Can you hear me?
I'm not going to YouTube. I'm watching on YouTube right now.
It's fixed is what everyone says, until it's just not fixed.
Hey, hey babies, how are you guys?
Yo, we got bangers on bangers.
Can we do this more often?
Well, I went to YouTube. I'm not even on like I'm live on Twitch, obviously, but I'm watching
on YouTube.
Do you want Verde or Sato at Champs? Is it too much to ask for both?
Getting um
Look it's whoever earns it. That's it. If loud can't beat energy. They don't they didn't earn it. All right, at least
It's not that you didn't earn it it's just like you they didn't earn it, you know what I mean?
If if loud beat energy today, I will not be sitting here crying about lab not not making it
Let's put it that way because that'd be a crazy run from them
It would be an insult for me to just disrespect the run like that and be like, oh, I would rather see left here
You know what I mean?
It's that thing of a prime man
You missed the GE stomp. I did. Yeah, see guys the reason I didn't show up yesterday. Just so we're clear is
Simply because there's no six both teams already made champs
There's literally nothing to win play for nothing at all
Stop saying this shit. It's truth. It didn't matter you guys know when the games don't matter. I'm not here
Did you play with the ranked with inspire? No, I was playing, uh, how to fish, whatever the fuck.
Pretty mid game.
Is it crazy to say I don't think you might want to throw this game because
less are allowed to, less, allowed are less of the competition than Lev.
I don't think the competitive nature that is within these players would allow for that to
happen along with competitive integrity that allows these players to continuously play the game and
are blessed enough to get paid to play this game.
Yes, Grand Finals I always watch.
Grand Finals, I'm here all day.
Grand Finals, it's mainly because like the show factor of it.
The performance beforehand, etc. So that I have to be here for Grand Finals, of course.
Grand Finals actually interests me.
The last problems we had against NG...
I don't know, no attacks skipped today.
We were very excited, it was our first time.
Can you hear me?
Hello?
Oh
All right, everyone welcome back to the stage to lower bracket final
It's a best of five showdown between and RG in the hometown squad of loud
And I'm golden boy here currently yelling at you
So basically if loud wind right now they qualify yes, if a loud wind today
Lev had the suhaha music
That's it, loud have created the champs and they've taken love stuff
Follow Brad's I.L.
There you go, there you go, welcome back there.
This is Brazil!
Alright, well, the override thing was inexperienced,
and I hope everyone is good.
You know, they got their override out of their system.
Hey, GB, are you ready for five more games of that level of intensity?
I'm actually down. Very much down.
Alright, well, let's go ahead and dive right into this B05 series.
Now, of course, it's a hard one.
I'm not gonna lie, I got a little depressed when I didn't see you stream, but I'm glad you're here.
Thank you, man. Sorry.
Sorry, I should have warned you guys way in advance. I did say I was gonna show up. So I owe you guys 100
I did say I was gonna be there and I like so it's not actually on me
So you guys will get a hundred get to say we're just gonna do it probably after
Like a map one or map two for the fun. Yes today. So is here
implications here in this lower final Mimi, but I'm Molly Watt
Thank you for the tier one waiting for you on the horizon
And I think it's especially an interesting day for loud obviously they want to win make the finals make champions
But they're sacrificing the other South American that's had so much success to do it if they want to be the
No, I will be real though. Chah the way energy looked yesterday
Scares me a little bit. I know how good they are and we already know that they'll fix their issues
Whatever those were
But and I don't want to overreact when it comes to energy results
But they did get kind of out
And I haven't seen get owned see them get owned like that
Like ever
Like I didn't know how to what what to make of that
It's the hundred these first map haunting them I think you're saying of this
Why would you waste a hundred dollars then watch one BO five
It's not a waste. What do you tell me? Why would that be a waste as well?
Would you rather see leviathan or loud at champs?
Zorak's taking the tier 1.
Thanks, thank you for the tier 1.
Be honest, if you were on the energy roster, would you care if you won or lost today?
Yes, man. I've never gone into a match trying to throw ever. What has happened?
So let's go out. I love Leviton so much sad or neon. What's I think of the tier one me today? I'm going in. I think of the problem
Thank you guys and TK is in spain so hard right now
Everyone in loudest playing well, so I'm going with loud
I mean there you have it right?
The reason we're prime optics are yesterday was enough that's 100 feet of steam is no joke.
You have to be a factor in this team that was for chance, like if you're number one in New York in America.
I'm actually not sure that was a good question.
Someone else in chat who is more knowledgeable answered that question.
Is first seed still like getting a free buy or whatever the fuck or is that how it works? What do we do?
It's on this time. I was gonna say maybe bonkar found his way out into the crowd
Signs out there for energy. There are some believers in the crowd here
But of course, well, here's an important thing note folks because loud and energy they faced off just eight days ago in the upper
Practice testing comps putting Ethan on me on your EWC was also a thrill. I don't know
Yeah, but how did these styles match up when they played last well, I get that
I have no doubts in the coaching or the players on energy. It's just like how
badly they were
getting owned and
it didn't feel like there was any solutions for the first time and
That's a lot of credit for 200 thieves, but we're talking about just energy right now and it's kind of a
It's kind of scary to see that
from there from that team
things like energy lucid they avoid pop up paper X in the group stage at champs
look guys I understand all of the positives of losing for energy they avoid paper X they
fucking have Lev not make it and said loud makes it but bro everyone is fucking good
end of the day every single match is going to be difficult and it's going to
require effort to win they're not looking at it in terms of oh like you
know we're gonna avoid pay I'm just telling you that they're not like this
match it because you have an energy that's playing a lot of solo duals are
playing the jet is playing the sage on the mouse yeah the loud compositions are
especially interesting to me however one thing that you can say maybe is energy
maybe hiding things because it doesn't really matter for them. If they like, you know, win
or lose the stage, it's not as important. Like it might be very important to hide some
of the things that they do have and not show it. That's an acceptable thing. That could
be a thing for like these, these games. But that's about as much as I get. I don't think
they're going into it like, Oh yeah, even if we'd like, let's just lose. But the hiding
Strats obviously that's gonna happen when you when the game doesn't like like the team isn't gonna show their best stuff
In these games when they've already qualified. That's like obvious. I think people
Think that's a cope though people think that's like that's troll that
That's not a thing that teams do
Okay, think about if you were in their shoes and you've already qualified and you have a bunch of things you're working on
Why the fuck would you show it here?
explain that to me
Why would you show the things you've been working on in practice in this match?
That's where I love energies look big pretty much
No one else is buying with the Grimstone on that map really putting the emphasis on those flood retakes on how they're fighting back into space
I devil. Thank you for the primary. Thank you. Thank you
And well in a vacuum. I don't like energy style as much as either the meta or what loud plays
I think for a team that is does a very good job of following through with that initial game when you want to hire see for
Champs to have an easier group essentially
Yeah, I'm not saying they're not trying to win
There's a difference between wanting to hide certain things and wanting to win like they want to win
And they'll do everything in their power to win, but they're not gonna necessarily show everything that they have is what I'm saying
The new things that they've been working on whatever that might be
And I'm not gonna make any excuses. So hopefully today we can come on and fix that
But there's also only one team that has experience playing it with a car that is against them
And that is you guys that is what you were doing the final for camp. So are you ready to do it again? I hope so
Thank you so much
And of course loud here, they're gonna be coming into this one with let's just say the six-man money changed you
It's gonna be that crowd that is behind
People just be saying anything. Yeah, and it's probably like a couple hundred more
You know they're gonna be cheering for you
Yeah, you're right. I'm not one be me
But look the reality is they had every reason to cheer me me because they look brilliant against you too
But what impress me wasn't just how the fans played up to it
But how loud a team that is pretty much all rookie players or at best people coming into their second year
We're playing to the crowd to cuisine standing up given it to them now, but Ryan bow energy news
This is not too sure they're losing.
Nathan's thinking it's your woman.
Thanks to the players.
But my god did Loud take every advantage
in the crowd yesterday.
And put her in it.
And it wasn't like they waited until the series
was wrapped up, and that's when they started playing.
You guys are absolutely ridiculous.
No, it was all played from the beginning.
I don't think you can hear this right now.
Oh, yeah.
The crowd is getting crazy with Loud starting
to warm up and starting their walk.
And that's the reason why they just come out onto stage.
I saw one of the players was putting his arms up
with him already playing into it 15 minutes before we even get into the server.
You know, I remember when Neon debuted, and I always had a lot of great things to talk about this young man
and how cold he was, how calm he was, but then he just scattered the CD, an entire lineup of young players.
Playing with such confidence in gusto out there.
And, Gb, those guys are all in the same generation.
You're welcome, the lead players.
Without putting your foot forward.
Good question.
Okay.
I'll explain it in, like, very simple terms.
Alright, so you're working on a bunch of things in practice, like a bunch of what I mean by new things is like gimmicks things you haven't shown ever right things you've you've come up with in terms of your group your team, you're not showing that you're your coaching staff your team, you're not showing those
But you're still going to default. Well, you're still going to like energy is a defaulty team. They're not a gimmicky like
Run it down
Like they're not going to show their alt combo strats
Right, they're going to do their old stuff the stuff that's worked for them already in the past is
What I'm saying
So all the new things that they've come up with and like say that like the last two weeks to a month
You know ever since they figured out they qualified probably like two weeks ago
Whatever they've been practicing, they're not going to show those things.
It makes no reason.
That doesn't mean the rest of their game is just ass.
Those are the only things they have.
They can still default.
The game is still very defaulty.
Right?
They're going to do those things correctly.
And boss, what is it going to take to take down energy?
I think we are ready for this match because they have practiced a lot in these few months.
They weren't really defaulting well yesterday.
They were.
That's not true.
They were punished on their defaults because 100 Thieves trades were out of this world.
Have a punish.
Their defaulting was fine.
100 Thieves just won a lot of the crucial gunfights in those defaults.
So for example, remember the PaperX sunset while Boost and the Masters were on Fire?
PaperX would show that a match that didn't matter.
Exactly!
That is a great example.
great great example little gimmicks like that that can win you big games right
or big rounds you're not gonna show those things that's obvious that's
obvious you're not gonna I shouldn't even have to explain why you wouldn't
want to show those things that doesn't mean you're not putting your best foot
forward necessarily because you still have 400 other things that you've
practiced all throughout your career that you're gonna use in this match when
you're not playing in the on Phoenix when you don't always have your duelist
Perfectly attached at the hip. It puts a lot of pressure on Mada in these positions
Chill hero, thank you for this year one cheeky fun. Thank you for the prime all the work
Yes, that's thank you the prime look thank you
What agents was he playing because versus loud guys are awesome. Thank you
I'm thinking primarily and then yesterday. He has to lock in the knee on yeah
That's all I'm saying that he has been vocal about not preferring right and throughout this year
It's been a little bit tough for him, especially on the defense side
He went 0 for 7 on defense in that final map
Is this the only game today? Yeah. A lot of it is due to the fact that he has to play a lot of tight close angles
He's getting lower finals best of fun
Where he is more isolated when he's on other roles
It's very different and for him he plays the least amount of me
I'm any other of our primary duelists in the region down to 30% right?
You saw enough he's been playing playing primarily Phoenix and Harbor threat you see and when he's on second entry
It was fucking insane.
It was fucking insane.
Sizzler, thank you for the gift event.
I bet loud winning this.
I don't know, bro.
I just don't know.
Like, obviously, the loud bet is the obvious bet
because their their odds are probably good.
So like, obviously, people think energy is going to win here.
But it's only because it's best to find that I'm saying, I don't know.
Only because it's best to five
You see, it means say that he fucked up by not making up Mary when he had the chance
Also said the meta was the main reason they failed after pick-off
I don't think Mary would have joined that team, right?
He had the chance to pick up Neri, but that implies Neri wanted to join Cloud9.
DeSatter, thank you for the reminder.
But they're not a difference between practicing with Strathen's scrims and practicing with
his actual matches.
No, not when you have like, what would you need the match practice in a specific strat for?
You literally just, you played enough matches, you know how the strat works, you go into server,
you test it, you see it works well, you see that it's a good gimmick or it's a good alt combo.
Why, okay, so why would you, why would you think you need a match to see if it works or not
when you're screaming against the same opponents?
What would be the point of scrims at that point?
The whole point of scrims is the practice.
Energy how could you bet against energy or champs winners, but it's just loud have that crowd buff
I was gonna say this is a crazy one to throw out there
But I was looking at baseball standings earlier today, okay, and there are three teams in the changing roles and trying out different
Conses gotta be a throw they said they'll be testing out roles today home crowd buff. I
Mean look dude. I'm not in their brains. I'm not in the prac room
I don't actually know how much of an effort they're gonna give today. All I am saying is
is they have a bunch of things, like their fundamentals aren't just going to disappear,
right? The things that have gotten them this far aren't just going to disappear. Does it
mean they're throwing? If they're testing a new comp, I think the word test is what gets
to people. It's like, oh, they're testing something, so they don't give a fuck. It's
like, every day you play a match, you are testing things you've practiced. I don't understand
this.
They had to know that this was going to happen here, Ender.
They know they're not going to be liked, but when does that ever stop them when they won
back left hand chance?
They weren't the fan favorites not to start with and now they have a chance where they
win here today to set themselves up to see their first ever domestic title.
They're fighting against this crowd trying to deny loud another day.
CJ taking the prime.
They're still comfortable here.
This gives off a lot of us
I see what you mean, but
I'm about the crowd
Yeah, this crowd is always going to be good.
These crowds are always going to be the best to play in front of, no matter what.
That's one thing I'll give, uh, Brazil.
Guaranteed, greatest crowds that esports has seen.
Listen to this crowd, an ovation like anything I've ever heard in my career.
This is insane.
As the boys in black and green hold the hopes of this region in their hands.
The only Brazilian org left in this competition here in home soil,
looking to make something happen, looking to make magic happen.
Yet again, they defeated the America's champions.
Can you say something controversial?
Yesterday, but the question is, can they all breathe?
Easy to do now, it is.
Very varied and very partisan six man.
Yet, the world champion's steppin' here in Sao Paulo.
Oh my.
Yesterday was already a dream for loud.
They got to wake up and play in front of his friends.
Obviously, don't play matches, but do you think it would occur to energy that they could dodge a team like that?
Yeah, of course. Of course, they've gone over the scenarios. There's no question that's been talked about.
I'm not pretending they're ignorant to that fact.
Those trolls, how's it going to go tomorrow?
Yo, what is with these idiots thinking Chelsea's gonna score three goals on Arsenal, four goals on Arsenal?
Are you guys that delusional?
You could say Chelsea's gonna win and I wouldn't give a shit.
Who's scoring three or four on Arsenal though?
Like be realistic, you want to win 1-0, sure.
This loud squatting, getting ready for maps, I have my eyes on a few.
Number one. Oh, yeah, Haven which will be in the pool
This is the only map that both of these teams are running the neon and the Phoenix
That's an Ethan Phoenix if nothing has changed
Thank you
The other note for me are the maps in which Moda plays the neon sunset Haven summit
All three of those are in the pool
He will have to step up on that agent today artists said that literally
233 after the two shot on him the whole year he was hearing artists is your head still hurt from you and everyone
Yeah, but we get to the back half summit Haven Lotus. I need is not lost on
It still is!
So that was my question to you, is it, how does NRG look to get this win?
How does Loud look to get this win?
Were you one? No.
You're not scoring three on this turn, Arsenal.
I think, if you're saying things like that...
Yeah, I don't even know. Like, I can't have a discussion with you.
and they collapsed. They cannot let that happen today, especially in a VO5.
The critical half to watch on each map is a large attack versus NRG's defense.
One one draw is short. Possible, very possible.
On opposite sides, NRG need to disrupt loud early on.
Let's be real, United slams both our slams, Chelsea.
Rage bait used to be something. Used to be something that you'd like me to look at.
On the retakes use to piss me off
NRG need to play up and defend against that
Blitz attack to get back into a site. Yeah, it's gonna be an absolute relentless slot for short
This is energy also making a bit of a change in their composition. They're bringing in advice
They have something new in these 24 hours for loud. All right, folks
Well, the time for talk is over and the lower bracket final is about to begin
And who better to tell the story of this matchup than uber and why it
I
Here ago
Bloating and neon were Academy prospects dreaming
Stages just like this
Me on graduate
Fucking work
Oh, they said he was they cats are literally so fucking cute it like I just wanna know he can achieve
Honey, you know
He gets the chance to prove it if loud beat energy
They go to champions and let me talk for watch from home
What's the cop?
Yo, so I'm telling you about...
Oh, they have Vyis.
They have Vyis, they're like...
Wow.
Wow, they got shut down.
Holy f**k.
How did that go so well?
This Harbor wall, bro, this character might be the greatest in the game the greatest support utility of all time
There's just no way you have to all run into the bomb site. I'm not even kidding
He gives any of this after a good start to
You guys don't know the scope of how loud this is.
Just five months into the academy and ticker scene might just be on his way to champions.
Pressure on the stage non-fatal.
Like I wish, I wish there was a way I could just make you hear the actual sound we hear.
Or we use to hear.
Moments like this belong to you forever. It doesn't matter. It's so fun outside
Did you see it off to a good start bro? It's so fun joining up
Energy taking the page out of the cheat to play book
Still one get up on towards this B side. They won't get up your root pick not a tool. Wow
But on this a wow
That's annoying. That's actually annoying.
That's annoying because they bought.
They tried to do the 100p's method.
They tried to do the 100p's method.
Wait, very winnable.
Oh, this next kill is everything.
Oh
Silence silence
The round two stinger force buyers have become
Revolence in this meta this accessory for them is high
Wow, he gets two and they still end up losing because the double entry gets out and they still end up losing
That's actually annoying
They've trained by scuba and then staying alive at the end there playing off his teammate still
Yeah, there's energy doing the same strap the same kind of concept where they clove this and then pop. Sorry
Sorry, sorry
and then NRG showed them that there are still levels in this game that loud have yet to come through the cove?
They basically just took everything you ordered these did against them?
Loud only conceded by.
Today I'll see the start at zero though and NRG just has to give us an interview.
No excuses.
This had to be better tonight.
Round of four is...
Just around the corner with NRG put close on the A side of the map.
It isn't quite giving a D-pop but there will be something present.
He's A-split.
for NRG against Laod the last time they played Abyss it was all about the A site
constantly getting plants down over there yo yo yo you just gotta wait scubaans
of killing him wait that's a huge kill man that's a huge huge huge kill and they
have B controlled B pushes held Laod's in a 2-2 right now so if you
do you xx like A they just lose?
Boy he loves it in big trouble right now guys
this is very hard unless he got that spam kill
this is very very very difficult retake with
with no control anywhere
the awareness though
sova is aware
a diffuser. What a kill. Here come the smoke diffuses. Thing is the NRG doesn't allow these
to get diffused. Sorry. Wait why is it not going away? Oh shit. That's fine. Sorry.
where on those A retakes he was just sticking the spike somehow unscathed by G2's spam over and over and over
What NRG have his number here?
Advice is broken on spam. Let's go back. I'm not kidding
NRG no stranger to finding success lifting trophies in a hostile environment
the only america's team to ever lift a trophy against the crowd fully against them and it was their champions win
and quick pause is that tight?
cannot be attacked right?
the retakes are not going to work the same way that they were first g2
they got away with murder first g2
they're not going to be able to just tap and just diffuse the fucking bomb
with nobody spamming
are
up a lot of the loss of the very early on
This is the map scores from the last match up that upper semi
Where NRG take map one massive lead on a big redux. Thank you for the problem. Thank you. Thank you
Bring it all the way back they show they have that resiliency that's a nasty to make a serious comeback happen
You think that they're gonna get the win on map three everyone in the right
LA they all fell too too away from by the air in the room
What NRG completely shut them down? This is
This is an energy snowball into a 9-3 half-cuss, like every other game we watched.
The play that kind of brought him into the fold, the Portuguese connection that found a spot on this team for Davi.
They are gambling, no one's pushed through B and just containing them.
Nisto's soup, they keep it from.
It's a B stack though, so NRG has picked correctly.
possible on this round a ladder still gambling in that east side presence they're gonna have to make the way
So that has to have a hero around
needed to, needed to
Good job getting one but he needed to
That is round to go on, not a chance, NRG does this and it gets up and stands the bomb
Why is every website just dog shit bro?
To the playoffs.
To the scene on this flight what can he do?
Tick tock, got past the shield wall and IG Neuer is coming for that one!
Oh!
We found three!
Another shawling!
Strube's able to fend for himself but now he's in a 1v3!
To the scene my world of death is in the convergent path!
He's on it!
He wants to fight!
Holy f***ing shit!
Oh I mean that is...
...unbelievable!
Wow!
I do not expect a nice use of that round guys.
Holy fuck.
Energy has really good ults though. Really really really good ults.
Be proper, these ults.
I like this though, Yoru and Omen can both get out so they're going for aggro kills.
They got really good ults.
Look at these jiggles now.
Look at that!
Look at that!
Instead of Adam just taking this trade up 1v1, he plays with his teammates there.
Second time Luke shows dad without getting one on a gun round.
picked it up for himself.
They're going to lose to Loud last time who are running the Harbor then on Abyss.
Wow.
The Harbor non-Mirror win rate in the meta right now is crazy in America.
It's 67%.
So it feels like a must pick on Abyss.
Breezes out Abyss's into maps where Harbor is just necessary.
