You
Rocket League fans around the world, welcome to Europe for open number five.
On the road to Paris teams, earning their points, trying to play in the big game, folks.
Everything on the road to the world championship as well, but that's just a glimmer on the horizon.
We got a lot of Rocket League to play through today.
It's Friday.
We've got 16 teams.
We're gonna narrow down to eight before the end of our broadcast six rounds of competition the greatest e-sport known to man
I'm way funk. We've got a lemon key. We've got CJ folks. It's gonna be a great day CJ
I mean, but Europe always keeps the action packed for us here. I'm excited for it
I mean complete another chaos as well from open for it's great to be back first event for myself this split and as I said open
For was chaotic we had gentlemen's not even making the top eight
We've got GK not making the top eight lemon
I think there's going to be some eyeballs on those top teams that are underperforming.
Yeah, and we had like a record amount of Game 5s when it came to that other Friday for Europe,
so it was chaotic, it was a marathon, and we had some big upsets, as you said, CJ,
which is going to affect how people are getting to Paris and Worlds.
CJ, I think we were talking to our statisticians about the Game 5 situation.
I think Open Number 4 for Europe was actually a record-breaking.
the season, it's felt like we've been getting to more champions field than ever before.
This is as the competition is heating up and folks at home. If you're watching and this is your
first time here in our voice, watch the twitch.tv slash rocket league. You picked a great time
to be a fan of rocket league. Open number five here in the back half of the season. We're ramping
up the action there as we just have banger after banger to close out the season. All of this on the
road to the Paris right now, folks, May 20th through 24th in Paris will be our next in-person
event. The teams are trying to qualify to get there. You don't have to qualify. You just have to buy a ticket folks
scan the QR code on your screen. You can be in the building. This history is made. It's an incredible, incredible event.
They're so excited. I've never been to Paris 11. Have you been to Paris? No, but I kind of hope to go and there's
tickets left. So that's great. And what it's a huge venue, right? And the French fans, I think are going to break the
roof off the ceiling. I don't know how this is going to go. I really hope that we get to be. I'm excited to see
What teams will be playing in that building their CJ so much on the line here still as we're building these points
We've only had that one online qualifier so far so point values looking a little low here because we've only had one event
But vitality sitting nice and cleanly up on top. Yeah, we do have five spots for Europe
Which certainly helps thanks to that Copenhagen land a qualifier spot earned by KC
But after that open four after the first event of the split
I'm not too sure if some of these top teams are going to be there namely GK
look at that two points after the first event dropping out didn't want a single game on Friday last time and he got
Gentleman's major champs one of the last time lemon the major champs can go win and then I might top eight in their own region
afterwards
Yeah, the the road to Paris is gonna be a bumpy one especially for GK
You know gentlemen's being in the same boat, but you know being Boston majors helps them for worlds
But GK I think at the very least need a top four here to just make the ride a bit
It's smoother and ideally win the whole thing.
I know the players are just like,
we only care about winning,
but yeah, GK missing out on playoffs made a huge dent.
I mean, just for their points,
they need to get me a top four here.
I feel like just for their mental,
they need a top four.
Like you can't go out like that last event.
You can't have a bad event like that,
two events in a row.
Yeah, you've got to know that you've still got it.
I think how many of the Paris you want to be warmed up,
ready to go, but I think just worldwide,
we've seen some absolute chaos.
is in a global pre-show, but look what's happening in Mida with Falcons looking like they might not
be able to make Paris. So I think the question is, you know, globally is the competition stepping up
or are the top teams losing their aura? If you would, are they regressing a little bit back to the
Mida? It's a little bit of whichever one you know. It's just right up however you like, folks. The
Paris Major has all spots still open for grabs here. And you can see these, like if we were to
seven teams right now. These are the teams that would play in Paris, but again, all of these spots
still up for grabs. So we'll see which teams are able to snipe those spots here a little bit later
on on the road to the world championship show. Things are nice and close as well. Again, you're
up getting five spots here lemon. It's really interesting. There's a one spot gap there between
man city and GK right now for that fifth spot. Yeah. And despite gentlemates not making playoffs
at the last regional because, like I said,
they're the Boston major champs.
They're sitting pretty.
So this Paris appearance is so important for GK
and the races on between them and Manchester City,
as you said, one point differentiates them.
So that's why GK needing a strong regional here matters
because if they don't make Paris,
their chances for worlds are looking cooked,
especially if Manchester City
keep up what they've been doing.
Well, I wanna also keep an eye on that team in seventh.
They're gritty goose as we talk about group A.
So we're to have two different groups of action here again.
16 teams were to narrow down to eight by knocking four teams out of each group here in group A.
GK Esports is going to have to start their journey against the team that is right behind them in the world.
Stamings here with Gritty Goose.
Can the Gritty Goose continue their story on as well?
We're all thinking about this from GK's perspective, but there is always, especially on Friday, CJ,
so many teams that this is one of the best opportunities they've had to submit their story to begin their story here in RLCS.
And that made a little bit of a
main change, gritty goose. That
was TRB from the previous event,
Tox, Riziz, Bibaba. They had a pretty
decent showing. They beat Novo and
then lost to Man City to make it
into that top eight. So they got
pretty close. It's going to be an
interesting test for GK because it's
a match they should be winning, but
I mean, the other first matches are
crazy as well. You've got Synergy
Hubek KC last time. They get a crack
of generalmates who didn't even
went to round five in the Swiss there losing a Magnifico and the Ninjas in
pajamas, but they've earned themselves an opportunity there against the
reigning regional arranging major champs and gentlemates. We'll see whose story
starts off well here today and just a little bit. Group B, though, lots of
action. There are four spots for our four favorite teams here. Lemon Ninjas,
pajamas, Vitality, Carmen, Core Manchester City all expected to emerge from
the groups, but we play Fridays for a reason. Upsets are on the table. And
There's a lot of new teams being featured in both groups.
PCS Stride, Aira, Magnifico, and GHT.
And Gritty Groups, not new.
They're formerly known as TRB.
Toten, the whole, is Inner Circle,
which also had a really incredible run.
And it's finally a good time to be a Vitality fan, man.
They had such a strong regional four
beating down everybody in their path,
although they somehow dodged K-Corp for the longest time.
So we still kind of want to see that match up.
We'll see how things go, folks.
We're going to be playing through both these groups.
Every game on the screen across groups A and B will be played
as we're on the road to the top spot championship Sunday
at the end of this weekend.
We will be crowned a new European regional champ.
And that regional champ is going to take home $21,000
as well as 18 season points.
We've been talking about the points a lot,
18 on the line for the team that takes home
that top spot this weekend.
How's things going to go today?
Two groups.
We're going to have group A and group B.
If you've watched the broadcast previously,
maybe you've watched us kind of alternate back and forth.
This weekend, we are going to be sticking with this new way
of doing it where we play through all of group A
and then all of group B,
which personally I find really enjoyable.
We get to like follow one team story follower,
follow one group stories and then kind of re-rack,
we'll reload, go for round two,
do a second round of stories there
and get you guys set up for playoff Saturday.
So group A and B, lots of action, lots of stories.
I mean, CJ, as we look through the teams here,
look through the competitors who are going to be playing
there's the obvious stories of team vitality up on top right now coming in as regional champs first win for them in a
Long time trying to build on that set on that saga. I mean, we can talk about karmic or who do you want to talk about?
What story is the most interesting today?
It's GK and it's probably fitting that they are going to be the first match up here in a group
Hey, because the fact that these guys didn't win a single match in the group stage in the first event
It's just super surprising this that it felt like this roster is early after remember they picked up tempo
So they got rid of Seiko after the Boston Major, which it kind of felt like that move was already done before the major happened because I thought Seiko actually kind of played pretty well in Boston.
And then all of a sudden he was kicked probably two days after the event.
So the pressure is on them because they've made an upgrade and currently they're not in the running for a major spot.
So I'm looking at them.
Obviously, Gentlemates lemon, the fact that they won the major and then didn't make the top eight is a little questionable.
But I think we can give them a little bit of leeway.
way. Maybe, you know, that little, little holiday period, they were feeling
themselves. They won the major. They were celebrating. Maybe Archie, who's not
playing the game, was motivated to play the game. Maybe he was playing too much
rocket league is the question. So I think we'll cut them a little bit of
slack. I think they'll be okay here. And slack on their schedule too, because
they missed playoffs because they lost to Man City and K Corp, which feels
pretty understandable to me. Um, but kind of my eyes in this bracket wave, I'm
looking at KDOP Corp. They have Alpha, Midsur, and Redosin, which by the way, just thrown
it out there, they have a better seed than Karmin Corp. So better KCorp, I don't know
what it is. You guys can argue in the chat about it. But Alpha had an incredible offensive
run on that regional. Redosin was making these goal lines saves. KDOP Corp is like my dark
course, if you will, but they have a really good seed. So I don't know if they qualify,
but that's a good team.
And it's it's it's running the retirement team with a with a world world champion players Radisson and alpha and
Matzahir as a dark horse team, but like that is just
I mean they feel like the people's team as well everyone loves
Story with him bouncing up and down on laying on his chair and then alpha 54 coming back out of nowhere
And then just clipping on the big boys in the first event looking like he's finally found a directional air roll as well
He's looking mechanical in the air. I mean, he's always been a mechanical. So can they do it again? We'll be the question here in open thought
Absolutely. Yeah, lots lots of stories today folks. Don't forget to keep an eye on all the different streams
There'll be lots of team teams happening. We're gonna keep you updated on all the games that are happening simultaneously
We'll be hopping around watch once one game and then as that game progresses if it starts to be a little bit clear
What's going on? We'll hop over to another game and keep you guys updated on all the scores
Here's where you can catch the majority of streams, lots of view parties happening as
well. A lot of people who will be kind of doing the red zone style coverage that we're
doing here. So don't have to keep locked these channels, but these are the official broadcasts
there. If you want to check out any one of these teams and follow that one team story,
if you're really a big on GK, make sure you go check out GK Esports broadcast there. You
can follow along with their story exactly the whole time through. It's going to be a
great day of Rockley. I love that Fridays are back folks and we're going to have a wonderful
playoff Saturday tomorrow, but today, the chaos, the action, teams, stories, beginning
stories, ending lots of stuff going to happen here as we get into today's broadcast. I'm
really excited about I am disappointed lemon that KDOT Corp and carming core are in separate
groups here. We're still waiting on the KC battle, like which ones to rule them all,
which one gets to be the ultimate KC. Have a guy to see it just yet.
I know we were like joking around the last regional that, you know, the better team gets
the team. I think that's the
team. I think that's the key
there. The K Corp name, but I
just love that you know the
KDOP Corp and then we have the
gentle bench at one point, but
also eyes on a team like KLG,
who we kept talking about GK.
Well, that was the team that
upset GK and there's been a lot
of these underdogs. I think
rising to the occasion on
Friday and depending on which
is the group of death, we could
all argue about that. But KLG,
even teams like Inner Circle, AKA,
or now called Podin the whole,
for a reason.
It's hard to contract, though,
because they've all decided to change
their team name in between events.
So, yeah.
I'm interested in what,
I keep it on with eSports as well.
There's Toxic Compact and Day Shift.
Not today's name, we talk about too much here,
but they did come out of the groupie,
Swiss 3-0 with a five game win over Ninjas in pajamas.
So not an inconsequential victory there.
They're gonna start their day off
against PCS try to match that I would say their favorites to win. We'll see how
they do lots of stories here. We're going to start off with group A, I believe. So
this is the group B action. We will see a little bit later on Manchester.
So they're going to be taking on ERA Esports. But let's talk about group A. Okay,
that GK versus Grity Goose. We've talked about how important that matches. I was
just talking about whip versus PCS. Magnificent versus K.Corp here, Lemon.
How important is it to start the day off high?
It's super important. And there's that lower bracket for a reason. Kind of
of a lot of tough matches,
but this is where maybe a lot of the top teams
are looking way more down the barrel
and down the lineup, maybe tougher opponents.
This is where kind of these underdogs
can strike you when you least expect it.
And that's why we had so many game fives
in that last EU regional on Friday,
is that I feel like there was a lot of underestimation
of the competition and it's all on how you perform on the day.
And I don't even think that teams like GK did bad.
It was just that a lot of the underdogs
is gross the occasion. And
when you have less expectations
on yourself to to perform into
be number one, then I feel like
you can play looser more
chaotic and in a style that
top teams don't really expect.
So, uh, I think everyone has
really has to lock in after
that wake up call those last
regional. Yeah, I think ways
like the best of fives are
definitely a big factor here.
And I think with a format double
alien looks friendly, it's only
friendly for the top seeds.
If you win that first match,
what we saw last event.
Journal mates lost that first
series, which means they're playing a KC in that lower bracket semi final to make it to the top eight. So these top
stage you're looking at, you know, general mates, well, not GK in this instance, but, you know, with KDOPC, they need to win
that first match because it should give them an easier matchup in the lower bracket if they do drop down. But you don't
want to lose early or you might be in trouble.
Am I am I stupid? I'm trying to think like, is this is this technically almost like a Swiss sports like you have to win
to either way, right? You have to win two before you lose two. That's weird because of where
we stopped this bracket. That's how this works out.
Yeah, that's qualified. Yeah. If you lose the first one, you still have to win two. So
you have to drop into the lower two and win or you can win the first one, win the second
one, win. Yeah. Funny how that works out. The gameplay is on the table folks. The teams
are into the servers. We should be starting here momentarily and be covering again. All
four of those first matches there you saw on the left side of your screen and be going
simultaneously so we'll hop around we'll see which teams are doing the best which
stories are the most interesting as we kick off Friday here for Europe we've
got lots of fun action in store for us I'm excited for the games to begin I
just want to watch the rocket league so let's get into the teams as soon as
they're ready to go here and one other team I want to highlight as we take a
look at everything going on is synergy we were really hyped about them because
they upset K-Corping were the ones that knocked them into lowers.
But this is, yeah, and because Gentlemates didn't make playoffs,
this is the type of team that could really upset them.
But Gentlemates upset they didn't get that double tap just now.
Yeah, I mean, it's, this is a game where we're seeing if
Gentlemates really just have that first event warm up.
And as we said, we've got to cut up some slack.
If you're with the major, well, you're making worlds,
but you still need to qualify for Paris.
These guys, especially being a French or being the Gentlemates,
They want to go back to back as well, so we'll see how they go.
You see, as we saw with you last time, taking down KC,
they're not to be missed within a best of five, so this will be interesting.
Yeah, and AGG had such an incredible regional,
and I think the Sam community was super stoked to see him back in top form.
And, yeah, to be able to shake things up against gentlemates,
such a really highly respected team would be huge for them and this is I feel
like generally though I've been on offense like this whole time so far
finally it boils over. Yeah they're looking like they're ready to go I mean
this is just in one minute of straight off answering general mates also you just
fleeced off the backboard and Archie. The man that I questioned in the pre-show
whether he was playing too much Rocker League for so long we've memed about
Archie's hours whether he even touches the game outside of tournaments well
maybe he just got a little bit excited after winning that and winning the major
You can practice too much they got to find that right balance. I do know lemon as well with gentle mates coming into the major
They're all about quality over quantity with their screams. They didn't want to overdo it
They want to keep the appetite to play together. So maybe losing could get them motivated to it's a lucky
Yeah, they had such a time schedule last regional that I I think more of the conversation was about GK
I'm making playoffs gentlemen's losing the man city in cake or if you're like, yeah, that's just unlucky
I don't think they need luck, but the same form that they brought last time, and this
is a team that's been together since Ola Regional 2, just adding Rixie there in that Regional
2, the rest of that core being together since Regional 1, so good amount of time together.
You know, Synergy, the name is there.
Yeah, they looked pretty obviously the huge upsets in the group stage.
The best of sevens where they did struggle a little bit though, and it just felt like
there was a little bit of a gap and I do believe that the act as well
generally makes it looking pretty good early on. I know GK have just started as
well so I'm pretty wave punk. How are we looking at it? Have you had any goals around the grounds as well? Just quietly.
Magnificent go-kid off-corpor one-to-one with three minutes left to go.
That was the only goal I believe right now.
Guys, we're doing this Red Zone style so we'll be hopping around as soon as the action dies down
or kind of hypes up between different matches, look, we're, we're, we're going to cross side
and we have a wave pump kind of helping us out as our human TV remote. It's just kind of click
through the different stuff. Yeah, GK looking to get underway, but general mates, I think we're
right now, we're just getting a little vibe check on general mates just to see how they are stepping
up in this second event of the split so far. Looking pretty good business as usual. That's
It's a PCS stride versus WIP.
I said WIP coming off of that hot win over Ninjas of pajamas.
Toko out of their group 3-0.
They are trailing 2-0 now, with half the game left
to play here.
PSS stride getting a good solid start here against WIP.
I need Synergy to come together this far.
And this could be the run.
And Nasky has to put up some defense.
And it looks like gentlemines have been double commit there.
Is it going to be good?
And Synergy, though, are knocking out the door of that equalizer.
They're taking their time, but they ain't got a lot of moves to do it.
So it's still feeling like a close game to me.
Classic 1-0 start here for the gentleman.
He's just trying to lock it in.
90 seconds left.
That's been a bit more offensive.
That's a last little pressure.
Oh, wait, hang on a minute.
Had to make the save there.
AJG underneath.
She better keep the pressure on for Synergy off the roof as well.
Oh, stop it with the face.
The pressure built in, gentlemen.
It's like they're pretty happy with the 1-0.
But they don't want it at all, Synergy.
By the equalizer, a lot of pressure.
Dorado one one.
Yeah, what a final touch there at the end to bring it out to the teammates.
So tied one one and didn't feel like synergy were really
antsy or not composed.
It felt like they were just building up towards this very patiently.
And like I said, they've been together for quite a few months
compared to other teams and they're starting to ramp up the speed of it
in this last minute.
Yeah, it's ready to see.
Gentlemates really get pressured online like this.
There's another beautiful pass with the shot.
It was just not on there from Rex.
He is all of a sudden after that first minute
where it was all gentlemates, they got their first goal.
They've really just been stuck in there.
And I love this from AJG, just hitting the ball around,
flicking it across the reach, so you can come off the roof
and just keep that pressure on.
Gentlemates, been a little bit rattled here.
Perhaps not as warmed up as we thought.
However, they do get such a chance on there.
Yeah, that's over the top. Easy as you'll like.
like, just not quite able to make the save there, Synergy.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
In 39 seconds, it could be a response,
although it did take Synergy several minutes
to kind of get the ball rolling
physically and metaphorically and whatnot,
but Synergy also ended top six, not last regional,
because they got to start on the upper side
with great success, qualifying after the BK Corms.
So Synergy will see if, was that just a flu?
same thing with gentlemen, can they just have clean wins all around, especially in that first match?
I want to be wise from around the league here, Magneto, with six seconds left,
takes against the goal ahead. Gold against KDOT Corp, so we'll see how the kickoff goes,
but they're looking like they're going to win game number one. GK did get a nice
goal against Gritty Goose to lead 1-0 right now in game number one. They also did some pretty
strong defensive stops there, so it's been GK on top right now. KDOT Corp with the time going to
We'll see here and you can actually see the results happening and there it goes with the ground games and in very all the same time
They'll start around the same time to help over here and check out GK versus pretty goose see how
GG handles into this game. I'm looking at looking at tempo for this event
There's a lot of pressure on the guy when you pick him up when you make the huge move off the
Seiko did look pretty good in their man city with Seiko outperform you in that first event a lot of pressure on this team
I'm sure a little bit of money as well as it changed hands with the buyouts and contracts and all sorts of things
So after just one event making a move so we'll see if he can step up and yeah
Definitely look like Joey and Jack just a little bit flat in that first event. This is a good start here 1-0
Yeah, and tempo with sacred just such different players
And all I got this level just looked through all the defenses and still trying to clean this up
It's pretty goose but and he ever play fantasy football and you make a train everyone's wondering
Okay, who won the trade, who got the better end of the deal?
So that's been the big conversation.
And so much pressure on someone like Tefo, like you said,
to make up for it.
At least you feel like the trade is to blame
when it really is in.
It's just the time to kind of come together as three.
That's gonna be in question
when you make a big trade like that, as you said.
Yeah, and they look decent.
So when you do make that move as well,
it's like we need more.
You know, we're looking at win majors.
So we'll see if they can, well, after form,
I'll have to fly a large margin,
what they did in that open form so far.
Looks like they can find the ground or hang on a minute.
No, not like that.
He's sort of safe.
I thought they were going to give up the zero second goal,
but they did get the first game.
We can check out the rest of the games.
Just getting underway, beautifully in sync.
And it was a PCS try that took that game one versus Wip.
So Magnifico, PCS tried, and General Maid's
going to be leading in their series across the other three
series and jump back over.
General, may see how Synergy respond here
after that game point loss.
And AJG and Dorita have been together for so long.
And especially as someone having AJG on your team
who's competing in so many different regions,
it must be nice to collect all these play styles.
You'd like to collect some goals too,
but they're on defense right now.
But they kind of learned so much from the different regions.
And now to come to Europe, one of the most stacked regions
and the try to be amongst the best, that's quite a few.
Yeah, it's an interesting team that they put together,
but clearly it's worked so far.
They just need to put it together in the best of sevens.
But at this stage of the tournament,
this is what they love, upset's best of fives.
So we saw all of the game fives in open four,
certainly suited a team like Synergy,
clutching up on the champion.
I'm gonna say as well, wait, when we did have that four box,
my goodness, this is a good looking map,
isn't it, a bit of temple.
They've got four games of ones going on, beautiful.
of the Sunset, perpetual Sunset.
I love it.
Absolutely love it.
Minute 30 though, this gentleman is,
it's not as smooth sailing as I'd like to see
from the major champs, and I know where,
we're kind of cutting them a little bit of slack limit
in the previous event,
because they did have to go up against Man City
and they see, but they should be beating those teams,
or they definitely should be beating Man City.
Tasey's obviously in top match,
so do get the first goal on the board.
Just the bomb plays coming through,
aren't you sweet sort of net?
Easy as you like.
and a tough miss there from Rick C.
Cause you know that led to that goal
and this guy is a grinder.
He's played in just like every community creator tournament
and super talented, talented as held his own
in French and Mina to his lobbies.
So can look impressive individually except in that moment.
So we're still waiting for that breakout from Rick C.
But AJG and Dorito saw that potential and brought him in
and the way to see this team really come together
because they're closer to each other, it's in that game one, they found the equaliser, it's just couldn't beat it back.
Yeah, and that kind of poor Swiss result that they do have to face the major champs in the first match here, so a little bit of a tough start for them, but you can only play the team in front of you, hang on a second.
AJG, as you were talking about it, it looks like he's fitting in quite nice, quite nice indeed, off the ceiling, Ovarowski, Archie dunked into his own net, 1-1.
I'm locking the look of these guys.
I'm puffing at Zero.
Synergy's staying in their shadow, it seems, at all times.
Like, Gentlemates aren't really winning by a lot.
I mean, that game one was 2-1, but if they keep forcing
these mistakes out of Synergy, they should still
be going at Gentlemates away.
And look at that, B-Rick's stuck in the net,
and now Earth, he's beating them down,
but now there's a breakout.
Across other matches, only one goal
as they scored with eSports up 1-0 versus PCS.
They did drop that first game, so this is a good look for them.
But generally, a pretty quiet series here.
Yeah.
And that versus grid of uses to play at the moment,
as well as they have been starting to.
A lot of defense.
Perhaps the chaos, the chaotic results from open fire.
We're playing a little bit safer in open fire,
just trying to make sure that you get through this Friday,
which previously, Lemon was, I don't want to say walking
in the park, but we rarely saw teams, you know, getting eliminated outside the top
eight, especially like you saw your top five teams, your teams competing for the
major bit. Maybe after that result in open four, it's just got a few different
teams on edge. We're seeing some more defensive Rocket League.
Yeah, and a lot of underdogs were just started to peak that day. I don't know
what was in the water on Friday or if it's maybe just a slower start out of
our top dogs. But you kind of also have to set yourself up for a marathon, not
just the sprint and gentlemen,
some of the lead was just within sight and not receive.
But in fact, Rai, I forget that, you know, with gamer names,
the X always stands for something except what it actually is.
So Mr. Rai over here,
I think he's definitely cleaning up his play and synergy.
You need a well rounded performance to try and kick
gentlemen to the dirt if they can.
Oh, that I need to win this game as well.
Why best of five and stuff.
Quick update there game 2, pretty magnificent, K-DOP Core remember, magnificent, 1 game 1, 36 seconds left
They have the lead 1-0 in game 2 as well, and here's a break away goal
Fairly gets deflected, so still does a 1-0 game, but 25 seconds left K-DOP Core on the brink of being on match point
Bottom left, bottom right corner there
Down the ropes, wow, maybe a little bit, obviously didn't make it through out of the swiss coming off the out in around 5
Yeah, that's gonna be two-oh-down.
That team that like on paper is what he looked at.
I mean, you're looking at Eugene.
I mean, he was the prodigy coming in the last season,
just couldn't quite find his way into a top team.
So they have the potential to even make a top eight,
even though they didn't make this stage last event.
Yeah, there's a lot of excitement behind Eugene,
who I think just needed that roster change
after the results started to fall off a little bit.
What was that, a gentle bench or whatever.
So I still think there's a lot of hype that's to serve.
And now if he doesn't deliver on this team,
I'm worried about another roster shakeup.
So we need Magnifico to lock it.
So it's like we will get another round this time
on this side of things.
Is this the only clutch match, wife?
No, we got two overtime's happening with these sports
versus ECS, also going to overtime right now.
GKE Sports run away with game two.
Kriti Goose, the only team yet to score here in group A.
But with these sports, trying to find that win back here
in game number two as well in overtime.
That's an important start there for GK, just to get a little shout out if they can.
Even a perfect sweep, level would be huge for GK's confidence against Gritty Goose there,
just to kick off their run after a disappointing start.
Hang on a second, a little dunk from Rixie, that's one game two.
My god, it went from a mid-touch resulting in a goal against them to just a little kiss,
a little fade away and synergy, steal away, game two and tie the series against Gentleman.
Already that going to overtime we're in for a tree year on Friday
Wow, wow wow wow and then we get another T color to tide series for whip
PCS whip would be the favorite you think coming in with a day shifting and talk see who's
Little hyperanim compact getting the assist there one one
We're getting some close games apart from GK who are just absolutely thriving right now
Leave another shot and make it a third goal. Never mind Joe come shoot apparently
It happens.
They shot well enough to at least get two.
But Gritty Doos being behind, it was years in talks
that tried to move on to a bigger, better team
after trying to build up some previous chemistry
and really wanting to shoot up the results
and try to get to the top three.
And right now, we're having a slow start.
It's a poor Joi Ligard camera curse, too.
They were their first goal of the day,
like top-ins, great placement.
We cut over their stream the first time we watched as him
hit the crossbar.
I'm like, ah, you can't shoot today.
It's just the moment we chose to watch, poor guy.
Yeah, we just cherry picked a little bit of a blunder there,
but overall, GK looking good, looking pretty good.
I mean, yeah, it wasn't an anomaly.
The fact that they didn't win a single series this stage
I opened four, so the fact that it was not over yet,
but looking like they will be two off and on the verge
of a sweep, it's nice to see.
And GK are so used to winning that I'm sure
It was absolutely devastating for them to have such a disappointing end.
And especially when the team wasn't necessarily broken,
then they made the roster change and now you're just feeding more into the conversation.
So I think GK, but they have the type of players that are mature enough to, you know,
sulk for one day and then just hit even harder the next day.
But they just got to hit it towards the net also.
And right now, the greedy goose, I'm just thinking of TRB from last time, another name change.
The name change is just keep on, I don't know why they keep doing this, but honestly it's not about logo.
I'm sure it's unsigned, but the Phoenix looking pretty good on the logo over there.
40 seconds left, still hasn't scored a goal too to do it before GK's.
We can see the graphics on-screen their way. That's beautiful, giving us access to all the other matches going on at once.
Now for sure you can see all of them there and I will say Magnifico versus K.Corp
They are flying in their series 3 minutes and 30 left to go in game number 3 Magnifico already up 1-0
Looking to sweep K.Corp
Yeah, this is
Honestly, we can probably go watch that game given that this game 3-0 30 seconds left
I'll let you guys know if pretty good somehow claws back in this one
But I think this one's pretty cleanly gonna be a GK win check out Magnifico versus KDC
I know it makes you want to say KC, huh?
I guess that's the intention behind the chaos, but...
The dark is important. We got to make sure we insist on the dark.
It's such a great team name. I absolutely love it.
But I'm not loving how they're playing at the moment.
If you are a K.Doc fan, if you're a fan of Alpha 54, the world champs are at those.
And he's not bouncing around right now.
He's just a magnificent...
Oh, looking fantastic.
They're questioning women. How did these guys not make the top 16 last time? What were they doing?
Well, an atomic was public about it. He was devastated. He was crying
He said he's never not made a main event in more than five years
So just the competition is caught up
You just never know what's gonna happen when you're doing all these matches in one day
And that determines whether you move on to the next day
So there is no kind of 24-hour sleep mental reset. It's what they do or die
Nearly a third goal coming through
54 does make a save it perhaps
There was a little bit of a peak first event. I don't want to write K. I'll call off yet
It's also the first series better. This has been pretty dominant from the update late post week
You know, so I think watch one minute of actual gameplay here on the official broadcast
But this is this is looking like wraps unless they can score two goals in two minutes
The offense isn't quite there a little bit of pressure now
Tretotian is looking for bumps and misses completely miss that I think after if I was gonna get them on target
And yeah, this is this is looking like a little bit of a different K. I'll call to what we saw in open form
This is a different magnitude that you're used to as we didn't even say
This was the team that was ears and talks were on and then they moved on to try and find bigger and better things
so Atomic has to rebuild with the Niko and Yuji and I still think these are amazing players to have a go at
Yeah, it's uh, I mean I mentioned in the name chance
I've gone from Magnifico to TRB to the Gritty Goose these guys are
Absolutely all over the place talks for his ears and they've found the buffer as well
There is a goal out for 54 well
He was scoring for fun and open for sorts good to see that he is how to get the job done here
slow drop down posies actually can play the style in that goal as well.
Elfman said which is what I'd absolutely do as well.
Anything for the scoreboard points.
Can you remind me that I didn't steal time on the clock?
I didn't need to get going though.
I love washing K-Doc court, especially after the last regional
because it's Alpha and Redosin post-vitality with Zen.
Where it was like they were such enablers and such a good team,
but needing finally to have that roster change.
And Redosin has really stepped up defensively.
I hope I got cursing him and alpha was the offensive spear for this team
They had such a good regional previously, but there's been a question of consistency and I think they have to prove at this regional
Yeah, okay. I mean that's I feel like I say that a lot as well. It's just do it again
Which is kind of funny to say but I do really want to see them do it again
I think there's a lot of love for this K-Doll court team that 35 seconds left
They need to get going on a right now at seven right ends
We found their first goal, at least one back.
Maybe a drop down past Redosis, just not quite there after 54.
Coming in, keeping pressure on.
Magnifico with love of sweep as well.
And I'll put them right in the hunt to make it through.
As Group A does look a little bit more competitive,
I'd say when you look at Group B,
it's kind of got the big power for over there.
Got Vitality, KC, and got Ninjas in pyjamas as well,
sitting over there, Man City as well.
They're kind of like the big four,
whereas over here, it's a little bit more up in the air,
particularly with lost event we saw in a circle in the locks and maybe a lost chance or
We'd be title club dropping down a lot more bracket. You bet you it will well wait
Let's take let's head over to gelmates versus synergy been a very competitive series as far as archie puts one in finally gelmates have been
Squandering opportunities in this game. They should have absolutely had the lead well before this would finally go
And they all should go up to these final 30 seconds
I think that was in the ring though.
