I can't say anything about myself
The value of my identity is
I can't say anything about myself
Tick tock, tick tock
I can't hear anything
This is amazing
Tick tock, tick tock
I can't hear anything
I'm so calm
I'm telling you something that's not right
I'm not going to go to the beach
Come here, come here, come here
Don't get caught, come here
You're my safety
I'm gonna check it in the morning
I swear I'm not fangirling or anything
Trying to keep my mood to the rage
But I'm not done with this moment
I'm gonna say hi way tonight
Take it to heart, you bye bye
I never hit a beat when I work
Cause I don't want all, all of it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, I'm sick of your shaking
You and me, we're the major now
You know you'll never be here
But I don't care anymore
Cause it feels so right
You gotta use your time and time
You gotta do your duty, homeboy
I don't care if you put it on me or not, in the back
Tent, tent, tent, I can't hear you
This feels so nice, so
Tent, tent, tent, I can't hear you
I'm slowly going
I don't know what's going on
You call me, you call me, you call me, you call me

Cause I know that I'm in the air
I
She's so sick.
Hi everyone!
This is the APL Malik Test!
I can't believe it.
If I win, I'll...
...be in Osaka.
I'm going to destroy the battlefield.
This is bad.
I can't climb higher.
I can't climb higher.
I can't climb higher.
I can't climb higher.
the Japan and Korean teams and one unlikely outsider that is looking to take a spot at
the Osaka Major of course with the first major event in the last seven years in Rainbow Six
History in Japan upcoming in just a couple of months with the Osaka Major. These teams
have more pressure than anybody else to deliver.
These teams, these teams are a little bit different. We right teams is of course
spot to watch out because we have Japanese teams and we're expecting at least one to make it, right?
One in particular, it's gotta be CIG. For sure. Yeah, I mean, CIG have all eyes on them after
their pretty deep run at the Esports World Cup, top 9 to 12. Of course, they faced all kinds of
big teams there, including Shopify Rebellion, took an upset win over that team. Shopify Rebellion
are obviously playing in the NAL, which has been so much fun recently, seeing particularly the
story of Outlast iconic after being an expert on the panel at eSports World Cup. He's back on
Outlast, he's back in the NAL and he's done it again. This clutch is even more impressive to me
than the previous one we saw just the other day. Back to back. Once he's right, he's going to go
by the hands to make the fake drop sound to force a swing here. Pullman. He's still listening
to the three people looking down the midi counter. He's looking to take him there.
Oh, I'm back. What did I just do there? A back to back clutch for
right-turning in 21 and played A2, here as a result of the standings.
Now he played really well in that clip, you might notice an outglass, it in fact not end up in a W,
so it's all for nothing.
Right, just farmed the A or the Q.
Good farmed the A, I think that's how the farm works.
Or I'm speaking to Shubhire Belly, you mentioned and we talked about you know CHE,
they beat them at the Esports World Cup, but Belly and they're now looking really good here
in the NAL second place at the moment.
Finally enough cloud nine sitting at the top of saying it's very early. They're losing one round per matchup
They're 14 and two currently. Yeah, that is that is a real way though
Funny to see but another scene not favored is one of the top teams if anything. I'm surprised to see m80 still
Right down near the bottom. Of course
We do have in our region here in a pack north eight teams gunning for spots at that
Asaka Major and sadly there is only one spot up for grabs penguin in APL
We have three different regions four spots Asia has proven to be the strongest reason
Regions has a place in a block two spots, which is a bit sad for all these Japanese teams
We've got scars we got CAG by VARO. We've got kina trope and double RX. Oh, plus. Can you be my enemy?
Let's not forget them all Japanese rosters hoping for a chance to compete in their home country at the Asaka Major
And it's only going to be one of them if at all because it could be deep boss being KFURAX or trippy man telecom steal the show
Now I was gonna say it's not even just about the teams that are from Japan of course
I was like biased was those things making it but generally speaking if you're a player in the pack more you're such a low-changer
qualifying because there is so much good competition and only that one spot here's today's schedule for
We're gonna be going through cameo Amy's like other guys the import of the plus key
And I'm an exciting one because there has been some roster changes on the side of E plus that we saw in the first playday
We go through being confused versus jumping telecom that it's going to be the two green teams battling it out
And then we go to CD Barbarale up against one of the lowest CD teams in top of our X
But then we're finishing up today with a banger
Okay, the stars versus KineTrope
I think currently this stage and last stage my favorite matchup because it feels like scars have been that the
Orc and the team for a long time kind of gatekeeping KineTrope
But then back into season one, it was Q-Trip actually ending up ahead of Scars.
Yeah, it's been a big moment for both teams. Just gunning for that spot at Yusaka Major.
Both of them on the outside, looking in both of them top four finishes all year long.
And very much a fierce rivalry between the two of them.
As for our first game today, CYBME underdogs against D-Plus KIA, one of the top teams in APAC North.
They have been consistently so.
They were second place in stage one. They were second place in kickoff
They've had two swings at CAG this year in those grand final matches to try and make it to an international event
Unfortunately, they failed both times now coming into stage two penguin
They actually made two pretty significant across the changes of course this team has always been
Created forage from extremely prominent talent from Brazil, but but they've actually lost a few of them
You know, it's goodbye to Muzi, goodbye to Nia's two of their best players, arguably from stage one.
And instead, we've got Yuri and Ayan bringing in to the roster.
Ayan in particular has quite a bit of history, both of them played for ENX, most recently before joining the team.
But for me, I just can't help it, but I think Muzi and Nia's were such good teammates on this roster,
losing them how on Earth can we call this numbering?
Yeah so well we had the pleasure of speaking to Falls when you posted one of their first
play day and we asked him the question, Jake and I, like what happened?
And he said well the reason for these roster changes isn't because we want better players
than the server, it's because of differences in how we view the game.
It's more falsely, right?
Probably you know, the three man core of this team, they had one vision and then
someone like Niers and Moosey had a different vision and they just kept an eye in the
middle of finding the compromise so they got in to the new players.
I know you're asking, how can this possibly be an upgrade, but I unhed a hell of a first
player.
This guy was popping off, you're opening night haven labs, you're showing cattle rafters,
every round of the summing, getting three kills every single round and just doing a hell
of a jump in digital.
So honestly, it can be hard to argue for why this would be an upgrade, but so far,
so good.
Yeah, of course, DPOT keeps making those roster changes, Muzi only joined after
the Six of Rotational in Paris, so whatever these guys can do to try and get that
spot at the upcoming Major and obviously set their sights on a hometown invitation next year.
They're going up against a team that truly are underdogs. CYBME were even underdogs in the
Challenger series at the start of this year when they played in Tier 2. They played against Fight
for a spot in the APL and surprisingly beat them. But were definitely a team that was much more
looked at much more famous, familiar, they played in tier 1 before, but B&E got the better of them
and thus earned their spot here in the APL. However, since getting here it's been a bit of a struggle.
They came last in kickoff, they came last in stage 1 without a single win on the ball, without even
overtime, no points in the group stage at all. And now they're unfortunately after a very
convincing loss to Skars are really going to fight themselves in deeper waters now against
That's the plus.
7th pot right there, what a 1-7 loss here in the very first playday.
Obviously they did, they also got to be on clock house, not a big plus.
Then, next play, they played in 3, they're going to play against double RX tomorrow.
So that's going to be a much easier, more even match with you will.
That is where they need to get a victory.
But it is a bit hard to find a bit of hope here for KB main enemy.
They haven't shown us really that they're going to be up here just yet with the likes of Pinochro,
with Scars, with Deplos, with CT obviously.
So the real competition, like I said, double RX
and maybe should remain telecom.
Like that's the two games we're really gonna lock in
and say, okay, this is where we can get some parts
on the board and get a couple of wins for ourselves.
There's no better practice than against the best teams
in the region and be, I mean,
in the old practice they can get off
to making three roster changes.
Turkey, Nova and Yanaghi are all new players
to this roster.
Let's see where we'll be playing today.
Deplos got to play Labs last time
in their previous map.
They decide to ban it this time around in the end.
CYB and E get the final toss up between Lair and Clubhouse.
They go with the latter.
We're going to club with D-plus starting on the attack.
And I think that this is going to be a great opportunity
for D-plus to show us their team chemistry
on that attacking side on such a fundamental map
like Clubhouse.
That's a very good point.
Back to back, Clubhouse, where can you be my enemy?
So they're going to be able to learn the hook and scars.
Five here against D-plus.
Get a slightly better result.
and then of course you can learn from every single matchup.
Aside from this one, and I was there for you James to see if perhaps this would be an upgrade
for people's skill with the roster changes or if you're not going to be a fan.
I really want to see that.
For D+, of course the big story for them ever since bringing all these Brazilians into
APAC for this roster was can they make it to international events and sadly that's
been something that has been alluding them for the most part, they have had some
appearances.
forget the Six Invitational earlier this year, Deepboss actually had a very respectable showing. At
that event, they unfortunately didn't qualify for the Salt Lake City Major, but there was a lot of
hype behind them. After getting top 12 at Six Invitational, they had a Winner of a Shopify
Rebellion, they took a map off of FaZe, they keep Black Dragons. These are results that would
suggest that Deepboss is going to be a contender, but sadly so far this year they have
struggled to do so against Kag by Varel now. It's just a chance to get more reps in with
their new roster today against BME.
expecting more like default operative bands right when they're going to be attacking you expect like
you're banding your crate to get through the walls and top house and you're going to be on defense
you're going to fend away either things that makes it any better at your guns so for example gunfights
so like your solid snake or amos all you're going to take all your forces monkey for example
to make that hard to execute um in particular i'm expecting to be beat plus will close target
I'm curious if we'll see North as well because the high A1 of APAC North is not available.
Now he is.
Saw a little bit of an amazer yesterday, not too enormous of an effect though.
Every team played at least once, it was banned away as well, it was also a pretty high person's rate.
Yeah, I mean reasonably high, definitely much more than an NA, but it's not like the bogeyman of shields,
like everyone was outing it to be
re-release
and everyone of course got really excited
after the announcement came out, maybe a little bit fearful
because of the way that Norr originally interacted with Heart Breach
it was essentially just an abandoned, a bad bandage I think
but he got nerfed before the release and
Now is not really viable for that, I mean like Collis did actually
somehow manage to get a little bit of a thermite trick off
yesterday but yeah I mean I don't expect we'll see a lot of more maybe a little bit
but just not quite here the shield counter
and that trick is you can always be with attack or repick if you see that the
nor is available you could just go off the shields
and even if you do stick the shield it's always about having nor in the right location
you can make the same comparisons and operate on defense like flash
Right, a lot of attacking setups. They will just say, okay, Clash is playing in this area of the map.
It's attack the other area of the map. And then Clash will start sprinting back towards the bomb site
to the other area of the map and try and get there in time. Nor looks in a similar fashion.
It's also not pretty much like Shunke, where you gotta get your gadget out to utilize it.
You can't just like, I don't know, throw it like a warmire, like a toxic babe.
You gotta weapon swap ADS, shoot the gadget, weapon swap back, and then take the gun flight.
So nor will work quite effectively, but only in certain areas when you have coverage when you have teamwork
It's not like a one-man does it all kind of operator therefore a bit harder to utilize at the highest level
Well, why don't we get that player back into the lobby thank you so we can start this game
Why don't we play a little bit of a game of our own are you down for that?
Which game shall we play? Well, we're gonna play a game with you guys in Twitch chat as well
We're gonna play guess who said it and in this game
What you have to do is guess who said that?
It's pretty self-explanatory.
So this is a Tweet from 2023.
Get this effing guy off my screen, Gromp.
Just trying to shoot some targets.
This can be any region, any person, player, cast, or contributor.
That's right.
That's right.
I am pretty confident I know who this is.
And it's not because I remember the Tweet.
It's because I recognize the gun skin
and attachment skin component.
Okay, okay.
Will you give me a region just to help me?
I think it's European. If it's who I think it is, it's us.
Oh.
Oh, OK.
I was going to say like demo, but I don't know about the skin,
but demo with Twitter, but it's kind of funny, right?
Democoder, yeah.
It's very, I'm sure I'd like a demo because I know it.
Well, maybe you're right.
I think it's Niko.
I'm pretty confident that the Valentine's Day.
Oh, this could be a Niko classic.
Yeah, this is a very Niko, Niko tree.
There we go.
Oh my god
I just yeah, I don't think I'm gonna
All right, I'm thinking I'd like to start streaming soon because if I don't it feels like the viewers are gonna chew me out
This this is church that
Hey, I feel like I've seen this tweet. I've seen this tweet
But I don't see one in 62 likes definitely someone with more followers than me
I
Just like to do me some things with those is like a huge guy shoot would say chew me out. Is that like a uk Aussie thing?
Yeah, we say that in a straight Americans wouldn't say it. No, you don't think so
Okay, I feel like the sun breeze doesn't have a date on it. I'm gonna go a turds down personally
Okay, yeah, let's go turds down. I'm not convinced, but let's see no you guys guess so what else it's an it's in there
you go that makes that makes a curveball because it's translated from Japanese and I did see that
two before actually from 2024 Si manic Monday has reached his prime I mean yeah that is that is
manic at um he's not at a 6th imitation pardon never he has like a full set of hair I'm also
I've never met this guy because I've only met bald Rob like in prison he was at the six
I didn't meet him I was doing other things. Oh really?
Oh no I probably did but I don't remember it. I don't know it's just
he's just crying. Okay we have a clue it's Oda. I'm going to say is it Oda or someone?
Yeah I was going to say Oda as well. Let's go Oda.
It's an early bapin as well.
That's a very young bapin.
Try it on EP.
Is it an EP player or a former at some point at least?
Is it what sorry?
Is it like a current or former EP player that you're thinking of?
No.
It is O's though.
It is O's.
I'm thinking O's as well.
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind for me was Tui.
It goes he has like the 4442 which isn't ready to Shaco but like injured numbers but still okay
I'm gonna do it to me. You're gonna lock in to huh? All right. Let's get let's get the drum roll. Let's get the drum roll
Let's see who it is
Simla oh my god, it's you but
What's the context for this tweet by the way it was when it's when they announced Shaco was getting dropped from Falcon
Oh this is great.
Oh this is fantastic.
I like this meme.
Oh this is banged.
This is the numbers.
204 April.
That would have been regular season.
That would have been regular season.
I think that would have been right after
SI.
Yeah right after SI.
But this is after like a good month and a half so like this is this might be the end of the stage for playoffs
Like the playoffs spot they're fighting for maybe and somebody choked it out. I have three guesses
I don't know. So let me tell you what I'm thinking and you can help me out. Yeah
It could be Parker could be in terror or it could be
Like Alamow or some like JV or someone like that. What do you think I?
I don't hate the entero meme, but would he tweet this?
So I don't think it's liquid choking, I just think it's the new A-musketeer liquid choking.
Oh my god, what if it's like, if it was a Brazilian tweet and this like hurts, it would
get way more traction, no?
It would actually pop off like, and sing.
It is very, it's very good.
I actually don't know.
I mean, I actually don't know.
We go with entero.
I don't think he would tweet this.
I reckon let's split.
One of us go entero, one of us go alimony.
I think alimony is the other one to go full off.
Oh, alimony.
You go, I'll am out, I'll go and taro.
Alright, let's go, let's see, who is it?
Oh, what? It's me!
I mean, it's me! Why did I tweet this?
Why did I tweet this?
Wait, you don't remember? I thought you were just acting like crazy.
No!
You don't remember this?
Wait, I'm going back in the... Wait, I'm going back a month with a ride, I'm looking for it.
Right, I found impressions on this one.
It's like the first thing you said, you're like, dude, this one did numbers.
Whoever tweeted this did so well. Who is you?
But why did I tweet it? What's the context?
I don't know, man.
Do you know the context?
No, I don't remember.
What? What a half years ago, man.
I can't even find it with 20.05.
With 20.04, you said no.
Yeah.
I can't even find it when I'm looking at my own tweets, man.
No, this is insane.
You have to scroll back so far.
The production team scrolled back and found it.
That's a production.
No, they searched.
I'm still looking.
No, I can't find it on my own tweet.
I hope you guys had fun with that. I hope we get to play more of that. I was actually really fun
I think I even watched that movie, The Candy Clutch.
I need to be more online.
Not as much of a gremlin as you used to be it seems. Thank you.
Just like yesterday we were casting, I was like oh yeah LMG made it was two years ago.
They were like five.
And then this morning we're talking about like the
to my team from the Asian to the hard-wishing patch, and I said it was two years ago, and
you were like, no, it was a pit rary. I've lost all sorts of time.
Oh, nice dodge there from Mitty. I respect the balls from Toki to go for that C4. As
we are finally into the game, thanks for bearing with us, guys. I hope you joined
us for that game earlier. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, we get to see finally VME,
My first chance seems to be rostered with Yanaginova and Toki, and of course tanking for D plus Ion and Yuri.
They're really on the shield. Usually falls that was running shields in the past. Sometimes it would be near, I guess.
A European clash is one of their very first play day and also some zero-racking.
So a bit of a support player. Ion's low, he's a goner, looking for a fight because of the scanner.
sees the player crossing a right across the window, doesn't find any damage or a kill.
Okay, you're laying here, what do you want me to do?
Look in the rolling game, things like a gym, things like a master bedroom, and not give
up any control for free.
My individual cannot be seen by this honestly scanner, so he actually might go from a table
and load it through.
Oh, they know there's a vigil now.
Ion tries to take that fight, you know, he's still holding inside gym.
Again, looking to try and speak.
Ion is just waiting, Inagi does fall or he's dead.
Might not be able to get back to site safely though.
Out he can go through the main hallway back down the main stairs.
If I, I mean, Inagi here, I feel like you just play kind of passive.
Buy as much time as you can.
Oh, how low!
There's the Monty, but unfortunately to hear me has the impact out as the Monty's
looking the other way so he only gets damage and no kill and Yuri's able to knock
him down and finish him off with Inagi falling as well as having fallen as well
Put some pressure on toky. They'll ask you out. He does so
No trade as of yet
Almost come through through the verb. Oh, thank you so angry here the BME
That's where with his life confidence
Such a shame there though for you not yet
You know the impact on it out the months because of free be right a knife or if you hit a hit fly head
So most likely instead he goes down
25 seconds though give us four some to a pressure point right now
You can get their ass spamming out drop down triangle for a second
And the ying is just gonna stay above the hatch unlike that move levy cutting from the bottom of the main stairs
Ion's fall with Yuri still has the forces planned down
But levy will cover and no they cannot deny it great start for D plus
So it's a little bit close there two players up at the end of the round, but D plus take it
Little bit long time a little bit scrappy on the room clear
I definitely think that the visual caught them off guard a bit there by using the soliciting scanner and thinking oh my god
it's clear he almost jumped in the gym window and immediately would have died and Yuri much more
supportive player but it was very late with the month you want to argue by the time that Ayano
Solisne was fighting an IQ individual by the gym window he was barely in the building of
Monty in construction so a little bit behind the curve maybe but it makes up for right here the
bonk the ads the kill that right there buys you back a ton of time you lost early in the
round but that made it win the ball because when they started planting James what was the left
like 15 12 seconds he asked him for like that it was not a lot of time left
what it could have been if individual had not had that impact
wow this is something
this is a good one
but I want to see that laser, does that?
alright so is this the A-Star laser?
oh no it's not, not at all
that was different, I actually haven't seen the specific laser
laser so if you put three of them close together inside the floor it must be very hard to shoot that
but the three lasers will make it so you can't peek without taking a lot of damage and being slowed
and then that second one up the top should also link up with one that was I think in the replacing
gym so yeah yeah I always love seeing some new stuff with the nari as I always say it's a bit of a
not yet fully discovered kind of operator so much as you can do with it
more tricks and bits and bobs I'm just waiting for the day where people will put
all the lasers down but not break the walls yet they'll do the middle of the round so
the lasers will just connect at the moment notice because when you do it from the
prep phase the benefit is that they're there from the beginning the downside
is that the enemy sees it too when they start drone in the building.
If you're to prep all the lasers but not destroy the wall to connect the dots
You can be like, ha, surprise, you just fight away.
And you have less time to react essentially.
Maybe you will spit your nades elsewhere, for example.
I guess the problem is you have to make sure it's perfectly lined up,
and you break the perfect hit of the wall,
otherwise you will have wasted your time,
but you break the wall if the laser doesn't light up.
Yeah.
You've been bombarded.
You can see all the lasers.
Guys, we cannot go in the windows.
You've got to get a nade, so you must have hit your door.
There's going to be an eye on.
That's where the ocean is going over.
trying to get the most of the value here gets one clue canister popped from the con wall
meanwhile they got forced into a secret room
ocean away here by as well
this is last two browse sort of canisters so in about five seconds time
here goes while we opened up
because of flying pressure from the windows from the breach and from office hatch
I'm sure
what they can't freebie
here we barriers we'll try and lock it up though
okay here for BMAs they're trying to stay alive but it's becoming more and more difficult
By the moment, he's gonna have to be pulled down below, and a high on jump straight in through the laser, finds the kill on a Sikingo.
Pressure on the Tokyo refrag, he does.
Look for a second, but we have seen shots, Yuri will trade, and that's it in the round.
D plus, looking solid. Two attacks in a row.
I was gonna say about Yonty, this guy was just fly in there and take names.
He did the exact same thing in the first player day, that was to have Night Haven labs, like this guy wants a gun to fly,
But he's very disciplined until he gets that like unleashed moment. He goes false. Can I please pigos?
Yes, my son you can peak now she flies in the window it gets a couple of kills
Also, you regret follow-up immediately down to the plant with the ying and the moment Ion then died
He gets offered and goes for the gunfight himself to then further solidify the round position
So despite the roster changes very good synergy over to hear from the new boys in the block from D plus
love that
I love the timing and the willingness to just go for it, to send it.
Really nice to see you from D-plus.
I'm interested in what happens in the second attempt on the basement though, BME.
Went for that roam last time with the vigil, and it was so close to being successful.
This time I expected it to be a roam again from Yanaghi on the Scopus this time around.
And when D-plus eventually do get to the bomb site, there will be a clash waiting,
and the Kingo is hiding on that bomb site so that they won't know there's a clash and
funnily enough the Zofa will be picked off of so one less counter to the clash available
here for DK. I expect that Nomad will probably have used all her edge as before coming up
against that clash.
So we're playing it out. Again, can you be my enemies? A bit of about can you throw
a curveball in there and catch people's butt surprise and this is how you kind
achieved that the hide operators should play off meta picks like the vigil for example in
the very first round that was quite influential. This is a basic bomb set though and it does
mean that things are a little bit more predictable. Kappa's basic roam is very limited to either
a scopus which they have now from Yanaki on top floor, either chase the scopus shell
and destroy it or just leave them be and watch the verticality angles in kitchen for example
or you go for a full roam as a defending team with the new jammers, the vigil, the
must see something like that and castle maybe and mark on a couple of areas.
E point they've seen this set up many times before.
You are going for a dirt and kitchen hatch direct attack. This is in my opinion a
ranked classic because it's so hard to roam clear in ranked gameplay.
Mitzi also has the air jab he plays. He gets our tank, get forced out, he gets
off the pistol. That did not go according to plan. But can you be my enemy?
No, not at all. Wow. Value there. Coming up in spades for Midi
On the Nomad, Nova actually retakes this position, but without the Keyboard Barriers, all the clashes can be extremely exposed.
And Midi knows about him. Midi can take him down easily. Three kills in the round for the Nomad.
Another AirJap goes out, prevents a rotate back in from that rotate hole at Dummies,
and now DK have all the control in the round.
Asphalt with trying to close the distance, trying to take the gunfight.
Another airjab leads to a fourth kill for Midi, gunning for the ace, but Asphal will deny it up in his face now.
Yuri really putting him under the palm of Asphal wants to take the final line, a drop shot.
Trying to do a little bit of a Japanese style play with the Monty, but he is no anus, it doesn't matter DK.
Lap up the round anyway.
Beautiful, another player popping off this time Midi, I mean, great usage there off the flashbangs, the airjabs from Nomad.
