known that there's money on the line. What are you talking about?
Why are you slandering me right now?
Yeah, KC are very proactive on that defense. Like they said, they got a loose system and what you need in that loose system is to make those pools and they are making those pools.
I think you highlight Leaven correctly. I think Leaven is that player that I said before.
If he's got an angle, he's not going to be pushed off of it unless you fully utilize him.
And in this battle where you've got not much utility, you have to use a lot on Leaven, which means that you then got almost nothing for your exec.
So he is drawing out a lot of value for his team.
Hey, Gabin.
I'm just here to study Nets.
I just got to study Nets here for the Cypher gameplay.
I don't want us to start doubting it. We are two maps up.
This is the guys who needs to start searching for the answers right now.
Yeah!
We are a weak condition.
We are the one who needs to win the top right now.
That's why every single round, no matter who won the clutch, who lost the clutch,
fight for every single round, okay?
I miss these.
Lucky they gave the pride.
I think the game goes the worstest for them.
I miss these, yeah?
They are the ones that need the answers right now.
We're two maps up!
I would love Nats to be doing the same.
They need the fuck they need to figure out the answers
I miss this guy bro
The best thing about VCC ENA and it's not even close
It's like prime fanatic
And that's just such a like that's just has that emotional intelligence. He's such just uh, no offense to the others
He knows how to call it how it is. I think that he inspires a lot of aura when he's av David's here one there
And it seems like there is always an uptick in performance every time he goes into that
game.
Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona.
I did see that.
Yeah.
Being a vital piece in this.
And I saw Martinelli to Alquilal.
How to speak to your players in the delivery of your message.
And I feel like Natz always knows how to speak to them individually, right?
If he needs to treat someone else separately to the others, then he will.
And I feel like that's really important in a team environment.
I mean, it's very good leadership, but not only does he have this.
I think it's very good leadership because of every leader back bar on top of the screen interest
I'm sorry. I just didn't very I didn't scale it properly
Easy me thank you. It's your one. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
How do you think the teams are feeling it? I was ranked. I didn't play rank last night
I was straight to why I think those straight to bed. I like Dilly Dally for like an hour and then
And then, um, eventually ended up sleeping.
Are you flying to Shanghai for finals?
Watch Party?
I am not.
I will be staying home.
This time around.
I am not in this world anymore.
I'm only in my screen and I am trying to give the calm energy to my teammates.
Do you think Lev is currently better or as good as NRG or G2?
I do think that on their good on a good day for them. However, not unbeatable, obviously
100 Thieves beat them.
I think Lev are probably clear favorites to win the tournament.
Like you can't say otherwise. I don't think from an objective point of view, but
Energy 100 thieves
I don't know about G2 and that bracket nong shin
And obviously the wild card that is paper X no matter what you guys are gonna say about them
our threats to love
Sunset ascent lotus summit
Wow no abyss. I love this fucking region
I don't know why I didn't watch the region earlier
Banding of this is the greatest thing I've ever seen
We haven't seen the team liquid sunset in stage two and they left it open in their match yesterday
But we obviously didn't get to see how team liquid we're gonna play it. Do you think they're gonna be going for comfort on this one?
Yes
I think that is the name of the game. It's only on that abyss where they squirt the
Very comfortable is the NA win champs, it's a matchup based game, it kind of depends on who they match up against on their runs.
APAC has given NA a decent amount of trouble in the earlier stages of tournaments.
Let's not forget Vitality guys, let's not forget Vitality.
Let's not forget, these teams right here, you like KC, you got Liquid, you just don't
know the champs.
It's such a weird tournament sometimes.
I enjoyed watching you shop for your Porsche, thank you.
you very much. I think having expectations for champs is like the last thing I want to do.
I kind of want to go into that event very like um let's see what happens kind of mindset because
always some stupid shit happens. Not stupid but like surprising. Um so we just have to wait and
See as you know potentially not gonna see here like obviously we have our favorites in our
Underdogs, but why do you think it's champs anything can happen?
I mean we saw it in some of these teddy ranchers like nuts on that side for as the iconic map for him
And I think that they're the jet and the fiends makes a lot of sense there compared to other maps
I think overall Tyler who are insane to split and not chance winner like like but capable of making a deep run
That's what I mean. You just never know incredible thing. It's a matchup based game
The the lovely thing about this game because I know I give this game a lot of shit
But the lovely thing about this game at least watching the game
as a fan is
the
The lack of these teams have like playing against each other regionally or sorry
internationally
A team like let's say energy having to face a team like Tyloo
You literally haven't even played these guys in your lives. You have no feel for these players
That's where the the weirdness comes in you need the more familiar
You're familiar familiar familiarity that you have with the players you're playing against the easier the game is
naturally to
To adapt to but when you don't have that you're relying on vods and there's nothing like actually getting the feel for how a team is playing
So teams can always catch each other off guard
Because of that I think that's a good thing
I don't want to only qualify for Champions, I want to win the whole tournament.
Going to Grand Final is different.
This is not just Grand Final in VCT EMEA, that's actually very exciting.
We changed our whole system, how we approach things.
I got so much more comfortable.
Playing them is actually playing a little bit mirror.
It's kind of similar to us.
It's always good to be the first one in such a big thing, the first trophy really tricky.
I've never won a single leasty tournament, so I want this to be my first one.
I'm sure that it's going to be in Barcelona, which is like an intensity.
I started the franchise with the winning the trophy, and finishing the franchise with the winning the trophy would be amazing.
The real go.
Good amount of people.
Oh
Shit
I'm ready to fall, I'm ready to run as I can be seen
I'm just gonna take, I'm just gonna take the flames away
We have delivered to the battle destination
I have lost my last, reach the destruction
And as you are here, I take this shot
I
Through
I'm speechless.
The vibe is hot.
Yeah, the one guy is a little strange.
If he had a group with him, I feel like it would look less cool.
Yeah, the one guy is a little strange if you had a group with him I feel like it would
look less unnatural but hey man
breath thank you to the crime
I can't look at Chad if I'm watching this shit.
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I can't, I can't.
I don't know
Barcelona!
We're almost reaching the land!
We've built this story together!
Memories for the rest of our lives!
Surprises from the Alhambra!
Teams that have fought but only two
are able to get here to take part
of the Finale Terapis and Jimmy A.
It's Barcelona!
And I only have one request for all of us here!
Let's remember this moment!
Let's live it!
I
Restate you to zero one man and risk thank you to zero
He's the guy for the C male
just found out so he gets it was on the scene I'm not even kidding I just found out
that's a nice surprise
Oh my god, it's a best of five, so I'm gonna get hella psyched for setups from this guy.
It's a research project for me.
Is this playing an informed KC?
Why does this team look so tall?
Everyone's so tall on the scene. It looks like they're all minimum six-foot.
Low camera angle could be. I mean, I know Nazi's tall. Nazi's super tall, but...
Obviously the coach is fucking actually
One of them can raise a trophy. Yes, they qualify for champion Shanghai
But now that focus is on becoming champions here in Barcelona
Those team huddles are going to be emotional that they're also going to be focused
Can each of these teams unlock their highest skill ceiling today and dominate the competition?
Everyone is saying this has got to be a close final both of these teams
We've fairly similar what's the cameraman doing trying to get into it. He's got to get all the audio from the huddle and all the shots
That's guys on dick
I have KC being the favorites especially with the two mafios
Jenny looks like a masters. Yeah, it does. I mean, that's really gonna final make sense
You know, we gotta be extra hype for that extra budget
Not too crazy, though, I mean they're not gonna get the guy back up dancers or anything
One dancer
Can't have that not a masters
I am curious though. I've watched neither of these teams play this split.
Yeah, I mean these two are the clear best in the NBA right or is the vitality is better than either of these teams?
Form-wise these two are the best
What I have gathered
Vitality sucks
Sure way better. Oh, so you guys agree. This is this should be the final
Okay, and we're we're all the same page
That's cipher. That's all I needed to see
Mary chamber
So has chamber really carried this team like like are they chamber every map
Phoenix do
Okay
Master the the meta
Nice to see CeCe get to in a file though
He's going to be down to purple to show if he can flex away from that jet and find value come on
I love a euro. Yeah, I think that hammers being with performing extremely well
And I think this agent provides so much value especially on that defense being able to cross-map rotate
Who are you with always nuts for me?
Big enough. I'm a big nuts fan. I always blaze nuts
think he is the closest thing to
to um for me at least you know like when it comes to like looking up to a player or idolizing a player
in valorant i think he is the perfect uh example of that for me
i think uh he has a very good he doesn't try to do too much
He's just a good guy. He's a good guy who's gaming.
I think he's a good example for a lot of young kids as well out there.
He knows what a backboard looks like. He's not out here with swishes and fucking 360 dumps.
This is a player that knows what a backboard looks like. He takes his layups.
and
he says it's a lot of
very quick fight and then
I'm very separated set up the mouth of these three to do something together
Or at least these two need to get together before these guys retake it's kind of hard.
That's Deagle, Trek's Deagle, Purpo-Deagle, he needs one and he needs to live.
Maybe the last man they'll see before they die in a raid already
I mean what a kill and he kept all his health
Good damage almost immediately after it's given time for purple though in position. Oh that would have been a huge kill to get
You'll be able to live to tell the tale and the screen is giving him a read. It's too hard Gus
Yeah, way too hard. Also great decision by the Elmen to get away from that spot and keep
spawn instead. Not getting them to kill there when they keep that angle. It's insane that
Liquid knew exactly what KC was gonna do there. They had a whole set up for it on the right side of middle holding down mid
And they end up losing the fight there
I did not notice that bug there
oh boy it's gonna be a little bit top heavy in favor of Casey they get a little
nervous a little nervous that's okay and this one in particular is one we haven't
seen since last year for liquid thank you Predator appreciate you know but I do
feel like you qualified for champs now but they had a really nice try I think
the improvement that team showed there as well I know you guys are gonna say
hashtag ad because I'm part of eG but they're a solid fucking team man they
out on the ropes
uh... saunty thing to prime
much more passive
they got better and better as the split went on which i mean as long as there's
improvement in progress
what am i going to complain about
eG's budget is what like three dollars per player
Now let's look at fucking MIBR, billion-dollar team, taking a billion-dollar team through the ropes.
What are we talking about right now?
Silverware is what's gonna be remembered in years to come especially the last in the partnership era
You've said it that's having the first and the last
He's gonna be remembered as it is, but it's always nice to have the trophies to go with it
And they use a note an unethical fucking just unethical crumbs
The raid will have an extra piece or two a sheriff alongside that headhunter
But the rest of the team all have rifles and others is
They see, looking for a mid-fight, Perpo was offering it, quickly bales out, no real loss
just yet.
Oh my goodness, Narek.
I mean, either way though, him getting that B main control allows his team to B-split.
This is a big kill, but still the B-split can still happen.
They're switching into an A-Split now.
Hey!
Wow.
KC got all the fights they wanted.
They got every fight they wanted.
That's the closer.
That was a good round for KC though.
Thank you, thank you.
That is a great round for KC, using the entry back cleanly and then still managing to make
it go into a 1v1 at the end.
Wow.
That could have gone either way.
Honestly, good mid fight though from Liquid, playing with balls.
A lot of teams give up that space and then KC would have been able to manipulate going back and forth.
Like leaving one guy here, running up here, and then coming back to B when this guy gets the kill.
When you give all that space up and don't play for it, it's very easy to like, fuck with rotations.
That's not good.
That's not good.
It was a close previous round
What's worked is grouping up smack in those sites with the advantages all they have to be wary of I suppose is abes portal closed
I'm liking this gamble from liquid
Unfortunately, it's the wrong gamble, but I do like what they're trying to accomplish
Protocols like this should be very very second nature to top teams now on this side of the map
if he can at least delay the round over save I don't even try to go for this wow are they
actually going to go for this because of that the deficit isn't quite as bad the liquid yeah
definitely a misread on the rotations there uh I guess he thought that was like the learner for
man that's just rage walk like fighting already at a team striking a little bit early has given
liquid the idea that they can still fight for this I think they might have went for the
The save how they have made it to these positions still been facing in to a three versus five
Are they really good go for this? They are it looks like
Whether it's still worth going for the power noya lined up tells us it is
No, there's a save. It's the same and you know it is
I mean it was always the same guess this is always the same
I don't like that. I don't like that. They didn't save there
Yeah, the flash definitely missed but either way they're nearsighted and they're in the close angles
It the best case scenario the trades go
still in favor of
Even if the flash is perfect it would not have mattered
In that scenario they did not have a neon alive if a neon slides out. It's a completely different story
But they should not have gone from that round
Yeah, well it's coming up though get it in position and make that fight so much more awkward make that player in the close corner
unpunishable
few seconds I
I love how simple KC is keeping it. Is it really this easy to take both bombsites?
Or just in this region
Failing I love what they did send the guys in who benefit from going down here
And then keep the others back to go down to the spike even punishing a kill at the end making it a little bit more costly
Happy days for liquid and how that round went the problem is them doesn't mean anything
If Casey managed to find this this already. I'll never played sunset by the way. I see a lot to work with for Casey
They win this will greenly yet no question. It's an awful start for liquid
But even just taking very standard trips from that's it. I
They're very standard, there's full retake on it.
Only issues is when you don't mask the retake and a team is able to walk up on you, they
immediately recognize it's a Cypher, he walked into that, he actually walked into that.
start to the round the trip not cleared their entry in the form of leaven
going down who has had a bit of a quiet to start it's not been a problem thus far
without well the rest of the break camera you can see was in the camera right
here who peeked to break that waiting patiently at the back of the side they
happy to play retake because they have that dimensional drift because they have
that night for two holes that can clear an awful lot of angles if they get
The singular killer will kill everybody, but instead they go looking and clearing out Sugetsu is important
They think that's the lurker, but in fact the rest of team were actually rotating towards him
Leaving Nere here and walking back to be as the mid lurker takes a time in
convinced team liquid work that that's going for some info here, but he it is ones they are playing all ones right now
Pulling them back. They were hesitant to push forward because I thought I'll just lose the round
They wanted to pick but they couldn't get one because no one was fighting there
They were looking in their own spawn then just being so aware of where Nere is right now
And he's just basically out of the round very late. They need to keep it that way
But purpose being super patient as well. He expects it. There's two separate games going on
But only one of them is the spike in front. It's the three players on the B site
Now they know there's another man rallying to the spike halfway the views
Unbelievable that liquid loses this
Unbelievable that Liquid lose this that Casey somehow bring that round back
Off of a double B main setup and narrate in literal Narnia
But I mean nary did keep purple there for a while liquid at all the information still they give a 3d2 in my retake
Wow
Kano has a has gotten a rough start to this game, huh?
Very rough start.
See, I don't like when teams don't mask their Cypher a little, especially when the Cypher
is playing at A. Like, if you're going to play Sunset A on Cypher, I want my other
teammates that are regularly in the A bomb site to make some A main noise, some fighting
here and there. Then you can go back and do whatever you wanted to do. If you want to
over stack B or refight mid, that's fine. But at least mask that I'm not here. First.
I mean
Why are we stealing sliggies viewers you beg me to come I would you think I want to be here
Kidding, I do want to be here. It is the word final
So why do they keep Sunset in the pool?
They don't play it.
They don't have ATRAPS either.
Any ATRAPS?
Nothing?
Like Paranoia off of someone shooting?
This is a good play though.
This is a good play though
Camo's already here. Yeah, getting this site
Worth using a fadeout here
Two pings
And that's the round
in the end. It's all too easy, it backs against me against a wall back shot. They lose the
rate early, they lose the up early, and all of it's a relative of Casey looking to the
top. I'm going to need a replay of what Doja just did immediately. Off the nightfall
using the TP you love to see if I'm looking. There's, that was two kills. That was
two kills get out of here
I think they also want to get a third back side but it's nice to get into the snake bite
I'd say it's a nice play but gorgeous working the course
they certainly won't hear it has to be hit by that nightfall
what a nice little execute yeah it's an old use against an eco but
they're fade ulted had its upsides nothing crazy I don't think
that's anything crazy am I wrong am I tripping right now when liquid are going to have to break this
It's pretty standard what just happened.
I like how he hit her Charlottes, I see it.
Three kills is crazy there.
Oh wow!
What a hold! Also, is there a reason on Sunset Nats isn't playing B?
To begin to begin them again.
the spike he just doesn't know that all of these close angles are currently clear.