I think that was in the ring though.
Ry is being tested over there.
They score off of them, or they get scored on because of him.
And they're trying to put up a wall.
You gotta get a big update here.
Gritty Goose is on the board.
304 left to go in game three.
They have scored. They will not get perfect swept.
It is 1-1 in that game versus GK.
We'll definitely catch the end of it after these games conclude here.
What is that?
One percent!
The worst defensive play I've ever seen from post-AJG, just backflip pops it into his own head.
Oh my god.
That's rough, buddy.
No, AJ.
Did we gas him up a little bit too much there, Lemon?
And then it was looking fantastic, and then I thought, oh, sorry about that.
We can change the channel wave.
Congratulations, little mates.
I just watched Atachi report AJG on his stream in-game for a match growing.
So old-sick.
A little disrespectful.
It's only game three as well, but I've got a front-off again.
Whip made pretty solid work.
They didn't catch Whip vs. PCS in game number three, but they didn't win that one 2-0,
and they'll be on match point as PCS won the game number four.
GriddyGames trying to make a match out of this one finally on the board.
Can they claw their way back in the series?
That's a big question coming back from an O2 spot and it's been a lot of the similar
score lines.
It's 1-1 until GK scored towards the last second and then Gritty Goose just don't have
time to figure it out so this has been a close series to spite out Mr. Scullin.
Yeah, this can get interesting as well in a best of five.
We mentioned that, you know, that being the reason why I've been in a lot of close matches
between teams that maybe have been on a little bit of a different skill level but even this
series right here. If Gritty Goose can win this game right here, game 3, then you think
wow, only one game away, then it's reverse lead territory. You know, it just kind of
plants the seed in the back of the mind of the winning team a little bit earlier. I'd
certainly felt it as a player. Maybe it was my mental weakness, but you know, you just
lose the game 3 after two very convincing opening games and you start thinking surely
not. Surely we just get one more, but that last game, Lemon, that's a tough one to win.
And it's just any mistake is just going to expose you if you're gritty juice.
Just need to get this goal going and there's a lot of excitement behind someone like Bababa.
She's already a funny name, speak of funny names.
That's definitely one and how he's able to combine and work around with Sears and Tox
who just moved on from another team.
So there's so much potential, but it's just the time together and your understanding and
fundamentals of threes that are going to matter here.
Now there's a demo in the net, so surely...
Surely not.
Oh, that's a lot.
That's a little bit spicy there, but Baba, the Hungarian as well,
we like seeing that, just some different flags as well,
when you're taking a look at the bracket,
at the standings, at the three teams on the team sheet.
So, pretty cool competition.
It is a truly global competition.
Ten seconds left, we'll get it over time.
and this is a massive game for GK.
I think they need to walk away with this for a sweep
or we could be looking at potentially a full game five action,
particularly that it could have been a perfect sweep.
They've dropped their first goal to Jack.
Here's the past last part from Tempo,
when we'll get overtime to game on.
And Tempo is, I mean, commands so much of that offense
and was a huge part of that on his previous team.
So he thought, well, just with way more firepower,
surely GK are going to come out of that trade, right?
But it's it's been a tumultuous big word there
Just go to overtime and close it out and I'm Jack would have reached there right there, but deflected
Yeah, this is
This is where we really see if this new team is to build that connection and whether the pressure is truly on
For all that could have been a goalie for his years
Stop pitching! Someone get back please!
All good, Toss is right there.
That happened so often, you nearly scored M1,
and you just send all the troops you over, commit.
Pretty good, so we happy that's not in the back of the row net.
Jorja has just found himself a little bit awkward.
Bounce off the roof.
Toss meets the 50.
Coming through with apparently Jack, and...
Well, both teams looking to not exactly send the house,
but it has been a little shaky on both ends.
Yeah, an abjack was gassing up tempo saying it was hands down one of the best talents
he's seen in the game.
So then I felt like that raised all the expectations.
If I'm tempo, I'm quiet down abjack.
I just want to do me, bro.
I like I don't want too much excitement around me.
I just want to be able to integrate, but now it's time to put up or again the road to
Paris is really going to matter and there always seems to be someone back for gritty
goose.
each other out when GK just threw a shot their way.
And there were rumors of that roster move after the Boston Major,
everyone obviously growled snowed in and what not, and what's funny
coming to chapter Jack, and I was just trying to prod him. He gives away nothing,
he's the ultimate professional, but I kind of said,
how are you guys going to pick up tempo? Oh, there's a nice barber, surely!
What a save from that through a good barber, getting back in time.
So you guys are going to pick up tempo, and he said, oh, you like tempo, do you?
Yeah, he's pretty good, isn't he? He is pretty good. Can't have a little
smirk on his face, and then I think about 12 hours later,
The 10th play was picked up on GK's.
It seemed like that was already
signed, sealed, delivered.
But yes, these two right here, Joyo Jack,
absolutely right here as one of,
probably the up-and-comer in EU,
but it's certainly been one of the best players
in the world, according to them.
So we'll see if he can deliver on that.
Well, not the promise that he's made,
but the expectations of his teammates.
I see you doing the investigations over there,
investigative.
He's got to be on that graph on ground reporter.
When you're stuck in a hotel after a major you're just going to find out what the juice is in the transfer window.
So, yeah, things were happening.
There was some things moving and shaking.
Oh, good job, girl.
Well, it's hard to keep secrets from you.
Pretty far into game number four, right?
Now, only one go to PCS Stride leading versus WIP trying to force game number five.
General Mesa's energy tied up at 0-0.
1-30 left to go in their game four.
Oh, okay, Tumpo's got it, but Gritty Gears have been playing so defensively.
At what point do you get kind of impatient and you start upping the risk if you're GK?
Because, you know, you're not getting paid hourly.
You've got to go grab lunch before your next match or whatnot, but Baba just tried to fake
it there and talks get shoved off, so GK are really threatening here, but it just takes
one to slip by.
One mistake to happen.
You mentioned the Gritty Goose defense. I mean, if this isn't just classic German rock, I don't know what it is.
They absolutely love just defensive gameplay. Don't commit too much.
Just try and play a bit of volleyball, bob it down the other end, and run back for resources, look for boost,
and really just not try and commit all three at once.
There's a nice catch, though, and they have found a little bit of pressure.
I feel like these games do tend to suit the likes of Gritty Goose, but overall, this overtime has been dominated by GK.
GK takes one mistake, which is the the nerve-racking thing for a new team like GK
So I found Jack that really it's I mean
I don't say it will because that'll be terrible for broadcast, but this October looks like it could go on forever
Beautiful crazy ever blessing for us, but oh
Pretty could seem to be able to just counterattack and not turtle up so the transitions are looking faster
It's got GK at the edge of their seat and I have to compare personalities
I mean GK look like a team that could really be composed and be able to play in overtime that last hour
Something needed to but oh
Donates it's a buzzer beater to clean out the series
Zero seconds. We're about to go over time Archie hits it in gentle mates 3-1 over synergy
With as well with the go ahead goal, which is huge 16 seconds left
They look like they might be out of fucking heat.
Three, one, it's Resip!
What is that Resip?
Little white dash ground pinch action.
Wampie won as well coming out against Joyo.
See, they don't think he got the Resip, but that is pinged off the underside of his top.
It's crazy it was in.
Hey, Grinigoose. Hey.
They're staying alive in this series. We'll go to game four.
Oh, hey, we're making numbers up over here.
Oh, this is some fantastic run.
Well, if I get to haste, let's see how the kickoff comes here.
Wow, I just think your whip should be on paper when you're looking at compact A-shift Toxic.
I know the Captain America character absolutely loves Toxic.
He's one of the best players in the world, just individually.
With McHenry, there's a beautiful shot, and there he is!
Just as the captain said, he's going to step up 3-2 and they do get the job done in 4.
Look at that. Oh my goodness. 81 kilometers an hour.
11. Bang.
You guys get to watch us for a second because none of the games are playing right now.
That was two buzzer beaters after a five minute overtime.
I mean, if the rest of the day is going to stay this hot, we're going to be here.
Hey, we're going to be here a long time, but B, we're going to watch some great rock.
I mean, whip coming in as the second seed was really impressive, but you kind of looked
that their schedule and the biggest surprise was that game
five win against NIP and the rest are against teams that
aren't even in groups anymore.
So kind of all eyes are on a whip to just see how they were
going to do because they also appeared at the last regional
and kind of did their best but nothing to write home about.
They were in the papers but hey they look exciting this
regional for sure.
Yeah.
The teams are getting into the rest of the lobbies here.
We'll hop over and say they are ready for game number four
GK versus Gritty.
It's going to keep the run going.
So this is getting interesting now.
As I said, it's just the best of five.
You're closer than you think.
You're about to get perfect.
Sweep out and scored until game three, Gritty Goose.
But just get that one game win on the board.
And when you're thinking we lose this, it's game five.
It kind of feels like when you see Niyotojo in a best of seven,
then you're thinking, OK, it's basically
feels like we're already a champ field.
One more win.
They could be right in the hearts of here we go.
They've watched an up first goal game four.
Kreeker's riches hammering this defense like nails.
It was about time.
And it's that beautiful 50 from Bababa to set that up.
And Razir said on his stream a while back
that him and Tawks were looking for a young player
with high potential, the quote, next send,
which I don't know how jokingly or how serious.
Oh no.
It off kickoff.
Oh.
And then Bababa, that quote, next send, that does it.
Well, wait, what did we say?
It can turn very quickly in a best of five in Rocket League.
and this is gonna be the big test for GK.
Getting that game three win is not that hard
when it comes to like not getting swept.
It's getting, it's getting,
when you're running reverse sweep,
it's the game four win that's hard.
If they can get this one through,
GK are definitely on the ropes
and this is not a good start for GK.
The overtime, the overtime limit is just, you know,
it just does things to your mind,
say it when you lose a five minute OT,
you could have closed it out,
you're thinking we should have just swept them right there.
We had chances, it didn't work.
I know you're potentially looking at a game five off the back of it.
The Jack might be able to get to it.
There should be the back in it.
Easy in the back of the net.
I didn't get one back.
A little bit of pressure off.
Yeah, when the time resets and you're not in overtime anymore,
it feels like now you've got the excitement,
the momentum from the overtime win.
You could just start throwing.
You could just start throwing all the chaos at GK.
We're probably flattening a bit.
And they're probably having to still switch
from that more risk-free, more defensive play style to now,
okay, that's a new game.
We got to go back to square one.
And for the first time,
it feels like this whole series, GK,
have to play on a deficit.
Yeah, you got to kind of roll the shoulders back
once the game starts again,
and not getting to that overtime mode,
but it does seem like it suits pretty good.
As you mentioned before,
the big kind of old school German or Oculee play style,
there's a beautiful pass to Jack Doublet.
Should we go tempo?
Just had to find the slot and does.
beautiful placement just from the set play the connection from the Englishman
one two three.
Shoyo is disgusting off the ceiling and I like that tempo with the confidence to
step up and finish off what his team has started because you have just that
chemistry already with Shoyo and Appjack two players who could really do it all
on a team set up score play defense and tempo has finally found a nice slot to
able to fit into. He's looking, well I don't want to curse him so I'll just say he's looking,
he's looking, he's looking okay, he's looking okay so far. Let's get space to look there though,
off the ceiling a little reset. They are finding the offense, it's just as that clock ticks down
they do need to find a goal ahead goal. They kind of feel like the pressure was off them once they
were two goals down then we did see that offense coming through. Just in this kind of situation
the scores level and it isn't over time. They do kind of tighten up a little bit.
This GK team, we do see them make a few more mistakes. It does suit
this Gritty Goose team, but they have found the two goals they needed and now they don't
need to panic. The time is on their side. And Gritty Goose are playing tight together too,
so any mistake can't really be exposed. They just bail each other out, but that does mean you have
less long options to pass to, but Gritty Goose don't care. They seem to be bringing the speed,
Like, Tox is challenging from across the field, he's the same.
It's a nice little play there defensively.
Tox is fading at four as he is.
There's a little double commit though.
Pretty used to getting a little bit antsy.
It's feel like GK is not controlled.
Back in this one, there's a big whiff, but Jack didn't read it, but...
I'm used to shooting through his ears when we've got to find that sidewall read.
Down bit, Barba.
The Prodigy.
There's Tox from his ears, we'll call it.
to get to work but this is this is really GK's game at the moment the
playstyle is looking fantastic and they're having pretty much all of the
boost control that they want as above finds the 50 but since those first two
goals from Gritty Goose in this game I haven't quite really found much of an
offense. At least GK were able to close the gap and definitely have a buffer in
in the series at Joyo's to step up.
He got bumps in the net too.
And Joyo's been the more flashy one.
Like he's going off the steering.
He's looking for passes,
but maybe got too greedy actually.
This just wasn't the play.
Joyo throws it off the backboard to third man
and Jack just says, you know what?
Let's do it.
Let's send the house.
But it just wasn't the right time.
It's two, two.
It's a team that's looking for the counter attack.
A team that loves being on defense.
And they hadn't committed all three members in that yet.
So that's just not the right play.
They're from GK, getting to ANSI,
going for too many passes
and now they're in a little bit of trouble.
This could be Gritty Goose putting the nail in the coffin
but Joyo looking him out.
And he's just flying away.
I like that you're trying to not let Joyo
just fly through for free.
And as they look at her score, there we go.
We get that equalizer.
Watch him recover there.
Talk me through this way.
off the wall. Look at that. What is that? How do you dismount the wall and hit him?
You're buying the wall like that. That's incredible. He's bumped the bubble into the
extra pop as well. I think the save might have come through, but Tampo getting to work
on ball finds the pop. Finds the pop. 3-3. This GK played better when they're losing.
That's a problem right now. Well, that's the last regional though.
All they did was lose, which is a bigger problem. They looked amazing.
Yeah, and someone like Razir's he has such a deep hunger to to prove himself after some trial spots allegedly didn't go his way and then he swapped teams kept it being with talks as his duo added the Baba so it's just he knows he has the talent to get to the top but you gotta beat the top teams to get there and I think GK's a great first test for this Friday.
Yeah, it feels like GK are going to be sitting on that bubble of a major spot.
You know, sending five teams, Jack's going to open it though, finds the 50 on tops, 20 seconds left.
Just need to hang on now, GK.
This is how GK gets you.
You just start peaking and you start having the mistakes at the last few seconds.
Still 20 seconds though, so Gritty Goose.
I mean, we have a pretty high score in game, I should say.
getting this deeper to the series. So the full set, you got to send the house as you say CJ.
They got to go for it now. It has to be a bit of a mistake as well on GK's side of things.
Just want to sit back in there. That's a beautiful beat coming through. Now it's a one on one for
Bob. It gets dusted and that is going to be game and series. GK a little scary wave, but a huge
resume. They get there. They get there. They hold down the fourth there and Gritty goes,
I think redeem their honor here again. They start off the series not scoring for the first
Was that yeah, it's from the first two games. Yeah
What ten minutes no goals and then managed to get a winning game for these four three game or there
So my respectable series of the five the end that is going
Of the series they'll drop full over bracket
They've got a match pick at synergy and round two and 11 we get we were all hoping we would get here in group a gentleman's
versus GK for a spot on tomorrow's playoff Saturday.
Ooh, that's fun.
And I'm kind of surprised there were so many 3-0s or 3-1s
for this first round of Group A.
It's a pretty stacked group,
and we'll take a look at those results, of course.
No huge upsets for me, except I kind of expected K-Op 4
to come in a little hotter.
They got swept by Magnifico.
Definitely thought that was going to be a closer series.
Yeah.
That's... I think that's the one that we're all kind of rooting
for, Catapult.
to be unbiased over here but you've got to have a lot of love for our 54 in a little bit of a comeback
season there was some decent goals on that first round we saw finally gritty just wake up through
that game three but Jack closed in the door in that final showing there. Journal mates a little
scary as well wait they didn't look as hot as we thought after that first game it kind of got a
little scary we saw the tight series at 1-1 as well for synergy so they're still not fully convinced
Yeah, we're still happy to see them be the greatest team in the history of Rock League,
the way we saw them in the first major there in Boston.
Like, it was the performance they put up there was so incredible,
and we keep waiting to see that level of performance out of the gentlemates.
But here they get the job done enough to qualify for the next round.
With, again, we're talking about them being the favorites in this matchup,
and while PCS did put, make them work for here,
we're pretty cleanly through to have a match against Magnifico for a spot at the top.
Yeah, we're gonna be interesting to watch because they kind of fell through the cracks of the discussion when it came to, well, the last one first.
I mean, they got knocked out in groups pretty early.
It's like I said, there was a ton of game five, so there was so much to talk about but WIP in that moment.
But hey, WIP returning means and the fact that this roster stayed together, which is always great.
It means they're gonna be the ones to watch, especially after that NIP upset.
love to see them have a strong first win here.
Yeah, they need to make the most of this group as well,
which is they didn't last event.
I believe they're only kind of the cloud
in a circle quadrant.
I mean, when you're looking at these next matches,
Blake, you've got the likes of GK coming up
against Gennemates, you can see it there on the bracket,
Witt Magnifico, I mean, come on.
This is just a, obviously it's not afraid
to be tough for both teams, but for Witt,
that should be a game that they'd be looking at.
3-0 out of the Swiss, they now get a team
that didn't make the main event last time,
Even though on paper, they're a good roster.
They need to make the most of this opportunity.
I'm kind of excited to watch Synergy versus Grittygoose,
both at the end of their series,
we're starting to look strong against their opponents,
and their opponents were the favorites of the group here.
So how do they bounce back here
after both getting really solid warm-ups there?
PCS Stride, congratulations on magnet to Friday.
You now get to play KDOP Corp,
because they weren't able to figure out a win there.
But hey, KDOP Corp have yet to win a game,
only team in the group that hasn't won a game yet so far.
PCS starts like, hey, we got a game.
Maybe they can continue that streak against KDOP Corp.
So that's upper quarterfinals done,
or to move over to the upper semis and lower quarterfinals.
So the four matches you just saw on your screen
will be all played simultaneously here in just a moment.
So we're going to get those matches set up.
If you want to follow any one of these teams' stories,
these are the matches that the streams to do it on.
I've been going to have these pulled up.
I've been keeping an update on those.
Hey, Atachi up there, which it'll makes there,
having a great time.
Go check out their stream.
and supports it with the Rock Week creators out there.
Folks, why don't you take a quick break
when we come back round two here
for open number five Friday here on RLCS.
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the lamp.
Now lays can be a big test
for a young homeowner turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full,
they go to the overflow lot.
I heard him, I was right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents,
but we can't protect your home and auto when you bubble with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We had the red convertible.
I can see right through you, right through I can see right through you
I
Brighter lights in Tokyo
So I hear it whispering
That could be the one you're listening
I just wanna let you know
Brighter lights in Tokyo
So I hear it whispering
The final matches in the book we got two upper semi-final qualification matches and two lower
bracket elimination matches here for you on a Friday. Continuing on our road to the regional
championship Sunday here in just two days Friday. A fun, exciting day for many teams,
but also the end of the road for half the teams left in the competition. RLCS continue
to entertain and join now by Gibbs Gibbs. I mean, round one biggest surprises for you.
I feel like there's a few contenders here. I feel like absolutely nothing happens in that first
like there's some game like absolutely nothing every team that I expected to win
one maybe Magnifico maybe but also like they were supposed to be a top 16 team
last time that's a minor upset maybe because it's a sweep sure but K.Dot
Corp you expect them to come back down to an average playing field at some
point they should be on the borderline maybe that one goes five normally but
Magnifico I think they are a very talented bunch so it's not too
surprised that they won that, but also I'm just happy about whip because like I
could see a team like that going 3-0 in Swiss and then somehow falter and like in
that round one so they got the job done. So that's a really good point here CJ. I
feel like we do see a lot of Swiss merchants that then we're like we get
in the bracket we're like are these the same team so they just hand their
controllers to their younger sibling like what is going on here right so the
battle they came out and actually won their first match today even if nothing
else goes here they at least beat those allegations. Yeah it's a bit of a
broadcast debuff as well. I feel I want to hit the main event. It happened a lot in OCE.
There's some plays that just were absolutely popping off, but the bright lights sometimes
are just too bright for some of these teams. So it's good to see that they are performing
in the main event as well. We are going to stick here with group A. Not going to be hopping over
a group B. My brain was even starting to prepare myself for group B, but that's not how it works
anymore, folks. We're going to stay with the same stories we were telling there in the last
segment. We're going to be telling those same stories here. And four of them are going to,
or two of them are going to be ending right here right now. Synergy versus Gritty Goose
and KDupcourt versus PCS Stride. Those matches are for their tournament lives. You survive
that and you get to play in a qualification match next round.
GK versus GK and Whip versus Magnifico. They've got everything to gain. Nothing to lose here.
You lose. You just drop the lowers. You win. You're through to Saturday's gameplay. You
are done for the day.
Gentlemates versus GK. Here Gibbs going to be the obvious like fun match to watch up there.
But I think we kind of expect both those teams to still make it out of this group.
Those elimination matches, I mean, is there one that seems more extreme than the other?
Ah, I guess I want to see if K-DocCorp can kind of bounce back because, yes, they did
so well last time around.
I want to see Alpha try and perform like he didn't open for.
But those matches, high pressure, because if you lose those for any of those teams,
you know that you're playing for the LCKQ at this point, right?
Open six, it's not really going to matter what happens there.
But on the top side, I feel like that bottom quadrant with work and progress and Magnifico,
that was the golden bracket. That is what you wanted. That is what Wip earned with that 3-0.
And now they both get a chance at a top six to be in that major conversation. Again,
this is the Paris major and these guys have not been there before. So whoever wins that match,
I feel like is that golden ticket. But GK gentle made so much pressure on the line there too. So
a lot of pressure across the board. Yeah, I mean, I feel like for Gritty Goose versus Synergy as
as well. An elimination match for their season. Grity goes right now sitting seventh in European
Worlds points, sitting ninth in Paris major points. This is a really important match,
CJ. Yeah, it's, I mean, it's just so close. The
season wraps up so quickly. Now as well, I feel like the players, it's even quicker
for them because every now we've got, you know, only six events is just so much more
pressure, so much more at stake during each weekend. So you just got to be on the game.
best of fives as well. We mentioned it in the pre-show just how quickly things can go wrong for
you and before you know it, you've gone 0-3, 0-3, you're out and your season's over. So I love it,
I love the high stakes. I think the players though are thinking my goodness there's a lot of pressure
on a random weekend sitting in my room planting rock. It should be a good time. You go check out
Ryze stream at RxaiiLRL if you want to watch that Griggers versus synergy match in its entirety,
but we will be covering those matches as we half through the four matches here.
They're going to be alive at the same time here for our Friday
broadcast. I'm excited about each one of them.
I feel like every single one of these matches has a story
to be told in it.
So we'll be telling them as we go through with their PCS
versus KDOP Corp.
And we talked about KDOP Corp's perspective.
PCS also trying to bounce back there.
You know that they thought they had a chance.
They really could feel it in their grasp there
for their match against WIPL.
WIPL versus Magnifico.
You win that.
You're playing on Saturday.
Magnifico trying to bounce back after not making top CX team
the last event WIPP tried to make
for their best runs of their careers.
It will probably start here with,
let's start with Gentlemates versus GK.
I'll keep you guys updated on how the other matches
are going here, be each one of these, excited.
Let's lock in.
Let's lock in, gives great to have you here as well.
I mean, look, I want to apologize clearly,
the first round just wasn't doing it for you.
You've come in and said that you were bored,
there was no upsets.
And then you basically said there's only one good game
in round two as well.
You're not interested in the other three.
No, no, no, I didn't get what you want for us.
There's a lot of great matches here in round two.
A lot of pressure.
We're gonna go, you know,
but I'll do the sponsoring too
because I show up J1 presented by progressive.
Let's get it going.
Oh, he's a campaign man.
And the company is listening.
I'm ready for that.
I am pumped.
European Rock League, I've been gone for too long.
I did some North American stuff,
but you know the game plays out there.
So we got gentlemen, it's coming down.
GK, both these things missed out on top eight last time.
Both desperately need,
Basically an open win at this point, and this is the road to it.
You've got to have two lives going.
This is a completely different man to the guy that two minutes ago
when Wave said, are you interested in any other matches?
And he went, eh.
I just had a wake up, all right?
I said, I'll wake up a little bit.
Now the rock is on the screen.
I'm ready.
We're ready.
Wave, what else has happened and talked to us?
I mean, Magnificent versus Wip's already hot.
40 seconds in.
They both have a goal on the board.
Nice aerial place.
Here's my victory, I was able to bounce back on that one.
KDuffCore's already up 1-0 versus PCS Stride as well,
so it's exciting goals getting started here.
Channel mates as well, looking okay,
gives all your thoughts on their first run.
Oh, hang on a minute, little equalizer here.
Channel mates, they obviously didn't make the top eight.
How much slack are you cutting them?
I guess you'd say, Gibbs.
They did have a little tough run,
but man, City, they made you chance.
You gotta win, you gotta win more.
Like you have to win those the first time ever that a major champion is not the top eight and they'll follow an event as well
You don't want to be on that side of history
Oh, if you're the mage, but yes, they had a tough road, but at the same time you got to win those games
I feel like I want to call out Oskie a bit because I feel like he was like the split one MVP
For this squad like up until the major obviously with NAS like doing so well there
So I want to see him kind of pop off again, but GK on the other side too a last place
that cannot happen. Like at this point, especially with the roster. A lot of pressure on both
these teams. Ever Mates fans do, you know they've won a lot of Paris tickets. What are
you doing? All right, so make at least the top six here at two lives. Probably be a
favorite to win this tournament if they can get by GK. Yeah, well, let's just hope that
the Falcons have one half of stadium because then I'll look at two pretty over me and we'll
see what happens there. That also wraps up. But yeah, gentlemen, you call it an oski.
And look, Nass, the expectations are through the roof now because my goodness, that grand
final in Boston, it was the most ridiculous finals performance you've seen nearly ever,
stats wise. So it's got to be hard to back that up online as well, wherever else is kind
of playing a little bit more consistently. But I'm still expecting some sort of level
that resembled what we saw in Boston, which we didn't see in our first advantage.
GK almost scored their second goal with a pressure on Gentleman's.
Yeah, this is a tough matchup for both these teams.
Obviously, they're both like, all right, we're pretty happy we have a chance to top six,
but neither wants to face one another.
As both these guys know that these guys are major ballpark teams, they should be top five
teams.
You're just one down ornament for both of them.
So, yeah, that pressure's high, but these guys are all veterans of the game outside of
maybe like tempo, like in terms of big moments.
So they should be ready for this matchup.
Yeah, should be absolutely locked in.
They have a minute 45 left.
This one's gonna absolutely come down to the Y wave.
There any other games that are coming down to the Y
in that game one?
They're all pretty close.
Ked off corner has successfully had a 2-0 lead here
against PCS.
They're bouncing back just fine.
1-40 left to go in that game.
Whip is up 2-1 versus Magneto with a little under half
the game left to play.
So trying to make the most of that opportunity.
2-1 in favour of Synergy over Gritty Goose. That game with 2 minutes left to go as well, but lots of rocks still have to be played here in the series.
I'd say that. Rezears ties things up now. Synergy versus Gritty Goose. That's high game. 1-49 left to go.
Yeah, I think WhipGibs have to make it. They've had 2-3 quadrants. I know they went 3-0 in the Swiss both times, but they can't just do it in the Swiss.
They need to make the most of it because some of these other quadrants are ridiculous, like this one with what you're on here.
Yeah, absolutely. And I just want to see more tempo action. Like we saw him in that first
series get some incredible goals. He had that ground pinch that didn't even look like it
could be pinched at that terms of goals. And he had that wall catch and aerial dribble
to secure that final game as well. So tempo has been on something. So he's playing incredibly
well now. And he's also been more passive. I feel like when he was on man city, he was
that number one player that would leave the charge on the opposite side. Now he's trying
to tone it down a bit because you know he has abstract on his team. Historically, past
two years has been the fastest player in Europe and just plays chaos ball time and time again.
So I think Tempo has to kind of learn his place on this team of like, yeah, I have to
play a little more passball. Well, Jack and Joy can do what they want to do, but right
here we see a great pass out by Oskie for Archie to secure this with like 15 on the
clock. Yeah, this is just a bit of a positional mistake there from J.K. Jack obviously getting
50 off the post, but just both front post there, Tempo sitting on the side while Jack kind of rotating front post through net ends up facing the wrong way and just having to chase Archie down doesn't get the touch in time so still seeing, it's not perfect just yet from GK and as you mentioned Tempo's kind of gone from being that guy on Man City whether he was the leader but he was certainly the person that everyone looked at as the best player to now kind of just being a third.
Oh, this is gonna be almost, see a play ball still gonna be up.
That's surely gonna try and feed through this one straight to the ground.
They do take game one.
Every other game, super close here.
We're gonna, I think we're just gonna go by time.
PCS stride versus K.4, 18 seconds left.
K.4 takes the lead.
3-2 in every game, but make sure you keep all the screens up, folks.
So last week, we had a record of 3-2 series.
Maybe it's gonna ever record the 3-2 games.
I like it. The opposite of score, I mean, every game is a 4-over-time.
Here we go, 7 seconds left, CK.Corkin, try and move their way along in this double-e-mbracket.
They dropped down early. The disappointing is Magnifico. They will be able to take that game on,
which is important. Everything else is a little... Oh, hang on, we've got a tie.
Ballgame top-right. Yeah, let's see if we have an ending ballgame bottom-left here.
Gritty Goose trying to see their second.
No, we got two games going to OT, maybe.
That's a right play.
That is not a Rixie play season.
That is a run.
Rixie.
Where are they?
Look at the shot.
That's zero.
We've seen a couple zero second goals to four.
So I'm already today.
Love to see it.
That's my boy Rixie.
I don't know about this run nonsense, apparently,
that he's going.
That's my boy Rixie.
And I'm going to stay in five.
If my keyboard was on fire, I was just in your DMs.
It's right! It's right!
Rich, you just sound so much better though, doesn't it?
Maybe in a minute, I'm going to go,
hey, in a minute, Sinigie coming through is...
Well, this overtime could go forever.
I'm going to warn that everyone,
that when you do see Gritty Goose on the team,
when you see the Germans playing together,
they would like a 10-minute overtime.
We saw it with GK as well, that when six minutes,
I believe, maybe the best part of five.
It could be in for a long one, Gage.
Just to give you updated too,
Magnificent Gil vs. Whip has also gone to overtime.
GK vs. Elmets have gotten into game number two,
Oh, dear started high, connected here, Dorito on the upside top, it's pretty clear.
AJG, just don't uncall against me.
Have a good one.
I think we had an own goal compilation in OCE and I think that still topped it right there.
That was fantastic from AJG, just a beautiful assist play.
As I think Ruziz could have definitely ended this overtime here, they completely opened up the other end about 25 seconds ago.
Just hit the crossbar.
Finishing isn't quite there and sometimes I can separate these teams from the very best.
These two teams are very talented though.
We saw looking up before, Team 6 Energy making some moves.
They don't want their major hopes to die here.
They want to continue, but this is a very good team as well as not.
It's not a PGG grand safe though.
They're very low boost.
Very low boost.
City GS, because there's a reset, the flip, the flip,
the interest is, that low boost everywhere,
gives a resist, gets to work, it beats all three members
of the defense.
That, the flip reset off the wall,
just bounce it back and forth.