And I don't know if that was can you be minding me making a mistake or trying to make a player there on the third door
It looked deliberate it looked like the clash is gonna walk in tank the air jab bait the swing
Asami follows right after and is supposed to win the gun fight
And then you get a one one for zero trip is a phenomenon if you're defending team, of course
Instead the class gets air jab the asami dies and then class dies right after and that pretty much solidifies the round for D plus
You're getting two big kills like that will make it a hell of a lot easier for them
And now we're gonna see the upper defense go out to be the bandit and the ying either way, but they have received a replay
not really
Best case scenario
Can you be my enemy but also makes you what can you do this guy took control?
they did
I guess funny that see people running the AK instead of the ARX like ARX was the best gun in the game for a while
Do you feel like it's just a mag count?
I think people better read that effect because they only get 21 bullets to that area.
It's always going to be a fun conversation because you're going to have players that will take, you know, a really high stat gun
but with a very low bullet count, think of the Rony from Mussy, the AI X there for an Anomad, etc.
And you're going to have the opposite players, which is like, I just want to play with it.
So I want an LNG, I want a hold liftoff for a long time, I want to be able to open up a full barricade
and then take a gunfight because that's the really cool thing about Nomad's AK
AK 45 bullets you have such an odd number of bullets they can do so many things with it
You know about two full barricades with a single magazine or open up one full barricade and still take a gunfight
When you have all weapons like your SMG 11 your Rony or you got a shoot half your mag reload
Shoot half the mag and you still have many minutes left after
Yeah, especially if you get into like an elongated gunfight where people are like a lot of pre fires a lot of repakes
So a lot of ducking leaving like if you have the Alex
I should have gone it sucks. It really sucks and then people know that you only have a few bullets
So they'll swing you off that you've spent most of your nag
exactly it
So back in the early days or smoke mains and siege right they actually ended up giving smoke one more magazine
It was like it's in the primary you had like 40 bullets in the secondary reserve
That meant that if you could reload I get a few three times total and you'd be out of bullets essentially
and you try to shoot drones, go for a wallbang like you said, go for pre-firefight.
It was very common to have no more ammunition in this MG-11 back in the day,
and then they gave it one more magazine to 17 more bullets,
and it made a hell of a difference actually for the small things.
Well, BME desperately trying to change different bombsites to see what sticks,
what might work, out of it lost the basement twice and Jim once.
Over to Cache CC. I'm scared for Sikingo here if he keeps peeking this. I think he's gonna lose the fight to Mervi.
Little pre-fire. Doesn't stay, but nice aggro from Toki there. Does get traded back, but he takes down fours in the hard breach.
Thankfully for D plus there is redundancy here. We've got tin can openers on both the Monty and there's a plus. We've got the ace.
As I say that, it could lash out, bit of time regression here from BME.
They have the numbers advantage, but DK has stolen the bomb site.
Yep.
They don't have the case right now to walk into a profound aisle there,
so maybe you're just going to try and get that job done.
Walk in, get the case, maybe locks down the bomb site.
This is still winnable though, 4T plus if they get into that exact hand position.
And there we go, you realize the case.
And with two defenders downstairs, I don't think they recognize that guys
who've completely turned the bomb site would know like solo to C4 below.
We'll see what we know, actually.
This is...
They're way too far away, isn't going to help anything.
They're for Asphalt.
Should be a good post plan, especially with Yuri being able to get that 1v1.
Asphalt and Nova together.
The priority here for BME has to be taking down that Monty as they do so.
Levy, last one into the 1v1 against Asphalt.
Very utile, not just so expanded.
Levy, oh, can't win the fight! Good peek from Asphalt!
and BME clutch up, find the first round of the game.
If we're together, I completely forgot that Omae has a C4 now, so I'm thinking they're
playing two people below, Leesha and Omae, thinking how are they going to go for a plant
denial, but I don't know, Omae did have a C4, just missed the mark, but instead of
a walk up that staircase to take the fight together, a good time swing actually from
the top right rotate and by the radio door, that's why Monty died of Uri.
You can probably argue that Uri's trying to stay extended, stay very passive and
keep walking backwards and towards construction. The issue is if the Muncie player is too passive
they can just hunt down Levy, his other teammate, and then he's going to be in a 1v3.
So Yuri wanted to have some presence. He went for that on extension and said,
hey, look at me, look at me. Unfortunately, he got picked off guard there by double swing.
So honestly, very well put together retake there for, can you be my enemy?
Yeah, I didn't see where exactly this kills in the low ground happened.
That was really what turned the tide.
They seem to be a lot more of an aggressive team than they used to be.
Unfortunately, the old roster, they were just scared of pretty much every single game that
they would play.
And I kind of can't blame them, obviously, they're in the big boy league from tier 2,
and just losing every single match that they play.
Hard to have a lot of confidence after a result like that, but they're looking
like they have an extra reviled now.
I think it's bringing that new power in a Tokyo has been played very aggressively.
Yanaki has as well, not to so much success, but I like the ideas here and the aggro that we're seeing at a BMA.
It's a hard map to do with Doe and Clubhouse. It's very often when I'll be those like stay alive, play the layers, fall back, play the trickery here in Clubhouse.
Fortunately, I grace out occasionally, but it's very limited when it's actually good at DS and depending on the player.
Right now, for example, you're playing Jim Bumsite, extended towards CCTV. You have two options. Either fall back, one of these walls get opened up,
or stay in fight and decide the round to your on the extension.
Being a top red player on the shield.
With all my madness predicting it, you have Sikane going across like a rooster on over and helping them further.
We've got Mute Jammer's limiting the attack of Insul, where he's going to be playing from.
But this wall being popped open by the second leader of the cell, Matt,
it's actually going to be the time to fall back.
Well, Keeber Barrier will plug that hole quickly.
So, Kingo, the first one to fall, a little bit aggro there from the clash.
Levy does double down as well, as Toki finished off.
D-plus are lapping up this map control, pumping that pressure onto these players.
The analogy tries to stay alive for as long as possible, goes for another peek and he's
quickly falling victim to another player mount.
And that was nice.
D plus just looking to try and clear across from cash and everyone from BME sends bodies
their way.
It's a fourth round now for D plus.
Or did I say either the whole round would be desired on the top extension of top red
or you fall on back and live to see the bomb side.
It's a 50-50, but I respect K&P my enemy for bringing the fight to the attack.
I don't know if the Clash of Sekiro got hit by an air jab again, but I heard an air jab
go off and then shortly after Clash actually did manage to die.
If that's the case, that's not two for two rounds where the Clash gets completely countered
by a single air jab and that would be some incredible value from Nomad of D-plus.
Yeah.
There's only one round left in the half.
now for BME on their defensive clubhouse.
You want to be gunning for three rounds here, Pengu,
and the best they can do is to,
they're going back down to the basement for the third time.
The only bomb site that was successful on was Cache CCTV.
Even that came down to a 1v1 clutch.
Now they're down to the basement for the third time,
and this is showing us a second attempt
at that basement hole that they did
in the very first round.
They tried two different holes,
one with the scope off their clutch,
one with the castle and the vigil.
This one was better for them I will say but I don't have a little bit more success from Yanaki on the room still on that
0 and 5
And when you're that room player you have to have a kill or you have to waste like two and a half minutes
And when you're a bitch who is in particular
Your whole purpose of being a bitch who just take you into a good fight
We take a gun fight so if you're a zero five forget it to the right location
Connected with shots as the word that I'll have for Yanaki. He had bad timing last time right the month
He walked into his face
He was he would unnoticed for majority of the round put up the impact at the wrong time and then Monty may miss him
So hopefully now he'll have a bit more
prowess in the server
Like the idea of this room though
Ganges applying a lot of pressure counter response though D plus the up double shield falls and Yuri
The reason why it's so efficient is that they can send their children to different areas, right?
They could theoretically take one children to Cusigreech, where you raise right now, and cause them to see the TV or connect the window or office hatch drop,
and just kind of sandwich them in the middle.
Because that's the benefit of this unit. They don't just get destroyed very easily.
They can just like dumb one down, say, here, look at me, get the yellow information to your teammates that are cutting off the crosses,
and they are doing exactly that.
All of this action, you're just walking and getting to do it yourself.
Yeah, it's just another round where the Rome hasn't been good enough for BME and sadly they haven't set themselves up very well for a second round on defense before we finish off the game.
Toki's chance really just lies on not being spotted.
He'll find one, but not likely to take that fight against the Monty and the Blackbeard together.
It's a worst case scenario, a nightmare fuel for Toki.
Thankfully he got high on, but Asfil lashes out and finds Midi as well.
Unfortunately it's at the cost of his life.
This King goes so far from the bombsite.
This is basement by the way.
Away on that top floor.
In a 1v3, fighting against two shields.
Good luck. I have no fun in this one.
My V is low. It'd be good for a single kill, but I don't know exactly where he is.
Stock instead of motor four.
He's got no U-turn, 5 shield.
There's just no way that you win this.
They're gonna die in melee to the Blackbeard for sure.
Going up against two shields.
They look to split up. He can't look at both of them at once.
and D plus will dominate 5-1 in the first half the double shield indomitable for CYBME
Well, it looks like D-plus is warm up of doing TikTok games as it's paying off.
They are eating right now.
They're gobbling CYBME up for dinner.
5-1.
Good way to kick it off.
This could very easily spiral into a 7-1, a second 7-1 loss in a row for CYBME.
It's very well possible. I'm just saying right now if we for whatever reason get any sort of technical time out
We have to play the clip. We gotta show it
I've been watching four times on repeat now the D plus here on the score our six Twitter account said free to be cringe and
post it like a
15-second clip of the entire roster doing a tick to dance and false slap that front middle is doing it for a
normal job like I can dance like you've been to Brazil a couple of times
Pange did you ever go dancing when you were in Brazil did you ever go to like a
club or somewhere where people were dancing oh god in the yeah I'm the
part of the Swedish majors oh I'm in Brazil but sure I guess no no no no I
was going to the bar to get a drink right in Javelin and I had to walk
through the Brazilians on the way there and then they grabbed me and
like your turn I'm like oh god I want to die like right now I can't do this and I
like awkwardly dance start over there
Brazilians know how to dance especially the Brazilian men know how to dance like I
feel like I'm in Australia you're from Denmark I feel like people especially men
are just so shy they're like dance or like make a fool of themselves and yeah
every every country in South America is like this like the men are just they
I don't know how to get on the dancefloor, it's so good.
I look up to a spy to have that over there.
You know Cherrygums, yeah?
Oh yeah. So Cherrygum, she dragged me on the dancefloor and I was getting in the drink.
It was her doing. And I know I haven't enjoyed her company ever since.
I'm not sure that's related, but ever since I've known, it's like, you know, she gave me dirty that day.
Because she knew I couldn't dance.
That's the thing I wonder, when you're like dancing with Brazilians are they all, are they
dragging you there because they want to laugh at you for how bad you are?
Yeah, you don't know.
And then they just like turn to each other and laugh at something in Portuguese and
they're like, did you just, you know, okay, gringo.
Oh, it's so true.
I know you're very nice to us though, I gotta say, like, there's been the vocational
meme on social media that, you know, the fan bases that are clashing that happens
when you're an esports viewer but the actual resilience that we work with and
see every single of it like we mentioned Goldhand yesterday for example they're
very very nice to us and if there wasn't a negative barrier I think would have a
pretty good friendship across those regions actually but unfortunately
would you have a quite significant negative barrier that's why James you
You'll be able to read that she's starting to learn Portuguese, yeah
Yeah, exactly right
Yeah, as I said, exactly right, I know it
You do a lingo next to me when we're casting sometimes
You're like, do you think you might do a lingo in two minutes for the vocal live?
Yes
We've got oof you
You started your new
I like you speaking of Maria the other day as well one of the Brazilians that we've been working with now
There's no language barrier there because her English is phenomenal
She's the last of the interviews now like she does
She's like that though. She's like a friendly banter
She was literally like ha ha ha ha you sound so bad, but like she doesn't mean a banter
She didn't peeks there.
Alright. That's an angle.
I love this though, by the way.
D-plus is going for a very old-school impact trick.
It's never going to hard stop the push
when Nirvana is in, but he's going to slow it down.
So D-plus, a little bit of disrespect, I think,
from having you try to take that fight
onto the player upside-down reporting the window.
That spell is not going to be fooled.
It'd been a long time, but like you said,
50 seconds left and they got off the gate.
I pull your fire, they got a single at C4, which Midian was tempted to throw out early, but is now holding onto to plant an ally instead.
And because the month has been banned the way it's no longer on a blitz, much more vulnerable to that C4 itself to go for a kill.
Maybe my enemy calls on a timer, putting a 4, getting in to ask for the second kill of the smoke, that buys them so much extra time.
And now the Nitro is self-permitting, even though it does find one kill, that's all the Nitro is available.
available. I love this second kill here for Midi.
3v3, I mean BME going for an execute 5v3, I would back them in but it's not like this.
Now 15 seconds to go, the Goyo Fire will block off the Moto door and another Goyo Fire will
find the kill onto Sikingo.
All the Tanks are still on the floor. Are they going to try and revive here?
Indeed they will. Iron goes for the peek. Midi brings Falls back into play into
the 2v2 now. I don't know if they're having to force that plant down, get spotted.
The coverage from Tokis, good for one, good for the double.
BME, not out of it yet. They bring the fire on an attack of their own.
A really good run there from Asphalt. Just finding the first two picks and putting his opponent to D plus onto a really poor position
because you saw it strategically. They're like, guys, plant denial, slow down the timer.
But Asphalt found the smoke operator. That meant that those last 30 seconds that was going to be like spamming toxic babes in kitchen hatch,
It goes away, and D plus fours will walk into gunfights.
Then the second layer of util from the attack smoke grenades, cover the main hallway,
cover the AKs, push in from the main corridor into the bomb site,
rather than dropping down the hatchery of prone stuck in the animation of falling.
So honestly, very good, many executed there for a couple of times,
but can you be my namey?
Very good showcase.
Mind you, they're putting up a decent fight with two players on the donuts.
The King go and Yanaghi are both 0 and 7.
You have to wonder what could have been had they had just the proper kills to their name
and making this moment even 5, 5v5.
Do you remember how Yanaghi performed in the first few seconds?
I mean, I'm pretty sure from memory that was just one of those games where no one really put up a fight.
It was a very one-sided 7-1 affair.
I think we had 3 fallage rounds, if I recall.
I can have a look though.
Yeah, what's that?
Maybe he did
Wable
Almost there
Oh, I found it scars. I got it. Oh, damn it. You got that so much quicker than me, man
Yeah, you know how you got four kills
That's not that
Is
Yeah, it was funny.
Yeah, minus to do an entry.
So, Kingo, it's not great, but you know, I'm just playing an aggressive, fragile role,
so I can't, and also, if you can on the block, so I kind of...
...with a little bit more pressure on him to perform.
Like I said, playing Ritual in defense, being famous on the attack now,
that just comes with a bit more of an expectation to get those kills and get the entry going.
At least we first need building and make a teammate behind to get the trade worst case scenario
Those are three assistos is to doing damage and then dying after
It comes the first track to want to pass off Levy
Lucenified himself is peeling back the layers playing sort of lounge quite far with me an argue himself
Thank you in the basement only lounge
It's this can be my enemy cotton map in half right here
They have Yanaghi in bar to Demos flank watcher, watching two different flanks, while the rest of his teams working upstairs in master vision to get to their office to get closer and closer to our step-ons.
There is a position to try and ban a juggle as well if the breach looks to come onto the
con wall.
Quite an easy wall to ban a juggle, except for the fact that you're very vulnerable to
getting tainted or getting peaked from below.
Ah, there's a aggressive peaked there from Yanagi and from Toki as well onto the bomb
side.
One kill found.
There he goes down, Yuri still tucked away, waiting for D-plus to clear out, sorry, ready
for BME to clear out the first of those bandit batteries before he looks for something else.
Meanwhile, you know, he will fall and a good laugh out from Yuri.
Nitro Cell comes through, lot of damage on Dinova, very strange decision to jump in
there from Sekingo.
He won't find a kill this game as Toki is 1v3-ing and unfortunately just can't
stand up to the might of D plus it's a good way to finish it and though it's uh yeah I mean a tough
game for BME from the start it's not looking to get any easier a bit of a shame there they just
didn't have the tools to give her the battery in the wall and I mean you can check the demos
downstairs onto kinead off the wall there we got the dance the team sitting wall up working
Wonders here for D plus look at falls in the middle there in the front
I got low I love that the whole team jumped into the
Pose at the end even if they were to shy to actually do the dance
They had the new boys in the back Yuri and Eon
They were hiding just kind of looking and smiling, you know, and I've been there doing gym class when you you're like
I don't want to be a fool but I'll watch other people be a fool. You got a joining guys. Come on joining at the fun
midi's really wants to see a machinima
he won't kill six deaths
actually Yuri's got even better stats in terms of the ratio
of level three, it's insane
I saw he had 4.0kd
I mean I think I counted five kills
with Monty Pistols and stuff like that
like pretty unreal
he keeps just ADS AP
but he's not playing the usual passive Monty
yeah
that's a big game for D plus
but we can't expect that from them
We expect that from them. 6-2 with a lot of match points available now.
Arrow goes for a spawn page. There's a lot of damage on to Nova on the Blitz.
It's going to be a very vulnerable Blitz in the right round.
Two shots to a hand or a foot.
I'm down.
Waiting and watching now for the first engagement.
Nova's taking a lot of damage in the Blitz.
There's going to be a juicy force waiting for him, impacting me to go to fire, toxic
paper smoke.
Let's be very careful for the rest of this round, and that might slow down the approach
here for the attackers.
Often if this would be the entry, now more, well, I think we'll have to watch our donor
perhaps.
Are they making any progress anyway?
We used to see the TV wall, during the windows, running off its hatch, blocking
the jacuzzi, but I think you realize the wall is being forced, which is done
instead.
I can try to find the entry.
That's that Yanagis off the donut by the way, to go as sad as he still is.
It's not easy.
Why words?
It comes in mental block though for some players.
I want you to hit like a 0-4, 0-5.
It's like, oh my god, I'm not getting a kill. You start doubting yourself, new.
Okay, I'm gonna be swam, I'm gonna drone more.
I'm gonna pay high impact. You should have shot for this.
Like right now, Sikinko, you know, did the clash before and I spend these, uh, cents.
Once you put yourself in those positions, it's almost like you're trying to avoid the fun place, and then you're never gonna get into it.
That's the thing, right? Like, if you're going 10-1-2, then you don't really care if you die first if you go back in one round,
because you're like, well, you know, I've been valuable in other rounds.
But if you're going 0-1-8, you just have so much extra pressure on your shoulders to make this next round,
like, the round where you have all of that impact.
That definitely pays negative effect to a lot of players.
players. I think Toki doesn't get to try and destroy the fire gas pipe, so it's not going to expose them in the
late round as all the Sen's walls goes down in blue. What a BME trying to cook here. 5v5
execute is going to be a big ask. Those are like some things missing right? I give you what I have
like a ying or a glass or something else you could align a witcher set to go crazy with.
Right now they can strut off the positions and arguably maybe get inside the bomb site
but they can't take any fights, they can cause distractions or chaos
and not sure what the push is going to be
but look at the silhouette, it's all mean stairs and kitchen half dry down
Almost damaged by Mitty but they could get him
Still low on HP, vulnerable to the gas from Yuri which the last of which has now been expended
Novar! Big mistake! Rotates around the Tri-Inch Turtle plant, but that gives the chance for Levy to find that kill.
Replaced by Sikingo now, but he has some board shield protecting him. Thankfully, the smoke will do so.
The plant goes down. Not before Sikingo eventually falls afterwards.
Toki low on HP as BME now find themselves in a post-plant with a chance to find their third round.
D-Plast need to figure out their best way to creep into this.
They're gonna need to send somebody upstairs sooner or later.
They're gonna have to, they're gonna have to be ion.
You're gonna have to go down downstairs in the meantime though, there's gonna be a probability plus.
Where'd he?
He's waiting, I think he's gonna be on the upper bar to get into position.
Yanagi finds one, and unfortunately for ion he just can't find what he needs.
Two falls, what a damage, no kill.
Nice shot.
On to Asphalt, but there is no time left.
Yanagi will finish him off.
Big round from Yanagi.
on the buck finally having the impact he's been searching for and BME keep
this game alive. It's again the same trouble for D-plus in
basement they had a C-form pocket the entire time but no intel if the plant
was in fact going down or not and the smoke died early once again so they
don't have any reliable way of getting intel or denying an area that could be
the plant position so a singular smoke grenade not the sense of all just a
single smoke becomes the entire coverage to go for that plant. And they say we want none of it.
They target Bender Monty and they target Bender Blitz. If you want shields and smokes, you're forced
to play a few shields now from Can You Be My Enemy or get into a different kind of operator
like the OSA. If not, you gotta go for a whole different playstyle now and a different operator
approach to even get a plant attempted.
Yeah.
Things do change up a lot after those operator bands come through.
Yeah.
But you never know.
I mean, with the blockage available, the fuse is available.
The OSA is available.
Man, I want to see OSA having a surgeon.
So I know that we're already in the crazy shield matter.
But what do you think needs to happen to make OSA a little bit better?
Like if you wanted to like just like talk bigger changes
I would like to give her shield like some rounded edges that when you put down the department shield
It's a talent show technically yeah, cuz you get shot like if I'm looking straight at a defender and putting down my shield
They can shoot like my my hand arm shoulder basically the entire time so you're all super exposed
The handles are like on the edge of the shield. So what if you had a subcontract God around the sides
Similar to multi-multiple has extended guards around the sides.
Yeah.
It's that or just even changing the animation slightly, but that's a lot of work I mentioned.
Making it so that the animation itself is a bit more protected.
There's been times in the past where shields, entire shoulder was exposed
and then they would actually raise the shield animations so that your feet were a bit more exposed
but your shoulder wasn't and we kind of gone back and forth between those over the last 11 years.
I feel like shield is not a good spot where if you have really sharp aim you can shoot
with the shield operators but otherwise you're pretty safe.
What if you made the osu! shield instead of just being made out of normal glass it's made
out of one way glass like a mirror window so you can see through it but they can't
see you.
That is the other aspect is the same with the clash you know you put down the shield
and you take a flight it's very awkward how you can both see each other because
because it becomes a matter of who pre-fire one shot headshot is the first person
I wouldn't be against it either
it wouldn't make Ozone stronger once you shield this down
but it wouldn't help you get the shield down to begin with
so it makes you stronger in one area
which stays good in a different area
depends on what Raja is gonna go for really
come on guys
what's going on?
what are we doing?
in case the crash walks on the hatch or...
There you are, this is hard for us, so you can't burn that.
We've stunned up the hatch though to, uh, you know,
make your guard break and then maybe the Black Peek Canadian's go for a gunfight.
But this is the problem, I like, pushing from a very linear,
horizontal approach into a crash. The vehicle comes down the stairs of the
office road, but that's the problem with Yuri, it's very safe, it's out of connector.
The problem is no ladder, I can't come to concussions, I don't think that one landed,
No it didn't. This is very hard now for BME trying to get Agra on that clash.
We do need some kind of explosive here. Nova is all out of them.
Toki has fallen down below as well, hunted down by Levy, who is traded.
Finally the kill comes out. On to Yuri.
Thank you to the Dockabee, who, in me, is traded back by Midi, who holds on to this office position,
despite losing a clash of support.
30 seconds. BME do have the numbers.
And this time there's no Goyo and there is no smoke so they can just walk in this bomb side
No timer is low, we'll call out, take the BB but I would a great shot
Find Skeet and Skeet can't go first either, it's going to even numbers
Also, no he doesn't answer the phone, takes the damage as the blank needs to come
And playing from Midi, but good coverage from Nova
This is so winnable now for BME just to try and keep this game alive
But Yanagi is down to the floor, plant has to come through now
Which puts the pressure on asphalt cover, and he will not do so D plus
Finally put that last nail into the coffin for BME
73 win is a strong one surprisingly though not quite as dominant as we expect from D plus
Yeah, again seemed like it was the same couple of areas that kept stumbling
It was gonna be about the plant denial there for D plus
They were good at finding kills a good at affecting when they're on the attacking side
For when you're playing a bunker down strategy style, you know, they're in the final round.
The class gets caught off at an off angle, gets injured from a flimba-dokka patrol on basement
that never had the ability to plant a die with a smoke or a C4.
So it's not a D-plot.
It's not a bad area to have a vulnerability in.
It's pretty easy to fix back on paper on the strategy going,
oh guys, when you play this smoke on this base and bomb side,
you must be in this position to deny the plant on kitchen.
Easy fix.
