defaulted there, they were doing mid control, they got two kills, and then they went into the exec.
Did I qualify so they could stay they could like delay and like do like 1 1 3 after and just wait for it for
Loud to push but if loud just stays in a whole round that doesn't accomplish anything
Release from all you done is waste time two rounds away
Loud are digging deep fighting for every round. I have to lock down this right now that reckoning is well time from darker
Bob is not ready to walk into that an Ethan just get shot from above
it's gonna be Kiko trying to salvage you. You could actually you know what energy could have done?
Wow, Lara's gonna win this cap? Are you serious?
Shocks are good for a bit of damage. Scuba is just trying to find the path to victory.
Where can he stand? Where can he position himself? They're closing in from all angles.
He might just be good for one kill and done, but he's able to escape.
He saw the traces the plume from the shots.
There's a bait on the side. That's true! Surely not!
Scuba! With the Bucky! Brought down by...
Holy shit.
Another almost round for Scuba.
Holy shit.
...the decay brought them all down to absolutely nothing.
Oh my god, the down the loud players in hindsight sorry in hindsight what energy could have done
is they could have walked one person be while they for exact a and if that person was able
to walk into be for free then they could have just ran up to him you know like what teams
do on eco rounds where they just send a guy solo into the site and if he finds people
Then they just go to the other bomb site they couldn't have done that has been so close in those moments. I guess
It's hard to be ready for that in a 1v3 and now we have an even game and that is hand-bumping the crime
sideways for them
Loud wants to insert some aggression just taking the early control of a main forcing energy to need to
Re-clear it need to use some tools if they want to go back into the exact if they have
love their bread and butter on this attack side the catalyst for Phoenix
all it's gonna have to do a lot now early aiming pressure things kind of insert
someone or at least have someone holding it and they hold for mid-push
and then they change their mind run it back ready for modern if he wants to
Damn, they were waiting for Luxio to do this too, he just did it a little later.
Luxio's reminding me of Francis right now what the shit he's doing.
Oh, there's timing that Luxio has, though, if he continues.
Oh, fuck.
He's trying to sit back in a main. He won't be ready for the attack.
NRGA post plant. They've already won two of these.
Love know how they play them.
All the way into fence.
Trying to play off of Mada.
NRGA are making a massive adjustment to their post plant setup compared to the rounds of Mada.
Do they expect Adam and Heaven here though?
Have the in real time adjustment to be able to close this round out fire.
Adam is baiting as much as he can.
There was a deep smoke in the water that direction that's Ethan inside the smoke.
Fighting for his life. It's one.
Mada on the outside of the place.
We'll see the dash and the refract.
Oh my TK's in.
He gets the both heavy players.
TK's in kills both of you with seven.
Zeefuse! The setup! The map points!
I can't believe we're here.
0-2 on pistol rounds.
He killed both.
Every round, Loud has won. They are...
Like, Adam did a good job bathing for Kiko.
He made himself known, and then died for Kiko.
Kiko should be getting a free kill there.
But look at TKZ, he's aware.
How is he aware of the second guy?
Those in the moment calls to be able to dismantle energy's very very different post plant setup having with both duelist towards vent
That's something completely new. Oh she dashed so he knew for sure. Oh, that's unlucky man
Well, you're saying the way they dashed he saw Kiko in that dash
Really? I don't think so. Kika was in Vets. Sova saw him earlier.
here. See, they're knowing exactly because like I don't think that information was given
to Adam then because I think Adam thought Kiko wasn't seen at all and he's bidding
for him. That championship either way Kiko has to kill it. He isn't there and that's
all it is to glory in 25. They were behind in many games and had to orchestrate some
That guy should never get 2 in heaven.
I think the fact that Lucio got A main, yeah I know, but when you assume majority are back-sites, so maxed 1 heaven.
Sorry, back-site. Here.
Oh, shit.
Let's see if he...
Does Ethan get spammed here?
Oh my god, all the time!
What a jump!
Sartori...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
WAIT!
This could all go wrong for Red Archie.
This could be the map.
Mata trying to fight out the open and all.
Brock is one away from Sylvils.
He needs one kill.
One player this guy is.
Louder fighting to untether themselves
of every other era of this franchise.
And a win against the 2025 World Champions
would be just the pair of shears to cut the cord.
Yeah, finally one person in chat who didn't type
Gigi five rounds ago that actually thought
loud he's going to bring that back they didn't win either pistol round and yet
they win it out crunched on 13 to 11 listen we talked at the top of the
map setting up air day versus can we go watch that round back need to use some
tools if they want to go back oh that's just taking all that space on
He got pinged, I mean that's just disgusting isn't it?
But I mean guys, the thing is like he can fall, like I mean he's still gonna clear it
though.
into vents, trying to play off of Mata.
Energy are making a massive adjustment
to their post plant setup compared to the rounds before.
Do loud have the in real time adjustment
to be able to-
So loud was gonna go heavy heaven.
The wall comes up, they said, fuck it, go CT.
Ethan made a pretty good play here,
going inside of smoke to get as many as he can,
do as much damage as he can.
Close this round out 5v4.
This was always playing,
there was a deep smoke into what's that direction,
that's Ethan inside the smoke,
fighting for his life, it's won.
Is he spotted here do you guys know like on radar does he show up there
Like obvious like a hundred percent he's seen there
I mean Kiko's got to be hiding then I don't know he can't see both
He shouldn't see both but I maybe didn't expect him to dash like that
I don't know. I think they just expect him to walk up. So that's why they're like right next to each other
So if one guy dies the other one's just ready to trade right away
Refract I can't win Kiko
That is this is an insane 2k that he had
insane 2k
Does this momentum carry over to the next map?
It's the same win cons guys.
I really think it was more heroics than anything else that saved.
Like if we're being real here, loud played well, but it was heroics.
They had a 5v3, they gambled A perfectly, and then even when they gambled A, it was still
a 2v2 in favor of NRG in terms of positionally in the map.
Brock literally had the kill.
So technically like I have to be honest when I say this is heroic save these guys like
individual heroics saved loud loud and the only way loud actually wins this game is winning
both pistols.
this kid. Seven for a while. I mean Adam's having a game dude. Not gonna lie I think what's
It's crazy about NRG, no glaze, but I don't know.
Like NRG is always good games.
They're never like, they don't make it easy, ever.
It's always good games with them.
Like imagine, like remember the Lev NRG game?
That was a fucking still the best game of the split by far that I've watched this
entire season.
This is the game, this is my favorite game, the Lev NRG game.
So fun to watch.
They play fun really right, the Hive movement, and this facing is so good.
Yeah, and yet it was plus like they do things other teams don't do their idea like fully buy into their ideas
Like whatever ball car is saying to them. They have kept the same abyss protocol of that a post plant
For like such a long time
So these things like stick with them and they just drill the fuck out of it
The same a post plant with four people leaving the bombsite and one guy staying hero in there getting smoked off over and over again
Or playing in like a cage or whatever
They just do shit other teams don't do. It's impressive.
And the games are always close with them. They don't stop other teams and other teams don't stop them.
Doing loud beating G2 13-1 on Lotus will give them confidence to be energy on this map.
I mean, if Enarchic is playing Viper Vyze here, that can be a problem on Lotus, but who fucking knows?
It all depends on the start-lub gets. I don't know about momentum stuff, because it's game to game.
Thank you for the 7 months, Scythe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
talked about right it's those young players you just no fear just send it
absolutely sending it and then making it work as well of course they were
shooting across the board there as well lock show once again an absolute aim
but on the server like an incredible performance look show first time ever
that we see him on this euro this is the other secret that he told me when he
was telling me that they wanted to play this map is that he was going to be on
that euro first time ever and he does such an incredible job I think that
The easy thing would have been to put him on the chamber to have him take a lot of that mid control
It take those midfights as we've seen for other teams
But him getting a little bit more active and being such a key part of how those retakes it loves these crouched pizza
It's premium is perfect every time. Yeah, I mean, he's not taking a step back from any of the shooting
He's able to do like he does on the chamber
But you just talked about the retake capabilities of Luccio
You have to look the replay of this run right here the round winning here for
Loot show and loud because he teepies all the way back towards Ivy
Do you think Jin can lean into the Phoenix instead of the whaley now that Moda shows how good it is?
Back into the site to get the information and get the paranoia out of Erday for them to close up the map
Those are some things that are
Jin is limit testing. You don't see that from a lot of euros when it comes to time in the VCTs
And he's able to show like he's a veteran on that agent
That's the crazy part right like when we got that information that this is actually the first time in his pro career
That he's playing Yoram is unbelievable
It's such a raw talent and you had the insight there. Okay. Now I understand
What a comeback from loud though on defense side of this suit that is so difficult to do
stage did wind up against EG
but
What do we know about louds playstyle on notice? I think this is one of those where we can expect them
Hello, Tarnished
Mazzy, thank you for 37 months
They played in stage 2, but also all the way when they were playing Masters.
But I think the pace for these two should match maybe what we saw in the map.
Brock Vise? Yeah, I'm pretty sure, right?
Brock is Vise and then they have Viper, Scuba, Fade was Ethan, Adam Brays.
Okay, nice ribbon. Kiko...
Or was Chamber Kiko? Really?
.
Omen or Chamber
I'm confident on this map and when they got tested by EG where EG thought that they
anteed everything around energy.
It was a 31 scoreline for energy.
Right so it's a very tough matchup still but after the results from that second map
from Loud I still think that this is going to be a competitive third map and it shouldn't
be as one sided here for energy after all.
I mean, loud beat crew on this map too.
Or did they lose the crew?
They beat crew, right?
That one guy there you're looking at right now or the the young ideal who made that winning map of this possible
And now who won lotus is good to close it out against the champs of energy
Well, Ethan he said in the map one he knows exactly how lot is going to play button
Just because you know it doesn't mean that you can't win those rounds
We saw it in two crucial scenarios in that lack of love is that second half or it's a loss to crew that it takes
And it was the individual plays one the series as you read that was coming through it was shutting down
some of that utility. The back and forth between the two is going to be crucial to find out who is going to
to Pablo and his energy will qualify for champions today. Yeah, those IGLs have been going toe to toe
an absolute incredible feat from this young IGL earner to take it to even like that. We're heading
into top three and the winner will be heading to Brazil for next week's roadshow. Don't go anywhere.
A wristy thank you. It's your one. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm champagne Pablo things your one
Thank you guys
Is there a Turkish no nope nope nope it's from Brazil
I
Wow, what's crazy chat is he went fucking 9 and 20 on this map and those two kills were
We're so important.
Erdion up Brazil. Oh yeah, Chilean, sorry.
Oops.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
are refusing to be left behind are the games was that earlier we got some
wins became a jello to play in the league but beyond that playing on the leg
academy together going through that system to cuisine comes up through the crew
academy and all of those guys born within 370 days of each other and they
are changing the community of VCT americas changing the complexion of
Valorant globally they are ushering in a new era of South American Valorant that everyone around the world has to contend with
NRG are confronting that head-on they bested leviton in sorry. I don't mean to but
they who is
Determined to eclipse the success of his teammates from that levitatomy of Neon and blows is taking them to map three
Lotus after an astonishing comeback on a starting aside find me one person who expected loud to win energy
You can't do it an energy now. I tried to stand and slow down the wheel of time
Otherwise this next generation threatens to overwhelm them and book their tickets up all out
For what out it would no longer be somewhere they return to as an organization to rewrite history
It will be with this team this roster goes to create it to write the new chapter themselves
But this is a top tier map from energy if you like
Broke and scuba holding down the seaside Odin cringe great defense. You would love energy on this map. That's annoying
How did that pin you to the controller what the fuck the jet experience is over
They're making way in towards this base.
Holy fuck, they've walked into A.
Pure contact.
Kiko gonna be dug out of this position, then Luke shows you the body.
The trade, though. Big trade.
I'm about to take you to Dool here.
At long range, tapped up heavily by Dhaka, who's tying up by Rubble.
Thank you, Mara.
I'm trying to position themselves around that one way in.
You and me both.
Have these stairs from energy?
Eon has all of heaven.
So these are our focused on stairs.
Paranoia is huge.
That is disgusting.
What a post-blast. I mean, what a call to just walk in there. What's that woman's pink?
That woman could have easily been TP'd into the bomb site.
Seats thing to the prime.
The best game of his PCT career so far, he's been grinding it out in Challengers Tier 2 for years
before coming over towards this loud team.
CGME Sports, on a hot minute.
On account of his ex-Sime Bati coaching with Loud, brings him on over and...
Portuguese Connection, it's just like the Spice trade mate.
He's been a great import player.
Push up here from NRG though, on this rubble fight, there probably won't be much to be had.
Good show takes a shot and would fall off if he wasn't out of his mind why not one more
And this is such a good read of energy's
Disinterest in making any investment in round two no I'm aboard out no half armor no nonsense
All one shots to the Marshall lands to the slaughter
Even all next round
Lotus can become an IGL's playground kind of map.
That's why we thought G2 would be so good on it.
That's why we expected them to carry that brand of dominance and to loud absolutely blew them to smithereens.
13 to 1.
They have displayed a very high level here, but so have NRG.
The last time they played this map was against EG.
They won.
They hear him, no?
one here in the top of NRG's pool oh there it is the guide I used to move
show what's on the show bro come on really why why was he broke you were
standing in front of your teammates you have the zoom stick you have the
Sniffer
Ridiculous!
Ridiculous shirt!
D.H.A.V.E
Oh, okay. Well, he's got a better one this time.
Yeah, by the way, just gets us all now.
Bonus round off coming through.
Very cool.
No worries.
Oh, yeah, Adam's already ready for it.
Oh my God!
It's a lot of it go on today and also just jumps up and gets the pick it feels like it's already beginning to spin out of control
That's threatening to make a mockery of this game. Why it can Brock lock this down
Just a little bit of presence from loud show and immediately thorns Molly
energy are feeling the heat
That you till just comes down in an instant minute 10 still on the way he gets another kill enough time to let Luke show
Work for another pick
Porn lines are broken
dama was first time on the swing at it
. Scuba pick up a left off. The job of scuba is tough
as it's like up in your friend by Luke Shoe has read it well
you can't be given them back to back aces on round three
you know surely what it did not
now it'll be good for the hype package the next time we intro loud and your screaming over
He's smoking dude, he can smoke and plant easily.
