Hello
Why do I feel echoey
Sucks thanks very much for the insight
Hello
I mean, this is just g2 right? I mean
Gotta go with G2. I think they're ramping up in a bunch of different places. Yeah, these are two players that they love to face each other
And every time they get the chance to they talk about it
This is not something that you see very often for other teams
Good matchup for a fury of them for comp when they were good matchup for fury and that play style was they they match up
Well versus team how fun it is for him to be standing up and also to have a read on how slow these two teams like to play
Damn Mac did the idea activate my soul. Thank you for the five gifts it man
He has a good rate on job, but...
30 seconds into the stream, thank you man.
Enjoy playing against Dragimoz XT, maybe playing against G2, because he popped off that game.
He shaped that shape, right?
Thank you, thank you.
Is G2 the favorite for today?
I would assume so, I mean yeah, it's hard to say otherwise.
Furia hasn't looked too convincing for me to put on his favorites.
Anywhere near favorites actually.
The playstyle was...
They would prefer, I think, to play like a...
Furia would prefer to play like a G2 type of playstyle that a loud type of playstyle.
Where they just get run down.
I think Furia really struggled against the aggressive teams.
The fast play teams.
So this is a good matchup for them.
Bro, people on VLR are mad at you?
No.
No, man.
No.
No.
Ten minutes from the play.
Watch the vlog and I find it absurd that you need to wait till March to get your car doing...
I agree.
But I mean, it's only because they don't sell the 26 models anymore.
It's just 2027.
And those are, like, barrier.
So, I mean, the reasoning makes sense, but I agree.
Did you see Liquid Foot? I saw three of them.
13-5, like 13-8, 13-10.
I did see that.
It's safe to say Trent is their best player currently, right?
It is safe to say that.
Formless.
I mean, yeah, when Andre is on,
She's clearly top-ranking, but um and he's been on more than not to be fair to him
But I think it's consistency wise. I gotta give it a try. He's been solid from the initiator rule
And he might be like the huge wincon for G2 to win today feels like a balance read on the round has ever misplaced
Especially the attacks like threat like salvage is it? He kind of is that stabilizing force on the team
Now we've had our yeah, let's talk predictions here from the broadcast
I think I'm gonna go G2 here as well to be sure I gotta go G2 here as well
This is fine. I think
Recursing them. I think it this makes sense when they face each other your last time
It was nine clutches that fury I was winning
It was five out of six pistols as well that they were able to close out
Oh, I missed the time where you were one case streamer used to read my chat
It was a run against teams when they hit the lower now I can't compete with these kids
Now you're playing against a top team in tier one. It's good to boot good about everything
I mean, it's nice to grow overall as a streamer
I'm nervous that we've all made that same pick here
Yeah, G2, but you're always back.
Both teams are going to love to pick that up by the time.
When I was like a 1-3K streamer, 1-3K people watching,
usually it's just playing ranked a lot.
Right now.
What do you think Paper X is struggling with right now?
Yeah, yeah.
Too many mistakes that they're making individually.
Like about a pinpoint one thing, it's the same thing that's held them back this whole time, which is overheating.
Overheating in man-up situations, they're giving away ones.
I don't think they'll ever stop doing that.
And it's always gonna hold them back from reaching maximum potential.
I don't really feel a lot of pressure moving to the lower bracket.
When you think about it at the back of your mind, it's like it could be the last match of the year.
I'm gonna play every match with my friends.
Artemis, thank you, Mr. Woman.
Thank you.
You're gonna be confident in our individual decisions, and we'll make the run.
Boy, thank you, Mr. Woman.
We wanna make chance, not because NRG year led God Top 2.
We wanna make it because...
In real sin, thank you, Mr. Man.
Right, Games Arena, it's do or die.
the winners of the kikoff still dream of playing at home
no thank you for the turn one
hi guys, hi Kimi
it's a lot of noise because today is the day of FURIA
it's a riches to rags to potentially riches story for this game
are you gonna watch all the games at Shanghai?
I mean of course
at least that's the plan
the problem with this current format is you go from planes into this
it's just the sleep factor
if I get good sleep it's easy
It's honestly fun, but this second I have a bad night of sleep. It just ruins the entire like
flow of
subsequent matches
Because anymore and look at the research and saw that agent going
Yeah, I mean you're right the retooling of this team. There's just so many games on that neon and basic on that Phoenix
It definitely helps out today.
They're opponents. It's three time America's winners.
G2, it is war!
Thank you, thank you, man. I appreciate that.
I wouldn't even call myself a Clawtime creator,
because I don't really create much Clawtime.
I just watch party, and those are watch parties,
watch party events, but thank you.
Vlogs are in there.
Chips and to go on a full loader bracket run, which is what you have to do for the first time ever
But if there's a team that can make it happen
It is them if there's a team that knows how to handle the pressure
It is G2 every single one of these players lifting trophies
How's right then I'm in play yesterday. I went straight to bed as soon as a pack ended I went straight to bed
We'll cut for this. Let me run you guys as well. Why it's important for G2 to win today. Yes
WVB code that they want to prove that they are also the America's farmers, but losing this matchup today here
We also guarantee let your time to make it a chance through the point
So that also narrows down your chance. Is there a world where G2 doesn't make us?
I think a lot of crazy stuff about that. Some very unlikely things are about to happen
Performance in South Polo, that's more pressure mounting. Let's have a look at our maps here
Even Sunset of this? Sure
G2 choosing to defend, we've got Sunset picked by G2 next and Abyss to round the pool out of
Interesting that G2 has been picking Hayden
Stay in the tier one
I hope chat is better today than tomorrow
Well, PaperX is out so I don't think chat will be like that
What up girl?
You didn't pay for X losses because they don't care and already made it
Today where they couldn't find any answer
Paper X lost fair and square, they were trying hard, but they make too many mistakes
They pay me too many individual errors and that they overpeak and
Like if they get the kills no one says and no one says anything
and
When they get punished
It looks bad
They just need to stop overpeaking. That's it. But that's that's always been their problem. So
There's so many man-up advantage situations
And they get a lot of ones in the way, which, stylistic for them, it's worked out so far.
The players are getting better, teams are getting better, and they will be punished eventually.
And they have been punished by better teams.
I don't think it's going to be the case for this map though, just because we're looking so good and there it is. It's going to be still. That Phoenix, that Nia.
Where you can rely on basic, it feels like every single time. Doesn't matter if they start down, if they're not able to close out a few rounds.
He's the one to trim things around.
Alan is playing a creative tournament and he's doing Nia and Joe dropping 40 bombs on them. Go teach him some manners.
Time after time.
Upjatter, I think it's your one.
one. Uh, Ideal Manga is the game. Uh, yeah, I'll be at home watching Shanghai. Is this
He's the guy who slept through EMEA games yesterday.
That's exactly who I am.
Let's go ahead and get it going here
with our first elimination match of playoffs.
You have Fyria and G2.
Where's Shanks?
Fyria is a team that have had G2's number all year long.
They bested G2 back in.
Kickoff, there's a couple weeks ago.
They're the reason they put G2 here in the lower bracket
with a 2-1 victory in the playing stage.
In America's G2, it's never not made it to a stage finals.
They are the kings of America,
One more. Get ready to have that cap on for a long time because you're going to win champs now. They're back. Yeah
practicing facing elimination. It is time for match start brought to you by Samsung
Oh, Ed Haven is going how crazy would that actually be?
I mean grounds for map number one here map that you're you took G2 down on previously
Here you get to start off here on the attack though and already have
This signature walk down C with the with the head on it. He's so fast on this angle
Let's see how loose they're going to be with it.
G2 usually a little bit more reserved.
What the shit is going on?
Yeah, you're always in that spot that Fury just cleared, not on the other side.
A gift when he turns around, an actual gift.
Now the contact being made on front-b, nobody's looking to leave!
He has the back-stab and quick on the transfer to Koala.
And already taking him down low and he's trying to stick around here for a moment.
Anthony, thank you for coming.
Now jump up before teleporting out.
I don't think I can imagine any more perfect timing.
Wow, that fell apart instantly to them.
to catch the net. Good positioning by Lee. He might ace. He actually might ace here.
Kidding. Wow. Lockdown mid and walk down the other side of the steps. A spot rarely gets
It's clear unless you see them in your peripheral as you're looking for them or something.
Very very unlucky for Furia.
Why don't they look garage?
I think they did but he was like hugging the wall so it was still not on their screen.
Wow, he's got a second guy at B as well as a clean around.
Fury have just been mowed down here on the approach to be made.
Spike finally are covered, but the rest of Fury's bodies have hit the floor.
I'd say that last game that you mentioned was at the career low for Babybag.
He went minus 24 in that game, could not get going on defense with this chamber.
Despite being, in my opinion, the best player for G2.
What a fun playing. Soon after this, stay here.
G2 is even in this position
Starting in the lower bracket with no second chances Japanese denim and no
Thank you for the lower bracket before in playoffs
I remember last year stage one sentinels took them down early on they clawed back to get their revenge
But this time they're gonna play more games in lower bracket than ever before stay control
against your Rufid
As long as they avoid see this can is so normal now the top window cans because you don't get spanned at the start of the round
Back in the plans from B. So you're able to place back in meeting leaf down here on long
That's leaf. Maybe they're pushing down there. Be careful
The little cubby corner there. Koala will get the first blood and really did you have played so loosely baby
May goes to the full-on. I mean he had his chance. He has to get that kill, right?
Can't really be losing that one out. Jock on on his wall. That's all their ones. This is a well handled round by Furia
G2 trying to get proactive across the board, walk away with nothing.
Now, a lot of times it can be really hard to have rematches against teams in such a quick amount of time.
You see it at global events when you play so frequently, and especially come playoffs here in Americas.
If you really got the better of G2 the last time, but already I'm seeing G2 play wildly different.
Not only have they already tweaked the comp, but walking so aggressively at G2 in the first, or at Fury in two of the first three rounds is wild.
didn't really go for plays whatsoever in that sense the last time that they played this team Wow clean round there for fury
But that is where G2 excels you look at this seems pedigree. It's funny. It's it's funny to me that G2 is playing like more
More aggressively now, I feel like you've seen a clear change in the way. They're playing the game
They're not trying to be so perfect anymore. I mean, obviously the fundamentals are still there
But that usually only like kicks in in through the threes and stuff
but I feel like the fact that they have chamber, yoru and neon, you see a lot more 1v1s being
taken by them. They're not trying to do it, you know. It's very different from what they
used to do.
tried to take some timings it did not work out in that game but when he's
feeling it when he has that hot hand he's so often the guy that he's making
the difference for his team in these mid rounds the mid rounds and he's last
alive to that clutch factor can absolutely come online and nori thank
you the two ones thank you yeah by the way I think they're trying to weigh out
my first TP as much as possible yeah like everyone else that plays against
It's the British throwing at the beginning of the rounds in both the last two going for walk place like that.
Correct, Lifu.
See if he changes his style, matey.
Yeah, what that alludes to is that's the timing of when the re-clear comes in.
Actually confirm if he's teleported away.
So this round he's held his teleport.
Hasn't committed that yet and is looking to disrupt this timing by upwards of 15 seconds, even.
Also, I think they're more waiting out that and also the chamber pushes.
Just after a minute on the clock as Lif now goes for this re-walk in mid.
This is a soul read from Leith and here's the drone going into A2.
Again, the walk down the window if he keeps moving forward.
But he's in a great spot.
Does he keep you away?
He stays.
This can end up timing out here.
He does have a second to throw out.
Oh, and now that swing around the corner.
Unfortunate, though.
He's got to get that, man.
Actually, by shy waiting so long.
But look at you.
They have to say three players.
Shy lives as well.
They have full A control, but G2 have the A read.
Still taking their time.
Oh, it's going to be devastating if we are to lose here.
That wall gets thrown up fast lane as well quick paranoia those
Well done, that was a good one there
Wall straight into the wall and now with the ping up in the back of sight
G2 don't stand a chance on this site completely separated for the time being
Front time to play this one 33 held that shuck dart. That's a safe a homing missile onto Trent for the kill
You gotta save this now if you're gonna do that
The early operator is a big win condition for G2. He does not want to concede it
Twice now we've seen missed kills from G2 the the overall play has been good
And he's out essentially outplayed them positionally and then they missed the kill.
Baby Vey, baiting for stats.
Baby Vey.
the last two but taking the op out of baby base hands is still miles away from the ultimate
is devastating for g2 it's a real nice one shot outside of winning a pistol round this is a great
round from an underlick killed both duelists on the side of furia
now it's gonna be quite a few rounds before baby gets that off back online i think that'll make
it harder for them to go for quite as many proactive plays in the leaf and jaw when you can't trust
They'd they'd always be solo and I've been waiting for leaf towards C
That said some pistols and singers in the arsenal for G2 on this half-buy round
And it's interesting how fury have worked the map so many of these rounds
They're still leaving their spike in spawn. They're really playing heavily spread out taking these early fights and taking out baby
Jesus chill calm chill take it easy. You've got your ones. Take it easy then
This run could blow up in furious space pretty quickly if they don't pick a
direction to move he's kind of rounds they've been worrying in the past for
furia I mean they already walked on seems weirded so guys found a timing out
onto a I don't know if I want is he calls his teammates over they get the pick on
Trent and now that risk is really nullified with an open a site yeah that
deep son from quality stops anyone from swinging out of the smoke either so G2
have to figure out how do you retake this a site and I think that's gonna be a
talking point throughout this map both of neither of these comps have very
Powerful to bully in terms of the retake the paranoia the best out of the neon is so separated that I was a great fucking bully though
You're you playing nicely around the dark cover. I really like how they worked back up into that fight and took on g2
Yeah, it's a really good deep fight from them. They clean up the santi go easily
So what are you at? What point the base changes because for fear it has been slow round after slow round
Waiting out the gate crash timing looking for the picks on these walkdowns. I think they'll have the read
Alright, so the two gun rounds G2 has lost. They've walked down. They've walked down mid, gotten aggressive, and then just missed a kill.
So I wonder what they even... Yeah, I was gonna say, there's not much to change.
I do agree that there's no time out there.
Chamber gets pushed back out of C instantly. They have A control.
No one's really fighting for A all that much. Omen a little bit, but...
It's a good call cuz they've seen chamber at sea so they know this is a weaker side
I'm calling, 3-2-1 Molly
Oh shi, I can't die
One window, one window, one window
We are not here
And now Trent has ult
I can't ult, I can't ult guys
I'm stunning CT, I'm stunning CT
That's too hard
I'll take it, maybe ult
Careful long
Oh wow, oh wow they're outplayed. It's just over
You're you're gonna win this round wow
I mean wow. 5v3 that was right. Yeah. 3v5 and then Dragon Ball White swings along alone.
double peeking insta does and it slowly falls apart waiting just for the end of
that smoke taking his timing it's strange man it's strange seeing g2 lose these
kinds of rounds to this day is strange to me I mean good play from furia with
that smoke on the site but like shouldn't you always clear that if you're g2
that isn't a priority number one is clearing that smoke and then after that
you focus on declaw tapping the bomb beating up the suck etc
from G2. I think that the way that they've approached mid has been the key point of this half.
Fury almost always plays weak mid early, basically only ever re-clearing it late round.
They are international G2 for.
That's why you saw them in these early games.
PaperX and G2 are trying to do the same thing. They're trying to get knocked out as soon as possible.
Because every time they succeed in their region, they don't win.
They just put all their chamber utility there. They don't win.
I see what they're trying to do here.
I see what they're trying to do here.
to put less presence into the space in mid and instead try and heavy bunker and flood the sites
especially because their comp can struggle into the retakes when fury you get that deep space
so often i mean she's using guaranteed chance that they kind of are
you know what i mean they are they aren't but they are it's like it's a stay alive one went away
if that's a guarantee it i mean hey you see them putting three players here this round
so happen some of the previous as well yeah it'll be a half buy for them and
And...
DaveyVe chooses to go for the Guardian here, flying down knowing that he's going to have
that ultimate operator online.
Subban, thank you for the cheerwon, thank you.
That'll be a run-a-back, now for basic.
Subban big win from him, finds the free orb as G2...
It's a big run from Fury of Windman.
Huge round.
5D3V5.
Another very slow round.
Fury of D1 don't have very much control to speak of instead.
Waiting for another one of these G2 walks hoping they get given an opportunity.
Shai's had a couple of rounds where he's been delayed into mid and found some impact there
and that's again going to be the situation for him.
Make sure there's no rotations through mid towards garage and Furia choose not to use
the tornado.
Like people who are not mechanically as talented as NRG's led MIBR but they always have been
meta abuses but this particular meta is so unorthodox it doesn't fair them at all.
Yeah and that there's a lot more gunfights, like a lot more 50-50 gunfights involved.
But I mean, who are they? Oh wow. What a fucking shot. And he just let's suit.
Honestly though, there is info for him. He knows Jorah push the way, and he knows Fade's good.
Allows his team to take CT spawn.
Wow.
can be they're in G2's walls. Fury took over the entire map this round. This is the call there
realizing that there's no risk of an operator. It's interesting. The drone like you mentioned
but what that means is that they're saving their utility for these C5s and it doesn't hurt when
Shy is hitting. Fury is ready for everything it seems like and literally every push. Yeah.
This team in mid
Guys got his number he didn't
Koala noob 2 was able to walk into spawn all of G2 rotating through the B site
So it ends up being an easy position for him to stay alive in
Now let's see. I'm not shy. We'll still be able to punch out baby. They
Same or similar default or I guess they're masking it and popping see here really fast usually there are two one two
two
as three rounds of gun and said
there's a change in the two
how are you ever getting back to the singer
up in the previous round. Now stuck onto the low bias. Basically still be that extra layer inside
garage and G2 once again come up with nothing. It's been shy round after round. Getting opportunities
for esteem in mid. And now for G2, I think the test has to fall. Well, this walk down mid strat
is just hazardous not works. The early aggression has not worked. And they have two duelists in
in a chamber so what do you do if you're g2 at this point I guess baby is gonna start
walking down see and then they over sex or sorry yeah then they over sack in the middle
round with koala
it's okay it's 530 blue hum
little eco frags on the exit there
maybe go for a full a fight reno if you're g2 with chamber elsewhere
plus 400 I suppose
I suppose.
Take some guns out of Fury hands, but they've been winning so much they've already maxed
out their econ.
Wow!
Love their timeout getting called here for JoshRT.
That was just two rounds ago.
Yeah.
That was a little bit of a different look out of Josh as well.
Previous time it seemed like everything was looking good.
That's the look of man that is not happy with the adjustments made.
And the execution on them.
Six rounds in a row now from Fury.
This is a stark contrast.
that bit of coaches are mainly using timeouts, reactively trying to slow down opposing team's
momentum and not so much proactively, stunning up a strat while it has- I mean, I think it's both.
And so they couldn't coach or call this on out. I mean, I think it's both, though. It's both to
slow down the momentum of the opponent if they've won like three rounds in a row. It's also to make
adjustments to your own game. Uh, oh, Delia, thank you for the two of them. Thank you to the 20
team
Snowball your momentum
But you had a huge advantage over a g2 that well, they're all so bad. Thank you side a quickly running out of opportunities
Well, if you want the colors is silver black rooms easy. It's looked for fury in these right over all
It's your color
He said that for three rounds three C post plan. Yeah, where he has not been needed to use that ability because period
Just been straight up winning out on site
brutal scenes for him
let's see just okay yeah so chamber C
neon garage and kind of fighting it
and four early towards A this is a change
for the slow rounds into C finish but again
it bleeped in this position third time this game
he's died on that peak down long
he just stepped out of that smoke too
no flash or anything thought he could catch the timing but
pure fire was ahead of that play
I don't know
So how do you get back in if I don't know how to get caught off-guard like this?
I truly don't understand
Cleanly down a man in this one feels newbie. I mean, I will say that
G2 were able to win a lot of rounds even after losing the first man
Up a side and thank you the prime though. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the message as well
good site holds
You went for the beige interior no red it's the fury are gonna commit back in this day
Asia doesn't look as good in person. It looks way better at like AI.
Jaller, thank you for coming.
Thank you.
trying to induce baby bait in a step forward garage
spot that head over the wood and that'll be an easy pick off now you still have
this guy would be a guide at this point
this guy you might not believe that he's playing this round
I'm sorry they're literally losing every single important gunfight
and most of them have been 50-50 fights
obviously not the least walking up long one
when he walked down mid a couple times
baby bait B when he died to shy
And where they're finding all of this success is this A long fight.
I don't think that Furia have lost a single A long fight all game.
It has been constant...
...picks onto Leaf in that space.
Constant advantages for Furia.
They're not doing anything super crazy in this game.
They're not...
This is just strange to me.
That right there is just so strange to me.
Why are they so sure they're not in their name?
I'm gonna
Josh has no more opportunities to step back in and course correct
And you know that fury a you can see the tendencies of the post plans to see them winning out in these early fights
Now with a quick look at being said of that long protracted one from the previous round
I mean drops on a fury of had his number the calm walks forward have been completely destroyed
Wow.
Wow, and he gets the edge off.
And he loses.
Wow.
What am I watching?
in the post-plant.
Fury are separated though.
It could be down to any one individual this fight towards A.
Oh.
He pulls away from it.
And Trent is right behind him.
A one on three for Arson.
Early on the pole steps into it.
That's a little bit wild.
G2 somehow clawed this round back.
Their first rifle round on the board.
And it's a three on five.
But who wins it for them?
It is Trent.
Why did they just skip the second kill?
What are we in a rush for?
We could have seen all three kills, guys.
One more on the road to five
Trent with the nightfall ready to go now and furia
Maybe a little bit of a wake-up call from them after King on cruise control for so long
I need to make the adjustments more
You're not shy from this angle
Finally and he has bounced back and that's one thing you're perfectly level head
Okay, you were way all of a sudden everything coming up heads for baby Bay and G2 a complete reversal
I've seen both teams is 35 at this point round here
get the opener. Shives getting a pick every round.
The garage pressure. Here baby has. And then they, I guess, walk B. No.
Now, Furia. Walking C themselves in a three on five.
Can you do the same? They're assuming
Audrey's going to push down, but in a five e three by Woodham, he is.
Maybe they walking out into made a wild timing taken
and an olive branch extended to Furia.
What can you do? Valon will have to shut this down
because if he drops, it's a three on three.
Wow, great timing on that smoke though.
If they want to fight forward.
But if a flash comes through.
Valin needs something here.
It won't be found basic on two HP,
but he has the run it back available.
That two health will be 100 in the blink of an eye.
And Fury can play this plant for long.
And the Sova ult that they've had for seven rounds.
Oh, no.
Finally in a position to get used.
Yes, Phoenix ult as well.
This is a momentum killer round.
If Fury is snapped right back to in their own three versus five,
It's so deflating for G2 and you have to play this so quickly and you have to fight a 3v4 because now there's Phoenix ults coming back at you
Basic sent back long so vault and early pressure onto the spike. It's the astral pull first. We still haven't used by enough time the ultimate
Finally it comes online. We're just holding down left
This round is lost from G. I mean we this is just disgusting from but like
Like, ahhh, I don't get it.
Chamber pushing through Garage is crazy.
Nobody rotating to Valin at all is crazy.
These kills are untradable and you're in a 5v3 advantage.
I mean, these are nice shots to be fair to him, but like, we're giving away 1s without
being able to trade.
It just feels like such a gambling setup for a 5v3.
arts in
Yeah, double off on the attack center from fury of but punished as quala will take his place
Oh, you have to clear away lead who still has the teleport out
And now the dark cover going down fury. I know some folks is knowing that I can't like this site after all
So where could they accelerate leaving a back towards a there's forward information for g2
Oh, no, this has got it. If they go away, this is just a G2 round guaranteed.
Oh, he is going to get droned though.
Everybody's by himself. He's going to get slid on the second he drones.
You gotta be patient. You can't draw him from right there.
Oh, that is a bold call.
And it's a bad one.
Wait, now go on and try to heat up on the other side.
Here you are, writing the wrong here.
They still don't have control of sewers.
And Cole's got an operator in hell.
A miserable position to find himself in.
And all of a sudden,
they lost pistol.
Wow.
Gonna take a fourth round for G2.
It's unbelievable that G2 even get away with four in this half.
But if they can win this map if they can turn it around nice shot
I mean to these realms get fury will remember
Calm drowning from short
Artens with with the operator
These little mistakes add up
Valin believes in it their attack side has been good damn poor half considering me one pistol
and second round, but whatever.
Oh, Volk in the front.
Who are you rooting for? I genuinely don't give a fuck who lives this game.
It is strange to me G2 is, I do respect that they're changing their style up a little bit
based on the strengths of their comp which is getting aggressive and playing aggro angles
and baiting utile and then playing the retake later when they have advantages but they just
lost so many of these fights that I don't know, like, they took a lot more gambly fights
than I thought they should put it that way. They're not really using the fade info to
get close. They're kind of just dry peeking into the opponent. And if they're, if they're
on point, they'll win the fight, I guess, which I don't, it's very not like G2. So
It's strange to watch
That is right peaking low key it's not about that though
It's like the way in which they're trying to gain info feels more desperate than like a
Set game plan that you're trying to follow
I
guess
The mid walks, I can't really blame but like 3d5 you're walking out of garage. What's the excuse for that?
Well, that was certainly a strange half of valor. It seemed like 5d3
2 5d3 is actually that g2 lost the seed post plant. You're not clearing the site smoke. What's the excuse for that?
There's a lot that's going like under the radar. They're not doing a little the little things right. It's true
Which I don't understand at the start of every round going for these fights
nearly cost them the half but four that's doable it was G2 who was at huge
advantages in the last series it was Furia who came in the front made
something of that series and sent G2 to this lower bracket now the opposite
scenario as G2 looked towards C. Furia is going to hop in his cage. That's Ashura Batesford.
Deep on plat and just set up for shy to plan either of these close corners.
G2 gonna have to be careful as they work through this but shy is actually making
Wow.
Oh, and actually, oh, good job on com getting one back though, and keeping his HP.
Still winnable for Furia.
Another 5v3, G2's about to lose.
Nah, they're playing 5v4 Spawn.
Valen still has Paranoia as well, but then Jogger was gonna get hit by it.
major factors two up against g2 the previous time and already
well they can lose that'll be two from him
quick for the reload is caught hold the other side but now it's koala stuck
well done they're scaling together good job
and tren won't let him have his day
good job, good job, good job
i started believing in a miracle when i saw the blind connect only
onto fellow members of g2
opened up those first two picks
but instead
instead they close out this opening with wow that's how he dies excuse me dancing on them
that's cooked i would be so mad if i was not blind or anything that's just how he dies
this right this jumping blaster if such an important kill too the jumping right click
does not favor leaf there yep but it's on his side today and from a decimal start to this game g2
Wow, not gonna lie, this is site for his biggest nightmare, say you're set up on C bomb site
and they do a C-pop on you, even a C-rushed on you.
You always need a second player here with you because you have to worry about Yoru.
You have to hide from the blind, which means you can't break Dart or Eye.
And if you try to break Eye, a flash pops in your face and the guy TP's behind you.
They can't ever anchor this alone.
That's pretty much every second. And then you have Neon jumping in.
The reason I think that's especially a problem for Furia
is because they're applying this composition with the Astra instead of the Omen.
Yassir is very good at holding down onto sites having a pull, a stun in choke points, cutting things down.
But what you lack is a paranoia like Omen, a tool that can cut off a line, get you back into these sites on the flood retakes.
So, you naturally want to try and play on site, let your Phoenix flood in behind you.
But that becomes such a challenge.
And that's gonna be the issue that Fury will have to navigate.
Why is he not flashing back site before he TP's?
Yeah, you'll see Fury when they move around.
Give him layups. These are layups, Sam.
Give him in the game.
Easy kills, you gotta love it.
But yeah, you'll see Fury as sort of group together, fight a lot with their Duelist,
but then leave some gaps around the map.
That's where Shaiji's time comes in.
Sam, go long down to the top.
Thank you, thank you.
Somehow spread out there and don't get tagged up by the shock.
It's a pretty strong bonus round by for G2,
And that is to start calm dead on a yep
There's a little gap there that jugba took advantage of still entry and he took this this
I'm so
Exactly choosing not to come into the site and maybe for a good reason cuz koala has a easy pick out there from up in heaven
Wait, Molly's
G2 it is critical and everything and I haven't guaranteed period when this round gonna cut try to disrupt it
the smoke going down just to pull back as a matter of fact as furia try to get
heavy out from heaven it's hard for them to break back in another curveball
jumping up onto the top of sight he drives on call with a beautiful stone
well done any legs buying some timers arts and drops in from heaven picks up
two of his own so I'm not favoring them so limited health for the
comes up clutch I got a little nerve-wracking at the end there on the
Retake for Furia!
That's so big for Martzen!
The round was looking rough.
Having to play a disadvantage retake
after calm dies in this position.
But I love how they play this.
Koala getting massive space, sliding out onto the site.
And in this super chaotic situation, they're dancing around that one smoke.
And Furia just navigated better.
Managed to find advantage fights.
Swing together in that chaos.
And it is so hard to retake that A site with furious comp. You'll see them go for heavy heavy. I think it's a problem a lot
And keep by having that smart that smoke that star on top of site
That's kind of the only way in
Qualanoo has to be such a nuisance on that retake
Is it gonna die like that again?
That was on G2's bonus
Depending on how this half pans out. No drone for calm which means they have to keep 2A basically the whole round or play full retake
3A
Heavy gamble, very heavy gamble here from Puria, but I don't even blame them
That'll be hard, especially a good job getting spotted though exactly what's about to go down is that teleport
Lighting for the koala. You've not ready for him in the corner. This is a clean round for failure
They're back to somehow work on through this. What the fuck am I looking at?
Jogamo koala!
They were tap-dancing. Shown up in a major way
Instantly turning the tides up this second half of the line. Oh my god. They lost.
Just shy in the corner. This is a fight me too.
They don't know Shai's in here.
They really can't.
Nice kill.
Well done.
Nice fucking kill.
that round incredibly patiently has one more cage to reposition and reads into
exactly where both his opponents are. Koala's value this round. I mean yeah, Koala's done great.
His teammate made good noise for him though. So he went overlooked, didn't check him.
Wow, that just, that round, winning that round just saved their whole economy.
to me or this would have been so full so little pistol their second round looks clean and then
fury it simply will not be stopped oh okay it's gonna make a slow momentum now without
koala noob who's been the x-factor in this match now it's time for shy oh man this guy's
impact right now sticking around a little bit crazy especially on 33 HP but now with
The download knows exactly where G2R.
What a play.
This run was getting out of hand, but maybe they just pick on to koala.
Save the round again.
Now G2.
Re-stingers, they're popping C.
And this camera down long is brutal.
Honestly, good talking on the cam.
I think that's off too.
Oh no, this court deep into sight.
Now it's weird.
Now it's, now it's just weird.
Now they can be around back to B.
I set up for Fury here, it's good.
Look at calm on the forehand.
I love Com's position.
The Odin is the perfect weapon against these stingers at right.
Yeah, there's no way.
Oh boy.
To beat this Odin on a long line with stingers.
There is no chance, that's one.
And there's a turn from Trent.