Not too much to be worried about.
a game that sadly for BME isn't all that they hoped for but players like tokyu even for yunagi who came back and got a couple of kills after being 0 and 8 or on 7
it's something to work from, zikingo i think is the one that is really going to keep himself today
29 EPS, 0, 10% cost, that's a real tough one to look at.
How does he have even 10% cost?
I would have thought it would be 0, it must have ended or been traded at least once.
Still, not a great show unfortunately for PMA, but it's a lot better than the 7-1
that they had just the other day, thank you.
It is, it does make you wonder like what could have happened if Shikinko had
like an average day outcome if you didn't walk up a cover front earlier.
early am I because taking three yards off the plus that is impressive that is a
small victory in a game that was lost obviously and there's a much better
improvement from the Scars matchup that was a 1-7. Yeah, sure.
D plus though, I mean a big win for them looking at their upcoming games I
mean Kinitro, Trippy, BFX, CAG scars so they've kind of got two of their
easiest games out of the way unfortunately so for D plus the
season it's just gonna ramp up from here it's two 7-3s for their first two
matches and obviously the priority here for D-Class has to be trying to make it to
Osaka and trying to figure out how they can introduce these new players and build
that new foundation for a team that can continue going to these events. I have no
doubt that surely the priority is gonna be making it to the Sixth Medtational
right? That's always a priority I think even more so for these Brazilian
players who spent so much of their life in Korea right now, playing, practicing this game,
doing the normal stages here in APL, to go home to play in Sao Paulo for the Six Invitational,
that would be everything that they had ever dreamed of.
Yeah, and to get there, it's about consistency and even if you don't make every single major,
if you finish first domestic play and just make one of the events,
you're a pretty decent shot actually at making it. So I think there's a pretty good shot
at the D plus they have a good fight or a chance rather to go to that as I yeah it
came today for the new kids as well Yuri 11 and 4, Niti 12 and 7 I mean he's
always been a consistent player. They almost had the ace almost had that ace
as well. Look for D plus I think it's just about figuring out what's gone
right in these last couple of days and figuring out what they can do for their
bigger matches up to come thankfully we don't have to speculate we can ask
them ourselves falls on for the interview welcome back falls it's been a
while since I've spoken to you but congrats on two wins in a row here to
kick off the stage how are you feeling about the new team you guys hello one
more time have you to be here one more day and yeah feeling happy a really good
way to decide the tournament you know and yeah like a lot of things to like
like a string through with a new lineup.
So we'll start with two wins is really good.
Hey, you guys have had a pretty good warm-up.
So this figure, you start up against double RX,
then can you be my enemy?
Arguably the lowest CD teams here on the standings.
Next, play to those up against Key control,
which I think is a pretty strong opponent.
Anything in particular,
you guys feel like that you must fix before that game,
or do you feel like at your current level,
you can go comfortably into that match against Key control?
Yeah, I think right now it's kind of classic already with Trubb too.
For me, I think we just need to... we don't have time to do it because tomorrow might be so...
But I think we need to know more of each other and a new lineup.
So a lot of things that we used to do automatically, I already know what my teammates are going to do and everything.
We've designed it a little bit slower than usual, because we're used to knowing each other.
But I think we were pretty much prepared for tomorrow's match,
and we already have a good, specific, we've had no trouble, so I'm really calm.
We love seeing you guys go up against KineTrap.
Always a banging match, always a bit of a robbery between you two.
You mentioned that you need to get to know each other a little bit better as a team.
Obviously more game time, more scrims, you're going to help with that in-game.
What do you do out of game? You guys are all there in Korea together, practicing, you're
all from Brazil, home away from home. I assume Korean is not your primary language. I assume
you're not speaking very much Korean, you and the guys. So what do you do in terms
of team bonding on your days off? What do you guys actually do day to day when you're
in Korea?
To be honest, lately we are just grinding out a lot of the game. So we wake up,
come to the office and we play together. When we are not in scrims, we are doing some strike
time, so father reveals. And when we are not doing this, we are playing some matches together,
team death matches. So, and I'm really happy because I think it is a really important thing to
do as a team, you know? And so yeah, sometimes also we have like a one day off in a week. So
usually Sunday we go off like, oh, let's see something, you know, because it's really far
We are a country from Brazil, so we have a lot of different things to do here.
We can go for a lot of interesting points.
And we are spending a lot of time together.
So yeah, I think the bonding part is really cool.
I'm really enjoying the process right now.
Yeah, cool. I've never been to Korea.
It sounds like an incredible place to play.
Yeah, it's amazing.
You get a little bit home sick sometimes,
but thanks for it.
It was great to talk to you again.
Good luck in your big game tomorrow.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
See you night.
Bye bye.
And I think it sets a very good point of view for us like where falls is that and how like the team is being led saying right now
We're loving the game grinding. We've got new pickups
We just got to get an hour's in because that's the only thing that's gonna matter right now getting to dirty chopper in
In the server timings the synergy and once we have all that maybe we can do a bit more on paper
Start stuff maybe we can take one month the other week for example
So right now they're grinding to pee at the perfect moment that perfect moment
one of them will be tomorrow because Gnattro will not be an easy opponent.
Gnattro have actually lost their match the other day though, in fact to BNK, Ferex, who
are playing up next in the all-Korean barn burner, it's Ferex taking on Trippie main telecom on his break.
Move my love out of the face now I can take a life
Bring it back to me, I hope you'll be behind that I'm bangin' on the getaway
Are you in a time, a time?
Moment of change, I'm on a revival
Switchin' the game, they know their name
I'm one and I'm fine
Go, go, go, go, go
I can't take it, can't write it
You understand it in life
These time to tell me this give me life
This give me life, this give me life
This give me life, this give me life
This give me life, this give me life
This give me life, this give me life
I was a kid and I had a lot of fun doing it since I was a kid.
When I was a kid, I couldn't play outside like normal people.
My mother and father used to play a lot of games,
and because of that, I was in a place where they could play a lot of games.
When I was a kid, I was very rebellious.
I would do things that I didn't want to do.
I was really bad at it, but I was walking, playing soccer, basketball.
I didn't care at all.
And then, when there are more facilities,
you can't physically play outside.
For example, games are the main thing you can do in the hospital.
You can't do what you were told.
So, it's not like you were limited.
Yes, I think it was the most fun game I ever played when I was young.
I was in school, and I played games at home all night.
Now, when I think about it, I have to thank my family.
I'm a pro gamer, so I can earn more than a few people.
I have to thank them.
When I first started CG, it was my first time at my friend's house.
I was playing with my friend, and I had a really good impression of the game.
I think it's a good feeling. It's like I've never played a game like this before.
I think that's what I like.
It's probably from season 0.
When I started my own series, I was doing Minecraft,
and I was the only one who did it.
So I feel like it didn't have that kind of impact in Japan.
I've been doing it since the beginning,
I think I can win whatever I want to win.
I'm so proud of myself that I can't lose to anyone.
I'm so happy.
It's so familiar in the pattern That's worth it, I'm about the way I move
Move to you
Say your eyes to make it matter
Look at me differently from what I'm used to
You see I'm such a fool
Oh
D-plus looking in great form in the first match of the night though to their credit CYBME gave them a bit of a run for their money
It took three rounds now
It's time that we turn our attention to some of the Korean rosters in this league
in fact the only two rosters that are in Korea and
Fully made out of Korean players. Yeah, it's been KFUREX and Trippie main telecom
Hangu you are the expert on Korea out of all of us on the APL talent because of your time with PSG talent and
And sadly a big thing that happened this stage is that we said goodbye to one of those iconic former PSU talent players
Misa actually retired from Fear X
So Pengu is a lovely person, I love him so much
him so much that sometimes he forgets to un-heat his microphone and I just listen to him and I
nod my head but um it's okay. It happens Peggy that's all right you can sort that out
for them meanwhile I'll start really breaking down this roster so as I said Misa has retired
unfortunately JLT has come on in now JLT is a player who's been around the block a few times
been around in the scene for a while and is you know keen to come back I assume and hopefully help
out fear ex who sadly haven't had the greatest run this year I mean everything changed at the start
of this year when fear ex completely canned their original roster just before he got me kickoff and
they ended up with their worst showing an APL north that they've ever had before team seven
I have.
Nice.
Welcome back, Pengu.
Well, I'll just give you back the mic again and ask you the same question I was asking
before.
Just, yeah.
Misa has retired.
JLT is in.
Cool.
It's my turn.
Yes.
I mean, first of all, it's a very friendly exchange because Misa used to play with
JLT back in PEC Talon, so it feels like you're not handing over the torch per se,
but it feels like it's going to be a friendly phase taking your spot.
I think Misa will feel a bit of good about that.
It's a shame that Misa has chosen to retire.
I know that he was kind of juggling with that for a long time actually.
It's hard as a Korean pro player, Rainbow succeeds.
There's not that many up-and-coming players, there's not many teams that you can join.
And if you really want to have the best shot at going very far, you'd want to join BNKPhyrex.
Misa did that, he accomplished that dream of his, but then the team didn't really get very good results.
And I think he felt that, that's it, that's the end of my journey.
If I cannot get the right result, the best team there is in Korea speaking my language, BNKPhyrex.
I'm not gonna get anywhere.
And therefore, I almost noticed it down.
It's kind of sad, because to be honest,
like, Fyrex actually had a pretty decent run.
I mean, the starter stayed one for them.
They beat double RX, 7-1.
They beat Kynetrope, which is obviously a very good team.
Ended up third place in the league.
They beat Trippie, 7-1.
Last time these two teams played each other.
Fyrex just unfortunately at the end of it
lost to Skars and D-Post, which meant
that they missed out on Bios.
So yeah, disappointment for Fyrex.
They're looking to bounce back and stay.
should have already done so with a win over Kino. On the flip side of that, Trippie main
telecom, they really struggled in stage one. I mean once upon a time, technically this is the
continuation of that old DSG Talon roster when they lost the organization, they became Helpas
LFO, and piece by piece, Pengu, they lost all of their best players to Fiorex. And also to
CML in Gossi once upon a time, now he's playing with Wave. It means that Trippie main
Telecom now have a roster which has far fewer of the famous players that we
once knew from the Korean region. It's kind of just Demik as the only really
well-known OG Korean player left as Harper's actually moved to sub now as
well in favor of Aron Arze. So it's an unfortunate position to
tributify themselves in, looking to try and get back into it after a seventh
place in stage one and after an unfortunate very good result in their
first game against CLG.
Yeah, and for Jumin Telecom, you know, when I first started watching them play,
I believe they played four trades from stage one and I was like,
oh my god, these guys, they have decent shots, you know,
they might have a good shot if you're making it.
And then you started losing everything, you know, getting after pretty much.
So I'm not sure how I feel about the vibe check for Jumin Telecom.
I probably just like, I think they're so close to breaking past this barrier
that they have and they'll be significantly better.
At the same time, I don't know if they have all the tools right now to break that barrier.
So, not sure about their brilliant future, but excited to watch them instead to see if they can affect their true highs.
Yeah, for sure. And look, they did lose Harpo, who moved him to sub, but in doing so, they actually brought on Adakaze,
who is a bit of an OG from the scene, not super OG, but spent quite a bit of time on that old GX roster back when they were Sandbox.
So I don't want to discredit what he might be capable of.
He was a big dragon back in the day as well.
But perhaps past his prime,
that's kind of the case with a lot of the players on trip.
That's it they can do.
Oh my gosh, we do get Villa.
That's a great toss up from Trippie.
You get either the newest map or the second newest map
to join the pool.
That is very exciting.
There it goes.
They've made four trades in their debut product match
at our stage.
And now they're going to play Villa
and ride in the map pool as well.
I love when Team is saying, you know what?
We're going to master the new map
because if we're going to be a weaker team against our opponent and store a curveball in there,
we're going to have the same exact experience of Villa as our opponents at the AKVX.
Yeah, that's super cool. I really like that.
And also, because we have some of the players here on TrippleMade.com that are those older generation players
in Anakaze, in Demik and stuff, that means that they have the experience playing on Villa
back when it was in the map all those years ago.
There's been a lot of speculation about what this new Villa is going to look like,
Whether it's going to be similar to the old playstyle, but with certainly new operators and that change to the basement bomb site,
Villa is certainly going to be a bit of a shake off from what we've seen in the past.
Time to dig into it. It's the Korean Derby between Fyrex and Trippy main telecom, and it starts right now.
Big question is about the bombsite rotation. I feel like before we saw Villa actually in C1,
what they get baseman is gonna be the side to go to it was better couple times in the ML and it was like a third of
four rotation option for a lot of pro teams and maybe this is gonna be a bit of like bias if you're a pro player back when
Vila was in the map pool starting in 2018 you're much more familiar with top floor ABG and trophy statue and you can reuse
old strats from your memory to like make those bumps as more playable whereas baseman is entirely new territory and you
kind of want to see how other teams are playing it in tier one level and they kind of copy reiterate
reinvent make it better and then play yourself um so a bit surprised about that also because right
now here for b and k if you're x they will do exactly that they're gonna go a vt first as a
primary rotation exactly like it used to be back in the day i love that i've seen a couple of teams
go a vg first i'm a little surprised though because i feel like baseman is just better i
that's my take as well yeah i don't know why people aren't going baseman unless if you
you just haven't scrimmed this map at all and you just don't have any prep for it.
But yeah, AVG plays out very similarly to the way it used to.
And people are still doing the two reinforcements on the bar wall, single reinforcement in the
head holes on the wall into Aviator, so, yeah, I don't know.
A lot of extensions as well.
And this was very much matter at the end of Villa's life, particularly because, let's
explain the angle into closet that people don't really use these days, but we might
see it come into play now that there was back in the pool. There's a nice little angle. If you
reinforce the middle panel on the stat wall facing into master and you have a little kill
hole on the wall, then some feed holes in the closet, you can actually see people as they
come in. And it's pretty much unwinnable from the closet perspective. It's a really strong
power position for the defense. You have to be a shoot operator and just block the
bullets as the only way in, really. And I think that's the main thing about Villez. In some
ways. It plays out a little bit like a skyscraper. How the middle of the map doesn't have a lot of
presence. It's just a red staircase, hard to navigate to an attacker because it's easier to hold it to
defender. And getting the initial foothold in the building can also be quite challenging if the
enemy is extending and holding it with a couple of different roamers. As you can see right now,
a lot of gulping happening from the external using the A-Summit Chas in the mirror window.
It doesn't quite remove the mirror but does remove the playable spot beneath it as there's
This is going to be a big gaping hole, so not force-packing if you're except by a step.
But over 60 seconds in and not a single attacker is in the building just yet, but here we go.
Rune, on the BB, immediately sees contact on the stairs.
Spot from down below though, the impact will open up an avenue to try and fight me,
but it doesn't work out here.
Here X, and as a result, they're just going to have to fall on back,
give Trippie the respect, and give them the specs.
There's Shinnah the Gorya Fireball's on top there before the Fenders fell on back to stall
for a few extra seconds.
Good Nate though, we'll clear the Denariate Laser here from the wolf door enabling the
9 to push up.
So the current position for Trigman Telecom, this is going to be the most challenging
part of a round on Villa often.
You're going to be battling with the Red Staircase flank, the Astro Staircase
flank, trying to take 90, reaching 90 vault wall and ideally in the perfect
world you want to send one attacker on the study balcony on the other side of
the building utilizing the roof to get that backstab angle if you can get to a
stale position here in a 5v5 you're in a very good spot. Like I said before a lot
of moving parts we're seeing a silhouette there flanking part of
extra staircase there is a drone right now nobody's watching it we'll give
The opening kill on to the ace of Demik, keep an eye on that flanker.
The man in statue, Wookiee man is all the way deep into statue as Trippie try and focus
up on the bomb set.
They wanna look for a default band Wookiee finally comes through for the double kill
the whole time he was on for that flank, nobody knew about him and he gets three
kills out of it. All trip he had to do was have a single drone on for that flank watch
and this round may well have been theirs. It could have been a free kill onto Wookiee there.
But no, he must have used that gadget to find that there were no drones watching him. And
as a result, he gets all three kills needed to dismantle this push from Trippy, completely
being K-Fear X, swimmingly take the first round.
It's exactly why that top reposition is so tricky to deal with because it's one small
mistake and you will literally just lose the round.
You need to have one player, often an IGLO support who has no real job on the server,
the AFK, hop on drones, you're watching bottom red, you're watching for vertical C4 and you're
watching the astro flank.
If you let go for just 5 seconds, the gap will be there and the flank will occur.
That's what we witnessed.
I was tracking Wookieman's position on the bottom left panel, he was using the
scanner like you said, walking up Astro Staircase into Master Bedroom, then into
statue to get that quick access into the top red platform of lending where you
got the three-piece. And that's just because of nobody from the attack of
Trimant Telecom, they sat down on drones. Everyone had a job, right?
That gets fired on the bum side using the grenades, one guy's breeching the
vault wall, one guy's rushing to study balcony, everyone has something that
they need to do. Need to leapfrog. It means that I'm doing something to help
you and once I'm helping you that you can do your thing I'm gonna go start
watching the flank. While I'm trying to help you you need to watch the flank for
me that way we can leave frock into the responsibility and we're taking turns at
doing different things in the server and that's the other aspect of Billa it's a
very time-consuming map because it's hard to get in the building initially
and that means that you're not gonna have that time always to play
perfect siege and then Phyrix in this case Wookiee Man can take full advantage and find
back.
It's true that they operate as well for Wookiee on the solos to check where those tank watch
drones were or were not.
Even just someone flicking it like every point in a second, it's good it probably
helped out a lot.
10 seconds maybe.
Anyway, round's done, could be got to be careful in the future for those flanks
But now they're going on up against the base of bombsite which is very very powerful as we said
Double shield brought to the table moono and NL
That one to black beer combo. Oh
Triple shield I didn't even notice out of Karzai on the blitz
No, she looking to try and lead the way as both of these players are
Way all went through the crypt
Now cause it with the shield that means you won't ever so was
So again, Pobba was a few years and sprinting with, is that the idea here?
It could be.
Get up close, get ready for it.
It's a big investment.
Yeah, it is.
The Elemon of Surprise lent them a favor.
Wow, big long line of sight being held from the deployable shield, from Ryder.
Big Nitro from Soldier.
It's perfect and he caps it off with a one tap onto the Monty as well
Trippy have unfortunately lost the win from their sales
as they continue trying to battle against that deployable shield and
Sadly no more impacts left to try and destroy that shield. Unfortunately. Oh, they do get it
Though Ryder can just drop down
prone and wait
Orc is about to be in though, there's a fleet to one, direct push to not work out so the
tanker plan B, re-stabilize, you know that smoke should be around the corner but the tank
right cross was like, push like a fire, they didn't cross it but maybe they didn't actually,
GL2 was just putting the folly entire time, there's your feet astounding, they should
have been aware.
Yeah they should have, they do trade it but they're mixing out the last one
left, there's so many different rat corners on the basement here on Villa and B&K
Okay, Fir-X had the defuser, soldier, and has a crossfire as well, with that TCSG, easy
final kill from that crash position, and Fir-X looking rock solid on that basement defence.
Why is it a hard bomb site to attack?
You know, there's so many strong positions, it's a very small bomb site as well, technically
speaking that there's two hallways connecting the entire site, so one defender in the
right location, ready for that sort of push and you can't just go for a rush.
We saw it as the deployable shield in the prep base that sees that barrel entry.
It gets full intel, chunk of fire, C4, shields get shut down, rounded
effectively over. I like the pocket strat from Trifium in Telecom, but it did not
catch BNK3X off guard. And that's been the issue with that basement
slot as well. Because the site is so strong, you're not gonna see a ton of
roaming and rush strats typically work the best when a lot of defenders are
of the bombsite looking for that room.
Yeah, that's the thing, like, especially when a bombsite is new and heavily fortified,
you can pretty much just sit back, play here one style, turtle on bombsite,
and more often than not, it's gonna work.
Because it puts the onus on the opposition to pick apart your defense,
rather than, you know, the team is some kind of racial something.
So, unfortunate, so chippy.
But I like that they're happy to go for a triple shield strat,
something crazy like that.
I'm also happy to play the Kali, which excites me as I've seen before.
I love this Kali.
Even saying on the clash, that's a great thing to counter with that Kali, the Vila.
Kairi can potentially be countered by Kali, depending on where it is to.
So speaking of the Vila River team, do you recall what year that Vila left the
competitive map pool of tier 1 competition, by any chance?
All right, I remember it was in 2021, so I'd say 2021 or 2022.
2023, Gamer's 8th was the last tournament. Yeah, apparently so, that's what Google says.
It basically went out when Construt Nightingale Labs came in. It was during that sort of rotation.
So, I had some time ago. I actually thought it was further back. It was about 2021,
maybe something to your head. You know, latest? I don't know. I think it was three years.
It's not this map.
See? I didn't. Oh, that's a player.
It's a hard map. Yeah, it is a hard map.
Where are these electric losses? What I would like to know. The Kali's failed so far to try and reach that open.
They can be above the triple wall, above the wooden beams in the ceiling.
That's the old school trick to do it in. And with the inability to cook the frag grenades,
I don't think you can get them, unless you say, obviously, Maverick or EMPs.
Because Nate won't get them.
Rollers are unlikely and Kylin ends up walking through an unbreakable surface.
October doesn't store archery too much.
Ooh, that Nitro is a free kill onto Moonoo.
One of the few things that should be hacked going for them was that Monty.
Now it's gone.
Oh, he might even be able to shoot the breach up the wall.
Wow, that's huge value there from Soldier.
from Soldier. Demik has just one hard breach gadget left from the ace. The Selma, final
Selma will need to land a Trippy to have any way into this bomb site.
This is so good from Big Ephere. Again, they're pulling out a 20-18 strat if you
like. You do the vertical line towards the triple wall breach and you play C4
post below. Obviously back then they didn't take shock on Reaper, they took UMP, but
this is a new gen version. And if you're tripping in Telenkom, you need to also
Tag the floor beneath the bombsite and go see force or a huge wind conditions for the defenders, especially in turtling with the clash, with Decayid.
So that's typically being confused, just locking out Trippie entirely for me to get it inside the bombsite.
Oh, this is going to be a tough one for Trippie.
They need to take their tactical time out soon if they don't find this round.
They'll have a chance to talk to their coach or another operator, but I'm not seeing a lot going forward at the moment as NL gets heard by Ryder walking through that barbed wire.
go down. Arakaze 1v5. It's not gonna happen. 15 seconds, it just repels up to the roof and
it's a chance now for Trippi to ban an operator and have a chat about what the hell they're
gonna do. They'll note the next bomb site likely to be aviator games. I'm gonna have a chat about
that because these first three rounds have not gone well for them. And I mean very common
operator bans on non-villa if you want to like take back the time it's gonna be like
Valkyrie, the Pulse, nowadays you can add Clash, Kai to that mix as well, Goryu isn't a bad
band, Smokyotashanga isn't a bad band. I do feel like Villa is a map where there are so many different
ways of playing it, especially in Operator Selection. Even Operator Secure Warmine Castle can
be super influential if you want to do those extended holes and fortify your positions more,
but with Trippium and Telecom they have a lot of issues in front of them. What are they even the biggest?
Clash actually and then the glass band back against them
This does make bunkering down viable still for being if you're a stalk think about playing a bus like your mind
You quite you call your smoke if they want to go back to trophy later on a basement. They could very much go to that place now
Now comes the Valkyrie
Yeah, there's just so many tools in the fear ex arsenal and unfortunately for trippy. They've really struggled
They've tried a few different ideas always at least one shield at most three shields
They're gonna keep running the shields for now. I mean, I guess with the Clash Band, you have a little bit more freedom.
The Blitz being teased out at the moment. The last time Attack on the Radiator games, they went for the Blackbeard.
And they really just died because of that flank from Woogieman.
But even if it wasn't Blackbeard, I wasn't necessarily seeing Trippy guarantee to win that round.
They still had a lot of different things to be done, trying to crack into that bombsite.
I kind of feel like you should go old school, you know, hard breach.
Just open up 90, open up some of the other walls onto the bomb site.
There's far fewer ways to deny reaches compared to when the villa was in the map for back in those old days.
That was the peak of the impact trick better. You can't impact the villa effectively these days.
What is this? So it's the Master Bedroom C4.
It lands right outside where you wrap all up and you can get your absolute freebie.
