I
banger and we're still very much on the path towards it. There's a lot to still be confirmed
and plenty of games to still be played. We've had some incredible results that must be said so far
and I'm sure there's plenty more around the corner. I mean those results back in week two as well
were well fascinating. We had the Grim Reaper's and Shaq Academy that went through the two top teams
the EP and cheese both. Both of them losing out which was quite fascinating. It has really
shaken up the overall standings when it comes to the region as we'll go and have a look at week
two's replays and I think for me the biggest surprise wasn't just the fact that Shai Katami 1 is just
where did it come from you know like there's a lot of quality within this region guys and on any
given night and best of ones we know these things can happen but there was nothing to suggest that
it was going to happen you look at the first two or the first week for Shai Katami they lost
four seven of them because they lost three seven men out of four and within a week they go knock
off the two best teams. It was very surprising. Yeah, absolutely. Lastly, it was intense.
There were so many intriguing results as a result of the standings. I've seen a big shake-up and
I think the best of ones have read their ugly head in some respects. I don't think that's
totally the case as to why some results went the way in which they did. I think it's going to be
intriguing on reflection procedures, how much the best of ones influence compared to the best of
that's going to be more upsets.
Come finals, but that's for future
worries. It is, of course, the best
of one format for every team. This
is three play days remaining, so
we'll see if there's more upset
some horizon. Yeah, I mean, I think in
terms of that, whether there will be
more upsets is going to mean also
then an upset to the overall
standing server EP chiefs. You can
drop one. You can drop one best of
one. It's not the end of the world.
Chiefs as well was in overtime at
that. I don't know, but in
the game, I've been in a low
phone through the matches
that they've played thus far.
And as we head into plate A5
now, after tonight, there's
only two more nights. So you
get into the tail end of the
regular season, and
certainly there's more
emphasis on those towards the
bottom than there is to those
on top. E. P. Would probably
have to lose every game from
here because to miss out. So
that's unlikely to happen for
men LFO chiefs. You probably
put them into like a 90%
certainty that they'll make top
boys sitting there on seven points those down below looking to try and take that spot for arcade
mathematically not going to be a possibility as we go to today's schedule. Yeah let's have a look
across and look it's all to culminate really in the game of the night and arguably the game of the
best of one format in the lead up to finals it is that final game of chiefs taking on EP both of
of which have been subject to some upset results. At least they were last week with EP falling
first to Chikademy playing with a substitute and bending play date for last gone chiefs
losing out again to Chikademy in overtime. So a little weakened in some respects I guess
heading into this particular matchup. But excited to see them go toe to toe. I think
they both backed themselves in to be the better team and we'll get an answer to that at the
end of the night. And rival Chocademy must win. If Ravel lose that game, that one best
of one, they're out. They can't make finals. Chocademy, of course, what they've been able
to do over the last week is great, but they probably still need more wins as well, considering
their slow start. As I said, Arcade are pretty much out, so Barbie boys have got to get the
job done against the team at the bottom of the standings. And when it comes to Man Alaphosa,
six targets, our first match of the day, and we'll go to six targets who effectively are
the same position as a couple of other teams. They have to win out from here. There's only three
games remaining. This one against Man Alaphore. They then play tomorrow rival eSports and then the
last playday next week, it's shy Academy, which could end up being a win and you're in potentially,
depending on the results. But it goes without saying they have to win tonight. Otherwise,
very long odds to make playoffs finals. I should say. Yeah, for a team that on their own word,
haven't been screaming much at all over the course of this stage. They still very much find themselves
in the mix to pluck a top four finish and look I'd go as far as to say that some of the seed and
some of the heads up seed style that they've kind of been looking to employ over the course of the
stage is at times served them quite well. They have a couple of highly skilled players on the
roster that can you know mix it with some of the best mechanical players in the league at times
when they're able to send them in and have those playmaking opportunities. So they're very much
much been an exciting team to watch but it's impossible to say whether or not
they'll be able to culminate towards the top four finish that they've run home is
arguably okay with this man El Hogan this evening and they have a rival Shaq
Academy so take from that what you will they could probably scrap points that
are decisive top four will be tough. I still feel like they're going to win tonight. If they don't win tonight the max they can go into is 10 points
get six from the last two and then there's stress and pressure that comes
without having to win those, both of those. I think if you can knock off Manila
votes about not only do you get the three points, but you also slot Manila
vote from picking up points themselves who by the way have to still play chiefs
and enterprise. So if Manila vote do lose tonight guys to six targets, not only are
they helping a competitor, they do hinder themselves as well by essentially then
having two very difficult games to close out the stage, they could then find
themselves stranded on ten points. Yeah, let's have a look across at their opponent for this evening.
Man, Alaphaux have also had a pretty intriguing stage in how they've been able to shape up currently
sitting second in the overall standings equal on points with first of chiefs. So it's been a success
for them. So far, I suppose for a little bit of context as to how they've arrived here though,
a win over Arcade and Shai Kanemi fell short in OT to Barbie Boys and most recently took down
rivals so arguably they have one of the more tricky runs home and it sub culminates into the final
week where they take on or the final two play days rather where they take on both chiefs and
e p so man alifo potentially could have their numbers inflated but i think it would be unjust to
not say that the the siege in which they have produced and you can only play
the opponent that's on offer on the night has been quite good yeah i think that for man alifo
they're the kind of team that really need to be making finals if they don't it's going to be very
disappointing stage based on what we've seen from them so far and they should have you would imagine
the quality that to take out a team like six targets and kind of maybe end their campaign
that's got to be their goal be in the best position possible going into those last two games
against chiefs and enterprise and and kind of then see what you can do there and those best
the ones a little bit less pressure then going into those games if they can get themselves the
13 points that should probably lock them into a top four position barring anything weird I don't
I don't even know if they would mathematically be able to miss out, but it would be incredibly unlikely and it honestly showed really good quality this stage as many teams that are thinking this region really have guys.
That's been the biggest, most pleasing aspect for me is that Oceania hasn't just ended up being this chiefs of the EP, at least up until this point.
Things change. We know we've probably been in his position before and then we get to finals and it's those two teams regardless, but at least there's a little bit more competition up until that point if it does eventually.
And certainly with what Chikadibi were able to do,
it sends a message to the rest of the competition,
certainly to a team like MenLFO,
like, hey, those guys are vulnerable, they are gettable.
And we've heard, you know, Sally kind of talk about
what MenLFO are trying to do this stage,
one game at a time, but they back themselves in
with confidence, get to finals, get to best of threes,
who knows what can happen from there,
especially with two slots.
Yeah, I think at this stage, if anything so far
is sort of kept teams honest, if you have a bad night,
probably more than ever you really can find yourself exposed so for man LFO I
think it's more about just going to a sighted server grinding away as they have
thus far let's have a look at the map Vito for tonight and roll that rule that
real and that sharky gets ready for tonight interested to see what style of
map these two want to go to if I'm man LFO I'm probably wanting to lean pretty
heavily into a map that offers a little more strategic depth and is reliant on
good structure and night heaven
lives can certainly be that
style of map. Six targets to
start out on defense. Yeah,
little history. Ben Ella foes
only last week. They beat rival
eSports on this very map seven
three six targets do get to
start on defense last time they
played it was back and kickoff
against shy Academy. That was
a 47 loss, though. So again,
not a lot of data to really kind
of look too much at six targets
the game. They've got a
team of six targets in the
house that played console it.
They've played Blair. Now they
play nine Haven labs, so five
different games for different
maps. We'll see if this one
works out for them. They start
defenses. We will get into it.
Six targets versus men on the
phone. Pretty big game as most
of them will be tonight. Heading
into play day five. These are
the games. You got to win. Lock
yourself into a top four
position. Otherwise you may be
a saddle together, and that
certainly could be the case for
particularly for them
But for Manel of Fo as well
It's about setting up that the perfect platform for the final two matches ugly
They're too much challenging of the stage and if they are truly looking to pitch themselves as
That the top team even if they want to go that far and get that ideal seating for finals
Then this should be a pretty breezy game
But I think if those has taught us anything so far nothing really comes for free and they'll need to play well tonight
if they are to get these three points across the line, especially starting out on attack,
the owners will be on them to set the tempo early and try to break the structure of six targets.
As we roll through the operator band phase, Sol Snake, Kaiyee, the first wave snake has
certainly been popular now for many teams, many different play styles, is very versatile,
offers a lot on map entry, but then also Execute can relay a ton of info for the final push.
So it's double info bands on the side of 60 man and a lot further focus on a
bridge denial, following up the tide with better.
The only win so far this stage for six targets came back on play day two seven
four victory over arcade, of course, who have yet to find any real success and
and find any real success and
for six targets if they want to make finals. Yeah, it's pretty much win everything from here.
Mostly you've got to win this one at least to deny men LFO, pick up your own three points, then
give yourself a chance going into the last two playdays.
So this is must win for six targets. And well, it's not must win for men LFO guys.
They can still get of course, you know, a point or two against the likes of EP and Chiefs.
that would probably lock in a top four, I think you'd rather just go into those games stress-free.
So it's not must win for Manelopho, but it's a it would be a nice
win to have to book yourself a pretty comfortable position in the top four.
Six seconds as they begin on defense though, they must win this game. And they've shown
decent quality at times throughout this stage. You think about of course, sword coming in initially
as a substitute. He's been able to make pretty good headways and he's a debut. They've got good
quality on this roster. It's just a matter of putting it all together on one given that one given map in the best of one.
Shaki goes onto the Monty. That's going to be their method of entry on the attack for Manila Fo. Top floor, not Haven Labs.
Not easy to take. They got a double hard breach alongside that Monty. It's a clear emphasis on opening up the lacks of IT.
Con meeting side and then the slow push from their Monty.
Now, like the inclusion of the Nook as well and around here for Pluto, he currently sits as the top rated player.
League wide for this matchup, fifth in Oce, and B is actually not training too far behind in seventh
both with a successful stage so far. Put a note of the plus and nine on entry, it's actually 10-1
on entry. I don't know if that will necessarily be his primary objective on the nook in this round,
but maybe he'll he can find himself in a playmaking position, it's like for a con moment.
That's definitely gonna be a key metric to track in this match up that entry duel
We know that in most cases
The conversion rate will be positive and
When you're on the attack
Especially you can apply pressure early, but Pluto actually loses so loses on his second entry duel of the stage so far to sword
Who's been a big talking point with his sub status over the course of the stage?
So credit to him was immediately traded but that majority done
One for one, the sword can sit back though and watch the yokai as courtesy of Lain, I
don't know who that is.
The mystery man, edge up out from elements, set up for this rafters push, watch though
by a king.
So there's that mirror window available as well, some pretty comfortable fears gets
the kill onto Orion.
But immediately trade, Karma gets him back, pushed through from Sharky into Rafters, available
to get rid of that mirror, and shot in the back, Hunter call it Karma, active inside
a server.
The six targets have got themselves a 3 vs 1 advantage, only Sharky on the one he left.
This attack has just peed it out, but it's certainly off the back of six targets, just
getting active on the defense.
Sharky trying desperately with a pistol, doesn't seem like it's gonna be enough, it's laying
pushes in, gets the final kill of the round. I'm imagining Wayne is Zephy, Niko out tonight.
It's a good start for six targets. Yeah, confirmation it is. In fact, Zephy
is a competent player and can have influence in the side of the server.
Wouldn't be surprised if Foeira said the name a little bit tonight. Unfortunately, his stats
actually heading into this play they haven't necessarily been the greatest
but just the one map shown so take from that what you will not too much to read
into there six targets have you know certainly had some player swaps over the
course of the stage and stability probably not a word that comes to mind
when thinking about this team but they have individual talent swords look
promising in fact he had big influence in that round as they was mentioned prior
Pluto is the highest rate of player inside of the lobby fifth overall in the region
He was cannon one on entry leading up to the opening round here on laps now ten two
courtesy of sword and also he was immediately traded
I think six targets were immediately able to pounce into action some good reposition in
They didn't allow Manila foe to dictate too much tempo in that round
And they made top four difficult to break down
Which it really should be when you have these army up and you have the mirror up
etc etc etc when you have those operators in your toolkit top floor should be
obviously nothing is quite 100% must win or should be won but
I think when you have that comp available second floor is brutal to attack into if you defend it correctly
yeah but the real test is going to come on basement and control storage isn't it as is usually the case on this map
But also these are the kind of games where, you know, pending the schedule for BNLFO,
if this were Play Day 1, maybe they would have won this comfortably, but it's a door
die game for Six-Targets, they come into it with a different mindset.
Knowing what's at stake, just raises the tension inside of the server.
The round's so important and the best of one.
Hockey gets onto the blitz this round.
Again, the double hard breach though will be the play for men on the phone.
They don't really opt to drink either any kind of room clear or even soft breach.
It's an intriguing lineup.
I mean, in theory, the lion, of course, can help a little bit with the lion's scans to remain.
But heavy emphasis on the...
...intrural hard breach.
On the flip side for six targets, they're keeping it really compact.
5 site and play the echo again
Lane is going to get
At first and Carlos going to find the kill damage on the sharky as well
Freebie start to the round for six targets
More than truly cast a curse Pluto so far here on this map
The best edge plays and leave struggling early here on labs
And sharky caught out shot in the fever's low on hp again
So it finds himself traded and they've stabilized better this time around man
LFO it's a 3 versus 3 60 seconds time not a concern final line scan goes out
but a hard breach still available and plenty of projectiles also in the
inventory of this attack equally those six targets we cast babes and Valkyrie
is the playoff. Do you like the fact that Beas has already pushed into Animas
horizontal push from the breach.
Hunter and elements.
Do we need to find a way to sync up with him though?
Because, yeah, I mean, you said before, time wasn't a factor,
but now it certainly will become a factor
and when you've got to deal with these oil facts.
Potentially even Vulcan canisters that may still be laying
within the site.
Ryan and Lane, one apiece.
Beers never got those reinforcements.
And in the end, Lane hits another shot.
Well, he's come in hot tonight to start for six targets.
Six targets, it's too straight here on Nine Haven Labs.
Absolutely, six targets will be pleased
with how they've been able to open their account here.
Two primaries in the bank for defense
on the first rotation.
Men LFO, a doubt will be too deterred by that.
Certainly not the result,
but maybe in which how the rounds have sort of played out,
they're not getting Pluto active,
some of the sink late's not being off minute
to go in that round,
The dumpster cargo was that ultimately the correct decision they found themselves entering an awkward cross and beers were still isolated above so
Here's what there's been a little bit of disconnect so far from manelophone
But very early days and nothing that can't be corrected
replay package of that prior round
Sort again having impact in the round was traded out minute to go with a den another 30 seconds
But then walking into a very difficult if not impossible cross there to break
Then Cargo Stairs, well played by six targets defensively, really good read.
But now the real test on the tertiary side.
Yeah, I mean this is the one, isn't it? You win this, if you six targets, that's three.
You may as well almost put in four going back to command server.
Obviously not a given, but on the more likely side,
this is what you don't want to demand LFOs, while giving your opponent,
who absolutely must win this game, a little bit of that hope,
early on in the piece.
mentioned of course before Pluto's been such a standout for men on the phone this stage yet to fire a shot zero and two
He's not the only one
I think one aspect of this game though in the two rounds in there's pretty evident that six targets
Happy to be a little bit aggressive on the defense without being overly aggressive none of this kind of spawn peak
He will run out but just active moving around happy to take fights
certainly from
Karma he's three and one, but it's he's positioning in these rounds. That's being done the more aggressive even right here good example
Little peek over towards IT doesn't spot anyone
It's almost I've been able to open up the wall, but in a very jumbled way
I'm changing maps!
I'm in a down to man, I'll flow looking to get value above the eagerly contested armor to play the frontline IT.
And the keep the barriers able to reinforce his position, gets caught out by the air jab.
It goes unpunished though, yeah, perhaps aided or I was holding the line
Getting utility down as well. This clear for male or foe has not been efficient
Kim gets the opening kill. Oh my god. He's trying again
0-3
Three straight opening dance for Pluto. He has not fired a shock beers though
He keeps hitting his gets the kill onto karma swords down
Lane will fall as well and shark is in the storage. It's unraveled quickly for six targets
That's gonna be a successful plant could come up from Hunter as well and only king left
Man I'll afford I gotta steal the tertiary site
They had pretty good tempo there and towards the objective
I think doing a better job to probably exploit the structure there from the defense of six targets, which was
Expected to be tested there on the tertiary doesn't quite hold up
the beauty of this
particular map and also kind of how the ops have been been banned out as well
but there's still a very very good possibility that they can go back when the primary is going to free shot on the next tertiary and
That would still shape up as a 4-2 or even a 5-1 and that's a winnable position for them
The onus is going to be on main LFO in the next two rounds finding a way to break down what they've seen previously
Operating under the assumption that six targets go for a pretty similar hold the Izami out does potentially weaken top floor significantly
So we'll see how they look to adapt there. They bring Ella in so
Trading out these army which is now unavailable of course for a little more track
In fact the replay and it was
Really the barrage into storage that ended up winning the round for men. I love though a lot of focus from six targets to defend it
Feels like that's how that site typically goes does it?
This is like attacking rush into storage and hope for the best
That's just enough pressure was created IT walls opened up the air jabs a bit of a fighting back and forth meant that
Six targets didn't really have eyes that were able to play the vert
Well so far this one kind of going to script though now to one school line at this point through the rotation of the sites
That's about half of the course with both teams
It does somewhat put the pressure back on the six targets now certainly here into round four must win this top floor
Done a great job
Shutting down Pluto, but he goes on to the day most now zero three if he can start to have the impact
He can certainly be a difference maker
I've been doing this for a while and I don't recall the time of cast a curse
to play as hard as I have to, you know, he's interested that was so good heading into tonight
and it's been anything but here on lab so far at least in the last round men alpha were
able to make up for that by finding space directly into the site as a result. Whereas
on the primaries it was a little more difficult to trade that space on the demos for this
particular round trying to influence likely from below good counter onto the mirror specifically
those power positions are pretty predictable, or at least it's pretty easy to adapt to them
once you get information.
A minute down in the ground, exterior can't open, a bit of pressure over the water, draft
is trap utility though from the denarii compromising this bush a wee bit, because elements tries
to offer protection in the square house mez position, midpoint off the ground, had the
the man alifoe looked a break open sight
oh no
you can't script it, you cannot
they got traded immediately again
like every other one
and it's a fourth different player as well
so he's fighting four straight open camps
and it's four different players
that is insane
but it is the echo at the board
I mean, all things considered
Lane's been playing quite well, he's playing the echo
no longer can control those yokais
awful for Manila foe this week they've been playing with that Pluto anyway yeah
I mean I am concerned though that the lack of verticality here could prove
classical deployable shields like explosives but I mean they're just
winning up gunfight when he fights horizontal anyway so maybe it won't be
too much of a cause of concern but inside of electrical traded good work
from beers yeah I mean just a heavy emphasis to clear out that electrical
position for Manila foe 43 seconds beers are to service by the way going for the
plan. Keep one of the try make the dash but caught at the wall by sharky top floor is
going to go the way of men alofo. This is a disaster for six targets despite again shutting
down Pluto early. There's not a lot karma can do caught by BS through the doorway.
They take top floor. They get their second round.
Yeah some nice adjustments there on the side of the attack for men alofo breaking down
the defense nicely, the ranged hard breach of the ace especially was good counterplay
onto the mirror, opened up a bit more on the warehouse side and despite Pluto dying first
it was again immediately traded so the trade game has been pretty positive from them so
far on a couple of occasions they found that almost immediately and whilst that did strip
them from the vehicle, I mean horizontally they're going to fight to gunplay, their synchronization
was really good so while warded on that occasion six targets electing not to go
basement on the follow-up and it said it will return back to the top floor with
some slight adjustments in the lineup so the Echo and the Alla alongside the
Nari all dropped heading into this round it's just the warden and the mirror to
assist I bring two to try and counteract some of that hard bridge
presumably that falls havoc in the last round, lesion for some trap instead of
elo, and some catch from the Hawaiian indicating that maybe they've looked to
play a little more aggro in some of these power positions and trying to make it
more challenging for Man-Ell or Photoflosh. We got a Pluto cam by the way, can we just
I just want to watch Pluto throw this around and see what happens to the man if
he gets cheesed. At least just stick on Pluto until the to the opening death
That's all we need to see but he's now dropped guys from third for entry percentage to ninth or four ounce
My two gets opened up a second go at it on command server for six targets makes sense considering the map
I need to win this and the next now must get to four on the defense
They would know coming into this game, it's must win.
Started well in the opening two rounds for Manila Fote.
They started to get going even without their star player performing.
It's Beers who stood up, it's Hanzo who stood up.
It's Pluto who's taking his time.