What?
Trent's been good for PC's on 2HB.
Good luck getting on in here.
Art's in.
Dodge away from the stun and sticks around, not allowing G2.
Set up comfortably in the plant.
Trent still don't forget.
He has no health. He is
And that is all he's gonna get
11 for furia and the mirror. Ooh, she seems running out around to play with them
What happened to this furia team a complete wake-up? I mean they had zero wins
I love this for Simon. I really do beat G2 out of nowhere
Yeah, what what just happened and now playing to win the round there losing through he knows
He knows
G2 gets the time to re-exec
It's too hard to hold
You have to take gamble somewhere before you fuzz
Reinvent their comps get the op out of koala's hands. He had to pick up the neon instead
Basic as well with a massive role change
But they seem to have figured it out
I'm looking at koala down mid. Com has the ultimate available too
I know that fury I love to run some active looks I see split on stun plus the
I guess Koala as well.
Oh my god.
Koala shoots his guy flash round over.
Oh, done.
They can still do the C-split.
They can literally wait 30 seconds and just do the C-split.
Only scary thing is there's no A-pressure done by G2.
So Fury could just be stacked here.
hiding from this drone is massive though. Now they can do this try easily.
And so on Gamble! Well done. All through the drone is in T-Shit.
on E or C when they have two big ultimates.
Furiya obviously gonna save.
Let's walk down from Koala.
Wait, never mind.
How does he win that one?
Never mind.
And now he knows exactly what's going on.
He's on the right side of that, but here's the U2.
Oh my god, he's playing on chat.
Koala noob.
Kill's a clone.
That doesn't count up for the kill feed.
Look at baby, he's activating as this is happening.
Koala's alone.
Somehow Koala doesn't play something there.
It's still a winnable round.
That's what's crazy.
Chuckdard nearly it's still a winnable round landing on the job
How much does he want to use the ultimate a two on three? No ping? Oh my god? Oh my god. He's off in the dark
No, wow, but trying to scatter these players in shy's direction
Ballon got pulled away he's on the deeper line
and come is really trying to play such a distraction I want to jumpy I'm still
looking for it well done well done it's just leaping garage
as the smoke clears you know with the fake out straight in the car
and it leaves all the way yeah I just not keep there though like you look at
that streak arounds in the first half and some plane has to fall to leave he
He died first in so many rounds.
They did all the hard stuff correctly and then fell apart in the easy part of the round.
I thought he was anti flashed, but what really mattered was this red bull clutch isolates
both fights and keeps G2 in this map.
And this has now set G2 up in a position where they could connect these rounds together.
You look at this round, Furia on a half five.
They got absolutely nothing.
You're gonna blitz at them and then in the coming rounds. You've got Trenzel only asked her to take a run down
Keep this party rolling
We feel chooses to commit it on this one
Not trying to take any chances. They don't you're all as well shut down the audio teleport light in behind
That would have been scary basic only finding kill every very very very scary
Yeah, I don't know why here is using any off of this run, but whatever
I guess they're striking for Shah and trying to flood since they're all there.
Honestly fair enough, whatever. They were in pretty good positions.
If Joggenau was the one that died there instead of getting that kill, that Phoenix Elf does a lot more.
Shah gets a better timing for the flank.
So it was winnable.
getting a kill with the molly but now the alt economy for fury to try and stunt
this comeback and get that all-important 12 on the board is far away from any of
the big ones any of those like you were talking about they'd love to make set
plays off of the nick their retakes easier feels doable for g2 now especially
fury of buying themselves almost to nothing that's true light armors to baby
They spotted out and the teleport eating up to
Really G2 just trying to do their due diligence here find the setup figure out
It's a service a default and now pivot into the B site, but it's quick from furious
Well, and you hang it out in backside. Oh, they fled. They flooded even is down
That's a double TP some covering fire put down to the smoke as well
Oh steps up two kills and a spike on the ground
And Valin is stuck
No teleport
Fury not holding a phone with the smoke. It's huge kills there any repositions
Play this is another go together
I would be insane if G2 walk to see here's their steps back in I think they will they might close proximity
Nevermind
Maybe they is gonna hang out here on site
Ballant has paranoia. Fury is still waiting for that aggressive look. No smokes here
It all comes down to the fights
Darten a shock for calm dark finds nothing on site
No, I think each of us is from second to get stopped to get paranoid baby big peaks gets one
They're off the bomb and then they double peak for the last two spoke on the spike
You got a paranoid to some chip damage links calm well and cover the fire through the smoke
It'll be down to one on two
No time Valin needs this first kill, but Shy has his number!
Furia are one away from this opening map
That was as good as it could be. Calm it around. If Valin can get that first kill before the half comes in
That is a one round for G2
But it said it's Furia bouncing back
So he made a great play with this TP
But it was this reflight from fury a koala getting so much space for his team and setting palm up for that too
Like a bloodbustler too might have just popped in his forehead
Koala knew right in the highs here. That's only all we know to play with
Absolutely, I think you can lose here. You can feel that
Even the stamp to the wall is putting chamber lurking again on g2
They're not really using the space once they get it four chances to close this game out
And furya start this round slower again, they're duelist bunkered towards a
Ensuring that they don't have to play a set read watch shanks. Is he live on that side? There's no way Ryan's library now
I just don't know G2 are capable of
Decapitating koala on the exit remember the last time they tried to go a what quality to them
Three kills in a close corner, but this time he's just swung you out into the middle of nowhere
They punished a double peek. He still has the push. I'm sorry
And paid the price felt a bit disconnected there between him and basic
They're not even hitting. I think I think furious expecting a re hit here. Fury have one round
It's just it's not gonna be a re hit. Don't count them out of this
So this is free fucking around for G2 trying to catch a timing. I mean Nardz it does have alt
noise on this be like a retake all which is just gonna play on anywhere now showing the the forward look to baby
They starting their teammates already dropping on site
They're lying so much on baby. They now he's running through it the cypher is already spotted him with the ultimate
This round is going to pieces fear. Leah. What the fuck am I? What is?
It's holding the defuse as baby. They goes down
How many ones did I just see randomly?
The pistol rounds make G2's number 8.
But let's not make a mistake, this was a dominance game for Furia.
You did a good AD fault, you got the kill on your AD fault,
you walked away, you have Leaf at middle, you go B-pop and everything is perfect, everything is going according to plan.
plan and then everyone on G2 took an aggressive 1v1 as the bomb went down.
Why?
I don't mind you playing on the site, that makes sense, they have astralol, sure.
But what the fuck are we doing with these ones?
We could triple pk link.
And that's it.
And I will see you in the next video.
I mean, G2 won both pistols, that's what's actually sad about this.
And they lost 13-8.
I mean, this is just a yikes, but at least they are on defense.
This, you can't get any momentum here.
There are a couple of 5-3 sprinkled in here that I just don't understand.
I've never ever in my whole life seen G2 play those situations that poorly, not clearing
very basic ass angles and then getting punished by them because of it.
you have numbers I don't get it. Why do you glaze energy to energy so much? Everything
Everything's glazed you guys.
Everything's either glazed or cope.
You call someone good, it's glazed.
If they go to champs, it's going to be a bad time.
They got to fix a lot of shit.
Let's put it that way.
I mean, the weird thing is though, I don't expect them to fall apart on those rounds.
So I feel like there's an obvious like, some sort of panic going on that wasn't going on
before in these situations specifically like it's way more about it seems like the comms
are just chaotic for some reason just based on them not clearing basic as shit
The shanks retired now, really back.
I think a lot of people are overwatch parties and I'm obviously Tarek finished.
then
Shakes and sob
Kind of over them to actually I don't know if Ryan's over them, but I know Sam is
You guys might be whoa whoa whoa don't say you guys for me. It's just sleep sleep deprivation is my my annoyance
It's a man. He wants this fight and baby. He's holding his window. There's a smoke here, but he doesn't care
Derek's finished me for real broke. He's in a mr. Beast video
What are you talking about? I
Am here with Shah ahead of the next map and what an incredible start to this series especially versus G2
What were the talks going in for the team? There were some blows coming out of the last match
And it seems like almost a brand new day. You thought you said like washed
I mean, how dumb are you to think that's what I missed how is in the last game even in the context
I was not making any sense five or six rounds in a row. I
See my players very
Scary afraid to take risks and
And we don't have anything to lose on and we talk about this before the game guys our situation is pretty hard and
We just need to put our best version inside the server if you need to push your operator push our operator
if you need to play on sheriff on pistol play on sheriff and
Let's make happen period one. Yeah, I can map to good and we have some surprises map one second map
Love that shot. Good luck out there
That's why we're leaving in the desert.
Don't die soon.
I'll watch another one.
It's just weird because it's APAC into Americas into APAC like literally guys.
My alarm is literally, I'll show you.
Okay, so it's 3am and 3pm.
Like, look at my alarms.
Like these are the, it's ridiculous.
It's just strange.
It's, it's, it's, it, and I, I know you guys can relate to this at least.
When you get like a good six hours of sleep, but it's like good sleep, good quality sleep.
It's a hundred times, you feel a hundred times better as a human than if it's like, oh, you're
waking up in between or you wake up hella groggy because you're in the middle of REM
sleep or something.
When you wake up like that, that's when it's like, you're exhausted the entire day basically,
unless you like nap.
And lately, that's what's happening to me.
And it's so fucking annoying because it's rare and I think, I know why.
I know why too.
because I stopped jimming and jimming made me so tired and I was able to get better quality sleep because of it
This is one that so it's actually just my fault on either side of the coin because while G2 struggled on their attack side post plans
Conversely, fury a looked really good when they were you know on but the attack and defense their
Retakes were also really really effective over the course of this map. It was a mix of the retakes and also understanding
I can help with that at night time
You talked about Pickle.
The last time we saw them against Loud, where it was Loud that was running it down on that
ace side, shutting them down immediately.
What they do here is get in some awkward positions, hide in some corners, make sure that as the
hit is coming through and is going to hit a rare blast hit, they are anchoring really
high.
A good routine.
A healthy routine for yourself because long-term effects of that are very beneficial to you.
And outside of that, just grinding, I mean, yeah, if you're asking outside the game, just
good routine.
Gym, eating well, sleeping well, making sure you're not overplaying the game, although
that's pretty difficult, even for me.
Yeah, just having a decent balance in your life.
I think balance as a gamer is pretty difficult to do.
It's very, it takes a lot of discipline to have good balance in your life when you're
playing games all day. But everyone's different too. Like there are people that
grind like 17, 18 hours a day. Well, probably a little less like 14 hours a
day every single day. And that's that's their lifestyle. And that's what they
choose to do. I've done it in my past. So I mean, I don't really, if it's
dependent on the person. Do you think grinding rank can build bad habits if
if you're a pro, not if you play with goals in your mind, like, oh, you know, I'm going
to play this way in this ranked game. I don't give a fuck if I win or lose. But you could
even you could care if you would or lose, but like, if you don't make silly ass decisions
like complete opposite decisions from what you would do in a match, then you're fine.
discipline to know that, to know not to do that and then just doing it.
Black, Bluhonda.
How do players like Primmy achieve that kind of aim? Well see they're grown in
lives so it's not like you can't compare yourself to them.
That was our team play. I think we were a little too individual moments and some of
rounds escaped us and yeah I mean like fear you had a good gun round start we
started off well to 0 but they started to call back have you ever taken out a
roll no you should face to play a little bit down paced and slowed it down and
just cost it for once but like we kind of lost ourselves and you really really
recognize the scenarios and we weren't looking for our teammates we weren't
playing together kc thing to remind them real quick like guys you guys are
generally playing well just in these moments where they're just pulling us
Just find a teammate try to play together and we'll we'll find ourselves in favorable positions. Thanks for the insight coach. Good luck out there
Look try to understand this for a second from a g2 perspective, right? Here's my issue with g2 these in these 5v3s
Anytime you thought of a fundamentally good team in these positions you thought energy and g2
fanatic even old fanatic and
And now it feels like in those situations, G2, it just crumbles, like actual crumbles.
And I'm so confused as to why that is happening.
And Erzine, he's trying to prove that the changes of the teammate, they are for a reason.
Spotter Southpawler is on the line for Fury, it's a spot of chance and for G2 it might well
be as well.
Well, we're gonna step aside for a second meaning Ender are gonna take us back into sunset after show
James thank you the problem
They even co-streaming of course my pleasure
It's my fucking pleasure these games. I mean obviously masters and champs games are way more fun to watch. They're way more hype, but
Getting insight on how these teams play and stuff. It's it's fun to learn
It's fun to learn in this sense too because this is the most easiest way to fast track
VODs and matches are the easiest way to fast track your knowledge on what the best players are doing
If you can retain it
Crypton, thank you the tier one and Daniel, thank you for the prime
Cryptic, thank you the tier one real aim. Thank you for the tier one
So you know what I thought about doing and I'm gonna do this more actually beer guys. I'm gonna tell you after
I mean, right now, of course,
FURIA lead the series 1-0 at the absolute smackdown mini that was Yosada.
Yeah, it was a sick map from them, honestly.
G2-1 pulled pistols.
They hit them closer than it should have been,
but in reality, that was a well-controlled game.
Some said an interesting one.
Both of these teams have already played it,
but I don't see it as being necessarily towards the top
for either squad G2, though, who wants to pick this up,
this up as they would turn to this double 70 comp with leaf on the stage. Yeah, it's something they've
liked to do a lot, but it's been a little bit mixed in terms of how it's performed for them.
And it is a change on the other side for Fyria, looking at that door locked in previously,
they were playing the phoenix getting launched by basic. This time, basic is playing the neon,
the men who only just switched into the duelist role, primarily on that phoenix, now having to pick
that role up here. You know what I'm thinking about? I was thinking that every single game
that we watch, party, we need to start doing like knowledge slash breakdown segments. And
the best way to do that is in between games, right? Because I don't give a fuck about whatever
these guys are talking about. So what I'm thinking is I could, we should pick out rounds.
I'm going to ask mods to pick out rounds that are interesting for me and I want to revisit.
And then we rewatch those, those rounds and like analyze them properly.
I think that'd be fun.
No, too many rounds, just like one, maybe two rounds that are like, we need to take a look
like a huge momentum swing round, for example, that completely switch the game and go, go
into like or like a huge 3d5 or something like a big this big big advantage that was lost and we try to figure out like why
That happened
America's they had a chance to go to
Facing elimination out in the first round putting their hopes of champions putting their future in the hands of others
Let's try it. Let's try it and see what happens
I'm here you with some new agents here looking a little backwards looking a lot like what g2 was rocking just moments ago on Haven
walling it getting baited. Ford, that's a beautiful first shot.
There he goes. Trent, always having the track.
Well, they're committing to this hit.
It's good. G2 though, stalled up for a moment.
They get the site for free. They sage walled markets.
It's Furia, tasked with a retake here.
Oh my god, if they retook market after sage walling it,
like behind that smoke, that would be an insane play.
And by virtue of that wall holding down market,
Ford positions for G2 in the post plant.
Leaf.
No, it does not connect on Salih, but it doesn't quite matter because they say
They're doing on my own already secures to
Puts baby. They back into a corner. I'll do it was this health to the duelist a nice like shot one more
Was necessary shy clutches up again. No chat. You know what the better strat is. I'm not even trolling you
Sage wall here
Run to back site, but if they start breaking it with a knife you get into it
like you just rush market the second it breaks because obviously they're gonna go through spawn
Why would they go heavy through market with three whole walls in front of me?
He wanted to
was what they said but by the way
What this man on doula's every night the ultimate out play so sick with it
You know feria came out of that oh and five group stage performance and we're a hapless tumor
We're a lost team. They didn't know what they wanted to play. They felt the meta didn't suit them
I know you don't want to stream your valve, but thoughts on recording?
Okay, you know what?
I'm going to start recording my, you're right.
That is fair.
W would suggest that.
I will start doing that.
I'm just going to record every single time I play the game.
And then we'll make like a compilation of good and bad rounds.
Or have my editor do it.
Wait, they bought and lost.
They bought and lost.
Vacuums up a couple of extra kills for Furia. They lost all of a sudden score equalized momentarily baby
They again a one-on-two this time these players separated that this time
Baby Bay is just a breath of fresh air away from dropping himself
But nothing to be found there a major investment and a major loss for g2 the fight market was so
I'm so sorry.
Would you rather watch a best of 5 Abyss only or a singular Emi again?
Can I just choose neither? Like what are we talking about right now?
I mean...
Obviously the Emi again.
in america's abyss is fucking terrible so much impact and it's a completely
different world that's the weird thing when you look at this on paper it would
make more sense if basic was playing the phoenix right next time i have a meeting
with riot at any point about anything and they ask me like hey how do you feel
about the map pool i will literally tell them or ask them can you just give up on
abyss can we not try to make it better just completely give up on it can we
let this map go was that they're spacing in the site their eggs x was horrible
They had so many players where there's the breach, you're so in utility with U2L out in hand that fighting together was difficult.
And fighting together is also going to be hard when there's utility chopping up the players.
Good trades.
Problem is, no back side control, not really any controls, this is up to Andre to win this round.
There's still the only two real rifles dropped as well.
It's a three on three.
Good thing is they don't have to worry about flank right now, I mean they do, kind of, with arts and smokes, but...
Wow, this smoke though did...wait.
Did Art Zin throw that? That is nasty.
That is a beautiful smoke for the judge player.
in that chaotic brawl on the site but con arts and those two keep it clean on this retake
and get the perfect start bonus no those are basically a eco that was eco i'm curious to see
because they four spots second round pinpointing on the basic right now we're just seeing good
defensive holds good defensive setups yeah the real test the trades have been decent here they do
end up in these 33 weird situations the thing is because they don't have any control backside
market they're getting retaken from both spots they're getting sandwiched on the
retakes but for basic I'm not worried if he can get entries I'm confident he can
my question is back to the issue you posed from earlier stage of this year
can the spacing be good can him and koala play off each other properly and
koala should be at all my god all my god he's gonna go for one he is
guaranteed. How is that missed? Did he flick right over his head? What a round from Jogamo.
What a round from Jogamo. But I mean, Furia had a ton of chances to try to bring this round
back at time. Everybody missed.
Sunset has always been one of Jaws best maps. When you look back through the history books.
Now an Omen old behind enemy like Toru.
Taking us back to that kickoff and taking us back to the Operator in his hands in this
shack though. Building into something here.
And doing it in a pregnant way as well so you can reset your mentality too.
That's killer shot went right between the lights. Are you fucked?
You watch that three times in slow motion
Wait did anyone see paper X game yesterday, did you guys see what happened to JJ's ult?
Have we figured out what the answer to that question is?
Quite have that bank built up
G2 have been showing us a lot of these fast rounds towards the B site.
You're slowing things down a bit more.
Spending time exploring towards mid.
Their comp has a lot of good ideas for being able to split through that next phase.
The real boss guy at the end of the front.
Walling off one side.
Cutting off anchors.
And slowing any rotations.
G2 have pinged the exact position of this yorub.
Oh boy.
And exactly what quality his idea is going to be.
cover goes down and the walter try and wait oh my god no one's watching it wait wait wait wait wait
wait why is no one looking at that why is no one looking at that smoke where else would he be
pick back up but there's another pistol around the corner g2 this was an easy win feeling it come
into it with no where else would he be where else where else would he be i think 90 percent of my
Chad is staring at that smoke, and not scaling the site.
Blue symptoms.
Little brain fog maybe?
Is that... I... Okay, look. I know why they paused.
They heard the neon alt, they paused.
I get it.
But why are we just so unaware of this smoke when they have pistols? And we know that they...
He had.
In the hands of Koala.
He picks his timing so well to speak out about the trend.
Of all people Trent getting off, cut off, cut off by that?
He had caught the chaos of the smoke.
Couldn't tell which way.
His opponent had gone.
It just makes it even worse that it's the same time the Fury are sprinting through AMA2.
So G2 have no way of keeping it composed in the comms either.
I think 3, 2, 1 the smoke obviously.
Obviously you 3, 2, 1 the smoke.
I don't get her sinned. Where, where is the communication? Where?
What is happening to this G2 roster?
They play up into B main already sliding on forward.
G2, let's listen to how they respond.
Go ahead and B long.
One more. Just keep holding. We're going to re-clear B and then go on day.
I don't have wall for hit, okay. Okay. Come back to A now guys. Yep. I'm gonna sky out
from A main area and we're just gonna hit. Okay, I heard. Give me some time to try. I'll
slow deep shot, okay. Can you ready a flash? Yes. Can you do this one? Okay, hold it and
I can just slide off this
3, 2, 1
2 going A, flash ready for short
Both of them short side
Can we go top mid to B?
Yeah, come back
Short 3, 2, 1
From A?
Canceled B, they're in short
2, 2
It's honestly a decent idea though
2A, 2A
Go B, go B, go B
Cp goba
Cp goba
Smoking your top mid
30 seconds left
woman's in bubble
left side default
left side default
last player standing
17, he's backside
I'm the left I think still
nope backside
12
yeah I was just sliding
The area just a beat G2 to the punch every single time
Getting boosted up on the wall, but then arts in as well being in a position that baby thinks. Yes. No business being in
It's so nice from them the time I put could have been better
It's exactly as well what they want to do is walk
He throws it out in a panic in the midst of that fight
Is it over cooked to call that wall and then mid-day split from for me. Oh, it's terrible call in my opinion
I mean you're trying to separate the egg guys. It's just
Basic quick on the return fire. It was a bit of a fake-out play from G2
You just can't have the first time neon. It's a spy. If in job you want to win this game
So now what?
Leaf one off res. Wow, you're a flusit
I guess they're gonna try and teleport straight into shy. That's not the wisest decision, but
Plays like these are trying come up with something
We've getting cute with it boosting up onto the box
Now it's to face the music already getting flanked by artsy, and this is all but a checkmate of a position
We fun assuming and it's a six round for furia
and it's a
Take over half
Not only with the new composition, but with them finding a way time Ryan and show him the scoreline
I think he's given up on each one already. I
Have more faith in eG making it a chance that he has a g2 doing anything at chance
This guy is one of the best offers we have in America's when you look at the beginning of the year
You look at the run-up
Yeah, I'm not even kidding your point. How'd you set that up?
That's crazy, but they could not put him on that when he was playing the neon when he was having to be the hard entry for this team
But in this composition though, all right
Okay
Again, you guys are gonna say I'm glazing g2, but past g2 is so good at mid-rounding
I'm telling you they are they really are something's wrong
like
Some all these this slump that they are in has caused
What I think is a lot of second guessing on everyone's part about how they play the game and
I think it's made them ten times worse than their actual level
I think into a getting a lot of space for the team immediately if you're taking the right timing on that re clear
G2 scattered net not mid rounding is catching up to them are that is the ultimate range of it
What is this guy does this brought up net full rifle rounds that aren't just like four spies with scraps
Yeah, certainly hurt them got started with that round to not even Jonah P. Just went straight to net this fight up into mid
early slow orb sent out but still quality was up in front of it with this
operator the aura can be devastating here a quick kill and teleport away you
kill leaf with the resum that is just the cherry on top but he gets hard
cleared six around a little bit too long and the drone is the second late just
second delayed I said that who's any earlier he would have lived but now it's
the best chance it around for G2 arts in though he loves to take these timings on
defense he loves to look for a pick
Jiggle it up into it 10 HP and a hard player from bigger ones at least so
Up the pause
Now because if they lose this 5-3
Holy fuck
He gave him two chances
He's good at it
This retake though is so difficult if you kill onto leave there's a chance but he's ready
Fury has been outgunning G2, in a lot of the key moments.
They've got to win out.
They have to get the 7-5 half minimum.
They always give you a few rounds where someone like Trent, someone like Jawa takes over.
That's out of like one Trent 3K.
That's been basically absent today.
Who's your early pick to win, Champs?
I still think Lev is the best team in the world.
They've already done the heavy lifting on that fight.
Got the headshot through the wall and then finished it off with the footshot.
Overall like four miles currently in terms of playstyle caught off last round
Still holding on to that tool. He'll be able to be left on an angle. Thank you, too
With the pressure the other side here on a
No, I like nunchin versus Lev would be insane pose problems
But I think more often than not I take love to win against in most series
They saw anyone else now. That's a tell with the dog coming in honestly even energy
Could be interesting as G2 still not in they've made down its jog about a slide on forward
hundred thieves like
On the other side of that corner jogmo. I mean they could obviously I just I'm just not sure
I now scout out all these players basic still alive back here and still holding it down
G2 forced their way back in that wall has been broken
now the reign of utility commences okay we've stuck on this they win this time
well she's not broke but and he is stepping right into their crosshair
wow you're you're just shit on these guys I taking these yeah she's gonna get to
vote there it's on to getting pinched by the entirety of G2 but they take the
initiative fight forward here instead arts in swinging into baby back and winning
that fight, but I can't help but point out the mistakes from G2 as well. The
spacing there was rough and crucially, despite there being a wall toward spawn,
Leaf chose not to go for the res, fought in with his teammates instead, hoping to
take advantage of the timing. And with that fight not going their way, it's
another round where that all doesn't come through, and it's another round where
Furia gets to continue to build momentum. We heard from JoshRT in the break that
He was disappointed with how G2 failed to fight together on Haven.
That was evidence in their 13-8 loss, and that round two, it comes in.
Top mid to B-split.
And Allen tries to consider sticking around with his better of it.
Nope, not doing that.
Just regular B-split.
He's better of it.
And G2.
No way pressure at all this round.
Wall up, trying to go back to that round that worked so well for them previously.
But this time, they don't have the free beyond Kualadu.
This time, he's right there on the angle.
Good stun.
Denies him the line, but still fury a hold on the back side and still he teleports out of there
Here you have five alive for the retake and it'll be sending time and G2 have no backside control trying to plant this
They do have market though taking a gun out of the fight in so it's okay
Fury a still stuck behind that wall for now
That's the first shot. Oh, hey Val and hold it down on trash
Pressure mounting pressure has Val and got two of them
even numbers now
For this post plan is to step back in G2 fighting forward G2 the jack of all trades in Trent
We'll claim another
Finally around where G2 managed to be the team taking initiative
There's an even match state
Back side this killer. I feel like it's gonna fall apart and then Don ends up getting to here somehow
Neon's got to trade this
Heroics in this position
Set these teammates up to refight back site together.
Ah!
Let's go, Trent.
Come on!
John Trent come through in that position.
And G2 starts to get their feet out under them.
Trent has those seekers ready to go again.
Just ready to pull it to this A site.
Tell you exactly where FuryHip could be hiding.
But FuryHip, three players here.
This could be dangerous if they choose to face into this.
Claw is in exactly the right position.
Slide across to scout him.
And that puts him very far away from his teammates.
On the teleport.
See how quickly G2 can work on in now.
Especially with Artsin just out here on the angle.
They're waiting for some kind of re-aggression.
Seeing Ifuria will dare to step up again.
The Dublin server is pretty easy.
See the tendencies and just how Artsin's moving.
This is a weird round now.
The operator has two players pinned in our bed. Oh god. The spike is trying to pressure rotate back towards the B site
You know trying to make it look like that split up quality miss and through market
Maybe they found a gas. It's not 3a though. Oh, you got a shot coming over on the A side
Now the rotate comes online for G2, but who's here? It's shy such a key position baby base there opposite on the other side
Oh, no, shy
Why turn you turn lights out?
G2 didn't stand a chance
Overcooking and just one guy
The blink of an eye will shut it down. Yeah
Wow
shy was a beast on map one. He still is here
Had no help in this position
They just sprays them down in kind.
Perfect timing on the one-way too.
Couldn't be better.
It's a flawless win for Fyria, and again G2 look...
Yeah, they just gotta keep it simple for this last round.
They would've B-split, just B-split, just do it at the start of the round.
That was defaulting shit when they have an op to play with.
The op's gonna slowly pick you off.
G2 clawed back for an 8-4.
Finish on Haven, it wasn't enough, but now they're gonna be grasping at straws.
Pushing B.
Oh my god, because I'm about to get flanked.
Oh, they're containing.
Look at this trip, by the way. Look at this trip set up from the shot.
They split market, they're getting hit by this trip.
Okay, they're faking it, they're going top mid.
No one's in any real danger of downing Ontario, though.
Who has been the man perfuria light inside of that smoke it's a dodge on the other side setting shy up for two
Still hanging around here on down camping on top of the spike
G2 know they have to get through him somehow
Somehow someone who's gonna show them
He has help now koala even getting more on the other side. This is brutal for G
I can't even find a fair fight. He has to try to run but control of B main this entire round another flash on in
As Valin said, straight into Kuala's waiting arms, this Furia team is so vitalized, they're so much fun to watch, and they have just dismantled G2 on the first half of Sunset.
This half was suffocating from Furia.
Koala's AWP comes back online with a new agent and the team fighting for them
looks excellent constantly being the ones to take the initiative right ahead of
when G2 is ready for and winning out at every chance. We are now on the
precipice you can feel the momentum riding behind Furia only four more
rounds to finish the job we'll be right back after this. Oh man G2 fucking
suck right now and not not to take away credit from fury if you're fury are
playing great with the momentum that they have but what the shit am I
watching from g2
This guy is just owning. Shy is literally frying right now. Pure Cypher gameplay, gotta
watch this one back. Yeah, it's not it. Whatever is going on mentally for them right now is
not it. I don't want to be rude or anything, but as a fellow PaperX diehard fan, I just
want to know what your opinion is on the recent performances and the chances of making trips.
Alright, let me make something very clear. PaperX has always had the exact same issue
and it's cost them multiple finals and it's cost them big like games versus teams that are technically worse than they are if you look at it on paper and
That is
The amount of rounds that they choose to throw away
Due to throwing away easy like picks
They get the advantages. They're playing better for 70% of the round and the other 30% is abysmal
They've had the same issue this entire time
But they get away with it because they could out scale the opponent and there are clutch players on the team that end up winning like 1v4s and shit to bring rounds back.
If they can somehow get over fixing those things, then of course they would be a better team.
But they're not going to get away with it over and over again, like doing this.
4. Missing the final...
3 peaks onto people at 5 degrees.
Giving teams chances back into rounds that they have no business winning.
We know Baby Bay loves to jump out here on these forward lines in mid.
And he lands his shot. That's a good start. These pistol rounds...
With a lifeline for G2.
Back on Haven. They'll need another.
2-2, they play high risk. It's fine to play high risk, but when you have advantages, you
should play set advantages. You don't continue playing like it's a 5v5, and you need info.
They don't give a fuck, they just keep playing like, ones, ones, ones, ones.
Two and jogging straight in front of the stone returns one in kind G2 winning necessary pistol
Finally shows out the new neon player slides past that stun
It picks up the last two kills of the pistol
The pistols were pretty much all G2 had on map one
It's both up there
Still was not enough losing out 13 to eight
their lives on the line to get this one done and
Phyria stick to the classic she do they've been good in these anti and believe
in the comeback here those are the rounds at least it haven't gotten out of
control um kind of depends on if they can get bonus it's not that I think Phyria
just I'm taking this look from Phyria side seeing what points they can poke and
prod especially for someone like baby Bay you want to know the best places on
map to step forward once you get that off in your hands back to backgrounds of
vid for him and he saw that teleport go back to spawn so it's a great read from
baby bay seeing that TP out and now knowing that it's gonna be that split
over towards the A side good work from G2 keeping it so clean not a lick of
damage there until the end nicely done is there bonus in the cards but this is
the test now. Furia have their guns online they get to show us what they're cooking with this
composition. And I think they have a lot of options. The fast execs for the urutipi. Why do we
keep watching this? Follow up with a slide from basic are very difficult for anchor players to deal
with. And I think it's especially strong against a g2 composition that has this sage that really
relies on stalling people in choke points. Getting a player that can guarantee go past that.