I think the rounds already gone four players they could just throw themselves out into stop the
plant and if you even had that spike he knows that this weapon has he saved it? Not really the
one that you want to say it is it the oath will disappear the judge won't do much but now there's
a rifle on the floor and three defenders that might be a little wary about holding it one isn't
Purpo's giving him the challenge. Missed the shot
That'll be the only opportunity he gets rifle. Oh, actually won't
He's gone. Anyways, the rifle saved
That looked out for kicks. He was not gonna let those you get away with that two rounds in a row
TP out this time. They could hear it. Thanks a hell of a difference. And that's been one of the fun things
Wow
Good eye
There are way the fuck that I came from
Fire
They do in a row though majority of the games we've seen no eyebreakers. What do we even do it?
He's going for a mid pick and we don't have a guy peeking out door nothing
I think they'll hope that that will be the start of something for liquid normally a force to be reckoned with on the
Okay, he's playing aggressively.
Camo dies again.
Look at how much space KC has. They won the A-fight while taking this much mid control.
Where even is Liquid?
Why is my Scyther having to do everything?
Nice shot, though, once he gets here.
The site is an unknown factor, and he will drop the spike.
Oh, wow, oh, wow.
In the hands of Team Liquid, and with one more kill,
he could clean the run.
Oh, beautiful.
I mean, they are clean, bro.
The thing is, mechanically, they look clean as fuck.
Yeah, we got a little bit uncomfortable in the middle there.
I think Kicks had absolutely no idea that they were going to play two of the other side
tracks
For a moment as I they look a little matey but the fact that he's then able to drop the spike
and then hold that ground and even the surprise factor for the ray he had absolutely no idea
Liquid start their streak two in a row of the case he's still firmly in the lead
We're trying to do fast B-splits.
Wait, Liquid is feeling it now.
The beam in guy is dead too.
I
See the question is what do they want to say two versus five weapons in their hands
We've talked about their creditors, but now we've seen a couple rounds
Chip away at that economy. How does this guy die just gets Pete's 1v1 a vipers pit
That they seem keen to put in even in 3d5 without as 11 HP 25 shields as well with a little reach
I think it's still take a bullet, but I'm not sure I'd want to be
But that's the thing, yeah, he's just gonna do one B5 like oh should we go
away and use the blade?
He's also got 11 with an overdrive, you know, someone try and walk through, he just blitz
everybody.
But it looks like that bit's not gonna go down.
Nah.
Not in this round.
Nah.
Why, it does seem like that, that singular round coming out of kicks was enough to
really ignite the flame beneath liquid.
That's fucked.
It's the sport try clear out some of these additional weapons
To try and damage that economy a little bit further, but they will I need to see how uh that'll man died
And at least leaves KC would still another opportunity to purchase
We are starting to see those credits that no he just takes the one-day one. They would like that
With a rifle
So interesting. This is the most I've seen a cypher play the a bomb site and it'll men be constantly
So so interesting
team liquids placements in the past well case he's a little bit different yeah
obviously we skipped a little bit in the middle there but it's the last few is
what we're looking at the last five of their run through have been a nightmare
biker workweek lurk utility I think that's why yeah you might be right on
that stage back at the high cans are pretty good for that also the low the
low trips are constantly going to get value against the neon it's just gone
downhill up until this streak where we have seen a complete turnaround from Casey
an opportunity to end on a high well what started off as a blitz the
potential for them to run through another team of course since we've been in
Barcelona it has only been something ohs two ohs three ohs they haven't been
a mask go either way and after a hot start I was maybe questioning if we
the
that's a gun
If he finds that extra gear brings us up to even 50. Well, okay, see could be in a lot of trouble
The rate on the other side though the man that we said has just given you so much upside as a team
This has got to be a kill for Nuri, right?
And those early rounds and that's what they send him out to look to do again
burpo disrupts him sends him fleeing wound
Not out of the round just yet
I
Retreats for middle can they got the can out that's is that it be right now longer feels comfortable holding all by as long
So but I love the fact that they've put a trap inside that elbow so you can leave one
He's walking out mid it doesn't matter if they can slip through you know was just there
Never mind as long as you've got eyes on short all that prowler is actually sold a bit
It's a good read though. That's very big and a fade-out is be this runs already over anything
But clearly with nothing being spotted elsewhere
They will keep their three-man stack on this side of the mountain and they have good vibe on
No, I don't think there was enough pressure down a day, but not even I'm dead really there's kind of pop be lit
I think you can even tell matches going okay, we haven't seen him in this round that means he was lurking around me
He was looking to cut off rotations
We want that all yeah purpose coming back to finish the job
Also, like if you're gonna hit B and you see the neon was out mid
Is it easier just to reclear mid and then just pop to fire split me sorry
Give yourself a chance at least
Like have
I have Casey even gone market one time this whole game
Even though he's not the top. Good job. I think the problem they had is dealing with kicks
I think a lot of people
When he came back obviously had gone into the Academy team risen back up
Maybe doubted his addition to this roster, but he's been a different player all together
Wow
That's really just does not give a fuck look at this guy this guy is insane man
Wrap this shit up brother six two to six six
and dominance from KC credits built up at least be in the lead it's not a
commanding one at the half but now the break they're gonna have to sit and
remember those last five in a row that they faltered for during this half-time
you won't have to sit and think it's that sit and listen to this interview
with commando
to me the most top five top five highest value like highest value player of all
time that's maybe the top three so tell me a little bit about how you're feeling
with KC you have already made it to chance of course getting this especially
Now that he's in game leader
Bounce on it I will fucking boing bitch
What play do you think has to shine in the second half, Ricky?
I think today is the second half today.
So first map I think we get to carry us because it's clutch.
I also ask him who thinks he has to show up,
who has to go out to play, especially for this second half,
and who can close his first map.
And he tells me that today is the day of his get-go.
Careful, because it's been a long time since we've seen him shine a lot.
But he's a very, very good player.
Let's see if they can do it in the second half.
Let's see if they can do it in the second half.
I do have to say, EMEA teams, there's a lot of simplicity, which I like, but on gun rounds
where the opponent has ults, I don't like. So far, so far. Not obviously very early
days, but so far. I'm not gonna say E and E, I want to generalize, but KC. That's right.
They just walk down then and kill Delerker? Respect.
And then Nere fights it.
Wow, both pistols won.
With two pumps of a shorty
Nats his luck being dealt with immediately and I do think that's something that just fucking peak man. It's over
No matter what we see on one side of the map
There's always gonna be a man in the middle a man looking to get behind us
I think level was just like all right. I could deal with that problem. Imagine how some TV cops shot from tracks, but
Still a whole lot to do
So get to
He's even moved a little bit further forward so exiting from here is impossible
And it means that even if they pause or slow or try and date that they've gone the rest of team
No, they are in this elbow. There's
Too low now way too low
20 seconds left his HP is dropping every time he takes a shot, but he's dropping members of the opposition even faster
Good try honestly good try
Casey will reclaim their lead
So it was a 1-3-1, they pushed down mid, killed Nats, aimed stuff, let it into A, and Mary just gets two shorty kills. Back all.
That is fucked. That is so fucked.
tracks there's a little addition on the end oh yeah he has been the most clutch
fur we've seen throughout stage two especially in raw numbers that's
agro lurking being a pressuring the damage then he comes back to middle in
the prior as it's just a formality rounds gotta be over with every single
member of Casey at least investing a little of the interesting thing is the
Where do you put the chamber trip? I mean probably just top mid right chamber plays a mainly and then they have
Viper view with like an orb
And the wall in case they pop through the wall is very good though
No wounded soldiers in this fight on the side of KC
And Levin has had a tough first defense like a lot of purple 11 at the same half as him
But now moves to the defensive side the chance is he stands against a horn taking one down
opening up the fight for his teammate, Sugetsu, keen to close, but to 8-6 with relative comfort for KC.
I don't know what he's talking about, I like Sugetsu, maybe it's versus Ekobar, given the credit nonetheless.
Even still though, they come into this one, again it is basically what I said, they have the three rifles that they carried through
the SMG on 11 who maybe not quite as close to his alt as he probably wanted to be.
I was maybe hoping for an extra couple of kills so that overdrive can come into effect
And then the headhunter on the right here either way for liquid. This is gonna be
Their first spy. Yeah, had the a versus 3a to try and keep this. We are playing to hold this clean
Okay, they walked in in to the comms
Good attempt at a retake though, but I think he's fucked
Well, hand-built men.
That's died on the lane lurk because two people were fighting backhaul?
How's this gone so poorly?
Jesus. So on pistol Nets gets entry and then he gets entry again on an A hit as the solo
lane player. How? Oh wow, that is not a rescue. Yeah, that's crazy what he just did.
Like, look, if the prowler went through and it didn't see anything while that backhaul
fight is going on, then I could understand.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with it.
I could understand him taking a timing.
But to die, trying to like fight with the Prowler, with that lane guy, with a neon wall
in front of him, like going through a neon wall, like that's insane to me.
It's so not worth it.
This team was nowhere near backhaul.
They didn't even have half the backhaul.
Like what has an attack problem, the whole stage 2 with every opponent.
Kevin, I mean that play is just so bad.
It's very uncharacteristic.
So desperate for a round where you have better guns.
Not really sure what he was thinking there.
the defense they're better side already behind them we're looking for a
reason to still believe chamber remain you see this every game it's also the
map though but so hard to push back can everybody walk to a little bit me I'm
gonna hold you it's one that because of the double veto advantage the KC gets
they are forced to play the rest of the series is more chamber tripped market
Vito
What to win this one I'd be very worried
About KC
Instead though it is kind of going to plan and this round in a similar fashion so strange like you guys see what I mean like
Oh, it is playing in the a bomb site
But his team wasn't even like there like you know what I mean, maybe not necessarily there either and the comfort on the map
I think is clearly not there
Yeah, it's been a full of aches and pains
for a liquid they found their stride, but
Could keep pace for the whole race
Balling behind it looks like double digits on the board for KC. It's good. I love it
Oh, and they're grouped up like the defense is giving no chances for this one to go
Trains are all they're looking for that's the right man on purpose screen as he falls and for tracks of East Wings
He'll see for what we would have the right to come back to cover the bases cover their backs
I mean they got bonus it's already over this this would be too hard this would be like
they need to win two clean gun rounds in a row there's just two gun rounds in a row and
accumulate ults and they have to do it against ults they got to deal with this
be main line before they do this a stuff I think this is an a fake and they pop
big will be back into a B-split you guys take this bit
has already dropped one a nice trade out at least
he thinks he's
wow he gets two
is what gets them a man advantage
so Gatsuz still looking at the wall
he gets two, Omen has the entire all of B space
Hicks
holding on the other side of the map it means there with
out the sides
yeah a lot of 1v1s given that shouldn't be but whatever
they're gonna be pressured to aid it
they're only sending the one man forward he tries to catch
almost just close the round by himself
it's just a one for one this time
Don't see it will be everything and there's no time in there, camo is sprung to life, I'm welcome to get to
What made them refight camo though?
I didn't mean to
They want to go for it
Well he certainly is
A man that it's working out
There was a guy back home, they could have double peaked
7k in his back pocket, no way he found out
Oh the fake TP, I assume
They're talking just regaining the space
Well it looks like for now at least, he'll keep closing in the distance
find a pick soon and throw yourself at this round but he is just going to be starved of any opportunities
let's go to unbox them in but he's done that so far in every round so yeah that's a good trip
deep don't really need to go a whole lot but they're fully expecting him to be here at this stage
been so scared but even still he's the one with a crispy brain that's far a little bit of
extra cost an extra rebuy will be needed and what what is the loss nothing
trading our rifles there is just fine for KC they've got the bankroll to keep
that going liquid need to wait around for the rest
your rule is like to work to beat up the auditorium okay and he's just breaking it
he has to type PTP it was good because of our power it's a freaking free
interesting position from Derek putting the pieces together
over on KC, this is not always working out, as I was about to say, the camera just wrecked
it anyway.
That's the idea though, shots like that often come down to a coin flip.
It's the thought that counts, but not really, because they lost the round.
They're still looking for the summon, can't find it.
The value anymore of the big pressure on the right waiting for one. No, we want small or he's a bit greedy
Are you fucking serious?
Bro when people are on chamber
No, you don't push them out and a big advantage for the defensive side
That position from kicks is a little worrying
He's got an awful lot of space. He's managed to get past the trap
Well, the chamber was what kicked off the round for them, but it could also be there undoing
It seems like Leven will be dead to rights unless he's got spider-man level senses
No, there's no way to see he doesn't there's no way like we can bring this round back
frustrating right
They're still gonna make their way towards the site. Oh timing is the most important and goes here timing
There's so many I could suggest even while
No, I think he saw his gun right before he got flash
DOS 9
His name is dosia
And that's just one of many from dojo one of the less impressive great hold
Yeah, he is single handedly burying liquid under disadvantage
Yep, they're never pushing this guy back the most fun thing about this case he roster
You haven't been the step up of one player. It's been the step up of many
Everybody buying into the new system. Everybody. Hi shots
Okay, that's
That's a little bit more of what we come to expect, but he's given us a lot of info
Wow this guy's feeling himself, huh?
Is this GG I mean this is a player permit then so I'm not gonna be too critical of them
Bender thing in the press
the
tracks won't forget anything done in the 12
locked in for a squad that was
feel so natural on the chamber
that hasn't changed
the crews the same and look at them look at the performance like the way that they play now much more confident
you can see them enjoying the game
that's something that the rate talked about
it's very much by the fields
overblocked by its strategy and again and system has worked before we know it can
but for these players they needed as ACE they needed that change but it is still
unbelievable to see the ceilings that they have broken through to get to where
they are today zero and five six and one Jesus Christ
dominated in these early stages of the round still fighting for it is a
deathmatch. Is it genuinely a deathmatch? Have you guys seen a one piece of Utah throw in this game? Or this hero?
not respect the liquid that stand upon the stage of the camo with 45 and three to find
it seems like the right now is exactly where his opponent's coming from they picked the poison
of liquid at map number one knowing if he can park and in that second half it certainly was but
there's just his shift didn't need a rebuild it stayed the same but the captain jumped overboard
And then what's replacing has left them one zero up in the grand final here. They're already
going to champions, but they could be going right in the middle of that stage and lifting
a trophy. The final one of the era. The man who led them to this victory.
Now the first snaps over, what do we think of Kaplan? What does Kaplan have to do with
What are you talking about?
Are we talking about Nery's stuff again?
That's Gatrod.
I mean, I'm sure they're trialing about, not trialing, but I'm sure they're talking to a bunch of other people as well.
You need to stay composed as a family. I remember. A family, whatever happens, always like, gonna try to find solutions together to solve it because you are like, same blood.
Guys, you need to stay composed as a family, remember.
A family, whatever happens, always like, gonna try to find solutions together to solve it,
because you are like, same blood, you know.
We went through hell, guys.
To be there today, just to enjoy. We don't care about the stakes.
We know how to win.
So the most important is the process, and if we do the process and we lose, it doesn't matter again.
Because at the end of the day, as I said, the most important is to stick together.
So boys, enjoy, go in the game and have fun.
Have fun. That's the most important thing. You work it so hard to be there today. Enjoy the crowd
If you get the pressure, it's fine and brace it. Remember just don't fight it
We are a family
I don't know enough French to do that have a break have a kit cat wingman world while
wanting a well one break let's go
And Karmencorp, we demand the best.
This is what backs us up, the Razor Iscara V2 Nujen.
There's a lot of ones that these teams give a lot of fights.
Damn, this is rough.
Sorry, I keep on getting seasick, I don't know.
Allergies are kicking in today.
PRXLog, uh, do we watch it now?
I don't really feel like watching it right now.
Like of sleep?
No.
I think it's just allergies.
Maybe when it's APAC games?
I don't even know when the APAC games are.
I think it's a while from now.
Yeah, five days, four days.
I mean, it's not lucky. They have to play their perma-man. It is what it is.
It's not like they had a crazy game plan on this. They probably just didn't want to take ones anyway.
That's probably why Nats was taking all these crazy risks.
It's fine. Not the end of the world.
I just don't know who the fuck is good anymore.
Like, when you don't watch an entire region for this long, I just don't know who's like
solid fundamentally and who is it and how they would do internationally yeah I
mean Casey obviously look good and the way they move around the map is decent
however I was not really that a big fan of their attack side I'm not saying they
need to overcomplicate. I like the simplicity of what they're doing.
The way that they were, the, the, the, how little pressure they were putting
around the map though concerns me.
It didn't matter here, obviously, but in general,
a lot of it is like a big walk around take one's glitch.
And I don't know that that's good, but I mean it is a gunfight meta. So whatever take your fights
See what happens?
Plus when you do that and you actually get the kills it allows your chamber to activate
But when you don't need just walking around kind of just useless a little bit
It just feels gambling is all.
They were doing some very complex shit but they couldn't keep up with themselves since
they're simplified.
They're doing quite well.
Yeah, I mean they're just using their mechanics like they're shitting on people which is
fine.