So far Loud's round wins about to a pistol round win and a disgusting
The performance it's so ticketing take
In order to default they just play so so far back so round wings on this very risk of hurt
Everyone ready to trade off each other shows operator
Insert two people be go back to a make noise a
call
Serious the rip here
Somehow loud get punished for that that was their place and they get punished because of how far
back energy are there's just waiting for loud to do anything
another 5v4 into a full five-man exec this time it's be a nut it's gonna be a
lot less company's way you would think unless this is Ethan just happy to send
the wrecking macro wise loud is getting outplayed I can't like maybe scuba then I
can't lie with that steel guard and so far all that's happened is loud one
pistol and then they've won a miracle TKZ in God Raid.
Omenol, that's about it though.
Skuba has Vizal.
When this retake comes in, yeah.
Even with this I think it's hard.
Or the big flag though.
They're stuck in the side.
Erday.
Wow. That kill was so much when Debbie.
Wow. Erday and Debbie.
Okay, that they earned. That they fucking earned. That was a well fought retake.
How did he get that kill back on the flankers?
Oh, he was low, yeah. Rock was low. True.
That was a big flick though.
Damn.
Well played, like, well played.
The aggressive teleport plays that he's making often times. He's a guy being set up by utility basically frag out like a tool is
The way that this seemed like to play and he is hitting
Christie said it. I mean on this map
You can make plays in terms of like putting smokes on top of site, you know at A&B
Right like elevation is really really good. So if you if you throw topside smokes, especially when you have a second controller
it's good. Like if you have a harbor as well as an omen, omen's fine. Omen obviously single
controller it's dog shit because you have to play, you're forced to play in the middle of the map.
But paranoia, being able to use the TPs to get elevation is really, really good. Also,
you can get in and out of sights. Like you can get a kill, like you saw a guy playing here on top
of this box, get a kill, TP out behind a smoke. And same thing for A, you can get a kill from top
site you can TP out to back spawn smoke. So it is mobility wise it's very essential
because this game is so not this game sorry this map is so based off the elevation or
elevation is a huge advantage in bomb sites. But you need a second controller with the
So, like, they don't, they're denying so much info from Lout.
And that's happened almost every round.
Can he get one?
I don't think he's getting out, so that's huge help him to get in.
Scuba wins the round already.
At least one.
Wow, what a lurk.
Wow. That is a beautifully played round.
Well isolated the Omen. TKZN came in and helped but it wasn't enough.
Omen's just stuck.
I mean yeah.
Energies played 10 times better than they were yesterday.
They're also getting more opportunities. They're playing the default well.
Well, even yesterday they were playing the default well, but they were losing those gunfights
They're getting caught off guard in the middle with how many numbers 100 these had 100 these had way better reads yesterday
Then loud currently has playing its energy
See like louds doing this like early aggression the energy is so far back and so aware
That they're not getting punished like they were yesterday
So much in the last matchup
Yeah, sure. Look, sure this time not pushing down mid and in fact the gatecrush seems to be refreshed here
He's actually looking for a fight now. Just okay. Luke show the angle. He's gotten a little bit of the timing here finally
Wow
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
And that's already the end.
They needed Lucho to get that kill.
And obviously, he gives them no dying.
Wow.
I mean, what did he even say?
The exec is just perfect.
The Phoenix ult should never be getting two there.
Never ever should the Phoenix ult be getting two.
And then Lucio just gets unlucky on that flank.
But he should have, realistically, he should have in hindsight triggered discipline.
Not that it would have mattered because Adam got a double entry anyway.
so far doubling his frags in that one play up into tower though see what
heavily opens up that ace side might be a quick pop here from loud out of this
ace side of the map very early Kiko is there of course the outlaw is very
well apportioned for the first bloods I've just completely gone NRG as well
good thing he's in a car quite flying Kiko still gonna be able to get out because of that
inherent mobility wonderful in the chamber does connect but Kiko is still
standing so close for ticazine
Wall from darker is allowing a little bit of safe space for energy to move their way forward
Just round on this that's how you go for
Melo droid landing for darker there is that a
This position known
And I do you've got seven that's right side route
73 already six it feels like such a fast-paced stuff. It's going to be like fast game
,
no aggression this time,
That's on the same extent as these prior gun rounds.
NRG, they are selling towards B. Bothulis.
He's safe.
He's a sight.
Luke Shaw on the anchor gets that burst.
Love's not moving.
Loud as he's moving.
Loud as he's moving.
NRG can't really activate too effectively across the map.
Scuba damaged up.
Doesn't want to go any further.
Both have been able to catch a road tape,
but he's not going to be offered up that opportunity.
Oh, Adam calls them back.
I'm in a matching game right now.
Loud, I'm not quite sure where NRG are playing.
call to call them back. They knew the fake wasn't convincing enough. Wow, such good recognition
by NRG to realize that the fake wasn't good enough. And Adam just kept the space, sadly.
So he just called them back.
late hunter spirit from Brockwood this was really old
watching the flight
this is all the whole my energy
that works out for energy this is better for energy
see no access to the primary 15 trying to wait that elephant now
the cove hard and stairs the saturate might have been brought down as a result
scuba scene at a base
big kill and now he's feeding for scuba
it's gonna be a multiplayer swing on this left side the high low does
in last human needs to find a timing they never expect the second
erde versus brawk and the latter has pulled out the bow and arrow can this
be stopped erde's already got it to half he's about to be revealed in the final
shot wow that's some lucky ring out nice try though from love guarantee the round
the wall is fucking annoying but they did get important kills nice try to
re-take that very nice try no that that kill from
auntie kizan is huge hundreds of time was it in the bomb site that got it as an
Adam? No, no, no, no, no. This kill right here from Ethan.
Damn.
What an insane recognition.
And then being able to call your team back there for Madden.
Like, what are we fucking? Why do I even try?
Give me a second, I'm sorry.
Fuck this, I'm going back to Twitch.
Get me out of here.
Get me the fuck out of here.
Lad hoping for just one more from this defensive endeavor.
Lucho again wants to anchor.
And I do mindfully just trying to scorn behind that day.
Crash, but he goes so deep into the site already.
Lucho caught completely off guard.
Unfortunately for Loud they just continue to get caught for the retakes can go in reckoning
Hunter's fury has changed that's lovely from Dabby that's an opener.
The deep turn of Kiko's been dealt with but still a 4v4 to reckon with.
Mada parting his time is deep in Ling deeper than you'd expect.
Oh he's so much to live.
So much to live.
And he barely lost an ESP.
He can maybe get one.
Oh he's done so well.
He's done so well though.
Oh, he's done so well. He's done so well though.
Just gaining that info as well.
And they killed the flanker who rounds already over.
Yo, NRG's post-plates are, I think, 400 times better than G2's were.
Versus the exact same team. They learned a lot from that game.
NRG made that 10-year applause.
The win-con for this entire map for NRG
was just waiting out loud aggression
and countering it in the early round,
because they always get aggressive early,
because they have Waila Yoru.
After that,
but because they were able to get those kills on Lucho
the first two rounds,
it was fucked.
Obviously the eco helps to the force bud.
to make another abyss come back.
They are not beating the villain allegations.
I'm not gonna lie.
Everything a hundred thieves did to NRG yesterday,
they are currently doing the loud.
Even though loud is doing all the right things
at the beginning of the round,
they're not getting the kills.
Like NRG is the one getting the kills,
and the better trades.
If we expect it loud to have such results,
I'm saying like in the defaults,
before the exit even comes in.
So I'm here with a prank, I don't even need to introduce the guy I know.
I want to know if you could wait for the results of the game with so many changes from the players.
For me it was a surprise, but at the same time not so much.
Because I already knew the potential of the guys, even more from Erd, who was the player I was crazy about,
to put on the team when I was there too.
So it was a surprise more or less.
but unfortunately he didn't get to do that so he knew already about the potential
and now I want to ask him about how it feels to not be on stage if he misses the stage, maybe next year
and how is it for you not to be there on stage? Do you miss playing on stage? Maybe it doesn't come all of a sudden?
Man, a lot of missings. When you arrive and feel the crowd's atmosphere, it's very different.
I don't see the time to be back. I'm here in 2027.
So, yeah, he misses the stage and he of course wants to really be back, it is completely different for him to be up there and see everybody and maybe in 2027 he will be here with us and I want to know if he wants to send a message not only to the crowd but maybe for somebody in special.
And now you want to go south for the guys there, maybe for someone special?
Dude, let's save the four torsidas and a kiss from the Sassine's caress.
So I wanna finish out to the crowd, and a little kiss on Saseemi's ball pad.
That's it for us.
There's three controllers.
Everybody misses.
It's Jimmy, Pankata, and Mime3.
It's time to do franchises for Densha.
That was the three.
That was the three.
2 to 1 victory in 2023.
It was a two overtime map series in a playoffs qualifying game.
Mous before, of course, Fnatic came back.
True.
Tent as well.
True.
and more I go as a hybrid though not a pure controller only. He's played multiple roles
as well. Sam? Oh yeah true Sam. I keep forgetting about playing anymore. Sorry Sam. True. I
More met like the older older players like older than Sam come back in that upper semi final just like earlier than what Sam played
They need to do it again
Think the first couple years one hour energy will be winning at this for the first time this stage
Well, we get started pretty quickly you decide push, but oh
So I'm going down now. He has to play Molly. He has to play it spawn
Throw up is a lot of this controlling you to the safety
Loud has to pivot now. He's happen to take shit with these walls through these smokes and there's still been no plan
Adam knows though energy knows the pivots happening. Oh, they have a second layer with paranoia
Good smoke
No, it's too hard still does that happen for the position
There's a guy having a little HP. He can't get into a smoke or anything.
That's too hard.
That's right, that's right, that's right. Well played, love.
Very well played, getting those kills.
That was actually a really good timing energy found as well.
That little tiny second where the guy was throwing a smoke.
To retake there.
Now, I was saying a bunch of controllers that, um...
People miss. I said mine freak.
Pancada would have a triple and Jimmy, but that's because I was talking about earlier than when you were relevant
They win the pistol
Like 21 22, you know plumber era snowball this game. I'm talking about the plumber era Sam. You weren't part of the plumber era
What do you want me to do?
Pretty deep push off that side there by stupid
Extremities getting works by energy
Get some stuff a quick double and that'll be enough for the American squad.
We're cool in there.
Real danger for NRG on this anti-bonus.
This is where the double duelists, in this case the triple dive comp,
All right, let's see if Bob can do it back this early aggression from these areas was
Constantly figured out by energy
success against bonus rounds the second
Committee now if they do it of their game that they will out figure it out. This is an opportunity for loud
And get the kills right back at least the one kill
No aggression at all no aggression at all besides this this angle here
We faked in the end the smoke cell over all the A side just to keep NRG interested
Here's the group up
I'm keeping it hella simple they didn't even default for that one deal with that sheer wall and energy rotating three beam
Why rapidly into the site? Oh, that is a nasty razor right on top of the box
Wow going through a five-wall into a horrible fight pretty hard. He's down
Look show now second to the fight get there. Vemada has cut a bloody swat with them
So Vemada Luke should get out the side. Imagine though. He's full health
Full house and I think he's going to be aware of the flank pretty soon.
What a play if he pushes spawn. What a play if he isolates this fight.
He has to know this is a flank.
You are the best!
He is the best!
Why always him?
Look so that is actually unreal what he just did by the way
The rising star isolating these kills okay pretty difficult this the recognition we saw him last year
That he has said he cannot just sit there in the postcard. He has to isolate fights aggressively
You could tell he was just that good right away
It was never a question of if, there was just one and he's finally got the reasons around him.
Two impossible clutches that have gone, gone, louts away.
To be in a position like this,
an energy is still up by this much.
To qualify for champions, leading the next generation of Brazilian talent.
I feel like Lucho has been so much of his loud career playing really well,
why the team around him couldn't turn their individual quality into results.
And now it finally feels like player and team have found their form at the right time.
There's any time to be peeking.
Oh, you got to chill with the glaze.
NRG is the better team right now.
NRG is the better team.
But individually, these guys are fucking Miracle-ing rounds, which is good for them.
And you have Brock as well
His level of play especially on the chamber has just been otherworldly
And to pick up the Yoru he is not a duelist player
He's about play Yoru before last week in an official
See you later
One out of this round is you know
possible for the double duelist snowball to take effect
So that's the worst to blaze energy, wherever they play good, but if other teams play good
you don't blaze them?
How is that even remotely true?
I just blazed Luksha.
How is that his team playing good?
You dumb fuck idiot.
I did blaze 100 things.
I said they were fucking insane and they might win champs to play like this.
Lucho doing something incredible or TK is then doing something incredibly like unlikely?
Does not mean loud is playing good.
You dumb motherfuckers.
You absolute idiots.
hit to shut it down with a utility.
But what if they find him first?
Luxio a brief encounter with the Vice.
Here's the high tide.
Remember, there is a shield wall that can be triggered.
It comes up now.
OK, they've been enough.
This is good.
This bylaw is good.
They recognize they can't go through a Vice wall and a Harbor wall and expect success.
The clone's just dealing with the shield wall.
Re-entry, Luxio.
Huge.
That's the Vice down, Gruber.
Huge.
The Re-defines now.
Ethan tries to get up on the box and there's an IT ping for us!
Good recommendation from Ethan there.
Take his A, he's sorry, in tip-top, he's team-made dark, it's a good deal!
A little aggressive from Nuke's shield, but he wants space so he can plant.
That's okay.
Wait.
Drags it into the three armor.
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I thought that was...
They're like, I thought that was like in Heaven or something.
Like it's getting planted.
Blach out right into Heaven now to the side, but he's the pinnapatter of East Phoenix.
Booksteps coming, and he's ready for the fight!
Well handled.
I'm gonna send back to square one, and take his A and his white for him!
Now it's on Kiko again!
That, by the way, that, by the way, is a well-fucking-played round by Loud.
The recognition from last round, they learned. They can't just B-pop.
They have to fake a B-pop, fake the utile, then re-hits.
Great job, Loud. You like that? Great job. Now that's the team play.
comes down claim it before air they could teleport you're gonna get that
free chance that's the difference on the site stupid fucks absolutely more on
edge you look like a daily basis absolutely it's like sweating top of you guys no mercy
no hesitation for the next generation South American Valorant energy no
intentions of trying to anchor in towards this B site again they'd rather push
down mid play for a retake from multiple angles.
Oh, the heavy flank.
That's the kill, and he sticks live.
Does he?
Does he live?
And then he drones.
I thought he was going to drone.
He should stay alive there.
He should not take that fight.
Now, no, there's a multiplayer flank
that they try to take space for.
He definitely should drone there,
but it was good that he got one.
And he got all the info there, heavy flanks,
so his team can adapt.
Push spawn.
There's your recline
Scuba batting his time now. He's the only player over the wall to lengthens the pressure over the wall
It's up coasts. Oh
God the momentum all of them momentum. I think NRG had to go
Like after that Davies spotted all of them. I really think they had enough time to go back through mid to spawn
They had to pivot away.
I don't like that they could retouch from flank.
After Davi recognized that there were three guys flanking.
It gave them too much time to just be completely ready for it.
is dwindling and they are able to deny a hurried, a rushed and uncomfortable energy as they get back into the site.
This lost bonuses fully kicked in. It is buy after buy for NRG.
Holy loud. Those clutches though guys. Those clutches were fucking unbelievable.
Those two gardens, those reckonings.
That Lucio clutch is un-fucking-real by the way, and it brought his team from 9-5, 7-2 here.
you know if love lose that round they're broke by the way right in the
11-5 show he's considering joining the rest of his team at a chance to sell
Ethan is sitting on this record if it disrupts loud you go for this a side
execute Ethan is going to be buried alone maybe brought that was bonus you're
right can't get some spam on yeah you're right sorry sorry sorry sorry any of
that vice utility and the rotates for energy are just going to take forever to get here.
Wait, what?
Yeah but...
Wait, wait, what?
No, it wasn't...
It's ridiculous!
It's ridiculous!
It's down to the stalling until it's been compromised!
It's ridiculous and I know what you still think that it's gonna be on this B side Balucho!
Just blame them!
One man on me!
Oh my God!
It killed them all!
Is this the best player in the world that I'm watching, currently?
I'd be stuck in that side too!
That's Thor for Luchung!
A cacophony to death of the gods!
This is how loud their name is!
He has single-handedly brought the Lord back.
Oh my god, this has got to be so tempting for energy.
This has got to be so... they're just tilted.
They're just tilted. They don't know what to do.
You are watching a player.
Look at these kills.
He's not even an option either.
He's not even out-outping anyone.
He is literally removing players from the server while having a hundred health at the end.
They can't even hit him, they can't shoot him back.
I've got a chill back. Chill, chill, chill, come on, come on, come on. Chill.
are being brutalized, flattened, turned to dust.
Oh!
Defense, but Brock might just have the answer.
Well, Loud finally, will Energy have someone that clutches for them?
The green.
Look at him.
He just can't die.
His bandit is kind of dirty with it.
Davi here really has to get involved.
Lucho was low bleeding out in trouble.
But he might be able to get the drop on them.
Wow, Loud, what a recovery.
I mean, they need Brock to win this round.
They need Brock to win this round.
There's the big ults coming up.
Luxor has another goal.
Coming up.
That's fucking massive.
That is fucking massive.
Is he really gonna ult?
Harder's fury off the rim. This is fully speculative though.
And Papi's having to stay clear of the time being...
I mean, this lets Davy know where he is too.
Like, Brock could have been flanking potentially if he wasn't seen.
Brock is a one tap.
But he knows his bearer can get the job done for him.
He puts his faith in it.
Oh my god, that was a head shot.
Yo, Brock is nice.
The way he's moving right now.
Papi's not in a hurry.
Brock's the one that has to make the move.
But his guy is done out of the beast.
Well played, Debbie. That was a hard clutch. That actually was a hard clutch.
He kept losing HP as well.
Then the MVP almost gone back.
They need one of the- they need a clutch man. They need like a crazy round energy and some sort of confidence in their favor.
Something going their way.
after clutch for loud throughout this stage
he played that bad when they call upon him in those like yeah i feel like you guys are just
not you guys sorry you who ever said that you're fucking stupid
the ultimate orbs farmed in that previous round for loud as a result dimensional drift
converging parts most readily ripping rocks it'll be caught by many sharp
they kill dark is going to be there though the such right connects and they're trying to
They're trying to flood, but it's not in that.
Scuba?
Big Olt?
He scares us a shorty close home.
I'm sure.
But why didn't he wait for his scene date?
Right? Yes.
But why did he wait for his teammate?
They gotta get a clutch going, man. One time.
One time.
Okay, this can't be it.
Well done. Well done. We popped the knives when we need to.
Doesn't matter. It's situational.
Why did he pop 9s? He could have just killed him.
He's trying to earn his way to the last first trophy with NRG consistency at the top this year,
but haven't been able to share that moment yet. He wants it.
And the rest of the team, they've spoken about wanting that for him.
Always questioning, never appreciating. Always questioning players that are not even in the realm of your caliber.
Yeah, he's feeling in a completely different reality. They live in and yet you question all you do is question here under
Such circumstances finally a round win for an RG after eight straights
Hey the game pace has slowed down
Finally, Luke sure picks up the up and attack side off low key feeling it right now
Is this a human? Is this a human potentially?
He kills Ethan. No, I know Ethan's piss.
I know he's pissed. Let me guess what he said there.
I die. He said I die.
Laos doing a dive to them. The aggression. All the aggro is just too obvious apparently.
whatever it takes to win. He knows. And that's exactly what wow they're going to use against them.
The shorty accounts for Braw can fall down to scuba. Not thick I mean phenomenal
Mac but loud. Have the momentum.
Loud have given all the space. Enjoy. Come on into that site. Put your feet up. Try to diffuse
while we all play for Maine.
Time to experience the combination
Colombian-Brazilian hospitality over at A.
I mean, the conditioning is just so good on loud.
I mean, they also just won so many rounds.
NRG has no choice but to try different things.
They tried the B push.
They tried the A push. They tried the triple flank mid push. What more can they fucking try?
But it's okay, they're throwing, right?
his attack side was outrageous but on defense he has not been afforded the
opportunities to take over the game energy trying to throw anything allowed
at this point they were not expecting a triple contact or through a main the
loud still shout what round does the clutch it was 95 right at 95 he clutched
to make it 9-6. We need to go back to that round. We must go back to that round. We need to figure out the money situation and what it happened if Luccio loses that.
Is this in?
This is the only alt they have. It's got some value.
And there he goes.
Wow.
And then he paranoid.
Okay. Honestly, he was low HP.
He just wanted to get as much of the kind of gun.
He was low HP, he did enough.
That is not even a bad play at all.
GG.
No time. GG.
That's a nice win.
Nothing energy could do after the money control was in favour of love and they gave them a
in that half. They just try a lot though. I'll give it to them. They try everything. They
try fucking every single thing they can think of to turn that around.
Wow. That was a fucking
I'm fucking BANGER MAP by the way.
Sorry, I have to go back and look.
If Loud lose this round, they do have another buy, but it would have been 10-5 NRG.
So money would have been fun their money's fine they could have bought again
This round is you did not play your own trade it's before last week on the chamber has just been
Yeah, and then Energy Lose, they kill it, they end their lives in the game.
Early-mid defaults, the next round.
But they invaded 0B Util, so this is why I said I think it was bad from loud to pop.
Oh no, that was last round, sorry.
This round they did a really good job of baiting this Util.
then re-hitting the site and they had way more success without having Luke show
having to 1v fucking 4 then that harbor wall actually hurt energy because the
clone was able to get through and make the vice walls
That is one nice little benefit of having the Yoru in this matchup as well.