Pretty obvious play here from the chamber on a bonus.
Artsyn?
When you're putting yourself in a position where they can fight you from two spots, I
don't understand.
Orbs still in the back pocket for leave. Yeah, right now if you have to hold their ground and allow shy to continue advancing over by B
But can they even get to him if he finds this space G2 haven't suffocated well
Hard for them to get out of a main, but they could fight forward
Hard to when they're getting
Nipped at the heels right now and still have to pick that spike back up G2
I can't.
Okay.
I can't.
It's like you have crafted a maximum pressure, a full-court press round that is completely
bamboozled FURIA.
Didu went for a lot of these aggressive walks at the start of Haven on their defense.
It found success early in that half but-
I mean just put Cypher mid with a camera and your-
That's where the latest FURIA picked them apart.
If you-
If they break the can, they're in middle, it's fine, he gauges across, then you can do
your A-ship.
So sort of joint maneuver stepping forward they ended up just letting leaf walk up on his own a whole lot more
That's when it started getting beaten when they weren't working together
But here this mid-walk that's three players
Stepping into the space together
Even if you don't hit the first shot, you're gonna find the trade.
If there is a team that plays slower attack sides, but very often has a gap like that
They're super reliant on shy being a solo lurker. Yeah, oftentimes in 4-1 setups
It was on Haven. It was here as well. This to me feels like a clear read from G2.
Man, they did bonus them pretty cleanly here.
In the early hours and walk into space.
Shall all be able to get a knock in his hands over our Andre?
Good, because if you're your foreman, you're the highest the lurker.
His job is really hard, especially if you want to lurk actively,
because you can't just drop your camera in mid and have that fully
giving you information the whole time.
If you're actively trying to step forward into B,
it means that if you want to have info,
one place at least you have to be fighting.
That always opens up a...
I love the dramatic footage of the coach, coach pressing the button.
Just sad way to win, lose the bonus though, not going to lie.
Your omen dies in the middle of tiles.
Looking at two spots.
their adjustment after seeing they have a field day in the last three rounds is
let's just go there and with a little bit of a gusto behind it to begin to run
him out of the map but they've been already repositioned and what you're
likely gonna see is a quick door close from leaf and fully seating over this
midspace there it is G2 not looking to contest it so put a little pressure
towards a get that dog up very active on the extremities here he's sticking around for it too
still feeling himself on the anti-eco but that's where some of the danger was back on haven was
just double senty mv it's so hard to do anything they're slowed no matter what we'll split play now
deep into popo reaching a little bit for something transcott his teammate elif is holding down market
basic the last one here with 13 health to his name spikes still controlled by
leap so all things considered g2 answer gonna be cool guy very nicely I thought
that little landing from Trent pulling out the sheriff so he has better wall
pan on a jiggle guarantees the kill true this round was different g2 after
showing these very active rounds in mid returned to just playing for the
extremities post baby bay on one side have to say you told me other make it
difficult for fury to try anything fast on you the two challenges fury of face
in a game like this is really set up there avoiding it completely but stage
slows and walls allows the rotates to come in maybe even a triple flag
is going to be baby base chamber so far it's been different ideas from g2 to set
him up and right now they've dodged him for the time being pass today hold yeah
but this is what I mean by it's hard to lock down both mid and B as the solo
cypher already walking forward without insta breaking that wall
eventually give a chance for leaf to swing he doesn't find anything off it
though now if you're you have to make the choice they
I just did
I've been for ages re-created and they did that
war doesn't quite find that yet
through the wall 29 health on arts and
that is major it keeps smokes
on the table
oh my god
oh my god back into be now
right on the other side of this pillar
wow has no idea
shies came from earlier in the round was already
broken
and all the timing taken but shy
well
But shy we'll take a scalp for it
Still just playing inside these pixels of the cages. He's just dead eat challenging. It's a little bit ambitious from shy
And now baby they revealed
Kill man. He marked arts in earlier in the round through the target on his back finally sends him packing
Smoke baby that is fighting shots. He has no business hitting one left
for the off. Waiting for another step in. G2 knowing they have numbers in Valin, my goodness
man. Alright, son. We have a game. Now Furia are forced to have to play fast. Against double
sensei.
He's not only just come off cool down there, he had to run back from main and replace that.
But G2 showing some good stuff there.
A very proactive defense.
You saw the style you took to clear into mid.
Make sure Bay-De-Bay always had a forward position, even after he was pushed away from
B-Nane.
If Euphoria want to play this slow style, G2 have proven that they can create problems
in the mid-round.
I think it's Gigi, guys. I don't know if Gigi or Fury can do anything against Double
sensei and an opt to deal with and so much delay. I think the only way g2 lose this game
now is getting it randomly aggressive and getting one to one.
member here he plays his elbow position perfectly slow or down another
collage onto the neon and then a re-swing in with ballon I've had some
criticism I knew some bullshit what's happening now good shit hey they use all
their alts okay exactly but leaf I think he struggled sometimes with getting
value of the alt looking a little uncomfortable on that stage that elbow
position though he's always been excellent loving the boosted lines and
Now, Firiya, separating a little bit.
One for B main, one for B main.
I mean, I don't know how you push this guy back
other than him walking to you across there
or fully missing.
And as that flash plate comes in,
we'll force the teleport away from Kuala
and Firiya have to figure out where to go from here.
Com's already, oh no, he hasn't used drone yet.
He's out of range of his TP.
Okay, they're gonna drone him out.
It's a hard angle to clear him from.
This time, no shot found.
Drone broken as well.
I'm not even sure if he thinks this is a real head a pressure that to be pressure to push the op back
Encourages G2 to still stay where two players on the A side while shy takes mid control
Not bad, but that crossfire is good. Well, then we'll then again. There's a lot of delay here a tough crossfire to clear
Scampering away now. Do you call that be?
Shai has been there, he's got to be at everything in this room.
Wow.
A back to B, back to A, back to B.
Dead.
But again, a lot of delays still.
18 seconds.
There is no time for you. You have to fight you have to do something
Find me like this plant as the kills are all they got it out of nowhere
Free bodies drop furious Wow have isolated Valin Wow, they got it
I cannot fathom fury a winning that round a five on five the time was so low
It's almost like G2 started panicking with a try to get that make sure they don't get the bomb down with the op on the right
He has to hit that shot.
He has to hit that shot.
Great kills by Kuala, man.
Fury knew how much that ran then to them.
G2 knew it as well.
And not hitting those critical shots could be the difference now for G2.
their backs. Normally against the wall once more. Fury, at this time, had broken that early crossfire.
You're a waltz again. It's a great tool for this A-exec.
G2, they're forced to respect this, have to fall away.
A complete turn of pace, but now without their neon. Fury, I have to clean this out.
3, 4, all spammed by the way, they did not see anyone.
And now the dog to come out to make sure the quality can't step forward and
The middle are kelled from baby. They I think that's just you back to business as usual
G2 of pages has to be you know high flash now
G2 just bite their time right
Well, I antsy
And I sleep on the corner quick on the turn
No one to come in for support as that Rez should make this impossible
Koala new
Shifts away seven bullets in the chamber
And there's still no spike plate if the spike was down. There should be a completely different story
As it stands G2 can hold their breath take their time
G2 with a high-low set up he wants to pick before he plants he needs a pick he's got to have it
Hard to adjust you
Oh no!
Don't know if two health will be enough,
has to go for the safe plant, still baiting it out.
And now he's given up the round.
Leaf charging forward to him,
still gets the spike,
Plank gets the teleport away.
Where could he be?
But it's not planted far.
He's just sick of it.
Yeah, Leaf is just gonna hold this one down.
Call an A, we'll just revive with the rifle.
And we are turning this four.
Very nice, right.
What a recovery from T2.
That round looked nigh perfect from them
on this a hold and it's just coming off as spam I mean come on they fell back to
expect the Yoru what they get two kills anyway but the point of the round is
important to me is that pick in mid shy has been such a problem in the light
rounds on both maps now and here baby a the one to come out on top of that
affair hold on to the space no wall see there this is so hard for you man the
chamber is so so difficult for them this being in the right position in the
They have like I guess I mean they have a shitty buy later, but this is their main buy
They lose this round it's over and they have to deal with three ults and all this delay and an op with one initiator
I think the only way they win is playing the round the same way they played it before there's like quad fake they did
Just constant control back and forth
Round ends at like 10 seconds left left actually
They avoided baby made up
They avoided baby made it feels like G2 have a mid read but it's just not
You're afraid to make it all the way into the same size especially with balance
You're right down the fast-firing clone eats up the first bullet. And now balance on the other side
G2 walk it down
That's now and now for sure GG. I realize this is every single. Oh my god. Matthew. He's a best
Can I go to bed like a mile away?
You just walk straight into the meat grinder
And G2 from nine to three down
Are about to take the lead in this map
That's absurd. This team was on the ropes. There were four rounds. I'm gonna send 11 some from
Well done at the half time of hoping crying
The other top teams would win out make the finals and give them a spot in champs
But they have to concede
Another opportunity to win an America's trophy to make it to a stage final if they've never missed before
The snowballs in this game are too funny, bro.
And now they're in control now. It's fury of it has to call a timeout
Fury who hadn't had said they weren't feeling the pressure throughout the day
You know they come into this day of nothing to lose whatever once you look at that good on map one once you go up
And nine three in the first half you might not feel the pressure then but now the G2 have come all the way back
Oh boy, you definitely got something to do with attacking on this mess
Thanks, we go to lack of utility against two senties
That's that's basically it and then they the way they got bonus was embarrassing to say the least
The way they got bonus my omen is dying in tiles like how's that even possible?
But of course the chamber is getting aggressive mid. Why are we even in tiles and?
So they lose pistol they lose bonus and all of a sudden the chamber has free reign and be main so
They got to play the rounds the same way. They got to do that like a control back to be control with the drone
Back to a control and then be split late. I think this is the only way to win the rounds
Because they have to bait out utile from both sides
And push back this chamber. So there's just too much you have to get done
Efficiently to be able to get the bomb down
So damn good on defense
only a single round here on attack, but they've had their time out, right adjustment's ready
to be made and Furia choose to force in here, they have a pistol and a stinger, only 3 rifles,
but no way they're going to be able to do it, so Furia's doing what G2 thought they were
doing last round, put a 12th on the board, so it's another slow start, Furia works base
in mid this time threatening a pop-through off a yoru flash
Jogging though, just giggling on the line for now, fast lane, denies the shot
Jogging's considering stepping into this one, this is a mad round from Fury, both of us
They did not clear shy by the way, he's still tucked in as this pinch is coming in
Yeah and Leaf has walled himself off so he only has to look this one direction
even though it's a pinch play, he still knows exactly where Fury are gonna be coming from
still has a nasty off angle to swing into basic is out of this round and fury
we're not activating now shy tries to do something in mid tries to win out on
some other front of the map a little bit too small here to make the difference
and it's another spam kill over on the ace side. Oh no, they're back off the side.
It has to be cancelled because the spike is out in the open G2 have done it again.
I like furious read there. Troy and Pop through top mid they blew the
I'm lucky this...
Thank you for the throw.
Manchester City is winning the crowd.
Red Russ, thank you for the 5 gifts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Ending the game with B-pop.
Troll and run him down the second he gets pinged.
Asgore at the end of the prime.
up in the face of G2
ultimate online
I fear you want to step forward
get an advantage
trying to catch the leaf and job before they can get this retake underway
already revealed those good counters done in Jokimo
not wasting a moment
quick into it now teleport to the other side and G2 are underway
so some crosshairs need to be broken
the ballon is just about perfect
it is calm down
G2 have clawed this game all the way back
They will not be silenced here on Sunset! We're heading to map 3!
That is an unreal comeback from G2!
This started off in Sao Paulo for them.
The Ascension Squad that chose to stay together, deny opportunities, they bounce back into this one.
They stand this way, we head down to Rift with G2.
I got down right after the game G2 keeps the series alive talk to me man look
Astrofield there what were you guys able to do to keep this going to a base I
mean we have a really defensive comp we knew just one out of the time we can
make it work also this interview is pretty dope I'm there they do after a
map as you can tell I'm I'm hyped so let's get this map three I got nothing
else to say get out here get with the team good luck all right we got another
map to go on this is the next one online you're not gonna want to go
anywhere it's VCT America's back after this.
Round review segment? I don't know if it's any rounds I really want to review. I guess
Next we can review um the first round Furia ended up winning where was it here right okay
Okay, so this is post timeout, I'm pretty sure.
The fact that they take a main control because they have overwhelming utility, right?
They take a main control at the start, is that the start actually?
Right, and they only use dart, which is very, very important.
Yeah, and then they have Omen holding B push, they have Cypher holding mid with a camera.
So everything is covered right now.
This is what they should have done on the anti-eco, right?
The round where Ardzin died for free, I'm sorry, on the bonus.
This is what they should have done.
They should have Cypher, trip, trip, and then camera middle.
If the cam breaks, then you know they're in middle.
Cypher goes all the way back around instead of risking going tiles, and these guys are
way more aware they could high low holding this if they want to. Anyways, so they have everything
covered, they know chamber plays B and they know these guys potentially might fight A.
So they get rid of that option. Yoru and Neon baiting any type of trap.
Trap comes in, they get pushed back all good. Right? That's extra utility you have baited out.
Moment is still holding B here
You still haven't lost any space freely all you've done is put pressure which is good, right?
He's and then calm goes back and
Redrones to push this guy back these guys got pushed back already, right? They could still deep have the steep line
But these guys got already pushed back. It's fine if they have this line though not the end of the world
Now calm goes back and pushes this one dude back. They're very confident. He's here
Doesn't even care. It's a hard hit only seeing the soap this time. No shot. So the drones get
registered of him broken as well. I'm not even sure if he thinks this is a real hit. Okay.
Shy has taken the midspace using his camera. This entire time they've done the a pressure
into B pressure, etc. So he's done his job. He's chilling now only seeing this over there.
Now, they go back at a minute left, right?
And I've told you guys this a million times.
The later you throw a fake,
obviously this is dependent on how deep
the opponent is into the mains,
but the later you throw a fake on a site hold,
the more convincing it is that it's the actual hit
and it'll cause rotates.
Encourages G2 to still stack forward
two players on the A side.
So he used Dart A main early,
then drone B, then goes back and redarts it with two duelists taking it.
The last crossbar is good. Front will be faster rotating. This is...
This is how you bait out mistakes. This kind of default is how you bait out mistakes.
Because around this time, players on defense are always going to try to figure out like,
okay, what site are they hitting? And as attackers, you know they don't have mid info
and they don't have B info. So they're just gambling something right now.
right? These guys don't actually know what's going on. That late, Jogamo sees them at 45
seconds, they're coming A. So now it's a pretty convincing A hit, which is why Trent
is around this area. Look at this, they think it's an A hit. Guaranteed they think it's
an A hit. Now, in my opinion, Shai could have taken this timing and gone for this
kill and it would have been even more convincing it's an a hit right like as
his team is faking this shot could have scampering away now but it's fine it's
so hard it sounds like they're going to but they're still baby they on this side
and look at this look at like the positions of the defenders this is a
guaranteed you will get at least the bomb down this is a back breaking round if
Now again, this delay and the fact that he kept his sage wall for that long is pretty
insane from Leaf, honestly.
And basically almost won his team the round with the amount of delay he was able to cause.
But because Furious timing was really good, they didn't go too too late, it was fine.
And then this right here, this pause, it's fine guys, we still have 18 seconds, we have
plenty of time to get the bomb down.
And Omen getting this whole space right here and not dying at B main.
It's just very hard, even in these positions with 4B, for G2 to stop these guys from like,
They have to basically run them down or try to run them down
If they want to get one down
See what I mean? So like
They should have stuck with this formula the entire game
The entire rest of the game they should have stuck with this exact default they just ran
but
They went back to some random shit.
interchance because of these scenarios
moving into the top four of Sao Paulo.
Yeah, the champions point situation is
not exactly steady ground for G2
and of course Furia can't be
depending on that at all.
One thing's for sure, Furia had been the
pace setter across both of these maps finding
success on that haven and it took
G2 digging deep to fight back
now to feeling the energy, now to feeling the crowd.
Right games are in, are you feeling the energy?
Do we have G2 moving forward?
forward!
Indigene 2 fans!
Oh, it's probably more than a few of your fans!
They have fewer fans in the house!
Oh, crap, the underdogs
continue to rain!
Alright, you guys, would you like some swag?
Okay, maybe it's over for that.
We'll be back with our casters in just a moment
for now. We're going to hang out with the crowd. Thank you, guys!
So we'll try to do one of those per map.
And I'm going to usually pick one round so I can go into the heavy detail in the run.
I know completely off this game, but you can check GE vs BL, split round 20, one is a good
round so I've seen.
Number three furia and g2 going the distance and for furia. This has to be unsettling
I'm streaming FC 27. I haven't played a fucking game and so
G2 have turned the series around now. It's fury facing all the pressure is a fury that
Came into this year with the best result ever for the organization
They won and kick off against g2
But back then that was the last time a base was in the pool and G2 they were good on this map with 3-0 at the first
Masters of the year on this double duelist comp with Bay Bay on the way
Like I think there's a lot of questions of where they want to go now that the meta has changed
Maybe it's great when he's playing the champion
You'd love to see him on that this map
But if there's still questions as to how you slot all the different roles and especially for a guy like Lee
If you play double-roller probably has to slide into the fucking abyss
Disgusting to choose roles have been weird all year because of the shifting meta and timing two guys
Hey, what's the M.E.A. finals? No promises
No promises because I got eight back tonight
Into EMEA if I watch that which I'd highly doubt into fucking Americas
The exact same from G2. They didn't lose at this composition at the beginning of this year. They do not intend to
In this one again, it's gonna be interesting to see Baby Ray back on the dive duel. This is gonna be a long time
The way back, skip, they're back
Start of this stage right when they came in after uh that that master you'd have to skip one of these
I'm not watching all three. End up coming in and trying to have Baby Ray play the chatter the way on these different maps
They oh that's in five days. What am I tripping for? Sorry on the abyss. That's exactly where they want them on the other side
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, we can do this
Phoenix now slots into the way like oh what the fuck second dive duelist okay the day
After debuting is neon on map number two of this series
Sure
I thought I into the harbor arts in on that sure
And a very
Both teams with the same read on how they want to play this now, and I apologize in advance
I promise I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it because there's no a pack. There's no a pack
There's no a pack guys
Why wouldn't I do it if there's no a pack in this series after just being the Phoenix guy?
Like if you look at the staffs during plans, you know, what's annoying? I'm gonna show up tomorrow
It's just gonna be a bunch of oh my god. I can't actually I can't believe he actually showed up
I actually can't even believe it. You guys are idiots
These guys do list they're naturally picking up way more kills. So now he joins the back
This is another new debut for him in his career. He has never played. Sorry guys. I see it up playing ranked
I have a problem not three
I'm not gonna play off. Yeah, that's where he says it. I will play ranked tonight, but I will not play all night
All right, I will get enough sleep like I'll go to bed around 2 a.m. And we'll wake up 3 and yet for sure
This was the wild card map neither team knew what the comp should be coming in
Here you play something completely different G2 stick to what brought them three wins
back in Santiago
And now have to bank on that to stay alive here in the postseason
These are two of the best America's teams on this map
Really?
The last time it was played
We'll only get to see it from a single team again in this stage
Smoke on top site, you're gonna watch the Lele double dash into it. That'll be basics job whenever fury attack the A side
And this is how G2's always played it. They like these set retakes. They like Trent shipping away with the shock darts
It's gonna be a full five on five shy on to health
Paulinew right up on the other side of this smite 5v5 retakes eat a fucking dick
Waiting for the plant waiting for the util to escort G2 into this retake, but koala new untouched
But I mean, Fury was way more than ready for that, it just took too long to retake there,
it was obvious where they were coming from. They literally hear them running.
Ooh, mid default antico.
didn't get that too weak, Braithy, didn't get that time to reset and let it to the playoffs.
It was even worse for G2 who lost to Furia in those plans, had to go through that lower
bracket.
Haha, you shot.
G2 just not finding anything here on the long range duels.
really question basics mechanical skill this guy has played everything the team
has asked her at a very high level you've been not not too lost I was
impressed with this neon should be clean he was pathing with the team it's
confidence in the way he took duals such a pickup for them so it's hard to learn
too much but if you're G2 after around let's just drive them safe safe basic
Good start for those guys.
Why no jump? Because they're fucking idiots, I don't know.
It just makes it impossible to really there's literally no reason not to just jump off in that there's whatever
We don't have heavy sport so it'll come down to a lot of late-round team fights as the defenders try and play retake
Walla just walking down the mid here. That is such a fucking huge go things, but liking their odds
Caught go all asleep in there
And still say back to be this is a hard round to win that for here. Yes, someone's got to be here earlier
G2 in front of it. Well, I see any time the fast lane to my god. Great. You tell her great yourself and Joe
Saturates big base fantastic play by the newest take the opening fight
Furia a little bit scattered here and was only one way on the site napping the spike carrier
It'll be hard for period to make any sort of headway, especially when Jogma has the trades every time
three already on the rounds
As G2's duelists make quick work of furia
really nice cleanup from g2 they got aggressive in the mid round there which
I mean if koala every single map this is if koala ends up getting that kill changes
everything like they are able to exec be a lot better they would have one less
duelist to be able to do what he just did on that flood and they get that post
plant it's it's just a one round I think I think that kill just instead
decided who wins the round.
As they've tried to slot into these new double duelist looks, I think what they've often
struggled with is eating co-op at the base to succeed because Com is always going to
be back darted.
Our team is always going to be back when he's playing the Astra.
You look at other teams who play more Omen who have a third player always seeping in instead
it's him back, it's Shyona lurk somewhere else, and it's really just those two that
have to get the job done alone.
Yeah, Furia were always struggling to find the trades during that open back to middle for Furia
Which is over to the Phoenix and all is always second entry right behind koala becomes so easy
But it switched up roles similar to my CP top
found no success on attack
It's basic first in and it's koala being tasked to be that second one
Even sometimes they'll be teleporting into positions where he won't be with the rest of the squad. I
Like these more aggressive smokes in mid from G2 very often
You'll see attackers well down from well valley there and block this face up
And really give us the didn't really give a fury any space ensure that they hold that space early on
Obviously they could still be around in this middle area ready to walk up as they'd like pressure something just investing
You know one of those smokes holds on for about 15 seconds
Well, it stops you're a from posting up and early in better doing much of anything like
Yeah, you got so lucky just so
They pressure into A Pressure with the drone and then they're going back B.
Oh, eee, they know. And he gets the entry. They know and he gets the entry.
And now they're going back to A because B is so obvious. I mean, the A call is correct.
guess what G2 haven't rotated off that side either
they didn't leave
this is good from child though
they just add extra angles to the B re-clear
and now feve on that high line trying to track the waylay
not the easiest thing and pinged up too so some heavy pressure on the anchors
Trent blocked out can't stand through this he might try and drop in this he's
crazy easy to fuse quiet sliding down the rope
well handled by G2
we're already diffusing that was just two players retaking the site
But G2 knew that Furia were lopsided. They had players way behind them.
Over towards B.
I like the cancel to go B there though. I do like the cancel.
Furia were very aware that was too obvious of a B hit.
So faking it was better.
Nice shot.
and when g2 are getting proactive at challenging those extremity players like they did against arts in this round
thank you boy nice trend good boy trend all righty we really didn't mean to play that
well we we have now so we basically lay out wow baby bay what a duo uh they bought never mind
they got good guns they actually i think he's gonna use this from i really think he's gonna use the
the way they ought this round. Keeping it simple with a full APOP here. Harbor, neon,
high, low. With Sova dart coming.
What a weird Harbor wall.
away baby they is already here on the flag
theory of no way you would just hit them
they spent everything to try and get this
two pound and it means absolutely nothing
in the quick rotates in the stack of g2 all right so no
only two players whatever the fuck that was this one back into control to try and get
anything out of their investment last player shot immediately gone by valonis nice shot man
Executes them both nice fucking shot clean on that hold
That was a your walt and a waylay off those are tools that will not come back anytime soon
They got this man looked like this a fast flood off of that harbor wall
Did you fighting together so well?
And again a problem for me is made
Fury have not once been able what a great a hold to threaten and rotate the advantages of having double controller
You have asteron b so if they pop b you pop smokes everywhere just delay as long as you can
With people rotating into flood and then same thing at a with harbor
You just throw a weird harbor wall and then now you just have created your own bomb site essentially
And you just constantly delay and you have the sova dart enderone that they have to worry about
Pretty hard to deal with you can actually hold bomb sites that way
I
Got to be coming up with more
And you have to look back at still fucking sucks though furious sure they've been lights out in the play-ins, but
This team
Has a lot of players that are just stepping in basic a young guy who he's been a phenom
Oh, it's very. Thank you for this squad in his year in America's
But it starts to get more real when you can tell you how to do these also play solo harbor as solo harbor
The reigning america's champs the team that always goes on these deep runs. I think they'll do what an rg does
Come into an unknown now
And struggle to get your feet out under you yet again. Yeah, I think they'll do double controller starts to get you're in 2026
I don't know if it's it might be like viper omen or something
It's turned right changing of the guard
So the spheria eclipsing g2 back in
Plans or of course leviaton going on that
amazing run in London and yet when it gets to this critical moment in America's playoffs
it is always G2 that step up.
Sofuria try and solve mid.
They trade the double smokes this time they get Koala into a forward position.
But G2 they're happy to give up this space.
Bay Bay on Trent both passive lines.
Drones should miss in here.
Well to try and flush him out.
Pull back on the star.
Leave Jock exposed.
Oh, it's on.
And the drone spotted the player in mid.
So now the hit comes in unsupported with any kind of a split.
They're fine.
G2 don't have pressure on their flank.
They can focus entirely forward.
Oh my god, Jargon, what just takes a spot?
Slides over to the other side, still alive on site.
They're traged, though, for Furia.
I found a couple, but baby base still poses problems.
Still holds onto this space, invites his team to rotate back.
Great counter-util from G2, though.
Like really, really good.
Arden has to focus on flank here.
So it's basically G2 on the side.
the G2 have reset and come in quick on the trades shy of their own position forcing
furia away from the site putting cover down onto the spike they can start to
stick this one furia need to take this fight forward a pole star is their only
layer of defense and Trent is right behind it now the harbors
Valin was a menace just a round ago now it's shy to calls his bluff what a gutsy
call after G2 stick 3! Well done brother!
shy calls Valin calls his shot and ties things up that's so sick from shy
Valin's waiting for the swing waiting for the moment but shy just holds his
nerve why are you guys saying well played go well played if Valin
diffuses there you're typing question marks his impact on map one back on Haven
some big plays even on the loss in game two I think he's struggled a little in
his individual form despite this resurgent for a furia despite them
coming back into their form here he takes over just confused he's been dialed
today Valor just stuck there it's over
Bit of a reset for Furia and a delayed walkdown mid from G2.
Artsin is fully exposed to you. There's no assistance whatsoever.
There's Stone. Does this angle really that? It's a bad defense side of it?
Little snap on back there. Scouting from the drone.
Not bad information. It's the second time now where G2 have gone for that play.
The triple walkdown mid. And the second time that they've gotten success off of it.
So again, they're in this position where they lose Artsin early off of Reclare.
And I'll have to try and navigate a mid-round. This is where they've really struggled
Yeah, luckily for them. They do have that second smoker
So shy can do that with the harbor set up his teammate even from cross map
Big benefit is they try to sell this fake over on the A side koala already into the site
Now dodges away just eating up time and getting rotations leap has left the B site has opened up
And here's what's that turns around
No, he did not get that kill.
What a big kill on basic there from Leith.
Not 1v3 on no health good
That'll be the first no where he is entrenched patient with it. We'll study the course
Very good awareness from G2 in this round
Leap sticking around on B
That's how he was so close
But fury excels just a bit too quickly. Yeah, and this is the critical moment getting that punish
Basically gets that kill there's no one else near anywhere near be and they just get the book close play for free
Making sure they check every box
That is the throw G2 that we know that is the middle is good there. You just have to get the kills in this region
Absolutely, I guarantee you there was someone on that a site that figured it out
Why is he made I think he's receiving back right has to be a fake and I
Know to stick around so now on the
He's trying to play G2 still playing aggressive. Oh my god, what a call usually the inverse
You told God what a coffin, but it's been the mantra G2's all day, and it's gorgeous
Baby they hanging out
They TP back up into heaven. Is that where you just put that?
Shoes is not to prime it
Seize the gun chucked out and he is all done hunt
That's gotta sing
What a pace change
Yeah, that's an anti-eco, but the call there is excellent from G2
There's so much power
To team fight to go aggressive. You have a hinder when you have a stun
Look at how much is a flicking these players as they try and hold on towards fun
And now G2 not only
Keep the momentum going. What are you defense after me?
This is gonna be the most important round of the half
Fury have their tools G2 have theirs as well and they're running it back
This time no one there to receive in this deep one way
Arts will figure that out tell us seem to accelerate on a
Harbors playing on them whether or not
Revealed up and is out of the picture now and G2 have abandoned
Okay, this is gotta be a fury right now
Oh, what a shot
Now they have to worry about flanking
Dragoon has the unal
Yeah, that's a big play. That was a big play from Com
on every front, shy, again in the one on three.
And again, there's nothing he can do about it.
There was rounds like this on map one,
where it was close, retakes were all touring play,
and the one on one's.
No, I mean, Arzen, it comes down to that,
the flight being open there.
That was always fury coming out of the top.
The flight being open,
Jorna has to look at it.
It was so good at pushing towards bomb,
blowing up these rounds.
Outdoor G2.
And everyone is separated, taking their ones.
That was third map, they have come online.
That's a straight up 101 that Trent wins.
Oh my god!
He actually shit on him.
dips into the operator creates another threat for a fury that already has had
practically no presence in mid this half
and when you play slow that's when that off is gonna bite you
T2 ran so many of these fast books that fury are just so tense you can feel it in
the way they posture on the map playing fine overall in the mid-round it's just
They're losing the early picks and when they do get them they just get traded
That was close that was very close B-pop neon C or Astros here
Hey good song good dark break. Very good dark break actually
I've been waiting for a look at the stall here though. It's completely stalled out fury and still he's alive
From above
Punishes fury for their still up in numbers
Still baby bait ratting it out inside of it all with the off and no less
Kent advances on the flank only 20 out to his neighbors in exactly the light position
this round was furious wow what the fuck how has john big job and jargobot
done that no help to his name the stall was really good from leaf and jada has
to worry about them coverage for every single day it's from above again baby
they strikes down show me that one somehow g2 gets out of that round and it
It comes down to a few names.