He's posh drink for that that vert contest onto the likes of sword con mirror
We're just being additionally cautious of any defenders rotating below
Midpoint of the round and the defense looking strong at the moment from six targets with our position still held
Okay, I'll say we'll begin once Pluto goes for that first target
Starting to encroach
Here's a move for 30 seconds. I think now he'll start moving because beers is the opening death
It's a round that gets the kill the dinner out for Pluto death mark activated on Takama sharky gets the kill back on the king
No longer able to defend Rafters position Pluto actually just go straight up blue not looking to play vertically
Looking to be aggressive, but you do have the footholds. It's a difficult position to push through the deal with a Ryan
Elements getting that headshot kill and they've got good pinch pressure now through it and blue
He's clear though for lane.
Two of them over towards blue.
Elements towards IT wins the battle against sword.
Sword needed to win that one.
Now surely too much pressure for lane.
At the mirror window gets the kill on to Hunter Pluto's down to 1v1 pistol out, but Elements
with his own pistol.
Too straight on the top four for men LFO.
They take the lead on Knighthaven Labs.
A little dicey there from Elements,
but had a strong round.
We saw the flash prior over towards AT breach Orion,
a massively aggressive position,
which would have caught him out.
Had it not been for that utility,
perhaps there was also some complimentary information.
And then yeah, it clutched up some of the trap utility,
I think it was to find the second last down
for the defense, but here comes up clutch.
back-to-back wins on the top floor. I think obviously men LFO, refining things, the lack
of these armies while compromising defence. I'm fortunate they have a sword, you can see
his reaction in the chat. Pluto fell, doesn't go down as a death for this particular round
because it concluded so we're somewhat pleased about that. As we go down to basement for
the final round of the half.
Yeah, I look on impossible for six targets to get attacking rounds on labs most of that
will probably have to come from basement and find a church around last day to steal one
of the top four of us put them in it.
Orc and predicament now command service usually be go to site lose it twice and I think you
lose that privilege of giving it one more go.
They did win basement, I'm not awful, five straight open kills for six targets on the
defensive labs and they've given up three straight rounds, they will rue those missed
opportunities.
Yeah, they may well, could be quite costly as we go back to the Pluto camp, or surely
Oh he's dead. Uh-oh.
I shouldn't have just killed.
Oh he does, oh he does get him.
Okay.
Yeah sword not ready for it.
I was waiting for the pop-up I got scared.
Well he's on the board, he gets himself not only a kill, but an opening kill,
and it's on the sword, who's unfortunately had a very difficult game,
so he found his health.
Two and six for the rookie.
They're kinda hunting as well, but it feels like it started to fall apart for six targets,
after what seemed like the perfect start.
It was the perfect start.
That's a one-for-one trade between Pluto and karma
Take that though if you're men LFO you keep the numbers at vantage and sharky through the floorboard to find the kill onto king
Leaving the defense in disarray Ryan forced to push cargo gets the kill on to Hunter
Microsoft throwing up Mike Kinect. No
Just shy of the stairwell and the push down from elements forthcoming and bees and sharky combine
It's four straight for men.
I look forward as they take a two round lead into the half.
I can make the way to go, I can make the sun come out, I can make the plan to know, show you what it's all about.
I can make all your legends true
I can make all these runs come true
Just like a field toucher
Whatever you want to make them, I'm here for you
I'll make your land mine
Just like a field toucher
I'll make your land mine
Baby, what's the choice?
Let's make it yours
I'll give you a vibe and love easy
You're just sad to give in to the feeling
Don't you know that we're living in sin
Let me paint you for what you can dream in
Don't you know that I can make it pull your flow
I can make the sharpest blurs
I can make it possible
I can make the surface pure
I can let you into paradise
I can make it hard to see my life just like a filter.
When you're on me, I'm here for you.
I'll make it right now just like a filter.
When you're on me, I'll make it right now just like a filter.
Well, it's not looking great for six targets as they find themselves.
They're a bit of a hole in a must win game.
They're facing the prospect of not making top four.
If they lose from here, now they've got a very difficult task.
They need to get at least a minimum of four attacking rounds here on night here in labs against what's been a very good men LFO team this stage guys
I think if you were to look at this game realistically take out all of the
Pre-emptive storylines regarding positions and finals and things like that
You'd probably say from here men LFO could go on and win this seven two seven three
But you have to sort of think that for six targets
They've got one last bullet to fire in their hopes of still making finals
Yeah I'm intrigued to see how this second half does develop. Six targets, had their moments,
had plenty of them in the first half. First five rounds, I'd be kill went their way, sure
a couple of those immediately were traded by man LFO but despite that they had opportunities
of advantage, didn't quite capitalize on all of them. Man LFO with one or two clutch moments
as well that probably was the defense maker in terms of the score line as it sits currently.
Bands for the second half as we head to top four, it is the Warden clash,
Monty Ying, so very different philosophy for this band phase as opposed to back in the first half
where it was largely info gathering taken out from the attack, the snake dogpy, the loan of the
capitol as well was also off the board and defensively big emphasis on hard bridge denial,
most notably the bandit, Abba Kayyit, so as you can see here it's straight up quite differently for
the second half and we'll see what kind of influence that may have. Yeah I mean credit to
me now that they've been able to do such a good job in that first half on their attack when Pluto
was struggling they didn't get an open kill until the very last round in the sixth so they were
pretty consistently at a disadvantage but I mean you pointed out there were a couple of times
with the instant trades anyway so it did kind of offset things rather than 4v5
and where a lot of those kind of 4v4 rounds. Not really in particular any
close rounds though individually. A lot of survival was actually back in
round five with two alive. Everything else was three plus. That's really being
too much of a close contest between these two precious on down for six targets
four labs not easy to attack you to the clearly man our vote showed the path
did it twice back in round four and five themselves.
The Thatcher in play here for the seventh round in an attempt to aid sword on the
A's for hard breach. I just felt electrical and it lands perfectly. Elements
has been in my opinion one of the better players inside of the server so far
today. He's had some big influential moments. I think we're at the clutch in the
attack top floor and he opens the account nicely here for their defensive half.
He's come on himself. Can be an impact player. Take that off the board. Only the
four guns up for six targets and into a defense that has the mirror and these
army available. It's going to be tough. So it falls as well and it's now man
LFO is round to lose
It was the third Nitro just thrown out of my beers. He's the only one that didn't connect
running towards IT
This wall is a bit shambolic as well. King comes here to headshot. Hunter 1, he's battled both
Oh, that's his 2. Plane just desperately trying to push in through con does get the down and the kill on to Hunter
Low on health though in that exchange
King desperately hoping that Pluto will go for a swing or at least someone
We'll go for a swing towards IT right now though Van Halifo have the capability of just kind of tucking in hiding
And in that clock drain down 35 seconds left as King it just closer towards electrical lane will play con side
Okay, he's just gonna swing
There's not many other options left to be honest.
No, there was not.
There's some of the swing and hope.
There's also in the same position, swing and hope.
Hopes, they have been crushed.
And the hope of finals for six targets may well be crushed as well.
Now down 5-2, as King chows on down for dinner.
Yeah, a bit of boy kibble, but unfortunately for all of them,
This match is starting to go a little astray
Looking competitive in the opening phase, but then especially through that second rotation
defense
Alaphaux had their number and that was a decisive defensive win although again
Mira Azami available first attempt top four for the defense
Back them into minute nine times out of ten, especially given that they are the favorite team of the two
We'll see if that dynamic is to change now.
Going forward, man-alpha with reinforcements way off-site, and the kind of utility that
can be complementary to a big map room here, and I like that from man-alpha basement site,
but investing pop-floor, warehouse, etc.
And with Valkyrie for information, the solos as well, a bit of trap on offer, shoot, and
They're the kind of team they're going to fight with this style of defense.
It's been a good game though for Men Outta the Float.
You know, our six targets rostered that have shown this quality at times this stage,
started well, like at the European 2 rounds, they had to win this game.
Men Outta the Float then have just been able to show their real quality this stage,
that they're a true contender.
AP Chiefs, slightly vulnerable, but they're losses last week.
And then LFO know that the gap may not be that large.
It's all about shaping up to be in the best form possible, heading into finals.
Comes with winning these kind of games,
coupled with the fact that they're going to play Enterprise and Chiefs in the last two play days.
Come on, entertain, go for the plant.
And Ryan struggling to get this game activated.
Sharky is able to deny on the solo slope from a bomb inside of control.
His beers did go down, leaves us now on a 4v4.
It needs to be reacquired and the man that was close by, Ryan, loses his life to Hunter.
Lane has acquired the kit.
So does have two smokes that he could throw out to help out his glass,
but right now Lane is just stuck in the middle of the tank.
So it does get the trade on to Hunter but again it just feels like six targets are always behind the eight ball.
The vertical element and it sort of gets lit up on entry that will be relayed.
And Kit yet to be acquired here by the attack. It's a tough position for six targets.
Couple of members though though for Manila Fo so certainly not unwinnable but it's going to take some sharp shooting.
It doesn't LOOK like they have the greatest wealth of information.
Elements spotted storage, don't know if Pluto's position is known, and it felt like Sharki
on his lurk control room side also has not been accounted for unless King just spotted
him on that particular storage side, Jorin.
So maybe they have a decent read, but converting that into a winnable round is still a lot
to ask for. Sword down below. Who looked to plant King above the cover.
Sharki is trying to find this but Sword has been able to successfully get the
plant down in the corner and the King's still outside. He could catch them in the
back here. They might not be aware of his presence. Elements certainly doesn't
seem like he is aware. Shot in the back but Sword goes down. May force King to
have to play the side all the vert. Has a bit of ping information. Straight on
the counter diffuses Pluto King a little hesitant on the drop. I think he was going to be covered
anyway to be honest as man on the phone make it six straight rounds. Yeah always put him in a tricky
position there trying to plant to negate the vert then means that it's not a major option when you're
trying to secure the post and you're right I agree the drop there again nine times out of ten gets
covered even if it's not your first instinct is going to be to plant going
to be to shoot the cannon defuse it had to be immediately and then it probably
would have been traded anyway so solid effort there from king not much more
that he could do in that position it's now time for the tertiary site as man
alipay set their sights I'm closing this one out walk away with all three
points and it'll fire in a catastrophe all but confirm them for finals and I
think it's gonna make the last couple of play days for them quite enjoyable I
think it's basically a free shot for them to see what they can muster against
both EP and cheese it's probably not entirely free in the sense that they'll
be gunning for top seed I imagine and that is a very realistic prospect for
them but even in a situation in which maybe it doesn't quite go their way I
I love the comfort of that finals slot and they can take learnings from those two games which will be arguably the most difficult so far
Six targets on the verge of elimination from this stage
Of course they'll still play out the final two play days, but
Their ability to make finals is going to be null and void
unless they can enforce trade which I mean right now has not seemed like a
possibility despite we did the opening two rounds that feels like a lifetime
ago and his control storage it is the tertiary site this is very much a last
last opportunity but even if you do win this site this round and it's back to the
top floor, IT reinforced off by the shock wire batteries, all beers.
We have a tactic to consider as well in terms of the context of the standings man, I will
vote even on points with cheeks right now, well I guess technically not right now because
they got at least one OT point but heading into the night were equal on points, trailing
there by one round in terms of round diff and so there will be a little bit of
extra motivation whether they know what I'm not right now to get this done as
quickly as possible because that could be what sets these teams apart for the
final seating.
I'll play through this round with a lot of action.
Although finally Six targets pushing in on this top floor but it's laying that
goes down first on the slice courtesy of beers at the wards lounge. Push through
electrical and connectors the play for Six targets again it's tertiary site so
do still than to get some pressure on that first floor eventually but they're looking to just get
top down first so far so good I actually evacuated by the defense but the fact is that they did lose
the sledge and he's a big part in well helping facilitate the pressure that you can have when
you've got this top floor I've lost a big piece of the the puzzle for what they want to do yeah a
lot more limited now I think sort of have shotgun secondary that is going to slow the progress of
this vert make it more to be used and for each charge back up for instance so it is a big loss
Beas will continue his lurk con side of the map and so with no dedicated flank watch and offer here
from six targets that's also a threat that they'll need to be mindful of I guess fortunately they
didn't open it much vert for him to be able to exploit 30 seconds come with a foothold warehouse
but he falls. What an angle held by the Pluto. Sword falling as well. Desperate attempt into
storage is not going to work shut down by Hunter holding the basement angle from below
King does get the down onto beers but it's going to be a seven to two victory for Manila foes they
get another three points it will put them to 13 points a tricky headshot from King onto Sharky
irrelevant in the grand scheme of things though the better team wins out dominant seven straight
rounds from Manila Vogue. After giving up the opening two, it did not matter for them.
They held their nerve, they held their composure and they get all three points and they're very
much surely on their way to finals. Yeah, the first couple of rounds giving us false hope that
this would be a close encounter. Six targets looked quite strong at the beginning here on labs, but
Man Elf they were quickly able to change that narrative man as it stands currently the number one team in osu
and they could even walk away at the end of the night pending that chiefs EP match as retaining that position so big result for them
but they'll have their sights set on their next two opponents being both chiefs and EP
I mean, that's the big one, isn't it?
Of course, I'm not 100% sure whether Man LFO are 100% walked in,
but there's still a lot of other games that will most likely mean it all fall their way
based on the fact that they are on the 13 points.
We'll see how it transpires.
Of course, they've got big games coming up, cheesed and enterprise,
but it seems like this has been the best warm-up for those respective games.
I mean, you couldn't have asked for a better lead-in if you Man LFO.
So far, they've just been able to kind of run through a lot of this league,
the next two games. They're
going to have to go into this
league. Largely with not
really any kind of blemishes.
There was the one loss that
they had back on Play Day three,
but that was an overtime
against Bobby boys. Bobby boys
currently in fourth as well. I
think you can kind of. In some
ways, forgive them for that
particular loss against a
decent opponent going to over
time, still picked up the point.
So it's been a very good stage
so far for Manila phone. We'll
see what they can do over the
into finals. Yeah, absolutely. It's too early to call as to how influential the seeding will be.
There's probably a possibility in which fourth place, for instance, can still make it through to
the top two. So it's not going to probably dictate massively how their stage plays out, but I think
it's going to be a good test as to whether or not their structures, their systems, their playstyle
doesn't actually match against the top dogs, because ultimately they're going to probably need to
beat one or even both of them if they are to make EWC. Oh, well, we've got our interview ready. It's
It's gonna be with beers for men alofo after their victory. Congratulations beers in the end in fatic seven straight after the first two rounds
I do have to ask an indirect question. It's not to you or well it is to you
But it's not for you. I just don't ask what was Pluto's mental like after that fourth opening death at the start of the game
Was he in good spirits or was he a little bit tilted?
You're having a fantastic time obviously, just fighting about some of the stuff that was dying through so to me.
I didn't feel like they were just trolling sometimes to be honest so it feels probably reflected that so I was getting mad.
Yeah, far enough. Congrats on the win, I mean you guys ended up dominating in the end.
It feels like today and sort of the rest of the stage has been a lead into the final couple of playdays for you, of course Chiefs into EP.
What's the mindset heading into those games is 100% serious?
So you're just going to chill a little bit given that top four is basically locked in.
What's kind of the mindset?
Oh, we locked into play also.
I don't want to say officially, but I think an asteroid would probably have to do to it.
I think there's there's a lot that would have to go wrong.
Let's just say that.
Yeah, so we're just trying that.
So it's just to be at one.
Anything can happen.
This way.
Yeah, there's extra points being screened.
Obviously if you guys do make finals it seems like that's likely to happen and then best of threes
How do you guys feel like you're gonna be able to translate your regular season success through these best of ones etc?
Then into the best of three format
We've got a bit of a mindset shift with a bit more like a back
Anything that you'd like to say beers I'll give you the floor
Um, shout out sword. Just talk a lot of, um, crap going up into this game really tight pretty well.
It is negative six, so shout out sword.
Thank you so much, kids. Congrats on the win, and we'll see you next time.
Thank you.
Well, congratulations again. Man on a phone. Looking pretty likely to go on and make finals after their 7th to dominating victory against 6th targets.
targets again. It all comes down to the other permutations. I'm sure there's other results.
I don't believe they're 100% locked in girls, but yeah, they're pretty close said maybe.
Yeah, exactly. That's the way it's going to go. Of course, rival esports and shy category up next.
That's another big one. It's another two or die as well rival must win.
Yeah, absolutely. The matchups tonight really are influential towards the final standing. So
very much excited for that match. I'm sure Academy seemed to be in some other
worldly best of one form at the moment and we'll see if there's more to follow
in the fifth playday. Yeah they're the grim reapers at the moment. They knocked
off Enterprise, they beat Chiefs in overtime. Let's see if they can then
therefore eliminate rival from making finals we'll find out after the break.
I was a Metal Gear Solid 2 fan, and I liked Metal Gear Solid 2 the most.
I also had a computer, so I really enjoyed playing various genres of FPS.
I have a younger brother who is 8 years old.
I recommended him to my younger brother and did it with him.
He was in 6th grade in elementary school.
He's better than I thought.
I only teach him game knowledge.
I like his response to the game.
I don't know if he's still in his blood.
So I had a lot of fun.
I didn't get stressed out.
I'm cute even if I can't do it.
I heard that my dad came from Cloud9 and asked me what I should do.
I remember that my parents liked me, and said,
Never do this. If you don't do this, you'll be done.
I remember that they pushed me to do it.
I don't have a special reason to win the international competition yet.
And when I heard that I would win the national team or go abroad,
I was proud of my parents, my company people,
and I was also proud of my professionalism,
changing my profile picture into a messenger profile picture.
But on the one hand, I'm proud of it.
I don't think it's bad.
As far as I heard from Bonnie,
I heard that I was going to play as an athlete,
and this sports career was just like playing games with me.
I think it's a bit of a recap.
Before playing Rainbow Six, I had never felt that I was competing in any other games.
But after the game started, I felt like I was losing to people who think I was weaker than me.
I felt like I was getting burned in my chest.
And I kept working hard.
I think this is how it happened because I was repeated.
It's the first time I've met Cz.
I
You are watching me, this is the last wish of mine
Wait, I'm afraid I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it
This is a different story.
It's a different story.
The movie I'm going to watch
is going to be released in a long time.
It's a long distance.
It's sweet.
Even if I do that,
I'll let it go tonight.
music
music
to play in the game. Well,
as we return here for playing a
five of APL Oceania, things
don't get any easier for some
of these teams. This now being
the opportunity for rival must
win game, guys, or they will
not be able to make the
finals, which is essentially
top four for Shake Academy. Of
course, talk about hot form, so
it's about time for rivals
Yeah, Chacademy have been the grim reapers of Ose over the last couple of play days back on June 15th, taking down EP.
It did have a sub to be fair, but a 7-5 result in regulation. They walked away with all three points, an impressive display from them, and it didn't end there as the next day, so June 16th last week in play day 4, an overtime win over Chiefs 8-6.
So they're in good form, but maybe that's against the arguably best teams in the region for
Rival they're gonna be a completely different roster to take on and we'll see if she kind of me continued this run or form or whether or not they'll be
Stalled up and certainly to rival as well. They're not gonna go into this game at all with any
Well trepidations about the quality of their opponent
I think they're gonna have to not only come in and think about themselves
which is, of course, must win, but also taking into account what happened last week and the respect
that they're going to show. Shakead, I mean, it's a clearly talented roster, but it just hasn't quite
clicked immediately for them for rival. Of course, they opened up their account against the two teams
that Shakead have just beat. They lost 3-7 to Cheese. They lost 2-7 to EP. Finally got to see
them join the winners list last week against Arcade, but they got pretty much dismantled by Manila
first in the top three teams in the region made very easy work of rival. That's now put them into
a position where in the last three games, shycademy, six targets and barbie boys almost win essentially.
But you're now running into a shycademy team. That's clearly hot in form. Six targets are out.
So yes, they might be able to get a result there tomorrow, but then barbie boys on playday seven
by no means is going to be an easy result either. So do or die for a live form. We'll see if they
can stop the shycademy train. Yeah it's certainly evident that you're right against tiered teams,
they're not at the level required to compete and I think it's probably fair to say that at this point
in time barring a miracle in Vesta 3 is provided they get inside of the top four. They're not
quite on the level for an EWC slot but there's a lot of talent on the roster and I think that
they can look to build for the remainder of the year and the run towards the top four is still
very much on a good challenge for them tonight against an informed roster and they'll be looking
to go toe to toe and a result here will do them a lot of good.
And a result for Rival would be still incredibly damaging for Shikademi, they do still need
to get as many results as they possibly can while they did defeat EP that was their first
win of the stage and then the overtime win against Cheese, their second win of the stage
but in overtime minutes they've only got the five points guys with three play days to go
So if they can't get a result here against rival, they then go into their last two games against those
Admittedly arc eight and six targets two teams on the lower end of the standings and certainly they'll be the favorites in those games
But even if they were to then go and get the six points there that puts them on 11
And that might not be enough that might still be then pending the likes of barbie boys
Maybe you can rival and what they do in this game
So by no means a chocademy secure
But if they do get the win tonight, you go to eight points and you play, well, the bottom
two teams essentially, so their run home seems great on paper.
There is every run in which they can keep the strain going.
