I
$10 in the wind
Bending over backwards just to let you in
I told you that one day ain't never enough
Tell me I hate you I still call you up
We don't got trust we can never have love
I was put in the hours hours hours hours hours at once
I've been playing in the hours, hours, hours, hours I want
And it's coming down and down and down and down and down and down and never
I was playing in the
and it's coming down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
I was running
I was running
I'm sick of fighting the things that you said
I don't want to burn all our bridges ahead
I'm tired of going to bed when you left me unregistered
Turn up the noise in my head
I told you that one day ain't ever enough
Tell me I hate you, I still call you up
If we don't got trust we can never have love
I was put in the hours, hours, hours, hours I what?
You were calling me a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, yeah
I was put in the hours, hours, hours, hours I what?
And it's coming down and down and down and down and down and down and down
I was running in the
You'll call me lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I've been put in the almost hours, now it's almost time to part
And it's puttin' out in now, now, now, now, now, never
I was puttin' in the
here at the Paris Major for the Rocket League or not World Normal Staff.
The Rocket League Championship Series at the DeFence Arena.
We are continuing on through groups and it's going to be action packed.
You know it's to be true. I'm Lee and I'm going to be hanging out in the pit once again, talking to coaches, talking to players.
Yesterday's storylines was all about the little dogs fighting for the scraps and of course French players looking incredible.
The question is do those storylines continue today? Only one way to find out to get to the action.
Day 2 of the Paris Major, the French did look excellent yesterday, but so did they boys!
And they're having a great day on day number one.
We'll see if they can keep it up.
Every other region looking to bounce back.
Yeah, North America and Europe go 8-0 versus the smaller regions, and we'll see if there's
any bounce back.
Yeah, especially Mina.
We got a little bit of a tease of it on occasion, you know, we had the 2-0, or MIBR, almost,
got it over the line against the energy, but that seems to be the case, doesn't it?
Almost fucking done.
So close on that one.
Twisted Minds also going to game five against Shopify Rebellion.
They've got a match here right at the start of our day
going up against Injures of Pajamas.
So group C action going to be hot here on the presses.
And we got every group going to close out the groups today.
We'll know which teams are going through, which teams.
They're one team out of each group.
We'll be eliminated here today.
So we'll be saying goodbye to a few teams here.
They're playing for lots of points.
They're playing for lots of money at the Paris Major.
We are on the road to the World Championship.
Belief alluded to it there and these points are important for those teams either for seeding maybe for qualification for some of them for last chance
Qualifiers will talk about a little bit, but also makes a hundred two thousand dollars doesn't hurt
Oh, definitely doesn't hurt listen. I'll take a little bit of that put that away and also spend a bit
Actually, you're not gonna get any of it. That is only for the team
I was saying if I was in that position, of course, I'm not gonna get any of it. Thank you for the clarification there. We
Start job. Yeah, we've seen you play on stage before it. It's not pretty
Speaking of pretty things on the stage though the master
We got the park there, Perry. Yeah, it's been absolutely lovely have that opening up every single series
And of course we haven't seen sovereign heights yet because we haven't gotten to the best of sevens
But it's the first time ever that is in the RLCS rotation. So it's nice, too
And I do appreciate men feel dust not use a manfield night
That is a game one map. So, you know, get a little change of scenery there
I like how we are going from like the lighter maps all the way to its nighttime now as it was the very end
But sovereign heights. It's also like it's like it's
This one we kind of like the sun goes down and it kind of comes back up and then goes
down.
We have five days of Rock League action here at the Paris Major.
We're on day two.
This is the 21st of May, I think it's the month we're in here.
Group stage action concluding today.
We'll have to play off the next three days.
The doors are going to be open tomorrow at noon local time.
If you haven't gotten your tickets, you can get them now.
You can walk through those doors if you're within range of the building.
I hope you are.
Get the codes.
Get the tickets, folks.
There's a few left there.
I'm really excited for you to be in the building when that one happens.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
The matches kick off at 2 p.m.
So you got two hours there after doors open.
We got some great Rockley action yesterday.
Hopefully we'll get more of it today.
Let's walk through the top 10 plays presented by Progressive Bates.
Take it away.
Exactly.
We do have 10 great plays.
You know, I could get a lot of rock being played yesterday on the RCS.
Starting at number 10.
You didn't see this much on MIBR.
It's a little team talking about Mellow.
Give it go.
Razer.
Astro.
Back to Razer.
Back to Astro.
And that's what you needed.
This is a good play.
This is also the best goal of this series against Man City and if you're a Sam fan
This is what you want to see out here number one seed is being creative
just special with the ball and get into the bottom right corner and
You never really we just didn't see that all your stay from them. We need to see that more warm over here number nine
This is also a classic shot. It's a classic play now. It's both far down
Doesn't happen over time a winner
I think this is for the 80 in game four against shot by rebellion to push this to game five
And it's just a simple classic bang a lot of players don't do that
You can't hold your flip for that long folks at home. So you can do that try that out
You can actually have a better chance of pulling it off in your little resets that you'd be attempting over here gang number five
It might be our first NRG
Rageball great save beat slow coming out the inside of the net
It's just simple play right there dead
This guy's a little dribble by the way, he's on the finish put the battle ball up
And I wasn't looking at good
Incredible save by him. He thinks he does enough
He's been a great ball itself, he comes right back in, and then slams the door, and after
that, you ran away without looking at number seven here.
Wave like this one.
This happened in about the 442 mark of game number four, top of our boy, Swinton Mines.
TRK, hold it there.
Beautifully.
Crust is in right back to the bottom right corner, that's what you'd like to see.
I'll be the greatest player for Mina in his history.
It's a beautiful touch right there.
And they'll say, he keeps on doing that, Swinton Mines, don't be in a good spot.
Number six, you got big HB punting up high, HB up to seal, bring it back down.
Top right corner slammer, Jammer, looking at number four by way.
We talking right about that on the battle bill, because it's the one thing the battle bill can't do.
Look at the speed, man!
Almost, almost, almost, it's illegal.
I mean, it feels illegal because that's the only thing the battle bill can do.
Every other time Daniel, hey yesterday's not the best, but this was great.
And that's not even what you need.
Beast mode at half point just taps it back in, but after I mean, the speed off the battle bill,
it almost feels kinda legit.
Looking at number three, Zach took about seven months off the game and said,
I can come back next to be top 10 in NNA, maybe even top 15 in the world.
There's a double reset right by R8, and this is all right, but it's going to be a comeback.
SSG with a 3-0 in game number three.
R8 is this court, two goals back to back.
It's X at no serve.
You will not gain any momentum.
Let me do it on five by some cross-map.
Double reset gets by three.
And that's just simple and plain for the young man from America.
Look at number two, the match of the day.
In my estimate, shot by a billion twisted minds when the game got tight.
When twisted minds felt like they're taking the momentum, go for it, get bumped in there.
Back in the top right corner is a beautiful plan.
Listen, sometimes you need to look at it.
Look, put yourself in position.
Take your time.
At that point, just let the ball come and sit right on top of you.
And that's your top right corner.
And then number one, Ato, I was talking to him yesterday.
He said, Facebook, if this shot, you can call me the best in the world.
Ato, it's a great shot.
I'm not calling you the best in the world, but it's a beautiful shot.
Don't cut open.
It opens up the score early on against Vitality.
This dog is in here right by the ball.
The entire team.
That's your progressive top 10.
It's a great play from all the young men.
And everyone's gotta be afraid, because that too, he's back.
He's looking like he's split oneself, and that was fantastic.
That was great.
How much higher does Daniel's skim go if it goes straight in?
It probably goes number one.
I cut that one so fast.
I would have to go.
I actually would have went and got the number for it.
Yeah, fast, it would have went in.
But because it was kind of glitchy.
That was a pretty cool one.
That was the best of the action yesterday, the best moments.
But if you watched that and you're like, OK, I saw some cool rock.
I don't know what happened, because I didn't get to watch it yesterday.
Let's get you caught up on kind of how
the groups unfold. We're about halfway through. These are the major contenders. They're all
the teams who came to Paris with the hopes of holding the trophy and being crowned Paris
major champion. You'll notice wild cards logo is sort of preemptively great out here. They
are going to play today. We're going to see them play rock and league in the tournament,
but they have been eliminated from the contention. Yes, no matter what, they will get fourth place
in their group, unfortunately for them because they play K corp and they lose the head to head
head to Vitality plus foot.
So even if they go one and two, they would still be in fourth
place.
And OC has also lost their second spot because of that as well.
But this is how the group's unfolded.
The group A was the only group we really dove into the second
round of yesterday.
So I'm going to cover some of that action here.
Wildcarts started their day off against Vitality.
We had, I mean, is it fair to say we had any hopes?
Here's Shogun, let me know.
Vitality just looks so good.
Yeah, I mean, this is a horror group for them, isn't it? Vitality, KC as well.
It's just not something you want to be getting into immediately, but they had that.
It's a typical OCD. They had glimpses.
But they've always got glimpses.
Yeah. When we ever get more than that, Vitality.
I mean, they will be more than happy with their performance,
but that does also now mean that Wild Cardoff set up.
It will be them versus Power to try and qualify for Wild Power's hate watch.
The greatest hate watch.
I mean, they're not the greatest hate watch.
That's a good, pretty good hate watch.
She's in the fucking industry.
No, but now cannot a Canterbury Bank Tom Bulldogs or just not go flat in the white in the walk in the potential
Um, what's that black?
Okay, I don't want to see him but in this match of particular KC by Tauley KZ
I mean EU number 40 games. Yeah, but that's how you number one KC got their revenge
Yeah, they've already clinched top six for K-Corp. That was a huge rematch from the Boston major where they were both in the same
Group as well that by Tauley won last time
So we know they went all the way to the Grand Finals last time and K Corp do the same. Yeah, we'll see okay
K Corp again. Yeah, this is a big bounce back for a team
That's yeah has been considered the final boss of Rockley for a long time
But there's been some big question marks for coming in the back half of this season
So they're looking to turn those question marks into exclamation points here in Paris
Let's talk about group B and how things went over here made in Brazil versus man city was our first match of
of the day. This was sort of a very different group with NRG. Sort of de facto where thinking
he was going to claim that top spot. So for the other teams, when they're not playing NRG,
these matches are so important. Yeah, this was a big two versus three matchup here and a lot of
defense on both sides of the field. Problem was, main Brazil played fantastic defense. The problem is
they had to play about 90% of the time on defense. They could never get onto the offensive side of
the ball. So they got shut down pretty hard by Man City. Yeah, they going into NRG said,
They made Brazil, man.
They came out swinging four goals in particular.
And that kind of got shut down.
I mean, we thought we said that, hey, you know,
it's energy's match to win, not if they lose to someone else.
And if they made Brazil, would it even win this one in five?
Oh, man, they completely changed the screw.
And with one minute left in game four,
it looked like they were going to be the ones to win it.
One goal up, and then, well, yeah, just sort of went away.
Energy happens.
The plumber is just too strong.
It came out, and after that game number five,
I mean, you see the score line.
In the back on the finish, Bamalvo got put up.
He's been laughing.
He's been testing it.
He needs to get rid of it.
And then he said, listen, let me go back to the main car.
Let me settle down.
Let's get back to winning here, guys.
And RG, of course, plowed on like Shogun.
Shogun put it.
That's that simple.
They are inevitable.
It does not matter how good the opponent's looks.
Somehow, energy finds a way to win.
And that's why they are world champions.
They continue in that domination here in Paris.
We'll get to see them play a little bit later on today.
Let's talk about group C here.
This one's the most exciting group for a lot of people.
This was arguably the match of the day.
Shopify versus Twisted Minds, a shootout back and forth,
lots of overtime, and Shopify finding a way over the number one seed for Mina.
Momentum, momentum, momentum, rebellion, split two.
They look like a new team compared to Boston split,
and they showed it here versus a very good Twisted Minds
that a lot of people have gone very far in this tournament.
They got blown out in game two, but they battled back to take this.
They're very impressive as well, because you'll find they're usually a team.
The first kill of the season general always seems like they start off so well in a season and then they just fade into the distance and it looked like it was in the same case this year.
Start off so well at the kickoff line and now they are right back in contention and they look so dangerous.
They do look dangerous. Now group C's still got a lot of action left to play so we'll see how that group settles at the end of today.
Group D though, exciting stuff over here as well. Let's talk about R8 in particular.
They were the story of the tournament.
It felt like coming into this event bates,
but they dropped one here early to SSG.
That may as a matchup problem.
All right, they got the potential.
We saw playing a little bit of the World
Championship of Rock East 410.
You see the flashes, but when you're playing against SSG,
you're playing with that type of aggression
that already presents on the field.
You will get caught out in SSG.
There are built to be teams like that.
In the back in the Mount Braville,
had a couple of the most definitely averaged
at least two in the series.
It has really set the tone.
And there's moments like this from Zach.
This is right back.
Should we take away the momentum?
Are you out in this game number three that they were going to tie it on?
They were going to take the series and as I just put them away.
Very high scoring match, but a lot of wide open nets from RA to get a little bit
too antsy to tie up games and they gave up just a little bit too much.
And Space Station walks away champs.
Yeah, Space Station looking poised to take this top spot in the group.
We'll see if they can finish it off here on day two.
Get that number one spot to buy in the playoffs, not have to play on Friday
in front of the crowd there.
But group, we've talked about it a few times.
Let's let's kind of like make it clear for the people at home why this wild card being locked in the last place is so
So impactful for their region. Yes. So again for tiebreaker purposes
It goes to head to head wild card the only team they can be is k-corp, but they will never be tied with them
They'll be at one and two so they are eliminated in fourth place
And that is also why k-corp is in first place because they win the head hit versus both the one and ones
But while card being in fourth means they lose their lcq spot and we'll bring up those numbers here
in a second. And these are your updated numbers as of right now, but OCE no matter what Sam or
SSA will tie then they're both in group B whoever comes in third there will get to that fourth place
spot tied at nine points. OCE actually loses the tiebreaker to all other regions here as well. Wow.
We won't go deep into that, but so no matter what OCE has lost their lcq spot. So because
made in Brazil and five fears are in the same group and only one team can be eliminated from group B
Exact one of them has to make it out of that group, which means that they'll take that tops
Yeah, so then they will be in charge of the fourth place, but there's still more to be worked around
But that match in particular is huge made in Brazil versus five years could be for an LCQ spot
Okay, cool. Well, let's focus we've been talking about a lot of fun things here on the show
So maybe not as fun things for OC fans in this particular situation
But let's talk about a thing that's good for all of you, though.
The Rattatouille bundle is in the shop right now.
You can go and get that anyone can cook goal explosion.
This is the let them cook moment.
Let's talk about Shopify's physical play yesterday, mates.
I mean, Shopify, we talked about it.
It's just that the plan is so consistent,
and they're really just making it to where they're making
it so tough.
That's a great 50-cofer in particular.
It's really me that's charging those avenues.
Troubles right here, taking space, being physical by that.
If you ever get stuck, that's simply not going to be quick enough.
And if they're playing at this type of level,
they really do have a great chance of winning this event.
This is the best, honestly, I've ever seen a first killer
team playing all three phases of the game.
And this physical right there, trusting one another.
This could be tough to beat.
It was a very difficult group.
And to us, the minds were the slight favorites
over all the other teams in that group,
but now a rebellion is in charge.
First killer's still looking for that first major win.
Is this the squad to do it with?
We're in a hole.
And one way to find out and continue to play here in Paris.
We've had some crazy days yesterday, some good gameplay.
If we had to put some spotlights on some players here,
Gibbs, who were the players of the day on day one?
Well, you have to look at K-Corp first,
and you got to look at the captain.
You got to look at the tier.
He looks so good.
K-Corp has already qualified top six to the only team
so far to do that, and a lot of that
is because of the tier's play.
Setting up his teammates, getting them confident.
That is what the tier does.
He's been mister consistent on this team
for what feels like five years at this point.
But plays like this, the pass played down to Atto,
get him confident, and this team is a different beast.
That's exactly what the other tier does.
Look at that brilliant match into a flip-recycle.
Such a great mechanical player that gets overlooked at times.
And it took them some time as well,
because they were looking at a sweep to the very start of the day.
They were really looking for, but that's he switched it on.
And the team looked great.
He looked here. He felt very good yesterday.
Who was the spotlight for you, Chover?
Oh, well, I'm going to stick with Europe on this one.
I'm going to go for my boy Seiko over on Man City.
And it all comes down to me for one big moment,
because this is a team that was struggling in their series
MIBR. Everyone's struggling against MIBR. That's not necessarily a new thing. But right here, you've got OTs, you've got him trying to get these devils. He's just finding ways to make a difference. But this is the play that locked this in for me. The 0 seconds, great out launch forward, get over to it. That's not enough for this guy. Let's go and win that over time as well.
as well. Korean, as you like, Seiko, the story of the season right now, over in Europe. His
reemergence, his entire season, the trades, it doesn't care. He walks up and he's too busy
trash talking CJ. He didn't want to talk about the series itself. He's got his priority trying.
Man, he's got them right on, right in these shows because when you get traded from GK,
they're like, oh, he can't perform. Even though he did perform in Boston, but they still let him
go. He's clearly won that trade. Man, Ceddy's won that trade. He's been playing sensation all
the whole entire season.
You know, you know, he's hungry to get back on that stage,
get that win again here.
Is Europe going to sweep the players today here?
Bates, who you got?
Oh, no, they're not going to sweep the players today.
Because, of course, the one of the twisted mind
shopper, at least one of these players has to be on there.
And if not, it's the greatest player
to ever play in day one.
OK.
Oh, my goodness.
I don't think that's a guy that can master his guy
on day number one.
And they couldn't imagine, yes, they open up the score,
but it's a simple play.
I mean, I'm lucky that players are
the shooting the ball off the ground.
Ground shooter is coming back.
It's a lost order.
And that's what you needed.
Great recovery, so chained as you get the TRK off the wall, setting this team up to be great.
And then once again, he also can play defense to monkey move.
LJ finds the time, FK says don't worry, I'll cover everything else.
And at this point, game number five, I gotta make the play.
You bursted me, monkey move.
Monomy, Monomy, who's gonna win this one?
FK sets him up, easy mo, he dribbles it, tied up yet again.
SR needs to make another play.
FK beats one, sets up LJ, LJ's been quiet, gives him a chance.
FK makes a play, monkey move there.
FK slams the door, two big goals in game number five, two winning, leading his team the victory.
First kill is looking great.
Honestly, other than that final clip there, I feel like you could have almost,
I think you mean, or you could put almost any of those FK clips into the top 10.
Like even that first goal is the perfect placement. It's just a ground ball, but like you said,
like it's a fundamental that doesn't get played enough. I feel like we should highlight it more.
So maybe if we put those in the top plays more, maybe they'll go for them more often there.
First kill will look great on day one. Can he keep it up on day two, folks?
Speaking of competitions here, we up here have been doing a nice competition for predictions.
We did that yesterday. We'll continue on through the rest of the day.
We can give you an update on the scoreboard for the five of you in chat. That care.
The way that the scoring works, you might be like, wait, you didn't play enough matches,
we didn't have enough points here. We've modified the scoring system a little bit.
So you get two points for every win. Okay. Every correct prediction.
You get one point if you make an incorrect prediction, but it goes to game five.
So if you made a prediction like, I think this team is going to win,
It goes all the way to game five. Hey, you know what you were almost right
You get one point for that right and if less than five casters predicted a match to go a certain way
They get an underdog pick bonus and they'll get four points. Okay
I didn't get any underdogs yesterday. Yeah, that also works for chat too. It doesn't work for you too, yeah
When there's underdogs chat because right now you're not looking too good
But you know who's not looking too good shogun and we added a little stipulation a little last place punishment
show then so you gotta be a little worried can you pull out of your little
coming for any of these companies?
No, I don't.
So at the World Championship the first crowd day whoever comes in last here
will wear the bucket hat for a meet and greet for fans.
I don't think I'm going to sell my head, Bob.
And we'll have to wear this lovely ducky tie.
Wonderful.
So everyone will know how dumb you are Shogun.
We really need that. Yeah, so this is a trial right here.
He's using less so much. It's all that she looks like it's
all the way. Rocking four more days to play. Take it off. Yeah,
this is the record. Yes, this is these will be awarded
awarded at the end of the competition on Championship Sunday
there folks. But Championship Sunday coming up soon. Championship
Sunday for Paris as well as Championship Sunday for the
the World Championship. It is just around the corner folks. We teased it yesterday. Let's
give you some more information about the World Championship.
in Dickey's arena for Texas. We're going back. We've been there. It's tried and true.
And there's a lot of history in this building. There's a lot of history, especially for one
player in particular. He's going to be incredibly happy about this. I believe I'm being told,
yes, I'm being told we got his reaction. He's very happy. He's a two-time world champion in that
That is undefeated.
He is undefeated.
I got trauma from that building.
What's the third?
We'll see if we can get up there, folks.
But yes, that is where the location will be.
The rumors have been confirmed.
We will be going to the station.
And then they finally do it at home.
I got trauma from that building.
He does not like it.
It's a great venue.
It's a great fans.
I got trauma.
A picture of you just sitting there from the desk afterwards,
just like, man.
I got trauma from that, but I love so quickly
that laugh that laugh.
Folks, we've got just a few minutes
before kickoff here for day two of the pairs major.
Let's start getting you set up for this first match.
We're going to be starting off in group C.
Nidget's Pajamas, Shopify, Rebellion, Twisted Minds,
and TSM.
We'll be playing on both our stream
and the alternate stream.
We have two streams going on.
So if you want to see all the action,
make sure you go over to push.tv slash RLE Sports.
Had it pulled up on a second monitor, on a second TV there.
As you were hosting the alternate stream yesterday,
how'd it go?
It was actually really good fun.
It's just a nice, relaxed vibe over there.
game. I'm not sure I'm
going to dig into this. I'm
going to go get some of the
coaches and players to have
some interviews and everyone
seems to be having a very,
very good time. But I like the
daily. Yes, they TSM fake
kickoff not once, not twice
three times in a row. Conceded
every single time. Oh no. No.
They didn't seem to care. Well,
folks, if you want to see if TSM
keep it up, they're kicking the
show off on the alternate stream
against Shopify rebellion. We
will close out our broadcast
But let's continue things on here with our group ninjas in pajamas versus twisted minds going to be our first match
of the day
Groups he closed it out for they and start the day here for K2
Pajamas they played CSM and they walloped them and his 13 goals in three games
But now if their first test of the schedule, they have two very difficult matches today and it begins versus twist much
That's the man, he has Twisted Minds, TM, he got Mucky Moon right there, we just saw him on there, he's happy about the World Championship announcement, of course, he wants to just start building that momentum too, forward two decades arena, and he's got to get a big win right here against NIP.
Twisted Minds, take it to the stage here, look at the bounce back, after a rough loss on day one, Ninjas Pajamas though, are ready for him.
My name is Jorius, I don't play for Ninjas and Pajamas with OVNCR.
Christian brings a lot of mechanics. I wouldn't say I'd call him a loose cannon, but he's like an ace card.
He can win you a series with just his mechanics alone. And older when he's on his day,
like, I think he might be one of the best players in the world. I think he might be top three.
He has such a read on the game when he's feeling like it. It doesn't matter who you put him up against.
On his day, he'll be everyone.
The best thing for us is our team chemistry in and of the pitch. We find each other on the pitch
and we also have a great time off there, so that keeps the mental high, the spirit's high,
confidence is out, great.
We had a very productive bootcamp.
We were here at the Gentleman's in Paris.
Even though some people see us as kind of a really hard group,
we feel like we have the capabilities to be first in our group,
and that's what we're aiming for, and we think we shouldn't get anything less.
We don't feel like we have to prove anything to anyone.
We know how good we are, and we're going to show you here.
Hanging out with LBP from Ninjas in Pajamas, what's going on man, you feeling good?
Feeling good, feeling confident, you know, Twisted Minds, these guys are on our Scrim
roster, so I'm feeling pretty confident against these guys, looking forward to a good series.
That's awesome, I just want to ask in general, I mean you guys had a series yesterday, it
went the way I think most people expected it, the way you thought it would, how in general
has Paris been for the boys, been able to get out, has it been all work, no play?
No, it's been good, you know, we had a really good bootcamp for a week, we did stuff like
bowling, golf, so a lot of off-screen team activities.
That's how we form a team environment
and establish our identity as a team.
So that's what we're doing as we're building on this event
and that's what we're gonna execute.
No, and I'm looking forward to it again.
I love this squad.
I love the vibes that come from you guys.
Coming in today, did the vibes change at all
maybe from yesterday,
knowing that it was a lighter schedule yesterday?
Going into today, I think the boys
got a little bit more excited.
Today we've got some actually probably better opponents
all respect to CSM, but a little bit more tricky,
so a little bit more exciting.
Yeah, I guess, did you feel like the work
got a little bit harder for your end
or was it kind of just the same patterns
that you usually run with a team for success?
Yes, usually the same patterns that I execute with the boys
go for it today, it doesn't change.
Cool.
You know what, I'm not going to interrupt that flow anymore.
I'm going to let you get back to it.
Good luck in your matches.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
It's been a hard journey, though we were seed one,
but we won the Lester regionals, so we are happy about it.
We played like top 12 at the Booster Major, so it's bad, obviously, even if we had Vitality
and Karin Karpi in the group, we have to win against a great team, so we were focusing
on playing our games. We have to play our game play, so we practice a lot, like maybe
seven hours a day.
Sometimes, like when I play ranked, I just feel like the midi team can dug out, so they
respect me.
I don't think about it.
I just try to stay humble as much as I can.
Even if it's maybe easier than the Boston Major, we still have to stay serious and play
at 100% all the time.
Yeah, I just want to still win. Major, world, regional, everything. Yeah, that's my goal.
The Paris Major, two statements will show the world who's the best.
Interesting to hear him say, when other players are pushing against me, they respect me because
I'm a goat. But also, I try to say how long.
It's hard when I got these muscles.
You know, it's just hard.
It's hard when we call him Thanos.
Like we literally call him Thanos.
We started trying to flex a little bit while trying to change the shirt there.
Come on.
It's hard when I'm at two world championships, major championship of many times.
I think he has the most earnings of all time.
I think he does.
I think he's recently taken that.
Yeah, I do also want to point out it says that
Novos best major result is fifth through sixth. That is only a 3v3 result
That is the current reigning rocket league 1v1 champion of the world such pedigree on this team with TRK
One of the most decorated players from the region you think twisted minds got all the pieces they need to win here in Paris
Yeah, they're used to bouncing back. I mean, this was not an easy split for anybody over in meaner stallions
and already coming ahead and getting grand finals in the very beginning.
You would have thought, alright, maybe Tristan Falcons.
A lot of people thought Tristan was going to lose out,
because Falcons surely had to get a bounce back here.
But no, I mean, back against the wall.
Alright, we'll just go win two of these in a row.
No problems whatsoever, so yeah.
Tristan Lines, they have already got experience with this.
They lost yesterday. They won't be thinking about it.
They had a lot of game five losses across the two majors so far,
and they've only played one series in Paris,
Can they find a way to win it before champions field or can they find a way to finally clutch up on that most important map folks?
Let us know you think it's gonna win and we'll make our picks up here on the desk
I was I was provided with a ninjas of pajamas Steve wearing a ninjas and pajamas Jersey
For the person who wants to predict ninjas of pajamas here
So Shogun since you get to start the picks you get to have Steve. Do you predict ninjas of pajamas?
No, I don't think I'm going
This is start dissuading me, but it is but monkey moon just heard where the world championship is
He's gonna be electric. Yes, because monkey into a little championship
Changer I'm going to just to mine. So sorry Steve. Okay. Oh
In this matchup, I mean
I think Twisted Mind just showed a class that was truly exceptional.
Is that extra?
I mean, a chopper, I'm going to just act much better in that sense.
So give me a Twisted Mind.
I think we think they have a really good chance of making a deep run in Pyrrhea.
So, Stephen, I'm so sorry.
So sorry, you didn't ask for that.
Also, I'm so sorry, I'm picking Twisted Minds.
Let's see if the coin gets to have Steve here.
Twisted mines on one side, Ninja's Pajamas on the other.
And it comes up, Twisted mines, Steve, I'm so sorry.
Nobody went, this is the Pajamas here.
Chat could, chat could chat.
No, not even Chat's got Steve.
Not even Chat's got Steve.
We need somebody to have Steve's back.
Do the boys on Ninja's Pajamas have Steve here?
We're about to find out folks.
Day one was an electric day two.
Hopin to live up to the expectations here folks. Let's kick it off in style
It's ninjas of pajamas versus the twisted mines to kick off day two of the Paris major
Steve is literally the only believer in ninjas in pajamas
Now it's time for them to make believers out of everybody and make an example out of twisted minds in
And what much does to a must win here?
Game one brought to you by Progressive as we kick it off.
Steve did not deserve that.
We might need to have a conversation afterwards.
That was unbelievable.
That being said, though, maybe NIP can turn a few heads.
Right now this twisted mind squad has just been so dominated
in their own region.
It's hard to really kind of count them out.
Obviously, you know, you expected a little bit more from them
going up against Rebellion yesterday,
but it's still a great series.
And they look like favorites here,
unless NIP can change that narrative.
We'll see how things start off.
Two players in this series who each scored seven goals
for their respective squads.
Yesterday, granted, one against much stiffer competition.
Liz Ball in the air here.
She's gonna be missed high and wide
off the corner of the frame.
Nogo with seven in his series yesterday.
Holy, let all of Ninjas and Pajamas with seven credits.
Many were off the kickoff.
They were outstanding on the kickoff against TSM
in their opening round match.
Things have settled down significantly
for both squads here early in game one.
Yeah, but so far, Twisted Mind's kind of controlling
the pressure here.
They're doing a good job of keeping the ball
in this blue half.