The first is Jaw.
His work on the site was sublime.
Yeah, he played it perfect.
Great smokes, great Util.
Great support of Util for Leaf.
Why would I want to see his...
But the aster-wall up Trent was in a fast one on this fight.
Get back into this round and get involved in the team fight.
There's something about Jaws and playoffs.
Sure he has a horrible haven.
I mean, 7-3 defense guys.
It's not looking good.
It's do or die.
It is not fucking looking good.
That's when you remember who this guy is.
For Furia.
Like, not at all.
at the trajectory of G2 this time as you see a direct correlation to Jogamos' performance.
Cross these three maps.
Also looking up further than which coaches are calling the timeouts.
It was Josh Arteida that had to call both timeouts in the first half at Haven now in
the critical moment.
Furia called two before the 11th round.
You can see that strap.
Call this performance?
Yeah, he's getting pretty...
He's getting fried, but I mean...
Knowing what this means to his team.
These close plants have to do better.
But I think I have to credit G2 more than anything else.
The U2 has been really, really, really, really good for G2 in these side hits.
The counter U2 is so solid.
Every single hit has been delayed and players on the attack side have been separated.
Because of a wall, because of 40 smokes.
They're gonna go both way up A main wall.
Exactly, but you tell us time to really wall.
Alright, so the adjustment is go mid.
Go mid and split instead.
So the rotates are not something you have to worry about at that point.
Tommy Cease by spotted
dangerous
More bodies get called back in from Furia
Okay, so early mid pressure into a B pop so they tried this earlier, and then they got so withdrawn right quality
We've got so adroined in TP away. They have great information
And all the time that Furia spent working into mid. What a fucking shot
Similar shot that a leaf hit on Arzen still though the bonus rockmo will be here
That's Astro while gone too.
Well done.
Well done.
Well done.
Well done.
Sephury up
There's jogs there's less a g2 tap on the spike. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
I think he knows just like you yeah, they got a chill a couple of shocks is all that they gotta wait
They got away. Oh, oh
Don't move going from behind. They can't see him. No
justice back
I got around the corner and no trenches back into it. Just what is that?
Trent, I don't know. I see time. It won't be there and see good soul
Oh my word! Furious stay alive, but at what cost?
If Jha had been able to half there.
Yeah, if he was able to half, I mean, they win.
That's a one round for G2.
Great try on that retake though.
That was Furious Force.
This retake is so, so difficult and they did a 3d5 almost.
But I can't help but feel like a 3 on 5 that this round shouldn't not have been so close.
I'm losing my saturate.
And he's right that was the moment if he had dropped it in onto those two players
It wouldn't matter the time was gone once a jugmo died and didn't have it would not have mattered
I'm not a half now period still on
Whatever they can get whatever they can scrounge up after losing five in the previous round and back to the mid control
Put some added pressure on G2 and koala noob in particulars taking so many liberties, but never
I thought it was at like right after casualty 12
Maybe I'm not gonna get it wrong with his team through the play-ins. It was so clutch for them there
He's showing up again in these important rounds
Just as everything no it was after okay, so what are we talking about?
Ask you to point to a week. That's actually would have made zero difference once y'all was dead. It was over
The solution
Sure, you want this space, but at what cost?
Another round where they're losing players early in mid another round where there was a lot of time left in this map over
It actually hurts me that you're myself by B3 by
You need to go to the walk down and yet with limited time G2
Have now
Wrapped up furious in Maine, and that's why you don't do it
Give an opening back in a gun to be picked up from calm, but that's a lot of time to go chasing down a rifle
crunch time now
75 hats the fury are hoping for the alt-missed him from Valin is still there God Lord. What is that the transfer?
Valin just dancing on the body is out fury at the idea
inside no kills
To close out the half, but I don't trust either seem to close this game out
So I don't know what's gonna happen on the attack as he takes a massively first in the first time the g2 come out ahead at half time
And here an ultimate that missed by Jills an inch
And a Valin who is not giving any
I got to defend calm for a second
Okay, one thing I will say in defense of him even though mechanically he's obviously getting shit on and a lot of these 50-50
50 fights that he ends up in, I agree with that, that's a fair criticism. However, I
think that you guys are missing what he is trying to do with his utility. And that's
a big part of his game, right? The dart on one side goes back, drones the other side.
He's doing a lot for his team to gain the space for his teammates. And I feel like that
gets overlooked when he's getting out.
A monkey could do that.
What?
Turtle, thank you the Prime.
or tier one, sorry, I think it's tier one.
The way he uses his utility on Sova is
very, very good. However,
the criticism that he has to put up better numbers,
same criticism I've gotten,
is valid.
It is valid, but it is also situational.
If you see him just shred a fucking whiffing or dying alone,
Um, five before those kinds of things, making it seem like he shouldn't never die first as a sova on a gun round.
Those kinds of things, you could criticize it 100%.
Obviously he's positionally doing it wrong.
Whatever he was trying to do there.
America's for the organization.
KV theme requirement.
Affair, a failure that's really followed.
I think you have to try to be objective about it.
But now that all comes to a head.
Got to do it on defense as well.
G2, when you look back at kickoff, this is always the better side on this map.
This is always the great side for G2 as well.
Fury, we're already blessed with one pistol round.
We need this next one to make it go at things.
Right now, playing three players in mid.
Ready for some quick rotate.
Just Koala here.
He has to go for one and get out.
He's teleporting away.
Now, with that dart pinging him, though, he's going to have to leave and his sight should
good spacing on that easel
wait they're about to get pinched
oh my god, the flankers are getting flanked
that's very resick
they were all together ready to flood
timing low key I like the idea of G214 there like I like the idea of like
crunching this area from middle and from from site but Furia were just too
ahead and it kind of fucked up their their timing and then obviously Astro
flanked the flankers but I like what they were trying to do at least
I'm gonna post
Kat this one in control
If frankly Kat this year alive for Furia
Okay, there's gonna force win this run and yeah, yeah, we have control there
Call in the force there and I he's right
Right in the first half for stingers for G2 these rounds
We blessed g2 throughout the group stage
Deerly earlier today one for one already
Turn this game around basic
And that means baby. I miss this all the way forward. I forget this is a spot
I'm shy tracing him through the smoke to dancing on it kill and light back into the right killer. He dies there. It's a problem
I
Still difficult to make any more headway guy dropped on ladder
Stuff behind smokes for now. There's a guy under heaven
waiting for the drop wait he's not there these next fights who's in her
heaven set the tone the whole half shall we stay in it you have to win this
round have to stop the force but Trent just know you know we lost it on Adam is
stinger we lost it out we saw that you saw that the real work from Trent just
wrenches the hearts of fury and fury knew exactly what was gonna happen they
they had the read they were ready but look at this it's just masterful from
track he did that is a round that ends a year and Shaw knows it you have maybe
one or two maker break grounds left in this game that was one of them Shaw
I won't get another chance to talk to me Steve in this map has to trust that they can do
this.
Um, is he surviving this?
No, he's not.
It's 10 rounds.
You too.
They've been too clean on these ends of eco so far.
And they've been playing so forward as well.
Making fear you real scared Kate.
Oh, they were running all the way up into the smoke in the A post planter.
Well, playing up there, jumping off the man.
I
Sight there slip away
Three rounds away
Here it was in that position earlier today
They had their chance to close out. They had their advantage back on some set
G2 mounted a comeback
Completely changed the tone of this year's change the tone of these playoffs as a whole
took the wind out of Furia's sails and now G2 we're just playing like you
expect G2 to play so they're trying to do events like a lurk in events no
they're not. Alright, Biffy's just gonna burn a whole
plank. Are they gonna eggs like any praisiest team takes the site?
much ways on this fourth area for a kid like basic who stepped onto this roster
in completely different roles today didn't get spammed somehow on his third
one he's the one with first kill gets out of this
oh shot they have the sight of no shot where they didn't even use so well
twice and shy two takes a ridiculous no fucking shot
and it's because they have to you have to ask for more
doesn't matter if you're a vet like garland rookie like basic
Goodbye, same game.
Yeah, that's a tough day for him.
That's game over.
They didn't even have to use Sova to win this round. The ship guns, they just won and took the A bomb site.
There were two dart pings and somehow
the period didn't capitalize.
They don't want to give this rookie a chance
Even yet you feel the hesitation because G2 have been so active in the previous rounds and now
This is a devastating case
There's no point in playing it out. G2 will not slip up three on one
That was a team fight that mattered in this map
Their money shot to and yeah, you probably can force around light armor. That's the year for the beach
As expected furia loose just getting worse and worse and worse and I mean that they only have themselves to blame
I will blame that bonus sunset round 9-5. I will consistently blame that what a terribly played round and then you give G2 the advantage
Start of a lower bracket run
And it's by returning to a composition that triggered them so well a map that was so good for them back in kickoff
But hell of a lot has changed since kickoff here were the champs then they only have two of those players left
And their year
Their chance to yeah make memories here in America's it's more than just one hit wonders
They have come into it as up with these proteins not running sensei
Some do but mainly it's because the unique controllers for
You need these folks to land really really quickly in both sites
Fix are also very easy to run. So if you for example, they fake a and you throw smoke say, you don't have any
smoke slots. And also Centi-Yutile doesn't get that much value because of so much elevation
besides vice. Maybe Chamber if you're aggressive. Controller-Yutile just gets it too much value
on his map. Attack and defense. GG. GG.
man absolutely nothing in this you remember G2 on top you remember me
you want just winning these toys they're winning it with Panache this round I'm losing my mind
working space in mid expecting the reflight from furia and perfectly punishing it both
these teams had the same difficult task run through play-ins show up to play us with a
new map in play with limited time.
Oh baby, let's go Dredd!
Let's go!
They walked into us!
And when the pressure's here, when it's a short turn around...
Tough day man, tough day in the office.
And it's the last day in the office too.
Another four players without any armor.
Another brawl down into mid this time.
A teleport away.
Fury, we're leading this series one map to none.
We're leading map two, nine rounds to three.
And since then it has not been remotely close
G2 back to form and G2 stepping towards basic now
Spotted
Pastor run away, but here comes Jogmo. He's on the hunt son comes down basic trying to dash away away from it all into the
quarter goes calm
Only one and basic two can shift much damage done too much damage done
No, this retake is just too hard.
Good chance.
the charge drifting in behind enemy lines
well it needs to come up with a plan to come up with it quickly but inside the
smoke
dredge strikes first plent continues to find heads
G2 we're on the brink
of elimination something unheard of and they have come all the way back
back to hold on to their spot here in playoffs.
07 Flutia.
From South Polo.
What a recovery from G2.
The experience, the dedication from this team.
They are the America's champs.
9-3, they came back from.
Always in crunch time, always in crunch time.
Oh, no, that's not set.
They've never missed a sage finals.
The one blemish on their record to kick off here against this team against a community
that are in the game.
I mean to be fair they did dominate Abyss.
They absolutely dominated Abyss but...
Alright, do we come back on Sunset?
It was just a brutal and G2 will welcome the crowd here, send off Furia, and Joeey
and thank you to the two of them.
Calm, had decent positioning though, that's not...
Yeah.
Ew, I'm not winning this battle. I'm not gonna win this battle.
It's just, it's a tough day, this is a bad day obviously, minus 20 is just not good, either rough day, can't justify that.
Fuck, I really wanted a bacon, egg, and cheese McMuffin, or, um, not McMuffin McGrittle.
because they always step up when it matters even after a tough loss after a tough stage doesn't even face them
What is everyone having for dinner today chop?
You guys having the amount of fun they were having out there once the wind started coming their way
This guy said just to the other side of course this was all what hot loss for period
They so nearly had it, me, me, and to have it taken away from them at the last second.
And to express I haven't had him fucking forever out as I've had to express.
The bell curve, that kickoff, was so strong for them.
Can beans!
So strong, but...
But they're like, keeping the taster in them, and it couldn't come through.
Even can beans.
Credit to them for reinventing in the planes.
And from 0-5 to making it to the playoffs in the end.
But it's not enough today.
G. Sardines and bread.
Yo, that sounds disgusting.
Bro said sardines.
Veggie might on toast.
Can you guys just give me serious answers?
I was intense, bro.
I can't lie. The first game, the first game, they got me.
I can't lie. But, you know, for me, I got that dog in me.
I'm going to keep going.
Hell, yeah. Keep pushing.
Make sure the boys are good and keep going. What was that first game because it seems like they had everyone's number
ZAWGEMO!
What was going on for the camp?
For us, we weren't really nervous about what was going on, but they definitely had a better game plan going in.
They knew that that's their stronger map.
So because of that, you just kind of just keep firing all cylinders and just like let it be like that.
That's their map. They call it a day.
Oh, yeah, call it a day. Go for the next little Caesar's.
Look at your play and interview recently. You kind of said, you know, one of your breeze games was one of your worst.
I didn't get as many kills, but that was also a change in mentality for you in the approach and how you needed to help the team more
How are you kind of getting through that and knowing that if those kills aren't there?
You're still doing everything you need to do
I mean, yeah being a solo duelist sometimes like she's getting the space for the guys to clutch up
That's like the main thing
But it's more of just my communication like if I'm dead I got a dead calm make sure the guys are like in the right spots
Sitting on some teamfights. I was a little bit hectic
Today can do as much of drake on us in that today and then I started flowing right after he got us back in there
Awesome, I got a final question for you. How far is G2 from their trophy lifting version of themselves?
This next game will be the one that will tell us right now. Can't lie. So one more game. Perfect dog
Well, thank you so much. I appreciate it congratulations on the win. That's the block moving forward
We still got another game going today. It's evil geniuses versus MIBR big brains big game online
Don't go anywhere. We just finished breakfast. It's a dinner time now now the big boys are playing
No, I'm in.
It's funny.
Stop the LARP and you know EGS Raid Buns.
Okay, duckling, you dog shit ass player, fucking bum.
Stop the alarm!
If MFBR loses to EG, they should honestly drop all 5 including Aspas and Zek.
Disrespect is unbelievable
Why are you ignoring comments on calm? What the fuck do you want me to say you dumb motherfucker?
What do you want me to say that hasn't already been said? It's his last match of the fucking split. It's it's over
Hey, what do you want to hear out of my mouth? I'm so curious
They want you to say calm needs to quit now I know and I'm not gonna do that
leave the game before the game leaves you the game left me a long time ago I
don't know why I came back I mean I wasn't even trying to defend that the
current situation that he's in obviously like he had a rough day but I mean
these guys are up 9-3 so let's not get that twisted these guys are up 9-3
it's just I'm not saying that G2 didn't play this half well or anything but this
This round right here is a fucking crime that was committed.
The way they lost it.
And it's just unfortunate really.
Just disgusting.
Put me in coach Pickle are you trying to go pro?
Like I don't know.
playing fun havers all day. I guess trying to get like plucked out of the herd.
I mean comment erupted without a doubt it is all again if you're going minus 28
you've done a lot wrong in the game you had a bad game there's no way even he
would you wouldn't defend it you would say I had a terrible game overall but
there are a lot of other reasons they've lost that game is what I'm trying to say
so highlighting just one is a little ignorant playoffs and our second lower
Bracket elimination match of the day. It's evil geniuses versus M. I be are who be here back on the desk with Ben Silly and tried to break
Some geniuses the better word
We're ready to go. I can see you dip from here. Yeah, I just said it in my chat
Were you here? I want to McGriddle so bad right now for hash browns, probably an orange juice. Oh
Sonic is grumbling brother
Okay, but you even use somehow would get more than four kills in two bad maps in a row.
It's kind of unheard of.
I mean, I'm not, like I said, I'm not excusing it.
Just because I say there are other reasons they lost doesn't change the fact that yeah,
He had a bad game.
I'm just saying acknowledge the other the other reasons as well.
Three, but going into this water that's walking up right now,
that is a bunch of rookies on this stage
and also no champions from 2023 in that roster yet they've made it this far.
This three years ago, Dan Dry was in high school when they won champs.
I don't know if that's true.
Oh, well, it's a little tricky to have a good narrative.
But this is obviously the run in 2023 that Champions Los Angeles run
was a team that started the year looking...
I mean, why even shh?
This isn't the same team.
At like, not even close, minus Potter.
And Org name.
What are we still doing on this graphic?
We just told you two almost losing to Fyria as well.
But for EG, I think it is possible, but it is what I'm saying.
Do you honestly think NBR is gonna go home tonight?
They have so many great ideas. They have so many set plays, so many good things that they can do.
But the pressure for the Rookies... It's over for them.
Are they ready for this? Is this team ready to do the unthinkable?
I feel like during this stage they've suffered the biggest losses to be able to get to this point
and to be ready for this stage. Again, they're playing against MIBR. The last time that these
two teams face off against each other, Vernal clutch against them like six times. So when it
comes down to the lowest lows on maps that you picked, you're supposed to be strong on and you
lose like these protocol fundamentals would you say DG's then is the most underrated undervalued
player with some of the numbers and intangibles like Vines of Risen seems to be honest I don't
know if he's undervalued or underrated anymore I think people see how good he is but it's just
you know he's on a team that it hasn't had results so it's like do with that what you will but
yeah he obviously doesn't get the same type of hype oxy does for example which I think is the crime
Okay, through that tier two your path to Brazil begin, but it's okay. The real ones now
What's on the line for you in this match? I think right now have like a lot of things in my head
But I need to think step by step, you know, I feel like okay today. We have a match against a MBR
I'm just focusing just like today and then if you want I can dream more, you know, so I'm so
Confidence because I've been playing like well, so
whatever you know I'm a liar. Step by step. Good luck out there. If any of you wore that
chain, you guys would the truly just instead drop to the fucking ground and head get a
concussion. You know that right? If any of you wore that chain. Any of you. By the way.
start of his tenure on this team this guy against crew was out of this world
especially because crew they won that first map in map 2 and map 3 it was a
DJ sin show and one of his kills was going his way the way that he was playing aggressive even
being on guys stop I actually don't want a big if it's fine something that I feel
like we haven't felt for EG you know you're the worst part of this is chat
you're the worst part of this is and what actually makes me sad for the boys
These are just withdrawals from the bank
They didn't win this
These are not winnings and that makes me sad
This is not not the first not the second this is the third withdrawal
We are down right now. I could tell I could tell we're down right now
do they have gambling problems? I mean, I wouldn't say problems. Ryan changed Sam. I think Ryan
made Sam come out of his shell I mean I'm not gonna pretend
And gambling isn't fun, gambling is fucking fun and I've had good runs with gambling.
Like, gambling has worked out well for me, but there will be a time that that won't
be the case and I'll lose, it is what it is.
I can accept that.
Gambling's fun, but fucking just gotta be able to afford to do it, you know what I mean?
It's not a hot take.
I'm gonna say it.
Dujizin actually on paper is looking better.
He's playing less matches than, uh, than Aspas throughout this year has been, has had four first kills versus Aspas and even averages more kills per map than Aspas so far.
And that's not just Raisency by us from the crew.
Yo, this is what I've been sharing up here from the Fast and the Furious for this, for this year, rather, I think the difference right now is where Aspas takes that set the head here into Digizine is if you're
Ugly, definitely.
Thank you.
He's such a prominent good jet-hopper that we all know I love you
MPG and I hope I can play against you in ranked and maybe even on stage one day
Well, you're definitely not gonna play on the stage
But if you get if you get to the S tiered level that I'm at in the ranked system
With my MMR essentially just being in the stratosphere if you can get to that point then yeah
We'll play against each other not an evil geniuses of playing a double duelist in every single map
It is so looking forward to it
And so you have the balance of how the two duo double duelists are going to play out for MIVR versus some maps for the other side
Right obviously we need to hear from the human tornado himself. Let's head back down to RIV and hear from Aspireus
Aspireus awesome to chat with you before the game today
Chat do you want to know how much I'm up Gamble and Gamble?
No, I can't say it because you guys are going to start gambling and then I say I influence you to Gamble
But I've just been very lucky to focus on ourselves and take one game at a time
It's gonna be a long run. So we're gonna just ding me. Thank you for the three gifts
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much
Making sure that we're gonna do all this stuff that we've prepared before
All right. Good luck out there. Thank you. But my gamble run has been um
Solid would be nice, but mipr you'd be proud of them to settle for that alone
They need to qualify for a global this year to prove that this super team was not just a failure into design
and they blew up in the lab to quote Rob Moore.
That's a pretty big lift from this point on
in this lower bracket.
It's so difficult.
They've had so many chances to make
internationals kick off three chances, stage one, two chances.
They lost the upper bracket, and now they
have to have a peer perfect run in the lower bracket
with a new ideal, with new changes,
with new compositions, with a new play style as well.
But you don't know if it's going to give you
the results every single time.
It is the last chance for this team to prove what they have, to prove that it is a super
team for a reason.
MIBR overall too, in terms of their legacy of how they started in tactical FTS2 in the
early 2000s, was based on just a Brazilian powerhouse.
And then you go into putting a lot of resources to build around a superstar Brazilian...
Hey, babies.
...and Aspas, bringing Zeke in.
This is supposed to be a team that's finding a lot of results right away actually.
I know for a fact that you used to be a CSGO lounge demon.
I was.
I was I see a school. I was demon
Don't put don't give me four assamots to gamble away. I'll do it instantly
Let's quit you quickly touch on another hotspot on this team. It's second who has the global experience
Oh shit, I love that you guys remind me you guys are the fucking best. You know that you guys are actually just the best
Did you ever gamble in Valorant? No. CSGO Lounge, once Valve banned players from gambling,
once you hit a professional level, I entirely stopped, but yeah, before that I was fucking
all in. And I picked the best games to gamble on too. I'm a gambling assassin in CSGO Lounge.
I just knew the exact games to target.
Uhhhh... Ready?
Hmph.
Bang! Here it is.
Like, what even is this? Am I playing World of Warcraft?
That knife is peak yo, peak, it's peak! It's not.
Aw dude, if I got the Doombringer Phantom, that's what it is, right? This is the, yeah. If I got the Phantom, I'd be down.
Just kidding, sad boy.
19, thank god, that could have been bad.
That could have been rough.
You have him, I'll be taking this close or not?
I think it is going to be close.
There you go, we've been queued up for a close game.
a matchup of legends. It's a world championship player at Aspas, world championship coach in Potter.
It's time to get down to the stage and bring out our squads in this do or die.
How much Neten on you paid you for talk about gambling on stream?
Yeah, that is a buzz all right moment for sure, I don't know what's this guy's talking about.
The team that has struggled this whole year has tried to make them.
Why do people think gambling is the worst thing in the world?
It's because
there's got to be a level to the personal responsibility, right?
It's the same thing as eating fast food and complaining that you're obese, right?
It's the same is the same concept.
There's an addiction there.
You've got to have some personal responsibility,
which is why I'm not sitting here.
Like I can talk about gambling and not feel a certain type of way about it.
If you enjoy doing it and you could afford to do it and you know when to stop,
have fun. But there's a level of personal responsibility.
If you can't personally be responsible and you go broke.
How are you blaming that on anyone else but yourself?
Like, you know what I mean?
Ambitious projects would be putting it lightly.
That's Haram.
What do you mean? It's Haram.
basically every person I know that claims to be muslim breaks certain rules but doesn't
break others because that's haram.
Brother, you break one rule, you're gone.
You can't just be wishy washy about it.
I do Ramadan, but I also drink.
What the fuck? What do you mean by that?
Uh, H and Julls, thank you for the primal.
My Muslim friend goes drinking every weekend?
a lot of people I mean for example if you're like fasting for Ramadan it's
simple it's similar to like just how you're raised right you just do it because
you're raised like that so there's certain things that are gonna stick with
you um which is fine like for example I was raised vegetarian for most of my
life because my parents are extremely religious so I was vegetarian for a
little while after I moved out you know it's pretty normal
Ethan, thank you for the prime, man.
I just wanted to say thanks for buying around and drinks at the bar last night.
You were too fun to be around and the way those girls were all over you was hilarious.
You're the man, bro.
I hope you have a good stream.
He's so...Ethan.
He's her an idiot.
Uh, you're the suit of the MZ1.
So timeouts at this point are legendary in America's but am I there? Thank you for
talking tough and fraud as painstakingly forged this year was the first food you ate when you
broke being vegetarian a cafeteria a high school cafeteria cheeseburger and it fucking hits let
Let me say that.
and single-controller where you can't really have the flipper right to move up and down and yeah
Looks like an engine has to be something as well. Yeah double doors down
I think it was just a raise up until this point. How do your parents feel about not you not being religious?
I mean as it's only so much. They can really do probably don't love it, but
Well, what are they gonna do about it? Not much
All right, we are ready for map one so let's head over the cast there's two people
I've been throwing to you since Dan dried was in high school
Absolutely the case here, but I would never but one thing is like there's a sense of respect right like I would never eat
Meats or anything like that in front of them or drink in front of them or something
Is it alright to lose most of your money and restart from nothing at all at 20 years old?
Would really love your thoughts about it
Is it alright to lose most of your money and restart from nothing? Is it alright? What do you mean? Is it alright?
have strong opinions about both of these teams compositions I was always
veg but I could meet whatever
apparently I was only a few options I see
I lock in was it for saying it would be stupid
there is Lee!
but on this map I think it's an exception
yeah second off from the one trying to
this time as well a bit of flexibility hold on fuck it here
Mazzino is unaccounted for and unable to be traded out
it's fine it's fine we're still fine
problem is we in Cypher would be
How much goes both ways the plan eventually down, but it is the carious post plan to be played by EG
I don't know how we win this round we have no control whatsoever
They have smoke to diffuse. Oh my god. They're quite serious. They're going serious. We have a good crossfire
He walks through on a timing gets the kill
Wow has to be the difference maker does a smoke in his face
He told to be used it pushes these players out of the picture that temporarily now
Just say it, just say it.
Flash is good.
He's a little bit better. Bow is on top of things now.
Even the situation is taking forwards.
Flowing now. The kills in EG's name.
An epistol round.
Earned up.
Well, he only gets one kill.
Fantastic flashes as well from pancakes. Well done.
This is a new comfort.
Fantastic flashes.
And his flashes could not have been more perfect there.
boxed second into a corner and then look at this one to explode out beautifully
played it's really beautifully played no one expect us on that second flash
god damn a lot from Dijoussine yes because this game is elimination the
team who loses here will not be going to Sao Paulo as both asbestos and Dijoussine
are gonna want to play in front of that crowd so we have a fixie we walk out
Okay, fixy fixy right now. We have I think the scene has more like a chip on his shoulder
Creative still to some highs a lot of lows
It's such an interesting himself is such an interesting dichotomy between these two teams
Mib are all of the big names. Honestly, I made that call we lose first on the list in W call
There's walk into see here, you know at the beginning of this year if you were looking to create a super
This is why I'm, this is why I'm washed up as fuck right here.
These kids are way ahead of me.
Why are you repeating that?
You should be like, no, no, you're the best.
No.
That's not true.
Oh my god.
Dying of bomb? No, they're flanking.
about 69% of the time they are converting off the back of pistols it is
powering them forward from this run they're gonna have to lead on it but they're
gonna make this one clean here might be overwhelming
this is the right places but honestly he'll take those orbs end of the day the
day doesn't I mean that's good it's good damage for him at the
yard don't get me wrong but at the same time but I will take those orbs
he was able to feast there with the Marshal at level, he's three orbs away though, I
don't see that getting online for round three, but the way that they've managed the economy
still gives them a little bit of bite, they kept a Guardian and they're able to buy a
Guardian and a Vandal here.
So throw those guns onto the double due lists and then on bow and maybe you could see magic
reworked.
in the fights they only have rays here with an eye which will break. Oh fuck. Oh god.
Oh god please be aware of this please be aware. We have to be aware of it. It's well played.
well played by MBR. They have max info now it's just a matter of how long they
stay for. I guess it's just based off whenever text gets spotted. They'll
I'll reclare this area.
Probably to empower techs on the attack side to lurk a bit more, but Mizzino could well
be tested here in this round.
Well, let's look past something with his micro in his hand, flash forwards, but if C-Mao
controls the vice wall...
No rotation whatsoever.
Are we serious?
We only have a time to get...
Much done, bow.
No, he's dead.
He's just dead.
No, he's dead. He's just dead.
Now we have to go see, and there's still a wall there.
Nevermind. We pop the wall.
Nice throw.
What a wall!
Oh, we need this kill. We need this kill, and we win.
V4 no weaponry at all and the spam multitudes of it
So we were talking about eG being great on these bonus rounds here
My br Dean will deal with it very cleanly and our spots is gonna get the diffuse here for a showstopper
So actually momentum looking like it could go the opposite way in M.I.B.R.s favor
And perhaps we should expect
We're one way from is all the love G to look weaker here because this has not been a map that they've enjoyed play
I'm down to hit C here. I'm down to hit C here and pop water
Pop through water lane and then raise all fully raise off the site while everyone else goes water
We take the entire site we push water make him use a result we went
They just can't seem to get the hang of that
Classic composition that you've been seen here piloted by M&E off
So EG throwing a brand new idea of the wall. Oh my god. No vice utility either. No vice utility
elimination game see rush would have been God call guys risks are pretty great
in terms of changing up compositions but the rewards even greater it's gonna
get pushed from the lines we only get a lot of information it's good overall
macro each they can build up to the show stop them yeah that's now on both sides
so eyes on the raise players here that's past didn't find that opportunity that
You might have been looking for with a big rubble engagement
But he's the sole player defending B right now. It's gonna insert C. We go back a we have an a it's already
Are we faking this and potentially going feelings still a couple people? He's a he's making people rotate here though
Should drag attention in my VR
Keep into the players for easy stuff to contest with
He's even gone for a fake teleport over on C. So it's gonna keep second and verno
they're just going in nice to be taken out all time and all time and all time and you
have a feeling I know you have a feeling
to the better end of the Z-men in this one house and rocket
on finders not going to use results here I think they saved us I think they saved us
are they really going for this respect it
It's actual play as well, he's gonna be outplayed so I thought I'd throw him in the same direction as he did.
Get out of here, go, go, go, go, go. Shoot.
Shoot. And at this point you're just starting from there.
Dizine, 3k by the way.
Cleanest fuck.
EG found a weakness.
Superman tying up that defense on C.
And here in A side that I agree was a bit too easy for him to get through there.
Mazzino's individual level has definitely dropped with him becoming the IGL for the team.
But that is to be expected.
you saw the same thing with verno when he was actually yelling and now verno's
looking absolutely insane but if that ends up being a weakness for them on
Lotus it might be one that EG can exploit yeah what a baiter
Hitting.
Max impact kills bro. Just opens and closes the round by himself.
I am here. I am here.
You are. You are here. I am here.
I know. I've been saying it this whole time brother.
Yeah, I definitely am.
I mean he's been superb hasn't he?
Yeah, and I think he epitomizes eG to some degree in terms of being a player that's being excellent at the tier one level
But just didn't get picked back up
except when given the chance on eG
And we keep hitting this by side plays chances at redemption
And the squads always peek late in the year. Yeah
No challenging for them at all like zero challenging in terms of the
Trim points.
They're saving a lot of their utile.
On Val. On Val at the B-lan.