Oh my god.
Holy shit.
This guy is on point. He's on fire. His gun should be on flames right now.
He kills the guy satcheling in, bro. He wasn't even looking there.
Bit of a loss. Yeah, I ended on a downturn for loud, but yeah, he tagged the last guy
They are up 3-0 they did just convert the bonus the last time they played this map they won 13-1
Against G2 and they've already forced bonkar into the timeout bonkar's first time out on a bis was in round 22
round 22
He very quickly is reaching for the big red button cuz he feels what we all feel but this I mean
Yeah, it's a heat check.
This guy's going for it. More aggro picks. You gotta stop him.
I mean, NRG knew exactly what he was trying to do that round.
They had the re-guys trained on that.
But the problem is, they weren't like beside each other.
They were like sys-faced out, and then Ethan just got obliterated.
Ethan's entire PCDCs from that shit.
someone that the Latin scene is wanted to see in like crew for instance just in VCT for a long time it is
just a completely new crop of players D6 and in one round three below out game against Furia
feels like they have all the wind in their sails after map one it's like well I guess they ran into
the perfect NRG that despite being an uncomfortable meta are five and no one can stop them they
They got to do everything. They used so much Util there.
Worth it though.
Immediately rotate back to save to good gamble.
Good gamble.
Scuba, Molly's, the two guys that run and die.
5v3, they're forced to go B, it's a 5v3 post-plant.
Walking in.
Disgusting.
They walked in through water.
They didn't exit, they just walked in.
goes right through it we have seen on his attack sides that he displays the ability to
call the right why is no one jiggling pillar i guess because they didn't want to show an agent
that isn't supposed to be there so adam didn't want to jiggle he'd rather stay off angled there
i is my guess i mean it could have just been viper there instead but then he doesn't get to
Molly instantly when they do execs so then that's why I don't know
Four and oh on attack for loud energy onto the full bite it want to fight towards a
Oh, they're gonna have Brock ready there with his setup, but the Odin to span through the door
model it up
Sears bad taking contact here might have falls back off this now. It's finally an entry that goes in favor of energy
Adam has to
I'm gonna challenge this guy to an up battle.
Adam's reposition, bro.
Bang, baby.
What's a reposition?
Okay, NRG's woken up.
All done.
Just throw in the paint shell with the prowler, back towards rubble, exposes air day.
All done.
So heads up from Modus Rebel to get back on that angle expecting that a lurker, Lucio,
he's gonna try to make a play elsewhere and just catches them straight away.
Finally, that level of clinicality, we've come to a shit-off from NRG.
It doesn't get any cleaner than that.
And that's how you stop a run away freight train.
So, might be very important against these contacts.
Push, makes a correct rotate earlier than that.
Push shot.
Have the defense side up.
Might be what they need in terms of stocking power.
Scuba is seriously on point today.
There were some people who definitely had questions about his performance earlier in
year around kickoff Santiago time but NRG scurvy sure time he is seriously
informed this is one of the maps that I definitely hold in high regard as to
being at the top of his I mean Luke show can't drive you anymore there's an
option to deal with Viper play and then in tandem good counter for energy vice
play you can't get that extra line in in that extra info for a scene when it
felt for them or scale up a for that matter every single time for map that's
Louder force to default up C
All five C I mean there's just a C exec can't do anything else
Oh boy
This would crack loud off very early on as Paranoia catches on the 2nd, and that's Kiko takes responsibility and converts him into elimination.
Well played. I mean, round's already over.
I mean, you're making no pressure at A whatsoever. You get TP away or whatever, and then what?
That Paranoia setup still just with the Molly into the Steel Garden. They know exactly what was headed their way.
I would understand this kind of strut if you have like multiple really strong alts to take the site
But you're going in with no alts. What do you think is gonna happen here against a vise woman?
Even if it's vise viper
forced to save and the momentum
Firmly halted by the energy concrete wall defense that they will so often set up on this seaside
Yeah, no B pressure
Not that it would matter B pressure doesn't really do much for rotations, but like
No, no a pressure whatsoever not even like
Not even like I don't know like if there was smoke to see if they showed that you may have crossed anything
His energy on the seaside
This is as free as against they basically gave a free round energy while scuba and brook are playing well having a good day that
Rams up the complex even further
Got all the tools online operator Odin ultimates
Okay, CD fault again.
Now Luxio is going to try to be more aggressive or just stay on this line forever.
That is bold.
He is just walking out in the open, of course does have the teleport, but playing around
the drop of the other teams like the wall is a dangerous game
interesting vice wall it's good info normally that's back over the woods will
be this is what you call us gaming space this is better to reestablish oh we
You can clear C though, or sorry, keep it clear C.
Big fight.
Mass kill.
Big tether.
Now they're forced to go back and right it out of him.
He lags in.
Just a ledge.
Beautifully played.
The NRG's rotates are perfect.
they haven't used them they've been stripped off them and yes that's a
correct in the open for all thank you when you're on those loud player point of
use you can just see how impossible does to play against energy when they had
everything operational no matter where you go they have adjusted this setup to
deal with you go into a Brock is ready there with the Odin you try to
pivot over towards B while Ethan is already taking control of the
I mean, that can obviously still recover and get like seven rounds of sap potentially if they go in and run again
Crossfire set up from B spawnside and B main
Hell no, so you go back to A, they've got the AWP, they've got like the
My guess is 6-6 off
There's no where you can go and feel safe, NRG are just happy to push and pull you around and send you into stacked sites
or sites with ultimates, a site with an AWP
It doesn't matter. And this is why they are so good on the map.
When did you get a car?
Well, it's not here yet, but...
This last map, while also being of course a decided between NRG and Loud,
answering his questions about succession, about the next generation of America's talent,
is also an incredible showcase, potentially of coaching.
Bonkar's timeout stops the bleed for NRG, allows them to slow the game down,
build a staging ground, and now they're one round away.
Yeah
Sorry to intercede
Plot some ideas in the heads of loud
It's at the end of the biz I believe when that loud run started
There was a Romanilly timeout and there was an adjustment from louder
They were able to finally stop NRG on one of those a executes for the very last horse where they had just been
Running the loud defense over
All right, see the adjustment here as well. Okay, they have vibrant going with chamber here
So in case chamber TP's away, Viper still keeps the space, I assume, as the play.
But if these guys A-fight, and Omen takes Rubble, then that's gone.
And Loud end up in the same trap of holding C, but them only having C, and having them run into a Vyze and a Viper.
Okay, they got the space.
And then are you not often concerned with
Controlling all the way towards mound as Luke show goes down because if you go in to see
Enjoy Brock and scuba there
That was equal parts breathtaking and deflating
Just those aren't Antonin's but it feels like you show is really overextending on the side to get something going
Trying to do a to be they're gonna fake a though. They got a fake a little bit
speed versus the anaconda of energy you are just other driving us in a long game
oh they made it out
are you retaking the ults no ults to retake the open site a spike plant which feels like a
rarity as of late a five on four we're going to need to or down five space somewhere find an
advantage could be off this drop no so where not gonna happen it's just too aware it's gonna
happen
Presently that they're caught energy so fucking aware eventually falls, but he has left more than a mark
It is a seething star the height of loud and I'm just saying brother has been lightly
Has no business being here whatsoever. It's an even game a
scuba gets the diffuse
four and four after eight
Lotus much like a cent just one of those maps that allows brought a recovery to what a recovery
Luke's show is way out there.
Yeah, it's very nice.
Dry Peaks from Luke's show with the R have not been working out.
Mata is in control of the game.
But how are L out supposed to fly it off and the head of the sides?
How are they supposed to push off them and get set up?
Going B seems like a disastrous idea against the Odin.
Oh, it's just a full A exec.
Everybody go back to getting this freeze C mound controller.
C, sorry.
Full C exec.
Scuba knew that it would stick that.
I do succeed at getting some of this U2 out,
pick going down from Scuba, but it offers a moment
for Tickazine to get forward, and I fall
versus Scuba further away.
So the C site is taken to the skies,
dropping multiple locations, and it's
going to be done for loud.
But I'm broken, I can't.
Up and Odin.
That has been the story for NRT so far.
It is raw stopping power against this reckless pace from loud
Now they're gonna have to try and walk out and get this plan
I don't know if he smoked off the line has to speculate with a shot through that smoke
There's gonna be spam up plenty
Okay, now out in the open. No free kills. This is painful. This is so difficult for him
Darker as well decayed out here with the blind just chaos. They can't do anything so plenty of time
but
Odey and Davy decay down
Dangerous now is eventually that Odin will see them
There is no safe position
It just doesn't exist
Any corner you might peek you are about to get
Spanned down by Brock
Double swing, not bad, that's what we felt
Fuckin' matters
Wow, still doesn't matter
If Odey was full I will help maybe
He ulted
here comes a vipers pit. Darker gets the one down, but he can still plant. That was a satchel now used, but Odey can still plant. There's gonna be pressure as Darker will be the one to hold the door against this tide of interlopers.
Wow, they got bomb down. Still within this vipers pit, Darker can use his ultimate to great effect here. Up on the box, Odey was at 7 and now he's down. And Darker at 8. Nice try, brother.
Reaches for the sidearm, but Kiko outlasts him
Wow, and then RG refused to be stopped on this streak of one rounds
That is five in a row genuinely what a try and press that in a situation that looked
Impossible to navigate at darker. Are they able to put the pieces together to bring it back to a one-on-one?
They set up that double peak first to deal with Brock
And then are somehow able to play around the pit on site they're getting pushed the satchel stops the plant so many great
Micro-decisions that allow them to bring it that close. I mean that feels like evidence that they are still absolutely
Dialed into the max, but they are running into this energy brick wall defense about where they just
Excel where their style of play takes over and who chose a tax side op hasn't been able to get value
That's what I was to deal with.
What do you think, here with Padel?
They can't do that.
Can't do it.
I mean, they're just running into a brick wall every time they hit C.
Even the lurkers can't get activated because the lurks are so obvious.
Triple high low.
I mean, the lurker can do something, but...
Docker in a 1vx, we saw him fight 4.
He can cloud the cross.
Look at the clock though, 22 seconds left to get back around the site before this drops.
We need to find a time to get the plant down.
They're not giving him an inch.
12 seconds now.
Orserotate back site taps.
He wants to bait someone and wants to find out where he's killing.
He does it.
He's gonna take the fight!
He's gonna go for it all of a sudden!
That's heartbreaking.
That's heartbreaking.
breaking another successful clutch four kills for him and energy since bonka's
timeout have posted six straights round wins a tragedy that darker loses back
to back 1v1s out of the stage he was leading the league in 1v1 clutch
wins but he's putting such difficult situations to lose them out already
Unlucky brother
Six in a row from NRG. I mean what can what can loud even do
Their be lurks are obvious as shit
Even if they're not even if they'd late lurk be able to deal with two fade prowlers potentially
I think if you're allowed you need to win this a fight
But the thing is, you all start to bait out you to let C.
Maybe fake an A hit with a triple C walk, because they're never really like fighting
mount, but then there could be an op there, so you have to take C first.
Take C really quickly, have a guy inserted there, go back A, take a full A control, open
door and then walk away and re-hit C.
D.A.V.I. has shown the potential like in the game yesterday.
Sure, bundle.
Holy fuck.
Thank you for the 100 gifted, brother.
Wait, I owe you guys 100 gifted, too.
I said after this game.
This guy has to get in first against this NRG defense.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
D.A.V.I. got 200 gifted.
Shot.
And there it is again.
Thanks so much.
Tickets in, shut down, call to the door by scuba and eject it.
Poisoned off.
Thank you.
Crosshair break potential of the slide.
Lost it and for what?
There's basically no utility expended from NRG.
Wall still up.
I don't like you though.
Where's my gift in?
Every defensive tool available.
NRG, yeah, let's just shift back into our Paranoia main setup.
up scuba jiggling with the Molly Brock has everything here's the AWP where do you go
running I mean what an angle does not have the utility this is like the most
annoying angle because you walk up a as your team is faking see thinking like
okay you can walk in and then he just shoots you here while your team is half
halfway up a already with the Humble Giant
there's a B hit on the way we know how hard it can be to hold this side against
the Odin rock might play ahead of this though now
ha balls come out it's gonna slow things up even the C's yes
it is going to get into the side way is the trades are good
end up being a two for two ultimately favoring NRG but now
Now can we eat its mother though? Who's patience is that of a donkey with a concrete behind?
So we dummy now has to try and tempt fight around that corner and super
Trying to find solutions
Loudest trying to locate gaps in the defense where they don't exist where can they turn?
It's brutal to lose take his aim straight away. Whatever plans you have for that attack side
out the way get about it forget about it done five seconds into the round especially
if you're hoping to have the pike's he gets ahead of this vice it's not gonna
happen maybe if Darfur gets that catch on bottom maybe but you are going up
to good brother who in this energy is too good displaying some acute awareness he
only has six kills on the board but you can feel the impact of his off so
heavily and the kills that he's getting at the time he has gotten them
have always been high impact the impact description is so outsize compared to the
actual number on the board and that is too much a meal thank you the gift is
here one thank you thank you thank you and John Jackson think it was a positive
result thank you man I'm sorry there's matter a two for one special thank you
thank you thank you man that feels like it shows the door on loud and
To shut the guillotine on their necks Adams had such an insane day
This round last round, but the climb is steep the job is tough
But he's got some pace can he break this crazy?
Absolutely nasty
He's gonna sit and wait for another one to step up.
Ethan finds the fifth,
and that's a flawless round to cap off the half.
And RG.
He's insane.
Return with their trademark brand of inevitability.
With an insane eight round streak.
One time I'll call from Bonkar,
and he got to kick his feet back and relax.
Up front, he'll walk right to my crosshair there.
Correct.
