The mountain that we swore we would climb is ever-close.
The mountain that we swore we would climb is ever-close.
and that we swore. We would
climb is ever closer. But
first there's a little pit stop
down in Melbourne, Australia
for these oceanic teams here in
the APL. That's right. We're
just on the verge of stage
finals here in a pack and for
the oceanic teams. That means
to qualify for the Osaka Major and we're down to the final day of Groups Panger which means
that perhaps it's just a couple of weeks away and in the next few hours we're going to know
exactly who is and isn't going to make it.
And it's so much more exciting because sometimes we find ourselves in the final playday with
everything locked in and everyone's guaranteed a lockdown of qualification, not the case
today, Dumes.
It's very much in the open, only one team guaranteed locked in and about four
teams locked out.
potential here for opposite and chaos and classic. Yeah, very much so. And that's the thing on paper.
It kind of looks like the top three are very much locked in. You can see enterprise all the way at
the top one 14 points. Now they are the only team who's guaranteed to make it to packs at this
point. Despite Chiefs and seven, I think probably believing that they might be locked in
already 13 points looks like enough. But technically, if everything pans out against them,
There's a chance that circular spheres could kick one of those teams out.
It all depends on a per match basis, so we'll keep you running on the course of the day,
how the standings are updating for each team.
But it is the dawn of the final day for OCE.
And yeah, well, it's been a crazy stage so far.
Six playdays of crazy action in a highly competitive region.
I think a region that we didn't expect to be quite as close as it was in stage two.
course, we saw two Oceania teams go to the eSports World Cup as
Enterprise and Chiefs and coming back from EWC only having a
single spot to the Osaka major, but having that added booster
of the LAN qualifier because of Pax Melbourne happening in just
a few weeks. It just lined up perfectly to have our stage
finals held in a live LAN environment. It means that there's
not only a chance of the Saka riding on this, but for a lot
these players going to PAX for a LAN might be the peak of their career as a
home. Well it's a very big deal indeed. I mean maybe look at organizations like
your Chiefs, like your EP that are going internationally, going to PAX for a single
time as they can essentially, not as big of a moment for them of course, but for
every other player a LAN event, that is the place that you want to be, whether
it's domestic or international play. And honestly the second playday with
Circular Spheres upsetting EP that's 7-2 victory over them, I was thinking
Is this gonna be the wildest O-State so far?
I don't know, E-Pieces at the moment, they just started doing really well, they kept taking names when they decided, very decisive matches.
So, they are locked in, they're doing really well for themselves, and here is the schedule for the day.
As I said, pretty much every single game matters in one way or another. If it doesn't impact the direct teams,
both of them in the match itself, that result will impact future or past games.
So we gotta really just watch out here every single game or determine something else. That's exactly right
I mean even games where one team can play spoils for example shy Academy can give man
Ella follow a bit of a headache the game of the day has got to be our second match those seven versus
Circular spheres seven have been on an absolute tear. This has been their stage for sure
They're currently sitting in second place on the standings
But there's a very much still a chance that they can fail to make it
They will have to really drop the ball today and circular spheres who are currently on the outside looking in in fifth place
Remember only top four go to stage finals at PAX now CS can play spoils today
Of course throughout the rest of the day
There's still a chance for chiefs to make it but their fate will probably already be decided to come that fourth game
Which means it really comes down to our first two matches today. We should know
What teams will be going to PAX at the end of them?
So let's start breaking down Chikademeat versus man Ella foe
That's one team that is on the outside and one team who is very much within touching distance of packs
That's man LFO. They can guarantee packs today if they make it
Today if they can make this game work out in a regulation win
Now there are still a couple ways that they can make it to packs with an overtime win
But really you don't be taking any chances. They can guarantee it
The fate is in their hands today with this matchup
Now just simplify right regulation victory and move on if we got into the
very time details of OT and regulation match of everything else again it gets a
bit messy for the players not every team goes into a play they like today but
all the math worked out you just simplify you guys if you win or going if
we lose we might not that's it don't worry about this seven four seven five
there's gonna be an eight six and eight seven right just focus on the result
of winning or losing because as a player you don't want to be distracted, you don't want
to take anything away from the prep work and looking at what you can do today up against
your opponent and like you said your opponent can play spirals because man on the phone
they are fighting for land, shackademy, they are locked completely out, they can do the
crazy stuff on the server, they have nothing to lose and if you start playing without
that kind of fear and you start throwing curveball after a curveball they can surely
had enemies by surprise at Manila foe and just maybe
play spoiler. Yeah, I mean that's a big chance.
Should I kind of know what it's like to play spoilers?
They did so in stage one with a couple of big upset wins.
But of course Manila foe are going to do everything they can
to make it to playoffs. We've seen a lot of these players
stage after stage come back hoping for more expecting more
in stage one. They managed to get top three in the group
stage. They went to stage finals and they had a very
route of awakening against Enterprise at the start of it. But of course they're going up against
Shy Academy who as I said played spoils in stage one against both EP and the Chiefs. But coming
into stage two have unfortunately not been able to deliver the same expectations. They only have
two wins so far, one in regulation, one in overtime, four regulation losses to the name,
which sits them all the way down in seventh place on the standings.
Yeah, they're 8-7 against Daniels, and I mean, it's just been a bit of lack of consistency really.
I'm looking at the maps I've been playing right now. They're kind of all over the place actually,
bank, lair, night haven. They haven't found that like one spot in the game where they really have
been thriving. That's what made this such a difficult moment for them to stage.
Yeah, and they're also playing with a substitute today. Keep in mind,
Chikademy actually don't have the ability to make it to the playoffs. They are right down at the bottom of the standings
But shunt is coming in to substitute out for Rani
So Chikademy are not playing with their complete core roster
Which is kind of a gift to man ill of foe because as we've said man ill of foe really need this regulation win to guarantee
Hacks, so if there's any way that
Sean can cause a little bit of a curveball for Chikademy then that would be nice for them
But it's one of those unfortunate games
Thank you where the stakes are really high for one team and actually quite low for the other team
However, we've seen before the way that that is actually the best setup for teams to play spoils, right?
Chocatomy playing with absolutely nothing to lose
They're playing probably a little bit less structured because they have their coach in instead of their
Fifth player and so who knows I think the sky's the limit
I wouldn't put a pass Chocatomy to cause a little bit of trouble here for another fight
So then of course, me is what Matt will work in.
I'm sure of everything.
Oh, I do love to see it.
The shot is showing up for the boys.
And I mentioned to you, I can't believe you're playing so many different maps here in the second stage.
So I'm really curious what they think is going to be the best playing ground.
Like I mentioned, Bang, Villa, Fortress, Night Heaven, and everything all over the place.
And when you get a stop in as well, it brings even more chaos to the system that you have usually.
Yeah, Matt only thought of it as well though.
They played 5 different maps so far across their 6 games. Same story for Shycademy, so
there's a pretty high chance we'll go somewhere where both these teams have played. However,
you mentioned Bank, Shycademy have played it twice, but Manila foe are yet to show
it here in Stage 2.
So Lysie, you're sitting on this map the entire time for the matters, the absolute
most. You seem where your opponent can do. You've been having your own strats. This
This could be Manila for playing the long game at a paying off to go to PAX.
Yeah, it's a big chance here for Manila for to do what they have been trying to do for
such a long time.
A lot of these players have been grinding in the scene for ages, Sali the coach, Hunter.
It's been a roster that has for a long time had expectations that have gained and
momentum stage upon stage and yet they have failed to really make a splash living in
the shadow of teams like Enterprise, Chiefs and now even Seven. So this is their moment
to try and make a splash, make a difference, make it to LAN and keep on fighting. A regulation
win guarantees packs for them. An 8-6 win, they have to really hope that CS don't, it
gets complicated. We'll get into that once we get into the game. But for now, what
What matters most is Man-Elepho. Guarantee that they make it to LAN at Pax in Melbourne
with a regulation when Chikademy looked to play spoils and they've got players like
Kakin who have been kicking around for such a long time. You just can't get rid of them.
Chikademy, they came to make a real headache here for Man-Elepho as we get into battle.
Oh, exciting. Good old stable map as well. Known new shenanigans. All the very
well-known territory and this could become that Hibana and Ace been potentially coming out from the
defense of Chikademy. What that would give them is that top four Bumps becomes a lot stronger and
easier to play as a defender however they will pivot at the very final moment there Hibana and
the Monty still a lot of hard destruction also really targeting the hatch breaching capability
of the attacker lineup the Ace not a strong forward but of course Thermite has gotten a third
exothermia charge so quite successful for breaking open the hatches and you got a
lot of strong operators that have the secondary hot breach while still having a
very strong primary gadget. For example, Amos Sophia Grimm, that right there is six
keys of hot destruction if you're up for it of course while having some of the
strongest gadgets in the game as well as some of it. So, a lot of potential there
and flexibility to the attack. Checked enemy to start on defense, gonna go
basement first makes sense, heavy on the plant denial, the shangya smoke echo and the goyo.
It does mean however that the roaming presence upstairs in like open area and kitchen and
cafeteria, it can be quite hard to stick around. Yes, you could use the echo drones early for
good of information, but if they want to have any roaming presence I really do imagine that
they're falling back as early as humanly possible because they don't have that many tools
to support Kai was probably going to be that one in person.
moment when the pressure is up, who knows what will happen. Pluto goes down first,
caught off guard, 30 seconds into the round a fast push from Manila Foe on the
back of the lion scan. Sharky takes damage and decides to get out. This has been a
pretty devastating start here for Manila Foe. It is but also I mean we look at
the defending lineup right now. I mean this should be prime moment to go for
the rune clear and not go for their server attack. They want to stay strong
for the bombs in here defense you're not matched them that right there that's what I'm talking about
a hundred ticks of five two kind open area they get that bit of map control they're not done
they miss this flank potential and I'm gonna look again and breathe a lot of size of relief
there's gotta hold on watch their angles to start breaking over the hatch here it's sort of a bit
of dominance but this oh so I say it gets worse because kicking goes wrong that's when your
beard is better finds true kills the academy they start feeding bodies inside a garage yeah
That's really desperate there from Chacademy despite it being the nook
Chacademy should have pushed deep and
Beers has found three from that position in garage
Sean has to try and retake all the way from off the bomb site
He's actually found one and a half kills to try and get the confirmation on the hunter
The coach looks to try and save the day subbing in for the squad
Beers has had a phenomenal start three kills looking for number four
Impact skin pocket for Sean he finds another one. It's up to beers now
He's found three kills already. Sean wants to clutch up. He's on the verge of it. He is up close and personal, finds the 4k.
Nice effort from the coach, but Sean cannot get the clutch.
So close man. They're that yellow ping as well for a short second, but it's up against the nook.
So any gatter tree that can give you info with the camera is not going to be as successful.
That was actually, there is a surprisingly aggressive round there from Chocademy. Looking at the operator lineup,
I'm thinking plant denial play safe by the bomb side, but they really wanted that Garrett's kill
And I don't blame them because that is a soul attacker from beers. That was just playing a nuke DMR
But they kind of swung one by one by one all four into individual 50 50
Had they done like a three to one countdown? They all swing together
But are they get that kill maybe only losing one at worst two defenders and then the routers a lot more playable
Also, we didn't really see is that beers was affected by the yokai
the stun effect essentially so it did have a slight advantage in the gunfight
but still we're to lose. There's only a tiny angle with that DMR. Just like Sean,
the TCSG agro scope, finding a lot of big picks in this round but sadly not the
final kill on Tobias.
Thanks one of those maps where I can just go let one player in everything can fall apart
unfortunately the way that Shackadami tried to lash out to refrag on Tobias
from garage who just joined it and that DMR I mean I don't know if that happens
with the FMG is it the DMR dip there I feel like yeah look at him DMR was built
for bank garage which is really good in close quarters but that DMR is perfect
for those angles in garage it is a bit of a funny one right because nook is all
about getting in there like finding the gap hiding from the cameras approaching
the building. The DMR is everything else except for banging garage because that is
a very long distance angle and you can hide from all the cameras. It's the one
place that makes so much sense logically. In other areas it feels a bit funky at
times. It's time to have your hunters turn on the operator also bring out the
nuke DMR. It's in the electrical room right now sitting still waiting to
approach. It's Pluto up the square stairs looking to get a bit of map control
first, bring in double heart breach here on the top floor attack, very unusual. Ace can breach both the
elevator wall from a range destruction perspective, except if it's a benefit battery from cake and
waiting for him. Elements can help the waltz eat into a CEO for a big open entry, trade back and
forth on three steam, so back to even numbers as we just started from from a 5v5 to a 4v4,
this is a mental flow making good progress. The thing I like about the double heart breach here
is because you have some redundancy then Pluto can play a little bit more aggressively on the ace
which we've seen from him already in the building right at the start of the round trying to cut
off rotations down in archives already at top square it doesn't matter if he dies because you
have elements for hard breach backup also because you've got the ace you've got the
flexibility to breach open the stock walls or the canter walls if you decide to do so
there comes some smokes into the bottom site a reply from wizard with the gas
And as Sharky's looking for the plant takes a lot of damage though to that gas so he will be forced on back
He keeps on taking damage eventually gets down, but not finished off
Cake in pre-fied through that smoke is finally the blitz finished off on the floor by wizard
Yeah, wow, that's an unfortunate way for things to turn here for Manila foe
It felt like they had everything going for them, but they over committed to that plant and they've lost everything
I didn't have that many ways of going for extra revive, like imagine you're getting in the
mix here, Capitao, Grim, Nomap, and it says to come in and look, Hunter.
I mean, you spend these frag grenades, they're brought from his pocket, but value-wise, not
really found much in this round so far, KK's slowly bleeding out right now, can
not pick up a revive, but it might not matter, because the thing is, I can't get there,
swinging back.
They're locking down the hallways.
It's like that few months ago though, they did actually manage to revive KK
as well.
And there's a clash.
The clash can be watching him.
Another Evo Barrier goes out, but Sean can just continue falling back.
Kakin's got the crossfire. Nice first defensive round on the board there for Chacademy, looking pretty happy.
Particularly with the clash and the smoke combo denying that plant.
Now if we're at a really good start to the round, it's a shame that they let it all go when that plant failed.
That Blitz could not get out of the smoke to save his life.
You want to get a little bit more utility there on the attack and side, getting on to those meta operators.
If you want to play for kills and gapfinding, get on the solid snake and as I say it, Element fixed it.
The exact same moment. Like Nuka is great and all against the cameras, but what about just...
What if you have the answer? What if you get the better weapon? What if you can become the playmaker?
I have a lot more knowledge on your side.
I guess a map where you tend to see a lot of different sides of it, right?
Downstairs, upstairs, external window rappels, bombsite rushes, going for plants and plant denial.
It's very much, yeah, you gotta be able to do a bit of everything on this map.
So we see Menlifo, they, the sneaky characters.
I wanna see them play the destructive characters, the ones that bring the chaos in the server.
Like I said the glass the ying the shields
And then get the intel to make the right decisions to go for executes
So do you think that when you're against your academy?
Playing with a sappy and shop for the great first round getting three kills and all
You can probably force down a couple more plants than you usually would be able to and try Academy
They're gonna be swinging you so you want to have good guns just ready for those fights
Yeah, I think a great way to play against the team
it's really chaotic is make them overthink make them over swing and they get that numbers advantage
and then you can go for something chaotic like you're getting execute shield execute
but try not to overthink trying to overcook things because your academy will probably be
trying to think simple as much as possible yeah green traps i like the castle here as well for
cake in and change the flow of the round a little bit creates and one my
angles and they'll a foe I wonder how much they're gonna hide commit to the top
floor inside the bomb site and here's his pre-fires eventually he will fall
that's a rough start here for shy Academy especially losing his army early
wizard went for a big job he tried to go for a run out jump out from the top
floor and he could not get back into sight shock takes a lot of damage from
From that thorn trap, Pluto though, meanwhile, I mean, he's top 10 in the league for a reason.
He's found a double, shaz the last one, flawless round for Manila Fo, that's a lot more like it.
Much, much better. Again, just getting the ability to threaten a plant early, go for direct attacks and have that bit of aggression.
Also just waiting for all the plays to happen, right?
They get the first pick, they catch the jump out.
No mistakes happening in the server.
I'm curious for the third operative band for both sides. It's really easy to see like an
asami clash and mirror. Could see a secondary hard breacher or yeah, I was
second hard breacher. Again the ASI banner makes so much sense here. You can
enable that top four bomb side so much more. And the reason why I set the
asami which also did get banned the way is a matter of protection. Especially
because if you're expecting that Hibana ASBAN, you know that top four is
going to be all about bunkering down in very few positions. And the castle
mirror clash asami all impact the big difference is some of those operators like
the clash the castle they're good for certain strats and certain bomb sites
the asami works for every bomb site and every strat so you want to try and
targetband the most influential option of the four and asami just makes it's
It makes perfect sense for this case.
Always a good kick.
And now that, yeah, no more range, high breach, also changes things a lot on the defense,
but there's still so many different tools for them to use.
Interestingly the mirror hasn't been picked up as of yet, and that's something that's
been left unbanned as well.
Mirror and flash and their phrase.
with the chanker and smoke and goya, like you've got so many good anchors here for
Shikadami, some manila foes to make sure they're here with it.
Just thing to see that it's elements running the Zofia, usually you pick that
operator when you're attacking top floor bombsite so you can go for the three big rings.
But the secondary tin can openers and the versatility of the lifeline do have
a lot of utility still available. Luto's the one to try and take some quick
I'm protected when enemy nearby.
Yeah, well that's all the snake.
Instant information can walk down the staircase, scan the floor beneath him.
Also, when banged, you can kind of guess what did he finish playing at, right?
Open area, usually up by a staircase.
Or in this case, inside the elevator for shunt, has the ability to fall back down the hatch
if there's much pressure applied in his direction.
And all he has to keep an eye out for here is going to be the blitz.
If Sharky can close the gap to any of these soul roamers, that could be the way that Mennon
will find the opening kill.
So if you hear Blitz, you gotta fall on back, if you take too much damage, Sean, same story,
it's almost time to drop down that hatch.
Now it's time to kill Blitz.
As soon as he hears that, he's like, oh, I'm not gonna deal with that.
I wanted to tangle with Sharky in close quarters, but he does have impacts, which
would be nice to land onto that Blitz if he's able to at some point.
And our Shark Academy have just completely forfeited the entire room with the exception
of blue stairs so how's manlify gonna deal with that perhaps with the blitz i mean
surely the blitz should be able to 1v1 that mute especially if you have a second player to come and
support i think i'm for a shotgun spear that should be able to make quick work of wizard here
and yeah perfect love that even though shaki does take quite a bit of damage there from the
thorn trap that is a very effective way to clear blue stairs and you said quite a bit but
Shaggy Simone just tanked it, he's only lost 20 health from his bar.
Oh no.
But look at this, there's a bit of a gap.
Shaskon unchecked, on-road, unnoticed, takes down the Blitz, doesn't find the second player though.
Hunter, killed back towards the server staircase.
Only losing one body there is fantastic news for Man on the Phone,
but it does mean that Shaskon keeps lingering in this corner of the river.
Pre-fires for one as well, the years will trade him on back, but damage has been done.
Now 40 seconds as the Gorya fires start to pop.
Keep in mind, Aiken still has so much utility to burn out and fire this position as well.
So, Manila Foe, unfortunately, despite having a quick clear onto Blue,
that mistake onto Clearing Server has now put them in dire straits.
Start waiting right now, Hitch Academy.
Don't get all the strength, don't get all the magic.
Here comes in Deep, points and pops, they know it.
They're sold on HP, this is one player that doesn't matter.
Shunt and tied together, finds all the picks,
And they play perfectly off the glue and to shang a fire knowing that the wing condition is simply stay alive
Wave them to make the first move then go for a counter swing
Okay, the Sean man is absolutely firing off. He's still pregnant at the moment for sure Academy
He's looking good paste with Manila for on bank defense no less. So Pingu
At what point do you get a little bit worried for Manila foe keeping in mind that they need a regulation win to guarantee
Pax and if it is an overtime win
There's even quite a large difference between 8-6 versus 8-7 in terms of what has to happen in the other games to get them to qualify, because like I said, a regulation win means that they've locked it in, but an overtime win means that they're really at the mercy of what happens with circular spheres later on.
And you can't afford to make mistakes like the mistrun slash just misread onto Shaz holding on to server for as long as he did
It's also a matter of you know say my love for the qualifier, but it's gonna be a close affair
Struggling in your final match for qualifications to go to a land event against much stronger teams than the current version of
Chacademy mind you they struggled off stage long
They have a sub player right now, and you're playing bank
And I bet you should know quite well if you're man on the phone even though it's the first time you've played at this stage
Well going to land you're gonna face up against you know
teams
Enterprise and then any of the three team or two of the teams that qualify based on their sales today
Like seven circle of skewers, etc
You want to make this convincing gonna make this look like okay when we go to land we go to packs
We have a good shot. We have a good chance. We're gonna get some good experience with some good games
Not like, oh my god we barely beat Sharkademy, can we really beat the players on land?
It's bad doubt, that can, that can manifest.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I think that's something that really benefits teams like 7, because they have had a lot of convincing wins in the competition so far.
Sharkademy, second, last in the standings. If Mandela Foe want to lock in top 4, they really should be doing away with Sharkademy, not stressing too much.
Now a top floor attack, this is where everything started to fall apart for Manila Foe and now
Wizards brought the mirror as well.
Wizards on the smoke last time holding on to Janada was the reason why Manila Foe could
not get that plant down on this top floor.
Now he's got a Nitro Cell and a Mirror Window to protect it.
Yeah, there's more useful here from Manila Foe finally.
We're seeing something like this since it's come into action.
Dodo gets shot seemingly from nowhere, takes a lot of damage.
I care about the stock windows, the hallway, but the beneath him, the main breach as well.
Because he's so low, yep, they're gonna keep swinging.
Shaz him deep within the bomb site of the chassis.
We'll find that first pick and protect it by the Casabaricates.
Thanks to the fact that Mellowtho, they banned the way to the Asami.
What's the point of banning way to the Asami and then not breaking those Casabaricates?
You have Cali, two lances in pocket.
The freshman needs in pocket our funds are on the window of hell. Get the Casper kid is still alive
Not on though. That's a crucial mistake from wasn't that picks up the nitrous or goes for a second time
But it does not get the kill regardless shots the man the myth the legend the substitute coach
Who jumps straight in for shy Academy denies the plant and now beers is left all along
She had a me and now on the verge of taking the lead on the defensive side in a flawless fashion
This is a nightmare case for Nanolophon.
Beers, two claymores, not used.
Two Kali lenses, not used.
And had there not been a castle barricade in the middle of the bomb site, I wouldn't mind it.
But that was a crucial piece of utility that was never removed from the attack.
Again, a small mistake there, and it cost his team a plethora of his life.
Shaz would not be able to play as aggressive as the chassis position had the castle barricade been opened up.
Now we're Katie beating, we're trying to save some of those stats.
Years is 7 and 2 mind you, but it won't matter for this round.
I'm not finding any impact, I'm finding any real kills.
This is an active triangle to cry.
First ring in the sky, I did not care.
There's three seconds left.
This one is guaranteed in the bonus academy.
The beers will get two kills to bet the stats.
Yeah.
Into the last round of the half now for ManLFO
and the pressure is rising.
Shycademy are playing with their coach substituting in
with no hope of making packs and nothing to lose.
And we are seeing that work for them.
I still can't believe that Shot managed
to get into position two, deny that plan.
But Manila foe are letting the cracks
fall in these attacking rounds.
One last chance to get things right.
Now, when they're attacked
off an open-office area and they won flawlessly. You need to repeat a
performance like that and then take that momentum into their own defensive path.
Otherwise their fate would be out of their hands. I tell you who's cheering on
right now. Circular Spears and Sevens chiefs actually are all watching this
game in anticipation. If Manila Fo can not hack it then it makes
Everything's so much easier
Oh
You catch that James
Oh, you miss something the player can stay on the market. I'll tell you what it was
Someone might have held
Someone might have had two fingers visible across two hands. That's all I can say
I mean better fun
I love those. A lot of expression here from the players, both in and out of the server.
And Sean, like I said, Bro came straight from work, it looks like, and it's having a great time.
He's floating, and he's always on these front forward positions.
Like he's always roaming, looking for the entry, locking it down the air from there,
Hunter goes down, Elements goes down.
They can't just jump out the window and just say send it, call a player on cams, maybe mid
placing another claymore, so I have no idea but either way that is a crazy way to get
the two first opening kills without even being traded.
He's out, he's alive, he's instead of server.
Yeah, terrible way to start the final round and what's more, if there's another runner
at large, it's Wizard upstairs, now he's dropped down the hatch to Admin, so I can't
even know they don't have to force the issue on the run here, they can just
fall back to the bomb site. It's up to Manila Foto to pick up the pieces of this devastating
start to a round. Manila Foto keep having to drone everything. They're going to have
to check every last piece of this roam game. And there are still a few roamers around.
I mean, Shonsen Tellers, Wizard in Starframe Shaz, as well as Admin, Kakin and Elevators.
There's so much still happening before that Chikademy are forced back towards the
bomb site itself. This does finally take down Sean. Still have Kai going for a flank up
square, but Pluto takes him down. So a little bit of an overheat here from
Chikademy, and now two of the last three players for Chikademy are on the bomb
site, and now I have a minute to work it. Very big overheat. I mean, you can use AFK
in five different corners, close towards the site, and just wait for
men level to struggle at problem solving. They don't even have
heart-breaching for any of the hatches than they ever did even if they hadn't lost to members early on.
They have a very simplistic approach here to the open area attack. The Chinatac Academy
swings so continuously and they lose to members, but they've got Shaz, Wizard and Kaken working
together now. They've got a lot of different trap operators here that can get that information
in the walk-ins. Thorn, Meluicy, Elle, I can all give you information if they've been placed
in the right doors and entries. There's 30 seconds left. A sharkie with the backwards
should be walking very comfortably. The players behind him don't have to look at the shield.
Perfecto, he baits the movement out of Blizzard which Beers can then take down from the other side.
However, Pluto who comes through with a big kill on the cake in Shaz now must 1v2 know you
till the try and fight as Blackbeard means he needs to make this work quickly. Pluto holding
the line with the M762. Shaz has to duel these players. We go for a jump over but this
This is a perfect way to play it here.
Sharky can just stand up, feed Info to his teammate,
and then look to try and peek at the exact same time
as Pluto. They can 3-2-1 this.
Pluto finds the final kill.
Manila foe, 3-v-5, despite those initial kills
from Kynavix.
And now three versus, three rounds apiece.
Manila foe need to have a bigger splash
in the second half.
This game has been a little bit unwieldy so far. Even after Manila Foeh are on the
back foot and Shaikhaidami up 3-2, fine two opening picks from Kai, jumping out
a window, Manila Foeh bring it back and somehow win the 3v5 only dropping a
single player. They've put themselves in good stead though but stakes remain
the same. No turning back. You've got to win this game otherwise chances of
making state finals and packs are looking very dim. So Chacademy, who have been playing
spoils all day long, now move on to their attacking side, a favourite for most people
on bank and then on the foe, have to create a strong showing on this defensive side.