It's all timing based on sound based though and there is nobody here but Ryder doesn't know that he's still fishing
Or a castle in the all the direction left hand side around very smart avoiding that C4 trick
So he goes down regardless all that effort of being a smart and safe just the types of the window rappel
Well, there is a drone boost that you can do on the tree out of Master Bedroom platform.
We can get a drone on the platform and drone phase.
Yeah, I would have avoided that. Flanking the fight.
Yeah, well, one kill for the Blitz is nothing I really helped much.
He needs a nice player to take down.
He's going deep into the bomb site here.
But Boonu seems to be all alone.
Demik in study, Jonokov and support.
Goachy has snuck his way into AV as well.
left the bomb site open and Trippie decided to make the most of it but the
fire from Yinseng will finish up Dochi, Munu, the last one left alive now on that
blitz is still in hand. That's the shield away. Immediately gets seen for it out of
this world by Ryder who opens and closes the round for Firrex. A rough one
there for Trippie unfortunately even when they did get close still not
close enough. DRX so good on those retakes.
They have so much utility as well. I've already seen 2 C4 kills, Goryo fire kill, they're always
playing vertically, they're flanking. This is very good stuff from BNKFuerix frankly,
like they're just playing like really solid rainbow 6cs, not making it easy for Trippie
main to come at all to get the opening pick or proper bomb site control. I do think
from Trippie's POV they gotta go slower. Again, Vila is a very challenging map to
go very quickly and without a way to die, as I keep saying, the vertical C4s, the small
trigs, the bombs as a nut for rushable, you really want to go for almost like a clubhouse
style, step 1, step 2, step 3, maybe get onto an upgrade like your Solid Snake, Slice
Demo's, get downstairs and just, or okay, they buffed it away, I didn't check that,
they buffed it and then the way.
I didn't even look at the upgrade advanced, there should be a few here actually before
you started this, we're four rounds deep James.
It's going to say the perfect counter is to take, so let's make the elastic living control
and just lock the middle of the building from the verticality and happy games.
You can still do it.
You can still do it.
No, I just mean like locking down the rotations because they keep entering from like one end
of the map and pushing all the way over and in the middle the C4 happened, right?
So you kind of want to take an operator down stairs that can solo roam clear and
take that space.
He could do it like a gridlock or a nomad as a substitute as well given the fact that both demons and souls they have been banned by the Enki Fyrex
Roming will continue this time JLT is not hiding anything says look I'm just gonna play a visual you're gonna know that I'm roaming
I'm gonna know that you know that I'm roaming you have to deal with me regardless
I like that Fyrax is so unafraid of every single difference between us and our Akaze
falls early, Ryder, and Chikurin telecoms are not seeming like they have any idea of where
they want to push as a unit.
I mean, Phyrax are running circles around them on all of the different blocks on his map.
Again, getting in seems to be a struggle.
Munu on the blitz is the best option right now.
Could jump in close, he could jump in far, I mean, he was too mid a way forward,
but I think he has fear in the possibility of the bird.
Once again, he sees the vigil, sees his staircase player on Astro as well.
We had a trouble because again, from one bad point of pushing to another.
fight and finally get in and what now you're stuck once more
which is so low on HP as well as the operator meant to be the vert player
even if he does try and take part to the vert
he looked like he was single bullet of someone fighting him back up again
JLD is here with that boss G look at a finish what he started against
no sheet just waiting for a tiny little bit to get
nice prepped castle barricade it's gonna allow him a safe way to get out of dodge
Finally, TNT do take control above the bomb site, but they still haven't cleared out the
entirety of the top floor, Yinseng is lying in wait.
It's keep making new crossfires, new choke points here for fear, it's beautiful, again
using red staircase and AVG door, timer's getting low enough, things start slowly falling
back towards the bomb site, leave one member for a flank upstairs with the fall of a people
still playing by the bomb site.
40 seconds to play and still Goyo and smoke to burn. Time is of the essence for Trippie.
And there finally Yinsan goes for his flank. Quickly takes down Toshi, finds a second one of the Blitz as well.
It's all gone down the toilet for Trippie-Man Telecom and I'll just try to trade desperately.
Yinsan could take the fight in close range with the shotgun if he wanted. He doesn't have to make moves.
I'm probably very keen to look for a move and I'll drop straight into the fire from the Goyo
And now Yinsang up above holds all of the cards three kills for him in the round looks for number four still outside the building
Demik will find a consolation frag but not the round fear X4 in a row make it a fifth
They are looking untouchable here today
You're absolutely everywhere again
They start must the red room the go top red landing the go back to the bomb side using flanks upstairs
They find every single pick and trippy. They didn't deal the castle barricades didn't bring away the good canisters
Didn't find enough for the cavity. They keep losing the opening kill engagement
So they keep going forward survive. It is the struggle in the beginning of this round to the very very end
And it's not looking to go any better now
It's been three rounds in a road feels like where it's super one-sided and again
I'm not going to blame them for the lack of flying drones this round because they never really got into a proper foothold where they had space to go for flying drones.
So call it back timing, call it lack of oversight or whatever, but regardless the same win-critics and firx are true, the flanking and the vertical and other are hiding the gun and on a 5-0 lead, they are hiding past them in the middle of the bomb site to put the traps down late in the round for a surprise factor.
At least six kills by the way in five rounds for trip remand telepond back and flat so
Two-four rounds I guess it's that's with them exit franking is it like yeah, sure you're running at the opponent's in the round
Every single round as well has been a big kill for Felix our cause it has died first three times and hasn't found the kill
the other two rounds
Directs running on cloud nine at the moment as you can see it puts down those EDDs.
Not going to be a fun time for any tripping man telecom player when you're down 05 you're
definitely not checking your doorways.
No.
So I don't know what to say here, this is a tough time.
They're keeping up the thatcher and I mean it works like a pocket IQ to look for the
poles, the valcams, the p-play, c4s, potential tight bandit, etc, but I don't feel like the
gadget has a lot of uses that ask around for email. Yes, he has the operator, but the way
they're playing right now and how quickly they're trying to play, I don't think he
has enough time to set up. Speaking of fast, Moonoo's dead on the boots once again using
p2top red window to, I think, outside the building, but I could be wrong. So yeah,
losing your only shooter earlier, not ideal.
These things are at the time of his life. Also, Fyrex clearly have played a lot of this map because they're
Running a lot of castle strats here, which is something you never do unless if you really know what you're doing
Unless you really dry run and practice stuff. So finally guys
Probably the school Republicans after going seven and two
Soldier in close range does get dismantled by our Akaze
Maybe a chance here for tripping men telecom to get their first round on the board
They're checking the captain traps, the downside of Jung Sen both getting a kill and of course
dying afterwards that they know now that there is a captain on the board, got also the Razor
Boons from DLT, one spare in pocket, a Seaforth Wookiee, and there are ways to get utility
kills.
As long as those Casabara kids will stay alive here in Master Bedroom they can actually
hold onto this bit of single player waiting for the jump in, or a stone I think jammed
because the sound just kind of disappeared, now it will pop instead, oh, maybe blow
open the castle barricade? Nope, it's the soft one.
It's still, this is taking a very long time. It's very late in the round to be sipping
away the layers of this. You till the big thing here for trippy is if they can find
a pick, that would probably come with a gap. Now inside of the closet for Dochi, but limping
thanks to that trap from the thorn, the razor bloom.
That was a bit of damage, but more importantly, it slows it down.
JLT now spotted, tries to take the fight, but the Razorblub will find the kill onto our
Akaze.
That is a critical mistake from Trippie.
They're falling victims to these traps despite having the factor to try and help out.
It's not helping them at all.
3v3 and Furex look like they might just be on the verge of stealing yet another
round.
They close the half.
Trippie needed it more than ever.
Another.
Dismantle Ryder found the pick as well up to an Elnathacha who didn't do anything this round has gone down without a fight
Demik looks to try and fill those shoes
Who's that? Ryder spotted as well. Demik comes in with the bearing nine. No time left remaining.
Dochi needs to cover but Woogieman will deny the plant with the Nitro Cell
He saves the day and for Fyrex, it's all coming up in spades six rounds on the half
I
is repeating itself for Trippie main telecom in stage one. They only want a single round against
Fyrex. Pengu in the first half they haven't won any now. Fyrex have match point Trippie desperately
need to come back on their defense otherwise it's going to be another very bad day in the office
for them. Yeah and there's also risk playing a quote-unquote new map and old one returning back
for the first time because you might feel like you have a good read in the map. You then
play it in an official team on competition you realize oh actually um we didn't all is to make
matters worse i think b and k fear is at least here for a pack north i would expect them to be like
top two in the region at this map actually maybe directly only by cg or by b plus yeah because
they're a very structured team and i think villa is just a very structured map where you play a
a lot about the verticalities, the info, the utility, locking out your opponents, and
to be honest, Korean teams and APEC North in general, their biggest strength as a region
hasn't really been problem solving. It's been about the chaos, right? The fast style
gameplay, the good frackery, is the getting in the face of the opponent. Vile is just
a map where playing that playstyle, naturally, very challenging. So I think it just suits
I think if your playstyle is so well, well it kinda goes against the playstyle of most of the opponent I can mistake.
Well, it's good. I mean, if V-Rex like this map, it's another one they can add to their toolkit when they're going up against much tougher teams in a league like CIG and D-Plus.
only one spot to major extra grabs for each round and everyone would expect CIG to get it. It'd be a
devastating blow to the Japanese team if they don't take it. But FUREX have been gunning to
return to the international stage for quite some time now, D-plus as well, especially after they
were so good at SI. And FUREX at the moment are looking in some of their best form we've seen
from them in quite some time, especially if they can knock over a 7-0 here against Trippie.
Good riddance of JLT, he heard a player downstairs, but that player of NL is not making any more sound,
no more moving, no more flanking, no more timing. BX of course got Wuk in the Monty,
a very stable pick for them. They banged away the Asami and the Wamai,
fearing those tactical setups that they themselves would love to play, whereas Trippie
took away both the map control operator of Solid Snake and the Thatcher to lock down those walls
with Moonoo's currently played kite operator.
There's a quiet room in the middle. They've taken the space beneath the dumpster here.
DLT has done the thing that I want a trophy to do. It beneath the dumpside locked down
a virtual C4's cut off the rotation and flanking potential to enable Wukimana's shield
to walk forward without fear of a C4 downstairs.
Now there is only one C4 for defense on ML.
We're just going to go downstairs, but we need to play later on.
We're going to have a ton of freedom here that all the gunfighting moves keeps keeping it.
Oh my god!
You're kidding me!
We're safe to read!
What?!
ML, that is going in the montage and not the good kind, not the one you want to make a new shot!
Bro, that is so rough for TrippieMentalica.
from what a way for it to all fall apart.
Finally, a pit for Arakaze, much needed there.
Him and Demik, the Frank, clutch it up.
It's the two most experienced players
on Tribute main telecom that must now step up.
Arakaze almost finds Yinseng that cannot do so.
Now Demik has to 1v4.
Boogie man is coming his way.
The Boogie man continues to harass him.
The knife comes out.
Soldier taking a little damage from the fire,
But, Demik at the end of it will be humiliated.
No, no, no, no, no!
Refuses to finish him off, just bashes him into the corner,
into Trippie, fall apart and there is nothing left.
Fear X, 7-0, dominance.
Once again here, a phenomenal start for the Koreans
in APAC North.
Any percent speed run right there from being confused.
And the defense is they're assaulted to play discipline,
that you tell on the attack. I mean, they did what they could, right? They stormed the building,
they took map control, and then another trippy door to help them end the game faster. Shots with
awkward swings, bad timing, at the end of the day, Woogieman's Monty left open,
and they could take such quick map control and get all the way to the bottom side
with no issues at all. Probably abandon Woogieman's Monty. You better expect to
be going up against Woogieman. Such a good shield player. Monty, Blackbeard, whatever
it is but yeah look at a rough game here for a two-man telecom and definitely I
think a game that's gonna haunt NL with like crazy in that final gunfight
could have single-handedly brought that back into the run with possibility for
Chippie but he's gonna end the game with a donut 0% cost we thought that the
first game today was rough as a king go unfortunately NL has won up different
yeah and not just the stats but the worst part is the clip that happened
very final round that is what's gonna haunt you a lot as a player because if you ever have a bad
game in the future you know people are gonna link that you know your opponent's in pro play
that's a gift right there that spot is called nl now it's like white stairs canadian it's not for
a good reason unfortunately sadly no big game for fear x here um one for riders six and one for
Just dominant. It seems to be something between these teams that like FioraX did lose a lot of games in the stage.
When a lot of games I think they would win, particularly getting slapped by D-Plast losing to Skars.
But there must be something about the matchup between FioraX and Trippie that Koreans just know each other so well
and FioraX have that advantage because of the insight they're having.
I mean most of the players here on fear x having played on what the previous iterations of that should be made telecom master
In one form or another but regardless that's the game
Unfortunately for it should be they're gonna have to look the next week or tomorrow next match
But it doesn't get any easier from here. Thank you. They got stars DK kind of trade before they finally get some
What I quote easier matches against BME and double RX fear X on the other hand
I mean look the next game is against CAG, but after beating Kina Trope and a dominant 7-1 7-0
Here I feel like they would have a lot of confidence going up against even the best teams in this region
Let's go and have a chat though with their coach before I get your thoughts on that Pengu
We actually have mix on the line now. Can I just say man? It is so great to see you again
It has been a really long time
Welcome to APAC. I know you've already had one game and done one interview, but I just want to say welcome to APAC. How does it feel to be coaching for these guys at the moment?
Well, thank you man. It's great to see you as well. It feels great to be coaching these guys. Feels great to be back in T1.
Like I said, I was talking to Pangu about it last week, but I'm just glad to be coaching such a talented roster. Glad to be in the region.
We go back into the attic next and get up the old track book for Villa from all the years
ago.
We got the Casablanca's master bedroom, played the vertical post-it for downstairs.
You guys obviously have some of them practicing Villa a lot.
You guys felt very prepared going to this because you look phenomenal.
Yeah, definitely been practicing Villa a lot.
I personally like Villa.
I think it plays pretty good in the current meta.
I think it's a good like 50-50 map like a lot like bank or cafe in that regard
And yeah, definitely didn't change a lot and in terms of like how the map is played
You can still run a lot of those old-school strats at the basement set school
Yeah, we didn't get to see a lot of it today
Because you guys were busy training almost every single box site on the map
Yeah, really respects
Of course, Phyrax before you joined has had a pretty turbulent time that old Korean roster with Rin and so many other well-known players
Had a gradual decline before the team
uploaded stage one or rather prior to stage one kickoff seventh place in the region fifth place in stage one
But you guys be kinetrope last week
Tomorrow you're playing in CAG V plus and CAG and and kinetrope and scars are the obvious big contenders that you guys are
going to be having to play in the coming weeks if you're going to try and take a
shot at the major how do you feel going up against those top teams having seen
the way that they've played so far? You know I'm definitely excited to play
against them because I think that as you said like those are definitely the
teams to beat those are the challenges to stop us from getting to
Japan so I'm definitely excited to see how the guys match up and I'm
confident because we play you know very talented teams in scrims you know
in China, in different regions and stuff like that. So it's not like we're not used to playing
against top tier talent, so the guys are, I think, just excited to play and ready to
showcase what they can do against top talented teams in the region.
We can see already today what you do with the mid-pact bottom tier teams. So if I was
DAG right now, I'd probably be banning Villa or at least getting really prepared to
face you guys tomorrow. Before we let you go, I'll give you the mic if you want to do any shoutouts.
Anyone watching at home? Yeah, just shout out to all the supporters, all the supporters of FIRAX,
all the supporters of me if there are any out there and yeah just continue to watch our journey
to hopefully making Japan. Yeah, well you've got a big game tomorrow so rest up, go get your
strides ready and hopefully we'll talk to you after that match tomorrow night. Thanks. Have a good one, guess.
So I read the sheet and I was like, oh, we have NA, so there's no interviewee, but that
was like the tab below, it was at NYX, oh my god, it's Nix.
So when he came out, I was like, wait, I thought there was no interview, but no, I spoke to
him last week with Mr. J and we had a good conversation as well, I knew the times
differences. I'm not sure if Nix has put an all-nighter or wakes up super early, but I'm not sure
where he is currently in the world, but it's East Coast America time. It's 6.51 a.m. right now,
and they just finished their game. So whatever he's doing, he's doing a good job, because it's
hard to be awake at those hours and you have a life outside of just your career as well.
I'm sure he's pretty grateful that his team's 7-0ed then, so we can get back to bed.
But that wraps it up for tonight, for that match for fear x trippy. We have two more games
coming up and uh well our game of the night is still waiting for us at the end of today
it's Skars KineTrip at the end but before then we have Kagby Varyl taking on double rx after the shot
When I first saw the tournament, when I saw the CAG and the Noralengo, I felt like I was stronger than them, so I wanted to try it out.
Yes, it was the first time I was in the Nosep-shon tournament.
It was the first time I was in the Denmark tournament,
and I thought I could win if I did something.
But after all, I didn't go that well, and I got back to my normal self.
I was still in the team, and I was in the team.
When I first played in the online tournament, I felt that my opponent was weak, and I was able to win smoothly.
I felt like, what the hell is this?
I was nervous.
I was really nervous about the first time I was in the tournament, but I was confident that I could make it.
But I lost with my team spirit.
When I first got the Major, I was in the G2 season in Mac.
So I got a lot of admiration for him.
I think he's not that good at it.
When I first started, I watched a lot of videos of Kenji and Ramu's father's back.
It was fun.
I wanted to lose too much, so I lost to the rank, the custom, and the audience I was playing with.
I wanted to make the audience stronger.
I wanted to make the audience stronger.
When I was born, I've been given a lot of things to do.
I wanted to do everything I could do to the highest level.
So I've been trying to aim for the highest level.
If I don't win with Invy, I think I'll have to keep going.
The waves of people are fading away
The light that sheds before the day
The light sheds before the day
The night is fading away
This is the last wish
Even if it seems to be a lie
It's a wish that no one has ever seen
The lost voice is buried in the city
I want to make a movie that will be a long way from now.
Even if it's a long way from now, I want to make it a little longer.
I'm going to melt away, this is my last wish.
I don't care if it's a lie, I don't care if it's a lie.
I
I
I sleep.
I
Sleet
Big game today for a double RX coming right up next
It's CAG who are at the moment looking to be the favorite team to make it to Osaka
CAG by Varel have been
Really impressing us for the longest time in this region ever since a year and a half ago. They made the grand final
They put in this building phase fortifying their defenses and setting up since then they've made it to every single
international event and
They're looking to go back to Osaka above course their out position for this game in double RX
Sarendra has been in the scene for quite some time under various names including Elepho no name
funnily enough at the start of this year they couldn't have a name at all and now they represent
double rx now they've only made a single roster change for you coming into this stage they're
brought on Koromomo from can you be my enemy and say goodbye to duo and now we're looking at a
roster that is just trying to get into the mid-pack and out of the bottom of the standings
that playoffs top 4 would be a dream. A dream that the tournament is looking to be quite a challenge
especially after a rough first game against Nidus. And that also just the region is so competitive
right you have some of my team, Scarra's community plus at the end, CAG all waiting for them and
today it is gonna be about CAG because that is their current enemy for today's matchup.
The CAG they're the opposite of a team that is trying to fight to get out of the bottom.
They are at the top every single time in the Grand Finals,
which is their tournaments.
And yes, they've been rebuilding with DD come in from a coaching position to a player,
but they've been looking phenomenal.
They've been looking damn consistent as well.
It feels like DD John the Roster has freed up every single other member,
most notably Emmitson, who can now play over Loose Cannon when he beat,
but also a very structured, snow-paced player,
playing operators like your Capitao, like your Grimm,
Setting up players are sure read to go for the hunting for the kills instead because he has been damn good at that this day to last day
Last season was all about turbulence for
CAG failing at the end of it to qualify for Paris because they couldn't make it through that last chance qualifier
And had two week of a performance during the stage to make it to SI on points and this year has been all about
Redemption right kickoff they went flawless into the Salt Lake City Major
They struggled sadly, but that's okay because they bounce back better in stage one and at the eSports World Cup just
Month or two ago, it doesn't feel like long ago at all. They made waves by taking down Shopify rebellion and might be our most
They almost beat DZ in Liquid as well just two rounds away from beating those massive teams
Now they need to go deep in stage two to make it to the Osaka major
Let's have a look at what map will be playing today on play day one tag the tripey on clubhouse
double RX lost to DK on labs and it looks like
Yeah, okay. Yeah
Making a return. This is ballsy from double RX to see CHE go to that map just a week ago
And win 7-2 you've got some balls to leave that in the meter
You do well for a CIG, I mean if you can play the same few maps as much as possible and save stuff for the later BL3s, that is gonna be the SK scenario for you.
CIG had a 7-2-3 over Trippy, just last playday and I will not be surprised if they'll take it into here as well, not because of the enemies' RRX necessarily,
but because that Pophouse favourites the playstyle of CIG oh so well in the modern era of CIG.
So obviously he starts up and yeah, Hapama is on the right of the clubhouse. Also great to see the
Japanese operators getting a little bit of love and a match between two Japanese teams. With the
Japanese major coming right up, it feels like the right time to really give CAG and Japan as a
whole all the attention that they deserve. This roster has a lot of expectation on their shoulders
coming into the APAC North group stage. Last time around they went 7-0 in their group stage,
first place. Flawless didn't drop a single map in stage finals. They didn't lose a series either.
And I think the expectation for CAG is to make it to Osaka or nothing. I mean that's really the
expectation. Anything else, anything less than first place in APAC North would be a failure.
and got a deliver in these week to week matches even against opposition that isn't quite at their level like double rx
i've heard of bands going through the band the kaid here and the monti and the ying very sensual bands
going up against chg very flexible like i said before they can play anything right
and it's just monti sure and he's gonna play the blinks the black beard the fuchsia the capitol
The green we're getting Kali now the car you changes to right like this guy can play so many different meta operators. It's absurd
He's a real innovator this guy. We saw last it was at last game
We saw the drop shot shield attempt that was invented by anitson himself
He loves funny new tech. He was really also the the person that recently
popularized the big shot one before that kind of went mainstream and everybody was doing it
I guess he just wants to count the mirror windows.
Also we're seeing Sledge, it's crazy for Robo, but Sledge's pick rate is a fissure these
days, right?
It's ram all the way, it's box sometimes, it is very rarely going to be a Sledge.
with the AR, sometimes you set shotguns to push your staircase and bang for example a layer
or I can aim my shotgun at times as well for that matter but let's see what I want to do.
It's like a very kind of old school style approach from a C.A.G. top for a room clear all the way down,
do the vert, cancel the mirror windows and go for a BumZit Execute.
The only problem is when they get to the BumZit eventually,
the only upgrade that kind of plays into that is going to be the Grim.
They don't have an easy way of planting, there's no like diffuser delivery character
like the shield like there are a graduate protection.
Jingsun bend away, there's no glass, there's no sense.
So I feel like for CIG, there's going to be a little disadvantage
of an opening pitch who make that the difference.
Well, they seem to think that there's a roam going on,
at least they haven't finished clearing it,
but doubleRX had actually all fallen back to sight.
As soon as Shilry detected that roam up,
he ran straight back downstairs and popped the fire as well,
the gas pipe on his way down.
So doubleRX really do not want to try from the CIG.
On that roam game, as you say, what really will make a difference, what happens at the end of this round when it comes to that exit,
so you don't have as much useful to achieve that as they do for the roam clear.
1-30-5 hatches being opened up, the floor and kitchen as well.
Right on the sketchy wall, this is just about the average time to get this kind of job done.
My clearing, Ash House comes out, first one I think they're called by Max, the second one thus shatter the mirror that I believe.
That's a very expensive way of doing it, right? There's no thatcher to simplify the process, and if you're gonna shatter that blue mirror window, you need it in the player there somewhere, you're gonna have to.
If you do all that work, and just drop a kitchen hatch and go down the main staircase, what did you break it for?
It's distraction, just for the possibility of, oh, what if we do end up going blue?
Or perhaps it's this, a flat pressure from every single angle.
All the hatches are open, triple wall-beast as well, bird inside our kitchen.
in our kitchen. It's supposed to be double RX to communicate,
oh guys, who's holding Moto? Who's holding Blue? Who's holding
their tunnel? And in a perfect scenario for CAG, it means
that it's going to be only one gun watching every single
interpath. So all they need to do is win one gunfight at that
bomb site will open up very quickly for them. Set up from
double RX here on church is actually really strong though.