And he just knew.
the mod off took over some of my production actually that vice vice state
brother and brock are just so effective at locking it down the sites we saw
allowed dig deep on a base it feels like they need to dig even deeper to come
back on load is a map that has been at the top of that's an alpha shirt right
there though the luke show started 11 or 10 and one 11 and one and then I
said okay let's play and just fucking shit on him for eight rounds straight
yeah once he started hopping to
glaze more I mean that's that's glaze worthy material what are you talking
about. The guy starts off on that much of a streak and aces into a 4k wins bonus for
his team. They're up 4-0 max pressure and then you do that. That is glaze worthy if
I've ever seen it.
To be fair they had nothing to clear off angles. It's completely incorrect if they
They fight for A, they Viper wall up, they get close with the Fade prowler and then just
prowl they would clear him.
What are we talking about?
What an absurd excuse.
On the other side of this tumultuous map, NRG are eyeing off not only a spot in our America's
finals in Sao Paulo but an immediate entrance into champions a win here qualifies them for
the biggest event of the year a chance to renew their claim yeah they could have Viper
wall they could have smoked deep after the Viper wall goes down gotten close to the smoke
prowler through the smoke and immediately they know if the op is there or not so that
they have hard and that they have what it takes is in pressure enough they were obsessed
They were obsessed with you which gave Adam a free a-line
I mean lads Rita was good
They just Pete's
They know the last guys to
but you couldn't close it out.
Must win round for loud.
I mean, yeah, it is a must win round.
It's game over if it's not a one round.
Back towards street double, post it up.
How does he beat a double face with a ghost?
He can, Molly, in front of them?
There's gonna have to be an insane aim transfer.
He has to be concerned about
so many potential locations on site.
I mean, yeah, there are other double drop
or double door.
Crossfire, someone had dropped,
he needs to clear that.
He knows where they are now.
a time ticking a tap maybe if there's bad space in you for energy he can punish it
inches up and there's Ethan the second pistol round of Lotus one big energy
four rounds away from the dump
this exchange early on that finds the round Brock with the sheriff
one of the best pistol round players in the world comes up for NRG so close to
closing out this game now loud forced onto the eco surely energy co-opted and
you have to say the best player I mean it's pistol so yes it's
supposed to be but he's the one of the best players in the world I tell the lie obviously that was
loud he win the first half pistol but can't confirm it into anything more
than that first four rounds and then it's been all right Niju even if they
door it's fine.
A lot are always ready with a stack of players like this.
Good try from Lado though, I mean they had a good start to the game.
Energy just too good.
We're in vacation this time.
Tough to get on the territory and now we are going around the world.
Are you serious?
Flip the map on loud and make them feel and look.
Are we serious?
Imagine being here and you get flanked seed and then they plant the bomb.
We're entrenched on the seaside.
Except, do they know?
There are no anchors.
We are playing at June and now I'm with my someone might call a show in a bound to be seen a piston. Yep. Oh
Yo
Ruthful and show that is fucked. He's greeted with a cacophony killed feed
And all there is to do is go to face the music the stream sleeping likely meet his matter and make it
They're all as obvious stream snipes. What is this? They're not even trying to hide it.
We were expecting that's an immediate you put a three minute delay on that show aces.
Since then, he hasn't been able to make a serious mark on the game.
He has just the right amount of bullets for a while.
That is the first time I've ever seen that by the way.
I have never seen a seam mound hold get flanked by an entire team before in my life.
I'm gonna ever in any scenario ever read him with the fire and squad
And we set it towards the top of a cent getting into this game that Luke show in this second stage. He is absolutely
Making a case as being the best America's player of stage two
With the likes someone in chat literally typed
When when energy won their first round somebody in chat type alright 13 for yo if it's actually 13 for your fucking genius
determined by what loud can accomplish in the playoffs.
Lamps to the slaughter.
Ridiculous little round.
But this is where you need Luke Show to get
into absolute elite form.
Round 15 is a dire picture for Loud.
We're gonna try and fight more aggressively
on this A side of the map though.
Kiko with a paranoia room to go doesn't hit anyone as far as I can tell all that a group up here
They're in the right place now. I can already taken something
loud never took door to treat getting at the site the paranoia is
He's on fire
Paranoia is bang on and after a look show with these rifles have to do something special
All the spam is good at least I use the noise for this swing from Brock as a beat on it
He's in CSIMS!
Can't connect one versus three for Luke's show.
Why is it always me?
That's the question.
Back to the pistol round, man.
Just multiple players stacked up in tree,
has to clear drop.
In 12 rounds, not once did Loud go into the room.
The only one who can, man.
Not one time.
Two in three, footsteps heard.
Scuba confirms Luke's position with that shoulder peek
and now we are simply playing a waiting game.
Luke's show though.
Not interested!
Moe's down Kiko, gonna be here, Broc trying to go for the spam and it gets him!
Another heartbreaker for Loud who still can't get off those four rounds at the start of the map.
I'm saying again, there is levels to this. They might have turned G2 inside out on this map,
make them look like a pinata, but this is NRG. One time out into 13 rounds in a row is crazy.
I thought you were gonna get a translation on it.
Leave that for me.
Jokes are starting in the front.
Door again.
Oh.
Shut down.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
I thought he got two.
to getting the A.
Ena 3 vs 3. Best try possible.
He's going to get Max info off of this and they just stay having.
This 7 kills is everything.
That's how they're going to win. That's how they're going to come back.
Oh, two people shot it.
That's the 3 newest players to loud.
The players that transfer this team is taking the next time.
Take your time, dude.
Keep them in the game in this 3 vs 3.
The nightfall connection might be too much to overcome.
Overcome the clock is draining low. Oh my god, and they haven't even made inroads onto the site
Bobby just caught on his own ticket team was decayed down, but he's ready to fight again
There's Kiko stopping power and it's good time the clutch master 82% KASP
That's a bump
In an idea one microwave the actual statement game
Loud made it seem like Abyss was going to completely turn the tides of the series, running
it back at the end of that map and then starting this one, pistol round, bonus round conversion
and since then it has just been all NRG, 12 rounds in a row.
champion pedigree like you said there are levels to this loud have shown the
promise but energy had the experience pedigree now it's a matter of finding the
place the land is playing is it on round 17 still garden for Brawk they
think they're unaware look sure with that tour de force being reached for
their final gambit for loud nice on their star player and he delivers in a
port no peter
I'd love to get close to that orbit's baiting out some aggression from loud
I'm gonna punish you HP. Dobby Tux back behind the wall gets into site
Brock having tree here he could win the round by himself if they fake it be
if they fake breakable or they're faking C
I think he was gonna fake with Vizalt by himself
and then they go eh, or C sorry
good reposition here from Lucio
Adam is his father
NRG truck into the seaside.
On top of everything that has given this showstopper to Mada pushed up forward.
He should be allowed to get back.
He gets two.
The Guardian least achieved that player parity again.
He gets two and Brock walked into A because of it.
It has to be fast for NRG.
They got embarrassed, they actually got embarrassed.
The Loud are going as fast as possible to see as the Overdrive gets put in.
No, that's dirty.
And so we're in a post plot.
All of loud grouped up back to back. They got embarrassed
Putting their faith in one another, but the steel garden is gonna strip their weaponry
Or threatened to do so take his in gets on out, but this space has been given up and here comes scuba
Fast push now overdrive active and there's Brock falling didn't clear is the wild card here darker
Gonna check from the others weapon out scuba's gonna be given a state of execution a chance to fight
It's on Ethan fearlessly the cut get on the spike allowed
find themselves a lifeline they actually did it relief of finally putting one on
the board but NRG check by darker find him round seven chances not I'm actually
winning this out basically winning this round first team that's crazy Wow they
have made so many teams in the last year a victim of ridiculous comebacks a
hallmark of their run to the 2025 champions win. I don't think it's likely that they're
going to allow anyone do that to them, not in this form, not the way that they're playing Val-
Why is this pause?
Because last time out started a 12 round winning streak for NRG that is only just
your pause. There's something about it, there's an ethereal quality to it
What do you mean by that?
Look, what do you mean by that?
Look, what do you mean by that?
He's asking, oh, he's getting the dinner order?
No, no, no, no, no, no, because they're qualifying for chance off this, right?
So they're going to Nobu.
There's no dinner orders here.
This is minimum, at least Nobu.
On energy, the work.
This is his third playoffs match ever in VCT, which feels crazy to think about.
But that is where they find themselves.
against one of the best america's teams they pause for they pause for loud door
to the McDonald's loud wanted to know what this is actually fairs if they lose
this round there'll be a bird on the windshield of it here's what show where
there is a deeper over the side is how to get out but can he fight his way for
are you joking no I don't win this round don't don't you fucking dare win
this round crawling over the seaside I have been so quick to collapse onto
Luke show he's not been able to get more than this the one in the last
That's a couple rounds through the fight gets the dink, but it's on another match.
Oh, hell no.
Brazel.
Mada gonna play up against this as well.
Oh no!
And it moved down 19 days.
One playoff series and not a single...
You guys understand, he didn't even call the pause for that round, right?
He's like, let's get this round over with.
Next round I want you guys to do this.
Booking their ticket to South Polo and importantly,
creating a spot for themselves at champions allowed absolutely tested them in that series
the comeback on abyss wanting nrgs backs against the wall but when it comes to
i mean that they have thrived into this world just in exception loud just did not have it in
them to overcome nrg today we respected them for that performance taking the map off them in
In that fashion, it does prove that loud or serious play, but further than that, it is
a testament to the greatness of this NRG team, so flawless in this second game.
I'm glad we got three maps though.
That series?
Three maps?
Loud respect.
The first game in the playoffs and immediately lock off dual spots.
We're here in the Heralds calling for a new era of Valorant driven by the South
American Taliban.
NRG have said not today.
You guys want to check the shop together? Of course we're fucking checking that shit together. Let's go ahead and check this out real quick
Wait
I had these two last time. Is this my new shop?
Oh, yeah, no, it's not even new. It's a wait. It's right here
and see that
about
is today the day is today the day we get the fucking gun we deserve
it's just so stupid. It's actually just stupid. I don't even know. I'm like looking forward
to it. It's never going to happen, bro. It's never going to happen. I'm glad it's become
a bit in our chat though. To always look at the shop. I feel like all of you are also
looking at your shops for the helix. We all fuck with the helix so heavy.
If you have it, if you don't, if you have it in your store, you should get it. It's
worth, it's fucking worth it. That is one skin that is worth it. What the fuck even
is this dude? This looks like a fucking battle pass skin. Why are they giving me a battle
pass skin? This guy said that's my skin Ragey. I don't even know what this does. What is
this fuck off yeah fuck off they just fuck off this is get me out of here yeah I'm over
it and if you're now on that Phoenix what is that giving you the most agency do you
feel like that's the most comfortable right now I mean I'm trying to be like the Swiss
JJ uses that knife?
Malleable.
Okay.
Plum's are malleable.
Absolutely congratulations here once again bro
Once again and they could go honestly deserved as as they should to be honest as they fucking should
All right, so we got Lev we got energy
Who would you guys want the last two slots to be realistically to make the tournament as
as fun slash competitive as possible hundred thieves huh hundred thieves that
might be our yeah nobody wants you to I already know I figured it would be
hundred thieves in my beer
EG Furia Wait, so chat, if G2 lose this, what needs
to happen next?
No, I'm not about not with them. I'm saying like, how far ahead are they of MIBR in 100
And points
Like too far ahead
So I mean it's already over G2 is already locked on G2 could lose here and it just doesn't matter at all
Because MIBR is already gonna lose the EGI let's wrap it up MIBR is not going to be real
If you say something, and it's actually there, you're gonna miss your shot.
Rock, equalizer, and vibrance. I can react quicker to it. I can just...
Okay, so we got...
NRG's Qualified Guaranteed.
Lev basically guaranteed you two's basically guaranteed.
Yeah, I mean, it's just 100 thieves around my VR, right?
Fury is not doing it.
Let's be real.
Loud potential, for sure.
What's Loud's bracket looking like?
I mean, all these teams are going to lose to EG.
So where's EG at?
Wait, EG is just going to ruin teams' lives and still not make it.
They're just there to be shit, like the shit distribvers.
This is being annoying.
I mean, realistically, the best is Lev, 100 Thieves, MIBR Energy.
In terms of variety plus competitiveness, but MIBR really don't...
They haven't shown they're at a level where they belong at champs, if we're being completely
real. There's not been enough significant improvement in their play to warrant a champ's spot.
Thank you for just being objective. As much as I would like to see those players at champs,
there's just not been enough progress, I think.
So we need 100 thieves to lock in. We need 100 thieves to lock in here. We need 100 thieves to
to be left. Like, badly.
You're so fake to EG. Bro, I'm fucking realistic. Look at our points, you dumb fuck!
Two! Two total points!
Two, dude! Two! Two! Two points!
What are we gonna do? We're just here to fuck around!
We're just here to ruin people's day.
That's it.
Like here, MIBR, okay, see you later.
Loud, see you later.
We're just here to ruin their careers.
That's it.
No top two and points don't matter.
Do you understand what top two entails?
They have to beat a very good loud at the moment.
They have to beat MIBR before that.
And then if they somehow make it past that fucking avalanche, they have to who?
Who was left here?
Fucking one of these guys?
NRG or Lev?
Like, what are we talking about right now?
Oh
Wait, oh, yeah, okay either way it's hard as fuck
It's like literally impossible if EG did this if EG made this run I
I would do something. I don't know what yet. I would do something.
I'd go bold. I'd go bold if EG make this run. I will go bold happily.
If EG make this fucking run right here, if they make it to champs from right here with two points,
I deserve to be bald and my hair ain't growing back either.
I'm just bald forever.
It is not happening. If this happens, that's insane.
I mean, I think they can beat a weaker MIBR, which is like they seem a little shaky right now.
I think this will be really hard, and then this is basically impossible.
That's something new as well. They added a Yoruo into the mix. What did we think of that?
I thought it was super cool to see the look of Leviathan with the Yoruo, because if you
looked at how they played their attack side, everybody talks about the gate crash with
the five seconds allowing for you to rotate a little bit more, but they're actually playing
Look at this guy. I don't believe you after today. Shave half of it now. Shave the other half after EG win.
So what if EG lose? I just have half of shaved head, you dumb fuck. That's your logic?