When no one has boosted, just keep the ball near the crossbar.
Great shot there.
One minute overtime, Magnifico manages to find their way
through the whip defense, and they do get the win there
in game one.
No goal scored here in the second game.
Nice, the two series that have gone that far.
I take that back.
Tempo has scored.
One goal has been scored in game two.
Congratulations, Tommy.
Great, Tommy.
Great, Kostka is there as well.
I can't believe Wip lost game one.
That looked like they were going to rock that one.
It was so close there that they really
have like holding control of that game, too.
That's going to be a watch on Wip.
They might be the best sweepstage team you've ever
seen in broccoli, but just can't all get the job done
when we do find the main event.
We need more team game changes than just to change the name to Joyce, you know, just
a Swiss version.
I was going to go over to that tag, Swiss team of all time, I was like, oh, that maybe
might have a word.
Yeah.
There's that little guy, but you see him as that third man on offense, just looking
for the cleanup.
He's sworn a lot of roles so far through this first few series.
Keep an eye on that, because every time they're at office, you see Jack and Jojo moving up
feel trying to set something up for Tempo.
Yeah, a bit of a two man band and Tempo still trying to find his
feet in this one, but early lead is important for GK.
We did see in the match against Grudeguse, they looked a better team
when they were losing.
They certainly played with a bit more freedom, bit more offense
and were able to tie the ledger anytime they're in a deficit.
Archie, that's just beautiful.
He's just completely faked out the defense.
They thought he was going to become an equit.
He just the lazy show kids love the mind game there doesn't use spooce. He has it
He had the boost but knew exactly what he started to do a low 50 and it turns it's just a free shot
Love the mind games there by Archie
They're really nice players. He's
They just missed a solid that's a show of a myth and tempo. I don't know who's gonna be in but certainly off the post have to be
No, the way boy off the air he said Jack can't land on it. Oski with zero boost. I threw it straight into a temp out of the door
They just got to hit the ball, GK!
James, what are they doing?
Another save from Oski with 0-boos, GK!
Should have scored about 16 times.
Zero goals in the name.
I like the idea by Joyo.
He definitely should have scored that
big mark after the 10.
He puts that on net,
but he just messed up the double tap.
Couldn't get the shot, and Jeff will be survived.
Wow, it felt like they were overthinking that offense.
They just thought, what if we just
shoot it straight out, Oski?
Unfortunately, Roski hit 0-boos,
he could have gone anywhere.
I thought he did have a hundred, but he left one-on-one.
Blake, how are we looking around the grounds?
It's been pretty slow going with the other games.
Ked-up, of course, is up 1-0 over PCS,
but the other two games, about 3-46 left to go.
No goals, if we make it go with or synergy between the two games.
Hmm.
Sticky, then, Gibbs.
Yeah, a lot of pressure here.
A lot of play on the orange side of the field,
but there's just no execution on the final touch.
We saw earlier, apparently, Jack went up in the air
for a redirect didn't get the pass.
So Joyo now with the shot off the crossbar
and the execution is just not there for GK.
It's getting to the point
and I've felt this as a player as well
and you've had so much offense
and it doesn't go in, you just think we're losing this game.
It's just, you just know.
I mean, they should have scored about four times now.
Another pinch off the bar, everything's in at the corner,
everything's in at the crossbar
as the pre-jump comes through, Joyo, nice defense.
You can see Kibben nice and close,
he's Oscar, he's been nearly zero boost
in his entire game, he's seriously starved.
So, GK's done well on that front,
it's just finishing off their good work.
There's Joyo, no aerial bump, just goes from a crossbar,
beats out the defenders, and finally,
the execution comes through for Joyo,
and secures the goal.
I think everyone thought at first it was going to be
an aerial bump, but that extra little touch there
to speed it up to the crossbar, gets the job done,
and GK looking to tie it up.
Yeah, he just recognized it for a moment
that that third man was oscillating,
kind of angle to the wall and just shaped straight on net.
Found the 101 he was looking for
and then over the top of that last man in net.
So great play from Joy.
That's what you want to see for the GK supporters.
And I think we all just want to see our team GK that roster
performing a little better than they did in over the four,
15 seconds left.
Looks like they might be able to tie this one up.
They've certainly been on offense
and trying to keep that ball pinned.
Maybe one last chance.
I'm going to free backboard.
10 plays off there in time,
but he makes the save.
Huge place coming through the clearies after GK.
We got to make this 1-1-1.
Just need to find the ground.
Tomsky off to the side, want to keep it up.
Come on.
K-Dop Corp has a nice two goal lead against PCS.
PCS only got one goal so far in this series.
K-Dop Corp would only have a bounce back just fine over there.
Whip has the one goal lead versus Magnifico.
And the tied series between Gritty Goose and Synergy Gritty Goose
have to win in game number one.
Can they finish out there in game number two?
As a great excuse, there's an important, again, we've had many importance of this team that actually has a
notable amount of points coming in from the first split of the season.
Trying to maybe build an underdog run here in split number two. A win in this series, very important.
For both teams too, because, because we've seen, like, for Paris Major,
they'll be seeing Team Synergy, you know, they got top six last time, they're right on the border,
So if they can make it through this lower bracket, they have a chance to triple commit on defense and Rhyde will put it home synergy back on top.
I love that extra pass from Rhyde.
He might have had an open net on the left side, maybe overthought it, but it just forced a double commit into a triple commit coming through.
So, yeah, beautiful play.
They're looking to look at pretty good synergy.
You can see why they were able to take down a KC if they're not quite at their top because, gee, these teams that are around that, you know, five to eight mark in.
in your case that I'm very competitive against the top doesn't feel like there's quite that gap
yeah but it always feels like they can get those upset wins but they always fall short in a three
open span for a split right they never make the majors but they can cause some chaos beforehand so
maybe one of these guys because it's been pretty much dominated outside of a couple players by the
same old card of Europe so we'll see if one of these teams can finally break through and make
One of these meters.
Absolutely.
The consistency, I think they're the best of seven as well.
Sometimes they find them out, but that second goal is going to be huge.
Look at the solo play of the ball.
This kind of just gives opposition, trying to throw it around to Rito.
Who just caught him beautifully off the ceiling with a reset.
And then a little help with the defender.
It's so good, because it's not only the catch,
but it's also he jumps to the ceiling.
Somebody can do so much more with it.
So beautiful from him to get up there perfectly.
Yes, like the defense was not expecting it. So maybe they were not in deep right position, but that's
Hopefully free placement by three. We don't go bad on this one. They're charged forward and go for that goal
Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful. I think he might have learned that from you Gibbs
You know, I have scored one foot for sickle in my career. So, yeah, it was not hoops
So I don't know if it even counts, but you know, I think
Yeah, just dunk it on all the kids, which is all I can see gives you
It might have been up to Sun, but you know, hey, whatever.
Wow.
Yeah, so you're only racing on your own Sun.
That's a story for another day.
How we looking elsewhere?
Synergy looking at that they probably got this one locked up.
Whip is also locked up.
Game two against Magnifico.
They're 3-0, great bounce back after losing that overtime
in game number one.
Gentlemates leading 1-0 over GK here.
Archie won a drag race in the sky to a free ball.
Put it in from midfield.
GK now looking to equalize.
It's a good sign for Mates, because I feel like the last two minutes of that last game, they had two score chances only.
It was always on their side of the field, so to see them playing some offense again is a good sign for Mates fans out there.
Yeah, just seeing Oski as well, right there, going for a Bogo. Archie hitting that reset as well. It's just beautiful as Oski nearly own goals.
Another end, but it looks like they are feeling it. When you've got a guy going for a Bogo on your team, I'm like going to look, but I'm thinking this guy's confident.
guys confident just guys absolutely happy to have these
oh a tempo it's going to be over there check that's just going to be okay all good
no I'm done there you go what is happening these double taps you scored
these 99 out of a hundred times what has happened to Joyo right now he had some
boost left he couldn't reposition but it's right it still goes in but it feels
like you enjoy us a little bit of it did he go for the extra part did he think
Perhaps flying through the side of the net because they want someone a little late
I don't know. I'll keep it on this time. Okay, so I see another double step there.
Yeah, it just it looked automatic but it just didn't find the angle. The jack was right there and
you know it is 1-1 so no harm done. 10 points. I'll get it to Pombo at the top.
That corner is a little bit of a curse from GK. We saw it in the previous game.
still it looks tough for them to find the back of the net even if they do get an
open opportunity but they are creating offense they can't pass. This gentleman
trust the pin they do like seeing it in defense a lot this gentleman's team
particularly Archie but that's not this much it's here there by Templar
Templar though every time he's on the ball it's been threatening he's getting that
one extra touch that no one expects and then he's having a full enough phase
He's got that, so he could keep that cone,
apparently Jack had bumped out,
a little 50 by Ascii, but he gets turned away, a GK.
He just can't tie, but Archie off the ceiling
and Ascii's looking for pups.
Doesn't even need it, some of us would jump early,
but the net was wide open and Archie,
so here's the ball.
Yeah, Archie didn't panic here, he just said he slipped.
Just drove off the route instead of jumping off,
so he could rip that ball as hard as possible.
I know that two-piece did mention in Boston
that Archie, out of any player in the world,
He's heaps the ball the hottest
So you see right there
It's kind of see apparently plays the game so he saves all his hard hits for
Recharge or something just you know charging up
Smart plan small plan date life. How we looking?
Yeah, of course is a leading against PCS tri-loon that are trying to sweep them there
Magnifico trailing against the week there 40 seconds in we've had a great angle out of the corner compact putting them ahead
They're trying to take a leaf in the series, but long way to go. They have three no goals yet between synergy and gritty gears
Yes, did he swap?
Control was with an ass. Oh something look at the catch
Racist nice, but great people in that easy. Jack's time flips though. Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, not pretty but yeah, it was a pretty goal
Well, that was definitely it one that should be same there so what you can I just watched a tachi report apparently Jack for griefing
He's reported H.A.G.
Oh, that's awesome.
That is awesome to see.
Make sure you check out the team shirts as well.
The waves have been shouting out.
Look at this format as well.
How many teams are you on this group?
It's 8 teams.
8 usually? Yeah.
They need 18 teams open at 16.
We had in the first event when they were all going on at once.
Not too many tabs.
Let's catch PCS Drive vs KDOTC.
They're the final minute of their PCS Drive tournament life.
They do need to win this game to make it through KITUP Corp again dropping that first series 3-0 looking to 3-0 back the other way
Get back on their winning ways
Yeah, I think PCS is one of those teams like in this group
I think a lot of people thought they might bounce out here, but they want to make some noise
But Mike Boy's made noise before in previous years
So let's get right back on to it. Oh cool all has a scoring opportunity there
Okay, that's from 20 on the clock, should be kill it, Rado, nice play by himself, but smashy gets it away.
Let's see if PCS has one last chance at life here.
Maybe reset one last chance on the floor, KD, C, it's up, you always want to say KC, K.com.
Just there to find the ground now.
Let's get that first win of the world. Beautiful that we threw into that long bracket as we dig it.
It's got to be not the goal shot on their top left GK nearly found two in the last 30 seconds ball still up
Gentlemates want to get this one down to the ground find it to one
It was a gentleman's defensive error to the gave GK that one goal
So almost a collapse, but they get the win and they'll be on match point with versus Magnifico
137 left to go here and with leading 1-0
So, I get this as well as I went in.
Yeah, we're just for top six and two likes on the weekend, playing all weekend long,
no matter what, huge game for both of you.
It's because that Swiss is getting the best setting possible to whip, and kind of also
means that if you do fall into the whip bracket, you're thinking, well, this is fantastic.
If I did this team three on the Swiss, I'll take this over, the likes of the KC or Vitality.
That's when they need to go for themselves right now, but they still need to get the
job done and where yeah probably deserve you know a top six performance given
their seating and in kind of where they found themselves through the group stage
just haven't got it done yet that's fair to pick would say be careful you know
like these things are real for a reason they're playing some good rock and so it
might look easy on paper but these teams are hot I'm pretty good into Eugene
doesn't get the touch they shift he goes out with a handed army toxic oh hang on
Oh, don't get the angle. I'm going to cut him from slack there.
I've been getting a lot of these by slack joy over for now, toxic.
So what are your thoughts on toxic? He's been pretty, uh, well, highly thought of.
Kind of like the huge Intel operator as well.
I mentioned before Garrett absolutely loves the way he's playing.
Yeah, has a lot of potential.
Yeah, he has a huge goal at zero in the first series as well.
the one like redirect the power shot so and GK already up 1-0 though in game 4
we could be looking at champs field it's not early though
yeah it'd be fitting if we were to get a champ just to kind of test this GK
lineup in a game 5 against the major champs see kind of where the ceiling is
for this team see if they can lock in under pressure as well but perfect start
didn't quite catch that first goal but yeah it still looks a little
rough life, I don't know how much you've been watching kind of off-frame while we've been
looking at a couple of the games that don't look quite, well they're not, they're not looking
like the major champs, right? Yeah, no it's still, it's, I feel like GK is scoring more on defensive
opportunities than, other than a few really strong
pop-off moves, not, okay, I'm mixing it up with the gentleman, so yeah, it's mostly been gentleman's
defensive errors, I feel like that GK's been capitalized on, which is important at this
level of competition, but still they haven't been creating their own opportunities as much.
I have to be safe there by Joyo though.
She just got back in time.
Oskie trying to throw her mid, but GK will get the clear.
And yeah, we see Mates playing some offense here again.
GK holding serve though, but it's still so much left on the clock
here that they're going to have to find some offense.
And again, it's about that execution.
I feel like GK could be up 2-1 in the series
if their shooting was just a little bit better.
Quick update on across the matches here.
A very, very close series between Synergy and Gritty Goose.
They're one and one of peace in game three right now.
They are in overtime as well,
with one ball scored a piece in that game so far.
So winner of this overtime, you know, match point.
I still feel like this GK team,
I'm gonna keep tempo with the camp.
I still laid save coming through Nass,
just a lunge of stop corner.
Something about this GK team,
I feel like they look a lot shakier
when they're in this position, one nil up versus
when they are behind and they're kind of playing
a little bit more freedom there.
They look, I mean, even just before that defensive set,
like a lot of double commits,
a fair bit of panic going through.
They don't look like they can put a game away
with multiple goals, it's kind of, you know,
just hanging on just.
Yeah, you do worry about them
when they are on defense about those double-clicks.
I think like out of these top European teams,
you would expect them to make more of those errors than not.
But it's been a mate so far,
like in the series you've had a lot of those double-clicks
errors, so, see how plays double mates are still up,
in the match anyway, here's a chance Archie,
ooh he almost missed, he gets it, he gets it,
that was cool, I thought he missed that one.
He was definitely off the post there Archie.
Yeah, that was easy, easy, buried that one away,
but yeah, okay gentlemen, sorry G-Cown,
that's all the things, you mentioned it before Wave,
like they're one nil off, they just get a bit antsy,
and then they just force a little positional error,
Archie is going to capitalize on that every day of the week.
I think it's one of those things,
with all three of these players, they all want to be on the ball so much, you know, Jack
Troyola and now Tempo who played on Man City was that player on the ball that like, they're
just not used to it yet. They're not used to being passive as a third man and it kind
of bites them sometimes.
Yeah, who's the glue gone? If you overtime win, they'll go on match point versus synergy
and going into game four. Wow. Synergy, you could go from beating KC top six in the previous
event today and losing to a great goose team. Actually a pretty, pretty strong team, but
Obviously that it made it through to the top.
I lost to Man City, I believe, as TRP, you know,
people, that'll be interesting.
You know, a minute 50 though in this one.
This is a super important.
And now, this is where I feel like it's 1-1 now, Gibbs.
I think you see a different GK that play a little bit,
you know, they're spreading out, looking for the passes,
playing maybe a little more risk and less panic.
You know, a gentleman still looking to put the squeeze on.
Jack with a nice save, still a little bit of pressure
on this GK unit.
Yeah, it's up a bit of a big step,
but a dig off the cross, where I dip the roll off,
The defense a bit, now some chaos in the midfield.
Who's gonna come out with the ball temple?
Just throw it on target.
120 left of the clutch, still plenty of time.
Paralyzex just started deep.
I think everyone just needs some boost
and to recollect their thoughts.
Nice demo from Joyo.
Just gonna throw his General Maid's team off kill to a touch.
Speaking of touches, that's a beautiful one for Jack.
Group, but Oskie able to clean up.
Still low boost here, pressure on GK.
Now it's 1-1, they are having a lot more of the offense.
There's a beautiful pass, Jack just wasn't quite there in time, he's waiting for Joyo to rotate out
and now he's found a 7-1-1, it's going to be absolute disaster and it will be Nass.
Capitalized as you could see, Jack, he wanted to be there for the pass,
he had to wait for Joyo to rotate, gives and then he caught himself in no man's land, 1-v-1.
It's a game that just two Nass was so incredibly close to being bumped out or even demoed out there
but just barely greases his bumper, he keeps controlling. When Naxx is in a 1v1, he's very difficult to beat.
Apparently, Jack kind of caught flatfooted a bit on defense right here. It's a pass attempt.
Joyo to Jack to tempo. It does not go through GK. Have to throw everything at the wall now.
Yeah, this is it for them in the upper bracket. Obviously, double A-lamp. So, it's not the end of
the world, but Sivirin creates some magic. You just want to ease the pressure. You don't want to go
down to that lower bracket the mental demons of last week you're a couple of weeks ago
can certainly strike is a lot of pressure though. Nass, grabs the boost, has to be careful of
ripping it into his own net, Oscar off the ceiling with a pinch, he's being seconds left, GK,
what have you got for us? And if you do something, Joyo pops it up, Nass just goes high enough,
Jack, nice catch, he's working the reset he's looking for though, it was just awkward,
little wobbly, there's Joyo, needs one more pop, pre-jump, tempo blocked, get him mate, it's too
going to drop down. That's going to be 3-1 win. That's huge. The one for gentlemates there.
With these sports, their goal finally going in as they'll take the lead has been locked back and
forth. Really good score opportunities on both sides. Oh, that dunk. A few crossbar hits,
a few really good spots, but that dunk going to put Whip ahead one point by the way from being
the top six. The flip reset dunk, you love to see Dayship just throws it off the ground and just
waits for a split to use it for the challenge and secures the goal and whip again three-owned Swiss
they want to go through to the weekend undefeated and that's in they feel like they do deserve it
but they don't want to take it with both hands as my goodness and just a plate open that you can see
compact wanted to get involved it's basically a 3v1 though that second man from where it was
was beaten for free and Magnifico looking like they might be out of force five.
So I can find my more. Yeah, come back to that. No, he's probably thinking,
oh, it's a 3v1. I'm going to be bumped out or something.
I have to go for the play immediately. He obviously drove up and immediately was like,
yeah, but this is the wrong ball. Try to turn around, but he was waiting.
Wait up in there. Let me give this one back.
Come back in 50 seconds and still a lot of pressure coming through.
You're journey's going to fade that out. Nice save there. Day shift.
Off we cross the sidewalk.
They shift again first up.
So you want to leave the toxic.
It's one more.
Trying to fake out this
Magnifico defense.
Eugene,
Deceptive off the roof.
With 30 seconds.
Can they create something with a 50?
You can see the demo's coming through on third man as well.
Just didn't quite land that time.
Spending a counter attack.
He's going to over commit.
As you said,
he just gets involved.
Gets the touch that he was looking for off the corner now.
They've given up possession.
session. So we could be heading to overtime, Gibbs. We've said that before, and then
Hurroaks have been right at the end of the game. We'll see what happens here.
Tonsik, oh bad, 50. The shot comes out, but Wip somehow survives. A couple extra
chances to fight Magnificent, but gets turned away. Compact gets the fake clear.
And see if he can keep it up. He will not, I'd say.
Yeah, they definitely will have to be with an orifice on there, I'd say.
Magnifico. So we have that pinch secured. He covered a bit of space.
Over the top of one. It makes sure it does get in touch. It was required.
It's a bit of pressure here on with Magnifico. Well, they obviously need to have a fantastic
performance. You see, it devastated Atomic was after open four, not making it through to
that top 16, but gee, there's some pressure on work to make it through as well.
Well, yeah, it's all the pre-jump.
He was coming through his boxy.
I'm sorry.
It was a pre-jump on defense.
It looked like a pass.
It looked like a beautiful pass, but Toxic actually
pre-jumped the pass and played.
So well done to him.
Even confused me.
A little shaky on defense, though.
Two men losing to the man, Toxic going left.
Eugene secures it, and we're going to game five.
Eugene, one of those breakout players.
Back in like 2024, it feels like.
And now he's been kind of roster hopping around.
and he's trying to make some waves and gets a brilliant goal
passed to himself when he knew there was only one member of fact.
We're going to chance him.
Can't fail to go.
What's been happening out of the year?
Gritty Goose, they've been locked bumper to bumper just now.
Gritty Goose finally breaks the silence, getting a goal.
And they are, again, one minute away from surviving
to the next round in self-publication match.
And this opens up that door again.
there's five spots in Europe teams, but we see Team Synergy, they have the fifth
place right now, based on points. They go out last, that opens up that door again
for teams like a GK who also have a last place finish. If they can make a run through
the lower bracket, but it opens up that last spot of just a bit more.
Yeah, it sums up Europe doesn't it? It feels like this kind of 12 teams, it could
get top six on their day if they just get the right bracket, can make three
up as as Synergy did. So this is disappointing from Synergy if they're not
to make it through and it just doesn't look like it's going to be happening from the van
Grinigos 3029 seconds. This one's going to be all bit wrapped up. They sent it all. It was up to
ride to make it to the triple plate. It doesn't happen and Grinigos can't be moving on in that
whole bracket. Yeah this is open to the others. You set the teams that are underneath City G and
their ranking sitting like a GK. General makes obviously in that position as well.
Just makes it a little bit easier for them than I have to require perhaps a
regional win. I don't know if a win or a top two, but just kind of a semi-final. Top four,
top six performance puts it right back in that kind of fifth spot. Yeah, the other
fifth place team turned the hall, they don't play until later in Group B. So we'll see how
But yeah, it does, uh, bridge that gap down just a little bit.
You get a whole champions field here.
It's the only game that's going to matter.
Or the only game that's alive right now in RLCS.
And this one is a win and in to Saturday and also to Sunday.
This is for top six.
Huge for both teams again.
That fifth place spot opening up a bit.
WIP has shown that they can beat some quality teams.
Teams and Compact opens up the score in here after a great 55 day shift, just kind of force
the defense into something, Compact comes up as that third man in secures the shot bottom
left.
It was actually a beautiful 50 there, you could just see them crawling on the backboard
city side wall, one back close, no one looking to follow up on the 50, we chopped down beautifully
to Compact so great start there for Whip, nice pass across as well.
They just don't want to be too aggressive now, they do have the lead, you can see the
Scores from the matches there and out second round of the day up the bracket coming through everything else is
Yeah, we wound up
Welcome back good to see
European Flavor coming through and if they're not in the tournament 350 left whip still with the lady
Thank you. Oh my god, just a little bit of pressure on the big music. Oh, and they're gonna be out of it
They don't throw me into many night time for play funky you got
That is the only game we got going on. No, but yeah, you got in this one. Well, who I think wins this one
Oh, yeah, I like with I love to see them play so far. I think they're gonna finish the series off
And I sort of fall out, you know
He's like on every single part of the show. He's finally got this one game left game five
I'm going to take a little bit of a break and I'm going to mute my mic properly, relax, have a sip, and CJ's like,
Oh, I want more leaf on the ball.
Who doesn't want more wave punk?
Get a one in the chat if you can't get enough of the wave punk action.
I mean, I wouldn't mind you just, can you throw up in a play by playing for me on something karate wave?
Just for old folks sake.
Yeah, Mr. Toxic here driving down the field into the corner finds the booze, finds the demo,
finding everything for his team here, but it's not going to be enough out of the defense.
Magnifico.
Push them into the other side of the field, back and forth for all the players.
Nick over the other side.
There's a little bit of a heart as you know.
If you're the worst, nothing was happening.
And it's still the midfield, and it's still the midfield, and it's still the midfield.
Yeah, we're just playing midfield ball, there's Rocket League in 20-26, and...
Oh, hang on.
That's up?
Yeah, up in the air.
Okay.
It's a bit more of that action in the last half of it.
Yeah, two minutes 30, we're off the game left because it haven't...
Why it looked threatening, so if I did get the flick, that was a 2v1.
They didn't really figure that one out too well there in the Whip offense.
They definitely got to capitalize. They made it 2-0.
Yeah, they should be wanting the ball and not the player.
So it didn't really work out there.
Big clear though, by game shifts, it's not going to go in though.
Usually, it will be back in time.
Was that a front-back rule one?
It just got broken, by the way, on that side ball.
That's disappointing.
I think it does.
It wasn't nose to nose.
I think a front-back counts.
You look at all maybe who's backing down the wall at the risk of his going in the wrong direction
I'm gonna leave that that but I
They have legitimate case we ever broke that might get cursed in the other 40 legs
We'll take it all straight
Niko good challenge
Eugene, the last no boost, he's the last one back in compact, hope for the club.
Eugene, what a save on zero boost, avoids the demo and gets the big time save.
That's strength, that is just pure strength coming in, minute 20 left, whip still with the leader.
We're going to get a one that mill the champ field deciding match.
I feel like they're pretty great, usually you see a lot of mistakes coming through pressure on
deciding point in this upper bracket as well.
And you've got a top six spot on the line, as you said, gives you straight through to Sunday.
Even if you just you don't have to show up Saturday. If you don't want to give me the lower bracket on Sunday
You're still gonna be in that top six. This is huge right here and whip in the bookseats. Come on, play a bit of defense
You just have some boost but get speed out there Nika. Just gonna throw it deep
Just trying to waste the boost of work in progress here and you just again
He's just attacking right now. There's a scoring opportunity, but all three members back
So nothing doing here, but they should keep throwing it on target.
But Whippen is very happy with that.
They have everyone back just waiting on the goal line and getting some easy assists.
Very low boost. They shift.
Oh, you can see Eugene actually red. What was going on there?
They shift. They don't want the ball at all. They had zero boost.
They have been sitting in that pretty much since this first goal.
They might have one chance. Eugene in a two on one does well.
Peaches it downfield. Right there is Toxic. Does he get a chance?
You're looking for the infield. They just don't want to commit whip. They want to hold on to this late 10 seconds left
Will this be enough?
Who's trying to knee a Eugene? That's one more over the top. Blocked out. Anybody home?
One last shot. Atomic. Locked out just by compact. One more infield pass to Eugene. Back across.
Free flip won't go. Whip through in the upper bracket. They're in the top six wave.
That was a close one. That was a thrilling final game. I did say it.
call it though yeah yeah he asked me this off the top of my dome what I was
gonna win you did that one to be fair he actually won nothing and it ended one
nothing so you know I'm not gonna get too much credit there okay just go back to
play my play alright then I'll give you credit okay what up what up what a round
though back and forth here with securing that top spot gritty goose
keeping their hopes alive as well gentle mates through to a top six we've got
GK pushes Kiddup, coming up here as well as making it feel pretty good.
Yeah, I think GK in this match, we mentioned their defence, their shooting really let them down.
I think the fact that they weren't shooting well, it falls pressure on the next plate of follow-up,
the next plate of follow-up, they do over commit, so we're going to see Genoen's get through GK.
That's a little tough in the long bracket, once again, Wip. Well, we saw what happened here.
Gives that chest man through in a little 1-0, a little bit of a boring game,
but I'm trying to get way to do some play-by-play, but unfortunately it was just nothing happening.
but credit to WIP they get the 3L so they get the nice quadrant and they get the job done
they are top six and they are moving off so congrats to them
don't find their way through synergy I mean a story that ends here kind of
prematurely on Friday first I wonder what synergies situation is going into
open number six, which is really where the last thing they have left on the
season. Yeah, they will need at least probably in Grand Finals, right, to have
any chance at a top five spot. So it seems they can bounce back, but then we
also had like KDOT Corp doing pretty well, you know, getting the clean win versus
people. Yes, and the Gritty Goose, which go back for the highlights through both
these lower bracket games, but we'll see what happens. Gritty Goose versus
Magnifico Magnifico very the fellow champions field. That's a tough match up against gritty goose and also for GK
they get KDAPC or like
Now they're heating up late after a 3-0. Those are gonna be some difficult lower bracket games
We'll see how it goes. This is how group A is shaping up
We heard you're just talking about the matches a few times here
But now you can see them on your screen as well. Magnifico will be taking on gritty goose
GK will be taking on KDAPC or those are two winning in lose and out matches here for our open number five
weekend excited to see which teams get to continue their story on playoff Saturday.
First thing tomorrow, the groups are continuing on here. Folks, after these next two matches,
we're only halfway done. We're gonna hop over to group B, eight completely different teams
starting their runs through our weekend of competition here. And it'll be a lot of fun.
Four big contenders in that group and four hopefuls. A really good chance. We get some
cool upsets over there, folks. So for two matches left to play there, main goal versus
and GK versus KDOTPORP, we're gonna give those teams
a little bit of time to get set up for their matches.
So we're gonna take a quick break
when we come back to European open number five,
right here on the screen.
Make sure you check out the other streams as well.
Great streamers there covering the action.
We'll continue with RLCS after this.
Okay, the plumber's fixing that burst pipe.
It should be all set.
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your helmet out
of London from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption
to post about this.
Maybe something like,
I have protection just need a lifeguard.
What about that emergency with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
What?
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless in that app.
Am I right?

If I fly away
I
We're going to get it folks, we're about to find out two best of fives with everything
on the line.
Season implications, world championship implications for these teams and it's all going to come
down with this fantastic rocket league so far on the day.
Hopefully we get some more of it.
Only champions feel once so far, if I'm remembering correctly.
I think that's true.
Yeah, we won the championship one time.
So we'll see if we can get there.
Fear, welcome to the broadcast.
How have you liked it so far?
I've loved it.
It's been a great time watching these new Fridays
because I'm used to doing the watch parties during Fridays
when every single match is going on at the same time.
There's like 1,439 different tabs to look at.
Now we only have two when I actually get to hop in.
So it's going to be nice and easy.
I'm excited about it.
You get everything. Keep track of the action.
Watch your team lose in 4K a little bit easier here.
When you're watching, do you have a team affiliation?
Do you have a team that's like, that's the one I'm most partial to here in Europe?
You know what? No, but I can be bought.
I can be bought if I need a team affiliation.
I see. I've watched players for a long time.
So I usually favorite the one-to-one players, but tons of players have now doubled in it.
So I usually don't really have a direct favorite.
I see. I see. He can be bought, folks.
We'll see.
And he works taking up on it there. Magnifico versus Gritty Goose as well as GK versus KKDOPCorp.
My brain wants to short it to KCorp, but they haven't quite earned that one yet here.
GK versus KDOPCorp. Lemme keep it. We're gonna be at a win and in match.
Guys, I'm gonna crash out and Jordy's maybe gonna join me here wherever she is in the world
because how is GK the lower bracket situation against the team that could maybe beat them?
Although KDOPCorp, not sure.
Them getting swept by Magnus, but at the start of the day, really disappointed me.
like I said, that was supposed to be a way closer series.
I think clocking in, clocking out against PCS,
Shry, that was to be expected.
But now that KDOPCorp are warmed up,
my cope is that they're gonna look better.
But how do GK look now that they have to come back?
Yeah, it's hard for me to get a read on KDOPCorp
because we've only seen them sweep or be swept.
So like, luckily for them here, Fira,
like the sweep was the more recent of the two series,
but still, what's happening here?
What's going on?
I think KDOPCorp had a rough start.