Yeah, I totally agree.
I think it's not unreasonable to suggest that the final two play days will equate in six
points.
And so if that is to be the case, which is a pretty likely outcome, it means that the
game tonight for them is massive.
And the question is going to be can they translate the form and the confidence that they built from last week taking down both
EP and Chiefs and translate that across to tonight
they'll probably sense themselves that this is an important matchup and
Unlike the last two games for instance where it's a free shot now with proper pressure and weight and expectation to do
Well in this game. We'll see if they freeze with their thrive
game. We're going to go to the
video and see where we're going
to be playing this matchup for
rival. So that played cafe that
played bank that played layer.
They've played nine Haven labs.
They will now get to play another
new map this time being clubhouse.
They do begin on the defensive
side as well. So and I saw
classic oceanic staple for this
to win this game too. And it's also going to be their first time playing clubhouse this stage. Yeah, probably important to know exactly that.
Chacademy playing Chalet in their last three outings, Fortress back in play day one. And so clubhouse is going to introduce a very different dynamic to both of those maps where Fortress is a little more untested.
Chalet is a lot more fluid. Clubhouse is old school. It's structured. And we'll see whether or not they have the synergy to get a result here tonight.
the game. Well, let's go
straight into it. Game is
ready. Rival. Esports versus
shy cat. Must win game for
rival. Otherwise they will not
be able to make finals for
shy cat. I mean, well, this
would go a long way in helping
everyone home team that's been
in red hot form at least as of
last week. Maybe the week off
has called them down a little.
We'll see Bob House defense
arrival. This is a big game
For one team that being rival and the four strike had a me if we make fair assumptions as to how they've run home
We'll play out
Tonight is a very very critical opportunity for them to get points towards the top four
It's a big game for both and I think it should be a real drill rival with so much experience and structure and
Leadership on that roster you think about where and chef and a clock as well could hold down the line really well at times
They're the kind of team in my eyes. They're gonna be both suited to this style of map and as a ludicule prior
I show Academy three appearances on Shelly the one on fortress
It's untested for them and I think that probably poses a bigger question mark
For them as opposed to their opposition. So there's a lot of intriguing
Storylines heading into this one. I think it's quite a challenging game to predict and I think that's a fair assessment for
Both of these two teams. They can't wait to jump in its basement for
the opening side to reiterate the bands ace,
dr. B. Paye, and the bandit.
Yeah, similar to last game, though, where for six targets,
they had that pressure, must win, started well, two rounds,
thinking, yeah, it's going to be a good game, despite men LFOs,
really good form throughout the stage.
And I think you can make the same argument for rival,
they start defense on club, certainly in the site like basement,
I could see them win that, in the gym bedroom,
and then you get the feeling, okay, we're going to have a game,
But, uh, Shai-Kanabi's form clearly has been great.
Rani has been really leading the way.
Clavinix has had a good stage.
They've got really good firepower on the roster.
The rival, it hasn't really been a stage where it's all clicked.
As we know, best of ones.
Anything can happen on the give of night.
And when you add in the element of rival needing this win,
it does then shake up, you know, the prediction of this game.
game. Again, though, it kind of goes both ways, because, yes,
rivals have to win, otherwise they're just straight out,
whereas that's not quite the same for Shark Academy. But if
Shark Academy do lose, then rivals actually jump above them.
And then you strain it on five points, two play days to go,
it gets a bit dicey. I mean, like, what are, realistically,
what are the odds that Shark Academy made it to the finals
by losing this game and winning their last two? I still think
pretty low. I decided to jump over to the Twitch poll and see who is the
firm favourite heading into this one if there is to be one and well there certainly
is Shrike Academy with almost two million channel points as opposed to
rivals sitting on just 700k so the viewers at home expecting Shrike Academy
to walk away with this one confidently with all three points and setting themselves up
for a run towards the top four and if that is to eventuate rival will be in a very very
poor position themselves and I think they'll be a little disappointed with how the stage
has shaped up. First dual though throws their way proxy picks up into that supply hatch and
Rani on the snake falls. Rani's been a top five player at this stage coming into tonight
No, we don't do this again.
In terms of entry, in terms of entry percentage,
and he immediately has an opening death,
52nd of the stage.
I feel like someone else I know from earlier today.
Well, I mean, surely it can't happen again.
The good stuff arrived, well, I mean,
didn't really show much on the first floor, kept it five down below,
proxy gets the free kill,
and they're still really set up, 50 seconds left.
kind of been a bit of a nothing sort of attack from Shakeatama. I mean, Kankin's getting to work with Skeleton Key.
They still haven't opened up the kitchen hatch.
They still have one secondary hub, which we've also got.
There's last two X-Caras and it will now be open, but everything kind of just points to the, you know, last 30 seconds of the round being a rush into sight.
As real as just sits inside the smoke.
And Cliven X has found a double and maybe real as can get one too as well from Moto.
Well, it's quickly unraveled for rifle.
And where the bulls on the clash is completely surrounded down a chef chef gets one two more needed
I've been ex-kaken don't have the kit. It does not matter. Shea Academy
With a 4v5 last 30 second rush into basement successful round win
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how they're able to make that work it was a poor start to the round and rival with good
Strong as expected power positions and anchor positions in towards that objective as shea Academy sent it there
In the final third of the round
Clash got caught isolated and rival not able to maintain the pro the pressure required the trades needed
To stay competitive in that opening round so good positive signs from shy catamits
pretty rare
If you were to take a snap shot of how the round started using the kill little
Ground taken elsewhere Basin club has
Again, very typically we'll see the defense excel in that particular situation.
Here's a look back, midpoint of the round, Rani falls, even Sean as well on the blitz
on the ground, but Pyvenix, others elsewhere, connecting, he really has impressed so far
this stage.
Good way for him to open the account reels as well with the 2K.
And that can be a big potential strength for the Chakhanemi in this matchup, while rivals
do have a little more experience and I think that their roles will complement this map.
But it doesn't even match if you lose gunfights, so should I kind of be able to try and exploit
that?
Yeah, Climatic's just on the edge of the top 10 in terms of way to players for this stage,
to reference this 42-players track.
So I mean, that's a really good position to be in.
Well, I wouldn't say this is being the kind of stage where it's a changing of the guards
I still get my ice of jigsaw and bad burn and those guys at the top, you know, I've seen a lot more of these
New names in and around that sort of top 10 top 15 Clivenix though has been cursed. He will go down immediately in this round
To start for I think we have the best entry start of the night name any player
The kind of special power
Chef Jeff here on the SolarScore round 2 getting good info outside Kennels, probably not anything
unexpected given it's a hard breach but something nonetheless, his position though is revealed
the counterplay from the snake from Shai Katamine.
He's once again looking to fight from a deficit, good position from Sean.
Jeff, Jeff needs to be careful, we're scanned out on the radar.
Sean is unable to find the kill, but Rani will make that info count and Rafters doesn't trade
him.
That was Wettables with plus shield, it's understandable, but now it puts Rival in an
interesting position.
Oh, this is great!
Little turnaround for Wettables works.
He can did get the kill on to proxy.
Wettables is not completely out of the danger just yet.
He's realizing it.
Sean gets the headshot.
have tried to extend on Jim Bedroom out to garage and it hasn't really paid off.
Again, just bite the opening kill onto Kyvenix.
Leaves Acog and Eraser to go back, plays Sight as a duo, up against Kake and Shot and Realers.
Shot still alive on that Blackbeard. They got a minute as well to navigate their way over towards Jim Bedroom.
Two flashes, two smokes.
enough utility to serve them certainly on the entry there is a natural salt with
the razor
yeah there's chilling for now waiting for shunt to drain forward through cash and
con it'll be identified as clear some one rafters double stack con would even
three-pronged with fludgy pressure as well depending on how much they want to
split this attack 25 seconds I think they'll be eager to leverage the black
here in the final phase of the round.
Yeah well calculated play there from
Eraser got a little nervous when I saw that he didn't have nitro in pocket, but
Understandably info on site allowing for the vertical denial and some good composure to ensure that that opportunity was confirmed
one one school line and
It will be a return
Down to basement certainly some positive signs earlier from rival the entry stat has been
promising for them. Chacademy, to their credit, are still fighting out these
rounds quite competitively. They're not giving them a better way for free. They're
not waving the white flag.
We play there from WTWs, with 360 and 8 o'clock here. Does a good job here.
Sustaining a lot of pressure to find at least one was great. And then a raise up
given the info required to deny the plant. And I'm sure just a little bit of a
relief for a team that hasn't had a lock go their way so far the stage.
I'm going to try it again and see if we can get this curse going for Kakin as top 4 for
entry percentage to the stage 5-1.
Well he played the Havana last round in the buck last time out on Basement so I'll be
in a really bad position if he's the one to die first.
And they do have Chef Jeff on the scope horse and typically it really depends on if they
don't draw any man he gets to play over towards the script side of the map. They'll be easy
engaged when the scope host is down that kitchen hallway. Who's in the kitchen hallway? Kaken.
What happened?
Yeah, I'd be curious to see if they should kind of be hunt or do they look to cut off
slash ignore the scope host?
Bit of a decision for them to ponder presuming they actually know that chef Jeff is there
Meanwhile, honey blokes everyone's blue, but it's a shotgun up close. He thought it was clear
Yeah, he thought it was clear, but a cog was sitting technically lower. So the radar doesn't hit him
I mean we've seen teams as well use that solid snakes as strip slide to just to see if there's any lurkers
Just get a bit of information and then if there's nothing you either can push in or rotate off go somewhere else
That's a big loss for
Shrekadomy it's a big win for us though the curse not fully in effect cuz Kagan does not go down
But it is Ronnie and he's been their bestest age one and three this game a big reason
I think for the rise of Shrekadomy has been the form of him and Kyvenix
One for well, they're not so much to start
I don't know if the stars go down though, it is Kakin that gets the kill.
He's really right stage for Wettables, he's currently ranked 35th out of 42.
Jump with the kit, drops oil pit side so, Blue centric hit here from Chacademy.
So, 30 Kaken out of 42.
Kaken still lurking up about 2nd floor and Chef Jeff continues his hold strip side.
So, a lot of different elements to the push for Chef Academy and the defensive rival.
25 seconds remains.
And it's still another gas babe as well for Proxy, so they're going to be able to stop this kind of blue push
Unless there's the push through Kaken seems quite wary of Chef Jeff on the lurk
Sitting around main stairs Chef Jeff taking his time to have nitrogen a cop
So as they can do well down below they don't really need Chef Jeff to get involved and it doesn't seem like he will be needed
In fact, it goes the other way and Kaken now is a little bit more required for shy Academy push down quickly onto proxy
You're chef chef that will slowly push down either main stairs or go for the drop won't matter cake
It's by himself dealt with on site nicely by the rival defenders chef chef never even got involved in that screw boss
Yeah, a bit of a boring round for him the team doing a good job on site particularly in isolating Sean
Nobody could really play off the pressure that he was initially offering inside of Armory and then with the Goyo in play and
the crosses onto his particular position, he couldn't really do a whole lot.
And without that, it started to fall apart at the seams,
Kakin ultimately then wasn't rewarded. He had Chef Jeff on a plato.
It would have been a free kill, more than likely, but not the case.
So far into the technical
timeout we go and Rival showing that they've got what it takes on the defensive club.
After losing the opening round, thought things might get a little bit dicey for them, but
they've looked back in.
Two rounds straight, Jim Bedroom, Church Arsenal.
This cash and CCTV is going to be up next.
Also, has been three straight opening kills their way, so it hasn't really been an easy
time for the attack. So far, three rounds in. I think you'd be pretty content if you rival.
Obviously not ideal losing that opening round on basement, but they have responded as needed.
Hacog being the big factor, five and two, 163 EPS. We know he's the kind of player that can
have those sort of nights where he really does perform. Hacog's, probably his limitations is
I think the consistency of that and doing it over longer periods of time
Right now rival just need it tonight
Well the technical pause then we'll conclude and as we re-enter in towards the server
The additional bandface has played out Capitao and Clash
unavailable Clash played out twice so far
Libertables
It's blown
second occasion towards gym kept out also played out twice as well it'll be
pretty pleased with how that round concluded over towards cash and CCTV
now for the first time here on club and it's in gym play out and cash can be
quite challenging at times we'll see what kind of approach I'm gonna go for
whether it's a garage side arrived is clear or some teams even favoring a
more consign pressure these days that could also be a potential decision to bring.
Definitely has the feeling the longer this goes on the more tense it's probably gonna get. Both
Both teams need in the wind, both teams know that if you drop this one, your chance of
finals will rival is zero for Chacademy, really low.
Chacademy are going to really need Ronnie to get involved, he's been such a standout.
They've got some good hold from Chakim, Climatics is continuing to play well.
is the newfound star that needs to get going.
Raise a place in the mirror window
onto the kennel's reinforced wall.
Chef Jeff has had a quite a license so far
in this defensive half to just roam around the map.
This time on the Azami, all the way to QZ breach.
And he's not often aided by anyone else.
usually playing quite solo. Ex a couple of drones and goes all the way basement for a
long roadside back to site. I know what his end goal is, is it to go back to rafters?
I think it's going to be, is it uphill? Yeah, that's what I was just going to make sure of thinking.
Might get caught out. Not the worst. Starts the round for the defense and Chef Jeff especially
dealing with some of that joint economy. The shape up to be a con slide stack from the attacks be
headed by Blitz. Ryania will eventually posture into a position that he can essentially scan out
this entire push, Nitro shot. So good work there from Shakehattermeet. They still do have one
Nitro left though. For his quantity of defense that is an awkward prone position for private
X and Wettables gets arguably his easiest kill off the stage. Swing those. Oh, that one also a success.
Wettables won in the clock back temporarily. Kivenix going prone, got caught. Wettables saw him.
But he knew that Kivenix didn't see Wettables. Wettables with a third. And then with a fourth as
well. Four for Wettables' rivals. Getting a little bit of the old wet.
that. Not much to really say
about that round. It's just
simply an individual pop off
moment from Wettables. It's a
timeout from Chicaademy three
to one lead for rival. Yeah,
we probably haven't seen the
best side of Wettables so far
across stage one here for
Oce. We'll play with so much
experience and has had plenty
of pop off moments in the
as he said, winding back the clock a little bit there in round four.
Nice isolation on the picks and
another demonstration as to how strong DMRs can be in the right hands.
Don't mind this response though from Shite Academy.
I'll identify that
clearly they're not playing at their best because we have
quite literally as
we saw last week seem better
now facing a three round streak against them.
They'll look to track things over
and prepare for the final two rounds of this half.
Yeah, three straight on the defensive club.
This is not the end of the world for Chikademy,
but the Flatables is gonna wind the clock back like this.
That's extra firepower,
potentially for rival that they've not had this stage.
said before he was ranked 38 out of 42. One of those was Zethi with one map. It's essentially
bottom four for the stage for Wettables and that's a huge round for him and his team.
In the Chicago he probably need at least one more round.
Opting to go to Jimmy Bentrum here in the fifth round.
Still a difficult sight and then after that will be church hospital. This is not going to be an easy road ahead for Chai Academy
Again, it's also four straight opening kills of the defense
Two multi-kills to one and not a single plant from Chai Academy. They have not had a lot of success except
Really for that 30 second rush into basement in the opening round
Yeah, they've had some struggles so far, we'll see if they're able to correct course
in time.
There's a require at least two rounds and a half, it'll remain competitive, two more
opportunities to achieve that map clear again, and the Blackbeard this time around which
which was seen on this site previously.
Ultimately though, it was dealt with in the late round.
Just wanted to play the front line, and as you can see the rival's position, they've peeled back.
Thanks to the pressure laid by the attack, the Grim as well, certainly aiding in that.
I can establish their defense, consigned with the Izami knock band out.
The raise finder himself pinged subject to the snake alongside wetables and he too will
appeal.
So pretty successful from rival.
I think they'll be pretty happy.
50 men of Utah invested from Shai Kanami, although it wasn't a ton, the skill.
One more grenade left is that one.
Lance from shot.
A couple of bees remaining as well, so it is a very even round at the moment.
No clear favorite.
And it turned on the clock.
The longer this goes on, the better for the defense.
At some point, Shakeadamy are going to have to make their move.
And they're just patiently at the window.
Patience for Shakeadamy is fine, but at some point it needs to go their way.
That's another open kill to rival.
Deep push in, Ronnie with a bay livery.
Catches ACOB, clears out bathroom, could have played the mirror window, opted for the vault, and a Razor now retakes this position.
And he also has the numbers advantage, and the Blackbeard goes down from shot. Kakin needs to activate.
And he loses out to Wettables. Two older heads go toe to toe. Real is with a knocked out kill. He's on the cam.
Proxy swings from Stash, gets the kill. Four straight for rivals.
Yeah, the last time out we saw Sharkademy late go for the Lodgy Pivot and this time we didn't.
The Mirror Gold basically with a perfect line of sight in towards that push and whilst it
ultimately didn't completely mow down the attack we saw some dashes late over towards
Bathroom etc.
I think it still provided a lot of pressure and information as well to the defence and
just positionally shy canopy not doing enough there to pressure and dislodge
there's anchor spots
that's also the run the risk that you run with jacuzzi that reinforce here later
the last place like this or sorry it was open but his army able to be plug open the
opportunity for these sorts of plays and
there's no clear path toward the wind condition therefore shy canopy the plant
is never really going to be a possibility hunting for kills given the strong positions from the defense equally tough
It's a rough one for shycademy
And that's now four rounds in a row for rival
So far this stage shycademy have had
12 multi kills 10 of those 12 have come from client mix and runny
and you kind of look at the way this game is shaping up. What are the reasons why this is happening?
When you look at the opening guess, all five have been either Ronnie or Kyvenix.
So the two star players, the two highest rated players for Shrekatomy and big factors for their wins against EP Chiefs
have not been able to win any early battles and haven't really been able to get a lot of form
all momentum here in this opening half.
2-5 for Raadi, 3-4 now for Kyvinix,
despite that 3-caning opening round since then, no kills.
So it's a lot of firepower
that hasn't really been seen from Shaqadumi.
Raadi will now get the opportunity,
basement for a potential 5-1 lead.
And the similarities to our previous game
does have become more and more apparent,
but this time it's kind of reverse.
you know, in a shycademy win the opening round,
then it's Paul straight to rival.
Six targets won the first two round,
then it was seven straight.
If Jeff won the Skopals again,
because, well, quite frankly,
they never even saw him make this play last time,
he wasn't needed.
I feel like a critical round for shycademy,
they look to activate Rani and or Kyvionix this time around or Karval would stay in the pressure.
Do you wish Academy Elect to hunt down Chef Jeff this time around? They were
evidently aware of his position last time, decided to play the cutoff but when the
onsite hit didn't work out, ultimately Chef Jeff was then in position to flank late,
Ultimately not required, but if you had have been it would have been strong
Time quickly dwindling under 60 seconds of remains and sheikhan we don't have a ton of control to show for it
Well, I go in the kitchen job, which I go for the blue job
I think chef Jeff could be good for at least one here pending of course timing
Sean on the blitz is low. Chef Jeff continues to learn. Sean does go down, battle one of
the wards, fight proxy, where the horse did lose his life to Kakin. Right it will fall
to the shotgun though of Acre. Here comes Chef Jeff as well. On the snow post from behind.
Five straight rounds for rival. They take a five to one lead into the halftime break.
to be able to do it. Well, a
very dominant half in the end
for rival after dropping the
opening round Church Arsenal on
defense. It looked like it might
be. More of the same from
Chicago of last week, guys, but
rival locked in after that five
straight rounds to rounds away
from pulling off a pretty big
Last week was last week and so far this week's proven to be a little bit different.
We'll see what they can do on the defense though.
Clubhouse can play that kind of style where it becomes very difficult for the attacking teams to have a lot of success.
One might be all they needed.
We'll see.
Long way to go, but it does now mean for Shai Academy.
They just don't have the ability to drop many rounds.
Yeah, I certainly agree.
It can potentially be a very defender sided match, but right now,
rival are absolutely leading the charge, opening kill, six out of six rounds, and only on one
occasion which was, oddly the very last, was that they even traded back by Shikademi. So by
so many metrics they are well and truly ahead and I think rivals so far have done a really good
job as we've alluded to before in shutting down both Rani and Kyvenix, two particularly strong
players from the side of Shikademi who have been highly influential in their success over
the course of this first stage so I think Ravva will be pleased and maybe this is a case of Clubhouse
maybe being the map that exposes your academy a little more than the likes of the Chalet for
instance which especially in best of puns can be a particularly volatile map. Now we're back to
the old true tried to test a club Ravva with their experience and their structure at least so far have
I have a quite good...
Robles, uh, well there's no time here on this push through fantasy levels of Blackbeard.
There was a guy ACOG on the Blitz, but he's over towards Kennals.
I imagine from the perspective of levels, it's just to get early presence, maybe get rid of some of the utility.
So just the Vulcan canisters.