There's a lot of people, they've got a slot one,
and they're TRK with the assist here.
You watch and get that,
Be joyous with that heavy touch.
You can't follow it.
TRK points are perfectly passing.
There's no recovery in the net there.
It was just so much pressure from twisted minds
in that opening round salvo.
Now they strike gold here with the first goal.
As our ball comes cleanly off that back wall,
you're just asking to concede a goal.
Jory is trying to get a quick answer back.
Nothing grew in there.
And now it's going to be monkey moon.
Looking to add the pressure on now for twisted minds.
Much better defensively yesterday
than they have been in their previous land performance.
That was their weak point in Boston.
Oh, look, look, hit it.
A double commit there.
That was awesome.
That was awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
That was fucking Boston.
Holy shit.
I want to cut this, but it would be a free ball from like,
when a lot of moves here, just parties to beat.
Want to get out, CRR.
I'm looking to follow this up, but I mean, the Hicks a little too heavy, so he ends up chasing it down.
Once the turn keeps us in, nice chance there for a pass.
Majorious to preach up just a little off the under boost of course for right there.
And I'd be trying to find each other in the midfield, but his offense, not too...
The execution's just lacking, a little slow here.
We'll have to try again.
Three jumps, high-risk, high reward. Here's TRK though.
That's my only where the counter attack it comes in the form of a shot from
Jorias easily dismissed by monkey moon there goes they won't be one world
champion yet by Jorias and the follow up there from monkey moon didn't have any
pace behind it at all. Yeah but you see again just that that level of speed when
it comes to getting close to the ball here. NIP getting some beats out but a lot
of these fifties are coming through whenever an IP on the ball they don't
Necessarily have too much boost to do much with it. They're expanding all the resources to just get contact
And that's not gonna be enough here gets twisted minds
Executions has to be a little bit better
Physicality force in the air
TRK will get credit with the goal
But this is really like just an all ball play looking noble just getting that bump out and CRR had to go high
He just couldn't get that follow-up touch meeting to get the same if CRR all the credit in the world
He just about got back
But not enough.
That monkey moon.
Looking for a third for TM.
Won't find anything towards the center that time.
But they have done a great job as just kind of controlling game one here
and forcing ninjas and pajamas on their back foot.
The entirety of this game finally breaking out here in an opportunity
with the ball jumping out cleanly off the corner.
But even though two go, it works out perfectly for twisted minds.
I mean, this is really going to be up to NIP to kind of turn this around.
Another shot goes through just high.
We won't go in, but still the pressure here just mounting.
You can see midges in pajamas just struggling to really get just a
foothold here.
Just again, every time they get to the ball, that first making
at least big contact for the 50, but they never win it.
And they never win it handily.
Now, second main coming out from Twisted Minds.
Always been so effective.
Look at Mucky, what he has heard.
Just able to get a perfect cut.
His timing has always been so well,
and it works here.
Minds, enough time for his team to get back.
Jory has had a little bit of room there,
but not enough to get past Twisted Minds,
what they can set on defense.
One of our friends to go around for Ninjas and Pajamas
in their first round yesterday.
Ole adds to his impressive tally his eighth pull of the event.
And it's the first in the last minute here for NIP.
And you can see Twisted Minds all in the corner.
I think they wanted to kind of keep that possession
close trap of the ball.
But everybody should be there.
And CRR, great reel of the situation.
Hit the ball off the corner.
And Oley just banked the shot.
Maybe CRR can get another.
He's off to the ball.
And it'll go off.
Looking moves.
Great flick out.
Boy, it looked like he had it all lined up.
It looked like Ninth is in pajamas.
We're going to do it again off the kickoff.
Now they're swarming around the twist of mind's net.
The powerful clear from CRR gives them a glimmer of hope.
That's another ball set out towards midfield.
And CRR tried to skim that one, coming back
from the offensive end.
The creativity's there now, but they got very little time
to work with.
CRK able to get the stable top of it.
He's a taster all by himself.
Only looked at so awkward there.
But you see CRK, he got to know he doesn't have that much boost
left.
Always just didn't want to cut in time.
And that's a rough one to give up.
I mean, twisted mines just submitted the game with that one.
But I mean, there's no winning there for only TRK.
You can just read what Oli's doing
and decide if he's going to take the shot or not.
That's exactly how it played out.
And twisted mines will pull away at the last second
and take game one again.
They controlled pretty well all through the match.
Twisted mines off on the right foot here on day two.
So Twisted mines picking up where they left off.
I think though for this game in particular,
it is more on NIP to be able to kind of break out and play their style.
It feels like things aren't necessarily
connected with them early on in this series.
And it's kind of struggled, especially considering, you know,
they understand, you know, where twisted mines are going to play,
how much people is going to try to control that midfield,
And they need to be able to win that midfield stack,
so they want to have more control of it.
They can't do that.
They're under pressure the entire game.
Twisted mines just kind of kept them in their own half,
and that was what they could do about it.
I mean, when you just look at the tangible statistics
and you didn't actually watch the game,
you'd think, OK, I mean, reasonably close.
Shots were 8-5 in favor of twisted mines,
but it did not feel like Ninjas even had that many shots.
is just, you know, the high quality opportunities they had,
maybe one or two, one, that they slotted in.
So, you know, for Ninjas and Pajamas now,
I mean, they're not gonna get gifts off the kickoff
like they did yesterday.
They're gonna have to fight Spratch-a-Claw
and earn it here, Daz, against a Twisted Mind team
that does look significantly more improved
from their last land performance.
Yeah, and I think that, you know,
there's a big focus there too
on like how Twisted Minds have looked,
where, okay, they seem to be able to play their game,
They can get aggressive and put themselves really in that upper third part of the map.
You saw monkey moon again, just knowing when to go on the third man.
It just feels like twisted minds as a team have a lot of trust in what they're able to do offensively and it kind of garnishes them some benefits.
I remember talking to sad junior and I'm pretty sure he told me that their comms are now fully but dual league like dual English, English and Arabic.
They can do it flawlessly.
So a lot of chemistry being built over the course of this.
Lucky Moon, kicking up a demo.
Now we're trying to chase a little bit of air here.
T-R-T is there to follow.
And where Ninjas in pajamas had early success yesterday,
it is a complete opposite now.
They're on the backboard, early in Game 2 as well.
All is trying to get the backboard reading.
It's a tough angle for sure, but that's what happens when you miss it.
Just unfortunate defense cover trying to get a backflip, and he does!
Well how many times are they going to do this this weekend?
This is how they lived yesterday against TSM.
A very quick response off the kickoff.
So all that work the Twisted Minds put up in the first 30 seconds to gain the advantage.
All washed away, and Jory is threatening again.
CRR trying to dance around one.
The monkey moon, final ball sent to back.
There to slow it down.
TRK, bumping 350 by monkey moon.
All right, we'll give TM the lead again.
I mean, you see the off ball bump there to start the play,
but it's really monkey moon.
Just knowing how the position is called for the 50,
that's just experienced there.
And again, straight middle, that's a communicated 50.
Perfectly executed from twist of mind to take the lead
Already for TRK in this series
And you could just see I mean first of all monkey move going for that and TRK
Leaving monkey moves gonna win that and go straight to on this out the shot
But he doesn't get that ball unless he's perfectly positioned for it.
Wow, it is in fact inevitable.
He's gonna get the ball on the ground.
Oh, God!
There's a forecourt, run to interference again.
Look at this, great serve for the kickoff.
What people say is, I don't need this ball.
Come here, no, you can't get away, only.
You can't get away.
It's sad, look at him, he's laughing it up.
These guys have a great time here as this game and this series
He's fully a favorite twist of ours right now.
Well, it's really easy to laugh when you scored four times
in just over a minute.
TRK just plays that off of CRR to himself,
throw it downfield again, and force Oli and CRR
to work from their own back corner.
But the good news for Ninjas and Bejama,
you still have almost an entire game to go.
Another double, another open net, and another goal for Oki.
And again, a lot of this off-ball work, you see Nobo just giving the demo to kind of create
the space to set it up.
He also got another bump stop rotation going back into the last goal.
Everybody's getting involved, they're getting physical and he has no answer for this right
now.
And it's a big cause of concern here for them, not just in this series, but as the tournament
moves on.
You heard the interview from Zoria, she said,
oh, we are in this game, top three players in the world.
Well, it's a fact towards Zornette.
That's about as close as Nijijin Pajamas
have gotten outside of that one kickoff goal to getting
anything at the Twisted Minds net.
Another one.
It pointed open again.
He's holding the stack.
He's having a steal.
He's stab patting it.
The pair has made your bundle now.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
Nobo was going to get his first goal of the series.
Instead, NAP, just for assists.
Come on.
Hang in there, kid.
6-1.
And still, just a nightmarish amount of time remaining.
I mean, at this point, you have to look forward if you are in IP.
See what works.
See what does it.
At this point, the rest of the game is a tie-knock.
That is true.
That is one of the benefits of, if you can take any silver lining
out of getting just absolutely blasted off the field is, well,
you got three minutes of time-out time,
and then you can even take one to get an extra minute if you really want it.
There's a half a game to go here as Twisted Minds keep the pressure on.
You just look at how, like, well-twisted minds are just moving a field.
These teams have great communication, great trust in each other,
They play like it the positioning shows it not only that just the way that they approach moving the ball up field
What's going on
This is a sound elbow gets his first goal of the series after having one stolen by monkey
He let it go
You know sometimes it's just not your day, right?
It's gonna be a VIP's day, but right now it is not.
Honestly, if you turn this around,
from this point, you're having a great day.
It's really a great day.
For sure.
Otherwise, it's a great day to go visit Brazil.
Well, now we're in Paris right now.
That's right.
CRR, looking across.
Jory, is it a little slow to get in there?
Try to keep possession.
Try to at least get it off this score line.
If there are no other reason than pride
From this, TRK might do it for them.
Oh my gosh, it came off the back line clean.
Jory has missed on it and TRK slams it home.
Yeah, another one.
This one just all free from TRK.
Beautiful goal, big goal to bring the lead to seven.
Minute 37 to go.
Twisted minds continuing their show
with their performance here at Forbidden Temple.
Derby and Johnny have just looked over here.
I feel like I need to explain to them,
no, this is not the practice lobby.
This is happening.
Minute 20.
And the only drama at this point was,
yeah, their tears is more closer than ours.
Tia took a game over Billy.
Oh my goodness.
Me, my lonely score.
That's his 10th goal of the weekend.
Not really into the weekend proper for that matter.
8 to be you.
All they from Joriot's.
Okay, this is a wild start to the day here.
It is. Very odd.
But, yeah, just get another one.
Is that why he does something?
100% he believed that.
He's a trooper too.
Somebody's going to be waking up D-Wrek right now like,
Yo, dude, open up the record book.
I'm sure something is happening within this series.
9-2.
This meanwhile, we looked over making 9-3.
Again, you start thinking about score,
Gowney at this point.
What unique score have we never seen before?
And can we hit that number as it only gets another kickoff
goal this weekend?
Yeah.
Wait, how many goals left for Holies getting that 3?
Is he a whole little game?
He's got him all in this series.
Oh, wow.
Four goals, 11 on the week.
Always been able to put it in the back of the net.
Looks like an NBA All-Star game.
There's no defense.
Yeah.
Giving Jordy the CRR in this scoring
would be very good if you're NIT.
Yeah, but only almost got another CRR.
trying to get one here and you got to think that you know this is still good for NIP if they can
figure out what they need to do to kind of get past twisted minds working into this game if they
can put something together but outside of that they're going to be in a magical situation
we'll have perversely I mean definitely easier to do it the best of five they're the best of seven
Oh, they got you guys ready to hit them.
Four, we got nine, four, 16.
I mean, it's just not how close this is.
Again, we're talking more score, Tommy.
Yeah, that's about it.
I think you have to get somewhere into the double digits
of a twisted mind.
16 seconds remaining
in what has been
little more than an intermission.
Oh, you know what? If we weren't having a long enough
time out, we're going to have
another pause here and
And actually, I wonder, that looks a little more serious
than any kind of a tech pause.
So it's an outfit change, maybe.
Yeah, so Noble's going to have to step away for a moment.
14 seconds remaining here in this game.
Yeah, now you kind of look forward here.
A little bit of extra time for NIP as well.
Definitely a frustrating game and a frustrating...
I was going to say start to the series, but it will only be the start of the series event.
I think you manage to turn it around right now.
They're just in a really tough spot to start the day, especially when you consider, you
know, they got to finish the rest of the group and especially considering how TSM are looking
over on the alternate stream up to one against rebellion in game three with a tied series
and they just scored again.
Now, this must be this must be production is like flip the teams or something.
There's no way.
What is going on?
Welcome to Bizarro World, Daz.
Welcome to Bizarro World, both days,
so far here in Paris.
I mean, yes, for the most part, it's gone to plan.
The favorites have won almost every match.
But how we've gotten there has been quite entertaining.
And even here, like when you see the scoreline
being nine to four with just 15 seconds left in game two.
It's just one of those wild things that you want.
You wouldn't believe it.
If you weren't sat here watching it.
Right.
We can confirm by the way,
Nobo is on his way back to the player area.
Again, hope everything is all right with him.
It looks like he's gonna be settling down in just a moment.
And back there he is.
That was a really good challenge.
That was a good video.
Yeah.
I don't know for sure.
I mean, it does get incredibly hot up here.
Like, there are fans going.
It was very cool when we first got up here this morning,
and then all of a sudden, all the lights are on,
all the people are around.
It heats up real quick.
Yeah, I had to take my jacket off, too.
But think about what it's going to be like tomorrow
the arena with tens of thousands,
sounds incredible to say for a mid-season major
and not just the World Championship,
but tens of thousands in the arena
to watch the best of the world do what they do.
And it's gonna be amazing.
Like looking at it inside already,
it just, it looks amazing.
And it'll be even better once you all are there
to fill the seats, but right now we are getting ready
to get back into this one.
close out game number two 16 seconds to go.
Four to nine score line in favor of twisted minds.
Maybe they'll try to think of 10.
You can feel pads, they'll cut out.
Always got an open look.
Are we going to keep scoring here?
You might.
See if they get one more and is it going to go through?
It is.
We got 10.
Ha ha ha ha.
Wow.
10 for.
How long has it been since you've seen a 10 goal score line of Yarls there?
Do personally, fuck.
Me personally?
Gosh.
Um, we didn't, we got close in Boston, didn't we?
Maybe.
I feel like we got real close in Boston for some reason.
I can't remember who.
But other than that, it would have been a minute.
10-4.
Noble gets three near the end.
TRK puts up absolutely.
God mode numbers five goals for fuck goals from four shots five goals. I love this game
Buckingham was shot a hundred percent two for two five assists. Yeah, there were zero saves on the side of NIP
Yeah, well, you think about all the goals that were scored in I mean it was just the net was open
That's the big thing here. See those numbers or whatever was in the net couldn't even get the six they got bumped. Yeah, and
Oilers
Can they can can twisted minds also give them their timeout we saw Safi take a timeout up to all
I'm regretted under very different circumstances
The only the only way I would want to belt timeouts if I could hear what they're talking about right?
I don't know if you want to hear the the NIP comms right now
They got a they got to lock in here and find a way out of this series out of the predicament there
and they've been outscored 13 to 5 in this series.
And that wouldn't sound awful if the series was already over.
That's just your two games.
Oh, that was for a gummy, by the way, that's on four.
Oh, all right.
There we go.
Oh, I think they actually broke the record for most goals
in a game on land.
D-Wrek's got to, I need to figure that one out all the way,
but I think so there, Shal.
Yeah, most goals on land in a single game was nine.
So a beating of historical proportions
delivered by twisted minds
dropping 10 on ninjas and pajamas.
The benefit for NIP of course is
when you line them all up here for game three,
it's zero zero.
And we've seen teams, we've seen teams look completely dead inside, get to triple or quadruple
match point in best of sevens, and suddenly something clicks.
You get one opportunity, you convert, change the momentum around.
Coming out of the timeout, here we go, twisted minds on the verge of a dominant sweep.
But first they have to survive the kickoff where Ninjas and Pajamas have thrived and
that continued even in that last game.
This is gonna be big here because now you're looking for the adjustment.
You've had time, you've had more time than most to be able to at least talk this over.
Now, what can you bring to the table?
No, they didn't bring in anything.
Let's both get moved and open up.
Well, we told him he's going back to his home to win another championship.
And he's like, I guess I'll start trying again.
Monkey Moon's got four goals in this series,
and that just looks like a kind of pedestrian number
compared to what TRK has added.
Wow, what a legend.
Although he's going up for this two, he's last back there.
No hesitations.
He's going to leave it, try to get out, pass up the field.
Ciargue is cut out.
They got to stop the bleeding.
They got to get something on the board here soon.
for an IP, this feels like they can't connect
if they're placed out moving the way they want to.
Pass again, that shot's just off.
CRR was looking for the top corner,
wants to follow it, there's a dip on the play,
and I think doing a much better job
is kind of controlling the ball.
I just gotta build that consistency.
Can't let these beats come through,
can't let those shots go through.
CRR just barely made it in time.
Right place, right time.
And that's gonna need a lot more of that.
CRR through the corner, beaten handily by Novo.
Now Holy, 250 to get that deep into the corner.
CRR can chase it further.
Monkey Moon not able to get out of the zone very cleanly,
but a powerful clear there.
That's it.
That's a horse, then, awkward flip from Holy.
And now her free ball off the backboard almost twice.
Would have back twisted mines to score nine times out of 10
there.
That's the one, and this is it, but Dallas will get it back!
C-O-R, Perseveres!
This is the only down side for that trust
that you see out of Twisted Minds,
because although it just leaves it,
he's expecting Muffin would have a free ball in the clear,
once Muffin will blast back,
even though the team has trust in him to make the play.
If he doesn't, then that's the worst that comes with it.
NIP, great pressure there on just squeezing the space
from Twisted Minds and getting a goal
and being rewarded for it.
Jordan's down going to work as ninjas and pajamas have renewed lights.
Nobo right towards CRR.
He'll dish it off to the right to Monkey Moon.
All these played it hard off that angle on the side and it almost worked out for Nip.
Nobo up there very quickly to win that ball.
Monkey Moon, excellent first touch.
That's forces CRR into action.
SGRK will leave it now for Nobo and almost got that win off Jory is on the back wall.
SGRK trying to control that one.
Right now Twisted halfway through this game.
Got a big pressure to make.
You're not even looking for a way in but
plus you're going to work to get out of TRK high ball.
But you know what's keep this in space.
We find the mid-pass and Jordan has been able to make the stop here to get a
long clear downfield and I think the tax haven't been as strong but it's because
our Twisters attacks haven't been as strong because the I.T. has done a great job of just
getting those cuts if they move so much more efficiently on the finish.
I think this was a shot though.
You can argue that was a fake there but not enough to get past the defense.
demo downfield trying to open things up for ninjas and pajamas but jory's effort
only leads to t r k coming to the war great adjustment he's been he's been unusually silent
here in this game after putting on an offensive clinic in the first 10 minutes
yeah i mean jory has great just great ability to control his car when he needs to
KKK low boost here.
Just one amount too much for twisted minds
unless NIP let this ball get away from him.
Oli knows he wants to play close to his feet, so he does.
And pulls out two as well.
But look at Maki Moon, no fear.
Just knows when to go.
And it just amounts to NIP having to stretch
more things defensively.
Maki Moon's been a key factor for twisted minds
so far this series.
Holy good center ball actually almost on target as well. It's just kind of skin the crossbar
And now it's nobo with monkey moon behind him in support
Just like pick your poison with this twisted mind's roster
You've got world championship pedigree all over the field
Nobo the great win get this downfield dunk it deep into the corner steal the boost as well now TRK
All in his own number, but always there to intercept that ball.
If Mookie Boone get around on this, no, he got nushed off the wall there by CRR.
That's an excellent job by him. He's been outstanding defensively.
I know it's hard to say anybody has been in a series with a conceded 14 goals,
but CRR has done all he can to keep this manageable.
15-9 for Manning.
Mookie Boone!
He was gliding up. He didn't have much boost, but he used what he had to try and make something work.
Come on, double's up.
Wait, we set back?
What was the bump?
No, it's not enough.
Wanna stop, defensively.
That was C.R. Arn.
Keats and I.T. Alarm in the series.
Are we going to see overtime here?
That has to hit the ground, it will.
The Dunn playing around,
ninjas and pajamas with their backs against the wall.
Twisted mind, trying to pull level with them
in the standings in the group at one and one.
All in, at support behind him,
but there's nobody following the play.
And Jory is gonna boom it out.
Only as far as TRK, and this time,
they do not let him get a clean rebound off the backboard.
Buckingham was just waiting for the right moment
to get involved.
He's never off the corner though.
Not the best use there, only to get the follow.
Jerk hit great double.
Oh, just one left,
oh Jerk hit was awkward, wait for the marks.
to get it center. There's the book. No.
TRK just put on a solo masterclass all the way down the field and monkey moon.
Captain inevitable himself puts the finishing touches on a three oh sweep for twisted minds.
I mean they look great. This looks like a full package of greatness when you watch Twisted
Minds play. The way Monkey Moon has just been able to effectively move around the field knows
when to strike again. He had two goals that game for Twisted Minds. It's worth an opener
and their winner but Noble just being able to just decide okay do I want to make an
on-ball player or off-ball player and when he does it's so effective he knows his timing.
TRK knows exactly when to use his mechanics, even when it looks like he's off the ball,
he's still able to make a play happen or throw you off, he'll test your backboard if he leaves it open.
I mean, it feels like a perfect recipe for success. New off NIP for the rest of the group stage.
It's going to look a little tricky for them. This was not the start they wanted. A sweep here
to start a group stage where, I mean, with TSM taking it,
it looks like it's gonna go five, you never know.
Twisted mind scores 15 times by the way,
that 10-4 score line, first unique score line,
set on land since season one 10 years ago.
Please stand and buy with our winners, wow.
First off, I'm gonna say congratulations on that win,
Congratulations on that win and also congratulations now on winning Worlds again.
Congratulations for the victory and congratulations for the Worlds.
I want to return to the DQC.
Thank you, I think it's my place, so we're going to look for the 3rd one.
before they played you guys in scrims quite a bit and they felt confident. Clearly that
changed when it came to game day. What do you think was the difference between scrims
and now? I know scrims, you know, it could be very different.
I think that when I stream against them, I'm often with TRK and Dubu, but they are in Saudi Arabia, so they have a ping.
And suddenly when we arrive in the LAN and they don't have a lot of pings, it changes.
And then I think we are at the moment much better on the pitch.
Currently, right now, our individual and team level is higher than them, so I think that's really what made the change today.
Well, I want to ask about that level too, because I talked to Sir Junior yesterday and he said, you know, there were difficulties trying to connect different languages together in that and the play styles.
Do you feel like it's at its peak now for yourself? Do you feel like the team is exactly where it needs to be?
When we were talking with St. Julien, there were some difficulties at the beginning,
your different languages, different languages, and different regions, different things.
Do you feel like you're getting to this level of performance that you couldn't reach in the team?
For now, I don't think we have a peak. I think we're getting closer and closer.
But I think we're very strong now.
I think we saw it on the split with the two regions we won.
And I think I improved a lot, I think I needed it, especially for the team.
So I feel good and the team, if we play like that until the end, we could go and get the title.
Well, I don't think we reached the peak yet, but we're very close to it.
It's clear that we're improving a lot and I think people saw that during the second
split since we won two regionals obviously.
And even individually, I definitely stepped up.
I think I needed that and I think the team needed that as well.
So yeah, I think if we continue to play like that, we can definitely even win it all, maybe.
Yeah, honestly, truly, yes.
I mean, you looked at it again, incredible.
So I agree with you today.
keep that up and yeah you're looking for a championship center for sure but in
terms of this match up here I have to ask I don't know what exactly happened
there was a timeout when it was already like 10 to 4 or something was it was
that to get in their heads or was or did something happen?
No, because we had some medical issues so we had to do both but at least we used that as a timeout as well.
Sure, yeah. We don't need that but we use it as a timeout, yeah.
Now, I guess for you the rest of the day,
what is the goal for the team?
It's very sometimes hard to overthink,
or easy to overthink when you're playing well
and get worried that it might fall off when you do
to make sure that you stay at this level,
because this is a winning level.
At the end of the day, you'll see another match.
Plus, you'll be locked in the stream and as you'll see,
maybe you'll be able to play on the last match.
How did you manage to not think too much about this victory?
Stay focused and be able to have the last match
with a good approach and a good confidence?
I think we're going to do like today.
I mean, we're still coming with confidence,
even though there's a lot of stress.
We have a lot of experience in the team now.
We've done a lot of lunges, so we know what to expect.
We know what to do.
And I think it's really just the experience and we'll give it our all.
This was looking great.
Dominating your opponents.
Congratulations again, Monkey Moon on that winning.
Good luck.
Going forward, a minor that we also have the B-String going on today.
Lots of Rocket League matches in a group stage.
Have them all up and keep enjoying some great Rocket League.
I want to try and experiment all right to help you unbecome your parents. I want you to try a game called Rocket League
Ooh, is it a puzzle, like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
Okay.
With a car.
What, do I hang my feet outside the window?
No, not your car.
But you said, think of-
It's a video game.
Oh, okay, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
No.
I gotta blow in the cartridge.
Again, no cartridge, but you'll need a username.
Username, huh?
How about Keith underscore 9914?
the bathroom coat? That's the only number I can kind of remember easily so
I
Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, Martian for life.
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing. Getting beaten?
Not like this. These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Stay there.
I
I
I
I'm on the way with you, just use your money
When that's your story, believe me
We step aside
I'm on the way with you, just use your money
When that's your story, believe me
I
We could not have started day two off with two more different series.
an absolute barn burn of a blowout, TSM annihilating the ninjas and pajamas.
Meanwhile, Shopify Rebellion put to the brink by APAC, TSM losing on a heartbreaking buzzer
beat, and if that's what we're starting day two off with, I am so excited to see what
it'll be.
We handed the scripts to their own Shreyas at this point, it was supposed to be the opposite.
Shound out the TSM battle and now Rebellion there is so incredibly close, came down to
0 seconds game 5 but also for twisted minds. We talked about how difficult this group was for the top 3 and twisted minds put up a 10 spot where we had to change the UI fonts because how many goals.
Not only that that 10 for scoreline was the first score a gummy if you're really this concept is coming a unique scoreline in a competitive setting. We have since season one the first score got me since season on land since season one somehow all the scorelines we've ever had.
we've ever had at any land in RLCS all happened in that first RLCS major which is only two days
Ten years ago, it's the first time since then and then I think stacks mentioned this the most goals
By team on land as well. Yeah, it is it isn't so
Also, I don't know why I picked ninjas and pajamas. I had I thought there was a chance
But this was such a block from the very beginning
It didn't really feel like there was ever a chance they did have that overtime game in the end, but finally I
Did not have much to point to
positively for an IP because of how dominant
They played a great series a really great series
and get shot by the Bollinger and shot by the Bollinger.
Truly was just that much better.
It's Marvel playing perfectly rockedly.
So going into the day, I mean, it was just
a piece of cake for Tristan Mines at this moment.
NIP is a little swabbier.
They have a consistent floor in EU,
but when it comes to playing, these truly great teams
that can win the tournament and these type of matches,
I think you see the difference.
But it's still so wild to think,
because every day in rock league is brand new.
We talked about Tristan Mines look so good against Rebellion,
and we saw Rebellion win that match,
but then they had to go to game five against TSM.
So on any given day, it can be different.
But Ninjas, today is the day that they are tested.
And so far, they have not looked good.
And now, they can't even win the group
because of that 3-0 loss.
There could be a three-way tie for first,
but they will lose out on head-to-head game
differential no matter what.
That's crazy looking at these match-ins at stats,
because even in some categories, you
see Ninjas on this winning.
The only one that they are completely out of
is time spent in the lead.
They had no point letting that series.
It felt close otherwise, but when
they came down to actually scoring opportunities,
completely outclassed here at Twisted Minds.
Well, that's the end of round three.
Twisted Minds versus TSM, Twisted Minds.
Don't get comfortable, but TSM.
That's not true.
Now they're playing with free spirit at the moment.
They're moving that ball left and right,
making shot five, rebounding it, work, keeping them on.
Comfortable hand.
And they can do that to you.
You could be in trouble.
And not only that, yeah.
But if TSM wins that, and there's only two teams at 1 and 2,
TSM would move on.
And Twisted Minds would be out of the tournament.
So they still have to do what they need to do in round three.
It's going to be close.
But again, if there is a three-way type of top,
I wish that minds automatically will get it because of their game differential so far.
It's pretty fun to this being a global competition.
There's broadcasts of multiple languages happening in this space right now and kind of in the same space in front of us.
We have the French broadcast. We have the Arabic broadcast. We have the German broadcast in front of us.
And Catalism was putting up some numbers for TSM there.
Catalism, the only German player here according to the German broadcast here.
And they were popping off every time they scored.
So cool to see the way that the world gets to celebrate rock me all together here at these majors
Oh, yeah, it's a huge celebration and this is gonna be a huge event as well
If you are in the area if there's a way to get out here you should I mean it this will be the biggest crowd
We've ever seen and when I'll be honest when I was in Leone
And commentating that k-corp team Falcons match. It was probably the most magical moment that I've ever had
Casting in front of a crowd so it is truly gonna be insane. I'm just glad you had a great cast man. Listen. That's good
He's been satisfied he's been satisfied. He's like that little title over for a while except for his face
Well, we don't know. I was near the top now. I'm gonna be challenging Shogi for that tie. No, see
Stylish time it was here's how the groups look right now one more round to play there for group C
We'll play that a little bit later on today
Groups DB and a still need to be concluded and we're gonna start heading over towards group D next
So two different matches going to be happening simultaneously here.
And we've got two more rounds to go.