There's nothing wrong with that at all.
That works for them.
That works for them.
So who am I to say anything?
Macro just felt very, uh, very like there are holes.
There are clear holes that if they're, uh, here's what I think is going to happen.
A good team, a top team in the world, if they match up against Casey,
will run traps against them.
And when those doulas get punished, what's plan B is also really good on it.
That's all.
Were you at all surprised by KC banning Abast in the Vito?
No, I mean, we were really about to Vito to be honest, and we were expecting even the
sunset pick obviously here.
As you can see, we didn't have a lot of reps on this map.
The Nairate is the only plan.
I mean, just need to reset and go next.
It's the best of five, double Vito.
It's part of the process.
So we just need to be able to reset and go to the next map.
That's it.
team. We're going to have to
have a little bit of time. As
Coach Lauren said, we think
that team liquid would
definitely expecting to have
to face off with Casey on
sunset. But at least that map
is now out of the way. Meanwhile
for Casey, they'll be very
pleased to have one on the
scoreboard because team
liquid are a team that can
definitely mentally reset.
Remember they have got those
team talks from nuts that are
going to be happening right
now behind the stage here at
that we were looking out for. 23 and 9 Omen. They were 6-1 down Petra, and then it felt like maybe
Casey had a few wobbles and allowed Team Liquid to go after him. Winter, thank you, Winter won.
Yeah, the beginning of the game Team Liquid was not playing very well, the duelists were very
quiet, Purple had a very very rough start, the 5th in a word, yeah, and when they were
starting to winning rounds it's actually also because they got a lot of one-on-one
against KC. There was no trade potential there and they took advantage of it.
Do you think that perhaps Team Liquid paid a little bit scared?
Like that pro activity we'd expect from their defense sides to kick you off?
No, I actually don't think so. They tried and I just got out aimed or there was not enough utility to get a peek.
I don't think it was an issue that they were scared.
Oh well, they should have been scared at times because Dosia was on fire this game.
What an absolute start from him. He was saying to Kukuka about the fact that this arena he is
thriving in right now and just so many highlights from this one. Yeah 100% it's been incredible to
watch but just to touch on that first half I think a lot of the times Tim Likwood was struggling
to begin with because of the space that Noret was creating on the chamber as well but yeah
Dosia I think has been having such a great performance as well. It's nice to see him
really this was nice talk up the environment that we hear we have here in
Barcelona on this round it's great to see it's great to see as well because he came
over to VCT EMEA after a quiet year on boom Eastwood in Pacific we didn't know
if he was gonna have this performance in him this is his first time playing on
a massive stage like I said was the counter for chamber he can suppress
vulnerable chamber to not to be honorable mentioning his shield and
He gets the opportunity to play against
See what you're saying
It's more recognizing where the chamber is and no it doesn't mean
You're saying just to push him back. I so can just one be one of them. I mean, yeah, that is true
But if the chamber TP's away and your shield is up
You know what I mean, like as the vulnerable comes you just see these
Yeah, you push them back, but
Is that so good for all the other situations as well that you end up in minus pushing back to chamber?
in this loose calling star and they're obviously all very prepared to take this moment by
But I the momentum gonna continue for them as we head on to our next map of a set because we know that this is gonna be a
Fantastic map for team liquid as I said earlier the reset has happened behind that stage
It's probably gonna be a closer score line than what we saw on sunset. Yeah, it could work. It's as I'm not saying you're wrong
It could work. I'm just thinking like
Like if you end up in a passage like so let's put ISO on defense
I mean the vulnerable is really good to stop like the player droning in right very very powerful in that sense
Or if they want to do five-man pops, which is a very clear thing that teams are doing now
It's a very common strap these five-man pops abyss is a map where you five-man pop a or b
Sunset is a map where it's similar to that where you five-man pop be
So in that sense, you might be right. Iso could be very, very good for a lot of these teams for the vulnerable specifically.
Honestly, the wall is very good for retakes as well if you want to play retake.
Just cancel out one entire angle for like three seconds.
Pretty nice.
Or just to create some sort of space as you're running in.
If you're like retaking a on sunset from short, you can throw a wall at dice.
wall at dice, um dice boxes as you're running in and you're clear left, those kinds of things.
So yeah, ISO could be good.
Just don't know if there's any ISO uh specialists out there.
I haven't seen it since the second week.
No, not a bad idea though.
Regular season.
A lot of time.
KO could be great, but I mean it's it's rarely double enish.
That's why I think the guy mentioned uh a second another duelist.
I can take care of it.
I can take care of it.
I believe it was Giant X that they played against.
So that is a good point though actually.
I still could be really really good. So I'm thinking of the scenarios and it could be valid or it is valid
have a very quiet first map.
So I think that's the head to
head of the two players that
we're kind of looking at to
see how do they bounce back
from that, especially when we
consider 11. You know, we had
already mentioned that he is
one of those players that
one of the stakes are high
and we get into these kind of
moments where you can bottle
it. He has tended to bottle it
in the past, and we don't
want to see that because
let's not forget this trophy
is on the line. It would be
the first trophy for Casey to
lift other than the
the line. It would be the first trophy for KC to lift other than a kickoff but
when we're thinking about actual stage one stage two this would be the first
one for them to lift. This is the first roadshow that we have here in Barcelona
would be quite the statement to make. Yeah this is the moment to show up
because actually all of the doing is we're pretty quiet except for the right
on the jember of course but yeah it's the time. It really is the time.
Perplow is going to be looking to redeem himself. Redemption is a word we've used
time and time again here on the desk. Perplow not having a solid
showing against 30 sports yesterday at all but he's going to be taking out the
jet again we'd expect nothing less from him and hopefully we can expect a lot
more today Billy. Yeah 100% no changes from either side so very much what we
expected coming in from Casey and Team Liquid and yeah definitely expecting
Porta up that performance you know he has mentioned that maybe he was only
playing at 30% the other day but this is a grand final you need to be playing
at 100% you need to be playing as though you want to lift that trophy
for team liquid with this being their map like these people to claw back into it starting on the attack though look towards calm on purple
Take that main now. We have a map. They actually practice. This is their map, right?
This is tea liquid map to get that ultimate online is going to be really great to be we can have a game
That speech was a good
I think it's probably us because they do well. I expect you to listen. Like last time I've seen them playing on lesson
Okay guys, let me make it very clear. That was not our method. This is
the game style and it's gonna be super interesting. Yeah for sure. I think starting on this defense for KC side is how much priority did they put over the mid space of the map?
We know the team like what are going to be fighting for those extremities, so I want to see Casey
Is this internet shit or is it mine? It's got to be yours other areas of the map that they maybe haven't been occupying and have lost control
You think paper is gonna change roster slash player if they lose chance all depends on the vibes of the team
And what's going on and what their problems are?
I can't speculate if there are issues that they feel they can't fix then yeah, of course
Or if a player wants to go somewhere else, then yeah, of course
Place forward for team liquid because that was certainly a stumble on Sun said they got back in the game
You are the problem
Yeah, I think they will have known coming into today that whatever that first in their blog
They said they had their first argument in game when you come up from the law practice
Well, a lot of the time that too is where the series truly begins especially for the team that had to rise the KC
They got the job done. There's nothing worse than having all that advantage and then losing that first map and feeling like
He's thrown everything away
By the way now we get the Phoenix battle. We get pop on the jet, which I always think is
His best place straight up a rush
I'm all liquid. They're gonna kick things off. I'm a rush double their cat though already taking it
The double our cats interesting. I was in that a bit
I bet it was definitely the standout
For Casey when they last played this a long time ago, but he ain't a nine the 22nd of July
Don't know they don't know case he don't know they're in
He's got to get that kill I'm gonna be honest. He's got to get that kill
This double lurk is fucked by the way
Such a good post plant position here. They go for the doorbreak at best case scenario they kill kicks
They are never looking for now it's here after closing the door. This is such a ratty late-round position to have
Oh he's done God's work. He's done God's work here.
What an interesting strat that worked perfectly. How is Camo able to walk into the A bomb site
This casually
After they made as much noise a man as they did
I'm going to wait for you to die and then try and kill them.
You think I'm going to die?
You think I'm going to die?
That's what this is?
Kicks?
Well, we talked about over on Sunset, first half defense.
He was the one that got him back into the game
with a lot of big plays.
Tracks was alongside him in the moments
that started to turn the ship a little bit.
There's a rage stack there because of how easy it was
the last round.
In the pistol, a leg up and a half of Luxury Day
didn't have over on Sunset.
much can they build from here the two rifles it's only really purple and tracks
that can afford to go down in this round and said one thing we've noted about
liquid is oh he heard that good be okay maybe you heard that go be a lot of the
time he's able to go for that Phoenix pick up arrays of the purple I think that
comfort truly comes through on jet something he's been playing all the way
back to the beginning of this game I'm playing it well unfortunately for Abbas
I think he might be dead here I could start to dodge the paranoia but dodging
the entire force of liquid will be a different story all together purple
of the
brothers and son
of the one shot is the
U.S. cannot go for it,
the
first U.S.
Tracks farm that up. We're gonna fight for one all but I think that's something that casey
It gets really gonna have to take now do they rush on the bonus or not probably not right they go for the order
Yeah, going for the silver or silver or payment has four rifles becomes terrifying
Molly those orbs right like if you're going to fight one side of the map will fighting both is not usually a very good play
You'll run into a lot of attackers and they have all day
They used a decent amount of UTL to take it, but they took it.
So simple.
Just so simple.
No B pressure the entire round.
Take a main control.
Actually, he might have thrown a cage.
Good jump.
Really good jump.
There's money and now it's a 2v2.
Gotta be careful.
Ah, the big flank already wins it, I think.
I think the big flank just wins the round.
This guy's just gonna make hella noise.
Yeah, round over. No way.
No way, so you guess he doesn't absolutely destroy them here.
Good job I have that as though to make the noise.
Watching for that player to make his move knows exactly where one is, but doesn't want to allow them to group up first
Great bonus
Survival for KC is not very simple strap taking a control insert one walk cap
It cats cats split with the so ball if this so vault came a little bit sooner
Maybe they do a better job. The timing of it, I'm not a fan of. The best draft is good.
Why don't you ask your guests to join you on the watch party? I don't know what you mean by your guests. Like, a guest?
I like watch party alone. That's literally why that's it
No longer having alts to play with and
Okay, see we're looking for some big entry
They're expecting reaggression on the other side and you can understand why
There's weaknesses
One of them being that judge, which is now just gonna post up on the edge of this PC utility
Those who of course could TP past it, but he has no idea what's on the other side
Doesn't want to give the sound feel away
Rune the surprise, but it doesn't look like anyone will be coming in his direction
Ruse on short with the reveal of an over, but they're much approaching up as a little slowly locally
The trade is there good flash from Camo
It's a back into a 4v3. Snaps lurk has already won the road. Shipping away now
look at this lurk up by Nats great position completely unexpected
they know this Omen's an A player can be pushed away
deep on A so they know they've lost no chance no there's a player there he's gonna use his
smokes as a tunnel holy smokes everywhere with the judge needs to get close and close he's gotten
right up in the corner oh no yeah oh fuck 12 seconds left they've gotta go fast they've
got a retrieve and recover and flee six seconds and a spike has to be yeah but
don't you can't do anything about it three HP he's given them a chance but it
might have to be to get to yeah bring this one I never mind don't you saw me
under the radar good position on the smoke they're just gonna lay it out I
think the bomb just went down there plenty of time kicks the only one in
their way and he's been in their way many times so far with that time
I'll have liquid throwing this one away. What a smoke.
Yep, making him make the play.
That is that last...
This Dawgs9 guy, the way he played the rest of the last 30 seconds, isn't saying.
That is criminal what he just did.
They had taken full control of the A site. They had left him stuck in a corner doing this but then staying alive is crazy
Drops the spike
He just catches Cabo completely off guard
That is a hero play to you shooting on them place
It completely saved Casey's half as well
I'm not surprised an immediate response with the pause
and
the state's basic level
and the
end of the design of the day had an image is ruined everything
into the lead and it's not that there's been no one alongside it but there's no
one that can stand nearly as tall as he has so far. I mean look what's so fine it's just a crazy round of moves.
It's still chillin. They have ults coming up too.
I see one of this guy on their side like in the the streak where boom were
unstoppable their 5-0 stage he was looking like one of the best players
in all of Pacific obviously the fall-off probably hit quite well just
as hard but the fact is probably means they got him for a better price.
Okay, there's some beef finally some beef fights
Fortunately they have to deal with a silver cypher here wait
That's a very clean kill
to clean
The big Omen although
Every round he's winning every round for them. They had to be psyched
They literally had the B site. If it's not for results, they lose the B site.
for KC, the lead back in their hands, and look no further than the man on your screen as to why.
It's genuinely getting to a point where he might as well just play with the jump the entire time,
because again, he's on the right place at the right time.
The player is jumping in to try and clear, but he's just quick enough to make that move.
That's better than it is here.
How does the obvious die like that though?
This is so bad, D.
Big ults here.
Sova's ready to ults.
Outside D main.
They're trying to kill this guy.
Okay.
Big ults.
That's hard now
Still no a main control no be main control there's a trip admin
So so difficult to win this round for liquid some no space
This is gotta be a miracle here somewhere
They could fake B with a sova drone and the Phoenix ult up mid to B.
See if Perpo hadn't walked up cat right now and they faked this, I think he would have
gotten a kill for sure.
rotate
I think this right here if purple had stayed on cats if he had stayed off angled on catwalk
Like anywhere in this area. He would have killed that guy rotating away. I think
Off of the beefy
And you could have given this option to come this team an option to come back in
the
last round is not straight through the next
all four players on Calo's been found to respond
to sell some hope that are not
, so to the likely to be thrown into the wind and said they'll send him to take some space to know that is a big
right down and now this surround looks a bit more tempting rifles recovered and
all be used to run it back up yo this guy's okay this guy's doing the thing
when an omen starts feeling it okay this is recovered the round either way
camo would around for you
pick up the pieces it looks like liquid of stabilized I'll be honest I'm not
really sure how most of that happened there was chaos with camo finding a
double to get to clean entry into winning that round. Another very difficult round for liquid
win that's why that's why this fell apart the fucking Glock killed by Nats
right like does your TP back in ava sticks around to try to cover them with the
span and the confidence of four rounds in a row I guess it's understandable as
to why but an Oda thrifty will be claimed on the other side as team
liquid crumble in that big by-round that needs to get a 1-8 does the outside did
really well there obviously camel getting that kill on the inside the smoke on
narrate is what starts it back that's a little jit 50-50 if that goes if that goes
near its way the runs over like right there instantly they all just get mowed
down with the full purchase purple onto the operator the same 11 and it's a
similar scenario to the last back. Casey maybe in the leaves at 11.
Lost her though, you know what?
The demand that even going back, what do you think needs to happen for bigger crowd?
He's a guy who could literally run it down on an attack side half.
What do you what?
What do you mean by what needs to happen?
The second half or the vice versa and bring all the boys back.
I think they're winning not so much of a problem.
All the old gen back.
Bring the game we love back.
I'm telling you yesterday I found out the game is gone
They're done with this guy's judge the fucking over it
What a great ult.
I
The operator forward to the next round for KC
Disappointing when giving this one up the rate taking down very early. We'll find themselves equalizer. How does the cat player die there?
It feels like some of the earlier fights like I I know how does nine died
And I know how nary died. How did aves die?
Those spots that they've been winning rounds from but that's a couple now in a row where camo has been able to be a bit
Cheeky around the edge of the smokes basically wait for some of those initial pieces of aggression
And then off the back of the off the Hunters fury made it
Yeah, she did and the drone made it all too easy to clear out that second player
And maybe those punished pushes or what it's gonna be the conversation of the KC pause
Take some time maybe slow down a little bit because it's also worth talking about that
We mentioned in the last map and after obviously liquid don't play
That they've always been better on the defensive side now. I think that does bring a little bit more true on this one
We look back to that put victory and even though it was a 13a it was a 10 chat just proving that valorant fans
Don't deserve crowds. Well most of chat
You know chats like only like 30 people talking right then
Leading the way back through on the retake like they are very good at that side of the map and okay
When you're sat there for two in the lead, that's not really a problem now at 4-4
And I'm starting to get to the point my go okay liquid get five or six rounds on this attack
I think they'll be fairly happy with that. Yeah, very much so I do think that for KC
The solution is relatively simple like you said it tightening up some of the gameplay right you get it shortened the lease slightly
most most of the people that are like in the viewer category are normal
running a well-drilled team running that
Why is Fnash such a jerk now?
Newsflash brother, I've been a dickhead my entire life.
I just love making fun of you idiots.
It makes me happy.