Mindful of the fact Sean's over towards stock
Got Ronnie of course play the scope boss. He's over towards Jim
So it's a pretty spread out defense right now for Sean to be forced to drop take the damage as well from the doccan be a proxy
Interesting position from cake and as well, so he'll retain cash control
Jim also occupied by Ronnie, but
He of course has the luxury of scopos and can transfer back to site at the first sign of pressure.
Kagan's reroute might be a little more challenging.
Acoh drops off.
He will boost the follows. Ultra aggressive from rival.
Chef Jeff follows up as well to shut down Reel as Kagan down dead.

Rani's late to the party as well because he was still top floor.
He's only just now got bot main.
Dammit from the target payload.
Kyven X through moto now into church desperate hit for sure Academy to be completely blindsided by this rush of rival courtesy of a cock on the
Blitz they open things up and they are about to now be six one up
It's six rounds straight for rival esports five match points
Quite a statement there in the opening attack they hit the go button to make the blue drop work the blitz and the
combination of the adrenal surge that from the thinker ultimately works out
and with two players all the way on the second floor they've identified that
weakness and then able to exploit it with a nice pinched outside as well that
was well executed it was a good read and rival showing us some class here non-club
and the match where there would have been probably at least some element of
pressure given their status in the standings they have well and truly
delivered against an opponent that has shown who glimpses invested blood so
far replay package of that last round shunt falls real is immediately caught
under the hatch and then nobody else given an opportunity at all really to
fight their way back in towards the site most notable the two that were
stranded up above so great read from rifle perfect execution and now just
one away from walking away with three points themselves and denying Shakeademy 3 and that
would actually ultimately see Vivald leap from Shakeademy for now by a single point.
I mean I don't think I would have walked away from this game being surprised if
we had a said Vivald's gonna win. I definitely would have walked away surprised based on this
school line and kind of the way the game is developed and unraveled.
I mean, we played seven rounds of siege, seven opening kills.
No plant at all from Trikateb in the entire first half.
This has been a beatdown. That opening round really in the end was just a safe face, 30
second rush and that was all they had. Strategically, Rival's been far better.
Clivenix down again early. That's his fourth opening death.
All that goodwill for Shikademi last week, knocking off the likes of EP and chiefs.
Seems like now it's all about to be untone.
You give 3 points over to a direct rival.
Proxy, how easy is that?
Rani turning the corner.
Realist does at least get the trade, but he's been taken very low.
Jump out attempt, it's not working.
Shikademi is just throwing caution to the wind.
The wind has come straight back at them.
The grim reaper of last week has been beaten to a pulp.
They've been decimated and destroyed.
It will be seven straight rounds against Chicademy from rival esports as their hopes for finals
is still very much alive.
A crucial and much needed three points acquired, staring down the face of elimination they
They have risen with their best result of the stage.
Yeah, it seems as if you can teach small dogs new tricks.
Clubhouse seemingly fitting this team's playstyle and structure
really, really nicely.
Very complimentary.
And they have put on an absolute clinic
outside of that rush, as you described earlier.
They did not put a foot wrong.
They will now jump shy Academy in the standings
as the fight towards the top four only continues to fight it.
Yeah, I mean, it's just a strange result.
If this had been 7-4, 7-5, close game back and forth,
I would have thought, yeah, even a rival win there
would have made sense.
But after that opening round, just they
didn't put a foot wrong, very confident
in their early fighting abilities.
They showed good strategy in wanting
to put many defensive pieces around the map,
we saw Shep-Jep lurking at times on the scope walls,
and not in the attack as well.
We only got to see two rounds from them and we're just very active very much on the move wanted to get in take the
Bites a lot of that same ethos from the first half kind of followed through two attacking rounds two plants as well
They went absolutely flawless in opening kills eight from eight rounds
They had the two out of the three multi-kills. They even had the only flawless round. This was a statistical
Demolition job and that's two million channel points in the bitch
Yeah, it was very very one sided from the community their vote towards I kind of in this matchup
And I think one of the big takeaways as well
Probably gonna be for Kyvonix and Rani just to use this as a learning experience
They've been great throughout the stage clubhouse
They may be exposing as a potential

we'll get a better read on that
is the stage continues. Well
one of our lovable favorites
chef Jeff coming in for an
interview after their victory
against I can't have me
congratulations, Jeffy at a
result that while the win I
definitely could have seen
coming. Maybe not in that
fashion seven straight against
the team that clearly played
very, very well last week. Did
you guys put a little bit of
Look, I think the wet set of best after our arcade match, you know, we're sort of really trying to find our own fate.
What happened after Ilmen left us, you know, didn't really put us in a good spot, but I think that we
we've really just kind of been focusing on our own process and how we're going to approach the stage and what we can do to consistently improve.
And that's kind of like, we knew that that first week was going to be shaky.
The second week was like showed improvement, but I think this week
We're really trying to show that the practice in the effort that we've lost three weeks of actually being a team and
Yield some results and today is a very promising start
A hopeful show of form for the stage
Yeah, so they congrats on the win
You guys look really really comfortable on clubhouse is that the case clubhouse was a good map for your style of team
And if that's the case, how do you look to try and transition that form across to other maps?
I don't think that we have that small of a map pool. I think that we've just been
dealing with our own internal issues. I don't think that it's been a strategic problem.
I'm synergy and there's been some other smaller internal things that we're just trying to resolve.
And you know, I think that today, again, there's a showing of what we've been working to fix from
the man game last week. And I think that those improvements showed in the way that we coordinated ourselves.
Chef, I mean, obviously, you guys are a very talented team. Issues aside, if you can get to finals, do you feel as if just getting to finals and then make the best of threes?
Hopefully more of these issues resolve itself that there is still very much a positive outlook on the remainder of the stage.
Yeah, well, I mean, I don't think that we're gonna sell ourselves short on anything.
We had some solid rounds against both man, Chiefs and EP.
I know that we need to drastically improve our performances against those teams if we
were to beat them in playoffs, but I don't think we're necessarily looking at those
BF3s just yet.
We are still playing game by game, you know, there's a, there's a weak process in front
of us that we need to work our way through.
I think that we're making some good steps in the right direction, but it can only show
when we get around to that next game.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think you guys have got a lot of quality and certainly the remaining
schedule that you've got maybe gives you a good platform to build on going into finals.
Anything you'd like to say before we let you go?
I'll shout out to everyone that's kind of supporting us.
There are many people that we appreciate in support.
We've got a lot of people backing us rivals, really, really supportive of us.
We've been working with a lot of people behind the scenes to really kind of elevate our own
performance and credit to them because it's really helping us improve and now we can see
some achievement.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you very much, mate, for coming on, having a chat as they got the win 7-1 dominant
victory.
7-2, 7-1, our first two games, guys.
They thought play day five was going to be the kind of night where we would get some
closer matches considering what was at stake for the certain teams for six targets needed
to win.
Didn't got smashed.
They cannot make finals rival eSports needed to win.
And they did.
Did so really convincingly now over to Bobby boys and arcade again put the picture clear
arcade cannot make finals.
They are out.
But for Bobby boys, they kind of need to win considering what the other teams are doing
around them and also without being, you know, a little bit too harsh, but their opponents
are at the bottom of the standing. So you've got to win those kind of games.
Yeah, absolutely. If Barbie boys were to go on and the result goes against them, it'd
be pretty poor for them, of course, but it would make it even more competitive for the
top four. So we'll see how it does eventually expecting that third match up, though, to
be a pretty straightforward one, much like the other two that we've had so far tonight.
Don't forget of course chiefs and enterprise later tonight. It may not be the next game
But it's one you will not want to miss we go to the break when we come back Bobby boys versus arcade
I was able to feel the charm of the game, so I did beta tests in the city of Shincheong.
There was a game party in the middle school, where six or seven people gathered and went to the rotation on a day and night.
At that time, I didn't have much competition, so I kept turning the ranks.
But as I was climbing up to the competition, I was the only one who didn't make it.
There was a pad competition in 2015 and 2016, so I knew about it.
The reason I started to be interested in the game was because I was able to be a professional player in Korea when I saw the game, and I felt that it was cool to be a professional player in Korea, and I think I was able to be a professional player from that time.
I know Faker, and I know a lot of famous sports players,
but I felt like I was talking about someone else.
I think there's definitely a lot of things that came to my mind when I was playing the game.
The team that impressed me the most was Puri.
I think the five of them were the most impressed.
I think they're the best team.
Since 2017, I've been working really hard on the rank.
But when I was in the top 3, I had a chance to get to know the players,
like, the old Norarango and Mantis FPS.
So, as I kept getting to know them,
I got to get to know each other better.
I got to know the player named Waka from Norarango.
I played games with Mantis FPS and MBTailer,
and I played games with them.
I played games with them all the time.
Then, at the end of 2019, Cloud9's J came in.
I just woke up from home and started playing games.
I was on Twitter DM.
I was wondering what it was, and I opened it up, and it was related to the offer.
At first, I didn't really believe it, but as I was talking, I gradually realized it.
I showed it to my closest friend, who was playing games with me,
and then I talked to my parents about whether I should really do it or not.
After I got the offer, I went to Japan for a walk-in-all-day job,
learned Japanese, and got a regular job, so I was going to live there.
But no matter how much I think about it, I don't think it's going to be fun.
So when this offer came, I just thought it would be more fun and life-changing.
So I chose this team right away.
In order to say this,
the first thing I want to do is work hard.
I play games with my friends,
and I have a lot of skills,
and they teach me a lot.
Especially, when I started playing Japanese,
I started playing games with my friends,
and I learned Japanese.
That's what I'm working on right now.
I play games,
and I'm comfortable when I go to Japan.
It's really simple.
Playing games,
I think it's a good influence for me.
I'm grateful for that.
Do you remember 2018?
Thank you so much for teaching me Japanese and Chinese.
They come out wind-billing like an Englishman looking for a scrap, the whole king of a scrap,
Tito.
If he goes uncontested, the kick goes cold, that would be devastating.
The grenade goes very net this wing.
Cyber and Bullet are able to get one of these with the kick so far away and the Canadian
down upstairs.
Wow, that was special.
That was special it's a one-first is free to hold and they're pushing it from behind
Both players spotted with the red skinny mates
They cement themselves as one of the greatest of all time.
He's starting to get cooked alive, Ollie, but he's using his dim pencils like this from the dark.
Surely not. Really it.
Let's play the year in my book.
Place the game, hit the off body, doesn't go and catch it.
There's the- Oh my god, sir!
There's the darest!
He doesn't have- Oh my god, sir!
There's the notion!
He's going back, he's not quite sure.
sure he's gonna go a few seconds to get that so sticky this is an angle that he
might be able to contest no of course when he takes just a bit of damage there
walk I guess the second one eclipse though we'll get one turning it into a
2v2 and I they push it on the side the bed will lose out on this eclipse the
last alive on the Ella spots the head and take the face the ace for Walker he
will down BC Canadian positioning to pick up but that's gonna result in a
double-defeat from Vertical.
Let the court forgive us around.
Netcrux, the final defender against Vertical,
the eighth absolute domination.
You'll believe in Magic, Michael.
Team one does as they win the Mexico Major.
play on the ground, so
as we return here for play day
five, Bobby Boys versus arcade
are up next. Our third match
to be able to go and beat the team at the bottom of the standings. And certainly with
the others that are catching up to them, they want to maintain their place inside of the
top four.
Yeah, certainly important that they are a cure as many points as possible and do not
just count around difference as well. They need to go in and they'll be hoping to dominate
tonight.
Yeah, absolutely. I think this is going to be the kind of game that while we've had
seven, two, seven, one, we might just get another one to follow as well. Bobby boys
have been pretty decent this stage thus far coming into tonight. Seven points inside the
the top four that had some good results. So far throughout the stage, they beat
Chicago back on the opening playday, of course, before Chicago is wonderful week
two, but maybe back to normal for them. They did lose the Chiefs at three-seven.
They was back on playday two on Lair, and then from there, by the boys went on
beat Man, Alepho, and six targets. Of course, what they're all fighting for,
though, to get to the Esports World Cup, you can get your tickets as well.
If you're going to be in Paris, make sure there's going to be the code in the chat.
If you do want to get your tickets, make sure you use the code.
Yeah, it's going to be a massive event.
The biggest addition of Rainbow Six at EWC in history
with a lot on the line, a side qualification as well.
Tantalizing the prospect for all the teams that will be attending
and host with two slots is massively important for the region.
So, yeah, if you're really going to be able to make sure to buy your tickets now.
the game. We'll go to arcade
and have a look at their roster
for a team that unfortunately
has struggled so far this stage
for four games played for losses
minus 17 that around differential
just has not been able to have
any success. There's always going
to be a team at the bottom of
the same. It's just the way that
it's designed so far that has
been arcade 47 lost to men
other folks seven lost to six
targets to seven loss to rival
lost to Antiqua. Seize them now in a position where they cannot make finals. If you still
play by the boys' demarc, then tomorrow's Shaqademi and on the last play they choose.
Yeah, there's still a little bit to play for. They can spoil the run of other teams
for them, as they're saying, by the boys tonight and into the remaining opponents. Shaqademi
and Cheese, they could try and upset and that can play the best of the standings into a bit of a
mess and I think it would be on that and opportunity for these players and individuals to continue to
improve themselves and yeah I don't quite know how to assess the longer-term prospects for this roster
if they have shown enough promise that they can come back bigger and stronger in stage two
presuming there's probably going to be some roster shoppers etc that may be on the receiving end of
that time will tell but yeah an opportunity for them tonight and I suppose then for the remainder
of the stage to just have a free swing and play some fun stage. We'll go to Barley Boyz again kind
the stage that they've had. So
far, it's been pretty good. A
couple of good ups, maybe the odd
down here or there, but largely
it's been a good stage. They want to
continue the good times here in a
game where there certainly be
absolute favorites. They've been
led by the likes of pink who
don't want to bomb 100 EPS guys,
but also no one really too low. You're
not really going to get high Katie
numbers from like some privacy
offers other. Uh, have reduced to
have a very good stage as well.
And certainly from Bailey, too.
So I mean, they've got a good
all roundedness to this roster.
Certainly players that are not
shy in taking flights.
Yeah, absolutely.
They've been a pretty fun dynamic
roster to kind of watch play
out some exciting moments.
Pinky continues to be a name that
I'm drawn to.
His influence inside the server
can be massive.
And I think having praise in the
roster as well sort of does a nice
job in balancing out this
particular team.
So excited to see how the game
does develop.
Here is that highlight package of the last match up looking pretty good against man LFO and that clutch from pink here
That was remarkable that was special one still called the best of the stage that we've seen so far
Look, I I don't know what the mentality or the preparation would be too much for this particular game
Probably a game also the cliche in cases one match at a time. Let's just play it on its merits
and they have enough talent that this match really shouldn't be causing too many issues.
Pinky and Bayley have been the best two performing players for Blumby Boys so far this stage, while
pretty close behind them as well. So they've got some good quality on this team, certainly
names that want to continue to make a name for themselves going into finals. Are they a threat?
I mean, I think they could be. I mean, they're probably closer to
Being a sort of threat investor ones best of three
I think is where they could certainly get beaten by the likes of gcp man e sports, etc
But it's also all about getting there for them to get there. Well
You definitely want to be winning this game as I said before in terms of their upcoming schedule
To close out the stage after tonight. They do actually play
Enterprise and then they play rival and rival certainly looked a lot better tonight
So by no means are those games going to be a given certainly against enterprise that that Bobby boys rival game could end up being
Winning your in depending on results. We'll go to the map veto for this matchup and see where we go
Yeah, we'll roll that rule at wheel
I think that Bobby boys will be really happy to play on most maps
Interestingly, they left the fortress through in that first wave and we ultimately end out on club that may give arcade a small shot given that the
strategic depth on this map is typically a little more restricted than others.
So we'll see if that's a big difference, but unfortunately for them though, they are starting out on attacks.
So probably boys have the comfort of defense and irrespective, I think, in terms of the numbers and how attack-aside of this map may be in the current meta,
they'll still be favored on their side on defense, where they can kind of dictate terms a little bit more.
I suppose there is a little more strategic depth depending on how they want to expand on some of the sides.
do we see, especially on basement B roams, do they go for much more of a concentrated
turtle style set up at give arcade that space and force them to go for late rank clears?
They have options available to them and I wouldn't be too surprised if we see them mix
it up a little bit over the course of the half and try to keep arcade guessing.
This has been played by arcade this stage. They ended up losing though, unfortunately
to six targets back on Play-Doh 2. That was a 4-7 loss. Then they got the two defensive
round, which did cost them. They did get two attacking rounds in the first half.
Low boys will start on defense. They have not played clubhouse this edge, but they've also
only been at once. So, I mean, it kind of says to me that they're more than happy to play. It finally
gets through. It's been banned against them five times. So, I think this is a good opportunity
for them to continue to strengthen their map all ahead of finals, provided they can get the win
here. They would go to 10 points on the standings. Again, those two games to follow are not,
You know, you play EP. Let's say you lose that you're on 10 points. There's a chance it could be 10 point barbie boys versus nine point rival going into the last player day. So that kind of sets up a huge best of one to be in that position though.
You do need to win this game. Otherwise, then you kind of playing a little bit behind the April and then OT, you know, decisions can certainly go against you in terms of 1.2 point.
So you want to just lock this one in get the win against RK take the form line into the remaining two play days and clubhouse
Is a good opportunity for them as I said so strengthen their map pull if they do make finals
You certainly want to be able to play on pretty much most of the maps
Well, I've just had word that the game is now indeed ready
Got word that there was a power outage earlier
So it sounds as if that has been resolved to me can jump in an exciting little matchup
but more critically for Barbie boys a big one for them looking to consolidate themselves and
continue their run towards the top four and for RK to opportunity to spoil the party.
It certainly is that's all that RK can do from here on out and for Barbie boys
we'll see if they can get the result that they know is very much likely for them but they've got to
lock in treat their opponent with respect. We'll see how this one does play out.
I mean, as is the case in Oceania, even the team that's lost in the best of one, absolutely
can spoil that party. So above boys need to make sure that they stay locked in mentally.
And I think that's where someone like Prez on this roster is probably really good. And
I'm going to be honest, though, yeah, from you look at from Bailey down there on the
right hand side, I could see those guys coming into a game like this and throwing caution
to the wind, having fun, doing silly things. But I think Prez has probably got the brain
to kind of just keep things in check as the bands Clash, Kaeyi, Capitao and the Thermite.
Yeah I think if they remain disciplined in this matchup, play compact defensively,
they really shouldn't have too many problems. I think they only start to fall into the trap of
maybe playing to not lose if a bit of pressure gets mounted and then a more negative play still
will unravel them a little bit. So yeah we'll see how it does develop the bands for the first
half clash can be capital term and I think basement will be a little telling as to
maybe what they want to try and deploy theorized earlier as to how much they
wish to play offsite as opposed to bunker down and it looks like there'll be some
investment up above with pinkie bathroom currently whether or not that's a
permanent position to be played will win at sea
In fact, I don't know, we'll see if they commit here, I mean it's not the most typical off-site
thing to do with a nice very personal castle for instance, but they still have the tools
available to at least play a bit of appeal defense.
I was looking at some of the numbers for the stage when it comes to the top-loaded players
as Pinku gets the first kill.
I was going to mention that he and Bayley are both inside of the top 9 when it comes to overall EPS.
They got traded after that initial open kill on Taboxo.
Basement site choice for Barbie boys now without the alloy of Pinku, but they did get rid of the IQ.
Well, Shulna's gonna have too much of an effect though.
I'm a hard breach with Wizard as well playing with Blackbeard as is with love to get a bit
of that kitchen control on the buck.
Yeah, a lot of creepy in this town.
Maybe a little indicative is the style of the siege, the siege here in club, maybe a little
more fluid than usual.
4 vs 4 though, we now have the midpoint of the round, the vertical base, that we should
be catching Hall.
Pretty old school stuff here from Arcade.
Still a plentiful amount of ranged hard rage, so they can open up a triple wall if they
so wish.
They could end up seeing a church finish point here from Arcade.
Bobbie Boyz on the flip side, triple smoke still up, quicks with one key on the main
and presumably there are Goyos in position to counter at least the
motorcycle drop here. The press is going to be very cautious with his positioning
he's made the run at the back of church though successfully from the open
We saw in the opening round, of course, the bomb house of the previous match that 32nd
can drop down.
Let that go the way it should.
It's the only round they ended up actually winning.
It's going to have to be something similar, I think, for arcading this round.
And this is going to be actually a main stairs pushdown with Wizard.
There's a lot of footholds that have been done, and some of them they weren't doing
though, of course, with this triple wall breach, pushed down now from blue for Azir.
So they're trying to get over this pinch over the water church side.