RAD Sports going to be taking on the gentlemates and Furia taking on Space Station.
Look at the Furia Space Station match.
You're getting ready for that one right now over on the alternate stream, folks.
Drops are on all weekend long.
Make sure you have both streams here pulled up so you can get that drop brush.
He cal beautiful thing from Mr. Brainwash.
The alternate stream is twitch.tv slash RLE sports.
They have their own little desk as well.
Having a good time over there kind of is a different flavor.
There'd be heading into that furia versus space station matchup here in the mainstream though quite a few more matches before we close out date number two
Let's start talking about the next one the story the next chapter for r8 e-sports is right now
Yesterday's story was a bit of a stumble not this is where they wanted to start here on day number one
But again such new players here in the rocket league land space
Every single match is going to be a notable increase in their experience
But this one, but not against the gentlemates, the reigning major champions, gonna be a huge one.
Notable increase in difficulty as well.
Boston major champions in the Mates, everyone considers them favorites to win this tournament.
So can R8 pull off the ultimate upset here?
Or will the gentlemates take control of this group?
Well, they came in with high hopes, the first team to take us following from Falcons at a major Firmina here.
R80 Sports are ready.
I'm Zezonix, I'm a player in the Air Force.
I play with Mohammed, Abdullah and Ghazi.
I'm a good player in the Air Force.
The feeling is really nice, that you finished the major because it's hard.
We won because you're in Spott and there's a lot of Africa,
so it's really nice.
Thank God we finished, but hopefully we can get the major.
Maybe all of Africa is good, you have to be careful.
But the team that is going to be the most difficult is Thermalflore.
Of course, they will be strong because they will not be afraid of Ghazi or Mohammed because they have their own secrets.
No matter what they do wrong, they will be able to get used to it.
So they will be very strong.
At the same time, if we are close to the enemy, they will be able to come back and help us.
You need to have a team that's not easy to defeat.
Hanging out in the pit with our next matchup, with R8,
with the coach I wanna ask you a couple of questions before we get into it.
For you as the coach, having such new talent coming to one of the biggest
Rocket League events ever, what have been challenges for you getting them prepared?
The challenges that you face as a team coach with your team members,
especially in the biggest major in the history of the game,
such as Palestine, which is very big,
we will talk about the challenges that you face,
and prepare the team for the match.
The challenges I face are especially for the big Africa,
such as Carmen, Nardi and the World Cup.
We will solve them and hopefully we will be able to do them in the major.
Of course, there's a lot of challenges, especially when you're facing some of the biggest teams in the world.
You're talking about Karmin, NRG, Vitality, SSG.
Those are very big names and they're very experienced.
But we try to do our best and analyze and break down every single game one by one.
And at the end of the day, we're hoping to do our best and get the major.
Well, now I'm curious what that is. Of course, everyone wants to win the major.
Are there any smaller goals you've set up for the squad?
Just to make sure you have milestones to hit along the way to that,
that you can be happy no matter what the results.
The goal is to reach the first and the last center and win the Major.
But let's say there are small goals, small goals that the team wants to achieve.
For example, if the team wants to win, they want to reach the first center in the group.
Are there small goals that you want to achieve?
Yes, of course, our first goal is to step by step, which is done by the group.
Hopefully, we can get the first seed if we win against Gentel and Fury.
We can get to seed one, if God permits.
But if we can't, we'll get to seed two.
At the moment, I'd say the main goal is trying to see if we can get seed one.
Hopefully, we'll be able to take down Gentlemates and then Fiora from there,
and we'll see how it goes, basically just step by step.
But if we're not able to make it first seed, we'll do whatever we can with the second seed then.
Well, either way, good luck in your matches, but it is time to take a look at your opponents.
Hello, my name is Osco Gossoski, also known as Oski, and I play for Gennamites on Rocket League.
My two teammates are Nassan Archie, and the best thing about them is their individual level in-game and our friendship outside the game.
We won one regional, got a final in a second. The fourth regional was a bit shaky, but we regained the map.
And the assail is pretty, fairly easy. Winning a tournament with a major like, it feels nice in a moment, but you can't have to go straight back to the scrimmage or else you won't win again.
And our plan is to win every single one.
The way we approach a game, I'd say it's probably a consistent, formal play in a game, like inside the game, but also very close outside the game.
And I think those two combined, it makes it a very well-harmonised team.
To be honest, I think most of my career I've been on teams where I've been quite close to my teammates,
but I can't imagine not being as close as we are now, because it really helped you in-game, because you're able to trust them more.
Because when you're working with people who aren't really as close to you, it doesn't feel as good as when you're playing with people who are super close friends to you.
Well, coming into Paris is kind of surreal, like for me it's going to be the best event so far, like in the history of the game, in the history of my career.
But I'd say that I can't wait to be honest, like having a French crowd behind us, unlike me, is really a feeling that I didn't really think I'd be having, but I can't wait.
One thing I'm looking to prove as well as a team is that we're able to do it back to back.
I think doing it once is the easy part, but like doing it twice, that's when it really solidifies greatness in my opinion.
I'm the other side here with a coach Stasky from Gentlemates.
I'm just going to ask right now, five check, how are you feeling?
Good.
How's the squad been feeling?
Good.
What are they going to need to beat you?
Nope.
All right, what's two plus two?
Four.
How old are you?
Oh, that's a tough one.
I got an easy one.
I got an easy one.
Come here.
I got an easy one.
What comes after six?
Hey, did you just want to play some Rocket League?
Yes.
Let's do that. Let's play some rocket league.
Let's leave out here.
Influencing a match with this.
The coach's head.
You're going to need milk.
That's true. One number comes after six.
Seven.
What is it?
Eight.
What?
Anyway, let's move on.
Let's talk about Oskie.
One of the best players. I'm a gentleman.
Split one. Probably split one MVP online.
Yeah, and we saw what happened at the land and really a land I thought he was my best the best player
I thought for his team going into the final obviously Nas took over that final
But Oski was so important to get to that point on talk about that a little bit more for me
Except I feel like a lot of people coming out of Boston when they think about the gentleman's like oh, yeah, that's so good
That's the reason one last impression that you you you're left with obviously is the grand final
And you know that's the biggest point to play so you know you you have to give credit to Nas
But you got to get to the grand final for NASA even have a performance like that
And I think oski was the one who got them over the line
He was playing so phenomenally well
You saw that pancake shot that he had as well like he was on
Fire couldn't be stopped so speedy so consistent so mechanical and so you know it's hard
It's funny that he says the one is the easy one
Look at the number of players that have won one and now look at the number of players the one to check
That's true, but there's a lot that would be happy with just one.
I mean, yeah, but that's the mark of greatness.
Exactly.
Aske feels like he wants to be one of the greatest players
to touch the game.
Winning is the, winning is the floor.
I got to be able to go back to back like Jordan,
like that's what, that's what really depends.
And I think, I think for me, like seeing Aske really
bust onto the scene, having to get special permission him
and Atso to play on Team Liquid before they were even 15.
That was back when 15 was they had to get special permission
to play in the RCS.
They looked like they were special players like the future potentially leads.
I think Oski has proven that he is he is really, I think, fulfilled the
prophecy, so to speak, by winning a major.
And now he is one of those players that is going to be fighting for greatness.
I think he has that in him still very young, still playing incredible rock.
But, you know, he gets one more.
He's on the way.
Absolutely. No, I can't get it done right now.
Folks, I know you think it's going to win in the fan vote.
We'll make our picks on the desk.
James, you picking the Husky?
I'm picking the Husky and Gentlemates here.
I think they're the favorite.
What hard to imagine them going down here.
I like R8 these sports.
I do.
I just don't like them as much as Mates.
I think R8 has a chance to make it top eight still.
I still think there is a road, but it doesn't begin here.
I have to make some.
OK.
I think it'll be high scoring.
I actually love both these teams, the way they play.
I think Gentlemates just has more experience.
And I think that's what this match will come down to.
They are the reigning defending major champions right now.
That does carry some weight here and also the gentleman's just as an organization so underpicked
I feel like it's about time that we were like, yeah, we're just gonna assume that they're gonna win these matches here
I also have gentle mates on this one. We'll see if they can get it done
This is gonna be the fantastic woman for our eight though who have fury coming up next
This for a different event but the mates had a logo they put out recently that actually includes the word Paris on it
So what's the point there for the points? We're here in Paris. It's not gonna exist
They see it though. The coin goes for RL this one. So coins got them on there. How does the chat feel about it?
72% all the main I mean, honestly, that's that's still more than I expected
This is a David versus Goliath style matchup can R8 make it happen going up against the reigning major champs folks
It's been a great day so far start off pop on both the main and the all-time stream
We're hoping to keep that momentum going here folks. The Paris Major continues with R80 ports versus the gentleman's
Group D about halfway through here and we come to Paris to see rate take on mate
I am somebody he is called and this is gonna be way see to decide our gentle ways going through in that number one spot
I love the whole rabie mate thing, but I think it is already unfortunately
So we're gonna have to do it on the bottom.
Early doors, all that fun is squished by me.
But hopefully what I've got over this next up to five games of Rocket League
has had so much about this RA roster.
May have been playing stunning Rocket League over there in mean.
They won open for second.
Open's five and six and four.
They made it here instead of Volk is another bad man
because Gentleman's the big bad currently already have a lead.
I've got to get to all so arch, getting in these positions.
We saw that as how they ended up winning the Major, along with Klaas coming in and performing the greatest Grand Finals forwards we've ever seen in any Rocket League event.
But RG is that Glucotine. He's made sure that he sits in those positions, calls himself non-mechanical.
They are going to be able to show up a thing in lobbies like these. On the side of R8, however, they are no slouches.
Over at MENA, they have been toppling the Falcons.
It's an incredible story from R8. Two of the players made the world championships last year, the last chance qualifier, and then in comes Mohammed.
They've been looking even better ever since, living up to their potential at the moment.
A few scary moments defensively, so we'll see if Jentemates are able to punish them there, and actually Jentemates are having all sorts of pressure so far in this one.
There's the SSL for a couple of touches.
And then that's what R8 needs, and they need to get hold of this ball as soon as possible to get as comfortable as possible.
It comes 30 though, it's going to be coming at a premium, especially when you play against
gentlemen.
They play very fast, they play very aggressive, they'll let a few goals if that needs to happen
for them to still win, so long as they win that war of attrition.
And the war of the goals that we have seen gentlemen score are truly fantastic at the
previous major over in Boston, northern A1, as I said, incredible forwards from all the
guys.
And they're going to be a tough challenger again, Col, you know, with the theoretical
Houghton team.
Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, we know that the French fans will get right behind Gentemates,
no matter who they're representing, and it doesn't matter if these players themselves
are not French, especially when they're playing like this, infield passes another one to Archie,
one of the safest players in the game when it comes to slamming the ball in the net,
but there's the chance here for Mahami. The newest boy, 4R8, quite fun,
but it was way through this time that Attila steals that boost, as Garzi in the centre does,
the Attila, what was it through himself, and we just started to see what RIR are about,
but when Gentemates are merged with the ball, they look dangerous.
Yeah, I think it just makes as well. They're taking good control a lot of the time until there's a little breakaway.
Slow down by Abel, and I have an ending chance to shoot.
Archie's saving away.
They have a team bump coming in. All good chance.
And RAA able to maintain control of this ball. One fake away leads to Nass going in for it.
Archie takes the immediate shot.
Garzy can't take it away, but Archie now on boosts. Had to go for the safe option.
Yeah, I mean maybe you could have taken a touch and forced the 50-50.
The pencil is behind it. It seemed that it's safe to me, but you can see why they don't want to give RA any previews.
He's a team that got one game in their opening series against Space Station Gaming and they looked okay, you know, for these key moments.
They couldn't quite score, but that, effectively, fair has been solid so far.
Yeah, Gnowski sending a rip of straight towards the net.
That's getting saved away midfield.
Here's Mohamed. One reset into the second, and there's all but the 10-foot.
Off-gears come against a few of them in his time, let's have more now, Abdullal.
Not quite enough on this, so a long shot can come through.
Garzi at the back, saves away, and good just me.
If there's one thing that you can say about RA, it is that mechanically,
they look like some of the best players at this lab.
They just tie together, reset, so I know who's business.
It's incredibly clean as well.
I mean, you know that Garzi's going to do something with this ball.
He gets the bump at the end of it.
Gentlemates are going to have to defend pretty deeply because of that.
Garzi leaves that one to after. Garzi on the back wall.
Hammond coming in as well. Jumpy defending there from RA, but it works out okay.
Garzi has a pass that's sent him. He can find Abdullah. Abdullah's there.
There's the ball. A great play, R8!
Beautiful play. Ahead of the ball play. Diving in front. Slow down by Garzi here.
Boss Archi to lose all momentum. See the lot easier of a target.
Abdullah the next man to it. Anyone can cook in the goal.
An RA show that they are the ones in the kitchen.
I mean, the gentleman they saw this one might be simple.
I think they're learning pretty quick that what R8 did in Nina was no accident, but here comes Nas, the superhero from Boston.
Quite a lift up to those standards yet, but they only played one series, it's fair enough.
And it was a comfortable 3-0 early on against Furia, so, you know, what can you say about that as far as gentleman to concern?
Great challenge there from Nas, she's coming in.
And, well, that falls for the basket, it's a couple of nudges of opponents.
Gentlemates seem scoring, they've had some very to be scary moments, but alright, I've dealt with everything really well.
It's final minute and 15, Oskar attempts to get it central, what's left awkwardly above the net?
They can be cleared away, but the Gentlemate's offense is brewing!
Chance for Archie to score, just about!
You're shaking your head, do you open that with Post and in? Do you think of the wife?
That's an own goal, mate. I'm calling it now, that's an own goal, that one's gonna hit the Post and come out, mass.
Yeah, that's going to help that one in. You don't think so?
Oh, I don't know.
Mate, the dress was white and gold, and that was going out.
Clearly black and blue.
You're crazy.
Have fun, chat.
In this final minute, then,
10-2, mate, just about to find that lead.
Oh, God, that was going in regardless.
Archie, follow it.
Cheeky bitch, put a shut down by Garzy.
It's been a good first game for R8.
Can they build on it, continuing here?
Clear from Archie, right hand wall.
Oh, God! Got the second.
and Wobby Devon out of the open net at the end of it.
Really an awful play yet again.
And Jessica Thurne absolutely did have to put that one away
because that wasn't going in either.
I don't know.
I just think it's a 0-2-2.
And a fantastic game on performance so far from R-A.
It's a nice.
All the pressure's on them, you know,
they keep getting this, they keep losing it.
They all begin to get just a tad frustrated.
You know, they have it all their own way here,
but it's worrying how often R-A
having control of the ball in the air, but Nass has control of his own, and he bounces over the habit, but Garzy was there.
Rees could have been devastated, he could be secured. Oskie attempting to batter down the hatches.
Opportunity, Nass. There's not going to be any boost, they've pulled back towards Archie in his own corner.
He can restart, refuel, a big demo again, out the loop. Getting the third big demo in this game.
Catch from Mohammed in the corner, with no boost though, so Oskie is going to be able to take control of this ball.
That's all good, aren't you? Three jumps.
And as the ball goes in the air, it's going to be all right with the last comment.
Yeah, Garthi was hoping that boost would spawn there, didn't quite happen,
but they do get their attack on. This one's going to be slammed to the ground by Mass.
It's overtime! All right, would have taken that at the start.
They kick off from Jenta, mate, and they're doing these in Boston,
but it proved just as fruitful here. Tipped over.
Nobody really lets the ball get away from him.
They're going to see Aretha.
Flix it towards the ground.
Yes, Aretha.
Aretha's reset on Maski as well.
I'll let that indicator.
Nice catch from Nass.
Erdribble's over one.
He's lurking downfield.
Ravity really a very high heat check
before Zoski confirms to boost.
He has nobody really challenging him.
He can just dispatch the ball again.
A touch back.
And after that for his own backboard,
has to pump it towards Garthin.
Yeah, these alright kids are happy to
play a risky game.
This awkward touch is defensively.
It is effective and they finally get
They control that ball and they're surprised at the gentleman, so they seem to keep doing it, but Archie has been effective throughout the season for the gentleman.
Now we've loved one more shooting chance, the first thing is his teammates to the fin, Nass does get that block, but it pulls to Garzy, all the clean touches right now.
Landing at the feet of the R8 players, Mahannan takes a touch in the air again, almost, those are Archie, Archie gets it as far as...
Absolutely, who shoots, makes way for Nass!
He's got more work to do though, to the ceiling, Garzy!
through the battle, who's following?
No, but Nina Bruce was low, but all right, now it's Archie,
the counter attack, a signature shot, a 10.
Does get shut down, but the pressure from mates
will begin to build.
Hello, Anise, nice from the ceiling into a very low musting.
Yeah, that was maneuvering, man, to get himself that reset.
Nasta's the same thing, gets passed one,
key touch there from Garzi, Archie shoots his wide.
Can also get the shot on target again, no, he can't, it goes high.
All they can do is continue the attack,
Jettamase having some pressure,
But not that shooting chance they need.
I kept the feeling, aren't you? Should have shot that on target.
I don't know if he thought he was going to get exclaimed in the shot as he ended up having.
But definitely an opportunity, gone and missing.
Two command tuna off, he takes full charge, reset.
The right hand wall does not beat my hand.
It's Nass' turn. He'll face off against Abdelham.
Don't beat here. And a pass!
Nearly successful, but too much beatings on that crossfit to get on the end of.
You get the idea that he and the team is able to score from nothing as gentlemates,
but the pressure right now is going to RA.
They are holding this ball in orange territory an awful lot as Naskin only send it sideways.
Gazi has that read. It's gonna be Mahalik!
Say, Darcy!
Brilliant save, incredible shot.
And for right now either of these teams is going to need that bit of perfection to sneak past the defense.
So, on top of the series, it could have been that all the defense from RA that could let them down.
So far, it absolutely has not.
And it's the first game that will mean a lot more to RA if they take it.
the amount of confidence they will feel the insurmountable what a statement game it would be in this series and in this tournament.
Mohamed can collect this one he does towards Ghazi but it was read by Mass the attack continues in Abdullah into the corner
actually it's got full boost it's at low but it's accurately all the way back Ghazi's gonna have to go again
this one on a knife edge something
she just beat R she then gets the gun Ghazi feels like a man to do it
the next up on the block as he fakes out gives position straight over towards Mohamed
Doing this corner now, he can't come in too far on it,
Arsenal's got a big pang there, just do so.
But effectively, Nats cannot beat Garzy.
It was dusted to the ball, and that does not happen very often.
Three minutes into game one over time,
beat turn, Charles!
Charles!
We're safe!
I think it was going in anyway, it's the opposite!
It's over there, surely it is!
And that is the post as well!
Askey watches it all the way, Garzy keeps the attack though!
Nats has control of this ball, gentlemen.
Have to be aware here, they have to keep their nerve.
With one in Boston, but with one more, that's what Oskie said in the interview beforehand.
And to the catchers, Mohamed waiting, slightly awkward moment here for R8.
Mohamed, he's up, gets another fling reset, so consistent something that they're all being read.
Pass to Central, does get read.
As R8 continues his attack, it has been very little in favour of the mates here.
The last 30 seconds or so, attempt to bob right above the bar, get again.
R8 looking more likely to score.
Gentlemen, it's got such a danger on the counter attack.
They wouldn't have been expected to have to counter attack, but that's where they're at, the clearance from Mass.
Only goes as far as Mohammed.
Garzi is waiting to see what Archie will do as a couple of lovely touches there from Archie strings along.
Lean hits, I guess I've got the hook at the end of it. Great play from the Englishman, this one's going to go high.
There's going to be a shooting chance for Mass, nearly.
It's a little bit too far away from the save, it is fruitful.
Chance Oskie, double, it's on target.
And that's actually a jump for us. Oskie's the third man, a very brave diving.
Works out for now until Garzi has a shout-out.
Well, that's your fight, Abdullah.
I don't know how much that was needed.
I think he's gonna just throw it to in, girl.
I think that would have been the goal.
The front players never go for the throw-in cassette.
And we'll get to that one later.
Here's Abdullah. He goes for the shot, but it's blocked again.
Every time shut down at the dead of all of these chances,
a pinch central, first hand to it, will be from R8.
Abdullah, dunked, asking low boost.
It's gonna jump, forcing Muhammad to do so as well.
That Garzi has to react fast.
does get it over to WartsNAS and Abdullah.
Five minutes in game one overtime, these teams split by nothing.
There's a battle of mechanics as well, so few guns, so few demos,
they are just taking turns, lobbing grenades at one each other.
HIT THE SHIT, GRINNAKE!
What the hell is the explosion that they were looking for?
Sends a mortar downrange, lands in the trenches,
and the plan's for a game one victory.
end there for R8.
Gentlemates, a very hard thought, game number one,
where I felt like for a lot of it,
R8 for me were more likely to score.
I would agree with you completely.
I think on the eye test,
R8 looked a little bit better,
but Gentlemates used their experience in NAS.
You cannot give that man any time and space on the ball.
Every single player was hugely involved in that one.
R8 has to take the positives from it.
Look across the line there.
I love a score of 432, and my hand was hardly not involved.
Where are these shots going in?
Could they have been taken better?
I believe there was a couple of opportunities
where there could have just been a nice little tapping.
Maybe have it a little bit simpler.
I don't blame the players for thinking
that they needed it for those goals so well crafted for R8.
And off ball bumps were integral.
Straight to the ceiling there for Nass.
The reset round two, absolutely beautiful.
Very hard-pore goal, by no means an easy goal or an easy game for either of these teams that makes you come up there.
They're closing in on the five-minute overtime as well. What a start that is to this series. It's going to be a fun one.
I think we knew it was going to be when a team comes through the meaner gauntlet in the way the R8 have.
You know they have something about them and I just hope they can continue this up throughout the year.
Yes, thanks. You don't just beat Falcon by luck, especially not twice, but these guys are the real deal.
They just took the reigning major champions to a five-minute overtime in their first out against them despite also conceding so early on
Brilliant mental problems so far. We've got a long series ahead. Yes
so
There's that bit there
Which is that one down. All right have to build upon the positives and momentum they did have from that first game
Get to me so I feel now we're going to try and be as controlled as they possibly can
That game was a bit pragmatic a bit chaotic questionable decisions from
both teams at times, they both made own saves for the gentlemen, so just good things.
Okay, let's see if we'll chill here, we've got the control if we are able to take it.
Pass and jump, that's going to shut down my two defenders from R8.
And then their defense so far has been astonishing. Maybe a couple of chances
so far that I've seen the mates that maybe could have been swapped in that one R2 try in
particular, the mechanicality they are having to pull out every single trick in the book
to get anything past our rates back like.
So he takes control from his own backboard and sends it forwards.
If he had 100 moves, maybe he could have done similarly to what?
And that's still in that first game.
Quite to be there. It's like he'll never be a second game.
I think Gentsimates are happy with that.
They don't mind it at all if it's cagey.
Another relatively early goal for Gentsimates.
And the demo, Gasky is returning the favour straight back to Avila,
who was buckling them and demoing in that previous game to lock in their goal.
Little bit of revenge. Let's do it once again. Go ahead by that one
Until it takes that the kickoff and it's a good one there for our right guys. He gets control of it
We're doing anything with it. We're still waiting to see the real R8 one the goal
I feel like I'm in them so far the best goal we've seen it has been NASA's overtime winner and it was a clean flip reset
Hamid
Troll of this one can he wrangle as he goes forwards guys. He has to get something on this one because NASA's coming in
Yeah, that was low boost and risky, but even the right attitude in the end
He saw the front defender for R8, starting to rock back again.
They're like, ''Arty, mate, did you miss this?''
It's going to be very hard for me to do my job next.
Thankfully, Garty could make contact.
He's been very fast in the air.
A massive threat against the mate.
The low who was identified in the interview beforehand
with their coach as being the secure third man
the one they turned to for security.
He is there and now he can begin to flip.
Arty back on the front, but gentlemen,
time to do some defending here.
She gets a lovely clearance as far as her. She slams it out wide.
They get a fake hook out.
They're from Gentlemates at their best.
Dancing around the pitch, fighting each other.
Archie fakes this one, has no interview shooting.
Mohamad has four eyes on him.
Garzi just has to sit and watch with the best seats in the house
as Oscar swats it bottom right.
And I saw a big old smile from Mass as well.
This is always a scary thing.
And an assassin bears his teeth. You better run!
Again, off the kickoff.
The kickoff strategy is happening a lot better.
The fake owl, Oskie, into the immediate new Gentleman's kickoff, as that has been dubbed.
He's there to just manage that video, as I have heard.
Goldy Goy, calls, go new Gentleman's.
I love that kickoff, it's very cool.
David's got a better name for it.
The three nil so far,
and even half way through the game, this one's starting to run away somewhat.
I've got like a new something, other kickoff,
where the ball slams in over your car, bouncing to our goal, that's my favourite.
Twenty-six being kickoff will never die.
There is Oskie lovely touch here from him into a quick reset as well as actually following this one could be a bit of a special goal here from Gentlemace, who in the blink of a couple of eyes have made this game look pretty comfortable, he said, dot, dot, dot.
Gentlemace is laughing.
That makes no contact here, he just completely misflips.
He dives into it at this completely wrong time.
It's just I mentioned the something got me kicked off.
He was showcased wherever on what it looks like.
I mean, that is a very silly play from Nas.
They laugh, don't mind it, but R8 suddenly may well have a confident maker.
It's definitely two and a half minutes for two goals, it's fine.
Ocean of time.
All they need is a few drops to drink, go able to take it.
Here comes my hand, and it looks like the center does.
That one's tipped over the goal line by a gentleman's player.
It's risky that Nass has to expel all of his boost to bring on the next touch.
That one keeps the attack going.
He seems to be the linking man for R8 for sure.
is the one that starts these attacks, and looks like Darcy and Mohamed are able to finish them.
Here is Mohamed, he wants to get the fake after looking at his wealth.
More risky play. I think this is where they need to know they have the point of time.
You know, it's tempting to rush in these situations, but two minutes is okay.
If any given team from Nina is going to play fast, I think that's going to be their default.
That's how they're always played. And if they're not competing in a region with
Balkans with twisted minds, you will be playing very quickly.
So far, I've not really seen that overwhelm gentleman, particularly the only real big
difference making for me had so far has been the off ball play.
Oskie here, chance for that double, doesn't find this self central, with 90 seconds now,
time is running out for RA, can gentlemates lock in an early qualification.
I see Nassis stumbling the ball forwards as well and now we will see RA really start to
go through big nears because time is beginning to tick away, Mohamed might win this one,
Peter Tawoski, a smart play, now he's going back towards his own goal, it's a little bit
awkward again after the first goal the R8 got, Jens may as well have seen another
silly one, he's trying to push that one forwards, a big demo comes in, it's a little bit really
simple in my opinion, Mario as you mentioned something. Such an annoying
demo there too because he immediately makes contact and then his car just goes
flying, actually a bridge does not help him out, I think it was Garzy so
unfortunate for him but good idea, 50 seconds, two goals to chase, around wall
with Garzy. A bit more awkwardly with his corner play, it's chance round, it's chance round!
He's unable to wrap his car around the board to get it nicely on target.
Yeah, that's not be able to complete the game here if he can get this flick.
Not quite. Archie's coming in the shot. He's going off target.
The Hamid pushes it out wide.
That's because Archie gets the dunk and does so brilliantly.
That's key around the corner.
It's really nice play that from Gentleman.
Since conceiving that goal, they've just taken the sting completely out of this game.
And it seems now that we are trickling our way towards a 2-0 Gentleman series,
perhaps an R8 tactical timeout.
I think you can always call
that a garbage goal, but didn't
also change the. Vibe of the
game. I thought it might, you
know, galvanize and think, Oh,
you know what boys? Doesn't
matter how we get the goal. We
can just jump straight into it.
We can go away and get a couple
more. I thought they didn't
actually do anything differently
after going in, which is a
shame. I wonder if they're going
to take their time out so far.
Seems like they're not going to.
Yeah, it's just surprised me. I
thought for sure that you know,
oh two down in a series. You
pretty much always take it, but.
the game. I think it's a lot
more controlled. Nice demos
and having like these lovely
mechanical plays to kick off
goals. Very gentle mates
overall and a very controlled
game again, apart from that
one last miss that they gave
our eight their goal. Pretty
normal across the board and
can confirm as well. But all
right have taken their time
out. For chance to chat here.
I think it's more going to be
about again, they tried to get
those bumps and demos.
Unsettled gentlemates steal
their boost a bit more. We're
not seeing that man, you know,
dive into the back lines and
make it really horrible and all
good. It seemed like a nice
series of rocket League so far.
You know, they're not they're
not bullying each other, not
getting each other's way. It's
like, Oh, you have a turn. It's
almost like a freestyle event
thing, which is great fun to
watch. But I do want to see
some venom flying and maybe
switch to the venom. Maybe a
car change will be helpful.
That'll be kind of fun. But
maybe a car change will be helpful, but I haven't seen that, I don't care if it's the last time it's been better than the RCS ones, but yeah, that's what I think I want to see from, all right, gentlemen, it's about keeping up your patience, keeping up your, sorry, we're just hearing Shogun absolutely scream over us, he's got a voice to Shogun, he does have a loud voice, I'll give him that, he does, and you know what, I was told off on social media for spoiling the ultimate stream, shit, he's doing it for you, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun, shut up Shogun
I'm not going to reveal the
score of what's going on the
alternate stream. So don't
worry about it. Just starting
with Wink. Yeah, over on the
mainstream. It's time to
get time out for all right. I
hope he's been a little more
productive than our
conversation. Filling our
colleague to shut up. Yeah,
just I'm kids. It's really
game three and gentlemen
mates. So far. Boys that are
the R8 half, but in the end, we're able to keep that attack going. Here's after them.