Oh, man.
Ah, again, I said the camera was getting a little bit cheeky this time. He's the one that gets punished for it.
Hoping to try and bring back disadvantage, puts them further into one.
to one. Nassau has connected the shot. Use of that overdrives. They look to try and clear
space and close around. Was actually cleared out by the stinger. Wait, Winnable. No. Wait,
Winnable. Nass, Nass, Nass, Nass. Winnable. He needs a couple more and they're just
looking to try and defuse this in front of his nose. Ah, I didn't know that.
He's landing anything through that smoke and the rate will defuse. Don't feel the hold.
And KC. I didn't see that first shot, man. I wasn't gonna chop.
Wow. Actually, wow.
That is nice. Now that's right there is a nice shot.
B-split. B-split without taking any A main control. Any ults? No ults. Besides Cypher.
Standard B-split, but the rotate is fucking latest shit. At least these two are playing
passive. See once you have this built market control you can kind of do anything in the
round. You can go back and forth if you want. Because these guys are constantly under pressure.
Wow, good old. Good hold. Not having a Paranoia on this exact. You basically get fucked like
that every time. I think you need a Paranoia going through this way. Or it's just
jeez if you don't have a paranoia I think it's way better to go through stairs
I'd almost love to see that round from Dozier's perspective genuinely was the second that he
hit the TP and started to disappear three people just died and he's like oh great glad I used my
help for that no point cancelling it now he paranoia
I'm gonna be a cookie cutter round for me
Only being surrounded paranoia slowing once again, but he's still so gets it might give them a little bit extra
He's been denied by the smoke. I think they know they're slowly being surrounded paranoia slowing once again, but he just
So fuck we're looking at a hunter's fury for kc most likely it was in the those next two rounds
The fuck is that who's he playing for 64?
I I agree I completely what the fuck was that?
What?
He's probably a bit embarrassed.
Where did they get it, T1?
I was like, rotate in.
Like, you need help with that?
Buy back up the liquid.
Okay, good re-take on the AMN.
Push them back, but these guys are walking E.
It's not always going to be his day, but...
I mean, this is a lot of space they took.
You can insert one person.
It's been minimal.
It's been Camo.
Camo has been the guy to watch when it comes to liquid
and having chances in these rounds.
rounds you mentioned his prior performance I don't think he's gone
anywhere it's more so been bring back Wayne's
I shot that's all the smoke's gone
wow oh wow that was the covering fire that was to allow Levin to retreat now
what and they've taken another kill because of it again the amount of
Just save. Unwinnable. Okay. I think he knows Nats is on the left side, no? Wait, they didn't see Nats?
the
list of the ship
of terrible half of the bill of the center of the distance
they won three rounds in a row
, this is definitely a confidence build of 11 and they
pass crazy
that is such a sad way to die
the final shot that goes straight through the smoke
the men on 11 it was just our points
75
running back online for either side of the back of me
definitely more of a problem for liquids
Oh, they're actually just rushing B. Okay. They got out.
Oh my God.
Why did I think that was going to go way better for Liquid once they got out?
any answers the most what they've done is a lick of damage and in return 11 is just
behind them they're cut off from two different angles
over cover the spike that's about all of the advantages that they will claim as
they are completely boxed in or observe the show is both positions on the flank
covered and there seems to be no way forward either it's almost feeling like
just running into the blender hoping to get something done
Frank's at least getting one but it needs to be absolutely everything
and exactly where he is he's got the spike and his back at least
it's slightly better odds than the last time he was in this scenario but
Casey not giving him anything but from a 4-4 score and they have
managed to turn back into a 4-in-a-row Casey
a map up in this series 8-4 up in this hall
It is looking bleak right now for Liquid.
Well that's with Liquid taking the pistol as well.
This is their choice, but right now,
in this battle, it's like...
On the other side, it seems like they don't think
before executing these pushes.
Well, it's a rush.
There's no need to, like,
take something when you're rushing, right?
It's literally just a B rush.
I think that part is fine, but...
When you don't have, like, a late lurk
or you don't get the entries,
you're essentially stuck.
You have to go back and go clear something else.
But they were cut off by Levin anyway.
I was asking him if he had any surprises with and what he thought about how the Grand Final was going so far.
He thinks that some of the players are really not turning up about that.
At the end of the day, Ascend is very defense sided so probably they can still bring it back.
I think we want a final that leads us to a lot of maps and a 3-0 doesn't hit us at all.
But who wants to win this final?
I think they're going to kill me here. I want to win here.
Who is going to win now?
I want to win to Karmin because I think they have won since the beginning of Valorant and I would like to see them win here in Barcelona, even though I know the enemy territory, but I know them, I'm doing well and good luck.
That is all that we have for you today.
We'll see you on the other side.
Ciao, ciao, grazie.
Grazie, chicos.
Ciao.
What do I want to tell you?
I took a little look around the stadium.
The Spanish team looked so basic.
Are they saving strats for champs?
No sharpies to our top two teams.
Just dry sightings.
Okay, well, if you look at the context of that half,
Liquid lost a 4v2 to Dosia
That they should never lose like that is an incredible like round from that guy
Right, and that would have changed the entire trajectory of how that will have one
Like liquid probably would have gotten six sixes half minimum if they wouldn't that round signing things
And outside of that they were taking mains correctly it was and there was very little mid control
But there was a lot of main control at least I don't even think it was that badly played to tell you the truth
Here we go again
Treks full retake which is
W a pistol that could kick stats has cut them off in middle. Oh man has a
Besides all one that could send KC into a 2-0 lead with three chances to claim the trophy here in Barcelona
Well for now at least it's not I'm optimistic about liquids position here
But is he gonna catch the timing? Oh boy, they're going tiles. I thought they were gonna go be now. I'm scared. Oh
shit
They're gonna come triple-swing you
He gets his he actually still got his
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Good fucking kill and he
Oh my god, if he won that
If you want that
It was necessary that's what it was and liquid find it just about
No, she's delivered so many big rounds to KC
Not just on this map
It's fucked that Nats got one on that's on that like mid kind of retake tiles recent
Oh
That's annoying that's actually annoying
I'm getting very worried about this round that was on one HP, but tracks is not exactly healthy
Um, the rates also managed to I can get weird for sure pick up a Marshall. These two are stuck in the B bomb site
At least one of these players that would be an instinct this could end it
Yeah, this is gonna end up in a retake a and this guy has them cut off towards this A site kicks is
Not in the worst position, but they're gonna be a little bit further
No fucking shot it's over the rounds hard and it's too hard now they're cut off
Wait, there's got full Glocky code, maybe some of the biggest blunders they'll ever look to make
The rate is still in the back line
That's still alive, but he's going to catch tracks looking the wrong way
It'll be all up to that if Levin gets this kill as well
I'm starting to think of the going down to one he activated God mode
He should have been dead five times over
Well done by marriage
Well fucking done good position
Good job staying alive and spawned on whole time too. That is a disgusting round to win
I'm actually sick
That is, that is, that is a crime. You should be, you should be dead.
You should be minimum five-year solitary confinement for that.
That cannot happen. That cannot happen.
Well, that's how the last round should have gone for Liquid, so...
Now it's actually hard.
Liquid isn't really about to get three out.
And it's not like it's being that close, only reason Levin slowed down was he stunned himself
and let the rate go in for the Orbs.
They trade out an outlaw, for another rifle carried forward.
They're at 1 away from Phoenix ult so these guys are going to do A main control, maybe
into an A pop as well.
They usually say it's what fades last but...
It still might be.
It's early days, and I'm not seeing it anymore.
mid one smoke and they look when I bought money and they just walk up cat casually walk up cat
they didn't go for the orb surprising oh they did they did get he did get the orb for free
um this is huge info
A lot of players now pushing up, but they don't even have a guy looking at it. Yeah, wrap this shit up
This is embarrassing walking to the A site
Still just patiently waiting by your call to smoke in hand. That's at least something
They continue this push forward players waiting on the other side. That's a big trade though
And he gets bomb and goes back give them further. Have as this all of it or be sorry saving grace
but even still
Will he be cut off now the HP is so far in there not coming up
But if I've learned anything from the last couple of rounds,
it's that that's irrelevant.
Now, after what level did I know HP is low, but positioning now,
uh, so I guess positioning is what matters.
And the time that they waste to be fair, not that much.
So you do it.
You could blow out.
We closed the door for him too.
And purple hears that.
So he's going to run right into this guy has to kill him.
purple has to get this. The only thing going for kicks right now is that he has sort of
a timing. He can easily diffuse here. He didn't hard clear it. He did not fucking hard clear
it looks to execute kicks where he stands but halfway already isolating a fight
kicked in his best
a great drive
but not quite good enough
kc on l11
you can consider that one a bonus as well there that was some of the extra
weaponry that they had that was around the
What why why is Trek's not looking at a heaven there?
Do you think they're all cat a Phoenix just altered out a mate?
Doses laughing about the fact he forgot to buy smoke a smoke in this round
And while the vibes from one side of the stage to the other couldn't be any more different
I mean they got fucking eco guys they got lucky good
They don't deserve to win this map. They got fucking Glock E. They had it. They literally had it
They they couldn't make this comeback eight four down. They went pistol everything's great
They got Glock E.
They've been block eco'd and that 4v2 I am telling you on attack side.
That 4v2 ruined it.
Like that would have ruined KC.
to go forward that back but there's nothing left in front of him when he's
the case he had lost that round that money their money was gone
time on sentinels way was forced into that primary jewelless role and it looked
like a nightmare genuinely it looked like it could even be like maybe not the
end but a very long way back to the top picked up by kasey zero and five
so both strikes saw that he could still be a
very important piece of the puzzle through the playoffs through stage two
he's been one of if not the best player and well maybe some of the others you
dog you are also on his team I think avas has to be in the running
mmm kicks has all been in they are up against the liquid defense that again
we would be popping when they could work but day before they're running this
lower bracket it's been almost unstoppable and they all didn't break the trip didn't break the trip
and you look at the buy it's good all the liquid they're having to gamble and you know what that's
not bad damage at least from tracks yeah two players tied to half it's certainly gonna help out
especially those sheriffs and plenty of attacks to the body you have to catch him first 11 straight
under the head of Nats oh well done though he's done well he's done very well in fact they
They get a little bit more on his way. No a bad start. That's all quick TP through from Doja though
And he's back in main a staff Wow
notice
Too late
Another sneak TP from Doja and it's map point for KC
The biggest if it loses that people you're gonna be absolutely fear of it because he is just waiting for that space
He's waiting for them to be looking the other way and it's just not enough time like you can see the detective reaction
Yeah, no clue that that guy could be behind another good map from the element downs in a row
Dozier MVP of the last nine. They've won eight the only one they lost is the pistol
And sure we talk about team liquid loving a low bracket run
I think they're gonna need a best of five low bracket run three at a row. Well, that's it
Yeah, when elimination is on the line, they'd lock in well
They'll be in that position at every map for the rest of this year artist split never fails
Why are the alts always so late
The second time I've seen the same strap and the same thing happens
are you you're supposed to all with the strap that's why it works
regardless of the odds they still have a chance well we saw this from that so the
end of the first half in the first map was having one of those rounds where he
almost just runs at them knowing that the skill is there I would be a crime
for him to even get one. Thank God.
gone really nice idea 2v4 you just decide to break into a site you know you're
up against an even fight and then they have a retake of the same numbers if
they're in 2-2 so I like the idea right send the ruse see if those you can make
the hero play and then you set yourself up for success with a free plant
without that pressure that that 2v1 when your buddy's planting unfortunately
does he goes down there's no safe port anymore liquid answer back but it
definitely feels like it is too light
they need six more in a row and so far you know individual performances on kc
he's so clean then you know we talked about ades last time on this map i think it was like 28 kills
something ridiculous he was dropping bombs like 28 and 9 28 and 9 exactly and thank you and then on
the other side like in this game it's a completely different side of the coin everyone's showing up
Yeah, it was him in 11 11 being 25 and 12 who
Had a very quiet star that has been a little miscage
That's okay ever since and unfortunately for purple. Well, I think he got a one here for sure, right?
Oh, yeah, good dirt
He is having a horrible day at the office
And unfortunately, it's the most packed to that it's ever been
in the NBA on that Barcelona stage the trophy we're going to go cat this guy's
going to lurk shining down below the cheese ringing out every crazy if you
rush garden was seen with like to pinch the guy's garden with a wall to silence
them throughout the majority of this map now they need six rounds in a row
of the
weights of the ice
OK
are you fucking kidding me
And both of them end up falling. Hicks now stands alone. 12. It's just let them cross, dude
Who gives a shit let them cross
We have a guy a we literally have a guy at a
And they do it even better 13 7 about 1 13 6 about 2 and they now get three
Chances to close out this series a team that has looked unstoppable since the coaching change
But either way there's another man to hear from the leader of
GEEZUS!
11!
For me, we didn't win the last two maps, this new map is just a complete new game for us, we're not going to focus on the last maps, it's going to be a complete new game.
Why do you think only Valor fans and people involved in Valorant have the
doomer mentality of the game is about to die for the past two years when the
new trainers next year change this I think it's just become I don't know how
other communities are when it comes to like oh do people say this game is dead
that game is dead often for like their main games I think it might just be
normal discourse that like people say that about their games I don't I don't
I don't think it matters all that much it's a very what you guys need to
realize is that it's a very small minority. The loud but small minority that have those
kinds of opinions and voice them, which is fine. They can have that opinion. Like if they
actually think the game is dying, who's to say otherwise. But there is too much money
being put into the game year after year. And the game has gained enough of an audience
where it won't just die, do you know what I mean?
I think if that were happening,
it would be clear in a significant decline in viewership.
And I don't think that has happened.
Not just viewership, but just in general,
the interest of the game.
But I will say something needs to be done about ranked.
I think that that part on a more competitive note,
I don't think anyone can argue about ranked.
The ranked system in this game needs help.
But outside of that,
when it comes to the actual people players
on stage competing, I think that it's fine.
Everything's fine there.
I don't know, people saying it's dying in that sense
is a little crazy.
What changes do you want in ranked?
I want them to allow a third party organizer to run like 10 man games for the higher tier
players in ranked.
And then on top of all of that, the amount of cheating that I've seen, I literally had
a cheater detected the other day.
people cheating, the wind trading, all of these things, maybe it can be fixed, but more
importantly than all of that is the rewards for me. And I'm not saying that for me, but
I'm saying rewards would really help. I think it would really incentivize being good and
ranked for a lot of people that put a lot of work into being good and ranked. But I
really don't even know what they can do about that wind trading. I guess nothing
it besides monitor people more and ban people more.
Yeah, the no rewards, it's not really a fan of, I think, keeping constantly giving a gun
buddy at the end of every act and it looks the same as every other gun buddy.
It seems a little silly to me.
I think you got to have like, I think a third of, you know what's funny is like a third party organizer would fix all of this.
That's what's actually funny.
If you, they just allowed third party organizers to give out the rewards themselves, they would do it.
But it just doesn't happen.
Bruno Hatrick.
Dude, I thought the arsenal game was today. I was freaking out and then I realized because I was like fuck I might have to walk.
I have to miss loud versus MIBR, but um, or sorry, no, I wouldn't have to, right?
Because it would be 3pm my time actually, nevermind, or 2pm.
So we're good.
It's not hard anyway.
As in, as an ascendant slash immortal, there should be an AI system that detects lucky-ass diamonds that get matched in my lobby,
Active communicators and match them together constantly reviewing toxicity reports and get rid of those who throw games after a silly argument or disagree
It's just so impossible to track a lot of what you just said. That's the issue like if you had admins constantly on
Then sure, but when is that ever gonna happen?
Right, I'm not expecting that that level of perfection in ranked to where they will just ban anyone
we don't like. But I just think third party organizers would just that's if
you're a third party organizer and you allow if you're allowed to fix the system
yourself that's all that's your only job that you can fully focus on the ranked
system and it would be easy easier than having riot devs having to ban people
and do all of that on top of all the other shit they're doing, whatever it is.
I think third-party organizers would change this game for the better. I really, truly,
will always believe that. And I've seen evidence of it in CS, right? I played CS
way longer than I played Valorant. So, I could tell you that third-party organizers fix these issues.
but not true you your CS players brains are melted from CS matchmaking oh CS
matchmaking is terrible but ranked CS was never a thing I'm talking about
FPL and rank s ESCA I'm talking about those things I'm not talking about
fucking matchmaking. That shit is AIDS. Genuine guy, thank you for the five gifts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah, like face it and like I don't think I don't think players who are trying to take it seriously
even play matchmaking, by the way. They literally just play it face it or before that it was the SCA.