If I'm CAG, I knew that they had a mirror window and
the keyboard barriers, I wouldn't want to push this
angle. They're going to do it regardless. Here is that
but are trying to create a fortified position, but CIG have a breach on the church wall.
Being contested by a low HP Mao on the floor who will go down.
Anatole makes his entry, worried about that mirror window, but nobody's playing it at the moment.
Both of the final players, the double RX, are on the other bomb site,
and Shuripe is lapping them up one by one.
A finish from Anatole on the ash.
Is there anything this man can't do?
A flawless start for the big dogs in APAC North.
I mean it's so well played again, they get the information, they know the blue is clear with the greenbeast, they can push past the mirror window, they're locked down every single kill, every single angle.
Nobody dies or gets injured from COG.
Despite the fact they didn't have any proper usual operators to enable that push, it's just working well together.
It's kind of going back to what Paul said in the D plus winners interview that they haven't played together long enough to know exactly what their team is going to be doing.
going to be doing. Well, CG, they're the opposite side of that. They've been together for such a
long time that they probably know exactly what everyone is doing, when they're doing it,
who has the flanking, who's gonna play which operators. And like I said before,
with DD also being a flex player, it opens up everybody else's attack and lineup.
Saga hops in the stage, Annie on the ash, ash. Like everyone has taken turns on playing
the opposite of the need to get the chopper.
It's hard when you look it around like that.
DoubleRX, here he played really well, I really liked that setup I was saying just before
ZHG won the round.
His church setup looks so strong, you've got the key to the barriers, you've got
the mirror window, like the setup's good but ZHG know how to play into it, how
to pick it up, how to dismantle it.
they're not hard cantering those key to barriers or the mirror windows they know
how to positionally win the round and look if double RX are doing some things
right but it's still getting flawless then just goes to show you the skill
difference between these two teams CAG so hard to stop then when they both got
sharp shots and good strategy means that you got to be very well rounded
to put yourself to have a good chance against it. Now for the upstairs hold of
CCTV it's a typical one. Mero was caught at the table, and they built a
peace denial but there's no impacts of follow-through here on the summer charge so
CIG will actually have a way into the main bomb site. Then they said they are
either going for a full map take or was more likely in this case a CCTV into
Garrett's car catwalk scare. You do that with the glass of dinotin, you have
campfire and the smoke and you can be as simple as walking in Gareth's door with the glass and that's it
all you gotta do is clear that one player on Call of Rovers that's gonna be Yu Yu on the Assamene
it's a shame that Diddy didn't have any salmons to put on the wall into Catwalk because that's a
great way to play that position particularly. That's a pretty good reason for these smokes to try and
you can test Kormoma because I'm scared. It's a little loud to get in but the problem is
It's not allowed to follow through. Oh never mind.
Karamo doesn't respect the glass smoke.
That's a very strange mistake there.
Karamo should have known that that was a glass.
He'd already spotted Amundsen.
He'd already heard some shots from the DMR come out.
He should have respected that smoke
and he'll pay for it with his life.
Thank you for bearing up.
At least you know Ireland.
No one can now help him on the calibrations position.
Just look. One more fire for Kapital.
And also three more smokes total for the attacking team.
He's gonna feel that pressure.
Yu-yu ideally has to straight himself out of one for one, because from when we died earlier,
you can't want to have him get two kills for his own life to eat him back in the end of the war.
It's that, of staying alive for long enough to have Jinon Tashaka to move on time.
There you go, that's him right on the money here, moving up the stairs.
See if he's through the smoke to some degree, and will indeed finish off Yu-yu with smoke usage there.
This is from Shuri with the backup smoke.
Akasu finds Zaka though, but Jin on the ground, the best time for Kage to strike is right now. Akasu will be able to pick up Jin, but not before it comes 2v3 and CAG, it's just in such a good position to talk up this pressure.
Time for all the essence, they only have 20 seconds to look for a plant.
At the 5, at the C4, time could definitely be a problem right now, they're going to descend it.
All seconds left and I make this road here actually once already.
Oh, they're gonna actually try and look for kills here, Aniston wants to go deep,
slow down by the Banshee as Chibisi wants to try and force that plant down.
Aniston goes hard with the bearing nine, finds the final kill.
Big round from the glass player of Aniston, that's two rounds in a row.
Annie has just sent it deep in the bomb site.
He's looking very on the money today.
Flexing on double RX as he is want to do.
If this actually the first round got cleared the mirror window in blue, placed glasses second
becomes the main entry and counter for the catwalk hold and guess what, he's successful
in both of those.
Really no problem for him at all right now in the game, phenomenal job, you can see the
replays right now.
Also found the entry action core moment downstairs and then immediately jumped back
out the blue window put down the flank drone which was good because Mao was actually downstairs
in the basement looking for a potential flying CAG by Veryl one step ahead and Abar-X goes
back to base and bomb side this time. Look at that! The Knorr getting brought into the
action to counter the potential shoot play from Andy, who is currently hovering right
here. How many shields are we going to see? Just the one. After this next round, Abar-X
could ban a second shield oh fuse shield oh okay so what about the black bit
what about the blitz settle in the fuse it's funny usually fuse only gets picked
when all of your other shield operators are bad but no that's not at all the
case here I like it what do you reckon solid as sheets for the
I feel like these are very busy man it's got place to be things to do it's
caffeinated and goes in its way yeah it's a critical crucial mission
breakfast I can most I've been but I ran out of bread this morning so that's
my cereal. I went to the bay for you today man I got that bread. I woke up today and said today I'm going to get that bread.
Well as you know you start working when it's like early evening I start working
early morning so if I forget to buy bread again before I am not getting it
before broadcast. Ain't happening. Quiet round dough. You can't see if you don't take any
unnecessary risks in the server and there's basic problems that it's all
about the execute, so you just don't have to sidotapes alive.
Who's this first pre-unmatched?
Well, you should.
That's a shame.
In the last round, there were like, well, my magnets and other gadgets had to be cleared
out, I think.
I just think, like, it's a good practice.
Just fuse every single one of these hatches before you push it.
Maybe not a Katana from the later back then, C4.
Okay, Shereef, he's just sending it down, finds one, traded back by Yu-yu.
Thankfully, double Rx.
going to be quick on the reaction but yeah that's a big kill. Jun on the north by the way so
and it's a must to be careful about that shot if he's first. Only has one gadget left.
Here he comes. Oh he comes first. Okay. Reminds me of getting about the fuse gadget.
Nah he wouldn't. Xenia for all. Again looking with the gadget. If he lands around to
I'm to Annie that could be a kill but he's got back up and I shot for the DD
Oh, he's gonna die to the fuse?
Oh no!
And it's finishes him off with the pistol, but
Despite double RX lashing out for a few big picks here, CIG
He bought themselves back into it
Thanks to the breach from the fuse,
Carmomo tries to get aggressive from
bottom of the arsenal through that hole in the wall
This is a dead nitro somewhere
I don't think that's gonna be useful
down. This is a hard plant here for Anatzen. Dibosu decides to go deep, knees to fire, with
the coverage. I think Anatzen just shot that C4 out of it. It doesn't matter. DoubleRx.
Anatzen's an either plant regardless. A good round from them. CNG had good ideas, but
doubleRx overcame the storm. Also like a very good opening picked up from Shuri,
but he was so far away in the hole when he got the first kill. He had such a long
way to reach the bombsite doors. It's a surprise that they kept going because they all looked in that
direction. They double swung and took him down. Good reaction by double RX. The downside of using
the fuse canister on the triple wall is that you are actually exploding that mini bar desk,
which means there's less angles to be safe from. You're gonna be very exposed walking on it.
You can only plant by the black box on the left-hand side. The round win is exactly what
double RX wants to do in the first quarter, in the first three rounds. I would see a sound
of being targeted and the way in the Grim actually being removed that's you
don't get that intel operator into play which they've played a fair bit of so it makes sense
so this before here do you think that the Grim flicked it or that any come off the
I don't know what happened there.
I think they got it, because the green was found inside the other part of the toilet.
Crazy.
Very crazy.
It didn't work, but doubleRX found their first round on defense, which is very nice.
I was saying this earlier today.
I feel like we have seen more one-sided games.
The matches I've passed in stage two between Asia,
OCE, and APAC North, and EML.
I don't see more one-sided games than any other start to a season.
Like, it's been so many steps I've been heading out to.
And so, I see double RX win a round, and I'm like,
thank goodness, I get a couple rounds of CAG making work for it.
It also gives CAG a little bit more practice.
I don't want to see a team win every single game, 7-1, 7-0,
one seven zero because they're not sure they go to those international events and
they start losing well you start getting upset by a team that's
typically worse than you with some pocket chats and then you tilt because
you're not used to losing
I'm like a lazy parent and getting testing as she said this is true for
teams like your people your waybo your CAG that are just having a bit of an
easier time, maybe not right now, but in the past, no, not right now.
I'm excited to watch some more O's in the future and get to cast it, I don't know, that
region delivers, I think more than anybody else, there's so much memes, bit of drama,
players calling their songs.
I'm serious.
Yeah, love it, all for it.
Alright, Jim what do you have for us?
in the office hatch, just looking for that first bit of damage done to the enemy.
Mera will be taking his positions of construction, and this time no easy way of dealing with it,
besides the final sum of charts, so no rush this time, accountably.
If you don't have a Salamander, I think that's just that man that you're trying to breach.
Yeah, got it.
Mera will be getting deep, and we've got a multiple hull as well, right, I suppose, now.
He decides to try and peek off us, now that I know exactly where he is.
Look at this peek from now. I don't mind it, but I don't think there's anyone in a position to be exposed.
It's also a bit far away. Like, mind you, there's only 60 seconds left in this round.
If the push starts happening now, you're gonna have one less defender able to help anybody by the bomb site.
So, Mal, please get back to what's the site, as fast as you possibly can.
Smoke going out, on the toxic bay here, and Capitale as well, try to follow.
comes the fire.
Gn actually gets picked inside the office.
Aniston supported by Zacca.
After a Nade C4 in response,
Aniston tanks most of the damage into the shield.
Successfully!
Well, Akasubes found one. He's now on the floor.
The flank coming back to the bomb site from now,
and he is very far behind.
Got Saturn and Aitro, but I don't think it will land.
It's far too late, and Zacca is farming everybody.
Finally taken down by Malbin.
And the 1v3, there's plenty of time here
time here for Shurik to look for this plan and Aniston can give all the call-out he needs.
Chippusy goes for the swing and CAG find a third round on the attacking side. It was just a brief
moment of respite for double RX before they're under the pump once again. And this is the strength
of the Capitoper, right? You double fight the bathroom and you force out that player to either
go into the middle of Master, you shove from the window or from Condor or vault the road to
in towards the Cousy and die from the external breach. There really is an easy way there
to get opening paid for CAG to do a great job. Double RX to call a technical timeout.
Madavon downstairs on basement, but that is probably going to be the easier
problem to get a win on. Question is, can they get that second round upstairs,
either in June or CCTV? Do we see a bar? I don't know.
Play both of those box sites now while it's a lot of steam, so...
Where do you go, bar? I don't think any of us practice in bar.
I don't think it's bad. But they should see it.
They should.
If you would just phase with Lee, and why wouldn't our level R explain it?
Yeah, because that's very equivalent to English.
Our Couch Tiddles and Bank.
Yeah, that's cool. That's very cool.
I love that.
Look, I think double Rx probably don't have a Bastra,
so I think we'll probably see them go to HCCTV here,
just because it's been a couple of rounds since they played that.
They really got dismantled by the Capitao and the Glazzo in that round.
It's interesting that like the third ban ended up being the Grim. I feel like Capitao would have almost been more valuable
That's what I'm thinking as well like
Grim will either make you spotted if you stay or force you to run away and that that's you know
That's pretty strong, but Capitao you will die if you stick around or you're forced to run away
Also, there's not like a super high presence of one my acre in this game
Like here the thing just the acre basement in a thing just the one my last time in a place if you didn't play either of those operators
Or somebody had nothing on the car routers
So if you are afraid of capitalized scrim you could play all the opposite of a project more and doubling down that empty
There's gonna say
Zacker is onto the fuse this time now
He doesn't have a shield so he really specifically wants those foster charges for something that counters to brown
You know, you cannot freeze the fuse charge the moment it starts drilling into the wall
So as long as you time it you can actually get one fuse charge off
It gets frozen or one pop will guarantee go through and destroys the two browns theory and then
A lot of value there
Really nice
I really love that. Such a quick job. Now immediately the breach is opened up. No time delayed whatsoever.
CHE has so much spare time now.
Even then, he keeps one Selma. I wonder if he's going to try and use that to breach open the wall into
the drafter's project. From the side, because then you have to leave the angles of the drafter's player for a moment.
And Yu-Yu will be far more exposed.
It'll be a great shot if you can land it.
It can be shot from top red, but what you can then do is combine it with a smoking
A from the Capitao or a smoke arrow in this case, and then you can then get the A so
up successfully.
Either way, yeah, 5-string screen works well.
It gets tossed on out now on the 3, so I think you're correct.
You know, how I could that caliber up this wall?
I have not heard the sound actually pop, so it might have been destroyed or frozen.
See in a second.
Now the Cromola downstairs inside of the Ritz staircase and Yu-yu playing Catwalk
Raffaer, so the couple of ADS's. That's what everything lies upon right now.
If Yu-yu dies for nothing on Catwalk Raffaer, we'll see the same one from
CTS before, but take Catwalk, they'll walk into breach and start turning out at the
diffuser. No breach though on that Catwalk wall. Also, CRG, you're gonna have to do this
job closely with the Capitao. Out comes the smoke, out comes some flashes,
The fire can now come through from Sheree. The burn starts to hit and Yuya eventually will go down to that fire. Great work there.
I also noticed Jin actually using the door to try and prevent the run-up onto the stairs by hitting the gadget on the staircase.
I noticed that did happen just once, but he doesn't keep doing it. He's still got three in pocket. I think he's going to try and use the gadget now, but it's too late.
too late. I mean you couldn't go on the panting higher. There's 25 seconds left. Only left behind the plant.
One single C4 and no escape. Your Eastern World, if you were dinking, hold on to it and use it.
But instead of doing it early, actually, they can't go on instead to die and destroy them,
but stop panting instead. What you for?
If Rangesshuri gets denied by that intro self from Mal, somebody else has to step
into those shoes now, but there is a defender down below. DD Man has to have a big splash
Well, annaton forces this plant down takes a bit of damage the size of the
Steady man finds no one but a second kill as well
This was everything
That's ch g needed in the round just for us to stick that diffuse and now into the 2v2
The attack has the advantage in this post plant
Very much so in the breeze to be on the side of all the part
This is how we left our side doesn't find us under shot stock for a garage for now because annaton
It's winnable for Mao but he's gonna have to be quick. There's only about five seconds and I think that air jab has lost it for him.
It slowed him down too much. Now we can't even get onto the diffuser.
Hamilton and Dee Dee clutching up around CAG had no right to win and he doesn't even need the kill here.
Mao is not gonna have time to finish it off. That is another beautiful round from CAG.
A 2v4 clutch, Dee Dee says on a hope and a prayer, well he doesn't need a hope and a prayer.
He's got his own bloody good skills at the 2v4 impeccable love it. Love it
It's ridiculous that he flashed himself while trying to cover the guy planting and so I still hit the flick shot
Anyway on the chassis location. My who was playing the recruit operator downstairs kind of with the C4
Yes, he killed the guy planting, but it didn't like a landstripe in his feet
So therefore the floor that broke didn't really see that big of an area where the plant was going down
So that any style spending shortly after he doesn't have the angle you see right here the floor is broken by the catwalk rotate
Rather than by the default pet location
Therefore it could stick it on the timer hitting zero
Miraculous round from CG Barbaro around that they have no business winning
But when you're that good in the game and just adjusting in the middle of it a chaotic moment
You can find these kinds of rounds
Yeah, if Mal could have absolutely moved and clutched that up if he'd used the secondary
shot one from the sentry to just make a few more holes down below he would have absolutely
seen Anderson already forced Anderson F for playing.
That's all it would have taken, just putting extra pressure on Anya who was both of the
players from CIG severely overloaded him.
He was the only one off the train cover and he had to commit to the player.
double rx in a very sad place one four down on their defense desperate looking
for a second round thankfully basement is unlocked once again they can go back
downstairs they won this last time two four half wouldn't be the end of the
world for double rx but only finding a basement is not that's he's did the
ideal because they built up in the future and that's all they could do
than half of this is kinda tough so perhaps this game is better drawing
forward when it comes to the other bombsite for now we gotta lock on in for one more
time here in defense they play the same similar operators gonna be double trap
in the finery in miluzy mostly for blue motocall walk in etc. they play the mirror
windows or mild to protect the church wall and the blue position
cht there should be quite experienced against the setup and they bring out
one new operator to try and counter it. It's gonna be a sense. The first one here
room upstairs actually. Who's this? Someone's creeping upstairs. It'll be Jin.
Yeah, come on, Anato. Check those corners. Take a little bit of damage.
Well, Jin killed! What?! And then traded back as well! That's a two for nothing!
Oh. The CAG. That is devastating to double RX. Jin, I think must have just
lined up with Anato. I think now went to try and shoot Anato in the back
of the head and shot Jin instead then Hamilton 180s and takes him down. That is
unlawful man. That is very rough from Double Rx. Holding the base bomb to the 3
defenders is statistically impossible right because there's one of three
avenues to hit the bombs at Frost who main stairs three hatches third tunnel
that means there's a huge gap right now. CG's gotta not throw. Get their
flamethrower and sit in. Has someone watched it? Who's ever do it? Here we go.
Kitchen job, there's your loto door, they've got recense projector walls to cut off any of the crossfires
They just can't get stuck in a position where CAG are planting with one guy and four people holding passive angles
Because that's the one of the double R's they do have. They have to have the Nile, C4 and two types of babes
So they've got to hit the bomb site together and have that ability to perform for kills while they're covering the planter
time is of the essence. Zacken is to make his way up through dirt. As you said, far more than three avenues to enter the
bombsite here and on these three defenders to try and cover them. So CAG, if they split, they should absolutely win this round.
They just have to time it well and it's in. Unfortunately, it doesn't time it perfectly, but thankfully for CAG, they get a trade.
Koromomo in an off-road spot now, wants to take the 1v1 onto Zaka, gets it, but on the reload, Shiroop will hunt him down, and CHE 5-1, it's a very strong showing from them in the first half, a double RX, back to the drawing board.

5-1 and double LRX are in a rough spot moving on to their attacking side, PENGU.
CAG are so damn good man, they're so damn good.
They have so many different ways of solving these problems, so many new ideas, every
single round.
Sparky's vibin' dude.
Oh wait maybe not dude, is he taking a nap?
What's he having here?
He's hittin' a fat stretch bro, like got the bicep out.
He may as well be lying on the couch, honestly, is that a wireless headset?
Go lie down man, he's looking so comfy.
When you're expected in the game, it's like 5, when you're like, ah, when is it over,
when can I go live my day, you know, because when you're typically playing Pro League, you
do all the paperwork beforehand, you play the game, you have a debrief, and then the
day is often over.
So for Sparky, you know, he's waiting for his time to be unleashed, go outside and
go to the last bit of sun you have in Europe because the winter is coming, my
friends.
He lives in Italy, so I'm…
Yeah, but it's very different a big incoherent, you know?
They have 29 degrees, Italy!
Oh my days!
Right!
Do we have way older weather in my time?
You live in the Nordics, man!
It's very different to the Mediterranean.
I thought they were slowly getting colder too.
It's still super warm, Italy.
It depends on where in Italy, right?
Especially if you're in the South, man.
That's a hot night.
Obviously, I still have winter but it's not that grim. Also, it's like autumn for you guys now, fall or whatever you guys feel like.
Yeah, it's so cold and rainy and... not a fan of it.
It's already cold and rainy for you, that's crazy.
There are some parts of Italy that has like 23 degrees.
What's the temperature for you, like, right this second?
It's 11 degrees here and I feel like it's cold, like it's been cold but sunny in Melbourne.
It says 18, but that's not true. It's way colder than 18, okay? But that's what the thing says.
I have like a good amount of blanket.
Maximum of 18, minimum of 7, and I am pretty cold.
Okay, 18 is max, which is like right now. Yeah, I think it's cold as well, man.
I'm excited for snow though. We can build snowmen, we can build like a igloo.
We don't get enough snow for these things, but in my mind I look forward to it.
So you just get the cold but not the snow to go with the comfort
Yeah, you get like the slushy snow, you know, like it's wet, it's grey, it's yucky
And you can't even pick it up because you get really really wet for lost if you do it, so
Yeah, yeah
That's what we get in Australia at this game, it's just all this slush, so it's not a vibe
You know some place that has really good snow?
Japan
Japan
Yeah
I caught the vibe
I thought it was in there. Yeah, it's like a major. I don't think it's going to be ski season now.
I went in January last year after FPS day for the APEC Cup and it was perfect ski season.
It was so much fun, but I don't think we could do a skank trip after a major.
I think it's the wrong time of year, Nick. I'm sorry.
I haven't gone skiing in like 15 years, but I would have loved to.
I've always wanted to, but I was too afraid of breaking my wrist and I was a player.
so
You're so worried about that now, mate. Oh, I can cause our hands. Yeah, bro. I can both
Screw it right your legs as well while you're right break your leg while you're at you know, just keep going
Please don't beat him down
Lucky
Looks like it's gonna rain big time with Shuri outside the building for as long as he was that was a classic Shuri
But there's always up to some shenanigans. I have no idea
I have to kick him window or something like he was in the middle of the spawn
Very went for a bit of a jog. He was looking for the snow. He didn't realize it was the wrong time
Yeah
Wrong map. Yeah, it should have been
He's got legs dude
work you know knows how to use them as well early on into the game by the way
already three picks of such a rare thing to see not sure we should be happy or
sad that any tune is in the clash right now because playing the clash with downing
numbers is quite tricky because you don't have a gun now all time if it
should be front of your face it's a flipside and it ended on clash it's
probably always a good thing oh yeah fastest first kill 14 seconds impact on
the bottom carriage wall rather to enable to be supposed to be here by the
windows so if anyone drops down there on the windows position then they can go
for a punish play.
That double-rx has really slowed this down.
Now I can try to figure out what's going on here.
Nothing's happening.
Nothing has happened for a minute.
Yeah, true, sorry, something did happen earlier.
Lion's scan, the second to last one.
They keep rotating from windows to jacuzzi to office hats.
I think they're very unsure about what the best course of action is.
I'm trying to try and get Enniton and try to avoid him on the clash.
Might be the case. I do need to target him.
I mean, we have Aposue with the perfect U2 to try and deal with that clash.
Jin tries to make his way forward, but he's all alone here, and now his position's revealed.
CAG have just burnt a minute and a half by sitting back and waiting.
DoubleRx now have no time left.
Pengu, this is a very scary sight to see for doubleRx.
They have a player advantage for the last minute and a half. Finally they look to do something
But they find nothing two picks go against them as all Chibisu and Zaka need to do is wait
The double RX to run into their lines of sight. Koryu remember when you knew you now like trying to get into that bomb site
But the plan is gonna be so vulnerable Chibisu finds one. It's gonna be the end of it
I thought I was gonna kill Zaka for a second
Oh, Zack has an answer to the Diggle, and the CAG 6-1 up, it's just a matter of time, it's just a formality, finish him off.
Ridiculous, I mean, that is not around where CAG, they pull the Miracle Plate, it's around where double RX is not doing anything.
And like, if there's one area that is like very simple to like put a finger at, it's, they spend two lion scans, and they did nothing with it.
It's like they pop the lion scan and then they wait five seconds and then they push the bomb site
Surely you want to combine the lion scan with the push so that if the difference does move while you're making all that action happen
They get spotted but no there's a fear life line comes out for a stun
While she's blatantly peeking the staircase and gets countless one
It's all these teeny tiny mistakes that are costing them individual gunfights
Costing them an intel and therefore they lose the rounder
6-1 for CHE, they go with CCTV, they got NLT now in the Bandit, got ED on the Echo.
They're just looking to try and make life miserable for double RX.
If they do a good job here with the Bandit, they can lock them out of the maverick between the building,
but they have Maverick who's now left the game entirely by Cormomo.
No more Maverick to be played, we're going to need to get him back in the server.
Quick tech, pump the tunes, producer, pump the tunes.
Let me hear what we got today.