The clones just dealing with-
Once the wall goes down, they re-hit, and both walls go down.
...the Razor finds now unusable!
Ethan tries to get up on the box, and there's an ATP forward as usual!
Take his aim, disorient, but his teammate Darken takes care of the enemy-
This is where I said loud's good, I thought that was really good for loud.
...the second to in those play-
...angles and adjustment to the game.
And then NRG tried a mid-push.
So NRG's adaptation was mid-aggression because their passive hold didn't work, right?
And it's like a random round to throw it in.
Pretty good.
Pretty decent call.
Like honestly, pretty decent call and it's actually the perfect call because these guys
are about a B-pop and you want to be able to fast-flank them.
But look how far the Sova is.
No mercy.
No hesitation from the next generation.
South American Valorant.
Also because of the Yorua ult, it's very hard to hold either side, also because of the opponent's
harbor, or Yorua.
No intentions of trying to anchor in towards this B site again, they'd rather push down
mid, play for a retake from multiple angles, an adjustment to the game plan.
This kill, this kill is just, yeah.
Having mindfulness of catchers matter early, significantly hampering it after you took
the ult.
The only thing he could have done better is just drone and stay alive for as long as possible
until his team got these 100 people flanking right now.
Good luck.
I thought was bad, but all good because they still recovered the round
They have a guy heaven they have a guy like they haven't got three guys in the bomb site an energy right now has to assume
These guys are like pushing through heaven trying to flank and take this space
This is where I said I think energy needed to fall back and go this way
because it's too obvious like what that could the retake was gonna look like and
Loud is gonna be ready for it
It goes begging loud. No, there's a multiplayer fight to go try to take space elsewhere
What is the game plan from here energy are putting a lot of pressure on them from multiple different angles?
But I guess they have scuba there, so you don't have to there's your reclote
Scoob of hiding his time now. He's the only player over the water
It's your pressure over the water. Oh, Slam and look show sprays Kiko down
two clean
Two clean and they kill themselves again in game. Wait, no they have on rebuck
What a game yeah
They are able to deny a hurried, a rushed and uncomfortable energy as they get back into the site.
Very, very defaulty. They have Lucio working B, Sova holding A, very passive, just like he was holding B for his team the round prior.
He's just playing to stay alive and get the info. That's it. He can't die.
He also has his full, all his utility for the mid-rounder, late-round exec.
Mid-defaults, smoke left side, or B-link rather.
Just make sure NRG is not pushing again because they pushed the round prior.
Once they do that, they go back to A. Luke's showboat.
Wait, this is the Luke's show round, right?
He just wins by himself.
Bro, if this is the round, he kills everyone, right?
Again.
So he's faking B again because Loud have conditioned B I think.
Over to try to throw a recon, get some spam off but Loud won't be worrying about any of
that vice utility and the rotates for NRG are just going to...
No, they're still just execing A. Very normal.
And to get here, if you can see Recting, Hanister Reboot coming...
I mean that's just a...
Why would you expect a Yoru there if they're execing A with ults?
He cancelled his ult, I didn't even recognize that.
They faked A, it was supposed to be an A fake with Omen TPing back to Luke's show if Luke's
show gets the kill.
But because they killed the A player as well, they knew NRG just had no idea.
I mean
I mean
Oh my god
I'd be stuck in that slot too
This round right here was game this is where NRG is like we're fucked
What the fuck just happened to us
They got the kill A and B at the same time basically
Very similarly these guys faked A
Lucio peeked this guy, killed him. Omen ults, cancels it.
So obviously NRG's gonna assume they're going B now, that was a fake.
And then they just walk back into A, and Lucio just keeps killing people that are trying to kill him.
Before his teammates can catch up to B, because NRG thinks it's B.
That is fucked.
This one where he's actually winning out with the heart stall as well.
But once a side switch, I didn't feel like this vice was that great an answer to the way Loud played.
in particular the the loud players on the attacking side they've so what a game by him by the way
that utility the t-ping ahead with the omen with the yoru whatever you may have they did a really
good job of circumventing that utility playing the team fights they want and succeeding despite
bonkar being happy about returning to the compiness yeah the irony that tweet was like right before
the games today sandbird as usual crying and look bonkar delivered unfortunately it just wasn't
Yeah, you know and look at the credit goes 14 and 5 on the time
You got to talk about the massive 4k as we received first
We got a big play from tickets in to kind of kick things off
But yeah, I honestly thought this was gonna be the only clip we could play from loud during the first time
I was looking a little dire. It looked terrible, but he shot to an incredible level
That's the only and lost in the first half that loud have once loud had money to play with once Clucho clutched
and NRG was finally money broke or like broke. That's when Loud started just
playing so so like this perfect after that point. They literally just waited.
All you do is wait for early aggression because the opponent has to get info on
whether you're popping A or B because the rotates are so far that you need that
info. That or you cut the map in half and just push through mid. So Loud did a
good job of stalling those, making sure they don't die one by one in those areas on the
default. And when they realized NRG isn't pushing, they learned from like how to exec
B properly from the first time where Lucio clutched. So they baited out the utile then
re hit B. And it was just easy at that point obviously helps they got this entry. And then
they just got to play their game after that. They just recognize, they recognize what NRG
was doing so early in the rounds on defense. After the clutch though. Before the clutch,
they weren't playing well.
Are you biased?
the high angles that you know the dive is going to be coming up to.
For a third A always deepies.
Exactly, but it still didn't matter because you have three players that instantly scale
past the wall that's over in D main, you're flooding in behind it and always isolating
scuba.
And then the next answer for energy is start to play these flank rounds and I've had such
great awareness they've won the fight.
Are you biased towards energy because of your friends and you playing there or do you hate
loud because of your past with loud?
Because an excellent job when they get control on a post-plant of always fighting forward,
He's holding deep space and making it an absolute nightmare to play retake against these guys.
And this round was so cool. It's a fake hit over the A site.
It's not used to so much. It's just non-existent. I can't.
It looks so still getting the kills on B. Literally, Loud executed two sites at the same time and
one on both fronts. That's how much better they were in the second round.
Oh look folks, it was an absolutely stellar performance from Loud, but of course for NRG
they're going to need to finally bounce back.
But I just went through, think about it Chad, I just went through all the things Loud did
well.
And that's the question he asks.
Like, how do your ears just not,
like how does your brain and your,
do your ears just not, are you deaf?
Like, I don't get it.
Like, how can you,
how do you process me hating loud or bias towards energy
based off what I just said, the last 10 minutes?
I'm just blown away by this.
that
are some prediction three zero against Chelsea yeah for sure
3-0 that's more realistic than Chelsea 3-0
What's love condition the be hits that the first be hit which didn't work, but then Luke show clutched and in the second be hit where they did
adapt to the vise and harbor util and then just re-hit. Once they conditioned that, NRG
started trying to find other solutions and loud knew what the solutions were going to be already
and pre-planned for them. That was the big issue with NRG there. But dude, those clutches,
like, I'm not going to lie, those clutches saved loud. I swear to God. They would have
lost in this without those, like, both of them. I promise you.
was unable to clutch when it really mattered.
Mada, again.
Slow start, had some decent moments
of that attack side was playing the Phoenix.
This is a different look though for NRG
and the one promising sign is that it puts Ethan back
on the KO, puts him back in a position
to start to dictate the pace of the game.
The Kiko versus Lucho chamber head to head
could just define what happens on Sunset.
Kiko, one of the best players in the world over the last two years, and yet, in a chamber, head-to-head, where as Lucho, he could make him look like a beginner and amateur.
Okay, start your engines apparently, and if we go, Kiko would need to the ones to strike right now, but the ladder is out in the open, and Tick-A-Sing takes liberties.
Stuber reloading, and Kiko comes in with the headhunter.
He is straight away, Kiko is not playing around.
What the fuck?
Lucio's stats on this map are obscene. Across the four wins they have, he is 98 for 52 on this map.
Ridiculous. Hosting up nearly two to one. Just to further emphasize, the task that lies in front of NRG,
in front of Kiko, in that head-to-head, but so far, so good. Pistol round one,
one-oh begin.
That was too fast.
Oh boy.
Damn, they hear the chamber trips so they don't think the player is there.
Wow, I like that for my energy.
Why would there be a guy inside the chamber trips?
That doesn't make any sense.
Genius item, I like that.
keep in the classic. First of all, this modern neon is going to be like the other pivotal
agents, pivotal roles for NRG here. He's going to be playing it a bunch coming up in this
series. And it's been two mixed results this year. He started off hot kickoff into San
to Yago, kind of lost himself and stayed on here.
Alright.
It's felt like he's been more in control of that Neon again in Stage 2.
Has had some straight-out maps, but still, you know, it is the Phoenix, it is the Raze
where he is putting up his best numbers, they want to come back against Log, he needs to
be absolutely...
They gotta have Kiko as God of Diff lucha.
God to...
Bona wants to play aggressively around this.
Sum up.
He got it. He got the kill, son.
Good read. Good read. They have 3A ready. They're the trap.
And then Energy plays completely as a pack. They have Fiko at B. Full retake.
These three are just gonna run around at all times together.
Loud console in this round though. They do have sage wall. Get the bomb down and have some stall
Is that are you gonna repress short I think they might
No, they're not. They're just oh, they're just over sacking a oh boy
All right, Luke show spawn site have one of your rounds. The only way
This this next kill has to go in favor of loud
Contact they all right rock is there to meet them scuba ready to swing off
Passive
Well done darker good like good like stuttering you know what I mean they didn't panic seeing that many players they just took their time
The Lord Headhunter!
Luke Show talker, they were the duo clawing for every loud round win earlier this year
before they had the support from some of these other guys they were working with.
That's too hard. Way too hard, right?
Very chamberbrained, Kiko's looking for an ultimate line on this.
For time.
These are the essence.
And it's beginning to work against him right now.
Luke Show, he gets out barely alive.
Knocked out to 10.
um
Still gets the kill
Still gets the kill
That was a good trap by energy though good trap by energy good idea they stuck together as well
Just lost their gunfights specifically it was a small amount as well at the end
Airday over towards link right in this moment
That's by fighting through elbow the smoke as well. Yeah, and then lucho is just able to get the easy spam
Great trids.
Big round. Big, big, big, big, big, big round.
Yeah, they know Neon's here. It's probably no trap towards them.
Do they assume Chambers A though in their wike?
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. You didn't get a kill.
Oh my god.
Yeah, that's instantly the round over.
All guns up.
for the next that's straight out the neon trailer just jumping around in
a female thing that's your one real holy fuck they should random down in market
you could possibly see the way this map pool ends up breaking out why it is so
bizarre that in that energy is quote unquote boot maps can keep on that TV
away though after missing there that there's a lot of these things alive
summer you really died here on sunset the series could be over before
they get to show their best on Haven and Loader's.
They've got to flip the script at some point along the line.
Imagine Leviathan players looking at this match.
Yeah, they're going to be heartbroken if they don't make it.
Sucks.
Yeah, you got to be in Stubb.
Great peek by Oda.
This is just so good by Tiki Zem to just jump around.
They like so easy for Oda.
Just jumping around.
I think he's got no idea what's going on.
He's stunned to high heaven.
Urde keeps it locked down.
Are we on the right patch?
That looked like a little Bambi Santiago Neontini.
I don't know, buddy.
So, Spike was showing us some states too.
Like we see on an earlier build.
So, there's a point there.
It was quite enlightening for RNG.
He's all off-loud crooked up there towards AMA.
Yeah, they have to reset.
the
half of the suit somebody's containing
the reason the full head of full the top of the notice that the money one of the main worst case they're probably retaking
the site to the likely held
possibly an understatement say likely held
scuba to see some of the retake of the retake of the
the potential of the visit a killer
It's a bit over eager. Don't take a zing but loud. They want to go for this res play around that one way smoke
And they're able to get him back into the mix. Wow, they get the res off as well for free.
No one peeked with the res or no one peeked with that paranoia. He's still in a decent spot to get the side, but Lucio will wait
Teasing those shows, he's head flashed there, nothing to neon could have done. Lucio realizes he's gonna get a little T-Bus, so he does.
He's the best. He's the best. He's the fucking best.
I don't know about using that paranoia for no reason
He is on pace for an absolutely historic
Chamber stage the only
Absolutely destroyed
The even more broken chamber
It's a generational run for the man propelling Brazil into the future
He was having to get up to a good start on this map that again in scuba who seems to be
The engine room for energy over so much of these last couple of weeks
I thought that NRG would re-take that better though, I'm not gonna lie. First of all, you're going through, you're going heavy market when they have a sage wall market and you recognize that early, you even heard it.
Scuba gets the entry, they have res obviously, but they're not enough people were spawning
yet so they kind of he has to give up the res, however, using the paranoia for no reason
there and then also retaking from market is crazy decision making from NRG on that retake.
Like they have to go heavy spawn here, I feel like, and then paranoia used here.
Think of the prime and Justin think of the prime stamp his name on the map
Lot of emphasis on that a side early for an RG this time loud it don't really fancy meeting them at the middle
Revealed here you has to get out the wall bang would have been the end of it brought takes a fat load of damage to that box himself
Whenever you're playing this attack side on sunset versus the chamber you just have to be extremely cautious about
I love how careful they are on their defaults though, just waiting for any kind of aggression, especially when the opponent is on low buy or
Like no one's committing to any fights unless it's the pack
Energy does have the right read but again loud is really good at like
Like, the way they scale, they can pause.
They can pause scaling and just wait for NRG to peek into them.
Just like they did on bonus.
When NRG was stacked there.
They're taking their time contacting for rocket meet them, Dory is broken, NRG is on this site, can they make it happen?
The choice to get active here, TKZ out of the site, Mata Taks, TKZ reveal Mata waiting for a dare in the buck, he's gonna be good for the exchange!
His worst weapon to get out of here, I'm getting value because the UTIL is paving the way!
And RG, hold on!
That's an NRG right by the scene one!
virtually a thrifty I just glazed that they just started slowing it down and
waiting but they didn't wait four players stacked up they just had that's the
one time they didn't wait feeling that I was going to be loud ending on this site
okay not as good as it used to be but that first shot is still real strong
Good ults for energy kind of kills really good ults actually
They're not you're getting to have that Neon cause it's close to k walls as well
They're about to get a little bit around taking a lot of map. What again this constant absolutely owned
Design a fight on that a main side
So we're listening to loud how they get out of this situation
can we just wait a second we have a main advantage in the first second of the
round it took me cool we traded Ethan cool can we fucking just wait one time
43 really seeing this sage pay off here for loud
once everything we're doing this parallel between these two teams is a
refusal to go by the rules of the current net allowed had just enjoyed this
double-sensical look on plenty of maps all stage long and sunset one where she's
always been very powerful okay this is fine what the what the what the fact
What the fuck?
I am so confused by that. I don't expect that.
They did so well too.
NRG did so well there.
And then bang.
You get flashbacks to Lotus when they ran in like it's a ranked game
That three in that upper semi modder's off was ruling over the map. He split a gun
And that's so all it's annoying
expected to miss any shot ever. I don't expect him to miss that. I'll be honest, that was
a good look by him. Very, very good timing he took up mid. This Hilo is very good though.
Very, very, very well held here by energy. Dan, if DeBion had jump spotted B before
he ran in, energy would have been fucked up because they would have soloed it and peaked
at the same time. But you can see he just kind of ran in, gave a kill, and then the
snowball was like a little late. It was too staggered and energy was got some
isolation fights. I'm sure they brought that round back though with that kill. He would have cut off the last rotate.
playoff run for all of them and the first VCT playoff run for Davi to cuisine on their rookie stage
Romani rare miss coming out of challengers last year was working with darker highest pressure situation
You think if left as a qualified that makes them the worst fastest winner?
Since they'll be the only masters winner to miss chance. No, I don't really think about things like that
I'll lose here. They're obviously one of the best teams in the world. So until next year
to have another crack at making a global event.
We'll be levy a ton on their way to champions, watching with beta breaths today.
Hoping that their teammates of the past sadly falter.
Just as Falpo said to our look show,
called him brother, instead I'm proud of you no matter what happens.
How are they one of the best if they don't qualify ruffle?
Levy time's coach saying hey if we fail, we'll make champs because if the results is all right,
Right now is on us. You remember things go just a little bit differently at Ascension a couple years ago
We might have seen South Hill and Luke show together. They were fighting for a VCT spot. I've got a Reese roster. That's right
Luke shows opera three rounds in a row. Luke show has gotten demolished, but he is
Denied by Keith. They are shutting him down right now. It's looking solid so far
Reproactive here from an RG in this early round again. It's my I constantly asking the question towards a man
I'm not gonna find the money, but that's a beautiful paranoia. Can I capitalize?
Yes, I'm out of court out in the open
To really like this willingness energy shelter fight over the extremities with the high-low as well. Okay, the fundies are back
Taking fights taking space. Okay. See good trades. You have played together always a lot of Odin from Brock this weekend
But they're already a villain to this crowd. So why not engage in some these are the types of clutches that loudest winning last
It takes it tilted the fuck out of energy and then I do you've got wanted to play retake on this map
But they think we want to play it on a busy that has had no choice
So we're gonna see more of that deep anchoring more of that aggression on the extremities early in the round
So energy don't even have to get to a post plant scenario
I was gonna say he gets into that site and plants the bomb even with school by having a smoked and diffused from
Oh, there's so many areas they have to clear
Before they get to the bottom
With a 22.6% defense side D1 duck eating into two on that. Thanks for 12 marks. Thanks for the year
Because of stuff like this keep going playing up early challenging loose show not letting take liberties mother
Great defense off from energy side as well. There's nowhere
the free real estate wise for this
loud team
but they also want to still go to be here
operator again just the energy economy
for a second they are buying up for the
rest of this half absolutely rich at
this point
seeing this before from Kika really
playing to meet he's in a nasty
she probably thinking this problem
leaving masters winning team should
unmatch with qualifier champions
he's tickers in
Ah, no, I don't.
They had, like, they...
Nah, I don't.
His form matters too, and form comes and goes.
And I feel like that recognition of, like,
Being able to qualify for events after events shows your consistency throughout the year.
I don't see that.
Oh my, imagine though.
He's not though, he's still feeding the side.
Nice shot.
Damn, this is a lot of B abuse, but they've tried A a couple times too.
And they ran into a trap the first time.
And then they ran like halfway up and got paranoia, stunned.
And lost that fight as well allowed half right everything to be pops to a pops to be splits and then a top mid to be split
And that's a
They won the A5 at least in terms of space
And they pulled the offer
Still a big kill killing the neon.
NRG don't have any ults if it comes down to a post-plant.
Wow, still well played, man.
That Statsikation is so annoying, oh my god.
Nice try. Well done. They won the A-Fight finally. This time they didn't pause though. They didn't walk up.
So the way they lost the A-Fight a couple times, the first time they tried to drone up, then go up.
The second time, they walked up. This time they changed it up by just running up.
Like literally just using the neon speed and running and rushing backhaul.
There could have potentially been four there. Like a full A-Fight or three there. But they just gambled it.
Because of how often Loud has hit B, and seeing what the setups are, they just assumed that
they would have 2-way.
Loud, catching in all that good karma.
Trying to make the game even before half time.
Brock is still sitting on the O, Mada is still patrolling with Eon.
Loud, need to find the park of least resistance.
towards that these side again
executes their solidity
plastic fuck off
from the sage wall has been
hanging around
with the nice
off of market lanes
they're getting right back to it
even though the rest of them
play within the post plot
if it gets there
look at energy they wanna fight
but they're fighting into the
urdence seems crazy
psychotic in fact
dark a quiet lot of war
EX-M come in and broke his hand
on him with a paranoia
and taken a task
scuba 2 try to play in his corner
but there's no choice
Yeah.
What?
The energy, look at the depth.
Look at where the bodies are.
How is energy not helping us?
Did they all get flashed? Like, everyone was blind?
to the left side is up six to six and it didn't even get that pistol
and both teams take this off
things could have been awful different
they all got steam flashed, flashed
didn't bring the spike studs apparently as a show of his
They went out the drone and they popped the...
I mean, I know scuba got flashed by the KO flash, but I'm sure Ethan called it.
called it and scuba just didn't turn because he didn't want to like turn and
then the guy peaks him but the rest of these guys got blind or at least this
guy got blind right before
The Paradoid are in taken if it gets there look at an OG they want to fight
Fighting in the Odin seems crazy
Psychotic in fact that are quite low a lot of all makes man coming in the book is
Paradoid are in taken the task scuba to try to play in this corner, but there's looks are waiting for into a merge
And doctor's back in the game. What a fucking party
So do you know when cloud nine place sub-cord cloud nine jog at the circle?
Cloud nine plan completely future along the Prazo. Yeah, that's
231. We're coming with food
So he said that I'm basically it's a long-term plan.
The club was really that nice.
In 2031, they're going to come strong.
And what happened to Furia?
Where are the guys?
What's up with Furia?
Where are the two guys?
I can't be that good.
I can't be that good.
But the guys from Furia are here.
At the show match, the artist was my coach.
Hey, it's perfect.
So he said, well, I don't know the players themselves,
but I know that Axil was my coach on the show match.
So he was here.
That's all I know.
And you showed up, assigned, saying,
extra greater than Xarola, right?
So I thought you were friends.
You put there an extra-large clatter than Xarola.
I thought you were friends.
We're friends, but I'm not crazy either.
The best Xster in the world.
It's not like he invented all the teleports,
anyway, teleports with flash.
It was the first time I saw fake clone in the Xster's live.