Genuine guy, thank you for the 10 gifts. Thank you, man.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Face it is worse than Valor. What do you mean? Try elaborating.
What the fuck do you mean by that? Like how bad is FaceIt right now? Because I don't remember
it being bad? Is it bad right now? Full of cheaters. People don't care as you're saying
anything. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe FaceIt is bad now, right? I haven't played, so I don't know.
But I'm talking about the experiences I had a while back when FaceIt was good,
and ESCA before that.
This is terrible.
They didn't let Tarek use rewards for ProCity, which would have kept things good.
Honestly, just pairing commerce with other commerce would fix it.
And I mean, they already record everything in voice slash text chats.
So it should be an easy implement.
It's about someone monitoring that to begin with though, no?
like actual employees locked in doing their jobs.
So I don't even know if it's even a thing that they can do.
Maybe they can, but...
Right, themselves need to create a separate department for this.
If they don't want a third-party organizers,
that's, I agree with that completely.
I think there has to be a team
that's completely focused on the ranked system itself.
I don't know. It might be.
Who knows? I don't know.
Each problem is game game is toxic players being toxic in languages other than English
I would I'd be done. I wouldn't even care if somebody that wasn't that was like yelling at me and like fucking spanish or some shit
People have been rage hacking in 3000 plus elas for months straight and haven't been banned
There's a lot of problems. Let's just say that. We can all agree that there's a lot of issues with the rank system, and I think that is my biggest problem with Valorant in general.
I think it stunts the growth of not just the game, but the players and a lot of aspiring players that want to do this professionally. It stunts that growth.
And yeah, but whatever, I mean, it's been that way for a long time and hopefully at
some point they do take it very seriously or have a third party organizer come in and
do it for them.
And it would be very good
Sorry to have very good crossfires
At least start with rewards if you're not gonna fix the other issues at least start with new rewards
You know, it's crazy if the new rewards were
skins
Or you get a like a free if you get like fucking top 10 or something
In rank that month you get
Let's say you get the next bundle that comes out you basically have like a free pass to get it
You don't have to spend money on it or something even that's better
Like even that's better like a coupon. Give them a fucking coupon
Even that's legit better. Oh
Yeah, give them VP true
Instead of
Just this gun buddy. I think it's very easy to implement rewards that aren't tangible and things would still be better
And I think that that's it's crazy that this game has developed to the way the amount it has how big it's gotten and we still don't have that I think that is
That to me is my like if right now if I was sitting in front of a right exec
I would literally just
It's insane to me. There is no justification for it. It's insane to me that
That we that that that that these players don't get that
Five years into the game six years into the game
That's why you should go to Shanghai
You think bro you think I'm gonna change the trajectory of ranked Valorant
is the chamber I think the chamber extremely underrated this matter I think
that it suits the play style of KC out of your mind this matter because the
operator is so powerful when there are such low utility I think that they're
absurd I only attack side with that fight be the change you want in the
world yo facts actually let's fucking do this let's do this yeah and there
it's played the gender is the scariest part I think all of the parts
of KC are incredibly scary right now I mean their performance at dose here
having for example incredibly consistent from map to map we know as you say what
narration do on that chamber and Levin as well I think he's going to be
absolutely devastating to Team Liquid they need to be able to slow KC down they
need to be able to win that map control the fights that we're going to be seeing
in those early rounds I imagine. Yeah and I think it's time for an at speech
like this is the moment they're about to lose this best of five they're up
against a monstrous task of taking down KC's Lotus which nobody has been
be able to do an EMEA so far so it's time for Nats to do get into his mode, talk to the
boys and kind of lift them up in this moment.
Katra, how do you feel about the comp that Team Liquid is bringing to the fight on Lotus?
I don't think it's surprising.
It's the same comp, right?
They haven't changed anything.
No change at all.
But yeah, again, Jets, how much value has Jett, the purple and Jett can be pretty
good if he plays a little bit more than 30%.
So let's see how that works out.
The key thing on the defense for Liquid is they start ramping up as soon as Prepe gets that Operator.
But before then, if they can't get that economy, they don't have too much utility to explore on 5-combat.
So I think it's going to be a good try to get some of this early round.
There's no problem.
Watch what I do here in this map.
I will bring us back.
It's going to be an incredibly interesting start as well, because we're going to see Team Liquid starting on the defense side.
So they're in agents, they're comfortable on.
They're in a half, hopefully, they will be comfortable on.
There are no excuses now for Team Liquid.
Carmine Corps, if they win on Lotus, it's 3-0.
It's done.
They are raising the trophy here at the Olympic arena
in Barcelona and they're looking unstoppable.
Yeah.
Kasey, you look like they've forgotten how to move.
Oh, I guess.
Let me tell you, they were all too familiar with
at the start of the year.
A turnaround.
We're watching next.
And this would be the cherry on top of an already
very sweet cake KC looking to three zero the finals here in Barcelona to dominate
the last EMEA event of this era
they put themselves in a perfect position all that stands in their way is
a wounded look at the liquids we've spoken about their lower bracket runs but
their lower bracket runs isn't she fucking adorable they are not in the
Do you only wear fetish shirts, bro?
Your name is...
Pujin is my dad now.
I could be sitting here naked right now and you'd be so happy.
They have an advantage.
Let's kill him.
Kill them all!
Keep pushing!
Keep pushing, Camel!
come on. I don't care, keep pushing, let's go boys!
Play with balls!
1-0!
Fatigue Liquid, the Pistol Securer!
That important stop.
We've seen Liquid on the defensive side of this map.
Showed some real magic of their own.
Think it back to the first time they ran over FNC earlier in the season.
I have more trophies...
I got more trophies in one year, the first year of the game,
than these guys have ever gotten.
I
Did something that for sure their opponents are gonna know we're coming I
Also think that KC increase volume happy
It's all in the attack side of this app after their victory versus foot was dominant
The first time
In the early part of the half liquid actually haven't wanted which hasn't been happening so far. It's good
If they get lucky go to get them actually just not watching this game. I'm going to I'm not actually gonna disconnect
I'm reading someone else. They got it
Those shows come in
Marshall in hand to try to even the odds of it alongside the headhunter. There's a nasty setup if you ran into it
But
You can see tracks a bit too wise for that
All right guys, thank you for all the gifted subs. I appreciate all of you. Thanks for
everything. It's been a pleasure. I just don't want to watch this anymore. I want to keep
it real with you guys. Pure honesty. This is just not going to work for you.
his way through but he loses to the classic again that weapon in his nemesis
look at the HP of the rate he's also on one it's happened again and well there's
nowhere left for Cabo to go with the pistol lose the second liquid but living
in a nightmare
Dozier's domination is something that has to be studied it'll be a vaudeville
hand won't be so happy to look back through was it the but like he's
for countering how do you count to the stuff that he's doing
country with the parcel the right jumping right click I mean
go let's go move you guys on the right a team like KC a team who we've seen be
kept down by the rigidity and the vibes and now we've seen them how they
thrive under the right conditions well momentum and motivation
Culminating for KC is a fight for the lead here and it is a fight
Tracks has a gun. This is winnable the rifles claimed one and left out as to 8 HP that as far as this round goes
That's a very good fight for them two weapons in the hands of liquid
damage favoring
Parade the main broadcast lose around I don't want to put anyone through this back up try and make something from it
still more weaponary favor to the other side but still a couple of guns in the
hands of this squad they're kind of gambling what they're doing is sending
the two pistol players to go together on the seaside and then have a rifle they
got ego to gun obviously it leaves a lot of openings they actually got a good
again they did actually go waiting for this to come back online reveal the
This Viper lurked E, they can open door and go back to B if they want to.
Wait, Trex is here though.
This is a god lurk.
And that's the run.
That's gotta be the run.
Wait. Wait, he has breakable as well.
I mean, this is a good flammer. Everyone's just flanking, bro.
Oh, you heard that, right? Round over. What a TP.
Oh, wow they got it back
Everything is back
of the
OK if they get you to get an actually reading some of the program for the
where they lost so much control in the beginning of last yeah they had enough
weapons saved from the last round that when you win yourself a second you
actually didn't know this guy's cross by into the afternook
this paranoia ready to plan save Cali what's the shit okay now we're talking
we've seen these now we're speaking our language what enables
And he has Razel, her next round.
Rippo free kill.
Yup.
Can you watch the Red Bull CSGO documentary if this map isn't good?
What is it about?
Like what's the storyline?
You start this map out map three it has to be your bounce back your reverse sweep
And you lose that it's not CS go yeah fucking shit
But liquid they didn't count themselves out. They doubled down major history. I see and they bounce back
three to one
If there is hope in this series, it's hope that they've given themselves with those last few rounds
safely fighting C here they do that fate here if he did raise has all of a with
just the ult alone they have a trippy yeah yeah yeah that's a night that's
just that's just nice gotta give it to nary it's only known perpo
it's safe to say that it has not been his day so far but you gotta try and
forget about those first two maps my list like the best of three you won
yesterday three maps in a row but that opener definitely makes things more
interesting the fact that he gets that info they're not mount and they don't
have seeds wow they're actually gonna get locked
blocky code but it's not blocks it's just narrating the law well done I love
this reposition by him I didn't I didn't okay I didn't want him to go into
I just loved his reposition.
Okay, round over.
Round over, right?
Oh.
Shit.
Oh shit, oh fucking shit. I mean that is beautiful work
Wow
Having to save the day
Wow
A million different angles that he needed to check but he chose the right one both times
Casey have won a round out of nothing
Let's hear from them going into this round
Shot yo camo's actually feeling it
We're gonna walk back in
Really really really good parlor from trucks
Well, they know they're be
I don't know about using the second one, but first one was good
They can't go be
Yeah, Raze Alt already stops this, this whole strap.
Honestly, they'll take that. KC will take that.
Oh, everyone's here. The Leaven! Holy fuck!
This guy's insane!
Recovers the round for his team, dodges paranoia and shits on that guy, just insta wins the
around by himself. Their trade bets a lot of info, these just
to take a they wanted
only going to be even better
he's being so annoying man all the
attention's on him right now his team can just walk into
the kill live live live
I think he thought he was getting flanked by Levin
Didn't make a damn sight of difference 11 doubles back. He's gonna catch purple
Honestly, whenable whenable to be to here to liquid
Very few advantages
They started with two rifles and they end it with that as well big info big info here. He needs one though
He needs one man the jump will have spotted out Nats for
the
one I use another when they show to begin and they may even just use the night for the
one, but that time surely is too far go to this stage and Abbas is there to beat this
counterpart IGL. KC.
Sorry thinking it's your one. Will you also be going on vacation like Salmon Shanks?
What are you doing? Where am I going brother?
I fight, I fight every day to not go out.
We started to believe, we started to pick up that pace, that momentum, and now, the belief in the reverse sweep is challenged as the lead slips out of your hands.
KC, find themselves back in the game. The wind in their sails at times, we look at those, we look at Levin, but the right amount of put up big numbers.
You leave it all out there and that's why we respect you. Thank you, OQ. Thank you. It's good to stay at home.
It's nice. It's nice and it's cheap
When you go out you have to spend money
And that goes against everything in my blood
Just say you don't like going out
So we be honest. I'm completely honest with you. I just don't have friends
So who am I gonna go out with?
Loan Wolf touch it, you know what I mean?
Yeah, your friends are on Stella Montis bro, I haven't heard that in f***ing been that map name in forever
We gotta let it go, Okie. The game's dead.
It's like Valorant. The game's gone, guys.
It's Arc Raiders isn't what it used to be, and neither is Valorant.
Just speaking of the game being gone, I instantly see a guy with an Odin in his hands.
multiple rounds in this series already but every time it seems to be converted to nothing and
on this map in particular
they built up a prowess on that defensive side and they've got to be careful not to go looking
you know the players on the other side you know that both avas and sagetsu could turn this in
their favor and although they are down they've got plenty of time to play with
Do you like casters? Yeah, they're chill. I think casting in this game isn't bad by any means. It's pretty decent
My brain just like when I'm like what watching watching like when I'm really locked in
Obviously, this isn't one of those cases
Then like I focus much less on the casting
Like something and that's something crazy happens, you know, like a crazy 1d4 or something
Otherwise, I don't notice it too much
Why is this a winnable round right now?
Why is this winnable though?
Oh, Trex is done well.
Trex is done very well not to take that fight.
FPX to get to wins that.
that they could find and operate to perhaps the...
Every single one of them having...
Of course only the games is gone.
Consider he was caught out by the nightfall as well.
Another high impact round from kick to kick.
This is clean, huh?
I think Nats has been doing an excellent job.
We've heard some of the motivational speeches at times.
You see them in the trailers, we hear them in the listen-ins at times.
And I think for him, it has to help
help that when you find that one round you hear a very different vibe in the arena
three in a row for KC big a fight here oh nary got out though they don't know
they don't know they're not aware
that's a nice opening from the right though wow just sneaks across for fun
without a gun how does a fade now as did a fade I not hit him did someone
break it did we not throw a fade I
We did it. Are we fucked?
Wow, what a great hard clear. If you're gonna check it, check it.
didn't know time with that one and of course the rates got very little downside to going
out of this round. He's happy that even I'm lurking up late and I'd assume, planting
them down, he could just go to C main, take himself a rifle and bolster down that economy,
but he's a man with orbs on his mind.
Is there a reason Trex didn't throw a fade-eye at it?
trying to save these two from B rifles through course because that's what
allowed nary to get that entry self and that's is in trouble looks like they're
far enough away from danger not over hunting in this moment for KC again
had a piece or two he freaked out already due to those back and forth but
this would be the interesting thing for me is that again we talk about
liquids aggression and the fact that they've been able to ride her seems on
defensive side almost play it like an attack it feels like every trap set up
that they have that is planned it's just a player ready for it like Nats trying
to swing with his team out of the paranoia they're watching for it a TP away
from kicks they're ready for it KC have looked like the better team throughout
this series thus far and the usual suspects the guys we expect to have big
Games and have done through the law bracket run
Have a no fade out again, so they just don't fade out the star of the world
I don't think it's even in question
Yeah, it has been tough to where they have the deep line, but I'm just saying in general
They don't this guy doesn't okay everyone. There was a later role, but we know where his ceiling is and we haven't seen him hit it
For more than a round or two
I think if his team is fighting 4A at the start of the round, he should throw it every
time.
Unless he's like they're tethernating or something, but maybe he wants to keep it in
the
city
of the
city
of
the
city
of
the
city
of
the
Wow, the Alton. Good job. Good patience there. And they were all together.
It's one of those rounds for KC that I look at and think would like that looks like they have an off on the right
It looks like for his position
But for how they're playing the round I expect him to be risked as it was against him to be where he was
That's the normal round for them where the right has the off and he's looking for a thing
It's a good defense up all things considerate. It's a good defense up
Team liquid come out ahead in two fights across the map and from that stage your hands are already tied
They'll give you whatever site you want so sure we'll take the 5v3 retake
Here is that operator you talked about
Try and get a little bit more cheeky isn't one on the other side for
Purple how are you trying to clean this the balls on you?
And also a double stack up out towards me. They're patient waiting for the push to come through
And once again that double jewel is just found them a double-man advantage
Jesus everyone just got one bullet in this round all dry fights every single fight was a dry fight
towards the end of the half. Team Liquid have found their way back into this game.
Purpo has woken up as well. That's a great pick for him. It felt like looking at the last round,
he often the right hand would be the difference maker and it is denying right out the gates
by a man that has otherwise been missing.
Yeah, I think him and Kamo at times have been, especially on the defensive side of this map,
this factor factor that can just run away with things they get confident they get
more overconfidence by KC I think there's kind of a line on there it's up to
like open up rounds for them which is fine
purple got so lucky bleeding there
he said committing the committing the art committee create space with the
horn to find wow that's his tilted
plan out he is fucking tilted dying like that
uh his opponent the right in position for long enough this flank just has to win
the round i guess
um how
knows it he's running this one down on time but that orb has not made it as far
as he had hoped there is a big gap and can't start it in.
I mean, does he get out of the alt there? I mean he doesn't know how far deep they are in the alt.
Right, so I mean I don't mind it but I think the alt being up is his only chance of winning this.
had his critics there's no doubt about it that he is performing out of this world and another
man who's out of this world yeah kicks getting to there is crazy
They do not fuck with KC at all.
They absolutely don't fuck with Casey at all, actually.
Now I see why it's been quiet.
Well, if Liquid win this pistol, I think they have it.
Attack slide?
We're going to show everyone the best synchronization we have ever done.
Let's make an hour.
We started in that...
A lot of fucking people here though, eh?
Like a lot of people.
Uuuuuhhhhhh...
Up Barcelona!
Up Barcelona!
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Uuuuuhhh...
I am incredible!
Once more!
I'm going to get back!