I think I'm going to give credit to Magnifico who came back who weren't in main events last
time around. They played a much better game instead of games today.
I didn't get to see the KDOPCorp game as much.
So I don't really, I really either of them, I need to see them get swept or sweep.
I expect KDOPCorp to beat PCS Stride.
The good news is they might have a good matchup against GK considering they won it last time.
Those are top talents.
I didn't get to watch Alpha 54.
I'm ready to watch Alpha 54 again.
So I'm stoked about that one.
That's gonna be a lot of fun here as we're getting closer to those matches starting folks only two matches left here for group a
We've seen some fun matches so far. Yeah, you can see here that that run that
KDAPCore had was they got that 3-0 coming off of PCS right here
And we have I mean to fear is point limit
We have not actually on the mainstream watched a lot of KDAPCore
We've just heard about the result because every time we tune into their match
They're either getting bodied or they are body in and there's some other closer match that we spend more time watching
So this will be the first time we get like really kind of tune in and catch
that. I mean, it's just a
little bit of a challenge. How
is KDOT core playing today? And
I guess we got our first real
upset, I would say Magnifco
losing to it. What was a bit
surprising to me if you just
look at the players on paper,
I feel like Magnifco have been
more proven at least you in the
past, but whip are starting to
like prove that that win over
NIP that they had in Swiss was
the real deal and they
qualified to be on the upper
the competition, but now Magnifco have to try and stay in. And I know Atomic was really upset
not making the main event in the past, so he can't let that happen again.
These are where you can catch the full stories if you want to watch these teams play uninterrupted
by other gameplay, but we'll be cutting back and forth between these two matches. You're
asking where Jordy is, and she is hosting that GKE Sports broadcast on the GKE Sports channel. So
So we'll see if she's crashing out as well.
It's been going to be a fun day though with these four teams remaining, who's able to
make it through.
You can see the teams are getting warmed up on their servers.
And after this, we'll be jumping over to group B. We'll be back into the fray with eight
teams left.
Again, we'll be having four matches happening simultaneously.
And the group B, if upsets happen in group B, I think there'd be much spicier upsets than
group A, which felt kind of a group of group of life vibes to me here.
fear of like every team had an opportunity. It's really kind of cool seeing the teams that emerged out of group A like with these sports taking advantage of that group of life opportunity here and making a top six. Yeah, definitely. Gentlemates and and what's supposed to be GK should be some top teams. I think people are expecting a lot out of GK. Which is probably only really talking about that bottom half matchup GK K dog. But in the group of life, there's going to be a chance for Gritty Goose or Magnifico who we haven't really mentioned much at all. I've been really excited watching Gritty Goose.
for the last time, you know,
I've been playing the game
for a long time. Uh mainly
because I like to say
Boba Boba such a fun name to
say and also Hungarian player,
which you know, in Europe, we
get to see a ton of different
nationalities, just more
naturally than the any games
I'm used to watching over in
my region, but I haven't seen
that's not, you know, great
Hungarian players, so it's
cool to see the Boba with
pretty goose. And then
Magnifico all rock and, you
know, different nationalities
as well. I think that's it's
going to be a good match. I
So I could say more often, but Nico atomic Eugen are also, you know,
one guys to watch.
What a story would be if they're able to make it there.
We'll just kick things off with GK versus KDF Corp.
Keeping on that match here first, and I'll let you guys know
if something crazy starts to happen between pretty goose and Magnifico.
Both these matches should be good.
Yeah, that game one brought you by progressive and almost brought you
a first goal to, but this is what everyone is stressing out about
because the GK don't make playoffs again.
Paris is in shambles and that may also cost them
the championship because if Manchester City,
for example, get to the Paris major and not GK,
then they will hold on to that spot
and create even a further of a gap
because now we have a gap in the goals.
Renousen, getting our first bucket,
Renousen is a player that's,
has truly been playing at the ISIL for a long time.
Redosin and Alpha 54 teammates on that famous vitality team alongside Zen.
Matzr has to come in and try and beat the Zen for them,
and I'm not sure if he's quite ready to take that role.
I don't know if anybody in the game can take that role,
but Matzr is a French player that people have been looking at for a long time,
and I really love these teams that bring in the old guard of Alpha 54,
Redosin, alongside some new talents.
France has always been really good at doing that with their players,
and so along future ahead of Matzer.
But Alpha 54 is kind of an interesting storyline
because I'm not sure we've seen a player take off
as long as Alpha did.
Normally when you see a player who's been playing
for a long time, step back into a sub role for whatever reason,
you're usually just saying goodbye to them.
It's kind of like quiet retirement.
Alpha 54, he always kept his rank really high.
And so I was wondering if he'd ever be back
and now he's finally ready to show his still RLCS level.
I know the fans were super excited to see him
not silently retire and he's back from the quote metaphorical grade and matter who I think is has a lot of hype, especially the pros really speaking highly of him when he looks good on BDS.
He looks good with the ball right now, but he's also to care all over that.
And he also finished a second in the LCQ so the results have looked good, sometimes makes, but this team is looking good.
And I just love also in alpha and reducing like post vitality as I've said
I think I want to get back into that spotlight and find a team that can they can challenge and be amongst the top
I think that's why they almost adapted like a tough team name with KDOPCorp
Yeah KDOPCorp, I don't know how much I love that name. It confused me. When they first came out, I was like, oh that's KDOPCorp
I was like, wow KDOPCorp is actually doing really well because KDOPCorp would still make main events here and there
But usually they have a tough time. KDOPCorp are really good results. Wow, KDOPCorp is really back
But no, it's more like Alpha 54.
He's really back.
But Jack, Joyo, and Tempo, I want to talk a little bit about them.
It feels like this split or this season
has been the story of trades gone wrong.
And that is definitely what is weighing on the minds of the GK
players if this tempo move does not work out.
And this would not be a good result for them
if it continues the way we've seen already.
One goal, it's really lots of time to make up for it.
But they intentionally moved out to pick up Tempo,
as I understand it.
Seiko taking over a tempo spot in Man City,
obviously doing much better.
We'll get to see how they do in Group B later.
So maybe they have a chance to still kind of look equal to GK,
but there's no question that first regional is favoring them.
And I think there's a few different examples of that
across the scene.
I mean, we saw over in NA, a what kind of Gen G trade
that kind of worked out similarly.
We've seen maybe a Falcons trade
that maybe isn't working the way they'd like to over in Mina.
So there's a lot of different trades that have not worked
and it almost feels like the theme of the season,
but there's still time for GK to fix that.
I mean, they could bring this back
and show that the tempo was the right choice.
Yeah, when Mina makes trades,
you're like, oh my God, there's an investment there.
There's a lot on the line,
and there's a lot of weight that carries with that,
but I like that you brought us a, you know,
trade watch that we're also waiting for GK
to get that first goal.
And the way you mentioned that GK and K-Dop,
that K-Dop or did win against GK in the past,
but it was also off of GK, almost reverse sweeping K-Doc court
in that very first match of the group stage.
So that's what sent GK to the lowers
and I think really shook them up
because then GK ended up losing to KLG,
who's also in this group stage.
And that's what kind of words the demise of GK.
So I'm really, really worried about GK
being in this lower bracket.
It looks a little bit better here
in the latter half of this game.
The majority of it was spent in the blue half,
but now a couple of scoring opportunities
which is recent, clear that actually pushed them back.
They need to create something to get a bit more desperate.
As the clock winds down,
have a nice beat there.
The tempo, just having to make goal line saves.
He seems comfortable, but the clock is winding down.
GK has to find the magic, has to find some offense,
but they might just take a tough loss 1-0.
And the coach of KDOTPORP2, Econ, he spent months coaching Redosin and Matzer.
So now incorporating Alpha, that's just like the firepower that they need.
And you're waiting for that strong secondary with Alpha, because he can pull off automatic
solo and now they can just pull off this game win as long as the ball's on the ground.
And there we go, KDOTPORP with game one looking good.
Magnifico versus Gritty Goose, very close to going to overtime here.
There was a one, GrittyG who scored in like the first minute pretty quickly there, Magnifico, had to work real hard, he took like three shots at it, around 150 to tie up the game.
We'll see if they're going to overtime here.
I'm excited to see...
I'm excited to give it up.
Vibaba? Oh, a chance there.
Okay, there we go.
OT, I saw Vibaba hit a kickoff goal directly into the net, I think that was mostly GK's fault last time.
Uh, but doesn't seem like Manifold's gonna make it that easy on him.
Still a win here for GG.
Yeah, I was not expecting that Magnifico loss to there, but again, sometimes put the 100 oz peeking
and there is a good peek there from Tuck's friends of Gritty Goose to secure that game one, but that's still so close.
That was great preview from his years.
You could see him watching the ball,
seeing what his teammate was up to,
and then deciding, nope, he's got it.
Turn off ball cam, I'm going to chase down a defender.
Create an opportunity, and this is perfect.
What a transition, right back into more game play.
That's what I love about this Friday's.
I love that kind of red zone style.
We get to just drop in, and then we have plus games to watch
as we get deeper into at least group A,
and then it'll get chaotic once we kick off group B
after this, but trying to send some more teams.
But now, this is going to be about going into Saturday, not Sunday,
and starting on the lower side of playoffs, if you get there.
I feel like this game still has a lot to be decided.
We saw K-DopCorp score really early, I think it was maybe in the first 30 seconds or so,
and then no goals from then on out, still no goals in this first game.
So it's actually a fairly equal lobby right now,
despite the series edge for K-DopCorp for that first initial goal.
But Joao Tempo, yeah, and definitely Joao Tempo,
they check as well.
They feel like a team that should be a really offensive minded team.
I feel like I see Joao and Tempo creating opportunities all by themselves
and seem to, you know, I think it was CJ or Gibbs saying earlier that
they didn't seem to want to be on defense too much,
but apparently they figured out how to be on defense
because they released keeping the scoring to a bare minimum,
but I can't forget off the phone the way that's a nice double beat.
Joyous you have an angle jack try to finish it off, but now are they gonna get beat on a counter attack?
Hey, there's that all that method that is gonna get them smart on
Yeah, I was about to say it like GK haven't lost because of bad defense
It's just the lack of offense and having tempo in the lineup
You think that would not be an issue for GK, but now it's the rotations that are an issue because who's supposed to be back
You can't be all offense. You can't have open nets like this
You're in a pretty much do or die scenario when it comes to Paris and your future
So I put too much pressure out there, but there really is and now everyone's getting them
Yeah, I traded demos
Tempo trying to add to that by going for another one
It seems like K. That Corp is scrambling in that but they are just somehow making a play outlaw on zero boosts right in the perfect spot
To cut off a shot and they get nothing out of this GK
Cannot
You know come out of those opportunities without you can at least a better scoring chance their only shot off immediately by
Camps outside the net, zero loose defender.
Joyo, giving them a bit of space now.
Just finding the right times to go through these challenges, like ADCR just not making this easy at all.
And Joyo showed us flashes of brilliance in that first match against Gritty Goose.
Like he was off the ceiling passing to Appjack, now Appjack, to Tepo to the back of the net.
Okay, welcome back, GK.
Yeah, I love this pass from Jack.
such a negative angle. He needs to pass it. You know, it's kind of like a back pass. He really
just needs to adjust it slightly. If he puts it anywhere more in feel, they're just going to go
straight to a defender. So really strong assist considering how hard it can be to get that
sweet spot touch on a double. But GK on the board. Thank goodness. A goal for them. Kedakorpo. Oh my
goodness. Kedakorpo. Get a response. Oh laser. Pretty much picked up the phone and hung it up
and like this pre-jump. It's now KDC finding that flow into a flow state, which I wanted
to see more consistency out of that. And now KDC also waking up at the right time. It is the lower
bracket though, and if you don't make it through here, you're not going to playoffs, which there
was also considerations for KDC, and if they have some strong chances of making it to Paris,
so you've got to make playoffs for that though. Yeah, KDC, I mean Alpha 54,
and it wasn't that long ago that they're, you know,
making majors play at the top of the game.
So it's not unbelievable that they could do it,
especially with the help of fresh talent.
Usually that's a good way to get the right recipe,
but after 54, showing you never left with that goal
to put these guys in the lead.
Unfortunately for our other game,
this one is a very relevant one,
it feels like for major, and they're keeping it close there.
They're not, you know, blowing it out either way.
And maybe if K.Dot were to score again,
We can stop believing in GK, but they definitely are still in this one.
Just Jojo trying to get something going.
I kind of noticed that even from the past regional that GK are good at
playing ahead, like when they're up a goal, up in the series, and not so much
out of deficit, nice save at the end in that 1v1 situation.
The match is following up.
There's demos off screen and GK get themselves above water, but still need
to make some magic happen with this 90 seconds in Jojo.
And you could always depend on him to deliver.
Yeah, tempo, great setup here too.
So he's reducing on the back wall, instead of going for a double.
Actually, did Redosin get a touch there?
Redosin might have helped him out.
He seemed like he was trying to slow it down,
but I think Redosin might have even touched it on the way through.
The thing is, you can always count on Redosin to give you, you know,
maybe an own goal of series or maybe a pass to the team series and so on.
And that one wasn't even that bad.
So if that's the one you got it out of the way, I mean, that's great news for a K-DOP Corp.
because going forward, they won't have to worry about that.
Hopefully getting dunked though, GK looking a little bit better.
Quickly definitely spent the joy of their game on defense.
We saw, you know, one time they did go on offense getting counterattacked quickly.
So maybe they're getting helped out by getting their rotations compacted here in the blue half.
See, joy of that creator normally can really make stuff happen
but hasn't really been able to today.
Yeah, I think GK just needs to be quicker on those transitions because you can maybe catch
KDC not having someone in the net and usually it's Madozen who's that big pillar that you have to get through
I mean he won that last 1v1 to deny GK's last solid opportunity, but last 30 seconds how it develops
Determined a lot. That's a huge one for Matzer
It just felt like all of GK were there and what happened tempo taps it away
Joy was a little bit off low on boost, but maybe they waited out because they're expecting tempo to make contact
That just didn't seem like that spectacular of an interval to make it past both defenders, Jack, a little bit awkward.
Now KDOPCorp, back in the lead, they have been driving the bus, even when GK had been able to equalize, it's either been, you know, tied or KDOP leading.
I say KDOPCorp, KDOPCorp went on the field. Why do they call themselves KDOPCorp? But either way, they're up 3-2.
Yeah, and you just sometimes need that defensive player on your team and it feels like gk
You're just so desperate for that goal. And sometimes you're just not ready for it
But that's not ready for this, so right with five seconds to spare
I mean, they just been responding. Luckily they're responding in time five seconds left to go
Tempo just camped out at the midfield right for that pass 3-3. We're probably gonna get an overtime here
I'm trying to go over time just quick update their gritty goose has been making work of Magnit go resires having quite a spectacular game of the
Bobba got the go ahead goal there for to make it three to one
They're probably gonna clinch that one up and go to match point. Let's take out the overtime though. GK. Can they utilize?
That's the big thing because if GK go down over to you. I honestly just want to permanently change the channel like I don't
I don't know what's going on!
What do you know about the world of games?
We are so back, we are so back.
We might even be able to still catch the end of the other game!
Nice!
Little scallops kills!
So they have a tempo, they do an overtime, that's the only time they've led.
So it's uh, there's other games running over anyways, but we'll watch it, we'll watch the final 12 seconds.
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad to hear Razir's been doing well.
I feel like Razir is, we need to talk about these guys very much, so I'm gonna, you know, speedrun, everything I have to say about Razir is really right now.
I feel like he had one of those spectacular goals that full air dribble double reset that he's done. I mean, he's always playing super well. He got kind of screwed over by the roster change set up, kind of had to walk back to talks and because I think he was planning on, you know, completely leaving or switching up the team and being like,
because I think he was planning on, you know, completely leaving or switching up the team and being like a toxic
I'd like to keep my RLCS points. Why don't just team again? So it's good to see that's still working out for him
is you're still seems to be playing really well. So I'm excited for him. Yeah
The first goal that game was him. He popped it onto the backboard from kind of in, you know
The front third there and you expect you see his teammate jumping there like he's gonna go further ball
But the defense is so sluggish was yours is oh, you know what? I think I can get near after this and double taps it himself
So great that lots of options in that all and that offensive game there for game number two
They win that one cleanly with the four one and now one win away from punching their ticket to play off Saturday
But if goes got their work cut out for him GK them man tempo bounce them back here. Let me key way
It's not over. Just yeah watch the wave of relief
Cross Jordy's face as I've got their stream up here. Keep an eye on that one as well
Yeah, the beats per minute on the heart, though,
we're going to need a medical check on everybody
very soon in GK.
Their RLCS journey, their lives, it
feels like around the line on this one.
And KDOTCorp are no slouches.
But hey, it's kind of getting exposed,
but it looks like GK got back on their feet,
which isn't inspirational for the start of this game.
Yeah, GK.
I think they had big aspirations that kind of linked in to the last major at EU5.
You know, KC was able to win that extra spot for Europe,
and Europe was always kind of needed that extra spot when it comes to how many teams are able to compete there,
but big aspirations for this GK squad, so I think that just making it in and kind of sneaking in was not their gameplay.
They were hoping to have an even better squad, not only to compete at majors, but, you know, to push even further.
instead they find themselves back again fighting for the lives just you know hoping to sneak
in to the team.
Yeah KDOTC snuck into the playoffs last region and could have had a big run if it wasn't
for that that nasty game 7 that was such a nail bite against man city where you had a
bunch of over times or a bunch of zero cold games and answers back and forth it was not
clear who was going to come out of that series but KDOTC that journey has to start here and
GK get ahead of it.
Yeah, great shot.
I mean, this follow-up from tempo
was the angle that I thought was impossible.
We almost found it.
But created a bit of panic there.
And Joyo, an opportunity to slot a shot.
I mean, that was not free.
He didn't need to put it right there in that corner when he did.
GK, this is the first time leading, you know,
during the actual clock time, not just overtime.
So they're turning it around.
And Joyo has been that top off player this Friday,
At least consistently.
A lot of these flashy goals, the nice setups.
Like, feels like he's been the real hope
and the real spark plug to this GK team.
And look at this pass and that,
he just breaks it up just in time.
Uh-oh.
You know, there's too much musty for one team.
Joyo loves to launch his musty flicks.
And he's one of the players who do it, you know,
more than anyone else, but then they add a tempo
and he loves them too.
So this is just too much musty flick for one team.
I don't know how Jacks are, to be honest.
But tempo used to have him with that Dominus.
Oh my goodness.
He could rip them and turns out he can still do it on clinic as well.
He didn't get anything out of it.
Joyo has to go from the ground to the ceiling and reset and everything and help a homeless creep spy with a nice double opportunity.
And it's recovered by KDC, so GK cannot afford this. They just need to stay ahead.
because like I said earlier, it's really tough to come back from that deficit
or from the G cage because, oh, can you see their defense can be so strong,
but so up there, oh my God.
Matt, sir, welcome to the lobby.
My goodness, passed through himself off the ceiling to the backboard.
And you got Alpha 54 to finish it for you on your team.
You can trust in that.
My goodness.
Scary stuff.
Both these teams have been so neck and neck.
this series so far no real lead now we did go to overtime I believe not first one
oh almost did 1-0 but this is gonna be a scary one as we'll see the gk can have a more structured
defense and with that demo you're already kind of losing a lot of the options no off the pose off
the corner yeah Joyo got a demo and I didn't think actually I was gonna maybe chase down another one
and continued down the second one, might have been free.
But it turns out in that 1v1, Temple found a way
or almost found a way through.
I guess he didn't score it.
But man, that flick was saucy.
Trying to capitalize.
GK looking so much better.
I mean, now we're seeing shot opportunities.
It feels like this series started so slow.
I mean, it was just a ton of nothingness in game one
after that first goal.
And now we're actually seeing scoring opportunities
both ways, a little bit peak plays.
I don't know if there's nerves in this kind of situation,
maybe because of the context.
but you think most of these guys have been playing in RLCS for a long time.
Maybe the threat of elimination, though, gets them just a little bit worried.
They're in it now, and I'm excited to see what they have in store next.
It just hasn't been a real threatening offense from KDC.
They've been good at slowing down GK when they're ramping up,
but not able to clean any good scoring opportunities themselves.
That's just because GK have been rotating in there on time,
But even with the 2-1-1 almost from KDC, it still wasn't enough.
Be clear.
What can they do with this?
We saw passing plays, similarly off of kickoff.
They're doing a great job of playing in between each other,
but ultimately the final touch just ends it up.
We have a spicy match on our hands, but I must admit,
I'm interested about Green Goose and Magnifico.
It has been a close one.
It was a great stylish just Dustin of the defense by Rezears early on in the game to get a 1-0 leave
But Eugen just put on the backboard land on the backboard jumped off
Kind of a Zen style goal to tie things up 50 seconds left
Okay, so it's 1-1 over there as well it is 1-1 yeah, oh
You just always had that pop-up potential, but we'll lock back in 30 seconds here
GK and K. I've got Matt's we're putting off the ceiling. She could be a good pass
But everybody back for GK.
Oh, what a topic scores.
That is a 2-1 lead now.
Magnifico, hold on, 30 seconds left.
Alright, that's your last chance.
And Teffo's off the ceiling trying to get this away from him,
but now you got GK panicking, thankfully for them.
It's reset back to a kickoff, but it is overtime.
I've seen GK lose a kickoff straight into the net,
straight into the net and then they also won their last OT on the media kickoff.
So I've seen him go both ways. It's going to be a bit more neutral it would seem.
I should still GK possession. Tempo creeped up a little bit too far. He
should have been able to stop that if he was positioned correctly. But instead
he's gonna get himself demoed and go let K-DopCorp go the other way.
Hopefully doing a ton of creation but team wasn't believing in him. Nobody there
trying to help him finish it. I like KTC going for demos as well while rotating
back towards the net because you don't want to just have one side of demo game
because GK we're just ramping up off of that but Joyo was trying to just
cleanly transition and KDCR just hounding him but Aftax got so much free
aerial space to you but and you have Matthew stepping up and reflecting all
of that so it's pretty tied up between these two teams in terms of
opportunities. Tempo for the Viscari should be you know easy for him but he
hit the ground pinch just one to keep it away after they go low I love to see
Temple in the air so low around one ceiling come on make me ride to Bovertos
and able to sneak in and take it away just didn't keep that close enough to
maintain full control it's like pretty use not getting their sweep over there
must have held on you know as a yeah two ones the one goal from atomic was
enough to go ahead holds on another game four I'm dead yet how long will this
over time go because the GK had that one almost five minute OT against Gritty
Goose in their very first match so GK got a lot of resilience to them when it
comes to OT. They just love Rocket League, they're just trying to play extra. Yeah.
Hey, needed a united effort on defense there but hey the defense room GK didn't
get tested too much.
Looks like Baxter is able to get away
from the wasps of GK, another United effort from GK,
but almost like Gap left behind.
Yeah, it was a bump of times, being able to rotate back in.
It's always interesting to see how teams
attack whenever there is a big space available for them.
Everybody's back on their own half.
One team has possession.
How do they decide to try and lock it up?
And I've seen some good get-up court passing plays
so far when they've been in that spot.
I feel like we're actually seeing them in that spot more often than GK, for whatever
reason.
They find themselves in possession when play settles down more often, and now GK is just
kind of scrambling on their net to try and eventually escape this.
They all seem to have boosted.
This could be difficult.
Tempo didn't make the save.
Jack trying to pass in the build finds K-Drop wharf instead.
And GK are able to take a lot of boost from their opponent's side, but still able to maintain
a strong defense.
Now, three minutes into OG, I wonder if GK beat their almost five minute record, but
who's gonna come out on top, KDC looking real scary, but then Droyo just sails by that fast.
Oh, that was a way to...
It's great up, you have just probably an unlucky bounce.
If you get up, you want to go in straight ceiling
and then out, but fortunate for GK,
who spent the majority of the OT on defense,
great shot though, Jack will do it, and they win OT again.
Out of time, not breaking that four minute record.
Again, Joyo is always part of the equation
and that bumps the free up the net,
even with two others in the net.
GK, it's the teamwork that makes the dream work
and their dream is still to make Paris
and that's still on the line, of course,
and we'll go and check in with Gritty Goose and Magnifico.
Did we miss anything, Wave?
Just a one goal that went in Magnifico
with a defensive lap to the corner
and Tox immediately capitalizes there.
So it's been a few defensive mistakes,
a few forced by Gritty Goose over the course of this series,
but generally it's been a Magnifico's match to lose
and they have been losing it.
So can Gritty Goose continue to put the pressure on?
Well, I'm excited to see.
We haven't really got to step in at all, the Vaba.
Ooh, Resirons quite has, you know, yeah.
I mean, there's really, he's just trying to keep this in play.
If he lets Mnivko touch it,
they'll probably gonna clear it out.
So just send it to the ceiling for his own team.
Yeah, Magnifico having to come back from an O2 star.
Well, you know, every reverse sweep starts from an O2 spot.
But you're just feeling like you're on the edge of being out of the tournament at all
times, which is pretty mentally crumbling when you have people like Atomic who haven't
really missed the main event in years.
At least that's what he said about the last regional when they missed.
And it was by like one match, so it just sucks to be that close and just have one game or
one series not go your way.
And this one is certainly not going Magnifico's way.
They got to come back in two minutes.
Ooh, I want a fusion kick that puts it on target.
That was maybe a chance nobody was home.
And it felt like if you can hit the post,
you probably could have changed it slightly enough to get it in.
And who knows, might be one of their last scoring opportunities.
If greedy goose are able to just lock it down and turn it back up,
although it doesn't seem like that's what they're trying to do.
Spabamba try to pull off for a 50.
They are on offense now.
Sometimes that's the best way to guarantee
you don't get scored on, but Atomic clearing it straight down side wall, easy position
to create some kind of, in fact, it's going to be Goose right back the other way.
I was like, really Goose, really Goose.
Yeah, and Bababa and Tox are working really well on the front lines, and it's just a
fluid team.
Like you point out, Razir's and Tox just looking for that prodigy, that mechanical third.
They've really found in Bababa, and this is already a, I would say a better regional
compared to the previous one when they were known as TRB, you know, putting their names
on the line and now something more, more loose, more fun.
I like it.
It's a nice logo as well.
I had to zoom in, but if you can't tell, there's a little goose in there in that finnick driving
the car.
The 30 seconds sent a big moments.
A birth into the top eight here and seemingly, you know, in pretty strong fashion, it sounds
like maybe a huge peak led to a game win for Magnifico Atomic though.
Oh, great double and it's all tied up.
Oh my god, a topic makes it happen.
This is so gross, too.
I mean, we're waiting to see a pop-off moment from him,
because you know how much this means to him.
And he's got some, you know, two young prodigies with him.
We'll see when that prodigy clock expires,
as we were giggling about in the creed.
And just, how many more chances are you
going to get to really prove that you're on the come up?
and this has got to be the roster for people like Eugene and Niko.
Yeah, for sure.
Tomic's been doing it a long time.
Now it's 1-1.
Niko trying to create something everybody is camped in that,
though, for great use.
Zero seconds seems like the last opportunity
will be Magnifico's pass up the ceiling.
Tomic's actually keeps it high, which I'm not sure
it's going to pay out for him.
It's going to pay out for nobody, as it'll hit ground.
See if anybody had anything nifty in store for the kickoff.
No, actually, a perfectly mirrored kickoff.
We're getting tootsie.
Montza's having a great game right now.
He went through the corner to pump.
On goal number one, he dribbles a player in the corner
and then left the ball in the corner to go pump the goalie
on the way, making an easy goal for Rato.
So, kickcorp.
Doing well.
I'm trying to go for a solo play there again, like he's like, wait, I'll let me cook, and I'm down for that.
That's over the top, it is!
Not down for that.
No, it's over.
Yeah, it's over.
Just like that.
Riddigoose, congratulations on the top eight.
We'll see you to play tomorrow.
Another main event missed for Atomic, not Acronic.
Amiko's old teammate, Akronik, but I wonder if he mixes it up, but I already messed it up.
But let's focus on this match, and if GK don't mess up this lead,
they should have a whole second half to figure it out, though.
GK seemingly want to go this since they went to Game 5 against KDAPCorp.
Last time around, unfortunately, missed the peeking for Matzor.
One of their previous goals was also a really great play for Matzor,
And that's what you expect to get.
Or that's what you hope to get.
You can expect to get consistency out of Alpha and Radosin.
They are such known quantities.
I think they're going to be less based in any moment.
But you bring on somebody to give you this arc.
Oh, whoo!
And that's who's been there.
DK are able to get back in time.
It is very stressful to watch DK play big defense though.
It's like they're playing catch up a bit.
Oh my goodness.
Uh-oh.
even that one was really scary
it just got so much control right now
the Mets are like this maybe feels like an exaggeration but he's reminding me of Nassav Boster
in this game he's just wow there's a ball and getting excited to watch what he does and he's
being creative he's the defense is matching him at this moment but still they're forcing strong
Long plays out of the blue.
Good save from Boston Nass on K-Dub Corp.
This might be a goal.
The reset.
Oh, well done, tempo.
Hey, I didn't see these first couple goals,
but I saw Nass in Boston.
So I'm on the train now.
If you're telling me Matt's just playing like Nass in Boston,
I'm ready to see what you got in store.
This is getting fast.
Like the ball going from one side of the field
to the other, and it's set it up to the team.
And now it's going back to the orange half.
40 seconds. KDC just have to not choke.
But surely that's possible.
Think they've got it.
I don't know if I'm going to see two goals here.
This is too much of midfield play.
You need a scoring chance to actually be getting created
by this time on the clock.
Because you're going to need another one as well.
Instead, it's just K-dot-4.
Down to just take air dribbles across the field,
get a 50 rotate back, do it again.
They'll do it as many times they need to just to delay out this game.
Matt Serr is not even going to be able to try and follow it up to get the boost to do so.
But K-DopCorp, they are really going to put the nerves on GK because, I mean, it's kind of like,
is it season on the line for these guys?
I think Lemmy Keeley used to be fully locked in on world's chances and stuff.
If they don't make it to Paris, but it seems like they need to win this next game.
Yeah, I think it's like, general maids were in that same boat, but because they won the Boston Major,
They got a lot of points from that.
So they're chill for worlds, but GK not so much.
So this game five is going to be intense wave.
It's going to be an intense one.
And of course, like it's the last match of Group A for Friday.
You got to go to Champions field.
We got to go the whole distance to see who's going to pop off.
Who steps up in this moment?
Do we see old Joyo?
You never want to play Joyo on Champions field.
And so they've committed the Cardinal sin of taking him to there.
But still, I want a team of Rato, Alfa, and Matzler.
Well, we like to meme on Rado a lot in this community here, fear, but he's an incompletely
very skilled player. He's a world champion player. Matzo is definitely the player that
you look at and say, that's the guy I want to see pop off. So the fact that he's having
a series right now is such good news for KDOPCorp fans.
Oh, definitely. I mean, Radosan, Radosan is, you know, we mess with him, but he's so good.
I mean, he's crazy good. He's almost vitality teams. I feel like there's kind of almost
and he's been on so he can definitely step to the plate album 54. You know, I just don't know what to expect fully yet from him being back. But if Masters playing a good game, that's all I would imagine KDAPCorp winning is if you told me, Hey,
He was the best player for his team, and I'd say that's probably a win for KF4.
Yeah, and at least if you watched Alpha in the last regional, you're like, Alpha is so back.
It's like he never left, and that is great.
And the script writers went crazy with this one.