It's a terrible sight for most like he said, but the issue is more about the structure
right? The Chacademy have the ability to go for bumps and executes and conquer
up a good plan in the server again they played very loose in defense as I
mean how they they lost that previous round to six because they got the first
two picks they kept just running around taking fights and they would lose those
and then lose by the bomb site later on now we gotta see them play a bit more
spanner or step one step two step three figure out okay guys then hit the
bomb site you know about the room player with the intel give the
utility right now we came to the pocket strats though getting all right
there the sands the shield of lids if they just get a hold of you know the
server staircase maybe one hatching of an area they can do a lot of different
plant spots happen with this setup on the attack I still think it's crazy that
shycademy are gonna go for attacks like that while they're playing with their
coach of course yeah Sean will be across a lot of the strats as the
coach who's actually been in those scrims and dry runs practicing them. So I have a lot of respect
for the level that they have brought to this game despite being the second-last-place team in the league
and playing with the sub. They're really putting the pressure on Manila Fo, forcing them to play
their best game today when they need it most. On for the Rome Clear top floor, looking good.
Nobody from Manila Fo contesting at the moment as Shaz makes his way down the main stairs
and next step is clearing out that ground floor the positions like open area and
of course in the elevator shaki still holding on still has a deployable shield
as well maybe didn't have time during prep phase to put it down had places to
be namely in that elevator we are a drone hole fighting each other almost back
and forth here but not to be player from shakami or walking other directions
will serve a staircase. Sharky here's the players right by the main stairs and lift and lock
in as before. When you hear that blitz, usually it means time to throw them back and do exactly
the same thing. Sharky though, it wastes a lot of time there. One minute thirty five
left on the clock. Sharky, not super quick to the punch but to be honest, looking
at the attacking composition, you don't need to be taxed. You just gotta be accurate,
come to the bottom side and fear is in the most awkward position ever. All angle
the need to have strength to go for a freebie becomes the freebie instead guys
it's bots in the endgame chat. Respect that honestly. Beers you might be top
dragging but you really want to leave your team out to dry I mean the rest of
his team has as many kills as here if you combine all four of the players
and yeah that's the only C4 I feel like that was a very unnecessary risk to
take here for beers. Now Shai Academy hold all the cards they have the
numbers advantage they're putting pressure on main stairs they're
starting to put a little bit of pressure as well on server. Hunter is still
holding inside server at the moment. Sean wants to try and destroy that
bulletproof but he's not gonna get the angle from upstairs. No organization
pocket either so the issue is with the Aurora with the sense of wall if this
BB can spot them the surprising factor of where is the plan to went down
was out the window. Time is taking away 30 seconds no more
toxic dapes though but a player and server are getting run down by the
Blitz. And it really comes out of Kanchas win this fight.
No wonder, what blinded finds the kill onto that Blitz.
Traded back immediately by Chikademy, who still have the numbers advantage.
Here comes the plug from Sean to try and prevent these doorways from being utilized by the defense.
But the attack for March is forward.
This is a very risky plan spot.
Wiz and low HP, but it almost goes through before finally denied.
Three seconds on the clock.
Sean has to get in deep while Kakin tries to re-attempt the plant but the fire from the
chanker will mince into a pulp. Manila Foe locking out that final first defensive ram on
the basement.
Such small things there to find the outcome of that round. It was going to be a wizard
with a very low HP on the Grim sprinting through the fire in the bomb side and it
was just so low on HP. Had there been a full health Lich player running in outside
the plan goes down but they had to opt for a swift plan B and they did that they
didn't waste any seconds they didn't do anything that was unnecessary but one
thing did go wrong he lost the most valuable player when they got to that
plant position bomb does not go down and that basement site as an attacker it's
all about getting into a post played from the hatches paid from server from
far away we can be very comfortable you cannot get that diffuser down you
gotta find all the kills and they did not do that either it's manly full of
victorious in the first one. Now they go top four. It's all about protecting the players,
the castle, the assam, the information, the echo. And it's gonna mean that Shaq enemy
has a lot of different things to worry about in this round. Ideally, you are trying to
play on the window of hell and trying to get a kill with a, you know, grenade in this
case from the Beimos maybe, or you want to get triggered with Capitao, or a block
downstairs last second attack or if you're there from Shaq, it would be a case of
I slid in the player inside of janitor's because that's all soft floor try and get that kill make them run away
They utilize the sense where again to repelling those from side windows that could be the game plan here for shark animal
In goes Polly lances very early
Polly is in such a good position right now to
The contest angle is like this with the recent buffs, I mean already that scope being a little
bit less magnified obviously that's probably one of the few places you do want a more magnified
scope but I mean these days especially still being able to use the gadget while zoomed
in and swap the gadget on the sniper without having to zoom out.
They're quite on the server.
Just kind of waiting for that first bit of fighting.
Man on the fold, they're happy to sit back,
but they feel a bit eerie.
Window rappels, ATM rappel,
could you drop down the skyline?
We're not sure.
Now there's someone who's hoodl right now in the airco.
Like what's going on?
Yes, like, hmm, if they're not doing anything,
are they AFK or are they simply setting up
something that we haven't realized just yet?
But I see they sit out there
and shorn downstairs and staff room
as the buff player.
I very much believe it's all about janitors.
So Kai can scanner right now from the solid snake position outside, Sean can go beneath the buck and open it up while they're on the window of health and cut off the generalization.
Whilst they've reached the wall actually, so a lot of pressure being applied at the same time, that's the first step, successful, and they find the pick as well, great job, but the big question mark will always become here in bank, can they actually get a plant down, can they get inside the bomb site against the warden, the echo, and then last C4 in pocket of Sharky?
Third opening death for beers by the way this game the guy who's been top-fragging the entire server has had a few rounds where he is completely
Faken for Mattener Lotho when they need him
Chikademy have isolated a lot of these players really pulled apart these power positions
I mean Janitor's closet is a mess. You don't want to be playing in there after the thermite tried to rip open the wall
Really elements is one of the safest players. He's got three keeper barriers to work with as well
He's still playing on his deployable shield
I don't see a lot of explosives, perhaps Shaz's grenade to try and take it down, Wizard wants
to go for the plant, Kakin will cover for one, however the plant still has to confirm
Wizard is being Haitian here, which I like, and Sharky's been taken down from below, Shot
having an unbelievable game, the substitute coming in clutch for Shikademy as now Wizard
will commit to the plant, it's up to Elements to try and move in, Pluto buys him just
brief moment with that yokai drone at shikademy outnumber manlfo 4 to 2 now 4 or 3 to 1 i should
say his elements is the last one left he does find the planter now he just needs to survive
he's got the key to values to try and protect himself he wins the first five and he doesn't
have time to get refragged elements clutches up for manlfo shikademy got so close but elements
has given manlfo a second life oh my days again the echadon getting so much value in
that round, it actually echoes on the planther on two separate occasions making that plant
just take forever and gives the final bit of information there on when to swing and where to
swing. The manlifo of a big clutch, they will now get a bigger and bigger lead. In that five
three scholar on their side, also winning top floor. You know, I know they banned the
A.C. Binance, we get a little bit more than Vindrable, but still it's a huge victory. I think
Tertiary open area plays at little bit more data on the defense because you can play more in the room
There's more map to work with more layers to peel back more areas to fall back to
And it plays well into show ten in a slower play style because when you're a little bit slow in the entries and whatnot
Well decide itself might have a lot of time left. They started plenty with 20 seconds remaining
Despite finding two early kills in that round
Look at that timing half a second more and Sean would have gotten a kill with a buck prefire most likely
I missed what was said in the chat. I really want to know
Man
man
Spawn peak immediately after as well from hunts that maybe going die while you're
Not worth ever committing to that
Menelifor will have a lot of confidence after that round, even though the round will just hang out particularly well for them.
Just a watch-up moment like that from the elements. I mean, he hasn't had a particularly hot hang, right?
But a 1v3 is huge. He's 5v5, so not really fragging out overall, but an impact round like that gives you the confidence that you need.
There's Kai very quickly into the map. Very close to that bomb site. Might actually be at a backstab element, but Valkyrie's hurt him.
Okay, pause the movement, go over the wallbang on one side, and then again wall of wisdom
you're watching a window from an electric room.
Find that early roamer with that, you now get a direct line of sight from the middle
of the map towards the bombsite here if you are a member of the academy.
If you utilize that from Kars position as he is right now, also cutting off the
main staircase.
You can very quickly get the glass and the sense into action and really pressure that
scythe to force him down the plant.
Kai and Wizard together actually really in a good spot trying to corner Pluto who's now
been detected.
And yeah, Kai is turning the other backstab inside the bomb site.
It's taken down by Beers from up above on the verb, but Shai Academy have a lot
of pressure thanks to Shaz, aggressive onto the bomb site, Wizard on the floor.
beer's takes down Aikin and they know exactly where beer's is upstairs, the
Azalea, the Birkenhofer, trying to buy him some space to get out alive but no
Sean will punish him regardless. Sean again double digits now. The
Chacadamese coach subbing in today for Rani. He's had a impressive performance.
Now Pluto has to 1v3. His teammate succeeded last round but not to be this
time around. Sean again, the man of the hour. He steps up massively for
Chikademy when he is called upon and now they are only one round away from tying the scoreboard
Actually, so good. I mean he's finding so much value and it ends up being just solo play upstairs fighting some kills and trades back
For his team the members falling early
Operator bands and just thinking a headlight
Do you go for the solid snake right now because it has been annoying it hasn't been like winning the attackers the valence per se
But it is speeding up the process
No blitz and the echo actually gonna go into play here. It's a bit of a
What a specific counter ban if anything the blitz works really well for the base and bomb side to take the server staircase and
Works with attacking generous top floor as well in theory. You're gonna go back sort of attacking style
So key to see
I didn't realize what happened last round where shocky actually got aggressive running outside bomb side to try and take that
five credits. It's interesting to do in that. Yeah, I mean, I feel like they have to because
of the way shycademy appealing part is this bombsite, opening up as many holes with
hardware and soft breach as they can onto these bombsites. I really like the fuse pick that's
being teased at the moment from Shaz as well, which can just mince up most of the utility
on the bombsite. Also a great counter to the Tuber Rao. Manila foe just two rounds away
from locking in their spot at stage finals live in the packs at Melbourne.
Five seconds to insertion. The Chikademy have really dug deep today.
Been a shame because the scoreline really could have been the other way around here for Chikademy,
but it's got to tighten up in the late stage of a round. When they get that big advantage,
don't go for an over-settler swing, try and force the teamwork and coordination.
You just get shot in the middle, let him be the playmaker, okay?
This guy seems to have all the answers right now for his team.
Mikaela solid snake fast in the building.
This is why I was saying that it could have been a solid snake ban in theory, because
it speeds up all the small things, like almost no drone in top floor, walks in the staircase,
sees up in the elevator, Paken finds Spears again, did early.
This guy was like what, 10 to 2? Now bears his 13 to 7.
Yeah, it's the fourth time that he's been the opening pick, which is just the last thing that Manilapho needs in a moment like this.
Basement defense, one player down, the Azami, who's Util, generates throughout the round.
How barbaric is an unusual pick, but I like the idea.
And being piqued as well, at the same time by Kai.
I'm not gonna find a freebie, but the map control now belongs to the Academy.
Now I see they're destroying all the corners.
Despite the fact they have solid snake, you know, also running around scanning the building.
So I'm sure there's no mute jammer, no vigil, no trickery in the server.
Because right now, they're in that prime position of, if we don't make any massive mistakes, no blunders, we'll be fine.
We have so much time to work with, we can use the hatch to clear all the useful hopefully
with the Holy Catastars, which have been missed so far so no value to be found there, but
hatches opened up, Hunter also falling back from server now because losing one member
early was enough, it cannot risk losing a second, so it will become the planned denial
versus the planned attempt.
And right now with your Sharkatomy, you need to read into this correctly.
You cannot realistically plant against the Goyur to Sharkat and smoke, you're better
Reaching the lobby hatch, the elevator hatch, backstabbing garage, all at the same time.
Because if they keep waiting for the 2-brow, keep waiting for the plant to come into effect,
time will be a problem and you can lose the entire round to a single piece of plant denial,
which there is 4 different ways of that happening.
You've seen that happen before as well.
Elements got his 1v3 on the top 4, he calls it, shot knows.
He has to make a play, he drops down into vault, finds the 1.
That's Elements going down, no more Nitro cell available, traded back by Sharky.
Chanker is not distracted and not denying the plan so Shaz will start to force it down and sharply punish from the backstab
Traded back right through so who now must do it all himself finds one the car on the floor
It's a 1v1
Shaz the try and go deep the shield gets up in his face
Takes it forward the PMM and man ill of foam take one step closer to packs in Melbourne
the pistol is so lethal just instantly gets the kill now Shaz actually came off the plant
there in the final second before the clutch because he was not sure if the pack was in
a safe location because he came off the plant he can clutch it later it's gonna be attack
timeout this matchup is far too close for comfort if you're a member of man Levoe
they're the full five man they're the ones with packs on the line their opponent is
They're just here to ruin their day and they're getting so close to doing that.
Yeah, on the smile on Kaken's face to see Manilifo take the tactical time out when Shaqadmy
just tied up the score like that.
He's having so much fun, like this isn't a tactical time out, this is just a sesh to
have a chat, have a laugh.
Shaqadmy on the Manilifo side, I can't imagine that their face will be quite so
happy.
A lot of stress for the boys now who had a 5-3 advantage which has now been ripped
away from them. Two in a row for Shai Academy. Beer's on fire, but that doesn't feel accurate.
Honestly, the MVP of this game so far has got to be Shunt. He's had such a big impact, even dropping
down in vault. The fact that he finds one but is traded back, it buys enough time and space
for the rest of Shai Academy to look for that execute. Even though it gets so close,
thanks to the play from Pluto on the Goyo, it's not enough for Nan LFO. They have to
to change bombsites again. Pengu, they've just tried staff, open area, they've tried
lockers in the basement. Now they go to the top floor, they only won this because of a
1v3 from Elements. Shikani are in the perfect position, exactly where they want to be to
set this up for a match point for Shikademy.
And that's if you're up at the school board, it does not tell the full story like
you said before. Beers might have the most kills, only by one at this point, but
Some of those were exit frags in a 1v5 and a 1v4
and some of those happens in a round that his team loses
and he gets a couple of kills before the chaos happens.
It's all about high impact kills versus low impact kills.
Sean, as you said, backstabber, entry, cloture, same for Shaz.
That one kill on the fuse, that's around victory.
You only get one kill, but that one kill gets you literally the entire round.
We'll talk about value.
Shaikannoy, they're finding it and they're doing it more and more consistently.
Look at the attack and lineup. They are turning it up more and more notch here.
Getting more toxic operators, if you will. The glass in there would look like not much counterplay in the server.
There's no water, for example. The grim bees, which again, no counterplay right now available for the red ping spotting.
And they were all off, trying to close off some of those crossfires and compile to mentalize the bottom side.
It's a Gandy's Pogastrate to keep on working, they close it and they rankle on into the site.
Wow, this is so aggressive here.
Shaakademy taking no prisoners, but B is going to hunt it together, we'll help on out.
Just moments away from potentially clinching the match point they've been needing, but Kakin almost brings it back.
Spider-Man on the upside down, Roppel.
Don't contest that Pluto, that's very ambitious. You're in a 4v3, you do not need to take that fight against Kakin.
against Kakin decides to abandon his position and walk straight to the waiting arms of Shunt.
A critical mistake but Hunter will trade him on back and Manila Foe retain the numbers
advantage.
So we're gonna hear what they're from Shunt.
A bit of a, I don't know, no fear kind of play and gets shot down and punished for
it.
The issue is they lost the glass, they lost the black beard, the big pushing part on
the side but they're not done yet.
Kakin finds one more with the great DMR, long reach engagement and they defend
themselves through the part, one by meeting, one by general rotate.
They can still help each other, and with Shai Academy going for their big rotation instead,
one on the roof and Kai in the middle of the site.
I don't think that Manila foe have info, but they find the kill regardless, triple from
Hunter.
If there was any moment to step up for Manila foe, it's right now, Kakin has to 1v2 for
Shai Academy.
He's got the DMR to do it, but no Nitro now available for Hunter, gets burned, takes
out the barbed wire.
made still in pocket the Kakin the two LFO players look to regroup Hunter
supported by elements but they do not need to make this 1v1s here the Kakin
he will happily lap them up exactly where Hunter is does have a maid could
try and flush him out of that corner and go for the peek he's got a little
bit of time to fish for this
how do you spend that time when you know where the enemies are at because the
The issue is Hunter makes it a 4k, the man LFO, they take yet another step, match point
in their hands, hacks points as Hunter gets Lippy in the all chat, but Chikademy are so
close.
This is the decisive moment now, Pengu.
This is where we find out if man LFO can take manas into their own hands, a regulation
win and they're going to PAX over time and it comes down to what happens later
today between CS7 and the other teams that are still vying for that spot at
PAX this is the last chance that Manila foe have to do it on their own terms
ridiculous and of course they may get as close as humanly possible either if
you said you take it they go into a tee and the future becomes uncertain
Jack enemy they surely know those odds as well
They could just you know one more round for them guys one more cheeky strat one more good opening kill
Jack had him it gave me getting really close to these rounds
I mean finding the potential comeback on that CEO attack
Phenomenal getting into a 2v2 seemed impossible, but then at the very end they fall to Manila foe's aggression
We're just out swinging out on the defense
Waiting for the final attack a repeat right now to see what they're gonna be conjuring up for this round
Capitow is great, I think, to try and find that isolated member, the Blackbeard, Solid Snake, again, fast bit of math control.
The Shikaten meets all about building an early advantage and then a little bit more discipline, holding on a little bit stronger together,
not having too many members in an isolated soul position.
But kindness round, though, be mindful, there are mute jammers in place.
If you're standing on your jammer as a defender, you will not show up on the scanner.
He could get caught off guard if there's going to be those jammers on the roam.
Question one for me is what happens with beers on the roam? Does he get punished early?
Oh my.
No, it's Elements who falls first.
Almost a refrag there on the bombsite. Sharky takes a bit of damage, but the exchange happily won by Kai.
Beers is in arcades just around the corner from this roam.
And he has been the player to stand up for Manila foe.
But he's also been the player to fumble it. He falls back deeper into the bomb site wants to go for a peek
But with the number of times that he has been punished in these early rounds
You can see why I have a little and he does get swung back again by Kai shy catamy
5v3 now with just a few moments away from pushing this deeper into overtime
Finding gator for gap and kill the kill mirror with the watch straight into it
I'm saying a bit more discipline in the server guys. It's 5v3. You got five grim beach
Got two cover fires. You got a black people got sake you can smoke the mirror
You can walk in bait the C4's drop the hatches, but you're not walking all solo
Menlethal they're ready for those five. Oh, wow. It's just talking now 1v3 out of nowhere
Thanks to Shaz find in the double on the black beard nitro cell available
in pocket as the Blackbeard closes the distance but Kakin has been bought enough
time to get into the building, Shaikademy make it OT and with that
Manilifo's fate is no longer in their hands. There's still a chance that Manilifo
can make packs but they will need to win this in overtime and then hope even
more. Shaikademy will promise to play spoils and now they're looking to do
so exactly as was promised.
We're watching the player cams there from gay kid.
I'm sure that their players themselves knew exactly what was on the line for that round
ridiculous sequence.
I mean Kai is doing disgusting things for now in the server.
It's why I mentioned that, you know, the potential ban there off the solid snake could
be really good but they left it open and he's just in there every single round finding
so many kills that despite swinging that mirror window and getting hit with a
cushion mark in the chat they still come out on top.
Play on no red card.
Shikademy are laughing right now, they're having the time of their life.
Again this game barely matters to Shikademy at all.
There's not a lot riding on it for them except for Pride, I mean they're playing.
Just the vibes man.
No less it's all about the vibes.
You look at the standings right now.
Academy in second last place with no chance of getting the playoffs and no
chance of dropping down into last place technically they can jump one point on
the standings up higher above team annuals but even then that barely matters
at all it's a tiny bit of money a tiny bit of their side points neither of
rich I think will be life-changing here for the Academy so really this is
about playing spoils for Manila vote because if man lose today and that
opens the gates the circular spheres to overtake them also if man lose today that
locks in seven and chiefs the going to packs oh
besides will switch though I'm not sure that's gonna be a good thing or a bad
thing gives us a fight waiting find out and the phone the attack you guys
the same aggressive operators the solid snake the blitz and they have this obsession for
metal a full about the nook so third or fourth round now on the attacking side where they'd
love to bring out this particular operator it is basement doodle a gun a solid snake
that operator he was finding the opening thing supported by shotguns comes the fly
there from the chunga shaki is forced to fall back otherwise he will be guard broken
it buys enough time here for shakami to fall back into the bomb site be it
take a little bit of damage as well trying to take garage he's fighting against
Sean who takes him down another first death for beers and another moment for
Sean who now looks to overtake beers I mean you look at the difference here
beers is meant to be the top fragger for Manila foe he's 14 and 10 Sean is meant
to be the coach of shy Academy he's 14 and 6 I recorded but the player
reaction there from the area so it's very animated when he got shot in his
toes there, could not believe what he just witnessed, he knows a big blunder from his side,
and it must be so annoying that Sean is doing so well up against him.
He's not supposed to be here, he's just subbed in, he's just here to save his team as much as he
can but he's doing it in a way that's unusual. He is the top fragger, he is the number one
playmaker and he's died the least times of any player in the server. Insane to say,
man the phone out, losing that character control means that there's less pressure
in the red hallway. Either he's in another attacker who will replace their positions at
a garage, but that means less of an attack on the main side of Cerberus. Tough decisions
to make and Kai just swings their hatch, ego channels and comes up to victory.
Yes, desperate now for the antelope as they look to try and force that plant down. Sharky
and people down. Not taking any damage. Finally the fire starts to burn him away. He does
manage to get that plant down before he goes. Now it's a 4v2 in the retake, but Kaken's
on the floor not finished off as of yet Hunter finally will oblige it's him and
Pluto now trying to be free this hunter of above but what is this fake in the
grass I will take him down one V3 opportunity now for Pluto F2 in hand
as he finds the first one of the kind of X Shaz getting burned by the fire
takes a lot of damage and finished off by Pluto the trying keep his team
alive shunt versus Pluto top-fragger versus top-fragger the super sub
coach has no choice but to stay and waste and they come to the skin of
speaking there's no way there is no way John has just clutched up with balls of
steel and chikademy has stolen match pointed over time oh my god are you
cold why are you shaking why are you shaking it's shot again and again and
And it's a simple action right there. He holds F for seven long seconds
Does not let go doesn't fear the grenade doesn't fear the free fire knows that it's all nothing right now and pros
Do not fake seven to six now chicademy in the lead
Wow
And now that Shaq had the montage with Shunt and his deer, it's every round man.
Bro, get this guy off the coaching sticks. He's had an absolute life game.
Being a part of the deer was so frustrated after his little tootsies got shot in that moment
and Shunt to clutch up in the final moments as well in that 1v1.
Pluto played his little hard out but the grenade was not enough.
He had to drop down and you know what hurts as well is there was no time for Sean to get off and re-attempt
Which meant that there was no reason not to feed his life there for Pluto
Manila foe know exactly how hard they've made it for themselves now Pengu and which I Academy
Winning a seventh round it also guarantees that seven will make it to land at packs
They are finally locked in there is no universe where they can get jumped by both Manila foe and
and circular spears and cheeks for that matter, which means that they will make it to land.
And Shaik-Adi, I mean, I add insult to injury because, look, if Manila foe lose this game from
here on out, then the door is wide open for circular spears. Every single person right now is a huge
fan of Shaik-Adi and me. Just kind of changing the course of the results right now and other
the doors with some of the other teams. Also, farming content in the meantime,
Haken goes down early, unfortunately. Wusser on low HP, not the best starting on the attack.
Looked to be a loppy rush down the hatch, but the matter of case the mines doesn't matter if they fall apart even there, Shaz finds pride.
Big moment now for Shaz to try and fight on back, up against Beers, who has a lot of redemption to do after slowing down a lot.
In this game, GCSG comes out, no damage, finally the kill by Trader back by Shaz. Shaz and Sean.
Look to try and silence Manila Foe in a 2v4 but this is a tough ask for them as Manila
Foe repair and fall back to site.
I think they know about Chance's location, they're kind of looking through the wall in that direction
and just watching the crossfires.
Manila Foe, you can see they're playing scared, I'm going to see they're playing disciplined.
They should be playing like this.
Jack's had him in themselves, lost around in this kind of position where they start
to try to do too much on the defensive side.
You just gotta play the 4v2, play your corners, utilize the Valkyrie camps, the PPCs, and just
say guys, they gotta reach the Bumpside, they gotta pick up the diffuser, they gotta make
all the first moves, all we have to do is try and make two separate 2v1s behind me a
strong crossfire, like between Sharky Lemons by that Garrus Huckaboor.
If Shark walks in, he should be as good as that, he will get shot by the third member
of Streamnective Hunter.
I was all up to the BB, Pshas do.
This is going to go to the 15th, you can tell already 1v4 just ain't happening from this
position.
No diffuser as well.
Pshas says, calm down.
You can see that even though Manila Foe are winning the round, Shaikademy hold all the
cards.
They're the ones who have pushed Manila Foe deep, they're the ones who have ripped
out a chance of locking Manila Foe into playoffs on their own turf, on their
own volition. Now Manila Foe just need to desperately hope they can find a second point
out of this game. Win this 8-7. Hunter is just so tempted to go for the dig, but knows
as well. There's absolutely no point in getting embarrassed in giving Shaz a free kill.
Blackbeard is going to continue waiting here forever. I think he knows exactly what's
happening right now and any kill he gets just further till it's Manila Foe, elements
will find it but still no smiles on any of the players from Manila first faces
7-7 we go to a 15th round Pengu and it all comes down to this can Shikademi add insult to injury
after already ripping Manila first hopes away can they add one final nail to the coffin
every single time beers dies i'm watching his player cam there is so much frustration
Even in that previous round, when he dies, the round is like a 4v2 massively in his team's favor.
But on the player-tank, he's getting out of his chair essentially.
He cannot sit still, he's feeling so much of that emotion in the server.
And it might be affecting the gameplay a little bit.
Like I said, the years at one point was like 10 to 2.
On fire, and the SML is extra-fragure.
He was finding kills consistently.
He is 15 to 11.
He has died every single round.
Sin side swap and forward.
Top floor bomb site will be the final battleground here on bank.
This is it.
End of the road.
7-7.
Now for this round we'll see who's gonna be the victor.
Academy, they got the setup, they got the mirror ring though, the denier laser, the castle for protection, double down with the Yeager.
I like it, but there is not a ton of plant denial. Not a ton of push denial.
You often have a smoke.
In this case, maybe we're looking towards Kai to become the disruptor of the attack,
who's playing solace.