So I think it's a different look in terms of how you want to add the aggression and pressure on your side execs,
but still it's that TP that just catches a lot of players off guard.
Yeah, being able to go for those retakes and for D'Sato, what he was doing with the Phoenix when it came down to the retakes
to the retakes is using that utility for that for a little bit more delay to make sure that the
team is going to be ready for the spice but for the york he's going to be ready for that fight
itself so i think that is going to be the biggest difference if we're going we've had enough of you
bailing and flaking you're right you're right i fucked up i fucked up i literally promised you
guys something and i didn't follow through so i paid the hundred gifted i paid the price
from now on i will not promise that i'll watch emea games because i now know in my head that
that I don't give a fuck about this region.
Except Dirkah.
Pistale from Leviathan though, because if you look at how they exit,
it was a lot of big timings from Flash, it was the recon.
That takes a lot of time to master and a lot of time into the scrims
for the team for Leviathan.
I don't think 100 Thieves will have that time to do so,
and you just play to your tried and true as well.
Absolutely.
Well, we love to see the evolution of those two teams,
and of course the individual players as well.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to give you guys.
Wait, wait, oh shit.
I almost...
Oh yeah, let me see it.
My fault, my fault.
You guys can look at the skins for a second.
What the fuck is...
What a pee really bad.
What a pee so bad.
Okay, that's it. This is all I'm gifting. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for lying.
I want to enter more with confidence in the game.
And we'll definitely instill that confidence to move into stage 1.
And I want to take that example into how Leviton are so good at mastering a little bit of that chaos,
not only through the macro, but also through the macro.
No, I told him I'd gift him in the ranked game.
If we won, I think I said, then we won.
If you do well in my ranked games, you get gifted.
Simple as that.
I will gift you happily.
Just fucking speak up and play the game.
Honestly, Malb, I have to gift you two. Malb won me 7 games in a row. I have to gift Malb actually.
Malb, that's fairs. That's actually a fairs. I will gift you, Malb. You actually deserve it.
What the fuck did you just say to me?
So, we're paying for boosting?
What do you mean boosting?
play the game like a regular person and you get my vote. You get my plus rep.
I don't need you to boost. I don't give a fuck about my rank. Now here I don't care.
I'm retired. I'm done. I don't care. I just want to play a regular game with
people who are communicating. Do you think if I give a fuck if I win or lose?
In the moment maybe I do, but in the grand scheme of things I don't. I just
want to play the game and have fun.
just speak just fucking speak
that nothing is happening there King calls the pivot move towards the aming
play your scenarios in your protocols for the men advantage look at those
trains that are happening on their side
that's my W ascendant streamer um am I ascendant let's check actually make sure
I'd be right oh wait I'm fucking immortal too bitch
stupid ass dumbass
Just like that. Thank you so much for the break, Dan. I think if 100 Thieves has shown us something in their last few games, it's that they are quick to react.
Of course, there's a lot of pressure because there's a lot at stake in this very game.
Banana Young, thank you for the fight, Vincent.
Thanks.
The courage of making it back to the global stage and making it to Sao Paulo will get them literally within striking distance of chance.
Yeah. And the fun part of Lease were, these were the sounds of the case.
I still am thinking of the product.
We've been talking about having a little bit of that performance coach to be helping them out in terms of communications
Well, we've got to finish up the rest of the fanatic vlog by the way
We're back
Thank you for the time gets it thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's such a big difference
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
You guys know I think this is the most gifted I've ever got, like ever, on stream.
And like the last two months I think is the most gifted we've ever gotten.
Which is insane.
So thank you guys.
And the way that now they found themselves, they found their identity and that is the
way that they lifted that trophy in AWC.
I think this is a team that knows they can do it.
That they just did it for an offseason tournament, but they still have the pressure for the
last ever part of the year for America to make it and not only win, you know, out of
this, this, uh, VCK America's, but also win in America's and when international.
Yeah, I'm always going to think back in like 2023 when you have like a hundred
these against the chosen knife that brought EG to chance and in winning
chance, those type of things would always linger into a hundred these, at
least in my eyes when it comes down to that pressure. You're so close to
qualifying. You don't really have to point into your favor. So you kind of
have to win it all. Make it here into the top four in Sao Paulo, but
also make it into the top two and South Hollywood
to make it into champs.
And when it was so last minute, it was so closer than the making
to just slip at the last minute, if that recurs
and that returns against the matchup,
against Leviton where it's like, oh, crap.
The confidence that we brought throughout this whole stage
is now creeping back up on us
where we're not able to take advantage of our confidence
here to win these games.
I'm going to be afraid for under these.
Well, that's been looking confident all day long
as I've been sneaking around.
I've got a lot of players erupt to before their match.
And let's actually send it over to Rift and here
from Austin ahead of today's match.
I'm here with Austin ahead of their big left match today.
And I ask you, you guys are no strangers to starting here
in the upper bracket of playoffs,
but that first game seems to send you to the lower bracket.
What's different this time around?
How are you going to stop that from happening?
I don't think we've ever topped our group.
Coming in as the first seed is a big confidence boost.
And on top of that, we just came off of an international win.
So we're also feeling very confident again.
And it should be an amazing game against left.
They won Masters and we won EWC.
So it should be a grand final kind of match.
Can't wait to see it.
Awesome stuff.
Thank you, Yasmin.
You love to hear the grand finals kind of match
and our opinions are a tiny little bit split.
Then, think about yourself.
Like I said, they're coming with a lot of confidence
here for 100 Thieves after winning EWC
and also with everything that just Bang mentioned,
we have the best feelings.
The comms have been looking really good
and also the support that Austin now brings
so that Team Latino can actually get some good fries.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
The football is looking nice, so I think they're in
a good spot to also live here today.
Everyone's saying he's muted when he's muted.
I'll see if they can make it happen as we are children in my childhood.
To get on stage and present an easy prediction for you.
Is there a good EMEA against it?
I know Paper X plays.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. We're not skipping this one.
We're not skipping this one.
Guaranteed we're not skipping this one.
I
Did game Serena welcome to our second game get into Chicago so power wanted to qualify for a champion show
Hi, no, it's a good idea. You guys are really pushing this music thing up
Let me attend the masters
You just said let me attend
The first ever road trip in America's but also to make it to champs for most of these players
Why do they have like a WWE entry song?
What a triple H just walk in the fuck is going on
Short-term it is the long-term is this keeping this team that wanted trophy together so they can keep winning together
And they are taking all the right steps you do so they bring who had a guy's in your opinion
For all the old heads out there. If you watched like WWE when it was called WWF
What is your favorite entrance song?
all time
Chris Jericho is a good one
Chris shares a stone colds a fucking that's that's that's that's probably the best one. I'm gonna be honest
So cold I think I think my favorite was Shawn Michaels these right now
Or Chris VanBlaa was another good one.
And she was a good one.
And she's a really good one.
You think you know me?
That was a fucking banger song.
with that and with the edge out of favor of Vora a rookie I jail in my eyes when that came forward with TSM with
NBS as that coach it seems as though the old guard in the new guard the different aspect out
John Cena which one the first one of these two squads meshed in together quite well to define their own meta
It may look like you're copying a little bit and what left does but they found their own
Do they remember the OG John Cena one already, right how they have a very similar play style
So let's take a look at these maps. I love your time. It's done economics. Yeah
We get to see that already yesterday. This is a map that they
Floating, you know, so baby, yeah, I make my dad buy me the spinny chain by John Cena
down at Niagara Falls
Like for what
Yeah, my old alias. Number sign, number sign. John Cena 420. Number sign, number sign. Should
I go back to that alias? I need to make an ult with that alias.
So strong on the map so far. I know a hundred fees have it not numbers. I'm sorry money sign not number sign
I keep saying numbers sign and it's money sign in this summit game
It almost and that's a time
I didn't even know what 420 was of each other with what they've seen in terms of recency bias and results
I just thought it was cool cool get a cool people said it as you mentioned here Dan
Yes, to me on comes out
But what is awesome are gonna play because if he's been spamming Phoenix the whole time
I haven't seen a Phoenix yet on this map of Lotus. So that might have to change
That's a cheater's name. Yeah, that's actually so true. If anyone named John Cena 420 with
four fucking money signed is killing me, I'm immediately reporting. That's an insta-report.
And then the guy I played with, his name was EZE.
Yeah, he's a fan.
Good times, bro.
Fuck.
Good fucking times.
Ric Flair one I thought it was kind of it.
I was really a fan of Ric Flair.
And my favorite WWE event I ever watched was
the Royal Rumble I think in 2008
when
Rain of Syria won.
Was it 2006?
It's a microcosm of their entire journey so far in partnerships because I played SmackDown vs.
Raw and I would always play Remisteria cryo bang ass in it. I know y'all remember that game through thick on the ps2
teams team and
They've had that peek at Shanghai 2024
It would be poetry wouldn't it that's a smart cheeky one
That's the trademark and of course, bro. These guys are already way ahead of their team
Yes, do the left way cry I might be aware though. Yeah, he's aware. There's nothing else to look at around body potentially exposed to it
Trouble is it's gonna be pushing him. Oh my god. You just got out of it. No, right now. I've overwhelmed
It's the vietan happy to jump on it. So I'm blood in the water
I'm done just yet. What a kill though. Big kill to get most of it
Slipers of angles to work around here time still being bled off the clock paranoia sweeps shots ringing out
It's neon is finding it and to maintain a look at it just contains a good paranoia
Oh my god, too much ego. No time. I don't think they'll have time. That smoke is too
good. Well done. Round over. No way. No way they win, right? No time. That was a really
good smoke. Very good by board to get that kill. And then he wanted the left side of
the door because he knew they were going to retake from door probably use paranoia
but that border kill changed everything, stopped all the momentum of that retake
For 100 Thieves it was their perma-ban up until very recently just in this match. They leave it open
Lev have been floating it in the previous game as well. They actually end up picking it here. We haven't seen Lev play Lotus since
They were forced to play it. Yeah grand finals of London, right? Yeah, where their opponent had double map and they were you know pushed onto it
But this is the composition that you would expect them to run
This is something similar that they ran on Summit recently too, but these map holes all over the place
I mean, seeing Lev Bann split in two matches back to back when they're on a nine match win streak on split
It shows you something funky in the air Brad. They have the cleanest classics besides paper x obviously
I was talking to Lev, I was talking about the King and Sato match pointy over there
And he was telling me about the scrim quality these days. I have to wonder
It's a bit imbalanced in terms of the level of expectations and stakes on display for 100G
Oh, he uses it. It's pretty good. It's like okay. It's it's the best
you get a couple of reps and some maps that I
Not have the best quality on that's a lovely sliding glide
But he's gonna be immediately taken out from that quadruple high-low
It's incredible information for the team to try to accelerate now into a where blows will be receiving
Pocket already here
See what he can do from a spot like this
He gets one maybe
Considering that's the head cleaved off. You never know. He still has dog to delay
Ports into a corner. Oh my god. Oh my god angle does have the marshal
His players are softened up as anything
Yo love a little bit better with our bulldozer that was handed over off-loaded now
They're gonna get ego. They're actually getting you good here. Let's look at more and more likely
Circling and swirling right in their time. It's a hundred these ones left stewing and
See here hot shots ringing out a couple flashes to
to push players up and away. We've been in and out a bit of random spam. That might just
do the job. So it's not a disappointment towards the right legs, but it's only up, down into
the bitter end. Find a few moments.
Like you're joking, right?
A lifty win here for Lev.
That's a full thrifty, by the way.
That's a great time on the clock to be able to close things out. And that is a
massive thrifty for Lev to be able to put up. After they were so close to winning
the pistol in the first place, what a monstrous toss away of an opportunity though
for a hundred thieves.
Wow
Look at how efficient they are with every angle they're here
They didn't they even waited one second or two seconds after throwing that smoke so they avoid getting spammed and losing HP
Like everything they do all the little things are so correct
It is a game that matters so much for 100 thieves
In theory they can still make it to champs if they don't make it to some parlor, but
Let's be honest, you're playing to be able to make it into that top 4, to be able to fight for an American's trophy, and to be able to secure a champ's position while it's in your hands and you don't have to worry about...
Well, is this exact...
I'm just hoping 100thies make this competitive, so I don't think they're going to win.
You don't want to be looking at spreadsheets?
No.
Taking the matches when, as you said, Destiny is in your hands.
Where do your rough start though, here for 100thies?
left just feel like they are as we mentioning toying with them a little bit
when it comes to the map veto
I'll test themselves really sky-vised here but he does have thorn heavier matches
in Saupallo and beyond potentially here the thorns gonna be dead it off
crowd's made into mid-smeat stack of bodies here try to overwhelm here with
the pistols sheriff aim intact bang King just plays his life they make sure
Oh, nice shot though.
Genuinely winnable.
Timotino does have Heaven, but it depends on if he can get there.
My god.
Got bangstabbed.
Oh my god, the counter-ego.
of it but Timotino's got one of his own now and this is it is where he gets awkward
spite trying to get that extra info swinging wide trying to find the fight at 1v1
too good baby let's go Timotino let's go baby i said straight back
oh this map is gonna go back and forth exchanging the lead from one hand to another on the basis
of these 30s thank you thank you as much as i was giving 100 teams criticism for how they
What a round from Bang.
This third kill is crazy.
Yep, he has the best Phantom.
And I only say it's the best Phantom because it's the one I'm using.
Until I get the Helix.