We have a game five between GK and KDC, which is the same kind of game five situation that we had at the last regional,
which costed GK not go their way.
their way so maybe the script the the narrative will be rewritten here for gk if they can
pull this off oh that's what we lived in the future to exactly where he's going
i'm sure he has been the one that's trying to get good beats and be that opportunity creator
and even that bump was nice
I think I'm going to be able to do that.
Okay?
Couple match fifties.
Was he going to get the sweet bounce?
No, I did.
But Joio knew. He was up high anyways.
That's a better bounce.
Oh, that shot was...
Not the best shot I've ever seen.
It's real. You're so real.
Joio!
We had just been typing up her noses, so I, you know...
Joyo, we had just been typing up her noses, so I, you know.
Hey, are you just able to just park this? How does that not go in?
He's got space. And some doors.
Tempo.
Oh, I'll put the bomb. Someone follow him.
Oh, her noses.
I did not let that touch.
Yeah.
I feel like it was scary for GK, and then that one touch was like, oh, good boy.
I wanted the crossbar hit sound on his touch
The game just recognizes when you make a bad one
Everybody knows but I like produced in more defensively anyway like last regional use making these crazy goal line saves
Well the post had it coming
Wow, they had all those such a solid pass play to get around Matta and then
The shot wasn't there
All teams have kind of like accuracy issues. That's when the pressure is really getting you
Champions still to do that to you
That's just gonna get you in the air
Jack slowed to it
demoed
Getting a little bit scary here decent 50
They want it to be strong enough such a pinch my goodness
Helped him out a lot, but
Can't have a corporate chance, the Redosin is trying to make something happen and then he bumped everybody!
Oh no!
Great!
Ah, joyous!
I'll enjoy those airs!
Oh...
My god, we found somebody close calls, how is this still 0-0?
I can't even believe it.
Just had five people stacked in the net like that, but...
Yeah, Redosin's gonna take over, and he's trying for some redemption, at least on offense, but...
immediately loses it.
He's still getting called off, but Matzir is really believing in his play coming out.
Ooh, that easy dunk there.
It's been a get up for offense this whole time.
That dunk could be a change of ties unless Matzir is just going to get a double reset
to put his team back in the attacking corner.
This is an easier handle possession for tempo who is going to get undercut so he can't pass with Austin being a past
He saw I'm trying to bump people earlier in that but now he's doing it over on his have to
And Katie Sierra provides a lot more on demos earlier
But wants to now focus in on just clean play as a team and just rotating where you need to be because you do not want to
Get exposed at any moment those in trying to set up and help us they hit the brakes to catch up
have
to care slowly working out of their half year
for sure we saw we saw a lot more scoring chances of a game one and it felt like a school this game for you know
the majority of it you know there was that early goal but there was never even a chance now there's been tons of opportunities
this could very easily not be 0-0 could be a couple goals on both sides
I'm so glad to see K-Dropport, except for right now.
GK with their opportunity, that pass it goes to nobody.
It's only K-Dropport there, so we're
resetting back to blue half.
Well, if this goes to OT, then we're
really going to need a heart monitor check.
OT is a big, big, big GK.
He feels good, at least, by going to OT.
He goes there.
Oh, my god.
I
Kicked off Wow double double cheetah from tempo and joyo I believe on GK and they got a heavy touch but to the corner
A better shot and it's over
Many times
Oh my god, if that just got one thing.
Oh, they're in some bump joyo with the breakaway.
Oh, this is stressful. KDC is just right on the edge.
Can they get it done? GK fighting for their lives here.
They're feeling the pressure. They're barely leaving their half
until they have control of the situation.
Now you got to double-combat all of the shambles.
Touch from JOLO, I hope it's going to be enough.
They're in trouble right now. They're all low boosts.
They had that one back corner though, they're gonna pick up some still.
I mean, this is how it's been for her, it feels like the majority of the game,
we can't, of course, we can't finish it, it's gotta be it!
Sredosin and K.4 advanced the top eights.
Oh, I don't even know what to say, that is just so, so sad for GK,
because they have such talent on their team, they have everyone,
the players that can play all the roles, but this is now a second back-to-back playoff miss,
which is probably going to ruin their chances of getting to Paris.
And now their fate is in Manchester City's hands and math.
People can figure it out, but that's really sad.
What a series. I was I was locked for that game five.
That was one of the most thrilling zero zero games I've seen in a long time here.
Fear back and forth.
There's something to be said about games that are like
where like a lot of little tiny mistakes keep getting made, but there's just so thrilled.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's tons of opportunities.
So many post hits.
These guys really brought it down to the wire.
And unfortunately, I think it's a kind of series
that both teams are going to look back and feel like they
probably could have played it better.
I mean, GK are going to be bummed with their results
no matter what.
But it'd be a different thing if it seemed like both teams
were firing on all cylinders and they just barely lost.
It felt like both teams could probably feel like they could
have played a better series.
And so that's unfortunate for KDC because they're going to
come out with the win and forget it and don't play tomorrow.
GK though, I have to think about it a little bit longer.
is I think they probably got to be just about fully out.
I haven't done the crazy stats math,
but they're going to need probably to just win,
I would imagine, if they wanted to try and make it in.
I guess five spots might help them, but still.
Yeah, and you were right that both teams suffered
with the placement of the shots.
And then I feel like GK just played so terrifying.
Joya was the one that felt like that was the one driving
downfield, the one trying to get beats
and really risking it for the best skid.
and they come out with the same script ending
as the last time they faced K.DotCorp,
which was a game five loss,
and K.DotCorp will be in playoffs
in that lower bracket side,
where they want a deeper run
than that game seven loss to Man City in last regional.
For the first few games,
I thought we were watching
Razir's highlight reel.
Not just the game recap,
Razir's was absolutely kicking,
Tux got that final goal,
but my goodness,
what a series for Razir
to get them those two early wins and then ultimately the team able to finish it off.
So Gritty Goose advancing there are your four teams out of this side of the brackets.
Gentlemates whip. I think there are a bit of a surprise here probably coming through uppers
that they took advantage of what might have been a softer little quadrant there and then
Gritty Goose and gate up. Yeah. If you were to you to draw it up just on name value alone,
I think you'd put Magnifico and GK into the top four here out of group A, but no,
they will both miss well done and well earned opportunities from those top four teams. That's
group A done for the day and done for the season. Honestly, we're not going to see that specific
group A ever again. Let's talk about group B. This action still all to unfold today. We will play
those upper quarter final matches next. We'll then do the upper semis and lower quarter finals and
finish off the day with those two lower semi-final same schedules we saw for group A and lots of
fun matches to talk about here. Lemon Kiwi, lots of big teams up for grabs and looking for
for those top four spots. Yeah, this is I think going to be a really hectic
bracket because KLG versus K Corp. I mean, KLG upset some big teams last time.
I believe even GK to knock them out at the time. I know we keep bringing up
GK. I'm sorry. And then you have GHT, which I think is that Italian team
going up against the all French team. We are pretty familiar with NIP and
tone the whole AK inner circle, which impressed a lot of people squeaking in
some game fives towards the end of the group stage last regional and a big
welcome to era who or era, whatever we want to say. What's there who missed
out on the last regional just by or the last group stage last regional by just
one match. So excited to see how they're going to do. We'll see all that and more
here after the break folks. First up away when we come back to RLCS continues
here for open number five. Here's the other broadcasts. You can catch all
the other streams. You can catch this broadcast on if you want to watch a
specific teams run.
But we'll be back with more coverage with RLCS after this.
Oh, no, this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
Valets can be a big test for a young homeowner
turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full, they'd go to the overflow lot.
I heard a mouse right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming a parent's but we can't protect your home and auto when you bundle with us
You might have brought the wrong car. We had the red convertible
Let's go out of the car
Let's go out of the car
Into the light now
Let's go out of the car
Out of the car
So I don't know, so I don't know
Shouldn't do the like now
You're lost in the sound, so back to the start
They've sent four teams through to playoff Saturday and there's four spots left in the
main event bracket.
We're going to find them here in group B. Eight teams on the board.
H4 gets a play for the title of European regional champion here for book the number five everything here on the road to Paris and further
On that road to world championship. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm excited for it
I hope you guys are ready for it too. We got gives a CJ back in the booth
This this is this is the big dogs a lot of big dogs. Yeah, gonna be gonna be playing
There's a big dogs
There's a lot of small dogs too, but we've seen on European Fridays that the small dogs have their day
We just saw it too with KDOT Corp. It wasn't a fluke. They do the twice versus GK in both tournaments
So we'll see if any of these small dogs have any bite in them CJ
Mmm, it's not about the size of the dog in the five-way fungus about the size of the fight in the dog
And we saw that with KDOT Corp in group A group B is gonna be just as exciting you won't just you
Well, I think I think there's a there's this is the day when you have them as it feels
it's the most likely to have crazy upsets, right?
Because there's the biggest kind of disparity
in how we rate the power rankings of the teams that
are competing.
So this group B, this first round of matches,
oh my goodness, if one of the teams on the bottom beats
the team on the top, what a story it is.
And it puts everything into chaos.
So keep your screens locked right here.
We're going to keep all four matches coming for you.
GHD can be taken on Vitality.
Ninja Zipajama is taken on Toad.
And the whole Caligarra is taken on Carmen Corfa
battle of the case there and era taken on banchester city gives is one of these
matches the most exciting to you I feel like you have to watch for towing the
whole day you know how the top six last time around playing against ninjas and
pajamas who have been known to be hot and cold at times so I think if there's
any upset it'd be towing the whole over ninjas but I'm feeling chalky today I'm
feeling chalky I'm feeling boring CJ like as we talked about earlier you know so
So I think we're gonna get the top four dogs all doing pretty well here.
No, it's my job to get you out of this boring, boring hole that you found yourself in.
You're in a rut at the moment, Gibbs.
I'm gonna get by you up.
I think we're gonna get an upset if we get one upset and I'm not saying that we want
an upset.
We obviously want the best teams in it.
But if we do wave, one of these top four teams is not making it through.
It's that simple.
That's how important this first round is.
We're okay.
Can we all put our pride on the line?
Which of the top four teams?
karmic core vitality and ninja pajamas is not making out of this group.
If I make out of the group, this doesn't matter, right?
So that's true. OK.
OK. Doesn't make it.
Which one's the one that doesn't make it?
Well, look, I'll go first.
Now, I did read that this that ninjas in pajamas had some layoffs or something
that cleared out the suite in office.
I think they're bootcamping in the suite in office.
So I'm worried.
I'm worried that there's no one there
and maybe they're going to kick down this construction workers around them
or something like that.
So I think the ninjas aren't having the ideal prep wave.
They might not make it out.
Okay.
I feel like there's been a team that's been very lucky for a long time and they barely
squeak through.
And that is, you know, this team called K-Corp, you know, Carmine Corp.
I feel like now it's time for them, like it's their do, to finally lose one of these game
fives.
I feel like they've been pushing very hard and they keep winning in five.
For some reason, they just haven't looked like the same team, but like Ato has looked
normal, has looked mediocre at times, I'll even say.
So if there is a team, it'd be K-Corp, but I wouldn't bet on that.
I mean, you heard it here, folks.
Gibbs is betting that K-Corp is going to be out.
It's crazy to say it loud.
It's been a game.
I feel like when you say it like, when you say it like, this is crazy.
The lower bracket, and they cause chaos down there, and they barely squeak through, alright?
Maybe it's finally time that they go down to a lower bracket and then completely fall
apart.
Maybe this is hard.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
the fact that the worst team out of the top four is Man City and we haven't
predicted them. Are we not putting any respect on Iraq? Yeah, no, because here's
the thing, here's the thing. Vitality is coming in as regional major champions,
which seems to be more of a curse these days than anything else. If any team
are not made out of the group B, it's obviously the rain. Rachel James Vitality,
which means according to the three Rocket League experts, Man City guaranteed a
top eight. Yeah, well, congrats. Performance here in open number five.
that. Congrats. But again,
important because if any o
like say three out of four
the lower bracket that lo
be versus two of these te
these teams will very lik
So it is very important f
who all got top four last
round one to avoid one an
we'll see which teams are
do all four get the win earned that they get they got two
opportunities to win it there because the ball four of them
win and obviously they'll play each other there in the next
round. We'll see how it goes. It's going to be a lot of fun.
I'm excited to get into the match as long as we think is
going to be the team that misses out in the chat. We'll pull it.
We'll take a look take a look at how chat feels about it as the
teams are getting ready to get on the pitch. Take a look at the
streams. They're looking they're looking good. So we should be
getting the game started here momentarily CJ. Yeah, I like the
this group, there is no easier quadrant. I think we saw in the previous group that we had that with
Magnifico side of things where we're kind of thinking, okay, how do we have, you know, GK
generalmates going out? Well, it turns out GK weren't that cool, but I like this. It's a competitive
group. When we get an upset, easy question wave. Will we get an upset? I'm hopeful for it. I'm excited.
So we'll be watching all four streams. We'll be focused on one and I'll keep you guys updated on
how the other three matches are going. If an upset starts to evolve, we will hop over there and watch
the destruction unfold live for your viewing entertainment here.
Groupie, underway, you want to start things off with Toadnip?
Yeah, there maybe.
Yeah, I'll just do it.
Oh, we almost got a goal immediately by Ninjas and Majanus, but.
We're going to see, and CJ, I'm a company man.
So keep one, presented by progressive.
Let's get it going.
And the company loves you, give my goodness.
This is the match, though, surely.
Toadnall, go talk about performance last time.
They they're doing a rebrand.
They're going crazy.
once again another team that maybe it's a placebo thing in EU you have to change it your team name every you know against stale
You might not perform, but if you don't want to make a roster move
That's the only other thing that you can do like more fire to coach or something I guess but yeah
It's about it
You know a little bit crazy. I guess like that the total in the hole
They were three two that went to around five of the Swiss they did get to it by GK
They also lost two K. Dot cop not to two pretty good losses
As long as K. Dot cop did make through the top eight. So they're a chance here
They're in, well, I was going to say they're a chance,
and I just let that ball roll in.
Jarius, the great one, first goal.
Yeah, based on our camera angle, we're like, OK,
this is not going in.
But who's greater than ball?
I don't know who that third man was,
but he decided to go in the back corner for the boost,
instead of protecting his net, and then just get a freebie.
Mm, go off the little motion force.
They're triple, I believe they're three.
They're triple threat, he's out in the hole.
They actually, with Andy coaching,
it's just a four man English team.
We are seeing some more English teams, obviously,
the GK fellows as well.
Unfortunately, they won't be here until 4-5.
They'll need a big open 6, but this is in a strong start here for NIP.
I feel like they're consistently inconsistent,
but I don't know if that's just a narrative that I have around Ninjas,
or they're more consistent than I'm getting credit for.
You know, they got top 2 in the previous ventures,
but I feel like they're still a team that could lose them any month.
Yeah, but I feel like we've had this argument before,
where you're like, I really like this team, and I'm like,
eh, they're just too inconsistent for me, but again,
only top two is fantastic kind of fell apart like in that finals though so we'll see if they can bounce back from that but still top
two is top two in Europe is absolutely huge obviously have tons of points here so if they make top eight they'll be looking very good to go to Paris
Yeah, and as we saw in group A it's tough to even make the top eight let alone a grand final here in Europe
So a good start and it just gives you it gives you a little bit of breathing room
Which is which is important, but we just you don't really know at this point
the exact points that will be required for a top five spot.
But right now, it can't do much better than,
well, you can do a little bit better than the top two.
You can beat Vitality and the Grand Final,
but not many teams are looking like
they're gonna be able to take them down.
And so far, it's good starting here for Ninjas,
but they need to be careful.
Motion is starting to slice and dice through that deep.
So before we get updates from Wavefront,
so soon those will be coming soon.
Yes. I want some numbers.
I'm listening.
So from you guys, I wanted over under four and a half games
for the small dogs in this round.
Like, will they win four and a half individual games?
I'm gonna go with the Unokai.
I think it's gonna be kind of a blow up
across round one.
Yeah, what's wrong with you today, Garen?
You won't be boring, Garen.
I want you to care.
I want good, Rock.
I want the favorites to win.
So I'm going with the Unokai.
I'll take the Overdose for the fall.
I'll take the Unokai as well.
None of them go to Champions Field, basically,
what you're saying?
Well, there could be one go to Champions Field,
and the rest are sweeps, and that's the long game.
CJ, before you give your number,
I'll tell you, Call of Duty is up to 1-0 versus 1-0.
Give me five games.
Sorry, I don't know.
All right, five games from the small dogs.
OK, so they put five individual games.
OK.
I'll believe the season.
OK.
But I think one series could be close,
but I think some of the others might just
turn into a 3-0 sweep.
So we'll see you, though.
They're top four for a reason to Europe, but we all know.
They have depth in CRR, downfield.
I'm changing the shot.
I'm changing the four games up to that.
Look at the little pop reset catch downfield radar egg. That's beautiful. I think I've seen what I need to see here.
Can I check that little offset game?
We want to take out Caligares. Scarmacore is still up with a minute and 30 left to go.
Vitaly did just score against GHT.
And Manson is making quick work up here at Esports.
Seizen, driving the Roadhog, always notable anytime somebody drives anything other than Dominus, Fennec, or Octane, specific to those last two.
But we'll see here if they can keep it going.
Yeah, it helps.
Who are you after?
I'm gonna try it out.
Oh, just, I think we cursed them.
We, we, I mean, did they want it to sneak a little game on Windows, streaming and Cali Gears?
I mean, we put the spotlight on them, and once again, the lots which we brought.
Is that what just happened?
So this is a classic though, like Gibbs is always right.
Because I picked K-Corp to lose, it was kind of garrulous.
But I also picked the under on the small dogs game.
So either way, I'm going to win somewhere here.
Like, you're thinking of something at least.
Do you always just mention yourself in third person?
Is that?
Yeah, my wife went in a little hot, but, you know, like,
Gibbs is hungry.
Well, it's strange if you went without the whole day
through the household.
But, you know, she wakes her own.
You are a legend.
I'm a concept machine, but this is what I do, all right?
Partially, I say GIFs is a concept machine.
Yeah, I'm a GIF concept machine, and everyone agrees.
We'll see if Cali Gears can steal this fly.
Have you had a look?
What was the first call, by the way?
Did you catch?
I did not catch that.
I looked up and it was already in,
so then they scrolled pretty fast.
Oh, early, OK.
OK.
Interesting.
Well, actually, all the other games, my prediction
that we're going to get five games out of the interdogs
is looking bad here in round number one,
as the zombies are up for a man cities of three one by tallies of two oh so this is the only
close we need this we need this video this video the five gamers we need to
we could get another time at least it should be also I mean a crimson one
Miller boost. That's a cursed item. I love that wave. I notice he's first. Look at this
movie. What does that tell you? Oh, I thought I see him. He's cutting some grass over there.
He's cutting some shapes in this KC defense in this overtime, but it does look like KC's
it's warmed up. At least from what we've seen so far, there's the bomb coming through. Juicy.
Just makes it work. Yeah, they collapsed. Now we're in a little bit of trouble. This could just
Just be the dominant for this is the big dogs day for around one.
I guess I guess on the bomb production.
I guess we head over and watch your versus man cities.
If you can catch the road hot on stream before size.
Yeah, inevitably changes cars here after they came body.
They can get number one.
There it is.
Look at it.
Enjoy it.
It's really ugly brown as well.
It's a truck just so heavy.
Doesn't that I mean, if my team and he's right.
This is the attachee channel lettering and look at him.
he's not playing, he's watching.
So I just think it's a bad sign if you're rocking the road
off for the future of your career,
but 80 is a beauty to see on the field.
Just not if I was playing on the same team as it.
That's it though.
They were like one of those teams where everyone's like,
all right, you barely missed out top five last time.
Now there's a roster move and everyone's like,
all right, do they fall short or do they bounce back?
And right now they've looked fantastic.
They look like a top four team.
And what do top four teams do?
They blow out their opposition when it's a team that is less than them, I would say.
Man City, great game one-way.
Yeah, yeah.
And we did say they were the guaranteed in top four team and they put up the most goals
of any team in game number one here for round one, so.
It's a ball.
Also, it gives me the casey, the likely likely team that drops down and they were the closest
team in there.
They were close match.
You know, they were the closest though.
we actually know what we're talking about.
Sometimes, sometimes, 10% of it down gives us right of it down.
Oh yeah, let's go.
We shouldn't have lived that 10% of life.
Yeah, it's a strong 10. It's a strong 10.
It's a really strong 10.
If you get into games through your cheetah vitality,
I mean what a performance from these guys, you know,
even for ever since I decided to put Zen 25.
And can the French people stop DMing me every time
Zen clips and saying this is this is on you. Thanks for that. Thanks for motivating him because he is one of the best
plan love and I think you're back to that I
Believe I tell you have cell one
23 games in a row
From open four and five
Which is on the photo that is especially in Europe out of all region to I believe it's 23 of it won the last 13 in a row
in open four, then they went 9-0 in Swiss, so it'd be 22, and then 23 was game one. So yeah, 23 in a row, going for the 24th here.
Wow. Then, looks like he's a fan of the Octane as well. I mean, look at this double reset into a bomb, and can I be exotic, actually?
Can you just look into this team in this situation? You just look at how easy this is. Just net cleared.
Feel pretty tough that one. Why are you not skill-scoring that?
Yeah, this is
It's a pretty simple one. Honestly, I'm not a person. People looking at all their games going on.
The overdog, the big dog on the field, is in the other teams half on every single game right now.
But they are winning in all of them as well. Karmyn Kors already scored, NIP's already scored. Koryn redirects there.
It's not going well for the underdogs then.
No
So it gives you one of those so this is gives it all to everyone if you want an exciting first round
I get paid by the day not by the hour
Okay, so I put myself on the ground where I thought you'd be all the O's and look at this. Here we go. Here we go again
Zen is just you know, like we always talk about him
We always credit him for so long being one of the greatest players in Robin League and
Lately over these last two years that hasn't been pretty now
Now they finally get unlocked again that they make a grandfile Zed a major, now they win
it open.
And it's like, oh yeah Zed has always been this good and we all do this, but every casual
audience was like, Zed gets too much credit.
But when you see him on a team that begins to win again, when his teammates are playing
up to par with Zed, you can see why Zed is one of the best in the world, if not the best.
Could be the best in the world.
Sizing in the Roadhog, he did not switch off and he did score.
I don't know man city in game 2
Huge for the variety and I like anymore. It's now tied after a woman
Wow well, we'll see if the roadhog can really clutch up
I think it's a car that needs to take a little you know a couple games to get going as well. It's just a warm up
The hog
What to say is it's in some greaties over easy tip to 25 in the world, but he probably is back the number one based on that first event
You just need a motivation here.
You guys want to see one of the 1-0 games?
Yeah, we got... the year is tied up.
We go... Ninja's the pajamas of the toad. It's a 1-0 game.
It's probably the man city year up.
Yeah.
Make it our first offset.
As well. That's the closest one.
Having a shot at it. Man City.
Take us in there.
Nice.
I swear, Waypuck is, as the keys, um, controlling everything, so if you're not happy with the
match, please direct, uh, I like the responsibility, I just talk.
I feel like you're in control, though, and you're doing a fantastic job.
That is so far.
It's an illusion of broadcast production.
Oh, he's a team.
Well, right now, Gera, they're giving us the illusion that they might be a strong team.
Yeah, halfway through, 1-1 here, we're starting to see Mancini picking up on the up and side,
another passing plate coming out, but intercepted.
Mancini will control it pretty comfortably on their side of the field, but as the time
takes down, better and better for the underdogs near.
Yeah, so GTO is just tough work to get that roadhog anywhere near the ceiling, you can
see so I was just struggling there, I used twice as much boost as a normal car.
I feel like we see this a lot to be honest with the roster moves of the team, you know,
a player that's on the outer, they get kicked or out of favor then really perform early
on with the new roster.
I think you remember seeing with Chronic from the Ultimate skips going to the State Station
of Performing earlier.
I just think you get that motivation, you know, you get kicked off, you want to prove
yourself that you weren't the reason why the previous team was on a Performing.
I think Sanchez so far, he's well clearly outperforming his old team.
Yeah, they're top four right now, if they make top eight here,
they're going to be looking pretty comfortable for one of those top five spots.
So, see if they can continue.
Get your teeth down here, though, and like you're just hanging on right now.
There's been pretty much no action.
It's just going back and forth midfield game.
There's a musty attempt here, but we'll be turned away pretty easily.
So no quality score chances over these last two minutes, I would say.
Every other game too is a target that's very nicely here by Talady and then I'd be gonna win 2-0
Karmie Gore 20 seconds left is up 3-0. Oh demo there it is that girl getting the finish is Edgeby
With the big time demo sometimes that's what you need to do when it's born Rock League
Everything's going back and forth. No scoring opportunities. Just try the field and just take someone out
Edgeby clears the field
Yeah, it definitely takes a ball to apply it to realize you kind of added midfield style mate
We saw it certainly a lot in that first group a
Matches and it's a person to push downfield take the risk that time it was man city getting rewarded for it
They're looking pretty comfortable. I'd say overall the road log is certainly throwing me off. It might be throwing me off
So I was not looking too bad
That's them solid play reset over the top as well
We downfield the king pressure here up. It's an interesting team make always well rocking just the letter M
What's the small name tag so he looks more invisible in game. I like it. That's metagame
So for a while, I think for the first couple of years
I think you could have a really small name tag and then they made it like there's a default size that you can't go under
So it doesn't work as well as the first few years of rocket. Eat the floor works a little bit. Maybe the mind games
Something in that two seconds perhaps a chair and say we just want one more bottle down and
Man City, good. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie. We said that we'd over five. Take it back.
Zero. Zero. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. I saw him. When he said four games, like we want to go against
Gibbs, but I feel like he should have said it and maybe two. That doesn't feel as achievable
now to be honest with you. He baited us for this because we're such entertainment
brained people. He's like, hey guys, what would you take on this bet? I'm gonna take
the really obvious side. Do you want to take the other side of where we have to either be boring
or wrong? Yeah, that's Gibbs. As Gibbs said, Gibbs is always wrong.
Gibbs is always right. You know, it's just how it is. That Gibbs is a great dude.
you. So, okay, this was that. And it keeps everyone's brain. It keeps these
away. They're on. You just sometimes have to concede. All right. All right. I want to
see to wake up here a bit to it. All right. Let's see these underdogs, you know, but
take it to these guys a little bit, make a few of these games into matches. I don't
want to see all three of us. I was just joking about that. I want to see some
quality rock. Right now, we're seeing that at 14. I want to see that of all eights.
Yeah, look the problem is I feel like there's usually one big upset and
unfortunately enough for Group B, GK said watch this and they've got to take
immediate for everyone and now maybe we get just you know back to back to regular
schedule programming in Group B but there was just they weren't just big dogs
they were the clear big four you know they're the top four in the rankings
and they're in this group so it should be going this way you know all things
Any good news? Oh, for the underdogs. He gives any good news at all for the underdogs.
Vitality's already up 1-0.
Error has not been scored on yet.
That's something, but they haven't scored on yet.
That's the best news available.
Okay.
Actually, they just scored.
Oh, my Mego gets one in, so technically, they are winning right now.
Okay.
Well, I don't want to hop over there and curse them.
Oh, whoa!
It's like they're doing a defense.
Let's go!
Come on, Toro! CRR, there's put us absolutely nothing.
I'm not sure what that was.
That's a flat play. He's driven under the ball, not realizing how skinny he is.
How short the octane was in that instance. And then he's popped the ball around only as well.
Pretty much. It's just, that's a catastrophe. That's a CRR gameplay though.
I feel like it is high risk I reward that guy. He's going to give you a lot, but sometimes he might just do that.
And to be fair, that's a grand champ play because I do that every single ranked session.
I'm always like, I have enough room to actually hit this ball.
Guys that don't want to get too excited.
I'm getting excited.
We're again.
Whoa.
Hey.
No, we're man.
It's the underdogs coming back.
We're going to get four of the sweeps off the just complaining one-sided.
Two of the series reverse sweep.
No, you're one.
Okay.
Two of the series reverse sweep, then the six game wins.
Yeah.
Yeah, if two series force game five gives, it's still right.
You can hear her first way through here.
That's where you want to go.
That's where you need to get one back.
I'm a little bit worried.
But I'll get another one there in the bottom right corner.
So they're up two looking for the sweep there.
And they'll come back here, ninjas in two.
Still tied, two minutes left.
See if they can call some havoc.
I feel like, I don't know, again, this is a classic Ninja Zima Jalan sort of performance
where they look really great and then you see Siara do that and you think, well, they
can't be a top 14, but then they got second place in the first event, it's just, it is
hard to trust them, but we must have reached out for us.
What was that?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I like the extra play.
It was well covered by Toad.
Another open little counterattack shot, it goes a little bit wide all the way, we'll
get the clear but see another pass into the middle only get stemmed for his
efforts as well so to put nuts pressure here
cool it was a little dumb
yeah I'm gonna score it again here it's died
oh yeah when it's open oh what a read
Jorius this is insane this is an insane read you missed the wide open net you
gotta make up for it look at that perfect placement on the read off the post
That is not easy to do. Those posts can get walky. Well done by Joris.
Yeah, they're a bit rounder those posts. You never know where they're going to bounce, but he pre-jumped early and put himself in there.
Right spot is golfing, and he looked up. Older's run straight into his net for 3-1.
I'm hearing Man City tied it up as well. Wayfong. It's just an absolute disaster here for the underdogs.
The underdogs are not having a good time.
I should have said four and a half goals.
Oh, relax.
This is where Kibbs gets carried away, you get too confident, and he will crash back down to earth.
Oh Willie, sometimes Kibbs gets too happy about the embrace.
He's going to hurt person for the rest of these men.
Oh actually, I don't mind it to be honest. We can keep that going.
30 seconds left, we'll see if Toad can find some offense here really.
They have been a little bit pinned, maybe a chance here to sit down and feel a little drop down past as well from a little motion.
Don't mind it, his force is pushing the ball forward as well, they're got a camping net here in IP, they want the 3-0 sweep
But they're not looking to score one more goal, redirect on net Sarah, yeah these guys are just pinning it down
The good thing is for the Ninjas here with 10 Cs left gives, they've got a lot of boost to work with, it's looking pretty safe
Ght has tied it up with 40 seconds left against Vitality
Okay, alright
And it's actually the most competitive match in the round at the moment.
HB received a aerial pass, flip reset it onto the backboard, and double tapped it for Man City to take the lead.
But I think GHG versus Vitality, we could head over there.
We'll watch it final 20 seconds to see if we're able to get a game 4.
I mean at this point, this is all we have to hang on to the Hueay funk.
This has just been, it's been switched to Loring.
Look, we do love it, the favourites.
We love the top dogs, the big dogs, but sometimes you want the underdogs to just give us something.
Maybe the Italians here, G.H.T., Graham, Ahadah, T.O.M.S. can provide some magic in his overtime.
I think Johnny Boy was doing some of his 1v1 tournaments, and I was following one of his roads, so I became a big fan of him.
He was a big hundred dollars in that, and I moved it up, and some houses, yeah.
BDS, still alive.
BDS is performing incredibly in both games.
Oh, Sam so far, all.
I could have been completely serious.
I'm shocked I missed that, but that was pretty open form for Kramma though.
He doesn't.
He's got a shot here to move up field.
Zen is a little awkward on that back wall, but I'm excited.
He has plenty of time and we'll get to play.
Yeah, look, the World Champion won't miss that on Sunday, Friday.
So it's all good.
You can get away with that when you are winning in this position,
but there is a World Champion on the other team.
We are cooks in 97 and coaching the Italians.
Oh, yeah.