Nass is already up, and Nass got a decent touch on it. He can for now, Archie's in there,
but losing out to Garzy. Garzy gets a couple of blocks, but at least they start hitting
from R8, they look better since that's the plan, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, I think that again, if they don't concede that early goal, they're going to
be seeing them, hoping they're going to the game a bit more. Good chance for a bump there,
but it was Archie going for it.
Lovely attempt, but even better dodged by the R8 player.
Touchback on target, and a nice early jump.
Pamperlough is going to keep it a nil-nil.
Yes, good reflexes there from Ted Offensive.
That's what he wanted to say!
That was a root-ness!
Yeah, that was like American football.
Yes, you bet you got the ball, yeah.
Big smile, and suddenly you don't tackle line.
It won't lead to too much for now.
Oski might be able to change that here if he can.
That shot in the top corner.
That was for a throw in, unfortunately.
Oh, hello, Musty. Nearly there.
Not the idea there for bar eight.
Oh, Nass then skims it along.
Arch was to return with another one.
Nearly the skim into skim.
I mean, that's the kind of play that you can see happening.
When gentlemates are playing at their absolute tippity top.
Nass is gonna take a clean touch here.
Garzi tackles it nicely, though.
I mean, he can't quite get the dunk, so...
early pressure in this one, but after that it's got about 50-50. This is where
Gentlemates almost join that second game. They just ease their way through this
sort of passage of play until eventually the gaps in the RA defence reveal themselves.
But at the same this time, after the try and change, he's going to really shot this time Archie,
not just gets the same, but also keeps them all squished against his car. Good block there for Archie.
Yeah, then leads into the counter-attack. Gartie on his back wall,
It's a legit food and control beat off ski and Archie
His chance to nap beats Nance's will be 100 moves to do so
You know wrap back around and that's the big wall comes up with the book gets past the halfway line immediately caught by Mohammed
No, but it's successful
And these teams are a lot closer in the third game
Yeah, this is a really close game of rock-a-league this one
This one looks like the finish one mil to either team is sweet little moment where I was able to break through the defense
because the defense is deep as well, Kamaray.
They're having that third man sit back,
covering the back wall because they know when they come forwards,
they're able to chain these flick resets together
and really cause some damage,
but have a tough not going in, but in the end,
Archie's flick is only as far as Mohamed.
And Kamaray can tend to keep it all in the center of the pitch again.
No, it wasn't who gone.
Oskie blended in with the floor.
Couldn't see him.
Nice and great pass to the ceiling.
Oskie takes it low, nearly that move was for every defender.
And we see him, these more ingenious
All unique plays come through from the mates up high.
Beats now by Mohammed, caught out by Oskie in the midfield,
and this is just passing the ball back and forth.
So far, R8 have had a couple of chances to score,
but gentlemen to keep them up there and vice versa.
Mohammed, this up all forwards.
He wants to follow up himself again.
He does.
He's waiting for this slide.
So, title game three here.
Will that be heartbreak for R8?
Our gentleman is able to be spoiling the lean and party.
That's a lose, it's 15-boosh, just to keep my hand,
but it's a nice play from him.
Now he's in the centre.
I'd say the ball has been spent more in the gentleman's half,
but I haven't done too much with it so far this game.
RG tests control of this ball.
Nice low touch, but I couldn't tell him where to keep control of,
but I'll maybe pass it instead.
A higher game with Nasta, has his flip,
gives it to B1, RG's next to it, chance for a double,
Thanks to Oskar Scherz!
Final 50!
Gentlemates break the deadlock!
Yeah, just in the last 20 seconds,
Gentlemates finally had that ball
in the blue half and they had boots
and they were able to string some passes together.
And it's not going to be missed.
And now R8 have to go full attack dog.
Are they able to do it?
45 left, they lose the kickoff.
Oskar has a chance here to kill it.
He goes to the ceiling.
He's got the reset.
Is it getting into the corner?
Yes!
Large Oscar!
Shots up and towers over Eiffel!
Gorgeous tap down from the ceiling read into double.
2-0 for the Nates.
Looking to be clear of their group.
Over the Eiffel, and that was not an eyesore,
that was a beautiful go-way from Oski.
Worth it winning any series.
It might be a fantastic arena, right?
Gentlemen, just give the reminder that these newbies are the only ones who've got mechanical skills.
The Garzey next one to it, same to make Baye Oskie wants to keep it a nice simple 2-0.
The chance for Archie, final 20, can R8 bring anything back?
No!
Baye Oskie has anything to say!
We have Nassim Bossen, and maybe just maybe Parris isn't looking like the domain of the Oscar.
Here's looking...
Mechie out there.
Another 3-0 game so far.
Reminiscent of the second.
Will it be a cheeky offer?
R.A. has a parting gift.
Doesn't look like it.
Gentlemates, with a hard four, ultimately,
3-0 series, especially game number one,
and the R.A. have got a lot to learn from this game.
It just makes looking like as expected the favorites from this group. They take the victory there. It wasn't easy
All right, top of the good fight against them, but wasn't gonna be enough in the end
I feel like looking back all right have to have a first game in hindsight. You lose anything
Oh, man, what's that our chance? Yeah, I had a couple more shots that we saw in the next couple of games
They seemed a bit more floating not quite as much intention
No scoring overall for RA. Not fully clinical by Gen2Mate, but they got the job done 3-0.
It's hard to criticize.
Yeah, job done. That seems to be the story here from Gen4Mate. But it is not easy, you
know. You win your major. We saw an open call for EU when Gen4Mate went out very early.
Not swell, though, however. But it's possible that if you just take your foot off the gas
pedal for one second, so many other players and teams overtake you, Gen2Mate have learned
Now they're able to feel a series where they're maybe not their magnificent best, but they still have moments.
Oskie there, he was the one who had those moments, and that's what they're going to do in that series.
Now it's going to mean that the gentlemen are going to be going through from group D into our playoff bracket.
We don't know our position yet, but they have secured top three, Cole, so we will be seeing them later on this week.
Exciting, exciting.
We'll be able to make a crowd as well, that'll be so exciting.
and seeing these players in front of a French crowd that will be there to adorn them.
And he's some of the more, I'm sure, but Casey and Vitality fans
don't be saying the same thing.
But speaking of people saying stuff, here's Lee for say some stuff.
We are going to say some things. Archie, congratulations on the win there.
I got to ask first off, talk to your coach before.
What's wrong with him?
Everything's wrong with that guy, you know?
He thinks he's like too cool to do interviews.
He said he's been in the game.
He said he's been in the game too long.
Like, oh, he's never been in the top level.
So why is he not taking interviews now?
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
He's at the top level, but it's through you guys.
He's just riding on your hard work.
Exactly, but we wanted to do some interviews for once,
because he never does them, but he says,
nah, nah, he wants us to shine, but we want him to shine.
That's true.
Hey, well, we'll get him out here one day.
We are walking to the game that we saw here today
for you guys coming into this.
I mean, you have to feel confident, obviously,
coming off the Boston Major before people looking at you
as kind of a favorites here.
Are you guys feeling that as well?
I mean, we don't really care about being a favorites,
but we always know we're strong.
We're strong, but when we play our game we think we can be everyone, so this group definitely has the hardest teams I think, I think it's definitely the hardest one to go first seed, but it's...
How do you feel about R8 then?
I mean, I don't know what to expect, I mean I kind of knew they were getting overrated by the fans a bit, I saw Johnny Borg maybe putting them top 4, top 5, 6 world, like they haven't really done anything, like respectfully the MENA region is like good, but they haven't really performed that well in the past few lands.
We don't know we're attacking them, we should know that better.
But I mean, they're like solid, but I don't really know what the playstyle was.
But they definitely paused under some pressure, especially which game was it?
Game one. Game one they played good, to be honest. But after that it was a bit like an easier series.
Do you think it's just LAN experience maybe for you guys? Maybe they can just hold that together as much as you guys can?
For sure. I mean, it's what? I think it's Mohamed's first LAN and then over through second LAN.
Second for the others, yeah.
I mean, the issue is that it's probably hard for them to make LANs because Falcons obviously usually are so good.
but I mean it's good experience for them and I think they can definitely be
furia in the next game but we'll see what happens then. Now I gotta ask just
look at the words of weekend with like fans and stuff because we know there's
gonna be a lot of wilds wildest lands that we ever had. How are you feeling like
internally right? Cuz like that's gotta be a little exciting and inducing knowing
how many people are gonna be watching and making noise over there. No it's just
honestly it's not really anxiety small it's just like excitement. It's just cool to see
you know for a rock league tournament that as many people could actually be here.
I think it's gonna be insane. It's gonna be absolutely insane man. Hope to see you there. Maybe you guys get another one
All right, congratulations on that when we got a lot more broccoli coming here
We're remembering a stream and B stream going on but up next here on the a stream. We do have man city versus energy
You're not gonna want to miss it
Oh, it looks like you're backing up a bit here, okay, Luann?
Is there a Luann in the house?
Remember, you don't work here.
Young homeowners love to get involved with everything.
Luann going once.
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents.
Luann?
But we can't protect your home in auto when you bundle with us.
All right, Luan.
I'm gonna make everybody jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump!
Yo, yo, yo!
the world forward on the road and far beyond.
I shall learn, motion for life.
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Aaaaaaah!
It's okay.
Stay there.
Okay, Lost, welcome in!
What's on the back door, I reveal? Oh, the bump!
Well, okay, revealed, got bumped by one player, bumped by a teammate who wants to get in to try and cover from the fact that he was bumped.
Yeah, none of that's worked whatsoever for them.
Final minute.
Dury made this a lot more possible than they did before.
Lost no boost, he's gonna have to pump it down.
Dan was lurking and waiting, gets a bump on one,
swept up next to the challenge.
No center's given, it's just a shot on point.
Just know that they've got to hit it perfectly
if they're gonna try and get past the space station,
Defender.
Reveal on the wall, Diaz.
Well, guess where he's going?
Dan, you're in trouble.
You realize that the side to go a little bit
earlier than usual.
30 seconds.
Don't own goal that Yan!
Gets away without quite nicely.
The final 20 approaching both numbers of Furia in their side but Reville's gonna play it in the air.
You see Diaz try and open up some space. He goes for the 1v1 on it. It's quick follow.
Almost red, almost there but not quite.
Yan looking to try and print one more opportunity. It's not lost.
It's not...it's teammate Eva, Swift was in the round.
Little hesitation material one final chance. Yeah, you've been chased for it
reveal when it goes for the summer skim that we place it straight down
Space station undefeated in the group such a great one to this team
I think that is just lovely to see isn't it?
Oh, we are! We are on the wall!
Oh, no!
Hello!
Everybody, to Paris, we are here from Paris Live.
There is no crowd.
I'm not going to lie, I was waiting at the camera and the phone was like, hey!
Yeah, we're here in Paris. There's no crowd yet, but the energy is still wild.
Dude, well, the players are ten feet away from us behind the wall, so...
Yeah, there's walking past you just feel the aura from the players walking around
Who who who's the most got it? He's got the nose dude the whole KC team
Remember in Copenhagen one time we were warming up for vitality and like round five of Swiss and we were like hard
from this moment on he starts peeking.
Did you see Tristan Lines?
Yeah, they're not dead.
What if they don't lose a game for now?
We set that up.
My opponent, he would have made it.
He would have made it at all.
Don't mind it.
I wouldn't mind it.
Monkey 3 Pete, go conversations.
Is he the goat?
No, he's the goat.
Oh, right now.
I do.
Surely.
You think?
Yeah, I think so.
Right now.
Yeah.
Why?
What?
Who are you saying?
Turbo?
I think it's Turbo.
Get up, Turbo.
Get up's a good shout if you want to talk about it.
All time like everything included including like content. I think K-Dub
Run away run away
Guys good stuff shout the ssg guys. Yeah, how you an sg content crew? Oh, yeah, of course
Oh, I loved it. I loved it. We have an ssg 2o up. We have gentle mates to all in
Arguably the hardest group right? I'm so arguably and that was that sg series is a pretty even series
I'm really excited to see them for the rest of the tournament.
We've got them vs. gentlemates coming up.
Winner of that's number one.
2-0 teams.
2-0 teams.
So gentlemates coming in kind of the favorites.
I'll say how many have they come up?
I think so, yeah.
I think maybe one, but I don't think so.
I don't count.
Yeah, I think, yeah.
Can we get predictions?
That's serious.
Yeah.
I'm that serious.
That's important.
That's for top six, right?
I have made some four.
Yeah, that's important.
That's that's important. That's for top six right? I am a team for
It's important. Yeah, mate. That's a joke for the group
So go back
We all want to know what you're going to take a gas. What do you think I would be?
You know game five for real who scores the winner at scribbles. He's back. You know that you know that yeah, what's the KPH?
What kind of shot is it?
What kind of goal is it?
He's going to rip it like top right and it's going to go like front spark.
He's going to have to say yeah.
He's going to have to say yeah.
That's just a screamer.
It's just a great absolute screamer.
Landroading!
I'm going with me.
It's simple as you know.
You've got, yeah.
And how many?
Four?
Don't say three.
Don't say three.
I think they're going to put it away in three.
No.
No you are not.
Get away from it.
I'm sorry. We just saw the players walk on for energy man city. Both teams to an O in their group winner goes three
No, goes one seat at top six the Ruppers. Okay going into the event. You you're like, okay, I don't do it with that
Man City looks good. No, I do. Yeah
Anyone taking the okay Daniel did go back to the phoenix and then they won the series. Yeah, so
So do we see them each by side like crazy?
I don't think I take the upset, but like I wouldn't hate it if you did.
I got NRG in 4.
I got back NRG.
It's hard to vote against in the last couple of years.
I think as soon as they get to the point where they're about to lose, they're like,
oh wait, we have to play.
And then they just play.
energy yeah yeah together for like three years harder against them hey
remember the watch party in London I think that's crazy yeah we're watching
London two years ago just disgusting quads out of again oh my god oh yeah
it's lovely at minimum greatest human in a history but probably greatest even
all time I mean take I don't know it's close you got coached by Panda you're
by a team of them. A little magic cheese. A little RMC Gen G action. That's up there.
I like Gen G. That's up there. Yeah, I don't know if I can get behind that one. I did hang
out with cheese this morning and gatering though. He was feeling good. He said it was his first
time playing Zen since we played them in 2024 Copenhagen. How's that go? Game 5 lost. Oh
yeah, that was a good series wasn't it? Was that one of your most memorable kind of? Probably.
Yeah, yeah, those. Yeah, it was a good match round five game five. Like yeah midnight series last series of the day
That's odd. Yeah, I was that's hot squad. We were first match twos before like four eight twelve
I've had a lot of clothes long days long days, but that's what the players have to deal with
You go deal with it. Yeah, what I love about it right now is it feels like there's no like guaranteed clear favor, right?
We have no that's not a lot of
Yes, because it's like probably gentlemates, but they didn't get the one seed near you
You still like vitality shop by energy twisted like this teams lurking Casey Casey
Yeah, so yes face nation for Gen G. So I think okay, let's go through who do we think is winning each group?
That was me okay, let's say group a I grew payout energy or city and our gene. Yeah, we go to that one
Yeah, yeah group B is the
The K-Corp Vitality one? Is that one?
I know Group B is SSG.
I can think of the team to the chat, but I can't think of like, which Group it is.
Okay, let's go to Group D. SSG Gentlemates.
Group A, Call me Vitality.
Well, Call me for the Call me Vitality, I've already kind of, oh yeah, Call me for what
you talked about, because they're about to play Wildcorp.
We've got group B, the man C, NIG, we've gone with NIG across the board. Group C, we've
got a very biased man on the other side of table. Are you going with shop fire?
Oh yeah, they just, they played Nick, I'm going to go shop fire. And then gentleman's
SSG, we've spoken about that. So we're looking at two of these.
There's some one sad. Did you ever?
No, nobody ever circle back to me. You guys have something about it.
It happens. I mean, I'm not worried about it. I was gonna say gentlemen's apart. Okay. Okay. I
To you top six to lights
It's looking lively around here then that's not bad crowd comes in tomorrow
Rough season so far for Mina and Sam and where do you guys think Falcons places in this major if they made it here?
Like take out take out all depends on their group take out all right
Put them in the right screw. Top 8. Top 6 maybe.
Alright, Scroop is hard. Yeah, but they're freaking out at that.
They're definitely out of luck.
They get absolutely cowed.
They don't win that though.
They don't beat Pikes.
I think we're wrapping up here.
It's great being here on the main show again.
Thank you. Tomorrow is going to be great today.
It's going to be amazing. Let's make it a good one.
Take care. Goodbye.
Peace.
The action continues in Paris.
As the gentlemates walk through
R8 one more time,
Furia gave it their best effort
over on the alternate stream as well.
But ultimately fell there as well,
and the groups are starting to solidify here.
Welcome back to the desk.
That's how today been so far.
They've been good.
You know, had a good opener,
you know, twist of mind came in,
take care of business and now get to watch
a little bit of smooth sailing.
I want to say that the group stages
continue on, but nothing too.
I would say too wild. It's happening outside of TSM and rebellion. I was almost wild. It's like so close. You're right
Is that what happened yet? Like we almost give people one point for predictions
Actually do if they make it to game five. All right. Well, listen today's been good so far guys listen like the Marseille ten four
What's in that in that prediction prediction contest? We're talking about the game
I'm up there at the top actually listen, you don't need to talk about that. We have a great game so far
S.S.G. though with the different in the mainstream or the B-String.
B-String. Oh, they look great. They look great against Ferry. Who was on the mainstream?
Oh, it was the gentleman's versus a B-String. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
The gentleman's already had a great game number one. That's out of the five.
The city's highlight. Clearly, you didn't watch.
I did Ferry. It's a little forget-the-land.
A little setback. Mates and R8, it was incredibly close and winning.
You're the underdog and you're going this long over time.
Those are the games you just have to win. You know that for R8. Once they lost that,
And of course, it was because of Nass.
Another master class here.
Shot put that on the top 10 players.
Oh, it is.
It is.
But that's such a big goal for the Mates
to get that momentum going.
And then after that, it was all over.
I mean, after that was all Mates.
And listen, we talk about Nass in these moments,
but you're not going to see that game number one.
Archie had seven saves.
And he had a couple of moments where they kind of
saved just a couple of cuts.
Just keep on giving his team some life in that overtime.
It was a pure team effort to stop that R8 offense.
If R8 does win game one, we might
complete a different series but at the end of the day Mesa is too good at this
Asagi that comes off I think Stumpy said he went up to the hyper tower and came
back down with ball and this is exactly what happened already. They played well
so far in this tournament I mean they had this had some class games because
general mates class games just SSG. It's just tough. It's just tough.
Having a tough road so far. R8's having a tough road here but the Mates come out on top but
they are supposed to win this game. They're pretty comfortable 3-0 there outside of game 1.
I mean, two kickoff goals, a fair pair of the mates, RA notably.
No time spent ahead in the series.
So they never felt once that they never had
gentlemen mates have to come back against them.
They were always trying to make a comeback against gentlemen mates.
And that's our hard position to be in.
Their young team, though, I know they played meanwhile.
And he's still at the chance, man.
Like I said, there's the participation trophy.
So all they got to do, all they got to do is play one more match.
And win that one.
And then they'll be playing tomorrow.
Exactly, playing period.
That's going to be a big one.
Both teams 0 and 2 right now.
Yeah, and hard to kind of get an idea of like who's who's the favorite they're just going off of the results because both teams have
Got a game for against SSG and both teams have gotten swept by gentlemates
So who knows you know it's really about a factor the group says starting to get more interesting at both the groups
We have left because you again TSM look good because we're better
And are they gonna keep that up in their matchup later?
And then like you said the way we saw earlier with all right again
They're looking also a very aggressive team
It'll be interesting to see how they do against the South American team like here
We know can also be just as aggressive
So lots of interesting matches. We'll have to round this up. It's not a participation trophy all the way baits
They still got to earn something here if they want to play for a French crowd tomorrow
But it does make this group very easy at this point. We got the two two and O's they will battle in round three later
Love a for the number one seed that is what you want and the two oh twos
But for fury as well
They're fighting for one of those lcq spots if fury wins that that definitely helps their case to get that fourth lcq
Group T though gonna be done for a little bit here
We'll give them a break. We'll come back and finish that group off a little later on here on day two. The groups are continuing to solidify as we're looking ahead here. It's going to be group B action next. And speaking of teams that are two and O and O and two, it's kind of where we're heading here. A similar score line up there for group B. So for Manchester City versus LG, that is a first place finish for Made in Brazil versus five fingers. That is a win and end to tomorrow.
Listen, all fears are sneaky right there.
They're sneaky.
You never know what guns will take my bus up a day.
And if five years does win that, and if both Sam's coming last in their groups, SSA would
get an LCQ spot.
Which is very possible.
Which is a little insane.
It's possible.
It's insane.
That would happen.
But listen, SSA, if you're on an up and up, maybe all the other regions on the down and
down.
Well, it is for SSA, I mean, this is such an incredible opportunity, and if it were to
win, it would be the most impactful win in their region's history.
not only beating a team from South America,
but also getting that L CQ spot.
So make sure you got that alternate stream pulled up
twitch.tv slash RLE Sports.
They're having fun over there.
I think it's CJ that's holding down the desk.
So if you enjoy any of Cameron Johns,
you want to go watch that broadcast mainstream here.
We got a few more matches on the day as well.
Vitality and footy sports coming up a little bit later on.
But let's start to get into it, folks.
The reigning defending champions of the world, NRG.
Take it on Man City.
Man City 2 and 0 in the group.
They've done a great job so far getting the wins,
but now they're going to take on the big dogs.
And the importance of this match is absolutely huge.
If you win this, you win your group.
You have two lives for chance at top four.
If you lose, you go down to basically a lower bracket.
You have to win three matches in a row to get top four.
So such different takes if you're first versus if you're
in the middle of this group.
So we'll see if Man City can take it to the NA champions.
NRG was expected to win this group before the event started, but Man City is going to
try and give it their best right now.
My name is Edgeby and I'm a professional rugby player from Manchester City, Eastport.
We're representing Europe and I'm playing with Seiko, Akko and Noah as coach.
I mean, Noah has a lot of experience, one major, and he's been a top coach, he's been
helping me a lot since we started working with him. And Acro is just a super talented player.
Seiko is a newer addition, but we've slotted really well in both on and off the field.
Yeah, Seiko just brings a lot to the team. I'm a guy who likes to look at a lot of people's
different predictions. I think a lot of people are honestly underestimating us and overestimating
a lot of other teams, especially in the other regions. And I think we're going to surprise
I've always dreamed of making major and it feels amazing to be here and also in front of this crowd.
So I mean, I'm really excited.
At the Paris Major, Man City is also here to prove that we can hang with the best.
Down in the pit with Noah here from Man City.
We talked to you the other day, but it's a brand new day.
I just want to get another look at what the vibes are like now going into.
It feels like it's smiles and fun, but there is a hard opponent in the crowd.
I mean, yeah, the vibe is so great.
We're just enjoying our time here.
And yeah, hopefully we'll get the win.
Yeah, I mean, again, let's show off your mechs, guys.
All right, there.
OK, he's done.
He ran out.
He's already out of juice.
He knows.
He knows.
Go on.
He's camera shy.
Come on.
Show us your mechs.
Oh, there we go.
Chat hates us right now, by the way.
But, yeah, no, it looks like you guys are having fun.
But of course, this is a hard opponent.
So I'm wondering if you're approaching this match,
maybe a little bit different differently than some of the others?
I mean, we approach every match the same, we put the same amount of prep in, treat these guys sort of as everyone else.
We know that if we play our game, we can win, but obviously we do respect them, they're a very good team.
This was one of the teams that I did want to play, coming into the Major because it's a good, I think a good like benchmark test is kind of where we are for the rest of the tournament.
Obviously, we're guaranteed the stage, which is nice, but we're not going to take it lightly, we're here to get our top set.
Hey, well, hopefully you guys can get it done
and you can lock in when it comes to the actual match here
because, again, it is a tough opponent.
So good luck, and we're going to take a look at your opponents
right now.
My name is Atomic, and I play for Energy Sports.
Right now, we're the reigning world champs.
We won in Lyon, maybe like eight months ago,
and we're back in France now.
Every LAN we are like just the entire time we're just messing around, honestly.
And obviously when we practice, we take it seriously, but we're like way closer now than, you know,
when we first teamed up, like we didn't really know each other too well.
But now we're like always making jokes, literally like hanging out the entire time.
And it's always like fun.
Last split, we actually started out like in a more rough spot.
We like did not do good the first regional, but then we won the next two.
So we got the first seed.
seed but this time it was a bit more calm we we still got we didn't win the
first regional but we got second I would say energy's approach in one sentence
would be trying to suffocate the opponent trying to essentially not give
them time to set up defense and like actually challenge as a team we're
trying to play at a speed that if we're doing it right no one can really beat us
the whole team is trying to prove that we're so like contenders to win
international tournaments because I mean we obviously won we won worlds not that
long ago but I mean we didn't like how Boston went I think we want to you know
at least make a finals here and make it like a deep run like we did in the
worlds and I think once we get to that semi's match we'll be very hungry and
try to just close out the tournament. We boot camp at the exact same places we
did for worlds and we were getting a lot of like the same vibes so yeah I mean
France might be our lucky spot, so, I mean, hopefully.
Now, I'm with Saty with NRG.
We just heard, you know, a bit of a description of the play style there in one sentence.
I'll bring it down to one word, suffocating.
I'm assuming you're going to agree with that since your players did.
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the idea behind our team.
I feel like that's our identity.
And, you know, I know some people maybe don't think like that,
but we're pretty confident that that's the way.
Yeah, sure. And I guess every team says this,
is where it's like if we're playing our game, we should win.
What are some of the things that can go wrong, I guess?
Does it just come down to maybe how fast the brain is moving
on the days?
It comes to actual mechanical mistakes.
What are those places you see things break down?
Yeah, I mean, obviously, first case
is just execution, peer execution.
If that's often, you're going to play quarterly.
Structurally, sometimes, if things aren't
being followed as they should, that's
where also things break down.
And then honestly, what's really important too
is matchup-wise and stylistically
is the other team playing in a way that makes your way bad.
So those all three are kind of needs to fall apart.
Right, now, I mean, hopefully it doesn't happen for you guys.
I am curious, coming in today though,
vibes, did things change a little bit for you?
I mean, on the other side, they're laughing and joking around here.
For you, knowing, OK, Man City's one of those big docs,
one of those teams that we might have to face in a championship
Sunday, did the approach they changed when it came to mentally,
how you guys were preparing?
Yeah, I'd say we're just kind of more locked in than we were yesterday.
I think we're just a lot more serious today.
I think the intention is kind of there,
and I think we're waking up.
No more Batmobiles then?
No more Batmobiles, no more a lot of stuff.
That's fair.
No more a lot of stuff just down to business.
Hey, well, good luck.
Hopefully you guys can take the dub there.
Let's get on with it.
We just got it.
Oh, I can't talk to there.
We got to match the play.
Let's get through it.
You know, as the story of energy has continued,
and now into its third year here,
we have started to discuss and started this study,
like, what is it about this team that
makes them so consistent and makes them stay at the top.
So, like so long, such longevity here.
I can't talk either, Leith.
And Tonic in that interview,
or the little video segment we saw,
he said like, well, you know, I mean, yeah,
we won worlds like not that long ago,
but we then haven't had the results we wanted to
in places like Boston.
And the way he's talking is like,
the world championship was forever ago
and they've been super inconsistent since then.
And it's one event, one event on land
that they have not been consistent on.
That they still made top four.
And that's hunger.
The hunger of him feeling like this is not enough.
I'm not sitting on top of anything right now.
I still have so much to prove is a huge part
of what puts this team out on the front.
Well, I mean, when you talk about this NRG team
and what their goals are for this year,
they're looking for, you know,
to submit their legacy as players.
They're all amazing players individually
and as a team, and they've been together for so long
that they can continue to win on that level.
Then of course, you know, that's what they're looking for.
To X their name in the history books
is one of the best teams of all time.
So you have to have that level of expectation
if you're them. But then on the other side, you have man city.
You got at beginning an interview talking about how team, he feels like his
team's underrated. He feels like any teams are overrated here.
I mean, you, you set yourself up here for man city, even with no one
in his interview to where now you are making a statement to say that, you
know, of course you want people to put your team on notice, but now you're
putting yourself in a position where you think you're definitely going to
upset this NRG team, which is a smart mindset to have. But we haven't seen
anything like that from them yet.
Yeah, I feel like when you talk about that, when Man City or any European talks about
NA being a weak region, though, they're always talking about everyone outside of NRG.
Because NRG, everyone knows, can ball.
They are always a contender to an every single event.
They always finish top four at all these international spots.
So I think in his comments, I think he's honestly talking about the rest of North America outside
of energy.
I think they expect to be underdogs here.
They expect to lose it, but you got to put up your best fight.
This might seem like a weird thing to point out but in his interview the very first thing
edgeby said was I'm edgeby and I'm a professional rock only player the way he said that like
I mean obviously they're all professional rock only players but there's like there was an
intent behind it for the war and describing himself with that he's taking this job seriously
he wants this to be his legacy here and what a way to stamp that legacy by taking down energy
here and being the number one team out of the group of light that everyone expected energy
to have who do you think's got to let us know in the fan vote we'll make our picks up here
here on the desk. Is anyone going? Is there an energy line here? Everyone's going at RG.
Yeah, it's energy. Yeah, it's energy. Okay, guys. Let's see if the coin goes the other
direction here. Energy one side man city on the other. Can fake get man cities back.
They do. They do. But I love it there. Does that mean something? Who knows? It does. It
does. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does.
if it gets there. What is there a recipe for success here? You know this is the obvious
question.