Just like the solace they're gonna attack, a ton of info for the drones, the setups,
can go for a lobby peek, go for it, and then I'll downstairs,
ton of options for him, but he has to be in his infirmary, it's already here, for the rotations.
I wanna try out and watch the shot man, he's the guy that I wanna watch out for,
He's the guy who has contained this game, controlled it for Chikademy.
The ultimate floor on Emmanuel's side, the ultimate program and for them is
Lionroar's Sharky, goes out his smokes, hoping for a peek in from the mirror window.
Wizard will fall, thanks to Pluto and it's going to be a fast entry.
Sharky straight into the Denarii laser, into that tripwire, but Kai is the last one standing.
1v3, defines the first of four needed, trying to clutch up this round.
Hunter in the building as well as the bulletproof camera has been taken down.
Pi looks for a second, he finds it, that's goodbye to Hunter, but Sharky is there for the trade.
It's a stressful game, but a thankful finish for Man LFO.
And immediately Beez puts away his camera. Man LFO have got the win that they needed,
but he's not enough to guarantee them playoffs. They will have to hope and pray that
Circulous Fleeors cannot overtake them if they are to make it to pass.
Oh man, a barn burner of a game and I mean it's a classic tale of the team that's causing the upset.
It's so close, there's one more round the way for the full upset, but still get delivered in the server.
I mean a lot of big moments, watches, throws, a lot of banter in the server.
Manlifo, it took a while for him to maybe take the game a hundred percent seriously
because we saw how much discipline they had in the server when they came into overtime,
when they had that 4v2 on defense, but throughout the majority of regulation, it was just fighting, fighting, fighting and a lot of throwing the rounds away.
So, at least they guarantee the victory, you know, they get that going for them, but they should have never gone to OT against Academy with a Sop.
Yes, it's a crazy game. I mean, Academy just could not believe, especially that clutch from Sean.
Ultimate frustration on Manelofo's face is now there is still a very high chance that Manelofo make it to stage finals
But even if that does happen
It's going to be a pretty hard final game from the group stage
Then go into land with that in the back of your mind
The only way that Manelofo get overtaken now is if circular spheres win against 7 in
Regulation if that happens Manelofo don't make playoffs
Otherwise they should be locked in the packs and that means we would actually already have our top four as well as
Seven and chiefs look to be locked in at the moment
so
Yeah, Manila foe definitely not the game that they were hoping for today
But let's go and have a chat with Sally about his take sitting back and watching
Look Sally, I have to ask you first after seeing how shunt performs coaching something in does it tend to you to maybe do the same?
Absolutely not.
Now, Trump played great.
I think a lot of those things that were there, it tends to happen against us, but you know,
when you let, you know, you're not saying as the term is, and they just ran around,
you know, like super aggressive into us.
And I think a few times I caught a soft card, but like, I'm glad we're able to get it over the line.
You mentioned about getting caught by surprise with the aggression during the rounds in regulation.
It seemed like you guys a little bit more loose, canning yourself.
When you entered OT, the second-last round, that baseman 4v2, we saw the most disciplined
version of you guys, not throwing the man-kind advantage, not going for outrageous swings.
Do you feel like you guys might have played a little bit too much in the first couple
around some speculation, you know, taking the fights, taking the risk or was the
game plan just to be like convincing in the server? I think for us we always come
in and we try and you know play our own game. I think what happened today is we
were a little I would say a little caught-off guard not necessarily like
the aggression was too much in fact I would actually argue you know we've
missing some information, some picks were getting dropped super early, especially on defence.
And it led to us always trying to recover the rounds, when you try to, and there were some
big moments from the boys, so I've got to give it to them.
But look, definitely not happy with the result, but we at least won, and that's what's
important.
That overtime win at 8-7 puts you guys on 13 points with a plus six round difference as your final standings at the moment
That's just behind seven and chiefs also on 13.7 with a plus 12 round difference chiefs with a plus 11 round difference
But the chances that you can jump either of those teams are almost impossible now
Of course you still sit above circular spheres but they're about to play
Have you done all the calculations as the coach?
It's kind of your job to keep that in your head and let the players not think about it.
What do you kind of think looking into the rest of the play day?
Are you going to be watching avidly? I expect.
Yeah, I mean, we'll definitely be watching.
I think that obviously, like, there's going to be a bit of nerves watching those games
as to see how CS does, especially now that they know that they have a chance to be able to pull it off.
But at the same time, we just have to like what we've done is enough and kind of like just sit back
It would be nice to have it our control, but we don't have it. So
See what happens
Regardless, you've had a fantastic stage, but hopefully we'll get to talk to you at PAX for stage finals
Good luck for the rest of the day. Don't stress yourself out too much. Hope you can just zen and yeah
I hope you guys make it to PAX
Absolutely, you know it's end but yes the chief will be with some good country
And yeah, the place he goes back
Thanks, Sali. Good luck in the rest of the games
It's now set up the stage for a very tantalizing rest of the day, of course
87 I said plus six it actually puts them on a plus five round difference man LFO
Which is important because it means that even if seven get seven zeroed by circular spheres
That means that Manila foe will actually be behind both seven and CS now if chiefs get seven owed by any of us
Manila foe will actually be above them. So
Still a universe where chiefs actually don't make it and
Yeah, that's if secular spheres win and chiefs get seven owed
But at the moment Manila foe really rely on the results of these other games to try and make it through
Which is the last place that you want to be I
I mean crazy scenes honestly and I love the fact that we get such a hectic final
playday for any sub region or any region in general but of course it's O's I feel
like it's meant to be now with the first match result it does bring in some ways
less chaos like you just mentioned right there's less uncertainty now it's more
about cheats and any O's at the end of the day circle series against simon for
example but I'm excited either way man I think the first game going to OT the
back and forth clockshades the bands in the game chat is what we love O's
for now very much but of course it's not finished yet like we've got three more
games today and we could determine the top four with this next match result
seven versus circular spheres coming up in just a few moments
and the strong people coming out from the bottom,
the people on the top are burning,
so I think it's important for the next tournament.
So now there is a community that I'm running,
and I'm trying to raise the siege with a community called Pulseurot.
We have to be strong to enjoy the environment that allows us to step up to the professional level.
We are a community where we focus on getting stronger.
This community is made to create their own background,
and they are made to create people who can be themselves, such as Anitha, or DD,
and we are going to hold a big community that can support the World Tournament.
My current dream is to be born in eSports, so I'm glad to be able to return to eSports.
I want to create a community like the city of Saudi Arabia.
I have a big dream and I'm moving forward.
I want to win the season and make the city, so I want both of them to have both of them as the world's strongest person and the person who is playing now, the person who is playing now.
E-Sports is a disease that causes a lot of pain in the legs.
I've experienced it myself, too.
E-Sports is a good place for people like that to work.
I think it's important to create a fun and working environment for the poor.
I think it's important to have fun working with everyone.
It is heating up here in OCE. We still don't know who's going to pass. We're about to find
out whether CS can have even a chance. Manilapho did not win a regulation, which means that
Circulus fears still have a shot to make it to axe in Melbourne. My god
I have been trying to run the numbers all day Peggy
You have with the amount of sleep that I didn't get I am now feeling absolutely cooked and I
Don't know man. I don't know. I didn't know what to say automated spreadsheet gyms
You used to be a man of automated spreadsheets. Yes. Yes my spreadsheet, bro
But we've also been arguing with the admins about what the scores were and what the round difference and what the it's just like
It's like that tiebreaker is like a head-to-head. You know, it's complicated guys
And there's a lot riding on this one because it's a spot at land that then can get you a spot at the Sarka
So my god, everything is going behind this of course EP already locked in they play later chiefs not locked in
Seven I think they're locked in based on my mask, but we're still getting a hundred percent confirmation on that
One thing we know for certain is that circular spheres are not locked in. In fact, they're on the outside right now desperately trying to get in
Let's break down this CS roster, of course an old name now in
Oceanic Rainbow 6, but they've been out of APL for a hot minute
They were the read technically this roster is actually the rebranded version of six targets
But a bunch of these players were actually playing in tier two under the name circular planets now they're back
We've got classics like karma and goofed and of course king or pixie as he was once known now
There's a righty and saw joining the roster as well. This is a team that is so close to making their debut at last
And we're seeing what happens with him can be so close yet so far
It's about that pressure and can they perform under its one thing from the side of circular spheres is that I'm from from my unlimited
researcher I've seen in the play days. They don't strike me as a very big shield team and we are very
much still in a very big shield meta. Depending on what map they will play today that could come
into effect for their performance. Mirox is all sword popping off on their player camps and living
a big round victory. They've had some big moments but all of that comes down to today.
If you don't do good enough right now in this game upcoming then it will all be nothing
like your stage two essentially ends, you don't go to land, that's it.
I just have a 100% confirmation thing at the admins.
We actually double checked the scores of every single game,
and we will follow Liquopedia, which actually has one of the match scores wrong.
It's given Seven an extra round difference that they don't actually have.
Our admins have gone back and checked the void,
which means Seven is actually not yet locked in for packs.
7 are tied exactly with round difference with chiefs at the moment, which means that the lowest they could get if they get 7-0 is plus 4,
which means that 7 are in the position where they just need 1 round. Let's talk about this 7 roster,
new organization joining the Rainbow 6 scene, picking up the old Barbie boys roster, a team which is very deadly,
Prez has been kicking around the scene for a very long time, and this seems to be his big break.
They've spent a lot of the stage in the top two and that's where they sit at the moment up there just behind EP
looking tired for both points and round difference with the Chiefs and
Technically according to my calculations. They just need one round out of this game to lock impacts
One round is all in need. Yeah, okay
I mean I would love to be in the roster you guys if we just win a single around
We can lock in our own ticket and don't care about any of the match results and
potential clashes with score lines and type rates and whatnot. And 7th, they got a pretty
decent map pool to work with, whether it's going to be the Chalet, the Cafe, the Fortresses.
I feel like that I have a pretty good shot here in the best of one environment because
they can dig deep when it comes to the map pool. That's something that's going to change
obviously going into the best of 3s, but that's an issue for much later.
Yeah, there's a lot still at stake here for 7, of course. I'm sure that these
players are gunning not just for packs but for the Osaka major with the upsets that we've seen so far
anything is possible and a lot of yellow players as well Park for example you know haven't really
casted him up until this stage Bailey's been kicking around in the scene for a hot minute
and now seven find themselves so close to the top but technically not guaranteed as of yet.
Oh man, I'm curious to see from these guys what they have to show on the server.
It's all priced there actually one of these main operators was gonna be the Monty so it's
being about their opponent is not having a lot of shield price ends. These guys is might,
we see Nebsi support staff behind them. We've had a pleasure of speaking to them a couple
of times ourselves. Seems to be a lap with a good head and shoulders. Always praising
and the discipline, the structure, the basic fundamentals of the game, usually trying to
play a very stable round of Rainbow Six Siege, you know, that picture perfect sort of approach.
Yeah, very much so. Very shortly we're going to get to see the teams going head to head,
but before we do that, let's have a look at a graphic that looks at the stage two stats from
both of these teams. Interesting to see that the entry stats are actually better
the circular spheres. Of course, circular spheres have higher numbers in general, but that's because
they've played more rounds. Seven have actually had quite a few dominant performances so far.
You look back at their results in a 7-1 of a male LFO in the opening game,
and then a pretty hot win streak over Chikademy Arcade and Anios, they took EP
over time, but they did lose out to Chiefs. So now the question is, can Seven
both the stat of only losing games to
Chiefs and EP because that would be a
huge one if they can take it
Circulus Fierce down and lock in the
playoffs right now but let's see what
map will be going to because we've
actually seen a lot of different maps
played already by both of these teams
with Minor Villa that's gone with
Minor Fortress that's gone. She's in
Shelly and Knighthaven labs both very
aggressive maps about the entries
about the bit of map space control
and very small kind of boxes to
fight in and it will become that night haven picked by seven. Circular spheres get the
starting sight and no surprise there, they call the attack the usually favorite side
to be. Yeah and I mean for circular spheres there's so much riding on this, they're spot
at packs on the line and they really can't afford to drop any rounds here because at
the moment they sit on 10 points in fifth place on the standings whereas Manila Foe
have 13 points, 3 whole points above them and a plus 5 round difference to the plus 0 from
Circular Spheres. Now the way that the tiebreaker works is we could well see 4 teams tied on
13 points after this game, right? If Circular Spheres win in regulation, 7 will be on 13
points, cheese will be on 13 points, mannolophob will be on 13 points and Circular Spheres
will be on 13 points, which means it comes down to how that crazy tiebreaker works.
And it's not as simple as just counting the round difference between the teams, because
when we have multiple teams tied, we also have to factor in the round difference specifically
between those teams, not the whole league.
So it's a really complicated system.
We're going to be trying to do the calculations and run it to you, but what really matters
here is quite simply circular spheres they need a full three point win out of
this game and seven if they get any points if they just get six rounds they
are absolutely guaranteed even just one or two rounds I'm pretty sure we're
still guaranteed a pace on round difference so let's see what will happen
tonight here in lapses again a very exciting map to watch there should be
a lot of early action bit of problem solving on those external wall and
Breaches, Genitial for Bombs at rushes as well.
It's a map that can have a bit of everything.
Between these two, I don't have a personal favorite, but I would like to see craziness.
Just throw the most chaotic result out there to make the whole day super messy.
High Benderway, Thermite Benderway, followed up by the Mirror and the Grim.
The Alberta Bands, they follow the usual line of Waldeny focus here for the attackers
to simplify the very first step in the round.
Gotta pick less of those niche operators to try to deal with the wall.
There's gonna be the maverick to trick it open, or there's a fear downstairs, or a bunch of different EMPs.
If they start facing some struggles against the bandit, it could become a bandit band on the third rotation.
If not, you cannot keep that open as a flexible bandit, if you want, for any other obstacles, whatever that will be.
I'm looking back we haven't seen 7 show us this map of labs so far we've only seen circular
spheres play at once.
I think you and I plastered that.
It's the dominant 7-1 for man-hello-fo.
The circular spheres really have their work cut out for them but also 7 going to a map
that they showed us.
There's a little bit of a gamble.
I see Nezarati is hiding the Norpik hoping to bait out the shield from 7 which seems
to be working. Finally he'll move and start helping with the setup, but Trez is not re-kicking
off of that Blacklist, so the Nord will have a chance to battle out with that Blacklist here.
One of the few things that you might need to do if you're playing Nord to high success with the
attacker re-kicking obviously in the game, you have the whole drone phase to change to any
attacker that you would like. If you see the Nord, you think, hmm, there he shoot comes,
So let me go off the shield, so hiding it can go a long way, although it doesn't mean
that you automatically win the round or get the kill on the shield just because you have
to nor, but it does give you another way of potentially dealing with the operator.
See what happens.
I'm not sure I can find themself on the right location on the map to kind of match precedent
one to one here in the server.
I wonder is 7 gonna focus on Rome hunting these players down below because if they don't
those nitrous cells, particularly from Goofed, could be deadly.
Goofed.
He's Goofed in the round.
Seen a bit of a two-draft freestyle in the eastern wall.
Mr. Sword Mock you.
By the way, very nice name there, good sir.
in King electrified the wall and slowing things down and this is often why we see the bandit and
the kiteband being paired together because if you get locked on the external walls as an attacker
you're all waiting for a bunch of nothing because the wall has to be opened up as the very first
to get that pressure inside the building and I think seven are getting hard stuck right now
I mean I see all the silhouettes the capital fires or via charges there's been so much
useful across the map and they've actually jumped in catwalk window and that's going to be the
the way the breaker wall opened. They forced the bandit back by taking the entire space
of the telegraphers, but this has burned so much time and like I said, a ton of that super
high value useful that they would have liked to use for the bomb site.
Great opening though for Pinky with Goof going down, the Roma down below eliminated.
And seven getting close to that bomb site. Ken Nezorati get active with the North
when he sees president playing as Blackbeard.
He's trapped in a little bit of a corner,
gets the damage and the injure.
And then the finish off onto Bailey.
And now seven should know very well
that there is a gnaw onside as a lash out from Karma.
Also gets the down.
Good refrag though from Tuck as King finally finished off.
Back and forth here, but circular spheres
are still holding on the bomb site.
Pinku looking for a revive down the lonely garage.
Oh wow, good lash out from Karma.
Trader back overheats a little bit, tries to take too much control, but now, IT has been retaken.
Oh, the default carry, are you kidding me?
That's a devastating loss here for 7th. They shouldn't be able to win this round.
Prez is soloing from CC stairs.
As PinkQ tries to get back inactive, Nezorati can completely gatekeep President from having any impact with the Norr in this round.
The fire will keep him at bay present, has to pull it on out again as Sword holds onto his position.
There's a righty goes down. Thank you Walsh to help that out as sword has to clutch up in the 1v2
The plan starts to go down from prayers Walsh looks to try and cover the position
But the plan denied by sword and seven fumble the round circular spheres starting strong
Such a close run there is also any small moments happening with the evil Camonguerra is not shot
I mean they gives you so much intel for circular spheres to know where the attack is happening from and having us already there with the gadget of
of Nord is stalling for so much time on Aqua, kinda 1v1'ing against the Blackbeard.
No one's really dying or taking that much damage, necessarily, but the time origin
favor of the defense always comes down to a C4 and a 1v2 to get their round victory,
but a round win is a round win. 7 extremely slow there on their opening attack around,
getting stalked is because of the Fankin 2 Brawl. Despite having Sophia downstairs,
Despite having the camps of fire arrows it took up way too much time to get to this point around where they could go for an
Execute and it lost all their smokes and lost all their fire
It didn't have the ways to enable the operators like to capture the glass to get the maximum amount of value
Wow, I'm still trying to run the numbers here
He's still running numbers
Yeah, it's actually so much more complicated than I thought, man.
It is so much more complicated than I thought.
I mean, really, you said right now...
There's a chance that 7 can still get 5th place.
Really?
Yeah, there is still a chance.
If CS win in regulation, it depends on the round difference here.
Noting new magazine.
But I'm pretty confident that if seven just in one round, then they guarantee that the worst they can end up is a plus five round difference, which is the same as man, which means they should make it through.
Not my job, thankfully. Not a numbers card, gotta say it.
I would get it wrong if I had to try and calculate all those numbers.
So it was just like do what the players do, just focus on the game at hand
and the winner will win. And that's the X-Acto, that's it, it would be simple.
It's a lot of information here from the attack though.
Solid Snake, the Lion, the Deimos, different ways of getting intel, but they're all doing the exact same thing.
And Sword is trying to jiggle peek off the window here against Keaton's LMG, but DMR, so why are we doing it?
His teammate doesn't even swing on the close contact here, so they're just feeding the kill for free, like what are we doing guys?
Yeah, I feel like maybe if Nezorati swung immediately after his teammate died that could have been a trade
But that's an unfortunate staff of circular spheres
Every round counts which is trying to beat the round difference from Manila foe
Round we're gonna go out
a little bit of chemistry
See if you can find a bit more value down beneath the
the holes in the floor.
Circular spheres don't have a ton of ways to reel it back in this round, like a single
AC4 in the pocket of King and a flying here from Naseradi.
One of those two have to find the kill somewhere to get back into this one.
The line continues ringing out, but I don't know if the Radek get detected.
This King is just waiting.
gets caught out and Pinku finds a second kill from the exact same external window whilst
joins the fray.
And now Nezaharadi shut down, Circulus Fierce just have two players left up.
I'll stand over here, we're spinning down the staircase, Goot finds the demos are free.
It's running over yet, two or three more to kill here happening, doesn't seem like
it.
Pharma has to come in with the pistol as well, win that second fight but Prey
Shut some on down now. It's goofed no 1v3 15 seconds, but Prez has to force that plant down
No, you till just the trusty gun here from to see the first one doesn't get the kill yet
Denies the plan I cannot trade another one and for seven they do find their first round of the game
And with that I believe that does lock them as well for packs
There's no way that they will drop below man ill of foe
beautiful I mean the question is do they know the exact round count at stake or is
it matter if like I said just play to win page of the game is finished it's a
little bit scrappy right now from circular spheres and there's a lot of some
people like resting some people are falling back it's all over the the
place and some out of talk all says that your game plan five guys running
around like a certain kind of animal I think it was saying it'll catch the
of that seems nice okay yeah no it's always getting lippy with it
circular spheres really can't afford to lose many rounds here because the way that
the round difference works is manlifo guaranteed to lock in at plus five
round difference even if circular sphere is winning regulation if they win
75 they'll only have a plus two round difference, which means that they need a
Boy you love this one if we get the four man tiebreaker a three-man tiebreaker
Whatever you'll see that it's gonna be a different stat line to calculate after games
It's round difference and then head-to-head and then map wind percentage and then round wind percentage and then a tie-breaker match.
Yeah, map wind percentage round wind percentage. I imagine.
Again, the craziness of the final plating.
As well as next presence today, Aswin felt very much so in the first game and also started between the second.
Not been banned to win either matches just yet.
Benefit of these small maps like Night Heaven is that you have so much value with the scanner.
Sorati is now going to replace me more than the north and the solace and the vitual.
Usually about the solo play, put this guy on an island to give him the gadgetry to enable himself to find a bit of success in the server.
Well, it's finally a kill, denying information, installing for time.
The vitual does a bit of all of that.
In this case, it's hard to find him, not to catch him.
He's got a spare in-picture pocket for any quick rotation to get out of any dangerous spot.
Still, Pinko is just loving that window.
He could always lock it up with the key to the higher, but why do you want to do
much because that theo marker quickly rips through it.
He actually falls.
Raleigh with the ram and Savanna looking really, really solid here.
Two-way advantage, Bailey tosses out the Ramboogie, and time for the floor to save it by.
Circular Spheres falls back towards the bomb site, but that's gonna be just into Sevin's waiting arms once that verse starts to get torn up.
CS really need to lash out, and they just sit back away, nothing gonna happen there.
There's the worst, Walsh finds another one to sword, some circular spheres, the same
fate again it feels like individuals falling apart step by step, solo fight, two players
now left being called out there by Tomato Talk in the chat, Callman and Goof, and the
same thing, they're trying to desperately look for a kill off against the verticality
but it's an angle to work so much against them, and Goof does find one.
A little more, deal comes out, really the pressure is on, calm down dude.
If they get forced back by the Util, the third is Sassanier, dude finally goes down.
Calm down in the 1v4, and the Nades flushed him out, there's no way he can survive that.
And Pinky will finish him off, grey round there from 7.
Second round on the board and if my calculations are correct CS cannot afford to lose any more rounds from here on out
We're gonna how it's going right now. I think that this inevitable they're unable to stabilize in these rounds a second the first player falls
The third operator ban is coming to effect
Who as I said could be a solid snake could be a monkey on the flip side
I don't know if you want to go for like the band did to simplify the wall preaching or something else
Solace actually being talked about the way and this will become the solid snake
So a lot about the information and roaming presence there
Despite the solace only having value in a single around. It did not want to deal with it in the grounds to come
Yeah, I mean you could see that over came a band that solid snake when they're playing vigil a triumph dog shit
7 are just looking very well regimented and for a map that we haven't seen in play they're coming through this strong
It's a very good sign going into stage finals. That's when 7 will truly be tested
Up against teams like chiefs and enterprise who they have failed to defeat so far in BO1s when we get to stage finals
It's all BO3s. It's all on LAN as well
Which is gonna be a very different environment a new environment for most of these players
Prez played at tier 2 LAN about a year ago, but hasn't played at tier 1 and I believe
Bayley also has played at a 2 tier LAN, but I don't think any of these other players from
side have played it before.
Going to a land build, zero ping, mid of noise in the arena and the packs in the
specific convention.
It's a very different environment in general as a player and very often your first few
land events, it's all about adaptation and getting a feel for how to navigate that.
So it's always a fun time, the really truly is, the highest level of the game,
the best experience possible, the SN3s, I course talk to a lot about it.
It's all about enjoying the experience every single time because it is a privilege to go to
a land event, it's a privilege to qualify, to defend from the crowd.
While the soloist being target bent away though it does leave open the exact same thing
thing is the first time on this bum side of top floor banded and two brawl combination
seven so far struggling all the same against it despite again the three big
booms beneath there from the Sophia of Walsh they're seemingly rotating off the
main wall of IT to go somewhere else because they connect they cannot quite
break through that barrier
Yeah, you can see CCS really want to have some success on this drone.
Goofd is just not looking confident at all.
So this drone makes one down, seven.
What's their next step though?
On to this top floor.
Last time they primarily went for a garage take, but in the end it was actually a last
at pushing with the blackbeard through top of loot of CC where goofed is right now that ended up winning the round for me
same story again to go in the cat window cat walk door that way they work through work the beach right there
we'll get at the lineup here there's a single Selma charge last one i just spent here on the
more than just bombsite, so a very limited way inside here for the attack of 7, and impact
trick out at you, so now you can peek through this breach, but you should not walk on in.
So Glass falls into a single goal away, the buyer can come and doesn't reach, he's safe
in this corner and somehow he's staying alive.
That's incredible, the fact that Karma has been afforded to survive, but as he tries
to retreat he does get traded by Tark.
King lashes out for one, in this exact same breach where most of the battle is happening between these two teams.
CS no longer have a C4 on Nezarati down below, but King does have one, he rips it out, just tossed it.
I don't think he's, yeah, I think he's better now, that's no success as well unfortunately.
So CS are running out of options, they don't have a lot going for them, now Goof falling to Walsh means that 7,
Just moments away from next to the bomb sub to say that King is just swung for two kills make that three on the round
2v2
11 seconds to go Queen has made it a 4k trading it back
But Nezorati finds the kill for CS and they find a way to tie the score line as well
The big problem there is simply that all the attacker start outside a breach swing it in with their heads
It cannot actually walk through the breach the swimming to just a peak hole
not a lot of aqua presence with the backstab, no one taking a meeting for the backstab either.
So it becomes a bit of a tunnel vision from the side of 7.
I always like to say in the most simple terms, to attack that top of a bomb site, you gotta
have pressure in 3 of the 4 areas on the map.
The 4 areas, IT breach, catwalk, aqua, and meeting slash connector, apparently exact
quality here.
That's 4 areas.
If you're only attacking with Garage and IT, and you do not even get the breach, you have a singular door to walk in.
A defender has to worry about it.
That's why you're gonna get that third point of pressure.
Either Aqua or connector, because then all of a sudden, you're gonna attack from many different angles
and force the defenders to look in many different directions and splitting a run fire.
Because right now, look at this round.
They're just watching the breach, which they probably shouldn't have died too, to be honest, in this doorway.
all new way in and King watch they got four kills in the round and Nasa righted there with the
Reaper secondary gets the final kill
The CS it's been really hard to sit back and wait for the push to come through because seven always have different layers of U2 whether it's the
the class of the hard breach, the grim, the capitol fire, shields, even the vert as well
as the structure on this basement, daily really made it hard for CS to sit on the bomb site
with that ram.