It's great to see on that side of things, as we are approaching one minute over time,
it has been all vitality so far.
So I just can't get over how well BDS performing through this, just playing both groups at once.
Leave me to 10-0. Love to see GHD just get a game.
Red C exotic pass back down to Xen.
Oh, Hyder Gray played by him. Xen almost had a boost, but no boost. Xen's got a chance to just drop it. Oh, he does!
Xen chasing down the goalie as well, and that's how he will get the sweet.
That bad city, the answer is zero, it's zero games.
That was the quickest round in the World League Sports history, I think, in a group stage at
Markham.
I mean, we at least had no time, yeah, I guess, right?
Yeah, maybe it was a little, it leaves a little room.
It was pretty close to the bottom though there as far as competitiveness in that round.
Everyone goes 3-0, the Dopp dogs move and on.
We'll see them all play each other here in round two,
which it does mean CJ.
We get some really nice competitive round two matches.
When you got a bunch of 3-0s,
that means all the teams have just got swept
for playing each other.
All the teams have just swept for playing each other.
I'm excited.
Yeah, we just found out now,
we're gonna see the top dogs versus the top dogs
and the underdogs against the underdogs.
KC, man, CD, then Vitality needs them jumps.
That's gonna be exciting, but I mean, the highlights,
it's just all about the big guys here today.
It looks fantastic all the way through.
Digi Vajams had a little bit of a hiccup.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like every team had some little hiccups.
Even my quality went to overtime,
but not a single top seed Gibbs dropped a game.
Yeah, 3-0's across the board,
and that's what you expect out of the top four from open four.
But again, that means next round,
all those top four are playing one another
to have two lives going into the weekend.
So it's gonna be absolutely huge games across the board there.
I feel like they saw Group A as well and saw what happened to GK and said that we are not
letting that happen to us.
Let's just get the first win.
We spoke about it in the midi pre-show going into Group A as well.
Just how important that first game win was going to be.
So you do avoid the chance of playing one of these top teams in the lower bracket.
So a huge win all around us, we've just seen some more highlights then just getting to
work.
I mean, he just creates so much space.
he doesn't school gives he just orbs it out look at a double flip around one
and pop as well yeah that's just insane because that angle like no one
expects that ball to come back around but he doesn't double flip or set to
bring it back around there's probably like five people in rock league that can
actually do that but GST they did fight back a bit but at the end of the day
finally they ran out of boost they ran out of time and vitality out the double
they get the double they advance and now those four teams that we saw a win will
be playing for top six in our bracket win that and you're through not just to play off
Saturday, but also the championship Sunday regardless of how you do on Saturday. So everyone
else will be playing for their tournament live lose those rounds and you are out. We
will see Caligarous take on your eSports and toad in the hole taken on G. H. T. Winners
get to face off against the lose from the upper matches there for our final matches
of the day. Carmichael versus Man City and ninjas and pajamas versus team vitality. There's
a rematch of this open for grand finals happening here as an upper semifinal there. We'll see
if Nidja Buzama can get the salty run back here CJ against Team Vitality.
It's a beauty of the group stage. You do get kind of the top matches earlier on then you
know having to wait all the way until the semifinal grand final on Champ Sunday. But
yeah these are the matches we're going to be looking at focusing on those upper semis.
I'm still thinking we could see an ups and an a lower semi. I'm not fully convinced after
CRO drive under the ball in that match, maybe some chaos later on in this group.
But I'm excited to see those top teams go at it.
Group A is done. We finished it up a quarterfiles of Group B.
We'll allow you to move on those upper semis and lower quarters.
Only two more rounds of competition going. Make sure you keep it locked right here.
This is going to be some exciting action getting yourselves set up for the big broadcast.
Tomorrow's we'll watch the teams facing off in best of sevens.
Karmicor taking on Man City and NIP,
taking on Vitality coming up here after the break,
Caligaris and E-Sports as well,
toting the hole, taking on GHT.
We're covering the matches here in red zone style,
but if you wanted to watch just one match in its entirety,
make sure you're checking out our streamers
who are covering those matches on their individual streams.
We're taking a quick break when we come back.
Open number five for Europe, the RLCS continues.
Okay, the plumber's fixing that burst pipe.
It should be all set.
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about this.
Maybe something like a half-protection just need a lifeguard.
What about that emergency with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.
You know, technically you don't have to post everything that happens online.
But, but, but...
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless with that affirmation, am I right?
Don't hold back, cause you won't win the morning with a mission to move so I'll make you mine.
Don't hold back, down the knives.
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, Motion for Life.
I know you said stay out of things, babe, but I don't get tired of it
Told me I'd never be happy, I'm not sad at all
I
So far, the teams we expected to win have been winning, but that changes right now since
they have to play each other and somebody has to lose.
Welcome back to the RLCS folks, top four teams.
into the upper semis you win that you're through to top six you'll play on playoff Saturday
You'll play on championship Sunday
You're in the bottom though you're gonna have to win two matches just to get a chance to be on that Saturday broadcast
And either those matches you lose you are done welcome back to the desk fear. It's been an exciting one
Well, at least B was a group A was exciting group B has yet to be excited
It was fun to watch though do and just have a reminder of just how good some of these teams are
Yeah, for real. These are the top four teams from the last open. They're going to be top
four again. We're getting slightly different message by Talody and Ninjas Jameis met in
that final, but we didn't get to see KC Man City. So it's a little bit of a mix up. We
get to see which one of these teams are truly the best if they're performing to the top
of their game today on Friday as well. And maybe get to see who who's not going out in
the bottom. And I get four matches at once. That's what I'm excited for. Yeah. Strap in.
the game. And so, you know,
it's an adventure as a caster
to the ventures of viewer 11
when we have four matches
happening at the same time.
Yeah, not that I think you
know, K corp can always be a
question mark when it comes
to these Swiss and group stages
in terms of how far down the
barrel and how far down the
tournament they're looking at.
So that first overtime against
KLG kind of had be excited, but
for this to be all sweeps was
teams, a lot of the same rosters.
So this completely caught me off guard.
I think I mean, I think it's just a just a testament that
you has fallen off.
These teams are getting washed and like the depth
in this reading is drying up all over.
So that's how I'm reading these results here.
I am excited to watch the three teams that got swept
going into those lower quarter finals.
I think there's going to be a lot of even mentality
and any boom that would happen from getting swept
in that moment until you know that the team you're playing
just got hit the same way you did.
It's going to be easy for these teams to ground themselves.
I think we should get some really competitive matches across the board here fear in the uppers and in the lowers. Yeah, for sure
I think there's no question that uppers are gonna be competitive lowers gonna be competitive
What's kind of the question now is actually the next round are we gonna see another set of 3-0s when the top dogs face?
You know the underdogs and just are all for these teams gonna pass through
It's a big deal to pass through through the uppers and that's what we're watching right now
It's just a huge benefit the key is to then not fall out
But even if you do fall out still just guaranteed top six, I bet if we look back winners are almost always coming from this top
For or this top six upper bracket
Maybe the exception of Casey or something losing sometimes and going all the way through but yeah, and this is a big game
right now, there's there's something about
Coming up to the lower bracket at the lower bracket run where you are you are winning
This match this round is everybody who won in the last round facing off each other
And everyone who lost in last round face off each other
But then the following round will be two teams that one and two teams that lost facing each other
I think the teams that one do have a slight mental edge there. I don't know. I'm excited to see how it goes
Here's how the points sit right now. I think coming into this event
I know this is including the points they have earned so far in this event with the wins
They've gotten right now because team by Tali had 19 points right now. They've got 20
So sitting up there on top gel mates KDOP Corp. We were talking about in the in the the caster chat there
Alpha and rato right now tied for fifth place living kiwi. I mean it's a thing we thought was gonna happen
but hey, they are earning those points. Yeah, gentlemen, it's KDOT court made it through.
I know synergy. I think they not so well, but don't know how you know, with all these
name changes, it's so confusing, but the race is still on all things considered and hoping
that now the group B kind of have the more top half heavy. I feel like you got the top
half going up against each other. The bottom half will have that second chance. So I said
that wake up call. It's nice
but yeah, Paris is in co
a lot of these teams and
teams that are just getting
a far away dream, but it'
that in mind. We'll see w
to earn more points in ava
that hopes of playing in
momentarily. All the play
getting warmed up and get
be playing those matches
only one round left after
keep it locked right here and enjoy the broadcast.
Or maybe go check out some of the other streams.
There's a nice chill environment,
a lot of fun that gets had on these broadcast days.
On Fridays, a special environment,
a special place in the eSports ecosystem here.
I mean, if you've experienced the view party vibes
a lot on your personal streams there, too.
Which one are you enjoying more?
Do you have anything you miss about having it be your show
where you get to decide the tone entirely?
Um, it's fun, it's a good time.
I love people who, you know, come to my streams and get to watch, but it's also great to be part of the main broadcast when it's been so long, so many years that I've been watching it, you know, as a fan and so to get to help make the product, you know, as good as it is.
Hopefully, I am doing that. It's great to be here, but the Fridays are fine. I mean, it's really good at getting everybody involved in some way. I've done team streams where I've led with different teams at various different times.
different times. I've done watch parties where I watch everybody else's teams. It's just all
of the Rockinley community comes together in this moment for these days and we wait all week
and then everything seems to happen all at once on these Fridays. We've actually been slowing
them down a little bit, which is nice because we get to watch a lot more games with this new
format. So that's been nice. True. It is such chaos when we were running groups A and B at the
same time and you had like eight matches to watch at the very beginning of the day. But I did,
I do enjoy the times I've gotten to be on Team Streams 11 and then we get to like be full biased.
just like that. We are here cheering for this team. If you're here watching, it's because
you also want this team to win. If you don't want this team to win, please leave. This is what
happens to CJ with a Shopify stream all the time, especially when they start to lose. People
pop in there just to watch him rage because it's amazing to watch. But I don't know. There's,
there's, there's a little bit of everything here. I like the vibe we got going here. I like the
vibes got on the team streams to wonderful celebration of the sport. Yeah. We get to see
honesty out of fear. Like I hated that shot. How critical he gets. We get wave casting and CJ
you and give you feedback live like I just love Fridays and how chill it is. I'm glad
these are back because this is also just as chaotic for some of the teams. Now it feels
like it's going more according to a script when it comes to at least this regional, but
the last one was crazier. But now teams are starting to settle in and find their groove.
They are. And all the teams, again, the format is just as important part of any competition
as the gameplay itself. So for all these teams, they have to adjust to the constant changes
that go under go here with the format. So, uh, everybody settling into this group stage
vibes, especially now that it is round based or not having to keep track of how the other
group is going to understand what their tournament life situation is like. Cause however, how
good all the other teams are doing is just as important to where you're at in the standings
is how well you are doing unless you are literally just winning. So for all the teams, this is
maybe a little easier for them to keep track of here. I'm excited. I'm not sure which matches
I'm more excited for here. It's probably the uppers fear, but I don't know, like the lowest
There's lower quarterfinal matches when teams have their lives on the line.
There's something about those stories and getting to know that those stories are just
having their first chapters written and if they win those matches, they get to write
a second chapter and continue to build that legacy.
So many names that we know because their household names in Rockleague started on teams like
Caligaris and Totem the Hole.
Yeah, definitely.
I think that it's an opportunity for teams to get their first wins under the belt.
Sometimes you get unlucky.
I think if I just look at group A, you know, get a K-DOP Corp, I believe was dropping down
and then PCS tried us to play K-Drop Corp,
and then they still don't get their wins under their belt.
Whereas in this case, it's just a crew of underdogs.
You know, somebody's going to be able to get a win.
Maybe someone who hasn't even gotten one before
in the mainstream, not necessarily in the mainstream,
but although it is going to be mainstream this time,
but just like main event.
That's where it starts,
and lots of different players have started there.
So it's definitely interesting to see
who's going to come out on top on the bottom ones,
but definitely different ones
where teams are all four of them
are probably likely to make major on this trajectory.
Yeah, for sure. And let me those upper matches. I mean, it's everything to win, nothing to lose.
You lose, you drop to another qualification match. If you win, you're through for the day.
So I hope I think with these top matches, you see there, Karmicorps versus Man City and Vitaliy versus Ninja Pajamas,
we should see just, just all out rockin' it.
Yeah, of course, we're gonna go to the repeat rematch grand final,
which within 10 seconds, NIP have already scored in about just as many goals as that grand final.
So we're off to a good start when it comes to NIP.
Yeah, it looks like Exotic and Zen.
I had a little bit of miscommunication there.
Zen was flying across NET.
I wonder if he was able to get his clear if he would have
been able to take it away.
But instead, Exotic's straight in the air.
Also, interest in Pyjamas so far, all in on kickoffs.
They had a double-connect kickoff to open and another one
to follow.
But this one's not going quite as well for them as Vitality.
You're going to get something going.
And when you look at Vitality, this
the team with so much talent,
but it was always about how they
were working together and man was
it ever good time to be a vitality
fan when you watch the last regional
because he became like this catalyst
for the team so good at enabling
Zen just tried to do something
there and then I promise
that this team was going to get better
every event and that finally
showed that was a really dominant
final against an IP and I think
everyone's learned their lesson there
to close your series now.
Yeah, Zen, as much as we talk about him,
had been in a bit of a drought in terms of winning events
for the regionals.
He actually won an international event
with not his vitality roster, but it's great to see Zen.
Everyone seems to be hyped and locked in
when Zen is playing well, so Zen, back on top,
can he continue to stay on top with another regional win?
It seems like we're all so ready for the Zen dominance
to take over once again.
He finds himself at the top of every single list whenever he is winning, his team is winning, you can't ignore it, you gotta put him up there at 1.
But even when his team is not doing as good, people are still trying to sneak him up there, so it has been, you know, the Zen era almost for a while.
We'll see if it comes back.
But right now, the interested in Pyjamas playing well.
Look at my old era, CRR has been on quite the run, he has been a player for a long time, but with this interesting Pyjamas squad, he has been unlocked, I love what I've seen from him, and he's the only person with a goal so far in this one.
Also speaking of era era we eat Caligurus 1.0 with 3.11 actually particularly notable
report I just wanted to make that transition I wanted to
I'm just going to give you a description of Eurus. I want to say Eurus.
Good job, dude. Great insight. Love it.
Yeah, there's two of them.
That was cool. Oh, yeah. The NIV is just getting
first seed, definitely good for the confidence roster that's stuck together through
kickoff and Boston Major and top six, top eight finishes.
And I think they even got number one seed out of
groups last we're going into groups even last regional so might be do well in
this kind of format just wish they still had energy left when the phasing
vitality in that grand final
CRR oh my goodness we're just flying past this one pinch away and give a little
bit of time to breathe how's my KC man city game going
Oh, it's pause. Never mind.
I'm gonna pause right now and I've been watching it closely to see if something's gonna happen with the scoreboard.
They just reset the kickoff. There might be a chance of Golgis removed, I think.
It's probably not, though.
As far as you know, it is 1-1 down. 3-5 left to go.
So, 1-1 games actually across the board, except for totem hole, GHT, which are...
Gotta start it a little bit longer, because you can see it's just...
Oh my god, yeah.
All these games brought to you by Progressive.
Appreciate them being a part of the RLCS.
and see them off in the distance and you'll see more of them, especially if the series
stays as close as it is.
And you'll see players like CRR, kind of like AJG from other teams, it's just a multi-regional
talent.
It's ones that can go and learn from so many different players, so many different styles
and speeds and eventually end up in Europe to try and best the best.
So it's exciting.
We want to hit the four box here.
and the bit of an update with Man City hitting a goal against Carmencourt, now leading 2-1,
three minutes left to go in that game. Edgeby having himself a great series so far.
That's great. Oh, there it is.
Ooh, close match is across the board. I was thinking that ERA KLG match was going to be the
closest in terms of two underdogs. KLG had some upset in the last regional era. This is a first
one so they're unproven, not tested, but excited for that one.
Stay locked in for now.
Vitality and Ninjas are locked in score as well.
We saw Exotic doing a lot of creation to get Vitality's goal.
I think that's Xen and Exotic have been a duo that have been long awaited.
At least by them, they seem to love to play with each other.
Exotic can sometimes catch some heat.
I think being a part of Xen's team is always recognizing that you might catch some heat.
There's a lot of Zen fans out there.
If your team doesn't win, they don't want to blame Zen.
Maybe they shouldn't, but either way,
whether you should or shouldn't, you're
going to catch a bit of heat.
And so exotic when he's peeking for his team,
it always got to feel good for him.
And this guy that's swapping Zen right now
is trying to peek for his team like he normally does.
50, how do they keep that close to your nice save?
My goodness, I don't know how Zen even got that anywhere
near the net with Trius in his way.
Yeah, just coming to a complete stop.
Last couple of seconds, always trying
to bring the speed the post is hanging on. It looks like we'll go into an OT barring
something crazy out of Stizzy, which not the case, but I mean this vitality team so different
compared to their pre Boston era look, but they look so much more confident, more controlled
by some stakes and clean vitality and.
Now they got to play some defense though. Oh, soft on Caligari zero seconds dribbles
the ball and the roof of his car flicks it up or 90 for a buzzer beater that
ball was locked on his roof really pretty goal to give them a winning game
number one in a point overtime. I was off some 1D1er, you can't leave them all by
himself I'm sure I didn't even see the goal but I guarantee it was a great 1D1
play. Based on your description which is very vivid. For this one I mean it's
hanging on by a thread by Caledon stuck on defense now for 40 seconds and
It's a backboard getting tested.
Why does Sierra not shoot?
I have to go back and see it again.
It seemed like there was a chance to shoot.
You went for a backboard double instead.
But it felt like there was maybe an opening to a shoot.
That the follow-up was definitely not in.
Tense over time.
Fatality now with the chance.
Dizzy.
Trying to get physical.
It's not going to work.
Passing play counterattack.
But all of it thought he'd back it all low on boost
so maybe an opportunity to get a little bit off.
It's going.
Carming core with 36 seconds left has equalized the score against man city demolition on defense and juicy able to
Sneak it through the gap
2-1 down just very there was to own out to one as DHT gets on the board with 54 seconds left
So every match competitive
Let's go send
I think it's a lot of creation here exotic in the corner.
Joyous was like oversight.
Exarchist waited it out and then double and then got the fish.
But it's a great tap in by that.
That's a teamwork from vitality.
Like they're just enabling each other.
And now we'll go and check in with that K-Corp man city
match and 17 seconds left.
Tao and the tier is just got a lead.
Well, Steve, they hold onto it.
KC kind of led the kickoff meta once upon a time.
They were more willing to experiment.
Now everybody in the game is down to throw
tons of different strategies at the kickoff.
Man City's wasn't good enough to get possession
and to just kind of hang out behind the ball.
Maybe one last chance at zero seconds.
Snub Juicy will intercept.
Wait, what?
I told them we should have tapped to the ground.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
They go back in control as per usual.
They had that sweep against KLG and they're on match point over there, where are we going that way?
Where are you going hang out with Caligari's in the air over there?
They're getting quicker, 30 seconds in Caligari's already gotten two goals. The first one was pretty from baddie Matt gonna get the second one here on a dunk.
There, Caligari's up with a quick lead there. You saw it kind of bottom right if you were an eagle-eyed viewer there too and the hole did get the first game win 2-1 over G.H.T.
We'll see if they keep that going.
Match number two.
Speaking of rising talent, I know Osef has been a really exciting player to watch for the German community
because they felt like they haven't had that German player to really cheer on
and Osef really turned up, especially at the last regional.
Fun fact, I think it stands for origin soft or something.
I thought it was orange juice, wasn't it?
Yeah, orange juice. So Osef is like OJ in German basically.
So my fellow crew, I might be biased.
Oh, that's right. I see
Hey, I'm biased too, so we're both biased those ups that was in one way one
Well, let's go hop back over here to game two vitality and IP
Vitality gets the first goal on the board man city scores first against coming court as well
It's like over partaking the picture there and game number one man city was
and both game one or two
Close play got the kickoff chance there, CRR, maybe he could have gotten that in, everyone's
backing off now, Xen is so scary that even on zero boost no one wants to challenge him.
Xen is fun to cast because you'll be hyped about something he's doing on offense and
then when it counterattacks look Xen's back on defense, like he's kind of like that do-it-all
player but not too much, not too little, just right, he's found a really good balance and
most importantly a team that you can trust to kind of fill out the other roles too.
Nice interception, still dangerous here. Zen, wow went for the pass. What a good idea. I don't
think a shot would have made its way through, but it's a double commit. So there's a pajama,
this is a great chance. The 50 actually keeps it somewhat swarovable, but Zen did a good job
botting it up. Only got a midfield and Dory's had no interest. He had under boost and says no,
I'd rather not get swirled on again when I hang out in the back. So you can afford to be safe for
Now you do have a lot of time left on the clock, but you have to throw everything at the net eventually if they don't find a goal
CR root across the nets
Yeah, almost a really nice setup there from CR and he was the big question mark on the scene because you knew exactly what you were gonna
Get out of Jorrius only core from in the past then you add CRR
And I think he has been such a solid addition and just because there was such a well
There's so much so many players in EU to pick up and bring CRR and
Kind of people weren't sure and I think this team has really proved themselves
I obviously they got number two in the last regional
They tied up just now. Yeah, it's about Jorias. You know Jorias and CRR
I was just thinking about how it seems like
Something about being in EU levels up for gameplay because they both played in NA
But I swear they play way better over here in EU and why couldn't they have brought that to North America?
That's that's what I want to know. Isn't this supposed to be harder here?
I think it's supposed to be harder, but apparently they thrive, you know
In what is the toughest region to qualify from. Luckily they have that extra spot which can make it easier on a bit.
Nanderson Pajamas really are a story of a team that became greater than this other parts, I feel like.
Jorias and Oli have been buddies for a long time. I feel like they've been trying to team with each other since forever, both Dutch players.
and then they're able to pick up CRR, a veteran who's been around for a while,
which in choice is now two of them. He's been, you know, here since the very early days of his life, I should say,
like 15 or 16 years old. I think he's still playing rock league.
But now he's gone to a stage of his career where he's looking to team up with the fellow vets
and to play the game the way he likes to. And I'm just a perjambus. It just worked so well.
I mean, I'll just be completely honest. Expecting the teams, you know, coming into the season,
And I would not have a pretty good result.
This would have swung to the high end of what I thought
was possible for them.
So it's great to see these guys having fun and competing
and playing well.
But they don't want to settle for just that.
They're not going to settle for second place.
And that's why they are, as good as they are.
They're going to want to try and keep vitality here.
And I'm sure they still have that sweep
in the back of their minds from a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, Jory has got that first goal.
And look how his team was already
shoving people out of his way to get that lead back in.
and he's favored.
Jorias has been that top statistical performer in the past
that made from qualifying the majors, championship.
He's got the 1v1, so there's no doubt of Jorias
as an individual, but it was always about,
like you said, like the sum of the parts
and how the team comes together.
Because Jorias can be that player
that brings you to a grand final
or can sometimes have those updates.
And I'd love to see that NIPR
for having a good day today.
score updates. We have Caligarra's of 4-1 over here.
Other than that, they've got that series in control.
GHT is a 2-0 versus Tozen Hole.
They would equalize in the series.
They would win Game 2 here.
Carming Core with 43 seconds left is trailing 2-0 to Man City,
who looked to equalize that series.
So this is the most competitive match we're watching right now,
but Man City there, what a win that would be.
Get a game off of Carming Core, trying to force a win.
And while Stizzy's scoring on our main game here, just a great read.
Wow, got it off the post and in.
Sometimes that can be perfect and impossible to stop.
As a defender, just good reaction time from Vitality.
They find themselves in the lead again.
I mean, this is scary.
Zen's team is seeming like the best team in the region.
And people are going to start claiming them as the best team in the world.
I'm sure when we see the mates who won the last major not really going to the same level as they did and
Vitality are staying consistent staying up there
In fact a lot of the other top teams you know looking all around the world are maybe not
Repeating what they did in this last split
Zen and the rest of vitality they stay up there
So we might need to get used to some Zen victories unless ninjas of jamas can do something about it
and I'm here just been that close to scoring and then vitality stole the lead
away that seemed to be going there the other way but hey both nip and vitality
came out of the number one seeds of their groups with perfect perfect 3-0
scores let's say maybe nip and it was good
oh my god only just slows it down and then muscles it in instead of taking the
initial shot on Stizzy. He makes him dive across the net and then forces the 50 that
he can be in better position for us early hands of play by Oli. Got ourselves a tie game.
Let's see if this goes to OT when last swing from NIP. Oli take a shot in. Oli a shot to
make up contact. Man City does get the job done against
They're already in the game three, one game a feast in that series.
These passes already, Zen's gonna collide. You need to get in his way or it's just trouble.
And he got layers, not just all eyes on Zen and shut him down, the team comes apart.
It's like towering now with offensive options and this is going to be the most threatening team coming into this regional.
They did not expect that bump.
Victoria's only run through a boost anyways, Zen was the first man to get bumped off.
Everybody had nothing to take advantage of it.
I found themselves on the, you know, on a 3v1 situation.
I feel like multiple different times and I haven't been able to get going quick enough to take advantage of it.
Vitality keeping that one back, to keep things under control.
I feel like we've watched so many different overtimes today.
It is just, you know, the series might have been close in the last round, but a lot of these games are going the extra mile.
Yeah, back to back OTs. Like, this is no joke.
Vitality got the win in game one after 90 seconds.
We'll see if we beat that score,
but Vitality has been looking clean,
but NIP have had these flashes of brilliance.
With beating of brilliance, we got Sam trying to go for a bump
and no one's collecting okay, CR dodging contact there.
So Vitality want to keep it going, but can't.
Vitori's got that out there.
They were all soloing boosts,
big clear for Joyous, just pull pads
to get them a chance to reset that nice CRR.
I was hoping to get more Senka, another 50 on server, so Stizzy's in a bit of a 1v1 that flick.
I lied, it wasn't 1v1 at all. Only was back then.
I just love 1v1 too much, I'm sorry!
Yeah, this is a really physical game too, with not as many demos as I would expect until that one's there.
And Stizzy's just pounded over there, so vitality we forced on defense.
And he's off on Stizzy's end so quickly, it's like a flash in the pan, but NIP have been so good at stifling that aggression.
and open to still have an answer where it's been a lot of trying to feed the
ball to Jorius or set him up for success because he's having a good day.
Everybody's camped. Ooh, only got one to miss, only one.
Everybody was all in that. Sometimes you're extended attack.
Looking up just feels like you're almost helping them play defense, but they never
leave, they never rotate. You need them to separate a little bit.
Vitality.
Let's get back down.
Sonic's got the reason of that fake? Actually, it might work out.
I feel like this is the season of the fakes.
I don't know if anybody else agrees, but it just seems like the fakes are what
get goals nowadays in this current house. Yes.
Zenn was like playing with his food there.
If he would have won that 1v2 at the snail pace that he was at,
like that would have been a Zed-OT goal.
But here comes Julius. You have to back.
And that family holds on. And finally, NIP secured game two.
This one was not a fake.
This one, which is getting a reset on the opposite side of the ball, he blew up from underneath it.
Got all the way under, got the reset and got to bring it back as a defender.
We're just not expecting that.
Actually, if we can go, potentially, to toad in the whole GHG,
we can also check out that match at some point.
They're one-on-one in the series, one-on-one in the game,
and just starting game three here.
Karmicord, they're trying to get back against Man City.
Two minutes in the game.
Number three.
Also an even one.
Cal Gear is up 2-1 over ERA in game number 3 after winning the first two games looking
like we're on sweet alert for them.
Man City just did the KC Classic.
Once upon a time, KC were the main team running the air 12-1 pass.
Everybody's onto it now and this one is going to be on the equalizes.
You're going to watch a competitive fortnite.
Yes.
back. Yes, a little bit. A little bit. When the team from the meta was to run two sniper rifles,
and the first person would shoot with the storm rifle to pop the wall down, and then the second
person would shoot to actually get the headshot. It's very similar to like the air dribble bump pass
that are there where the first guy goes up, bumps the guy out of the way, and the second guy comes
in and actually hits the shot that does the damage. So I can see that. Well, after I was looking like
like a sniper to finally get K-Corp believe 90 seconds.
And these are two teams that ended
in the top four last regional,
but somehow a dodged each other.
So we'll see who gets further.
And what was it like the first time in ages
that K-Corp didn't make a grand final?
Can't let that be the case ever again.
But people have been starting to wonder,
is Casey looking less threatening?
Is the competition catching up?
Is that just a weird regional?
Like, we'll see.
It's tough to doubt Petira. Petira always seems to find a way and there's nobody I have to, you know, worry less about locking in and putting in the grind and making sure he does what it takes than Petira.
You know, him and his teams, and I imagine he doesn't celebrate anything less with his teams either. He seems to be always wanting more and never had enough in terms of success in his rap sheet shows just how good he's been.
He's been, I think you have to, you know, be that way to be as good as Batira so often we see championship hangover and stuff, somebody wins here there and then they're like, okay, well, that's good enough for me for a bit before they lock back in.
No, it's never enough for Batira, especially with that world's wins still hanging over his head that he needs. I'm not sure he'll ever stop. He had to be into it though, he'll probably just want more.
He's probably looking for the greatest to ever play, so that's definitely.
I mean, to play against them means you have to absolutely peak.
Like, you have to play the best Rocket League of your life.
Because even then, like, NIP ninjas that mouse saves you crazy from the K-Corp side.
And that's the thing, they're so frustrating to play against because they could do it all.
And it took the wind out of the sails of NIP when they won the game 7 against K-Corp
that they lost it all in the finals.
So it's like K-Corp are hanging on there.
It's like cake or bar hanging on there. You'll take a lead in the series
Wait
I was thinking just hit it to the ground, but no, but you're ahead of the plans
Oh, you have
Games kind of like nice and sequentially ordered here Caligari's versus era 47 seconds left
That was tied up. I'm gonna check that game out and then quickly check out
up, uh, Ninjas and Bajamas and Vitaliy afterwards.
Let's check out the Caligarys versus Ira in that they are close there.
And this will be the end of Ira's run, where they drop this game three.
Caligarys had a good run this last open, right?
So I feel like coming into this, they're probably the favored team here.
I'm not sure if Ira was there in the last open, but Caligarys getting defeated.
I'm the kind of team that, you know, I've seen Matt Osoffetti around a lot.
I don't know if I want to play it and coming off a three-oh-win, uh, even
it was to clear advantage to all the top teams. You know, we talked about the momentum base.
Players have mentioned that a lot, how tough it can be to play off-loss. Everyone coming
for offers when we play off-loss. Caligaris would be playing off of a great win if they
can get one more goal here. It'd be a nice sweep, but they might have to go to overtime.
See, we've had so many different overtimes in his possession for Caligaris right now.
And a chance. Oh, soft. Ooh, too much on the flicker. Let's get a follow-up.
No!
No!
He was up for it.
That's the best he can hope for as a teammate.
Just at least be there once I get you that opportunity.
It'd be a little bit better if you get the shot,
but you know, still.
I'm just glad he was there.
The Roadhog.
I forgot about it.
Roadhog reset.
Now winning with this is a different level.
It's just there's a certain origin of it.
The Roadhog's so big.
the way you're getting that aerial around the road hog.
Honestly, watching Ira and Sues, like, their backs are so good,
and they're good at using them, not just to score,
but to find each other on the field.
That's what I liked about them the most.
And they have that experience of being high in twos,
but they just kind of needed to really up their threes game.
And I think they just underestimated the danger
of some of these plays, like, maybe this one.
So it's up gets ready to launch and wanted to find Matt there, but good coverage from Europe
And Europe was trying to ramp up towards the backboard, but I will pass doesn't find Mr.