Here's the caster that was saying Burr for the Neonult. Really? This is him? No shot.
Actually...
Okay, I did not know that.
That was pretty chill.
17 and 5. Kicks wants this, man.
Still, Mary's gonna be hard to get past on defense.
Okay, early fight for C to give up on that is the one way they're assuming that's KC
is full fighting for it.
Good assumption.
Oh god.
Oh boy.
Oh god.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
the
end of the split purpose gotten in
still winnable
unless camel can get anything done and he's gotten one
They go this way, he has to get one.
I make treks. Oh, shit.
Ultimate outplay.
Wow, look at these extremity players and how much, uh, how patient they are.
I love this run, uh, so you get some in DOS9.
It's just so well done. That is a beautifully constructed reset. I'm not really sure how Liquid could have won this.
This is well done. Both Dozia and Sugetsu just took their sweet ass time on the extremities.
On chamber the rate in general the rate in chamber in general those are both terrifying statistics
But here on this bet he is delivering again and again. He has so many opportunities
We know Casey ain't getting any good. We know that much in your face and get out whether the fight goes his way or not
Liquid unfortunately, they're running into a fucking just sat there waiting only one though
It's only gonna be the one and thumb, but it's not exactly the upgrade they were hoping for.
Nax tries to make it work.
Molly's deadly.
She's warming the site.
Look at her try and jump right in and close things out quick.
Yeah, I know.
There was no world.
Weaponry retrieved.
Seven, seven.
But now Liquid have themselves a buy.
Again, getting past this Nared off or whatever he has, whatever rifle he has.
They're gonna have to burn a lot of Utah just to push him back.
And that's what's annoying. They're gonna have less util for the execs. They just got a Wendy's gun fighters narrate somehow
Neon sets up narrate them just leaves and they over stack C in the mid-round
They have chamber trip B and a Viper while they're
Oh, Neon is staying though. Neon is staying with the chamber.
Kinda cool though, because if they do walk back to E,
chamber goes for his one kill and then TP's away, they kind of assume he's the only one there so they kind of overlook the Neon.
It's a gamble, but it's good.
Wow, they're walking into three men's seat setup. Apparently, I'm Molly.
just behind into the side they go wow thankfully that I hit good clean exit
I thought they were gonna get tether molly flashed and just get fucked
but the duel's got the kills but that's exactly the sort of round the liquid needed
A nice clean push in towards the side.
Nobody lost just yet.
Well you need to look no further than the crowd to ask if you still believe the team like we can do this.
From the first kill they erupted.
And as I said as a player, when those moments happen, you find yourself down.
The thing that can save so many teams is hearing that eruption, feeding off that energy.
How good are Astralis very?
11 will go down.
Very good.
The pursuit of some more orbs damaged her.
Well in the end, just a forfeit.
8 to 7 to the lead.
You think map 4?
Just a forfeit
Eight to seven to lead you think map four
It depends on the entries. I mean liquid has not been that great this series ever covering rounds, so
Feel like they need these entries. I feel like if they go down a man, it always looks shaky
And the mid round.
Big A fight here.
That's a big entry.
Andy Olson.
Oh my god, he's going to get it.
Honestly they got the kill on the side so it's okay, Leaven's here.
Oh wow, that's the round when he killed.
It'll be left to get to with the spike down
No real control and also no reason for the liquid players to go fighting
Unreadable I keep you. I'm sorry just look at how they're playing this
Unreadable
Actually, I'm one of them
Regardless of which one we're talking about the kicks couldn't get out of there
Unfortunately, so get to a little too quick on the trigger
But now the other two can play this together in fact a chance perhaps just gets you to isolate them
He swings down, but not...
He lands the kill, he...
That was to get soon?
Oh, that's pretty hard.
9 to 7, now Team Liquid with a little bit of...
They're outside the site, and this guy just can't even ever defuse, just gets banned.
And a tie-down called by KC.
That kill is so big, though.
That Camo kill on Chamber is so big.
That distance, likely to extend.
I feel like the KC pauses have been effective so far when they've been needed.
You can truly hear the crowd behind them, but it's definitely been a much quieter performance so far.
I know what they do. I know what Casey does here. They move the chamber to see...
They move the chamber to see with the B-trip.
They play heavy ice.
I am like four times just now. Sorry.
This was made to late round performance is something we're used to seeing okay. Where's its liquid when this map?
It's over you're saying look what's in a cup burger sweet. He's taking a backseat
I mean, I don't know maybe because he's having a bad game six and eight
Best it's not the worst
But he's got teammates like camo 16 and 10 like purple 11 and 10, you know doing all the heavy lifting
I forgot to mention kicks is 28. Yeah, that one's kind of yeah
So how committed liquid already on to this A side of the map
I think he is gonna find out ball five here
Expecting to give up this ground traps behind
Catch those push up catch those flags
It will be mostly
Unruh, but the rotations from Casey. They're ahead of the car
OK. Saved. Actually saved.
That could have been really bad.
I think Nairage continues to play C though. Overall.
I
Continue to play with the utmost confidence. He's now catching kicks which again considering our forehead
He's playing B
Shows the maybe he just bought time for others to come online and maybe they're reflexive
The liquid we have seen throughout the entirety of the lower bracket the team that almost needs to be with backs against the wall
Wait, this is a straight-up C rush?
Nice shot
Oh, they're gonna die one by one, aren't they? Lick was gonna die one by one
He actually got the bomb down flawlessly there
Camo!
Oh my god, Natsun really gets bought too.
Oh, see it's banned.
Wow.
Camo's him.
Camo's actually him.
Then he gets both the water players.
That is an insane shot though, like insanely fast at least.
What a trip Nuts, what a trip.
What a game he's had, Camel.
Or what a half actually is what I ship, sir.
entry for narrate just doesn't matter he's taken over Camo legit just took over
these last few rounds from Camo it looked like a shopkeeper everything it
gives you he makes you pay a hefty price for it in effect did they find the
opening again. No rate. Opening ghouls getting out. Does Liquid play Summit? They do. They
must, right? That's how it kicks off. And then Camo comes steaming back through. Taking
every advantage that KC had claimed and millifying it. They own Fnatic on it. Did I watch that
game? Was that the Fnatic game I watched? When they were down by a lot and then came
back on was it was a liquid they came back all day that came back against them
needing an overtime no nevermind it was a steep slope for team liquid to mount
oh that was heretics close to reaching something was heretics or so I've been
the story of this squad it was like a moment you stop believing is when they
Pause too late unfortunately five rounds in a row is crazy on defense to get this would
be a hard choke.
It's good though. We may actually have a series here
Because if they are good on summit like you guys say they are
Then
This could go back on
They're okay on summit
I guess he has a good summit too, let's see, we'll have a game, at least it's not 3-0 though, that shit would be lame.
Wow, another entry, unanswered.
That's game
But we know where they're taking from as well that's too hard in these sort of moments way too hard
Those who does have paranoia, but I don't think it matters all that much
Big trouble and it's caught him.
Three, quickly, but the killer has a kick.
Trackster as well.
GG.
And Serif back.
Don't just save so many rounds for KC, but this one.
Jesus.
What a run of rounds they went on.
Liquid will not lift.
How about stage two?
What an insane run of rounds.
Camel, insane.
Kicks on defense and Camel on attack.
Just full carry.
Stage two of this three base.
3-1 barely common, 3-0 it's happened at that, the 3-2 reverse sweep in EMEA stage 2 does not happen
but we spoke about this week this squad, when they're backs against the game
Havin is probably facing Bestcastles in the run for CL
that's where they start hitting the team
Havin is a good stuff, I don't care
and KC may have thought that they had a walk in the park to the finish
of the
six first bloods
12 total
His attack side was unreal. Honestly his defense side was really good too to be fair because I remember he got the kills at B and the B round and then also the A shut down. He kept killing nobody on the A fights.
So you need to tell me what clicked on map 3 that was not there on map 1 and 2?
I think we're not focused enough and right now after we've lost those two maps we just decided that they...
I mean there is nothing to lose already there are two maps away, there's one map away from winning the trophy.
We just said we're going to fight, we're going to fight for hours, we're going to fight for the stage while we are here.
We're just going to do it and that's it.
Keep fighting then.
This guy could lurk into Area 51 by the way. Yeah probably. I put money on that.
I think it's a chemie!
Two blue queues!
Yes!
Father chemie!
Where chemie is?
That is your first ace!
My second ace.
I mean, in the NBA second, but I have 6k to go here.
6k?
8 farms.
8 farms!
Yeah.
I'm gonna go for the first ace.
I'm gonna go for the second ace.
I'm gonna go for the second ace.
I'm gonna go for the second ace.
I'm gonna go for the second ace.
I'm gonna go for the second ace.
yeah well you have better you have you have better results than me i had six k before
ace you're good my friend well you're actually you know how to play the game
i thought i was playing with a bunch of fucking crumbs here seems like you're pretty decent
bro yeah you're pretty decent
i looked to my left and i looked to my right i don't know any of you guys
I wanted I don't remember last time you guys played a game
crumbs
You guys seem pretty fucking good
Have a break have a kicker wingman world. What wants in a well won't break
Come on!
Carming Corp, we demand the best. This is what backs us up.
It's the most recent game they've played.
I mean, Summit's always third, they don't get third.
Last time these fucking guys played Summit.
Here we go.
They lost.
No.
They lost.
No set he scares me, you guys know this shit scares me.
This better be a different call.
Other team also no sensei? Wait, so what is Nery playing? What would Nery be playing?
Excuse me
Feelings, I see
You said you'd watch the hundred years documentary you take it easy man
I will watch things one time when I want to watch them not when you want me to watch them
Simmer down. Just simmer down.
I got the ceiling.
Come back to me.
I got the ceiling.
Come back to me.
I got the ceiling.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
I got the ceiling.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
I got the ceiling.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come meet some of your favorite players right behind me is a vitality stand and I know for a fact that Birken Yampi will be here joining us eventually and then if you turn around literally you can come and see the fanatic booth here also waiting there's merch you will get to meet some of the players get some signatures
some signatures. It's a game. Look, everybody's already having fun. We're waiting for you.
So, what's the key thing the team needs to do the complete reverse sweep here?
I mean, start shooting back when we start to this map finally.
Let's see what's getting confidence from this map.
This map we play like we usually do.
So, let's see if we can do the same next map.
But I'm confident about it. I'm real confident right now.
The way they play the energy in the server is good.
Let's keep it up.
All right, time for the 100th Thieves documentary.
Maybe, I think the elements of it, I think Camel and Purple decided to come online.
Yeah, I think definitely, I think Kix as well.
Yeah, Kix.
Like, I think there was some...
I think this has been all right today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've had some distance.
I mean, like, it is the players who, like, maybe we don't usually expect, like, Kix
who, you know, has performed quite well.
Yeah, I think it's...
to clinch playoffs, it can't be that one.
What the fuck is it?
How it sounds? I don't want to see how it sounds.
Is the weird world champions one?
Is that the one?
Four maps to five deaths. I think this goes...
I don't know, I don't watch their summits.
This one today definitely popping off on this map.
I think he was doing very good at it.
All right.
2021 champs, so I was actually behind players as well.
Won that one, so we're going to win this one as well.
We're hitting our forum, but also,
this dark thing about the energy.
Oh, we're always used to them.
Obviously, it's nice for the storyline and everything,
the revenge, because they, you know,
prevented us from making it to Santiago and London.
Just trying to go out there with my team,
play some good valor, and have some fun.
That's what these tournaments are for.
I'm sure we're gonna be great.
But what I want to see more for you all,
take together double teams, okay?
Yeah.
More team play, more calling for the double teams,
more calling for each other, okay?
It's really important, all right?
At the end of the day, that's all people care about
is just results to have a trophy
to show like how much of the hard work
that not only my team, but myself have put in.
It's an incredible feeling, it's so rewarding,
and I'm so happy that I did it with my teammates.
The team's flowing, eh?
The team really is flowing.
Everyone playing their best.
Actually, my stomach feels a little bit off, I'm a bit scared to go up the Eiffel Tower
and you know, heights aren't that easy, you know.
I'm so excited, bro.
I haven't been here before as much as this time.
He's been before for Champs Paris.
Yeah, he can't find me.
So how could it be the city I love and find me?
Sure, that's a good point.
I've seen better.
Who out of 10?
I've seen...
You've seen...
I've seen ungrateful.
You haven't seen himself before.
You've seen who?
Yeah.
I was born here, bro.
I've seen it all. Pretty fun experience.
Yeah?
That's it?
500 teams, one more.
Yeah.
If you were to give me a rating, I'd give you a 10.
Because everyone's here, a 10.
But I've always just here, alone, a 3.
Uh, that concludes our Eiffel Tower tour.
I feel like my favorite moments are always just like hanging around the team and just
joking and like, it's not anything specific or too crazy that I remember that I have
a favorite moment of.
I saw a lot of things, you know, like Eiffel Tower, Louvre, stuff like that.
Really solid city, I would say.
Louv is fucking huge by the way. I did not expect it to be as big as it was.
Getting ready for the beautiful content we're about to do.
What's your dream roster looking like? I think they're doing draft. Do you have a dream roster in mind?
I need uh, I mean, I'm not exactly sure who the captains are, but I need God to go on my team.
That's what I need. That's my number one right there. Let's it go.
You need like a week to see it all. That's absurd.
But the 100 Thieves one looks kind of nice.
I saw Martín wearing it, yeah that's me, I didn't play for a hundred years.
Why he got that one, not me.
Being a hundred years old is pretty cool, I'm happy, it's actually cool jersey.
What am I watching right now?
Why do they just have this journey swap?
There's no question about it.
I'm gonna go to teammates.
Just comparing our team at the start of the year versus right now, I feel like
we just really found our own identity.
Just kind of like a curve, like from the start of the year,
I felt like we're just constantly improving.
I think the grind definitely helped us mechanically,
especially for me, I need to play the game,
I need to grind, I can't get stagnant.
We're not there as tourists or they're grind,
that's what we did, we were just playing Valor all day
every day, so helped a lot.
Mmm, liked that, liked that utility.
There he is!
Yeah!
Dang!
Oh
Down jimkin
In the crack room that's funny
He's one floor and I saw you get that insta killer you swung left just white white swung left insta kill them a lot
I was like he's coming back for sure. Yeah, there's no doubt about it
I just can't wait to get on stage and play
We're playing map one ascent, which is it's also exchange to jet map and we're starting defense
You know we're about to take over if you know what I mean.
Going into our first group match against RQ,
that series felt really good. It was a good confidence booster.
Our approach was to be able to control.
A hundred teams versus RQ to kick off the grid
because she's hand-binding his time.
He's just run out of bullets back out of the side.
This is where Austin was reborn.
He's just, you know, stacking boards and not denying anyone
from flanking down the tibetino, turning around,
deleting the bomb and spot the bomb.
And a live cry are very good in these situations.
And put enough to win the map for 100 feet!
Yeah, that's our Q, we keep doing it!
All I can control from a student is a guy who has TP on off, reloads the band, and he's at a 5 HP, out comes the Shorty, and Xbero is tapping away!
That is ridiculous, but Cryo will finally put an end to it, 13 to 5 for 100 feet!
They went undefeated, right? I'm pretty... yeah, they did it, I mean.
They anticipated, I think, our preparation, and Antti was really good.
They're shooting our bodies, they're staring at us, and it honestly was a lot of fun to visit that.
It kind of made me more fired up to win.
Cross the other side of the map, the corner taken,
Tivotino from behind on!
Up against the odds surrounded,
and I think we all know how that story ends.
The players down in the side down of the trap,
from bang the nightmare for BBL.
All on the other side of the map,
nothing to play with, and they will peak him together.
Pinged up is gonna make it all clip it instead.
If he gets spammed behind that box, I'll be surprised.
And now he's so sent.
Tivotino backwards on 40 HP,
just get as he's fading into the mist.
Oh my goodness, this shorty came out for Timidino!
It's moments ago, three players pull from the same angle as Cole!
Rose showed him it was possible, but not this time!
A hundred thieves! Thirteen!
Did you check in and start it? Actually?
Oh my god, Wally! I'm a burger!
We'll resume.
Hopefully, you can turn things around from that early start to this series.