We're fine, we're fine, we're fine. The smokes are gonna go down, but we're fine otherwise.
Oh, you're dead, yours is dead, yours is dead.
Nice, nice. We know there's two flank.
There's two flank, bang oh!
So this is a 3v3 finally they deal a bow.
We needed that kill.
He wouldn't want to surround with that kill by the way.
He wants to take a five forwards.
For now though, still 2v3, playing as aggressive.
That's random spam, showstopping now going to be offloaded here.
Forward into the angle, paintkicks!
Almost there, but tech sharp shooting.
Very close, good attempt from EG.
MIBR cleaning it up though with Mizzino stepping up.
Close round. Actually close round. He did really well though. He really did really well.
He got the, he got the intel on two flank and then he killed the B guy and made another
B guy look at him. He bought so much time for these guys. Also I don't know what Mazzinha
is doing trying to fight that. So risky when his teammates are nowhere near him. He loses
that area they have we have all of CT
well there goes this round
second but into a very difficult spot here maybe it'll work wrap it up I suppose
just run them down now listen I mean they're just flexing oh the shots that
aspas and takes have hit in this map oh sorry in this round I sublime the walls
are closing in on bow don't know if he's gonna be allowed to keep this rifle
online there's still a minute frame to hold on to it there's absolutely no
some of the some of the best then early pause down though he's doing it all
really I mean even a stage two is not that early actually pretty standard
and we pretend with now we have been singing appraises all stage long of
Potter's timeouts they've been instrumental they've been really good
correcting mistakes I think EG have normally struggled on their defense
sites to me that's where she's had the biggest impact in terms of changing
things. EG often kind of lose their heads on defense. They have an idea, but they don't execute it very well. As soon as the idea gets too complex, they fumble it a bit.
And now with their composition changing, they're going to go back to door hits, heavy door and A hits.
Look at his post plate agents. What you'll notice there is, Raze is not on there. And that's because he was playing Viper on a lot of the maps where...
Right now, we're about to be popped guaranteed with the eco.
You win the Viper here on Lotus, and we had a really funny success. This was the one map, but the trend. And that, I think, is part of
reason why EG have gone for an overhaul of their Lotus Comp. But when you haven't had as much time to
practice and you haven't had matches to test it, this is where Potter's impact becomes even more
important. Anything to turn the tide, this can't be my VR. Alts are building up the money in the bank
as well. A crewing. Need something to offset it. Those timers have been pretty crucial.
now this is an eco, so you're expecting eg to lose this one and really the impact to be felt in round 8
but sometimes eg put together a decent little eco attempt as well
fake semen?
a lot of it must be said comes from the jazine
nah, it's a default
we could maybe catch them, nevermind they got out
It immediately diffuses the mount hold and yeah, they don't feel comfortable sticking around
thankfully so
I'm just fucking a lucky
Both my do this awesome
Maybe I were actually doing a great job here of punishing eG for trying to bait out this vice wall
They know exactly what you do you take mount control you look to try to pressure the wall
We look to try to get rid of thorns. Yeah, and then maybe I decided that the combination is fine. And then just taking the fight
It's not like they perma about it.
The last time in VT was April 10th.
So, that's some time away.
DG, this is all the time I was for.
Let's take a listen in.
Yeah, break.
Can't break, can't break. Can't see it.
Better.
We'll see it. One under door.
Get three.
He's lucky.
Heard a morning, morning, but you walked out.
Yeah, I think I know.
Get it?
Three, three.
Nice.
Come on, come on, come on.
Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight.
I'm gonna tip it to this side.
Okay, I'm stuck in the bottom.
He's land, he's land.
Straight through.
Is that working?
Yeah, it's open.
Help me, Xeron, I got killed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep going, keep going.
Could be still close to that box, okay?
Yeah, behind the box.
Every stairs, I know.
Okay, you can peek into the side with my dog.
Turn?
My dog's on the stairs.
I have a case for a stairs, okay?
Turn?
It could be a bringable or a pen still.
I'm ready, whatever.
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
I'll peek your stairs, I'll be right behind it.
Tens clean.
Tree one.
On site.
On the...
Back site, one on tree.
Put in door.
Try to save the op if you can, bro.
Actually it's 1 above 2 probably 0
They don't say it
2v2 boys heading
1 stairs?
Steers in late
Gal is buff
Drop the flag
That's a pretty good delay from Tux
It's hard
Daddy might be holding buff
Yeah, they left.
There's a British that's both here.
Why up the stairs?
He fucking turned around.
That's incredible awareness from Tex to realize that Pancake is wrapping around there.
You just see a player messing with you on the jiggle peek at tree, and a spidey sense is tingling.
But let's pull back to talk about the timeout, because Potter's adaptation seems to be putting the taxide off into the hands of EG,
And I hope that that can be the thing that punishes MLBR.
MLBR want to take aggressive fights.
And so you want to hold an offline against them to punish that.
But it didn't really work.
And they thought the round was runnable,
which ended up with them losing that big tool
that Potter was wanting them to go towards.
So this half may well just spiral out of control from here.
That's a trouble, really.
BC default again.
As we've been mentioning, EG, the way did they get their wins?
Snow walling early.
Using the advantages of pistol round wins and jobs.
Maybe putting up a ball work.
Difficult to get past.
It's a good sign for MFJ that they're playing on a map that they haven't had much match experience on.
It is, yeah.
They're still doing a great job of shutting down what's happening here.
There it is. Another nice setup to see if they can stall and stun this one out.
They're going to skip past a lot of this for that stun.
There's a good connection, and there it is!
That's a big kill. That's a big fucking kill.
Finding the target!
Upgrade it quiet!
This is a team straight back out and around.
It's going to be a nade sailing overhead.
Does disjoint the plant going down to the team?
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Just missing a few straight shots, Tex.
Snakebite is alone over there.
Take this fight forwards.
They lost, right? We're actually just losing.
We just lose.
But EG is still just pressed forward, trying to fight this one aggressively.
I'll contend to hold this one all the way back damage
Nice
Running and gunning around, it's weak and weaponry in their house
But verno cleaning and mopping things up now
Alongside it, bow
Have you dropped ahead of him
Lot of damage done to these players
But just over the shoulder, there he is, verno
He's in his head open wide
GG
That is such nice, we take utility for them
Fucking GG
We need this round
We need a disround
So bad that we got the entry clean too
Nightfall sweeps through from verno
knocking all of these players HPs down for them to come in and clean up
There's actually positioning was good for eG there
They might be out forced to try to scrap back into the site
Give him a little bit of space to work with late round situations
When there's a monster
It's one of this half that's five rounds in a row. We actually have to work
to be able to afford the op if that was the big linchpin the photo was relying
on this game pivoting around
complete control a lot of you till ready to try and stuff this one out before
night at least with a pre-game all the techs is healing in there regardless
those of us players are bound superman those managed to find that gap
still plenty of players waiting into this one for one
clean with terrible
adequately
Superman like out of his reach is gonna have to see if you can find out no
I see you just walk by his side. Yeah, they're worried about Bob. I don't know where he is
Masino, but I'll solve up that issue
Now they know exactly where bow is
Place it play this one with a lot of discipline just off the contact of Verna a reason
Okay, so cutting this one up, but in this farm again
And, those nicely here, MIBR are just dominating these rounds.
We are seeing a really clean version of MIBR today.
They can be a little bit wobbly.
You know, sometimes you come into a match
and they're playing a bit individually.
You're worried about the team play.
Spacing can be off.
Today, they are tight with each other, double swinging,
jiggling for them to juggle aggro between each other.
They make it very, very difficult for EG
to be able to do anything in the round like that looking very impressive on Lotus considering
that we haven't seen him. It's a tough map for EG to begin this series on. Really is EG.
I'm getting hard. I'm getting going at all. I started just to test more.
Tex gets both duelists there. I'm getting difficult as well to capture that lightning
in a bottle. The essence that honestly you just can't really replicate. We have to talk
about it the 2023 can't thank you that you're wondering yeah G went on it is
trying to get no fun hours I mean both are good if you find good players to
play with you could play on our knees that rise to the top of the match
experience so you're not as nervous in your first games to give them the
experience to then take into champs there was a lot of pieces that went
together on the road to that Cinderella run I think it's too hard now I think
I think it's too long, I think it's 9-3 to South
Very, very end
They probably have Art to play with as well
But I think a more reasonable goal is for Dijazine
Get into Sao Paulo
That is a very reasonable goal
It would take a couple of wins down here in the lower bracket
Everybody made it so far, but got a contest for the final boss
As the desk was mentioning
On the side of the timeout now
Scrapping to give us some weaponry, EG have got to stop
momentum just no fighting at all from MIBR they just wait they just wait forever
as long as the rotations are good they're chilling they're so confident in the
retakes one point away from a showstopper
Small it's gonna take
Monk's dissipating
It's committed on this deeper line. It's just waiting
for the contact signs from a player
But it jiggles here
No, so I don't need you just waiting for the smoke timing to come back online and the juggling here for the weapons to go away
The other side of the map does your zine was walking up mount but didn't bait the wall a little bit scared based on the spam in the previous
They don't even have alts to retake yet. They're already in a retake a setup
He's the one with the showstopper.
Can he actually get it, or is Aspas gonna pluck him out of the air?
Aspas isn't looking very aggro-lion.
He's committed now with that door opening up. He is in trouble, dog.
There you go. Respect that one with the Trouble Laser.
Hacing you at your heels.
Tex's already taken out one play on the opposite side of the map now, and the showstopper has to find value,
but Aspas has that kill, earned.
Second one now, showstopper!
Rebound into the corner, not finding it, but buying plenty of space.
MIBR to get active and involved in the conversation.
And it's just too simple for MIBR to mop up.
And EG do their best to get into a position where they can exec.
They're trying to put a bunch of pressure on them.
Hal is down, not killing him there.
And Aspa slips the net, drops into pit.
And picks off two, could have been three very easily.
They got my ass.
Zerona as well in the middle of that tried to double blast back, I think.
I didn't realize that he didn't have one available, just kind of limped forwards with the ultimate and had to fire it towards Heaven.
Not the ult he was looking for.
Back to that mount control.
They were getting punished by the spans before.
Is Mizino bold enough to go for it on his own?
He inspired one of them.
Mizino has died a couple times where he shouldn't be, so I'm down to go to his site.
He always takes fights, but he has Viper with him.
This time.
And Raze.
Raze.
Go before the rotates come in, as soon as they call.
into this one. What are you just going to be used to here, Zepkin? Oh god.
I think Stefan Ford's here in trouble. He's missing and he's trying to take our timing
past this, Sirona!
He's got his two confidence right now. I don't like it. No, please don't get another.
He gets three.
I am an active, this guy cannot be stopped.
He gets three.
He gets just over it, guys.
Let's pick up the pieces.
I'll have to decide, it's going to try and win this one out, but there it is.
Bit of a pre-fire into the corner, finding in, even seeing and catching signs of life.
Crouch down, Masino.
I love EG. EG is actually my favourite player. Because he's clearly playing for EG.
High 7, they're in front of him.
Wow, he came getting 3 years insane.
of this map and MIBR have still put on an excellent performance.
If EG could put on a pistol and bonus, charity round, I'll take it, 8-4 into a pistol round
one, into a bonus and first gone, 5-0 lead, 6-0 lead, it's cool.
possible for EG to do.
long day trip. Chill.
Also you know the first log was huge, I'll let her know.
I
I don't know if that finesse isn't real and is an AI generated character
The technology has far surpassed anything we ever thought was possible
After Rod was famously quoted saying, you'd have to be an idiot to take Zekken off of Duelist
But he has that flexibility in him, it's working on and it's paying off here
8-4 currently
12-4 high
Okay
Only pressure
to be broken there, so I think we're gonna walk a
There's gonna walk contact a that we do have a cypher cam so they will cancel but it's gonna walk and be late
And they're gonna do a B split
No, they're not they're not doing any of that. He's alone over the woods. They are gonna fake it
opening up there it is it's got an hour to come but that is text just yeah and
there goes the bombsite well good trade but we've actually or we'll say no and
they have all of heaven and they kept kept their parent away oh my god they're
pushing all the way through chat this is gonna be bloody as anything abroad
potentials in their space
this this this this
this is
this is
this is
finalize that pistol round with a
flourish
100 per sense save
going and catching the lurker deliberatly going and pushing
and controlling that
gives you so much peace of mind on the retake
we won both pistols, surely we can
maybe win this game
that's really clean
And the fights here from under me are kind of horrible like the actual angles that you're fighting on are really weird
Okay, I asked for peace though. I make that shit happen. Let's go guys
Please the EG would get back into a map like this
Please bro and winning the bonuses again
They have been winning almost 70% of their bonus rounds across stage two and that has made up
I already know Ian's feeling it, so he's gonna do these random viper lurks.
He's gonna do aggressive ass viper lurks on Gunrons.
What the fuck?
Out of there is Arona!
Evermite keep killing them.
Yeah, he didn't eat him out.
One more orb.
Go get one, go get your last orb.
We need this bonus. We actually need this bonus. They'd be so confused if we win this
bonus. Our only strategy here is pure confusion.
Double-dualist teams play a lot in Europe and the pushes out mound the triple push of one push out mound has been
Here we go opting into a rubble fight instead though both teams clacking heads here
Yeah, there's gonna be something, isn't it?
Already, EG is full on in the sea!
The character is pretty nasty.
Oh, nice shot!
Nice shot, no smokes!
Nice fucking shot!
That's a nice little prize.
Wow, that was completely...
He really rushed back to C.
...the position over towards C.
They're gonna pick up any B timing.
He's got his cam here.
Three, three, C, three, C, three, C.
Rotate.
No, they have Vyzee, they're gonna go back to A.
They have Weisler game, that's the wincon right there.
Oh no, we don't have info on C.
Wait, never mind, he canceled. They're just coming C.
They canceled. Oh my god, Texas stuck, Texas stuck, Texas stuck, crouched.
He got out!
No, they're in A.
Took his timing, and same could be said for Mazzino, who's taking his time back in the day.
We needed to kill him before he retake.
He can walk into the airside.
Come on, Mazzino, if there's anyone I want in this situation, it's you.
He's quietly coming back over, though.
And he's gonna be down to the timings, isn't it, Mazzino?
Watching for this one.
He's just aim-gonna-be-well-trained, if yes, Mazzino.
Get some top of it all.
His line is dead.
I think he's taken down. It's a big player advantage.
He's gonna open up. Time pressure though is...
Well, 26 is left to get this plant down, but I should have the coverage there look at them holding on to the angle
Thorns down asperger
Well covered
Ones have to be broken here in a 2v4
Like for exits at least bow doesn't I mean superman might even think about saving this one to be honest, but
Bob doesn't want to keep a spectre
Don't prod. Let's see if it's doable as best as just two bleeding my whole team
I was just looking to do damage at this point MIBR offended off two bonus rounds that were
attempted here for EG.
Well my goodness, Chas it is some damage but it is watched for anticipated by MIBR.
Well played MIBR well played.
Skirt around the danger really of a bonus conversion which has just been powering his
EG team forwards.
It does such a good job actually offending these dangerous attempts from EG.
The way that Aspas covers that angle from Zerona is that Zerona takes a timing past the thorns.
Really sharp. Their awareness of the danger has been good today on Lotus.
Question being now, can EGP's anything together on their by rounds?
Story of that first half is all that might be out.
My vizeler key. We're trying to kill his viz.
We're gonna dog and stun him. Dog stun now. Right now. Right now. Right now. Right now.
We need a true kill here.
And he's fully scanned.
It does shut down as fast find a boss tell we've now drop it out as a pit
GG GG it's over it's over we lose this round it's over the snaps gone
Text is alive perfectly. All right. Yeah, it's done. He's the one killed but already back up arriving vertical
Okay, he's and Texas
Bernal is low and...
Oh no.
Nice fucking job.
Huge round for Zerona man, huge round, poor tech
I know baby, come on baby
We are hype
We are actually hype though
Otherwise looking all right
The road is gonna have contact again again
He's gonna get some help. No way. I'll spend here. Right? Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
It's beautiful work the flash is perfect and ask us the final one tell win
wait
Pancakes flashes were so good way wrong on this map
It's been a while since we've seen that impact again, but my god
Wait better to set up Zorona
Our owning you're either near sighted or full blinded and it's free what a flash by the way pancakes
Gorgeous little set play
And they're feeling it because they're back in the game they force that timeout
The first one from M.I.B.R. Yeah, they've also forced them down onto a thrift cookies or brownies
They're also being proactive and denying cookies
An opportunity to use the ropes warm cookies
Bringing a fight against M.I.B.R. Selling the tempo using the double-duelice
Not really a brownie kind of guy
It's nice to see from each game. It is contender to M.I.B.R.
But the team as well that has been open for greater heights this entire year
Falling short of the mark in qualification games. This isn't even that really. It's an elimination game. Just as important to win
Text has been
Phenomenal on stage two overall. What's not included there is this clutch rates
He is warm brownie cold ice cream brother. He's a player that had a huge amount of screen. He asked cookies or brownies
What are we adding all these combinations for?
Qualification games he went missing
And now we get to see what is his form looking like when it's all on the line not to qualify for an event
But the other side of the coin where you would get eliminated entirely
Winger? Thank you for the prime man.
Going to champions. And actually he's stepped up and delivered so far.
But there's gonna be more rest of him because especially when he's one of those players that will look to lurk and control space on the attack side
EG are gonna want to contest him. EG are gonna want to flush him out.
Maybe they're doing the thing where they just re-hit the same area.
Is it got cleaned?
before they go for their standard retakes.
Probably brave.
Please, don't get eco'd here.
We can build up the next result very quickly in this round.
That would be huge.
Zerona gets another 3k, that's huge.
Would that be 10 kills in 3 rounds?
But there is a cam for contact.
On the other side of his Viper wall, and I think that's
a really nice little spot there from Bao.
I
Jesus crust thank you for the problem right now. I know it did catch you. Thank you, man
Attacks thank you to the problem
You look like they want to square up and re-clear out towards seamal. This is
Risky, it's not a shot. Go there with the right with the right. We need to get this one. Do you see the charge aim?
It's been nothing but on point
Oh my goodness
There is a bit of an awesome here, nice shot, couldn't quite.
One away from another result.
Nine to nine here for EG, they are finding it level.
I'm telling you, these mound fights when you play against Double T-List teams.
Say it ain't so mummy.
Say it ain't so.
And this is their mapek too.
But when they do it together, there is a little bit of danger, you're right.
you do on an anti-eco but it also puts in the back of MMR's heads that mound is a
really dangerous place to go towards and that then means that bow is gonna have a
little bit more freedom holding it when it's the weak side of the pop he pops a
little weird I don't like that I don't like that I have to site for free but
we'll get raise all right yeah we do
committed here this is a be pop you're plenty of disposal if you are maybe
But each year already once they're ahead. They are just fully vacated
There it is
Time is there from the rocket sales straight past but they get one of their own ears
We're on that one up just from now. There it is fuse dropping down
He wants to step always just lands himself into the nades. That's what's fighting all of it now attacks
Just waiting in the wings able to at least punish that one retake at this point
Crumbling it to dust. Anyways, good save this round very quick round from M. I'll be a
That's a good save.
I don't know if that was a reaction based off seeing dishezines off over towards C, or
whether they had pre-planned the B-exec right from the off.
But either way, that's just a strap pulled from the book.
They're in and out.
Before HG can even realise what's going on.
It's going to give them a bit of a lead here.
They didn't even have to use that many of their ults.
I mean, it's super good.
Sure.
Sure.
But, pit, nightfall, pretty useful later.
Mozzino?
Yep.
Question marks?
Yeah, that's what he was saying.
He was, it looked like he was miles away, to be honest.
Question marks?
What is Bro doing over there?
He will be going down still.
He might not make too much of a difference.
He got plenty of money.
Each of us in the G as well.
Into the committee quite a lot.
There's an overdrive, there's a showstopper,
there's a scene in the replay here committed.
That kill on Dizizino is so important
because in the middle of the steel garden,
when guns are being taken away,
Dizizino's ultimate is the answer to that.
I counted to that. In fact, he died so early.
It was very important for Mavir.
Early fake A pressure here, going back into Zerona.
Oh my god.
He's holding contact with Pain Cakes to support.
Oh my god.
We get this kill, they instinct go towards C.
We uh, we paranoia.
See that flash sent flying forwards, but they hear it. Over towards C mount.
Yeah, I see first.
Gonna force the issue for you.
Oh god, oh god, oh god.
Yeah!
Yeah, so he's catching the one.
Obviously.
anything still did his job super now risky
nice try transfer to open wide masino feeling pressured
his pink is the one caught into a corner is actually it might be other ones that are looking
to see if they can just take him out that good support from asbestos coming back and making
sure that that wasn't what the fuck is that they shot straight through the wall asbestos
side step and most of this one straight up taking the fights
It's impossible to save just so you literally can't win this.
This is the Aspras performance that you are telling your grandchildren around the fire
on the rocking chair.
I think it would be reasonable to talk about Aspras this year, this year is his worst,
one of his worst, I'm not sure.
It's not like he's been atrocious, but the bar was set so high.
Yeah, based on his other word we already tried to see the performances
Every single year without fail. Yeah, even 2025 where they flopped at Toronto. They were at Toronto
Okay, good thing is we can we can afford to buy here was
astonishing to we can afford it all right by
replicate this year
We need her
The sound follow
Returning to that city where he had a heartbreak in the Lock-In Finals, didn't he?
Robbed of a trophy there.
It was.
He was on that last hand when he was on loud.
But if he can return back there and then possibly make it to a Grand Finals, give himself a
chance at champions once more, he's got an incredible record at taking his teams deep.
And he's the perfect style for the wounds, I think.
But they're a long way from that.
They are.
But I'll tell you, one game at a time, and EG is still not done just yet, it's a lot
and this in his mouth I could go in any which way direction that is he for this all superman actually for another fee
But still contained and maintaining with that composure. Oh, yeah on top of it with zefkin
That's what's alive leading at the charge boom. What's that?
All right, I thought it was clear
Tap of the plant
Seen if there's a reaction from EG. Do you commit a pity to this one?
Hit before the plant!
There's opportunities for EG to creep into the site.
I think we're okay.
Maybe are.
We still have Dark.
Push into a corner here.
Nice!
There's a way, and a spam will just remove Zekin from the picture.
It's all done.
We're okay, I think we're okay.
We still have Dark.
He's going to be contesting with the Trailblazer as well.
This is going to be really tough.
How do you even weave in and out?
Finds the right corner.
Spam as well.
Oh.
Directions beginnable.
To the K-Kick scene, potentially fighting against him with that satchel play.
Just trying to wrangle the beast that is his rifle one bullet left faster about a sidearm and it's all watched for
Holy shit great recovery good job. They should play by EG there with a product right there kill there
Yeah, they had the tools to be able to navigate
They're not good Spanish all they got their spam kill really early on
They still have paid all right to whether it's 3d1 and they control all of the angles outside of the pit
Supermended gods work here, man. They are having so much success out of this mound fight
Even here where they, I guess you could say technically lose it, so it wouldn't be able to pick up two.
It just softens up this hit, so that EG are able to clean it up at the end.
Night and day difference between their attack and their defense half.
They'll be input together.
They are clinging on.
And the way to hold on.
Just trailing to one round for now.
MIBR, no slouches, no cage, you've got a bit of a reflight.
Yeah, I'm not sure, is this a trap play of cam contact?
There's four players here, it should be.
It's trying to make you feel like it's just bowed, that's what it's been for most of these rounds,
but that's going to be a stun ricocheting out for Black Rubble.
And the natives are trying to set up these fights with a paranoia, it goes both ways there,
and it's beautiful utile.
No, no, no, I mean MIBR in general just read that so perfectly.
It's actually so sad.
The trailblazer came out. I think they escaped the game away there
Gotta be doing that off cam contact rather than using the dog. Is there a way we can use our cypher all tier?
You just getting ahead of themselves here
Seekers you can be committed around like this just to stop them from guessing what the players could be all three points
Always a rubber, but hasn't budged the eG players that much. They're still
Drifting in and out. They are scattered to the winds when it comes to the state of array at this match at this round pain cakes
I mean, they're giving us the 50-55. It's right here
But this time not quite put together bow straight alongside him time being bought now and his plan is being pressed
Pushed back in a way some comfortable territory for my beer and now that one's in a 2v3
These guys are legit dog shit all underneath our shoes
I can respect M.I.B.R. wanting to be proactive there and taking the fight into a G into EG
but
Asbestos got a go for a wider swing to play his teammate in. It does get caught.
It is quite a nice shot, honestly, from EG's dominated head. Genuine crumbs. The team play just falls apart a little bit for M.I.B.R.
Something that was very successful for them earlier on this map.
What a recovery. These guys are literal crumbs.
backfruits forced to use his second time out
They were up. Maybe I'm really broke right now only two rifle rounds one from the EG in the first half
Now I mean only three in the other direction for my beer flipped the script completely
Awesome that last time out of my beer now
No, and it's eG taking fights into my beer that's actually working for the guns out. What a horrendously played
made 4v3, like genuinely from an IBR. What is this random sense of panic? They literally
didn't even have to take back side by the way. All they had to do was smoke in front
of them and plant the fucking bomb and then spam the people that are spamming. If there's
a guy drop spamming or something trying to get the bomb down and they win the round.
instead of wide swing 50-50 at back side.
I've been able to get multi-kills.
Each little micro team play that way,
they're playing off each other has been very strong in defence too.
That's what it's going to take to go on a run here.
It's a lower bracket, it's elimination.
The goal, top four, makes our power up.
For both of these teams,
people are already talking about it,
skinning the game for both Dijazine and Asmas on either side of the stage.
I have a normal second chance.
What the fuck?
Your name is M-I-B-R is overrated by the way.
What is this coffee pasta?
The name value is that the pressure is on M-I-B-R, not on EG.
EG get to play with a little bit of the freedom.
Exactly.
Being a sleeper team.
Especially on this map, which they are not favoured on.
And the fact that they've drawn it level at 11-11?
Maybe I'll be realising very quickly, this is an open A site, Verna was pretty hard
committed with the spike in his grips.
We need to lure kills, we need to lure kills.
I can see the latest one passively from that blue room angle.
Yeah, they just got control.
Why would Tex fight this?
Okay, I was going to say, there's no way he's walking in there.
Oh, another Feezy.
EG hunts the lure.
Um...
Remember, Zeno.
Now he's being pinched.
The boombot on one side, two players on the other.
There it is.
Final shred of that boombot is at least going to be portraying him.
He always gets one, man.
Now to the side, has this been removed?
What are these guys doing, bro?
Take out Tex, the problem is there.
There might be other ones now, down players.
That's a good name.
He needs to sail forwards, but a flash in the face is perfect again.
Aspas pushed out of the picture.
No!
He fights it still.
He hits that!
Plans his feet firmly to the ground.
It seemed to be set up second time.
Pressure's there, and a bit of spam.
There it is.
Straight through that smoke.
I just gifted MBR up to 12.
EG going for that same play where they try to put pressure in onto Mizzino and onto Tex.
Mizzino takes one, Tex fumbles. I mean pulling out the smoke in that situation is crazy.
But it's Aspas in my opinion really bails the team out with another incredible shutdown of his counterpart on the other side.
And look it's PAINED to Zzine.
I need to see Aspas to show up bro.
They don't show Aspas his kill.
and get into my VR
yes it was a peculiar is a really nice word for that a very generous word for that
GG
they've got to win this round out to take it to OT
they're dominating mount control again and maybe i want no piece of it
actually hold on
looking to re-clear it
this could be everything here we go this is one away from showstopper as well
Oh
And there it is activating the place I'm ready for it. I'm gonna start forward to the round and there it is
Stunt from the hand. Stun G!
The potential to sit back
Let the fight really come to them. They forced the issue for MIBR and Texas left to pick up the pieces
I'm on God if we win this map, I'm playing the jersey on.
Look at so much value out of that.
This defense side being pulled all the way back into OT, barring an absolute miracle
here from Tex.
Who's staring at this, wondering how on earth he's going to retrieve that spike on the horizon.
Is that our range of the trend, Lex?
Flash down?
Not quite.
Four players stacked up.
This is going 12-12.
Yeah, it definitely is.
OT!
to the brink eg self-belief will power x1 yeah they won before the season
started it's the same stuff that's working for them they've got a fairly
simple game plan they're going to dominate see my own control and then
they're gonna play retake over to a day when they play retake a game they are
gonna hunt mozino attacks to try to kill them retake on tight or torrent
I wasn't quite out of the range of a child, like, listen, I don't think that made the difference
on whether he was winning the one before or not.
Disaspiration.
Opportunity, though.
One time out, given to both teams, coaches eject the little crumbs on my roster.
I thought this was a super team.
A super crumbs.
I should be able to adapt.
They've got the quality to be able to adapt, especially on this map.
It'd be a disappointment if they failed.
Potentially they have a bloodbath here with the door, put it up as a chance.
Superb about DTPs, Echum was looking like he was caught unaware.
This was the half that EG struggled with, they were attack side rounds.
Every time they went over to Mound, on the attack...
NUGH!
Trying to bake out the vice wall, they'll get spammed, cut to pieces, shredded.
At some point they just won't even considering it.
It looks like they're gonna go and test that now.
I'm not leaving anybody as an insert though and that's a prowler to clear a lot of the space still in my VR
I'm getting withdrawals!
Bro, it's a shiver, I gotta call
We'll see Bob, don't lose much HP
the jazeno has already inserted the satchel up towards overhead so on a straight-up
incident I'm just guess work into the smoke supermost want to collect that
kills a big one we're going to go to our snake button and a it will be missed
now let's push it off the plant this is a now let's situation is in the right
positions and with shots like this why not might be a well on their way to try
to win this one out gliding forwards to fight taking a three-two-one but I still
top of things, MIBR, and second, activating alongside Aspas.
The plant pressure creates that situation where MIBR is surrounding EG, and I just
got to look at this guy, Aspas.
It's the Aspas of legend.
The fights that he's winning are giving you that feeling.
There really can't be kicking this before everybody else, though.
I mean, maybe he won't be breaking the kill, Rocky Oates, but he owns most of the...
The idea was right. The idea to fight because the ball needs to go down, right?
So taking that fight is the right idea.
But Zerona should never die before everyone else like Peaks.
Like there's got to be like all together and we would have won the water fight.
Why not regroup and hit A? Because it could be a guy just off angled cutting them off.
In which case they would be wasted time. Like they would waste so much time and at that point the rotate beats them.
I don't know what the right move is.
The idea was good. The execution was poor. The idea was very good.
The A side is being left empty towards the rounds of the defense.
It's just bow home.
It's been the cam that's been the thing holding contact.
Either a tree or above where Zerona is playing.
Zerona, smoke, placed, and what the fuck?
Stepped, he's found a timing pass.
It takes us, take it out.
This is fast.
Now what?
Their force stuck in the door.
The lurks, the lurks.
You don't have an option.
You have to go away.
Please don't fuck it from this.
Don't throw this.
Mazenio is handing it to us on a silver platter.
He's handing it.
It's Dr. Aspa's second, and Werner wants more, these have been heavy hitters.