CS, I feel like they need to do a little bit of shock at me, they need to just swing
everything that worked against me on the phone, I think if you take the fight to 7
and you start to kill some of these operators before they're able to use most of their
It could be a very different story, but for the most part CS is struggling to find that confidence
Occasionally you will find a few big gunfights like we saw from King last round, but
If the game keeps going the way it has so far then I don't think CS is going to get enough rounds to contend for stage finals
All combined here today most gives new side a good pre-fire, lands the headshot though
That's going to win the gunfight for him
One aims at the head, one aims to his level
The walls does a lot of damage to the spawns, but Guv is alive for now and Soik is in a
kill upstairs.
Again, they're vigil.
So hard to catch.
There's another player as well, fighting him, big shot from the top, though.
So close to fighting a second as well, the fedora gets targeted by the Jego payload
and Guv probably has to head, so that means very low HP and he continues to be targeted.
No punishes
And well
I don't know where that C4 came from, but Nezari's helped out his team for sure
Very much a Rome game here worked in favor of
Circular spheres, but now seven decides to just push close to that bomb site
Can't get the confirmation just yet being covered by his teammate on the corridor
7, there we go, pinco-fymatic's down king, to even numbers, 2v2, 50 seconds to go, 7 though,
limited weight into the bomb side but just down an emus, into XO, hit the second ripen
angles, try to ice that one member.
The wall, I guess the shots.
That's huge, another fire as well, we'll keep him at bay, youth cannot march forward
in fact he will die to the fire, 7 have a third round on the board and circular
spheres are seeing their chances of making it to PAX die before their very eyes.
Oh man, a tough tough tough round to happen there again.
Decent fighting early game for circular spheres but no way to like strategically get back into
it and again stabilize that base and bomb site.
It's a struggle against the verticality, it's solo roaming, no trading game and in
the 1v1s more often than not it seems like 7 are just a stronger team.
And it's also a case of being on the attacking side. You have much stronger guns
You have much stronger gadgetry when it comes to taking those fights head-on
Microsoft a famous tracker the shields information the Jones don't get because
Lion scans so many ways of making it unfair in the server
Even the vert angle. I mean it's such a one-way
Yeah, 7 look really well organized, really well regimented, they've got a good energy
about them, you can see that as well.
Haha, Faze!
Ah!
Who's up?
Love that.
Let's fake that from talk.
Speaking of Faze, have you seen Vidicang and the kind of terror that he's on right
now in the Eziel?
He's got like the most insane stats in the entire scene, right?
He hasn't had an open in death since EWC, since I finally get his GKL, whatever it was.
And he's like 13 and 0 on the entry right now.
In SAL, the craziest entry region in the world, they have like a 100% conversion rate on
opening kills or whatever.
Like it's crazy what they're doing right now in the most competitive region, most
of the argue.
And it's after winning and doing well, like often times you kind of fall off after
that but no.
Yeah, well, this is a team who's been in the top contests for a very long time and even before they won their first major
They were making major grand finals, even before they won their first 6th Invitational, they were making 6th Invitational grand finals
Now they've won two of them, AWC and a major, they've done the track factor
Best team in the world without a doubt, best team in history without a doubt
There's no surprises that people in Oast look up to them as Pinku is down there as a Radi
so a good bite of a pulse. That's one of the three C4s gone for secular spheres.
Thank you for so much from this same bloody window. Yep, you just cannot control him. You can't
do anything about him. He spends the entire round out here. Now the plant's going down.
King decides to fight onto that window. That's gonna nice little flick onto Pinkoo as well.
Nitro cells not gonna find what it's looking for though and then the one V4,
the ace is required and I don't think it's gonna be on the docket. I don't think so either.
He's stuck in a corner. Not even going for the fight. He's like, come to me. I'll get the exit
frags, but the dimwit's track and a shield, that's not gonna be a fair fight.
Comes the blitz, bit of damage in the flash, and a kill from Bayley. Seven are just completing
the circuit. Now they've already extended a lead, hit a few purple sectors. Now it's just
just about not making any mistakes,
the frustration settling in for CS.
I don't know whether they themselves have done the math
but I think they've realized their chances are gone
and seven are doing away with secular spheres.
I
4-2 split for 7 on the attacking side of Naive and Labs and week by week 7 are showing us
that they do have a strong competitive map pool. Week 1 it was all fortress then they
showed Bank Club Chalet Cafe where they took EP to overtime and now they're looking really
solid here on Labs as well. Not only are they looking like a team that can win in
be a once but if their map will hold up then be a threes could certainly be in
the conversation as well the team that's come out of nowhere in this stage looks
to continue the battle of Kate and diffuse bombs
wash I wasn't quoted when you were in napkins these players aren't that old
No, like neither of them. No, I mean when was quick see let me have a look at when King or quick see yeah
I'm looking at King right now. Let me see
Yeah, I think so too
His first name was Desire in 2023 dude
6 years before KTK just died before.
You're still this bad.
Oh man.
Savage.
He's a bit of a friend to banter.
I mean, what's the thing, right?
You've been in Pro League for so long,
but what about the LAN appearances?
You know, have you played for 2-3-4?
Are you on those winning teams?
Or just another team in APL?
I'm going to speak, cruise to market, then we chat, walks towards me down immediately.
And I like he doesn't reply as well, he doesn't buy it.
Classic.
Oh yeah.
Got a good pick from Karma.
CS.
Opening kill.
But what can they actually do?
They've got to clear the positions of the Wamai.
Tarka up here, projected by the key barriers.
Oh, stop, karma, he just walks on it, he's excited he's had enough.
Now with the glass and Zofia coming in from rafters and sword fighting his pick onto Bailey.
Hold on a second, CS might have a little bit of something after all, Pinkoot,
who's been unbelievable with the DMRs on the attacking side, now comes to life with the
Scorpion on the defensive. King on the floor, but Prez immediately traded back again. It's
In a 1v3 there's a couple of fights his third in the round, Scorpion's gonna have to sink for him.
He has to make this work in circular spheres, they're just gunning for it.
They finally pick up King, a minute and a half left.
Locked in this round, they know exactly where he is, it's a 4k for Karma.
He took that smack talk personally and a great start to the second half.
Such a simple approach, walking, get the kills, take a catwalk, take the bombsite, find all the headshots.
Headshots is simplified man. Don't even make it that complicated
And it goes to show that if you have that confidence net faster the punch approach to the play style
You don't have to get stuck by the outside breach and try to deal with the bandit and everything else
You can just walk in and play the FPS game of Rainbow Six Siege
It comes down to seven being aware and being ready for those fights to happen
I mean if you're playing that catwalk Raptors position
Yes, there are what comes to worry about, what's beneath you, bottom of the staircase,
garage, external door, the breach, the window, but your ultimate job here is to simply stay alive
and was looking towards the door, looking for the fight, he chose to swing and he got shot down
and when he dies he put his team in a much more awkward position
as no one could comfortably retake against the normal airjab set where we were located there on the rotation
So an awkward spot to be in, defense will just kind of go again
And it's early stages here for the sideswap so nothing too crazy to worry about just yet
If you're talking about
Whether you just chill now that you've locked in playoffs to you continue pushing
We're searching for drones waiting for the entries it's gonna wash again early in the fight right now so eager to get in the action
has to be careful though, scored by the fallen trap, still loses out, Carmen out two for two
in rounds, takes down Walsh as the first member, Sarati is injured on the ground though, king
again with the question, Mario instead of king continue to go this way forward, and
find a second defender stalking Kitchen, maybe has the most advantage in the vending
machine but either way has to get out of there as fast as possible.
Sneaking up.
My deployable shield though.
His talk is shut down.
See, that's not a bit of fire.
On their attacking side, two opening kills.
It'd be quite funny if the moment when CS starts to show a little bit of energy is right after they get statistically eliminated from making stage finals.
I don't think they know it yet, but I'm pretty confident they can't make it.
I'm not sure neither, they're up there in their hearts out.
Seven are kind of falling apart here, defense and knight-heaven maps proving quite difficult
for both teams so far.
And it's again that lack of stability on the base and domeside, you just don't have
a way of playing it out to its entirety.
But early fighting, point of the 50-50s and kind of let that determine the round.
go daily and press is kind of waiting down time and now that it gets worse they
keep on falling again to individual fights no trading game whatsoever this
time a sword's turn to get that kill
oh nice little flick finds one trade immediate from Nezorati prez 1v4 ECSG
is a very strong weapon but I think this is gonna hand out for a plant spot
should be very safe here for Nezahar, even with low HP, Khamis gone deep. He's really turned it up with the ARX on that Nomad and
the circular spheres now it's slew of rounds in a row on this attacking side. No one can seem to fight any
success on defense so 7 will take their tactical time out to discuss what they want to do.
Okay, so they are trying the damn hardest, does not find any correct results. I wouldn't mind seeing a bigger
from a commitment to the roam game or the opposite where you just like don't have any roaming presence really at all
but playing that awkward middle ground of these two defenders is just full sending it and these other three defenders are full hiding
because if the roam game isn't successful and you're in that 3v5
You cannot hide. You can't play the timer down. This is not gonna work
You gotta now start lashing out regardless
So full commitment either you fight together or you fall back together less solo play more team play
Once Ned's you saying to the team right now I wonder
Two different bomb sites have been taken
to no success now a return to command service
on the top floor. One more round and we see an operator ban
can be brought out. At this point I wonder what seven are thinking about whether it's going to be the Grim
Honestly I'd even consider the Nomad onto Carmen. I don't think he's
the airchops are actually really good for guaranteeing that once you have control of an area, it can't be retaken.
And despite the 7 banning away the Sola Snake and Daen-Los, they're still been struggling with the aggression of the attack.
It's not even that the attackers are springing into the building and just taking some crazy gunfives.
It's that seven are choosing to meet them early in the rounds and again individually losing the battles
Right now we're seeing stuff like the battle not being supported by the two browser a bit more tricky here tough to get the value
But I want to see him be protected and a sound barrier by a second day gone to enable him to play on that external wall
For as long as he needs to to get a little bit more value than previously. So again slow down the round
So I'm watching for right now hand being able to
Scared of pink who if I'm on the circular spheres side here. He's been so good on that attacking side and now on defense
He's got that scorpion is continuing to run
The group's not with him
The banner factories are going to be destroyed by an explosion, and now the bridge can come through for more.
From the sword.
So the single Soviet charge downstairs denies the entire banditry.
And we saw the sideswap earlier, rather before we saw the sideswap.
Seven tried spinning a fire arrow from capital three Sophia charge. They still couldn't quite break it as easily so
Really could that value problem of solving from the first step?
What would that be since seven has five to finish alive at the halfway point of the round?
So a big win for them to you can comfortably hold cow walk
They can fall back. They can stick around. Let's see how much value walls can get this one because for now
He's actually just alive
The Walsh has been victim first on the defensive side for two rounds in a row and really targeting
my circle of spears.
He really has to have an impact here, even just staying alive in the massive, but it's
another round in a row where Walsh is the first victim, a second one found as well.
Karmada traded back, finally.
Breath, 4-7, and temptation to lash out as well from Pinky, he takes a lot of damage.
No more smokes available for Nezawaddy.
CES, a bit of a standstill.
Remember that's the theory about 3 points of pressure.
Just IT, just catwalk is too simplistic.
You see how 7 or so were about to connect the door,
but there's no way to actually come there on the attacking side.
There should have been, there hasn't been.
So now they rotate, player IT, player catwalk,
and the third guy outside could go for a backstep anywhere on this map.
30 seconds to go, so you gotta do it soon.
It's found though, Pinku overheating, looking to pick a little bit too much.
It's given a chance now.
Nezzarotti puts prayers in a 1v3, and the continuation of the attacking dominance from CS,
not even a tactical timeout for 7, can stop it.
Now the operator bands can come through another chance to talk to the coaches here,
here for both teams. CS have taken the lead and are actually on the verge of taking them out.
I don't think you've been abandoned here because you're doing quite a good job at dealing with it.
So maybe a Sami because it's played so frequently or the solace or the Allah to enable the shield
perhaps in the interest in general. On the other side it has been the glass that I can definitely
back because it's been quite hard to play up against. Not a ton of warden presence. It's
it's gonna be the Assamio Forge often in that frontal battle.
But if you're back in the Ella, I really want to see the shields come to action.
Yeah, you really have to use those shields now, but C.S.
If none band against them, they're not showing any at the moment.
Really, ideally, you want to be
grabbing as many of those shields as you can
while that LR is down-down.
Now that they've lost the glies,
which has been their main way of brute-forcing these issues,
I feel like a black bin would be huge here.
The nades are trying to force out these power positions, the ADS.
Good to take those fights, move them more aggressively.
Even a gig for the circular sphere is just
not showing a lot of spice in these rounds.
No.
Just same setup for the most part.
I mean, giving it a single isn't all that bad, but when you have a glass, it gets target-banned away.
I feel you want to try and substitute that with something else.
As I said, the yin could be the capital, it could be a shield operator, there's anything of spice.
Instead, we get a glitch in the basement, solo walking in.
Not the end of the world to you, though, because it is that tertiary bomb site in the middle of the building.
Even that pressure in beneath is going to be quite good.
good but had it been in some vl or a bark or a demos i know demos has been the way here
maybe you could apply some pressure on the president playing by that side whereas because it's that
sledgehammer you can just watch the basement to wait out for potential c4 or talk on the
solace for example and just deny the inability to go to the temple now and it's alright it
he doesn't find anything downstairs so I'll go up instead.
Temptation to go for a vert here for a tarp.
Just holding his line, waiting to see us to make the first move. His karma solo takes
the material across with those air jets but again they haven't cleared out that
They don't have any brute force in U2, like the glass, like the ying, like the shields.
It's a plan that's going to be impossible unless if they clear out players on the top floor.
And deny any bad enough advancement as well.
They're just too slow at making that progress.
Oh, swing around the corner.
Hengu successfully takes down Goofd again.
Losing Grimm early. Losing that Obster is a bit of pressure.
and Serati maybe for a back step towards the the bomb site itself in Kakao
hallway but they have no information if only you had to sell a snake that was
counter banned in the very first opening pick Bailey finds Karman is a tag it
has no teeth yeah one out of steam here for CS 7 still have control above the
bomb site they still have a player on the bomb site itself even if CS were to
kill prez and start to put pressure on that bombsite look for a plant so much
ability to plant and I hear it from seven but this is now found Bailey he
really needs to win this fight it's a little damage double pig from pink who
and Walsh perfect takes them down and now top floor control seemingly
uncontested Nez has to find his way inside try and support sword who has
now fallen it's a 1v4 I know exactly where Nez is they'll try and peak him
together think who claims to kill and with that seven tie it back again five
rounds apiece
there are those hatches never came to life again they're fishing from the
beginning and they kept fishing in the middle and they didn't find anything so
the fishing was ended by the defenders saying the stronger positions are
waiting at the timer building that advantage over and over again want
to see a bit more productivity from circular spheres like was on the
previous rounds right good hot breeching they had the glass to power up the
bomb side the karma was getting super active and the entry with Nomad that was
the fear when I saw the inline open okay the glass is gone and nothing has
replaced it what now well said we'll go to the fourth option bombs into
kitchen that's a bit of spice for you right there but look at this just
didn't have a lot of fight in them there was double swing those were
seven they were successfully so even just a stature load up top no value
they're on the sledge hammer and never found the verticality towards the bomb side.
And now the clash has come through, circular spheres in theory, they've got no lad but
I don't know if they'll actually use it to kill that clash. Again, CS, not running shields,
I'm not running the game, I'm running a lot of counters to the clash either, they're going to play about 3rd
the info gathering is from Prez in this round
CS have a hell of a lot of work to do and 7th are setting up a very creative extension here for this unusual bombsite choice
I love it.
My Jager with the clash, high holding down, Loppy in the staircase, controlling a lot
of the unusual map space for the side, actually.
And I do believe that this bomb set of Kitchen on Nightingale and Laps, it is playable, but
only if you have the clash.
That gives you a bit of hallway control, a bit of retake ability, some staying power,
enables this exact spot from Pinky as well, supporting each other.
It's very important though if you're a 7 you don't over rotate right now
If you walk away from Loppy and a single attack on walks in you are not getting that control back unless you are the clash
So no guns can go back into that spot
Seven are gonna be the restless. They're worried about the setup elsewhere. They start walking around the building
spreading out how to gather information
In between the damage from the dookity goal just tanks it
The screers are attacking from a lot of different angles, a bit upstairs and a bit downstairs.
Slow attack here from C.S.
There's a pig that's trained back immediately by Pinko on the bomb site, the MP5K.
Hell of a game from him, 13 kills.
Toma almost finding tough but Tux heard him, still doesn't save his life.
What does the camera give him enough warning to win that fight?
Before you know it, it's Walsh against the world.
Still upstairs, Circular Spheres picked apart this defense one kill at a time.
Now Walsh, who's been targeted in the old chat, is now being targeted in the server.
1v4, plant goes down, E1D immediately roars out from the Azeradi.
You can see Karma wants to go for this kill.
Walsh will take him down, but guess who's hiding behind that clash shield?
It's King and Circular Spheres get their match point.
A bit of a statement made, even if they are not able to make stage finals, to take 7 all
the way to a 12th round here and potentially win the game regardless, 7 might be sweating
a little bit.
You've got to have a little bit more gusto than this if you want to be contending for
that spot at the Osaka Major.
Also again, if you look at a team that's supposed to be going to the LAN off-packs and the level
that they're displaying right now, it's not really high enough.
Maybe they're holding back, I'm not entirely certain, but we need to do a lot more.
Calm the stage finals.
Circular stairs, Lunti has done here 7-5.
Where's your 7?
Well, you gotta push your team now.
the only way back into this to get that victory wash either first dead or last
alive in what seems like every single round on the sideswap. It's having a hard
time finding his footing in this game.
Final round of regulation, Pengu. Down to the basement. We go for seven. The only
bombsite they've won on the defense is actually storage and control. Even this
Spaceman bombsite was not successful. They only got a single kill when they played this bombsite before.
So there's a very real chance CS winners in regulation get the three points that they needed to be competitive.
But unfortunately the tie breakup won't be enough. Even a 75 win here, circular spheres end up on a plus two round difference.
Whereas above them, man LFO are on a plus five.
Seven will end up also on 13 points, but on a plus 10 round difference. Chiefs currently on a plus 11 round difference with the potential to drop as
deep as a plus four, which means that CS will still be on the outside of those four different
teams, by the way, tied on 13 points. Insane. That's going to be the closest we've seen
in OCE, perhaps ever. I don't think we've ever had four teams in playoffs contention
tied for fourth, the same number of points. It's for a moment when you're going to a
land event as well to guarantee who goes to the major, not just for an online
finals as it often is so it's super exciting so much to play for so much to
be gained dreams shattered on the final playday we got necessarily the walk in
with the doc could be here's the phone call going off and now knows hey guys I
think a person cornered here right next to me it's gonna be a Walsh on the
solace Armac get in the action guys help me out drone him but take it to
55 there's no flash being available you do not want to go first in here you
one back up first.
You kill him.
Really? Still on his position, but upstairs the real target as well.
She wins his fight against Nezarati, that'll be a confidence booster.
Ansys his phone immediately and that will save his life.
5v2.
Sword and King, the last ones alive as he continues battling on this narrow angle.
And Tuck will finish off King. It's gonna be OT here.
Sword 1v5.
Close to that defuser. Upstairs, the defences got it on lock, and they've got the OT on lock as well.
Floorless round defending the basement. Our second OT for the night in OCE.
The first game was the match of a banger though, and this one is a bit of a K7 actually wake up and get the job done.
It seems like yes, maybe very convincing around victory
Circular spheres not one just unable to actually go for the 2v1s
I mean they catch a player super alone upstairs inside of IT and they never go for a proper punish play
It comes down to a point where had Nassarite not swung off the contact the second time
You could play off the Dukubi phone
He did enough damage with the first swing that the Dukubi gadget would have gotten the kill confirmation
Now he might not have known that but you can see with Okabe whatever a defender is answering the phone call
You can try and keep them to do that make the phone call blow up do that extra bit of holy damage for free
If they're fighting if they're free then go for the second swing
They're just kind of simplifying these rounds a little too much my liking
Seven up the top floor with the bandit the clash again being super frustrating in a server
And now of course hiding the operator clash here behind the cabinet inside of commando
We're 7 pushing OT here, they've actually got another point on the standing which means
we won't have 14 tied on the OT which is very sad, I really think that would have been
hilarious, but it actually means that 7 is now tied for points with Enterprise in first
place which means that if 7 win this game outright, if they win it in overtime in the
next two rounds or two of the next three rounds and Enterprise lose their game, 7
will actually end up first place. Unless of cheese poison regulation, but there is a
world where seven end up champions of the group stage, but very unlikely considering
that EP have a relatively easy game against a team who hasn't got anything in the league.
Okay.
We're looting!
I'm certainly going to land. I want to have to go in with confidence that you've
One your final match instead of losing to a team that didn't even make it for Kiles.
Good old air jab there and the impact.
Turn the rotation right up to the Kallegastres.
Classic Monkama.
Tank it, debate it.
Yeah, that's bait.
Monkuma, your problem.
They really want to try and harass the Monzi and get aggro when D-Waltz will take down Kama.
He's come to life the last few rounds, a second one for him as well, supported by the band that upstairs from Tark.
Seven really have woken up now, but Inku goes down.
CS looked to desperately try and refrag, he's played it on the rafters.
Still no clear way of dealing with these Keeva barriers.
And a lagging that pressure from outside.
Probably a shock shield, an active ability.
Again, it's a very linear attacker from circular spheres.
Open the month you can just walk on in and make all the magic happen, but they get shut down to play behind the thighs to
Swing from all still unnecessary
King gets the I said the question like in the channel
Why are we doing that you guys in a 4v2 or 4v3 with a clash rather a full catwalk control and you swing us as
Disrespectful right there still time to play here still winnable for second of Spears
target there
grim bees and now hybrids can come out from hoops
out it goes
oh the grim bee is going to go out as well
huck tries to fails to get the bandit juggle off
so yes now av ways into the bomb site
didn't count them out this has been an attack as nighthaven labs today
I'm not sure if that flash got no way of dealing with the Operator.
There's no frackerness in the pocket of King.
Over the character downstairs.
The backstab and good timing here could make a different group.
Finds one.
There's actually a way to potentially sneak around him.
Indeed, there is massive kill there from Goofs.
Press has fallen.
It's Bayley at 1v3.
Ammo trickling away here in the SMG-11 out comes a shot, but King will take
came down circular spheres another match point opportunity against seven even
though they are not making it to the playoffs there's still a way to salvage
their stage with the win here finish it off I mean clearly it matters to these
players
I'm waiting so I'm a little bit very very justified question mark though from
king I mean what are we doing swinging in that 4v3 I do not understand I mean
you get to put the clash on the call grafters and it's like the most
unkillable position to be in can fall back play by the bottom side they're
also missing the feed holes in the aqua hallway wall so groove works in
for free kills the bandit wall bangs the clash like they're just playing so scared
like right here how is no watching the gap war wasn't very kid if I by the
short wall wasn't in force no fetal was nothing it's a complete surrender towards
the attackers giving away too much space for free so guys fears they can do the
funny they can now take the victory if they can find their way to get by
I
Thank you, tell me what would pay you do
You know one before over time because it's not throwing happening this game
You
I think they know it to I mean it's one of those games where I feel like they both know what's on the line of possibility
possibility, you know, given the score lines and the match results, and it's becoming a
show match, more so than a pro league match.
Is that a that or they are blatantly trolling?
I have to say.
Now, I'm all, you know, I'm one for a long playday.
You know, we worked at EML last night, we had the longest broadcast day of EML,
lot of tech pauses, lot of e-hosts, lot of long matches and over times and whatnot.
And it's okay.
You know, you get your six, maybe seven hours of sleep,
you're bagging it for F4Os,
and they're doing the exact same thing.
It's all about the pain right now.
I am the biggest Circulators fan right now
for them to lock it in, A-to-Six.
Yeah, I mean, it would be a very bittersweet moment
for CES, but it feels much needed at this point.
I'll help them set it a little bit
after the way that they've gassed each other off,
Walsh, who really has turned it up in these last few rounds finds karma.
The Dreadmine shot out as well with the Monty in tow seven poised.
Pounce on that bomb site.
Wow, the pressure has to be very careful here. A couple of counters, a C4 downstairs,
nor by the bomb site. So how you can catch a nor is just you play by this kind of,
you know a wall if you get shot by the north gadget you walk past the corner
you hold there if you pull out the fire you're fine but if you walk deep into the bomb side
you can just walk on back to free that's something so scary although nor is now dead so
let's press your tools press just that c4 downstairs from the valkyrie now you can
stop marching on forward if they would check out the valkyrie there's gonna give them
and lasted until that they need.
Now Prez is in plant position, goes for the turtle plant.
Bailey though, gets spotted.
Retake might be available here, but ooh, wow, plant denied.
The problem here for Seven is they can't walk in the breach,
so the only way they can get back to revive Prez
and go for a replant is by coming from the electrical door.
That's exactly where King is waiting right now.
It is a 1v3, and he can't find all of those kills,
so Seven will dig deeper.
And we go another round further in overtime.
Pengu, it's back to back.
15 round is here on OCEA tonight.
That is the chaos playing here right now.
I'm in the final matchup.
We got to get all the reps in all the practice,
all the last bit of action for the fame, for the glory.
Seven, seven, Otsi against Sword.
All right.
Who takes it, Pengu?
I think circle is uh, yeah, I think circle is fear is a good chance. You're like base and bomb side has been rough for the defense
on both sides
It's not been too pretty
Yeah, I'm actually a little bit too primed to go for it
What would all this is cyber you're gonna drop 25 kills a while ago and there's we's double hammer like the guy is
so good and it's funny because cyber is one of those players that doesn't get
spoken of or mentioned all that often. I feel like the majority of SEL they
live on their own island, they rock up internationally and they show just how
good they are, they go back home, we all forget, they come back three months later
and they prove it again how good they are. Cyberans face them for example,
they've been going for so long man, they've been going over so many years at the highest level,
is disgusting how consistent they are.
When every other organization and team is making a roster change, they stick together.
People trying to reinvent the wheel, they just perfect their own.
And how you counter that right now in the current landscape of uncertainty, like we
spring of EML, right, Falcons, your G2, etc. supposed to do great things internationally.
G2 isn't qualifying at the time and Falcons fall short very often.
So they just leave this gap of pace with them to take and they've done that the
last few years.
oh oh wash or this right is future on the blades there is a gas canister but I
think it's got a shot maybe if not this could be a hot oh there you go
the gas pipe gets Nezahrahi that's a hell of a way to get off the final round
again with the bang for Walsh. 15 kills. He really has turned it on. He had a couple of
quiet rounds there. He was opening kill four out of five rounds in a row and now opening
death three rounds in a row has actually been palmer. He's managed to hold on for this
round as sword finds a pick. Bad nitro call from Goof. Come on guys, lock in two rounds,
two minutes left of your stage. We're mid game. It is seven, seven and a half rounds
go we're still alive we're still fighting no i come as dead
yeah karma finished off he had a few moments where he was really impactful here for cs but
very hot and cold as has the whole team been today if not activated nice read there rejigging
which of the fenre mines are active from tuck he still holds onto this top floor but makes
is you to prioritize the bomb site itself.