I love the background of all the Kegmo Barrel players. They have such cool background, particularly Deity.
He's got a little tree inside.
What's that about?
Oh, a tree inside.
It's a nice tree.
It looks like a fake tree, but it looks like a real tree, you know what I mean?
I feel like it's real.
I feel like it is.
What if it's not? What if it's like a drinking house?
Is this an apartment or is this an office building?
I see a door on the back left I think.
Yeah. This is a very large room though.
It's not like a bedroom. It's like a living room or something.
I mean this could be open design apartment
with like another room with a bedroom.
So this is like living room and maybe kitchen somewhere.
I see a catch a tree and a lot of doors. I'm not really sure what else there is.
Big tree.
Something is really funny.
Amazon setup is great as well.
A man of mystery doesn't show us very much.
it's always got some to some a bag in the background every time I get you all
back that's lady a bag let's have a look let's have a look at the bag the
zackle what do you got today in the back left a bit of Gucci the LV
he has to order
yeah you know you go to a major you use a first round placement and then you
go buy it from the back. I know I've been in it that recently. So, you know,
Did you ever like have like a specific idea? Like I'm spending my winnings on
there. So because I want to say I'm gonna myself this. Yeah, like when I want is a
2018, I picked up a mom's debt. Most expensive purchase of my life before
I put a house. A little bit of an eye for you guys back home into how much
I have a great guy, Pengu, for a couple of likes, so please.
Kids are out here, like, 18, 19, 20, something years old, buying, like, Gucci bags, like,
I see people buying cars and stuff with the SI winnings.
What did Pengu do?
Good guy, Pengu, paid off his mom's debts.
She took a loan to buy me a gaming computer.
I feel like it's only fair, you know, she made it possible.
And, uh, you know, you want to be selfish about it.
Me paying off her debt while I live at home benefits me as well, you know?
You know? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
More pizza, more chocolate.
Everyone's happy.
And all in all that, I like buying shoes back in the day.
Not like fancy shoes,
just a lot of shoes.
I probably like need pairs of shoes at one point,
and I wore one every day.
It's the same pair every day.
That was always the money.
I thought they were so pretty and so nice,
and then I realized, yeah, sneakers mostly.
But sneakers are expensive, right?
It's like $200 retail.
retail that's not a lot compared to a notchy bag it's pretty cheap eh sure sure i didn't i i i
thought that's like that's expensive for sneakers like look i i buy running shoes i buy nice running
shoes sometimes like once a year once every two years i buy new pair of nice running shoes
and that's like not even 200 us like 200 australian but uh and the most expensive pair of shoes
I bought is Australian brand of boots very popular expensive Australian
bag like no they're like they're actually originally were riding boots I
think like horse riding but they just kind of like fashionable like boots I
guess like I seen them they look nice I probably I wear them a lot I take them
dog walking because they're like they're leather so they're waterproof the
brands are in Williams and my cousin works there and so he got me a good
But then I can't wear them around him because I wear my shoes, I wear my boots like while walking and just like living life right whereas I think people that really care about like fashionable shoes like they keep it in perfect condition they get like the leather condition of the mind looks so beat up.
But they're also like they're doing their job you know they're keeping my feet dry while I'm walking my dog in the park.
That's where I'm at now and I think I've always been at a place where if I buy a pair of shoes that are so expensive that if I step in a pool of water or mud and I get sad, I've made a bad purchase.
Obviously there's like fancy clothes and there's the occasion like you're at a wedding or something, right?
But like if you have a watch and you accidentally drop it or scratch it and like you're gonna get so disheartened over it, maybe get a cheaper watch that you can afford to destroy and so to speak.
I've lost things before that I had no intention of losing and I was happy that it was a replaceable item
One thing of course is sentimental value. That's always how to replace but financially speaking
I like things to be breakable just in case it actually happens
Yeah, I agree
I agree like you're watching you got those brand new that you broke at your first event for syllabus
I think it wasn't that it never ran again, you know, that was 10 grand
You've been very sad that was right. Yeah, I bought a very cheap watch
I was very cheap like I bought watches are like typically like thousand dollars
I bought like a 100 a string and I was like this is gonna be my watch it looks so nice and then yeah
I wasn't even wearing it. I was literally taking my
Pass out of my backpack and the watch came with it fell
And this never works and I wore it broken for like a year until I bought myself a new one
Looks like we have gotten back into the server. There is only one problem.
Player who disconnected from Momo was playing Maverick before and now they are on Sofia.
The reason why it's a problem is that Anizen has been hiding the bandit in both the last
prep phase and this one.
And without the Maverick, you are going to have to probably take that to Sofia downstairs
and do some big booms from below to enable the breaching against Anizen's bandit.
Let's see if WRX wait too long to check and realise that there is a bandit.
It's going to be hard to pivot last minute, so I'm going for a late reinforcement inside
cash onto the con wall.
Thankfully for him, no one was in gym pre-firing through it early enough.
The con mama continues to drone up, takes control.
He was just waiting, hoping for a bait, as Malibreach has opened that main wall, I'm not sure if they cleared up the main hatcheries, but they did none of us.
I'm trying to figure out too, they have spent no use, one single grenade from Yu-Yu.
Is there a world we threw it from? Yeah, exactly, maybe it's just that single, I don't know.
I don't know, read it.
A great job.
And it's not like any of us any spear and pock either.
Like he's pre-placed them and they've been destroyed, so...
They've enabled step one.
Here is step two.
Bit of map presence, bit of map control.
Is he TB instead of gym?
It might be very stuck because this bit's coming for him.
True, but he does have to help hold that gas pipe.
He pops it and then decides to fall on back.
Wow, he is allowed to get out...
Alive.
Very surprising to see.
I'm surprised nobody from DoubleRx
Open up those master bedroom windows to put that pressure on him as he tried to escape
Hey, not ideal that we don't watch the windows the same time as pushing all the time risk taking away 50 seconds
Time for double R axis step up the pace, but there's a problem
They're going for a connector attack teams, but they have run out of heart breach to Fiat's pinball sense has spent both
They arrived at this destination, but they cannot do anything with it
Oh, this is a hard watch here.
DoubleRx had some good moments.
That nitro cell from way downtown underneath
finds the player on the outside window.
Zaka traded though by the Blitz down below.
Wow, says Zaka.
Valid reaction to be honest.
Why is there a Blitz downstairs?
I am looking around.
Now CAG just trying to buy a little bit more time.
15 seconds remaining.
Chibisi lashes out for a big kill
as DD finishes off the Blitz.
Trying to make his way up the stairs.
Jimmy finishes it off with the C75 and cagged by Varyl, 7-1 over double RX.
It's another dominant win for the Kings of Japan.
Oh man, looking good, feeling good, great game for the round.
There are a couple of very high-impact like clutch moments there from CIG,
but when they're not facing clutching, it is really that teamwork
against them that run victory. So many mini-plates happening,
reporting to the county, the C4s, getting their shots, covering each other's crosses.
In that final round, Enemies were hiding behind the single bridge, with DD watching over him,
always working bits together.
DoubleRX, they won a round on basement defense and that was it.
It's a rough day for DoubleRX, but hey, their next game's against CYB and me,
so they have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow.
And then throughout the rest of the stage, I mean, there's gonna be a lot of tough games.
being K3X, Skars, KineTropel, all the half-slogs and then they'll finish it off with Trippie.
Hopefully they can find a win over those guys and oversee like BME, but today a rough day in the office for double Rx.
Okay, on the flip side of that, looking as charming as ever, Zaka and Addison finding most of the open kills.
Isn't it crazy that Zaka found six kills, half of which were open kills?
Yeah, I mean there's that value right there and all this mind to sake plays more support
I think that's the thing about being type 2 cg minus
Sheree if there's like everyone else a flex player right sake will play the ace you'll play some of that this search would be a pretty corporate
with a ram sometimes and
Everyone is just mixing up what they're going to be doing and doing it in a slightly different way as well
They get much harder to counter for the opponent. I
Mean that's the thing about the matter the best teams in the world have five players
who have their own strengths, but all of them can do any role, any position and, yeah, and that's
ensures that he's known for his shield play, but he can do just about anything he can give it to,
and, yeah, Ken and Shuri, Ken and 3, 9 and 3, big game, 100% cost for Shuri, love to see that as
well, and the CHE is just about building up that momentum here in the BO1s, and then
really locking in the BO3s, that's really where it matters. They were pushed pretty hard in
Stage 1, there's BO3, it's got all three of the matches that they played in the Stage Finals worth three mappers
But the group stage tends to be where they dominate
7-0 in Stage 1 and they're looking really good so far, and I believe we have our interview coming up
next as well with
Who've we got today? Oh, Zachar! Nice to see you again!
Hello, I'm a 7-1. How are you feeling after such a dominant game against DoubleRx?
It was expected, let's be honest. It feels amazing. No words.
Obviously, we all know that the Osaka Major is on the line. You guys, of course, feel the need to qualify.
You know that's the one major that matters more anything else I imagine
You reckon you guys have a really good chance at this looking like you know deep boss make it roster changes
Here X make it roster changes. It doesn't feel like the competition has gotten a little bit easier this stage perhaps for you guys
We haven't really thought much about it we would it's just like a you know, like let's just play our game
That's it's really it's
nothing much
No expectations
Yeah, no stress no worries. Nope
nothing
I want to ask you we had a lovely little chat in Paris when you guys beat Shopify rebellion
AWC you ended up having such an incredible run at that event top 9 to 12 is such a strong performance from you guys
After starting in the play-ins and losing your first game as well
You went on to play groups, you smashed the CnL team at all gamers, you ended up losing to DZ Liquid unfortunately.
What do you feel like you learned personally from the matches that you played at ESports World Cup?
That it's just a mental thing.
Like if you don't break, then it's not as hard as you think.
It's what I've learned.
Yeah, really.
What does that look like to you when you're trying to work on that, fortifying your mentor?
What kinds of things are you doing on a dead basis to try and help with that, to try and
get the team over that problem?
Personally, I've been reading some books and even if it goes wrong in practice or anything,
just reset and you know like just reset really yeah yeah awesome well of course
where every single game you guys play we're so eagerly watching you especially
with that Osaka magic coming up very shortly I'd love to give you the chance
to just say anything to your fans to anybody watching back home um first of
everyone go buy the CAG skin please and yeah I just want to thank everyone my
friends my family my friends here my friends in the Philippines thank you
for watching always and that's it awesome thanks so much Zaka good luck
in your next game thank you very much see you next time next game for CAG is
going to be BNK Fury X, who are actually in really good form. They're 7-0 today, they're
comeback win over Kinatrope last match. Of course we have one game left tonight, and it
is Kinatrope who will be playing against Gars. This feels like a really classic matchup
here in Japan, and not just in APAC North, but specifically in Japan. Gars and Kinatrope
had so many good encounters in stage 1 and in kickoff, and now they get to fight
Once again here in group stage of stage 2.
The match of today.
Cabs match of the week because they're very even to each other.
And I think this match of particular later in the stage could have big implications on playoffs sleeping,
or maybe even who qualifies for playoffs.
Very much so. And it came down to the final playday in stage 1.
The Scars to actually make it to that top 4 and qualify for the playoffs.
Let's see what happens in Scars vs. Chemotrip coming to you guys after the sprint.
I
I was very happy when I first mentioned the best 2.
I was very happy with the outcome of the game.
But I was very disappointed with the result of the best 2.
It wasn't a game where you shouldn't be so happy about it.
After all, it's about roster changes.
It's about not being able to enter the player.
There were no players who were able to enter the game,
and no one was able to enter the game.
So everyone decided to join the D.D.
Since I was a kid, I've been playing C.G.
I don't think there's any more interesting games to play.
So until I win, I won't be able to quit playing C.G.
Since I was born, I've been living in a car for about 3 years.
I don't like to be different from others, but I think I've grown mentally as much as I can.
Yeah, I guess my brother is not really a sick person.
He might be a bit strange if I say the same thing as a normal person, but he did the same thing for me.
So I'm really grateful to my family.
The team is the same as the family right now, so we have to say what we want to say, and fight what we have to do.
We are able to do that within the team right now, so it's important.
Yes, I feel like I did well in the game where I won, but when I lost, I was like,
Why can't I lose? I'm too weak.
Yes, if I was told, I would get angry and say,
I want to watch the next game. I want to watch the next game every time.
That's the end of the story.
I
It's so long, but I'm just a key
The blue, yeah, I see
Yeah
You're right
Tell me everything I need
Every smile
I smile
I smile
I smile
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Oh, I got earlier than expected.
I was indeed unexpected, but of course what's to be expected in the APL is always more and more exciting.
I could not be happier to be here for this final game of the night.
It's Scars vs. KineTrope, it is the bang of the match of the day.
This is what we've all been waiting for and I couldn't be happier to be here sharing this beautiful moment with you.
You know what? I would say I feel the exact same way, but had I had two more minutes to finish my match,
my match put it on salmon I would have been even happier than I am right now
because I munched on about 50% and I realized oh snap I don't go live so I am at 90%
capacity. Let's first talk about scars though because those guys I am excited for okay this is
going to be a matchup to very evenly skilled opponents okay? Kind of true versus scars there's
not much difference here okay? Stars they're back baby there's no one in time where the
direct Nina duo got separated. Since last stage they're back together and they gave me more time back with the repetitions
You have to being departed. I think this could be the new peak of Starzank
Big call, big call. They did win 7-1 in their first game against me
And here's the highlights from that game. Very good. It was in fact Maestro getting that ace and all these stuff
But of course KineTrope did get the better of scars in stage one scars
had quite a crazy run in stage one actually they had to win on a round difference after they beat
fear X it really came down to just the final playday they needed to beat Trippie with as high of a
round difference as they could possibly get so that their round difference ended up better than
fear X. Now fear X ended up losing their game 7-2 for D plus and scars beat Trippie 7-0 which
which meant that Skars just made it through the playoffs on the tiebreaker, which is crazy,
really exciting end to last stage.
And then when Skars did get to the playoffs, unfortunately, ended up falling to Kira Trobe.
And I mean, from there on out, it's about what happened, what's the next chapter in
this back and forth story between these two teams.
Kira Trobe seemed to have Skars number at the moment, but as you say, they are
looking better than ever, and they had a great warm up game in their first match
with that 7-1 of course. On the flip side of that, Keena Trope,
and your personal favorite is yours and mine. We love these guys.
I mean we've been casting these guys for a while now and you were kind of
gassing them up to me back when I first came to cast the APL, saying all these guys could be
up next, you know they're very fond, very interesting style, people succeed, some people
see all the rosters and I said you know what, I'm buying into it, I'm getting excited,
but they were sourced in the beginning, didn't really align with the hype and the
and the expectations that we set for them,
that has then changed.
In stage one, the phenomenal overtaking scars and standing,
and then here in stage number two,
it's gonna be more of the same.
Yes, they've only played one game so far,
and yes, they've lost at 6-8 to BFKVX,
who's in great form by now, by the way,
but the way in which they play,
the synergy, the coordination,
how they're playing operators like the Maestro
that no other teams seem to be playing whatsoever,
that makes them, in my opinion,
so much more exciting than most Tuesdays.
For sure, a big bolster that KineTrope has had in recent times, bringing on Ayageta and Ayageta, they're rather the old
CIG duo, they were insane back in the day and they have come back with the vengeance.
The last time that Skars and KineTrope played, though, it was a very close game of In-Bahn
earlier in the season, stayed finals for stage 20 players from that match, and you'll notice a lot of highlight moments from KineTrope and Ayageta.
they've always seemed to step up for Kynetrope.
I think that Fright, as I say that,
I'm getting a little bit of a replay, bad timing there.
But those two players tend to do a lot of the Fright
and capability while you still have the creativity
of Kynetrope in players like Kawa, Makayu,
and even Aclair, who bring a lot of different spicy elements
to the playstyle.
I mean, you love talking about the Maestro.
Kynetrope plays Maestro more than almost anybody
else in the world.
More than anybody else in the world.
But there's some stat check in I think it was last stage and it's not a close conversation
Remember how we spoke about how Kirozum plays the most maestro by far and I think it was face playing the most
Striker the recruit attack and operator by far just a little fun fact
Here are the head to head stats everything to see scars actually come out of head on the coaches
And the KD and the console and the trope head of everything else
But very close. This is very high between the two of them
the stats for this year and also the APL.
Kinatrupe and Skars both are sitting in a position
where they've been consistently kind of on the outside
looking in APL, APAC, and Ockermesh,
coach of Kinatrupe.
Oh, he's going.
Rose got skills, man.
That piece.
Is this why he brought Mag on to help as well?
Mag, by the way, former AP coach,
former fanatic player back in the day.
He's now an analyst for Kinatrupe.
So close.
Oh, it's close.
Come on, it's close.
Come on.
Where am I staying?
I don't understand.
I think he lost it.
I think he lost it.
Hey!
Hey!
Very good.
He's close.
I love that.
Lost five lock in today's matchup now for a solo nervous cube, honestly.
Shout out to you to Clubhouse every day today.
Ooh!
Exactly!
Every day.
I feel like we're watching, you know, Apex North, they play Clubhouse.
it back south to play something else.
Oh, some should have the on that as well.
There's just like these favorite maps
in the top regions of APL.
Clubhouse League, there's a third clubhouse of the day
to cap off the night.
It's Scars and Kina Trove.
A match made in heaven, a rivalry forged in the server.
As we see the head to end results,
Kina Trove have had their number all year long
and Scars feel like it's their time.
It's been such a long time between drinks
of Scars. Of course, KineTrap have never made it to an international event, unless we get
way back in the day, that old doughnuts roster that made it to the Copenhagen Major. But so
did Scars. They also made it to Copenhagen Major, and they did so in a top eight fashion.
They managed to knock Space Station at the time out and go to the main stage. Scars,
of course, ever since then, have been chasing that glory. What better time for
two Japanese roster to step up than when Japanese major is just coming around the corner.
Five out of eight. What is that stat theory, James? Is it ring any bells?
Is that the head to head between these days?
Five out of eight maps played in Apec North has been clubhouse. So across both playdays,
it's five out of eight. It was played between scars and can you be my enemy in the very
first lady and also play between trippy main telecom and cag and then you set it yourself today
this is the third time that we've seen clubhouse played so five out of eight
flubby a back north clubhouse league
small surprise i guess but also it i don't know i sort of think like does it have any
implication with like punchlet being gone for villa but punchlet is afraid across every region
in a best of one was so low because if you pick the map enemy gets the starting
side of defense and you lose like six players seven one and seven two whatever
right yeah that's why I got moved from the map because there's just two defender
favorite stage one and the group stage console is the least played with only
eight plays oh sorry only eight rounds played yeah stayed one stage that's
And the one down play, and Clubhouse was by far the most played map with seven plays,
next to Chalet at six and then Le'er at four.
So Apex North has really loved Clubhouse, and it's not just today, it's all you want.
Yeah.
I see what they can do with all this experience and love for the map.
In a shop on the attack, they will ban away the bandit bros, the kaiden bandit,
And then of course, Star, then the wavy Grim. Ooh, and that's Grimite as well.
It's almost like a similar showcase as the previous matchup between CAG and WRX.
The hatred for Grim continues.
I don't know where to get played.
They're my fans. Always interesting that I'm seeing that side.
You lost to my fans.
I love that. I also love what I'm seeing on the IU side.
So a lot of views from CAG.
Love that it's not just CAG running it, I mean as we've said, it's an intro for a team that like running different operators, sometimes a little bit unusual.
I think what the plan is for the fuse.
Oh, I hope nobody is aware that Rek is still holding on to this position. Why are you aiding out?
What?
Firstly, why do you take that flight? Secondly, how do you win it?
All against a wreck no less, all the way it is.
Faced by Tastane, Kawa loads of less vertical opportunities now with the ram going down.
Although I think the ram boogie drone at least one of them surely has been spent from
outside the building so having some value I'm certain.
Another awkward vertical fight here.
The carriage
By the way
In the round for the room clear though one for one is not the end of the world
Nina still at large
I don't know, we have one guy on main, two guys inside of blue, a third guy on an island,
like I frankly have no clue what's happening right now, but look at the one I tried just
reorientate the entire blue hatch, blue stairs, 20 seconds, 4 truck, I'm lucky, he's alive.
most of the damage though just not able to sprint for a brief moment. Yuki's
size it's time to get out of there. Reposition doesn't have any more
keeper barriers though to make this a safer spot to play and he's about to
get up in the face of Akayu as another smoke goes out. Iogator finds his pick
there's the shield on the fuse. He just like finds Iogator coming from the
other side so Yuki's manages to safely sit in this position not too
worried about pressure from down below, but Akaiu goes deep for another pick. He is still
upstairs, gets downed, they just have to find fish like on the side, but can't find the final pick.
I can't believe that. The round fell apart, but Skars just barely win it on time.
Such an orchid round from the beginning to the very end. I mean, it's a 2v2.
There's an attacker defender upstairs in the blue hatch, finding inside a stock room,
with the fuse with the fuse down stairs. Chemical for a panic because there's no
coverage, has to go for kills, the timer hits zero, they're rather in favour of the defence,
like, there was just no structure to it from the very beginning. I mean how it started,
like you said, there was just a huge jumping in cartograph, there's ADS and Wreck on Scopos,
gets the kill, boom, what was that chaotic start. I like that we're seeing a different
poster from what we just witnessed from CAT and doubleRX, it shows that there's many different
ways of playing on Clubhouse, not just one correct way, so to speak.
It goes to show as well, even if you do lose the initial player on that roam, if you just buy enough time, it can make all the difference.
I didn't know which player it was, but the mute that was present in pool table until the very end of that round.
Or just enough time to scarves to win it in the 1v1.
Kino got parent close.
Round is a round, and I feel like this is a game that is going to be determined in new moments like that.
This is going to be a very close one, I expect.
Probably going to have a time for three.
Definitely deserve that.
Got a look here.
Saw a finger for brief moment, but I think
the taggery picked away into a sledge shotgun.
Karate was through the Peaks Cali and the Repeaks Cali.
same for flash counter, the potential of a castle here for example and gym defense that the various ones
and overall with both the secondary and primary weapon here getting above,
how do you in general, it's gotten a much higher presence and hit rate through the stage school.
I love the lineups from Kato, you look at this one, there's like every single operator
a little bit cheap even the sledge running the shot gun the kind of flavor that you expect to see
out of the kinatron roster it's all about how you use it it's all about where you find the right spot
to use the these operators i in particular like shields and ying and that sledge shoddy i do wonder
like what are they gonna do about that clash because the kali in theory shots from the sniper
You can knock back the shield but then you do have to have someone follow up and shoot the leg of the clash as the shield gets knocked back.
It is necessary to support each other when it comes to the clash. It's an impossible or near impossible 1v1 opponent.
Now go and measure.
Technically you can't the rate of fire with the Kali primary sniper is actually fast enough now that you can
Knock back the shield and then shoot the leg
It's tricky
Never mind not gonna happen
Yeah
And oh here we go
Sledge hop reach and out there's a sledge in the bomb side
It's gone off guard by you kids. What a shame that didn't work out. Sledge also a pretty good clash counter
You can knock the clash on her back with that sledgehammer
It's not gonna work out Akai you're gonna get stun locked it as long as that
So he's definitely not gonna want to take the fight there
It's a bit of a disastrous round and so he'll just run on the roof and say okay guys
Let's have a chat next minute prompt you tactical time out and figure out what to do next round
Let's feel like Kin and Chou are trying to over-complicate these first two attack amounts
perhaps like doing something very unusual and really like measuring and setting up and
getting ready and then someone dies right before I execute and then you're full sampled
the sledge in the maze as windmill but you're fused in the rooftop so we're doing two
very different things in the server also pushing into a very like set up heavy scars
right there. The war in the script for the Ying, the Nari Trapsichord in general, the
clash will stop anyone pushing off his. It didn't feel like that would have been the
correct run to go for Rush unless you had a very clear and convicting way in which
they certainly did not.
Well I wonder, you know, is Kinitropa team that decides at the start of the round,
okay guys let's go for this Rush. Or are they looking at the setup the defense
has brought and then saying guys based on this information, this information, then
let's do this right or is it just like guys we love that strat remember when that worked in that
scrim and it felt awesome let's just do that strat and i feel like the sieges these days so much a
game about adaptation it's about there's like 100 different ways you can play this game and the
correct way to play is not objective it all depends on what your opponent is doing in that moment
I get a bit more into the apps, make those right decisions, technical, I think, I'm admin
called apparently, allegedly an operator is using a banned skin, name and chain, right
No, I don't know who it was.