100%. Tim Liquid sticking with the kind of core identity
that they have across the majority of their map pool at this point. For KC though, looks
as though we're not going to see any changes, which honestly I'm kind of glad in a way because
it's like just stick with what you know if you've already built a whole stratbook off
of the composition that you've seen then that's fine. I think for me the concern
thing the last time that we saw KC play this map and I had spoken to Zeiss about
this was some of the bifurwashes. I need your help with translating what artists
are saying. Unfortunately I'm not the right guy. I don't know what he says half
the time for them and how they're working around it because some of the mid
plays I think in particular were really weird they weren't utilized in the Viper
wall even though they had positioned it in a way that they should be yeah I
think in the KCR team that I said map theory is one of their strengths I'm
case he does that chamber they got these reps now because we've seen a
little bit of the maturation of this map across the regions I'm hoping
the KC can use their smarts and that coaching to their advantage well a
quick reminder when we last saw these teams play some it back in the
Groups ages say sure is 13 11 to team liquid liquid winning a whopping seven
defensive rounds
The steal the map so they against each other KC won the map 13 11. Gotcha. They have chamber
Sweet to the trophy. Let's get into summer and see if the team liquid momentum can continue
Well, why are people saying that neither team have senties?
I'll never. I will never ever agree with no Centee on this map, but let's see how it goes.
Let's see how it goes
Either way liquid started on the top so
Five men a
It's a full rush.
Oh, that's a big kill though, before dying.
That is a big kill.
And Levin K keeps the space, so no cave control whatsoever, so they have max util for retake.
Okay, perfect.
Trades go liquid's way.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
to be aware he could be on to be big flank or he's made. Wow. Good close up. Good fucking
close up. Okay, but the thing is they could just get eco'd so I don't trust them.
More look to do the same once again
Off the casey a clean sweet versus a crowd that is firmly against them
Had them silent saying exact thing subnats his masses liquid gave them a reason to leave me there now
Wow was one of the major pieces, but they don't be careful and that's just dead for free
Not a chance they don't kill in there
He gets one
Finally
to witness and certainly to play it's an interesting way around in case you they are just waiting here for this man to come up and
close the door but that's will find himself
before all is said and done they've avoided a few warms falling into his control
for Team Liquid in zone flawless 2 to 0 start
and clean beginnings on Summit
the memory of those first two maps slowly fading
you know that guy still did
that the most embarrassing thing that could happen on this map
would be the first person to die to the door by accident.
Chamber Viper B, Elmer, okay, yeah, like twice by O.
This works the third time.
Which now after his KC prediction,
the crowd will love us for saying.
Yeah.
That's right.
Is this a bottom mid-smoke?
Oh, it's an A-link, or pretty good.
He can constantly fake he's lurking,
and then sometimes he will take that timing.
coming up the liquid leaven already forced out of position and I believe
spotted as well under some serious pressure with Abes also taking proposed
scales out of damage the rotation over the flash I don't say the first blood I
think it might be down or don't do it to him do not do it to him you gotta
save this room there was just one HP no you gotta save you gotta say you
gotta say if you can't win this you have no cave control either even if
you get it you can't win this. I think this is a guaranteed save. I don't even know why
he's doing forward. 3v4 man. It's just the fact that this guy's low. This guy's low.
They have all of this space. They have to take control. It's very, very unlikely you're
retaking that. With no ults. Wow, three times in a row, same strut. What's crazy is how
easily they are coming out of the choke point. It should never ever be that easy. But for
some reason, Casey just is consistently assuming the liquid's gonna go mid. I don't know
this is like an anti-strat or what but KC has played for mid the last two are like
the first round and this round
and they're starting to be even though they have a senty they do have chamber
so they don't really need to start double B
a bonus I can understand why we're seeing such cool this pause I'm looking at the
liquid coaches I don't think they have anything they need to say no not really
right now everything is going their way you've got camo built up towards that
old as you said nothing for him it wasn't terrible though I they had neon
fate in the bond site ready for the hit and then they just didn't trade
wealth like if that if it goes Abez gets one gets straight or like neon
gets one gets traded and then Abez gets the kill I think actually he still
would have gotten run down. But I don't think they should start the 2B. Unless you're Eco
you should never be starting 2B. Or unless you're pushing B main.
He's stuck around in a squad for longer than my drone for the first time I've done this, but they're going to end there, they're guaranteed I'm walking back A.I. and knew it, why stop doing what's working, he's doing it at a different timing.
It got them through the previous, it brought them to 7, and now the reward, a 3-0 shot.
And an eco that they're facing off against, but I'm not in that position.
That's not well there, I didn't think he'd get out of that position.
Good job.
Okay, they've had to use an extra piece of utility to fully get him out of there, but he was the weaker weapon.
That's how it's all of mid. They don't have eyes on B. They gotta assume that chamber's pushed up.
Which means there's gotta be three people at.
After this gun, though, is something you have to try and run from.
I think you have to end B here. I think ending A here is crazy when you don't have any B space.
There's no T-11.
Look at post up on the swing. They swing together and it's leaven again and two tracks!
3 players from the KC squad are gone.
I don't have words.
The blue wall quickly turns to red.
3 people lining up, that's just disgusting.
Still has that gun to play, we could save it into the next round, but he'll have the
credits to rebuy Dossier on the other hand.
Oh, Looney Boy, thank you the prime, thank you.
he's gonna go to the other side of the map while probably right choice that's his name quick work
The narrate ad just has not they haven't even come close to being in the name
That is a crazy decision though for liquid to go A there
like
In that mid-round without like while knowing it's probably an A stack like a liquid should be losing this round
after the bump in the road right off
red they've recovered very nicely found
their footing early on on summit and at
four to zero Josh thank you to the
front of the ones in dire need of an
answer
it's not an a stack if narrate isn't
there maybe the easiest triple kill
I already know what you're saying of
course narrates me that has all of
mid they cleared a name where is
area
also made the way liquid flying high
foreign zero up running away with this one
selects listening to the comms
for the time
this time that's is taking the time
his condition that's built for times in a row
I will drop this, I will drop Scythe Flash, take it man, I'll raise my shot.
He'll shoot it.
Dude, the way they're mid-rounding in this site.
It's just too overwhelming, they can't stop it.
Addas is 1 HP.
Again, impossible retake I feel like.
At least they have team control though.
Now it's definitely over save save you can't win yo
How are they allowed to take this so easily?
How is this choke point so easy? Okay, they had Phoenix up there, so it makes sense
But like can we get some guys to hold a?
They've done the same five-man hit every route
out. Now Nery's gonna rage play, guaranteed. I think Nery's gonna play A to get one kill,
TP away to cave, and the other four are just gonna play here, around here. Distracting and
not dying. And they're gonna play the 5v4 retake, eh.
They've started to feel the tide turn in their favor, the waves washing over the blue wall.
And even with discomfort of the judge having to pause in the middle of a side tape, they
look and say, you're going to go right in front of them.
Why do you sound like you're mad that Liquid's winning?
I'm kind of just blown up.
I commend Liquid's playstyle once they get out of the choke point.
They do a really good job of isolating the fights in the site.
And it's really good, you tell them that all is really good.
I'm just confused about Casey.
And as the stakes continue to raise, they reach the sky.
Well, Team Liquid, they rise to meet them.
Expectations.
Wow.
that they would be dead after map two dead in the water but they're picking up speed 11
we're gonna put a stop to this oh my god one by one with the idea around in that corner
he doesn't have a way out anymore he's gone fight traded the trades man the trades are
insane they're all together they're all together spacing is good enough to trade
no one's getting collided that's implanted i think they're gonna go a for 13 round
Starch hold her on straight. I don't think they're gonna stop doing this. There's no reason to stop doing this
Everyone has taken their turn trying to hold a
So now in HP they have an advantage avers is one or four and
Treks is trying to walk his way back out of there
Trying to join back up with his teammate, but they're both now playing from a passive position
Waiting for them to take the time to clear this site
still having that snake bite available Matt's was looking to buy that I got
shocks after sneaking his way back around just clear these positions look
at his play though it's perfection
The master of his crop! The master of maneuverability!
That sustains them like light falls!
They're not the first to be blindsided by this man!
He was there doing the same thing when his-
Doesn't risk losing any HP, lets them into the site,
walls up and just repositions casually.
He's here for his final chapter, the same old story!
Yes!
We thought it would be Treks, but instead it's Nats to deliver the shock that puts
the 6 to 0 in the lead.
Oh, so he gets his turn.
Oh, no, no, no.
Let's go back, boys.
Let's go back here.
First time they've gotten an entry.
Let's go back here.
That's his first step.
It's not right there.
7-0.
The fact that they've conditioned A this hard, too, they can literally do any
any strap they want, like if they ran in big B,
they would insta-rotate Casey.
They're walking into a 3A setup in a 5E4 with full HP players.
There is no fucking way Liquid can win this round, right?
time with a night call also okay that's not a good start they time it right it
could be perfect but that's a lot of damage already very slanking this has
got to be the round so close to a big bounty that's just they hear the crowd
so they go to turn liquid are completely yep I fucking knew it
And they hear him. They heard him. 12 seconds. He's low.
Oh my goodness. I feel so bad for them. I feel so bad for them.
Oh, I feel so bad.
What have KC learned from their defeat?
The last defeat they took on this map was the Team Liquid.
Let's go! Let's go!
She boos! She boos!
This A shit is too- plus seven rounds in a row, they've walked through A main.
There hasn't even been a lurk A link.
The attack side has gone wild because they have already lost their defensive half this time.
another train and they saw him that's like they're still trying to play be
why would you not rotate still man's this site oh my god oh my god oh my god
okay saved no because I shot eight rounds in a row gone a that's his bro
now it's his like low key out playing himself he's like I mean why would they
even play a player B at this point after the straight.
A again.
A again, they have my parole.
3A main.
Oh, big kill.
trade it again. Oh no, TP. Oh no. Oh my god, no. Narich is a big flank instantly.
Abbas is like, I don't know, I don't know guys, they're running me down. They have four
players it feels like they have eight players with a spike plant inside a pit this round
not quite impossible but difficult indeed already until we fire back if you can find
a pick here they could counter pit they could fight their way back through but that's not
a great option for the right the man stuck with the operator I don't know that someone
will make a very silly mistake and they're out there and the kicks is going to leave
level main loss but that hit remains in that position be next to impossible to clear
spams are about the best you can hope for the round they are gonna save
still trying to fight back into this but it's not
oh time they found in this time ticks away oh they had it at 20 some quite
I mean, Kamma took a flash out. What, are we drunk?
nine runs in a row, it's been a
A again
I'm not sad, oh and they're healing
Wait, how is this going?
Survive somehow took out the man on the other side and we're back to even territory. Oh my god
Yes, honey, I bet that is one the wrong
Well done, okay, this is quite the recovery
Casey all it took was one and they were right back in the game
What's funny is I feel like KC is going to do this exact same thing versus Liquid on
their attack.
I'm not even joking I think they're just going to walk out over and over again.
I mean the good thing and the reason it's working so well is the trades are really good.
The spacing is really good on liquid.
they're trading very very very well.
Well, just look at it, they were 7-0 up, Nats were 7-0.
He's now 7-4.
His early blitz is quieting down.
And his foe of an IGL on the other side, Aves,
who's gone from strength to strength,
he now sits atop the board even while still four rounds
behind, but they needed him to pick up the slack.
Of course, for Liquid, an additional round
would be a massive difference.
But 11th round.
KC at 7.5 half at 7.0 down would have felt like a dream
And they have a very real possibility of making it a reality especially when you look at this by from liquid
This is a team of dreamers after all KC was zero and five and they decided not to change a single player
That sounds like a dream. What wait the all didn't get anyone that came true
for KC
deep play
This is a good turn away though
How is kicks alive right now again and again? He's done so much for his team, but his team didn't scale in time
So there's no trade. They traded that out for site space. You know pulling the player back off site to deal with them
Kicks us allowed his buddies through the spike hasn't made it though. Yeah, now the door closed the cat. Oh boy
Oh, yeah, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Give him a nice little kiss on the cheek before we took him out
Oh my god, they think there it's flank. They don't know he's a link. Yeah, I think that's
just thinks he's like, this guy just has to wait. Yeah. Another 2v2 recovery. So they
What a 2v3 disadvantage in a Viper ult and then they won 2 straight 2v2's.
To in that situation be it doesn't convert to a round in case 11 rounds a navigate go be they have fade be
They're gonna see fade be there like wait now looking what?
Well done recovery this is from my case you know
No, there's no way.
No, they have too much space. KC have way too much space.
Mmm, I still don't think it's gonna happen.
The individual peaks anymore and we don't moving together those on backside swings to the info the double in from car
Seven to five and a half
For a little work for KC for a road for KC if they win pistol here
A workable position they can do that a man that's had to come back over the last few rounds spin leban
And we caught up with him earlier today
Five in a row for this is the same. Yeah, right. You're right
What a funny fucking game plan though.
Actually a hilarious game plan.
Oh my gosh.
How different do you think you are from the player that you were back then?
I mean of course it's still hurting, even though when I made champions I was thinking about it and I cried because I was living to be here, but sometimes I believe also in my life, sometimes you need to lose to learn how to win, I always repeat it, so I'm glad to be here.
Cloud9 is all about that shit.
I will just do my usual things, I'm very proud of myself, so I'll just keep playing.
It's not for C9, you have to lose all the time.
The second part doesn't exist, you just lose, sorry, I don't know what the point of that
was, sorry, lose and learn nothing.
I just think about myself and my teammates, how to help them in-game, also how to help myself, so like there's nothing different big things for me.
I just do my usual things. I believe myself, I believe my teammates. So yeah, that's it.
I also ask you to maintain your composure in these games that you're in a stage.
What time does America start? Five or four?
It doesn't change anything. You have to believe in it, believe in your team, support them all and try to have the same mentality without caring for the opponent.
So I would like to get food and eat and then go live again so Loki I kind of need KC to win this map
I'm gonna be completely real with you
Sorry to say
to get back to even territory and didn't have breakfast let's listen into their
columns this big pistol round
I got a thick castle right now and go beat their genuses.
OK.
Don't you kill a hairdresser.
Clean as fuck.
I.
Sure, what to make of those noises?
But I suppose a late it in victory is KC find
themselves now.
Clean as fuck if they can take nags down
stopping from defusing, and it's an easy task
with an in zone flawless to kick off half number two.
I felt like Liquid were flowing through this map.
seven in a row to be responded on by six it has been a complete tail of two halves
and the half started up to seven rounds a completely flawless pistol to boot
wow that is that is too clean to look up for liquid at one way
Casey found their response while you could hear it from avis he believes that
Liquid are gonna continue to make mistakes this round
Apparently with not much towards it mom
But push up there would have been met by resistance
They've taken the Auburn run
Well, that's not Peter the other direction is certainly being heard
But it won't matter the door claims the lives of all of us this round
They now head into a defensive half which is standard B default. They got Viper holding a I'm holding dead
Yo, yo yo nice shots
Definitely on purpose yeah for sure now comes to Kershura you meant to kill that first guy see if they can at least make this round
of the
base to the prime of the
rest of the former is the more realistic goal but
the white team liquid are playing perhaps not
the left of the side of the play the retake
if they need to simply watching the walk of money
and fighting it that's where the battle is going down
that's where the blood path is
Oh
How is this falling apart this badly?
Puts us even
It puts those kind of for spawn he can be dropped he can be spawn
It's pretty hard, but I mean doesn't he does have smoke he has paranoia he has smoke
So if he's able to get closer to the bomb without dying
Pretty difficult for those are the windows
Okay, this is very hard to do to win this round now.
Well done.
I mean, when you're playing an Omen, feel like you got to kill him as that smoke drops and
into their or or you just fought to be honest
but even still it is terrifying that after this stuff the pathos that this
very nice so good damage though yeah great read by kicks I think just excellent
game sense getting it to half with no resistance so good so good he read that
play to perfection for team liquid that's why they sit eight to seven and purple you
know look at that by this is how bad a scenario we are in currently for team
liquid that they have just won a round and have decided to take this as a low
buy round it'll mean they have a purchase in the next but they're gonna
allow Casey almost to get back up I think all the paranoia would have done
is distract make it seem like he's running into the smoke something and I
think it would have delayed him diffusing the bomb like he would have just kept
tapping it over and over again and that smoke goes away he has to throw another
one down but obviously you didn't have he shouldn't run in with the paranoia
wouldn't do shit
It won't matter.
Enemies on the either side, kept back for a moment, treks by some time, but...
Wait, Liquid is holding this off way better than KC was in the first half.
...and it's ground to player on site as well, a buffer between Kix and his opponent's
backs.
Oh my!
Oh my goodness!
The damage too!
Alright, KC's like, I don't know how they were doing it.
Why can't we hold it like that?
Or why can't we take it like that?
How are they holding the A bomb site?
It took us seven rounds to figure it out.
They didn't even...
We're never doing that shit again.
There's no way that like they played that safe and came out with a round
Casey
They've been left with egg on their face and watch that back and go
They've walked around this kid and fire them beat us anyway
Jesus
Calm down son calm down
Crowd cheer and still for team liquid
the
two of us and realize what happened when
that comes out with the double only surely be default.