The attack's been halted completely.
No blitz, no pushing power, no intel operators.
There's gonna be a ram, ace and ash working together.
None of which really have gattertree that can support his success
in the game.
So what's in the movie?
I thought we were into the primary and the secondary
while we're still waiting for the round two.
We've got two more attackers in the server
that could be right around the corner.
What no
Oh my god
He has been instrumental
He's in the stairs
You lose this after emptying two mags into the body, the BM may come back to bite him, CS,
forcing that plant down, the pre-fire, the angle, the damage on the players, the king,
some exits, four circular spheres, it will take down seven and while they don't make it to the
players they have salvaged a little bit of their pride today. What is happening, what is going on,
or flexing in the server out the server. Oh my days. I don't even know what I do. I think
King came off the plan with 0.1 second left to go for the kill. At least it looks like it's on
my screen. I mean either way, ridiculous couple of sequences. And maybe just maybe instead of
emptying the 5.7 magazine, he should have gotten back to the bottom side a little bit quicker.
That's a hard watch for Tak, I'm afraid, but you know he's laughing at the end of it.
He's going to learn CS aren't, but CS put in a hell of a performance today.
I really wonder what would have happened had this been 7-2 or something similar, CS really
could have not only humbled 7, but actually locked them out of playoffs contention as
well.
Unfortunately they couldn't do everything they wanted but they did get pretty damn close and in a way they did get the last laugh by finding that win in every turn.
Oh man, I don't even know. It's just so many small things happening in this game, so many question marks and like upsets and around and the back and forth.
just running down the enemies I mean I think Walsh in particular this guy was
in what felt like every single opening battle on both the winning and losing
side of it but he ended up getting so many kills as well thinking finishing
like 15 or 16 kills total job well done for him hard-fought game for both teams
it was not a landslide whatsoever no hard-fought stage as well for
circular spheres unfortunately failed to make it to the stage finals part
They can still hold their heads high for a hell of a stage.
I mean, particularly they had a win against EP, a 7-2 win on their second playday.
And I think that they can look pretty happy with the stage.
Clearly, this team didn't expect to make stage finals.
And when they started to have a little bit of a good stage,
I think that maybe the hopes got up, but unfortunately, at the end of it,
they don't quite have the points to make it into the top four.
Well, of course, we can go and have a chat with twitch.tv.
slash Nezorati. Nez, congratulations on the overtime win, but also commiserations on not
making it to the playoffs. It was a really valiant effort nonetheless. Today it looked
like you guys came into it looking to have a little bit of fun and talk a little bit
of smack. Talk me through that.
We definitely, we did come in, seriously, we wanted to make packs, obviously now as
I go. After Shike lost, it was a lot harder for us. I think we had the 7-1 or 7-2,
which would be really what we could do.
But after we lost those first few rounds,
we got to like 3-3, we realized we couldn't make packs.
So obviously we still wanted to win the game,
it was full series,
but we're also having a bit of fun around it.
We're just letting the king is back, quicksy.
King, he's back, he let him do what he want.
And yeah, it was a good game.
I mean, there is so much happening, right?
Like if you're like a non-oast watching,
maybe watching this stream right now,
Describe to me what's happening in game chat, right? Are you guys all really good friends, you know, you're camaraderie
It's a bit of banter because you got so active in the chat not you specifically but King in particular
Just talking to the opposition. Is this his good friendship?
You know to be honest like you never know like you could like
I don't know if King if the if he's friend with them or not, but I don't see why I don't know if King has beef with them or not
But most of the time it is banner like we always on order like Australia
It's like a small group so we always just like
We might make each other every now and then so
Most of the time it is banner I don't think anyone's actually being serious and angry
Well if you want a little bit of spice to enjoy go back and watch the final round and see the way that puck was shooting bodies about
20 seconds before he fumbled the 1 and 2
So yeah, it was a very entertaining game for us a long one for you guys
and of course a stage to be proud of.
Nez, what's it like for you obviously,
a reasonably like up and coming player?
You know, you're not a veteran of the scene,
you've been coming through
and you managed to get a win over EP this stage.
You end up in fifth place.
What's it like to you reflecting upon how stage two
and the year have gone?
Well, I came into the scene in stage two
and for me it's been a big learning experience.
We kind of, the team kind of got made like a week or two out before the stage commenced.
So getting that top five for us was like a big iron of the for us next year.
See if we can go beyond that and make top four as we, to be honest,
we weren't expecting a like finish fifth, like, of course we're in each game.
I'm going to win it, give it our all, but we've kind of kind of expecting
the finish low on the leaderboard.
So coming in, getting those wins against EP,
Getting a win against 7, they're like a really good team as well, it's just like it's really good for us and shows that like we're capable of next year.
Yeah, absolutely well congrats, you're the only team in the league who's beat by 7 and EP this year, so massive congratulations to you for your win tonight as well.
But yeah, I may as well give you the mic now if you want to say any shout out to anybody watching before we say goodbye to you for the rest of the stage.
Um, Shadow Arcade, they get a lot of, they cup a lot of slender from a lot of people in the scene and I know what's going on during the team.
They're not having the best experience, but those players are a lot better than what it seems to be.
They might not have any wins on the board, but they are definitely a lot better players than everyone make them out to be.
Also, Shadow Goofs, Shadow the whole team actually, just thank you for playing like, we kind of got this team together last minute, worked out well.
Well, thank you the king he returned and helped us get those last two wins as well
Shana j. Kenner as well
He helped us a little bit as well. I'm love j. Kenner and shout out Amelia. I'm j. Kenner's girlfriend as well
She came and helped a bit as well. It's very good
That's awesome. Love it man. Oh congrats on a great stage and I hope we talk to you again soon. All right
Thank you. See you later guys
See you man. Take care
Really wholesome interview after a really smack well spoken
I mean, like he said himself, I don't know if King is beefing with these guys or friends
with them, but you know, usually it's tight in the group here, you know, so probably nothing
too bad.
And I don't think it's going to be no ill intent, no harm obviously, but dude, that
was for a 7-7 game for a game that mattered so much in the beginning that they kind
of didn't after a certain round score was achieved craziness every single round.
Yeah, for sure.
Crazy match.
Really big plays.
of smack talk whether you know whatever is behind the smack talk also big fire up
from Walsh towards the end of it credit to him massive really targeted by the CS
players in the all chat and he had a couple of rounds where he had very little
to no impact and then he decided just turn it the hell on of course we've got
more games going tonight Nezah right he gave a little bit of a shout out to
arcade said even though they are winless they have a lot going for
them they're playing up against Enterprise in our next match tonight
My EP, of course, almost undefeated, with the exception of a slip up against Circulus
Fizz.
They're in the top spot.
They're gunning to make it to Pax and, of course, through to the Asaka Major as well.
Yep.
I mean, I want to see the archer victory, man.
Final play dates.
Head down EP just for the vibes, the memes, EP saving strategy, but who knows, it could
continue.
Look at that score on 7-8, 7-8.
I would not be surprised, teams, if we have to go a distance for the majority
of the matches a day going for at least Tuesdays versus T-Manus because you know what? We can
do more, we can do more rounds.
Well apparently if we average a 7-2 or closer for the next two games then we'll hit the highest
number of rounds played under a single day of OCE and I think right after the longest
play day of EU last night which finished for me at around 9.30 am this morning my
time it's now 8.30 pm so this has been a very sharp turnaround for you and I, Nick.
of course it is the days where we're stacked back to back that they go the deepest of course arcade
Have a chance to take on the top dogs of EP after this short break
It was a very bright personality, and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Since I was a kid, I couldn't play outside with normal people.
My parents and my father used to play games.
and that's why I was in a place where I 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,
but I was walking around, playing soccer, basketball,
and I was doing nothing.
And then, the number of seasons increased, and you couldn't play outside, so you could go to the hospital.
For example, games became the main thing.
I was told that I shouldn't play games, so I wasn't really influenced by it.
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 long.
Now, when I look back, I'm grateful to my family.
It's like being a pro gamer and becoming a pro gamer is like earning more than a person.
I have to thank you for that.
When I first started playing for CG, I met my friend at CG for the first time.
It was a really good impression to play with my friends, but more than playing with my friends, I've been playing with C.G. for a long time.
I think it's a good impression. I think it's a good impression. I think it's a good impression.
I think that's what I like. I think I've been playing with C.G. since season 0.
When I first started, I felt like Minecraft was doing better than that.
I felt like I was the only one who did it.
So I felt like it didn't have that kind of impact in Japan.
I think I was the strongest from the beginning.
I think I was the strongest because I was able to win whatever I did.
I was so happy that I didn't lose to anyone.
team. While we have locked
our four teams heading to
packs for stage finals here in
OC, we are not done with the
group stage. Our top two teams
that went to EWC from this
region are yet to play their
final matches. And of course
enterprise is up next. They're
not well. Okay. Top two
teams and the bottom two
But in another universe, if we were playing golf and you wanted to have this lower number
as possible, then RK would be phenomenal because they're triple 07 at the moment.
Let's break down this team that has really struggled to find their footing in the league
so far.
I mean, it's a tough ask for players who are fighting with a roster that was kind
of formed last minute, a team that has not found a win so far in the stage.
But unfortunately for them, it's not going to get any easier because their final match
She's up against the big dogs in the AP.
Man, that's right. They just did a great shout out there in the previous interview saying that these guys, they put on code to serve more in terms of results that they're so capable that they can actually perform at a rather high level than what they currently have shown us so far.
And then apparently that he understood what they were going through behind the scenes that it wasn't easy for them.
I'm not sure what that means exactly myself, but it is true that players deal with management problems throughout the stage.
You know, we all have a personal life,
we can be difficulties working a job,
we're studying it alongside it, managing your time,
your schedule, your script, etc.
And if you're not a, you know, full-time player,
you're jumping a whole life next to your
probably career, and that is just not easy to do.
Yeah, and of course the first play day,
they actually got five rounds, almost took
circular spheres to overtime.
They got so close.
And yet the rest of the stage has
looked just worse and worse by the
the playday. You look at the rest of their matches. I mean, they lost 7-4 to Manila Foe,
they got smacked by Chiefs, and then they had somewhat medium games, 7-3s and 7-4s against
Savage Academy and Anios and now, unfortunately for them, they are up against the big dogs.
Enterprise had a little blip in their second match, losing out to Circular Spheres, but aside
from that they have looked as powerful as ever they destroyed the chiefs 7-0 however
were pushed kind of deep by 7 they went to overtime and yet they still recompose they're
currently sitting at the top of the standings likely to end that way all they have to do is take
down little old arcade label all like it but at the same time there's not a ton of things to
play for right now me enterprise to be honest even if they're going to be saving stats and
playing a map that has shown a thousand times already, they should still take our kid in
the comfortable fashion from the individual skill level of the players here from the EP.
I mean, Jake Sawick can probably get close to a 1v5 on some of these Rallands if he's going to
be playing a peak performance, because I think that's the goal right now. Maybe EB can take
this into a bit of a practice matchup saying guys today we're focusing super hard on
like countdowns for shared execution or our drone work for the roam entry for example,
and try and make it a learning lesson on a playday rather than just another match on the board.
Jigsaw and Touhan not far behind him. King who had a lot of praise in the last
match is actually sitting in third place for his rating. As is Nezorati up in
the top 10 at seventh place in terms of his player rating, he's the guy that we
had in the interview not long ago. So a lot going for EP but other star players
have been rising in the region as well. Unfortunately for Arcade it's not been
so much in the case for them. Let's see what map we'll be going to. As I
mentioned before these teams played on bank in stage one enterprise likely trying
to hide as many maps as they possibly can
Night Haven, Night Haven Villa, Night Haven
Mixed up Musinsir from EP they have the choice between that or the newest map in
the pool you want to keep close to your chest for the BO3s because I really
think they can become a big BO3 map and Night Haven you can play with both
guys closed if you are in surprise basic strats basic setups essentially
just take ranked, increase the level, or do the same shudging as server that can
get you very far up against Arcade.
Yeah, we haven't seen AP play labs as of yet, so I'm a little bit surprised they
let it through. I would have thought that they would want to just go back to one
of the maps that they've already played looking back.
Um, half-aid, bang. Oh sorry, they have played labs, actually played it against
Strike Academy 7-3. I missed that one.
Okay.
We haven't seen Arcade play it though, so I'm not sure if this is a
favorite map of theirs. They kind of ended up playing most of the maps that
E.P. have shown so far, but you're interested that E.P. decided to end out on maps like
Chalet and the clubhouse, not wanting to show them at the moment, the clubhouse which they
lost to CS. We're about to get into it. Realistically, Pengu, what's a win condition
here for Arcade? Like, what would they be happy with? I feel like if you managed
to get four or five rounds off of E.P., that's actually a very valiant effort
considering the stage as it's called for both these teams so far.
Absolutely. I mean, Akid has gotten a total of four in the last four matches,
or sorry, a max of four in the last four matches.
So getting a fifth of a B phenomenal stuff for them.
Any round victory up against your teams, like, you know,
you know, you're enterprise, you're Weibo, et cetera.
The CHG, the Titans of the sub-leaders of APL is a victory.
They get more than three very happy days for them.
Very much so, let's get in and I have a ladder.
It feels like we were just here a few moments ago with CS and 7, but it's always a pleasure
to get to see this new EP roster in action.
Always a good chance for them to get more reps in with the player as well as he took
a little bit of time to warm up with the team.
They start on the attacking side, which is the best way to see just how good a team
is, how organized and aggressive they are on these attacking sides.
Is that an auto-pick from Mace's?
It's not sure it could have been
Interesting also the fourth bomb side first station your kitchen and there is no clash to speak of
Alberta bands been the Monty and the solid snake and the bandito and the kaiid again
EPF in keeping this one very very open again
Not gonna show anything niche nothing specific just plain very basic upper the bands basics as setups and defense and basic attacks
as well we're gonna be a top-down clear here kitchen again just do the
expected things not sure anything
yeah you've also got the uh...
here we operate uh...
brought i mean there are a lot of good ways to use on this bomb site so i'll knock it up some of the ways that the defender is trying to
reaggress against you in the hallway for example
So I like the idea. Also I love seeing Cairo on the shields, Tuhan on the calling.
Wonder if that's designated as a beer account.
The Lord Cairo loves to get in there in the faces of his opponent, go for fast interkill,
fix the perfect operator for all this smoke go on, things to remind this to help Sofía
to get rid of the shield as placed at the top of the staircase.
That's the first step, and you can also then smoke off one angle and push the other if you want to get active with Cairo
There's six smoking aids on this attack on my lock without a glass by the way
I mean the faster you try and clear that one by the better
But he has so many discs available so early as the round
I think that's four a fifth in pocket now a sixth in his pocket
So much util for that one by such a powerful operator in his current state
Natural self prep for aces as well as soon as Kyra decides to make his way inside
our breach comes out and loyal shut down with two magnets in pocket finally
EP get rid of the limine and find the opening kill and with that Kyra goes
straight for the gunfight as well goes to the ADS against aces that's a
prominent way to take the fight. Rendo finishes off zero as well. Arcade looks
like they had a good setup at the start with their util but now it's all
They're falling apart.
A good kill there from Phasix upstairs for the flank, but now, you know, we cannot continue going forward.
Got to drop down the hatch instead, trying to get back towards the bomb site.
The issue is, you're up against so much utility.
Raw are closing doors, smoking a clean-tall style.
If they still full HP, C4 goes down, doesn't find a single point of damage.
So, Enterprise, very much in control and very much in the lead.
They have two more players alive than the Arcade do.
They could just fuck the side, three to one style.
Especially with the Blitz in play.
I'm Jayper, I kinda wanna be using my Scanner to find where that Blitz is.
Now he's been spotted.
Cairo is still full HP, and only one impact explosives here for Arcade,
and Cairo is so tempted to take that fight.
Jigsaw finds the angle through the half-destroyed wall,
and now Jayper is in a 1v4 plant going down from Cairo.
Nice first shot on the Jigsaw, Cairo's gonna stick it.
Jayburn sees where that plant is going down in close range as an impact, but doesn't do anything against Sekiro.
He is absolutely cool now. The flash comes out from Sekiro and the kill as well on the ADS.
Two kills for the Blitz Sekiro. Very strong first round from EP.
Now, the wind excitement is expected.
Quickly in, the quicker you are up against Womai, the stronger you're going to be as an attacker.
Yes, a regenerative gadget, right?
So the more time you wait to go by,
the more magnets you're up against,
they brought six smoke grenades.
You could just toss it in the door,
get rid of the shield, take top-block control,
and you saw Cairo take one of the best guns
that you can in the game as a shield.
He had the high ground.
It was top of the staircase,
a decent defender at the bottom.
Why is it so strong?
The defender sees the legs and the shield of the blitz.
They can't really see the head due to the angle,
whereas Cairo can shoot the entire top body
and the head shot off the defender.
So, Cairo, very good decision-making there,
choosing when and where to take the bites.
Basic scout that thank you that we saw earlier on,
but it was too late,
because every other defender got one and already got down.
Technical pause when we get everyone back
into the survey here, Pengu.
Yes, sir.
I feel like it's almost time for some chatter, right?
What do you think?
I had a little bit more time,
why are we on the chatter right now?
I could go for a second jam and bread session.
We'd be honest, we synced up out of jam and bread.
That's what it was, guys.
We both rocked off after getting those couple of hours
of sleep from EML, and we had the exact same thing
for breakfast, more or less.
It took me back to the days in Paris together,
walking to the cafe and getting that bread.
We got that bread, man.
Everyone's trying to do it.
That vlog is out, by the way.
Did you see that?
The vlog is out.
What?
I'm gonna know me so what Rob was feature it goss meeting appearance Jake making appears
right tag every single person that locked like a 500 people for the EWC come on now
I can tell you do uh, you know what
What does
fish
Yeah, I've been working with them as much as you the stage are you kidding me?
Where were they when the Westfall fell where were they in the trenches when we had to do our EML shift into the API ocean?
Hmm where were they when Jon Snow became king all good questions?
Which I have no answers for it's true though. Where are they when things get rough?
If they were real homies, they could have said, you know what, guys, we'll cover half the shift today, we'll home early.
It could have done that. Nothing's stopping them from doing so.
I feel like they should be here to see E.P. glide their way through the top of the standings.
Well, hopefully we'll see the fact. I mean, I could be disappointed if I didn't get to hang out with my Marines, Jake.
That is a fact.
Speaking of Jake and Gauze, somebody asked in Twitch chat what age is considered on status.
What do you think is on the status? When do you become that depends on the context? We have a producer saying
Which I like that that sounds pretty good because then we managed to touch it. Yeah means we're not onks
I feel like you feel like it's more of like a mental state of mind and knowledge
Morso of the younger generation was like you will seem like an on to people if you cannot relate to them or with them at all
And you can be 25 and have no idea about technology and then you'll be on to every teenager because they're like
How you don't know what a phone is, you know one of our other
production team in the chat has said that 25 is
25 is on I
Mean in Seagrazy e-sports pro play. I think yeah, I feel like
Pros is getting a little bit older though. Like we're having some players who you know Canadians hit 30
Cybers 28 now and he's obviously got kids we've got quite a few pro players with kids
3 days, 30 plus, we have a few players who are 30 plus competing in the leagues even at cut level
and while we do have a few young players, I feel like you're just getting older in Siege
but I think that if you and I were competitors we should probably be class of light as well
Well we would also because we've been around for a long time
time. Let's say I came to Pro League tomorrow. It's my debut first ever match. I will be an old
pro player, but I'm also a rookie while being an ARC at the same time, right? But if you've been
there since the beginning for 11 years, not only are you an ARC in age, but you're an ARC in presence.
Sorry, I'm laughing because I just saw a message from one of the ARC ad players. Apparently
this is I'm leaving this from the admins chat. Loyal said fellas I'm happy to settle this in an
Amalus lobby. Wait but how do you how do you settle that? Who's gonna be the imposter? Who's
gonna be like how do you do that? Great question, very good question. Let's find out, let's hope
that Amalus can do right now. I'm down to swap. If the games, if we're still in this technical
time out in like five. Let me check. I say we did our last play among us. 2022 March 18th. So like
shortly after his eye, that was my last time playing among us. Can I be honest? It was during
COVID days. Yes. Have you never played? What? Never played. I played. So you have no friends.
Oh, I've played the. Everyone friends during COVID played this game. Rehabil was good.
I did. I did. Do you remember last year in Australia? Actually it wasn't even last
Last year was the beginning of this last year, I guess, this December.
That was great.
I was in the hotel room, I was in Sydney, that was the most crowded hotel room I've ever seen.
But it was different, I know the one based on from town of Salem, the Steam game or
the browser game, but you guys did one night werewolf because it's like it's all faster
paced.
And I remember the first couple of rounds, I'm like, how am I supposed to know
what people are up to in this game?
there's no like continuation of progress.
You said one night to talk it all out.
And dude, the APL crew, they can lie.
I got gas lips so hard the first couple of games.
I was like, oh, so you're innocent.
Okay, cool.
No, they were not innocent.
It was a triple man scheme across the board
between production, between producer,
between the cast or it was crazy.
So if they say anything to you guys,
do not believe their lies.
I love it.
It's where I thrive, man.
I learned a lot that night. I did.
I'm definitely bringing Werewolf to the Osaka Major. Should we be able to go there? I mean, I think we have to indoctrinate some more people into the gang of the Werewolves.
Yeah, the modern Marrier. However, there is one issue, and I'm sure that some people can relate to this. I know Jake can.
travel day for a second major if you were to attend as a commentator or a
production member is more or less remember third maybe four depending on
what you're flying from November 4th happens to be the World of Warcraft
forever launch date so a lot of people might call in sick
me and Jake might be in the same hotel room puddled up in a blanket playing
while to learn laptops it's very possible he also servers me and European
servers both having high ping a little bit glorious well you do that I'm gonna
I'm gonna go play well Wolf and backstab my friends eat them up dinner
you do that I can't do that too loud on my dog
no no you don't do that yeah people are still wait why did a moderated delete
the message that 30 is on mods are you against us before us or against us but
it's hard to ban him that's crazy
someone who agreed with us last time they banned someone they banned the wrong
person and then they could request the most cursed music the half-time
I'm just saying let's come together again.
Hashtag just...
I'm rightfully banned.
Just this or first time.
Oh, let me just read what this says.
Okay, I see it.
I see why he might have...
Oh, it was ult above.
Okay.
Oh wait, no.
I don't know, man.
Order what's...
Assemble!
That's the thing, the septicons, Autobots.
It's kind of a cool play on the word, the septicons is like the evil guys, or at least
like from our view we use the bad guys.
I think the bad guys here might be the key, actually, because, I mean that's the thing,
right?
Are our KTVllans, are they the victors?
I'm not sure, right now they get the opening pick though.
Yapper, they're calling me Yapper.
Yapper gets the opening pick.
Well, that is right. Yeah. Yeah.
He's the happen right now. I don't know. I'm on the team comes, but did he just for Rory Pete the corner?
He was like, I just ran back the whole way.
He walks in lower jumps in rather.
EMP the whistle of mine, the second one at the first. So they get in successfully.
Some foreign trap action under the mine.
What now?
As we found his kill. Oh, there's a flanker.
Take a little flanker, Jayper.
Oh, he's just spending some time past.
I feel like Kyra knows about it.
There's a cap.
Oh, no.
He dies regardless. Jayper finds it.
And now he can just wait.
He doesn't need to make any moves whatsoever.
Well, Kyra is completely advantageous.
He moves here, fast-pings.
Good swing is, and the caster gets shot down.
That sticks all by the way.
Kairos you can low HP but that's when I kill onto the yapper, yaper, sorry
He's gonna be player and Kairos
I can't help it man, the Danish
Oh man
Why in a 2v3 with Kairos low HP coming off the other side
It's not gonna work out too well for them
Arcade looking very solid
V6 has got a big smile on his dial after that one
strained around there from Enterprise getting completely picked apart by Yappa.
You know, every single time that you lose a round and Rainbow succeeds, you must find the victim,
the person of which you must blame for the round loss.
I nominate Cairo, okay?
Didn't watch the flank watch, sold to E, and then after he let the guy who was flanking get out.
That's Cairo's fault.
And he better apologize to his teammate.
That's it, exactly.
That was the thing where we were doing the, um...
the emote last night, and there was a round where Fnatic was playing on Fortress,
and Deepak made like a huge error, and it cost him the round.
It was good to the player cans.
Well, so he liked...
So the Blitz was planting like in a corner,
and Blitz and Sherby stalked him under water, 1 HP, right?
And it was a 2v1 effectively.
Deepak swung out with the DMR first, leaving Blitz in an awful position,
whereas Deepak should have played safely, waiting for Blitz to start the fight and then you swing off the contact.
The second we hit the player camps, you heard Deepak go,
oh, sorry guys, that wasn't tight in my bag, don't worry about that round.
And that's that, those small things generally thing goes a super long way,
especially if you're like in a younger roster or a less experienced team,
because there is a lot of emotions you have to contain and control while you're playing at this level.
Yeah, you really gotta have a level of capability to be able to mediate in moments like making
mistakes is one thing, being able to come up and mediate that conflict is another.
It looks like I can't play with no fear, we've got a boss G coming in from Loyalt.
Loyalt is the guy who suggests we settle in a hundred miles away and I'm sure I
can see why.
might be a little bit more favorable when Jigsaw is sneaking on from behind and taking him down.
Rento injured though.
Bumble is going back in the clear very quickly.
Cairo is very deep. 2D maybe actually gets shot down by Sairow.
I mean the lack of teamwork there from Enterprise, they get punished.
Two members fall very quickly after it as well.
E.P. is not looking good for them.
off piece there from Cairo
2v4 now for player and Jigsaw
Jpop with a bit of a QE
Aces down below as well, just peeling on back forcing
EP to do the dirty work
It's just a game of baiting, hiding their time
I'm not having a lot of luck doing so so far.
Hmm, this C4.
A little bit scary.
You're yet beating, you sprint past it.
Don't even pump it.
It were on the camera though.
Back to side.
That's the soft, it's popped on open.
Maybe if Jigsaw can get in the area
and try to help swing together,
but he's watching the flank instead
trying to bait out these locations from arcade.
And if they take the bait,
That man count will get back in ZB's favor relatively quickly.
This is just a standstill, isn't it?
Yeah, they both lack out like, well, what are we doing here, guys?
Oh, Jigsaw, give it up first.
You did?
He hears the other player.
That is insane audio from Jigsaw.
He's all the way by the stock window.
He's so far away.
Well, players found one.
Jigsaw wins a 1v1 here, this is actually very winnable, but he's a one-speed operator.
He's making a lot of noise, and Japer's been pretty hot, and does indeed win the gunfight.
1v3 now for Player. He's got some U2 to work with and the diffuser, so I'll put it past him.