The name value speaks for itself.
It has to be broken, contact please.
Forward's paranoia.
It's going to be missed towards the sides.
Arona just finds his targets still.
Taking out on the end.
TP cuts her to the cross and locked into the aim of the trades.
Intact and immaculate, EG.
Not done yet.
It's another round where I think you've got to give a lot of credit to Potter coming out of the timeout.
She doesn't overcomplicate it, just a small adjustment.
Anticipating the front might want to put some pressure on bow's setup and play a bit of a contact to approach the attack side
But Sarona is there to dominate this as soon as that the options gone. It's
You keeping it calm too you can tell that the pressure is on the other side of things see the expectations leveled against this
MBR team
Achieve greatness at all cost
It feels like whoever cracks an attack side is going to win this map.
It would be a bigger win for EG, it's just based on the map select.
It's cold bro, it's so cold in my apartment here.
All calm and patience before the storm.
EG you've been doing a lot of that winning on sunset.
I might be a pretty happy to play that after you've been here.
Okay, we're headed towards C, again the weaker site.
Very comfortable closing out the series.
I know I've asked I've asked a lot of you, but I need you again to group it mount
One last time baby break through
So similar to other rounds, they don't leave anybody inserted. Yeah, it's again that haunt that comes down over here
It's what Marv is coming moving the defenders
EG got in through the vice setup previously. They just couldn't hold on in the post plan
The group forced it. You're gonna do the same again. This is a straight in this time TP from superman up towards the top
Mazzino forwards again, he's trying to lay it down the lead.
The hail of it, Bernaud straight away in the EG.
When he's playing top 3, we're going around the water for...
Go, go through that slope. You need help.
We need trades, Mazzino.
Let's go, baby.
Mazzino taking a cheeky peek. It's the Zezina.
Just shut him down, put him down into the grave and not gently at that.
Flash forwards in the face. The Zezina's a bit of a team line.
I'm pretty sure Bane Cakes just offered up the Zezina onto a platter.
Can't be giving him any other ways to get back into this
because it is mightily important.
We are at all ones right now.
The next round, Sashel forwards, cuts it up, and across!
Nasty with the movement.
And another Sashel as well, just offsets it.
Penguins don't keep it locked down.
1v1, second versus Superman.
Whips his way around, and a winner fights out!
How has it crumbled again?
That should have been the round for EG.
A 4v2 post plant.
But I think you called out the critical moment, Bren.
Pancakes with a flub and he does just serve up his star player on a platter
Look at this situation here, they're gonna show it in the replay the team. Oh, that is brutal
And that's the opening this though crazy is gross I suppose somehow coming up with the goods every time
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
As if they're cool and calm and collected at that point, that could have been the round that broke everything wide open.
We're actually losing a crumb.
Whoever wins an attack round here is probably going to take Lotus.
And yet now the team can find it.
It's 14-13 and this time Poster's the one taking a timeout.
Because the pressure's back on in the other direction.
Put us on them to see if they can find a solution.
Bazzini is literally just doing everything in his power to play for us right now.
You can come up with corrections, adjustments that you can make.
They have been successful in stage 2, but when you get into OT, your playbook, at this point,
is just a scrap of paper. You already...
What was the end of?
You've got to find solutions and it can get messy.
It can get chaotic.
Pancake's pretty active in the comms there, trying to lay out.
4v2 is fucking diabolical. I can't. I can't.
We had it with that.
She pancakes a little bit of bail.
I mean, he has got 17 assists right now in the sky, and I think most of those are coming from some really nice flashes.
But it only takes one mistake at the end of a map to throw away an opportunity,
and undo all of that good work that he honestly has been doing throughout the map on Sky.
And it's tough to play Sky on this map.
You've seen it from other people who've tried to run it.
And maybe I want a chance though to close out their map pick.
They really need this one.
They do. They'd be breathing a sigh of relief, especially with Sunset on the horizon.
the phenomenal map for EG. Again, early take this time, bit of pressure from EG, they're
fighting out. So, I had to be vain, Mazino did not only pray to it, bowed out, we offered
up the rest of EG grouping up on the board, say.
These rounds are so similar to each other.
Yep, just surrounded.
This time, though, they're going to go into a B finish, I think, based on where Mazino
has inserted himself.
You know, critically, Mazine, I'm not going down.
Doesn't have the entirety of B main control, but he's going to look to clear it now as the rest of his team starts pouring out.
That's a good call.
He's going to get the spam.
I was just trying to find any sort of target at all, but it is vacated. The site.
Open access. MIVR can get themselves into a post plan here.
The fight is called for. EG just moving away around with a shot.
Cracking one. Did a zine.
Straight in there.
Side steps most of it now.
Please throw. Please throw. Please throw.
Like taking fours of the horde, it's bow again.
Bumper by the targets, he's finding them all.
EG, they flood in, they swarm it.
Sight is there to take it at this point.
He's got to put it all on pieces together.
Inevitability, 14-14, we are going again.
This map is going the distance.
What a moment for MIBR's team play to crumble again here.
Bow has just delivered these kills one at a time.
God damn, KillTix puts down second hand Aspass like that.
That's right, they're playing with the Crumps. We're literally losing the Crumps, we cannot lose the fucking Crumps.
Dust particles.
Absolute mincemeat
They can still peels back all the way towards a fight still offered up at this time. I'm a I'm not missing around
eager for it
There's a run a going down a key player. I can tell baby. It's not how bow is moving. He's feeling it always fun
Bow is feeling it right now. I like the way he's moving. We're just gonna go and take a right at the beginning
They're coming heaven guys. We're the coming heaven guys. We can't let DJ's and die for free. He's by himself
We don't even have a heaven player
in the back pit, the nades, sails. It's gonna be very uncomfortable, pushed straight into
a corner, 30 HP is all it's got to deal with, but maybe a bit of a half commitment to Saturn
is going to miss. Oh my god. Oh my god. They're not clearing it. They're not clearing it.
They're just gonna buy time now. Jumping, spotting around, it's a blind fire. They're
loudly at that. Trying to run and control these rifles forwards, but nobody... COUNDS
FOR IT ALL! DIZASTAR STRIKES! It's Dizina, coulda been that playmaker, but it all goes
a little bit too wrong in MIBR. On the verge once more. A couple of moments of
catastrophe here. On these attack side rounds for EG. Opportunities that could
have been that 4v2. I just got flashed. This round where he whiffs. I mean that is
just a straight up whiff. These guys are so crummy they don't even clear drop.
They threw one nade in there like it's clear. It's like yo.
much same defensive setup, except this time there's just the enus of one leaning over towards A, instead of Zerona.
Fight from MIBR over towards C, man, this has been a problem point for them.
Superman, they've already got a high-low setup, you are gonna be overwhelmed swiftly here, forward still, and accounted for.
These fights are only gonna get put together well enough to TP barely out of there.
This player still goes both ways, this is MIBR just activating, getting involved, straight into the C site.
We're ready to flood.
They have no control.
I'm going to get a noise complaint.
and a space created from his star players once more comes down to it who can get that attack side around first
I was stepping up
Shit, we're gonna return defense back to back where he has shut down
What mr. BR are trying to achieve?
EG were so ready for this
I like the opportunism from zekker taking all of that space on site when he realized
We have the opening, but EG were right there!
Come on baby.
They've got a lot of pressure with those flashes.
Oh my god, we have a tack-up, a tack-up, here we go, get that first kill, get that first kill, make them panic.
Listen, it was getting precarious there, there was two ops on the attack side for a second.
Final few moments, they've barely got the rifles in their hands.
I think that's to try to catch Vernau.
When he's been going for that jiggle at the beginning of the round.
Ah, Aspas isn't his god spot.
Aspas isn't god spot.
Will he?
Onto Aspas? Onto Tex?
Blue room doors being cracked open.
That might be part of their defensive default.
The jazine is phenomenal with this operator.
They're gonna get one chance here,
the peak that he's waiting for.
Committed into the position, shot through into the wall.
Damage turned and needs to be that return of the fire.
The satchels not gonna be saving you from-
Oh no, no, no, no.
Traged, traged, traged, traged, traged.
One HP, one HP, traged, traged.
One HP, ten HP.
One HP, one HP, twice.
But he's caught.
A tight place there.
You're gonna see if he can get caught.
What's going on there?
Chaos and Carnage in second!
Keeps it controlled!
It's an absolute gimme for Zekin at the end!
A 3k to shut down a chaotic round!
Those stories that B saved them.
Those stories that B literally saved them.
That would have just...
That would have walked in if that was happening and killed Zekin before anyone even died.
But that that's just a major mistake
You are gonna get those in overtime though
The tension of pressure is at its max
You can feel it on either side of the stage and again another difference into every day it's over
Can MMORPG are getting the line up is the question EG?
Play ready and waiting prowler is gonna be calling for it
Oh, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel.
Good read, though.
They're faking, they're faking, guys, they're faking, they're faking, fuck, we're panicking and they're faking.
Mazenio and fucking, uh, of the Tex.
Are they faking? Like, I don't know what they're doing.
What are they doing?
Just off of the timing, it's bow!
It's going fishing!
Bow has been good for it.
Someone's coming up with it.
Oh, look at this as well.
The movement across the map, back towards C.
Oh my, Reed.
What a Reed.
Did they have a par... a paraller?
They do, they have parallelers.
Fuck.
They want to take first contact.
Fuck, fuck.
This paranoia is gonna hit, they're gonna go B.
They're gonna go B off this.
They're gonna hit the orb.
Paranoia is gonna be perfect as well, to dissuade this one forwards.
There's no stun for Dizzy Zink.
Paranoia's gonna be swayed.
A little bit too early, way too early.
Still garden, they're gonna be escaping that one onto the side arms with the jazine just side steps
It's still active with the rifle. We got to concede up this space
They want to flood in taking a fight forwards now, but it's still up paranoia active
I'm I'll it's second without you till the jazine starts his ground alongside bow
Oh, you thought it a shade of tail that is mighty good for eachee
This is what I'll be watching right now
The never-ending game here on Lotus
between M.I.B.R. And the eachee
Now we need to fake a see-hit that's me to fake a see-hit with Scythe walking in and then one back to a when he
Inevitably has the site. I don't care. We need to take all the way through event and they will all
Because of how bad see has been because they're fighting uphill. This isn't their man pick. This is a brand new come for them
They've even thrown away some really big opportunities and the yet they are still in it. They still have that grit
It's been MRBR with the one round needed to drag this map to a close. But EG keep finding that grit tenacity
undisplayed.
This is Walder. Big player advantage.
They're dated out. Might as well.
This wall in your face. Zerona just steps straight past it.
What?
He has no one else playing with him here.
He's straight up despite the player advantage.
I LOVE MONSTERS TAKEN FOR GOOD REASONING!
It's what's necessary for EG to get one step closer!
They messed up a 4v2 though, post-plant on seed previously.
This one is more scattered, maybe more opportunities for timings and 1v1s.
You've gotta close this out!
Werner, he's been unreal in the clutch for surely this is too much to contend with, especially with the barrel poking out!
It's where his position shows to one and two, that's fast, barely on top of it!
of its
Tempers
Tempers the final boss and EG
Crack it up
They're on the impetus. We got one before and I think I would disconnect it
Nine rounds in OT before we see an attack side go to either of these teams
Oh my god, it's too wrong!
Now? Now we missed?
Now we missed?
And this side, it does not care about that!
Please, Sirone is walking forward here.
Straight into tech!
Oh!
And how could we be in a situation where the attackers are responding immediately?
Too many risks taken, and it's all going too wrong.
EG, look at the players going forward, they're out of play at his advantage.
We're two, we're two.
That is the answer to the default right now, still.
So what are we doing? They will respect that space.
Again, Pentakix Utility being important there to set up his players.
I love Mazzinho, Mazzinho, always, you can always count on Mazzinho.
with 3v3 any which direction looking great to close okay it's just delete
sim system straight back here but it needs to be covered the plant down but
this is he not going for it circling swirling around trying to find it we
know that we know that both of us they I drop anything e.g. this has to be it
chance of a lifetime away to close this map out that's comma comma the door
it all the way a slide glides and all the way won't be one second this is
Bob finally Bob the chapter of Lotus it reaches an end and EG they sail straight to
sunset they're fucking crumbs here they are fucking crumbs I can move to tell
They had a 5v3 and they crumbed it away.
We can tell that this is elimination.
You can tell that there's pressure.
You can tell that there's tension on the stage.
But it was EG eventually with that one attack.
They crumbed it away.
Zorona dropping 31 kills.
This new composition for EG, making all the difference.
And stealing away MRBR's best chance of being
able to go up one away soon.
Oh my god, Jersey, good call.
to better map wait let me put up the snap
I'm being down so deep in the hole
holy shit bro
absolutely grueling challenge they were faced with
what the fuck kind of ACS is this from us
the odds of sunset is that next map
one map up in the series
elimination on the line
it is electric here in the right games arena

God fucking damn.
We actually just did it.
I didn't even check the stats fully.
Oh man.
What a game we got in our hands.
Let's check the VLR real quick.
Crumbs.
All right
No, the problem is the problem is that they're they're underestimating us I
Know I'm not muted. I know I'm not muted you can't get me
who's gonna take this one from him and now it's not gonna happen this time
wow lock sound the ace
Being shaped right now. Holy hot hands coming from stock though forces to off the displacements crazy, but they're not expecting that angle in text
Holy shit, I'm here with Potter ahead of map to a nail biter first
The map one it felt like an entire series altogether in the timeouts. They were gone after a while
What did it feel like watching the team?
What were you hearing that you were loving from the boys as they secured that win?
You know the micro comms and our problem-solving just kept getting better and better
Um, it seemed like especially in those OT rounds. We're learning as we fight a lot of those to be to
That we failed to convert early on in the rounds and our confidence was beaming so I'm so proud of the guys
It definitely seemed like we were just casual. So I love that. What do you tell them here before map 2?
I'm telling them that job's not done sunset is MIBR is one of their favorite maps
And we just happen to share a lot of the similar map pulls
So we got to stay focused and play just as confidently as we did in that one. That's a good luck coach
You qualify as do you think Potter's the best coach of NA Valorant?
Yeah, I guess probably right a walk in the park
It was a no-holds-barred brawl between these two teams.
Crucially, though, it's EG that can get that important overtime attack side round, Vans.
You were losing your mind.
That was fucking awesome.
I injured my wrist and it snatched full weight.
Sad the way this game went in map 1, I injured my wrist and it snatched full weight.
And I had sharp pain every time.
Is the chair in top for my year? Am I gonna have to get surgery? Wait, what? How?
I wonder how that happened.
It's pretty fucked.
He slammed... Oh, he could have slammed it. He's not a desk slamer, though.
I don't know. That's fucked up.
G and Potter was saying it too.
The game back is super important here.
The last time they see you,
he's a good ass dude.
Um, that was very, very unfortunate.
When I talked about the constant Burdo
and also Tex Clutch's that had against EG
was on that Haven map that went into overtime
that MIBR stole away from EG.
This time, EG brings it back and they're winning an OT.
Took a lot more rounds the last time though than 18 to 16.
But Geronimo right here, man.
I just got here, how the fuck did MIBR lose?
Okay, if you want my real analysis,
M I B R literally.
Like I keep saying their crumbs and shit, but the reason I am saying those things,
there's there's some truth in what I'm saying in that as a team,
it genuinely feels like they overcomplicate these simplest situations.
And it bites them in the S.
They gain advantage as well.
They default pretty well.
And then after that, they overcomplicate everything.
And I don't know I don't know what what's happening in the comms. That's making them do that
At all or bitty thing in the prime then
Like I don't understand the line only took 24 rounds that are dropped 30 kills
This was still back in for a lot
But another thing I wanted to add was that Potter was mentioning here coach Potter was saying oh, yeah
I was very happy in the overtime that we stayed very common story dude
there was no comments and that at some point out is an ally or alex versus
story for a really amazing alex thank you probably the position that I thought
it was an ally with the spell when it spelt ill have the other one they
superman TP trying to play perfect I mean sort of I think they are trying to
outplay their opponents a little too much yeah kind of falling into that
fanatic trap of trying to they're trying to do too much for in situations where
very, very few things are actually necessary to win the round. And I think that is causing
a lot of chaos in the rounds. And then when they start losing numbers, because they see
it not working, it makes them second guess themselves. The rest of the players that are
alive is what it feels like. It feels like they, that's what's happening. I see these
rounds falling apart in ways that make no sense to me when I see the names of the players.
G, thank you for the prime. And Mad Makako, thank you for the prime.
Bro, they are retaking with 1-8. Which retake are you talking about?
The C?
Are you going bald still? Bro, let me, first of all, this is one map. The game is not over by any means.
also secondly. We have to beat MIBR into beating loud into beating G2 or
Lev. Wait, who's who's here? Yeah, it's a beating G2 or Lev into beating
NRG or 100 Thieves. That's what needs to happen. Then I'll go bald. Yeah, the fuck
you want about. Game plan as always, but they kind of stuck through it the whole
time and we just completely failed at adapting and understanding how we
We can potentially expose them or how we got to play.
We're too impatient, accelerating too much.
We knew that they like to play like this, fast rotating, and we just lost our patience.
I told the boys, like, to me, it's a slow game.
They like to slow the game down, and we got to be comfortable winning in those slow environments.
So it's something that we just got to improve on.
Bro, thank you.
Also, one thing to mention, for example, when Asphas native drop on the Aresake, the one
where DG is in kind of a lift on the guy's back or whatever, he had 30 HP, they didn't
even consider a player to be dropped after that. Which to me is mind-blowing that there
just can't be someone dropped. Like these things are like weird to me. It almost seems
like they're trying to get the round over with almost. And missing out on like doing
the things correctly. Step by the steps aren't correct. They are skipping steps in their
retakes. A team like LAP for example would never skippers a step in the retake.
And in this map of Scented, if there are any changes, if there are any adaptations, any moments where the teams need to slow down, they are going to be the ones to do it.
So, but inside show, we'll be joining us again with map 2.
Is it a coaching issue? I think it's a pressure issue. I think that for some reason they start feeling the pressure when it, when things get a little close or...
I don't know what it is. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. It could be a bunch of things.
It's pretty easy to like speculate on a bunch of things, but you don't actually know what the
problems are. Like none of these players are bad by any means, but as a team, it doesn't make sense
to me how some of these things can go overlooked.
Can EG make champs if they just make it to the lower finals because of the point system?
No, they need to make it all the way to the grand final.
One said in this elimination game, there are two points, three points.
We have two points.
Three points.
At its peak currently for MIBR, this has been mentioning it and alluding to it.
This is kind of the entirety of the year.
They were the spoke team built for success, for greatness.
They're currently being stopped by EEG as an MIBR team.
After Verno and Mazinio switched the IGL role, Verno got better and Mazinio became worse.
In your experience, how much does IGL affect your overall mechanics?
I mean, it does if you micro a lot.
It does if you micro the mid-round a ton, but if you have players who are calming constantly, then it's not as bad. You're fine, usually.
But I do agree, like, you're always going to lose a sense of, like, you...
The mid-round responsibility is yours, and that doesn't just mean you call a strat in the mid-round, and that's it. You stop talking after that.
It's the post plant
The the micro fights that you take in them in the bomb site on the the retake you're calming these things
Constantly that that is that falls on you. Yeah, the little adjustments. Everything is on you
So it's all of those things accumulated that that kind of hurts the mechanics a little bit sometimes
They always know now, especially if you don't have if you have good chemistry with your teammates
Where you're kind of hive mindy a little bit or you have enough things drilled
where no comms are really necessary in those situations, like or few comms are necessary.
Is that I agree with everything that frog said in his interview about the fact that
EG didn't change too much and I'll be asking you what they were doing. They knew that they
had to play slowly and they failed. Anyway, he's a zero. Thank you for the problem.
EG are going to be playing by no means is his game over perhaps with their cyber with their
Viper they're gonna be walking out on mid-timing sometimes they're gonna be on the attack side looking to take some a space with the Viper wall
We know how EG are going to approach this map, but the execution of stopping it has been lacking
Not gonna lie, I was using the Furious E2 game as soon as you said map 3 isn't this I passed out and just woke up
Welcome EG is up 1-0
They're gonna have to turn things around to stay in this series to stay alive
the tournament to even have a chance of making it to Sao Paulo. That's not even getting into
the business that is at Champs. You can forget about that. Early odd here for the Pisterons
we talked about and highlighted the importance, e.g. it's paved the way for success multiple
times Pisterons into bonus. It's walked in. Oh, wow, Zendis is dead. Wait, wow! One more
Oh my god, it gets...
Pistola!
I'm Pistola, I'm Pistola!
Bow, what a hold.
Bow, what a hold.
James, thank you for the prime, man.
Viper wall makes it so easy to hold backside control. Zerona spots it, takes the contact, drops text down to 50.
You now died at any sheriff's shot from Zerona, just you know all pain cakes.
Found us. We can't get him out. We cannot get him out. Let's go.
I think if we're looking at these early rounds to take an idea of where might be our rat.
Not impressed with the way they take the backside control.
What a huge 2k, man. What a huge 2k.
a massive spacing create so much of a distraction to see me come in and then just easily trade
it out but that is a pained expression, excruciating.
Coach, I know you proud right now. I take my Swiss Army CT.
One team, knowing the coach is proud of them, the other team, their coach is absolutely
shocked.
pain and that's just the first round here of a massive thing for mvr
the big diligent mvr one of the better teams in terms of just trying to
prioritize these alts think about the long-con the wind conditions to get
deeper into a half I think it's a big priority for them they go let's do some
damage to EG here. Just to slowly have to win the round but just make that bonus as least
likely as possible.
I mean these Cypher trips are deadly for this strat.
Chipping away through the wall, eventually getting away through EG, not really dodging.
Well in their face, then fight forwards, Arona, some potshots fired off there. Definitely
happy to concede if a lot of space towards the back of the site now. A flash on the path
thing, pretty good but again, Bao is just caught tight to the corner. He's going to be going
down as Arona!
Tiger Rich and Byam over him.
Whoa!
It's down by Aspas!
Blinding speed and pace!
Blink and you miss it!
Suddenly it's turned to a 2v2.
Forget about the damage, it's a winnable round.
That was unbelievable from Aspas.
It's a double contact, we clear.
EG loved doing these.
30 seconds, less than that now.
25, the tap on the plumber.
He's trying to pull these players out, and there it is.
Paranoia forwards, but needs to be a timing.
Activating Aspas, he's missed a mark on this one.
Ring around the Rosies, trying to find his isolated ones.
Yes, he actually has it, he literally has it.
He's not a crumb.
It's a full sandwich.
That's a subway club.
They and in the end
It's just too much
But he picks up the Guardian at the end though, I gotta say I was believing
Look what it's done to EG's economy. It does not look good
It does not look like another one of those situations where EG are gonna be able to win the bonus that bonus round win
Right in this match is going down now because if we both of us done here, this would be everything
You spoke about it
I'll be able to blow up the round win, but
They'll take here, when I free up this, it's like taking off the orb tap, and that's us
we'll go down as a result of it.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, barely managed!
Whose job is that?
Much of Cloudy's on this team, much of Kron's every move.
That kill would have been huge.
That kill would have been huge.
Overno took so much damage, he's been dropped down to 8 HP.
Tex has been very patient in mid as well.
At some point, might see the backstab onto Superman.
It's gonna shake past it.
It's a risk of the timing, but...
Tryna bait behind to engage one here.
Tex can hear the cam from Bows.
This is a good bait, MBR though.
We know it's B now. Now we know it's B.
Now we know it's B, just based off that.
Too early, but now the clock can't be too patient. No is an enemy. Wow. Well played exactly right text
Oh, he wins around to seal this one up. Yeah, there's no snake bite. There's no paranoia
Surely is a runner and Superman can't do anything here even with the low time
I fall was a place a low text there. It's finally getting in for Superman
This out he was one shot away from making his history
But down to the bitter end here bowies softened up from earlier like taking tech surely
has his number back to the site holding locked onto this off angle bow expecting
a bit of a peak pre-amze didn't finds his first but there it is sees its eyes
of life waiting for the reswing text has it all thanks this round more
aggressive setup there text taking contact on a pretty shallow angle and
then Werner was ready to swing but I mean to some degree yes very patient
Actually they controlled the regression and then they've led the clock down
However, there was 8 HP from verno that stood between Superman winning this round or not
Because when he kills both of those players there, that is the spike being pushed in from be made to be trapped where we signed them
Get him on the other side in the results listen, it's the sink guess at a point fucky superman okay
No, bro
Oh, this is allowed to happen
How is this even allowed to happen like this, guys?
What the fuck?
Why is she chasing the premise?
the other
e.g. got wiped away here
expecting that to be a bit of a pump fake and might be a full committed on it
those rounds with the high tempo
you look pretty good
as long as you're confident
so if you need salt for next round as well, it's fucked
we gotta make them use an alt next round
on an eco
I would love to keep this gun
Just trying to maneuver his way around where Tex was spotted
Like you said, I mean it the kills were flooded in before the plan was even down at this point
We've been waiting here for about a minute, but yeah
Maybe I look at more like
The form that they wanted to showcase in this the form that they brought in that first half of Lotus
They looked to be starting out very strong in this match. It's fine. We're matching them mechanically any round is winnable
here again the opening is good we can you go though at the very least we need
to make them use one of these two ults ideally just both these teams like mmbr
that were built for success this year they've not been doing so well have you
be again no a pressure whatsoever
out of playoffs. The weird old world in the MIA. They have the art. They're miles away
from that. And I think they've got to prove it to themselves.
Phoenix here, Sova here. We hear a lot. We hear a lot. But they're up to the task.
Right into Utah. It's got the all turn tough as well. Should be easy entry into this one,
but the drone just baits us.
Just walk in. Casuals. Casual is anything.
You have assigned this one. The blaze wall there.
Yeah, I like this default. Reminiscent of levitan's on split. Small pass back
right the fuck you're supposed to win this one
he's waiting on his side and listen he's
they should they should they should know
there it is mibr navigated well in terms of the dangers of the round everyone
find their own that's the wika bye here of e g
i do you think it might be all look very prepped so far in this stack off
On the RECA round, the B-split that they ran through market,
using the Phoenix wall to get past the Viper wall this round,
waiting out the fuel and then contacting through.
I think it shows you've got a good understanding of what you're up to.
Out of damage.
So name it a game here for Superman.
I'd love to see if you can dish anything more out of...
Yeah, it's fine. We have lots coming up too now.
We're good, we're good, we're good. We're actually good.
We can win this round.
This is the nature of when you have a map that you know it's almost guaranteed in the pool.
Yeah, it's a good one.
Defend side, defend side, it's okay, sorry.
We're in again.
My god, it's a fast A hit, the team is all...
It's a vault as well.
M.I.V. uh
He's not doing the silver alt though
One elbow
Oh
One elbow one elbow
Get the reincreases
One elbow one back side that blind
Good shot
What are we doing?
Why are we just running at them?
Keep running at them
Spazinho
I'm gonna go all the way back lane.
Wait. Wow, look at the respect he demands.
Alright, fares.
What the fuck are we doing? Where are we headed?
You know, turn the comms off.
I don't want to hear this breathing.
This is so awkward.
How many bullets?
That's more than you had.
I don't want to say something, I don't know, I feel like...
I was going to say, no one said nice try, what is the delay on the NT?
They left that site completely vacant, gave him an opportunity.
They gave him a lot of respect.
But that was also an attempt at a fast round from MLBR at the very beginning of it.
And the timing taken there from Dujacin, made the difference.
But it's also more passive positioning in general in this round.
It's not just in the clutch against Aspas where they back up.
Remember the fast round they ran on A previously?
It's actually scary winning that round with only one alive though.
We are low-key cuffed.
Or quite close rather.
And this time they sit back a lot further.
Just to not get caught by that.
Please, I need one more superhero around with the assault.
More of an aggressive look. Over here in B-Vane.
Drone taking a bit of space.
Threatening the Dijazine.
Paincakes?
He's reclaimed a bit of territory there.
I'll put up a bit of a free fight.
He's in the wrong place though.
He has a guardian there.
And he- okay.
Unconventional place.
I don't know about that decision-making but you got it, bro
We are trying to figure out what this defense setup looks like on a no, it's not tight here
Be endangered
Name is trained on the angle. See is his trips gonna be broken
Spam into the appropriate positions. Oh, Spobby. Yes, sir. Oh my ass was a rotor. Yes
Please please this big kill because they speak this dish dish the jewelist
I mean they really miss nice you will leap onto them
now just like that's a road of the one hot press into a corner it's a lovely little dink
gets the damage done but no killed claim as he knows still alive extra money to play around
As he goes on our side
What a recovery from Bernardo
Oh my god
I mean wow
But the eco is broken for EG, MIBR find that that big round that they were looking for.
Well, there goes all our money.
We needed that round.
Asbus recognising the bad economy, pigs are the hour.
And they're very aware of this threat as well.
The potential for Zerona to be put in the wall up and then go for a walk down tiles.
They do this fairly often, EG.
They like going for contact reclares.
There's contact pushes in general on the left side.
There's a better time for it when you're on the lower money.
As you can see here, EG, set up some sort of trap play, straight shot though, that was
in 2010.
They don't even hear all this.
The machine is going to be calling this, I think.
They hear nothing here.
They're being broken.
And now they do.
And now they do.
Right here.
They're dealing.
Now it's going to be used into the back of the site here.
I'm looking for a few more bits and pieces, potential kills, but I'm down.
Let's see if we can contain onto the flank here.
There's no comfortable for it.
Aspas outworn his hand, the paranoia sweeps though, it's a good connection, second's gonna
be pressed into the corner, need some help, but he's in stray shots in the dark.
Aspas is also gonna be going down as a result of it.
Crazy fight, he's mid by the way.
Yep, swinging around here, Pengis is taking him out, the layoffs start, we got the shot
Thoughts out in the midst of all of it for now again potentially help it out still paint
you
you
you
you
you
You
Doing games like this where he actually puts the big numbers up not just playing for part of the system
But becoming a star. Oh my god, he could do it for the finally broke as of how much the energy don't need arounds
Playing off massively here. So, you know, he's straight in and through though in for short
See if we can light up some of these players this is in
nice
One day one day. I just learned to think a mist
And he could round idea from M.M.B.R. With a double TP get shut down
EG happy about that one. They seem to have figured out how to stop this fast. They look
There's variations on it
But EG you're backing up
Fuck it, we use the ult, whatever it takes. And then refighting back in
Yo
They attacked me, flashed me, no one scaled on me. Yeah, all baiting
fucking there about the utility getting dumped on top bunch of fucking crumbs is what they
are no one actually went forward so ask pass looking to do it this way up make them use
utile yes sir yeah you did you've done great super you've done honestly just sensationally
well don't get spent I dare you to get spend actually take that a man control see what
happens call for the pause bait some utile to re-clear VG with a drone does catch sight
a second wait oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
give away the both dealers are there potentially missing take that real quick
let's get rid of him Aspas is baiting second to try to get some value out of
this position sent his back his ass to lumberage who's back through me this is
pressure at the wrong time he's there from Tex actually when the reclear was
coming through should have taken our fight but yeah and I mean the bait play
from Aspas did not work he just sold second for no value so now they're in
the 3v5 and it's gonna be tough from here. Anyone else? This is a bit of the
patience that fraud was talking about right? Don't accelerate once you've got a
little bit of space. I mean we're not even playing in D. These plays are getting shut down.