Oh, the fire in the office, you know, for sure that
it was everything they had to offer KC
while I actually was thinking that purple was gonna win that
the
late B pop by this is the canal this is all liquid
to get to expect them to push so far they'd be behind him.
Instead, Nats has been able to fall back in time.
The reason they're pushing is they know how much space they've lost.
They expected the push to be coming through mid, maybe with the majority of players.
Now he's realized it might just be the one, but the timing is a little bit...
Oh my God.
Oh my goodness.
Now it's now cleared and then the rate strikes, but he doesn't give a damn about it.
Oh, that is disgusting work for him.
Back for a second bite!
It takes two!
roundy head open and close the round for a scene
he's got the whole thing in his mouth all at once took a three course meal down the hatch
3d piggy
if I'm not sure about that one but all I
clean round as well
clean it up for an in zone flawless and KC find themselves a closing the gap bit by
of the
ice parade to kill him to the reverse
to casual for Mary and a completely different player
said room this guy
It hasn't felt like that for a while Casey have been building momentum and through the
smoke they go but I see it's good info though very very good info it's enough one to escape
again the purchase for the case he just retakes me back on a shotgun which I'll be honest I
think the shotgun has only really been kind to dossier so far I mean he basically
has to stay here the whole round. 50-50. My shots. My shots. How the, what the fuck?
Because those alien guys are just gonna fake. Are you fucked? He's not doing this again.
He did this on a set with one HP.
Honestly, Purple did a really good job of staying alive for as long as he can.
This scary thing is no smoke.
to
To diffuse with the maps they've won he's at an MVP performance
The longer this takes the more obvious this the flank is and now they come in from separated angles
He still has a paranoia still has a smoke to play with
More importantly that time at some point. He's got those smoke somewhere
I think they were waiting for the dart, but he now has the opportunity to slow them down
even further.
They finally grew up together.
He falls back and counts!
Wow.
If he Insta ran behind the wall, he wins this.
Off time alone.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
He went for both kills.
I don't think he gets traded there if he goes immediately run away.
I really don't.
Play that a little bit longer.
It's a very different story.
lucky he didn't kill them both. Second shot came down close. And for Levin as well, looking
back at that round, how he even managed to fight so much, two kills and a super repel.
One alive though. Wicked coaching staff is less happy right now. One alive and they lost
I'm sorry, but yeah, that's not that's not too difficult
I feel like your balance is out
No, I don't think it does
Both coaches unhappy, one coach very unhappy
And now over to the table for comment
I think it's, uh, places table might have a few more complaints, a few more bruises
After this battle
I'm kind of all close, the drone's coming, it's all a ruse
I think that space has been cleared but he's missed the boat
I like that both players are playing through the B-link.
Oh, it's making me nervous.
That's a nice, nice ult.
Very nice ult actually.
So he gets it with a flank.
They'll take that damage though.
Camo dies as an insta-save, yes it.
Oh, Treks can't save.
so broke too that's what's so sad about this they are so
broke
they allowed them to save here
and they have another buy do they buy here then they have three guns
They have two guns and they can bind on a gun.
Do they just full buy?
They have to, right?
Well, they don't have to, but...
They can.
I think Liquid buys here, guys.
It's what he creates for others elsewhere on the map so you get to able to get a fax there because you're so focused in on what this
young explosive dualist
Is doing on the other side. Thank you to the tier one
And for liquid from
That I thought be over in less than 20 minutes
Sure, they're in the lead, but
It has been a constant back and forth that at least looking at the scoreboard
They are now on the wrong end of
And that's the moment that Lohan and Yaltsin...
Risky buy here. If they do choose to buy here.
...get their final chance...
Very, very risky buy.
...chime in and turn the tide of this game.
Else KC will be hoisting that trophy above their heads.
Popsnives. Nats can buy Judge. Sin is all...
7-0 lead and now 10-9. KC have closed the gap...
Liquid have to win this round. Liquid lose this round. This game's over.
...the two guys were on a sliver of health.
Three survives because of the weapon. He's therefore all too slow poured extra strong concrete into a corner
The guy has been delivering in moments where he should be dead
After a quieter series wait
moments in the map
Leavens woken up and for Casey if they put a single like a judge or anything. He just doesn't goes
All I have to do is remember what it felt like to list that's thinking of the prime
matter of rounds away
Facing off against a weak buy, this is their chance to equalize, but it's still a bladestorm for Perpo.
It's an old for Nance, and I am surprised to see N'raite take that chance. He almost pays with his life.
Pressure being placed.
What?
Even gonna use his ultimate almost as a fear factor. I think you knew the pressure goes on the through he goes
But it's Leaven that's quick enough
Again doesn't help his tally, but saves his team a lot of torment
kicks
Is that so many incredible moments? Yeah, but the problem is Casey can mid around like this for example the other way the rotations have all gone to be
does that's all tier does he bike up the cave area yes he does this is a good
old keep this face in this round this is a good round this is a good call this is
actually a very very good play from that's he'll be the only man holding
down cave while the rest look to retake from the mid-side I'm not seeing the
vision but not in the business of questioning that's a bait that
Doesn't work. They are spamming the smoke. They need to realize they should
Ah, Doja has to get one.
But counter-roll is held.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
That is disgusting!
And he's not finished yet!
Okay, that is nice. That's the best round I've seen out of an individual player in
this game.
And what a round to do it
This guy's a thank god yo I whipped so hard
Thank God for Leavens.
Oh, they know.
They know.
Oh, Liquid's done.
I think they would just go.
Honestly though, honestly, okay.
I
That's just gonna try and win a bowl cheeky around the smoke, but they are covering off any
Okay, he's seen them maybe expecting all three of them to be out of this position
But instead those here stands close. He's the one covering off the spike and mark
That's the realization for purple a nice couple of shots for that time
Surely is too far gone
And even if it wasn't
Was there to make sure I think it's game get to 11 I think it's huge
For all the teams have made that switch out of coaching staff hoping
dreaming about a run like this
About a return defense side you're down 11 to 10. You lost all of your ultimates
and
Yeah
Your economy is going so it is a reality. This is your final buy with no ults
to be a
path to the real as the others again ready to ensure
the
town of the must-have to be a mobile
looking for 12
the face off against the full line of the liquid will could be the final stand the judge
the lower bracket demons exercise over the last few rounds
they've had some fight in them on the previous they're still within one they
could be in all of mid they could be push B while they're walking all the way
back around to be chamber says it I mean it is a good call they show their
greatest strength and they face again no one on liquid is taking any space
mid off of that all that a pressure I guess they're prioritizing rotating the
I'm worried about the smiths mode are they faking be walking into a they are they are
setting the pace a question and they are they're gonna they're gonna send me on it and then
is going to alter it seems like that's where the work's gone in but the work
maybe was just let's put levin in good scenarios he has walked through the snake bite
but nats has caught him that was just the ruse though the rest on the other side
holding the line looking to level up and there it um um um if he hit that he hit it anyway
it's over it's over the game's over they didn't rotate though they didn't rotate
back
He took him home
I mean that's just individual brilliance for a narrative well done 5v3 though
5v3 and insta traded by narrates
to be on the first page and the main character of the final chapter of this era of Valorant.
I don't understand what the point of these two fights was though.
Whoever the first two guys to die were, they could just wait it out.
Let me see.
When they have the advantage I'm saying.
But Mary did peek into them.
I get that, but...
They won't give a damn once it's in their hands and liquid need to in a row to stop that from happening here and now
All five players be it's just a straight up be pro and find down two chances
to claim the final
regional event of the year the final of this era
Oh, it's so good by Levin to not just run it down until like his team is ready.
He waited a good three seconds before just rushing at them.
What is this guy talking about chips for?
Damn.
see great attack side there pretty fair that both teams have pretty dog shit
defenses
Well done.
Nice try Nats, it's okay you made a chance, again.
You're still the goat.
Congrats KC though, narrated him on this chamber, I'll give it to him, he used him on this chamber.
As long as his team plays extremely snail-paced, and trade decently, he'll win either round.
What was the point of that game?
What do you mean, what was the point of that game?
For this fucking trunkey, baby!
I want that guy to come in and start dancing again, the solo dancer in the beginning, opening
ceremony.
I want him to just fly out of nowhere and just start fucking killing it.
This seems so far away at the start of the year.
It's a bit of a hit.
To dream of this, you'd be a fool.
But one man believed when nobody else did,
Zeiss took charge of this group of lost boys.
And he has grown them into men.
And so he gets you back in Lifting Trophies.
And the next national stage as our champions,
where the others may have fastened the tier 2 the best of below. They fell to the best of the best in the NBA.
There it looks good on this fucking team. Imagine we had him on chamber on Sentinels long.
I'm gonna say this the whole time. I don't care. At least I'm watching there.
this ship and the man that no one could move when he lifts the trophy.
I'm sure you take the stage, the owner of KC.
A man who's been very vocal about their failures, about how it hasn't been acceptable.
But when they went zero and five, he had a choice.
Scrap the two.
You're in extreme tall Americans?
Yeah.
Let me check.
I think Gary did top right here, yeah?
I mean, this guy had an INSANE first two maps.
Doja?
Honestly, he played well here too to be fair. Three naps were very good for him.
I mean, yeah.
And it's a really good combo in terms of like, Neri can play Duelist if needed,
and they can do the double Duelist, but the fact that he, when he's on chamber,
His team just plays so fucking slowly, and as long as they trade even decently, he'll close out the round for them.
Thing is though, I'ma say it right now, if Casey or Liquid play against Lev, Lev doesn't give a fuck. Have the sight.
We'll just retake it when you have no U2 left.
You know what I mean?
Like they're not getting these picks, the same picks.
Like these teams are giving away picks that Lev would never give up, ever.
Lev is just perma standing through smokes to get their picks and then flooding into
bomb sites and ending the round.
That's gonna be scary.
What to do for two hours now?
Everyone just let's go eat.
Let's go get some fucking grub. Let's go get some food. All right?
I'm not listening to no interviews. Fine.
At this final map, I think that out of all the players in EMEA, you've had the biggest
glow up from last year into this one. So what are your thoughts on your current foreign
versus the one that we saw last year?
I mean, to be honest, like last year was incredible for me, but...
We'll finish the hard fees log when I'm back.
I think we lost our champion's chance and to be honest like it's hurt a lot.
I swear it's a lot like I create so many times so many times because of this I was like remembering
still what I did in the past but I learned how to accept my mistakes so yeah I'm here
I always work I always fight with myself I'm very proud of myself so I'm glad to
to be here with this insane people to be honest they always supported me no matter what even
though I was thinking like
you deserve it
sometimes I was feeling hurt and we're in the wrong guy but I don't know sorry I
guess I'm so sorry for moving my hand I did not realize
I think more than anyone, this kind of result, nothing to say anything, I love my team for
everything, it's not going to be a loss for people, sure.
Hopefully.
I just want Neri to say fuck Sen.
I would legit pay him money.
It would be the funniest thing all time.
I just want to say
Fox Sentinels
Getting I'm joking jokes
We hate watching in my VR today
I'm playing loud
I don't know if I can hate watch but...
Congrats for it, we hit 13k subs, let's fucking go, thank you guys.
W guys, thank you so much.
Very good form right now based on like the hard work. We're doing so it's up to us to like keep it going and keep showing it time and time again
Just winning once doesn't mean you're the best so we just got to keep it going
She has sent your seal
and if they keep it, they will show you that they are the best in the world.
Aves is your turn because now we are going in a row.
What are you doing for you?
IGLing, things not working.
Do you remember what I asked you at the beginning of the day?
What was the name of your first team?
CCG.
Yeah, what does that stand for?
Cairo.
CTGs.
No, CCG.
Yeah, Cairo.
CTGs.
Yeah, I forgot.
So if you were to look back if you if you were to put yourself in the shoes that of that kid that you not that long ago
Were and also Jordan. Thank you for the right brother. I will be getting locked up
Do you think he would say if you saw you like this?
Thank you. I feel very happy like
Thankfully they never asked me that on stage. What was the name your last team twat? Yeah, thank you
I'd be happy. He'd be very proud
What does that stand for?
Together were terrific
and his first team with Egyptian people,
what would you think?
If he saw what he has achieved now,
he would be extremely happy.
He would be very proud of everything he has achieved
because he has been playing the game for a long, long time.
that we saw you in the big stage, you are going to be going out.
So what do you think will be different for the people that haven't seen you in years?
What can they expect from the Sugetsu of 2026?
I mean right now I'm going to the team.
Actually I know about it, you know.
So I'm considering this team and...
Yeah.
Then a few words. Watch me.
Of course, you will watch America's Litteria.
your performance in the first three maps it was something else like two I'm gonna
say three because yeah you did those third one but I don't I forget about that
one but on the first two it really felt like you were like the soul of the team
tell me what is it about this team well at least it felt for us you know what is
it about this team that makes you feel so comfortable and that has given you
the strength to play like that today first of all all of us is the same
players individually and this guy did the main team he put everyone on the same
page and right now I'm feeling like it's all my friends it's my family to be
honest you know I love when people give credit to the coaches like when they they
mention and elaborate on how much the coach has done I feel like it speaks
volumes it really speaks volumes about like what a good coach is capable of
doing to a team at the highest levels like it's something like all these guys
and this goes for a lot of teams there's so much talent on these teams and when
they're able to be on the same page and get comfortable and you see the best
version of those players it's everyone is happy right we get the best version of
every single team that has that kind of coach, it's always great to see.
You're only made chaps. You're also the winner now. What is the limit of this KC team?
Sorry guys, I have a lot of emotions. So I don't think we are that much limit. The only limit is
ourself, you know. Like I can be pretty honest. I swear we lost like this third map only to
to ourselves like I'm sorry to say that but they're not good they were not good
like you know usually I usually I try to stay humble but since I heard in
interview on the beginning of the stage two when they won the first game we
already won the easy like the hardest matchup and like we were just
playing them just after and we destroyed them then we played them I
and on fighter man we get them no chance that's the best revenge for me you
know so since that day I already knew that we are going to storm them
all right talking about gnats like that I can't accept this slander this
team
Well, I lost against them and I can't accept it.
Wait, who got MVP? I'm confused what are we doing. What's happening?
They have carried themselves from the bottom of EMEA all the way to the top car main core.
Does he get a car?
Does the MVP get the car?
And our Moda Grand Finals MVP is...
DOSIA!
Congratulations.
congratulations on your new car sir. enjoy that thing
Mario Kart as far bro what are you doing right now I'm not gonna be allowed
to watch party these games if you guys slander like this this is a hashtag add
brother can you guys please behave like after the qualification game for
champions we had a team talk and I shared with my team that I was also
feeling confident in the game for last few games I was playing mechanically
but I was doing good decision but I was not there I was playing in the my worst
State I would say
And this is the thanks thanks to my team for supporting for believing in me
That's the mighty
They are solid fucking team in terms of like
In terms of mechanics they are solid obviously, they're literally just solid but the thing is
It will see, it will see what happens, it is champs you never know.
If they catch fire on enchamps you never know, just don't know, I just, I don't know, I
just don't know.
L Hater.
I mean, okay, I'll give examples to glaze them a little bit, all right?
On this, okay, let's talk about Summit.
Defaulting A, pressuring A at the start of the round, coming back to B, pressuring B,
like they're not giving up pics mid, letting chamber work, they're playing their comps
correctly.
They allow their chamber to work around the map while they make noise without dying.
When they feel like they can't take a specific part of the map, they go to the other
side of the map. Those things are all good. But they don't, at the same time they don't
have like good traps. They don't have really good alt plays. So those are the problems that
I see with these teams. So do I think they're gonna win the fucking tournament? Champs?
I don't but we'll see because we'll see what happens.
No X factor.
I mean they are playing entirely around their chamber and it has brought them a trophy.
So they will not stop doing that.
I'm just saying if they don't add more things,
teams like Lev, teams like NRG, teams like Nungshim
are gonna run them over like a truck.
But again, we'll see.
Do you think G2 have a chance against Love?
No, I don't.
I think this is a clear cut level win, especially because Lev just lost a game.
There's no fucking way they're losing 2 in a row, they're like mad now and shit.
But it's also map dependent, we'll see what the maps look like.
Every team's X factor will always be their chamber.
If they're playing around their chamber, it's going to be their chamber.
For G2, it's baby bit.
They need him.
They need the chamber to constantly get the one get out, so the retakes are smoother.
On attack side, they need to take their timings, walk around glitch, and the team needs to default
while around the chamber.
That's just all it is.
All right, we're calling a chat.
Who are we raiding?
Who would you guys like to raid today?
I don't want to get bent.
of the
, she's showing any more

Huh, Sliggie's probably getting off.