Let's look over the plant in that particular site even the pressure was blue they got that kill on the press
Walsh goes down plant will be successful. The defense has just kind of allowed the attack to just waltz on in
This has been a little bit too comfortable and a little bit too easy for RK
And in the end Wizards shield proved the difference they kept the opening round on basement attack clubhouse
Yeah, nothing nothing meta breaking there in the opening ground from the attack
but good clean siege, a pretty old school triple wall hit at the end there making good use of the
ranged hard breach on offer. They showed good promise in the early round as well, eventually with
the trade that they were able to find. Unfortunately, Boxo out once more, hopefully not another
power outage, not sure if he was subject to the first, but either way good work there from Arcade
and some smiles all around. It looks like pretty pleased with that opening round result and
and body language suggesting that, yeah, there we go for a win tonight.
Yeah, technical timeout due to the box-o disconnection as you said.
Hopefully it's not the writing power issue.
Just the one round, and you know what, the beauty of the game that we had just before,
there is box-o by the way, so he's going to get back in,
but the backup generator's kicked.
The beauty of the game that we just had,
you know, kind of just says that you don't want to overreact too much,
attacking around wind, baseball, club.
Yeah, it's great, but then, you know,
Rubble went in 1-7 straight after that.
So, can't get carried away, which is the one round.
We can't. They certainly can't hide before Arcade.
But again, for Arcade, they're just playing with House Monday.
They got nothing to lose, nothing to gain.
Just playing the game of siege in a controlled environment,
having a little bit of fun.
There's far more pressure on Bobby Boyce.
And if they can just string a couple of rounds together in the attack, that pressure's going to
magnify pretty quickly.
For Bobby Boyd's knowing that, yeah,
not must win, but certainly a game that they're going to need to probably win if they're going to make top four.
Leaves the draw a ja for, you know, the likes of rival, Shaq Kattamy.
The draw or the draw? Or both?
Maybe both.
I think we both work.
You know what's interesting as well, if Barbie Boys were to lose this as well, it's a long
way from happening.
But if it were to happen, obviously they'd be on seven points.
Six targets play rival, then they play Chacademy.
If they could win both of those games, there's a chance they could still make top four as
well.
And we've got big ramifications on this particular game outside of just Bobby Boyce.
Yeah, there's so much that can play out in the mid-pack.
Mane Esports currently sitting as the only team confirmed for the top four.
The finals seed their exact position though, certainly far from being determined and sending
and in the storyline for the remainder of the teams here in Oce, and it's going to be
highly competitive, two slots on the line this particular stage.
We continue this tech pause, it should be completed shortly. Let's get Boxo back into
the server. Another talking point as well that hasn't quite really had major influence yet,
it's probably going to be a talking point in the final playday if required, but it is that
around differential it is the first high breaker and so teams that are vying for a top four position
this game a good example barbie boys will want to have the most dominant result possible because
as it stands they only have a plus two round differential both ap and chiefs above them who
aren't quite confirmed for top four just yet now plus 14 and plus 10 just as a reference point and
man who are already locked at plus 14. So there's certainly a ways away from that, although
they are still leading all-comers with rival Shackadamy, six targets on arcade, all negative.
So if Bobby Goose can put in a big performance here and recover after that first round loss,
then we'll go out to dominant win. Round differential may not be a massive determining
factor for them for the remainder of the stage. Yeah, as I kind of look more and more while we've
we've got this time during the technical time out,
which may be becoming a re-host as well.
I'm pretty certain that if I always were to win tonight,
I'd get a 10 points.
The max that 60 can get to would be 10.
They don't have the head to head.
They don't have the round differential.
So I'm pretty confident in saying
that if I always three point win,
which means winning in regulation would see six targets,
then therefore knocked out.
So they're hoping for an arcade win.
So Academy would be hoping for an arcade win, et cetera.
That's kind of what's on the line, that if Bubba Boys were to actually go on and win this game, to me it kind of feels like it is far more likely that it could come down to Bubba Boys versus Rival.
Even for Sharkademy, the maximum amount of points they can get to is 11, but Bubba Boys and Rival play each other on the final playday, and the winner of that would most likely go over the 11 point threshold as well.
Yeah, there's so much math I feel like, just to play out for the remaining 8 games, plus
the 2 tonight.
And while we take an opportunity to maybe run some of that math, we'll tell you guys
to have a break as we continue this.
tech pause don't go too far we'll be back in a moment.
Alright, well the technical timeouts last rehost didn't last too long, should be getting
back into the game.
Just the one round play which was the basement sight wind for arcade on the attack.
Jim bedroom to follow.
Defenders, protect your bombs from being abused by attackers.
Fluffin' Mike.
We've seen this movie before though and not too long ago.
It's going to be a grind for Arcade, we actually take an opportunity to run some very quick
math on Arcade in the potential run towards top 4 and whilst it isn't technically over
it relies on winning all the games from this point onwards in regulation plus OT results
etc elsewhere.
a lot of permutations and the chances of them making it through a essentially
under 1% that's not technically over five
still I very much the team on the back foot in this matchup and a lot more to
lose currently sitting fourth in the standing so in a final position currently
but that would be very fragile if they were to go on and lose this game
It's disappointing for Arcade in some ways if they were to have a really good game here or even get a win
You think you couldn't have done that a little earlier in the stage
You know sometimes there are teams of players that just have a bit of a different mental mindset when you know
You know that you're very unlikely to be able to make finals as I said, we kind of ran the numbers. There's a
0.1% chance they could technically still make it does require a win
Right here what right now and all three points for that matter
in all of their remaining games and a whole bunch of other permutations.
The pressure is largely off as Quicks is just sitting below Logy Hatch.
Three standard extension right now for Barbi Poison. A minute and a half left into the round.
Hasn't really been a whole lot again from Arcade. A lot of that crook being a lot of that post-string.
Haven't taken the battle towards Cache and CCTV as is outside of the balcony.
Mind scan.
Doesn't really help them out.
Right, it's weird as if that goes down first.
Quickstain gets the kill onto Loyalty,
blocks out Fools,
and Moloss just down three in this round.
As Asus makes his way into site,
he got the one kill,
and that was all.
Bottle boys respond on Jim Bedrub.
Yeah, Blink, can you miss it?
I was going to look at a couple of stat sheets there
and look back round over.
There was comprehensive there
and a good response after a pause in the action,
which sometimes can sometimes find
a little tricky to then uh flip the switch and be round ready game ready
so good work there from barbie boys seeing a much better brand of siege from
them there in that round compared to the first where they were a little well
scattered. still though an opening kill that went
the way of their opposition so barbie boys at least have that still going
for them at a hundred percent rate
Pardon me, it was actually, sorry, no.
It's actually 100% in favour of Barley Boys, correct.
So...
Double E-Palsing even for them.
And then Vulture Small with a 3k in that last round.
And we have to catch CCTV then for Barley Boys here in round number 3.
And Prez is...
And he's gonna play some Prez strats in this round.
The global shield conwall facing CCTV.
And I presume that's to get the Shamiko launcher activated late round for Plant and Arp.
Smoke not banned out, but equally not selected this round.
and
not not a lot to go off really first round a bit of a one-sided affair from arcade second round same as welfare by the boys
They've made a plan to blow each good good round of Walsh
And sometimes you get that opening round, you know, it's basement club you almost get lulled into that
Comfort feeling and you get them a little bit woken up way
That's swift entry. Well, it seems like Bobby boys did wake up pretty quickly
Pick your has been drawn down towards Jim shoots it and does make the right decision
position in reposition which is pretty good positioning behind it the flipped
mattress not showing himself to the balcony here also has clicks for cover
while still lingering around main stairs but it's a pretty decent extension
here for a cash and CCTV site but we're showing quite a lot horizontally yeah
certainly multi-layered there's a lot to contend with here for arcade we'll see
if they actually commit to the clear or tried to go for the pivot late, although into that
garage setup and the shimiko lineup that's not going to be too much fun either. I think
they'll probably be better serve trying to isolate these defenders and barely finds himself
caught. Good swing though onto box who was vaulting over towards jacuzzi falls. Where's
it in the meantime? Attempting to land on the lines. Oh watch below. As Pigger has the
cross. Chop chop.
I've just got a little messy but fortunately the cavalry arrived at Bobby Boy's by losing
Bailey early on the Echo, they did lose sight control and allowed the plant to attack the
Buck Boy's reaction quickly enough.
Arcade just couldn't win the couple fights.
Hazard's the headshot onto Quicks.
Oh and it gets pressed very very low.
I thought he killed him.
Evidently he almost did.
Hazard himself is still low on health.
Prez, you can't use your Shamika launcher. You are allowed. It's not needed though. Walsh has got it covered
I'll be boys make it too straight a little dicey an intriguing set-up. It was almost punished
But they get the round win
Yeah
This match so far is already subverting my expectations and in terms of the their approach from both teams
I expected a pretty straight shootout classic club very
straight forward style from breath the attack and defense and we kind of saw
that I think in the opening basement round when arcade went for the triple
wall attack focus main stairs etc but second floor a little bit more snappy
then from Barbie boys and that that third round defensively with the Tachanka
set up heavy horizontal extension worked down below lounge late forfeiting
control entirely there of CCTV and not immediately contesting the Kenosbury
century it was very unorthodox from the defense but they kept pace. Great 1v3
attempt from ours is unfortunately just unable to get the job done, props though
for the attempt to not giving up. Back down to basement. Do we see a
replay? A similar story to what we saw earlier tonight with the underdog
claiming around and then getting stopped if it's possible. Barbie boys were
We're gonna try and build up some more momentum here defensively.
Well, I mean, Chycademy would not be the other dog, according to Twitch chat.
Well, sure.
Yeah, I guess so.
And based on last week, I don't know, a bit different, but I get what you're saying,
100%.
Now, one way to go, I mean, even in that round, still came down to a live, in all honesty,
Azus almost getting that kill into Brezman, it was still winnable towards the end.
They identified pretty decently in that round, the extension away from the site when they
They got that kill onto Bayley, they felt comfortable to push in, go over the plant, I think that's
the right play, they just, those who were covering just couldn't win their fights.
Should mention as well for those that missed it, we of course did have a re-host after
the opening round.
So Walsh is 5-1, not 5-0.
Still a very good scoreline.
Oh siren with a headshot kill on to Bailey.
That's going to be his second opening death in a row, but this time at least not playing
the echo on the goya, means the Vulcan canister is pre-placed.
Does leave basement vulnerable again though.
You bet it will be no doubt disappointed being caught out in that position and now heightens
the pressure on the rest of this defense for the remainder of the round and there's a lot
of time I'm also able to bite back here, grassed over towards dirt, maybe, if not that minimum
of peak outside, yeah just a white swing there from dirt, patches the player outside,
lock up well I mean look at the four bullets as this didn't really open anything up the skeleton key
in the world but it's a big piece of utility that has been eliminated
itch and hatch still needs to be opened up they do have the X car so no problem
but less pressure can now be applied by arcade and it evened up the numbers that was a big kill from wash
We're going to get these payload calls out from Boxo as well, he's just got five sitting
in pocket, a minute left in the round.
I'll tell you what, the arcade's pacing this half has been very on the slow side.
It has been a little old school clock this time around to maybe some of the chaos ball
that we've seen inflicted previously.
Although this pattern looks quite similar from arcade, so ranged hard bridge into triple.
Barbie boys will be relaying that, press up close contending and stalling out on the smoke
and here's a key roll, still two gas babes remain and less than 30 seconds on the clock
for arcade.
Walsh is going to eat the first call that Mokso has sacked out so no more calls on to Walsh.
He can stay gun up over Walsh's arsenal, 14 seconds.
He's going to have a lot of time to get these flip holes.
Should deal with Wizard here. People are showing. He goes down very quickly.
Another one to follow. Plots in the kitchen.
Now it's not a time for the reload. Walsh has got the cover though and a second.
He's just firing on all cylinders for Walsh.
He's got eight kills in three rounds.
They go around the world, they win all three sides, and it's forced a tactical time out from arcade.
Yeah, Barbie boys have come alive here in the last few rounds.
That's prompt that tack time out as you mentioned.
How valuable will that be? How much influence can have in this match? Time will tell.
Okay, went for a fairly similar attacking approach there, and I think barbie boys just
with especially the smoke up close some of the positions they held etc etc they were
in a much better position to deny that they didn't have to do a whole lot to be on the
excelling side there the high percentage side and they've improved significantly since
that first round and it doesn't look like there's too many signs that this momentum
the soul. And Welsh is sitting one point shy of 200 EPS through the opening four rounds.
He's had a good stage so far. A great stage, pretty good stage. I mean he's kind of around that
middle point twenty first rated player he's basically equal with the likes of
Hiroy. But you take into account that kickoff was his debut. This has been a
really really good game for him. It's just getting caught there on the reload timing
when he was pushing away from that bot main pressure and then the kitchen drop
and timely, but Walsh had it covered.
So Jim Bedroom again, last time out this was very comfortable for Bobby Boys Walsh, getting a 3k in that round they kept 4 alive.
He got that opening kill onto Wizard, Wizard 0-83.
We did have a kill in the opening round that's not in the in-game stats
Sorry with the last two opening kills, but neither of them have been converted
So okay taking that opportunity to have a chat see how much they look to change things
up for round five in bedroom and early post stream for the Mac clear.
extra hard bridge compared to last time drop the striker bring
next car is on the herbana
and bring the snake again once more probably looking to see that get a
little bit more value probably a tool that can be employed
late round when they decide to think about the blood due to bedroom
himself. And now the emphasis and focus top red are Pinko, Sharp, second kill for the
map so far and Box having a rough one. Cricks as well, we'll find his mark and the tactical
timeout from Arcade seemingly will not be effective.
Well, I wonder from the philosophy look at what happened last time on the gym bedroom,
they didn't bring heart breaks, they didn't really go through the cross, it was all kind
of direct. This time I think, okay, well, let's do that. And then they've kind of played
in the band the body boys because they like to play this big extension as it
falls in the background whereas spotting out wizard knows as far as top red as
well so they have information on the last two players walls with an over
aggressive swing though prayers tucked into the corner finally he gets the
help from Bailey was it a one versus two with a minute left playing blackbeard
it's not impossible it does have a nice assault plus three zero two canisters
remaining. He's got the utility, Bailey will just play with the shotgun. He's a
poshest of the doorway trying to bait out the razor-blum shell, done so
successfully. No damage taken, and it does have the defuser as well. 40 seconds, so
still plenty of time. Doesn't need to rush this. There's this one behind the
deployable shield, that's Bailey. Goes for the swing. Nitrosault would have got him
anyway. Fall straight for Barbie boys. One more round to go in the half.
Yeah, that like a conversion will potentially prove to be quite costly for arcade
Who desperately need maximum points tonight to stand any outside chance and it is very much an outside chance to still make finals
Walking away empty-handed here will
Be a line through their name
It's a good start, but unfortunately for them body boys have sprung back into life here over the last four rounds
they have been pretty much nothing short of dominant it's very much felt that way that's the perception
look in terms of the players remaining from rounds two to five to being four, two, three, two
they've always at least had a duo still standing at the end of the ground which has actually edited
them on a couple of occasions and now very challenging for arcade back to
to catch CCTV, press back on to the Tachanka, no smoke.
And last time there was a big extension bedroom side,
probably expecting something similar
because it was successful last time.
You know how to find a lot of positives right now
but okay, after that open around,
so much went right just give up the four rounds after that now find yourself in a bit of a
hole find a opportunity to see if they can muster up a second attacking round the bit
What do you think he can make up?
Come on, block, so 0 and 5 here in this game, 29 EPS, 0-2, and the entry. He's at a rough one.
What it takes is just one good round to solve, which what's been a pretty difficult half for him and his team.
And he goes back onto the effort, last scene on this site, back in the third round.
He was the opening depth in that round, so he didn't really get to play with the yokais.
Oh, wow, that's nasty.
Cast the blessing.
Wins the entry despite the burst from Bailey.
doesn't last long though. Walsh again. Opportunity. Walsh is so active for Rage. Yeah. He's not
particularly playing low risk, or high risk. They're actually just well calculated. Hence
the 10 month scoreline for him. So again, short lift advantage for the attack and the
rest of this final round of the half arcade will be a grind. Hibana out. Pressure though
already being laid in through con pink here again shop shop and it's not like
pink who's had one of those you know big double-digit kill kind of games but he
just finds a way to get impactful kills there's another one on the box so it's
gonna be a five-to-one leave for Bobby boys they're real cold they're real
questions finals and this is just a match that's in their way that they want to
sweep aside as quick as possible five straight to close the half
I thought it's a fun to bring away with me today
I'm just feeling too great
It's okay
I'm just in touch with you, I went too late
I'm just feeling too speculated
I'm clear, I guess my faith is gone
Innocence and honesty, signalling my brilliance
Living in this harmony, it's hard to see the change
Ignoring the poverty, we're thinking of resilience
To drink and dip my arms, to read the mask, to know the pain
I symbolize the vigilance we need to rise above it
It makes our hearts to breathe, but we're livin' in the flames
So may rhythm so we influence the youngest
So that we promise to see the motion grow into the names
Lady up and studyin', and prayin' try your own way
What it takes to make change, none of these
The thing is sure me, distraction done range
Money, guns, for every door
Symbolize the sustain, it's peace
Oh, hard luck if we had to fight, we had to die
That's why we ain't seen another Thomas and Carl
Who are you when you can change all the fortunes of your people?
I'm tired too, I used to blame Western forces for being
I'm tired too, I'm choosing pain and let my hatred try to greet you
I'm asking, can I really fix?
Forget the poverty we've been through, puppets in our section
Check the streets above, you'll always leave
And I'm not still collecting, I'll try to protect my own peace
I
As we return to headed to the second half and it's flying straight for Bobby points on their path to closing this
particular game out
emphatically
The job's not done just yet.
OK, go defense.
They can certainly win a couple of rounds
on the stronger defensive sites.
Keep this one going a little bit longer.
Again, we ran the numbers.
They had a 0.1% chance still at finals,
but needed all three points here.
Certainly cannot allow Bobby Boyce to even get to six.
Sorry.
They need to essentially win themselves six straight rounds
if they are to still have any chance at making top four,
there might Monte, Kaid, and Bandit are the bands.
There's as many bombs as they can.
Organisers ready?
Use it if you have to.
Organisers.
Yeah, certainly no surprise that they're in terms of band phase.
Probably the most standard set that you can get here on the club.
And down the basement through the opening round here,
Arcade is need to try and grind their way through.
This is best as possible but you ride every round from here is now incredibly critical.
The Barbie boys though, they'll be looking to exchange the momentum that they gathered back in the first half and translate it across here to attack.
Some significant switch ups in terms of their composition for this round.
I don't know if that was unresponsive what they saw or even if it was just the fundamental
side itself but the inclusion of the clash, pardon me the blitz here will be intriguing
to see how we didn't see the blitz selected at all back in the first half, was it primarily
likely to play the black bit and the inclusion of the docker beer as well, we'll see if
alongside the lion, barbie boys were able to isolate some of these defenders.
Walsh is staring at the flames, well he's been quite hotting himself this game, 10 and 2, 1-0 on the entry.
He positioned blue as Wizard falls immediately Bailey traded quickly though by Azus and they do these blitz
Pressure got the opening kill
Good early pressure here though from Bobby boys. They want to end this quick
They don't expect to play it. Why are you getting dropped?
Well, not really. Might be successful
No whilst Wizard and a quick turn around kill tried to pull the pistol out boxo had him timed pink who was there for the trade
that was sharp. Very quick, and
it means arcade are now officially
out of making finals. Yeah,
they're a quick worker from
there just able to carve through
blue and then a really good
position from Welsh. Able to
deny the two players that
remained above on the first
floor.
Now just one way from being able
to close this out and it will
dominant result tonight here in Oce the
I suppose at this point triple curtain razor for the the two big dogs cheats and EP up next
Barbie boys eagerly wanting to join
them
What that either of those two are confirmed just yet, but the expectation will be that they are and Barbie boys ultimately
Again operating under the assumption they got to win this match highly likely that they could still find themselves a pretty serious
Scrap all the way down to the final playday to make top four finals. So
It would be very interesting to track their run over the next couple of weeks, nothing
is guaranteed for them at this point.
I mean, what do you make of Walsh, what a game individually, probably a barring something
that happens in the next game will be our MVP for the day, 12 and 3.
1-0 on the entry, 86% cost, 179 EPS, and he of course a view back and kick also, it feels
like he's going to be sticking around for a while until he won.
Yeah, something hasn't put much of a foot wrong over the last 45 minutes or so, it's
been cleaned for me, man.
It's been impact as well.
really just being exit frags on defense who's getting proactive and
when he kills back typically when the team was at a disadvantage and you know
could just play there in terms of attacking pro-s and while they'll be
fighting from behind here in the first match point round courtesy of Quicks who
unfortunately falls garage side three targets available here to Walsh on the
Deimos for this round.
To ground utility, the Zona canister is invested from Loyal
to slow down the Kennel side breach although it is eventually opened up and he'll now be subject to the death mark.
You know, I don't want to curse him, but he's the way he's playing right now.
He seems like you can get two players every round.
So even though it's a 5v4, the way he walks playing, it's
still a decent chance for my boys.
Four and a half.
Oh good shot there from Loyalith, Pinker goes down. Now he gets his one at the window.