Again, this is gonna be placed on MIBR, you're right, losing grip, losing the heads a little bit.
30 seconds left. This is risky business. MIBR wants to force the step up for the place you can get.
It's a wonderful trades. We're just gaming. We're just gaming baby. Not another live. Oh, there is a life
It's not another 4v2
Nice step of paranoia
Anyone
And I'm not joking around when I call it statistically Verno has been a monster, but it's dampened by Superman
1v3 that looked possible for the guy again
EG with a nice protocol there of jumping into his face for the second of trade, but man they almost lined up on that
It could have been another scenario where Verno bales his team out of what was quite a bad round actually, but
I
Get punished for it. EG of this you tell bro. It's beautiful. It really is these teams throughout stage two
I don't feel like I put that button they were in control early on but that's how three and around the EG have picked up
Some of it's a great recovery. I'm telling you we're matching them mechanically like if not, we're better. We're better mechanically right now
They're rattled. It was exactly
It's a whole different thing to actually close again
And if timeout on the other side just to win one round
In case you don't know the coaches get to talk to the teams when the hard six five right now
And Berna one them a key round in this half even for team to be this close
This one is just a focus on making this a 6-6 half
Just admit we caught MIBR on a bad day, we're losing the next one, get rid of that guy for
10 minutes.
What an absolute fucking idiot this guy is.
If NIDR lose, it will mean absolute disaster for their entire year.
The last boss has been playing like he wants to get back in front of a Brazilian crowd in São Paulo.
But he's just been matched on the other side by Serona. Who's come out of...
I want to say almost out of nowhere. Obviously he's been great throughout the season, but he hasn't been like this.
The consistency is off this kid though this time added into the EG equation
This is it again. We'll be forced to respect this drone is good alongside that tag. This is a clean exact by them
very clean exit actually
It's fun through it's not a good plan spot. It's a very test already takes
I might be our
See if they can fight us forwards, but they don't expect this one. We're not
Oh
Oh my god
Super what a kill now getting it done the hard-working graph being put in
Still verno there with a shock dot now a power in that position
Called into action and deliver some that round. I was desperately needed that is it an
Incredible moment towards the end just absolute chaos for MIBR. They planted it on sale lucky
Honestly, I'm lucky this should be this should have been an eight four half at best
for
multiple to one
or should have been an A4 half for Eiji.
Not a bad defense half guys. Not a bad defense half at all.
Eiji has put themselves in an insane spot to close this game out.
now target mazino market split
We're having another insane map.
We needed a hero today.
We needed a hero besides DGZen and we found him, but we need him to close.
That's the thing.
It's a whole other thing to close the games.
Furia was up 9-3 and they lost the series.
They were four rounds away from winning the series and they ended up losing the whole
series.
I think honestly, it's just confidence in myself and also confidence in us as a team like we have a lot of momentum right now going into these playoffs
And I mean we're just looking forward. We're keeping our energy and we're keeping the space going
I feel like that's the biggest reason for my confidence boost right now and also my performance
We're gonna get even louder bow. Oh, yeah, of course
So good luck out there
You might go bald I'll happily go bald if these guys made they make this run this run is be so sick three complete rookies
first time on stage this year. That would be unreal.
You know that finesse didn't buy the second half underway make sure you lock
in with a number of express VPN. Notice scan that QR code on your screens now
but this is tension in the air and more for MIBR is the hopes and dreams of an
entire year. I'm staying on the second half of this map, but if you can continue, keep
that one going through this log.
Sniper log, thank you for the prong.
And, oh, this is a disappointment if they end up collapsing here now.
MRBR, when rumours of this squad, this roster emerged during the last off season.
Aspas playing with second? Surely this team is destined for success.
now they find themselves on the precipice of it all being for naught
not a single international appearance fuck this stack B and not even making
Sao Paulo here towards the end a chance of elimination and second falls early
would be tired and it would be dismo second falling early already spelling it
out there's blood on the wall we're just swinging what I don't understand we
don't we're waiting for like anything we're just in terms of the angle but the
No gem spot either, like we're just...
He's dead, I mean he's just dead. Oh my god.
Oh my god, not getting that kill was massive from you.
Paranoia now, now, now! Bang!
Good delay, good delay, good delay, good delay, good delay.
Pop that smoke, let's go.
Four pistols. Four of the sort pistols.
Holy shit.
shit. That kill from Bows saved the round. I just hope everyone here knows that.
Alright bruh. Alright bruh. Can't let you disrespect him like that though.
That is not a crumb by any by any sense of the imagination. That is not a crumb
Respect this one here
Environment I'm gonna mop up the stragglers there
You see all that shit happen, ASPAS has not moved from me, fuck the respect.
That's what I call holding your ground.
Wait, he has the gun.
The bandido.
Oh no, he has the bandido.
ago. He's one HP away from an ace. He's done a great job of cleaning up this eco round.
Tanks not content to give it to him. It is incredible that Dujizine has been a more impactful
player this year than Aspas. In this game, actually Aspas is stepping up to that massive
level that you need and expect from him and yet the pistol round, the follower, this, this,
this, the ace and it's the second of the map following up on Serona's beautiful this duo
has been extremely good today very difficult for him, he's beautifully worked by the boys
All the right wing cons here and there is plenty of danger going around your team for
EG.
What was the ace in a counter hitter?
They haven't been lacking out for the entirety of the series, but I've got some more weaponry
behind it here.
The bonus conversion would be brutal for MIBR.
They have to push it back here and now.
Okay, a little cypher pressure towards B, good camera as well.
They know that Zerona is going to be on his fall.
We should break their can.
It's a late round timings to go up past the cycle wall.
He doesn't normally choose the first cycle.
He's a second cycle.
Doesn't go for it either.
EG liked to call pretty slow approaches to sunset.
But it's uncomfortable when you're the defense.
So we break the camera B.
We smoke top mid.
They don't have a clue what we're doing right now.
Not a singular clue actually.
They couldn't buy a clue about what we're doing.
to take a time to pass out smells it's slow the pressure applied evenly with
the door breaking third cycle everybody of EG all grouped up second and Verna
we're doing it without the wall oh no they are shorter shoulder they're
waiting to bleed every single bit they can't out of it God paranoia right it
down now let's go right it down back off again to try and push them back and away
they're stuck they're stuck all that thing would have been legendary good
Stun!
Got two though, of course Renault's good for two always.
Push spawn if we can, yes.
Oh my god, Pankas, oh my god, this is risky from us, I'm not gonna lie.
Look at our setup.
side wait for a reaction from eG but eG are just holding no that's gonna give eG
possibilities and ways to get ones themselves kills the flood in their
name holy shit one bow what's up
forwards here if I take a note that is lovely work superman now in a 1v2 reload
has to be committed now is you're trying to fight and squat these signs of life it
is locked on to the angle that's by saving his team in the process from
disaster embarrassment the double push from us bus and text does end up working
really nicely there as you're saying why was this close to verno and second just
getting overwhelmed with no value the flash the second throws out while stunned
up he knows he's going down but he throws it as one last hail Mary that was a
good flash second kill somehow make it an even 3v3 there that that was a bonus
EG had a great chance of converting. These bonuses have not been working today for EG.
I think Smoke spawned. Flipping the script a little.
Yeah, maybe. Just play inside the smoke and then cross fire with their teammates' dice.
In a way that they've been...
I mean, it's difficult throughout the rest of the stage, but today they're bringing their A-game.
No better time to come alive.
Okay, I can see competition that is known as MIBR when the pressure is on them to perform.
Carefully beat pressure.
default from EG.
Just looking to break some of that stuff.
Wow, they rotated quickly.
Now the inflammation.
And then back to EG.
And we're going back to EG.
It's just Silva here.
If we kill Verna, we basically win the round.
There's nobody else on that team.
I don't know that.
Maybe Aspas.
Is that comes having a rough game?
Oh my god, why did I say that?
is he's been one of those players to stand strong for MBR even when the rest of it crumbles
need you waiting perhaps for the dark cooldown to come back online pancakes seconds away
fuel taking the time with it okay they cleared mid so that's good for them
can burn up it's a great time over the dark because he knows that he was looking for
Phoenix is here so is here that's hard we're looking to get involved here straight into the action
and the fight forwards again but it's you took it to be these guys made us go back call there's three
Here it's over
I am up so far, 3-11 but a chance to redeem myself here and now, so what's our first play
is Duzine.
Lo!
We're not lacking any semblance to confidence.
Holy fuck, that's a great round man, they're two alive last round.
It's great work from Bao here again.
He just picks his timings to come alive.
Look at this, the back stab here, takes down Mazzino who is guarding short.
Duzine of course with a really important kill on Bruno as well to be able to sweep things
out I am in just you just you just you I'm in here be control be control keep it up you guys
I'm just gonna take a tag time out here feels like he's gonna be back on the right track
they they need to take an eco into the next you hear this shit inspired digits in all like you need
a guy like DGZ in your corner with a huge amounts of pressure it goes about same doesn't it time out
It will be easy most likely because the way we're expecting up to 10
I think there's a world where they can scrap for this round up it because they're one away from having ass passes
The unaltered line. Yeah, so if they dominate a main early get that altar and then they can maybe look second thinking about that
I that that sent those contract that's sitting in his Gmail right now crazy hasn't opened it yet
But it's better the offer I mean
for EG, but they're the ones in the driver's seat, they're the ones in control there.
It's a blank check. He gets to write whatever he wants.
Four out of four pistols, sure.
He gets to write whatever number he wants.
Can't argue with the way in which they've been able to scrap
and put pressure on a team that is feeling it today.
It's gonna be hard to feel so close to crumbling ahead, so just give it a try.
It is disaster waiting to strike this entire year, this roster put together,
all of reaching the international stage, the greatest height of BTT. Denied up until now,
this is meant to be their path and road to redemption. Serona and DGZ are now a chance
beyond. Right now, EG. And with that gusto, the art will have to find answers, a thrifty
around might just put them straight back into things.
Again, bling b?
Again, bling b.
Just jiggling the Nivea side.
Nivea side wants to make a mistake.
Any semblance of a misstep?
Go wrong.
We know the way that EG likes to play it is going to be slow,
putting a squeeze on MMR.
It's all about finding out where EG are looking to finish.
Because Aspas wants to pop this ultimate as late as possible
to get the most value out of it.
So he's just gonna be playing rotate and spawn follow the noise we're going every I can't even tell and paint eggs job
Is to make it difficult? We're going to be so late. We're going to be 40 seconds into four players
The execs good. It doesn't matter if the execs good. It doesn't matter, but they do us the vault
They didn't do a good job. Neon also fuck me. We lost raise an attitude. Mazzino matter just pushed EG straight into the info stack
Exactly what they needed. We were walking in though, which is D's taking this one slowly
Okay, I think we're okay and he has or Molly
I think we're okay, I still think we're okay
We're not a pain
Exactly as they drew it up as well. I mean that is picture-perfect way the way that MIBR would have wanted that round to go
EG not looking to take too many risks staying very grouped up not creating lurk pressure
Not even pushing Rosino off his aggressive a-line
That's around where EG don't take the risks required to make it difficult for MIBR
No, the strat was fine. The strat was really fine. It's just really good by MIBR
Now, get the one to make the only single one, let's go to the GZ.
You're not wrong, the GZ and he can be po-
You're like, we panic because of the time.
Right, the momentum of the map.
Turn on its head, there should have been a prime opportunity for EG to be up to 10.
The money is flipped.
This smog's really annoying to get against the attackers.
I'm gonna find the Tom maybe.
I'm staying on the one side of things.
slow themselves down in the process here second a sharp shooting
nice man nice to go you got your worst you got your worst
and that's that's dead second death
Zorn hasn't been spotted
I was gonna go so where?
he's highlighting with these players up and still it is the rifles that win out the day
kills going their way on either side of the map
Necessary ones at that here, it's Pancakes.
And they're closing.
There's no exit strategy, he's got to try and fight his way past them forwards.
But that double up position discipline,
raiding supreme and around like this, 9-9,
and RBR showcasing that they are not done just yet.
Drawing the game level, giving themselves opportunities.
God, there was threat here.
Zeke and the NASPAS both take some really bold fights.
But they come out to the good. Zeke and still with an ult to be able to play around with too.
That's one that, in theory, could help them flood back into a site.
Are they going walk in here?
Yeah, it feels like it. Walk down me.
Dartmouth.
Magro play. You're trying to sidestep with the guy at my piece.
Nice.
by four takes
under control now pass us onto the
we really just fall apart guys
slap down, and he approached my EG
slowly bit by bit round by round
i might be out of the pcing this together
now i'm pancakes
lost the expectations to try and win this one out but still pancakes
if this is a two three i think we win it
no joke
ah nevermind if it xbox two
or use it
the clan spot is bad as well
pretty important round of one, he uses it
deliver him to potentially to a round to win if it's not dealt with still onto the corner reveals his position
It needs to be unbelievable
Mistakes have to be made here at least with the spacing
Get scrappy into the final moments, but the details are put together nevertheless
This is around where EG were not allowed to play their game from the very beginning
It might be our forced them into an uncomfortable spot by doing this walk down mid
Serona feels like he has to make a play and take some very ball swing through that
Just expecting techs to be playing a more passive position.
Okay, okay, guys, even when we get advantage, let's not give out the space.
Okay, there's an adaptation for them. They want to take the fight to EG.
Even when they go up numbers, keep the pressure on.
Stop EG from just taking this space like Zerona does over to what they main.
It's a bold idea. You've got to play to win in some of these spots.
But especially saying that right before an anti-eco, you know, that style can definitely go wrong if you overstep yourself.
It could be inviting risk at least into the round itself, but as fast as got that veteran presence experience built up over many years, he knows what it takes to win.
It's a little bit of play to win.
He's a player that knows what it takes.
So not just take teams to champions, but take teams deep in jabs.
If they lose this map, it would be the first time in his pro career that he would have
missed out on that tournament.
The end of an era.
Almost poetic as well as reaching the end of the partnership system.
But you're shame to see Aspaster playing like, there's not one left to be the case.
the players though waiting forwards and low as anything here still
Mazzina is willing to help out from the side rifle intact it's getting messy
a little bit here in terms of the rifle and super was able to take that head
clean off as fast as to respect some level of this from the bono that's fast
they got it covered towards the bitter end leading by two rounds here might be
I feel like they've got that semblance of control once more
Asperge wants to win this game you can feel it in the way that he's playing the
way these making calls I'm gonna start getting really starting faster G from
the very beginning all the way through Lotus I think we're gonna start using the
personal investment here remaining not about to let this one slip away easily
potter's turn now Jess thank you to one 17 months thank you try to write this
this ship. Think back to that thrifty round, the MIBR 1 off the back of Aspas's and Verno's
ultimates. It changed the entire course of this map. Stringer rounds that have been put
together to Dizine, gloriously tied it away. I don't know what to say about it. But also
allowing presumably Potter to speak. The MIBR loses the round, yeah. Yes they are. EG,
good with these timeouts. Ideas contributed, corrections to be made, usually results in
a string around.
Joel, thank you in front.
No better time for it than now when they are, now my two rounds. Then I'll be out of
this next one. We have a tipping point to take this map away from them and send it to
Haven.
Zelo, thank you in front.
Aspas has pulled out the operator.
Alright, we gotta make Max in on the use of these ults.
to get up into EG's face and put pressure on him, but there's going to be so much
intruity pressure as soon as EG realizes what they're going to get to.
I really do fuck with this B-call, it's going to end up in every take.
It's going to force you to reach more utility, hide behind more smokes, to be cautious around every angle.
And Tex is completely aware of this, that this is probably going to happen.
EGio, defaulting at least over towards B early.
Outside, it's main control, it's the name of the game, both for EG and I by R.
walking through into me
you're double-erk here
this would be putting Zeno
Tex into a very uncomfortable situation they're gonna send us now under Fury
flying forwards to TP to navigate this spot
and the Scots just going wide barely there 80 damage
so we're gonna get done Tex still was back against the boys Krista can turning in
the superman capitalizing chest for that right moment nice
only worry about flank guys market and flank that's it
forward but it does give the nbr avenues forwards
plan for backside over and pancakes is nice keeps everything aligned the same way
fighting for market and boba
i fall back into the hands of aspas still apply it down though he's looking at
for these fights open mb r they reclear acting to main
take this one slowly that's a stun into the back there's no connection there
as long as the rona doesn't die
bringing out as fast
kill forward still snappy locked in now i see what i'm done
And this is what a pressure
Nice, pink cakes. What a kill.
Oh my god, actually saved the round.
How does that affect against two with 30 health?
One with 30 health.
That was an insane call too. W Potter actually.
Everyone is coming through B main, suddenly you're getting stabbed in the back from market up to Boba.
Really well crafted round.
Throws MBR off.
Also means now that they're not going for the up again, even though they could have afforded it.
Fast.
GG.
Trying to throw all the way into the A site, here's the TP, along with the deep tower to push out.
ASPAS!
Unaccounted for!
With a timing like that.
immediately stops and stunts any attempt at a push, the fast play dissipates.
Sort of seemed to do the same thing when the halves were flipped.
And now Aspas takes his opportunity, time it through the smoke.
Since EG reeling again.
Superman honestly, I think still needs this gun when you look at the credits that he and Bau have.
I don't think we have 1v5, the players are walking into it.
Surely he's not going to be able to pull out a round like that.
way fifty five seconds it's got time to play with hoping that the next few fights will come his way
oh mick fks thing of the prime three players were stacked up but now they've lost a bit of that
information about where superman is surely superman peeks into this he's gonna be taken out there might
be hard if you do not lose grip and sight of the round up to 12 now for them one more round we are
going the distance to haven
Wow, wow, wow, wow the tracking wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to bring the game to EG
And there's a fight as well the second takes looking to go up into it
Take the engagements throw EG off disrupt what they're getting me to live the broken ship that spot
I mean Superman probably would have looked I'll be better off
I should say looking to save that gun to any point
Series
I'll be our maintained that composure
We're back a lot of pressure cats are hungry. I gotta feed them up to this by EG and to do man
EG went double pistol on this map after scrapped out an OT on Lotus
They had a chance here to be able to do something incredible
I'm trying to find that low timing forwards, Verna.
Very unorthodox.
That was a risky angle from Verna, man.
That was the goal, drone.
Potentially timing's caught though in the final moments,
there's Serona again.
It's a cat and mouse game.
He was aware of that missed opportunity.
Are they refighting it to be?
Or contacting it?
There might be one.
The jazine's holding for it, trying to fight for it.
The jazine, the jazine, the jazine!
Oh, no way.
It's patience played with his aim, but a little bit too much.
One might say.
And that all ruins everything.
the 10 HP he's got the old as well to play into this one if the retake comes
online verno go over to the corner back of chinny paranoia flushes him
potentially out of play but there it is a time when I decide bow is revealed
like these players up now and it's just a simple game of taking your timings in
your pick of the fight
MIR 13 to 10 knocked down an alpha to count not finished just yet they won this run to continue
They got players who absolutely must win this game. Let's go down to one of them now with
Rift.
Here we go, I'm going to appeal to Katz.
Amazing stuff coming in from MIBR, Aces being flung everywhere at you guys.
One of the most crazy series we've seen, how do you win, how do you secure this game with
all that in your face?
You just got to take it one round at a time, we know that they're going to have rounds
and we're going to have rounds, so we just got to stay focused and yeah, take it one
round at a time.
Alright man, go be with the team, best of luck, good luck in the third map.
We got another one coming.
Going up to Haven this chess match is going the distance here for our second elimination match of the day
Don't go anywhere, more VCT Americas after this
I
Oh
Wow those sniper in a tower he could get the ace who's gonna take this one from him
And now it's not gonna happen this time bow locks down the ace
Shaving, Shaving.
being shaved right now.
Holy Hot Hands coming from Sokto.
Forces 2 out there.
This place is crazy.
But they're not expecting that angle!
In Text!
Welcome back folks to what has become a battle of endurance.
A battle of refusal to lose.
MIPR.
It looks like he's about to come to an end, but a 50 round here on this second map of
Sun said kind of changed everything from the back of that that don't some momentum
That's what was needed because you're looking at this matchup between the EG where yes
It was still going back and forth against similar looks to Lotus
But then you had like the Zerona ace going into their attack side and if things got a little bit rocky there
And sometimes it comes down to those games where you need somebody to pop off in the moments and in the thrifty as a team
Now could now group up together to come in for the fight and to close up that map
Which is good because usually then when we're looking at these games
especially for a team like EG or MIBR, you lose it in overtime and it just
collapsed going into the second map. I thought it was over. Yeah, once it's
overtime you don't know what is going to happen recovering from that mentally.
It's so tough to do, especially when you know you had the lead with for MIBR.
They were able to do it pretty comfortably. It feels like they were relying
more than anything on that game plan that they had on Sunset, which is
something that the coaches were talking about. The conference and for these two
and also understanding the way that they had to shot down EG on the second half.
EG adds some things going on the first half once we went into the second one those plays that
we're working on with the Viper with the a splits where we're not being as successful anymore
there's nothing special about this MIBR team
I mean our attacks
wasn't horrible like horrible the way we were playing
the execs could have been better though
I feel like we should have used B more. We honestly should have used B way more.
Yo pay me brother. For what? Pay for what?
He already was playing some insane numbers in the map 1 and going to his map 2.
He just continued to do the exact same thing.
This is the kind of performance that we expect to see from Aspas.
Have you seen the body cam game?
No.
And he's delivering so well.
Aspas definitely made me eat my words from his performances.
Mom, Aspas, I was just talking about it mechanically.
Why ZXC?
Thank you for that.
Versus us boss. I'm giving it to Dijazine every single time
But the mechanics that he has is all in the aims here for us
But in the space that he creates the fight that he takes and how crispy it's moving Jersey will win
No, no, no, I can't get it. It can't be really done for a no way. It's me
And when I heard the clutch that he was in it was it like a 1vx scenario we listen into the MIBR comes to that round
Nobody was like a reverent silence even though it wasn't successful in that clutch. Honestly. It was quite striking
What do we think as a matchup for Sunset 334 ACS over 200 damage. What do we think of?
We need to do this and I think to take us home here
He's got a diff as fast in this next map. I think that is the ultimate win con like obviously everyone's gotta play well, but
Dg's in versus as fast as just gotta be we gotta deliver here on the entries
And obviously we need to win some pistols again. Just keep winning the pistols. Ideally.
Nice Porsche. Thank you man. Thank you. Thank you. Won't be here for six months, but thank you.
And now having to deliver and continue that, which is hard to do for a long series like this one.
Yeah, someone who was a world champion in 2022 and has had to find over the last four years just a way
reinvent themselves in a new era of the game and around numerous different new
rosters. Let's set our sights on our next map.
As fast as plus 10 against EG's in right now. Okay, let's see what happens this much.
It's okay, there's still one more map to go.
This is where men are made, right here. Map 3. When your back is literally against the wall,
it's potentially, it is the last game that one of these teams is going to play.
not that that's mad as far as the series is going but it's probably worth mentioning
it feels like if eg is going to win this is the final test when they played against each other
that was the massive lead that eg had against my br and my br started coming back started
buying the odin verna started clutching everything go around and then they couldn't close it out this
is the high pressure situation where they found themselves in before when you tell your girl
picked out the car they haven't been able to go back for a mutual decision but i am not an suv
person. I mainly got the SMU because of her. Because she's gonna be driving it a lot.
I personally would have chosen Mr. Dan.
He fast fast and Bruno removed everyone else including the coaches. That's right.
And he's also kind of so nice to say that it's a second map.
And the only like the only
preferences I had is how it looks, like the looks of the car.
I was like, I needed to look this way or I refuse.
If you're able to topple down, so there were a bunch of things like the
interior exterior, everything in terms of the need last time.
Then that's going to hold well for them.
If you could surpass that and fight loud after it would be a historic result.
Maybe the most are you going to Shanghai and now roster has ever achieved now. I was down
on but now I get thrown around a lot all the time. I know, but this time I'm serious. I mean it
the loser of this match I already saw the conflict from contention for Sao Paulo and also denied
the opportunity to potentially represent there. I wanted the only the only thing I'm sad about is
I wanted the kindness with the V8 engine. So just the gas. Um, but the V sick and the hybrid is
always just v6 so for the cayenne that had no choice exactly but it sounds
beautiful though guys it sounds fucking nice the car still sounds really nice
for eg and for mib we're gonna find out right after this why hybrid because we
live where it's like very it's very cold where we live most months so the like the
The situation of not having to get gas or only having to get gas once a month seems practical.
Don't batteries die in the winter?
Kind of depends on the tires you have and how your mileage is.
If your tires are dog shit, then yeah, they sometimes do die faster.
That's what they said.
That's what they told me.
I don't know anything about batteries, of course.
I've never had an EV car in my whole life.
contender really considering where they began at the beginning of this year, but one that is mirroring that 2023 Cinderella run
That reason 100% die since you don't go out Selena goes out though. Like she will be driving around everywhere and she fucking loves driving so
She will better she better use the fucking car. It's not just gonna sit in the garage. I promise you that
That Titan Brazilian organization that aspas used to represent
for a chance to get to Sao Paulo and that's if they escape this game which has been a battle of
endurance a marathon a test of who wants it more and both of these guys at the tip of that fighting
on the front lines of this engagement very different career it's fine though either way it's a hybrid
So it doesn't matter if you use gas or not, it auto switches to gas, it's not a big deal.
Did you watch YouTube movies? A lot of them, bro. A lot of them.
It's got a boat well here for MIBR, now you'll be feeling it.
EG were gifted potentially a golden opportunity to close this one out 2-0.
They couldn't quite get it done on such a high level, but it's a good thing.
They've got 4 out of 4 pistols so far, evil geniuses.
They've got up to great opportunities to be up with those things.
They'll be gutted they can't get rid of anything, especially on such a high level, they're getting
sure winning.
But this map went.
But now we head to HEI 5.
Desmentioned it, last time these two teams faced it was a criminally close affair, so
Buckle in, this one could go to OT as well, but a lot of the work was done on the attack
side.
It felt like a better option.
Also, I like the look of the Cayenne a lot more than the B&W, and when it comes to SUVs.
start off on that front foot, who would look to open on the attack, and look to go straight
over towards an A site only defended by pancakes.
If you look at the cut him off from escaping, there really are, there's an immediate response
here, but they are so rapid, and that's already attaching straight in, gliding to the side,
pancakes which stands the pressure, cause for the reinforcements, they've arrived, it's
great.
Coming up to see if they can...
How is he alive?
Oh my god!
Him staying alive for as long as he did is what caused that...
What helps the flood...
The path thing is really nice to try to
What is gonna be jiggle peaking long for info sorry I'm looking to back up my phone hit the keyboard
If eG can't win today after winning every single pistol
Sorry, they they have created the opportunities for themselves to be able to deliver with the way that they're opening these halves
Come on, baby. Let's take this shit home
and I'll be out feeling it sounding for the back foot here in map three of Haven
at least go into the details of it if they were able to get a pistol round
against EG could be a hell of a blow to land against this squad that have been
empowered by them this entire series but it's the same story again yeah it is
we stand they're giving up a lot of space though EG they're conceding all of
garage, from section C, going to move into this, start overhead here, glide to the side,
there it is, the trip's going to be tangling up, I suppose, but could get weird, this
round could get weird, just thinking about it, heard the guns, second's got a full util
belt here, if he gets in the smoke with text they could push but they've missed the timing,
it's fading away, it's going to be fading away on top of an out of shock dance, it's
going to be ringing out forwards, the Molly is good, it is a fight taken towards the back
of sight, blood spilling out now and it's okay, we're just gonna be stealing away that gun,
straight from underneath them, EGD might be getting put into a blaster!
MMR, we're more than ready to contest and tangle!
Well there's a response, there's a twist in the tail.
EG not able to capitalize on the follow-up from the pistol.
That's the second at Aspas really. And second through that hot hands at the absolute perfect
Yeah, Zekin's Molly was incredible, the timing of it.
And hasn't Aspas been incredible with the bandit in his outfit today?
Someway, someway, someway, someway, somehow, doesn't matter how you did it, it's that you did it.
He cheat, not without their eco ideas.
The Halo setup.
Oh, this one, no space.
Yeah, just to try to catch the contact, Aspas!
We've been down multiple players now, a multitude of them falling.
Right towards it, but I was just trying to swing and take that timing as the drone is sent out, but might be our
weather to storm
more like a speed bump in their path really, but
Get past it the jazine. Oh, it was going for the jump. Yeah
Try to get faster at a moment. Let's get past it. Nice. Don't make too much of a difference
It's got a little bit more to get past unfortunately
There might be our with them losing the pistol winning the follow-up and now this round here second
I can have a run it back, earned it up for the next round too.
Everything going the right way for MIBR, they've immediately taken a lot of venom out.
Not the end of the world at all.
This is the opening section of Haven.
Absolutely. This has flipped the momentum of this map instantly.
We thought it was going to be the same story, EG wins the pistol.
Maybe it doesn't convert the bonus, that's been the story today, but, you know, it starts off on the right foot.
And instead, MIBR with Gollum on their team, I guess.
Oh, sorry.
I've really flipped the script.
Seconds ultimate is gonna be the thing to watch.
Big round to win here.
Big fucking round.
He's looking to get an early pick on Texor.
Looks like Heavy towards C.
Like, Dairy Heavy towards C.
Dark Flasher overhead.
I can feel like they are taking out A control.
I love how much we trust our retakes to this extent.
Thanks all the way up here.
Mr. VG have not been budged here.
Rotation's not forced.
Run it back now, forward.
T2 to B site.
This could be everything.
trying to get value out of seconds old but again it's easy just playing to
absorb most of this aggression not willing to contest not willing to fight
it let's give it a little bit of access to the plant
going down as he gets into control of it here it's over extension potentially
from a couple of these players Molly's at your feet that's why I'm trying to make it
awkward but still he's gonna be lit up. Everyone chill out, everyone calm us.
really pushed back from this one blaze wall up he's almost got a pocket to play in
there's a tap forcing the reaction out I don't know he's playing from very long
range long distance potentially with some of that utile but um is this one of all
no half urns it's still eg hunting scoping things out this time not fully
committing but this time we've got one more in their face okay he's going to
stop half pressing forwards now this is burdo it's good the odys palm committing
to the reload it's already half urns up this is go wrong at a bit of a moment now
it's an odyssey game this game is terrible down this game is literally
terrible. And it's not even fair is it playing against that one, Verno. It's the number one
added up to his clutch totals. If you thought Brock was cringe. God of this guy. The Red
Bull clutch, by just sitting back here and spamming on a line up, his crosshair just
drifts over so the rail of bullets catches onto Zerona and then superman. This game's
really good!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
At least it's self-aware!
Horrendous!
It's going to take every single trick in their disposal!
Actually so bad!
...MIVR care about asbestos on a bit of an island here, pushed back and away, but it's forced the reaction out of EG.