Did you hear?
No, I was trying to beat you.
I said allegedly our producer said, take a guess.
Who do you reckon?
I was just taking a guess.
Let me see what operators were playing last week.
I feel like wrecked if you're not not too bad.
Checking a look in the
in the replays, my other monitor.
See if you can find it.
The thing is, I can't really see uniforms
unless I'm seeing them fight each other.
I feel like it was fish like on the clash.
I feel like it was the clash using advanced skin.
Cause like, you don't usually think about that
when you're playing clash,
cause you're not sneaking around with them.
All right, nobody's using advanced skin.
So what's the problem?
Why is it an issue?
Cause it's technically against the rules,
even if it doesn't really get used to it.
Make sure you're finished with the rule.
You know how the abuse is telling you?
So we'll find who's using the alleged advanced skin.
Balance, we'll produce one.
Wow. Pretty eager.
Wow.
They're doing their job right now.
We need information.
They're not providing it.
Yeah, I don't know.
Give it back in the email.
That's all I'm saying.
They would have told me.
Absolutely.
Did you see the little skid that EML did with the disconnected fresh in Alhama?
Or something on the couch.
They were like, disconnecting, like, flagging out.
You see that?
No, no.
Was it the cold open or?
I think it was the cold open, yeah
Yeah, like Ann was sitting talking to them on the couch and then like
Jack and Leo just keep like DCing as if it was like what happened with Ella
Yeah, it was very funny
Oh yeah, we have confirmation of his eye gaiter
Hey, look at that, it's alright
Ann's skin on the ying
She's gonna see, he lost the ying, yeah
Thankfully he lost the round so we don't have to
You have to play, you have to talk, but I don't remember just a full morning, I've heard about that.
Not my job, not my job, I don't know what you're doing to bomb my job.
Fish like onto the Knorr, got to mention here the news operator in the game of course.
I don't think we have seen a single round where there's been a Knorr and a shield and they have like met each other in the round.
Usually that there's a nor and there is no shield or
Hold up player last second on to Monty hold the phone
This could actually be the case because if you're gonna play more like a rafter is which he is currently
You can definitely counter the Monty push the only thing is I would like a second defender to be in that Rathaus position
Swapping to a gadget shooting the shield. Oh wow back to a witness all critical. Why shawty says you know
I'll make it even harder for them. I'll get the opening peek onto aya gator on the ash trying to rappel up to the strip roof
Play the just barely saw him as well. That was a hot shot
Good aim
Kino are player down and if they do try and go for the rafters push as you say the normally raider received the Monty
two players in rafters at the moment
I'm going to be having a much harder time now and to make matters worse don't have any of those like easy to kill operators like
You know they have a time of natively the criminal spend away
They have some crack me. That's all they have to work with the world power guys as well
Oh the noise effecting in pre-clear. We got to see it for the first time in tier one
The nor works to counter the shield it's cars elated three rounds on the defense in a row
So, Kainatrope are really struggling to get themselves into this match.
I think a very hard time, and you're right, we did see the gadget actually work out this time.
I mean, Monty's the biggest shield target, so the easiest one to hit.
So, you drill the Nord gadget into the shield, and it works like a Goumai,
and the attacker can then hold F and pull out the breach from Nord,
and if you don't, it'll start firing like a volcano and kill you very quickly.
It does about, I'm not sure the damage per second,
if you sprint through it, it does about 12 damage a tick. So it's a lot of damage when you stand a
lot of damage. Do you know when the nor, so the way nor works, it doesn't matter what it's going
on to a shield or reinforcement or deployable shield or a soft wall, the first thing that happens
is it drills, right? It takes like a second or so to drill and then it starts. Do you know
when you're a shield, can you only pull it out while it's drilling or can you also pull it
After all times at all times at all times at all times
So you keep the but if I recall correctly if it starts burning and you pull it out
You will take damage while you're pulling it out
So it's not like it's not like it pauses to do mine for leeching for example in a continuation
It's what I thought could be where if you answer the phone call
The timer is still ticking zero if you then let go you take the damage
But in this case even if you don't let go you still take damage, so
You gotta really be good to respond with the shield, but I think that's the biggest strength of Noor.
If you do hit the shield and they're not like, right by a corner wall, they can turn back around and pull it out.
There's probably gonna die every single time.
So again, like, playing Clash vs. Kali, you gotta play by a wall so you can hide behind in case you get shot by the sniper.
I don't think we'll see a lot of other shield play from, you know, that...
All that Noor is up.
Oh thank you sir.
They aren't playing with your shield but...
I guess as a matter of like you drone out they fit in mine.
Okay no Nord?
I know I'll let Nord fit his shields again.
Also depends on like the round and the strap.
Like you know if they do have a Nord you have a shield.
It's not like okay GG it's just okay I have to play way more passively with that shield because I can't.
Especially as a Monty because you're typically as a Monty and you have nothing to fear.
That's true.
No fear at all.
Basement side here should be a different case for stars. They're slow.
They are all of them, waiting by the bomb site in the basement.
They're playing off the valve cams as you can see for some pocket, the mirror windows, there's some barriers.
Unit trope in response should try and make quick work here off the roam clear.
They found one back in the kitchen. They spotted a second in bar.
Very valuable IQ picker from air gear to deny them until they're from stars.
If it comes up to a 5v5, you have a few shields, you have Aphetal, you have all the half-leaved
parts you want, that should favor KineTrope as long as the numbers stay even.
So the stars want a C4 kill, KineTrope wants to avoid dying to a C4.
Here comes the fuse again.
This guy is going to reach open the hatch as well.
The tin canner, if enough.
I like the fuse before because that's just going to clear out any utility, denari lasers, in this case, thorn traps and potentially if you place it right, it can also destroy any goya fires that are on the church wall itself if you place it in a way that it lines up, it'll go through the doorway.
Nice, but I'm just making sure.
Keep the breaks to the mirror window.
Make the direction of the intrusion a lot more challenging.
Pines out of blue as well.
Time to execute perhaps, keep in control.
They find a little bit of picker-saltanina.
Good shot there from Ayage to dropping down.
The hatch into Moto.
Bartonukis is there ready to take that fight back again.
Safe and sound.
He sees Akaiu in his peripheral vision drop down a dive from that kitchen path
We need to see this key the barrier destroyed finally it will go down
But you kids takes the fight and wins it regardless scars have no right to be winning these rounds
Kino did everything right they opened up almost every single avenue onto that bombsite with that single key the barrier
The you kids was the saving grace now. It's forced straight for scars on their defense
It's sort of disjointed attack as well, time and time again, I mean, you're using the
cap of fire and blue, we're pushing into bottom main, we swing the breach and die, the fuse
drops the hatch four seconds later, then the blue push actually occurs, like, it should
be a three to one fire push drop, make the executing.
Instead, it's just three different teams doing three different timings, trying to
do three different plans, and there's no real follow up.
This is Scars playing as good as they shoot and as good as they can, and it's Keenan Trophy's
not really matching them whatsoever.
I've never seen them this distorted, I'm able to get up and kick, I'm able to get a
plant down, I'm able to stabilize, and I'm able to put a plant together.
They've got the right operators almost every single round, I'm not in the right positions,
I'm not making it effectively not together, but at least from our QV.
Yeah it's so rough because like I said I feel like Kino had a lot of good ideas there.
If you successfully build away all of the hard breach, all of the walls, expose those
defenders on the bomb site, you have a superior weaponry on the attacking side.
You've got these DMRs, you've got these ACOs, you're going to win most of those fights.
It was so destructive on that execute and the Azami's been really good here for Skars.
I think the trope decided to ban her out there were Mai instead of the Azami, but I feel like I'm in Clubhouse, Azami is so damn good at creating strong positions.
I've seen that for many teams, I haven't seen plenty of Clubhouse here in A-Pack North.
I'm sure I just have two chances now to get their heads in the game on the attacking side before we swap, and realistically they need to win both of these rounds.
the confidence the score line for a bit of parachute and side swap for all the
reasons right now how I has a good read right now Nina is in fact finding the
basement but timing does not oh you're just figuring the end let's get us here
that the most about to get a freebie hit the correct lineup how I'm all
bullets with the LMG I mean it almost got that as well with the vector
this is why good that heads yours thankfully for kina chair if they
They find that opening kill a sorely needed one after how it's been performed so far.
That said, Gingrich also had the opening kill last round, man in the first round, and they
didn't win either of those.
They need to keep up this momentum as the Monty moves forward, sees that mirror window,
how are they going to deal with it?
Need to hit Barna again in the action.
Or just do that, smack it with Monty.
It certainly helps out.
Yep.
You can see now that the stars are shooting at pressure for the first time so far in defense
they're a little bit eager for a fight here.
See the ones who walk in half face, the fear player in the hatch, obelisk shield, hard to
battle against, gluify a pop, they're stalling now for 20 seconds.
Problem here, the scars hold out with the chemistry, in fact they actually don't
have any explosives left remaining, and now that Kar-Wout has gone down solo, Hish-Like
can continue just standing behind this deployable shield there's also the wreck
inside gym fortified behind the weights machine and but with the
keema barriers as well so scars have so many solid positions to hold and just
play push now power tie around it into the gym office we're seeing that wreck
does I was finding thankfully for KineTrip they find a lifeline but
why should I immediately trade back a Caillou and so that planter is gone
actually found by Gatorada on that window but here you know you get it together the old
CHE core have to have a big impact in the 2v2 fish like on the floor. It's you kids in the 1v2 now
It was the savior last round, but he can't do it two in a row. Kina trope finally find their first
Yeah, still like off to a bad start with Carlos being sold by the main staircase
But after that it was four people working together office double shield
the poor Gryffire pop, they rotate around to the gym window, master window and con door,
the push happens, they get in, they clear rex position and they actually manage to find
a round in the end.
They're looking a little bit better.
Around the half those, and we see CCTV and we saw Kino Troaks inability to problems of
last time be countered by the lore and also dying to a spawn peak, but that
the soldiers run out on the strip offside.
Let's see if they can fix the previous mistakes.
good doubles-winner by Scars, but it was Hawa, one from the left, one from the right.
Even if Karrd were to manage to get one kill, he was guaranteed to be treated back.
Yeah, I mean, while there were a few things that weren't right there for Kiddentrope, including
getting around, I just didn't feel like that was so scary, so scared to even...
I want to see Kino bring more explosives, or at least more DMRs, because the key barriers
from Scars on the defense with that Azami are so powerful.
deployable shields being brought as well a lot of just good fortified position
like get a couple of sets of nades into your lineup i think if you're gonna
bring a shield bring that blackbeard maybe i know the blitz is really good in
close range and and that helps you get a full last round but the nades from that
blackbeard really help you have iogator with one nade on the solid snake
how are we two on the thinker thankfully this round there is a lot less to try and clear
On the scars side, Washra can be going for another run out.
I wasn't turned over from construction.
Instead of Kyle maybe flanking, Washra actually from strip club.
Can they hear a player because like the way they're looking at drones,
I think they know that someone's downstairs by main or by kitchen.
So they're just scammering a second here, yeah, it goes around.
I didn't know it's like this.
Might be stuck in my kitchen.
Yes, the impasse of Kutukahatch.
Oh, good pre-fire from higher gate-ups.
Why should I look straight into it? That's a good first pick there for Kino.
Beautiful.
A lot more convincing, when they knew there was a soul roamers somewhere on the map, they get both a Fingal MG and a Geosolosnake in there.
They got explosives, they can track him without groaning, and they have very good guns as well.
Much more, a piece that won't see from Kino Trove. Now again the 5v4.
No shield against the Norse, and no easy counterplay to be found there from Skars.
You have Capitão with another LMG, mind you, and it looks like we want to go for a connector attack.
There's Selma left from Eclare, he's ready to throw that onto the long wall.
The Cache, whenever he feels adequately supported. Aiyeda comes in, Aiyeda goes out.
Selma should go out any moment. Oh, I see, so the denial from the North is trying to destroy that Selma.
I think that will work though, get a three second view of anything.
The breach does start to go off there, oh well finds a big pick onto Nino this is looking
very sketchy now, the scars on that defensive side they need to lash out and find a pick
now being watched the kaiu on the boost spot finds a deep angle onto fish lag wrecking
new kids to try and save the half Kino trope have done a phenomenal job of
coming back from 0-4 down now they look to make it a 4-2 split and what a
flawless way to finish it it's a great comeback here for Kino but they will need
to keep it up on their defense in the second half
؟
?
?
?
?
?
?
Back into it, Kinochro did indeed successfully find two rounds that they needed to make
that half look redeemable. Okamesh has gotten in the ears of the players during that half-time vibe check.
Now Skars have got to show that the attacking side is a little bit better than Kinos.
I guess the upside here of a Kino Trove is that their setups for the attack,
like the plan I think they had in their mind, was excellent. But their execution for the majority
of them was lackluster. When you're playing a defense, your preparation is pretty much all
all that matters. Make sure you get a react occasionally to what the enemy is doing, but
what you prepare on paper that you want to do as a defender is gonna be the game plan.
Is the attackers have to react and make the right counter moves etc. So going off of that
knowledge, it's probably gonna be a better second half of a game trope than the first.
Hopefully.
Hopefully.
Well, I've got the momentum on this side.
Then it's possible.
And they got the Maestro.
They took one round, James, sir.
First round!
And they are back on the Auburn.
They've played more than any other team in the world.
Give him the Maestro. Just give him the Maestro.
Just give it to him.
Give it to him, man.
What a play. What a play.
Let him play Noor and Maestro. Double NMG and defense. Do that.
Ooh.
That's nice.
Are they gonna re-pick on Maestro Counter?
The facture!
The bravah!
See, there's a fear!
Underrated Maestro Counter, by the way.
Got three big rooms, so we do have a zone.
Also, Dr. B, in a way, there's a one.
Oh, my.
Who has the most explosives on the attacking side?
Ali?
The best Maestro Counter.
Nope.
Dude, I don't think you're gonna get it.
On the attacking side.
And the attacking side.
Who can destroy the most amount of things with a singular? Okay, few is just like the cheat answer, but no, it's not fuse
Actually gonna be solid snake. Oh well
Every single death in this server drops a satchel with every section get a one frag grenade
You can figure it get eight frag grenades in a round on solid snake
Yeah, pull me back with that. Yeah
I'm just hey those around yesterday that we work in Asia where there were three people dead next to each other
He threw a grenade, ran in, got a second, threw that grenade, ran back, got a third, and then, yeah.
Yeah.
One floor.
It's possible.
Yeah.
I'm theory.
I'm theory.
I'm theory, yeah.
I still think Zark is one of the best Maestro Camasulators.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see.
than not be able to destroy my G-Vibes.
Well, opening pick happened very early on.
I get it went down, but thankfully those evil eyes are just waiting for him to sit on and watch.
So to the rest, a key and a trope.
A style approaching.
I should have brought the code for it.
So, hang on.
I mean, if he sends it right now, he might be good for it as well.
Honestly, I'm with someone who makes a bit of a risk.
I reckon.
Yeah, do it.
We'll give you a call at the same time.
Jump on in, that kind of thing.
Reloading!
Just waiting for the setup.
There are those to be.
They got Evely, they got Tullus,
and then you got Turdyn for there.
Even have five grimpy canisters in pocket as well.
And now they pull open that main breach in CCTV.
It's a guinea-trope, forcing two very few actually playable positions.
Now they can play top red,
they can play bit low,
and then they kill all rafters.
Otherwise, it's going to be a top spot to be in,
but Rekkets in different at C4, I believe.
Not sure if it's you but outside the window is reasonable
Not sure he is
Surely someone's watching all the way over. Yeah, I mean that's the concern someone is gonna go for it. It's you guys
Rotates around to try and take the fun to clear all this gets a freebie with it as well
No, Claire falls on back. It's still a good setup on the defense for Kimitra
Even though a lot of their positions are being exposed. They still have a lot of good job
I think those grim piece in the next 25 seconds left remaining here in the Alcatraz are needed.
Bring the C4 and trade to find anything.
No kill, but it does do damage and running straight through the smoke.
Ah well, it's good for two.
Another 2v2, Nina still has that diffuser as Washi comes in from the breach.
Plot a tile from downstairs.
It's got a Rana to find the Inja, but hasn't got the kill as of yet.
She'll be out of clutch this now.
All he has to do is try and finish him off, sending it downstairs.
Why should I just get to hunt him?
He's trying to take that fight or somehow find a way to kill Nina, never mind it.
Why should I hunt down that maestro and prevent the plan from being denied?
Skars, in their first round of attacks, steal it back from Kino.
Absolutely ridiculous.
I mean, Skars, Nina was maybe one step away from being killed, confirmed on the
Blackbeard.
You get injured, you get revived.
of 20 HP. Each Maistir sap is 5 damage. He hit 3 of them and then he got blocked by the
ace. He runs past the server rack and can plant in a new location. Such a quick snap of
decision-making from the stars there. From pushing and planting to going for kill to
one guy planting, one guy going for the kill later on. I mean look at the health bars
here. Nina is literally on 5 HP when they win the round. 1, 2, 3 saps, his missed
the fourth
that's so unfortunate man
one last little zap and that round would have been clutched up
and we would have praised the maestro and we would have said it's Kino doing it again
get it sir
get it sir
get it sir
get it
get it
get it
get it
get it
get it
get it
get it

get it
Usually it's a kaiyuu or kawa playing, but they haven't even touched it yet, it's two other players on the team that have been sledding it in.
Whenever you're playing the maestro, there's kind of two ways to play the operator primarily.
One is that you get three different evil eyes in three different locations to work as a camera.
Just wait and tell. The other answer is that you try and get all three evil eyes,
to try and overlap the areas that they can see so that you can sap from one cam, flip
to the other, and sap from that cam as well.
Target towards the same location.
What happened after that pretty short is that they did the first option.
They didn't have a second cam that could see behind the silver rag, so that's like
a bit of a dead spot.
And that means that as long as you can figure out where that dead spot will be as an
attacker, well, they can't see you and you can render the Maestro cameras ineffective.
This obviously only works if you can run around the bombsite for free, which will
happy moves kind of 2v2 to long scenarios. So a rare case where that sort of remaking
will be the case. Now though, Starsh is setting up, the region
hatches, they're tracking potential roamers. We all know though that every single defender
is going to be downstairs in the basement and they're setting up for a bunker of the
type set up here. Both the mid-jammers, the goya canisters, the evil eyes that we spoke
about everything and everyone with the one my max and Fenrya mines this will be
probably like a 5u5 in the last 30 seconds kind of round. The thing is what
they're missing is a zoning and Coyote and Bandit are both banned on out so
Skars actually have a lot of ability to hard breach open and expose a lot of the
setup from the defenders particularly I'm thinking about that church wall we
saw it from mid-jammer which can suddenly be excaros that's true but not that
tin can opener that wreck not the one left the pocket that is too they should
yeah I mean they should know about the mute but they literally see it so yeah
I would have liked to see a nice pic here from the scars and just I really
love reaching right there and they're not gonna have an easy time getting
drones because the evil eyes are constantly watching that church wall
gets breached open then these players inside are so exposed wow that's a long angle all the way from
blue stairs I get almost loses his life
just like the previous round fucking fell first he's alive but not really suited for a fight but
I couldn't beat him in blue though he doesn't have enough time on my base but there are none
and I'll just pull one intel c4 though confirms what shows injured in the kitchen floor
And now, we're in the final 20 seconds soon, with the evil eyes, the Glyophire, etc., Scars is time to push.
Yuka's got a big impact here, coming in from blue, sees one player, is the swing going to come on out, has to go straight through the treadmill, gets blinded and taken out,
fish likes the last one left, got Arata found a double, cleaned the mints amongst of it, and Kino, on that defense, that bunker, it is impregnable here from Scars.
Very, very good setup.
It's, again, just the bong down effect that you can do in a basic bomb side, but it doesn't
really work the same way on the other gym and CCTV.
However, there is one shot I've seen on the gym, which I think was actually Kinatrop
using it, where you reinforce the wall between the gym bomb side and the master bedroom
bomb side by the windows that connects the side of self.
Almost everyone put a rotate there, and Kinatrop had this shot where they came
my green force that they should play inside of Jim in a whole new way so I'm
kind of keep my school for it right now they're gonna up for that I went down
both the Yeager and Ramai as well so they really want to just make sure that
nobody dies to grenades I kept on fire also particularly most of you guys I
I suppose.
You can stop worrying about grenades.
The different fire.
Any of the walls, yeah.
I'm not single brother.
Share around.
Share around a lot.
Mysterious enforcing.
Mysterious enforcing.
I'll see it.
Is it gonna be in between the windows or no?
No, there's a lot to do.
So the one who survived.
They did the rounds.
Oh, there it goes. That's the setup.
This is the Kingdom Special.
Reinforce the window between the Master Bedroom window and the Gym window,
and they can boost themselves onto the Wind Pact instead of Gym,
and play talk next to the window.
Then they play sometimes, not this time,
a Castle Barricade on the floor near the Deguzzi breach,
and no one can kill the player,
unless you open the Pool Table hatch below.
Yeah.
Diego will either further fortify him as well.
Well, that's vulnerable to nades, of which Skar's bringing two sets.
Alright, let's offer a bit of a roam as well.
Nice, Nick.
There we go, it's gonna shoot down.
Nice. It should be very hard to kill Nina here, but most of his body will be protected by that shield.
That's some trigger discipline there.
I think Starz is treating very carefully, trying to pick apart the exact setup, while
it's going to be the path of least resistance.
To my surprise, we're not seeing operators like Rithach, like a brava, like a twitch.
So a lot of these things have in pockets of the, uh, habitat grenades.
They can be countered here.
Simdi-Bike got her right up in the acre, and Aged up in the Omae.
like Washway wants to go for that vert play. The three big booms, does he have info on Akai's
position? Huge big booms. How come the big booms, he uses all of them, doesn't find anything
except opening up the hatch. Wreck wants to get up close, but Dreadmine will slow him
down for a brief moment, he goes in for it anyway, he finds the kill onto the Fedrear.
for another one, out comes the pistol, claims the head of the clan! 4v3 now, as Ayageta
tries his best to keep it alive for Kino, but he's been traded back again. Now Wreck
is on flank watch duty, he will be taken out, and Yukis, dismantled on the bomb site
by Okayu, who refuses to let up. The maestro is still alive on that bomb site, and he's
got info on where Yukis is as well, he drops down below, knowing full well that
Even if a plant is attempted here by Yukis, it should be able to be denied here by the Maestro.
There are so many options here.
As for all the cameras, all of the evil eyes continue to ping him on out.
There are two separate evil eyes that can ping him out here, and nothing that can be done by Yukis to take them down.
Akai would play with him. Yukis has to take the fight against Gatorada, and he won't win it.
Keenotrope, despite that rush from Skars, maintain control and the maestro wins it for them.
Ridiculous, again, such a high impact operator that they're not bringing any real counters forward.
Like I said, no Twitch, no Brava, no Flores, like nothing.
Even though Sofia wasn't spent trying to deny those evil eyes because they were my disc,
and the idea is it's just purely done for verticality.
Skars have got to change their attack and approach right now because otherwise it's operated through the end of them.
I mean, they might even ban it, that would be the simplest solution, but...
Maistra Ban in 2026?
That would be crazy!
Baaah!
And they banned Private Respond, so in case they didn't go for the Maistra Ban,
they could play him for free the following rounds.
That is crazy, I love that.
It's gonna force the Taktam out here from Skars.
You know, I just won two rounds in a row.
Remember, Skars are still only two rounds from finishing off this game,
winning in regulation, but Kugatru...
With that past round just gone by they're starting to make a case for why this is going to be a very tough attack for Scots.
Let's see, I mean if you want to play that round back in your mind I think Wreck could have done a little bit more.
I know that's crazy, you got two kills in the entry, main stairs in office but when it came down to the two versus two
he took a long range engagement against the flanger of the ager on the main staircase and ends up getting pre-fired and dies.
You could use your damage tracker and the Maestro for example, hunt the guy by the side, then your teammate was the flank instead.
There was so much chaos in the server, Rekka's feeling it, he had that adrenaline pumped up, getting all those kills earlier.
Gatorade did a great job, you'll see him in the replay as well.
Oh, that's where Gatorade caught me up.
Oh, the third tunnel.