Then that's the best Phantom.
quality within america's but also the respect they have about levier time who
it's kind of hard to argue they don't look like the look like the best team in the world
don't get described good job talk about ng because ng beat them but well done never got the master's
trophy to prove it i'll take your time take your time as long as the exec is good even if they
have three here it wouldn't matter they'd have to stop this team after big paranoia here a
a couple of bodies in the right places but these have got the util to match and TP away
spice can be brought down as a result of it much better much much better played
anti eco we're going to be able to beat this leviathan team it would be through
unconventional map picks like this lotus which is unpracticed untested
it was a loves map pick too yeah it presents an enormous opportunity for
100 thieves to get a win at the best possible time in their season to be
able to overtake somebody like that. Turned right around. So far, series. Knock on the
way we really expected. Alright, let's go. We see those gun rounds. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
went the way we did expect here. Flawless rounds of these two. And at this point, because
of how tumultuous it's been, back and forth with the rounds, the Oats are starting to
come online for the first round for that. Which is a bit of a weird thing to say,
on round five. Yeah. We're almost halfway through the first half. Okay. Yeah, both teams having
seen for a fight. Spikes and is definitely TPing. We got Sato statuling. I mean, this
could be bloody level one to take this fight. Yeah, it will be v five. Oh boy. Flash play
to begin with, but cry. They're trapping it will be punished. They want 100 these
to take this control. They want to retake it. We're gonna be a little more aggro
of this fake teleport coming out from Asuna as well. Yeah, I'm looking for players away
potentially from a force the Seekers does all three of them moving into the same direction
spell things out. Lev, they don't have to budge. King is actually still exploring and
spawn doing everything to beat this trap. Trouble is really broken to learn that these
awareness is high though. They know they like feel something's weird. They want
find I think. I've primed it ready. Spice got the paranoia. Waiting for potentially the door to open up. Wall up though.
The council to play. This is not the stale thing. No, there it is. Okay, double flash forwards.
Wow, off the door opening. They do it.
The water at spike.
In that charge force.
Bang!
It's unreal. Electric form.
And he's not stopping.
What?
Out of my mind.
The fuck?
The bees have come here to play.
He always seems to level up against these teams from Latin America or South America.
I don't know what it is, but bang, does it again, a 4k in this round and it's not just
any 4k.
This is electric stuff.
He's spinning around to recover this in a 2v5.
It's phenomenal.
Isolating Sato in the corner as well.
I mean, what a recovery that is.
Lev had it perfectly red.
Stonishing stuff when left by all rights and sealed that up
They're trapped by work perfectly. You can't ask for more than that
5v2 situation. They should be able to close it out
Except for one little die-con bang on the other side of the stage
And on Earth is gonna take a pretty early time out here to be honest there again
They've only played one rifle round. Yeah, that was it. Wow. So game planner went wrong. I mean
That's just individual brilliance from
I'm from bank. I mean London do anything wrong there. Of course they were separated
That's because they've reached up from different angles. They'll have the most alert
They'll have the most insane from bank to get all three kills there
It's crazy and then the fourth on raise pull it out new maps in their port
They played a base in the match against MIBR
They were happy to ban split float Lotus again. The third map if we thought they would have been
Would have been this that's a limit testing, right? Yeah, I find where their limits are
what they need to improve upon and they look amazing at this and although we're
saying that that was only one of a few comps that they were thinking about running
which is I think additional fuel to the idea that they are taking this playoff
stage experimentally which is an absolutely absurd thing to do yeah I
mean how many teams are in a position where they can't be at. You have two trophies that you're
gonna be potentially hunting for. They usually do this on run by rounds for love.
Shots fired forwards here, a lovely flash straight up into the sky, spike is barely eye on the tank.
They'll take that damage.
That's too good, Ivor.
Neons are threatened with bladestorm.
They're going back to the water.
Dang not risking walking out in case...
...the thieves don't like the smell of the stack on the sea.
In case Hot Toad or someone's holding an angle, he just dies for free.
They lose that space.
He's got that full armor as well.
I'm really retaking C though.
Celebrity don't know if these others still at C or not, or if they've inserted a guy
or not.
Oh god, this is dangerous though.
Neon with knives.
Ice, yes, they have a primate.
Okay, I was going to say how is he not dead.
What the fuck, not again. Not again. All three are in door chat. Oh, big ult though.
Okay, this ult should secure it. It's pretty hard. No real utility to stop this.
See what the next level of things is is better spam going that way the shorty
Assena see you put them into a blender
What's the shots by king the time is ticking gonna be get the upgrade now any well done?
I think he's realized it as long as around security doesn't matter how many people die of damage done
They have plenty of their economy is good around a crude up here for 100 thieves
Nevertheless, good job using the alt there definitely some danger to they had to use it gonna be expensive like you say
But I think 100 thieves will just be happy that they put a fifth on the board five one up here against left
On Lev's map pick
However much that necessarily means in this map walk we'll see
But that was level the thrift
Now let's get rifles back and up back in the hands of neon
Looking to open the door over towards tree. I'm just the ins of the auto one and six
They're going back to a lot. I know what vorus plan is in this round
Okay, vice-humans see
Cryo's been using the outlaw the tour de force and now he gets an operator back as well
Well, there's a list out there with the white.
The list of 100 thieves got a lot to deal with here.
Mm.
No one to ride.
Don't see anything in.
Everybody see, could be out.
Output that, output that.
Guys, you ought to pick.
Take seed.
Take seed right now.
Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Take first smokes.
Wow, the damage.
Blinded.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm burning front end.
Wait, I'm burning front end.
You're still on site.
I'm going to first smoke.
Holy f**k.
I have water.
Tighten.
I have smoke.
I have smoke.
I have smoke.
I have smoke.
Wow how was that seat hit so clean
Oh because they spammed this guy and then they just popped on advice
commit to a fight whatever they won the round
cares yeah it was a little bit chaotic when they were actually hitting the site
but they're very forward thinking about a lot of stuff and you hear them simplify some of the
communication by using these like so you do guess that jargon basically wow really risky spot to
play when you're you have an op on the other side of the map show stuff on the inside if
saddo comes we need a plan for that so cryo is going to get posted on a deep angle they're
asking him to do this it's not just cryo setting up let's see this what a start for a hundred
definitely do come down five rounds
slow play here preemptive now but that's gonna be the showstopper offloaded cryo
to the dangerous fighting dangerous position over staying in the base at the
shot anyway
oh shit what a point to make and what a point of these put on a hundred
thieves and ace tonight but the damage is done
No, no, no, no, no check check and check check check and check him for drugs. No fucking way. No way
You just pull that off
No, there's no way there's no way this kid is clean. He's doping. He's doping. He has to be what is that?
Oh my God, man.
You guys understand, Cryo did so well there to make him ult the body he tp'd in, made
Sato commit towards him, and they still got destroyed.
What the fuck is that?
moments notice
the side of blows and get your chance and he does the 140 minute
oh shit
he snaps back onto that line
with one HP he got that kill
he doesn't stop there spike
oh goodness me
another moment of individual brilliance
what am I watching how
how does he do this
scuttling in the sand takes his time if it lines up the shot
spike the difference maker
drop down in his lap two
bang he's got a lot to do
just heroics dude. Nah, he wouldn't take two 1v1s here. No way, right? I think
they're going to bench again, Bolia. He knows he needs to get one and make it a 1v1
before this bomb even gets tapped because they have a smoke to defuse and he's chosen
wrong and T.
Unless? Unless?
Yo, this guy is unreal right now.
This guy is unreal.
He's unbelievable. He's got 11 kills in nine rounds. Wow, Spyton.
From some of those has been astonishing. This round should have been hundreds of years from the off.
Spike pulls out magic to even get it into a winnable 2v2, 2v1 situation.
He's actually locked in here.
He's actually locked.
They're the ones very firmly in control here. Wow
It's just preempting to play to punish there with a sliding forwards
We're trying to get to the fight big trade. They wanted to get bloody
Still in control. It's fine. Neon has all the C
DTP from us and they're getting into an unusual
Tori Shaggy has spiked. This is a high octane action now. The Seekers won't save you from this blows
It's gonna back against the wall twisting turning. There's no safety. They're gonna be fine.
Yo
He doesn't want small
Paving in the way. God damn.
Streets are looking red as anything.
It's so nice from 100 Thieves.
I've been focused very much on how this map is uncomfortable for Lev, right?
That it's a weird pick for them.
But the fact that 100 Thieves have left this map open after banning it pretty much the whole time
and it looks this nice, I'm impressed.
I mean, how's he doing this?
How's he actually doing this?
being a phoenix versus phoenix head-to-head asana sato who's going to look better on that
they're just running them down they're actually running them down it's the first time i've seen
leb get run down creative way the asana's been playing the dualist omen where he's getting deep
tps in you go up on top of the vice wall and tp deep leaves and equals better this time gets deep
into a you might actually be right nary bang yeah they want this off they want this prize
I
God he doesn't even get to save me out
I thought we were gonna see a classic ass in the jumping headshot there
Yeah, but he has to be he has to plant his feet to get the kill
I think it's still a really good
The fact that they have that within them
Because for both of these teams you would say the majority of their success has been found through running a ton of the neon Phoenix
Yeah, you know what's fucked love is gonna make with the next four rounds eight four and win pistol and all of a sudden
We're back to reality
That's what's really annoying by the agents for more the team fighting aspect cryo has to get a hell out of there
Taking a ton of damage in a process
Love it definitely squaring up. Oh, they want the fight. They do want the fight say no that they can lean into the individuals
But one of those rare instances were seeing them slapped down to earth humbled and vizel brazil. Yeah, dude
It's a four half. It's an eight four half shot. I feel it in my loins
Eight four half into a pistol round into a bonus all of a sudden it's a day for the blink of an eye
That is what we saw in our G2 a lot of
blows desperately trying to rejoin the rest of the pack here neon is fully out in the open to this angle
to team flash
Pieces go wide three bullets left. It really works. Here's the clouds already caught on that line and
posted ready to strike I mean so stop it forward it needs to be wow what is
happening out of the picture out of the air spikes in now it's under step up
time to shine need some support of you till blows trying to do the most but
still cry oh side stepping it all I thought it was about to be in one of
those heroic grounds again it's elegant as anything being put together by
100 thieves. Patience played a wild zits. 100 thieves on an absolute tear.
It is just so good to see. Lev wants to try to force these fights early on.
They've got a double duelist composition. They want to get aggro, get a rubble fight going.
Get Neon and Sato and Shizu. They can make these duels. And it's said 100 thieves are
slowing down the tempo. It's a minute into the round when this engagement happens.
When Cryo blocks Sato out of the air, like a clay pigeon, and it's just so uncomfortable to hold these A-spots
hidden around corners worried about the opportunity. They're literally all playing pretty well.
Everyone's had impact on one of these, and Lev can't do that with this guy.
Lev is getting more and more desperate. Oh, MOLLE is punished! Once more and again, clean as anything
with the movement, looking to see if you could put the hurt and the potential solo play, but it was
cover by Asuna. Both of these duelists for Lev want to take fights. And hundreds of thieves
just have to hold and stop them getting that value.
Going for the game to come to them. TP as well. Makes it awkward.
Tricky engagement. The answer is going to be brought out of 39.
Is that a shot?
A ridiculous snap. And flick of the wrist still. It is answered in kind.
So ones have to be dead in here.
Oh man.
Dash the rotation here from Lev and not a steal guy.
They can go back to B and they can cancel.
So...
What the fuck is happening right now?
Yo, like, left kit? There's no answer to this.
fucking hell straight into it 10 to 2 at the half it is unbelievable what we are
witnessing what a half this is an enormous punish but let me turn going
into Lotus going into a map that they assumed 100 thieves would be bad at the
coaching staff of 100 thieves has been immaculate all year and given them ideas
of being able to get them up to speed across the map pool
this happening in this game I'm too old for this I agree but it's everything
Lev threw at them just gets shit on it just got shit on it all started with the
bang 3k obviously 4k but like Lev didn't even have bad reads in this game they
actually got diffed they got guy-diffed Lev actually got guy-diffed
They're not trying shit though, I mean they played the map overall pretty well.
That early fight, the trap at A off of the door opening, was a fucking sensational call.
And it just doesn't work.
17-0, you guys have had two weeks to prepare for playoffs.
What has consumed most of this time?
Ooh, I mean, today we're going to play Lotus, and...
It's okay, they give the prize.
I'll notice. I can't wait to play that map.
We're very excited to show what we have on Lotus, and yeah, I mean, the rest is very standard.
That sounds like good work over the two weeks.
I don't even know. Like, I don't know what's going on. I'll take it, though.
Surely not even a hundred thieves can throw this one, right?
10-2, guys.
All on the line in a series like this and a hundred thieves are not messing around.
10-2 half of them up massively and they're playing for that chance to book a ticket to Sao Paulo
It's where the year began for a lot of these partnership teams in 2023 and not just that beyond
Even the chance to potentially go all I mean wow
It's been all around all about
Actually don't know what to say just insane impact from all five individuals
Plus good mid rounds to just wait. They just waited. They waited for love to come to them
you're able to make it Shanghai as the America's winner that time their
opportunity to lift the trophy sock fairy think of the problem could happen
again thank you thank you my broken immediately just a burst play bang is
gonna be swiftly overwhelmed unless you get some help but he's positioned
lovely just looking to resolve well done from bang wow this is very aggressive
though okay but I think it's hundred pieces and see it's time to try to
I fight this one out towards waterfall and they are swiftly overwhelming but bang is still there
Bring it up down at least two falling
Felt in motion now 3v3 and a positioning
Not quite ideal the flash doesn't even cover it. That's it. Not blind at all
Second layer of things now that's over to the flanking is going to be dealt with and now another top still blows nose
Are my pressure I swing the fight weights. It's over. It's game. That's game. That's loaded them up
with one HP
100 thieves managed to put a pistol on the board that really should sign this map
Off to the history books 13 to not be a chance for them to get back into this
potentially they'll have to force they're down to to 11
But they have looked out class here on Lotus bang has had it. I think the best
I've ever seen how this isn't saying to take a bit of a different at least in terms of who he's playing against
of the
way they've been published heavily for the
like this is a hard fucking like in maximum impact 15 kills he has
the mechanical aid individuality that's on display to the team of four they are getting
absolutely more than crud to the
It really is gorgeous
It's 100 views this could still be a blue ball
Not this map but in general like the best of three
and they can play maps that I wasn't sure they had under that belt it's gonna be
four spies from here on out but it would have to be 10 in a row 10 opportunities
for under thieves to take the lead
these are just looking more than prior to that
they don't get a fuck anymore max confidence
yep just turning and shredding them into mincemeats
feeling preordained this map
peek through this uh i thought he was going to
and patience called for a very mature at 12 to do not peek that
doesn't overextend just calls for reinforcements they know it's
within their grasp and that's this is game to the team at a one to potentially
slam this door straight shot bang over the shoulder it's a 13 to finish clinical
the word I'd use to describe it actually wow I have no words I was well done
they fucking destroyed them looks like lead one the Viper company general excellent
I did not expect us to be opening here with 100 feeds wiping levy at hand away
Why are they smiling?