So he said that, of course, they're friends,
but he's not crazy.
So, AXTER is the best hero in the world, like, creating everything he's seen so far,
like, the first time he saw Faklun was on AXTER's live stream.
And what did you think about Luke's shows, Yorou?
What did you think of Yorou and Luke?
You're the best Yorou in Brazil, maybe?
The best Yorou in the world?
Man, Amazon.
He's very good.
He's very good at looking.
He's good at operating.
He knows how to open a good Yorou solo bomb.
He's an absurd.
So, basically, Luke's show is just absurd.
He can like open up
Because of his your next year so so good, so thank you so much guys. Valeu. Tamo junto
I'm gonna be able to say no seeking and that's it for us unbelievable guys
So disappointed in this shot
Good to hear from charola and the biggest buy sense in Brazil possessed by a Brazilian
Possessed by a Brazilian. All right, bro. That's all all right, bro
We've got tide danger on sunset and it starts pretty well for energy there with the pistol
Chico's getting active early.
Mata is like really pushing for a fight on that AXF everybody can laugh at.
What to do against that early aggression.
This is definitely a big pistol for energy specifically they need this shit.
No momentum louts layer this map's gone.
Nothing short of incredible.
I'm breaking trip thinking top. Oh, I thought they're gonna mark the split
They are markets
This thing to say on show up to support you know, it's a press couldn't get
Well, it's a good one around in the mix a wall just allows lousy people of the valuable
They are none of this
Look John look at the climb up on top of it, but energy already headed elsewhere
I mean, he's not dead
Raids on loud brother little seal
You do if I know your energy here do you just keep the space they're all ones everyone's taking ones
It's just you kind of have to be a crucial
It's loud, intent on working with the last zero point,
big info revealing the punch and blurk right now as well for Luxio.
Ethan knows that there's at least two flank though, Neon Omen.
Reaching to elbow, does Ethan have the stopping power?
Oh big kill, big kill.
It's these guys, oh he's delving instantly.
Luxio's trying to get the trap.
Big parallel.
Big dart.
Broke you a little bit late on that read con.
Oh my god, energy one.
Still fires through the smoke.
Need to reload now, only few more slept and-
Energy one, yeah, what's left?
loud! Dark, I have some of these shoes completing that elimination! That's Scuba!
That is a nice one-way spawn, great utility. But the time was getting too low anyway.
That is well played. NRG set themselves up really well there. I love how Scuba
wore the map, playing towards spawn. This right here, this combo is really good.
paranoia further delay and the crossfire is right okay so both pistols one
friend of me
both that was fucking nice from earlier though that's the stage wall there he
one a million percent dies if that stage wall doesn't come up when you're on
sunset priority would completely change the texture but he had to use it normally
to use it on a retake to like diffuse the bomb but he's had to use it there.
One-sided map in the pool and yes, take one.
Dust on wagon, think of the problem. Thank you.
And they converted off them pretty effectively as well.
The map does not get more simple than NRG this year,
04 Sunset, loud 4-0 Sunset, three distinct favorites.
The energy's running into a stack.
The map in which Lucio has tried everyone.
two thirty bombs of the first or of the two times they played this month
excuse me this year they didn't someone's got a record drone any drone breakers ever
but i handled early oh my god loud they just all swing out at the exact same time
how are they making this work with tommy
Oh, it's just G.G. Oh, no. That is just that is not around. You lose if you're an RG,
you get that entry. There's not. That's not around. You lose to get those kills. I do
love this setup from loud. The second energy through the choke point, everyone just swings
out with the classics the shots are connecting for to win that out Davy is
just that's a total guys clutches ice cold some dirty right clicks I mean I'm
not gonna say great read from loud dad oh shit I can't win Kiko wants to provide
the answer shut down the excitement from the big entry energy back in control
They've been able to still put together a buy a reasonable one at that
It's up here to kick her to get full armor on this frowns problems. They're loud with that stage wall
Don't have info on me man either like these guys can be easily walk activated. They're not obviously
But horse into it now they know what's up you do trying to rush through elbow to find an opener
You're also keeping aggressively on the big side now, but wait. He's already been paid for energy post plumber
Dark is here to get in amongst us if you got three there that'd be
into the works
Luke show it's awkward now is to try and play forward with this outlaw
He got no they covers him beautifully though from short he goes just a little bit faded out into that swing
The results of an ice-o one-to-one the air day wins and now
Is waiting as Luke show nice to run say it to repress this is a 5v3 child another slow
This is a fucking 5v3. Oh, I mean he's 20 nose and oh, I guess it was the current greatest ideal is hunting 18 years old
hungry for blood
These guys are too good, these guys are too good, man.
They are genuinely too good.
That was a clean 5v3, a clean 5v3 they just lost.
That energy just lost.
Darker did so well to get to.
Ah, Kiko just peeked a little wide, like a little too wide.
How can he be so sure?
both there. And Erde has turned this loud team around in many regards. From the IGLing to the
individual play, he was struggling in the Stage 2 groups. His numbers had drastically fallen
from those debut games in Stage 1. In the group stage, he walks away. Minus 33 kills to death.
But then in the playoffs, 141 to 115, he has bounced back in every manner of valorant play.
I feel like that's kind of hindsight.
No, if you are the solo short player, normally it's the senti player and your whole team rushes
back call on an a-hit and they trade in the bomb site, they get the bomb down.
You as a short player always assume there's a guy looking at you while another guy's
fighting.
You understand that, right?
And the key part I'd mentioned is they traded well in the site.
That means there are more people in the site and you're alone at short.
You always assume there's a guy on a closer angle watching you, while the guy farther angle is peaking the guy's sight.
But you're fucking idiot so you don't know that.
with
This is an important why doesn't Kiko know that in terms of the economy around that loud could stabilize off the back of or if
NRG just get away with damage
They can keep loud in a comfortable spot where they might just be also where's this TP in this game if they lose a full gun by round
But I'm ready for the fight there is matter unwittingly
walks directly into his purview.
There's a scuba going by
a sparrows tree here in market,
but allowed to have all of those
entryways covered.
Now you've got players with guns.
Why are you guys calling him Modo?
My pistols.
He's 14 and 13. What are we talking about?
All the noise.
I'll launch it off.
It's just too easy.
He got the bottle in time.
Darker appears with a flash steps
his authority on this moment.
and a fight, TT!
But buttholes, Keiko!
Long enough for Tiki Zayam to get the drop on it.
Not nearly enough damage done
if you are NRG stabilizer for loud.
Further's their advantages,
heading into the tail end of Sunset.
That's what you're calling a moto?
I'm not gonna see what sticks kind of round.
Because on an eco round, he's gambling,
There's no one jiggling. You made one gun rested away. That's not
He's gambling now
Operator for Kiko. He has been here. Are you standing on the side?
My there's shanko control over the kills. Oh, yeah. Oh my god. He walked up
You're the balls on this guy. He heard the op shot and he was
Welcome. Oh my god. Yeah
That's how I saw some feel better matter frankly. It's too clean on activity. Yep. Nope. That's ridiculous
Is that somebody that call him Loco?
Is that Loco then?
Loco?
What made Lucio just continue pushing?
He thought Kiko was going to see Pia to the out of beam in?
He's just like, pre-walkout.
What a cool agent this is.
That is beautiful, Adam. Keep that up, maybe.
about challenging
Oh, was that someone else then behind him?
He did he might have just tp that's why I
Would be easy my fault my fault my fault. So I'm quite sure this all falls within expected
I was gonna say there's no way the church is walking up after hearing an option as far as energy resistance is concerned
This outrun could be a bit of a nuisance
Oh, the paranoia coming in from Tiles, that's a problem. Loud, they have to give up that
short spot for Dummy. He might be able to slow down the attack as further. How does
Fury finds one? Oh, wow. Good A5. Good trades though. Big kills. Good fucking kills by
energy. They walk in a loud trap, dude. One in the room. Cleaning. Well, fucking done.
from loud seemed pretty decent I wanted them to do exactly what they did maybe you could have had
because he tried to peek it a little bit earlier wasn't exactly set up to swing off the paranoia
that was definitely more of a reactive one from darker to not get rushed down they were almost
able to cobble something together but big pause here i think that's broke the utility the swings
were just not tight enough and energy punish yeah pretty timely moments for the final time out off
the game. As loud as much as they'd like to emulate an early round aggression of NRG,
just had that exact approach punished on that A site with a lurk up needed from scuba.
That's always going to be on the gender. It's always something you have to account for.
And they have this one last chance to get their ducks in a row.
So they have only these teams like EG, NB, MIBR in this split and lost to NRG 100
things in G2 but why do you still glaze them? You're right and I'm wrong.
Romanilla had giving up giving loud the recipe on the post timeout rounds
In the match against energy previously there was only one I believe where they did not win the immediate round out of a timeout
He has been providing so much value for the team
Obviously this one they're not able to buy into
It'll be really about the next one this is an opportunity for energy to get that lead back
Hey again, I'll see what Luke chose out of it with this hero rifle. Hey again, very aggressive back-horse control
Actually, we're gonna go lane apparently
Actually, he could he's still good to go back on to that left side towards Lane
It's like they want to throw us right up the back of it
Wow, nice flash right now. Loudest fall off for that short position. Good trade, but that's a Lucia's ever to make use of this hero rifle
But you still have all the space
I was gonna say he does gotta hit that. Make sure she didn't even get one there.
Oh, so...
Wait, both were seen.
I mean, what the f***, that is incredible.
That is incredible.
And somehow, NRG are not ready for this young Chilean with a bandit to take the ground in his own hands.
This kid is so good.
Give him the contract extension.
Like, if Erdate doesn't get a raise at the end of this year, he should just leave this organization completely.
If he doesn't get an ownership in the company.
This guy is fucking insane.
And he's calling.
ridiculous that was not the round Roman early on the morning but they make it
okay with the tens cost well not again same team is to see this one not again
nothing to say not again despondents oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Oh my god.
Wait, what's the same score line, too?
Oh, it's 12-11.
Oh my god.
That's the dagger on the same dagger by the different player?
I live for a little 10 spot abuse, I've been waiting for this opportunity for years.
Lifetime community wanted this guy to be on one of their teams to represent like a crew
for instance forever and yet somehow just never able to be a part of the VCT League
and if loud and clear they're not going to be on the team.
Except they need UNSOM, me and SOM were not there when 10s did that.
NRG have called a tech pause because the boos are too loud.
We were there for the 12-5, you've got to make stuff.
That was a brief one. That was a brief one. All good. All good. All good.
Luckily, somebody has ripped the plug out, but hey, we're back to it. Round 21.
How can I slide too bad? If at all. Two rounds away from going up 2-0 in the series.
Sam was? See, you just say that you just, uh, that's just not true.
That was Marved.
Oh yeah, it was Marved. You're right.
Fuck, I can't stand these. I always think they're right in the trot.
He throws on the walk up, this could be big but he can't quite get ahead of the Aldrin's
to hold this line.
This is extremely-
They baited so much Utah, yeah, big kill by Kiko though.
Where was that?
Oh, they killed the market players.
So A pressure, but they got the kill at B, now they B split.
Just keeping it real simple, but the thing is the rotate's here.
Uh, Dark paranoia?
Could get some pings.
Dark paranoia, could get some things.
Alright, some of them.
Darker, always good for two.
Wow.
Darker is in, by the way.
That's the second time he's gotten two kills soloing his side.
Obviously people flooding in, but if he doesn't get these two kills,
It falls apart, the trades don't go energy or uh, lands away.
That champion's thrown energy sit-on is being smashed by a team who have never even been on a regional America's playoff run like this.
It never even been to a playoff lower bracket final before.
Wow.
Oh Lev, I'm so sorry.
And making it look like lights work.
And I do try and sell some action on the B side, but it's a sport of interest on the
AX, so many tickets in, walk straight into a trap.
Could be the opening and OGN need Kiko doesn't want to test, but she's going to offer up
a way back into the round.
She wants full value out of his wall.
Another 4v5, but that hasn't, it's loud, just does not give a fuck.
come down with what 30 seconds no matter how many advantages energy is had they
just don't convert three miles away from his teleport just walking all the way
down mid does he get that catch this is ridiculous
nice shot Ethan a second player walking into a setup just before the final
hurdle loud land a little melodroitly
Oh god, the Saichlo, oh god, oh god, the Saichlo, they can't run in.
Oh, Darker is the greatest.
They're just three everywhere we go, are we obvious?
Guys, I have a genuine inquiry.
A bone I would like to pick. So this means, look you guys. Can we toss the second shot? Does everyone have some time?
I have an inquiry. An inquiry. If I may.
If you're indulge me.
No, it's by right now.
So critical massive energy that so paper X lost to Veral
All right paper X lost to Veral
and
everyone's like I
Said Veral was good like Veral played really well. They deserved it whatever and
People were like in my trap people were like
Dude like Veral shit. That's embarrassing that paper like paper X lost to Veral and then Veral got
dismantled them their next game. Who the fuck did they play? They fucking got owned. It was a T1.
They lost the T1, I think. Right? They lost the T1.
Yeah, they got destroyed. And everyone's like, Paper X lost to this. But G2 loses, or sorry,
And Leve lose to G2.
No one says anything about Leve?
I just don't get it.
G2 was having a terrible run up until that point.
Like G2 was not a good team in a sense like they were not playing well overall.
They were pretty much projected to lose out.
And then they beat Lev, basically destroyed Lev actually,
not just the, they 13-3'd them on the final map or 13-4 or whatever.
Right? Am I thinking of the right game?
What am I thinking of?
I'm not saying love is bad, by the way.
I just don't like the double standard.
Like I don't agree that love is bad.
I disagree with that concept.
Love is great.
But they like slumped a little bit towards it.
They kind of got figured out.
Let's put it that way.
They kind of got figured out towards the end.
I just don't like the double standard.
Like if you're going to treat one team a certain way with a high expectations, treat everyone
like that.
My other inquiry is this.
This is my other inquiry chat.
Why are these 100 Thieves fans, like the diehard fans, so mad?
Why do they feel like they need an enemy?
Let's just chill.
We're happy for you.
Like, I'll glaze 100 thieves, and if you don't glaze them, if you criticize even one little
thing to get mad at me, stop getting mad at me.
I'm on your side.
I'm talking about the vocal ones. I'm not talking about everyone obviously. I'm talking about the chatters
Lev fans been getting baby by the community there are three and seven against top four teams in Americas
Bro, do you guys have to understand, it's the nature of this video game that you're not
going to win every single match.
When are we going to realize this?
Teams are going to go on runs, and then they're going to fall off, and then they're going
to go on runs again.
Then they're going to fall off.
They're going to go on runs again.
That's it.
This is the video game.
That's just how it is.
This has been the game.
And it's becoming more and more like that.
If a team gets a 3-1 start, it's very difficult to recover from with this meta.
What the fuck?
What's so confusing about this?
Well, I'm talking about the good teams, like obviously.
Like the good teams, the top top teams will still have bad periods.
Naughtyam is a good example because they're back in form again, yeah.
I mean, yeah, and it depends when you fall out of form.
It happens at any random time.
Sometimes it comes off of just losing one game and all of a sudden like you overthink
things, you try to change too many things, or maybe you don't change enough and you don't
hit the right balance and all of a sudden you go on a losing streak. It's very, very, very like
natural course of action, natural order of things.
Right now it's 100 thieves time and we're happy. We're happy for you, man.
I don't know if I've seen any kind of hate towards 100 thieves playing well.
This is a likable team, guys.
We fuck with this team.
Do you think PaperX are in form right now?
Individually?
No.
Not anywhere near what they can be, but I think they know that too.
Obviously this team is obviously like, look, when you fall out of form, it's not just your
aim that suffers.
It's your decision making and the fights you end up taking.
It all looks bad.
And when that looks bad, the whole team looks bad.
And but that happens to every team.
So I'm not worried about them because of it.
I don't know why if there isn't, I'm talking about my chat though, I'm not talking about
these guys, I'm talking about my chatters.
So I say thanks for the constant start playing Valorant, the start of the year and I finally
reached ascendance going for immortal and then taking a break for improving myself.
Marinelsson has been put in watch parties, I hope he's a thank you man, appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm glad. Keep it up, bro.
So he basically said that this is not something that they don't practice, so they practice tactics
of forest strategies but also how to control the emotion, how to control the nerves and this is
what I think is important. So two matches, PaperX vs. Ferrell and G3 Leve was very different
because PaperX had a chance to secure, so it was an important game. They didn't show their
But on the other hand, G2 hasn't secured a place for chance.
Yeah, I mean, but I'm not gonna give PaperX the excuse that they're allowed to play bad
because of that, of just because, I see what you're saying.
But I didn't even make an excuse that, oh yeah, okay, I'm obviously trolling when I
say PaperX isn't trying.
Every team is trying to keep, it's always better to stay informed for as long as possible.
You don't want to fall out of form and lose like four matches in a row.
Nobody wants that.
All right.
Obviously, I'm trolling when I say, oh, we're not trying.
PaperX isn't trying.
They obviously don't care.
That's not true.
That's obviously just not true.
Anyone that's taken me seriously saying that,
you need to get a grip.
Everybody wants to win.
Everyone needs to stay informed
because it's so easy when you fall out of form
to stay bad.
It's so hard to get back to your actual level again
once you fall out of form.
Sorry, I was just going to stab him when I shot the pin.
Wow.
This guy's a beast.
He has such a good game.
Max impact game.
Hurley is the fucking best.
This guy deserves more recognition.
Can you try and have some sort of reason how Lev is one of the best by not being at
checks?
Sure, I can do that for you.
They have, if you watch the game, if you watch a Lev match without looking at straight numbers
of like their current down period where they've lost a couple of games.
Their overall playstyle and the way they play is being copied by almost every single team.
That alone.
That alone should tell you how good this team is.
All right.
On top of that, their individual skill on the team.
You have Neon, who is pretty much still one of the best, if not the best player in the
world.
All right.
You have Spikesin, who creates an insane amount of space, definitely one of the best
Neons in the world.
You have King, who, everyone's in form overall, and Lev, at least in my opinion.
Like, if Lev goes to a tournament right now, I think they're getting top 4.
I can guarantee you, they are getting that top 4.
Literally, everyone is using currently, not everyone, but almost all teams, are using
the Lev Playbook on almost every map that they play also, that Lev is also playing.
So no one would be using your blueprint if you weren't the best team.
Sato, one of the best phoenixes, now again, I've said this a million times, just because
a team has a dip in form does not make them bad all of a sudden.
You guys are literally claiming, claiming that Lev is shit or don't deserve to go.
Some of you.
But and I don't know about deserve, the word deserve is weird because it's like, if loud
went out, then they deserve to go, whatever.
But, Leve is a team that, like, in my opinion is on the same level as every other team going
to champs, if not better.
If you are arguing that Leve isn't on the same level as almost every team going to champs,
if not better, I don't know what to tell you.
I can't argue with you there.
He made it.
When you're pop flashing the retake through Boba, like he's trying to talk about it.
Because some teams that are going to champs are very out of form.
they made it from points, right? You can say the same thing about PaperX currently.
I'm here with the coach of NRG, Bonkar. So I'm here joined by Bonkar, coach of NRG.
And the question is about how the team is feeling, and how the backstage is going.
So how's it feeling right now after the tough run, and how was the backstage conversation for you?
Conversation is good, we're feeling fine. It's just a little bit frustrating because a lot of
the rounds we're losing is we're just not trading out well enough. We have the reads, or sometimes
We're going into the stack and they're just winning the trades every single time so a little bit frustrating because there's again a lot of
Routes should be going out away. We feel like I agree. They've had a lot of advantages
They've had a ton of advantages that they've lost
Due to like poor utility or poor scaling very small things that ended up making a big difference in the run I
Mean there's a new best team in the world every two weeks right now
There is literally a new best team in the world every two weeks.
Like, I don't know how you're going to sit here and say like, oh,
this is the best team or this team deserves to go to champs.
Like this champs is so brain dead competitive that there are teams that
should be going to, you would think should be at champs that aren't even going.
Just good teams.
It's just good.
Everyone is good right now.
Like so many good teams.
There's some teams that have made it off points that are out of form though, for sure.
Hi, Selena.
Hello.
There's no way someone's just said GE.
What do you mean?
good. Geez, solid as fuck.
Billion NRG leader IGL to bring them back in this series. Would it be the first time
to...
You know what I believe? I believe people are just bad because their favorite team might
not be going.
I feel like their frustration is pent up from that.
he came up with he is still here today the only two-time champions winner but
standing opposite him IGL for loud air day who in his own words is destined
for greatness we're headed to summit a staging ground for both teams to be
playing at their heat energy flawless here 3-0 loud 3-1 only lost 100
The map that both teams like to lean on, they have figured it out for a lot of teams that have been lagging behind.
To me, from loud, the result against G2 was the most decisive in their summit run so far.
It's pretty simple, but 22.
Most obvious reverse sweep?
I am.
I don't think it's going to be obvious reverse sweep though.
I think loud closes it.
But let's be clear, the rest of this map pool...
They look insane individually.
You know what makes me so sure Loud is going to close this out is just the fact that unless
there's a mental boom somewhere with like four clutches going energy's way, it's the
fact that they've won so many disadvantage rounds.
Individually, they just look insane right now.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow, he's a pistol round demon when he's playing chamber
Working into the side key go only defender free bomb site stage wall route it out needs to give up that space
He go wants to get through this wall at some point
No choice, but the very quickly give grabs. They're still clearing like flank and shit making sure there's no lurkers
It's still retakeable if they can cleanly kill TK's in here.