Oh, and the E-kill.
And then here if you reset and calm down a bit, instead of swinging right here, there's a 3D too, right?
That's the only area I'm thinking ah with the shock that you're taking a long-range fight not ideal
Know that in the 2v1 to drop off the site regroup with his teammate and then just use the master plans
Prevent that plant from going down there was nowhere in the bomb site at all
But could be planned without the same plan at least one of those either wise
Even a one deal that would be very hard to pass to win
So, the bar we go, Hengu, you asked for it?
We've seen a lot of clubhouse recently, our third club of the night, but for the first
time we're being taken to the Quaternary bomb site.
It's the fourth choice for most teams, in fact it's not even an option for most teams,
they never go to it.
No maestro this round, as it has been banned by SCARS, but you know what I say, that's
fine, we've got a few other tricks up our sleeve.
I figured they were a gopher bar if they had the maestro up and in the middle of the
wall because maestro doesn't get as much value on CCTV.
I didn't think they were gopher since the maestro done getting banned the way, but I
like it.
I hear them gopher curve balls, this is the only problem.
A mirror window on the external strip wall with no wall to now place there.
So a single Selma will fall back at Tyro and give scars that first move should
club completely for free.
because he can take this control as well as he likes quite easily.
Supported by Nina as well on the Monty.
The Solid Snake guarantees that there is nobody nearby.
Time for Skies to start peeling back the layers of this defensive setup.
Hard breaches are good stuff, but there's a lot more work to do than that.
Strip control.
There's no guarantee you won't march on the bombsite.
Pool is not actually part of the objective.
You can't plant next to the pool table like you used to be able to.
You have to go deeper into bar.
And Skars start to worry about the intel game of Elias being gone now with the Maestro
Benz so they can play a little bit slower in the early stage of this round because they
know timer will not be as much of a problem.
Combine that with the multi-planabilitiy, I mean you can literally stop planting the
moans against the building, only worry is gonna be that solace.
And I don't know how much their Skars are communicating about it, cause they
have almost no pressure up above.
If you plant in certain positions, all you would need actually is an attacker outside the master bedroom window to kind of just look towards the solace here, and they won't be able to go for a second hour of boot if you're speaking.
Ooh, a bit of vent is all the way down to the basement, you're gonna have to find a way to get back into it.
They are so far from the bomb site now, scars and all of that, they could definitely go for a hit.
A lot of gaps though.
Three players in the basement and two on the top floor. Nobody, the Kina Trope, is actually on the ground floor itself.
Ukis has to go for a lurk up above to prevent that plant from going down.
Nitro Cell from Iogator. Ukis finished off. That was meant to be the operator that would deal with that late round roam.
In Scarra's door, what's happening? It's an unusual spot to be in for them.
You denounce at the bomb site, and you find that perfect landspot.
It's like he's a hell of a lot of damage.
His job here is to try and prevent the retake from lounge as Nina starts to force that plant
down.
Kar-Wa-Wa runs out from stock and takes down a player in the kitchen hallway, now into
the post plant but it's a 2v4 and Nina is being harassed by multiple players.
Kar-Wa-Wa almost finishes him off while showing he needs to find this kill.
If he dies here it should be round done.
The scars.
Nina doing his best.
he finds a kill with that pistol onto a clar.
Oh, what an angle from underneath the rack!
That is dirty from Kar-Wout.
One HP on Nina and Akayu is gonna stick this defuse.
It's a successful bar defense from KineTrope
and they have made this a real game.
It's five, five.
They've brought it back and put scars
under so much pressure to retaliate.
What a way to do it as well.
First the operators being very specialized, now the bomb site being specialized.
The only worry now that I get for Keenan Trobe is that the maestro spent the way and bar bomb site is now locked.
They can go to basement first, maybe get their 6th round, maybe at least guarantee OTL a point on the board for what happens after.
That's what I'm worried about for them.
I don't know how much people this strat put in gold because they're pulling out all the stoppers right now.
Nina doing such a good job here, staying alive, getting a kill.
Or should I have to go hunting his one as well neither of them into finding enough and therefore they go for a defuse
While they simply distract the last player there as the Monty
No basement
They have very usual lineup. This should be a much easier round for scars the problem solved and
Throwing the best shot of around it had no while because they've been struggling against these tricks from KineTrope
Oh the scars are certainly wouldn't want to be attacking the face against Kino Trope.
Master or no maestro, Kino have really found that momentum.
The thing that this was 0-4, Kino have won five of the last six rounds, Pengu.
Scars have had a long time since they've really felt in control of this game.
It's kind of the opposite of what happened the other day.
Kino trope had such an advantage over fear X in their previous matchup and then being K fear X came back and beat
Kino at the end of it now. We're seeing a bit of a role reversal
I mean some dummies
I mean I could see like rainbows match you got like gummy worms hanging around
Also like maybe you know in there first came out
I thought it was like an out-borsi map and it kind of is but kind of isn't I wouldn't mind trying like an open
Skybox open siege map for the issues is not gonna be like a real cup of a cavity then
How did that go yeah, have you heard of emerald planes?
How did that go
Maybe I don't move maybe it's like you do, but you don't you know the hard ones with the hard ones with the brain knows
I want a map with which has like these like rafters around the edges of the entire map
And it's like setting like a tower and you can kind of like sit up on the rafters
You did not have to say it's how I had that one figured out very quickly because oh my
They didn't have it without like in the cashew. It hasn't changed a bit
Visually one of my favorite maps, but gameplay wise not so
Clothouse on the other hand it plays like a treat especially if you're keen on trope and he's lost five out of the last six rounds
Just sitting back and waiting scars are the ones that have to do the dirty work here
And a big part of that will be peeling back the layers all the setup. I mean you've got malusia banches
You've got Volcan canisters from Goyo. You've got the dreadmines from Fenrir
That's so much util really overloading the twitch as here comes the util the Monty drops down into the objective
supported by the screams from the sends. One C4 comes out that does destroy some
of the projector walls but it still hasn't allowed for a plant to go down.
The clan gets up close in person with the Monty but Washoi punishes him from up
above. A second attempt to look for a plant with 25 seconds. All the Yukis, the
bottom of the main stairs will fall. That's the linchpin to this scars
attack and it leaves Vishlak once again exposed putting the pressure on
wash away up a bug again and this time he won't find the kills. Instead he's the last one standing,
the pistol comes out for one but Kaeyu and Kar-Well cannot be found. Kaeyu's lying in
weights, KineTrope match points, four rounds in a row. They're giving scars a run for their money.
Scars are just in there with the Monty but they don't want the Monty to be the planter.
They want the second attacker to walk behind the Monty, he protects them and they try and
and get down the diffuser. So what's the response from KinoTrope? They run at the
Monty. While there's a guy on the hatch, a guy on the bird, a guy bottom main
staircase and they bring the fight to the attackers. And it's such an unusual
switcher, right? The last four rounds of which KinoTrope have won, it's been
structured, strategic, slow-paced, utility info. And then now it is fight,
fight, fight, fight. It is that new way of playing where they mix
experience of air gator and got a rod up the frack rich and a former cg boys
together with a player kai on kawa they're more strategical players you're
switching from very slow to very fast and it's actually catching scars by
surprise because they have put that to this on the fly in the server they're
just not ready for it
one more round just one more and the thing that we're here after such a
a rough start for Kinetrope where it looked like their attacks had nothing to
back it up. In the first three rounds, well Kinetrope got four kills in the first round
they were clutched by fish like and then two rounds in a row they didn't get a single
kill. Third round in a row they only get one kill. The first four rounds they only find
five kills in four bloody rounds and most of them were in the very first one. Since
then Kinetrope have really stepped it up massively with the master without the
Now they're going for a very unusual hold here. Mirror window with a breach.
I want to take a gunfight here. I want to play Pyper Agro on this jacuzzi wall.
This is disgusting.
Wow, my gun is clashing. It almost works out. Seize the head.
I'm supposed to get the kill, though.
Why should I have to destroy this?
yep that's the first step gotta clear that mirror window I was gonna say what I
love to see a clash here for the potential final round for a guinichop
they're getting a little spanner in the works there for scars and slowing them
down that's right I think by now that's been the only weakness yes they
have to be losing the fin rare and that will give you a warning when you
jump in the window walk up the staircase but it doesn't stop them
from just saying three to one let's go for a fast attack guinichop guns up
Gotta be at the ready
Comes Selma that caught by it. Oh, that was caught by a magnet
That's so cheeky out comes another Selma. This one should destroy that mirror window, but
Destroy one mirror guess what they've got another one watching for it and another
Magnet protecting that one as well
This one is getting massive value here. Two magnets as well, protecting i-gator inside gym.
Here comes the Skyroids though. If you're inside a gym, you guys shoot those pellets off the wall, but they're worried about the window swings.
They just ring the mirror window. It will fall in 60 seconds to go.
The star is peeling back the layers right now.
United to use it. United bottom. Here comes the camps of fire.
And now there are a lot of players, places to play here for Keenatrope on the defensive side
but scars have yet to make a first entry and there's still a player inside for Keenatrope
in that corner of the gym Akayu, who's been boosted on the weights and he's hiding in the corner this
whole time. A refrag comes to eventually Keenatrope just holding on to the best of their ability
but now scars have the bombsite ripped away from their hands. Keenatrope have to figure out
how to go for a retake. The scars start forcing down that plant. It's wrecked to do the job.
Impact comes out, there's a bit of damage coverage here from Washoi, but he himself is low on HP.
From outside Fishlight can cover this. He's got info as well from that trying to claim
knees to win this gunfight. The timing could not be worse for Fishlight. And now this retake
is well and truly on Fikino.
All inside, one bathroom, one gym, suffering from a red ping, but you could be those too.
Oh, but he can't quite get it! So close, but not close enough!
Fikino trope's scars dig deep, it's overtime on the docket.
As the game deserves a very tied up series right now,
where one team is putting out all the secret solos, the crazy stress,
the other one trying to adapt and fix it in the server.
Having scars, they finally did the thing where 3-1, let's just storm the bombsites, take the fight to them, we can overwhelm them.
Ginnertrope are too many people roaming off the side, no way to plan denial, no C4s and not a ton of intel left remaining for them either.
Thing is, no T.
Ok, so first of all, Ginnertrope will call attack Tynaut, so both teams can talk now for 45 seconds, we're going to support staff.
Secondly, in a choke, all the bombsites and deviants will unlock.
This could be a bar, this could be a base pitch, this could be a CCTV.
I truly have no idea where they're gonna be going, but I am no kid expecting the clash to get into the mix.
I haven't played that clash a single round, they've been really getting into the maestro and then the mirror after the maestro got banned.
It's all commensurate chance to say what he thinks to the rest of the team.
You're right. Kino successfully defended the basement twice. They successfully defended
Jim in bedroom once. And of course Bar. Cash CCTV they lost the only time they played
it and after that lost just now on Jim bedroom maybe they would rather not go back to that.
You think they'll go down to the basement here for this first round. Indeed they will.
But if this comes to around 15, the question is,
maybe do they go back to CC or Jim,
both of which they've now lost, or do they go to bar again?
Also no flash, no trickery operators right now
for KineTro, but it's much more of the usual basement setup.
I don't think they need trickery on this one.
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
I feel like they need something.
I mean, if stars don't lose their body early
and get to the side, I mean, maybe they're just
gonna be roaming, that could be the difference maker
right now but the players see the wets it doesn't seem that there's a huge
presence on it just getting the hatches we're gonna fall back to the side I mean
if they're not gonna do anything differently and fall back and play five
guys in the basement and it's them saying hey scars we think you are so
bad at executing a five-year-five despite having the Monty we'll let you
do it again because Lucas gots lineup it's exactly all this what happened
last time it's the Monty and the sins working together to establish a
planned within how we supported my information, Lionegren. So this is key
control, maybe not respecting stars enough.
It has to be same. I think my question is still the scars at how you know get rid
of all these bits of you till it's traps galore, right, and protection from a lot
of projectiles as well with the Wamai, but you really ideally the scars need
need to be clearing out all those multiple questions.
All those policy banshees and all the dreadmines from Fenrir before you go for the execute.
Hi.
This is a little bit of casual flaw banging in the monty.
It's a little bit of a timer.
Normally we say 1 minute 30 and you stop reaching yourself is like a very good pace.
They're just stocking this with two minutes left in the server, as except what I'm
worried about.
No roaming precedence, but Kirin's Shove already haven't shown this chapter before.
Scars won't have to adapt on the fly, they've seen this setup, and you know what the answer is gonna be.
It will just come down to precise execution, whether they're gonna go for a motorist kill,
move, kitchen drop, or for a church triple wall.
All are good options.
The concern is the magnets are gonna protect a lot of this U2.
Here comes another magnet from Gatorada.
These bachies from Alucie would be hard to take down, but Akai has been eliminated early, aggressive, underneath Kitchen in Arsenal.
He's taken down. That's a big kill. Start things off. The Scars. Now they're fighting from a serious advantage.
It takes a few seconds right now and make it perfect. You see a player in the blue and two players in the church.
I mean, this could very well just be down the kitchen hatch with the Monty. Not much can stop him.
Dreadmines though will certainly make it hard for Wreck, doesn't know where it is, finally takes it down.
Could win that fight, could flick over the head, but the Hiagata goes down.
Wreck's in the fight position, goes straight through the fire, spots out the Malusi, goodbye, good night!
KineTrope, you fought so hard here to fall in overtime.
Could have happened two matches in a row, KineTrope were winning this game outright.
They lost it just a few days ago to Ferex, they were reverse swept.
Now it seems to be the same story.
Skars forced that plant down.
Now in the post they've got the Monty up
and there's nothing for Kino to do.
Nina catches a Clare and Kaawao
while we find one surely will not be
able to make this happen.
1v3, the Monty staring him down
and narrow angle on the hatch held
by the DMR from Washoi
who's popped the hell off today. 13 kills
looking for lucky number 14
and Kaawao's being toyed with
fish like does not let that one
slip through his fingers. Scars match point now of their own. Oh it's so close yet so far there
for Kymnitra. Right they get all the way to OOT only to fall at the final area in the series.
Final boss it's gonna be those last best of three in rounds and now because we lost our first
defense they have to win the upcoming attack. Cast your mind back to the beginning of the
series. Kymnitra's attacks it was not their strong suit. Scars have done the digital
task. They adapt it, they counter it, they won that first attack around themselves and look at how
they did it. Moa less than a flawless manner. You push through the fire, you get the plant down,
the coverage is much much better and they found the opening pick.
And now Skars are on defense as well Pengu. It's a very scary day to be watching Fikina
Kynetrope had such a good lead, I mean yeah they were down 0-4 at the start but the comeback
was massive, 5 out of the next 6 rounds in a row to find match point and then scars make
a comeback happen, push it into OT.
Then Kynetrope, back on the defense where they should be favoured, it all starts to
slip away from them.
Now they have to revisit their attacks which were very rough, right, they lost
four of these in a row, and the eventual rounds that they won on the attacking side
penguin, not a single one of them was onto this basement bomb site. It's been a very
defender-sided bomb site here, as the stats do say. I mean, the opening kill helps out a lot, but
I think KineTrip need a lot more than just a free pick in order to win this round.
They got the fuse, and they key. That bled's with a shield.
Yeah, actually I have pretty good operators to afford this attack but the thing is scars don't play the same play style as setup in the troop.
It likes to get a bit more active.
And Rick, who's on top floor, now talking about his third base.
You have Nina on the main stairs too, he's doing the third and fifth.
A lot of damage.
Oh my, that keeps hitting my bodies.
What's going on, Rick?
Both of them push.
I mean that's so worthwhile here for Kino's scars.
Tried to get aggressive the time to take down that blitz.
The problem is, Blitz has lost a lot of HP for it.
It's gonna be so vulnerable for the rest of this round.
Thing is, so there's no C4, no impact grenades, and the likeness of hitting a Gennari laser as it blitzes very low.
So it's actually not a bad drone to have low, or bad round rather to have low health in.
Scars didn't want a little bit more.
These guys have fallen back. They, uh, know you're playing 3 vs 4, but you still have to talk to babes and fish like.
like and you are bringing down a good bit of time here with that early
presence I mean one minute full you're sacked against and Kino
Trove only just now starting to building and starting to be
jumping the hatches so they are right on track not too fast not too
slow. Here comes the fuse as well to clear out a
lot of utile on the side Kino we'll be able to probably take down all of
those denari lasers with this gadget as well.
Oh actually yeah I think that will do the trick I mean the denari laser
did actually catch the fuse charge but at least one of the pucks did manage to
explode I believe that we should find out no raises crossing that hatch
we'll find out later on as opposed to another time certainly that interaction
as you said where the puck landed blue mirror was dis-attacked skyro's the
night here from the rotation into blue is mirror windows 50 seconds
intro again it's kind of hard cuz like I can dip and try and go for a push with
the blitz and like I said he's 1 hp he always steps by a single centimeter he'll
get injured and now that mirror window at the bottom of main stairs dismantled
by the Hibana Eclare do diligence from him to make sure that intro and not
walking into a fortified setup from scars this execute is everything
with Yuki's falling. Nina needs to trade. He will do so against Ayagata.
Blandi's to come through soon, but Akayu is still low on HP.
We need KineTrek to force this down. Nina forcing his way through the smoke.
Knows where one of these players is. He's going to focus up and take the 1v1 against Declare.
Now Akayu's exposed. Inside the bomb site still survives 1 HP.
Eventually will surely go down. He's the last one left and he's on the floor!
Nina and Fishlike make the retake a miracle for Scars and with that it doesn't matter.
Kynotrope can fight as hard as they will but Scars have swept them back again.
It's an 8-6 victory for Scars and own sweet revenge against Kynotrope for what happened
in Stage 1.
The heartbreak, the absolute heartbreak for Kynotrope.
expression and final round they conquer a good attack the bomb goes down man
advantage he's working out well but guess what scars had a perfect read the
yellow ping by the motor board crowd swinging it beneath the scope of the
banner to get the kill and a toxic babe lock in the bridge by the breach so
welcome to get there great synergy and well for victory for scars it's
cast season baby man they are looking so much better than what we saw from them
in Stage 1, so much better than what we saw from the kickoff and Kino's credit.
They played some really good seeds today, with the Scars for the first time in a year,
Pengu, have finally toppled Kino Trope. Kino had their number the last five times these
teams met Kino Trope, got the better of Scars. But finally, Scars have their revenge.
And to go up 4-0 at the start and then be facing a match point at 5-6 in deficit,
It took some serious grit to make that comeback happen.
Akayu being low on HP at the end of that round,
meaning that it was just far too much for Kino
to clutch up a big game.
But finally, a match that delivered Pengu.
We've had so many 7-0s, 7-1s, 7-2s,
but scars on KinoTrope really delivered on the good side.
Hence the good old tail-off.
There are two halves to a game of every six seats, right?
KinoTrope on the attack,
wasn't really as good as scars were necessarily.
You don't have to defense and they bring all the juicy stuff and they bring it back into their favor.
But then the problem is, if you do end up going to overtime, you need to start playing well on both sides of the coin.
Or get lucky with the starting side and just crutch that.
So I really feel like for KineTrip in this one, had they had just a little bit better attacks, it wouldn't even go to a tee, but you can't be perfect.
Scarf showed that, KineTrip showed that, but they both fought to the very end.
So I'm in the Kino defense is like I don't want to focus too much on them because you're right
It was really the attacking half where they lost this and the fact that they couldn't finish it off at the end
So many of his attack rounds got so close on both sides. Yeah at the end of it
I've scars come ahead. It's such an exciting time for this roster. We have scars coach on the line
It's Leo if we can get him in for the interview Leo
Congratulations. This was a huge game
game. Every time you guys have
played KineTrope in the last
year, they've beaten you. What
were you thinking coming into
this match knowing that every
time you meet this squad,
KineTrope seemed to have your
number.
Um, today we focused on the,
um, we play like usual to
play usual. Um, but before
game, um, uh, KineTrope,
don't prefer the style so the negative image as their style so at the first attack
and first attack for four land is not good as usual but the last two lands we
can't play as usual so it's the really good point I think so
So today, it started off on the attacking side kind of hard.
It looked like from us that the Maestro was a huge problem.
You guys did not play Twitch, no Thatcher, no Flores.
You just played three rounds and you banned the Maestro away.
Did the Maestro pick surprise you guys in the server?
Were you not prepared for it?
We prefer prepared the Maestro.
The image is the difference, so we point outside, so it's true, you said it's the true thing.
Yeah, I understand. It's one thing to know Maestro is the problem, it's another thing
to actually be able to do what you're thinking in the server.
Congratulations on this win, Leo. I'd like to give you the chance to talk to your fans.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who have been watching SCARS for the past year
and know how much the SCARS KINATROPE rivalry has been a struggle for you guys.
So finally, to get that win, I'm sure it feels great.
It's your chance now to talk to the fans. You can do it in English.
You can do it in Japanese if you like. Please take it away.
In Japanese? Okay.
Yeah, of course.
Thank you so much for your support.
We had a lot of things that we couldn't do as usual,
and we were able to win today.
We didn't do well in the first half,
but we were able to do well in the second half.
It's thanks to the fans who wish for us to win.
We are aiming for the first place in the future,
so please support us.
Thank you.
Thank you Leo. Good luck in your game tomorrow against Trippie. Thank you.
Big game, big day for the guys. Yeah, huge moment for them. Really a great start to the stage.
7-1 in their first match and then an overtime victory against Kinnotrape in the second.
Honestly the flip side of that, Koinpengu, is that Kinnotrape have now had two 6-8 losses in a
Road is it's a very hard way to start it especially against fear X and scars not
even against D plus and cag who are the real scary contenders
kina trope now find themselves in a position where they're gonna have to
be you know so they're gonna have to be cag or D plus or hope that scars and
fear X have a real rough season otherwise kina trope aren't actually gonna
make it to the top four years in top five at the moment with no wins and
And look, even if they beat CYBME, WRX, Trippy, as long as Vrex and Skars just don't fumble any of the easy games to those bottom three teams, then Kynatar won't make playoffs.
It's a scary position to be in right now, but I mean at least there's a point that they're getting into deep territory for Kynatar.
They can't compete, but right now they're just not the bigger team.
like they're in a process of figuring out their new identity, must have been
attacking a little bit different than usual and we've seen a lot of great
players today, a lot of great teams, but there was one player who was better than the
rest of them. We have today's MVP, which is, there it is, Uri, the newest
member of the applause. We saw him play Monty, I'm thinking he's going to be
planting, droning, spotting. This guy was storming the building with Monty,
ADS-ing and just taking down fights every single round. They're
of the five individual pistol kills.
This right here, that was the first one.
Yeah, he probably should have died in that one as well.
He was a huge player, and of course,
then looking on the block to keep plus care.
Every single battle here, every single highlight
is just him ADSing with Bixie, bro.
I literally, every single kill.
It's amazing.
I love to see it.
D plus, of course, a lot of questions
over their shoulders after losing Luzi and Niers
with those roster changes.
But to their credit, they're looking like a really solid team at the moment and stakes are high right now.
We've got the Osaka Major. It's the most local event to this APAC North region that we have ever had before.
But of course, that is it for D-Post. I mean, credit to them. They played so well today.
A great day of Siege overall, I feel. Particularly that KinoTrek named SCARS, really delivered for me.
There's more siege teams, isn't there?
I feel like there's other regions that just APL right?
Is it EML? Is it SNAIL? Is it NAIL?
Oh that's right, NAIL is up next in only a couple of hours.
Four hours and 40 minutes from now.
You can watch siege again.
You can nap, get some food, get some drinks, and be back in a couple of hours.
You won't see us there. You'll see our colleagues.
Yeah, I mean NAIL has been popping so far as well.
We've seen those highlights, iconic man.
Back to back watches.
Back to back clutch is super weak. Also. Yeah, great week for NAL great week for stage two in general
It's starting to heat up here. Of course that finishes our broadcast fort tonight here in a pack north
But a pack north is back tomorrow night. Thank you. You'll be on the show. I won't be I'll be celebrating my sister's birthday
But I'll be watching the whole time. I'm not gonna have any fun. I promise. I may be watching this purely family obligations
That's going to be watching like, oh my god, Kena Troop, are they going to get their first win of the stage?
That's it though for tonight, but the battle continues tomorrow with A-Pack North.
Thanks for watching today and we'll see, why not?
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
Let's go
I'll let you go this night even if it's just a little bit.