They're trying to fight this one, pressure into Maon again, the Odin spam, supplementary, couple of shots on the sheriff's,
you can't contain that!
He is again the duelist!
Lighting him up on the other side of things!
There's quite a lot of damage done there, Aspa and Verna are both in danger.
And yet, MBR are handling the anti-ecos really well.
Grouping up, getting multi-kills, Picks on an angle dealt with again.
The threats exist for EG.
But MBR are handling them, and second, just choose these kills up towards another alt.
And they're going to be giving them the plan, I would assume, maybe even another orb if
it's available over the wall to see.
Have EG missed their opportunity to close this game out.
No, this is gonna be filthy.
Yep, nevermind. Leave that one to Zekken.
Don't think you're fine for saying stuff like that on stage.
The game is fucking horrible. I've said it like a billion times on stage.
Can't do shit.
What are they gonna do? They know it's bad.
He just got it.
He just got it.
Yeah, he just saw that.
So he's got his ult on line.
Aye, that's despicable.
Uh, Clemence here, don't think he's in the front.
You exactly right, EG.
But we're all fucking addicted to it, so what can we do?
And being that snowball team using the advantages the early wins in the pistol
But this is the wind taken out of their sails. They are lost at sea
Gonna find a way past it. It's just gonna be so difficult. I had some of patients there
All right, next thing is up. Okay, we started in
Shit what is going on anything it's a fight towards seeing that's gonna put the punish on
them that's a little bit about I mean good read I guess I was like and if he's
walking in like that the reason he jumps is to try to play his teammates into
trade I can't quite find it I also think it's crazy the second someone
leading there when he's the person with the alt that can win the round and keep
the snowball going that is what they did on their be hit really Superman did he
miss another teleport I think he just got caught in mid TP looking for info
Actually, that's probably a cracking shot if we look at it in the replay
Let's pass put the punish on here evening things out for the form
Well now she's weird I give a bit of peace of mind to bow who can lean more heavily over towards being garage
But it might be up and heroes
Yeah, guys. Yeah, again
Gets rid of that and you know what's coming set it up for it again
But this time eG might be one step ahead the TARDIS laid down mate
That's a fight fire with fire noted in the hands of pain cakes
Hitting or the canceling I don't know what's going on down and that's gonna be difficult for them flash forwards running back now
I'll put up it's easy trying to put emphasis on to this round take matters there into their own hands
Preemptive with it overdrive now unleashed ass passes forwards trying to create that space and timing the blaze wall
I'll push back. It's not deep enough, but still and maybe I'm running away across the round
Same situation answering back to be too, but how'd you deal with her now?
No, no, groans from the crowd, a years from them, this is no pantomime, this is the real
deal, this is your entire year on the line, and Vernon is not afraid to be the villain.
Walking his way up, Vernon.
Anticipating that there's going to be that walk up and again, it's not going to have
the time to work with him, even if he found that kill.
What an unethical roster this is.
It's incredible.
I mean, this is so tough for EG to deal with on the fly when they haven't he actually might single-handedly make this gun
There's now he was looking for that how hard this is getting abused
And ask us with the punish
It is the ultimate win con of the round
So one of this time did use his Phoenix util to try to deny the plan
Actual Exodia
The key win condition for EG
You've actually got to use the Phoenix Molly and the Phoenix wall to stop the Xeno ever getting the plan down
Wall was off by millimeters
Second with a very similar celebration there
just to think about verno though one of the things I respect so much about
verno is that he adds every little tip and trick into his own game when the
flex peak stuff was discovered verno's doing it immediately in the next game
there's this tiny little weird pixel angle on a long he's doing it immediately
as soon as it gets talked about he picks up these different pieces from around
the scene and adds them to his game when broke dominates with the Odin oh I'll
I'll take that. Thank you. And now he's doing it in his games.
I mean, it's part of the game.
This is what you're not doing anything wrong.
It's just it's just crazy that it's part of the game still growing, still learning, still in.
But what's what even what's even crazier is it's winning them the round.
It's not like an unimpactful thing that's happening.
It is literally the wincon of the round.
Absolutely. Already a top player.
But when you add the little pieces, the details to your playbook,
You're a quiet one, Broc was doing it.
Too easy, the bait's not good enough.
The bait is not good enough, gotta be better than that.
When you play on EG with one, we could buy four of them as a result, but Zerona might be the key to make things doable, make things possible, to reveal that instantaneous trade.
Barters trying to apply and play off that pressure. Once again, this time right back there, no backside control taken up by MIBR.
tap forcing the issue out of them but again the spam goes a long way about it
overhead now with Amali and that is perfect right on cue. They got it, they got it, it's fine, take it.
It's just impossible for EG to do anything in these retakes. They can't get past the waves of defensive utility and spam lineups and all sorts that MRBR have got prepped.
The fact that you're owed in spam in the previous rounds gives you the
honest fury to now bail yourself out of this. Are the rounds clean from MBR?
No, really they are requiring these situations to be saved by people like
Vernau, but he's good for it. And second there with the hot hands, good for it.
I'm doing anything.
I'm on the too low for them here, this is an MIBR team that are playing to see-
They really can't let them play it, yeah, but-
I'm worried about this, it feels like only Texas here-
I mean, that was mainly because of the Alts, nothing else, and the Molly, obviously, but-
You're looking to push out based on, did you see him holding the angle?
At some point, they might just wander-
The B-shirt is crazy.
...MIBR's IGL.
L
As you said making it feel like it's taxing there's the P. Thank you, Mazzini. Yeah, finally helping us out my Superman stoppy
And puts down Mazzini now
Almost folks to work with you if I might be our again. They are being hard-pressed derpy. Thank you for the primal
I'll be our again the team that has to take risks here
No one over people this morning operator, but he does in that timing
Zin probably didn't need much to make that a reality.
Flash scores in a repeat, get timings on top of it.
ZGD are playing not scared, not willing to lose the advantage.
What a flash!
Make sure to clear up the unknown, quick-match across the map, double-face as one, ensuring that this round is clean.
That's a good round from EG.
There's Zin with his favourite weapon.
We've seen him so many times be able to dominate a game by playing the defence side with the AWP.
side with the op but it's late to get it into his hands. They've just not had
anything to work with up until right now where they get the op and the odin
but the control over towards a long the snap to be able to deal with Mazzino
who was a part in a big part of that threat and then a refight into garage
very clean from EG. They're gonna have to dig their way back into this half.
still recoverable I mean at least a four rounds and then yet another pistol
needed
gee it's a blip on the radar so far for this timeline but potentially some of you
can keep going six six would be crazy here I agree that should would be
legendary they could be making the six six just gotta hope that they've learned
their lesson heavy a fight later where line okay to get out to play his wall to
come across here my god it's a trap position I suppose look at us even
debate the play forwards stand forward still the place away out into the open
a star reveals his big trade actually pressed up forwards bow just got the one
there's a punishment of a Zina with a deep hole yeah Mazzino hard altered off the
back of that because he realized that EG were playing a stack over on a
thing that I would be in a position to punish him though
seconds one away from getting thoughts online
oh bro thank you for the crime for operating in the crime
this is critical here by superman
pressure on to the flying to ensure that they can't just play these post plants but
trying to get attention here for mibar they know that the smokes are still alive they
have to play this one pressed up onto the site
ready to TP across the other one
immediately dealt with here mibar
keep the play code and if they shoot this kill
potentially they can weather the storm
and now it's overwhelming each trying to send this one
Lying forwards!
Brake control is there! Overdrive intact!
And the Dazzini still running a mockery!
Thank God, thank God, thank God, what a round.
What a retake.
Spotted out here by Superman. The circle shrinks, but that is a diffuse online EG.
Great utility.
The string arounds going for now.
Another good round from EG.
This A pressure.
It looked a bit wonky for a moment, because Aspas is actually doing a great job of
triggering these traps without getting caught by them.
But the recon that he walked into
The commitment on that a lobby crunch and also crucially bow being able to pick up as I just
Gives them that advantage. Yeah, one more could really good guy two guys one by one save one
They're bringing out here on Haven today. I'll say they just buy the whole house. They're still three rounds down
MIBR with those post plant setups have given themselves
on hell of a good lead
This one is that dark this one's playing site
That's gonna be rebounding all the way to the back of a they actually contact up a little bit
Maybe just giving a bit of respect to the zine and where he could be. I thought they were gonna follow that recon in
About playing it onto it. They're breaking trips
Potentially apply, but a shock will reveal it
Take it out. I know it's a retake. They know sufferers here. Oh, shit
We go both ways and they have Phoenix ult for delay so we can't even retake instantly
We're waiting for it
I mean saving the Phoenix ultimate to be able to stop the retake is huge for Maria. Yeah, I guess correct
They got it one pool used each you've got to try and bleed this one out
But again second with the all popped off
Each year to try and wait this one out, but I gotta go for it
Now where the fact at all second is running all the way up to it call to the corner pancakes Odin's bomb
And even to save the day. I don't know how we almost won that I guess we didn't almost win it
that's crazy that three people died so...
save all of that utility and contact fully up into A, what a read!
Tryna run it again this time, again, EG players, willing to try and push this one back now with a bit of firepower
and through short...
We have four people here.
Immediately rattled back and forth here, this is EG not gonna give them an inch.
What a nice line, the Phoenix is gonna be trading there.
They re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
They don't.
Do they re-hit?
They don't.
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
Do they re-hit?
MRBR have pushed the line of scrimmage forwards.
EG don't know if it was a player left and short or long.
This could be an A-rehit right now
and EG have got to respect that.
But we can see that Mazzino is leading the troops
over towards the weaker side of the map.
That's full retake.
Hopefully Val can get a kill off this trip for that site.
He'd love for somebody to wander into that.
EG still have a stack of players over all Zayn.
They're not gonna be ready.
Serenity's gonna help him out.
He's still got his eye onto the front section of B.
down his fellow countrymen, but is Aspas the final boss he got to contend with?
Superman onto the defuse stick.
Yes!
Oh!
Quistin turns and narrowly avoiding, evading the bullets, flying towards him.
My short, King.
Just dips right underneath all of those bullets.
I think that's a bit of a read as well, the way that Aspas plays those situations
does tend to be a little more tentative.
And EG just gets straight on it
We need this fifth round we get this fifth round
I mean four is decent about five would just be fucking
I think his mission critical of EG want a chance to being able to upset this
And we are waiting again
respond
All this aggression there in it's a proactive play pushing deep in with the hunter's fury, but again
It's how I'm either we're just waiting
Yeah, they're a good reader the fight come to them and immediately is that
It's a rona take it out of nor effect offered up player positions pointed out
What that should have rotate now over the wall to see this is my god. We're here. We're here though
Cage is gonna be spilling up most of the side. It's allowed the foot defend all the way in e.g.
I'm doing everything in the wall anything to see if they can win these fights out
Oh my god
This one
Just flash this fucking ruin dust Superman smokes dissipating spam lay it down the wall
I try to manage it spray control not there in time pain kicks now in that one be to
Was the new doing down the line?
Yeah, they're running away. I was gonna say what the fuck is Mazzini?
I'm thinking that situation photo finds himself in another one of these situations friend though, but he's got a drone
He's got a shock die. He's got the Odin
He just loves being in these post plans all the tools that is disposal
That's true. It's impossible. This one's impossible.
Not terrible. It could be way worse, honestly. This could have been way worse.
They dominated the first half of Lotus, they looked clean like this, they struggled to close.
Last time these two teams faced, the majority of the work was done on the attack sides,
now it's EG's turn.
Now I need Nazinha to do the ultimate terrible calling into an MIBR loss.
How?
Energy is crazy!
EG taking round after round here.
And then we are doing with a Kendrick's Law back what a series so far.
so far we've got our OT it's an elimination match.
I gotta let him out?
I didn't think it would happen.
of the
eight to four here might be our our leading they put on a stellar showcase of the
best of us we actually need to do that it's getting into the job but done
eight to four elimination game
to stop the fall of asking how they want the bonus to be the best of
drifting away give me the pistol so we have some hope and then whatever happens
happens the pressure very firmly in the court of MIBR with the name value on
their team with what they're expected to accomplish who want the players to have
accomplished in the past but they've somehow made their way through please
please DJ's in bearably tense maps in Lotus and some please DJ's in themselves
and advantage here not back into EG's core shit on him
EG have been perfect on these pistols.
Aspas, pushed up.
Backs forwards.
This is ridiculous, it's U2HOWTOP, the guy did the scene!
Offsets it.
Way too tricky of a target to take down and contain for Aspas himself.
Could have been everything there.
EG pumped the brakes.
They don't accelerate.
They don't get caught on C.
And you can see second and as you know
Wondering where to position themselves between
These areas Verna just going for the jiggle peak
Soon as he spots this contact. There's gonna be quality for reinforcements over does he call them all back?
Do they think we're gonna like go back to see now
Wow, they all rotate it might be our way does they all fucking rotate it. That's why he darted early
in the window ready to respond to this one here
start darting to the back reveal most of this one here
do we have an Odin anywhere any Odins
he's going to be missing about one so Superman gets his team into the post
plant
going into the back though it might be out here i'm not messing around i'm wasted
immediately clearing up
these turn to see if they can get it done until this beat post
i'm peeking forward slash forwards
Alright, I'm getting a call.
Alright!
Alright!
Don't we go!
Ideally clean round.
And then an A rush to really just stuff him.
This has a chance at the beginning but once he gets cleaned up, EG play it perfectly.
I thought there was maybe a moment there where they fake A again and go back into B but they
might have overcooked it but actually they just open up a spot for themselves to play
a post plant.
If pancakes could go with the right amount.
Yo, genuine guy, thank you for the 10 gifted.
What the fuck?
So sorry.
I didn't miss 10 gifted.
Thank you man.
And then EG have got a great avenue back into this game.
Sucks.
I will take that, I will take all of those orbs, thank you very much.
We just wait, stop them and do, just slowly keep defaulting, nothing crazy.
We've already defaulted, honestly, just keep the space.
when they get themselves into big advantages they never rush things six out of six we're
still losing well we didn't get eco'd this game we did get eco'd and we're playing the
super team guys like what are we talking about right now this is a super team they don't need
pistols I think each year actually one of those teams that don't tend to struggle with the
timer too much they don't yeah and this is why the last time these two teams faced on haven
It went to OT, and both of their attack sides were really strong.
You've already seen it from M.I.B.R.
So how clinical they were in post-plant situations.
And now, Ichi get to show you their...
Would you rather a team win six out of six pistols,
or win every post-clench spamming an odor in the wall?
Halfway through the season, to rejuvenate them.
Delivering now with everything on the line.
And this, this bonus round is gonna have some real stink.
Especially when you're on the attack side and you can decide the tempo.
Unless Aspas can deny, if they're gonna say, yeah, yeah, yeah, trying to take the guns
away, he's the one who's gonna be slapped back down again, EG, two round difference.
A rush, A rush, I am begging you.
I am begging you to A rush here.
something together if all is crafted some brilliant strategy that they can
tell me they're fighting for it tell me I have a decent read here to be able to
get them around on the board here you're gonna put okay keep it up like that we
gonna I swear I got guys swear to god this is in there talking about the
communication in his previous matches trying to bring to mind moments where
you gee of wash at the level he expects them to both doing this starting a with
the modem. Disgustingly washed. I'm not gonna get excited. I'm not gonna get excited.
Do we expect double sewer though?
Paranoia sweeping there it is. It's dealt with superman can't die straight down again here
But still these four players are getting squeezed bird. Oh, how's he finding that one?
Prest it is such a difficult spot. You're still coming up with the goods Ejito now. He's long just yeah, just lose
You know pancakes still pancakes
We lose Texas free kills reaction to be three at the top onto the plant
It's all on text.
Text trying to find that fight.
Wins it out, pancakes now.
Turn it around and can't bring down text.
How does he get the second kill?
Three players surviving the MIBR.
He was like, 20 health.
Good to see text still having some big moments as well
when he's in questions asked of it.
60 health mode.
After he had a bit of a wobbler in the previous map
and got bailed out by the rest of his team.
That's a really important kill he gets out of this scene,
because otherwise the match just explodes.
Good shit, Aspas and Verne.
Yeah, Aspas and Verne did play that incredibly well.
Verne down in short.
Being able to pick up the kill on the bow.
Also critical.
Just to hold on to space.
Another bonus round avoided.
Somehow, MIBR are weaving their way around these.
Just had a good idea.
Despite the early advantages, EG.
He's playing garage.
She's walking all the way up, though.
Straight through the precipice.
forward, battle follow up, and a flash is to a dead trip
peeled away, but he's just getting caught onto the corner
yeah, he messed up the tree
just fucking love it
fucking love it
oh, he has to push forward to make sure that there's a bit of a clearance
I'm worried about the backstab attempt, but the battle is nowhere near here
if I still take it into the back of that site
chuck darts
ricocheting, ringing out, Odin spamming
kill a spot out, a muzzle forward, get thrown in that close
he's still alive!
and Volmaverno somehow survives
Skips his way straight past that one. That is at least gonna be dealt with broken up Superman has to be a jar here
Mover needs to be good to try to avoid most of his blind fighters coming your way spam down guardians. He runs away leaving through verno
Forced to make the difference. The ethics search is gone. The game is gone guys. The game is gone
Mabia we're looking so hard to try to clear bow out of that spot
They want to get rid it's like what we were talking about on Lotus. You want to get rid of the lurker every where everyone's using Odyn now
Everyone's on drugs
Not being tested still the game is literally gone
If they're gonna do this kind of stuff and set up the flank retake pressure
Then they need to be breaking the trip at a garden and pushing out more actively maybe even with more players
Because otherwise this way people are baiting in the bathroom
EG on the post plant people are taking off their headset
It's gonna take a time out to listen to other people the game is gone the game. We knew is gone
EG doing a bit of damage with the bonus and winning the next rifle round
It's it's pretty much just as good to keep the snowball going. Yeah economy
It'll be in push into a difficult spot here for my VR a time out necessary, but you might have a scramble to get a some guns
to get back into this game.
Yeah.
It was a 50 that might be put
together to be able to flip
all of the momentum on sunset.
But that one required Verna and
Aspas having their alts.
That's not the situation here either.
It's a social carrot. Thank you
for the fun.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
carrot thank you for the fun look at the ethics bro look at the ethics the
honor
I don't know bro, I don't know what will happen, I don't know what will happen to these people.
My boys changed.
It's going to infuse, take that.
It makes me nervous when I play slowly, if we're going to lose, lose fast.
even though they're playing double dualistic and speed up at any moment I
Love my zia's just always in these positions to get spammed
Come to that minute mark. They have found a bit of a target in the form of us fast
text cage dead
Spam is good
EG thinking of a love you know, that's my guy's in caps
Available for my be able to potentially steal away this round
Seconds got a bandit. Yeah, do some damage, but
Bow. Bow has light armor. Yes. He's playing that dangerously. Trip heard.
Timing taken. Breaks it and walks on the way up here.
Doesn't give away the game too much still. EG with the caution.
Come on Bun Bow. That's a crackin' shot. Micro-adjustment of the aim.
Zeckin might be able to get a gun for it and indeed he does. He heals himself back.
Please, please put a stop to this. Thank you.
you some pressure for second to activate with the oldest man in the server to put a stop to it
ethics any at all threats a slow crawl around the map for eg and they do just
done with this shit get this get off my fucking lawn get them off my lawn
us bust with a guardian taken out another player trying to take your timing through a smoke removed
it's very methodical the way that evil geniuses play their attack sides
Pancakes and Potter, combining together to really find a style that suits them.
And now this next round, defines whether or not EG can retake momentum in the series.
Oh boy, oh my god, oh my god.
Do we have a read?
We don't.
Absolutely everything.
The art.
Holding aggressively towards mid-year, fight takin' these garages while Tex-
No!
Gonna try to survive this!
He does one better!
Survives and takes the life of Zerona out in the blink of an eye, EG, just down to-
That was literally it.
What should have been around when he potentially could have dragged it level even did you see him?
Takes down one, but we'll pay for it with his life. And now just bow one be three and some possible
Please don't go over. Please. I'm like I do
Now this is actually winnable if he can kill Mazenia and you know Mazenia
This is one of those rounds where the exit you know about Mazenia fuck yes, I saw
throw a bit of caution to the wind
If EG win this one, it's devastating for a Mabia, but they still have that confidence to be able to take the fight to them in mid
Get all of these kills and leave it all down. What the fuck is going on, Bao?
The step herders pings on the main map
I'll just enter into the cameras. He was jumping made a footsteps. So he's revealed guys
Why do I feel like this is winnable?
Why do I have a feeling?
Yo, go just go bro. The closer it gets to plant they might be there. Maybe not actually
I can tell by the way that Verna is playing this, he doesn't want to offer up a 1v1.
Caved too many opportunities to get timings.
So when the plant does go down, could Baal create magic?
I mean, they're gonna smoke the bomb.
That honestly helps us.
He's taking the 10 risks.
1v3, spike.
Maybe I'll have, again, all the tools to make this one clean.
Ah, he's playing aggro.
He can get the ult out of second, if he can force that, that's massive from Baal.
Generally would.
Jokes out!
How's that ult?
He's gonna be off-loaded here.
N2
He did all he could
Let's try
Alten at 1v3? Yeah, because he knows what a backboard is
Take the win when you can get it. Why risk something?
He knows what a backboard looks like and he used it
Perfectly played by Zacus. He's just talking about.
Do you understand how important these guns are to keep for them? If Bao gets two kills and it's a 1v1, that is a terrible, terrible round for MBR.
Using the Phoenix ult there is maximum max win.
I mean, Mazenio, I like that he pretends he hasn't planks for us by getting the first
kill, but then he says, trade me, and now they don't have a paranoia on the retake.
I fuck with this guy so heavy, bro.
Cause he can't make it too obvious.
Please.
That's huge.
Phoenix and Nion seen.
Oh my god.
Super.
Super.
Super.
Super.
That's huge! Phoenix and the unseen!
Oh my god, super, super please.
There's the Jerome!
They saw him, they saw him, and the Jerome!
We lose, we lose the round!
Michael!
And this fury counter off Verdo, more than a match for him, time, they've got it!
I'm so done, yeah.
One second to spare, 11 rounds now online for MIBR.
What a crazy round.
I really thought Mizzino's early death there had caused huge problems.
Somehow, Dizizin doesn't manage to get this kill, he done so well already by the way, taking our ass past a second.
second, but somehow leaves Verna alive where he's able to counter all pancakes.
The same play.
The Masino's cheering from the sidelines there as his teammate Tex with 5 HP sticks the defuse.
It's not a devastating round for EG.
They are still going to be able to buy, they will still have chances here, but these opportunities
are slipping away from them.
She's going to call something similar to what she called on Sunset in this situation.
What does she call?
To walk up to the double lurk while you fake a C-split, I think is what they're going to
do.
Or they'll actually do the C-split but without the lurkers and they're going to walk into
be. And kill the rotators.
forwards into this lower bracket with the dreams intact of doing some damage on an international stage
Part of the problem for Potter here is gonna be the M.I.B.R. have shown quite a few different
Tempos and looks
They are willing to go and push you
That's what this
Early barrier walk
I mean if Aspa does this alone though, this is nuts
He can't be doing it pressure into mid
He plays bunny
the
the
the
the
the
No better example than this right now. Zech can also just post it deep. He's getting constant information for his team to work around
Garage door is like a fucking fortress to trick a lot of fakes to be held in it
broken up
The fuck kind of read as this positions. Yeah, Texas has to pull his attention towards it
It's so easy to get distracted when he takes position by something like that. I know that's a full committal perhaps
No, cancel out in as far as that deep into it crazy play about was not expecting it
Come on.
Double depth, double depth.
It's actually not a bad thing. It's actually a good thing.
They both get one each.
GG.
Aww, so close.
So close.
What a position by Aspas, by the way.
great job here. I mean, I love the rest of the last boss, but despite the back side, they're
wandering into trips. Look at the fight towards the end here as well. They wall up, and then
they walk in front of it before the wall is propped. And you see a RIT all over Potter's face.
That's the look of disappointment. That's the look of opportunities squandered.
Four rounds in a row to get things to OT. MIBR. Maybe they've weathered the storm at this point,
They're gonna come out the other side
Tragic for EG and it just gets so much more difficult there might be a
By the way forward see it's even now with that you go to that space that timing and anticipated at all
He's gonna run he's gonna run into the a short line
But I'm not expecting it a deep swing that's what we'll have to respect the Molly
Oh, there's a performative running
That's what I wanted to take the fight. It'll be disaster right now
It's still they're trying to float all the way in. It's lovely tracking Odin in the hands of bow
Double up now into hell. Pluriband is still there
Getting this one done into the 2v2
It's everything way to close this one out to move forwards into the lower bracket for eg
It's a matter of survival post planters. Everything pancakes locked in in prime form where matters most
The rookie IGL gets him over the line and helps Duzizin take that one step closer to OT.
To that date with a Brazilian crowd. Where did these kills come from? It looked like
EG were in a devastating situation. Suddenly a flurry and opening. Three more like that.
Let's go. Come on guys
It is energy from Digizine relief from Potter
I'll host the promotions in the face of eG
Please Nazinio I need you
Zeno cage fades by
Snuffy stuff
What are we doing?
That's a spike job town mistakes maze. It's opening up the round to just in trying to activate and offset all of it now
the tag that's mass
Push forward, spam down, and away, as far as...
Find a boss of whirlwind!
Lives up to the name's sake, and the disease is going to do a matter of survival to keep his team in it.
Locked in now, 63 HP, and GARNO!
Spareels it all!
Of course that's how it ends.
Not afraid to play the villain!
Of the enemy eye, it is as awesome as...
He gets two players in that spot.
This guy is the best for us.
spot to continue in this lower bracket of those guys legit it just seems to step out
this was such a battle of endurance between these two teams
and towards the end mivr just had a little bit more gas in the tank
what a performance though from eG
i think they were trying to go C-link to C
they really tested this team with big names
A legendary roster and EG pushed them to the very limit.
M.I.B.R. though were judged and found to be worthy to pass into that next game.
Whatever it is what it is.
The budget for EG and the budget for M.I.B.R. are like not in there, guys.
Today, M.I.B.R. the victors are any means necessary.
They got the job done in a final few moments, tested battered blue and EEG, but still able
to carry the blackboards in a Brazilian brawl waged and allowed on the other side of things
but that spot in Sao Paulo.
Absolutely poetic way to take a team forwards into a big arena event.
Poetic, Verna was the one who closed it out with the Odin as well because that was instrumental
to the way they got their job done today on AEG.
I want it might be able to lose. Yeah, no, I literally am gonna. Hey, watch the rest of the rest of the time. Who did they play next?
Who'd they have next?
Yeah, loud G. Let's go. Loud G
Get the answers to use all my powers
If that single thrifty, that's the one I keep coming back to all in her day
We've learned when Aspas is ultimate, when they managed to convert it and throw the whole momentum back in their favor,
you can tell that they had the experience coming from players like Aspas.
I mean, that's not a bad way to get eliminated.
Truly not a terrible way. I mean, yeah, six out of six pistols for sure.
But at least we played honorably and ethically.
We lost with honor and ethics, intact and dignity.
He did his back bit of disappointment as they realized the gear has come to a close.
The player like the Zazine.
Trustle was placed into him again as well.
He's spoken at great lengths.
I actually appreciated the opportunity to compete again on this EG team, but today it's NIVR.
The victors, the winners, the chance to move into a big arena event.
You can tell that PanSci.
But it really did take everything.
I mean he's him. He's there. He is the GOAT.
Hey, guy, what do you do? I feel bad, bro. I feel bad for the boys, though. I know they're gonna be tilted. I know they think they should have won that game.
That's fucked.
GG's, though.
of on the EG
Today the victors MIBR they live another day. We decided out of ribbs down on the stage, but I've arrived in
It could have won. Yeah, for sure
Thank you very much gentlemen, I am joined by
MIBRs Mazzino as they keep the lower bracket
Interviewing huge win over that's our sixth man, baby
And my first question to you is the brain fully melted is it partially melted? How do you feel after that series?
And now partial events meltdown. Not a hundred.
A little bit. A little bit.
Yeah, I think if we lose, yeah, meltdown.
No, but yeah, after first map it was really stressful.
And then the two after, they were like really tough too,
but after first one it was, yeah, it was really, really...
No, on the real...
So you've been trying to kind of advance yourself in the IGL...
On the... I don't care about the interview.
On the real, EG actually put up an insane fight.
I can't lie.
Like no one thought, yeah everyone...
I know all of you thought this is going to be clean MIBR when I know for a fact you did
Not bad actually though objectively not bad though not bad at all
Yeah, they played well they played with this good structure here. There is a there is a future at the scene for sure
Loud M I B R. Okay, wait, so what do I have to do? Okay, so wait, let's see. So I'm watching EMEA tomorrow
So we're gonna start with EMEA because it is the grand final and
Then we're gonna go to these games
Okay, you guys are pissing me off you guys are actually knowing me
I'll be here for you. Yeah guys. It's an 11 hours. I got plenty of time
I'll play ranked to like 5 a.m. Go to sleep wake up. Yes. I'm up. What are we on about right now?
Yeah, if I lie, 100 gifted.
You win no matter what.
If I'm lying, then 100 gifted to you.
Start recording ranked games, got it.
Well, GGZG, GG's M-I-B-R.
Realistically, I think it makes sense where this bracket is heading.
What does MIBR need to do to qualify here?
Um, they can't, they can't qualify.
Yeah, top two, literally.
Actually the top two, they have to beat MIBR.
Okay, wait, this is possible though, no?
This is doable for MIBR.
Okay, maybe not here, but it's doable up until here.
Like they can get to here.
They're not getting passed loud. Okay, I agree loud looked way better yesterday than MIBR looked today.
I agree with this.
But MIBR has the capability of playing well.
All right, they have it in them.
This is where I think it could end up.
LevG2 loud, MIBR.
They're not being in Lev or G2.
They could be G2.
No?
You don't think MIBR could be G2?
G2 is not convincing.
Lev, I agree.
Yeah, I think they can get to here. I think MIBR playing above average could get to here.
Truly. Obviously unless a loud like, loud obviously impressed against NRG. There's no question
about that. But I don't know why. I just have some faith in the MIBR players being able to
do this. We'll see I guess. But yeah, okay, tomorrow I'm going to be on for EMEA. EMEA
into America's. Down? Down. Who do we raid, guys? Good stream today, by the way. 6 and
a half hours. Good games. 2-1's both games. Not bad at all. Minus the bis, obviously.
Who are you playing ranked with? I don't know. I'll find someone. I still have to eat. So
That's why I was answering the call, because I had to let the person up, because I ordered food.
Timotino?
Okay, I'm done.
Since he, you know, congratulated him on his win.
Timotino 07.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I love you guys, man.
Thanks for showing up with me today.
Thanks for hanging out.
Thanks for all the subs, follows, donations, everything.
Thanks for chatting. Thanks for keeping the chat not super toxic. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for the banter always
We'll be back for EMEA tomorrow. That is the plan if I'm not back for EMEA tomorrow, then I've lied and I owe you money
But I love you guys now. Peace