Well, let's see what maps they got coming up.
Summit Ascent.
I want three maps, so I hope we at least get that.
This series, I think I'd like to have three maps.
I mean, this is just an incredible, incredible individual effort from Bang.
Bora for the pistol round, stop the momentum of the retake.
When they got ecode, Bang saved them.
Yeah, right? No.
Who saved them when they got ecode and then reecode?
Yeah, it was Bang. This guy's just had an unbelievable 17 kills.
This is a super impact this guy had.
I mean, I've got to do wonders for his confidence, all done.
That is the one of the only times this year that I have seen, well, in recent while that
I've seen left get guided completely it didn't even feel like hundred these like I
really feel like all five players on a hundred these were shitting on them any
time they peak them
and game without ISP throttle express and shield yourself from D-DOS attacks express and choose
the VPN trusted by gamers everywhere express VPN experience gaming the express way fast
stay aware shanks uh in Vegas time to express unlock free cus Peggy what the fuck is that
Of course, can't play.
I just got to hear what's happening, what's happening is 100 thieves is apparently the
best team in the world.
Or has the capability of being the best player in the world.
Oh my god, if 100 thieves clean them again, do you guys know what the 100 thieves stands
are going to do to our lives until champs gets here?
We're not going to hear the end of this.
If they too old love here, we have to get off the internet, guys.
this is going to be scary
It'll be like Arsenal fans? Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are we talking about right now?
100thies hasn't won yet. Arcel won the Premier League.
I just wanted to know who the 100thies fans in the chat were, so I wanted to see who typed DWC.
Oh my god, Pulse!
I had to see, I had to see.
I'm here with NDS ahead of map 2, we have pulled him out of the Chaos cage here,
and I have to ask you, how much of that felt a bit more in control though?
Because, well, it was crazy, you guys just wiped the floor with Lev.
Yeah, I think, coming into today, both us and Lev have a very similar team fighting oriented style,
so whoever fights better wins, and that team, that whole attack half felt so chaotic.
We lost rounds, we shouldn't have, we won rounds, we shouldn't have.
Yeah, it was really hard to keep up even for me, so.
What do you tell the team now between maps?
Just keep our heads kinda calm, because we were getting a little bit too heated.
I think we need to like breathe a little bit, so yeah, we'll do as much as we can to like
make sure they are calm and ready for summit.
Yes, thank you. Good luck out there.
Only lost...
You know what's crazy? You guys only lost two rounds.
I think he's only lost two rounds and one of them was the Sato hero round breathing stay in common
Actual hero round if they win that one
And the other one is the first to Brazil already, but first let's talk about how they got this first one done then Stan
This was back show
He was popping off on this server and walking talking highlight reel
Of course, it was bank. He has been incredible and especially for games like this one
I mean what a what a performance your way was the actual core of left. He is just
fracking out. It feels like this guy is performing and showing up when the team
needs it the most. It gave them so much momentum like NBS was saying and
winning those rounds so maybe they shouldn't have one but he was making
sure that it was going to happen. Bang was talking about writing his wrongs
making back into the Shanghai stage at champs if he can and then write those
wrongs on that at that stage at the Mercedes arenas again but this
This time he's running his runs locally first, telling the 100 Thieves fans, guys, sorry I left our setlist in the first place, let me come back here and dominate here and show why 100 Thieves are number one, and he took over the server today, man, he had a head on a silver for that four piece that he's gone over on the A side, and this just shows to me that you play with this.
Oh hell yeah dude, gross.
That'd be enough.
It really is gonna be dangerous, but it's not like they just folded, right?
Like early on in this series, Leviton and the Thieves, they were trading blows, they were trading thrifties if you will.
When did it crumble? When did it fall apart?
You guys think it's too old?
I refuse to believe Lev get too old.
There's no way this happens again, right?
This has got to be an anomaly.
the
Why do you not believe in 100 Thieves? Why do you think they're back? Idiot.
confidence now for 100 Thieves to move into that second map.
Yeah, right.
Well, let's actually send it over to Lev's assistant coach.
Minza, thank you for the prayer.
I have to say, I had him up too.
Overall, what, inside the Lev camp, what were the talks like?
What were you kind of feeling?
And even if you had an extra time out, what would you have said to the team?
For us, this has happened already, even in the final against Pepper X or even against Global.
So it's something that can't happen and already happened for us and we ended up winning the series
So we know that it's only one map
They think that wins two maps in the series. So we are hoping to do well on the summit
Thanks for the insight awesome mentality. Good luck out there
And it's simple math indeed the one who wins two is gonna make it through about 100 thieves are now on match point
We're heading over to summit
What do we expect to see because yeah, I mean I want I want 100 things to make
chance I do but I also want a competitive game like I don't know what you guys
are talking about I'm not a die-hard fan to the point where I'm gonna
sacrifice watching a shit game where a top team just gets shit on by another
top team and it was really interesting because a coach owner came to say yeah
we just played this composition yesterday and we decided to run with it and it
was when neon was also playing bad fits yeah just got the chance to see
and I'm wondering, was this something that they were testing kind of ahead of time? Is that what we're going to be seeing again?
Yeah, it almost feels like you're testing your Lotus approach into Summit, right?
Because you're not playing any type of scans, you're playing this double duelist with a sky,
and just trying to fight with aggression that actually defined you a little bit going into that Masters London stage on Lotus in the past.
Now that, you know, they tested it out and it didn't really work out too well. I think it was against Energy if I'm not mistaken, right?
It's time to really just maybe read things through because you're looking at a map like Summit.
If you're not able to find like that early information or at least the mid-run information
Outside of a skydome. It puts you in a tough spot to really work your macro on defense and the rotates this map is huge
Just staring at 13 to let me what just happened the attack side. So if 100 these are playing against that
What do you mean we stopped 13 to turn and are able to play like defaults inserts cuts rotates across especially
That's in cryo cells wheelhouse. That's going to pose a huge problem here for leviathan
But that is also something that Envy has said that to the teams when they come when it comes to finding and having a similar style
It is because of the team fight
Yeah, and this map is all about the team fights and the way that you're approaching the side earlier on with level we're seeing the way that
Neon was trying to get a little space on that A site on that defense trying to close the map a little bit on their opponent
And then later on I think it'll be a close summit. They wanted with that sky
I think we'll have a close on it shortly.
You can continue to expect this back.
We have to.
We saw this map one.
I think it didn't really come down to the clutches
that we wanted to, but this is so important,
if anything, for 100 Thieves.
11 is in a more comfortable spot
when it comes to points to make it into champs,
but for 100 Thieves, win now, and you'll guarantee
self-probably you stay in the upper bracket
with a stronger chance to make champs.
That's right.
100 Thieves on match point.
Will we get a map three?
Brandon Sideshow will be back with Summit right after this.
Kind of down for a hundred thieves to lose, so we can watch map 3, yeah.
I feel like we'd want a map 3 for this series.
I mean, if a hundred thieves 2-0'd them and destroy them, I mean, that's just...
I deserved.
Which is based on how Lotus went. Good for them.
And at that point, they probably end up making champs.
Not guaranteed, but...
It'll probably be them in G2 alongside Leavened Energy.
I
Make nope. Thank you the prime
Let's get straight to it then it is currently a hundred fees leading by one mark in this absolute
What do you think is the best player on these right now today like right now bang?
Okay, that's part of the stage with them. I guess I guess
Picture because one more map is all it takes for a hundred fees
The load to South Harlow.
There's really big camera shots.
Uh-huh.
They're giving me things to discuss.
Flashes of agent.
Because, okay, the assistant coach for Levita
was talking about that Furia series where they lost Sunset 13-1
and still rebounded.
When they rebounded, there's a third map to the other half.
Cryo Cipher, huh?
This series, we have no idea what they're playing from beginning to end.
And they've swapped up their comps again.
Hundred thieves are playing a composition that they know that they've taken from Braze,
freeze which was an incredible map for them that worked phenomenally i really like 100
teams approach here leon plays yoru
different comp that they're running on this map when neon is playing yoru
and it's cool it's different i mess with it but it's so experimental i'm under stakes our highest
leviathan of course they're sitting in the limit testing the amount of champs points they have
They are on defense, let's see how this goes.
It's not 100%, it's not a guarantee.
No senty on defense, so we'll see.
You are risking potential doom and defeat in many more ways than just this match.
And even if they win here on Sunday, they haven't shown their ascent across the whole
of stage 2 yet.
This man pool is ridiculous, which is why we were talking about it so much during
Lotus.
But it's gonna set us up as an excitement, because you don't know what to expect.
How good is me I'm gonna be at your how well are they gonna be able to play this composition is Sato gonna take over on
Ohman, okay, he's gonna be analyzing every single placement of cryos you tell a hundred percent
Let's just see let's just see we got even to be treated to that no attack right now
So I'm not too worried about him and they're going up to that one. We got Rob
Didn't we frankly we have been robbed if they don't do that on a cent
I'll be putting in a complaint to manager because the idea that we have Sato playing against Arsenal here two of the best
absolute world-class
Unbelievable
Secondary due list Phoenix players and we don't get to see them in the head-to-head
So the first to bring it out here. His stats have been
utterly
utterly ridiculous across this stage
From the high point of his long career
Here it is
This post exchange is out of his seat trying to get bit of energy injected into the crowd summit
Where we are staging the battleground
I
Putting this around here
Put the best foot forwards and we're witnessing
unconventional roles
I love at the
Viper passive a
Slow going for a hundred fees are gonna be
Creeping and they're heading the way into the side and now exploding all the way out of a fast lane
Oh no, wow, wow the scaling is so good.
Oh my god, the damage done to Spide's note.
This is a guaranteed hundredthies round.
Guaranteed, it's a possible to win.
Spide's into one HP.
He might actually ace here.
from one to the other for making sure the lockdown at drop down
this is difficult stuff indeed all that damage done so there's gonna be weak and
softened as anything easy pickings on what it looks like I mean they just caught
them so off guard with the routing now for a hundred thieves they were
expecting straight routing and this guy just slid this way
high-low set up just killed this guy before the second go through and he
killed him when he went through as well
wasted these last couple of apps. Oh my god. Wow. How is wow?
Really, that's not we're dying. I am the frenzy. I am the frenzy. Go bro.
She has hit some
Unbelievable stuff. He's got some pop again. He really keeping it real simple. Nobody people using that guys
don't get eco'd here you have the bomb site for free do not get eco'd here
What do they do about drop on this kind of round though?
Yeah, they died so quickly, Asuna was trying to min-max the orb and couldn't
So
And it's pretty efficient actually is only one up to one
I really like that protocol to you go forward to the few spot the cipher
You know your stage starting B
So I assume he's gonna prowler be and then you were get on a deep line or they have to assume
He's on deep line and they want to break the cypher kill the eco probably just by stacking all the bodies in the same place
But you're not gonna win a map fake a pressure while they pop B
baby
They don't do a miss sure, but it's gonna be runs like this that show us where the level going it takes to rebound in the series
Pressure all over the place here. We're seeing the wall
Alongside of a smoke as well
I can feel like a cookie a little lurk playing through a
Yeah, trying to create that pressure
Little bit difficult because I think it's easy for King now to realize it's fake
So now what walks back into site is they have be made control they had a main control
Okay, just be popular it's kind of obvious though with no mid pressure. I mean cryo is gonna walk up mid, but
What's the damage? It's great damage actually
Wow, this is the cleanest be hit
Yeah, I didn't do anything
Now what do we do about drop we tend to flush it
Potential in this bonus is looking deadly especially require acting to be Tina
Yeah, we got problems if we're left right now
Save it's a safe you can't win this for broken will be no easy entry not into this site. This is
Around it is all too wrong Lovietan can't get anything done another bonus conversion. I mean, I'm just abusing be no senty
He may as well have been chamber at that point go for an early B main kill maybe and then TP away
Forcing neon off his line. They can't hold the site. It's already impossible to hold but with no sense
It's even more difficult unless they might swap Viper to B
But even then neon gets past all the usual
But it's his position in back site and the way that what a start for Timotino to be able to shut down the drop take
That I think really secures things so much of the post plan retake is about drop on summer
And when spike goes down like that sliding in to try to punish wise. Thank you. Why is he thank you?
Gotta give credit to us and as well
Pumps just enough utile in there to make it feel like what's crazy is chat only Timotino is scaling
That's why it blows his eye isn't having any effect
He's the only all the utile is being sent out and it's just Simotino scaling
Like if he dies, then there's no trade.
But he's just getting the kills. Or he's getting the space.
Oh shit.
Fundamentals are not working at this defensive set up.
I think what Ono will be mad about right now is the fact that even though they cleared that threat over towards A, they still get three players on that side of the map.
Yeah. I wanted to talk about this strength of schedule here for 100 Thieves going over towards Master Shanghai, just to remind people of what was going on during that time way back when.
I mean, this was 100 Thieves at their app.
I mean, why is this convincing me as Sentie is just necessary? Like, if your chamber is able to walk up like this, go for a pick. I mean, Yoru can do it too, though, to be fair.
Yoru could get aggressive here and just TP away.
There is a serious chance that, I mean, especially if they win this game, they're looking fantastic to be able to make it to champions.
It's poetic, isn't it?
Beginning a partnership, what a way to finalize it.
Problem is the gaps that open up in the mid-round if you lose the entry.
For a hundred thieves, Bang was talking about it.
No troops anywhere.
They were able to go back to Shanghai.
One last hurrah for this squad.
Core replay as it has been through it all, for a chance of redemption.
So we can buy here from level time out was for probably beef at a next but they need every single round. I can get
Same setup in terms of B pressure first then a pressure
This time they're walking you mid
Into a B split looks like two things that I think this time first thing be made
And so it's got to be a B split. They might fake a split and then go B split
I'd like to see them do something aggressive at the beginning of the round so that you're using that 20 second time
Instead of just having it active there to escape
And having to play B for retake.