Oh!
Nevermind.
Only way Lab loses this game is this best of five is if they get too overconfident and
start doing dumb shit.
Only way.
Only way is if they're not humble randomly.
fans who want lucha to be the torchbearer for brazil moving forward leading the next
they're too good right now they're way too good the way that they've been connecting
to him as a player personally over the last couple of months he is forming a bond with
everyone in this arena he is becoming the player that they want to see at the top representing
their region he's got the skill to do it and he's getting first blood after first blood
What is the energy answer?
Oh, you've got to be joking.
He just has a sixth sense for it.
I knew he was going to die.
I knew he was going to die.
The player you want to kill.
Someone better turn two-dimensional than give another kill to Luke Shaw.
If they lose this, dude, if they lose this bonus, I think this is going to be like an 11-1-2.
He's fighting.
He's uncanny
Intuit the cross behind the side too much momentum make sure that there's an extra all tour they're too fucking good over to the
louder machine
Yeah, by the way, this is the worst game. This is the worst
Or best if you're betting on like what you think are underdogs on paper
This is the worst time to ever do sports betting on Valoran to do this right now the series
You don't have a fucking clue who's gonna win going out of close everyone
What is the stabilizing moment? Where do they rally back? It has to be our son. It's just not a good time
It has to be right now. They can't afford to lose the loud
Go open it here with a slide in the tickets in to turn this into a trade and also get a better weapon potentially for look show
Yes, he's gonna ball doctor hand now as Brock plays himself into the fast lane, but
He's in gets back off the line and fights the kill
Lovely.
Oh boy.
Another diabolical anti-bonus here for NRG so far.
Sees a well and truly behind the pace.
Are they saving?
Of course they're saving.
What is the other option relegated to a healthy save?
What would you like them to do?
Pain for Ethan and Scuba.
No opportunity to get themselves involved in the round
And now just have to slowly wait for it to end do you the competition will be closer next year. Oh, yeah
I think it's gonna stay pretty much similar. Yeah, just we are just getting better and better
Teams are getting better and better
The infrastructure and structure in general for these teams are getting better and better
so I
Don't think there'll be one team that's just way ahead of everybody else
But again momentum matters so in tournaments you might see like a run happen
And they'll look and say they'll look like they're full hive mind
Everyone playing it sick
That's momentum
It's hard to figure out a dynasty in Valorant because they keep changing the game, of course.
Very difficult now especially.
Earlier, maybe not because, you know, Counter-Strike players in my opinion had a little bit of an advantage,
probably a big advantage in how much they competed in CS and like the macro of the game.
Now though, with everyone having figured things out, it's very hard to create a dynasty now.
I would say it's pretty much impossible.
It's a little harder since FES games are really random inside, I mean, yeah.
When players get this skilled and the game gets to a point where it's like 5-10 years ahead,
or like 5-10 years into its, you know, life, then it's pretty difficult to...
Like a lot of players are going to be good, therefore a lot of teams are going to be good,
and have bigger things out, so people are going to be a lot closer.
Competition will be a lot closer than it would be in the beginning.
It's chaos times Ethan's Phoenix because some some people are just like either half prior experience another FPS games are faster learners
than others
So early on in a game. It's hard to judge
That's pretty inefficient from Laos perspective especially into
Landon's now
Like the calls I was making back in 2022
Most of these teams just couldn't even dream up
Now, they're doing it in ranked. They're doing the same calls I was calling in 20 seconds,
even in matches in ranked.
It was very easy to outplay back then, calling was. And obviously I had insane teammates who were also mid-rounding.
This makes it easy, but we also had prior experience in CS
So there's an advantage there now though
That should don't matter
is taken out and there's a way to wrap around this holly
way to pressure Kiko and he knows it
trying to play his life
trying to play for time
playing a dangerous dangerous game as loud
come hunting
you missed gifted
did I
yabby thank you for the fire
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
played to the time that they have
thank you
we're all five guys and I'll fix this
yes yeah
slowly close the vice grip on Kiko
Scuba not quite shelt enough. I played with rushes in CS, EA and CS
And so it's back to sport and brooding
Second time scuba is forced to take a save
So it's saying finesse 23-3 run was easy for them. What the next round no options
I'm not saying it's easy. Scuba was easy easier than it is now
Energy on map 1.
That base play, Sentinel play was really superb.
Constant multi-kills on attack, great flank timings.
But yet to get involved on this Cypher,
and not really by any fault of his own.
Light up, just avoiding him.
Times like this I'm aware of the weight
of what NRG's up against.
It does feel like the other villains here, they know it.
They've acknowledged it.
The crowd reminds him at every single turn.
Loud.
Blade forward out of the conference.
What a decision, Archimage.
And this healing is a freedom.
I think we got to start gambling.
I'm going to be honest, they're kidding kind of guy diffs.
They got to start gambling.
Gamble traps.
Get more players on bombsites and then just,
if their reads are correct, then they end up cleaning out
the round, you know?
Like from, like, stopping the hits at the choke point.
Like, right now they're about to APOP, you need to stop the hit here.
K-Kills, and he lived.
He's usual.
Yo, this guy's moving.
Kiko
That comes down to scuba finally getting an opportunity to play some valorant on this summit map
working around the utility
Denied to cuisine getting that me on my space creator removed for the attacking side
Already has them in such a rough
Disadvantaged position
The rest of it are you just warm in that keeps loud stuff about really small choke point
So tough to get out of without having your duelist claiming the space
You have the makings of an energy come back
Mentally a very stable team
They're not a team to get one to in a row scream at the train to get up and going to the doldrums
When things are tough
the
same middle of the scene by the silver drone the base of the
This is the team that starts the no-waltz either team for santiago
via reverse comeback bo5
They know what it takes big kill kiko wants to play for that trophy
He's on the line that has to give it away loud. They want to execute. They want to play on that
Wow neon is fucked that's so much more the map from darker
That flash was so good though.
That Omen Blind was perfect.
Actually perfect.
Why are we not fighting for A?
That's a good question, I don't know.
I think you gotta stop these hits at choke points.
I really do.
I really think NRG's gonna start gambling a little bit.
I guess they kind of gammled either. They had Cypher trips there and they played three there.
But then the guy has to play retake and load.
a little bit out of it that looks shell shocked two players who i feel like i've seen everything
there is to see in vaderik i've never seen anything like this loud team this is a regular
a split i'm not sure i have either
lead by four rounds down that crowd bro overwatch of that smoke attack has been
hits him from the top road broke up to his old tricks here the odin rings out and
the
only one more is insane
as a
one of the
to
the
It's gonna be here
Just like that the image is gone
Insane
Max flow state unstoppable maximum fucking a crowd energy just there's like good everything's flowing
They're playing perfect, they're getting all the entries.
And even when it's like hard to win the round, it just looks so easy.
I'm telling you, energy, all energy can do is gamble.
They have to stop hits at choke points.
These mid rounds are always going to go in favor of loud, I'm sorry.
Right now, just the way loud is playing, they're too, it's too difficult.
You got to gain some momentum and the only way is to gamble right now.
Just form and gamble.
I don't care if they do like a trap at a choke point or just play to hold the choke point,
but they cannot let loud play the way they're playing right now and keep getting these like
ones.
So many 1v1s being given up by energy with no way of trading.
If they lose around that next one.
Brok getting 2 there was a miracle in itself.
The rest of them, they understand what went wrong and how to immediately adjust it.
4 on A, Cypher B solo, sure. Just play retake on a site completely and over stack the fuck out of one site.
If they hit that site, you win. If they don't, you 5v5 retake, and you just play like, like, Lev retakes. That's it.
Unless they have, like, ults in that situation, you could be a little bit different, but...
I don't think Energy Blitz any other way.
Loud is way better than Acura at the moment, especially in the mid-round.
a tough season for MIBR and NRG are a big part of that, but that kickoff reverse sweep that qualified them for Santiago.
NRG will already be your champions.
Is there a common demon that's lost to map losses?
Because that's what they do.
I would, I'm going to say just...
The crowd on the other hand are playing for their entire season.
The crowd is playing well as a team, has gotten better and better as a team,
but I truly believe those clutches were everything.
Those individual clutches have given them so much confidence.
Cloud, this is everything. Luke shows lack to pull himself away there.
down to a poultry tendo like that's been the wind con I think we need to be
rearranged all this could be dangerous the clutch on Sunset from darker
for Kiko
orbital strike will stop any ingressable that be started up in his
brawl could have a sphere a lot of these NRG also if NRG lose this round bro
yielding results in a chaos of that B-link choke point NRG are able to come up
with the goods it was a great off from Brock that was a nice setup though let's
come up with this round win it's two ultimate the hunter's fury and the
orbital strike clean around here best they have in their arsenal though in
advantage of this energy compass that they are just dense with high power
ultimate this is making this pro-plot in that I played for too long an alternate
win condition at least played for like very long so I enjoyed but I'm here the
options are very scarce I mean I always enjoyed watching but Luke shows 10
health Davi trying to come in behind of the display thank you for the openings
but Kiko's got some valuable information about this rotation towards the
B-side of lying in wait. Kiko's now be dealt with this a pretty big
horse as Davi gets up behind it trying to get aggressive but Martin will shut
him down it's Luke's show for a live end up modified or what actually every angle
It has to start here. I really think NRG's got it like, you know, 6-6 this off.
They got a game like, Andy kind of momentum back.
We're taking it away from Lout at least.
That was a nice setup though. Good call to Bunker.
series. Finally clawing just a couple rounds back. Like I said at the cost of some ultimates
but they'll do whatever it takes. Loud back to very slow play. Loud of him playing like
champions is their birthright as a team. They fake and be default. Pop it. Never mind, it's
not really slow play. They are trying to bait out Uto though. They are trying to bait out
Uto though. Destined to win champions to be a valorant
great and when he speaks about it he just has a pressure to be neon pressure to
a confidence you know now it's not the real he doesn't take him to space the
whole time oh god he's a just gotta live here never cared the fairy tales though
never can't prepare me to see that they've written their story big KO nice
simply for refusal to lose big info brim rotates back to be this is looking good
as per energy
No, not you, not you
You have to kill off Kiko, you have to
You have to
Taking liberties, 1v1s, in, Spock, in, Rock, what am I supposed to say to that?
Nice scuba to give back into the round who has just been having a painful experience on Summit.
He is begging, bleeding to get involved in some of these anchoring situations,
but being denied the opportunity to help his team.
His team would just look helpless under the parade of loud utility.
Unable to be broken, Ethan, the freest kill of all time for Tickazine with that overdrive.
He's had to give it up. He couldn't even try and play a crossfire with his captain
Paranoia, he can just yeah, he can just stuck no one no I breakers because no one's having
the chest is loud are really just on the verge of making this happen making the champions qualification happen
One for one in man. No way brought goes, but he's on the corner looking for the spray but that should be safe
Oh, that Molly is the well done from keep it will take that wish and if I could have all tonight
No, but did he not have all there till he doubt was in fact not safe
I mean, it's possible. Very possible. They're in Brazil. They're playing fucking really
well, they would match up walters and other teams I think
they're both both teams have consistent players at the moment
very informed players
do you think he looks the other team?
yeah right, yeah right, the day that happens
I think my parents if I made my parents an account they would get the helix before I would
Greetings MVP for 100 views without a doubt Asuna not even close to a doubt. I think he's one of if not the best player
This guy's doing God's work.
The amount of space that he's creating for his team to do what they're doing.
Oh wow, they just walk in and kill everyone.
They literally all walked in different directions and killed one other once.
Timber just walking up.
This team's so ready willing to take contact with preset crossfires.
Walking up through those smokes and getting their hands dirty.
Decisive half for Loud. Can it close it out with nine rounds?
Work an energy, dig deep to at least get four. At least have something to play with when the sides swap.
the deficit might just be too great to see them it's cool to see what loud is
actually capable is at their best chance to do something right he's been
waiting for that opportunity he has been a non-factor on this Cypher majority of
the time but if the beat comes through main he could pop off here we go now in
the side scuba can fight for this time a case of TV scuba got one more
to say the very least and he didn't make sure so far now a nightfall that's
gonna be mostly got to wait from he didn't mark but I would hear and see
He's coming from a mile of a decisive answer here for a 19 she's told it happy to stay alive in this series
for defense side rounds by bad be hits are really tough to execute comparison attacks cross other lanes in the map
And they run right into the school to Cyprus setup good utility from Ethan to supplement
His anchoring as well. No one's breaking the side. Oh, it's so hard to break those all it's so far
It's on the ball forward into the cyber cage and RG may be earning themselves a lifeline into this second half
But overall
It's all loud the attack side calling from Erdogan was fantastic
And Ethan has to match that on the side swap with no timeouts left to boot can energy stay alive
Double sentiment again, not necessarily like she look at this is always gonna be double controller. It's mad dependent
It's almost always going to be double controller. I mean almost always not always, but I think it's pretty necessary to have two controllers specifically the harbor and the harbor is like very needed.
On that map.
What do you think energy is going to drop if they drop someone?
Uh, Kiko.
If they did.
More, more he could just like I mean he could easily find another team anywhere.
So you think he goes shit, you know, I actually think it's insane, but I think I might be our
players are insane.
And that didn't work.
I
Just saw him come back now
Not necessarily doesn't fit well I
I just, you were, I was asked a question, I was literally asked a question if they dropped
someone who do you think it would be and I think that it would be Kiko, that is my answer.
I think the others are, have had success with each other, Kiko is the only one that hasn't
had that level success with him.
Let's get our second half underway, lock him with the number one VPN, express VPN, get
the QR code on your screen for more details. So Polo has seen Loud come agonizingly close
before. Three and a half years later the city doesn't get to simply watch their team chase
the trophy. It must first help them earn the right to chase the world championship. That's
what waits on the other side of a loud wind here on summit.
drop for free no damage done. We got to take the back of the site though. These are good
traits. Great traits. Good job. It's honestly a great job. He can still win this though.
You really can't still win this.
You can easily make this 2-1-b once.
Rock Eagle.
Butter, thank you for the prom.
If you're a Brazilian fan, would you rather have Loud or Levgo?
Uh, I'm a bigger fan of Loud.
Because they are more of an underdog.
Then I, and Lev has already won a tournament.
This here.
Can't be too greedy.
It's not a Brazilian fan, I don't want Loud to go.
Defenders is always something to keep you in that choke. It's like a little line up there from Fico
Rubington would be pleased
Loud walking down mood
But I think I mean me personally and not being like I'm not Brazilian fan. I would like to see left by any
Defenders, I would like to see left play in this tournament. I would like to see both
They're trying to hold on to this brimstone spokesman so long
Let's loud have a kill. Let's give a look show some
Boy look show
To derail look at the dreadful HP
What are we doing?
47 in health
That's gone progressively uglier for energy
Up close with the stinger feels good against O-Ren. He's heard this movement from the sage
Chola peek from her day doesn't know he's gonna be here. No, not ready flash right now for even
Recovering doesn't matter green spray correction. Okay. Now we have a game ask an RG can be only so happy
picking up that round win
It is not a friend. Thank you the problem a room for failure moving forward
with them requiring to just pull by across the board spend a lot of money
which would be forced into a kind of awkward half by it's gonna be tough
I guess he just wanted to isolate the one guy that was flanking so they don't
worry about it but he is also taking a 1D1 there
they've got the stringer so they just want to go fast they want to get a lot
of right in the face of the tanker shut down by Parker stop the hit at the choke point baby
That's what I like to see, you get treated by energy though.
They're seeing? Yeah, they're sawing.
They don't think they saw.
They didn't see him.
Uh... guys?
Let's go.
Good ol'
He was there, worth it, worth it.
Very worth it.
Does he have it?
No.
Yeah.
That's gonna say...
Close-fired it up. Very, very close.
If he had a Sage slow, did he have a Sage slow? If he slows main, then walls?
Does he have enough time to just fully diffuse? I don't think Broncos would be able to get to him.
He does have slows, yeah. I guess that would have been the best play.
I think he would have been able to defuse with a slow and a wall.
Like without Brock getting anywhere near him, does he even kill him?
Made it up, maybe.
It's still living hard.
Very hard in the middle, yeah, very hindsight.
It was fine what he did.
did good to break the wall and then just hide.
How did Laun turn around their fortunes?
This is their best?
This is what's happening?
watch like a team like Meryl, a team like, let's say, let's think of a team that's like
kind of there, but like not there yet.
Yeah, like, let's say BBL, right? BBL.
If you watch BBL at their best, they're probably capable of getting a top four if they're playing at their best.
These tier 1 teams that are on like the top 6 of their region, if they are playing at their very best, are capable of winning an event.
That's how good these players are.
If they can carry that momentum forward.
I have one, I have one left.
The wall's holding right, could be left so they're weird.
I'm gonna drone from here, I wanna go.
He's walked up mid solo.
Nothing, could be pit.
Can't come back, you guys back in.
I'm out, we're out.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'm out, I'm out.
I'm out, I'm out.
I'm out, I'm out.
I'm out.

Take that.
Two spawn.

Nah, try and make a gamble.
They've got a pretty weak buy.
The NRG snipped them out and hit the empty sites,
creating an impossible retake scenario for the defenders.
Stick a little two piece for Brock,
topping the board as he adds very often for NRG in stage two.
Has been statistically their best performer,
ITES best performer.
He is in peak form late 2026.
What is the plan though for loud from Roman Italy timeout called just before that last round in theory
It was supposed to answer this I hit from energy this big exit
It's well-placed slow worms could be the answer of Karate way that connects up to multiple players could deny them
I was gonna say they should cancel it. He's playing around this sports force energy. I see they had to be the stage wall
That's part of the plan for loud. Oh my god. Look at her. Did I think it's gonna walk through a man
Here if you're NRG that you're 30 seconds into the round though you get out the wall you get out a slow warband of paranoia
They pump fake
Now okay, re-hitting and stuff is going back to me. I love you. Did they make any be pressure at the start all device left
I mean it's out from one slow was a stone from I think it makes me nervous as they put no be pressure
How can they be so sure it is like
Putting together some more than competent anchoring the wall still in place for now
They trade though. That was a good trade by Adam though.
Wow. What a hold.
What a clean fucking hold.
Not even really a utility used.
They just own them.
Just peeking off each other.
You
Full strength is energy are gonna be on that kind of rounds finally stop the energy momentum
They just try to run into a full B execute
I just do it
This ran I G have a privilege of being past seven rushing me. That's a lot for brook at the ready to catch people crossing into this B site
but ultimately
It's only speculating. Darker trying to play out from tower. This is dangerous dangerous business. Get some reason like you go though
It's more than twice the one that
His energy will take up residence in B. Loud really don't have an anchor option that time
Guess the shorty eventually
And he's impassive about it just another day at the office now would be insane if David David won the 2v1
I want to make the unthinkable
Hatterpillar, it's Javi B. Bounders out of the smoke. Wow. What the fucking back and forth was that ready?
Luke show makes a play Ethan gets back in a drop he makes a play
There for the team when they needed him to be individually sprayed down as just
stunning
Prefire to connect onto the second knows the darker is on the way
It's the slightest of adjustments to get that instant headshot
But he absolutely bailed them out. That is
That aesthetically respect for energy and giving up
From the two-time champion winner the only one in the game trying to bring his team back into it
They're they alone on a pressure is coming his way as well
Well, I cannot believe it. He gets away with it. I actually cannot believe it. It's not
of the
mostly
to the shocking resolution of the
closing by a cap is the
one in the lines largest had no
reason to believe the bottom of
the list of the system,
the
now that they have the info on
air they and despite being all
the way over on that the side
of force to
start cut off
where they have to go for seriously disadvantageous retake, just to save.
And this is what NRG do when they get that foothold in the game, it is very hard.
To shake it loose.
By losing out on chance to be crazy, I would.
It would be crazy.
There's another mole to whack, another question to answer.
Another facet to NRG's attack side.
At that point, we just pray that loud ends up staying in this like kind of maintain this
This playstyle on this form. If they can then it'll still be good games when loud plays
There it is feeling some of the pain
The loud and flicks that the NRG countless times in the first half just having to save over and over
This denies the one gun. This NRG's economy isn't
completely off the ground floor yeah still in it's nice and see they get it's
about that round score yeah I'm starting to agree with that sentence I agree I
think I wouldn't be I wouldn't mind either teams level or not at this point
just based off of how good they are and how how well they can play at their peak
doesn't care about one really make a difference to me now towards defenders
seeing them doing this versus NRG G2 absolutely no reason to believe that
Mada would be there just digging a little bit deeper into the playbook for that
one I'm fighting pretty deep into the back here I mean junior thank you the
5-2 man, there's an Amy, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thanks for the 5-2 bro
Thanks, thanks very much, thanks
I mean, Ethan knows, Ethan knows it's here
This doesn't matter, just does not matter
This is the perfect crosshair placement
Didn't even have yes cable. Wow
You might need to do more here why it's super up on the angle he's seen a bit of leg
Skuba I was a lovely little P and they had be for free up down
How do I respond? How do they take some of this space back?
He thought he had a better timing than he did
This money's gonna make it harder for them to fight out
It's too risky though, man, to run like this.
Scuba has won them this round.
Scuba has literally won them this round.
By himself.
Just put something together that is your magic on these execs
They're impossible to deal with
And then the setup the variation think they've done it I think they've done it I do think energy probably when the stop here
Ridiculous, it's as loud as broke
Energy still has the cable all right. Yeah, I have any interests and making that data reservation
Get out of this series!