Man City is going to be playing a lot of defense. Protect your corner boosts. You have to protect
your corner boosts because you have to be able to counter-attack. If Energy plays how
they want to play, they're going to take your corner boosts and even if they mess up somewhere,
you can't counter-attack because you're all going to be on no boost. So protect your
back corner boosts.
How important is it to avoid Champions Field here for Man City?
I actually think it's great for them. They push the Champions Field.
Really?
They wouldn't want that.
Yeah, the longer this goes, the greater chance they get.
Yep, for NRG, he's going to try to end this quickly.
You don't want to play it deep at the team
and go into the Champions field.
It's always nervy.
I could not disagree more.
No, this NRG team, you do not take these boys to a place
where their names are etched on the field.
The thing about energy, we describe them as inevitable.
It doesn't matter how bad they look.
The more opportunities you give them
to win, the better chance they have of coming out on top.
They've got to end this World Champions field in my feeling.
NRG the fan favorite the desk favorite the coins got man City does is there something in the air here folks
This is a big one a David versus Goliath, but with massive implications
Everything to gain here for man City the winner of this goes on and is number one out of their group
And they'll have the chance to top four in the bracket man City versus energy
in the group on the line. Manchester City has given up seven goals in seven games. NRG
gives a five and a half shots per game. Both teams are going to try to suffocate the other.
Game one brought to you by Professor as we kick off the finale in Group B.
And I, you know, think it's the interview airing at this time.
I'm trying to put a target on his back.
Yep.
Say hey.
People are not given up for respect we deserve
because we deserve more than in a.
Just remember which region does have the Iranian world champs
and I bet we ever needed a reminder.
They're sitting right next to him.
This one's saved away off to the corner.
Get close to the best by Daniel.
That's beat our brother Seiko trying to bring this back
all the way towards Acro as he makes the save.
And Acro again stuffing Beast Mode in the air.
And not letting NRG get set up too comfortably
on their half of the field.
Seiko the World's MVP!
Comes to the rescue for Man City again.
Another early goal for Seiko.
A beautiful play as well.
You can see Seiko having full trust in HB on that pass,
goes up to the ceiling.
A pass on a dime as well.
And this NRG defense gets tough to crack normally.
You know, you look at the stats over in an eight,
best defense time and time again, season after season.
You've heard Sathu and the players
talk about how they play that suffocating style.
Well, it's not off to a great start for NRG.
He smoked, bullied off the ball,
my sake, Ogu is just having a tremendous group stage
here so far in Paris.
The resurgence of his career this year might be studied.
He'll bring the ball out of the zone.
Just catching a piece of atomic there.
Now Akro getting away from atomic.
But Daniel there to slow him to man-city attack.
Seiko shot dealt with by atomic.
Great stuff from Seiko.
Seiko even getting his world championship title.
atomic back on G2 and where did that happen a diggie's arena huh interesting
a lot of history made there it stacks there sure has been there will be much
more again would it be this time for V's voted to imagine NRG running back to
back for it's a lot of history to contend with acro stop well before that
could become a shot and you're seeing Man City now just again trying to control
things after a great shot saved away by Akro incredibly well read another
opportunity for NRG they've been viewing far between though as Man City have
mostly controlled the pace after getting the opener from Seiko. You saw that
brief moment there they were successfully suffocating Man City
Captain Law on boost, but Nancy held up for the pressure still on it in our team.
One of the things they do fast, one of the ways they're able to suffocate the other team is by adding those extra layers of misdirection.
But now look at that!
No misdirection needed! Telegram shot to the top corner, but it was unstoppable!
That's just a tremendous faster interview too. I mean, maybe you would have liked to put a little more zip on it,
But he served up Acro perfectly, well defended, but offense beats defense on that occasion.
Man City continues to impress on both ends of the field as they've got now a two goal lead over the reigning world champs.
All three direct attempts, front of net, knee smote, gloves playing, had aggressive first man, and this dangerous as well.
Up and over, Seiko.
Seiko though does land the bum.
It's going to give Edgeby the ball.
Got a flip reset.
Didn't get to do anything with it.
Acro now.
He was on back wall.
And there's no way anybody on his side should have read that.
He was going to win that ball through.
Daniel went for this to get into the goal line.
Again, just trying to play a very measured defensive pace
here for NRG, not panicking with the two goal deficit.
But the opportunities presented to them has been minimal at best.
Daniels took a big wide turn on this, put nothing behind the shot,
and Sinkler just booms it away.
And Man City, I think, will be contented to that.
I mean, we've seen NRG, again, trying to play a more possessive style
on their defensive side.
Oh!
Oh!
And it finally stays off for NRG.
Far down from atomic.
Not a lot of boost to make the play.
Just a simple shot on net.
Places it so well.
Espey, thinking that he had that angle covered.
And he was just a great shot from its homing.
He's got energy at playing in this game.
A chance for them to come back as well.
And if you've watched a lot of energy,
you know they are good at those last minute, last second,
zero second efforts.
Some people call it fly armor.
That is the best, most accurate description
you could have for NRJ's ability to perform in this spot.
Another one!
Oh man!
Atomic was scored with the demo down in front.
And it just like that.
So much amazingness on this play.
The demo, the flipperies at the pass.
The shot, how it was approached by Atomic
to not rush the shot.
Everything so clean about that play from NRG and now Man City will be tested.
They started out the game hot.
It looked like it was gonna be all Man City.
Now they find themselves playing defense.
Playtime's over.
You gotta knock out the champs.
You're not just gonna get it handed to you for sure.
After all, nothing in the tech at all.
Needs entry to come take over.
Tried to get it down towards Seiko, and this demo in the air just ruptured the entire play.
This is boomed back towards the energy net.
Only it's hard to get, nobody's got any boost, except on the side of Man City.
Can they take advantage here with the close-out?
Get away, Ken! Catch me, the hero!
It was a skim touch, tried for Atomic, if he makes contact on that hole,
He gets the clear, doesn't make contact,
it ends up being an open shot opportunity.
Put away by Man City.
Kickoff strike for NRG.
That's a good one.
Oh, the pre-job.
It looks like B's voted pre-jumped that pass.
A little bit too much aggression from NRG and Man City hold off.
In exciting game one, they had a great start.
Let off the gas a little bit.
You saw Atomic starting things with that bar down shot.
And then the team effort to demo into the flip reset pass
to Atomic.
It looked like NRG was going to be surging back,
but then that missed sidewall double.
Not sure if Atomic had enough boost.
It looked like maybe David was trying
to go for the perfect skin touch.
I ended up giving up that shot opportunity for Man City.
They put it away.
Team hat trick for them, everyone contributing to that win.
Edgeby, Seiko, Akro all get the goal.
And it was a great start.
Seiko, getting things going with a wonderful team play.
Adjubi, that pass to Seiko was so good,
but even the execution was brilliant.
Yep.
I think a very promising game one for Manchester City.
Very promising game one.
And really from both these spots, too.
This is the kind of matchup that fascinates me,
maybe more than any other type, where you've got two teams
that, yes, they have a reputation for playing very
defensively.
However, they want to frame it themselves,
whether it's with smothering offense
or just lockdown defense.
But as two teams that can play their style in any situation,
they don't get flustered by the score line.
I could watch these two teams play a game like that
in a best of 15.
Here we go now, the temple.
As it's only five games here in the group station,
almost a quick strike from Edgeby to kick it off.
Well, at one point to reinforce what Edgeby was saying,
how, you know, people are probably underestimating them.
Tell them, remember, energy is the number one seed
out of North America, Man City, the 50 out of EU.
It just goes to show you how dominant,
how strong this EU region is.
They have Carmine to thank for being here.
I think it really has Carmine to thank for being here
at both lands that he's played at.
As Akro goes underneath,
he's there and supporters, Sinko needed him.
He'll run out of juice
And did not get the last touch as he fell down.
A more possession for Manchester City.
This is about where they scored in game one.
But NRG have held the line in the encore.
Devils from Atomic trying to get that suffocating attack going.
Just the faint you see gets Edgeby going,
gets the mid-views, moves beautifully done from Atomic.
Reset pass over, is broken up by Sego.
But you can see that willingness for NRG
to make that unexpected play that might feel
good stuff for the Tommy.
Good discipline from Daniel there too.
It's a situation where a lot of times
you might see NRG go for a free jump.
Daniel realized the whole play was defended.
There was no point.
The risk was not worth the possible reward.
As the Tommy slowed down by Edgeby.
Edgeby indirect off the ceiling looking for Seiko.
But Beastmo's in the way and now it's there trying.
Pass it back to Akro.
Daniel's having none of that as he forces it on and that's me make sure to grab the quarter boos.
That's a good job from Manchester City defending both corner boos from NRG.
Gonna make things difficult now, say that we're trying to get this ball out.
Does get a piece of that on the challenge allowing Acro to be first to the ball.
Flip reset past one defender, beast mode.
It's been for Daniel.
Daniel denied as well.
So all around, great effort so far from Manchester City.
They haven't let NRG get much going.
Really just feel like you're watching a mirror match here.
And only five seconds separated game one from an overtime.
Both teams had to work hard for each of the five goals scored in the opener.
But they're good touch back.
Get this ball cleared away.
Acro redirecting to the corner.
He could chase it himself and hinder NRG.
Shot on target from Seiko.
We're meant to be denied by a brick wall set up by NRG.
Acro will distance back off to the corner,
and NRG will reset the festively.
You saw the double commit from NRG.
That forced the tonic to have to go for that boom.
Just a quiet time for his teammates
to get back into rotation.
NRG struggling to keep up so far.
In all man cities, still squaleless, still tied,
but man city has had most of the possession.
What can NRG do off this rebound set up by Daniel Beast Mode?
Did all he could.
The defense of Seiko just far too great.
When you look at the offense of these two squads,
where Daniel had been all vibes mode with the Batmobile early on in the group stage,
leads NRG with 10 goals coming into this matchup.
Seiko has already added to his double-digit tally.
Ackerman is rolling down with a double tap under the corner.
Such a great shot.
Gets into the backboard, but then to put that hot corner ball down in that situation,
giving the defender no chance.
That shows great composure.
Ackerman started with both of his goals.
Remember the first goal he scored, the defense was there,
there and he just barely slipped it through the eye of the needle.
Right on today.
You're gonna win a lot of matchups when you can come up with those shots that ordinary
players just can't under pressure.
Coming up on the final minute now of game two.
Acro all the way back and now NRG is gonna have to work incredibly difficultly now to,
I know that's not a word.
To crack this defensive shell,
Seiko, to the corner, got around one.
And again, the task gets even tougher for energy
as they're forced all the way back to their own back line.
Our G's been tested so far,
they've been able to make comebacks happen,
but this is a different caliber of opponent.
Got to remember stacks, this is for that number one spot
in the group and Acro gets an insurance goal late in game two.
It's looking bad for NRG, looking great for Man City.
This could be NRG that always had the insurance on their side,
not so much now.
Manchester City, 28 seconds away from putting
Sathiel into thinker mode.
Daniel, right at Seiko.
Man City comes out a bit of the two here,
as Acro just lets that bounce.
They can choose his spot.
Staring down a shutout here of NRG and Game 2.
Off the backboard, Daniel can't do a lot with that.
Final countdown.
Manchester City have been absolutely brilliant
for 10 minutes of this series.
And now they need five more to claim the top spot in the group
and to guarantee top six in Paris.
a shutout against NRG in game two match point.
He has to take that top seed.
Things are going well for Manchester City,
especially after that interview with HBCA.
You're underrating us, straight up saying it.
I mean, if they managed to sweep NRG
after he puts that out on the record,
that is definitely, I think, Stax plus Oro.
Infinite Oro at this point too.
He's going to have big bragging rights going deep into the weekend here in Paris.
As HB, he's got one of the five goals that Manchester City have put up against the reigning
world champions and Sathu and NRG will take their time out.
They've been here before staring down multiple match points.
to ask MIBR how tough it is to close out NRG.
Yeah, I mean, they're just doing such a good job
of minimizing NRG's possession.
And a big part of that has been making sure they lock down
their own corner boost.
There was one play that I think exemplified that better
than any other.
You saw it was a race to the one corner boost,
race one, the ball is switched to the other corner.
They were able to defend that corner boost as well,
forcing NRG to rotate back, forcing them to give up
possession.
If NRG can't steal those corner boosts,
It makes it so much more difficult for them to successfully suffocate their opponent.
And the other end too is NRG loves utilizing fakes.
They love it so much that that has kind of been their ace in the hole this season offensively.
But they've not even had any possession to even go for any fakes.
It's been just defense, defense, defense.
I mean a lot of times where NRG does overwhelm teams is with their speed and of course chemistry
does play a huge role in that. You have a lot of trust. Man City have been up to the
task disrupting those plays, intercepting passes, not jumping after the initial threat,
realizing that of course NRG, they're used to having multiple options and utilizing all
of those. And look at this, you talk about career longevity. How long this roster has
has been together.
A significant portion of the now over 400 games
that critical massive I was playing
stands a lot at the top.
But he's looking up at Manchester City.
They need three in a row against the EU 5C
for the top spot in Group B. Here we go.
It's going to be a tough one for NRG, Manchester City.
to close this one out.
They look very strong.
This is where those nerves come in.
Got players on Man City.
Don't have as much experience.
You know, Seiko obviously World Champion,
but it's been actually still looking to get that experience.
I mean, when you look in the dictionary,
if I don't get experience,
you see the pictures of all three players on NRG.
But wouldn't count them out just yet.
It's amazing what Seiko has been able to accomplish
this year though as well. He would certainly be an honorable mention in that regard as this shot
sent on by entry. Easily dealt with by piece mode. Hilbert for shot, just a little bit high. Seiko
knew it was high the whole way. Now Daniel takes that away from entry and Seiko realized also
that Daniel had a beat. Now it's on the go and that's beast mode charging on. Once again man city
up in the past.
That's a good one.
Oh, Bear wants it in.
You can see how quickly Man City can go on the attack and reset.
Goes for a 50 dangerous spot.
Watch game might say go.
Just watch at me.
This is superhuman to set this up.
He did everything he possibly could, and then pulled another one out of his sleeve.
Another great luck dart from Manchester City in your right stacks.
What a playout was from HB.
Presence of mind, oh, you see some demos here, opening up a path, good tip.
Put that on reach for B-Snow, but that flip reset, hold on to it as well.
It was a perfectly timed use of it to get that 50 back out into the danger zone.
Amazing, what a good entry.
See that go pop to the backboard.
Think about the narrative that this Man City squad has had.
You know, of course the great duo, the offensive power from Akro and Tempo.
And then Tempo goes to TK.
Seiko comes over.
Entry still kind of remains like an afterthought.
Boy, he has made a name for himself here in Paris.
He's making it, that's for sure, but to really make a name for yourself, you've got to be able to close out the series.
Manchester City, in a wonderful position to do that, but we hit this halfway point.
Only one goal separates him.
NRG has been able to make comebacks happen before.
This way too much time to be happy with a one goal late game.
They're coming on. Well, close off, but it was otherwise an open net, not around one, but Akro's there for the win.
And Beast Mode, what a thing that we've seen out of NRG in this series, James.
And we've almost never seen it before, with Beast Mode working on low boost, is exactly that.
They seldom had any boost with which to work. Man City have absolutely controlled the entire field.
Even winning that mid-muse there.
He's seen a lot of boom ball from NRG.
They're just trying to get that space, trying to find that boost, but you're right stacked.
Rarely have you seen that combination of NRG with possession plus boost.
And both corner boosts when they're on defensive edge taken.
Five man city. That's why NRG wasn't able to starve them out.
Seiko's got a full tank as he goes up the challenge.
Now Atomic will throw one on net, just kind of a testing ball.
all easily dealt with a rare case where man city doesn't have a ton of food now
they're without safe over acro is able to delay everything up in the air and now
everybody can reset man city trying to hold on here with a minute 20 remaining
to sweep and shut out again energy was able to grab that opposing corner
views putting that boost to work atomic to the backboard bit of an awkward
Bobby, you see the demo, ACRO, landing a demo.
Beast mode pushing in away.
NRG, their struggles continue under a minute left to go.
Manchester City, see the finish line.
The dunk though from Beast mode.
Now go for a ball.
Easily saved there for SPF, the dogs in that bump.
Boy, you made it look easy.
It was not incredible focused.
35 seconds. Sanko looking for the knockout blow.
Will not find it there. Daniel's in the way. They had two on the goal line.
NRG still not panicking, but something's gotta give.
Agro. More possession. This has to be it now for NRG and that won't come to fruition either.
Down to 20 seconds left, and more pressure seconds burn away as Daniel finally gets forward,
but he missed the second touch to get it down for a beach mode.
Now it's Daniel on the other side, down to 7 seconds.
HB will clear, indirect, right up B-Sco.
And one more player should do it, Man City to top 6!
Man City top out the group, and they sweep in RG to complete the job.
That was a shocker, Stax.
You know, you knew that this series could be close.
You think maybe Manchester City could force a couple games, but NRG is the heavy favorite.
Well, I think Edge B just backed up his words.
He said people are underestimating us or overestimating NA and we're going to prove it.
And well, Edge B just backed that up with his gameplay.
There was one other team that had a better
Goals against average then man city coming in it was the only team under one. It was gentle mace
Now it's man city
Has conceded nine goals in ten games
They have smothered and dominated all the group B and they sweet
and RG to claim the group.
Gleat is now standing by.
I'm standing by, but I was almost laying on the floor.
I don't know if anybody had this on their bingo card.
Edgeby, congratulations.
Did you think that'd be a 3-0 sweep?
I mean, I think 3-0 was pretty unpredictable
for anyone, for us as well.
But I mean, we were actually pretty confident
playing against them.
Really?
I mean, we only scrimped them once,
but we felt pretty confident against them.
So I actually felt like we were gonna do pretty well
in this matchup.
What made you confident?
I just felt like we played very well against them
and I feel like we helped them figure it out.
Okay, hey, I mean, I know you're not gonna tell me what it is,
but I guess that, was that like a moment
where you clicked that you guys are like,
even after a single scrim, we should have this?
Or was it like working on it afterwards,
coming into this match, you know?
I felt like we just, it's just quick.
I feel like, in that scrim.
You're moving, man.
You're excited.
He's got so much energy right now.
I think we too.
I can't stand still.
I think we want to jog while we do the interview.
I might take it wrong.
Yeah, I don't, true.
I saw you before, you guys had a lot of energy too.
Was that more like nervous energy
or you guys always like that?
No, I mean, we were just excited.
I mean, we were a guaranteed crowd anyway.
And that was the most important part for me,
but I think for the other guys as well.
So I mean there wasn't really too many nerves going into this right? Yeah
Well now you guys are the number one so that's gonna make it a lot easier that top four is so
Approachable for you guys. Is that really clicking in right now that you guys are actually that much closer after this win to raising the trophy
I mean, it's pretty unreal. Yeah, right? Yeah, I mean, it's we're gonna have to take it in
But I mean, I'm super happy right now. I can't stop smiling and I love it man. This is what I love it
You let that out. Yeah, you know what? I'm gonna let you run. I'm not gonna hold you here much longer
Um, all I gotta say is congratulations, this was exciting, you gave the fans a show as
well, and how would you keep doing that for us, promise?
Sounds good.
All right, good stuff there, man.
We got a lot more, and hopefully it's gonna be as exciting as this.
What an incredible series there from a man seeing the energy, got real swept, whoo!
Let's see what happens next.
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
Well, A'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.
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 in honor when you bundle with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We have the red convertible
And far beyond.
Michelin, motion for life.
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Stay there.
I
Sponging, I forgot
You can run, you can hide, you can fly back
Give it time, it's your mind, you're so far back
You can run, you can hide, you can fly back
Just go far along, and we're gone now
But we've got no hope
I
I
But I never lost
For a second I forgot
You can hide, you can hide
You can slide back
In the dark
You can hide, you can slide back
You can hide, you can hide
You can slide back
Just go find a love
And with my body
We're at war
You're my joy
We're at war
you
It's not so long, it's so bad, bad
It's not so long, it's so bad, bad
It's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad
You'll find your way back home
You'll find your way back home
Your lips will stay with fiction
You at least have your reasons
And I'll spare your eyes to you
Your hands are sealed in pockets
You're filled with your secrets
Tell you I am nothing
I am
The wild results continue to pile in. We said it would have to be a fast series early. I
said it would have to be a fast series for Man City if they were to be NRG and they kept
it clean and fast three games up three games down. They are the number one seed out of
of Group B. Meanwhile, Made in Brazil, welcome to the playoffs.
They finish off five years.
You put up a valiant effort there,
but still that would also a sweep in favor of Made in Brazil.
Yeah, man, Sidney left them cooked.
We'll be seeing that tomorrow on the pre-show.
Sure, that was huge.
Not only obviously taking down energy,
but doing it in convincing fashion.
A 3-0 is awesome for them.
And now, yeah, there's some top six, two chances of top four.
Seiko from France.
And that's what the crowd wants.
We need someone from France to make this grand prize.
I think also you saw all of Man City pop off.
There was only two goals scored by MRG in that series,
both in game number one.
They held them completely scoreless for over 10 minutes.
And they did it their way.
Yeah.
They played a lot of defense.
We knew they were gonna have to.
They didn't give up too much boost in the corners though,
I felt like it felt like the boost control was there.
The energy did outpace them,
but you always expected that.
Man City kept it close enough.
They kept a lot of boost in their tanks as well.
Average amounts, top two were Man City players.
Energy just couldn't find a way around this defense after game one. Yeah, he couldn't find a way and their attack was
Their attack was lackluster. They had no threat. There was no suffocation to be found. It was very
Disappointing there's a point watching that but over down other in man city
They're comfortable when one go to zero and they are winning one goal to zero and they do it that way in Seiko
We didn't talk about it before the match but he likes this match up because NRG because I think that when NRG
formerly known as G2. That's been an incredible reset back with the setup Seiko. I think you start
playing too much boomerbong. First play Seiko, he knows how to stop boomerbong. And he's also beating
this NRG2 roster one time in the Grand Final back in Copenhagen. And he's beating time in the Grand
Final again, time exactly back in the World Championship in 2022. And that's the perfect
recipe for a team that plays a lot of defense. When you clip on them twice in this series,
that's all you need sometimes to win these very close games. Yeah, but you got 14 offensive
demos for NRG and you get zero goals out of it. But you know what that means? You're not playing
tight enough next to each other. Where is the follow? Fourteen to three demos and you score
zero goals in games two and games three. That means the third man is nowhere to be found.
You're not winning. The tightest we saw them play was when they all had to dive into the top corner
to try and save Akro shot and none of them could do it. Akro still stopped it in three.
three he scored zero goals that simply should not be possible it should not be possible and yet
you lose and man city though number one seed now coming out of the group and they're going to
play in the winter uh is it over top of our top of fire twist or twist of mines drop out twist of
mines will be number one in the matchup so i'll be interested to see EU five and again this is not
normal we don't have EU fives at these events anymore and now yeah let's just go and win the
the group as well. So we might get
about how many you six
Europeans again in top eight.
We're going to have any six as well.
60.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
And watch this guy.
There's a lot of teams to you,
mate.
Over here in Europe.
He is done.
Locked up.
Those teams are finished for now.
Five years.
Thank you for playing at the Paris
Major.
Their tournament ends here.
Made in Brazil energy.
We'll have to play tomorrow.
Man City.
They get to take a little bit of a
break.
as they are through as the top C. Let's move over to group A and finish off the business
there as well. We've got Carmen Court up on top. They've actually already clinched that
number one spot. They'll do a show match with wild card gaming and hey, you know, we're
able to win that. What a way to go out taking down the blue wall there, but there is still
some standings to be solidified vitality taking on foot East sports for the winner will be
the second seed also group A. So on the alternate stream, they'll be having that Carmen Court
for wildcard gaming matchups.
Should be some shenanigans as well.
Of course, us and the boys are to be trusted.
Mainstream here will be a lot of fun
with Vitality and Foot Esports.
This is the Bjambas shop by Gentlemates Space Station.
The final matches of the day,
those should be exciting as well.
But let's talk about Vitality.
Let's talk about Foot Esports.
Cheese, Chronic, and Justin, exciting players
with some of the best vibes
that any team have ever seen,
but they're taking on one of the hottest spots
in Europe right now.
Yeah, EU number one, Steve.
Something you're talking about, mirror match.
We just had that EU number five going against NA number one.
Now we got EU number one going up against NA number four.
The question remains though, will we get a mirror result?
And then come out on top, it's gonna be tough.
Is it in the boys?
They lost it four against Carmine yesterday,
but that was a Carmine corp.
And honestly, look, the best they have,
the whole entire split.
So it's still a question to be answered for by Tyler.
Yeah, Steve, points to this match.
Is Seaton, whoever wins this,
will get the third seed from Group C,
whoever loses this,
get the number two seed at a group C on-price.
This matches for seeding, but this tournament for Vitality,
it's about hold metrophying.
Actually, for foot, it wasn't all about metrophying.
Ha ha ha.
And my name is Alain Alexandre.
I am the head coach for the team.
Fuddy's first roster for this player is Justin, he had been from the shop on the other side
so I feel like he's well known that we've got Kronik definitely under the radar a little bit
but he's qualified for every RCS LAN since he started competing so a veteran for sure and then
we have Cheese, a player that has unmatched passion compared to any other player I've seen
or personally worked with so that's Fuddy's first for you. Our qualification journey was fun,
every moment we didn't take it for granted we just made sure to keep it live, keep it easy.
Cohesion is honestly the most important part of the game.
You can have the best players in the world,
but if they can't make it work on and off the field,
that talent is wasted.
The team chemistry clicked from the beginning.
The sense of humor is similar.
The series' drive of competition is just as enthusiastic,
so overall, it was pretty quick.
The biggest threat is definitely Jermites.
They won the Boston Asia Tour of Aizen,
and they're still continuing their rostering,
so they will be the team for us to be.
I hope the crowd comes and shares us,
and I would give my career to the French people.
My idols and K-dolls who really got me playing this game, I owe everything to them, so to
have them behind me would mean the world to me.
The group, while not the easiest, we do believe in what we're building as a club.
I don't think that there's a team that we don't think we can beat.
We are going to prove that NA for the first time in a while is a pro team region.
We are just as lethal as any other team that we're sending, and we have full ability to
take it all the way.
I'm here with Putin, Adam Begat, and you know, overall, I just want to get the thoughts on the team coming into this next match up here, vitality obviously, a pretty difficult apodo on the side.
We see a huddle going on right now. Is that intimidating? Not at all. I would be honest. I mean, listen, huddles, they're nice, they're great, but I believe in my players and the ideas we got going, so we don't need a huddle.
believe in the ideas not the actions I like it. Well, all of the actions in the
match are good here coming in today was there different wrap I feel like most
teams are just like play our game or did you guys actually look at this matchup
we definitely are focusing on ourselves a little bit more this event I think the
last two regionals in an AOB lost us a little bit we were focusing more on our
opponents and ourselves but now we are way more focused on ourselves and
obviously you know we looked at that footage kind of see what they do what
they got it building up there but mostly of course on ourselves and then if needed
But in the timeout, maybe talk about what they're doing.
Okay, well, and just for you, I guess, now, we were just talking before you came on to
Camry here about the arena, how incredible this is, being in France as well.
How excited are you about this whole thing?
I am very excited.
I mean, it's a little scary, you know, not being from here and also not having the Hong
Call advantage because, you know, playing against these teams, but at the end of the
day, I mean, this is the community that gave me my job.
I owe a lot to the French fans, and I really hope that when we play on the stage, they
have some grace for me.
Hey, you know what? I think all of us are a lot to the French fans to be honest
We're gonna see him tomorrow. Hey, out of big act. Good luck with the team. Thank you, boss
He says if they're focused on themselves this event and he in the little video
So the team cohesion is the most important thing in Rockley. Did you agree with that? I
Think mechanical skills probably a little bit higher, but
Does definitely help the problem is on the other side it's Zen right? It's like it's very difficult vitalities obviously
you, Jelen, everyone wants team cohesion, everyone wants that, but you still have to
back it up with the plays and we'll see if FOOT has enough to take on vitality.
They say North America plays a 14 region now, but we just saw you 5-10 and they won Stumpy.
It's going to be very hard.
I think that FOOT, I like the idea of that we're going to focus on ourselves if we raise
our own floor, then we've then got less things to work on overall.
We're not going to try and speck into any one team in particular.
We do have, I don't know, it's, you're talking about the mechanical skill, being the most
important thing and that's what Zen brings to the table.
But team cohesion being an important thing, but that's also what Zen brings to the table.
He bends these teams to his will by the way he comes in these games.
He talks the whole match telling the players where they need to be and what they need to
do saying this is what is happening.
You will conform to display style and it's how they have won so many events.
Yeah, Zen's IGL is also the best player on the field.
He does everything.
It's actually one of the few things that we're missing.
If we can just have the in-game comms of Zen,
and you can just hear for 30 seconds
what he does, what he brings, he comes right by.
He's coming for Stizzy and Xotic.
They have absolutely no communication issues.
And he's doing it all in English, too.
His second language that he's just picked up
within the last three years or so,
and he's still being the most productive player on the field.
It's just pure greatness when Zen's out there.
He really is the best player in the game and it's up to me.
I ain't going to get to do that.
What's probably the best plan in the game all the way then
to Justin.
I'm sorry.
Zen's not in the middle chair then, you know,
being the new leader.
But at the same time, wherever Zen wants to sit,
you let him sit there.
And he's like, whatever he wants.
So whatever dinner he wants, you get Zen that dinner.
That is how this team works.
They're going to try and feed Zen.
But at the same time, the reason why
that's has been so much better is because it's not
the Zen show anymore.
Correct.
All three members are getting involved.
And that is why they're finally back at the top of Europe.
Yeah, the absolute that they have had towards the last half of this season as well has been incredible.
It's been so fun to watch Vitality get back onto that mantle.