And the other is actually clearing these question marks and then moving the defense.
Okay, they're inserting 1B and then they're going in for a fake into back into a B split.
And the other is poking and prodding and leaving to Metino to one to see if he can take up this space fast lane.
There's a Mi-X.
They know, they know.
Let them know.
Let them know exactly what's happening.
They're out of this.
It's going to be slowing down at least some of the 100 these players, but the shots
need to ring out and they need to ring true now.
Pulls them back in a side air feeling uncomfortable.
Is anything but the same can be said.
out of it you know
Shredding them now. They're all there, but there's nothing now with a fight
It's a shadow from the side. You're gonna make it awkward 20 seconds remaining, but plenty of time for the plant
Yeah, no real threat here
The harbor wall from bang just lets you get into the site pretty easily now
They're taking their time, but like I said, there's no one here to be able to punish
Open fights down with that bandit in hand. It's king. They're just taking dance. What's don't are we dancing more shots?
They bring out potentially
The disadvantage in terms of weaponry, hundreds of thieves,
the rifles they are pushed heavily towards on site,
post-lamp positions, potentially exposing them, bang!
Hang?
Side-stepping, making sure to clear some level of areas for the weapons,
we're claimed to live now making a go for this one here,
is that smoke, blooms and blossoms is bang!
They killed...
Faking out, King!
Time's starting to tick here, along with the spine...
Oh my God, he goes back into the bomb site?
Oh no, he's just sitting in the...
Oh, friend over.
Crumbling to dust in his hands there is no chance.
I mean, Lev had it read. They had good rosettes.
But it just didn't matter.
Timothee went at scale too far.
Four in a row.
Showcase if you leave V as your weak side, they're gonna take it.
They're gonna win post plants.
And even with this Viper Orb in their face, they're still pretty comfortable with it.
What a boxy.
Is this over?
it is really well played that old snowball is still not seven and oh but it's
back who's closest one all the way level clear they want to fight over this
towards me and this could be what the time I was for 3b finally a B main
trap why do I feel like this is gonna fail miserably for love
oh my god
Now we're talking. Now we're talking. Finally a challenge.
Well, that's a shifter tempo. Even 100 Thieves is like finally only 4 or less.
Get Neon with an operator on the other side of the map and play aggressive in B main.
And 100 Thieves get rocked for the first time here on Summit.
And there's the level we know and love.
Sounds like they've been played out.
I'm actually not sure what gave them the timing.
was that just the phoenix wall about to be used gorgeous anticipating he might be
taken because i was gorgeous so often i mean they crushed them well the good
thing is they saw it very early so 100 thieves are fully aware of it now what's
the next step for that i think lab is going to keep doing this just now they're
going to go mid and do it the next time they're going to go fucking and do it
they can't let these xx come in life potentially cry out high ground position
Neon ult, Harbor ult, on hundreds
Five man A exists
Imagine, imagine Leva out of trap and the same thing happen
I grow all ups man
Look at how much space he takes
Retake points Lev
Alright Lev, 55 retakes. You're the masters of them.
Wow!
Spikes basically saved it by holding that angle.
Sightsepto from the storm surge is still trying to gear up. They are ground to a halt
It's proof losses the name of the game to the team at least find the one that won the base
Not fooled by a spike still hammering in the bullets hammering the shots
Still in a ball prior to cells
Still fighting their footings, but it's all up to Bora one be one now
Can this be on round over no time in his hands and out of time has bled fully off the clock
No chance whatsoever. Wow
another one
Well how's that a tally?
The post-plant theory is so nice there from 100 thieves.
I love the productivity.
They lock these areas down, getting pushed up deep over towards Cave.
And then also having yard control.
They force the fight forwards with the Harbor Ultimate.
And it just took so long for Lev to chew through this.
Honestly, if Asuna has a flash at Cave there and then they do the Harbor Ult,
they do the Harbor Ult here and then he flashes this,
I think they just get mopped.
Love.
They're in the wrong place for a lot of these rounds.
Now he's gonna look to take an early peek on A.
And Shae, thank you for the problem.
Wait, main.
That's where the bait and switch here.
Now spotted.
True, Neon could stun, but I think they would at least get the first kill, and then be able to like, reset.
And the other guys are flashed anyway, and then after...
Okay, we're gonna see if I take it on the other side. It thinks it's a king being squashed
To give a spike trying to get ahead of the curve once more putting a stop to it
He had to make a play have to press good awareness by war. I'm very good awareness
I'mings, but sidestep by Bora doesn't give away the game good patience clawed for
Taking the wrong timing there for spike
Already got away with murder knife. What's gonna scatter for it gives peace of mind for a hundred thieves
You can pave a way towards a wow hundred thieves is so in their heads because Cypher is alive
They think he's walking to me. This is the problem with having a billion gaps now hundred thieves are back in
There's there's nothing stopping them from going and taking this a we hit
And the post plan is where they've been most successful
They're lacking tools this time
The longer they take to get in and get the spike down and set up their positions the closer this net from levy
is gonna get isn't way back in 11 amidst of all of that work called for a bit
of a week there about to be not a group time ready to strike you guys think
Cypher should all their points gonna be broken here by neon he's a solo player
smoke up like plants that's one winters fight out no effect potential timing
blows will take it wouldn't to find what a gun wasn't in his hands popped
off the player positions pointed out small mistake but no more unknowns here
for a hundred thieves neon matter you all came out of a gay crash before
more still, so the aim onto the line, perfectly at that, is a head clean off the shoulders
and blows.
Oh my god, yeah, they are too good right now.
Oh my god, yeah, they are too good right now.
One of the pillars of Leviathan being so successful, winning at Masters, dominating here in America
is basically two.
One of the primary pillars is that when they play this one strong side of the map
one weak side, their retakes are unbelievable.
patience from Bora this round and then to walk back towards A once Neon cleared A main
and then wins the round at the end too. This is beautiful.
There's been no slowdown
This guy said this is without God mode us now. What is this an anime? What are we talking about right now?
Oh, yeah, doesn't seem to be showing. I don't think they're getting great value out of the yoru either
The early round pressure like there's a gate crash just expired for neon and that the protocols my hundred thieves
I mean the year
I'm not personally willing to wait it out until the minimum. Yeah, the slow opens
I mean, it's just five-man APOP, B-POP.
No info anywhere.
I mean, they at least have Subagrush in that B-name.
Results. Results.
Why is he killed, though?
How the fuck are they gonna hold this?
Oh?
out into his hands. Doesn't matter.
Still, Vora is active, waiting now,
Spike sensing a potential timing.
Oh, it's all gone too wrong.
His time is about...
couldn't see a thing.
And a hundred thieves find themselves at seven to one.
What is happening?
The second map, the Saitamap.
Map that could be sending them all the way
to a top four finish at least.
He was full blind.
They're looking peak form.
And they're showing us that map poor depth
But at the moment, Leviathan are like it.
I mean, this cop is dick, no?
We need a trip somewhere, brothers.
Any kind of trip.
It's like we're the op-thole on the opposite side of the map to where this action might be.
bit of spam doesn't go amiss but I was gonna get activated now fast lane forwards and I
flashed through and out players are just barreling it on an entry without it being traded neon
as all of that I like 100 teams of cooking they have to win this or how surely right
unless as soon as flashes is godlike and he sprays down three people eggs egg 100 teams
they do lean on to the team of a lot to be the first line of defense when the
retakes are coming through. You have to get value out of this Euro Ultimate as well.
Time's been bled down. Finally we're going to see if the Venture Drift will lead the way.
Pinging out the potential plays. That's enough. But it's far enough.
Stun, lay it down. That is a good connection. Spikes all the way in trying to adjust the aim.
Snakebite making it awfully difficult. And now just leaves it down the fore.
Wow. Wow, that is such a late paranoia.
I mean the retakes are still solid when they have five people alive.
have a big ult, especially in Yorua, it's the best one. To be able to work with it, you get all of the
information, really precise retake utility, and 100 thieves were not as pushed out. They weren't
locking you up in a cage or something, you defy for every inch. But it's just, it's easy
to run a retake when the ults are online, but you're not always going to have these ults.
And they don't rely on that on other maps. And they don't have it available now. So if
if 100 thieves get into another post plant expect to see another red blob on
that timeline love needs answers just outside of the ultimate they could split
through a link since B is probably stuck they stop the momentum of a hundred
these leviathan we'll take a listen in and find out this is the key
This is the key position.
This is the key position.
Paranoia, storm.
No, no, no.
I'm going!
I'm going!
One more!
I got you.
That kill would have been...
I'm going to run now, okay?
One the rounds.
That kill won the rounds.
You can come in.
I'm going to smoke.
Get in.
I'm going to smoke.
You want to smoke?
No, no, no, no.
I got a fang here.
The FG is low.
You can go in, I'll call.
Just go.
I got you, Bruno.
I'm going to start with an E.
I'm gonna go over there.
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going over there.
I'm going to pass through here.
I'm going.
I'm going.
I saw him, I saw him
You guys go out
They can't possibly expect someone to drop right now, this early
Okay, he can talk to you guys, with Poppy
Watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out
I smoked our front
I'm going to eat
I'm going to eat, don't smoke
No, say an answer
No, no, no
I'm going to eat
I'm going to eat
I was gonna say there's no way that would have been an insane round of wind.
Oh my god, tenuous is how that felt.
I gotta say I was worried.
Lev looked like they were taking their sweet time.
They still had six seconds to be able to get the defuse through.
because they were there so fast after the plant happened
but when bang rips the ultima i'm thinking
what how do you think this is winnable and yet somehow it almost felt like it was
brought it down into a 2v2 here
damn nice try though from 100thies they're making it every round so difficult
and get a big ultimate out of bang which was critical for 100thies to win one of these post
plants paid one away from it all salvage a half one away as soon as two away how
this one's right definitely agree same attacks ID font really just cry out cage
up breaking the problem the unknown posted operator when they get was broken
for him yeah when that gets broken so early you gotta have a lot bells ring
you gotta go from both orbs area somewhere around the map of an operator
and the Hunter teams have been perfectly happy to wait it out.
Down to the minima, I'm sure that gate crashes get burnt out in here.
They're so nervous about a trap because they, like, they know Lev know they're one away from this orb.
If they tap the orb the second they tap it, they're scared that it's just gonna be a huge trap.
They've already guided one trap.
Thank you, Shorda. The time isn't there for Hunter teams.
The operators definitely helped in terms of their overall macro, but I think also the aggression.
Neon's also being much more conservative as they crash. He's got a second one saved for a rainy day with the prowler spotting it.
Great time to send it out.
3A. Oh, 3D, sorry.
Yep, so we can play aggro here.
They killed.
It takes his time and I guess what, still has that get out of jail.
Three-card takes it now, spike forwards!
Primed!
Audi on that line, cryo-dope.
Straight through and out, blows is gonna be taken out.
Forward still, cry just spotting signs of life, spike.
Fast lane.
Put this way across, make it feel nice and all.
What a shot.
Oh, Neon are committed.
What a fucking shot.
Bora?
Don't you dare save this round for them.
No way.
Okay.
Yovarra is him right now. Actually him.
Okay, there's Phoenix and Fadal typing now.
cautious with how he uses the gatecrashes to the point where
he's got one for the...
Or maybe they just have
they know and went away from Phoenix all the time
Just as that exit comes through
they're ever adjusting quite nicely
and Hunter Thieves are gonna need a big one
to be able to
really show how dominant this half
was
Vora's been putting on
a clinic here
So we're looking deep though
Oh, this is going to make it hard though.
Try to get past most of these.
Asuna's got an ultimate.
It led her on the challenge. Asuna will be happy to take the fight, but he's only got one kill so far in this half.
There it is, Nifl. Now plenty of ultimates are going to be thrown out into the fray.
To Mithino, and eventually into the back of that site, just at least closing the door to make it a little bit easier for his team.
5v5, you got it.
Pamp.
Still need to go down.
Cypher is not lurking A-link or anything like that. These lurks are way too obvious to be fair, so I don't blame this for not lurking.
The back's going to be fucked off, Asuna.
forward seem to complete a little bit more time off out through cave but his
positions played for me on see what he's trying to angle to Latino stun lay
it down and out for concern but just for a moment more you're still gonna be
used level to try to find a way to get out and through the Molly save for that
rainy day to Latino again first line of defense for us but now be impressed
into a corner has to size the most of his spike now taking matters into his
own hands but time is ticking the clock being down to the bit of almost
the live that's when they are their finest swiftly over 100 these and they earn themselves
five rounds in what was an absolutely dismal heart.
What the fuck are you supposed to do?
The fact that they've recovered this to make it somewhat even is extraordinary.
It really is.
And this is one of those rounds where they brute force their way back through their adjustment
to the post plant setups from 100 to 100.
As the sweet take is coming in, in my brain, the IGL and me is thinking like
Like, what else would I be doing here, if not this?
And the only solution is two other people play exactly where Cryo is playing.
But there's a paranoia coming in that direction.
So where the fuck do you play?
I guess you can push the guy with the paranoia?
Fight the choke ahead?
Uh...
I mean, there was a neon stun right there.
That's why Timotino had to reposition.
It'd be hot behind the box.
I really don't know.
I mean, they did try.
They put it...
They threw a Phoenix ult at it.
Didn't work.
Then they neon stunned.
and left just waited it all out, and then just retook.
You take a short afterplant.