Hey, why are you fucking jinxing? What the fuck?
You jinxing for no reason, man. You're playing so well.
Last time out here on Summit.
They don't need to be conducive.
Shut up.
Shut your fucking mouth.
What is the call going to be? It's NRG
been out a really bully into that B-side now.
Force Loud to play back
towards Spawn with that U-Till.
Bring them down one by one as they emerge.
Lucio gave them a window, an opportunity in that round.
We're not having a cap of life.
We're not having to capitalize.
You think the Masters winners should get a slot in champs?
I know. I've seen this a lot, guys.
I've seen this narrative a lot.
No, I don't. Because consistency is like a huge factor in this game.
And if you're just giving away slots, then...
No, I mean...
Three months is a long time in this game, man.
You can fall out of form as you've clearly seen.
You gotta earn it. You gotta earn every event.
rifle but the smoke in play was still too much. Look at Adam go. They out have
certainly been thrown caution to the wind. Alright, let's play for OZ.
They're looking more like a hurricane now as they will be landing on this B side.
Oh yes. They're mad. Insolventing Jiren, Inclusion. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Infusion of funds for Scoobers Coppers.
NRG just finally getting to a map that is definitively at the top of their pool.
And that is going to need security on his way out. Get in for this series
It could be the catalyst of them once again in 2026
Running back an entire be your five full reverse sweep. We know they can do it. They know they can do it
And they might just do it because they can not because they need to
the
just just never count the same as the state and you know the other
somehow some way from 71 down the figure this map out
this crowd of reasons to go home happy today it's got a little quiet here that's
to be believed to have the last few rounds that point a pop lot of known
what it's like to be cheered every step of the way win every step of the way so
far they have been flawless here in Brazil can they take this game to over
talk to cuisine he is caught doesn't know what to do yeah you didn't know it
I need to know where to look.
OK, energy with each.
All of our court on the outside now,
looking at a no day runs into a crosshair.
As this is what NRG do.
Asphyxiating, extenuating, slowly draining your vitals.
Discipline.
Well done.
In no position to command respect.
All I can do is try and fight back.
NRG, begin the campaign.
Great comeback.
There are the villains here in South Parlor.
Insane comeback actually. I really thought it was over.
Jeref Bungo, thank you for the 25 gifted. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you brother.
Now is this is the reverse sweet possibility?
word with mana. We got Haven Lotus. It is a 13-9 energy that could be coming back,
Mata. A slow starter, you've been in this position before. Kick up, you were playing
against MIBR, it was a reverse sweep that you made. Thank you, by the way. You can never
count us out. We started off very slowly the last two days, but it's fine. We know how
good we are and if we play how we normally do, we should be alright. Should we expect
Any changes for Haven?
Any changes?
No, I don't think so.
Hmm, we'll see.
Thank you so much.
Alpha will thank the tier one.
Nah.
I mean, did Energy win both pistols on Summit or no?
I just check what I'm doing.
Why does it do this?
Why does my PC do this?
What's going on?
Give me a second.
OK.
Okay, uh, nope. Nope. Kidding.
Sam. Oh, there's six one.
11.
Yeah, we're watching Pacific. We are, we are, we are, we are.
It's a grand final, boys.
We don't miss grand finals.
I want both 11 allowed to make champs, yeah, see, that's like a fair n-
you
you
you
you
you
you
I don't even know.
Uh, Mitchell, thank you for the problem.
Not at their best energy at their worst, that should say enough.
Our energy at their worst though, they're playing pretty overall like, okay.
You have to also understand when a team is playing badly or something and you say that
worst you still have to credit the opponent as well like making them play that way like
loud is kind of owning them too it's not just like one or the other it's always both
so you can't just take it away from loud that oh energy's playing bad or like energy's
not good therefore or like energy's out of form or they're not playing well right now
now. There's a reason that's the case in this game right now. You said something, you said
something about champs is about consistency, but what about KC and loud and global eSports?
What?
Champs is about consistency, but what about Casey Loud and GE?
What about him?
What does one have to do with the other?
We haven't even had- we were not at Champs yet.
What the fuck are these questions right now?
Am I brain dead or am I not underst- are you saying shit wrong?
And it's always a one-for-one trade. They completely neutralize it.
The last semi-opsies you team's played, that was 8 days ago, when Energy beat them in the upper bracket.
But they did really well, it was on maps where Luke Show was playing in the chamber.
They would always group in that way, fight together, push into him, force him to go into that DP.
I think he's saying, just answer this though, like, you have to pick one.
If the question is simple, who has the better chance of winning champs, louder left, who would you pick?
If it's absolutely just, you have to pick one.
Oh yeah, pick left. If that's what you're asking.
Yeah, obviously I would think the loud live has a better chance of winning chance than loud does
But that doesn't mean
That's one team deserves it over the other because of the system that we're playing in right?
That's what I'm trying. That's what I'm trying to say like if loud earn their way through chance put through points
Lev put Lev did this to themselves. Can we just
Because Lev is in the situation they are in because of Lev and no one else.
We cannot just excuse that point.
That has nothing to do with Loud and what they're doing.
So Loud making champs over Lev should not like take away anything from Loud.
You shouldn't be saying that Loud shouldn't be there, you know what I mean?
And at the end of the day, if Loud continued to play like this, I'm happy to watch Loud
play.
I FEAR, however, is maybe loud fall off, go back to their old, like, how they started,
and then it's like fucked.
Like versus international teams.
That's the gamble.
Whereas it's less of a gamble with Lev because I've already seen Lev versus international
teams.
We got a free energy classic.
Oh, me too.
Dog.
Yeah, I think if we win Haven, we win.
I think if we win this next map, we win Lotus, no?
Oh, gifting you guys a hug.
I think if we win Haven, we win.
I think if we win this next map, we win Lotus, no?
Oh, gifting you guys a hundred! Thank you for reminding me.
Um, give me a second.
Holy shit, I completely forgot.
I actually forgot, sorry.
This is for skipping yesterday, by the way.
This is for skipping yesterday.
Oh my god, I just heard myself, ew.
What was that?
Let's hear the fuck out
Thing that they mirror on any other maps and it's been good for energy
But they haven't played it in a month
It hasn't been convincing to me even when they played it. They were not playing against opponents the caliber of loud
This was the Ethan Phoenix the last time we watched this important caveat
Yeah, which I don't know if I feel if you win a master's you should be guaranteed a slot to chance
I got it. I get why you think that like I think there's fair arguments for that. However
with Valorant specifically and how skilled these teams are and how many of them there are that are like good.
And because of like obviously it's only four teams per region.
And how much this game changes and how close everyone is in terms of skill.
And form, like form just matters so much.
So if a team that wins Masters, that accumulates that many points,
is then incapable of winning enough to just get themselves to champs off of points alone,
They pretty they dips like inform at that point
Steamroll over on the attacking side, I think that'll be very important for them
Of course the attack sides look fantastic for loud all day long
So the other question you could raise is how do they actually shut down NRG's attack?
But again, it's difficult because there's so little recent footage
HK, they knew tier one was.
Did you check the extended today?
Uh, today?
It's been swap at 8K or 7K and whatever.
I'd rather prefer a team which is consistent.
Over a team that, I mean, okay, then there's like, what, who's consistent this year?
You could say Lev, what did Lev do in the first event?
Did they get fourth?
Energy you love, Team Liquid Paper.
Love's been pretty consistent.
Energy's been consistent this year as well.
Paper X.
Outside of this current dip.
I've been pretty good this year.
Do teams want C1 to... I'm actually not sure how the seeding exactly works. I literally forgot.
So you think, can you answer why G2 got 9 championship points from winning Stage 1 and
Lev got 8 for winning Masters? It makes no sense why domestic tournaments would give
more. I agree with that. I think that is a completely fair thing to say. I don't think
domestic shit points should count as much as masters for sure I didn't even
know that was a the case
look when you guys make good points I will agree with you I'm not sitting here
trying to argue with you but some of you are so fucking out of this world
stupid that it's hard to not argue with some of it that right there that's a
good point I agree with you 100%
I'm not trying to raise my blood pressure anymore, guys.
I'm getting old.
All right.
But some of this shit that I see in chat, I think to myself, I don't know how you function
in everyday life.
Like, it makes me judge you.
I don't know how you...
Like, this is like, can you even tie your shoelaces moment?
Because you have time.
That's the thing.
It's not like a question you're asking instantly.
You have time to type something and then re-edit what you're typing, right? You have time and that's what you choose to set
Final off kickoff
They've been there. They've done that
They might be about to do it again
So the man osfossi was once the golden boy of Brazil
Ethan Phoenix, yeah nothing changed
show. This crowd hopes to become the next flag bearer for the Brazilian scene in Valorant.
Zed RG team are starting to heat up, they are starting to get real dangerous.
And the rest of the map pool is very favorable to them. On this map what has impressed me the most
is the fact that they beat Leviathan in a double-dualist mirror with Ethan Boughroll playing
Phoenix during the regular season. That was still when Levin had that unbeatable aura
after Santiago. The fact that NRG were able to overcome them here in a meta with a cop
that is out of their comfort zone is a testament to the glory of this team to be in the snow,
damn high. Parallel with Loud, you also-
How can we blame anyone else but Levin? Yeah, I mean, they would say the same thing then,
They've been on and today they don't make chances on them. They know that
The demand is loud to stand up
And on this fourth map dark is gonna move over to Phoenix. He'll be on duelist duty
Ernie picks up the open duty yet again could be an all-out brawl towards a means right off the jump
It was so a messy scuba though. He's aim is true
It backs about beautifully an energy get a flood in and retake this space Adam
Dominant joint for the defenders early
And as fast as they arrive there happy to get out except the reason
Maxed out what a name fight a desire to impose their will on the map
How did that go so fucking well were they all blind? Sorry? I didn't see the paranoia already on the pistol on the neon
Was it a Phoenix last the first site where he most compared to the others of the doublas
Oh, no, he just ran down a kill and then he's done them
It's light as well
Wearing it out in the woods. That's all out of them right there. That is all out of them right there
I think it was a big risk that energy only have like a winning map come up at that three
Almost basically opting into a scenario where they might have to reverse loop if things went the way you give us Bruno G back
No, no, no, no, no. He's nice. He's nice. Sorry, though. Thank you though. Thank you
and
a lot of us on the other side of the
same
, and it sure as what it is, see some more maturity of these guys
to the
twitch at levels of maturity right now
that must be dragged back from the break and we could be arriving at a point where being the villains to this crowd could be of benefits with NRG that are
burdenless in terms of champions qualification they are
playing to make the finals to win just because they can just because
wow we haven't looked at an America's trophy yet we could add one to the cabinet there's a little bit of room
I see default.
Oh, I got way more damage, though, they're still pressuring C.
Take fight, Kiko.
Man, he broke the trip as well.
Good default so far.
saw me leave is what he's calling so they could re-hit that. Leave him in there because
they might walk down C for extra info to contain. It's good default so far from load.
Only thing is they don't have mid space. Wow. They pressured C, picked A, and then now
They hit C
They kill huge kill actually let's tell them
Who energies all here though this could this what could we do something?
It could do something
It's due to the steps up. Oh, he's in gets into the back of the site. That's a real damage to dog. He's waiting
Wow, that was close. No, that was close. I was a really good rotate from energy. Very good
They're taking a lot of maneuvering in that round for loud as they know they're up against the Odin
Good calling from blotches. You know the right result in the ends both IGL is calling around each other
Yeah, I was good able to extract the aid you till loose end on C
Damn, it would have been insane if Tiki's in called them back to A there.
Like fake C, go back A. Like if Omen and Sova fake C with smokes at paranoia and a dart,
100% energy to stay C the whole time, and Tiki's in can run back into A, and they would
have A for free.
Honestly, they'll take that though.
That'll take this.
I
Don't take this some classic stage. I don't I don't I don't see a win-con for energy guys. I don't
That's the round safe
that should be enough now we know what those trades don't go your way and be if
you're not all literally ready to dare to trade or like insta flood it's already
over there's no way to win that was just ferocious the pace that they were
playing at lightning fast the execute so well drilled energy they'll have had a
chance to review that game understand to some extent what is going to be
Well, not them wait, they're not gonna get to save this
Variations of the execs that I were pulling out of the scrapbook against Buria
I feel like they still have more talk to me. He's dead
He gets the offense
Did he ult?
But at least got the weapon away from Brock. Hopefully. Oh boy. That's actually not good
Oh good
That's very very bad, but it's fine though. They won the round. They already know energies on eco so it's fine
Damn that flash would be impossible to dodge. I haven't seen teams do that
Instead of flashing out the window
They're flashing this right here.
And then he gets it.
But have you guys seen that? Or no?
Is that common? I don't think that's common.
This?
Really?
18
What flash so when they flash window to swing they flash right here they flash inside of the window
So it's a harder to like turn from for the big guys walking down
Or holding on this map where they just instead of flashing out the window, which is way easier
It's good enough.
That's actually, I'm gonna be honest, this is the first time I've seen that.
They're about to go for it.
My thing was pretty deep down sea long.
Can it be dealt with?
Yes.
Big trade though.
The dark is gone.
This is gonna yield that seaside control now on Hummus 3 from Davi.
They gotta get this bomb down with this ult.
And he retakes it.
Ethan exalts a clear barrage.
Now I'll throw it inside the smoke and tick his team.
That's a fucking huge kill, Ethan.
Ethan gets a pretty crucial kill.
Still no plan and there may not be one.
Wow.
has to face the music
And the flank ends the round sequence of pretty cool plays and a return Wow, they kept four alive as well was potentially yeah
Only a matter of time Odin off lands down
credit the scuba quick little peak deals with Luke show in mid
But then when the exit is on this just a series of through the individual decisions being made
He gets the kill blind to his own flash, really.
Thanks to ALT and now they see split.
of that is brutal look at the minimap right up there he could fall off this line get the shot
back to safety for now oh if you've gotten one though but he did get a lot of info for scene
for the herring flank that's a big trade very early as well now dabby's clear dabby's third
the flank so they can chill i think a reflank is necessary though i really don't think they
I think they retake this little reflank.
Oh, this Karinoye as well? No way.
Wait, he's gonna die.
Big... wow, what a retake.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie, that retake should not have been that easy.
This was traded
Darker can't be doing that
That's like a free even a free kill you've given away sir
So they're having a blast on the fucking coaching booth
Happy to just run out and back to be and when all else fails you just go back to be
They do know how to deal with them
Heavy flank again potentially just how they drew it up
And kickers already open the account favorably for energy
Forcing loud to run it up mid ready. Oh, there's gotten through. She goes away, though
Can he make use of this deep posting out of fighting for so much space but now being relegated back towards that
Oh my god. Oh my god, Ernie. Oh my god, Ernie. He's gonna clear all of C-Link for a scene. They can play off if they wanted. They're playing on, though.
They're about there. Two people flanking. They're coming to play down. Sorry about that. Yo, these retakes are too easy right now.
Mainly because they're getting this pick early, though.
If Luke shows dead, I feel like the rounds over. I'm not even gonna lie to you
Happen this round happened around prior
Three retakes in a row
Those are two retakes. Two retakes in a row.
Can we all agree our NRG takes Lotus? NRG's at Lotus is insane, however.
Or passively you less eager to take some of these early fights. I'm not making any predictions
Luke shows last time I saw Lucia play Lotus he started 11-1
Play to cut off or rotate later late backsab into an exec especially given that loud are just going for really fast plants
constantly you do expect it at some point to
Relax in the early round start playing for late round. Okay. Yeah, they did lose 12 or 13 rounds in a row
into the Lucero Chamber. It's been pretty a mess.
12 rounds of that.
You know, playing set-up device.
Someone on the FIPER? It's a double controller, Combs.
But obviously, that need him to stand up and be a good factor.
What do you do about these post plans?
I think Lucero's gonna stop taking these peaks.
He's gotta be alive for these posts.
That's why there's an emphasis on stopping them in any way they can.
this is a sea rush off the time I would see rush another post plan energy is
ready to flood they're already here and there in my god wait recoverable
never mind oh recoverable he's alive no this is too hard look at where he is
Look at the setup that energy have maneuvered themselves into
teleport from scuba
I have to drop down literally going on the world's longest comp at this point
This is calm massive delay. It's calm possessed you the discomfort just builds and builds for the last two energy players
They know that he could be anywhere taking this long. I mean they're gonna eventually look very extreme
Then again, he can't get this 1v1. All this is doing.
Absolutely shit on. Nice shot.
Yo, what's crazy is Loud didn't even tap the bomb, it looked like.
These guys just flew in the second they were ready.
Energy is playing off their own timings
Interesting that loud pick up the attack off again, and then I just go for a straight up exec so fast
Like you think they're gonna work the map slow down a little bit, but now they just
Right in there. I hope the Lucio is up
Retakes man
map mod up behind them in the attacker spawned and here they immediately have
Oh boy claiming it on c1 energy double flash you
oh my god loud has been bred so well theory watch for him this is getting out of hands
this is no one behind them the whole time they just run through way
wallhacks
we won't do mid I think
get two players over to C fast enough
well just previously no one was in the fight
to run into the smoke at the choke point
beat loud there, bot is already flanking through spawn
there's been no action but you look at the minimap
and just know a 90% chance of NRG are winning there
we're in confidence now
I mean let's be real. Louds doing it. Louds.
I don't know what else they have, but this is just B twice.
This is just ending B twice.
In those pockets those retakes with whether without ultimate or otherwise
I would have get these volta kills a break back in and you can see her day
Believes that he's entitled
To walk through this series get a victory and show up the champs. It's never that easy
This game is different if they didn't miss like that Phoenix all you know you actually I know that might be trolled
But it actually is a big deal
One extra life on that B post plan was to see one or the other
Honestly not a bad read from energy I would think it would I would think it's gonna be B2
Oh shit
making them go B with that ult
the loud is god of the faulty first
which they're doing which is good
oh boy
it's a big fucking kill man
he makes a knee on already here though they're not gonna give up the site
on this side of me can dirty not to talk up back to square one
not as well as the day got one
that doesn't matter so we'll have to reset from outside is a side they're gonna keep running
there's a lot of
that's not getting any time
nice try loud is not getting any time so they stop crying bomb
they just start they're fighting it out
now. NRG just keeps flooding then. That's a big kill to start it off, and then he himself
obviously gets one as well. Bobo, cario! Bobo! Bobo, Bobo, Bobo! Same thing again.
A star.
What is this?
What is this boy?
Oh, wow.
Four of us.
What's the plan here, exactly?
That's a nice setup, though.
He slides off the first kill, gets the second kill, and then A hits, just gone.
But Loud is dodging it.
is already all the way up B. Or sorry, Erdey. He's got to get out of here. He's got to
find a way to get out of here.
Decent damage though. Big kill. Big kill, they have B for free. No flood this time though.
Finally, Laos get a post plant where they got the entry and they have time to set up.
Oh shit.
That's a big kill.
I think that's the...
I was going to say it's the round running kill. What are we doing?
trying to force feed energy a face full of their own
um they lost
energy one again another retake
wow
they won so many fucking retakes
so many retakes
how do they win that?
at every site too
We'll not are forced to swing in office fights out nice shot. I'm saying shot
I look to the mid-map. I'm like, how does he know this?
He's are getting active
Quite a half from here
Shut down look show. We're keeping quiet for the summer that half
Energy when the pistol they win the majority of the gun rounds loud back against the wall. Wow
All right, so Nilo's hanging out at the booth. This is hard man. This is gonna be fucking hard for loud
So I am here with Brazilian content creator Tixinha and Loud's creator, Coriano.
And I want to ask them, of course, some questions about the event and the game.
So starting off with Tixinha, how was the experience to play the show match
and how did it feel for you to be on the stage, seeing the crowd?
So I'm here, of course, with Tixinha, with Coriano.
And for you, Tixinha, how was it to play the show match and to see the people screaming?
Man, it was a lot of fun, a unique experience in life with a crowd screaming.
And the show match was really cool, right?
Our captain, Mel, passed all the tactics, everything we trained during the week,
everything went well, we were very comfortable and we won.
So basically this is a unique experience for me, it was amazing to see such a huge crowd just cheering for us and Mel,
our captain, just remembered the tactics we've been practicing all along the week, so it was very easy to win this show match.
And now I want to ask from you, Corina, like, why is it so hard to stop energy even loud playing this way?
Why is it so hard for Ennard to play like this?
We can't underestimate Ennard, he's the champion, he's the champion of the Champions League, so it's a very tough team.
And I think we need more than ever from Tossida.
The guys scream, Tossi, it's going to be good.
So hype it up for us and to give energy for us and now I want the predictions
Of course, I'm gonna talk to you. I'll be down palpite. We'll show my daughter now
Ryan passed out and I'll be three down and all in on energy over love is gone
You know three one and what about you? They show my daughter
Three two a little bit a little bit less of
Compress I like it. I like it. That's a that would be fucked if energy end up winning
He cashes out and they win the last time loud stood on the champion stage
Loud have to win this pistol. They have to win this pistol.
I'm sorry. No, it's just straight up. They're 4th map guaranteed.
So, so difficult on defense side.
Thing is though, they both have the same wincon.
Like Loud could just over flood as well.