The EU number one is such a hard fought spot.
A lot of people would think after gentlemates come off the back of winning Boston,
they would just be the team.
They are the ones to beat.
Now it's Vitality in a really hard fought region.
I think foot are going to be up against it here and Vitality have got a huge amount of worth being put forward.
And we saw that hard-fought region by title.
We had to play K-Corp yesterday in this group of death,
and they did fall to them.
Yes, K-Corp was the EU4C, but it's K-Corp.
They always lose to K-Corp, though.
They always lose to them.
So it's really difficult to get EU number one.
They did earn it, but now they're
falling a little bit back, right?
They're playing for a spot tomorrow
of who they're going to play.
So this match, the importance is not at an all-time high.
I don't think that's going to matter for Vitaly,
because you want a good momentum going into the crowd.
Exactly, I mean, it's not going to be, it's not easing out either too, because foot and particular cheese has been a grinder.
He's very effective with the ball. I think chronic is really providing his team some structure.
You kind of just need somebody who just kind of conforms and wants to be a third man, somebody who keeps the game simple.
Genome has that, they have maybe the best person to game in the moment at that.
In Archie, let the two young guys, two young guys for Genome.
The two mechanical guys, I would say, be more possessive on the ball and just make everything more simple.
Put Justin in position as to where they can be successful.
And they have a success in an A. I mean, I think I believe they've been in energy to some this split.
It's a multiple time really on.
I can't remember if they beat an sg, but they've had a great series of good sg and a great series
of good Shopify. So they've proven that they can't contend and beat really good teams.
It's just a question of whether they can do it in this moment. I think it's a good litmus test for
them. They have not been ssg, by the way. They haven't been. No, it's an organization foot as
an organization's never beaten ssg. The vibes on this team though. I mean, you're seeing you're
There's just the way that we're cutting back and forth
between the two teams.
We have vitality locked in.
Spaces forward.
Soldiers going into battle.
And then we have just clowns on the other side.
And the best way possible.
They're so happy.
They're so good.
And Justin is a player that we've
seen peak when he's feeling good.
And I've never seen a player with more positivity
than Cheese.
Cheese is a player that I still sort of think about as a rookie.
He has this rookie vibes to him despite being in the scene
since 2021.
He's going into this five years competitive player.
He's absolutely a veteran and yet he maintains that youthful positivity and I think that Justin and Chronic both feel that same.
They said as well. I was gonna say for chronic. He is such a fun character.
He wouldn't necessarily like to have for cameras, whatever, but he is so happy to go for round B silly.
I think they're such an easy team to root for. I really I love that team a lot.
They are. They got amounts of decline. Yeah, they do have a mountain to climb here.
They have played Justin and Zen seeing them play each other.
They've only done it once before as of that kickoff plan.
So 3-0 sweep.
You can guess which direction it went.
Vitality were strong.
Then they're strong now.
Will it be the same?
Let us know what you think in chat.
Stumpy, I feel like you just alluded
to where you're going here.
Who you got?
Yeah, they're going to have a mountain decline
for an I think they may well slip and fall.
It's going to be a pretty easy dispatching here
for Vitality.
I feel like the vibes you have to be carefree
because you're in NA4C going against EU number one.
It's not going to matter though.
This is all Zen.
is mad that they lost yesterday.
I think Vitality takes it.
I mean, we're all really confident with energy last series.
We were.
We were.
Obviously, that's proven to be wrong,
but I'm still pretty confident here with Vitality.
I think we're all going to go that way.
I think there's that much better than foot.
I do things in this class here.
I think that's going to make the difference.
Vitality.
They're very, very strong.
This is vibes versus discipline.
And I would pick discipline pretty much every time
in that battle there.
I've got Vitality here.
Foot on one side, Vitality on the other.
into the air and it comes up.
Look towards the camera.
Oh, it counts.
That counts.
The coin going to be going for foot.
Hey, now they're underdog.
Coin got underdog.
Oh, my God.
Chalice got one underdog.
Let's get that.
Let's get that over the foot here if you want, Chalice.
Great.
We're all on foot now.
Hey, foot's pretty popular team in North America.
But the Swarm, the Golden Hornets, they are awake.
They are getting ready.
And the building is ready as well.
This is going to be a fight.
I'm excited for it.
For the second seed in their group,
Who's going to come out on top and have the better opportunity
tomorrow in front of eSports greatest fans
or about to fill the building, folks?
The rookie of the year versus the player of the age,
but versus Vitality, why Paris?
Vitality trying to, again, get that upper seed here
at the swarm is around foot.
But for Flint, this is going to be a tough buck to squash.
Game one brought to you by Progressive here.
by Tality again with the strong seed in Europe now taking off but we've seen
upsets today Spax where we see another here we're seeing upsets the key here
though dad the fresher is not that great on either of these squads they know
that they will play in front of this incredible crowd that we're expecting
tomorrow here at the Lutterfunks Arena exotic going to work very early now
Now, 4 Vitality trying to throw one low in front, easily sent away.
All eyes, I would imagine if you just look at the numbers for Vitality,
we're gonna be on Stizzy who just made a last second save after the demo.
Because he has been almost the sole source of offense for Team Vitality.
And that is a bizarre statement to make when you consider,
He's got said that he can get the ball to or from.
Yeah, you talk about the pressure of losing.
Yes, you eliminate that from the conversation here.
But again, for team like Vitality,
this is just a series that they may feel like they should just
win outright.
You have to do that as well.
Just prepare yourself for Friday.
So already a lot of offenses, exotic tracks to get one on.
But yes, Dizzy, little time in the air.
Light touch, flip reset.
I want to follow, looking for more, but just in there to get stopped.
They're one of the most astonishing parts of the story for Team Vitality, as Zen trying to go to work there.
They have a free flip with the flip reset, but did nothing with it.
The very low conversion rate of at least two-thirds of this roster,
Exotic and Zen, are both down around the 10-12% shooting accuracy.
They have taken charges. They have not found the net with any consistency at all.
Exotic two goals so far. Zen's got two goals in the event.
Stitley's got six.
Maybe a byproduct of having to play against Carmeen Korp. It did not go well for them.
They've had plenty of opportunities at the foot half, but foot esports has been
more than game here. Trying to shut down vitality.
He's on it, don't talk the ball, gets a good 50 and sees in.
Has Stizzy waiting in the midfield, Justin will get on top of this now,
but Stizzy great read on the play.
Chronic slowing things down.
You know, Carl Schwab for Chronic, had a very deep car yesterday.
Now this one, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
If you're Pat, she's adjusted, Justin, plenty to hide.
You saw Chronic's camera, no way he could follow that.
Wanted to turn it for the shot on.
Stizzy was there, we're scoreless so far, game one, and we've reached the halfway point.
222 to go still no one able to strike for finally getting you know some offense
here but they need a little bit more consistency
who's gonna crack here at the midfield line Justin got over one but exotic
ranging back just enough and listen if you're not making a presence felt on the
offensive end you gotta do it with defense and then has done just that again
making the save right along the post Justin trying to go to work race to the
for the boost, one by exotic, but that Unifought might have slowed down for these sports and
that now that they weren't able to starve out by Talonny, no they just keep bringing it right back
in by Talonny very slow to clear the zone. Now they finally do, dizzy with boost steel
and active setup TV.
Sotic to Zen, Zen trying to drop it down, but straight to Justin. He clears it to
Chronic, a little bit of room in the air, can he create here?
Didn't get the flip, but just too late.
Stizzy was on top of it.
Now Vitality with a chance to move up field.
Get the ball, it's in with Spacey,
or Stizzy trying to set up a play.
Let's get a ball through the sand,
but it's blocked down by Chronic.
But no stranger to making defensive stops
and chaotic moments able to handle that for now.
Ball still on their half.
Getting to be crunched on now, final minute of game one.
And another shot set away.
This time, Stizzy tried to crack through the defense.
Chronic took his time.
That brings off the crossbar from Zen.
And the shooting percentage continues to drop.
It hasn't always been shots getting saved as they've
been missing just off the frame.
This is still, if you're watching Vitality,
I mean, there was a time when that place,
Stizzy turned up to go for a bump to try
to see if they can separate a lane.
Pivotal, a 1v2 situation.
Vitality, no strangers.
They have a lot of trust in each other.
They try to make those extra plays and Zin push that forward.
But the risk is, is that knowing how strong foot are
or their own defensive half, you get a lane here.
There's a chance for a strong counter, but Stizzy
won't be able to get the cut out from the block.
What a save by Stizzy, coming from the back.
Now Justin Collective.
Overtime seems inevitable as G's will collect one last venture into vitality territory and we go to OG with nothing to separate vitality and putt.
O.T. kickoff goes straight down, Stacey can take this, tries to boom it, straight towards Neck.
Nice catch.
That's a wrap-in around two.
Xen, able to keep this in the orange and come half on that back wall.
Down to the side here.
As Steve wants to pick it up, he's excited, waiting on the wing.
He's not going to be able to catch that.
He tries to get it to Xen. That was awkward.
He's going to have to follow.
That's going to feed. This is awkward again, but Justin, just here in time.
So, not to be a quick overtime.
Justin, right at Xen.
That was never going to amount to anything.
See who?
Kind of rolls the dice here between mentality and putt.
Oh, this is awkward, though.
We've seen this before, but when they get stuck on their own half
with under so much pressure, it gets so hard for them
to break out.
This happened in game five against Karmykorp,
where, again, high-stitch, high-pressure situation,
if they can't break out and develop offense,
it's only a matter of time.
They are great defensively, but it doesn't last forever.
You kind of misspoke earlier saying not as much pressure as some other teams are facing.
I mean, it's still apparent if we're watching at the highest seat they possibly can,
to give themselves the best shot at making this miracle run towards the finals
to the shot, summarily dismissed.
Oh, the space!
Big drive! Easy save by Chronic!
It's a kind of exotic on top of it.
Top of it, field pressure here.
Xizin was looking for the bump there.
But now, Xiz can carry it out.
Finally, a little bit of room of offense here for Chronic.
Takes his time, but a stay on top of this one,
get a couple fifties.
Allow Justin to get into the play,
but they can't get it center at all.
But right now, Vitality can calmly move this upfield.
Xizin's demo will get some space here for Chronic,
but he's gonna get challenged from Xizin as quickly as possible.
Well, this is well done by Justin, needs some support from Kronik, the shot's gonna go just
wide again this time from Stizzy.
Boy, Vitality have had so many opportunities and they've been held on the scoreboard half
by their own doing as Stizzy has to range back and stop this fall.
But you see what happens when you get the bump there in the midfield where you had,
I think that was exotic, just all by itself in the back, you could see it was upfield,
learning to go for the pump to see if he creates space for vitality.
It requires a lot of trust.
You know, the fact that he's on it's been so solid so far,
it's kind of kept them in here for now,
but you have to be careful in taking that risk here.
Well, into the third minute of extra time.
Stizzy, second touch, got nothing,
and they almost caught exotic napping a little bit
or getting too aggressive coming forward.
Geez, hard off the backboard, and Justin's right back at the shield.
shield all the time in the world exotic after me to take the shot from the
ceiling
Stizzy's got the same that's great saying there from Stizzy to see if we're
recognized the position play the ball high hold on
since you look at for more years in already was up to get this drop down
no finer give it a knock it away they will turn it here this up
does get a pass one it'll make more happen looking for the double
what a block out cheese able to get there cheese with a brilliant read the
whole way
But they don't have a lot of boost collectively.
Chronix got the lion's share of it.
But it's Cheese who's the first line of defense.
And he does stuff vitality, sends him right back
once they came back to the corner.
And it's big clear by Justin with Cheese getting
the redirect downfield.
And Stizzy there to stop Justin.
Like that for Cheese trying to see if he can get that skip
redirect, but he's stuck.
Be careful here.
Just feels like something in the air here,
especially when I'm looking at Xen on top of the ball.
Great catch.
Oh, goodness.
He's sending them something here.
There's a lid on the net, chronic, using what little boost he has left.
The boosts still out of stizzy, but nobody pressures them.
they over treat that even though they got a boost steel and they had to know
that foot had to be pretty low on boost now they get the steel in the corner
Zen but cheese is there to deny him and again escape for the Stizzy is met by
chronic everybody's got boost now or foot or they've got at least enough to
Make another stand.
Oh, cheese.
Oh, what a save.
Just go!
That's it.
That'll be the end of this.
Stizzy, top corner.
You can see the pressure mounting.
The touches were getting too far away from foot.
And this one, cheese, let it go.
It was just a box there for a quick moment.
Pressure broke the defense down.
And Stizzy with the follow-up.
Man, foot held on as much as they could,
But Vitality just kept knocking at the door.
That's how they just pushed it through.
I wondered what these numbers are going to look like.
And boy, are they absolutely silly looking numbers.
Let's do the quick math.
24 shots.
Only eight saves, or rather, no, hold on.
That's the wrong number.
18 saves.
One goal goes through.
And after a lengthy, lengthy overtime where Vitality just
takes target practice at everything except the foot
eSports net before finally breaking through,
foot eSports will burn their time out after just one game.
Yeah, I mean, when you think about what foot had to go
through there in that moment, you
could see, again, just so much offensive pressure.
It just gave you fly-stacks to the series against Carmey Court.
And they can't continue to do that, Stacks.
It has to be them getting out and being able to play some consistent offense.
Those shots were like, that's just a number you don't want to see at any stage of the game.
Yeah, sure, it's okay that you're able to hold on.
We can play your own game because you're forced to constantly play defense.
It's just a recipe for disaster there.
And for foot, I think they know it as well.
You can see there were times where, you know, cheese would be on the ball
and he would just get a heavy touch.
and the ball just went straight to somebody from Vitality.
So many of their clears just went straight to Vitality
and they had so many different solo play opportunities.
You cannot give them that.
I was actually surprised looking at the numbers.
Like the shots didn't surprise me nearly as much
as the number of saves that foot got credit for
because it felt like so many otherwise high quality
opportunities to has ended up hitting the crossbar.
the post or going well wider the post and I know a lot of times you can go
up when you get the player the benefit of the doubt right because they're
trying to draw the defense like no no even I can tell these these were clearly
shots and they were clearly wide it just there's something that wasn't
necessarily clicking for my Cali but persistence pays off and you talk about
that all we want that's they won game one yeah exactly and you know we look at
this too. You see that the physicality was not necessarily there on foot, which could
be a part of their style. But I think if they need to eliminate some pressure, one of the
things to do is to make vitality as uncomfortable as possible. Something to disrupt that rotation.
Let's see what they bring to the table here and gain to make some adjustments. No time
out. And honestly, no warfare here. This is my tally team. They had plenty of time to
get things going and when a play like exotic is on,
that is when Vitality really looked at most dangerous.
It's going to need to be.
It was, in fact, Stizzy in the end who got the game winner
for Team Vitality.
Give him seven goals now through the group stage here.
He's got almost double his teammates combined.
Somebody please give the man some help.
Justin going right up against Stizzy.
He'll try to get the booster out of the corner, did not.
Like, Chronicle come in and support the player.
There's Cheese looking for the first goal per foot
and got that nowhere near where he was aiming.
Yeah, I'm taking eyes on Cheese here.
He needs to get a little bit more comfortable,
get some more solid touches on the ball.
If he can do that, he could be in a great spot.
He's been super solid, definitely, especially,
defensively, being able to get cuts.
You want to also be able to see him really be
a threat on the offensive end of things.
This has gone just a little bit wide up around the corner,
and it'll switch fields for just a moment.
Zen just throw a token shot on and easily dealt with by Kronin.
Of course, that'll farm some saves.
As Justin called a new action there, up to the task.
It's a dizzy shot, or at least effort towards the net.
But if you call it at this point, that'll be sent away.
Zen will circle around for the midfield boost.
He's got it.
Chance now to keep the attack alive.
Sizzie is trying to run into France.
They're on chronic.
Hard to turn to get a piece of that.
Exactly on a great spot.
In case they keep playing the wall stairs.
Sizzie goes high.
But still, he's stuck.
Trying to get this ball out of the corner.
Another shot on target.
What's the cheese do here?
Wants to get the flick past Sizzie.
Sizzie's doing a good job intercepting,
but she's still staying on it.
That's a good demo, but Zid got contact with the ball,
so now this goes back into vitality's head.
Finally able to get it out,
but this is a good position for Zid
if they want to make something happen on offense.
Problem is, they can't get on top of the ball
for more than a second without getting pushed off it.
Well, Stizzy gets pushed off the field for the moment.
He's right back in on the near side.
Justin has not had much luck grabbing corner boost
on either half of the field.
He'll race back for this one, it has to take it.
But it's Kronik that takes charge with possession.
Justin, waiting to jump into action.
Vitality, just keep the pressure on,
but what a brilliant touch by Justin to just
better this ball after the corner.
Let his teammates take charge.
Kronik couldn't do anything with this
and Zen takes over, we're inside too.
It just feels like a moment ago
that we kicked this game off.
Very similar to game one still no score going into the later stages.
It's a familiar look.
She is iconic. No shots we saved. More pressure here for vitality and more of the same for quick.
Does anyone have a shot?
She's at zero.
That was just as I can be able to record here.
We have been losing the possession battle and not being able to get much feel positioning here as we
approach that final minute but it's still 0-0. They've been able to hold on.
Now what's gonna give now? Are we just in for another long overtime? Another hairline save.
Oh yeah! Finally Zin will come through! And Vitality gets their first goal in regulation.
I'm getting missed or was it a fake? I think it might have been a fake. Fake from exotic. We'll
We'll call it a fake, for sure.
Then we'll get the follow-up there.
You need to benefit of the data at this point.
There you go.
But Vitality finally striking here.
And now, front, try as they may.
There I'm in.
50 offensively, leaving much to be desired.
They know they need to take a much larger risk at this point
if they want to get past Vitality.
50 seconds remaining in regulation.
Court have not mounted much of a resistance.
Chronic to the backboard.
There's Justin to turn the game.
Second shot from Justin strikes through.
Chronic plays his high.
It's the threat of the double.
Forced for Ziggler to jump to block it.
And Justin had a clean lane because of it.
They finally get one.
Can they build this into another?
40 seconds separatists from another OT, Kronik looking to do worse but Zed hangs in the air to stop him and Zed and this ball back downfield.
Another brilliant defensive effort out of team vitality. They need another stop and they've got one. Now can they counter?
Do they have one last shot in them before we go to Golden Gold territory?
Exotic's in the air, but Justin sweeps that out to the corner.
Cheese with time winding down.
And the game's got Kronik up in the air, holding his own number, and was denied by Zen.
Could you believe this?
Can you see it's reader knocked down?
No!
I did it!
It's unbelievable!
An explosion fired for the goal!
Oh, my Jesus, that was like touching!
Sib!
I think it was gonna hit the ground.
Sib didn't touch it, but he has to go for the demo!
To stop Justin there!
And Funt's pressure pays off!
We got a tie series!
Unbelievable.
Got the demo at what cost?
One off.
And what looked like vitality was just inevitably going to drag this out, wear down foot in
another lengthy overtime, foot absolutely steals one.
Wow, and that was definitely good there.
It's an exotic, it's a chronic jump forward, had no boost, and then chronic, and we kind
of almost get it to get back.
leaves that one for Justin and here we go. Final seconds, Justin, Lawson, Cheese,
no moves, had the perfect touch. It doesn't get more perfect than that. Oh wow.
That is crazy to steal that game. And now we go into game three. No time out here
for vitality. We're gonna try to get this through. I mean the way this
usually has been going stacks as tight as ever. I feel like we go into this one
now and you're almost expecting it to be kind of close here.
Foot still needs to change the narrative just the way
the possession game has worked.
Because for now, it feels like it's been vitality
all for this foot trying to get a counterattack out.
It's not the best way to play a series against a team
with this power of the levels.
One step in front of the next.
Here we go.
That shot on target.
And it goes right to Sizzly, looking out at the Zen.
And a perfect score for Team Vitality.
And you look, Zing just gets a strong win there.
Cheese on his way back and Zing able to just stay upfield.
It's that perfect pass from Sizzly, and then all of a sudden Vitaly back to the front seat here.
Great opener, but you're starting to see foot.
Take a little bit more risk for the pressure.
They just have to worry about their execution.
Justin goes there, he has to be able to at least win that 50, he's a tough position.
I mean footy sports has been outshot in this series, over 30 something to 13, coming into this game.
It's miraculous that it's just one-all, but you can sense as he said vitality
starting to turn the corner here just a little bit.
Yeah, wait, vitality has slowed down a little bit.
Get a more room to front end.
You can see foot as well, just kind of taking the space,
but they haven't been in this position for so long,
you should start to wonder, you know, okay,
they got to get back into their own game flow.
It's dizzy.
Make this one, try to go high, get deep.
Look how fast that follow is from exotic.
A lot of room here is in playing back,
They tried to force one up and said, getting a piece of that.
It's vitality.
Look to Marshall Field.
Excited, going in the back and what is the point?
Oh, it was almost an old goal from Pratt.
The difference is still though.
Vitality up by two.
Zenn's scoring, and that should give everybody else
in this tournament something extra to think about.
The beast is awakening.
Three goals now in this series. He had the assist to set up Stizzy with the overtime winner in game one
See that especially if you're a foot fan
Then screamy at your team
Inset of that's gonna do so much not just for him, but for the rest of the team
Now here we go from it
Justin Justin
He's got Zen sitting in the net who's got it all lined up all the way and Justin's like
all right catch up to this one.
A challenge fastball right over his head.
Good to see Funke here with some fight.
Being Vitality has been in control of this series.
Game by game but Friett has always been able to just keep it so close whether it's in
the sport line, whether it's Mickey, last second saves.
And then when they do get a chance to strike,
especially with space, they can't be deadly.
Justin, especially, Justin, he got another one!
He can't miss!
Oh, not somebody can't miss in this series.
It took long enough.
A snipe from me!
Oh, no!
He said, go on, get it!
Tied up all game here, as Justin is
really put back into this game and he could do so much more again more
creativity wanted to put the pads with cheese, chronic last back though you see
Stizzy forcing the 50 out, wants to stay on top of this to make chronic awkward
chronic is a player to Justin on the sidewalls in, not too fast there, ball got
away from him, look at the space, Justin looking for cheese, even with no proof
for Justin putting another shot on, trying to steal the poos but they're
They're not holding onto the possession.
They have to be careful there on the foot side.
Otherwise, vitality, they could sneak one in the net.
It appreciates Puts' mentality there.
Feed the hot hand.
If he can do no wrong, just keep giving Justin the rock.
Coming up on the corner now and Stizzy looking for Exotic
coming out of the goal.
As we see over on the other stream,
Carmen Gord the Blue Wall has completed a perfect run
Here in Group A, and we will have a clean cut all the way through.
There'll be no tiebreakers between one through four.
That's no more pressure here, though.
Light touch, redirect, not enough power behind that.
Zick, it's demoed.
She's staying on it.
See, she's a lot of time here on the ball with like low boost,
but it's been effective.
He knows exactly what to do, whether he's
to make a touch, whether it's a fake one.
And it's been able to get put a little bit more ground
work with here. Let's hit. We're gonna strike high ball. It's just dizzy. It's just dizzy. Get it!
Just found his way from the ground, but it's not enough. It gets cleared away.
The accuracy for training this a little bit, getting so close on the goal line,
but not able to beat either the defender or the frame of the goal itself. Everybody just retreat
mode for foot esports there. Nobody willing to dive in. Vitality were content to let them.
This goes right at Justin.
He can recover on this.
Oh, five seconds to go.
No, and he kind of got caught.
Had to retreat.
Another awkward moment for Foot Defensively
that you're just enough to recover from Daff.
Yeah, Cheese, looking a little almost too far forward here.
Justin, he might be able to get that double,
but I don't think it went the way he wanted.
Try to flashback, low boost.
So he has to wait here,
looking for the back pass to Cheese.
Cheese.
We're trying to take the ball.
This is really good going the side of Flint
play because of getting more ground constantly getting these clears to
see vitality back and vitality their clearances that pass to each other have
been so heavy on the touch that it's allowed for to get some room adjusted
get the same on the goalie final 10 seconds just try to move downfield 10
once attack cheese cut to the side this is not gonna be a free ball for vitality
football grounded and we have overtime. After the heroics at the end of game two
how about we just bring this ball to the ground while it's in our end and we'll
settle for OT, he's going to fall to Stizzy. He's got to redo. He's got to end that, that's going to be on target, but easily dealt with by
chronic. So now it's Foots turn. Well they have a fair play out of it, they sure will, but Chronic just sends it out to the corner.
They're looking for these past trying to get the solid redirects, go off the timing here, for Vitality. Chronic actually stayed there in that
back wall, if he's got to be involved in the plan, I know he actually rocks it out. Immediately goes back to, just to get
Bumped here though. What's the spacing like for foot with long boost? The shot gets on everyone's awkward
But where's the follow for vitality?
We'd like to hit a free one. They will try to play it high, but he gets bumped out.
And what seems to have been almost a great play for vitality to make the score
where foot with the longest on their boost is gone all the way the other way.
Not a single soul to punish foot there. Stizzy as this deflected out to the corner.
And chronic.
Well, at least get this out to midfield.
Justin will take over again.
He has been brilliant, but he's shut down this time by Zen.
He's trying to take his time.
She's recognized it, said, get out the way.
We're not letting you get comfortable at all.
Went from exotic, but it's busy.
Now in the right position.
So that one also goes across in that pretty fast anyway.
It's not even if you want to get there.
Jeez, good first touch, don't follow.
Justin Woodspace tries to win the 50.
It's straight down.
It's crying to get there first.
A little awkward, Justin.
Just wanted to force it out of the action to the side wall.
The new cheese was there.
So communication for Fudd has been pretty good in this overtime,
but they haven't been able to hold on to the ball.
Lost in just how oppressive team vitality
a fan on the foot in the sports half of the field.
This here is all tied up.
This breaks a one-all tie here in overtime of game three.
And foot have already used their time out.
Just a low boost.
I don't think he's got the read there.
Wow.
Cheese trying to barrel down, gets away,
he's gonna bounce off the corner,
off the seal, he's gonna go for it.
Trying to get the double.
Zin, great read to get in the perfect spot in time,
but they both missed the mid-boost here from play.
Exciting, got to go home.
What?
Chronic able to get the save on the goal line.
I don't think he's out of it, but we'll pull that off.
Are they not out of the woods just yet?
There is not a lot of boost.
Justin finally got some.
He's waiting in the corner.
He'll come out the channel, it's exotic.
And they got around 10.
Could be only one to be, but that one is Sissi.
And he's got all day to play this ball.
Going low.
Got one bump.
Five, six, seven, and Sissi's a goal, a heavy look day.
And you can see it, Sissi.
Got the first touch.
Got the first half of the season's had before.
Just a bump on Justin and Cheese.
He had to be able to check the lead there
because he knew what Sonic was following up under the ball,
expecting the bumper to be able to play for it.
He was just a little too slow on the reaction
and exotic and full faith.
It's dizzy.
That's the difference maker here.
And that's why Vitaliy put the series on match point.
They are indeed our match point two shots at closing out
footy sports and claiming the number two spot in what
has been a brutal group A. I mean, yes, of course,
Wildcard goes 0-3, but you deal with a blue wall that looks like they were absolutely informed
and rumors of their decline may have been greatly exaggerated.
You look at the replay here, I mean, I will say despite the result that was definitely
put best effort on it's even offensive. The other team's face, it looked solid.
It was more of a back and forth between them and Vitality, you see who broke first and unfortunately on that side it was Foot.
But they had moments where things could have turned around.
Both teams did lots of clean up here if you go into game four, but like you said, Foot, no time out here.
And at this stage of the game, with this Charpinette 2 on the other side, composure is going to be key.
He just wouldn't have expected it, but you know that this is the same guy we saw in Boston.
Waving the American flag the first time around, winning the crowd over, he's got his inner calm right now.
Here we go. Much win now for footy sports.
For a long this, send us to Champions Field.
Outside Talody will claim the number two spot here out of Grubay.
You've seen front of champions feel once so far in this event, but they were pushed to it.
Can they do the opposite and push vitality or is vitality going to close it out here?
Zeds, it feels like it's in form, looks really good on top of the ball, but it'll be sent away to cheese.
Zeds deep, doesn't work well as they go straight to exotic, he'll be able to take it off the back wall,
Breeze into the midfield. Right now,
battle for possession in the midfield. It's both teams.
Just kind of trading a little bit of space here for Jesus.
He wants to get the ball down.
Find the ball and he's trying to get to the follow.
And fuck with the first strike.
What was the first strike for a change?
A rare lead for the North American side.
But now they've got to defend for four minutes plus
against the team Vitality where again Zen starting to find the net.
It waited all the way through the group stage. There's a little lob up high over the bar.
Zen's got this going right at Cheese and actually kind of won that well to get it
afterwards midfield not into an advantageous spot at all for Ft. They'll try again.
But it's going to be Zen on control over one and almost clean off the backboard.
The corner and chronic with the shot on cheese follow-up.
Oh, cheese got it.
Cheese is the back of the net.
Criker cheese connecting a gig.
As much as we talk about Zen, footy sports
saving their best for last.
Here in the group stage, determine not to just roll over
and go quietly to the home side.
The shot stack out.
There's so much time with the quad.
Oh, yes, there is.
You get a great start, but like I said,
composure is key when you're down and when you're up.
And it's out of Hungary looking for a bump.
Can't find it there.
It's in.
He's going to wait here.
Off the plant towards the left side wall,
where he ends up meeting Justin in the orange corner.
50's working in favor for vitality.
It's dizzying up really early here.
They don't want to give any ground to foot,
but that's a strong clearance to be able to send them back
by chronic.
Well, it goes to Zendo, and now he got Zendo with the solo.
Oh, he just...
Oh, come on!
This man, elected!
He is stone cold!
Good grief!