A couple of taps in his backside as he tries to take down that bulletproof camera.
physics just spiting his time giving Japer a chance to rotate back to the side and
he'll finish it off with the shotgun all around on the board for arcade EP looking
a little bit uninspired today yeah they do not looking like they are super keen
to win the match in the usual fashion of a one-sided affair but as I said before
this could be them kind of keeping things close to the chest not showing
up too much before the finals because again if you are EP qualifying it's a
given it's all about how we can perform at that land saving strats saving maps
saving a bit of that performance but like I also said earlier I expect a bit
of a higher level from them in terms of like coordination basic rank strats I
know you don't want to show away any of the pattern and usual habits on this
map but still come on guys this is arcade not saying that they're bad
but on paper they basically are and you should be running over them a bit
more effortlessly than the struggle of these last two rounds.
Yeah, it's just strange, isn't it?
EP are a team that like to take risks, and I'm just seeing a few too many risks and
a few too many mistakes so far.
Really thought we were going to be in for a quick one in favor of EP, and then Chiefs
Vianni or Sledder.
I thought that was going to be a quick one as well.
Now I'm starting to change my mind, starting to wonder if I might be wrong.
Now the odd bands have come out to round off what we'll see taken out of the equation for the this half
It's a second shield here from arcade the blitz added to the Monty and for EP. They can really mute so
And a cave and mute taken out
Five seconds left before I don't know
What the idea is behind that because there's no particular utility from
Doc could be daimos or anything like that
Also, it is technically a bit of, nah, nah, I was going to say a bit of wall denial, but
it doesn't stop the Kennel winners or the Aces, so not really, not these days.
I mean, you just won't cooperate with that.
It is such a high meta pick for a long time.
They most often be Grimm, wall denial.
It did everything.
And then they changed it so that it don't stop the internal devices, so Kennel
winners, Aces, Grimm, Lits.
they do not get stopped by the imijammers anymore.
Pogby, in Shuri's first rework, didn't stop them either.
Now she does.
So it went from very flexible,
maybe strongest defender in different meta,
to get like a Sami and such.
She's still a decent operator,
but there are just certain interactions
that it just doesn't do anymore.
And that is a bit of a problem.
There's also a left grim in a very powerful spot
with a very high presence and band right here in general.
APR is setting up for something, Rendo is going to distract Anakwa, maybe go for the get it if it's clear, while his team is attacking other portions towards Catwalk, Connector and IT.
Preach has started, the gas pipe's taken down, APR making slow progress, but not very aggressive, a lot more passive compared to what we've seen from the previous lead.
Bomb site is still quite a way away down in the first floor control room.
Well, he wants to make his way inside, but I don't see any drone, oh, as I say, that is the drone.
Headed in.
Make sure that he can take this space safely.
Very quiet attack, though.
I like how our kid has just not really given him much to recognize. The time is their friend.
And Tuan goes down early.
When E.V. finally gets close towards the bomb site, they fall to another gunfight individually.
individually with no trade game happening immediately and there's going to be a
solace for potential you know plant denial later on as I say that he defines
their kills so there's no more.
Playa almost finishes off the physics on the bomb site so close getting that final
pick wow he's just prone hiding there he doesn't have to do anything except
delay as much time as possible and he buys enough time for aces to go for a
flank that's huge here from arcade look maybe Nezorati was right he praised
arcade and said that they have so much more potential than what we've seen from
them so far and we're seeing that from them today Jigsaw in a 1v3 that
magazine is not big enough to duel all of these players he will trade but
eventually fall back arcade well and truly in control of this match against
Enterprise very much so I mean again making a lot of good decisions in the
server and I mean they're very much taking this game very seriously and I think that's
very important to note here they have so much they can learn up against such a strong opponent
in EP when you are a much lower seated team domestically and you have what looks like
a weak performance from the outside looking in you will have a hard time finding really
good scrim partners like why should EP scrim arcade if they get bulldozer in every single
match for example well maybe they do maybe they don't I'm not entirely certain what
What I do know is that right now you can treat this game as a scrim and learn the absolute
most from it.
And that's Arcade.
And they're performing better, they're learning more, EP call a technical time out.
So perhaps they do want to try a bit harder, because otherwise why would you do this?
I mean really guys, come on it's time to lock in.
This should be a 7-1, 7-2.
That kind of acidity in stage one, when Arcade faced EP, they got snatched 7-1.
and Enterprise have beaten teams like Manila Foes 7-0, they beat Chiefs 7-1,
which Academy side 3 now Arcade have found 3 rounds. We were saying at the
start of this game if Arcade do any better than 3 rounds, that's genuinely quite impressive.
I'll get on top for now, you can get on defense.
Hiding different operators at different times here as well, I'm not sure a lot of us hiding
the LL is watching for a drone on our corridor, but in the way he's achieving both right
now is there's no drones in the area, two on his outside, looking to walk in, but
the second is he the LL with too late, drone dies instantly and he cannot do attack
or repicks in the last couple of seconds anyway, it's a good bit of value found
there.
Of course, LL is going to be a very strong contender here up against two and on the Blackbeard.
It's a great shield counter, both the impact grenades and the Griswold mines to use.
They're gone with a lot of bullets or pre-fires and shooting towards the shield, etc.
Also, a very underrated mechanic musi against shields, especially against Blitz.
If you shoot the shield of an attacker, you will take their ability away from them to sprint.
You're going to give them a debuff. The more you shoot them, the more damage you do into the shields, so to speak.
so to speak, the longer that debuff lasts for, so if you're worried about getting run down by a shield
then it is pre-firing a couple of bullets and doing damage to it will stop them from doing so.
Patience here now, it's RK, just wait, EP are the ones with all eyes, on them.
Bit of hard breach done, time to drone it up, step by step, peel back the layers, deal with these mirror windows, deal with some of the traps set up, and then eventually look for an escape pyro from the Ying.
That's a risky way to go for it, playa could have just put a swan on the IT door right here, as he made his way inside.
A simple execute all it takes is the Blackbeard to pick Wandoi and the Candelas from the ying to roll in from another
Big round from AP
It's much more convincing again the teamwork the coordination
Coverage on gunfights all of that was visible in the round that we didn't see prior
So maybe that was a tech time out about guys come on
I guess the last game like let's give the respect to the service fight back
I mean our kid are trying the hard out. They clearly want to get a proper competitive game
Let's show them that. Let's give it to them. Just start applying a bit more pressure.
Time to play a few different operators.
See what they do for this one. Basement defense for Arcade. They can play a deep roam game.
They can play a fallback strap or look at the vigil, the solace, the goyo.
This feels a lot like they're gonna get super
deep on the roam. Play for as much map control as possible.
And then even if the roamers were to fall, you can pop the gore canisters.
you have the mirror windows you have safety by the side to only play one or two people watching for a potential bombsite rush
The final round of the half we go back down to the basement
Enterprise time to tie the score line and finish this off on your defensive side
I say this should not be a close game whatsoever. Look at this from loyal
That's a little bit of Boss G Spice as he runs outside, gets detected immediately straight back in again.
Our EP did not win this bombsite last time. In fact, they looked pretty pitiful.
They found the opening kill from Jigsaw when he was roam clearing kitchen side and then didn't really find much else.
Only two kills in the round.
Hopefully their roam clear is a bit more effective this time.
It's what I stand on.
We're waiting for each other.
We're talking to four of your friends.
Again, by causing just an action,
you can then make the enemy do something else.
Obviously, Lord of the Nose said,
okay, they're aware of my position.
I've got to fall back and go to a different location.
We're going to look at physics next in line upstairs
inside of connector.
We're going to fight a couple of different angles right now.
Lord of the Nose is in the area.
Lord of the Nose is in the area.
Lord of the Nose is in the area.
Lord of the Nose is in the area.
This is again EP being very cautious of where to take those fights, ideally you get Cairo in there.
But last time he went top floor to shoot up right, mind you, he went too deep to quickly and died immediately after so
he's going to be clearing downstairs with Brenda watching the flank from outside the building here up top.
Oh come on player low HP is not going to keep on fighting that one
Tuhun comes through onto Jpa. We need Enterprise working together to take down the bombings.
Change in Max!
So Convinced him either way Tui finds two kills from around to go down the
the vending stairs as well. If you link up with Cairo and stun off the corners of Sophia,
check if they're clear or not. You cannot destroy the mirror with the back using a soft
wall. Which, uh, is it a soft wall? Hold on, we're joining it? No, I've finished you,
that's your reinforcement, so that's not gonna work, guys. That is not an ash, that
is a Sophia.
Oh, there's a tough way to lose the numbers of damage, but good trade.
Two of them, three of them around.
Ace is in loyal, now the last one's left and Matt Dmr will make short work on this hatch.
Oh, nice shot there.
Watch out, pirate.
On that Blackbeard takes a lot of damage and finished off 1v2 now, but player thankfully finds final two kills.
And with that, the close to the half is a solid one from EP3 Rounds as we tie the scoreline, moving into the second.
So, is it finally the moments when E.P. lock in, they have to get a little bit rough around
the edges in that first half, they let it get away from them, they were down 3-1, now
Now recompose back 3-3, RK had a little bit of energy on the defense but attack is a very
different thing.
One thing is that it's going to be maybe harder to defend against statistically but
RK might not be as good at attacking as they're defending so therefore you may be
the victor in that regard.
I also think just like playing defense you put you know your great frackers from AP in their dedicated spots
You take the fights that sit you can really easily turn this around
Again after the attack time out if you started trying a bit harder in the server
Started finding the correct results
Like I said before expecting kind of ranked pocket strats nothing too crazy here to show for saving stuff for the long term
Going top floor first as I make our rafters very usual standard stuff
I'm wondering if we're going to get to see Norr-X shield interaction at the moment, it
looks like Arcane-R is playing it.
I'm always interested to see the way that teams have ideas about how to play Norr that
is more than just let's count the shields.
For example, in Cobhouse we're defending Raffles, we see our teams usually just
try and deny the walk up on to the rafters through the stands, it turns a really cool idea, I like
using it as an area now, kind of like a smoke, it takes a little bit more thinking.
Are you think when you place each?
Loading bag!
It's available.
Okay, some will argue, some would not.
sometimes I would get the rank stack together because Gus and I would talk about ranking the
broadcast and one day man one day matching I like watch the plan oh we found the gap
on it so this is not the lord gap it's not that it worth noting here if you put the
more gadget in an external outside reinforced wall has to be in the middle of a single wall
I hope to cover the entire team, but in this KO, good night, good night, Jigsaw.
If Jigsaw wants to cover that external breach of CCTD here, he has to use two Nord gadgets.
One middle of the left wall, one middle of the right wall.
The only case of putting in the middle of a double reinforced wall will work, is if
the Thermite is kind of trolling and putting the extrematars in the middle, which is
super risky because either side will then get it destroyed.
So it really is a matter of choosing the sides and not the middle there for the
future.
someone I know that but he went down to a great swing after but acid was physical
very long he's been here the actual moment I could play with contesting this
with the org as well a punch than a lot of the other defender weapons it is an
AR rather than SFQ that's a nice nitro see a later loyal grim taken down low HP
on physics and aces still contesting his vertical angle how comes the air jab
from aces as he wants to try and make his way inside the car as just shot it on
the out and still alive in electrical I get more less shot out may ask if we
want to jump in this window but he's solo on HP it's not really gonna be reality
the info a Jbre goes down on the main breed so they get an arcade that
cannot get inside the building every single take up a one is outside still
and physically actually inside is so far from the bomb site.
Very close now to executing and see what the only other HP players walk straight into.
Players line aside and Oasis is now left all alone.
A lot of bullets in the mag here for the ARX and he's trying to chase ghosts.
Player finds him on the narrow angle. Big round from player there.
Enterprise finally take the lead.
Look, I'm very convincing there on the defense. Again, it's hard to attack without a solid plan to follow through when you got to win some nasty gunfights up against the EP.
We used to do it, make more use of the verticality. They tried that, it kind of worked against them, our kids, got to just choose an area, send three or four attackers to achieve that a bit together and then rotate over and do different things after.
If you want to give these 1v1 gunfights to E.P. it's how you very quickly find yourself in a losing position because they're just so hard to take down like I keep saying.
Oh great opening, but after that not much firepower left can tank-fold them.
Yeah, particularly when E.P. have setups that require a lot of picking apart.
Now instead of going down to the basement, and most teams will go second, they go to
control room storage, which means that you're playing into that room game a lot more of
a loose setup.
I'm also having to have an idea of plant denial here, as Arcade actually swapping off
the shield, the fire to the blitz, hello to the famous, the physics, going up against the monstrous
amount of runners here, trying to do lots of info gathering from solos and poles, this is gonna
be an even ideal for RK. I'm not surprised by the lack of a shield operator, I mean if I'm
up against Enterprise, you don't, put me in a Monty, right? That's obviously what I'm
therefore use the previous conversation. You walk in, you get defamation, you get the yellow
pinks, heart destruction, threatened a plant, you get a lot of ways of getting value that doesn't
require a gunfight. You got Jigsaw very actively here looking for, oh maybe Miss John?
Things at the freezer box of kitchen. Nose during his lefty area.
Laurel having a laughter in the chat, taking down Cairo. And I think Jigsaw is going to be
They're good for one, maybe two freebies, but they're airjacking.
I guess they know.
Oh yeah, they certainly know.
Uh-oh.
He gets out alive.
So is he alive.
Yeah, I'm very lucky to be alive.
Cost him an impact grenade and about half his HP as well.
He's trying to get through that.
So good progress from Arcade though.
It would have been nice to get that kill.
Still holding on to the top floor here, Rendo and Touhan.
Worked this together.
Touhan is peeking solo at the moment.
No one peeking onto him as of yet from Arcade, as they slowly make their way inside.
Now it's time instead to hide in the corner, upstairs and connector.
Just waiting.
They sure as they keep missing.
Oh, no they don't.
They know now, Jig is up, turn the 4 on back, watch him by the window.
Dan, Brenda with coverage there, takes a bit of damage though, so now it's doing Brenda and Jigsaw both on half HP or less.
And Twi will be aggressive, he passed the key back, he's on 4-3-D.
Here's no trade as of yet, Aces wants the pre-fire.
Twi is essentially on an island now, but I don't think Arcade have the ability to chase him down.
Not while Brenda is up finally, it's injured, so advantage back in favour of Arcade.
and player has fallen.
Another chance for EZ to lock in what should have been a comfortable round falls to the wayside.
This may be hinging on where the Jigsaw can deny that plant in the late round.
Tujan wants to try and make his way back to the bomb site.
Mavidal has to come through right now.
And it does!
From Jigsaw.
So Japer killed on that plant.
Zero immediately grabs, recollects that diffuser.
Tujan on for a flank from the cafeteria hallway.
He will need to have an impact now, because there's no ability to deny the plan from down below.
Syro will confirm the plan and now into the post with Arcade still retaining the numbers advantage
and having a player on the top floor pre-fight through the wall.
It does find Syro's life.
Thuhan and Jigsaw together have to play this perfectly if they are to land this retake.
They're serious loves, upstairs, Astros is down below.
They can just kind of keep falling back and even walk outside the building.
24 seconds left counting enterprise desperate to rush on in and try and find loyal we still
Oh, there it is the first one, but there's no time to get on that defuse is about two seconds now
I only have that to get on the defuse aces finds one and the air jab locks too hard out of it
Cheeksort does not have time to get on a bit of user and he's not going to give aces the satisfaction of finding the kill
great clutch up there from Arcade to cover it in the post. With that Arcade have found their fourth
round against Enterprise here. They are really keeping pace with the best in the region.
Great way of playing that discipline 2v2 as well. As I said, splitting the forces one above,
one below. It's so hard to do anything about it. Laurel could have even walked outside the
Garrett store. IG Breeze is surrender type of control. Forced to go back downstairs then retake
take the verticality against so many ways to win it as the attacker and so few
ways to win on the defense. The only downside is when you start, you know,
there you win a bomb side for EP. You gotta go to a different location. So
trying to figure out what works. You can probably play all four at a certain
point in this game. Oh, Cairo jumped out the window. Oh, so he threw out the
window and got shot down. That's what Mark was laughing about in the chat.
Okay, so it was EP deciding to get offensive rather than getting countered by Arcade.
It's kind of crazy that this is 4-4 because Arcade not only haven't won a single game in Stage 2, they didn't win a single game in Stage 1, and in kickoff they actually had a really strong performance, but that was before the team got poached to pieces.
back when they were called Rock LFO. They had a very different roster. It's only Zero
and Loyal who remained on the team from back then.
Yeah, I mean, probably Rock LFO back in stage one and then a putt four. Since then,
they haven't won a single game in stage one or stage two. And just to think that
they could find their first of the year and only of the year is they're not making
get to stage finals against the final playday.
That would be crazy.
Not too easy, just doing a little bit of jiggle here.
It's like I'm kitchen waiting for the drone to come through the hallway.
Not happening just yet.
Ah, okay, they're sitting on the mini-play I feel like.
Off the hatchstrap here from Laurel, with the kitchen hallway at the same time, because
Then the flashbang and take the sound away from two of you, this job could work out, except there's a routine.
So, I'm not sure the plan B is going to be for our kit here.
There are more or less stuff in the hallways now.
Take down Brenda, 200 down all alone, fighting two players.
A simple gunfight is all it could take here, is 200 does find the fader way, that's one
kill onto Jper.
Now worried about the refrag from Asus, right up in his face, the jigsaw has taken out a
loyal client, a kill comes through from Asus, finishes him off as well with a 552.
This is not the bombsite, keep in mind that's all the way down to the basement,
we're into a 2v2 with over a minute left to play.
full on brawlings at the kitchen and the hallways and who must everyone going down in the midst
of that chaos. I think EP will be very happy with this though. They can hold the bomb set
now at both information of Solis, they'll probably some vocal canisters there from the
Goyo and the attack they have spent are a lot of their valuable resources. A single
lion is getting too many and a single canister off those grim bees is all they have to
work with. I guess there are grenades from physics here on the lion. They can
open up one reinforced hatch as well. But other than that, it's 35 seconds and
trying to double up and play the gunfights together.
She needs
This is a good crossfire though jigsaw able to swing on contact here
Nice made
Yeah, we'll isolate this one
Takes down player
What a damage on the jigsaw one kill to jigsaw player now in the light V1 close range should favor him up against the DMR
And the shotgun will strike through for enterprise a fifth round on the board
just too away from finishing off this game.
Really good bit of big play there from player to swing it off in the hallway by the rotate
and enabling his teammate to get the clutch later on.
E.P. finally again leading by one, but our kid are right behind him.
These rounds are quite close.
Coming down to a 1v1, final few seconds of the round as well.
Over there's been banned the way as Sami and the Thur might actually.
I'm a big Thurmite band-enjoyer, especially in maps like Claw Pows and Nighthaven because
there are so many exterior walls that you want to open on pretty much every single bomb
site.
Thurmite is your number one guy for that.
Second-day shotgun, smoking aids, plenty of half-destruction, so solo, most of the
destruction needed.
Same thing for Osami, it works out very well for every single site, very high presence
rate here on Nighthaven Labs and to be fair, most other maps as well.
just about hovering as much down as possible with the final operator bends now being shown from both teams
jigsaw is high on the fendre, that's crazy to me dude
as a fendre is some kind of like game changer that we're gonna bring to it anyway for the mirror
Tell them we're more than good.
They just released the patch notes actually a couple of minutes ago and Fender is getting a buff in the mix he's having.
Increasing his range and damage this much.
They are reducing the activation time to get fully nearsighted by 0.1 seconds I believe.
Please double check that.
That is what I read.
Fnet reaches max range in 1.9 seconds down from two seconds. So yeah, then you decided this
That's above above it's fast
Yeah, but it did give up there might exist a damage charge from 200 increased to 20
So if you've ever survived an exothermic region for you will not anymore you will die
G2 will be scared of that one.
Yup, that's it might be.
This one will trip people up, okay?
Castle Barricade, sorry, Castle Panel Beach Base, I know, I hate it too.
It went from 9 to 10.
So in the last couple of years, this is the third or fourth time that the Castle Barricade
punching requirement has changed, and it's just going to get lost in your mind some
time.
So that was before it goes out to Kyro.
Okay.
Huge moment for him, and that right there could decide the intensity of this round
because Arcade now very much in the back foot and they are not playing any of the future
bofftongue operators either, other than patched up life, but you know, it could maybe help
them out.
Two more Nitros, nice little bait there from the Air Jab and the Nitro Cell immediately
follows love out there from EP.
Three kills in the round for their team, every single one has been from a Nitro Cell
physics.
Just quickly going to look for a three big boom but Tuhan is ready to meet him
down below with the SNG in hand. Loyal form B5. This is where EP lock it in finally. Nice
narrow angle from player. Flawless rounds. Sixth floor up. RK take their tactical time
out. I bet they never I suppose talk through the problems together and see if they can
get a little bit closer. He'd move in that gold post. I mean they were looking competitive
Earlier, for starters, I think we're looking good, but since the side swap, since the tech
timeout for me, EP, and I'm trying a little harder in the server, the very close affair
of the game has shifted slightly, how EP leaned by two with a match point, as you mentioned,
just one round away from being done with the stage, at least with the group stage.
Yeah, for groups, of course, stage finals is coming up, well, actually, it's a big
2 weeks and 2 days in some packs, very exciting times, right around the corner, very much so.
Very exciting times, I wonder if these teams will be bootcamping, of course,
when you talk about the impact of bootcamps international events,
I take about oceanic esports specifically, but also I think this goes for APAC as a whole,
whole but particularly OCE is that the single greatest determiner of how well
any OCE team will do at an international event is how good of a boot camp.
Because back in the day when Fnatic performed extremely well at international events
they would struggle during the local leagues off of it and then they would go
and they would boot camp, they would scrim against you guys, you know, or reigning
world champions at the time and they would relearn everything, they would
catch up essentially and then they would have good performances the top six was
their pick at a six-invitational a very similar story for teams like bliss
either PP in Salt Lake City so I really think that the bootcamp is
everything going into this national event so what about if you're playing a
LAN before you go to the international event?
right like bootcamp on into packs. Good question. Because if you don't bootcamp before a pack
because you want to give it before the major but you don't make the major because you don't
like do well at the LAN then you don't bootcamp at all. Problem is the value of the bootcamp
for Oast teams isn't just that you're in the same location and you're getting
headhits in the game. It's the scrim quality right because if you bootcamp and you're
going Brazil or in North America you have much higher quality scrims. If you're bootcamping
in Melbourne. An event in Melbourne. It's a little bit of a waste. I mean, if you just...
Let's just link up a two-ease house, if you're an EP, right? They all go to two-ease place,
they do like a little, you know, old school style boot camp, they go to the packs, they
qualify for a soccer. Great. Now EP, they will pay for a real boot camp, overseas somewhere,
just grim, EU, NA, ATX, etc. It costs a lot of money for everyone to fly out to
be in the same city. I don't actually know exactly where to go.
It's just Australia. Surely it's wonderful. No, it's not a big place
On the map it doesn't look that big but you do you do the direction thing and oh it takes 70 hours
It's crazy man this size of this place
So yeah, yeah, that's a crazy way actually might be fly out
Maybe I'll so cheap a throw a cyro is saying it thinks it's in to get too fast killed
That's a demo piece of stuff ending. No real denial. No dial at all. All right
There's gonna be a 2v5 retake and very unlikely that this will play as as good as Jigsaw and Brenda
Jigsaw completely run down by that blitz now Brenda who stabbed in the back into flawless round for arcade to reply after the flawless one from
EP five rounds on the board from arcade on the verge of finding their first points of the year on the group stage standings
sub one more round oh just one more round again if this close but they're not
get that final victory to get the point that'll be a shame they called the tack
they had the strat executed perfectly but can you do it one more time here
looking to be the basement bombsite now instead a lot more about the roam here
unless they have actually discussed the possibility of going for a bombsite
direct attack. It would be completely possible. The only thing kind of limiting this factor is that
that firm might has been banned away. You can't just pop the wall and sprint on in.
You could try and mimic it with some Hibana action. I just can't open this and walk on through, but
I feel like RK won't find that to be good enough. So maybe there can be force into a full
run clear, which again, tricky.
Kairos is really gonna do what he can with that Scopos on for the roam, needs to have
a big left-hacks.
Kairos is the ideas man of the squad and he's got a lot of good ones.
That's what I came out ages ago from Enterprise and we didn't really see all that much as
a result of it.
a little double back-to-back defences. They also had three in a row where they
won two attacks at the end of the first half and then in the next defense. That's
really the most of the streak that they've had in this game.
If you get onto the abandoned viento, do a lot of different kinds of destruction,
kinds of mirror windows, and this is what I want to see right here.
Get a breaching on the single and double wall downstairs.
This is just saying, okay, we are threatening the possibility of a bombsite attack.
And there's no mirror window facing over the wall either.
The wall reinforced maybe from the wrong side,
so the player couldn't position it downward entirely certain.
But either way, the lack of that mirror window does mean that
if you find the gap, have a drone, get the timing, or just double up,
player is actually super rushable on the side.
And they might try and go for it down the staircase,
But this human default games
I'm a little scared for EP here arcade have good positions
Player wants to take the risk and take the fight get strung down falls back
We've moved a second drone taken down avert
There are no mirrors inside. Oh, no. My road has been taken down
Ineffective on the scope. What's here comes the air jab from the no man outcomes the nitro cell that arcade a patient
They did not rush into it on the back of that kill.
So players naturally finds nothing.
He's still, oh my God, he gets taken down.
So he's very much normal.
Brenda was actually going downstairs as well,
but it doesn't matter.
It's falling apart.
Arcade, they want that first point to be guaranteed.
Could it be that Arcade, after a year of misery
and woe in the APL, find their first glimmer of hope
against the kings of the region?
Brenda and Tuhan stand in their way,
And Brenda will kick things off.
The first kill is finally the bees will subside.
Tuhan also joins the freight at 2v5 for the game,
is what they need to do now.
And two, he's got Info in the late round.
He can not only find the line,
he can also find the ability to plant.
He's got that, he's found two kills from this position.
He can rotate back down now to try and support Brenda.
And neither of these EP players
could afford to make any mistakes.
Info found, and now Tuhan has been cornered.
It's Brando into the 1v2 Arcade, toss out the Nade, and physics is the one to get the first point on the scoreboard for Arcade!
An entire year of battling, but finally they come up against the Kings and they take their crown!
Winless, no more, or rather pointless, no more, and they say that as well in the endgame chat there from Laurel, there's a point!
The first one! And taking a very close match up here up against EP,
Something that we thought wouldn't really be possible.
You said before, what would be the bar to beat?
Four rounds, five rounds?
How about six rounds, tying it, going into overtime,
and still the chance to fight for one more point?
If they win, they get two.
If they lose, they get a single.
Attackers need to locate and defuse any bombs they can.
Wow.
I can't believe it. I genuinely can't believe it.
We had 8-7, 8-7, and now the number one team in the region versus the bottom team in the region, it's a overtime.
I genuinely cannot believe it.
This has to be like an inside job, not like all the teams came together and said, guys, listen.
Somebody's rigged it.
We go OT, all of us.
We're going to send Os off with a banger on the final playday.
And this is the game that has nothing on the line with it like this was the one game that was okay
Top team bottom team until the EP we move on forward. No, this is the one wall of sudden. It's like okay
Unexpected result so far and I can even become more of an upset if our cake and close it out
Anything's possible with what I'm saying today anything is possible
So that's a new attack now for Arcade.