Loyalith wants to take a peek as well. Now he's tucked in left side.
Needs to try and get Walsh into this game. Walsh will be successful though.
But here he can now give it another chance and another chance he will take!
Gets that kill but caught, halting in as this catches him at the window.
Walsh just pushed up top red, needed press to win that battle.
Walsh hasn't gotten to kill this round. Surely can't get all three. It feels like
Arcade. I'm very much likely to get there second round. Yeah especially with the
clash here it should be pretty simple for Wizard to stall out and offer intel. Walsh
will give it his best shot though nothing to lose at this point. You can park along
close to left maybe it's possible but has a raid. Sorrow at least swing. Decent
response from Walsh but ultimately overrun. Good work from Arcade. Sharp start to the
round from Loyal with the barbie boys unable to recover.
We go again. Four more required for Arcade to pull off an upset. Of course, one point
already secured for barbie boys. That now puts them on eight points. Play Enterprise
tomorrow though in my mind that's kind of a free swing I mean they'd love to get
that result which would maybe then save them the hassle of having to do a you
know kind of a two-or-die playday seven game against rival and they don't win
that then yeah the game against rival likely to me it's kind of just shaping
up to be that's the game win and you're in between those two for the final spot
inside of the top four shaping up at least not a guarantee but it's on that
pathway. I knew that that was always going to be a challenge. Clash in your
face, top red, they knew exactly where he was.
We get to go back down to basement which last time out, my boys went with
absolute aggression. They bought the Blitz line combination, rushed in, got a
good couple of kills. We'll see if they opt to try and repeat that or go a little
bit more conventional changing by the lineup it seems like it'll be more the conventional route
oh yeah let's see how much more RK can eke out of this match up there
officially the potential spoilers to the party now for the their remaining opponents including
now this match probably boys will be looking to tidy the entry here this time around that
that alleviate a lot of that pressure in the mid-round,
but right on cue.
And unfortunately for them, is not converted,
or at least not found,
so I'll isolate Pinku, thanks to no matter if the board,
and that may open more opportunities later in the round
for this defense to aggress.
The funny thing with these kind of games is the longer this goes on the more nerver you
can get if you're barbie boys.
You can drop a couple of rounds, it's not the end of the world.
Chance though for Bayley, converts on the Sira and looking across.
Oh, lovely!
Turn around onto Boxo as well.
It was sharp, it was quick, and it's quite damaging.
Now it gives the numbers advantage to barbie boys.
I still have asses on the clash which can at least try and offset a little bit the defensive
approach but they are now very weirded offensively you know Wizard who 0-6 lost the clash kind
of leaves a lot into the basket of Loyalith in the fracking department.
It does and it'll now need to be a calculated play from the clash how much do you want to
play shield up as opposed to planted
do this
TV 4 in terms of gun play
To exchange that out for the information and the stroller that the cusher can offer. It's a tricky
decision now to make
What if I seconded the board single bit of stroller you till available here for arcade the barbie boys
You see what we pushed her for the kitchen drop?
Visibly play under said drop
I mean, he's still got another Vulcan down, it's a dirt, but there's not gonna be a dirt push, that's kind of a wasted utility.
Wizard doesn't know that, and he keeps himself pretty safe and tucked in over towards dirt, but he's also then split away.
In fact, all three of them largely are. Loyalist just kind of wanted to get some information, and then that forced Wizard out of dirt, trying to backfill in.
It falls apart for all that says nothing you can do
Well, it wasn't quite seven straight after losing the opening round
But it was done near close by the boys 7-2 beatdown against arcade on their quest for finals. It's another
victory
But let's be honest there's more work ahead of them guys and they're not locked in they need to
Still get results. They play enterprise tomorrow. That's gonna be a difficult game
and all eyes really then on playday seven then what will be their last game against rival to me that looks like that's the big one
Yeah, I think I would very much agree with that sentiment the job is not done
That's the biggest takeaway. It's a victory that they can be happy about but it's still a top week ahead and potentially
Next week as well both games for them should still be
highly influential in terms of where they finish in the standing so good job
today but plenty more seed required from them of a high standard if they are to
make top four. Now they've only dropped one game so far this stage that was back
in playday two against she so for all intents and purposes it's been a really
good stage the only problem is two of those wins were in overtime one of them
against man over third the other against six targets last week but otherwise
What's been a very good stage up until this point now also, I think a good timely test as to where they really aren't against enterprise tomorrow
Now for Bobby boys, they're kind of set up really nice than the stage walls with a standout performance 14 and 4
164 EPS clears standout MVP for this game and by the end of the day he may be there as well
Yeah, absolutely. It was insane today. Big cost, big impact. And there were a couple
of rounds where Bobby boys weren't in the best position, but then he kind of took it
upon himself to make a play and find that opening. So credit to him. And just another
point as well to quickly make for Bobby boys that they're very different from now has been
given a big boost, especially in comparison to the rest of the comp. So it could potentially
be different to make a pending their other results.
Well, let's go and chat with
the leader of a team in
prayers after their win
against arcade 72. Congratulations
mate on what was a pretty
comfortable win in the end. Not
a lot to maybe say too much
about this game. I guess in
some ways arcade and opponent
that's at the bottom of the
standings, clearly having a
difficult stage for you guys.
It would have been come in. Get
the job done. You've done that
now. You can move on and moving
to a team that's on the higher end?
I think for us, it's just about playing to our game plan and playing to our strengths, you know.
Obviously, a lot of teams can go up against E.P. and say, oh, it's E.P.
We're just going to get smashed, y'all, y'all, y'all.
I think for us, it's just about going to that game and knowing how well we can play
and bringing that to the table.
Hopefully, it's enough to get the job done against E.P. and I think it is.
Yeah, just I guess extending on that a little bit. How do you try to prepare the team for
that? I guess as a leader on the team, someone with a lot of experience, you know, you've
been in these big host games time and time again, do you sort of feel an element of responsibility
to be the leader on this team and show that confidence and hope that the rest of the team
can buy into that?
Yeah, I think every game for me is like my role is just that leadership figure. And I
I think for the AP game, it's just going to be a lot of composure and resetting, that sort of mental side of the game.
We've got the frag potential. We've got the strategies in place. It's just going to come down to that game day mentality, and I'm sure we're ready for the fight.
Walsh was at his very best tonight, Prez. What are your thoughts on watching him play? Obviously you've been around the block now, so you've seen the good, the bad, and the up-and-comers.
The up and comers, where do you kind of put him and what his future can have?
You know, I've always been the one to kind of pick up those up and comers.
And I wouldn't put it past him to be to be one of those those next big names in the house.
Yeah, it's good.
It's everyone on this team has kind of got that ability to have that big,
that big pop off game.
So they got MVP last week.
Obviously, Pink who's had some stellar performances and even Zeke,
like it's his prop like debut comp season.
And he's been really consistent throughout every game.
So really happy with how everyone's performing at the moment.
I will give you the floor, mate, before we let you go.
Anything you'd like to say?
Not too much.
Just thanks everyone for supporting us in the chat.
We definitely see your messages.
So thanks, heaps.
And we'll get the job done and see you play tomorrow.
Congratulations again on the win.
Prayers and best of luck tomorrow against the enterprise.
It's going to be a difficult game,
but I'm sure you guys are up for it.
Yeah, it'll be a good one.
So, 7-2, 7-1, 7-2.
I hope that doesn't mean 7-1's on the count in the next game,
guys, because it's our match of the day.
Chiefs taking on Enterprise, the old grudge match,
the best two teams in the region,
and an opportunity to see who can come out on top in our next game.
Hopefully not.
Fingers crossed.
The live-standing second versus third,
very difficult to split these two.
I guess just one quick fun fact before we we do throw to the break
Chiefs the only one of the two with the one point lead that could potentially actually jump back ahead of man e sports
But it would actually be relying on a dominant result given how the round differential has shaped up
So many sports could walk away still top dog at the end of the night that chiefs EP should give it scrap
Absolutely. All right, we're gonna go to the break when we come back. It's the big one chiefs versus enterprise
who can claim to be the best in the region will find out very shortly.
I was really happy when I was playing.
I was one of the characters that I used to get emotional about.
I talked to the people around me.
But when I was 5 years old,
I was told that I didn't know much about young players than I did recently.
So I was a little sad, but it was fun to play alone.
I think the current team has a more free atmosphere.
My role is to play as an OP character, to play as a good character, and to do anything.
The atmosphere of the team is much closer to each other now, and the language is more comfortable to communicate in Korean.
I think the environment itself is good.
The role of SeolSang's older brother is the head coach, DongWook.
I think I'm about 24 years old, and I'm about 24 years old.
Compared to Cloud9, we've changed a lot of things, and the times have changed.
So, if we were to say that we're very systematic and a bit tough,
now, we've changed our playstyle and picked our own.
I think we've done a lot in the previous teams.
But in this team, we all have a lot of experience, and we're all high-level players in the game,
so we're all doing well.
I think the team I want to win the most in this stage is DPLUS.
And because they are the best team in the world,
if they win, I think we can go to the level where we can't go to Brazil.
I really want to win.
Bring it away to the zone, they tried to tell me it couldn't be done
And we're all in the same team
Take the action, come on, get the knife
Move the action, flash, flash, get him up, kill him
Take the action, move the action
Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
So how am I gonna move?
Damn it.
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
It's a little painful, but it's okay
Move your body
Yeah
Your breath
Save me everything
Me
Let me
X-Files!
I'm not here yet
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Got me!
We were at one point you can say regardless of 7-5 as a close game, we were that close
two beating them in the first place and they went on to top eight that major. So it's not like
we don't want to be putting ourselves in a situation where like oh yeah boys we can get second but
then everyone else is chasing us. We want to be chasing EP so the gap between you know whoever's
coming after us like obviously we haven't even got second yet so I can't even say we're the second
best team. This is first game day so it's definitely I think we're going towards that mentality of
we want to be chasing down first by Snot looking for second.
Well as we heard from Nate they're not looking to finish second guns they want that top spot
as of right now, they are in
second, but the team in the
top spot is not enterprise, so
a pretty big game ahead for
these two juggernauts of the
region, certainly a grudge
match, a revenge match in some
ways, and certainly a really
good little prelude to what
finals may bring. Again, the
oceanic region with two slots
the Esports World Cup, and he, I
think before the stage began
losses as well last week against the Academy so a bit of work to do. Yeah and a bit of a grudge
match potentially as well. We have a little special graphic for this particular match up and
it's a direct screenshot battered with a comment earlier in the year saying kept what mattered,
upgraded the rest, appreciating the trust from EP of course in reference to the roster changes that
they made in the past, the Superteam that they now have been able to build unfortunately relays
and the player on the receiving end of those particular changes and I suppose in a way
Bapham has at least for now got in the last laugh with that performance at Six Invitational
part of me at Salt Lake City where they were having to make main stage and they'll be looking to
go one step further provided they can qualify for EWC. Now at the back of this we're going to have
a little Chiefs roster right now inside of the top three EPS for the region is player
funnily enough. He's a hundred and sixty in EPS. He's having a very, very good stage so far. He is
only behind Bapham and Jigsaw. So he's right up there. And interestingly enough as well, Jigsaw,
Bapham are one and two respectively. Then it's a player and then in terms of this matchup,
you've got lunchbox and then relays before you get to two half. So in terms of the widespread
performance, Chiefs have been a bit better than Enterprise who have been a little bit more reliant
on their two star gunners. And so I think that's where there's been some really good
success for Chase this stage. Of course, day two, like Enterprise ended up losing to
Shay Academy last week. That one at least was in overtime. But the one concern for me
was they had just seen Enterprise lose to Shay Academy. Then, therefore, I remember
actually, I think I was speaking to Nate after the game event, that particular result
and not wanting to take Shay Academy lightly, being about losing it the next time anyway.
Ultimately, I think we've achieved what happened before going into that game.
Had they believed in Shaikhaidim, I would have had them as the number one team in the region at the moment.
That's how good they've been going.
You drop that, you lose an OT, you lose a couple of brownie points.
Now you're going to bounce back against EEP, who they themselves are of course looking to rise back up with the standings.
It's set up perfectly for this game, especially for these two ahead of finals, getting pretty much the last opportunity to see each other before they may meet later in the finals.
Yeah, I'm really excited to see how Chiefs approach this particular match up their opponents, of course, for the night.
EP, again, goes without saying that they are such a strong particular roster on paper, and yeah, sure, a couple of blemishes here or there.
The Loser against Shroekademy does stand out, but there is a massive asterisk on that particular result, given that they were playing with supremacists as a substitute for Endo, who did full ill.
He's now back, full five roster, and we'll see how they do play out.
I wonder as well what the approach is going to be, not just from them in a playstyle aspect,
but it goes as far back as the map veto.
Are they going to look to try and play a more open and fluid map that can lend itself in
for the more volatility?
To literally like we've seen on Chalet for instance, or do we see more structure, a clubhouse
which is being sort of favored this evening?
It's going to be intriguing to see, but a great test for both teams really.
I don't think there's a super duper clear favorite in this matchup, but if we had to
It's probably unfair to say that it isn't EP given that they are really good.
Yeah, I think that for Enterprise, they're going to be too fast about best of ones and going flawless in the regular stage.
They know for a while what their capabilities are.
After what was a very, very good Salt Lake City major, they came back.
And I think in some ways, this is also just a little reminder that as good as you can be,
You can also come back and have a down stage or have a couple of down matches
It's all about what the mentors like when those moments do arise such as the lost to shy Academy how you bounce back
Don't forget they had Brenda way out as well for a particular night
So he's back in hopefully all good to go as we head to the vetoes for this match
You know spin that rule at will and see exactly what kind of map that will be facing both teams will be a little standoffish
I think in revealing all too much
And so probably wasn't expecting for just to make it through that all the way to the very end, but it almost did
eventually banned out by
EP alongside the chalet of cheese is a good man and bank it ends up being an absolute
Classic map for us for big matches for great teams and this is gonna be a real test
I mean you look at the records since
Basically the start of the year for one for chiefs on bank their last win against enterprise
to be the best teams in the
region. Let's be honest. No
offense to man. LFO. They've
got some proving still to do
confinals time of which they
will be there. It's a matter
of who's going to be joining
them. Will it be chiefs? Will
it be enterprise? One of the
shouldn't be the best teams in
the region. Let's be honest. No
offense to man. LFO. They've got
some proving still to do
confinals time of which they
the league and the
team. It's a big game coming
up. It's the battle to be
basically labeled the best in
the region. Forget Salt Lake
City. Get everything that
happened prior to this game.
Chiefs EP battling to be the
kings of OCE. Very eager to
load into this one. It does
have a different aura about it.
Both of these two teams is a
serious rivalry and a good
opportunity to settle it, at
least for now. Now they're
now over the course of the group stage and who knows what the finals will have in store it would
not be shocking to see a potential rematch in future and with two slots on the line at EWC
we may potentially be bearing witness to the two teams to qualify here tonight but that too
also not a guarantee as you literally just said it is second versus third and in fact even if
Chiefs win tonight. They may also not propel themselves into that first spot. If this is to be a close victory, E.P., by trailing the leaders of man, LFO, by four points, they cannot physically make it into first by the end of the night.
And that's going to be a continual talking point for seeding, come finals. As the bands conclude, Clash, Kai, Leave, Blitz, and Ace.
What a game this promises to be. It's not quite Grand Final, it's not quite EWC decider.
In some ways with the region having two slots now, one thing we do miss out on which is usually the
classic staple within the region is a matchup such as this in the Grand Final-esque appearance
where there's only the one slot, the one winner and those have always provided such high quality
games high quality entertainment much to the disappointment for the loser. In terms of the
repercussions for this game they're not too large both teams have got a decent gap for those
outside the top four and of course still two play days to follow of which neither will play each
other again so I mean this is the kind of game where there's pretty much nothing to lose but quite
a bit to gain maybe the respect the jeeps if they can win against enterprise plus the points as you
you alluding to to go up to 13 and the EP may be also just a bit of a statement
to just remind everyone they're still the best
now let's jump into this one though it's player to initiate entry of
towards lone on the snake and what you can see before you just how extensive this room is from
EP so they're aggressive in this first round they're taking it to the attack and it's jigsaw
with the wall bang and they're all reactive in the old chat I thought that maybe it would
temper a little bit in a match of this stake but evidently that is not to be the case.
I feel like they'll double down and if chiefs can I tell you what if chiefs start winning
a couple of rounds as well. That'll keep it back. They do get one back as well. Threw
Napchill, they get rid of Bapin on the bench. Oh, Jakenna had to be careful. Two hard-op
claws. Got the guard breaking the kill. Swift headshot. He knows it's another one. Just loitering.
That three-lays on the through lobby. It's lunchboxed over the good angle. They had the
pinch to cut off. And he too is going to get outnumbered. Good shot back from Jigsaw.
Brenda as well. She's on the lunchbox. Or it's just kind of sitting on the floor. Brenda
We'll put lunchbox out of his misery. They haven't quite been able to finish off to hunt just yet
But no one
Get close enough for the revive in fact, maybe using him as a bit of bait. They got the pinks
Relays gets the kill
Relays a napkin more the cable and it's a drop straight down into vault now from relays nap tune as well has
Followed came to inside its only Cairo that's in the site
But he is able to get off the cam in time to find the kill that tune gets the trade drop down into vault now
Sorry, he's into server from Brenda.
Yeah, he has so much U-Tool that he can lay here.
If he let the plant go down, it could be dangerous.
Yeah, I started to move, I'm getting off the plant.
He does have 40 seconds, doesn't need to commit.
He just wanted to bait them out a little bit.
On the move, but shot the back, it's Kharo.
That clutch was up in sight.
I got a little dicey for Enterprise in 2 vs 3 when the 2 go direct, but in the end,
Kharo just times it perfectly, getting off his cams, getting the kills, and they get
The opening round.
The basement on Bank is obviously a very good site.
We just didn't see much of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was aggressive offside early there for MEP,
and they elected not to
peel to site immediately.
Some of that was subject to the defense not being in a position that they could peel,
but even the likes of Jigsaw, for instance, still up above open.
That opened the path for the default here,
and Kairi was so close to getting caught out there, gold.
With a couple of seconds to spare that he got off
Ops tool is then able to play thumb up and was influential towards the tail end of the round so
So I'd work there from EP
We play tactic that prior round unfortunately I got caught over towards the loan and even their canner
Not particularly influential in that round and the like so I guess in some respects
It was quite fortunate that they even got it this close in the end testament to those that were able to produce results elsewhere but
EP largely dominant in that opening round
I think those are the kind of rounds if you achieve, if you're going to lose rounds here
on bank to EP, you want to lose the scrappy ones where at least it's a 2v3 at the end,
there's some fighting going back and forth, a little decision making moments, kind of
go against you, that's fine.
You just have to be in these rounds all the time, so always keep the pressure on in this
first half on the attack and cheese will be very much aware that EP are gonna like to play these
off meta positions running around the map explore at times go for runouts at times look for
and the glass and sends
combination employed this round for a piece on the attack.
The warden counter though for the glass is going to be the nuisance although I don't think the glass is going to be the overwhelming focus here for chiefs.
They've only got the two smokes brought into the round.
We have avenues with the sends as well in terms of wincon
This is a interesting one
Quick electrical entry I was like I don't want to smoke school out there. Okay commits. Oh my god, Jake
straight through the smoke
Now goes for the plan
Lunchboxes to try and watch while that smoke is still up.
Play it will be successful.
Jaykenneth's on one HP.
I don't know how he gets out of this position alive if he does.
He's a very fortunate man.
Lunchbox, headshot onto Bappin.
He's exquisite.
As he pops up, doesn't find anything initially.
Player towards elevator will need to get involved.
And he does, he gets the kill onto Brando.
Lunchbox gonna be shot once again.
It's Jigsaw who gets onto the kick,
trying to draw them out, it's Lunchbox through the wall, it's the shot and another one!
How about that one from the young kid? Huge round from Lunchbox and Chiefs will get the second round!
Yeah, well that was me.
But it's Jake Kenner that set it up!
I know, exactly. There was some sharp shooting in that round and Jake Kenner's effort should not be discounted.