Harry Carter they give him the price trying to book their spot at Jim's
Trying to get past this guy who's just been there every step of the way
And I do move to the attack side after a monstrous eight rounds on defense of a wasting
I'm a fucking to get into garage
Set up in the corner trades go energy as well. They're gonna go in now next way in before anyone else on loud could do
Oh
My god, oh my god the mid-round oh my goodness the mid-round
They got him
straight through garage we go
wait bro careful
still loseable
plenty of time
still loseable guys
it's all on this backside fight
if Davy can kill this guy clean
not clean but i mean
had to make a flick correction he looked too much to ask he looked and with that
don't be realizes his chances of winning the round have evaporated
broad will wait there's a flash on the corner and what a round from you cares
not for your fairytales to tap on the spike that audio just had eaten snap
yeah actually I agree if you're gonna fucking clear it then just clear it this
is such a big killer actually thought loudest in the witness round just off
that, but scuba is somehow in garage.
David barely gets away from that encounter as well with the walk-in. Okay
We got my five for sure loud it feels like never had a word in this map five for sure. Oh god, it's Lotus never had a chance
You can farm I got the alt orbs. I don't know guys
Snowballs is actually might be into the next a reverse week round that is not looking like much of a bonus the NRG
team or just hit it out with rifles to the gills and determined to squash loud
not just out with them not just outlast them they want to crush them in these
last two maps of the series and with that any hope of Brazil sending this
all results as well champions or will have alts why there it is just because
they can you think gonna get that all I just bored why not another farming up
on this phoenix's best performance on it yes look like a proper duelist out there
dominating said after you don't you see that this team is not even at their peak
it felt like we're seeing them reach that route this stage
energy silence paris only the silence brazil no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
now. If they can reverse sweep here, make an attempt at winning their first America's
trophy, how close to their peak is that?
It's time for Lad to show up to hyphen.
Neither that or put up and shut up.
I can just have it through that smoke.
It's time to like it's punished but the B side out.
Oh my god, it's over. It's actually just over.
over. This these guys are just shitting on them. A fake B hit into a C split on bonus.
We felt like he kind of lost himself as a duelist are they juice
Right now this is definitely him at his best
We said he never has a full series where he's off the boil
Strongest showing but energy just needed to show up from here on out
Wait, finally an entry without it being traded?
Why am I saying wait it's over?
Take a pressure into a B hit.
These are ranked strats.
They're literally doing ranked strats.
He's doing the thing.
He's doing the thing.
He did this on a miss.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Everyone hold.
Everyone hold, because, I mean, this happened on a bus.
Holy shit, bro.
The crowd was dead as NRG had just been on a destructive run and TKC gives them a reason
to keep right on their feet out of those chairs and that's the kind of round, that's the kind
of blade that sometimes just keeps the whole team, that inspiration to take deeper, push
forward and put together round wins.
was the all needed absolutely not
might as well get the tiktok cutthroat while they're about to lose
sitting on two timeouts bonka calls one right here
probably not a whole lot to say to his team because frankly
that wasn't a strategic outplay, that was tiki's in
going ultra instinct for just a moment
making sure NRG take her breath and deny it without the chance to build
look dude this happens literally happen out of this it is a great time out it
is very very we can get weird it's fucking Valorant
Adams went away from me on all Donna ace
But it doesn't
Promise I don't you gonna keep going fast. That's too fast drop in a row
All out. They haven't achieved on C3 if you did pistol as well one guy with a gun
dominating opponents
That's not repeatable. Oh
That one's got me a little bit speechless walking you to say that's crazy
I'm up to fight his way off the site
Darker fights him through the smoke though.
Aldron out from the defense trying to get some of that info, but Ethan doesn't care that he's lit.
A site. Difficult enough to retake.
I remind when you're at a manned disadvantage, particularly once you get right in there tonight.
Well, they do the right thing.
Well, push it on them.
And that's game.
That is... that's annoying.
That lift a little nasty
That that's an old form scuba's in though today. That's annoying. Why would he do that?
You're right answer
So that's what I got just got scubbled and a lot of it has come from some of these maps
There was no need for any of that roller at the way that some of these energy rolls have shipped it
That's where Kiko can pick up the sense and will play the chamber
It if just a Ford scuba more liberties to be
There we go.
The timeout into the back breaking round with red Archie into the order of cringe.
Nice to see that from loud.
Oh, it took a while.
It took a while, but it's fine.
Kills the kill.
And Loud is ready to flood.
Loud, can I get a retake?
retaken that's the problem broke waits for
him down before we can touch down
Paranoia comes out from her and they're gonna make use of this key. Holy fucking uter. He's gonna get cut short
How is energy killing everyone? It's all on one
They can't flood like energy. They can't flood like energy
Can't play with Shane Highland energy. They just can't. They can't play in the first place, but apparently that's motivation enough to take us
to a fifth and final match
They might just one more time this year be able to reverse sweep in a
BO5. Fourth map MVD? Adam or Ethan right?
Got to be Adam or Ethan.
Never down, never completely out.
Man imagine being a leviathan right now.
You think your year is cooked?
NRG bring it back and we're going to map five
When did Riot start using the libraries as venues?
NRG team and the site of one of the most heinous
episodes of dominance between these two teams
will now come up to a good start at NRG
embarrassed it
to win the map
13 to 5
as you don't think of the tier one, you never know, you never know, I'm not counting loudout
the last one's clearly with NRG
but just takes a couple good rounds man, just takes a couple good rounds, a good start
for things to change
You just never know but it is on Luke's show. Let's be real. This is just completely on Chamber Luke show to just take this home
Only way
He's got an insane start to the game as he'd like he did last time and then what was the loud doing last time that I was
criticizing I
didn't like that they weren't like
Baiting out the sea you till
Enough I think is what it was or that might have been another game
But it felt like they weren't doing enough at sea and when they did do enough at sea
they actually just ended sea which I didn't like either because they're just running into
thorns.
The problem is they're running into a similar situation when NRG's floods are going to be the problem.
Like, if NRG is weak somewhere, they're very good at fighting the other area and then flooding back, getting back to flood in time as the plant is going down.
So, Loudest Lowkey going to have to take those fights before the flood comes in. Like, they're going to have to take so much space either in A, they have to take Heaven and Drop.
If they go see, they're going to have to keep all of like either water or spawn
before the bomb even goes down.
Or else you're going to get flooded on and you just lose.
Why are you guys telling me to check sent?
I'm just joking.
I was talking shit, probably.
Is he talking shit to the loud guys?
But is he doing the Ronaldo thing?
Where is Ronaldo?
Where's Renado still crying in his car joking John? What do you think?
Reversing baby. Hey, you're gonna be a fast 3-0 and I was gonna go out to eat and drink and then turns out
It's a I don't know. I thought hey
Fine and test and energy versus hundred thieves tomorrow. I was gonna take an off day
But if I skip another energy game, I might get fired I
Thought we would get in test no John. I still am getting in test
The rain stops in 45 minutes just in time after my five boom drive 15 minutes
Are we hanging out or should we sleep so do you rice and some soup on the side bang?
You can celebrate a
Chantating the 33 months to emanating the 39 minutes already hanging on the stop jinxing energy
I'm down for anything. What is this side attacks? That's a no. That's a no. I know what a no
and I hear one. GG. GG. Mata's cooked. So yes or no. Yo, any Brazilian fans want to
attack mother attack me first
this guy's go to my twitter and go to my twitter and look at all my posts
bro answer me now now
now now now answer me
now what did you want to say
I need to know whether or not I'm sleeping answer me now
6 7 8 probably sleep John probably sleep
What's Ryan up to is Ryan Seltzen
You cash out Pujon I cashed out
After and I put everything I have on energy
So if energy when then we're up and if she lose we're down we're down everything
It's all in. We're all in. We're all in.
It's lotus.
Oh, my God.
Lotto?
One of the walking paths.
I mean, it's lotus. It's very, very likely energy to swim.
It's a lot of luck.
It doesn't get any better.
Very likely, with this momentum as well.
If Lotto win this map to qualify for champs, they earn that shit.
Let me say that.
A shroop show couldn't find success in this game.
No look at this shit.
before losing every clutch too loud what is that poster in the back now they are
looking so well controlled so well structured in Brazil and when we go
it's a continuation of what we saw in the second half of sunset they're winning
the clutches continues them shutting down and trading lucho out every time
continues those the keys to success we go yeah but then you also look at what's
going on on that stage there you got a big battle that's happening between the
IGLs currently right you have already young player 18 years old looking to
really bring this team to that next level, but on the other side of veteran like Ethan that's a thing
Erday is fantastic, but Ethan steps onto the phoenix in this game single-handedly winning rounds
for NRG, but I think it goes deeper than that. I'm sure how that was going to go. Exactly, but
it's not the individual play for him. It is the read he knows exactly how Erday calls the attack.
Erday always looks for mid-round three groups into a five-man hit on the site. NRG were running
over the map. Mato is just going sprinting towards the attack side of Lava allowing energy.
Who was having a fucking series?
He is having a series, bro.
Also, 18-first goals on that one.
IGL that young player stepping in that was back when he was playing counter strike
He wanted trophy
He knew what this moment was like played in front of a home crowd in New York to lift that one
What a shock me if he sees a lot of himself in Erday
He has to because now he's years on from that
He's the last guy of that generation of IGLs still winning trophies in a second game with young players of his own
And for Erday, that's where it's the biggest task to be that young player to be around a team of players
who have never been here before, had never had a series like this, and now have one more chance
to make it up to these people and win in front of his crowd. Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was
three years ago that the partnership story flow started in the reversal of this situation. They
were the ones on the precipice of pulling off the reverse sweep. Fanatic denied it then,
now allowed me to see it through to prove themselves to the crowd here in Brazil.
Looks folks. I don't want to give you guys any false hope here. I got to set the stage and be honest
You got energy on a 12 game win streak on Lotus. It is
Absolutely a dominant map for this team and loud are gonna need to find a way to break that streak and to be I want to bring up
How energy chose to stack this veto putting summit a map they know they're excellent on as not three having the safe
fans there and this series on Lotus, not picking it early, having this stalwart map for yourself
to be able to rely on when this goes to distance. It has to bring confidence and it has to have
even more pressure added to these loud players now on a two map loss streak.
And you know, loud are feeling the pressure, but it's not just one or two teams feeling the
pressure in this. There are three teams at stake in this matchup. Loud need to win to go to the
finals to go to champs and our G need to win to go to the finals and if they win
let's not hear to go to champs well folks you heard it from the analyst but
that means that the stakes couldn't be higher as we get ready for game five
energy on a 12th one streak on Lotus oh yeah I think it is the thing is that
they already beat loud and recently sent thank you for the prime and and thank
Thank you for the tier one, man.
Remember that you will be playing a show match.
I don't know where that came from.
Probably someone's asshole.
Got to thinking the prime.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's gonna be hard, bro.
But this is the not to do it for love.
Like, if love do it here, no one can say shit.
the
five maps, one final battle field
Let's see if it stays a library
They're gonna need fucking pistol bad
You rather have seen louder leather champs. I would rather see both but if it was up to me to pick a team
I would rather I would choose leather person
I've had way more, I'm more sample size that level show up, but if I've earned it, I'm
cool with loud going.
I have no issues with that.
This would be, honestly, I'd be heartbroken for them if they just get destroyed here.
I feel bad.
They're a good fucking team and they're peeking at the right time.
Here we go. Maximum pressure.
Loud with maximum pressure, it cannot get higher stakes than this for them.
Biggest smash these kids have ever played.
Yeah, the thing is Loud needs an insane attack side because they have chamber on defense.
Which is just less stopping power by default.
That's a big round for Kiko.
Lucho's very low.
The trades are there, but Lucho is very low and they don't have that much map control at
all actually.
They have none.
will be relied upon to get them out of this reverse suite as much as loud giving it their
all it's the crowd wearing their hearts on their sleeves and uh there's guys being up
game as well. Be there for the.
It's a big problem for love.
Oh, you. You. You get the wrong time, he's going to show the three on two wrangling back the advantage in this round.
Or like 3000 onto if you listen to the room.
Oh, it could go real quiet, real fast if you can make it.
But it's going to be real with you guys.
Got to be shaking.
And it's easy.
Oh my god this is the perfect guy for an energy to have a life.
Oh boy, they got pistol.
They got pistol.
What makes scuba like a rewonder reposition in that situation?
But I feel like it's a little strange for me.
And he's having an insane series, too.
So I'm very surprised.
That's when he chose to reposition out of that spot.
I feel like he's good for what if he stays there, even if they come in.
He might have over thought it.
I see, there's nobody see.
Darker gets his kill, he can orb if he needs to, and there's a trip there for him as well.
Honestly, that trip slows them down, they're down for that.
Little horny.
Definitely a little horny, that could come back to haunt them.
They're all high HP. Honestly, they're fine. Triple Flanks, they're fine.
Unless someone gets banned randomly.
off in this choke point.
They're able to seize.
Celebrity position.
Perexciting.
Catches Ethan down below.
Rolf's a part of the site that he's known and noted.
They're recovering.
Good old, good old, good old, good old, good old.
Go Rolf to God for you.
All right.
They got to keep it up, man.
They need to.
I'm going to say they need nine rounds on attack.
Is that crazy?
I'm going to be real.
I think they need nine.
I've been doing this for a long time. About 15 years. Prides like this? Not sure I've
ever seen one like it.
Absolutely pooped on. He's done with that shit. Last time he got owned by it. Last time he
played this team he got owned by that. No more.
Too often in the middle, but I just raised rushing to ease average guys ray-tracing
I have 200 he's looking like he's a being sold ridiculous
What the fuck is that?
The insert the fugues loud another option
There's a lot of vice-eater that would have to be teased out if the peace sign it's gonna be successful
That vice-eater blatant throw that actually might be get investigated if Bob lindes
That's a big kill and feathers after and the bike along goes up and the vines are there
No access to the b-bomb site at all
And no map control. They walked away from see as well
They had to leave one see man. They had to leave one see
Okay, no bonus
This would be a fucking module mental clutch the biggest of his life and they're all here
Then he will take his takes the action right to him
He go playing with a determination
He wants to lift a trophy with energy his teammates want that for him. He is
trying to earn it every single round they kill here man good position by Kiko as
well very unexpected you could off angle risky but in that situation it was a
good off angle
first full by round they're fighting for a again energy intentions this is full
a little serious
it is
like it
last time he said they don't have a pair of after the rest of the incident
as well as the first four rounds
no thorns sees their
point on the only one one
of the patients who are scared of the energy retakes right here to the floods
but no parallel
of the
side of the second to the one for one
especially though not doing that low
going to call on Bobby here to try and
back his position up
up
darker now we're even in numbers look so might have had an opportunity to wrap
around but Ethan this is so hard to get the better of so hard to pull the wool over his eyes
oh recovery round recovery now
two time you've been oh boy what a clutch though darker needed that the analysis needed that
Holy shit, that is a back and forth round.
Okay, so they stopped 1 retake.
I think that paranoia would have changed everything.
I'm not going to lie.
They used it at A, I think that would have changed everything.
It would have delayed the plant even further.
but still it came down to a 1v1, so whatever.
What just happened? Pause?
Tech-Tac? Something?
Ethan Alton. GG.
Ethan has pressed the...
The ultimate button, the win button, it's done before it gets out of hand.
Off that round win, when we get back into it loud, they have given themselves an opportunity
to at least match those four attack side rounds from the last game on load.
I love the lap machine.
They have broken the NRG economy.
are putting themselves in position to have a strong attack side-half.
Dark has had a pretty darn good start to this game.
Of those rounds where Bookshow isn't going over to the A side, looking for an early pick,
Dark has sort of just been holding it down, playing low eco, playing his life, being a nuisance.
to
gonna get an explanation for this pause
They've got greatest challenges for Erede to overcome his career, specifically against
NRG.
By the way, twice NRG on the gun rounds they've fought.
What's the way he's been so looking forward to playing here in Brazil?
So now, loud no.
I think it's really cool.
I think going somewhere for playoffs and say for Americas, going to Sao Paulo for example
It kind of gives you a sense of you're going to a tournament instead of just playing, you know, just just seasonal matches at home.
I think it's really cool, especially when you get a new crowd, new faces, new region.
And yeah, it's super exciting for players.
Fix it.
The word from the stage.
Zermata's got some cold hands.
the
no way that's the text was that is the ultimate fault
We're back into it though energy uncomfortable by a weird
Some players
They fight again
Yeah, the hands the hands are freezing
Loud I'm able to withstand another hand warmer. I mean I'm told it is very cold down on the stage
It's a cool day in Sao Paulo in Venice check pinned
I'll do that for the Northern Hemisphere. It's a bit of a sea change so to speak
You shall went to the site for the school. What a kill. What's a kill?
What weapons they have?
Winnable?
Astros and playing around sea.
Huge kills!
He's getting max value from that position.
Wait.
Far more than the Altsun.
That's two Alts used by energy.
His hands are working at the puppet strings.
They have to win this round now.
Darby is one of his own team, but that's not as valuable.
You'll wait it out. TP4 from Kiko.
Looking for the fight and he takes it!
What a T.P.
What a play.
What a fucking play.
Alright, what's with that message?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Did they get my permission to use my photo?
I'm gonna set up here from everybody on the other side hitting unreal bandit ways that bandit buff is hitting
Big wrap or energy notice stop loud in their tracks
Are you on a stool? All right. All right. Yes. Good one great jokes
hilarious very funny
the
Yeah, it's the kill though.
He repeat that.
That's how badly you want to break this trip. It's okay.
It's just a chance to trip.
Are they throwing?
Oh my god.
Got that power?
Despite the heroics earlier in the round, Laodice still sitting on two skis and two pistols.
Actually, the catch is the one night ball gets both.
It's faking. They're off this side, but where are they gonna end up? Perhaps a pivot over towards B.
Easy in order. It's gonna be waiting for it.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
No, because he's already here.
The trade. Oh, he's gonna walk into the house.
Wow, Darko. What a fucking play from you.
That is actually a genius play on top of that Mully
Darkers and goddamn genius
He knew the guy at the time he was gonna walk in no matter what I'm close to crucial 50 rounds
So he put him out and put himself at the top of the box
Early risks taken by energy this push from Brock
He is just completely out in the open past the utile goes down. I
I just want to know if NRG won those two maps, just to show if we wanted we can do it, but
we didn't pay it off, so we're not going to.
the
very first time
that the
I
Was part of this is people are going to take what I'm saying serious. That's the worst part
It's either the ice is on the kicker rather or the hand they should ice right now. I can't tell which
It's like it's going to be so crucial that loud continue to keep a cap on this energy economy because when we saw
The defensive side just become a brick wall
all uncrackable for loud it's because they had an open modest hands every single round
he's locking down a Odin in the hands of Brock every single round all of the utile online
mother Luke genuinely looks like he's throwing bro please what the fuck is the rage picking
an empty seat is never a good sign it's like martyr in the end devoured himself of the
opportunity to oh my god w acting by Brock here I like that those digits warmed up
They're taking every single precaution chose
That's chose stopper going wayward in the previous rounds. You guys see that can't believe it
So far I had an insane play walking through be like that. No, they were doors be with my back turn to be made
Loud still look at it still smiling still feel like there's a legitimate way out of this series
That sees them bookie their ticket to Shanghai
It's NRG on pace to make the finals vengeance against 100 thieves first America's trophy
lifts.
Look at them knowing they're about to make a shit ton of money when they get back.
It's going to go through 14 different shell companies.
approach to the game makes it very hard especially for teams of flashing neons to get value
Brawk playing the vice just a slow ponderous style from NRG and especially on a map like this
we haven't even gotten into Brawk Odin territory on this map the economy
you're definitely getting paid in crypto no?
half 20 round one round here and there
Yeah, even if Tixine can't get a lot of momentum going on attack, he's kind of just being thrown
to create space to his death.
As long as those late rounds result in...
Yo, if we have a scandal like that in Valorant, obviously I'm trolling, but if there was a
real scandal like that in Valorant, I'd bro.
That should be crazy.
this time. Tickazine in this encounter. It's a pretty crucial player.
Happened in tier two. I mean like, you guys.
He's been in the ACS for the last time on Lotus server all stage two. He's really come
alive. But like one of the players down the ground.
We do it called ranked. And that's like, that's like legal at this point.
Honestly, expected on this. If you're not cheating in ranked, if you're not stream sniping,
you're kind of an idiot in ranked at this point.
It's like the norm.
What's going to happen to you?
Fuck it, nothing.
Bro, don't say that?
Yeah, you're right.
If I say the other thing, if I say please don't say something, they'll stop.
they'll stop.
As if I haven't been begging, begging for years for these guys to stop being fucking
users with NRG.
Let's take a VIN, started playing a couple of years ago as far as competitive match,
five months with the crew Academy and he is here to deny an NRG for a sweep to make champs.
The serious tomato, he certainly had its highs and lows.
It's not bad though, he's 19th at the beginning, so has been consistently getting those openers
against loud.
My hands are always cold because his poor circulation is what I heard you see Phoenix
Raise when I googled it neon from him over the course of this best of five
Supposed to have 214 ACS so far
So perhaps at that same levels we saw from loud, but so plenty of room to get into this game
But he's looking uncomfortable out there
Frankly when you're up against physical we have an injury distractions or limitations like whatever's going on with his hands
We have an injury, everyone take a break.
Hydration break.
There was full rules, but Mata wouldn't even be able to play this round.
They have to play 45.
You said it earlier though. Bada never a player to just bow out of a series of bad first half mentally out of it
Take a hallmark of his play in 2025 beyond just setting records for getting so many aces so quickly
Was that he could have a dreadful first half and then please take over?