It's been two rounds in a row on this attacking side, two squandered opportunities to finish
off this game for Arcade.
Apparently Nate from Arcade was telling the admins before this game that he had a feeling
it was going to go to OT.
Absolute memeage.
I just genuinely can't believe it.
Time to make a new move.
I'm changing backs!
When they strike first, when they find that opening, can they force the issue?
The issue of arcade, if anything, has been a little bit of consistency,
especially in the early stage of the rounds.
You can find the opening pick right now that would solidify them for the round to come.
The green bees are out, the mag is still catching projectiles, the grenades might not hit their
intended mark, it's Tyro, laying by the wall instead of electric.
It's again, waiting for the right moment.
Okay, very much like before, it's getting locked out of the building, unable to progress
accordingly while time is just ticking away.
be fabled. Patience here for Arcade, but it's like they're waiting for E.P. to make a mistake.
Oh, actually, as I say that, Tujan is about to flank. Is J.P. going to watch it at the
right moment? He's just gone on his drone. Surely he hears it, but no, too late. Tujan
has found the pick. E.P. back into the driver's seat with the opening. Arcade stole
Hold out once again, mirror window is still to be cleared.
The good job there from 2A Barrick here in the door as well as hosting the gap of a new
attacker with a tie road towards Aqua.
You gotta break the barrier first, give her your location and then you know the back
stuff is happening.
You see three people here though, it's once meeting and connector and then another
player the fourth and final one outside left electric window.
It's a very linear attack from Arcade.
Not what you'd normally want to see on this map on this bomb site, it gets worse.
gets one, Kairus E4, but I get it, it's not throwing a pyre very quickly. Shot from loyal though,
right around this corner, Pyre is just waiting, he should be out of witness fight. Oh,
2-1 finds one, Cheeksaw swings for the second, Enterprise have a third opportunity,
unmatched point now to finish off this game.
Side swap again, time and time. Now the big question, if we'll have to go the entire
away to another 8-7 or if EP can close that out cleanly. They've done a little
bit of trolling in this game and a little bit of logging in also in this
game. There are two sides of every team. Let's see which one shows up for EP.
It was a bit of a disappointing attack inside there from IK. They just
didn't find any real attack going and they're also just allergic to
playing the shield operators they generally just seem to either not have a
player who likes to play those kind of operators are just not wanting to bring
it out today whatsoever I do think this is a couple of times now where a black
beard a blitz a monty could have been beneficial not to be
bomb located by attackers
Well, if they ought to finish it off and come down to this attack round...
E.P. decided not to go with any shields.
You said, okay, don't like it.
They banned pure-to-shields against E.P. and Blackbeard decided to be fork-on by Cairo
this time around.
One of the ground floor bomb site storage and control is E.P.
They make their way towards the building.
Let me get to work for E.P. No more screwing around.
This has been way too long of an affair.
They should not be getting pushed this hard by Arcade.
E.P. are meant to be a poster child for OCE to make a splash on the international stage.
And at the moment, that means they need to hell of a lot better than getting 7-2'd by Circular Spheres
and then losing to Arcade or at least going to Overtime.
Imagine if you've been at Twitch Chat in Joyer and you put some of those points on Arcade in this match shop
Payout is about to be unreal if they can win two more ounce get this one one the attack shows their full potential
Big pay they could become in somebody's way
But again, who's crazy enough to go for that sort of
Sort of bet if you will
Well, it doesn't say how well though
First there goes down Gabriel on the solace no more
This is Loyalth, right there in the corridor, he drives back.
I just deny that so much I just will keep that mirror window alive and intact.
A little bit of pain though, the day most time the dockery target him together.
Oh nice nitro cell, see you later player, another one for Loyalth.
14 rounds ain't enough, thank you.
I don't care about OT, I care about 15 rounds.
The third match in a row tonight.
Arcade are about to push us there.
And the Loyalth is launching us there in style.
Brembo in a 1 versus 4, and Loyalth is hunting him down.
Affected by the air jab, it's a little small bit, but Brembo will punish him.
A trade from 0, and Arcade have sent us the distance.
15 rounds.
Arcade, what is going on?
8-7, 8-7, and a third 8-7 in a row on the final playday.
And this match of all of them, the top team against the bottom seeded, Tina has gotten
zero points across the entire competitive year, and they are one round away now from causing
the upset and gain the victory, which for one team doesn't matter at all, for the
other, probably not a huge consequence with good effects of seeding, if you will,
get into the nitty gritties of that. But they gotta do it on the attack. The place
that Arcade has struggled probably the most, where E.P. seemingly also has
struggled the most.
Honestly, Arcade deserves this point, guys. Are they doing? It's yours. Just give it to
us. Let's just skip the final round.
How many rounds of siege did we cast in the last 24 hours?
Not even 24 hours, because AML didn't start until about 2am my time last night, which
was 20 hours ago, I think.
Not 20 hours ago.
I'll get back to you in about 60 seconds, okay?
I'll do some quick maps here.
I'm sure you can just ask AI man.
Isn't that the whole point?
We're asking AI to do a hard job for us.
objective is to locate a bomb and defuse it you're a very slow answer what's
the only thing that yourself maybe I'm looking at it now 11 20 20 6 oh actually
that's insane 106 rounds so far I assume I mean there's an 8-7 obviously
So I did that right hundred and six rounds
That's my
46
Slow
45 is 105
Yeah, 105. That's what I can all you count. I
Can't let it a hundred and six, but let's go with let's go in between
105
got 105 so I mean you're just I can't believe that do 105 rounds in the last
20 hours what the hell but those of you know we did you last night and we had
two overtime games as well this is our fifth overtime fifth overtime match in
a row oh yeah it's actually true we entered the night with two overtime
just throw a fight around though see what takes it extension in kitchen basement
roam game yeah happening right now actually cargo roaming game rather so
as a vertical as a horizontal extension there on basement is there nobody in the
bumps that they have four people roaming one guy bare on the side to one
holding up with you live here comes the pressure green bees pre buyers he
He is the first bit of damage though.
Gabor, taking a little bit of health at all.
He's in such a precarious spot here, like he's not taking cover.
He's just waiting and he's going to lose that battle.
Opening kill for Arcade on match points.
Enterprise being forced back deeper towards the bombsite.
They have no confidence.
This is not the Jigsaw I know.
This is not the Jigsaw that we have seen at international events.
a jigsaw who's been forced back tail between his legs and enterprise who have been picked apart by the team at the
bottom of the standings
Arcade are really making a statement
The Sunset their season and player can't even find the shot in the shotgun
post-range and he finds nothing
Arcade are looking to pry this game out of EPs cold dead hands
only 30 seconds to arcade and speed up and if you do it at the wrong way at
wrong timing would be called Nick Crossfire right now get shot down low
actually to kill for Cairo
Big size time is thinking back to even further into nano now he wants to keep fattling here
10 seconds
Mars taking health a lot of damage the execute has to come through now here from arcade but
aces has been shut out
I'm breaking with a big double traded back by zero
Mikasaan, you know him as Jigsaw, I know him as the man that finally pushed this game to bed for EP.
Barely a sigh of relief as the number one team in this region barely gets a win over the bottom of the table.
The biggest surprise that I have seen all stage long as it takes 15 rounds for EP to finally conquer Arcade.
Jigsaw backed up against the wall, has to go for the crazy swing,
jumps the road, take down the planter, so finally hit some life shots in the server.
It took way too long to get activated, but EP, they will be the victor.
The heart of the fort victory going the distance.
The most surprising matchup of tonight.
I did not see this one coming, and I gotta say, praise to Arcade.
I think we can argue that EP might have started a bit slow here.
It took a tech time out and they said guys we gotta try harder to win because these guys are pressuring us quite well in the server
This was argued doing a great job at simply keeping up with EP
Looking at how that affects the standings EP get two points out of that game. They will stay in the top position
But yeah, it's it's not good. It's not great at all
What was the result of the seven game trying to remember the exact really exact school line of the game between seven and secular
I have two numbers in my mind it is 8 and it is 7 you can put them on the left side of
my side it doesn't matter it is 8 and it is 7 that's true that does mean that EP do stay
at the top I should never ask what the score was today because every single one of our
matches has been an 8 7 45 rounds so far we still have one game to play at maybe that
What is the most soul-sucking win you could ever get?
I mean, yeah, you come out of there.
It doesn't even feel like a victory, no?
It's like, oh, the game is over.
Thank God.
Anyways, it's going to be like, I think we got Nate on the line.
Please, mate, save us.
We had to watch 15 rounds of that.
You had to watch 15 rounds of that.
I heard that you made a joke coming into today
to the admins that this was going to go to O.T.
And I hate you for that.
What the hell just happened bro, like come on.
I'll be honest, I am not going to take away a single thing from Arcade because I thought
that they did very well at keeping up, but I think the level and the pace that we brought
into the game was ridiculously slow.
It was too fragile for no reason, and whether that be complacency on our behalf, which
is a bit on me and a bit on the team, that may be the case, but like it once again,
It just shows that it doesn't matter how good the team is if you don't come prepared and you don't come wanting to win
Then anything can happen, right? Obviously we got the 8-7 win and that's a testament to two days in a row now
We've had to play 8-7s and we closed it out regardless of what people think if it should have been close or not
But I mean once again, they still got the win so a wins a win, but obviously a big props shows
okay boys for
Giving you guys a third otenor
If you can't believe you we did last night, oh yeah, yeah, that's a bad word days for us
So I imagine that the tech time you guys called I think it was after the first four rounds like that
Was that a thousand guys? We got a show up today
We got a try a little bit harder because it will not be an easy matchup because you guys did start from behind
I think one three and had to mount that comeback
It was to be honest the comes today weren't necessarily the boys went trying that income in there wasn't just like
I was like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
sunshine rain, but it wasn't really like that.
I think it was more, they were putting up more of a fight
than expected.
And then like you said, it started 1-3.
Yeah, and it started 1-3 and we were just like,
okay, I took the tack and I pretty much said,
hey boys, let's just focus on our decals a bit more.
Let's just start pushing as five.
Because there was two rounds there where we lose first
pick and we win in solo again, 5v3.
And it doesn't matter what team you're versing,
the world 5v3 is a hard.
It gives, I think the stats like what,
80% of the rounds you lose 5v3.
So we weren't doing ourselves any favor.
And I think all the games that we've been very dominant this stage, it was off the back of a really strong entry presence.
And I mean, if I'm taking away anything, I think it shows somebody we need to work on or something that we actually can improve going into packs is,
okay, boys, we should be focusing more on what are we going to do when we're in man disadvantage, how can we recover rounds and what's the plan ahead?
Solid for sure.
You end up first place at the moment in the league, you keep that top spot.
Chiefs technically do have a way to steal it back from you, if they really slap Aneos in their next game.
But I think it's pretty likely you guys will finish off groups as the number one team.
Knowing that there's only one spot up for grabs, knowing that the qualifiers through packs,
does that change anything? The fact that you're playing on LAN for the spot, how does that go?
Oh, I'm so excited. The only thing that changes I think is motivation, obviously.
And I think all the boys, including me, I love that LAN environment.
It makes everything 10 times more intense. It makes it better.
and it really shows like oh you can play online but can you play in front of a crowd can you play
with a land environment I think it should be awesome well I weird to say but commiserations
on the game today even though you guys won it I know it's not the result you were looking for
but congrats on making it to PAX and we'll see you in Melbourne in two weeks. I think it also
with all due respect to Arcade like I know that's their first point in two stages but
that was they did put up a fight regardless so just a big shout out to them once again and
obviously a shout out to you boys. You're the second interviewee in a row that we've had tonight
that has shouted out Arcade, so they must be doing something right. But yeah, thanks, Nate,
and we'll chat to you soon. There's a Radeon, Nate, both of them. Plenty of lovely things to say
about Arcade. This is insane. 7-8, 7-8, 7-8. Well, if the trend continues,
it's going to be a 7-8 in favor of team Anios. The standings don't lie. Our final
match of the night is coming up. We're going to rush into it as soon as we possibly can. So do not
go anywhere. Chiefs taking on Team Adios after this quick break.
I'm so fucking hungry, I don't even see what I'm fighting.
of
the
No, boss, no, boss.
three eight sevens in a row here in the final day of APL with packs on the
rise and we know our four teams but we don't know how tonight finishes I think
at this point the question isn't who goes to packs who wins who loses the
question is can we have the longest night of APL ever? Could we have 4-8 seconds? I don't think I've
ever done a broadcast with 4-8 seconds. I think we already have. Even if we 7-0 the final game,
haven't we already beaten the record for the year at least? I think we have. I think we have.
I think we have at least for a round count. We're 5 so far. 15 coming up. Cheese of course
will be the ones that try and stop that. Now, cheese actually do have something to play for
here, Pengu, because in the regular group stage, SI points get dealt out, and the the
pricing obviously matters a lot, and for Cheese, they have a chance to go first place in the
group stage, but they do need to win this match 7-0 in order for that to happen, in order
for their round difference to actually beat out Enterprise.
I'm sorry, I spaced out.
Bro, you okay?
I spaced out.
Bro, I got distracted and I didn't hear you say it, so now there's Sidney being like,
oh my god, I don't want to get the same thing as you.
I said, I'm pretty sure I didn't say the same thing as you, well you won't get the
same thing as me because I said, wow, the only way that they can jump up on the standings
to come first is if they win this match 7-0.
Ooh, okay, so, I mean, honestly, how are this, right?
Whoever wins the first round, they just go all the way.
Well, man, that's it, they win.
Gonna take some double runs like that.
I like that.
I think we should do that.
Well, I'm all for it, right?
The thing is, team Annie is-
Lunsbox is, dude, he's never in his,
I swear to God, he's never in his chair.
It's been a whole year now.
Every time I watch this player camp,
he's always over there on the defense side.
I mean it would be pretty fitting to come in first seed into the stage but yeah I mean team
team. Manios on the flip side.
their opposition for today. Team
Manios funnily enough find
themselves in a spot where they
are guaranteed to end up in
sixth place. It doesn't matter
if they win this game, seven
zero. They will remain in sixth
place. Doesn't mean it doesn't
matter if they lose at seven
zero. They will also not move
at all. But it could well be
the final match for Chef Jeff.
He was hinting in the last
playday that this could be the
end of it for him. He's, I
believe, going into full time
work next year. Probably
able to commit to competing alongside of that. So it would be a pretty sad day to say goodbye
to Sheffi. I hope that we do see him around, perhaps in the SI quals. He made it all the
way to turn off the SI quals last year. So it would be sad to see him go. Perhaps a
memorable 8-7 over the Chiefs would be a hell of a way to finish off his career.
I would be going out of bang as I mean he's a very well-distributed player in that regard
also one of the I think the person who plays the most Thunderbird in the world he's like
the the sole player brings some attention towards like a player in the world he's also
the only one that he's the best one but he is the best one and Gus when him and I
working together doing a previous play day for it was a peck north I think it was
We did like a little trivia where where would what was it? Where would be?
There's a certain defender where they would rank like in the in it
Oh, it's jackal jackal ranker that the most of these played and I was like, oh thunderbricks cannot be all the way down there
He's like, oh, there's one guy who plays me. I'm like who is it?
Jeff Jeff Jeff is on the bridge. Let's see what that will be playing in this VO3
Both of these teams played layer for their last matches. Finally enough
She's actually had a bit of a struggle against banter left on their previous game
So it could be leather, cheese banded out, fortress or border, it's a choice between the two brown maps
and it's gonna be border that we go to. All right, thank you. Look, this makes me happy.
I don't care whether this is a 7-0 or an 8-7, the fact that we get to see border tells me that this game is gonna be
sprightly, it's gonna be full of energy and it's gonna be chaotic, which is exactly what I want to see out of
chiefs and out of the chef himself.
Also just a new map, right? Like we've been working a lot of different games here
I don't believe we did a single game of order yesterday for you. They're gonna single
That's right, so welcome for that. Let's get into the action team annuals versus the chiefs
Big chance now for chiefs if they win this 7-0 they take the cake they rock it up and
Jump over enterprise for the number one team in the region
But of course the head to heads tells a very particular story between these two teams.
Anios on the flip side, while they can't rock it off in the stands,
while they cannot make it to the stage finals at Pax in Melbourne,
they're still fighting for a lot.
For Proxy for his career, he has had such an incredible stage.
Definitely one of the contenders for Rookie of the Year here in OCE in 2026.
And also, but chef chef, if this is to be his final match in tier one, it would be desirable to send it off in an exciting fashion.
Go your band away, big fan.
Ying as well.
Maybe a glass wall?
Oh my god.
Will be a glass wall up.
Oh, the reed door.
Yeah, the warden band is kind of cold.
I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, it doesn't matter that much now.
I mean Blitz gets kind of activated, but imagine that you had gotten either the glass or the yin through the operator band phase, you had gotten an incredible amount of value.
I mean even just running smokes to go for Executes is still very powerful. I'm seeing Teased out in the first round, Monty, adding Blitz, and even the fact that Chiefs ban out the warden, what it does is it means that Anios kind of have to ban the yin glass, which means they haven't done any shields, which means Monty, the most powerful shield, arguably, is going to be left unbanned.
And you can combo that with another shield particularly the blitz who as you say is extra powerful with that ward and band out
Also archives rushes and rushes of any sort for that master to be far more powerful with that Goyo band out
Now you look at the lineup here from any os what plant denial
Have you got what area to know what time burn? Have you got no smoke? No Goyo note to chunker and
No nor as well, which surprises me a little bit
So all you're relying on to kill any potential turtle plant is two C4s
And perhaps if you're lucky to impact grenades, and I don't think that's gonna be enough if chiefs bring the fire
I'm in a day. She ever's cooking once again right thunderbird main up there being on the Oryx now as well
Fast operator in Rainbow six each go for a dad shot look for a pig doesn't find any headshots
But this is behind the pressure
Say look at me
cautious of the continuous runouts
machine of course and solos got a bit of verticality as well
for the side of chiefs though they can kind of simplify the problem here just
gonna pick an area of the map and attack that area
east air security for example send five attacks of you work together
the grenades, the flashbang, the monty in there and of course once you realize they have an
oryx
which they probably do already make sure that wherever it kind of goes
the gun follows shortly after. Why Chef Jeff like we'll just dash in there and
happily go on the one.
have done that regardless here a minute and a half. Chiefs can not make no way
towards the bomb site. The thing about Monty though is that you get continuous
progress you know like when you're in there goes your store line and it's
completely standing still never like that with Monty you're always just
moving a little bit forward a little bit forward even though the timer is looking
a little bit dangerous here from the side of Chiefs they are getting closer
and closer every second. Let it go to the sides first though but you can't
as in the bombsite can the Frank watch upstairs business will know it's swing
there from our can also get an hour to stick the plant despite everything
happening okay I don't want to say about that round I mean she's you had the
double shield you've been at the Goya you've been at the warden you had
everything you in theory would have needed and then bang she chef Jeff
immediately says no first for you and that's true now the chef has denied a
a 7-0, then she cannot come first in the group stage.
Unlucky.
So it does feel like the players know what's on the line going into these matches, huh?
Because that was a question we had earlier.
How much are the players actually aware of the stakes, the exact round score, the type barriers, etc.
But then again, this is the final match of the day.
The mathematics are a little bit simpler now.
When we woke up this morning, I checked the group chat that we had.
And it was just like, if X wins in regulation, why happens?
If X wins in overtime or not in regulation, these things happen and it is their multitude of similar complicated problems.
I'm noticing that the norm has been brought out by ACOG, which is definitely a good move,
with the amount the Chiefs have seemingly tended to run these shields.
I do notice the shield makes the appearance in the second round. I wouldn't have minded to see Monty Ann Blitz, particularly for an archives push.
I just feel like archives push through so powerful into this setup, particularly because there is no smoke pick.
Crazy to me. No smoke pick whatsoever.
I guess Annie also really relied on the Nord to be the primary shield counter.
I think she kind of wants to go for a up reach, that's why it's because of that.
Yeah, so you can fly in, stop the animation, get this Ditchhammer out, just fly in that window.
But it has to be kind of covered with the sound.
That's where the Sophia Stonze, the Fire from Capital, just chaos in general will go a very long way.
So do they have to settle for it? Are they prepared for this post? It's a bit of all and nothing.
Well, you peek out from Proxy, our chef and chiefs will be able to get into the bomb site
very nicely, multiple players going deep, lunchbox ADSing to lock Proxy out of it, chef
now.
1v4 trying to confirm his kill onto Wettables, trying to open up the gates, very slow going
isn't it.
Nitro might be able to win this fight onto lunchbox indeed, now this would be one hell
way to send off the career. Two kills in the round already. Let's try and finish off.
Where do balls go for the jump out? Why not? Get that KD, my friend. Relays in
Jakenna now. In the post-plant and the fire. Fires to lock him up. Up close and personal.
I think he just saw Jakenna. But the shotgun gets him first. Chiefs, we find their first round.
Beautiful. Kind of a pre-meditated push right there. They did lose the first member.
the Sophia on the rappel outside of security balcony but didn't matter because if the plant goes down and you get into that post
That is exactly where you want to be and it didn't sound too fashion that both the capital fire arrows left remaining
They could just fire arrow wait the 15 seconds fire arrow time is up
So it really was a quote-unquote unwinnable position there for the defense of Timania's unfortunately
Are they now in effort of an attempt to shift up?
I mean a couple of kills and they're going to look very winnable for a second.
I wonder after this round what the third operator ban is going to be.
I feel like if you're any else you're probably going to get rid of the Blitz.
Leave the Monty up.
Yeah, it could be.
Get rid of Blitz.
All vice versa.
If you're chiefs, do you get rid of the Mira? Do you get rid of the Nor, the first Nor-Band
that we see? Love chiefs' energy.
I mean, we've seen some frustration from any of us this stage, whilst they expected greater
things than what we'd seen from them. Fourth place in groups in stage one was actually
pretty solid. Stage finals didn't go quite as well as they had hoped, but still not
end of the world for them considering how competitive the region has become recently.
As for Chiefs, I mean they were first placing groups in stage one. They were the first team to
qualify for the Esports World Cup from OCE after winning the upper bracket final against EP. They
have been taken down a notch a little bit after losing player and their coach, Nate. I think
that really does make it harder in the head-to-head matchup against EP. I'm actually gonna go for a
for a run out here with an impact.
Oh, what, okay.
Worth it, my chef.
Chef, chef.
Yeah, very much.
He's happy about it too.
He knows that he got the victory there.
Mute for Monty is extremely high value,
full pass to Mute 2 versus the activity
of the Monty gadget.
And also gonna be the big win condition
of course for all the setup teams.
That together with the Nomad and Deimos
are kind of like the three pillars of this round.
Maneos came to the same office and to nice the mirror windows
Even here they can use I'm not sure what it's for but
Gatcham the ceiling
Yeah, hit the shoulder
There's a little poke poking around you know looking for a bit for free be proxy finally goes for the detention run out
He's been sitting there the entire round higher time. Oh my god. What info do you have?
Good ears as opposed there are no cams outside the building right now that chef Jeff has been watching so
Have you heard a rappel sound or something like that?
Issue is that all these fountain walls are very soft. There are two sparing boxes in pocket
Coupe toes and these angles if you really wanted to have stimaños
You got that mirror window deep inside of office and it's too good to give that up
So they're gonna stick around with the extension and it's just gonna spread out the defense a little bit more
Living armory and live the vulnerable
Feel like chiefs are gonna have to ban the mirror after this rounds
Any else are playing into it very well and look chiefs could have decided to play Kali or
Ash or one of the very straight up and down counters, but they decided not to now they go deep relays finds one
Traded back lunchbox will fall across fires proxy finds three in the round finishing off one of those kills
Weddables will trade him back, but that's fine because machines going deep into CCTV and he also in the lead
Chiefs now have a chance to ban out that mirror and
Find a couple of more attacks
Has been quite the obstacle for them. So I think it's a good shout about considering that as an operator ban
If not the mirror, I'm trying to think other options. I wouldn't hate the clipping band away, but it hasn't been influential yet.
But this is border. It's a very pickable glue map.
Mute jammers, if you struggle with droning, probably going to be the mirror all the time at the end of the day.
It usually is.
Oh, you're spot on. James, it is indeed going to be the mirror and the Monty's are no surprises there.
I would have thought that the Blitz would be more impactful than the Monty.
I guess the Monty kind of combos better with other shields like the Monty and Blitz, Monty
and Blackbeard.
I feel like the combo is what makes them so good because Monty is the ultimate planter.
Just a matter of like Monty can just go where he please is which is again it's just
so easy man.
Where's the Blitz?
It's so easy.
there but C4 and it's just completely gone.
I actually got one thing wrong earlier, talking about the stakes of the game if I can quickly
submit this point.
The Anios actually were technically in 7th place.
Oh no sorry, they are in 6th place.
They actually did have the chance to drop to 7th place because the Academy got one
point for their match earlier today.
Any else just had to make sure that they didn't lose
So now that they've won two rounds they guarantee that they lock in six
Oh, that's gold, dude
He's doing everything you can first brought out the Thunderbird for
He's decided to turn into the content machine his final game. What could be his final game? Well confirmation, but it sounds like it's quite likely
Maybe it depends on the snapshot where to win it isn't a high
But if he loses he wants to keep going also look at his value machine on 20 HP
Sprinting the direction
Off the Thunderbird station the K-Conas and get hit by it and get back to full HP. Look at that
We got a health bar.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
He's been here for literally already.
Value.
He's actually so slow, isn't it?
Like, look, he's still waiting to heal up.
They buffed it.
Yeah, I know.
They buffed it by 50%.
They probably triple it.
And it's still not going to be a great operator.
He's full HP, though.
Look at him go.
And Chef Jeff has found a pick as well.
The value is in the top five and two now for Chef Jeff.
You'll just see me back to four,
basically being a doc on the go.
Oceaners, can they find a little bit more?
Because a little bit more might be required.
His in-back grenade is timed correctly and not spent immediately
and cast the attackers by surprise.
But they actually don't know what's up with their keys.
And we're not just trying to harass the proxy,
but there's three players on the top floor.
You'll find the kill.
Gennet enables it.
Chef, Jeff, and Acog not too far apart.
Arcanum also can dash on over to try and support these defenders holding onto that top floor.
Relays knows punish Sheffie
Even the corner stations won't be able to heal him from a headshot like that
When does a cock fall back down?
Seems like chefs in high spirits against relays
Hello, that's it. Oh, we get out. Yeah, you're gonna die. Yeah, let's use your devolved rosy
I'm gonna bring it back for one still got a nitro never mind
Hey cock in the bomb site down on the way to Bulls but guess who's there it's to Kenner and he's harassing the hell out of poor a
Cog chiefs find another round to two
So what you're seeing is that it's a very close game going back and forth. Yeah, I feel like we're on track for something
What's like a close score line in Siege?
I feel like we could be on track for a close score line.
I mean, if you go 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, you keep going.
3-2, 3-3, 4-3, 4-4.
8-7, right? At the end.
8-7, I guess so. I feel like we've seen those before.