Even if you take a link,
like even if you take a link and you give up cave completely, right,
You fake like you're taking cave, but you really go a link and push the omen
You then have to come back out of a link to see where the bomb is
That is Brazilian about the experience like I did like to walk in 2023
It would be super fun for me and Brazilian crowds are also super energetic
I've loved watching Brazilian crowds and almost I feel like in every game I've watched like they're just super energetic and super
fun to just be around so being able to play on like a Brazilian stage and just
kind of meet and doing meet and greets and just being in the presence of
Brazilian fan base of the Brazilian fan base would be like super fun Phoenix
ult towards a link and not spawn true he could do that that would force the
Omen to use this paranoia on the Phoenix ult which means he doesn't
have it for the actual retake which means you can actually play through you
guys at that but what are you I mean what that box is called the big ass
box in the middle of the site not site but outside the site on the right side of
link when you come out in crowd triple double double box out so follow yeah I'm
trying I did I mean bang was there talking about is that bangs down to come
up to me trying to teach me how to say and I gotta apologize oh we apologize
we have been butchered a pronunciation we've been trying we listen we give it
our best but we're just two little British boys yeah alright let's see
loves to talk to you but listen to recovery by love by the way to huge three
huge retakes way back in and around together rounds to bring it up to five
and a pistol round would set them even they're playing to their strengths yeah
hoping for my eyes a glued to neon who is taking space up there in the fight to
be happening to material whittled down to kill actually bludgeoned over the head
those bullets. I mean, I really think if you are, if you're 100 these right now, you converge
on mid with four players, you cannot allow this round to just go down to time and then
they just exec aside. And then you just like retake. You have to converge on mid right now.
And a 5-4 like this, this clean.
Now, based on what owner has shown us this year already.
More in-deep, it's not going to be getting the tag onto the anchor in play, it's Cryo.
Sitting inside the smoke for now.
Very short, it's making it feel uncomfortable, but let's go open an easy access to this site.
I can flood him.
So Retake is going to have to be online, and a lot of Uto at their disposal.
Hundred thieves also will play it down now.
I'm going to flash forwards, and you're going to lay it down.
A couple of bullets potentially to rain it forwards, but I share it!
If all goodness me to punch to the cut
To the chest with the lead in hand for a try to preempt where these players could be commit now to the reload
But up he won bullets came here when he's remaining players are weakened
He's not going to be king truly. No, it's the almost gets on top of it
Wow, that's just been having a game. He's got 15 kills already, but even he couldn't pull that one out
teaming too much of a ditch
Lev, with a perfect opening if they want to try to make a recovery, that's how five rounds
in a row are spanning both of these halves.
To put them in a position where they should be, drawing things level 7-7.
Spikes in, man.
I'm intrigued to see what Levitan's plans are with the Yordle.
What around for him?
Neon has been an outrageous talent.
But you would expect to see him on the chamber, maybe.
Yeah, I'm just about so ready to sing the praises. I think about rookie fuck. Did that just land front me?
Yeah, I mean, listen, he's not a candidate.
Tom fucking Brady leading with the year just crown him already. He's a rookie of the year
VP of London already lifted a trophy
He's a special talent only have one match this year where he went negative
That is like the stat that you talk about with prime. Yay in 2022. Yeah prime aspects. Yes
these kind of people who are
Other world do levels have gone system
But at the moment he's just holding an area waiting for a push from hundred thieves
I'm waiting to reconnect with the rest of the pack
Then it needs to eat
Yeah
immediately escape
Still with both of those gates right are you just crying cuz she wants to come to her
It should mean that his team speeds up over the wood feet reaction is gonna be good here from left
control pretty close you mentioned but the players already vacate him that's a
molly potentially sailing all the way down to their feet making it very
uncomfortable putting them to cinders well done we'll handle from love though
but I think that they can find a way forward still time is on their sides
saddo is only gonna survive in a spotlight this do a bit of time he
sit all together it's already ticking go on to the diffuse for an easy
time but he gets off of it to confirm the kill still damage done I mean
enormous damage done yeah if we were looking at that round to test what
does levy the post plan look like
i'd say shaky
is one of the words you might use to describe it
they're not going to be able to really even
have a bonus here the right to be on it
you know we'd like to buy the road from love maybe
or they're just going to be forced
it was looking pretty clean up until a hundred these six in a row from a
positioning at the backside
so then the classics rang out
it's a red bull clutch
you can take it
but yeah this bonus round buy is it's not much
a bulldog and a stinger, two stingers sorry
we've left it a lot with just a toothpick so
we'll see what we can get
wait what?
well there's your star player getting taken out with some random spam
straight at the beginning
crush it in through mid
and of course
neon playing the yoru does not have
The headhunter to be able to rely on. In rounds like this.
He's failed now.
Hopefully he doesn't have to use it this round.
It's gone. Camera sees all of A main, so Tumatino's in no danger and he has a trip in front of him.
Only hits one.
Qs, but pretty sure only for spike the rest of the team not being caught by this one here
He's creating so much pressure that oh my god. They're going a
Move back of it. What's a bit of cryo gets back in the site and plays off this trip
He can shut this hit down directions cryo sees it signs of life spotted now
And they're gonna be hearing with the rumble of the footsteps
30 seconds left
What a call from King calling for it so all to see if spike and survive, but that's not even gearing up for a fight
There's an open sight line potentially with the door, but he's having a nightmare by the way one and 11
That's it. It's all close in his face can get a lot done potentially could try and spoil the surprise though wait
I feel to be no straight in there
Hello patients farm as a flash that's enough just trying to create a bit of carnage and chaos potentially for his team to take
Wait try to do that
Saddle forwards now
His name on the board just for the one bit to be Tino
They know this guy's gonna be hangin'.
They have to know.
Holy fuck.
Broke good thing you were crying.
One alive, no shot.
One alive.
One alive and a used fatal.
That's actually a great round for love.
Considering they got entry at the start of the round,
they triple faked.
Fake B into a fake A into a re-hit B.
I guess double fake.
this camp
for sure
that's stuff on the ceiling
ceiling maybe
oh it is
there you go
hello
cctv operation
got smoke there
alright stealing that cam
that's good to know
why not even be preempted
well he had a trip in that position in the previous round
but I'm assuming he was too poor to be able to get the second trip
but they need this link information
so that's why his cam is here
slowly slow to the minimum force of all still open
Yeah, close the door man. Why would you hold me yourself to two a yeah simplify to fight into mid perhaps
But does remove them an avenue. I guess they make him play play there
It just player has to play there on defense if they don't close it choose to break down there out
I'm getting active again. Oh
No
Is a proud for this one might be choosing just to face it up straight
huge
he's done great
tether
he's desperate for something to get going
is he actually?
he does
he does
he used tether
yo this guy is unreal right now
he's pulling a bang
top performer across the whole of the stage putting up a stinker hundred teams
would be dead and out of it. And Vora has just decided, no, this is mine.
Yo, they had one alive. This is so big for a hundred thieves. This is so big.
This might, this might be a pause. This might have to be a pause for love.
He's been looking at spots like this.
Swivelling around it.
Thinking about whoever I want to break the gatecrash for now, just chooses to commit.
Wow.
And still handles both of them.
Yeah.
Perfect target selection as well.
player alive at the end there like in the last round I really thought that if
if Osuna doesn't do what he just did he only gets one I don't know I feel like
this is their money's flock they probably end up losing out the game God
it's safer so much better than not having a centi sent he is so much better
than no centi I feel like not just off this game other games I've watched as
well king the veteran presence is surrounded by these young players the new generation has
coined by Wyatt I think it's just what it just helps you rotate so much to like not open
up gaps hundred fees I've got so much credit to give the coaching staff to which they brought
up I mean both teams brought up the coaching staff from tier two but we've seen owner before
at this kind of level I guess we've seen MBS as well you know the guys actually got
the long and storied history
exactly are in the eight days
impressive though
the thieves have been contender
every part of this year
despite the meta changes
5 man B pop, good molly though
good tether, good molly
delays a little bit
okay full retake for 100 thieves
Back now popped off forwards is the fight to be taken flash overhead needed one pre-empted almost
He needed one lucky to be alive 47 HP. Honestly, they're they beat it out of decent of all themselves
They use neon and fatal just now just to take the site. This is a big investment for Lev. They have to win this round
Yeah, already well, they're fucked on all post most of this one here Odin spam into drop trying to see they can set up a
bit of a play but spike is still
They can have drop area his domain
It's a thorn in the side row hundred thieves
They're gonna have to commit even more bodies now to clear this and he's got a stunt
Great stuns. I was aiming in my place still
Really our level really gonna lose this they did and it's relatively clean for a lot is
For two of these up to ten
Hundred thieves showcasing there the power of the Phoenix as well to be able to let them back into the site
We saw Lev get locked out on the retake so often by hundred thieves and how a hundred thieves was holding these spots
I don't know if you use the fade all and there as well as the girl, but I mean into these cubbies
I would not be saying that if they won the round so whatever it's like they could work from
Or maybe they just stagger the adults more
I'm tripping actually it's fine
Just funneling through a tiny joke
They have to be worried about a ton of different still have neon all but
I can't give it a look that's gonna video console out and boys just again. It's been a guess work
I mean more than just had miss finding his targets finding his marks
This is let them to be impressed into a corner to them to see
And live are putting together the pieces now rounds after rounds step by step
Wow ever so close to the Brazil what a performance in these days looking great here
Four rounds in a row every time reading where they're going
Never normally a team that masks so well that you're caught off guard and you don't have bodies in position to be able to do this kind of stuff
Find the thieves are reading it when they go be bodies there ready for the reason when they're gonna beat them with single digits on both maps
I get splanted
They actually just are gonna show them from making it to some follow
From being able to Cypher trips both sides as well
Oh where it all started why is that they're about to pop beat that would have been bad cryo would have had a field day here
So they've lifted once before.
Off the heights in the past.
There's a hundred thieves looking to exceed it.
Last hurrah.
Trip for FNG on scales this way or this way.
Just instant entry.
Tide angle to Matino.
We'll have to respect this one even with that outlaw in hand.
It's good to use tilt.
Fires him a bit of a safety net, but he can peel his way all the way back.
But there is more that came from left.
They're pushing their way forwards now.
Okay, Crash is going to be taken.
you know there's forwards here out access to a lot of the site you know
still that outlaw plenty of armor targets as well to be a potent weapon
so it's like it's gonna be set for me up the fuck up a little bit to one king
matters into his own hands now for the presence of the target with bang
being dropped expectations mounting Sato is gonna try and hold them back
They are knocking at the door right face when their bodies on the line out to that one be one
Timothee
Good clutch the rookie to get it done
A 12th on the board
The thieves they've just been in control today a
Small period of time at the end of the first half the composure of the thieves man
They were gonna show they know they're better quality. They know they're better right now
No, they possess and instead hundred thieves have answered back and slam the door in their face with plays like that
And from the start Timotino has been given it the energy has been palpable on that side of the stage
They want it today
for good reason
It would mean everything for them. I mean chance to play in the top four
This is working out well for us still not we may get a hundred teams that chance
We should in my opinion, no.
That's what matters.
Yeah.
It's over. It's just over.
Keep up.
That's it. You can't win this.
Wow.
What a genuinely would have fucking insane performance by them to this series
Do so they can taste it
Gloria waits on the other side of things and cry was not messing around not waiting for anything at all
He's already stealing up the gaps getting one that's step closer
He's on before one step closer to Brazil. He's thinking about the king timing already
Expectations there cryo is gonna know handled and the lock and key
and now just left up to Sato they played amazing today at 10 out of 10
performance lies in his hands on his shoulders and it just is not gonna be the
case of a good thing that's today rains actually congrats they put their ticket
to Brazil they were destiny continues a potential chances even further forward
to try and bang today man away to tell them honestly the Bora and bang today
a fan that believed that 100 Thieves were gonna win this game 2-0 in such clean
fashion this was excellence a really unusual map full gotta be said it's not
like we can dig into a bunch of history between these two squads they only
played once before before Neon was even in the team but when you think about
these two squads you're thinking about the neon Phoenix that was only
demonstrated today by our winning squad 100 feeds big win and it is so well huge win 100 these
teams from the beginning of the year all the way to now so they've been testing the process
they've been not sure they've been left for finish at least they've been energy it's one step closer
to potentially champs all in their grass destiny still in their hands
who wants to see that because the game is about on the day to on the day if you're
working to go to so far over the bad days you're about there they're in a spot now
which is absolutely remarkable as you say the coaching staff has been
instrumental today I think one of the biggest differences it's not
necessarily individuals it's the map here dare I say energy when chance
together and it's not a terrible guess. We just don't know. We just don't know.
We're going to shake hands now.
It's all matchup based at the end of the day.
There's so many other factors that I can't say.
It's impossible.
It depends on the day.
But this was a fucking insane win.
Plus 19, Bora.
Jesus.
Wait.
Oh, wow.
We got some banger lower bracket games.
This is also a great game.
Wow.
America's is about to hit.
These are all good games.
These are all pretty much good games.
good games these are all pretty much good games
WC part two literally can you watch EMEA now I just don't care I don't care
enough about EMEA I already I'm not making promises anymore about watching
EMEA I can't do it don't care all right I'm calling it's here GG 200 thieves
congrats to the fans uh i mean they should make it right i mean is there yeah i think they make
it guys mi br i don't think is even coming close here i think they just make it
This is it. I think this is just a lock.
Realistic world, unless something absolutely insane happens, this is just a lock.
I'm happy with this. I think this is a good representation of America's.
Like this makes sense. In terms of recent events, 100thies has been consistent for about, what,
three months now? Four months? G2, I mean, they've had a great year in terms of that they
were able to accumulate enough points. And then 11RG, just not even need to say anything
about that. It's obvious.
Molo, thank you for the prime.
This makes sense. I'm down. I'm okay with this. This is a
if we wanted variety, I mean, I would like to have seen my BR
over G to just because of how many times we've seen G to at
these events, but can't have everything. Or obviously, just
eG, just the, you know, I mean, eG over here would be nice,
but it is what it is.
You got two points. You can't do much. Two points. Unlucky. Rebuild here.
For casual players, thank you for the prime, then.
You watching APAC? Yeah, I'm watching both APAC games.
So we're calling it here. We're going to be on for Barrel Paper X and then GenGT1.
If you guys are interested in watching, come through.
I will be live in like, I don't know, five and five,
three, five hours, 30 minutes.
Love you guys, man.

Thanks for being chillin' to chat as well, not much toxicity at all, which is surprising
to me considering, you know, fans get a little rowdy around a hundred thieves times, so thank
you for keeping it civil in here.
The end of the day, it's all jokes, let's keep it that way.
Love you guys, take care, I will see you guys for APEC.
Thanks again, peace.