Oh, my goodness.
They tried to put a hand up, so they did get up a lot.
They put all their hands up, and it didn't matter.
He knocked the Lord out of the way.
We're master of the field.
Stizzy now.
Must be able to build off this momentum.
He's going to do it again before this game's over, too.
And that's the really scary part.
You can see it just kind of wrapping up.
I don't know if like he's charging.
Yeah, and now when you get him on these solos,
it's just fear striking.
Stizzy now.
That's going to flood.
Got an extra from the ball.
It bounces away.
able to keep this close.
Justin not going quietly.
He's a little awkward here.
He's in the first touch.
He's a high on expected it better than the air.
They need more of that if they want to stop him.
But look at this.
Vitality is not ready to go into the air.
It is working.
The big field position here.
Bring it back for it.
He almost got that one.
But Justin just in time.
Oh no!
No way! Everything's messed!
He was needed again!
Game, he cuts the button, shot it, fucked up my chronic!
That one was almost wide over from my cavity,
now he's got a way trying to grab the double,
but it will be stopped there, and put barely escaped that one.
They got away with murder.
It will not happen again.
Chronic up the ladder, got around Zenn,
but probably got the ball around him.
Zenn doing the next best thing.
Collision in the air here comes foot again jeez
Going to head hunting finding none
Defensive stop like that will surely get your blood pumping with big energy
You'll get a moment of a brief because you can see my quality right back down in the game
Zinn wants to get that center since he has full boost here
With that ball that's two
One two work for the shot
Hey, chronic, able to get the stop.
Same though, look at the pass.
It's Stizzy.
Stizzy couldn't get the turn on it just enough,
but still by Tyler, he'll be holding onto the ball
as we get that five-oh-mini.
Double commit, out of footy, sports demo on the back side
as well, but Justin will recover and send this away.
No harm, no foul.
Zed gets demoed for his efforts on the back end.
Here goes Stizzy, and he's met again
by a brick wall of foot.
He's in, planted close.
Once he's got these off, that's how he let him know.
They just need to get one side of weakness.
Look at the boost on foot.
Cheese was the only one.
Just got a couple pads.
They're trying to get padded up.
They don't have the corner.
They have to watch as Zin leaves the first dizzy.
He's sending scores in the back of the United States.
It's just nothing they can do.
Offensively, he had been dead silent
since the overtime winner in game one.
He's got the next biggest goal of the series,
leveling us up here in Game 4.
And for it, with so much work there at the start of this game,
it's all tied up.
We may not get a hit from Justin.
Oh, he was in a position there, but he backs with his body
about to beat.
Five more seconds.
His vitality, he'll end it here.
Zinn, let's get it off the corner.
Justin will attempt to clear it out.
Stizzy will let it fall and we got OT.
Alright, how's Zen going to end this here?
It seems like the storybook is writing itself.
Oh, what is that?
It's a kickoff!
A kickoff!
A colossal miskill from Vitality sends us to the champions field.
And cheese!
So this solo is not finished. Give me that kick!
We're going to game five.
Exotic though.
It looks like it might be routine touch that you can get,
but unfortunately not the right touch there.
And she's hovering all around it.
You'd be able to send that through.
And but it feels like, I mean, we said it's actually went up
to when I think over three minutes left
and you knew Vitality was going to come back.
You knew it, but couldn't get the job done, but holding on.
Again, it's the situation that we saw
towards the beginning of the series,
where it still feels like this is vitality in the driver's seat.
But they cannot, but put has just been in the way
every single time, blocking the way forward.
As focused as Zinn has been as well, as he has performed,
it's a full team effort at the end of the day.
And Vitality will take a timeout before we go to Chief Eastfield.
Unbelievable that Woody Sparks has brought this back to Championship.
They've won at 0 seconds on a Zen-owned goal.
And they've won it over time off just a circus miscue from Exotic.
both these teams as when they look back at this series and maybe they shouldn't but it's
hard not to reflect on the series as it has gone up to this point everyone then how many
times should we have won this and been done already yeah and yeah I can see it you know
the way vitality has been playing with the you know keeping the possession it does feel
that way. It's just those final those final shots have not been falling to have it sometimes
the second man or the follow-up shots just not there and it can be a little frustrating.
They haven't changed her you know from their game plan too often but at the same time here
you know you look at foot and I'm sure that for them this is not this type of series they want to
play where it just feels like okay they have to fight for every inch of space and then when they
and get the space.
Sometimes they have to watch out for the counter,
especially considering that Vitality's been so big
on trying to get those bumps.
They send a guy forward to try to disrupt
as much as possible to get space.
Here we go.
Champions field is the stage.
In foot.
Take this series and finish it for a real vitality.
But that, what feels like should happen
the way the series is going,
What happened?
Can they do it all if they're trying to?
Well, what other twists and turns
could we possibly have in the Group A finale?
Big win for Stizzy, couldn't follow the play.
That gets his reflection off of Justin
and goes all the way over.
Gorge brought it, demo by Cheese.
He was looking in Stizzy's direction,
but did not pursue, and then Stizzy makes the save.
Get a little bit of space here, Justin.
It's a strong lead.
Don't let us in.
He sent it right back.
All of that midfield.
Exciting.
This is a great cut to get a good touch
and throw things off.
Also throw off the tempo.
It's in.
Shot on and chronic.
We'll see what happens on that one.
Justin got pumped though.
So cheese was needed.
Otherwise follow up shot into the net.
Great follow on the touch there as well.
It's a pity of 51-2, but you can't
Justin's gonna buy Justin a chronic a lot of time.
We'll see more magic from Justin
as he gets a great redirect right over the crossbar.
But Zing, there to meet him.
So far, both teams just kinda trading those possession stacks.
Now Justin's a fake and vitality not fooled one bit by it.
Stizzy to Zed.
Will one goal be enough?
It won't be on that occasion.
As Exotic denied right at the goal line,
here goes Justin Flip reset.
There's the goal!
And there's the goal from the goal!
Look at this, Justin,
close to the goal,
takes it from the zone.
Bola gets the bump,
and Kromick was up so early,
and they just got a piece of zip on that too!
Just a whip!
Paid the way forward here,
as quick with the first one in game five!
Returning again. Chronic just couldn't get up in the air quick enough.
Add a one on one, off that kickoff. Great give and go. Here's to...
Oh!
One and a two!
You can see the play. You saw.
She's going upfield. What a pass there for Chronic.
See? Tried to find the right time to turn and she's got to add the perfect moment.
Look at him again, get alive here.
A lot of momentum for play.
Still three minutes.
Before it seemed inevitable that vitality would respond.
Now, questionable.
Exotic in front and again dismissed by Kronik.
Zen now, got the pass out towards Exotic again.
Wondering when Stizzy's gonna come up into the play. He is waiting and that goes over top of him
It's all they can do is set up exotic
He's got a lane to go through and there is some help from the back as for these sports hold the line again
I'm trying to be careful here because as soon as you see a member of vitality
But again, it just stays there. It just feels like it just
No, first one to come to mind.
No, no.
As soon as they get the solo in the air,
you have people coming out.
Justin does get a cut there before he gets Dimo.
Exotic, three ball, trying to go for the shot.
Safe and quiet, he'll need another.
Shot goes over, Justin gets there, Tom.
Exotic, not done, but he does get cut away from cheese.
They want to keep this in close, but it's awkward.
And Vitality will have to go back.
They will try to see if he can do it themselves here.
He gets off the ceiling, tries to get a flip.
Dimo, shot, go!
I think this might be an on-goal as well.
What an effort by Zen.
But it's Stizzy that has that pinball in off of Kronik.
Zen trying to will his team back into it.
Now it's foot that has to have a very short memory.
She's making sure to grab that midfield boost
so Stizzy could not.
And that'll force Vitality back, but still an eternity
to work with.
Ah, big clear, but you gave it right to the snizzy.
Great first touch.
He's able to get a good 50 on top of that.
Now Justin, trying to slow things down.
The problem is, the physicality, as you see right there,
for vitality, if you do slow it down,
they cut, again, playing on the front foot, off the line.
Exotic got a bit more on credit.
Jeez, with Demo of his own, can Justin work here
in the smoke, playing it low and slow?
Almost tried to muscle it through, but it wasn't enough.
Exotic and Zen combined to form Voltron.
Now, another opportunity for Vitality
after a great defensive stand goes by the wayside
and Zen will just long it right back downfield.
No possession for the Europeans,
but this could be a deadly giveaway.
Zen!
Zen!
That's nice, Zen!
And cheese, you can see what he wanted to do.
He won the player on Sticky,
and he got Tim on Sticky,
went for the Bumblequad,
That hesitation while Zen fighting up for the shot
is the difference maker.
If you need a guy who's gonna get the colleague goal here
to get your team back in the game, stick to the line.
A costly giveaway to the absolute worst person
to give it to.
Now exotic, trending with his magic wand,
Stizzy's the man of the gun.
Oh, that's a variable.
It's losing front and foot tightrope
their way out of danger.
Oh, but it looks so awkward to finally get up.
You said they needed short memory stack.
They really do at this point.
30 seconds to go.
Vitality has battled themselves back into this game
and flit desperately needs to control the momentum
they were doing so high as well.
But Vitality's still trying to work.
Listen, it's been entertaining.
If nothing else, Justin has that quarter boots
fallen directly under him.
He can go to work.
He's got help over there and cheese.
This comes out lateral and it goes right to zen
with time winding down.
Oh, I saw an awkward deflection and Stizzy there to the rescue.
Overtime, seems inevitable, but Jesus, gonna help again.
Seven to the bank, and exotic will clear away.
What does that have?
Nothing, as Chronic plays funfully, as in we go to OT.
Come down to this, kick it off.
Xen will get the man, Stizzy, plays the Torrent Net,
Chronic will take it off the back wall.
It doesn't seem like it'll be any time to kick off goal here unless Zen makes
something happen. No, it'll be Justin in the corner once he gets dizzy off the ball.
Has it got it going close? It's a little awkward for Zen, but he might have a chance
here for a soul. That's not the first touch he looked for. And now Justin may get a
chance to go there and try to play it under. And I want to try to get that
moment again. So much more space here for Flick.
What will be the difference? Who's going to play hero? Stizzy.
Over chronic, another whole reset.
It's loose in front, sin, poor exotic,
the redemption of WLF's assistant,
Lee!
Come on, Lee, come on, Lee, come on, Lee, come on, Lee!
Exotic, still right in the fray.
It's over to sin and nothing doing there for team vitality.
It was almost all the way across,
and vitality has to work from their back line again.
But I really enjoyed the script writers here.
They're still alive in this one.
Chronic, light-touch,
kept me in the comfort of exotic.
She's a win!
No, fucked up, I saved her at the goal line!
Cool, calm and collected.
10 per shot of five, that's gonna be well-wired.
Wait?
Follow up now, drop down,
pull the win and it's gone wide again.
She's got the boost shield out of the corner though.
Vitality will be hindered.
Justin gives the attack a lot.
Cheese avoided contact, but couldn't get back up.
We're both on chronic.
They don't know to crotch now.
Justin going for demo, not finding one.
And it's all the vitality in the corner,
but they do escape on hard.
You can feel the pressure here.
Start to melt.
Cheese has to be exotic.
Exotic up early.
Get past them.
Where's the shot?
No, no.
Vitality low on spools here.
The shuttle will get the flip.
The play low.
Let's cheese get involved.
but it gets sent back into the corner.
My Tally's still trying to get boosted here
as foot holding on to the possession,
but they haven't been able to create a sustainable gap here.
Cheese, oh that's not the touch you're looking for, Cheese.
Now you gotta play 50, give on the back,
and send it under interference.
Can Exoc do it?
Stizzy!
Get him!
Stizzy has a hand in all three overtime winners
for team vitality and they hold off putty sports in an instant classic in
Paris. Team vitality under the most pressure. They hold firm, safe. Want to
Creative master of the game
He doesn't fall he doesn't fall for any moment
And this team
It's just there's a reason why stacks there one of the best foot definitely gave a strong effort
And there were times where it looked like they were going to take that series
But it just wasn't enough
Pure survival mode
in that series for both of these squads.
And Grimm, they're both advancing,
they're both going to play in front of the crowd tomorrow.
For one, the reception will be significantly different.
There's only so much credit that Adam can build up.
But there's a lot of credit for foot.
Five games with Carmencourt.
Yeah.
Five games with Vitality.
This foot squad, they definitely have shown up
and they're going to be a force to wreck it with.
But team Vitality.
with the victory here as they move on
and we are gonna send it to Lee.
You standing by?
With the win.
That's right, Stizzy.
Ice cold, my dude.
You look like all of your life just drained
into that series.
How are you feeling after that?
I feel good, I feel good after the long series.
I think we played four over times.
Yeah, I think it was four to five, yep.
Yeah, well, I don't know.
I think so.
That time after this.
I'm glad we win.
Yeah, no, that was a tough series.
I mean, did you expect that out of foot?
There's no way, I mean, I think everyone would have thought
you guys could win this series handily,
but foot really had you guys against the wall.
Yeah, yeah, they played good.
I think we still have to fix a bit out of things,
but yeah, obviously all the players and all the teams here,
they play very good, so you have to adapt.
But yeah, like I said,
I think we still have to fix some things.
It felt like overall though,
You were always there to finish things off, to clean things up.
Is that just you kind of locking in?
Are you looking for those opportunities?
Is it just you dealing with pressure well?
Well, I don't know what to do, honestly.
I just play my game, and that's all used.
I'm in the right moment in the right place, I guess.
Yeah, I guess.
He's just playing rocket like that.
He just does it very well.
Now for you guys, I mean, when you have a long series
like this, how do you deal with it after?
What are you going to go do?
You go meditate, listen to music, you go for a run.
How do you calm down after a series like this?
Now what we're going to do, I think,
is we're going to talk about the match,
and then we'll chill a bit because it's...
You deserve it.
That's what it is, but we still have to talk about it.
That's fair enough.
Hey, man, well, I'm going to let you chill out
because, again, you came in clutch at the end.
You deserve it.
You got the win, so congratulations on that.
Thank you.
And man, huge shout out to Foot as well.
What an incredible series.
I might need a nap after that as well,
But we still have more Rocket League, so please wake up and stay tuned.
I want to try an experiment.
Alright.
To help you unbecome your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League.
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
Okay.
With a car.
What do I hang my feet outside the window?
No, not your car.
But you said think of-
It's a video game.
Oh, okay, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
I know.
I got to blow in the cartridge.
Again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username.
Username.
How about Keith underscore 9914?
The bathroom coat?
That's the only number I can kind of remember easily, so.
So.
I
the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin motion for life
And I don't know how to feel about it. You're not used to losing
Getting beaten not like this
These players are just so locked in could it be the milk?
Stay there.
I ain't got no time to sit here and pray
Get all of these better when we just talk
When we just talk without your ass
Will we just talk?
Let's talk!
I know sometimes I can say the wrong thing
You won't get away without responding
You know life is better
We just talk
Will we just talk?
Let's talk!
The match of the day keeps changing.
I thought we'd already had it, but then game five all the way to the end there.
Vitality versus foot.
Justin versus Zen, ultimately, though.
The player of the age comes out on top.
It's Zen, Stizzy and exotic that march forward as the group A number one contender.
Wow. What do you want to start?
That was a fantastic match.
And it was an important one.
I know it's only for seeding, but that means vitality is not on energy.
part of the bracket, which is absolutely huge as well. But for foot, it was also just a great
series. I know they have a game five loss, but that is a momentum builder for Friday of like,
we can hang with the best in Europe. That means we can literally get anyone here.
Yeah. And on the flip side of that, we saw earlier the lowest seed out of EU taken out the top seed
in North America. So, you know, this is on the heels of that defeat for NA. So I think this was
a very solid result. It had all of us on the edge of our seat watching that game five. I think it
It was a fantastic series all around.
So even though it was a loss for foot quality loss,
and now I'm excited to see what they can do down there in the bracket.
We got to hear from Stizzy.
He's an interview.
He seemed a little bit, a little bit frustrated, a little bit like I expected better from us.
I kind of wish, if we got the losers interview, I want to hear just how hyped
were foot that they were managed to get that game that good.
I mean, they might have been hyped, but after that, they might have also just been upset
because you made it that far.
You just felt like you're one moment away.
Literally one goal away and overtime right here.
He even had a zero second in the series, but ultimately, what it came down to is Wavey already touched on it.
One team has Zen, the other one does not, and Zen ended up making the plays that Vitality needed every single time.
Like all the little moments, that Game 5 scoop, I hope we show it for that assist, was incredible.
Down, Ole show backs against the wall, he's got to make a play happen.
Even right here to down 0-2, Zen just does it by himself.
Moments like that. Moments like that define how define careers define legacies in foot right here, man
Overtime win overtime win beautiful play cheese comes in bang
Chance game number five though
All the chips on the line one guy has a thing up in the Raptors well two guys actually exotic
He makes the assist says it drops it down and he finishes it
We don't see that says bumps in but that's all that really mattered. I will say though. No, man. Justin. He's really good rock
It's pretty good.
It's a nice moment.
All right, definitely getting up there yet again.
So it was awesome to see Epic Foot.
It's going to be fun.
I don't think people want to play them in the bracket.
I know there are going to be a three-seat coming out
of this group, but it's still a very tough matchup coming
into Friday.
That is the number one seed for the number two seed out
of the Group A for Vitality.
Carving Court did get their work done against Wildcard.
They ran the score up there to maybe get a few accolades
in the book for them.
They will be the number one seed out of group A.
Three and a foot will hold down the fourth there
with a third seed.
And again, we'll get to see them play tomorrow
as well as Vitality.
This is group A.
All concluded up now and it's time to move on,
finish off some of the other groups too.
Two groups done.
Two groups left to finish here.
Groups D and C.
Still need to get their actions done.
So we're gonna start heading towards group C here
on both our alternate stream and the mainstream here.
Ninjas of Pajamas gonna be taking on the rebellion here,
which is what we're gonna be doing on our stream,
and then Twisted Minds versus TSM.
Yeah.
This is one of the least defined groups here, Gibbs.
This group is messy.
I think I misspoke earlier,
but three teams can still win this group.
If a rebellion wins, they win the group.
If Ninjas wins versus rebellion and TSM,
or Twisted Minds wins, then Twisted Minds wins the group.
If Ninjas wins and TSM wins, then Ninjas wins the group.
So a lot to play for here.
There's going to be some scoreboard watching
after the first series is done to see how it all unfolds.
Well, we'll continue this action across again.
Two streams.
Make sure you got them both pulled up.
Drop rush is on.
So you can earn drops here, earn the new octane decal
from Mr. Brainwash.
All the streams that Twitch.tv, such RLE sports,
and they are getting set up for Twisted Minds versus TSM
right now.
They have R8 Esports versus Furia after that.
We're going to hop over here.
And gentlemates in Space Station,
waiting in the wings. That one's going to be a barn burner as could be potentially our
next match here. Let's get the boys and green on the stage ninjas in pajamas taken on the
Shopify rebellion. Just versus the rebellion here. Rebellion trying to right the longs here
see if they can become that once you have a group. Oh yeah. I mean I've been impressed
with rebellion even starting things out. They had a hack of a series against twisted minds
to kick things off. They were able to pull that back get the win there. They have a little
bit of a shaky series versus TSM, but they got the job done there as well. But on the
other end, for NIP, they, yeah, they breezed through TSM, but the beat down that they had
laid upon them by twisted minds was of historic proportions.
Choppa fires to the 2-0 in the group right now. They're looking to make it 3.
I think we're all coming in like super confident, like we've been practicing a lot, so like,
There's nothing to be nervous about since we've prepared for this tournament.
First killer, he's always super good. He's been on top of a name.
He can 1v3 teams on top of any team by himself or all the team in the world.
All Jame, all same thing. He can also 1v3. He can be super mechanically gifted.
I think on chemistry, yeah, first we're in that good, but it definitely got better every time.
Winning does help, but chemistry and stuff like that helps.
And mod everything, so it definitely has gotten better.
I think we're definitely a super good team, but we're also really smart.
how we approach the guestiness, and I think that helps to get good results.
I think the most important thing is our mindset and how we prepare for the tournament,
and our coach helps us keep our mindset in check, and also we've been practicing to
defend good camp and practicing here, so I think for those two, in preparation,
that's what you need to win and get on top. By the end of the Paris Major, I think people
will have expectations higher for us, especially if you win this land. People will have as much
as you continue to win the worlds and stuff.
Back here with Violent Panda, a Shopify rebellion for you guys.
I just get some vibe check going into this one.
A big match. I mean, you guys can grab number one out of the groups if you win this.
You know, coming off your last series, how are you guys feeling?
So, you know, we look at that TSM match and think that should have been cleaner.
What are your thoughts?
No, we thought the same thing. Should have been cleaner.
But we're still feeling good.
Like, we know what we did wrong.
We know it wasn't our best series. Everyone could see it.
But we're looking into this one.
Do you find it often that after a series like that,
you don't know what we're on,
and it takes a little bit longer to figure out,
or is it usually pretty clear?
No, it's pretty clear,
because we know what we do when we play well,
so we just gotta follow that.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
Now, looking at your opponent specifically
across the table from you here,
you saw their series earlier.
They also had a bit of trouble.
It didn't go too well.
Does that give you guys confidence
when you see score lines like that?
I don't think we think about it too much.
Okay, which folks in our game to be honest, that's what everyone says, but now like they're a great team even though they might have had a hurdle
We had a hurdle they're great team. We know we have to look in so I think I
Understand it now like focus on it yourself because if you think too much about the the opponents just one bad series doesn't really mean anything
You know they can also figure out a solution. So I think I'm starting to understand you guys
It's not just a way to not tell me your game plan
It might also be
Fair enough. Hey, well, I'll stop trying here. I'll let you get to talk to your team. Good luck in the match
I want to go back to something that Kofa's former coach expeer back when he was on SSG said back
This is those last season. He said that Kofa brings a calmness to our team
Rarely found in rookies and I think that it's interesting to me when I think about this rest of this roster and how
Tempormental the players LJ and first killer could be how much they can be
Shaped by the mood on their team having a calm player on their team really works
It's almost sort of the antithesis to the foot strategy of like let's just overwhelm with positivity here
They're like let's just let's just lock it down and to hear Kofir come out and just very calmly in the interview
Or the little video if you say yeah, my team
It's come one be three any other team out there. Honestly, I'm gonna do that like what sort of confidence
Is that give you his first color in LJ? You know? Yeah, I feel like that is what it's gonna come down to both these teams
Did not look good earlier today, and they have to find that confidence in game one
That is the moment but we talk about it with rebellion that Kofir like he's the guy
He might be calm
But he is hot or cold at times and he's the engine of the same if he's playing well
He can be best in the world and against twisted minds who we already saw how good they were
Against NIP Kofor was the standout player for me first go
I thought was phenomenal. LJ was the one who was a little bit quiet in that really important matchup
So I think for me, that's the player I'm gonna be watching very closely LJ because when you see LJ play when he's on fire
He he looks like he's the best player on the field even though first killer even though covers
He can take a series into his own hands
Exactly because I mean that's what he does. He's an offensive juggernaut, but there are occasions
I mean I think back to the Copenhagen land where he I think he only shot one time or zero times throughout the whole time
Seriously, it was questionable. He like what is the game plan? We always had Bob Fennel. He never answers
But if I didn't say that you're like LJ definitely needs to get some shots and he asked me getting them
But yesterday you were right James. He just didn't have those moments
They still won though and he did have a moment at the end the game five gets by one
So you didn't step up especially defensively exactly
But you kind of just want him to just be really drooling some shots and making it easier for Kofi for FK when they're all three on
They truly make it easy for the people putting together the top five plays
Because when he has the double free save when he's when he's on he drew truly is special
But on the flip side ninjas and pajamas
We knew coming in that today was their tough day and they had a historic beatdown
against them. They have never been beaten that badly before. Nobody in history of all
his lands has been beaten as badly before. They absolutely needed to completely reset
after that. We'll see if they actually have, because that is not the ninjas that we've
seen online. I mean, a big question for ninjas is that they just really do have the best
floor in Europe. You know exactly what you're going to get. They're always going to play
well. They're never going to have a bad day. When you get to these lands, and I'm going
to keep parking on it, you have to be able to step up and make plays happen. They're
Kind of to sit back there man see stuff up against NRG
Seiko may a couple days edgy reset backflip reset pass like that even having some sick double test
So it's just like moments like that. Hope really so yeah
I agree with you some someone has to be that player that lights the fire exactly because we didn't see any fire
We didn't even see any smoke. We just saw a lot of logs sitting on the camp fire
And they kind of they kind of sat back and it didn't do anything
It's not like we're gonna beat these players do that before we've seen choreos in a grand finals
12, two of the greatest goals in the history of Rocket League.
So we know they can absolutely do it.
We know what's the most dynamic players out there.
Like the ceiling is pretty high.
I mean, you're kind of talking about them being consistent.
I wonder, I feel like the ceiling for them is high.
It's the floor that sometimes I actually I question there.
They've gotten wins over each of the other EU big three teams.
They've just never done them all in the same event.
Yeah, that's why they haven't won a regional yet.
But they just never consistently peak for an entire event, right?
They have to find a way to do that here. This is a big moment. They want to win this group
It's unlikely they win the group
But if they do be rebelling to put some in the spot to win it and that is what they have to try and do here
Not only that because if they do lose it. Yes, they're very likely going through but
They're gonna be going with no momentum going. Yeah, and the other thing is as well gives us, you know
No, this is no disrespect to man city, but they are the five seed coming out of Europe if you win this group
That's you're gonna be playing
And that that could be I think an opportunity to really pave the way for a deep one in the tournament
Yeah, absolutely
Then then gives to you can tell me that you don't have these numbers in front of you right now
You need to consult someone else but like it does score line
Matter here for digits of the drums if they sweep is that give them a better chance to win if ninjas wins
It does not matter about their results if they lose though
I think it could play a factor into what their seed becomes
The numbers are fun, folks. Let us know who you think is going to win in the progressive
fan vote. James, I'm excited to find out what you know. I had gone with NIP with the upset
pick over twisted minds and that was about as long as I could be. All right. I'm hoping
to bring things back by going with my in a folks shot for Rebelle. Okay. I feel like
the winner of rebellion to some minds was going to win this group and rebellion did
win it. I have question marks now or TSM, but I am going with Rebelle. Okay. I mean,
out these fine life to be simple.
Rocket League to be simple.
You have two great teams who
have the best player.
Oh, Shopify rebellion does
with first killer.
So I think I'm going to choose
him and shop for rebellion.
They're just that much better
in NIP right now.
They're stealing a sire
and they're going to shoot at
in this match that did work
with Zen.
There's just just a moment ago.
Just just picking the team
that has the best player
right there for sure.
We're like all sweeps on the
desk today.
They also have Shopify rebellion
on this one.
I think it's similarly to the way
that you're thinking that the
whoever won between that and
the twisted mind match
yesterday is the favorite
to win the group here.
How does the coin feel about it?
Shopify on one side ninjas pajamas on the other as going to come up for Shopify rebellion perfect sweep on the desk
That's a worrying sign. I was actually maybe a little more worrying sign is my record of predicting Shopify rebellion
They lose almost every time I predict
I don't know I think yesterday I think I picked was the minds
I'm pretty sure I picked was the minds so they went the other way
So who knows what happens probably doesn't matter at all
Let's play the game and let them prove who is the better team on the field so much hangs in the balance for this match as well as the other match
Having on the other stream make sure you have the other side as well there folks
Let's get into it. It's the battle for the number one green team in Paris. Minus versus the rebellion
It's also the battle of the green and yellow as well vivid colors all over the place here
To go into this one the decider of this group some peers game one this brought to you by progress
Yeah, we'd need to see rebellion if they want to get that number one in the group.
Nice and simple win and in.
They will lock it.
NIP with it.
Guarantees them top 12 playoffs, but they need to have results in the other stream.
Go their way.
Bear in mind, you can go watch that at the exact same time as this.
What a world the internet is.
I think some jumbers might be able to take their eyes off this one, even though they're
hoping.
And on the other side of the TSM, an upset twist of mind.
So, thanks for taking something to happen.
In the world of broccoli league, let's see if we're about to see some.
Magnetic game, some of our favourite esports, CRR spoons that one up, CRR my favourite ballchaser and all of Rocket League, something a lot like he plays the game.
Yeah, he's very quick, loves to just C-ball, go ball, hit ball, but maybe he's living more than that, to go through the rebellion.
They've had a couple of big games, big game fives, so far they've looked five against both Twisted Minds and TSM.
Xenoblade wants to continue that, and then also get the double at the end of the rainbow.
They went in the boat as well, they had a shocking game, certainly against Twisted Mind.
It might have been, they went back to teams, they've been pretty brutal,
by the opportunity to present it to itself.
Charabelli, if we're able to step up above that and still take that series in the Group C opener.
Especially if they can finish the group as well as they start.
But right now, it's the European team, or on the Vulture, is wheeling around this one now.
Oh, look at that, he was squeaking, it's CRR, I said it was Bullshade, so he was tracking it that time.
So far there for a player getting a long and a slight old touch,
it seems to be getting close and scary in the LIP goal line.
That's a high of a cross now, he's first killer on the zone, out the back,
CRR with a lot of boots, that beautiful touch from first killer.
CRR, can he skim it in above the bar?
Immediately cleared by Kofa, who yesterday was the stand-up player for a belly.
Oh yeah, he's been fantastic, not just mechanically, but also in his decision-making and
Up the full play, the bumps in the demo, such a nightmare to play against I'm sure as Linton Pajama's about to experience, but here are some of the things that can help a lot of people for themselves so far while playing there from Linton Pajama.
Good pace from them, this certainly seems to be treating this major as something they can perform well, they're not shying away from the spot.
Oh, the enemy is about to use an offending arrow to the crossbar there!