8-7?
Haven't we seen 8-7?
Oh yeah, it would be the fourth in a row tonight.
Mmmmm, fourth in a row.
We're also making the sixth OT game in a row, since EML last night had already finished on two overtime.
Although not 8-7s, but still.
sixes
that's rookie numbers
i think it's funny because yesterday
at the start of our EML shift we were talking to the analysts and we were like
hey isn't it funny that every playday of APL that we've cast has been like
707172 so I'm excited for some close games
and then we get this we get the closest playday I have ever casted
any high cost I left it is worth noting that this could become if this game goes the entire
distance the most dragged out the moustache longest single a play they have any region
ever I cannot recall ever seeing four max 30s in any like era of the game because it
could have been you know max 30 first to 76 back in the old days so to speak I don't
that's happened either. I cannot recall this ever being the case, but we're not there yet. It's only
three in a row. T-Manios versus Cheese, a two and two. With some round to cover before we get there.
Also, they're now playing Rook with the shield. Let's go T-Manios. I think Rook is actually a
strong operator in Proprio. Not even you. Rook, primary, shotgun, Reaper, secondary. You get
25 extra health on every defender. You get a C4, which you can use to find the plan that's
What's happening right now, but they know what's happening, so the plant will go down and Rook is not going to be influential at all.
Machine does get one kill with the Reaper, however, and in the 3v3 this is very winnable, no claim on the door.
We spy the yellow boss.
He needs to know about the position outside on the bus, and I think Jakenna is watching it.
Indeed he is. He's got it unlocked.
And the Rook armor will not save Neptune, Machine nor Proxy, so cheese, we'll take the lead.
Well, that was actually a great execute there on the attack because the EMP, the solace,
so they couldn't figure out where the plant was going down.
Had the rook made a few bigger holes there in the ceiling off the ventilation bump side,
you could just drop a C4 down to the floor.
Maybe that's what Katja said, maybe not, depends on small details, right?
But it's possible that you could have gone for a plant denial, and this is the danger
of having any shield with the Thatcher.
You can plant out of no way.
You need no side setup.
Just a smoke grenade, which the Blitz has to themselves,
so that you shoot even.
And then the Thatcher.
You right click, you have to scanner out.
You can left click to see force there.
Could become a very quick round victory for you.
Now machine, explain the clash.
From pulse to rook to clash.
They are literally trying to flick surround us.
Many operators are humanly possible right now,
and I am all for it.
Thank you. I've been talking to my friend, my friend, ChatCPT.
I said, search the Wikipedia, Rambo, Sixwiki and check if there have ever been any playdays of any ATLeaks where the scores of every match has been 8-7.
And checked, and it said, cannot find any playday.
However, we've had some players with multiples.
For example, APAC South 2021, Stage 2 Play Day 3. It had an 8-7 of Chiefs versus Invictus.
But also some regulation games. We had some NAL 2022, NAL 2026.
We also had EML 2026, but never all 8-7s.
Interesting. So, one of all those records potentially?
guess we'll just have to wait and see and now I know what's at stake and we do
have confirmation already that is the longest playday of this this year I
believe across the board so there is that have the entire year of this
case the entire year a car not a one point of health though this could be
chiefs taken around fleet by two as now they have two different defenders
and a single point of health and they find those opening picks and surely they get this round but
they strike back proxy safes his teammate takes down one player on his box and puts relays and
jay in a hole for low hp as well. So many low hp players here for any else feels like they're
barely alive. It'd be nice to have a thunderbird right now wouldn't it? Acre goes down,
body shot from wettables with the dmr. Don't worry about that goo mine for wet but he does
Let's pull it out eventually.
They're struggling the whole way right now, back and forth trading.
But I think G-Zone out on the losing side of this one, the only upside for them is still nowhere in Jeff Zess.
Arcana and Proxy is still on HP, but look at that headshot.
Takes when it was down cleanly.
They still got that clash from machine with full HP.
Oh, it's been back and forth.
Oh team has been ahead by two rounds in this game so far.
Ananios looked to continue that stat. Neptune and Jakena try to regroup.
Neptune coming in from east stairs. Jakena separated over the armoury side.
Chiefs not revealing as of yet where they're going to go for their execute.
But the most important thing is getting away from that clash.
There's no possible way that you can look for an execute while machine is up in your face.
Gina wants to keep them guessing though. Oh no! Machine run away! Without his shield he got baited and now Neptune is snuck in behind enemy lines, traded back by Proxy but now a 1v2 called upon for Jakenna to clutch up.
Arcanum, very low HP. But still, one bullet from the DMR is one bullet from the DMR. He needs to come through. The Nade could certainly help him out.
Proxy's coming in and I think he's hungry for it.
Arcanum taken down.
Proxy now into the 1v1.
Jakenna forcing that player down.
And Proxy can easily clutch it up for Anios.
It's 3-3 at the end of the first half.
We cannot stop.
It's always closer than ever here in APL.

Just burn it up, burn it up till I die
My money wrong, project wrong, feel at home
Got the juice many made, I'm calling game in its face
Soon as Slim hit a J, money game, my people wrong
I'm gonna be long till we y'all see it
No, I'm still in the stage, get rid of what I do
I know to get tight off how I move
I still ain't get a ride, I'm from the New Tunis
Yeah, I knew you would claim that we was cool
Really, I was just painted by the rules
Still moving like gang, I ain't got nothing to lose
My whole store won't go until I shone
And that's why I just try to keep you school
Then all of my clients is to prove
That I can make it all real without their news
And for the haul, I'm planning on stopping soon
All I know is how I came in for the new
Never would have thought we would reach this by then, but it's 3-3, we're even, again.
Anios has brought it back, now we swap sides, chiefs onto the defence, Anios onto the attack.
Anios are playing with not a care in the world.
Proxy is in fire, he is unbelievable today.
Watching up that last round as well, let's see what the operator bands end up being.
Cha-Chi PT got back to me.
It says that the most number of 8-7s in the single playday, and it did like a thorough
search, is only two 8-7s in one playday.
And that was in NAL, stage two of 2022, playday one.
two out of the five matches were eight sevens
can you come and see him for yesterday's talks
does that mean
that's a great question
ask tpt
well i can't ask tpt everything man
exactly kill the world's water supply gotta stop right now while you're ahead
I just brain-banal
24 worlds carrying the second half of the stage
what are you talking about?
I don't know
wait what is it what's carrying what?
2024 vods carrying the second half of the stage
I think he's talking about watching back old vods and stealing strats from like
things that played to music
so I'm representing old strats
is that up to the best we can rise that problem
smart idea you always say right you have to say that there are the uh...
suck the innovators
there are the
you know it
refineries yeah and you take all the strats you refine them and make them
better
versus you create a shaft of the first time
you know that the difference in
how you put these things
something wrong with getting a little bit of creative inspiration from
people
it's called influence
she's on the defense it's a lot of info gathering
pulse and solace
i don't which is getting targeted by the danos relays
those to play his mirror position
i'm noticing more and more people running the tcst with a powerful suppressor
yeah you've been you've been making a note of this for the last 20 hours
i think it's interesting noticing that
here we go
I love that striker dude.
From Chikena.
I'm loving this.
So much damage.
The sentry to counter the shields.
This is like the underrated shield counter that gets it back.
You always say, oh he just walked on in.
C4 and 2 impact against him.
Solo killer shield if done like very well there.
Chikena almost does that towards machine.
Bit of a battle back and forth though.
And T-Manias are not on the winning end of this one.
Losing 2 players, machine on very low HP.
T have to be very cautious not to the two mostly force and two Griswold mines from the Ella
And the way forward I'm not sure
And now it's gonna be two players he stares and then I can I'm here after the window. No, I'm two players he stares
She's looking solid now
She's still low on HP and there's two nitros left up the chiefs
Sheffy looking at cook buck here
And he's about to get detected by
Lunchbox on the pulse, pre-fire through the wall from Chikeno.
With damage as of yet.
That default cam, Wettables takes down Chef Jeff.
The machine will trade for one with the Monty.
But of course lunchbox is down below and he's got a C4 with that pulse as well.
He's going to keep on tracking him.
Nitro luck that had come out in a brief moment.
We should surely get the kill.
As soon as Box puts that cardiac sensor away and gets out the nitro, it's gonna end with the line finishing.
It's gonna make his way forward, out comes the nitro cell, but Lunchbox hasn't blown it, or at least I think it missed.
Instead he'll get up close and personal, and you can all finish it off.
Lunchbox, time to stand up.
There we go.
like it's just it's every time oh the channel is munching as well with a real
do you think cereal is soup cereal what do you think cereal is soup cereal
breakfast cereal cereal no I don't think it is it's a hot dog a sandwich no I
I don't think it is
What
Yeah, he's on the floor. He just like leans over takes it up takes a bite with the spoon of the floor puts it back down again
Cuz it isn't a desk space or whatever. I don't know
Wait, what if he's got a clean floor? I mean, he's on a plate
It's not like the food is on the floor the food to a plate and the place
No, man, that's that's pretty
Sound like I washed your floors more often than I might have done.
I have a dog.
If I put food on the floor, that food is not staying there for very long.
Ah, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
I, uh...
Oh, I thought I disappeared.
Okay.
I thought I vanished there for a second, but it's in fact not me.
It was the game.
I-
I feel like I haven't had enough samples.
I think it's like it's time to not any by all right
Vibes man, can I please?
Listen to the vibeous tunes that you've got because I hear a little birdie told me that it's actually our observer that crash
But the match is still happening. So instead of watching it through the feet of the game
We get to watch it through the emotional expressions of the players faces because this round will still play out
So can we get some vibe?
Could you call on the players and tell the train of face cam onto a monitor as well? We get tunes with the vision
Oh, here we go
There we go. Yeah, I can hold up
Right, this is the most
It's okay. We can see the player kind it's 5v5 right now. Let's say oh Monty's dead
There's an ash alive and no mad live and a solid snake see that
So it's 4v5 in favor of the defense.
Oh my god.
He's trust me, bro.
At ease.
Right now, it's outside of intonation.
Outside of the East Staircase.
Look into Scanit.
He goes with the scan of a solid snake.
She's a player somewhere in the East Stair's hallway.
Has to go for that engagement.
Has to spare Nadenpunkle as well to use it.
And we are back.
Look, that was a Monty.
I was right.
He died.
But everyone's dead.
Hold up.
It's just too, it's 4 now.
When did that happen?
I don't know, man.
You tell me.
the one that has... Oh!
That shot from Arcanum.
CLA to lunchbox. A cog needs to get back into the fray and help out his teammate. Very low HP on Arcanum.
Arcanum is outside in spawn though, so gotta catch up on the action, my friend.
Get that diffuser, go into East, staircase, join your teammate, or go into the grave, relay says.
I mean just out of 1v0 nothing, it's really sort of double and a very convincing round for the defense.
And we keep going back and forth, don't we?
We do, we're balancing.
But Chiefs have made a little bit of...
Battery low, careful getting the control of batteries.
Batteries? Oh no, block it in! Right now!
So look, I say we go back and forth, but look, that round was the moment where finally one of the teams edge the head and it was chiefs back to back defences.
Oh, he's watching the, watching the stream.
Get in the chat.
He's stream sniping in Pro League.
Really?
Yeah, bro.
Well, I mean, it's a delay.
Are you sure about that?
Oh, yeah.
Because I've stream sniped.
Oh, so you know...
Like I said I've stream sniped the broadcast like opening up the Twitch stream right now and like talking to the chat
You're like, oh, they're like 5 minutes behind us.
Well, my best friend happens to be the observer of this game, so he will give me a stream without the delay. How about that?
I use my friendship contacts to get the clean feed.
That's true.
But do you feel like they're really your friend or are they just your friend because of you know the status
Those are the questions that will follow us through life is it a friend we said a person that wants something to be gained
You never know when I was in kindergarten
I had a friend I thought but it turns out that he was just interested in my
Gameboy called her Pokemon game. So he wanted to be become my friend to utilize my Gameboy
And then I realized the young boy is not every friend
He's a friend. I would have been a very valuable lesson to have already learned coming into the East Pole
It would have but then you get tempted by
Well temptation like people want to be your friend
You know, you know what that could be kind of cool because you graduate from school
drop out that's the one of two ways that I usually take you right? You're 18, you're not that many
IRL friends, you're gonna make online friends but we also know that in esports we call it friendship
rosters right when you just be friends with pro players you play ranked together they pick you
up for the team and you have a bit of a career because you just happen to be good buddies
but you don't want your career to become that either so being self-made accepting help and
assistance life is hard man especially in industry that is so tight-knitted as the esports world
Like I'm only working with you because you're my friend, you know, like you've got me this
dog.
There you go.
I was in the streets.
That's how it looks like, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
I was there like, you know, Parker broke up with me.
After years of working to the, me be standing by his side, you know, he became diabetic.
I bought him sugar cubes.
Like I was really there for him.
He said, you know, Nick, no more, and then you came and said, you know, Nick,
you want someone to work with I could I could go down to your level and raise
you up to mine and therefore we can work together for APL now we're here all
year later it's moments like this that make me appreciate our friendship is if
I didn't have this friendship that I wouldn't have these beautiful
philosophical insights from you and to be honest that's the only reason why
we are friends it's all right full philosophical insights and also I needed
a co-cast that would balance out how late I am by always being early and yeah, pretty good.
That might actually be the most like ying and yang element that we have.
You are chronically late and I am chronically early.
We are absolutely always exactly on time because of that.
But also I make you eat like you forget to eat food and then I'll be like dude, let's
have you breakfast today and then you're like breakfast?
That's been taking care of me.
Like ours is gonna not gonna eat breakfast any of the days at the Eastmore's World Club because the very hotel breakfast would end at a time where
We have like very late start times because it's like a late tournament coming to our usual schedule
So so I'm gonna sleep till 11 maybe right or 10 a.m. Well breakfast ended
So I was gonna grab a late lunch at the venue
We're like no there's a cast a cute cafe down down the street
Let's go have some some bit with Jan and we went there almost every single day and got like one of the best omelettes
of my life in the streets of Paris with people walking by rushing to their job
always sitting there. I'm so hungry right now I would kill for it. I'm so hungry as well that
omelet was so tasty. Oh man do you want to fly to Paris and have that omelet with me?
I'll be there in an hour and a half. I'll see you in three days. I'll be there in three days.
Oh man, this picture is kind of cursed, who did try to harken him by the way like, it's
not easy when it's hard, we get this, it's not easy when it's hard, oh my god, was this
your outfit?
That was a great content shoot, by the way, I mean it wasn't my outfit, so this is
the first ever, no second ever content shoot I ever did, where I rocked up looking
one way and then I would be styled and dressed for the content shoot normally
you rock up and I you wear whatever you have on right no no all the jewelry the
shirt the pants even the shoes they were just even the beer that was a
sugar guy that the beer was a temporary stick on it was gone right after the
content piece and it kept the most after today yeah that would be a good
period of time and now it's all gone again. I like it, you're rocking the hat today actually
good for you, I like it. You could definitely... You're rocking the hat because I did not
honestly, I did not want to shower this morning, I'll be honest. I woke up after email, I
was like, I will sleep for as long as I can if it means cutting up the shower. Then
I looked in the camera and I was like, this ain't gonna go, I gotta put a hat on.
Normally you cannot wear a hat in these boots but you know, we're chill like that
over here because I'm good friends with the observers do series in the whole
production crew as well so they don't even mind it see they resist as a player
I got told off of wearing a hat once and then super wear a hat every single
playday after and I thought what is this we're back into the game panger and
if chiefs can lock in here then we might just have our first regulation
match of the day. Defensive side for Chiefs, they just found two in a row. And well, Jakenna
is continuing to run the Sentry, but he's actually traded out his impact grenades for a deployable
shield. So it won't be quite as devastating against that Monteer as before.
Also a bit of a shina that the scoreboard had to be reset because Jakenna is having
an absolute life performance right now in the double-digit territory. Usually,
Usually you can support the player on the shields, but right now he's getting a lot of kills.
This time the relay stuff of the action early, you can go down the entrance and maybe crawl away.
The grenade on the corner, you gotta keep rolling towards him, he's chasing him.
Like a heat-seeking missile.
Unlucky for him, he will not be revived.
Come on, Tio. Continue marching on forward though.
Machine, we're gonna try and enable an entry, but Proxy, who tries to exit break room, gets caught on his exit by the TCSG.
from Neptune
No chance for any os to try and redeem themselves as they look to try and take control
Of office and fountain, but relays has a really solid position here locked up with a crossfire from lunchbox
Boom
Doesn't find anything
I mean, automatically this single deployable shield
Might become a problem. There's one fraconate from arcanum and if you can get rid of it
Maybe they like you get a freebie into relays, but if not his crossfire is disgusting.
Very powerful, if Launchbox plays it right. Relays has to be careful not to over extend the Nade here.
We'll surely kill relays if the gun doesn't first great play there. That single Nade that you mentioned was necessary.
And in the end it manages to unhand that position from relays.
However, before lunchbox retreats, he manages to take one body with him, retaining the numbers for chiefs.
Gotta reload.
They all could go as side as downstairs, no verticality.
It feels like machine would have to drop down the hatch with argument to start right-ticking people with that Monty shield.
Use one of those famous trackers on one of the three player locations.
He's trying to make a rotate for the Monty to avoid dropping down the hatch.
But you cannot cover him planting from the turret.
There's too many angers to worry about so I'm not sure.
I guess there's been a bulge up the hatching valve to make the way proper for the team.
It's cooked. It's so cooked.
It's a little bit of a mess.
That's not happening and Neptune comes through the TCSG.
A couple of shots to the feet machine has gone.
Wettables helps out.
Chiefs, three rounds in the lead now and match point.
It could be the first team today to find a regulation win.
I never thought I would say that but you are correct and they're looking good in the server.
Again, small bits of problem solving, small bit of setups upstairs and beneath,
and just playing very smart and disciplined in the man advantages as they should.
Not giving away anything for free.
When they lost relays, instead of founcing behind the deployable shield,
they simply just dropped down the hatch.
They fell back towards the bombsite and said,
you know what, that was our crossfire, now that's gone,
we're not gonna overplay our hand.
Solus and Solid Snake both banned away as the final operators.
So it's all about information for this one.
And generally speaking I feel like the solar snake band is more valuable than the solace because you can always play a
Pole sort of out here and act goes to kind of substitute that operator
Where's a solid snake the ability to skip the droning in the action phase is you know not comparable
Yeah, they must confine one guy don't give you can call one person solar snake
He clears half the metal border with a single scan and he's got five of them
3 chances now for Chiefs and for Anios they're still looking for their first attack round.
Despite that Monty, haven't found a lot of success despite the solid snake, haven't found
a lot of success.
To be fair Anios spent so many of their bans on Azami Thorn's soul as she didn't
get rid of a lot of the basic power operators like that mirror so chiefs
have been able to hack that away every single round we've also seen the pulse
when to we've seen the century a hundred percent pick rate by the way really
that way is all it all chicken a yeah yeah every single round and two rounds
it was also played on an else's defense so that makes it the most played
operator in the game I believe it looked at face and wind we're into that
too. You can match him. Machine, HVHB, acronym, low on the finger, they can keep boosting people up
slowly but surely. Their need was happening. Punchbox in the office window, relays with
the impregnated downstairs on the jail wall. Loot drone on out as well. Thus,
then runs away. Oh! Bang! The only shot that close has, bites one.
Trade but not finished off. Box actually might be able to be
It's achievable here if you can't across the position in time
He's gonna go for it indeed. So lunchbox back up like the finger boosts here. It's gonna help out machine also
Wait, it's you never have. Yeah. He is. This is a crazy repel from chef. Yeah, I can't believe
That is unbelievable
I've never seen someone get a kill from that repel before unfortunately though for any us the victory is short-lived as machine
is immediately traded on back, the most shield.
This is quite the angle. I'm not sure exactly what angle he's looking for right now, but
here's a drop down stairs with a door sadly barricaded so no angle to be found. Well all
the manios are finding a clue here and there, it's going to be cheese running away from
this one, playing close to us to bomb site, but a double man retake on the main staircase.
They could be trapped down stairs, but they don't get blocked as he foresuccessful,
Now they can get back upstairs.
Ah, this is it for Chef, isn't it?
If this is your final match of your eSports career
in Rainbow Six, then you better give this one
before everything that you've got.
A minute to play.
All of his utility still in hand.
No nitro is available for cheeks,
but they do have info from Lunchbox.
Little bit of sound cover,
a little bit of a breach opening,
but a lot of damage now received by Chef.
And Wettemals goes for the swing.
He takes him down and that puts a close
on the game. The chiefs take
the full three points out of
their match today. The only
team to do so in OCE for the
playday with that they rock it
up. They cannot overtake EP,
but they sit squarely at the
top echelons of the standings
and set their sights on stage
finals at packs. Very exciting
and it seems like some things
will change and something will
always stay the same. Cheese
enterprise both fighting for
going to continue to represent O's in the international stage, but we'll have to see what happens at Pax.
This is just the group stage that have ended now, with this being the final playday.
Jimanias, I think a difficult map here to play a border up against Chiefs.
There's a lot of firepower up against them.
But then again, it is going to be the top thoughts of the region.
It is hard, probably, no matter what map you take them to.
Very much so.
Chiefs had a few rough moments on their attacking side.
Defense was where it was at though.
And of course the rest of the stage is just going to be stage finals for them.
It's all about BO3s. We've now seen them play boarder, add that to the map pool.
Chiefs had a lot of work to do. I think losing your coach and losing one of your
long-term players and instrumental elements of the squad is always going
to be hard, especially when that goes to your biggest competitor in EP,
pardon me. But of course we can get a little bit of insight with Jake from
the Chief's squad on how the game went. Look, mate, congratulations on your win and a great
stage as we say goodbye to the groups. Of course, PAX is coming on up. How do you feel
like the state of the team is at the moment now that you've played your seven group stage
beer once? I think that there's still work to be done. I'm feeling pretty confident
going into PAX, but yeah, we definitely have a lot to work on, especially with those
past two losses that we had. But yeah overall we're still confident.
Can I add another pleasure of casting much of the O's region for this stage but
when I did last time around in stage one you're often just in the shields playing
supportive roles not getting in the action. Today you're popping off during
the entry in the front lines hitting like double-digit kills you're ever on
the map. Is this just a border thing for you or is this today's matchup or has
Has this been a continuous thing throughout the entire tier of Stage 2 because you looked
like you were getting much crazier in the server than usual?
The positions I play on board are so much better to be honest.
And I had to make up for the past two stinkers that I had on the other two games so I had
to recover the KD a little bit to be honest.
Now you're looking good today man, I'd love to see that from you.
I appreciate it, thank you.
Yeah, great showing today.
I don't know if you followed many other games, but we had three eight sevens in a row
So listen as your first welcome. I hope they pay you guys overtime
We've wanted to make it nice and nice and quick for you, too
Appreciate it much love mate
Look thoughts going into packs a chance to play with the new five-man roster all in the same spot with wetables
And of course odor coaching what it'll be like
What will it be like for you?
Do you think and for the squad getting a chance to work with each other in person involved?
Well, now that we all have LAN experience, I think it'll be a whole lot better, like
I think we'll be a lot more switched on and like, in the flow state, like when we were
in Paris, I was not in flow state at all, I don't think my teammates were, other than
like, realize of course, because it has past experience, but I reckon we'll do a whole
lot better at LAN and to be honest, like LAN is just a bunch of fun, like I'm just
excited to go to the MS.
Yeah, and look the way that the stage has gone on anything is possible at land anything is possible
Absolutely, which means that the doors are open for a soccer. I'll leave you the mic if you want to say any goodbyes before we say see you next week
Max
Shout shout of course
number one fan
shout chiefs shout kinshi
um
I don't know I had no shout out today. No one gave me anything so I guess I just want to shout out Chris Lewis
I'm sorry I threw the class through games and you couldn't make land so I'm sad to CCS not be there
It's a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? What can we do?
And shout out to you too of course, thank you to the cast, long night
Thank you mate. Well, it's always more entertaining when we get to chat to you at the end of this great show today
And yeah, we'll speak to you in two weeks time with PAX. I'll see you then
Right, we... Someone fake the cast to use the power!
Oh man, great MVP from today as well, Sean having the time of his life subbing in for
Shikeademy.
Yes.
Ridiculous performance, mind you, this wasn't the case where the coach subsin is playing
in all the corner positions, playing Monty around.
This guy was in tree, he was in there, he was clutching 1v1s, playing perfect positioning,
good crossfires and being the clutchmaker.
13 kills to 6 deaths.
scours, basically unstoppable.
Yeah, very much so.
Insane performance from
Shaikademy today as well.
Was not on my bingo card for
tonight to see Shaikademy
Manila for seven CS and
arcade EP all go the
distance eight seven.
But I just love seeing Sean.
I mean, he's a player who's
been around for such a long
time, and he wasn't just
scared tail between his legs.
He wasn't hiding behind a
shield the entire round.
He was having huge plays.
He was going separate from
the rest of the team.
He was fragging out, he was dropping, backstabbing, he was doing it all and it's exactly what
Chikademy needed to almost take down Manilofo, almost prevent them from making it to Pax.
Of course, Circular Spheres were very close, but Manilofo did just the bare minimum that
they needed to and that does of course set the stage for stage finals.
Our top four teams heading through to Pax as we reflect upon the results for today.
Um, angry. It was this was a day of stage. It was a day of rain. This is when I woke up this morning. I looked at the schedule. I went, I won't be too bad.
Well, it would be a bit of a bit of a relaxing day for best of ones. We're gonna have two games going, you know, pre one sided. Oh boy, was I wrong?
And I always love to say this, right? You never know what's going to happen in the APL and you never ever know what's going to happen in those particular very much.
So let's have a look at our final standings
for the group stage of APL OCE.
We know our four teams, Enterprise stand at the very top
despite getting one loss and two overtime wins.
They do manage to just barely seek ahead of Chiefs
thanks to the round difference,
despite being on the same number of points.
Look down the standings, of course, seven just behind them
and then Manila foe behind that.
Only four points separating circular spheres
in fifth place from enterprise right at the top and a bit of a sad one I think for CS to
unfortunately not make it through the past. Oh for sure. Also what do you mean man? She's one
more games in EP but they're below them in standings. Well that's because of overtime my
friends okay over time versus regulation losses versus wins it's a tricky thing you know. Two
overtime victories gives you four points whereas one more regulation victory gives you three
points. That is one point more. Yeah. Just to show you how tight the region is. Unexpectedly
so, I certainly didn't think that Osh would be the region that came down to the final
playday to determine which teams go through and which teams don't. Of course, we've had
a crazy day of APL. We've also had crazy times with EML, which is actually coming
back in about three hours and 59 minutes. We will be there casting it again. No,
We're taking the night off EML. I'll be back with Xenox actually tomorrow for APL. Again, I think I'm working with you on Friday.
Thank you, if that's not wrong.
Yes, let's say yes. APL is almost finished for the group stage. Of course, we have a couple of final players to go through.
I'll start in just four hours. I'll see you tomorrow night for more achill action, but until then of course
I
Oh
I
I