And here, but it came make up I should say whichever ones use it kind of funny names here on the era
They're bookending the strategies in terms of name length they've got hold the shortest possible and the longest name possible
I'm just going to go back to the
first one.
We just got face.
The road was trying to clear out
some space.
Didn't work.
You're a little more.
Backed in ready to play now.
Yeah, you're a miss groups by one
match, so we almost saw them last
regional and they're super
exciting. They played under the
There are there is some serious talent on this team. It's now just like the teamwork that used to be refined
All right, baby, we've got a little bit of space here on the air dribble you getting pre jumps
Oh, uh, big challenge like that
Maybe a passing play and make her can't really just fully believe that he's gonna get back into a 50
But if he did, they actually could have been a great setup for a shot
That's got that
two minute OT though, this is getting stressful, especially when you're on your last life if
you're ERA and you work so hard to get here, that kind of had KLG winning this, but ah,
the show I almost cursed it.
That was a good save, Osof came right from off camera for the perfect amount of suspense,
it felt like he was going to have it, but Osof recovered it, nice take away here, oh another
great 50. This feels like a
that eventually can lead to
but you know, you're there
get much out of it. This K
like Ozap and Faddy or Vady
then Matt has to be the el
old and I've been on a bu
and hopefully is settling
with the results that they
stick it out. But look at
It's just on the post can you imagine being a whole 20 years old?
It's such a high number I can't even fathom it
He go make our way through there were there was defenders in that here mats
I was gonna be able to take that ball to back wall
I think but then all of a sudden he didn't exist anymore
So Osobs had to try and make it zero we say
game. While that's been happening, crazy high scoring games here by Tally versus
NIP three to three on the brink of overtime. Carmen Corbett's man sitting
game four at halftime two to two. It was two to two at three minutes as well. So
you see that the top dogs have been just going below for below and we're into
another overtime. Geez. And if this is like our appetizer for what playoffs
are gonna look like, we're in for a treat because NIP are already looking
much better I think it's maybe more of an energy thing when you don't have to go
to game 7 against K-Corp and then face Vitality like what a gauntlet that must
have been for NIP but did Dave get them still?
definitely looks like they've been playing well while they've been off
camera I feel like Vitality had that edge but it's three back to back over
times actually right these guys have just been in overtime every time even
No, my mentality, maybe looking stronger earlier in the regulations.
Dizzy got a round one, but I think Joyce is there.
Who scores and when?
Once these overtime have fought really long, like several, several minutes,
like none of these inns to kick off shenanigans, all the woof, woof, woof,
you can see that NIP are searching for any kind of mistake or lapse.
You have to get rid of the wall so fast, and just like that,
it just goes right back to vitality.
Big dunk, but nobody there, that was the last VAC committing. What a pinch!
But I don't think anyone can really pretend like that's gonna get across the nets without somebody stopping them.
It's not going low, because the only pre-jump that only got bumped anyways, only got around Chorius, but everyone gets back and we still play.
That Ninja's and Pajamas, even though they're getting faked and demoed, they still swing back around.
Ninja makes a save, keep it alive.
It is scary though that Vitality are getting that much space and time on the wall to go for doubles like this backboard is just so open and NIP are making saves in the net but for how long can you keep doing that?
Big clear, Ole didn't have time to follow that up.
Exotic even getting a ton of wins in the midfield.
Their control right now, you always want to challenge that right away.
Ole does.
Stizzy left it for Exotic in communication.
These two teams, 5 for control.
We've seen some bump plays from Vitality.
something happens then catching this ball soft touch.
Nobody around to follow it.
Yeah, quick update here. Hopefully they'll score while we're doing this.
Okay, cool. They get it across there. 5-2 for Karmingor.
They are run out with that one and they should get that win.
That is a match point for them as well.
Toten the Hole versus GHT at 1.50 left to go.
They are leading 2-0 and if they were a win, Toten the Hole would get the win of the series as well.
I was leading one of the early in game four.
Looking for that one as well.
Yeah, just wanted to shout out GHG super quick.
All three are Italians trying to make that rise for the scene.
And also, it's coached by Cookser.
He has the Cookser finish.
One of the best Italians that ever touched Rocket League.
So they kind of have their own cool little storyline.
It's just sad that it may potentially come to an end
in these next two minutes.
But this is the real exciting one,
because it feels like the appetizer for the next final
That touch could have been scary, but Dory has got him.
We're going to get an extra game here in the past one.
That's great.
Just when I'm talking about Season of the Fakes, I've been saying it.
It's all about fakes.
It's a thing that should happen in any game, especially if that doesn't have
a meta that evolves via patch updates, but just by via player iteration
that at some point the RA, we all know what we're doing.
I just need to do, look like I'm doing the thing and then not do it
would become part of the meta at some point.
Yeah, definitely, the players are getting so good.
Ooh, the bustle!
Holy did most of the hard work.
He 50-0 win last time.
How's he going to do the hard work and let CRR get the glory?
Where that drops in, that'll be a match point for Ninjas and Bejana.
As Karmicord do get the job done, and they are through the championship Sunday.
Playoff Saturday.
We'll see them in the top eight, top six.
Clover see GHT, do get on the board.
24 seconds left. They're trying to hope still alive.
Lot of hope. They got one done. That's 24 seconds to see if your solution does apply
here. And grandma has a fun name. Grandma, you know, actually a man. This first name Giovanni,
so it feels very villain-esque. All of a sudden I call her grandma.
Yeah, I mean, grandma, grandma, he plays 1v1s, so I've been coached, I said grandma, you know,
at the start, people were like, oh, that's not how you say it, but I don't know,
you're gonna make your name grandma, then we can just say grandma.
I mean, I don't know, I don't think I even say it right when they do tell me how to say it.
So, todo, todo advancing, so we won't have to know too much how to say grandma,
because he's gonna have to do it next open. Next open.
Nice one here. Kale G trying a similar story, trying to end the series before Champions Field.
Let's see Champions Field here in Group B.
Be nice. We keep saying that Europe is this whole chaotic, unexpected region and we don't
feel like we've had too many offsets. If we needed too many gamefives at all. It's been
a quite tame second regional here.
Yeah, especially while the other regions are kind of going wild, you know, NA and Mina are definitely, I mean, Mina's the biggest one.
There's just doing stuff we've never seen before over there in that run.
Europe, keeping it somewhat tame. KC missed the final. That's kind of new.
But Zen winning feels like it's, you know, tough to say that's not crazy over here.
It feels like it's less crazy than it is. It's been, it's actually been a long time.
But Xenon is living they look very, very good in Boston and other than mask having the performance of a century.
They were they were favorites, I think, to win in Boston as well.
Then they come out of the first event in Boston and went online and now they're looking like a stronger team for tournament here.
They have started game four versus an AP there.
We'll watch the end of this game here.
We'll see the Michael overtime and be from there's life open there and they remind overtime here is going to have to do some work.
They want to get there.
The Roadhog didn't have a good enough 50.
Scythe's got a great pass over that.
Good finish from Osoft as well.
Flamin' from the front, Calgaris.
I think, you know, as far as towing the whole of Calgaris,
I'm looking at the Calgaris team potentially win
and get a top eight.
If somebody is gonna do it from this lower bracket,
I think they'd be playing the loser
of team vitality, Ninjas.
So it's not gonna be easy.
You're gonna be playing against a grand finalist.
So I'd probably just have the loser
of that one coming through anyways.
But if Cal Geras gets a momentum, maybe we'll see a spark.
Maybe we'll see something special.
So we're taking the Roadhog series.
This is like Stason's thing.
What?
You know, yeah, I think he played some dominance as well.
I think he might just be a little bit more open
to changing his car,
because I feel like he was a dominance player
once upon a time.
And I went through the Roadhog,
you know, not Flakes level of playing every single card
as a point that's trying to show
that you can play with anything,
But hey, the Roadhog loses.
So one more loss for the Roadhog, unlucky.
Hot top take, not the Roadhog's fault.
There's more at stake there than just the car.
I think they think that maybe there's
the players in the field better than here.
We'll hop back over.
Pigeon Vagina is the first Vitality.
Can Vitality force game five?
They can, but will they?
So we'll find out.
So goodbye to ERA and GHT, but a big hold to maybe
an exciting top half, I should say,
of this regional win.
NIP and Vitality playing this close.
I mean, the Overtimes and NIP striking early,
striking fast, they're up with the series.
It's not going to be an easy road for Vitality this time.
Yeah, and if you put Vitality down in lowers,
you can really kind of shake things up.
If you're a European team who is trying to break in to the top five, you actually probably
just want to see Vitality do well.
What you don't want to do is see other teams that are behind them catching up in points.
I think said Ninjas and Pajamas are fine as well with their second.
But you create an opportunity for Vitality to finish with way less points if you can
get them to have to sneak in to the bottom or maybe even lose in the low round.
I'm kind of just assuming they're going to make top eight and I'm thinking they might
lose there.
Definitely, they can lose and completely miss it,
and that really brings in an opportunity
for a lot more teams to get points to make a major.
So if you are a team trying to sneak in,
you probably want Vitality to just stay on top
is what I was trying to say.
I don't know where I got to.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, just playing on Saturday
means you're on the lower bracket side.
You only have one life, and the talent on the bottom half
side is pretty scary.
got Gritty Goose, K.DotCorp, which upset GK again,
and could even have Manchester City,
depending on how that series goes against Totendahole.
So yeah, the lower bracket for playoffs is gonna be...
Boom chance.
Oh!
Wow, good save.
Oh!
Nice.
Oh, okay.
Holy, it gets it on.
No.
But created here by Joria's Zen,
You can't down on the ground, and you just watched it.
You just watched it all happen right there in center of the nets.
And I pee up again.
And as you'd even game one, started off in NIP's favor,
but I totally didn't know how to go to the distance.
I mean, that first game went to a 90 second OT,
and then there was an almost three minute OT,
and then there was almost a four minute OT.
So every game has gone to OT between these two.
And this is a brawl.
So who's going on Vitality to give us yet another OT?
That's the only question we have left. It seems like they have a decent up chance.
It's clear. It's gonna go in the hands of Stan Troy to go all the way down.
CRR had a hopeful free jump that did not work out. He was just floating nowhere near the play.
ZEN!
Trying to make magic happen! It's still possible! They kept us falling!
Sizzly resets!
No fakes! She's into the fakes!
Better do the work.
Still chance, still chance.
No, it's good.
Inges and pajamas get the salty run back here after dropping it for the finals of open number four.
They'll be in the top bracket there by Talon.
You're gonna have to play Caligaris here in the final round to make it through to play off Saturday.
What a day.
What a battle so far yet to see champions field gen here in group B.
Well, it feels like when you have like three out of four games going to over times and it gives champions
Champions build vibes and hey, yeah, the NIP get the win in groups
But you know, you do expect Vitality to join them in playoffs
So you have to really settle the score there
But KLG have upset teams last regional when it comes to trying to squeeze into playoffs through the lower side
So need to see the final score but vitality. I think still really played well
There's a lot of fates a season of the fates as fear is dead by down. They kept bringing it up
But I think started to really slow it down just to really make sure because you knew vitality were doing so many of those
And I was nearly eight minutes of overtime between LIP and by talking that match so we definitely got basically
the game.
Plus more.
Karmic or here Manchester.
They looked it looked strong at first.
I think they scored first in every
game and yet still came out
with a 3-1 loss which tells you just how
I see Karmic or is
coming from behind coming from behind
to oh and do those games to win
and finish that one off.
This was a ton.
They're putting up a bunch of
goals that you know the five to finish so we can see a lot of these over times
but like you caught almost all the over times.
Biko was able to settle the score there.
Ira, or Ira, or how do you say it?
It was gonna have to come back again next time.
So that's dope for them to be against Manchester City for their first match
where they got washed and then they had a real chance against KLG.
But besides the one game three, Ira just really struggles
to get an offense going.
So, but hey, I'm sure they're stoked to just get here
because they missed groups by one match last regional.
So, you know, it's improvements every regional
improvements every day that matters.
They're looking good.
Two teams sent through two teams sent home.
We'll find out which two teams are going to be joining
Ninja Buzomas and Carmen core here in just a moment
while they get all set up down there.
Call of guess is on an interesting run so far today,
starting off that day with a sweep at the hands of Carming Corp and then managing to bounce back
4-1 here against Eros. So we'll finish things off with the reigning regional champs Vitality.
That'll be our final round of the day, that matchup and then Man City taking on Toad in the
hole as well. So two matches left will be played simultaneously. Make sure you got it right here
on the stream if you want to catch that action or maybe head over and check out some of the
team's streams. Lots of fun action happening there, biased commentary, good community vibes
Man City gonna be the channel there for them they'll have as well fury has the vitality broadcast lots of fun action here
Go check out Osoff or Caligaris there check out. What's the photo in the hole where they're here Henny Henny
RLL folks go check them out. We're gonna take a quick break when we come back Europe open number five continues here for the RLCS
Okay the Palmer is fixing that burst pipe should be all set good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from progressive
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have for Texan, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a sharp face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless in that affirmation, am I right?
Don't hold back.
Tell the lies.
Put your brain down for me.
Don't hold back.
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, Motion for Life.
The mid-nights are you
But somehow I keep running running back to you
Back to you, back to you
One that can get me feeling lonely
And hearing music that can make me smile
The way I feel with you
Can I fix what
One thing still remains on my mind
I know that you'll be back
From the minute I saw you
But somehow I keep running running back to you
Right to you
I know that you'll be bad, bad, bad
I know that you'll be bad, bad, bad
I love you too, baby I love you too, baby
I was all alone
And he said,
I'll do my own breath without you
I was sheltered from the cold
Where do we go from here?
Two matches left. Four teams still in contention for the final two spots of the day. Vitality.
Not able to get done this second time around against Nijit Madama despite having swept
them two weeks ago. Nijit Madama is flying away through Caligari. Also surviving the
lower bracket. Those two teams not going to clash for a spot in playoff Saturday. And
the top four teams wasn't making it out. We guaranteed man city will be in. So they're
going to be throwing the hole for sure. I say, okay, it might be vitality. So I think
Callagherse probably got this one. It's possible vitality one, what I think like 26 matches
in a row between open four and open five. And then it all crumbled. They've lost three
in a row. It's all downhill from here. Obviously for vitality. No, Nidjus Jama's look fantastic.
They look great. They look much better than what we saw at the end of open four.
And it was kind of what we saw through them through the journey of open four up until that final.
So we finally got to see them at their best, which is great for them.
Top six for them. K corpus back as well.
Pretty convincing over Man City. So two big wins there.
But we talked about how this group was very top four heavy.
And last time it was top four versus the underdogs.
It was all three O's. I'm going to put it out there.
fear over under 2.5 games for these underdogs.
What do you got?
I got under.
You got under?
I got under for sure.
I mean, that means someone's got to go take it to game five,
right?
Or they have to win for assuming.
Game five and a three-one, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A game five and a three-one.
Or they have to win, obviously, if they win.
Sure.
Either the teams win, they're in.
But yeah, I'm going to take the under on that.
I've liked what I've seen ultimately
from these top four over the course of this split.
I think Vitality.
actually are usually pretty strong on Fridays.
I feel like they move through usually with ease.
So it's actually interesting maybe they ran into Friday
Jorias on Ninjas and Pajamas.
He's also great on Fridays as well.
But I think they'll clean them up.
I probably have Vitality in Manchester City.
I got the under on two and a half games with Ender Dogs.
As much as I would like to continue to live in this fun
world where I think Vitality is somehow making it out of this.
I think across the multiverse, the majority of experiences
will be vitality in Manchester City of making quick work of their opponents and moving forward
in all four of our top teams here, making it out of Group A. But hey, the reason we
play is so we get to see the crazy upsets. I want to see what happens. So we haven't
seen a good one yet today. I'm a GK maybe, but I know as you're making the argument is
are they, is that an upset at this point? We don't know. Up there at the top though,
Carmen Cortes, Elmets, Ninja Pajamas, and we're going to be our top four teams here
tomorrow.
It's going to be interesting to see who comes out on this lower part of the bracket because
I think that lower part of the bracket is winnable, like whoever comes out.
Like if it is our two favorites, obviously, they will be favored to go into that lower
bracket round one, and then they will get the losers of those upper bracket games.
So it's okay if you only have one life.
You can still win this entire thing.
We've seen that before from K-Corps, we've seen that before from a Dignitas as well.
So it is possible to come out on top, but you got to get the job done today on Friday,
Which I would say is actually harder because it's only a best of five instead of an extra
game's on.
True.
Bless room to nail your opponents down.
We'll see which team is able to get the top spot, which which seems able to kind of figure
out their opponent more quickly here in these final two matches.
Excited to see them go down.
Excited to see if Cal garis or toad in the hole can make can get the job done.
And yeah, we're just waiting for players to get ready to go here.
So I'm going to say, I'm going to go with the over on this two and a half games.
I'm feeling spicy.
I'm feeling like Rupee's been a little bit too plain.
And then like, so it's like when you cook Thanksgiving dinner,
and then your mother-in-law comes over and she's like,
where's the pepper?
Where's the salt and pepper?
You got to add it in right at the end there, right?
So I'm thinking Toten to Hole, they got a shot open for Swiss.
They beat Man City three games to two.
I think it is possible that Toten to Hole came when that seems.
I think Vitality probably win 3-0.
So all my hope is falling off to Toten the Hole.
But I think there could be an upset for Ruin there.
I can see that going to game five,
and then if Kyle Gears can get one game,
I could see it happening.
So Man City, while they have looked great,
Toten the Hole, maybe a little bit of momentum
coming through that lower bracket,
have a chance to play spoiler.
Yeah, I think Man City is kind of a more of a new found
success than Vitality with Seiko.
So they're definitely shakier, I would say.
It's almost more about Man City
than it is about Toad and the Hole.
I think if you swapped the lower bracket semifinals,
they might even have a tougher time against Calgaris
than they would against Toad.
But Man City has to prove that they can be
one of those top teams and cleaning it up
and handling it on Fridays is the best way
or a really strong way to do it.
Yeah, this is a big one too,
because this is for two points on the line
possibly more like if you make top eight and right now throwing the holes only three points away
From man city so man city said that ten. I think total was at seven
So if they get that two-point swing
They're still in that race for top five. Sock is right now that fifth place team really hasn't amounted to much because we've seen a lot of these teams drop early
I do think we haven't really talked about it. Uh, you alluded to though here Gibbs with talking about like the spice at the end of the tournament
like round five they've had time to sit there and think about the fact that if
they lose this they're basically playing for for most of these teams they're
gonna be maybe not vitality since they won the last event but they're gonna be
playing for the LCQ if they want to have a chance to make it to Paris and like
that amount of pressure which team's able to take that say you know what that
doesn't matter we're just playing rock league like normal anything can happen
here and I do think that man city versus toad in the whole matchup is gonna
probably be a little bit more spicy a little bit more competitive especially
with a team like vitality that all have so much experience playing under these
pressure situations. You'd expect them to have an advantage in this matchup, but you never know.
That's why we have to play the matches here. Yeah, definitely. Totten the hole is a team to watch.
I was just pulling up the points and we had them up there a second ago, but you know, with five spots
in EU, it's available. And Totten the hole actually in position. You know, we saw the points
and we hadn't seen these game wins yet get put in place. But you know, group A got played before
Group B, Group B able to pick up a couple more points. Totten the hole, they're in the spot.
if they can keep it up.
Let's start things off here with Vitality, Caligaris.
And then if Vitality is able to run away with this,
we'll hop away.
If Caligaris is able to run away with it,
I don't know, they'd have to get pretty far ahead for me
to be like, let's cut away Vitality.
But it'd be kind of fun.
It'd be almost more entertaining if they hit
where the staff was on a large lead.
Yeah, that really comes back to Vitality.
He's been so red hot through making the major final.
They obviously lost there, but then they get the open four regional win.
But now they have to play back-to-back off the loss as well.
So we'll see how Vitality can bounce back from that.
Two scoring opportunities there for KLG, but unfortunately,
neither goes through.
Yeah, KLG, I think, ooh, that's super wide in my mind.
KLG have an opportunity to show that they're ready for the big show.
I mean, this is a match against Vitality for elimination.
This is something that a lot of players could back down against, and you know, you know, be afraid for the big time moments, but these guys want to be away. Wait a second.
Oh, they broke it! Osoft! Osoft was in a lock with somebody else who broke it!
Uh-oh.
They're both deep curses. That's it. Scott, they're both at home. They're both broke at the same time.
It's getting interesting because again Vitality, they're starting to win, but they are coming
off that loss.
If you can creep in and take this game 1 off Vitality, then the doubt starts to creep
in as it's going to return to the old Vitality where they've been having some troubles at
times or will Vitality, yeah, we lost against a great team in Ninjas, and this is what I
expect is Ninjas playing so well that they will find a forward Zonic with the double
zap, bottom right corner, perfect placement to get the score and start it.
And by the time he's picking up right where they left off against these lower end teams and exotic has been having a
Day, he's been having an open four as well if you look right there. So
Like if he's performing that well, he's been a world championship MVP before vitality is a true threat
Not only Europe, but also international
Yeah, definitely, I mean that's what I'm talking about before with Sen's teams and it just feels like Sen
has an ability to create at every moment.
If you add talent around him, then the team can look unstoppable.
That's definitely what he had in his championship teams in the past.
exotic, maybe giving him that here today.
Stizzy was a guy that went out and looked for just for that after how he played on
Digiton's own softs.
I had to leave that double with, yes, Stizzy.
He's been so good.
Like he was like the comeback player of the year, like motion-proof player of
I would say, and it turned into
Tick-to-Task and the EU2C.
And that's why he gets picked up by teams like Vitality,
because they see that spotlight on him,
and he looks so good throughout that whole year.
So, all right, let's bring him on to the team,
let's bring him with Zen, and let's get that flare going.
So now they have Zen and him to do work like that.
But now we have a chance here.
Calgaris, can they get it home?
They cannot get turned away by Vitality
and some solid defense.
Yeah, like what I've seen from Calgaris, though,
they've had some really strong opportunities
really strong opportunities to take in last second saves from Vitality to keep the edge
in this one. It is not, you know, indicating like it's going to be a blowout like we maybe
were suggesting. You know, my under might be sweating a little bit right now.
Yeah.
But wait, how's the other game going?
1-0 Main City. That's pretty early. It was honestly like three different goal line saves.
I mean, City eventually finally punched it through.
It's not an opportunity, but mostly it's been in their half
You're in sync with this. This is all around me a lot of vitality right now
And man city knows exactly what they need to do like if they win here and then they win that first lower bracket round
They're looking so good for one of those spots again
You know it gets five spots because of that Copenhagen land the paper wouldn't it so there's just that little extra buffer and last
last time Man City was so incredibly close, had to play that tiebreaker and just missed out.
And we really haven't seen a team of players that doesn't have major experience really
make lands of NERP in many years at this point.
Normally like these veterans will pick up one of these type of players and will carry
them to a major, but we don't usually see teams that don't have a lot of experience
make it and never gonna have two thirds of them possibly making it to their first major,
which would be great to see.
It feels like EU for a long time was getting credit for not just sticking with the same
talent.
You know, they were so often given the props for bringing in any talent and people went
as far as to say that's why the region was so strong because they were doing that.
Whereas NA we've kind of seen, I feel like for a long time the top players just passing
along in between each other, switching up their different major teams without letting
in the rookies.
you maybe slow it down and creating, you know, prodigal rookies. Is this possible?
Yeah, or they all get poached. So they're all on different teams.
There's only one third of all these teams, right? So, you see, but yeah, but Man City,
they all moved to the amount of thinking that time breaker was just a heartbreaker last time around to miss out on that.
So when on paper, they were the better team during that split.
But then, you know, the experience of GK kind of showed up at the end there.
So if they can continue that on the same side, I would see Vitality.
It's great to see them back in this form where they look like one of the best teams in the world.
Because if Zen is looking like one of the best teams in the world, that is good for Rocket League, right?
Because he's probably the most popular player in terms of the casual audience.
Like you talk about Rocket League, everyone knows who he is.
So it's great to see him back at top.
But one of the things not going well for Toad, they do get one here at the end, but 4-1 now.
I didn't say anything. Quick work of them.
Maybe if they chose a better dish to name themselves after,
we would have done a better chance, but...
We looked up the whole system. We didn't know what it was.
And that dish does not look that appetizing.
If you were to name a team after a dish of food,
what's the most intimidating, most aura dish?
Shaco, just do the work.
No, it's not.
It's not picked in a blanket, which is what I thought of when I looked at what Toad was,
but that was the first thing that came to my mind.
I kind of like that as a team, though.
Like I could see an orb being built around that.
Because we're gonna have to do some jobs.
Picked in a blanket, like we're selling some blankets with some pink ones.
Yeah.
I can see it.
Like, Swabian Bobby Jr.
But it doesn't.
Yeah, but it's not the right...
No, it does not.
It does not strike fear.
Alright, this one is over.
We can we can we can informally say that this matches conclude that this game is conclude. We'll hop over to game two
See if I tell you can keep it going
I don't know if I said I'm hot he would be saying sloppy jams or something
But howdy start up hot yet again said yo, I'm just taking off my own back wall do a flip reset go cross court
Throw it into that. This is rock really folks
This is what you can expect out of the best players in the world.
Keep the ball up the entire part of the field and do it with ease and zen.
Showing up early, Vitality already up 1-0 and it looks like my over might not be looking too hot.
Yeah, I don't think so.
But when I'm watching these games, especially if a lot of them are going on, a Vitality vs. Kalyers game,
I'm watching it for as long as it's tight or sometimes only if the underdog's in the lead
because Vitality and teams of their caliber are usually so good at holding on to it.
So, it's gonna need to, when this is a serious peak at a Cal Geras to make me believe the
good news is I did take the ender so I don't have to believe in Cal Geras, I can just believe
in my talent.
There you go.
Zem's got space again, do a little catch, it'll be a little bit too nice of a catch so
I can do anything with it as you will follow it up and just, just do a little 50-50s in
the midfield to keep from any scoring changes happening for Cal Geras here, but you know,
They still pass back to Matt and try and push it forward, but again being met every single time by Vitality in here
Double commit. I'm not sure that's gonna pay off. Zen's trying to take a bit of time
Because he recognized they went all in there
But Stizzy was there with him to take over control
It just feels like we haven't really seen a reliable way because Kalior has seen the score
I don't think it's gonna be this rolling ball. In fact, they thought it might be in instead Zen
And then he's going to punish him.
Yep, this is a...
I don't... wow, that challenge.
I don't even know how the ball went in that direction.
He's just perfectly dunked.
And Zen will follow that up in vitality.
Full control.
Yeah, Osof had a rolling ball somewhere near the net
and just had no idea what to do with it
and couldn't think of what to do.
And before he decided, Zen had already taken it away and scored.
Has to be a little bit more, you know, confident in that position.
Probably just has to play for 50.
and often times you can really do much of anything from there.
But we got a vitality to a lead.
Do we have a scoreline in Man City?
No, they are still, or this is a pause, but it was a kickoff goal.
We'll see if it stands.
How could we?
Drama?
All right, Wave, I have one for you.
Yes.
A devil on horseback.
That is a dish.
That's a dish?
Yeah.
That devil on horseback is a hot appetizer,
typically bacon wrapped, prunes or dates.
level on horseback would be a good team
interesting
but that's not bad, it's not a bad team
Jaff was quick to point out how many teams in the history of RLC have been named out for food
namely Team Queso and also Brett
Ah, Brett
likely history
I remember, I ate a giant bread stick on air
shoes and bread at a dream headphones
did they win?
probably not
We had to choose them because we found breadsticks in the venue for you guys.
I mean, promise, come on.
I gotta use the bit.
Well, you promised to eat a totem-a-hole if they make it.
No.
I did not look very good.
Is that a good one?
Is that? Here we go.
If they make it to an English land at some point, then sure.
And if they're still named totem-a-hole?
I'll do it.
Wow, you're taking big risks there, that is...
I know, I know, huge risks there.
Xandis is dominating this game again here in Vitality.
It's weird because after Open 4, we expected a little bit more madness,
and we really haven't seen too much of it in Europe, especially in this group.
We kind of said it's the top four and then no one else,
and it really is showing so far.
These first two games of this set as well.
Yeah, I think I mentioned it. I would say man city was the question mark
What would they do it again for me? They could be top four
But it sounds like despite the big kicker floor, you know, however that game's going that one's also
somewhat settled
So I'll see
There was also team omelet
There was
I'm just looking into a shed now for more tunings for food dishes.
I mean if there is a ball in the other game that makes perfect time to do that.
It's kind of true, it's kind of true.
This game does not seem particularly competitive at the moment,
as Vitality is very much in the driver's seat.
Callagher's since so much time is on their own half,
just trying to get the ball across the midfield line.
Yeah.
I went to hit tab to see how many times they've actually done anything, but I'm not in game
So it doesn't work. You didn't want to see their shots on target
So I said wait, nope, not in game. I forgot about that
I thought it worked. I'm trying to control Z when you're writing with pencil. Okay
So
I'm looking at Swiss. Oh man city. I'm in city went 3-0
Oh, and so I was trying to see if the the top season truck I'm trying to think about why vitality and
Ninjas and pajamas were playing each other so early and it must mean that someone makes mess messed up
Actually, it's like it's ninjas and pajamas. I'm just a pajamas melt a whip. So we have this kind of the story of the
Of the opening so far. They're running through uppers. I mean they have a chance to prove it
I think a lot of times with teams will make it to that position and then lose lose and we don't see him again
And so, but they got the win against Ninjas.
They forced this, you know, this group set up that we're in now
that has been somewhat straightforward in Group B.
So we'll see if, if Wip can shake it up anymore tomorrow.
Yeah, that win looks even better too now that Ninjas took down Vitality as well.
Like it was already a very good win, but that also taken down Vitality.
That's a before chance.
People don't understand if you have a team that you want to win
and you have a rival team, a lot of fans will be like,
I want that rival team to lose all their games.
No, you want the rival team to win all their games,
except for when they play your team,
so that when your team beats them,
it makes your team even look better, right?
That's how this works.
That is a very college mentality of like,
the old BCS system and like college football.
Where you want to be ranked high.
Now we actually have tournaments to do this,
not just random league play,
where you only play 10 teams out of Boston.
But to your point, the WIFT win looks better,
because the bajamas are looking good, you know?
like it's and I think the fierce point I totally agree so often you'll see a
team get a really interesting win kind of a little bit of a flukey win in
Swiss and then it falls apart in groups they don't even make it to bracket for
default part that falls apart in groups there whips later that that win for them
is going to be there they're one of the most interesting stories of the weekend
so far I'm excited to see if it continues on tomorrow but right now
Vitali up to oh and Cali guys they're getting ready for game number three bit
of a pause situation in game number two for Manchester City versus Toad in the hole. So
they'll be getting that game started here momentarily. We'll jump back in and see how things are going
with them. But in the meantime, it's a game three for Caligari's vitality, getting underway here.
Caligari's everything on the line and with their backs against the wall, and it's kind of
went with three straight against the reigning regional champs. Yeah, that's, that's gonna be brutal.
It's giving him incredibly hard just based on how vitality is looking again.
They won like 25 or 20 of whatever games in a row.
So they look like one of the best teams in the world right now.
And yeah, they fall short, but then they pick it right back up and Zen looks fantastic.
Exotic is looking good.
So it's going to be difficult for Caligarous.
I don't see them winning the game, but I've been proven wrong many times before.
So I'm hoping they do.
I'm hoping that we get some interesting matchups here at the end.
But it's just tough when this group was so lopsided.