What's happening? His hands are cold like very very cold
so frequent
He is a guy with that level of mental
So he's eating them up the hot coffee. I assume is what that is
Really what's happening is they're waiting for the payment to go through and it's taking a little while
Especially is energy start the move over the walls that attacks. They haven't made a decision yet until the payment goes through
Now if it's a pause into a timeout, which is the agreement was the payment has to go through before we start throwing forces
But the payment stalled the break and now have a chance to address them directly
for the first time waiting on that
NRG economy is
Really uncomfortable. That's where allowed need it to be to get the tap round
The obway from model you hold it away from Brock keep the utility light
Or NRG could be on for their second best you want to say to me that the most
Discipline team in the world is throwing rounds like this. No, I'm on your side. I don't know why you're yelling at me
I'm really telling you they're waiting for the pain. I want to make Lucio and loud
I don't know why I'm being able to I feel like I'm just the message
Why why is he why else is he obsessed with that trip, huh?
Give me another explanation
Why is my vise and be mean turning turned around from be main opening a door just explain that to me
to the predecessors of this loud team a massive shadow that these five are
stepping out of to meet the next generation of personnel of South
America round number seven is calling loud have a two round lead energy you've
got the weapons back in the hands of Kiko trying to fight you over what's
that's enough kills for me take it easy here whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa as the
Englishman thanks to the heads he's got a chill bro
TP's past, Kiko doesn't quite know where he's gonna be!
There you go.
That's it.
And on his side, another one!
What the fuck was that all you had made?
We could have looked realistic while everyone else died.
It was actually genius.
And then he's German for Earth, and he has just put Kiko there.
It is on Scuba.
Scuba's playing for real now, but when Scuba has no idea what's happening.
To keep NRGs flagging economy alive.
And find a 1v2 against the next generation who are having none of its...
not a bar of it. Scoob is like oh fuck guys how are we losing that 4v2? No one says it
worked. I tell them.
Lucian is thriving on this stage. Then to be here. Inevitably he would be here. The
pressure of the moment has not gotten to him for about a second. Put yourself in the position.
Okay, for real though, they just lost to 4v2.
Can we all acknowledge that or...?
No, I feel like I'm creating a real narrative, but they are low-key losing rounds and they
never lose.
So, now I don't know what to do.
I feel like I'm in this hole.
Stop!
They're pinching, they're pinching.
That made sense.
They actually, that made sense.
after this kill I'm broke pushes out of the big side that means it's gonna be
instant they're pinching they're pinching that makes sense they gotta fix this
they actually that makes sense this NRG aggression actually bears some fruit
but the arsenal for weaponry 5-3 they have eyes olds save for these picked up
weapons I mean they're gonna have to drypeak this though wait here does not
have paranoia they have to oh shit right now for loud in his post part it's gonna
be a free walk up now behind steelgarden digs he wants to ball throw but he's
Oh my god, wait Bumster for outside though. Where's this guy?
Okay, I'm actually serious when I say loud means not
RG the fast break on the A-side pays off you just feel the walls closing in
NRG is an eagerness to just fight fight and fight
Good pinch though for Mandy actually good pinch
Christie flawless by the way, but
Their ability to force the show off an angle teleport away and then just house on the opportunity to kill him coming out of this
citizens got a lot of luck in that this not specifically they need him is going to be able to play around that sale I
That's what I'm talking about, Adam. You knew he was offing there
I mean, it's not a really bad anymore because the other things played this season
Wow to one of his own teethers walked up the eighth and is often with an off ridiculous table to
anything
to win
Dangerous dangerous
I don't believe he's trying to kill me!
And he still gets the kill!
No, no, the crowd is the sixth player.
He has a map control though, loud.
I still have square one way.
See, Darker is concerned about push out of P.
That's fucked up. That's actually...
That's fucked up.
Ooh, we did it.
Stabbing on the court team
Ethan is a dangerous man. Oh my god. They're going to see they're going to see they're going to see Ithans aware though
Does he have a problem? No, he doesn't
They have to stay separated. They don't know if it's B or C
Seems like an attractive. Oh my god, it's C
Darker has a
He's like Adam don't look Adam don't look seriously don't look
trained on Ethan's emergence point
tucked around the corner
there's no way he's aware of the second play
not a chance, yeah
kickers are about to find a trade but he's giving his position away
dark of all get the plow within the last 12 seconds
so now it's a broken Chico
wait, Chico killed him
no they will begin to between them
huge fucking flash
wait
now where they fight Sprook
bring me another
what a clutch it's happening
happening twice now two huge clutches first from darker the 1v1 with Ethan
now that one and a 4v2 one with the red bull clutch that shakes the very earth
controlling his own destiny feels like he is bound for champions to lips trophies
flashed and didn't peak you got a cut maybe we're gonna blind them to make it
look like we're trying not peeking we got to play the 2v1
he feels like he's gonna win even more than that
and they want to up the pace I don't disrespect other bravado into the
back oh my god oh my god he's gonna run down in his own arms
Oh my god!
Wait, this is actually a thing around there, a neutral shot.
Straight in. And they have all the spawn. They have all the spawn and they're retaking.
They still have all the spawn.
Safe?
Oh shit!
One more.
I mean they have to make it look realistic. What else is the point? They can't get investigated for this.
What are you booing for?
Boo, we're rich.
We're fucking rich!
Millions!
No respect for scuba for the pit
Just go straight for that fight go for the jugular
And they punish him air they catch you. I mean what is he supposed to do there?
Of course, he's gonna say what do you think of energy's hands they lose control over
Energy retake without having any spawn control though like actually to me how this lab team build off of those successful rounds
They're running into a crossfire. They have to know that
And it's the same bread of audacity they showed to energy last time they played them on this map
They were punished for it then, but now they're wiser
Wow the days old though rounds that the crucial rounds that loudest one the two clutches in the two before
He's bought the defense is like to take hold. It's got to be meant to be
Your ride is probably shitting himself by the way, and they have to stop by a stream at half
One for one how would it's ever get one?
When the cross ever gets one only.
Half way to back to him.
And there's a nightfall that's going to force Matt around to the pitch and now as Tick-A-Zine re-assumes his space.
Get it over to the stairs, could also be dangerous but there's been no progress out of tree yet.
Those high ground NRG defenders still need to be dealt with.
Tentatively.
Davi assesses the situation.
Can I get onto this side for free?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the run and kill.
might buy them an extra edge here.
Round over.
Almost pre-firing.
Look at them, you're sticking your tongue.
He's not safe for the round, and Kiko is all alone,
forced to play the back of the sights.
They're going to get none.
And all of a sudden, he starts to feel inevitable.
Why does that stairs angle always get a kill?
Just, you can never count out.
It's just a good off angle.
It's just hard.
It's hard when you're walking up.
You have to go close wall and peek it so you know that he's on the back wall you have to go close wall
This way and then peek the angle to kill that guy like you have to actually hard clear that I know
It just doesn't get hard here. You're basically walking into the guy's exact crosser placement
It is completely outrageous hit over on this map
He's masterful
Who show lucky to get out there alive and as teachers eat again?
My clockwork lost their phone. He came with the paranoid. I still have my success brought to the rescue
Dark is still committed though. He gives his position away with some of the specular spray through the wall house
Davies alone don't give him ones
We have evidence. We have evidence! They have been paid like they have been paid!
Whatever means necessary!
Cold hot gas!
Ticazine will annoy the new generation!
Of South American veterans!
And Davi gets the job done!
Oh my god!
The rounds that NRG have lost in this game...
I am not telling you!
It should be 9-3, the other way around.
I am not even exaggerating.
It should literally be 9-3 energy right now.
And he's making the road to bed.
So now I was hanging out with this insane Brazil crowd. Let's cross and hear it guys
Before this gets out of hand I am joking
They have not been paid off
There is there is no throwing going on
The line has had some exceptional rounds
So what I have to say, so I'm just gonna say I have to say
Wait, I have to go check Ryan
the walk around glitch the hands-on hips glitch wait you guys can't see
I'm going to the bar after this I'm ordering two pounds of chicken wings
I'm actually done bro
It's actually not over
It's not over
It's genuinely not over
If NRG win pistol
It's not over
12 game win streak
12 game win streak
12 game win streak
Go back and watch that round, what is there to watch?
Oh to see his reaction?
God
You're fucking way better than
I
Know chat imagine left watching this wait imagine left watching this right now. They are fucking losing it
Dude imagine left if she's this mad over losing like a little bit of money imagine left
Holy fuck, bro. If I am left right now, I am shaking an angle suffering
Hospital proud. Oh my god. We're in a one-two one uncomfortable conditions
Impossible ops wait, it's a one-two-three. Oh my god. It's a one-two-three and yet
It's calling as a competitor is to try
to strive
to play the game spike. All
out needs to do group up. Play
to the trade. Even have an
arsenal of utility to work.
Thing is, he needs to get a
kill. Then he needs to throw a
Oh, no, he has a wrong read.
He's got to need the bomb now instead of getting an entry that needs.
Nice try.
Nice try.
He needed a kill, then need, then kill.
Which I mean he did that but not even Mada can knock them down.
He needed that kill before they even tapped the bomb.
Three rounds.
From getting one step closer to reaching that self-proclaimed destiny.
No, he couldn't nade the bomb. There was no way to nade the bomb back. No angle.
Unless he naded off of like this thing.
off the pillar, but he wasn't at that angle, but he wasn't at that angle, but he wasn't
at that angle, so, guys, he's just nicking with, do I, do I buy a house or a yacht?
as well in for a penny in for a pound and actually you're gonna have to leave it all
out there and repeat another one of their like ungodly come to me
what should be my first place ever a change of expression on their faces always stoic
no matter what challenge they face whether they're at an advantage whether it's an off
hill battle no you can't guys if you guys guys they're not obviously they don't
talking about like oh you should try it like you guys should make it less obvious
they're not saying that on the mic right can't know how the team playing with
what are we talking about no no evidence no evidence
stickers parole is the NRG game plan and a interesting bike wall over towards
this mound side holy risky look show us to contend with it for the force box oh
Oh my god, they forced lot. Holy fuck, this is it.
This, this takes whether energy come back or it's just actually over.
They did, though.
Oh my, the trade from energy, but their low scubbles low.
It's over. It's actually just over. It's impossible to clutch this, isn't it?
It's game.
Loud is actually two rounds away from qualifying the champs.
Do you guys understand how insane that is?
Like, all jokes aside, this run has been incredible.
Like, genuinely, they cannot get enough glaze for this.
And they're breaking energy's lotus streak.
No one can say shit.
Most prestigious Brazilian org in Valorant not having an appearance this might be their time where they earn it
Cutting ties with their predecessors leaning into the future these players might damage not even to bring them to champions
Same thing same round to bite themselves from the legacy of the org that came before
Hell out of route for the challenge. Damage is done though
I
Can't put holes in our G have they kill here this fight right here
I'll have some time to set up for this
Hey shells T.C. Z's gonna just forgot them
Better than me
It's right there
They actually did it
They genuinely did it
That's insane
Now we have to go here
I'm gonna text him after, so he doesn't look there.
side he's sticking to this it always feels like it's meant to happen through smoke matter
is still a devastating blow look shows all business about it a full reversal on the last
match this time it's all lucho dominating model oh they are both players on it they
know their options are lucho fans another and it's on chico they wanted a trophy they're
They're gonna be so happy. It's gonna be so vulnerable.
They're gonna be so fucking happy, bro.
I'm happy for them.
I don't give a fuck if you're a left fan.
Okay, if you're a left fan, you're tilted.
I'm not gonna lie.
But...
If you're a fan of this game,
and you're just watching,
there's no way you're mad about making it.
There's no way.
This isn't an insane story, though, for them.
already intimate of this. He wanted to wait for the cancel! They all dreamed of the same future!
Tonight, they make it their own!
Landon are going to champions! And the brides of Levi-Dame will have to watch and reach for glory!
Huge W.
Every game, every round, they fought for with their hearts worn on their sleeves.
They aren't different. They beat NRG on Lotus with maximum pressure. They beat
an insane Lotus team with a 12-knot win streak on this map.
Like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
Of course bro, of course this is just insane.
I'm lucky for one of them. I'm lucky.
It's, it's, I'll be real with you. I have sash left as I'm going, but that has nothing to do with Levin.
That has nothing to do with Levin. I'm just, I'm happy with Levin going. I'm just sad left's not.
It's okay to feel both of those things.
You cannot, you cannot sit here and say Levin didn't earn it. You just can't.
I'm sorry you just can't like look at this run brother. It's a good run. It's a deserved run.
They may even beat a hundred beats. That looks great.
That's not happening.
That's not happening, right? This is exactly what you said when 100 thieves played against Cloud9.
That's not happening.
You didn't say that.
Anyone can have it good in a bad day in this game. Loud can beat 100 thieves.
Sao Paulo could not forgive back in 2023, which makes it that much sweeter, but this
new generation steps forward to Brazilians, the Colombian, the Chilean, and the Portuguese
fellow.
I hope they're going to check it out.
Yeah, now we just have to hope that the form maintains.
Same thing I said about 100 Thieves.
That form needs to stay internationally.
And I'm, I'm chill, but either way, they earned it, bro.
hate towards loud at all. If anything, I'm happy for them. These guys played the biggest
matches of their career and they won. They played the biggest matches of their career
in the home at home where there is pressure for them with max pressure against the best
It's not a team currently, at least in americans and they beat em
On the final map
I don't, you cannot take that away from them
This guy is the best
And he's 18 by the way
Because my mother is in cancer, and I have a lot of cancer.
And now, thanks to God, I'm almost dead.
And I think that, like, I'm going to qualify for the Champions League, I'm going to help a lot of people.
It was even more special for him, qualifying for champions.
And I'm talking about the team that, like, what do you think was your biggest impact
to make this team really evolve like that?
What do you think was your main impact for the team?
For you to grow, the guys were 12-0 in the LOTS.
You're the kid of the teacher, bro.
Bro, I don't know.
I was going to the third or fourth map.
I wasn't kidding, but at least I didn't want to win too much.
And I think he did a little bit of it, I think I was getting a little bit excited.
I'm always a very calm guy and I was learning the 3rd and 4th map.
Before the 5th map I went to the bathroom, I thought about it, I thought about it a little bit and I think the results showed that I was thinking about the bathroom.
Is there any other question?
Then he did a snap or two, and then he went to the bathroom for the fifth nap and really reflected a lot,
like thought a little about everything that was going on and went back to his like on personality,
and of course they were able to close out this match.
And now I just want him to send a message to the Brazilian fans, to everybody out there,
and he wanted to send a special message in Spanish, so I will allow him to do so.
So, I send a message to Rafa Zada, who was here, to Rafa Zada from home.
You asked me for some time to speak in Spanish, so I can get in touch.
Yeah, first I thank you very much, D'Arsida.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, but I'm sorry...
It's got to be such a sick feeling for him then.
This... like, just this win...
At home.
All of them actually, but...
But I never thought it would be like this.
I think it was amazing, it was amazing, I had other words
and thank you to everyone, and now we are going to say goodbye to my family and my friends
I thank all the people who have always supported me
and if my mom can see that I love her a lot, and that everything is safe and well
And he never thought that it was really like that and today he really felt that energy from you guys
So he actually thanked everybody and sent a very special special message to his family in Spanish
So thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much child of the prophecy
Brigade the kids and the prophecy that moved completely this team in the large and that's it for us
18 is crazy. I agree. But just that his story to
Let's talk to what he's dealing with in real life, but I'm so glad they were able to get the win
Absolutely emotional interview they were able to get that win. I mean that's just like
It's so hard, bro. It's so hard to like
I can't even imagine what he's going through and having to play and playing this well that is some super human
shit
I'm feeling great like thankful for the crowd
and
I guess one question
Coming into this event. You knew you're gonna be playing here. You see what's to do
I'm not playing that way on you. I'm going to bed so I could wake up all right away
But I'm gonna eat and go to bed so I can wake up for a pack
Oh, were you ready for that opportunity? I think we were ready like
Was our dream and all like yeah, you wanted to play there like we knew about that the crowd
I hope this team maintains man, I hope this team can maintain this form.
Don't like, don't implode or anything.
They're so sick to watch.
They're genuinely so sick to watch.
Did he get the 100? I did, yeah.
I missed the entire game, but you should go rewatch it, man.
Watch it man. Trust. Did you ever think that you were going to become that image?
This was a fun game to watch. I hope you guys had a good time too.
I'm trying to do that paper like to be a leader.
So I'm new, being a leader. So I'm trying to do everything that I can.
I'm helping them out game. Any match I go into the fifth is awesome.
Yeah, usually, you know, paper like really jimbo but also just because there were states in this lower bracket, right?
You qualified for champion Shanghai. You made it, but I want to talk about the series though
It was long. It was really girl. Were you guys worried about the?
Like being tired getting tired toward the end of the series because you know best of five and against NRG
That's a tough one. So was that a concern in your mind coming into today and also tomorrow?
Yeah, bro, like when we were in the
And she got so explaining to do upload is so tired like I
I drink in the past like I don't have to say drink
No, no, he said but I drink in the past. Yeah, I
Drink two ready booze and I was like, bro
Maybe the tournament right without
The case he drink like
4, I think are 5 bro!
From more and more and more and more
Whatever it takes
Did you have a shirt for today?
One of the shirts, one of the...
Can I show it?
Go ahead
Oh wait, which camera?
That one?
Yeah
It's in Chinese, Chinese in English
And what is this name? It says Shanghai Here I Come
Yeah
Oh wow
That is incredible
You even tweeted about it
You tweeted in Chinese
Yeah
You already saw the future
It's...
You even mentioned that you wanted to go
So bad coming into the series and one of the things we're getting a little messy map for that three
I'm sure they gave so many fans just from this but maybe not this team is fucking sick
Is it all falling apart? I started like I was like, bro. We need to close that five-minute. Yeah, like I
Think that was a problem like in the third and fourth. We were thinking about like, bro
We need to close we need to close and if I met I said and they boys said like such like such a good
It doesn't matter, like, let's play and enjoy the game.
Yeah, just play and enjoy the crowd, you know, enjoy the moment, like...
Be present.
Yeah, maybe it's the last one, I said, like, maybe the last map if we lost.
Yeah.
But we won, so it's not the last you murdered.
Hey, there you go, baby, it ain't the last one, that's right, because folks, this tournament
started with 12 America's squads and four from tier two, but in the end, only two remain
in...
All right, we're calling it there.
NRG, for sure, they should have won more rounds on Lotus.
I'll keep it real, like on like a serious note, no trolling about like throwing people, throwing and shit.
A lot of these rounds should have gone NRGs with.
Like, credit to Lab for winning them.
The NRG fucked up dearly in this half.
This half specifically.
This obviously like, different story, but here...
Two clutches, one of them, sure. Like it's the 1v1 at the end.
the 2v1 they had to win
and then the 4v2 unacceptable to lose like actually those two runs are unacceptable to lose at least for their standards
And again the half might have been or would have been different
But I mean 9-3 they got there 9-3
All right the end 3v1 as well or was it a 1v2 at the end as well. Yeah all so many clutches
so many so many so many clutches
And you said Kiko was the one to be kicked, just no context, just saying shit, no context.
It's the problem with this society nowadays.
They take words out of your mouth with no context.
Like fucking morons.
I mean still, the energy played well overall, that was an insane comeback either way, winning
Summit then Haven, the way they did, they dominated too on Haven.
Team's still good, Way played way better obviously than they played against Energy,
or sorry, against Hunter Thieves.
I'm happy with this, I have no issues with this, I think if you're a left fan and you
are a left player, I get it, like that's got to fucking sting.
It's very hard not to support loud very very hard not to support loud with the run they had very good team the way they played
Check modest sweep
Adam Adam oh shit here we go
Sorry for uninspiring end to split 2, sorry Lev and their fans, we couldn't help them
qualify and crush them as we allowed.
It's not entirely an excuse but I had a medical emergency on my phone, taking me completely
out of the game, making us look horrible.
Is this not something to do with the hands, like it had, yeah like it seemed a lot worse
for sure.
Like I know I've made a couple of jokes about it, obviously like my bad, if it was taken
a terribly or something, but
if it had to do with his hands, I wonder, I wonder what it was.
I mean, hope he's good now.
Spray in his hand, maybe something like that.
Yeah, like maybe there was actual pain as opposed to just the feeling of cold.
That'd be fucked up.
I'm lucky.
Something similar to happen to comrade
like I'm not saying that's what happened to Adam but something like that happened to Com so
yeah all the all the jokes is end the other day please understand because I know I'm talking
to a lot of younger people here too are just jokes obviously these players are not throwing
there's too much on the line in terms of competitive integrity to throw games I also know these energy
players personally, and I could tell you for sure guaranteed they would never do that,
which is why I feel comfortable joking about it. But it's all jokes. If you're taking this
shit seriously, you need to get your head out of your ass, I'm sorry. They obviously
had their issues on Lotus. Obviously, Adam had his issues as well. Not much you can do,
but I think more than anything else, they should be congratulating Loud. They had an
insane run the series or sorry not just the series this entire playoff run has
been like a dream for them and and we had a good final we had a good lower final
at least with actual stakes so yeah who qualified a champs now hundred thieves
leaves, loud, NRG, and G2.
There's Buzz, whenever you talk, what do you say?
Are you watching Pacific tomorrow? Yes, we got to get to sleep. We got to eat, then we got to sleep, so we can wake up for Pacific.
I will not be missing this grand final. Like I missed yesterday's lower final.
But I only missed it because there was no stakes, honestly.
Grand finals, I'll always watch though, because it's always just decent.
I haven't missed those, so no plans on missing that.
Two more games, baby.
I will see you guys tomorrow. Anyone you guys want to read?