Clearly the strat there is to deploy the ROU to cover archives and go fast to the electrical
And I don't know if it's pre-emptive or if it was reactive there from the defense, but the smoke was perfectly
Poised the gas bay perfectly poised to steal them out
And I think jkna would have been within every right to just halted and be like alright
I'm not pushing through that but not only does he push forward and say alive he hits an insane shot entry there over
towards the cross position and
lunchbox cleans up elsewhere and I think chiefs will be very pleased
That round EP not so much its archives up next so not heading to top four
Interesting decision decision by enterprise but looking to kind of test the strategic depth of chiefs
Well after the games that we had earlier tonight or the seven two seven one seven two
The hope really is this one goes back and forth and it's a real heavyweight balance
triple nitrocell available for the defense. Nook-Demos combination, it'd be
interesting on the initial entry for chiefs how they want to enter the
building whether it's potentially that nook lurk down below make their way up
maybe Daemos top down. This is gonna be the kind of site that's gonna really
utilize most of the map here on bank. We saw top floor on the solace back in
able to also get drones as well on the mozzie and then you got kairou roaming
around on the oryx enterprise are gonna really want to play the width of this
map
yeah cautious at the moment from ap I think they'll be looking to extract
value from the valkyrie this round there's the counterplay though available
elsewhere, top square, double stack, lunchbox, and jcanna able to take that ground alongside
relays. Uncontested for now, but there is the threat of that triple nitro line up from
EP. And so chiefs need to be extra considerate of that. Playing in the meantime before the
lobby repel is you tap now start the pressure over towards me maybe try and
to draw out this defense they'll be expecting this elevator hold to harm to
play that position the mirror window facing what it does make it a little
more challenging to simply walk up it's like a test in that so it's strategically
here from AP a lot of layers to the defense and it's forcing chase to be
You're quite cautious.
In some ways, if Chiefs can just try and isolate where these defenders are and then bring bodies up,
they should be able to outnumber most of these lines.
There's one.
Bapin gets caught over to Orzatalus that allows the entry in for player.
Two Han takes a chunk of damage. Do you still have double natural?
Kara playing vault down below. He's way back up pretty quickly on the oryx.
Wouldn't be surprising if he makes his way back over towards main lobby.
Lungebox headshot onto Jigsaw. He's hot right now.
And he's also denying Kara the ability to jump back up.
So Kara's going to have to find a different avenue to get involved.
That's exactly what he's going to go do. And he goes to lobby.
Jakenna's watching, waiting. They read the plate perfectly.
Lunchbox will get the plant down. He's doing it all at the moment. Kills and planting Brando by himself.
Don't just throw it up by Brando. It doesn't connect. I know exactly where he is now.
It seems as if it's going to be two straight rounds for Chiefs and what a round to do it on as well.
Tell us Archive doesn't get played often.
EP wanting to test out Chiefs and Chiefs have passed with flying colors.
Yeah, very much so. Chiefs had the tools and the positioning to counteract things like
that, the mirror window, the bulk, etc. Even the Oryx was accounted for their late round
from Chiefs. So I credit to them that a good read across the board and I think they approached
it in a fairly sensible manner, not having to take a lot of risk to extract value and
the clear was efficient. That was the third appearance of that particular site in Oryx
so far this stage 50-50 up until that point but we'll now tilt evidently more towards the attack
back down to a more traditional basement here for round number four the echo taken away from Cairo
and the Monty to join Blitz as the double shot back.
I mean they just read the RX play so while good initial entry onto Bap and that just opened up
the door to go in through Talos. The Chiefs really also bided their time, didn't rush early into the
round. They weren't desperate to try and gain too much ascendancy within the first minute,
minute and a half. They kind of assessed the situation, drained out, got info, played or
thought. That's a really solid round in terms of their overall macro mechanics.
And it's really good team effort so far as well for more five players having an impact,
the box is leading the way. It's had an intriguing career. It has
launched off to kind of burst onto the scene a little bit. Not
one of the biggest bursts onto the scene, but certainly a really
good sort of baby season. I'd say this year he's kind of getting
back to his best and maybe showcasing that he's got room
to get even better.
If you want leaders, naturally makes his way in towards CEO. We're
going back down below. This is where EP have had success.
It's active again on site though from AP, last time out they really didn't want to peel.
There's not a part of the game plan.
We'll see if this time they're a little more reserved and happy to play more anchor or
if again they'll double and triple down above here and force the clear from cheese.
Jigsaw retains position open area, Mappen at Occupy Elevator, and Brembo will do his
hold Blue Stairs. Mappen takes first contact, but he'll fall back so it's time for you to
get to him from the Grimman. There's the drop from Jigsaw, so this time around, EP a little
more content in falling back, and it means now all five players basement with the asterisks
of Brendo still over at Blue side. But even Hebel repositions are not wanting to solo
that part of the map. Exchange is actually with Cairo. So maybe just repositioning those
smokes in a position that can be more effective for the rear hit and Cairo to play up close
shot them. Again, it's very evident she's so happy to just play the time game ourselves.
Triple stack over to square, and closer to Kyro, who is currently playing Blue Stairs,
but he's sensing the pressure.
Balls back a little bit, then slowly makes his way back up.
Now that hatch has been opened up.
Kyro could be in a little bit of trouble here, but if he does die, and if he only dies in
the next 15-20 seconds, then time becomes the factor for Chiefs, and the drop-down will
be successful.
Alright, tries to chance his opportunity. Didn't quite connect with the first shot. Doesn't get a chance at the second. Overwhelmed. 40 seconds 5v4 for Chiefs.
You're okay considering the position. Jay cannot with the fusing. Volcan canvases.
Volcan canvases late, you know. Volcan canvases clocked. And so there might be a narrow opportunity for the default plant here.
Keeping in mind, there is still the one nitro available. And Brando, three gaspades.
Yeah, and that's gonna be where you need to get some mainstayers' pressure, try and get really fighting while the utility is sent out.
And suddenly, there's only 15 seconds left.
What this will also do is have to force through, push through the smoke.
And Jake Hanna has already shown that he can very much do that.
There's the kill onto Jigsaw. Now they'll all go together.
Jake Hanna pushes deep, going for the plant.
Neck chit holding the angle. Noses one, Gerrard, wants to kick him preoccupied.
Gets the kill anyway onto Two-Hard. It's only Bap and left. The plant goes down.
The rush from Chiefs will be successful.
Everyone understood what they needed to do.
Played their roles perfectly.
Player doesn't make a move main stairs.
As Bapin pushes in towards CCTV,
player will start and then most likely pushing behind him.
Bapin taps the kit.
Player pushes in, but it's Launchbox who gets the kill.
Three straight for Chiefs.
Yeah, it was nice work there from Chiefs late round.
It was pretty dire for them, even with the fuse for the utility clearance.
The path forward for even just entry into site looked tough.
The layering of utility from Brenda was on point, but
they got broken apart in other ways, other points of the map.
Hatshrop as well, ultimately a success.
Over towards red, like there were opportunities of plenty there for.
AP to lock out that round but just enough shown there enough dimensions to the attack that they
were able to break down the back line. AP responding with attack time out.
I mean it is bank attack. The teams can usually have some really good success on this side of the
map but I think they're stressing too much too quickly. They themselves will be very very strong
on their own attacking side. I'm honestly probably thinking this might end up just being
an attack-assided bank. Both teams have got really good quality on their entries and
attack of win rates. Bank is also statistically right now in Oceania, the most attack-assided
map, although it just sits at 50%. It is still number one.
They just played the time management really well, they knew what their wincon was, they
had to get that main stairs push, they got it, they got a good couple of crucial kills
as then J.Kennon was going in for the plants with good cover, everyone just understanding
their roles and executing and that's where you're getting the round wins from.
You know, E.P. aren't necessarily doing a lot wrong, I mean Jesus, just playing some
really good seeds right now, and E.P. are just going to have to respawn now, get the
climb out get a rev up from mag you know again here under the fifth round two
opportunities in the half to get some more defensive rounds on the board
he over opened and we are able to observe sort of what their approach will now be
for these last few rounds half as we saw on several occasions at Salt Lake City in
particular mag often had really strong reads on the opposition and was able to
articulate that in a short period of time and set the team up then for
success going forward and how to counter what the opposition is looking to try and
achieve so we'll see what they do this time around against Chiefs.
Nothing to dock with the Damos line-up combination on the side of the attack and we know that
that could be incredibly difficult to play against for the defense it'll be
reliant on them trying to arguably contest that as much as possible and
at least take one down but if that's not possible play tight one with one another
because trades are going to be critical in supporting the defenders of the
subjects to either the payload or the trackot.
Patient at the moment early from Chiefs they've been longing this build-up
place so I'm not taking massive risk early. There is that burst of death mark and
they double down the call on the friendo over towards front desk and they
at the kill. It doesn't seem like that will be the case. Brando holds firm. No additional
pressure layer to force him to hold that front desk position.
Yeah, it's again another round though where Chiefs are just choosing when they want to
go and when they don't want to go. Gretel search, now push in. Jackanna lost his life
to Bap and finally they get one to go their way. Tujan also able to beat out Launch Block
so I think just got a little overzealous. He's having a very good game. Just went for the
solo push, shield down, losing his life. That actually goes kind of against the grain as
to what we've seen from Chiefs so far in this half where it's far more of that sort of togetherness
and pushing with numbers and having good trade potential. At that point, you know,
if Lunchbox goes down, there's just no chance of a trade. Same for Jay Cano.
Goes against the ethos of what we've seen from them so far in this half and puts Relay's Neptune
player in a very tricky position but better from EP and understanding when chiefs go, they really
just go and send it. This doesn't have been shut down. No Brenda lost his life, he got the down
onto Neptune, good clear though from player, he wants that revenge. Can I get that revival to
Neptune? That's actually the critical part of this round with 35 seconds, you get that revive,
it's a straight 3v3 and it looks like you'll get it. He has a death mark, player double call,
It's not over yet here for cheese, but
Enterprise are in a commanding position
Next kill is so crucial
I'm running low relays pushing down square hoping that someone will go for the swing tux into archives gets lids up prone
Gets the kill on the jigsaw five seconds now by himself
Arguably needs to find the two kills do so quickly one close threat. That's Cairo. There's the response from enterprise
much better in reading the play set by the attacking team as EP get their second round
and we keep going blow for blow here on bank final round of the half coming up
yeah I can't help but feel that the opening phase of that round from Chiefs was a little
undercooked against a team as disciplined and as well versed as EP that the call and the deathmark
combo onto Brenda I think maybe against some players or some teams would have
been enough to maybe dislodge you and make him feel uneasy he could then go
through high risk play get caught by player on the lobby for paladins as an
example but to the credit of Brenda he held his position very firmly did not
give away any low percentage fight and that actually added especially late in
the round where he had direct impact as well outside of the indirect impact
prize but so credit to Brenda and she's maybe just lacking an additional layer
in the first phase of that round exposed against the high-quality opposition of
enterprise they do still find themselves in the lead at least for now as we
through the top four final round of the half and we'll see if he can draw the scoreline
I mean, it's lived up to the building so far, hasn't it? I mean, this has been a really
entertaining half. You can see the mind games and the strategy that's being employed by
teams that trying to figure each other out.
Jeez went on a little bit of a good run. Of course, he started with that opening round
We're gonna get a second. They can tie this up 3-3. Yeah, that's a pretty good position. I think for both teams
It's as much of a drawer as you could possibly have
Watch him with the rotator to clear out the barbed wire on top and in the stairs
when the trash talking has well and truly subsided it feels like all 10 players have
really locked in.
So the player will work down below at the moment on the dockerby rest of the attack
on the fringe of the map, Neptune's deployed all of his Rateros and so he'll now look
to get gun up and a little more active, they don't have a ton more Utilic units elsewhere.
I'm intrigued to see what the game plan is here, I'm intrigued to see how they'll look
to realize that. Lunchbox with Kit, flipping candelos currently, and towards the site being
laid through, Jigsaw to make their move.
They can't against the opening kill, player that push up main stairs has caught Cairo
off guard. He was sitting there for a while, made his move, gets the kill. Where's the
response now from EP? Jigsaw playing long desk up close, though he wasn't ready for
playing, it just spruced in. Jigsaw just looked flat footed, they lose two harness welder nap
Tune and Brenda like one of the rounds early on the 1v4 does get one
Tacked up heavily
Player just looks rampage and in the end. It's the call that does the job
Cheese will take a four to two lead into the half
I would climb the highest mountain
I would take the T.V.C.
Just so I could make you feel
what I've been
And I'm gonna start
never really thought we'd make it
I'm right in the clouds
But I can see the world from up here
All you see is a good and empty
Good white knife
Way up here
I can see it so now
All the time
I am floating
On one side that's even see
Just how I can make you feel
All I feel
Just an endless sight
to a very strong position they just look like they're playing with a little bit more aggression like it means a little bit more to them. Whatever the reasons it may be. It seems quite apparent. But bank can lean itself certainly to a strong attacking stand out. We got that from cheese. Will we get that now from enterprise.
absolutely it's far too early to call this match either way but credit to
chiefs especially who at times when their backs have been either against the
wall or they've been a little compromised in some of those are attacking
patterns they fought really hard to make some awkward positions work so credit
to them in the first half we'll see if they can withstand the pressure from
E P the next several rounds dr. Be glass and out for the attack hide castle
defense top
Operator fire inside of the server as it stands still
Although if the stats to be updated soon probably player who had a couple of standout rounds later. What's tail end?
9 and 3 launch blocks though was the one who kind of kick started with all 6 and 2 who are
going to be the ones for EP the easy answers the likes of Bap and Jigsaw especially on the attack
Rendo having a decent game, Tuhan's been quiet
Just think that we go straight to top floor rather than straight to basement in this region
It's an 83% attack of win rate on CEO and executive
That's from six rounds make of it what you will but those are the numbers
And interestingly Kara goes on to the Monty
Oh
Relays lit up over the world's first four blue stairs
Well, it's finally sure how that got caught eventually even from top square
Is he subject to the e1d and he was just holding holding top blue stairs and watching electrical and jigsaw pushed through
Yeah, there you go the fire
Wow
That is a massive jewel for relays to be bringing out and frustrating for EP. Jigs are especially who now finds himself for seven
And just loses the deathmark potential the pressure that you can apply from down below
That's a really good catch from relays. Yeah, he's low on health, but he's already kind of done his job
Play so his razor blooms can get aggressive
And now I don't know as well with doesn't without the day moss. He's he's chilling down below exactly
He doesn't really need to move on muscle until
until APL light into this push. Maybe if the fence starts to fall then he moves, but otherwise
he just goes for the light flank whether it be square or main. He can still be a threat
in this round. Speaking of main, he has gone all the way up main stairs. He's now top floor,
so he got moving pretty quickly. Well this would be a great way to start the half of
your cheese, Neptune taking some damage, flamed down by Bapin and caught them by
Brendo, good little power play for EP between Brendo and Bapin. Kari pulled out
the pistol on the Monty connected with the head of J. Kenner, goodbye to the
Yokais in terms of the burst, reduced to get the info. He's now switching those
cams, one in long desk, which is currently where player is located, sensing the
pressure and sensing the fact that the Monty is now pushing closer towards the
site which realize in one HP this is now a very winnable round for Enterprise they
have completely changed the course of this seventh round. Kara is getting a
lot of information. Do you have a knife yourself but it's a lunchbox in Janitor?
One more way away. Plane is to go big here. Spotted out. Dead. Clean work from
AP and lunchbox also falls. So AP able to flip that round quite quickly very swiftly
achieves a little laxadaisical death in the mid round and it proves very very costly.
Yeah that's now like an 86 or 87 percent attack of win rate on that particular site in this region
from seven rounds that's proving to be quite difficult to defend they'll go base but they
tried their shot didn't work out but really solid round from enterprise just systematically
Hook that round apart and considering they lost jigsaw so early into the round
They just didn't panic they backed in what they wanted to do in the round what they envisioned with Cara on the Monty pushing up getting info
And that they kind of just got a bonus from him as well with the pistol kill onto Jay Kenner
You think about having that echo up. It's a really good help in dealing with the Monty getting the burst
You know dislodging the shield
So getting that kill onto Jay Kenner. I think really changed the course of the round
You can see the frustration there for chiefs. Order three, that's the start that
EP needed but now they're gonna win basement. And this is a classical
classical bunker denial set up for chiefs.
Yeah it looks like they might posture a little open area inside and assuming
lunchbox will play DMR, hatch open, he'll peel pretty proactively, could also be a whole
elevator from relays, hatched also pre-opened so as long as they don't ever stay there welcome
we are very much set up for a pretty old school bank, at least on the side of defense, EP will
have plenty of avenues to try and negate that, whether it be very quick server or hatch drops
late back hit, garage like etc and they'll assess those options over the course of the
round. They bring a pretty traditional lineup themselves outside of I suppose the solid
snake and Jigsaw tasked with finding information through the early round identifying what ears
and is not clear and they could also be influential late round if they are forced into a late
drop. It can really critical info the last portion of the round.
Kaira with the diffuser makes entry, does lunchbox stay, that does it drop.
Conservative decision decides the drop was also pinged out there by Jigsaw.
By the way, I was looking at some of the statistics on this game, there's not really any clear
can't stand outs. These have done a little bit better in the opening kills. It's not really
on the sheet that suggests this is one-sided and the scoreboard reflects that. Only the
one round differential.
Getting to work pretty comfortably on this square side here down through the server.
Cairo can go with the kit. That's clearly going to be their game plan. I mean this is
a classic long-casseted TV right now.
If you're a Chiefs, you're somewhat happy with this.
They're playing into your hand.
They're going to throw the bomb counter,
so you've got the Shamika, Lawn Shard, two Zodas left.
You've got two gas babes.
So what are E.P. going to do to essentially rectify this?
All five members of the defense,
they are going to ping by the solid snake as well,
so they're in rough positions, countered four,
and Jake Hanna on the Tachanka first lap.
That's the big one again.
Huge kill from Brenda.
What a game he's having.
8-5.
Long-range shot deals with one of the bigger denial threats,
but there are still two Gatsby from Neptune.
He wants to hold them for as long as possible,
knowing that he doesn't have the Shamika launcher anymore.
Neptune has to stay alive here.
There's one Throne.
22 seconds left on the clock.
Kyra is going deep though.
He's going inside of that Gatsby.
No, though, on Throne.
Doesn't connect.
Kyra is going to get the plant down
and then play Monty in the post.
Good shot as well from Brenda the cover is great. He's got a third in the round
He goes to double digits. It's old school Brenda
Lawless from enterprises they equal up this match at four to four
Brenda
Winding the clock back a couple of years from when he was the young gunner coming up in this region
Chiefs, tack time out.
And there have been some glaring issues in these first couple of rounds.
We think back to top floor, they fed two picks for free, no response, literally not even
straight gunfights.
That really helped E.P. unlock the side and win a round that didn't really look all that
obtainable.
We went to chancre dies first Neptune misses his U-Tool
No flank opportunity afforded to the defense
EP punished every single one of those mistakes and took each opportunity with both hands. They didn't second guess they didn't screw up
And ultimately animated is labored to make it work and Nate
Delivering a point of message to the team that this isn't good enough and if they don't turn it around quickly EP will start running away with the match
Yeah, I mean it's very evident though that yeah attack is the favorite side here in this match
But you've still got to go and get at least those two defensive rounds, which is what EP we're able to manage
The disappointing thing from their perspective is that they lost basement now
You can kind of lose the other sides, but you can't be losing basement
So they go again and they change it up massively because this is a
completely different line-up
If I caution to the wind, that must have been off the back of the messaging from Nate and the discussion that the team has had.
Looking to play structured anchored siege hasn't been working in the first two rounds.
How much of that has been asked versus EPs ability to counter it?
I think it's up for debate. I'd probably lean more so I have to choose failing to play positions correctly and E.P. kind of just took the opportunities that were presented to them.
But either way, a shakeup was needed, whether that be in how they play the sides or the site selections themselves have clearly gone the style approach.
And they're going to look to take the fight to E.P. in this round.
This could well be determined in the first 60 to 90 seconds, depending on just how aggressively Chiefs wish to play.
I mean, and look at the, look at the counter with the attacker re-pick.
They just go full aggressive as well.
I mean, this is just 10 aggressive players inside of the server in this ninth round tied four to four.
Jigsaw straight into ATMs.
Have a feeling, it's a gut feeling. We may not see much of the site.
Unless E.P. elect for a direct hit, Brendo is just lingering down in garage.
It's completely vacant. For what it's worth, there's no one in the site.
There's only one player in basement, actually Ken at bottom blue stairs.
Karo is the one to find the opening kill. It's under the visual of mech, and the pistol is strong, again, from Karo, not for the first time in this match.
And it dropped down into fold as E.P. switched gears. They go ultra-fast. It's forcing the fallback now from Chiefs, J.Kena, down, caught by Tuhang.
Chiefs wanted to play their own style, their own game, but E.P. are beating them at their own game.
Another Adrenal Surge activated by Jigsaw.
They're practically full health, 2v4, meeting this kill.
Relays will convert onto the Blitz, but it's only lunchbox left.
Drop down unsuccessful!
EP, take the lead!
Well, it was a cheeky attempt from Chase, but EP directly countered it.
That was by far the best round that they have played in my opinion so far here on Bank.
They identified the comp, they identified the setup and they knew exactly how to play against it, didn't put a foot wrong.
And as I said, the round likely to be determined within the first 60 to 90 seconds and they had boots on site within that time frame with a strong advantage and Chiefs, no response.
AP have built up significant momentum now as Chiefs find themselves really tested.
3 of the last 4 rounds now to Enterprise. They've got all of the momentum. They've got the lead.
And it's top floor from Chiefs. I already mentioned the earliest statistic. It's not kind for the defense.
But whatever reason, they just did not want to play start an open area.