We're the top four from open for all in this group.
And there was really no other challengers per se that we've
been normally a name as a challenger to the top four.
So the top four are getting the job done and they're looking
to make it through to Saturday.
Our statistician said he found a team in a pack named Fanta
steak like fantastic, but also Fanta and steak combined also
turns out that's actually an Asian furniture company.
So incredible branding all the way around.
As far as teams named after food, but also furniture, apparently.
So there's so many layers to that name.
I will say teams named after food don't don't have a team case.
So it was easily the best performing team named after food in the history of the game.
Yeah. And they didn't even want to major.
So. Sure.
Once they were not team case, I was one of them.
Yeah. They wanted after they were moist, which arguably a downgrade of a name.
But I mean, but that was the point of the moist name, though,
to be fair, was to be downgrade, right?
So that was kind of the whole MO of the name breaks my brain,
breaks my brain.
And the medical game is funnier.
Yeah, for sure.
Those are both both matches are in a little bit of a holding pattern right now.
I do see Caligari some vitality playing,
but there's a chance that is a warm up lobby I'm not aware of.
So we should be they should be at the other match
will be getting going here in just a moment.
So a little bit of stall here at the end of the day,
but we want to make sure we've got a fully competitive,
integral environment for the final few matches of the day.
Do not want teams qualifying under uncompetitive circumstances.
So this is the nature of eSports.
Must weave this virtual network properly as the teams again,
playing for those final two spots here,
fear, vitality, and Manchester City
and the driver seats in their matches.
Yeah, not just playing for these two spots,
but those pair spots.
I was taking a look at all the different points.
Everybody, you know, it seems like we probably have Mates,
Casey, Man City, Ninjas Vitality.
That seems like the safe five to pick right now.
Obviously Mates didn't do well,
but it seems like they've righted the ship
and we can expect them to write their way in.
So who do we think is really, you know,
fighting for that next spot?
I think it's Toten the Hole, if the points I'm looking at,
I think they're a little bit,
the points I'm looking at right now aren't fully updated.
But Toten the Hole, you know,
all these other teams that are fighting for that next spot
Don't seem like they bring the name brand value except for maybe K-Dub corp who have some name brands the question is are those you know
Still fresh brands. Yeah
It's tough it's it's it doesn't seem like we have our five it just depends on what makes you as well
They haven't seen top six locked up, but if they lose out twice
Kind of reopens up towards just a fit to be more in the point conversation
So say okay, but we are back in games man city
He is down to turn the whole we have a shot here
Right away for the sake of the drama whose kickoff door was was gone cuz I don't see a point. Do we know?
Way fuckers left us he's taking record
I'm getting briefed on on the vitality Caligari's match
So I'll wait until we have full confirmation on what's going on in that shot about this match
Let's talk about them and see if toad can continue on
Do you know if there was a kickoff call for?
Turned away
There was apparently some goal in the first four seconds of the toad man city match that got remade
And so then we started back over and it was like I think it was man city that scored
I don't know drop off
The mental the mental is just completely chalked out because DC like right off kickoff obviously
So it was in the first four seconds.
It was very, very fast.
Yeah, yeah.
So a total of the hole, they're going to try and fight back here.
But we did say, like, if there is a chance of upset,
it would probably be this one.
Katerinol has done it before just three weeks ago
in the Swiss of open four.
That was also when Nancy was a brand new team.
Because if a hundred and face time was that,
them trying to configure things out,
well, if I got total hole, holding on to this lead,
and obviously keeping the ball in the blue side of the field
for most of his first men than half.
Yeah, we haven't really seen anything out of man's city
that is maybe the worst possible bounce.
It felt like they had a member breakaway.
Sake was going to get a shot, but nothing
that would have quality would have had
with a different bounce.
And she'd be, pass.
You love to see it.
You love to see it when you're like,
I don't really have a shot.
And if I do, it's going to be saved.
There's someone on line four, but you go for the infield pass.
That's members always going to be open,
because the last defender has to sit on the goal guard.
All right, so this match here, one to one.
We can hop over by Tali versus Caligaris.
This is a, now, there was some drama
about whether there was an admin in the lobby or not.
We were going to tell you this is,
this match is official in the sanction at this point,
so by Tali with a minute remaining, four one up on Caligaris.
And looking like that's probably going to be a sweep.
Well, that'll be for game two.
Correct, so I think the overlay might be a little bit off.
So I think they went back a little bit into game two.
Their map would suggest they're in game two.
The map suggests they're in game two.
Interestingly, Vitality's overlay also
says it's up to her, which is making me question reality.
I'm almost sure.
Maybe if it hadn't been DC, they didn't change the map.
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
I see what you're saying.
Now I get it.
That makes sense.
I think they're on the case.
No, and yes, yes, no, no, because they had a 2-0 or 4-0.
We have seen 2-0.
OK, yeah, I just thought for some reason they dialed the back,
but it was because we couldn't see it because the admin wasn't there.
That's true, that's true.
So they were playing the game off-screen.
All right, all right, so let's out.
You're getting sweet.
Congrats to them moving on.
We all expected that, but turn the whole 2-1 halfway through this game
trying to make this a series.
Yeah, you need a total of the whole win now
to get all three of your wins for your over.
I don't know how to shot. I did say I did say
So we'll we'll see we'll see
Don't know again. They're only got one game and after a long time out there about on here, so
See what golfs can do gets met up by edge views a little motion
With a little motion around the ball
And oh nice little redirect shot there
there and get some quality chances here by 2-0,
making Man City jump out of a two-man jump at a time on defense.
So they're kind of held to their side of field.
Forget most of this game.
Another score after the new golfs with the shot.
A little bit two in the middle after with no boost.
We'll turn it away.
Yeah, Vorce has been creating well.
I think he created one of their previous goals.
Just there, he's just doing whatever he needs to.
That sidewall redirect, it's very easy to get nothing out of that.
Even with defenders in nets, if you put on a perfect shot,
he's able to bait both of them up.
and then usually follow up from there.
So toad good.
They do not need their goal.
They are up to one.
It's in city.
We need to get some offense going.
He'll pass is to nobody.
Or it's going to go back to work.
Nice catch there.
Nice high aerial dribble.
So no matter what, he's going to get the 50-50 challenge on it
on the offensive side.
Another opportunity.
A little bit wasted there by throwing them all,
but the back pass will keep possession.
And again, lots of control on this blue side of the field.
But actually, big clear goss has to get up early just a dozen times.
Avoid the aerial bump.
No midfield option available.
Actors does win it anyway.
Wrapped all three with the pot.
What?
What just happened?
How did that not go in?
The pitch of the post and the crossbar,
the counter on the other side.
Tomahawk, this game should be tied.
I don't know what I just saw.
I think I've seen this before.
I've been the shooter and then right after I miss,
I see the vote to forfeit in the bottom left.
And hard to blame Acrow,
who would have been the forfeitor in this sense.
Cause man, did he set that up
for what felt like for free, but.
Maybe the camera angles were playing a little bit to us.
It was a little bit of a harder shot.
We had to pinch it off the post or the wall,
but that looked free.
But instead turned the hole, throwing up another shot.
And looks like we might be tied up one-one
if they can get the ball off the ground
and killed his last few seconds.
Last chance for Man City.
And a stage of boom of the first goal for Man City,
and we're all down.
The ball don't lie.
And he did not have much boost left.
Look at nobody in Man City has anything left.
They used every last bit of it for that play.
And now they got themselves in overtime who's got the kickoffs.
to play back to HBs and go up the wall force with the challenge run but Akros right there
in that city all of a sudden starting to get some pressure, get some demos as well on the
back line, can't tell if the hole escaped.
Just seeing there was no challenge there after it felt like they had demos and gotten something
going they just let him escape as Goff's motion got ahead of that and seeing he had no touch
I'm not trying to much of anything, but it's Toad with a chance redirect, Goffs cross-court down!
Nice shot from Goffs to finish it.
Well done, Toad in the hole.
They lost it at the end at 0, and that's the one that our backbreakers normally put.
Toad in the hole, bounce right back, half a minute into that overtime to get a much needed game win,
because if they go down 2-0 after that, it's over.
The ball don't lie, but I'm not quite sure what it's saying, because I thought it was saying that
city was a better team and now it's saying toad is a better team so I don't know what does it say
a great match hey you know we might get we might get gives us three games for the underdogs here
we just have to go all the way to champions field and have to win we'll see if we get there folks
it'll take a good time so yeah what a what a match vitality does punch their ticket through there
we didn't watch the end of that one but they will be playing tomorrow so man city everything on them
if all four of our big dog teams and group you're going to make it through they got a clutch up
up here against Toten. But also every team in Europe is ruined right now for Toten the
whole because Man City if they fall, they're that fifth place team then in the points rankings
and it'll keep everyone just a little bit closer and they'll have just a little bit
more hope going into that final little bit. Yeah, definitely. I mean, Man City did probably
not deserve to win that last game after they didn't score that wide open. Hey, look at themselves
right back on top nice kickoff here they can do some kickoff moves that's
really sad just a clean wind forward and there's no cheat by towing the hole so
there's clearly one-faxing kilometers an hour yeah it's kind of an awkward kickoff
on the three side because I just feel like you always want someone cheating but
yeah like I was supposed to be a safe kickoff from tow because they said to
back yeah yeah and it clearly wasn't safe because I mean I couldn't even cheat
that hard and usually when the ball's one to the other half you're not gonna get
the first touch but he had time to just catch back up to it collect it flick it
I don't know what the plan was for the other two but I gotta play from behind
take up the new addition on team making some moves but it's turned away cost the
infield with the shot edge we's right in the face though man say he's doing a
good job there while they have been a tickets lot they've been getting in the
face not this time though the challenge turns into an infield pass out to
force well done here to follow up on that plate by little motion and forces in
the right place right time and we're all tied up. Yes Seiko was cheating up too but
if he was won by Toad to his player and a 7-1 Seiko a chance on the ball.
They're quickly forced back into their corner.
course, actually, I don't remember how an entry that's good pass, but Akro dunking right away,
does he have a flick? It felt like he set up like he had a flip, but it expired.
It sounded like, and maybe my audience let it off, that he accidentally double jumps.
Oh, maybe.
Little motion though, with the counterattack right after that mistake, kind of just midfield ball,
now they're just quick ball down, and this is a wide open midfield. After I
talked about Man City being in the face of the total lot, that's two of them.
that got away from them and told them the whole back up top yeah i don't know what acro and hb were
up to seiko seiko probably didn't get the best touch ever because he's the one who touched that right
before that opportunity but then he was also the first back he was also the closest to making the
same yeah so i don't know what acro and hb were up to during that but the wide open nets is not
going to go you know unpunished very often and ooh motion can quick it there in time seiko too
too heavy a touch so he gets no follow-up.
Acro does not boost to get back to this one.
In city, they're in a bit of trouble.
Absolutely, some demos coming out now from Goss
when Acro is back.
It's funny time to catch it, but a heavy touch.
We'll just give it right back away to Toad.
They'll keep this ball again on the blue side of the field.
Goss is trying to challenge everything to keep it alive.
Now, Warsaw take it over from the infield pass.
Stop just sitting and the crease gets the reader at the toad is dominating possession and they're making it work.
They're making everything can't leave cause just waiting there.
He was looking for a buff at first and he's like, hey, I'm wide open. Just throw me the ball.
Yeah, no one's going to be in that. Don't leave. Just hang out there and get ready to 50 it in, about 50 it, but re-rect it in.
and skin it should it doesn't have to go five games wave it can go for it could be a three
one to two it's true it's true oh yeah but right now toad is looking pretty dominant
pre-jump secos got time he's gonna play to the air motion hanging out in the air right
behind him. What type of character is this? If Toad wins this one, it has to go to 5-4
and not to do that. Yeah. That's going to go for the underdogs that only wins two and
not three. It would have to go to five and Femc wins. Yes. That's what Mancini's playing
for like they're like, hey, we had a pretty easy side of the bracket, we were top four
last time if we can secure you know a top five like in this tournament we are
looking very comfortable going to that final open where probably a top eight
couldn't even clinch it based on like what was around there but if they lose
here a lot of question marks around them as well we talked about you know that
trade and everyone's talking about how man city wanted but if man city lose
here a lot of question marks for open that final open for them as well I
I guess it would take quite the swap though definitely looks like they won it for now
But I guess you know if they do losing GK has a amazing last open. We've seen that in regions before so it's possible
But imagine it'd be like we're in the lower finals
Next week and it's GK versus Man City
That would be the good script right there. I'm gonna just take a note. Just write that down
Oh, that's a good idea. Write that down.
Yeah, write it down, write it down. Just see him. Make sure this Swiss goes the right way.
It can happen. There we go. Infield.
Acro is there, and Nancy's not done yet in this game.
Now they've got a ton of time.
Acro ready to beat something. Edgeby pass.
Edgeby's got a little recovery as he flipped, set up towards the corner,
but get himself back down the wall in order to make the pass.
I've been actually fairly standard I mean Manfield or Manfield Man City was able to get one but really just from a weird
Toad mix up and then I'm going to create if that was a great chance of Goff's good recovery and let's go of course going to try and take it out
See if he can stop the Man City offense for a minutes.
Yeah, if I forget last game and said to score to zero, then tie it up.
We can do it again here for sure.
So, Toad wants to put one extra one in.
A little bit of a pre-jump by force though, gets beat out hard.
So, Man City takes over on the offensive side, Acre versus horse.
Acre wins the first challenge, can't win number two.
Let's see if he can back them up.
Some demos coming out, but we'll push it away, play a little quarter ball.
Let him kill that crow.
How did he get him?
Here we go, man, Sidney.
Plus the quiet, the haters that just win it out here.
The pass to that crow.
That's the way to do it.
Yeah.
And then the slow breaking him down.
Going to the corner.
Yeah, 50.
Go through, get a bump, get a demo.
Just constantly kind of destabilize the defense
so that you earn yourself the space to make that pass.
And then they put it on the money in the moment.
Oh, get messy!
Oh!
Traffic in the box confuses everyone here.
A little motion going for the bump, and Akro misses it.
But Akro into Sanko.
I'm not sure why Sanko is there, which
basically forces the angle and toe and backhounds out.
It was a good play to get Akro out of position.
And he was definitely arriving late.
But then it's hard to explain why it looked like Sanko just
turned it straight into the nets.
This is a brilliant play by him, waste as much as you can, oh, beautiful play, fantastic
toad, up to one, here we go.
Can I be right twice in a table?
Oh no, come on, come on.
You can't keep it away with this, 10 years of this.
Honestly, what a heartbreaker for Man City, you work so hard, you figure it out, you're
doing the 30 second drill. It works. And then a victim of your own hands,
you're suddenly back in a losing position with 14 seconds left.
And not only that, that's two heartbreakers back to back.
They scored at zero the game previous. It wasn't an own goal,
but it was also like right off kickoff. Basically, they lost that over time.
So twice in a row, they make the epic comeback and then they fall short right
afterwards and tone the hole. You have to give them credit.
Most teams are going to crumble under that pressure when a team is coming
after you that has more experience.
You expect those teams to continue to crumble,
but Tottenham finding a way to bounce back
and get both those game wins.
Like this could have been over 3-0,
like if they just crumble, but instead,
Tottenham was right there.
Yeah.
Fear, we were talking about how Man City had the overs,
or the tie breakers at the beginning of the season,
that fell in that way that sucks for them.
Now here they are in a similar situation,
not quite a tie breaker, but like you gotta win
To continue on today, continue on those points,
like this would be such a hard breakaway for them to go out.
Yeah, I mean, in the city, you know, sometimes you can see them.
They can be in a position where they feel like they're playing to not lose.
Toad knows they can just play the win.
I mean, they have nothing to lose.
They're looking to try and get it upset.
Maybe that's going to enable them here in this lower bracket.
It's kind of interesting.
It's just man city, they need this. They move so desperately.
But we'll have to see what happens as we get into this fourth game.
To an old one game away from playing on Saturday.
Let's see.
to see.
Seiko is maybe, you know, somebody that you pick up, Man City was playing alongside Tempo.
The two days, one rub in the past, he was, it seemed like that was going to be a duo
that would never break up with the entry to be honest, but it seems like they have broken
up and Seiko's doing that better and they're looking to have pulled it down.
For now, I mean, Tota, Tota again taking a lead again and looking dangerous.
The force put it in.
Man City, man, pass against the wall.
You got to think the mental battles like the whole battle for them right now.
It really is.
And then you got to find a way to claw back again.
While Tota, the whole is like, guys, just keep the foot on the gas.
Let's get a 2 or 3 goal lead to make it so Man City cannot make another one of these comebacks.
But, see what happens as we're near and 3 minutes left in the game.
You know, Gibbs, if I had taken the over on 2 and a half, would you have also taken the over?
Or would you just send him me out?
I would send you all up because I wanted to take the over.
So I figured you would all take the under so I guess I'm gonna make an
interesting yeah but yeah well sorry just get a one-and-a-half I feel like
yeah that already been yeah that's tough so
well you know how I know what you're just gonna go I wouldn't have made the
mistake of that's true but I should see you be
You should have just James mind about the times when I just purposely threw him under a bus
But yeah, that one is sick. I will get it back for man city here at half time. They're gonna try and keep their hopes alive
Fully open that
Yeah, we're doing the assistance them around
Another clawback there man city find ways
They're always fighting.
Man City joining the Frock League, I mean Man City.
You know, I wonder how playing against an Org.
We talked about, you know, favorites and underdogs,
but also playing with an Org backing you.
It feels like you maybe have more, you know,
maybe more support, maybe more people to this point,
maybe more pressure on you.
I think all that plays into it.
into it. Ant City really want to prove that they're worth the
main plate. They've been given. Toten the Hole love their
ant plate, but I'm sure they'd also like to play for a man city
type team. That's all I'll get though. Keep the wall in the
blue soft field finally. We get a little bit of a clear, but it
goes right back. Some devils coming out, some physical play
as well. So, Toten the Hole kind of lead. It's just doing
exactly what they did. These past two games, a lot of
off it's a pressure plate.
Big stop.
I think that was a big clear by force
that he had to meet it back onto the ceiling as well.
Man City can't get anything going
to the redirect going through.
So again, we're getting down to the final minute.
So it's gonna be really, really tough at this point.
Whoever scores probably gets to win
a little bit of a shot high by Man City.
Another attempt at the net,
but there's two defenders back for Toten the Hole.
A third try is not the charm, either Toten the Hole
staying alive on defense right now.
Fancy still possession.
Another great pass, they've done that all series long,
the infield pass, you gotta think Toten
must be expecting it here at some point.
But in the season of the fakes,
maybe they can somehow fake it.
That's the way through.
That's it.
That's it.
Fake it, teaming.
There you go, the model of this.
Man City trying to pop some up, but no one's available.
He's got two members of Man City at the midfield,
just trying to keep the ball controlled on the other side of the field.
A little bit of an awkward touch there on defense.
I told him to hold, but don't get away with it.
And two members on defense, just set that foot in the shot,
and Tobacco misses one HP.
Finds a way to secure it anyway, and Man City goes up late.
Can they finally secure a win?
Can they hold on they lost this leader real fast in game three
This one was definitely deserved I talked about how they're lost last time or convenience
It was was for sure deserved with missing. They almost got close to
Not converting on that. They had had so much offensive control
For what felt like last two or three minutes and they did actually convert it
They just did this ball to hit ground and surely it'll be hitting ground
I'm going to go and get that spicy. Oh man. Hey, we went to game five. We went to game
five at the end of group A for the final match of group A. For game five, for the final
match of group B. These are all showmen. They understand how to put on a good show here.
They're doing a great job for us. And yeah, the fight with the bet is still on the line
here. That is a great line set. Which one is it? Yeah. You know what you're doing.
And the Toe Low, the Toe Low's a good team, you know?
We saw that in Open 4, they got that win over Man City,
so they're showing that they have some worth here
and they want that top eight appearance,
they want that weekend gameplay to come out
and who doesn't, right?
Like everyone wants to be playing every single day
of Rock League that they possibly can,
so Toe and the Hole gonna try and make that lower bracket run
if they can get through Champions Field.
And this is where all that experience now with Man City,
It's not a ton, but it's still more than toning the whole,
at least for 2-thirds of the team, it's not a ton.
But because of that tiebreaker, they played last split,
the heartbreaker there.
Of those losses, they kind of mold you as players,
and you then go to every other Champions field
being like, it's not as big of a deal.
The nerves are not nearly as high.
So you would think you would have to give it
to Man City here as the big question.
Yeah, definitely.
When you talk about nerves, for some reason what came to mind
I think there was video of Seiko after him and the mates won and
His teammates absolutely popping off and Seiko just kind of like yeah, oh yeah
It's another day just another day and he's clearly called here and give the first the score
And this is what he does that guys don't worry. I've done this so many times before I don't show emotion on a robot
It's the old cloud nine way, you know when they just never showed emotion and there you go
We have a seiko effect coming out in game five
And they've handled the kickoff as well, so we get to play from the lead, although so
much time up to the clock.
Definitely not the time to really adjust your playstyle too much.
They're in motion, good work here, they're in motion, they look like pass.
They saved from Seiko, the man of the hour.
There you go.
I like the idea though, like a little pre-jump as well in there, or at least that fast pop
up into that pass.
Yes. So, the hole is still attacking.
They're still trying to find their ways through.
Trying to get creative, which is always nice to see, but
just got to be careful because when you go for those plays,
it normally keeps you outnumbered.
It's on the counter attacking them to kind of lose possession
and are playing on your back after a little bit.
I just thought, HB, he went through trying to pick up a demo
and there was nobody home.
They were all rotating back the perfect time
to avoid getting demoed.
Nobody can't in that, but there is somebody camp now.
He's just waiting there.
It's going to be trying to play all of them,
and he does.
They go with the finish.
This setup was beautiful.
And that first touch on the corner like that.
And then this, to hit it with just enough power
where it pops out for a pass, it doesn't just
streak across the net, unplayable by your team.
Incredible.
Yeah, that first touch too, where he beat the first man.
And that's why he got all that space as well.
So he could just sprint down the field
and just get a free counter-attack.
He was worried by him.
So as we're doing some work here, and Man City going back to their old ways, trying to get a much needed win for them to get to top eight and try and expand that top five points lead over the rest of the field.
Do we know who Man City would play if they were able to finish it off?
The bracket noors right at the top of their head.
So they're up on this or get up for it, right?
I'll say that point because like the scarier matchup for them to get, get up quick while
so high in points.
I love really love the lava.
Not to, I mean this is me trying to curse Manson, just talking about like they already
won it.
I'm trying to generate some total goals by the way.
Yeah Manson city I believe.
Who else made through Vitality?
Vitality was...
I don't know Manson city would get really goose-eyed.
is
uh... the winner of the winner of this
we'll get reviews
no
city
we'll get pretty good
the whole
because it's based on high seat
but you said because they were because my title is a higher seat and surely a vitality is a higher seat than both
no no no man city was a higher seat than vitality i'm sorry
But by Italian was also a very high sea because of the three oh, I see yes
That's normally something I'm gonna usually
This is just creeping up though, it's only two minutes left at this point. They're gonna have to find something
Ooh, that's disgusting.
It's another one for Manzipity.
I have to say it again, is he just
angled behind or something?
It's dumb.
Oh, he gets an extra little tap into the goal.
Wow, I think they had own goal.
Yeah, we're just frail on it.
Vorst, though, at the same time, just never challenged it.
He just thought it was going wide,
but Akra just flies right around that ball.
That's a goal.
Wow, pretty.
I don't think that's a goal that you should be giving up
for Tote and Hole.
No, no, you definitely hit your side there.
Flaps put it in left play around you.
You being able to work.
That's so nice.
Not seeing the time to put it off as always.
I mean, we need to see him send everything now.
Let's take over Lee, you know, giving this team the lead.
It's so much easier to play with that cushion.
These guys have been able to, well, you've seen this pass a ton.
This play is like the views for so many goals.
It's a champion field golf, man.
The experienced players, whoever has more experience,
they always have the edge of these matches, and we see it.
It was back and forth so tight for the first four games,
and now all of a sudden, you hit this field, and it's different.
It's just different, and Nancy, they're showing their worth here.
It's one of those moments on a Friday where I usually say,
all right, let's go watch a different match.
It's competitive, but there is no other.
We get to all watch this and enjoy Man City celebrating.
Hopefully they're not celebrating this yet.
We get to celebrate.
They get to celebrate in 58 seconds.
Yeah.
Those of them, the work is just beginning.
It's the big weekend.
Yeah, top four last time.
Now they're going to go kind of to a slower bracket,
but they are still a force down there.
If this one spills wide, that's right towards chance there
to have these creep within three.
Instead every chance that they don't score is just more time wasted on this clock in man city
Looks like they will secure this and move on all this this goes in maybe this is another one
You know that goes in. Yeah, of course
Likely there's hope but not this morning 20 on the clock to score four goals would be unbelievable
Man city find it away find in their form just at the right time on the clock strikes midnight
And here we go.
Just the right time for me.
That's what I needed.
Dude, I needed a clutch up.
Imagine thinking that the underdog team
should have won three games.
I couldn't.
Like, who would do that?
Man, that gives us a fool.
Like, what's going on here?
Congratulations to Man City.
And big shoutouts to Toad as well.
We're talking about that from Man City's perspective here.
But what a performance from them getting to game five
in that circumstance.
One game away from being top eight in Europe
is something so few teams.
so few players have ever been able to claim.
And here they are, folks, a great performance.
And we'll see them again, I'm sure, in open number six.
But that sets our teams against.
We're ready to go tomorrow.
Yeah, we got a solid eight teams for sure.
But we had to have some drama, right?
Like at the very end, we got our champions field,
which is great to see by Talibah taking care of business.
That also happened during this block.
Because it happened so quickly that we didn't talk about it
much, except when we talked about food issues, I think.
at the time so Vitality puts in in the forefront as always showing why they
were open for champions getting the job done pretty comfortable here. It was
12 to 1 goals in that matchup so Vitality making making dinner out of
polygar is there. I thought it was a big one goal. They got it at least when the
game wasn't over you know they had to have this game tied 1-1 so maybe they
believed for a brief moments when we just got done watching Man City.
So at the beginning, that first goal that we were watching by Todd,
you wouldn't have that one happen.
It was great to watch.
Infield Passive was great by Man City.
Yeah, we said seven of those.
Yeah.
To an all though, we're creeping there.
You know, good challenges, good 50-50 challenges.
When we played a lot of offense and getting some clutch victories as well.
After giving up leads was absolutely huge for them when game two and game three that way.
here right here with a like an
unfortunate own goal really by
Man City, but. We see meant to
be battled back in game forward.
That was also a close one. It
could have been there, but instead
it goes Jenkins field and that's
when the players shine the
experienced player shine in Man
City showing up big in game five
Group B will be ninjas and
pajamas, Carmen core, Manchester
City and Vitality. The four big
teams, let's get just said, did
emerge victorious. We'll see them
victorious. We'll see them play tomorrow. Group A a bit more exciting. Maybe some teams
that we thought we're going to make it out that we're now learning don't have what it
takes or have struggled to find it here on the day. GK Esports most notably dropping
out in five to KDOP Corp there and Gritty Goose taking out Magnifico to make a top
eight experience, top eight appearance there with Esports going to be the story tomorrow.
We're going to talk about how is this team? Where do they come from? Who are they? How
are they in this spot? I'm excited to watch them there. Right now, in 10th as far as points though, fifth place is an eight-point
threshold. So, can whip, get back into that conversation. It's a very, very tight race there.
We're looking at that fifth spot in Europe, which does go to Paris and to the World Championship.
So, we'll get to see those teams playing tomorrow. Lots on the line and the bracket.
Looking stacked, looking spicy. We'll play four matches tomorrow and five matches on Championship Sunday.
But each of those matches tomorrow going to be an exciting one here fear. Yeah.
Definitely. I mean, I think I'm looking towards the upper bracket.
K Corp versus Gentlemates.
That's definitely a big one, but elimination may be more important.
Another Corp KDop Corp versus team vitality.
You know, it's an old vitality members versus vitality in the lower brackets.
That'll be juice. So that's matchable day.
That's match of the day right there.
Come on, right now with Alphal versus Zen.
It's giving me a lot of fun.
Listen, if KDAPCorp, some of it's vitality, gentlemen, some of it's CarmenCorp.
I think we finally get it.
We can KDAPCorp for this CarmenCorp.
As I'm saying it out loud, I'm believing it less as I'm realizing just the crazy results
that have to happen.
Gentlemen over KC doesn't seem like that.
That's a good match where I feel like I go either way.
Vitality over KDAPCorp though with how strong vitality is looking right now.
That is, that is a rough, it's rough for everybody.
The vitality is already in the lower bracket.
It is but ninjas and pajamas to huge win versus vitality. They get a whippy sports
But who knows we'll see if whip can continue that crazy run that they are having but because I think they also beat ninjas and pajamas in
Swiss so that's why whip is here. So see if they can do it again
We'll see they got it again folks if you want to watch these teams play get your tickets to Paris folks
It's gonna be a great one. I'm excited for it
I hope that we are all in the building when we watch history get made there
I'm excited for it. Let's talk about, let's take a look at the schedule again. I believe the schedule was slightly incorrect. Just a moment ago. Here is the schedule of matches. We will play man city versus gritty goose will be first thing tomorrow morning. Get up or versus vitality coming right after that. Then we'll see Ninja pajamas versus whip and Carmen Corp versus gentlemen.
your fear. Yeah, I think I'm looking at whip as, you know, a total week. I forgot toad's
team name toad's full team name, but they're totally the whole. Yes. Totally the whole
whip is like the total in the hole where they get a good round in the Swiss. It gets them
an upper bracket. They kind of, you know, deal with their lower level opponents to get
that top six. And then we usually see them drop out. So ninjas and pajamas, candid. They
did it in Swiss. Can they do it in up around with a full best of seven? You know, there's
a couple of wins. If we can
do it, it's exciting. But
usually we see those teams
just kind of dropped through
and then my match, obviously
like outside of a KDOT
Corp in Vitality, but we have
a Carmine Corp versus the
Mates. You know, viewership
is going to be at an all time
high for that one. Huge fan
bases on both those teams and
it matters so much for the
Mates. They need as many
points as they possibly can
get right now. They are tied
for fifth, so they
desperately need that win
game. We'll see if they can get it done tomorrow is play off Saturday. All of those teams will be
playing some of the plans for their tournament flights. This is going to be a lot of fun. 4 30
p.m. Central European time is when that pre show kicks off. We'll have the matches speaking off
at 5 p.m. Thank you all so much for watching. We'll see you tomorrow.
We can start it, start it, get it!
Oh, now this guy going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
LA's can be a big test for a young homeowner turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
You said if the garage is full, they go to the overflow lot.
I heard them. I was right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming a parent's but we can't protect your home in order when you buckle with us
I think you might have brought the wrong car. We had the red convertible
I
lost in the dark I used to feel so hollow
but now we're alive like stars in the sky
wherever you go I'll follow
just give me a sign I'll step by your side
make the most of this out we'll borrow
close your eyes and hold on tight
let's live like there's no tomorrow
Time goes a little slow when my arms around you
Realize
I'll find you for somebody I don't ever want to lose
Anywhere I may
If you never found me
If you fall asleep
I'm just lying wide awake
And making some funny memories
Weird part
Lost in the dark
to feel so hot
but now I'm overlighted
like stars in the sky
wherever you go I'll follow
just keep me inside
I'll step out of sight
make you lost in the sun
we follow
we close our eyes
no more time
but let's make life as long
tomorrow
let's make life as long
tomorrow
you