You want the other fun fact? Staff in open area is the most defender sided site in the
region. It's 71%.
Interesting. I suppose when you consider that both the
the glass and the capitol are banned out and with operators such as the Mirror, which is
of course being played at the warden as well, those kinds of compositions of bands and free
operators should bolster top floor a little bit, but they go a little adjacent to that,
they bring the clash instead. There's army to try and make more of the site playable and
catch the fortified this will be an intriguing battle and a key one for
chiefs EP winners a 6-4 lead over time secured and I don't envision chiefs
being on a wrangled back that momentum it's gonna be tight and they're in a
very awkward position as well but the upcoming site selection if they are
unsuccessful here once more so it also makes I can't get the three points if
they lose this round. Which will also mean that Manel or Fogel retain top spot in Oce.
Kare's been very good on the shield plate tonight. Rendo's really done a lot of heavy
lifting as well in the franking department. So he's down for two harm, but he's started
to have more of an impact. They just look far more comfortable on the attacking side
of bank. I mean, it's been so to chiefs.
And they're just playing this again, really default.
The player gets an angle. Finally something to go the way of the chiefs. They get the
opening kill on the Kyra. That's the Blackbeard. He's being good. Tujan is tanked up heavily
as well. Now Ted stayed too close to the window on the rappel for too long. The player will
punish finally something to go the way of the chiefs for the first time in this
second half that's got the advantage a significant one now you very much can
stay tucked in play site play the set positions 60 seconds left and wait for
EP to make their move yeah credit to player up to 11 6 been a standout for
chiefs and EP unable to contain his aggro position in the site
He's available.
It's a player.
Not often you see Jigsaw unable to connect and player will take advantage.
He gets to kill.
He's third of the round.
Shot down though by Bappet at the window on the upside down rappel.
But Neptune gets rid of Brenda who's also having an incredible game.
5-5 is now looking incredibly likely.
Relays just pops just on the clash.
Oh, what a headshot! And Relay's jumped out! Hang on a second!
If Bappen had got that quick kill, it could have been interesting.
But now it's no longer interesting as he retreats to the roof.
He knows he can't get inside of the building the way he would like to.
Doesn't have the kit, no time. It's all tied up.
Players round, he was the difference.
Round 11 shapes up to be the biggest one of this gigantic match.
Who can win this to secure at least one point and deny the other from all three?
And I find out after this tech pause tech plus cool in the chat a what a remarkable effort though there from player takes it upon himself to
Play it open and expose aggressive position with the DMR
of course former member of this EP roster we highlighted the tweet earlier from
Bappin in response to the roster changes that were made where both he and
Relays were dropped out and the super team was then formed. Player there gets
the last laugh in that round but probably not the last laugh to be had in this
matchup EP I still can't help but feel her in a strong position and there's
going to be questions posed as to where Chiefs elect to go for this next defense.
That's sort of that round.
It hasn't been the best half for them.
Makes them blabbing out.
He looks a little bit more comfortable.
It was chill.
But the tactile out looked very intense.
Oh, he's listening to.
Plus, he cannot talk during the technical time out.
None of the coaches can.
None of the players can.
See, listen to the same music.
We're listening to.
He's bonking up and down.
I mean, look, it's been the game we wanted.
The game we've got, 5-5.
I mean, realistically, I don't think there's a world in which one of these two,
whoever loses, I guess, would miss out on finals.
I don't think that would happen.
But if you do lose it, you do have that very small chance
that it could happen. You don't like that feeling. It's not great looking ahead for
both of these two teams. Enterprise will play Bobby boys tomorrow. That's certainly not
a gimme. He played really well tonight. And then they play man off men LFO actually on
play day seven. I mean, then for chiefs, they play men LFO tomorrow night and then they play
arcade on play day seven. So looking at those two games, there's probably more to lose for
EP
Because there is every world in which a bother boys and men out of the phone could do the job on them in the best of one
I'm saying they would a people pretty good in his favorites in both of those games
But it's certainly a slightly tougher schedule compared to cheeks and she's of course do have the extra point over EP already naturally
We've been given word that several players
restarting their client and so presumably the lobby still up will be
ready to jump back in in in a few minutes and the three slots still remain
in the finals with an alofo claiming the first spot certainly not concrete in
terms of final position and seating but they can no longer be knocked out of the
top four as he said GXEP neither a lock but both hardly probable win here we go
a long way towards securing that if not officially at least very close to
opening kill conversion 10 rounds played 8 out of 2 that's a very high
percentage as well so clearly indicating that whoever can get those early picks
So you know statistically most likely to go on and win the round both teams had one where they didn't convert
So that's equal
You think about as we go into you know rounds 11 and 12. It's probably something to keep an eye on
You look at the multi kills two from player two from Brenda one from lunchbox
So that's been pretty equal three plants in the first half as well from chiefs only the one from EP in the second half
But admittedly they haven't needed to plant I
Mean it's as pretty equal as it as it can be
I mean, even in the opening kill department, it's 5-5.
I mean, there's nothing really separating these two at the moment.
Obviously, we heard that Nate interview Relate at the start before this game, and that was
back from Play Day 1.
Their goal is to be the best.
They're not happy to just be second fiddle, take that second slot.
They want to be the best in the region, and they're fighting for it.
The only one for chiefs that is going positive at the moment in a 5-5 game, he's been the
standout.
Brando 11 and 6 has been a standout for EP.
We get back into the game after the technical timeout has been sorted.
The tension is built and it's basement for chiefs again.
They have lost this twice in a row in rounds eight and nine.
Finally found salvation on the top floor.
But ready to give this another go with another whole new lineup.
That's the difficulty for Chiefs.
In those two losses going for two very distinct play styles,
two very different defensive compositions,
one with more classical peel back from open.
The second was a double down on the offside aggression.
And in that most recent round, AP identified it
able to execute the back hit they completely flooded site overwhelmed the
defense and chiefs were made to look second right so this feels like a
massive moment in the match where chiefs are desperately searching for this
site win as you said it's their third attempt three straight losses on this
site and the path forward to victory looks challenging they then need to be
looking to push OT on a site that we haven't seen yet from them so not quite
must win for cheese but it very much has that kind of feeling what the EP
having the tank to counter and attack into this third lineup
rely on jk with the gas babes but also not overly reliant on full denial Neptune
which shield placement as well the way he's kind of playing this doesn't make
it easy to click he's not playing top blue stairs he's got help from relays to
over the world server with the true wire connectors to just kind of denies a
little bit of that fast drop down the hatch this is cheeky from cheats it's a
big investment nice yeah the Thatcher though good counterplay from Brenda
clear and disrupt. I'll do this U-Tilt.
Wuhan gets the kill, Neptune couldn't quite beat out because of the Monty pushing down, but Relay's doesn't get the trade. That Double Stack pays dividends.
That does need to be cautious though, because he's now getting a little bit more stuck towards the back end of this corner, deep inside a server.
But if you can play the Long Angle, maybe a swing, someone from the site could help out.
And I'm getting the sense of feeling he's about to be overwhelmed.
Is there a chance that maybe the Launchbox will get a long angle, but it's Relay's headshot onto Cairo,
who's been impervious on the shield plate tonight.
Brando took a tiny bit of damage there on that swing as well from Relays.
And suddenly now Chiefs has got the advantage. Relays can just play for his life from here.
Even if he dies, it then only becomes a 3v3.
Of which he dies, Brando sneaks in, gets a good angle.
What a game from Brando. What a round this is turning out to be. 27 seconds 3v3.
AP will probably need to be pretty dynamic here. There's a lot of denial available for the default.
Two gas babes for J. Kenner, E.P. will be relying on the drop kit.
I need the rotations, they need to adapt quickly. Jigsaw ready for the drop.
Oh, but he's caught by Lunchbox sitting over the ward's loading docks.
Bap and Brenner have to send it through, but there's still another gas babes.
Trying to just find an angle inside of side. Bap is gonna go down.
Chiefs will take a six to five match point lead.
and they kept it simple. They
kept it compact. Double stack
over to what server they ended
up being a determining
selection in the round and the
execution from relays who's had
a handful of massive
players in the game.
selection in the round and the execution from Relays who's had a handful of
massively influential moments and ground-defining moments in this match so far
delivers again. Statline may not look particularly impressive but his impact
has been big in this matchup. There was the trade, that shot there onto Cairo was
huge despite falling not long in the round. Jigsaw not given an opportunity to
drop and there was no route forward for the default plant.
E.P. their opportunity for max points now taken away.
Open area for round 12.
The final of regulation.
The first appearance on this site, which is remarkable to say.
And it means as well for Enterprise,
they haven't really seen what Chief Smite had cooked up
on this site.
Whereas Locusts and CCTV top floor,
They got to see that a couple of times get a bit of an idea get to play around that now
They've got to see this and only this once and
Relays went for a spawnpied that could have been absolutely devastating for enterprise
This is looking like a pretty standard 3-2 split 3 above 2 below
On blocks will play jam and they're at the moment on the smoke
How much pressure can enterprise applied falls that drop down and get this top floor control?
of which they want. They brought Bappet onto the ramp.
All the pressure now is firmly with Enterprise.
Don't forget, they've got the slightly harder run home.
They play barbie plays and then other play.
They lose both those games and this.
They won't make finals.
Kara slips into long desk.
Two players over the wall to main stairs, but they avoid him
I'm going to lead him into the dream of a search that didn't really gain a whole lot, only helping aid that push into top floor.
I've wished they've now acquired.
I need to be patient from both teams so far, not a ton of risk taken.
Out of that sentence, Jay Kenner chipped down now half HP, done lunchbox as well, 75.
So, positive start for EP, some map control now up above, back in you can get to work.
Boogie Auto breaches.
They start posturing, start formulating their plan for the final hit.
Chase continue to linger, seeing if they can patch somebody off guard.
A reposition as well, over towards Blue Stairs from player, and he could begin for venture for the late round flank.
on to posture from EP in the hands of Cairo Tellers.
Ten Chiefs sustain this pressure.
60 seconds on the clock and EP with an arm reach should be objective.
But it's playing against the opening kill.
The revenge match, the grudge match, that happened.
He hasn't quite had his usual influence in this match, but he could still have something
to say.
40 seconds.
Start running low.
As Jet Cannon with a shotgun gets to it, a jigsaw.
And Brendo falls.
It's starting to fall apart for Enterprise.
Jigsaw on the verge.
They're so close.
They can taste it.
Cairo dashing.
Desperately pulled out the pistol.
Not dead just yet.
Not down and out.
But almost.
It feels almost as if this one's done.
Chiefs, look as if they're gonna get all three points
against Enterprise.
Only Bappin left, he's got one on each side, hits one.
But no push out from player,
sits prone deep over towards Blue Stairs.
Bappin doesn't have the time to clear,
he doesn't have the time to plant.
It's Chiefs' time to take over this region once again.
So much still to play here at the stage one,
But the statement has been made as EP crumble again for the second straight week.
It's Chiefs that capitalise.
They go to 13 points and then leave Enterprise stranded on 9.
Still looking to try and secure a final spot for themselves with only two playdays to go.
Yeah, huge result there for Chiefs.
And it started to look dire in the second half, facing the wave of momentum, EP looked
strong in those first three attacks, but then they were able to find some form of their
own, did just enough to get this result across the line, and critically, critically in regulation
they take away any opportunity for EP to jump up the standings, and as we're saying, and
as you've said yourself, it does now just compromise their run towards the top four,
Nothing is a guarantee for this point onwards for EP.
So second place is still the position for Cheese after this win,
not making up the round differential against man Esports, Alepho.
They actually played them tomorrow.
We get the 1v2 battles tomorrow night, but for Enterprise,
they, well, they actually now dropped down to fourth place from third place.
And as I said before, guys, they played Barbie boys who actually now go up into
third place. And then on the last day, they play man Alepho by no means.
that's what we're talking about.
Those easy games. They have to
lock back in mentally do so
pretty quickly, or they could
be the shock of the year.
Probably of all time in this
region. If they don't make
finals, they got some big games
coming up. They need to regroup,
recover very quickly. The chiefs,
though, job done big statement
made, but they've got another
statement they need to make
tomorrow. They really want to
claim that top spot. Yeah, that's
right. It's not quite top spot
the final of the game. I don't
expect the team to be hugely
influential. Um I think the
biggest takeaway from them,
though, is that they get that
result right as we saw pre
match. Nate was thinking about
this match up as far back as
the very first play day and
expecting them to go on and get
a result. And that's exactly
what they've been able to
deliver. Well, let's go and chat
with Nate fresh off of the win
for chiefs against enterprise.
First thing I've got to say,
I've got to say now is congratulations on the victory.
You guys obviously bounced back from what was a shock defeat
to Chicago last week.
But as you brush past EP, I'm going to be a little bit troll.
All eyes now focused on the 1v2 tomorrow
against the other best team in the region in MenLFO.
Oh, for sure.
I mean, like, yeah, that MenLFO game tomorrow
will be really good, I think.
We treat them exactly the same as we treat EP
because we know how much effort and how much hard work
they put behind the scenes.
So that means when we go into that game,
expected to be just as difficult, if not more difficult.
So yeah, I think that would be a good answer.
Yeah, congrats on the win, mate.
There were certainly some tricky moments
over the course of that map.
And during your tactical timeout, actually,
we were looking at the player cam on your end.
And it looked a little animated.
What was the messaging over the course of that break?
And how did you look to try and recover during this map?
Honestly, I had a bit of flashbacks to last week,
because I'll be honest, something that we've worked on,
and I'm not taking any credit away from Chocademy,
because I think that's brilliantly against us.
EP on Chalet, but our differences this stage is definitely our defense halves. We definitely put
ourselves in a little bit of a shell. And as soon as we lost those first two rounds, like I think
the CEO round, we got first pick on below, which we knew we were going back before the stage started
the NCP. I think even like the old rosters in Chiefs EP, you guys would know like every B.O.3 was
a bank Chalet third decider. It was always something like that, you know, it means that we knew we
were going to get a bank or maybe one other map. But we did our work and we did our theory and like
we got that first pick and we had really good early rounds.
But we just weren't able to get it over the line.
I think we're playing a bit scared.
We'll play in, I guess, a bit like Timid.
And as soon as I called the tag, I wasn't yelling.
I wasn't really animated.
It was more, I was just trying to get them to breathe and reset
and realize like they've given us so much pace in his early rounds.
We're not really doing anything.
Like they were just like sitting there chilling.
I'm like, hey boys, we can just keep getting in their face
and we can keep pushing the envelope a little bit more.
And then, you know, we can take our time and take the gaps later.
So, yeah, it definitely was more of a inspirational.
You guys can actually go and do this.
There's no need to be scared of these guys.
We've lost them so much now.
But the fourth map we've lost now in two stages.
We know what to expect.
The lead up on the broadcast with this matchday was somewhat not entirely
centipet mentioned regarding player Bapin the previous time that they spent
together on enterprise and Bapin making that tweet about getting rid of the
where I start braiding, etc. All the other side player, of course, absolutely popped off
tonight. He was so influential. So many big impact kills. Sometimes you can get a lot of
kills that don't always matter. But I just felt like when he was getting kills, they
either changed the course of the round or they started off the round. Did he have any
extra motivation himself that you were aware of coming into this match?
Oh, I mean, like, I guess for sure, because obviously, like the amount of success they
had, right? I don't think a lot of people saw such a big ship. Like they went to every
single event is that roster. So I think for him, even kickoff, it's obviously a bit of
motivation to prove that he doesn't need the other players, he doesn't need Bapper and
Tuhan, whatever it is to be successful. I think for him, he doesn't really look at it as an
individual one-on-one. He's very screwed on and every single time it's not, oh hey guys,
I'm gonna get my revenge, I'm gonna do that, it's always, hey guys, we are gonna get his
victory, we're looking to push forward. So I guess there was a bit of motivation, but
He puts it in the right places for sure
Now we'll give you the floor here anything you'd like to say
Obviously, thank you Chase. Thank you boys. So that good stuff and I guess we'll see you tomorrow
My flu yeah, we can chat to you tomorrow best of luck. Congrats again on the win. I've been up this
I win indeed for Chiefs 7 5 over
Enterprise for what was the match of the day build and much of the day once it concluded play out the MVP of this game
133 EPS 14 seven the revenge well was well sought and he got his revenge in the end. Hey absolutely did
His impact and influence on the match was significant and again
I just want to give another quick shout out to relays as well numbers might not suggest it but another
For the player of that EP roster also had some really big moments thinking about the basement server hold that jigsaw battle blue stairs
He said you just be dominating that part of the map
so look a lot rounded team effort from them and
and I'm very very interested to
See in future how we compared the chiefs now in best of one format compared to best of three
Whether they'll grow and improve or whether or not they'll regress we'll have to win and see but yeah again finals shaping up
We're very very interesting and EP are they even gonna make finals? They should but it's not a guarantee
No, I mean that's the right way to kind of frame it right they should
By there's two still two big games to go
I mean if they win tomorrow against Bobby boys
I think that will probably be enough to probably see them into that top four. So huge game for them. And in some ways also huge game for
Chiefs tomorrow. So more big games still to come for the week of Oceania MVP for the day, though
I think player almost was looking to pivot but no, we had to give it to Walsh
He was outstanding in his earlier match for Barbie boys just highly influential probably
He's best game of his career short career, but he's best. Yeah, absolutely
He was dominant on a couple of roles and that 78% cost reflective that he had big influence over the course of the match and the replay package from him will show a couple of those key moments.
It wasn't really limited to one half or the other. He just always seemed to be in the action and making plays that on the surface didn't look super high percentage.
not because they were poorly thought out, but because they were in rough spots, even
how the rest of the round had sort of transpired and he, I don't know, dug deep, found the
inspiration to go for some of those plays and the execution from him, I think, was just
absolutely phenomenal. So yeah, credit to him, player just fully short of the mark, but whilst
doing phenomenally early in the night as well.
They're probably going to need him to be at that sort of level tomorrow, aren't they,
for Bobby Boyz against Enterprise when you consider for Enterprise going into tomorrow
close to almost must win as they play man on the phone. The final play, though, I think
that for them, it's going to be a big, big battle and a good test as well for by boys
to against an EP team that's going to be looking to bounce back. So, uh, yeah, a big opportunity
for Walsh and co. Congrats to him. I think player was outstanding too. I mean, when you
take in consideration a seven, five match EP chiefs player for me, what he was able to
to do in a big game like that, I probably tipped my hat, but we had actually penciled
in walls. I said before the game, I said, unless someone does something absolutely crazy,
it has to go to wash player. Maybe just didn't quite do enough to to pip him. But yeah, big
for Walsh and always good to see as well in this region to see those new up and commerce
continue to perform and grow into the region become stars themselves.
Yeah, absolutely. And that finals battle really continues to heat up in the mid table. Of
course it is the four spots for finals, two spots ultimately at EWC and it has
shaken up in a way that I didn't really foresee. The order of these teams is far
from what I expected. We don't have Chiefs or EP first, second, currently man
Alaphoud, lead the pack, rival, have a real shock to potentially still make top
four and there's other permutations elsewhere. So the last two play days of
Oce are gonna heat up and be some of the biggest in terms of group stage that I
I think we've had for a couple of years.
And of course, with Chiefs, we're now
three playing each other tomorrow.
Whoever wins that in regulation is just
the number one C going into finals.
So that's a huge game.
But it was obviously playing tomorrow against Enterprise.
So we have 1B2 and 3B4 tomorrow,
which is going to completely shake off the top four,
then going into the last playday next week.
And then clearly on the flip side of things,
when you look at that bottom four,
the RK, they're out to six targets.
They're practically out as well.
in terms of the games that we have tomorrow for these teams in particular.
So six targets will play rivals.
So that's a must win for rival.
They want to stay in contention.
And for shy Academy, they play RK.
You'd imagine they should go and win that game as well.
That would put them to eight points.
Rival would go to nine points and very quickly because you can see how close
it's going to get for that three, four position from here.
Chiefs and men LFOs should be pretty safe.
Yeah, you would imagine so, but I don't think we can say anything with too much
There have been a significant amount of upsets so far,
EP and Chiefs on the receiving end of those heading into this playday.
And I think for many, no disrespect at all to Chiefs.
I don't think it would have been unfair if you favour them going into this matchup.
But they for most, probably the underdog in this game as well.
So who knows what the next couple of playdays could produce.
There is a world in which EP don't make it and we see a big upset in terms of the standings.
Now, as Jack likes to say on Twitter, they wake up, it's EML Day.
of course email will be beginning very soon well four hours time so uh i don't know what time he wakes
up i swear he must get up like six in the morning or something to be really quick he doesn't say
he's a very early grader so he did it like four hours ago and the broadcast doesn't start for
another four hours but yes email later on today as well and then of course tomorrow we are going to
be back with us which is going to be a huge playday six as we just saw and just laid out all the
permutations. It's a huge night coming up. E.P. losing the
Chiefs. Can they bounce back tomorrow? Huge games all around.
We hope to see you then.
I