Wow!
So, goal, that's a gorgeous little team play.
The 1-2 straight down, LJ on to the crossbar.
I think we'd love it to go in, regardless.
The safety plan of Kosa is able to tap it home himself.
First blood pulls to rebellion, who, if they can get through,
that's that number one seed in their group.
They're already doing better than NRG,
which is absolutely crazy to say.
It's one of the new comes international events.
And Jorias, a man that has been at the precipice
of these international events,
showing that it is not all doom and gloom,
Even if you can see first it gives eventually majority is a still some all-time great rocket league
competitive goals in grand finals in his time as the Dutchman, so he's used to this pressure
On the side you can see how our only's been
Proving over the years as well. Here is only
Suspension at the first pillar. It's that all first from first. It's not towards LJ
That's his dunk, look he said that reset, there won't be too much people in that far corner, but he keeps the attack going, it's a parabellum, a benign move.
Apart from that goal, I just can see the producer of Jarius, there's been that stay in the ascendancy in this one.
There's been a lot of control with that, I can be interested in the jumpers, but if we're able to counter attack Jarius almost again on a devastating double attack, he is sinking those ones.
And I would say, Stunty, to permit Jarius' demand, if he really comes to his best, that's when he can make your set-define.
Absolutely, Lajorius has been a remarkable player, especially with his absolutely seen from him in the last six months or so.
Sean Matt Diggins has seen, they go into the grand final, nice and high, lofty ball, CRR, takes it out, but they've already took the bait there for a belly.
They just played their own game, time to continue that game in the blue half.
Nice touch from CRR, balls now to Oli.
And this wall floating around a couple of times has not really been a big punch towards the net for a couple of minutes
It's gonna try and trap this one for CRO in land. It's gonna slow down a little bit. CRO may well be the man to
break that deadlock, but not for now, but this co-pilot has the ball. Go left side
Along the line
This one is
About a bit of a tipping point for now, Stumbia. I'm curious what you're seeing, so we'll be the first to break it. Yeah
We need to look particularly likely. Can I game an end of the draw?
I feel that way with everything this is.
I don't think it's an deserve a draw, but it's like, yeah.
Chalk it up to one all, I reckon, after this one, fellas.
That's that Moli to the ceiling.
He checked, well, I don't know if it's as far as Jory and put too much power on it,
means the CRR can't keep up.
Pofa, you need to have magic yesterday.
Can you have more magic today?
From long from the defense.
In the final minute, we need to see a little bit of action.
It's been very fucking four.
It has. There's not been a lot going on for the last couple of minutes or so.
These players certainly haven't paid attention to change that.
Torres' goal himself was out of nothing.
Sierra with the catch.
Got like 50 boots to set himself forward.
It's a nudge on Popper.
Popper was all too weary and wary.
The bumping game knows it well.
Just Sierra again.
They're a bit of a weak touch.
Well, opportunities in the center,
and they're just rolling it to each other's thump.
Yeah, I'm going to be honest.
A bit of surprise and so hot.
Both teams.
Yeah, it's been very sort of fealty and neither team really willing to take a risk.
It's just a goal set us up for failure, only just white.
I don't want to try and strike, but the iron decidedly calmed down.
Final 20, and we miss, touching defense, going to pass it to LJ.
A defensive master of some Jorjas.
After a mistake, does manage to keep LAP in it for the final 10.
A good conditioning Jorjas keeps his team.
With a chance of taking this fast game, it's looking like overtime is beckoning,
unless there's a dramatic thing in this tail.
Zero has it, wants to try to scoop the ball up,
can't quite get it, and that sums up game one.
And into the overtime, which seems to be taking
the full advantage off the tick of strats.
If this falter had been introduced on the bat,
Lord is co-for-waiting working.
Ah!
Oh, no!
It's his own net!
He's going to hit it in the hands!
There we go. This one was definitely an own goal.
Off the cycle.
Only slam bit hard, Jory has a slight raise with the eyebrows,
but Rebellion take the first game.
Jory has a spell-adduction and violent panda.
He's very, very pleased indeed after that one.
So, yeah, a nervy game.
I don't actually think it was nervy.
I think it was a bit uncreated.
Bishop for Rebellion did enough.
They got it, and that's a point on the ball for them.
Oh!
Just didn't need to hit it, did he?
He just didn't need to touch it.
Let it bounce.
Just let that bounce.
I think it was Jory is ready, waiting in there, things are, I've got the clear of a life on there.
That's going to get it.
Goodness, good, good.
I'm going to half body this with laces, and this is going to, oh, we've conceived it.
That's a shame.
You can kind of sense the mood of the team drop somewhat in that second.
It's a lovely shot from Kofa, like, it really makes it a really tough situation, you know,
oh, he doesn't know who's coming, doesn't think, oh, I need to, you know, definitely get contact
here.
It's very hard and I credit to Kofa, but that really isn't a shame from big only yeah
I'd say the choice is I'll get over that frustration pretty done quick
Yeah, because he didn't hide it there, you know your next with your teammate your teammates made an error. You don't go
He did though. He did. He did though if he stumbles once in this series, you know cut to me. I'm gonna go
Here we go again only went
Yeah, you wanted to be asked to swallow him or plenty more rocket league in the civil even got my tactical time out
Would you have maybe been sure of taking it after that, because that's a tilter, and they're clearly a bit tilting.
Maybe, I don't know. I feel like they've had more tilting moments today, when they've been losing 10-4.
That's straight back in it! It doesn't matter. They're all friends.
It's all fun. Everyone's happy again, and Oli's out of the play entirely.
Yeah, true. Jorah's like, alright, I'll pass it to C.R.R. instead.
And this time of the ones that take that lead, they have to equalize in the last game, through Jorah's beautiful double tap.
It seems to be enough as a reminder of rebellion. If they win this, they guarantee winning that will be some favours elsewhere if they are to.
It's like they make it through the late changes.
Wow! But if they lose that is difficult and fast killer is making it tough.
And this is all FK gets picked up by CRR. It could have been either of the players that are right next level, CRR's the man for it.
for it. And FK just tips on himself using the defender. Shootable play. And the equalising
goal for rebellion. Do we now see four minutes and forty seconds of utter drought? No, we
do not. We're going to see some blitz ball. I can feel it right here. They're all building
up for something special. Good. Okay, CRR has got it in it. You know, we've already seen
what Jerry's statement of this series. Confer is getting on far too much football any time
they think they're going to get it into the pajamas. And we're going to see some get-on
That's an overcommitment! Yeah, that's what we want!
There we go, a bit of blitz, whoa, apparently.
I mean, every single player on NIP with zero blues coming into that play
are a bullion, completely overcommit.
Second little friend of P, this time in regulation.
So, Thomas, he's simply to go to momentum after the rudeness of rebellion
to get that equalising golden joy, he's getting a kick off as well.
That's good, okay, and that's being good so far, here in game number two.
Sticker, LJ, quite able to lovely freeze your head and cover. Should be a goal! I get the angle!
Everything was right apart from the finish.
It wasn't quite to be in the end.
Chopper and Banger are going to have to come again. CRR sends it forward.
Jory is this time as well. Saved by LJ. Sits that one safely over the top.
It's a little bit strapped, but he had no boost there. Just had to wriggle towards the ball on the floor.
What's the burn one?
It's a way to high-phrase.
This first killer gets his flick,
so LJ's in there.
Adore has made a big save.
Big chance there for a skim.
And the pass sort of coming through
over this 50-fireaway good demo.
CRR with a battered flick.
First killer really did not jump
on that opportunity.
It sent something was awry.
Then slows down somewhat.
All pops into the corner.
Rebellion.
Very low on boost.
and the LJ with anything and he does make contact with the ball.
Oh, I thought CRR had pre-jumped for a second, but he was just falling.
If he was there, floaty.
Grab the Z on Utopia,
and he's floating, comes back to him, and he's there.
That was on for a second if he did have those.
Filled down the other end, it's dead. LJ.
It's a good play by a slippery set.
Quite to be there, shot by a bellion,
but again, since going behind the plate,
well, until that one from CRR, it was up right up defensively.
First gonna shoot, get back, but again, it looked scary for a second.
He has been in so many chances where a player could have conceded
on those long shots on just clearing it out a little bit further.
So far, they've only had one goal against them for that.
It might be the deciding goal in this game,
but it could be 3-1 at this point, I feel.
Yeah, I mean, shot for a billion.
They're probably such a more structured team,
as we've seen from the other.
Beautiful!
But finally, they sing.
That exact goal has been coming.
Their first killer is setting him up.
Kofa, 4-3 jump, right below the crossbar.
He does get a hand to it.
Unfortunately for him, he cannot get enough.
Kofa has been the man on rebellion this event so far.
100% he's being their best player consistently.
From the comms as well.
Oh my goodness!
That is almost something special from Oli.
CRK scored one similar, only almost there a couple of days or a day later.
Two players that wouldn't necessarily compare normally.
Yeah, okay, and see you, and a...
And a... and a bowling.
Yeah, no.
Different play styles, but almost a similar goal.
Okay, when he's playing, it's very best in parable himself,
but he almost gets it round.
And he's in the Jarman's goal.
First kill, he keeps the pressure on,
so Shakara-Bellion has to get in that second equaliser.
He seems to want it at other pace.
That's better there.
But with good positioning to get that touch across,
Oli's touch not so good.
That was me into the sense of Shakara-Bellion looking...
He's dangerous right now.
He thought about the pitch,
but maybe he connects with it.
First thing you look, but you've slowed to it, so rebellion now will happily speed things up.
Need his skin passed.
100 seconds left on the clock.
A demo at the back. LJ removes one. First go takes a snapshot.
This might be a pass central. It is. LJ waits. He finds the top corner.
Coreographed a true perfection.
Rebellion, secure a lead.
And it all came from the demo as well.
Incident pajamas spawning on the side of the pitch where they already were,
stealing each other's boost.
A little bit of luck they needed to defend that one wasn't with them and Rebellion's finished.
Absolutely devastating, so come on back twice.
But here comes Rony from the kickoff against Ferskiller.
Ferskiller forces it out wide, Jory's in there against LJ.
Ferskiller waiting on the backboard well.
Finds LJ too. Brilliant defending from Shuffler and Rebellion, time after time.
As long as they're not over-committing, they're doing so well.
If you were to put in right now, they're kind of setting the pace, they're setting the oldest.
And I think that NIP is just struggling that little bit to deal with it when this is full pressure on the free jumps with brilliant full rebellion.
Making it very hard for NIP's defense to really get much going once there is, you know, a little bit of force that they can push their way.
The only real chance they've had is on these counterattacks, on the long shot for a Berlin dive in that little bit too far.
It's a high-risk, high-reward game style, it was seen from the Americans.
Thank you Rebellion for learning from that. Obviously too many goals for Seaboo, there's a lot of strickles in.
First Killer, I guess something special, he has a few touchdowns!
Oh!
This is the follow-up on LJ, can't do it either!
You would have been done, first Killer!
For some long, NA's great home.
Unbelievable!
Close, it's going to hit the ball again!
Unbelievable!
And if that's what MIP is, a lot scarier.
Thank you Rebellion, they've already got the lead.
The Zero Groups first-killer can't do much, but Koglu 100 can do a lot more.
The low block, CRR wins out, a lot of that 50 again, well left by the defender, LJ burns up a little bit more time.
Oli's got a chance here, if he can see him then he's going to have to suck himself out, yeah, Charry has a CRR.
They're bumping each other, they're nudging each other, can't quite get back into the rotation.
It doesn't mean there's some kind of opinion almost to kill this game.
But not like just yet.
Oh wow.
Missed a real chance now! Zero seconds saved by LJ so far!
Only what could he do? Still got nothing in attack!
Sure is the last man of anything!
Only's got nothing. Hasn't he keep it high?
He gets the catch. Zero, waiting desperate for this ball.
He gets it! Oh, boy!
Pooch up at Mascula! Says no for the LOW!
Sends it back! And we're still alive!
Another chance, it bounces awkwardly into Mascula!
Two attempts! And zero seconds!
Neither was successful!
as Rebellion take a game number two and they are one win of locking in first in their group.
I mean good defending first killer but also come on everyone wanted to see the second attempt
zero second goal go in it was brilliant brilliant ingenuity there to mention them pajamas even
give themselves a chance but enough about me it's not about rebellion they went behind twice
in that game yeah you know they weren't playing their best they were conceding goals they don't
tend to normally concede and still they won. They're showing such good mentality so hard to them.
Yeah, it's massive resolves I think as well. They're just like, no, you know what boys,
let's keep going. We can get a couple more goals and you know what? I'll give you that one. That
was a blitz. There was a bit of a blitz in that. I was maybe a little bit sour, a little bit harsh
going into it. I felt like game one. Yeah, game one was a bit dull. But that was a lot more electric.
I'm excited to see what game 3's got in store, quite frankly.
Yeah, if that all goes exponentially, this will be, like, 50 more.
This will be crazy.
We're going to get another non-score Agami of 10-4.
But not until we have a one-minute bonus break here
for mental impregnance.
We're going to plan all their functions down the wing
and double-flip reset some all sorts.
Because they have taken their tactical time out.
They're using it to chill, other lots of things.
It's quite relaxed. It's needed.
Time out. Yeah, obviously you may as well.
They hit 2-0 down.
things a very good time to do so just chat, chat it through.
They're not been quite as successful as they were when they were first introduced.
These tactical timeouts.
I remember those other winning buff was that you got like 55% to 60% of the time,
you would then go ahead and win after a tactical timeout.
Compared to the game prior, which you presumably have lost.
The MIP just needs to talk things through a bit, resettle.
I think there were, you know, a couple of times in that game in particular,
where if they just had, you know, a 0.1 second time more to think, they could have shot it on target with the long shots.
When rebellion pushed up far, that's when they're most vulnerable.
Yes, they will do well with it, you know, you have to defend, you know, to the absolute limit of your ability.
And rebellion make it very hard, but there are these windows where I thought that NIP just weren't quite able to take.
Yeah, which is rare for them as well. I mean, they've been scoring consistently throughout this split.
It's been a good performance from them.
Third, NEU is the above half of them.
That's incredible.
They're going to have to build upon what they've set for themselves.
And since they've been able to take off land,
now here they are, a shot by a million.
Two games to the good, and three chances to top Group C.
It's immediate pressure coming in from MIP.
Hopefully, that's going to be a time
where all of a sudden something good is shot down all three.
Wait, T! None of them to make contact at NIP!
Off the TO! Get the first function.
Following game one, Incident Vajamas have been starting well.
The last time, the last game, their issue was that they just didn't have to...
Letting rebellion back in.
Are they able to hold their lead this time?
The question from this kickoff,
is that we have the kickoff game?
The general and play bet.
That's really cool.
It's up there from Joris.
As you can see, I can't get a say.
First killer was allowed in there,
And that should not defeat the K-Step, isn't it?
They're very aggressive team, rebellion.
They make it really hard for MIP to sit in deep vents and then, like I said,
try and go for slightly better for our counter attacks, and then get very tough.
Especially with a free-jump to see come through from Kofa.
They are faked for a little jail!
And first get up is gonna be the spirit driven through the shield of the ninja.
It's the one against the bouncing as well. As soon as that went in, they get in and get excited.
They knew that was a well-worked goal.
One worth celebrating, and once again,
Nip take the lead and cannot keep hold of it.
Rebellion just keep clawing themselves back.
In so far, we've just seen them get one goal from NIP,
and then Rebellion get one back,
and then with just SR, they always get that last laugh.
Rebellion, the final ones, get one back.
They get two goals in the first minute,
potential blitz on its way to goal.
We can only own.
Two blitzes in a row, I would be so...
Oh my cream! Oh my goodness what a barge! What a sys!
Oh they couldn't quite go over the top of it.
See how hard he is here, see how tight he is going though, he keeps it in orange territory.
Oh he tries to get 50-50 towards teammate.
First killer is there.
He flicks it high, LJ.
Someone in the corner.
First killer.
Let me get it as far as Jor is.
She's got a bad edge, she's working for an angle.
Not being able to force it just yet, but they get some football at least.
This is minute and a half. There's a lot so far.
Oli received just higher on the left-hand side to play from FK, but to nobody.
So, NIP.
I'm sure you can see that loads of these balls just get set back in the opposite half.
We've not seen many players in this game in particular really take it close to them.
Chancellor Paz, they were close, but we'll be snuffing that idea out.
Off the touch from LJ, and perfectly, this is from the backboard.
Holy, seconds away from removing Elgin for the save.
Yeah, I was down to play it quickly, getting the cross, and I guess a huge flick.
CRL was back.
It's a lovely effort there, from a shot by Ramelli and Talisman.
Now, it's come up to some more defending moves, still from CRL, tries to change the speed of the attack,
it goes roll it in, don't get expected that one, that moves.
That was a good pun, wasn't it?
That was a platter, wasn't it, Sean?
It was almost effective.
Oh, Pofa, great face, Jorrius is facing, should get back, but what does he do there?
Goodness me.
Kofa is beating the last man, but he's not going to place on the ball.
He's had a bit more on it, maybe when I found his way in.
Well, that would be continuing attacks from Rebellion.
And Longcliff, next to it, is Oly. He still hasn't flipped here.
I don't know if you guys can hear, but over on the beast room, things are absolutely kicking off.
Give that up, watch as well, I had this stuff for a second, your Shogun's screened about 5 feet away from me, I had to go through on the microphone.
I have been there too, they probably do it and they're like, what are you guys on about?
As far as I'm concerned, Shogun's for the B-Street for you guys, it's not nice.
We're seeing NIP just need to get something going here, since if rebellion gets the next goal, it might defeat that last goal in this series.
The Jorias must go high with it, let's get beaten out.
First going to move down on the big duo there.
Jorias, wonderful save to set himself up again and a pinch to clear the final 90 seconds, Cole.
As I said, MIP, they're hunting, we've just got one more.
For a second rebellion, must have thought the group team was there, but the save was true.
The first killer steals the hunter at the pass of the century, by Del J almost, only in CRR between them.
They could mind to get that read.
CRR, let's keep hold of his full thrust, but as he gets bigger and bigger, he gets bigger and bigger by out of that one, so then he doesn't flak at the bump and LJ he was after.
Shaparaveli and Soto are surely working their way forward, helping Blue Seals yet again, they're starting to get low, and that's Shaparaveli impactivites.
Pity towards first killer. Ended up finding Koopa. Those two as ever have just been so terrifying.
It's a play-off! Overall, Koopa beats CRR first and then instantly embarrasses Jory and taps it with a corner of his car.
And you see what it means for the team. They're looking at that holy opposition in Grucy and they have had their names carved on it.
They're on 50 seconds left and only has 100 boost as well.
Yes, that ball, I guess, and across the gun, but Elton gets in there and steals it.
Jory, it has a deep track of this ball.
Not as easy as it looks when it's coming up to you at that pace.
Otha, he almost bops away.
Oli's coming in. All three knit players involved, they're not afraid to shuffle, Jimmin.
Doesn't leave them a little bit stranded, and suddenly it's Elton that has the boost from the ball.
That ball needs to get into the orange halves as soon as possible.
Jory wants to get the dunk away.
LJ to receive with a lot of food but not much time at all onto the back wall with only final 20
Into the back corner was chance central now CRR to pick it up, but to nobody
Shapara belly, it may start it off this group of a game five winning and twisted minds can they finish it with a
Flourish 3-0 against Vincenzo Pajavos
It's so close to them right now just a few more seconds to the hole Jarius tries to get something going
They can't be the pick and draw in his only he does send a hike
He catches here we are again
The tree number one in group seeing
They've done what energy could not
Lord American team topic one of the groups in this event here in Paris
They are going to be heading through into the upper bracket quarterfinals and will be playing against Manchester City
The top four and the ninjas in pajamas things get really sweaty now because without spoiling anything
Our game over in group B is very much alive as of right now
Yeah
and this is the job to be praying that TSM don't win that series, but
This isn't about nibs number. This is about rebellion and these performances
This is the team that, you know, they won an open in North America against the great teams in NA.
They can win NA, you can win NA.
Yeah, oh absolutely.
They've outperformed the kings of their region.
And you always ask that question, I think, about First Killer.
Will they be the event?
If they are, they is time.
I'd love it to be.
I'd be so happy if First Killer won a major.
Especially seeing as the tier is taken down in those finals.
There's a long way to go until we get there.
But Leif is going to be having a conversation with one of the players on a team that has shot us all.
Refelion looking incredible.
Wow, Shopify Rebellion looking pretty good.
Congratulations, LJ, on the winner, Frio!
Yeah, I mean, you played great.
I mean, a little bit of a bounce back from earlier today.
Yeah.
A little close series with TSM, but I mean, I'm going to bounce back and I think we're looking good now.
Yeah, I was talking to VP just before this, you know, coming off a series like TSM.
How do you kind of get yourself
rallied back up into this for you?
What's that method of getting back into it again?
Yeah, honestly, we just forgot about it.
Like, we kind of have to.
I don't know. We just wanted to see if it's like a fresh mindset
and I think it worked pretty well.
Yeah, I know that's fair enough.
Can you give a little bit of time to breathe between as well?
Now, I guess looking forward,
or I guess let's look at this series,
did you expect it to be that?
We saw Ninjas and Bajamas' performance earlier.
Wasn't the best.
Same with you guys. You bounced back.
Did you expect them to bounce back too?
I think it's been a really good matchup against them, like even last major we had a really
good performance against them.
I just think we just placed out of this, we just had a good performance against them
and we had a good matchup.
Fair enough, hey well you guys are in a good spot now with the number one coming out of
the group here.
That's got to feel good.
We're going into tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, I mean take a little break, I mean top six, two lives, high for the crowd,
I mean trying not to lose a life, you know, just get the win right away.
Extra, extra, extra, extra, extra.
But how are you looking towards the crowd?
Because obviously, I think North American teams
aren't probably going to be the favorite
going into tomorrow.
You thinking about that?
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, we're prepared for the booze,
but we're just going to enjoy it,
maybe just imagine you off of it.
You know, I might bust a little bit.
I don't know.
That's true.
I mean, we've never seen anything like this crowd before,
so it's kind of just going in fun.
Yeah, and I was just thinking, you got tomorrow off, actually.
So it's Saturday, I think, guys would be playing.
Are you going to be out in the audience
and trying to get a vibe check for it?
You guys are going to be doing something else to scrimmage that maybe a little bit, but I think we're just going to scrimmage
Boxing and getting ready for for Saturday and for the crowd. Cool. Yeah, I mean you've seen the stage. It's all like getting
Oh, man, that's gonna be such a wild ride and again, hopefully there'll be some fans out there cheering for you guys
But I guess just coming into the weekend. What are you looking forward to most even if it's not just
Physitionally where you guys end up. What are you looking forward to most?
Winning winning. Okay. It is it is what where they finish that's fair enough. Hey, you know what?
But congratulations, you got to dub here.
Hopefully a lot more on the way.
We just got a little bit more rock.
Look at the go here in groups on day number two
of the Paris Major.
Let me see what happens on the other side.
Okay, the plumbers fixed in that burst pipe should be all set.
Good thing you 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 emoji 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.
It happens online.
I don't even believe you.
Life is meaningless with that application.
Am I right?
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, motion for life.
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing. Getting beaten?
Not like this. These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
mhm
aaaaaaaaahhh

A sweep on this stream drama on the other stream.
TSM put up their best effort.
Meanwhile, Shopify cruised to the number one spot,
undefeated in Group C.
And they are straight through to the top side of the bracket.
They get to skip tomorrow.
The disappointing day for Ninjas continues.
It was a very hard day.
But honestly, they think that they can play better.
They do advance.
They will be playing tomorrow to try and right those wrongs.
We'll see if they can get it done.
Meanwhile, on the other side of things,
going four games against their opponents nearly scored incredible goals
there in that fourth game to go to me losing the overtime. Yeah we talked about
anyone can cook you up we saw that with TSM. TSM looked good in that match they
almost made the ultimate comeback when unfortunately fell a little bit short
Tristan Mines gets the win gets the number two seed in that group so hats off
to them the rebellion rebellion is playing hot we talked about them like
they're looking good going into this and they showed up here versus ninjas get
the job done. I mean rebellion is just a better team than I feed that's why I
I was trying to let it by no Jordan.
He's a great double touch.
That's what you need.
But when it comes down to it over time,
four second left, OJ, Nick Hofer.
Oh, it's a mistake.
It's a mistake for the boys.
They're so consistent.
Only Bannock's there.
You see it.
He just didn't see that one coming.
And now two, two.
I mean, the series was tight the whole way around,
but just a little moments in the game.
OJ top right corner, Snipe.
That's what you expect out of them tomorrow.
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
And when you look at the shop team,
where an event where, you know, a team like NRG is faltering,
a team like Rebellion are rising to the Cajuns,
left, right, and center.
NIP was trying their best to really get locked in
and focused in this series.
But ever since, Rebellion's kind of changed that place down.
It's like they've had a new identity
and they've loved it every step of the way,
seeing the smiles, the chemistry from the squad.
I mean, we're doing stuff.
We're doing stuff.
We're doing good.
Like, Kofi looks fantastic throughout that match,
yet again, and Rebellion, if they want to win this major,
So first gotta continue doing what he's doing
because they're looking like one of the best teams here.
It's fascinating to look at that top bar there.
The percentage of time spent ahead for a sweep,
you'd think it'd be much more in Shopify's favor,
but no, they were winning those games late.
Highly contested, very highly contested series.
Both teams, they can make a run in a tournament.
Revelling at the moment though,
really showing that they are the number one seed
coming out of the group.
They're looking really, really great,
and now they got a day with Man City,
who did upset NRG earlier on today.
Yeah.
As you look at groups right here.
Yeah.
Just a small type of there, twisted mines actually two and one.
So they get the number two seed out of this group.
But yeah, so we have rebelling, twisted mines,
then ninjas, and mchamas, and TSM.
This group was absolutely brutal for that fourth seed,
but TSM battled all these teams.
Listen, I will say a lot of teams
need to go study what TSM's doing,
because their creativity and their utilization of one another
was the most any team has done it in a while, honestly.
Now, there's consistent passing plays.
One, two, three, maybe even a fourth really
Looking for each other setting themselves up for easy goals. You got a lot of teams now that are super over town
And they don't pass the ball at all. So they can stay a little bit at that TSM bogey
The meta continues to evolve here. Let's talk about the LCQs though for a moment here
Yes, because we finally have South America clinching that final LCQ spot
Yes
So all four regions for the last chance qualifiers are set now Sam has tied OCE and they win the tiebreaker as well in EU
North America and Mina as well because APAC and SSA are out and OCE
So we know our four lcq regions will be Europe North America Middle East and South America
Congratulations to South America more representation at the world championship exciting to see which teams get to pick up that
Mantles but that is group C concluded groups a and b also
Concluded there is only two matches left here in the group stage for the Paris Major
It's group D folks. How are things going to settle out and we have two very clean easy to understand matches where everybody's got something to play for
You have the two and O's playing each other of gentle mates and space station. You win that you're the top seed in your group
All right, e-sports will be taken on Furia. Neither one has won a match yet
You win that you are into the playoffs. Yes, and on top of that with our area very likely loser of that
I believe we'll have to play in that play in tournament at the world championship that seed at least
which would be furia if it is a sam too so furia trying to play for a main event spot as well
Alternate stream is quick TV slash RLE sports the drops have been live all day on both streams
We sure got a bull pulled up there
They'll be covering that RA e-sports versus furia just as important a match as the one will be covering here on the mainstream gentle mates
Versus space station gaming gonna be our final match of the day the reigning
Major champions taken on what I consider the hottest squad in Rockley right now
The young guns of space station are fierce and fiery, but they're taking on the top team. Oh, yeah
I don't mind it. I don't mind it. I like a hot squad here
You look at this SSG team and they definitely have the pieces to the puzzle
It just feels like sometimes when you're trying to put those puzzle pieces together
You kind of forget where they go and then you get to see you see a little bit of breakdowns here
But when they do connect, they are well-rounded squad.
They have been paying attention to a lot of stuff.
I remember talking to them earlier yesterday.
And they said, you predicted against us.
And then the coach said, no, they're
doing it to motivate us and trying to get the motivation.
Anything that they can use to give them a foot forward
as Zach's return to land has been as strong as can be with.
It's been a long day for both these teams,
but they are closing things out here.
And hopefully they have kept some momentum.
Gentlemates are ready for space station.
Hello, my name is Oskar Godzowski, also known as Oskar, and I play four generalmates on
roughly.
My two teammates are Nassan Archie, and the best thing about them is their individual
level in game and our friendship outside the game.
We won one regional, got a final in a second.
The fourth regional was a bit shaky, but we regained well after, and the outfields pretty
fell easy.
Winning a tournament like a major like, it feels nice in the moment, but you kind of
to go straight back to the scrimmage or else you won't win again. I plan on still winning
every single one.
The way we approach a game, I'd say it's probably a consistent form of playing the game, like
inside the game, but then we're also very close outside the game. And I think those
two combined makes it a very well-harmonized team. To be honest, I think most of my career
I've been on teams where I've been quite close to my teammates, but I can't imagine
not being as close as we are now because it really helps you in game because you're able
to trust them more. Because when you're working with people who aren't really as close to
It doesn't feel as good as when you're playing with people who are like super close friends to you
You know well coming into Paris is kind of surreal like for me
It's going to be the best event so far like in the history of the game and the history of my career
But I'd say like I can't wait to be honest like having a French crowd behind us and like me is really a feeling that I didn't really think
I'd be having but I can't wait one thing
I'm looking to prove as well as a team is that we're able to do it back to back. I think doing it once is
the easy part but like doing it twice that's when it really like solidifies greatness in my opinion.
I'm hanging out here with Snasky again and I think that's the best word is hanging out because I'm seeing the vibes back here and it doesn't even feel like we're about to play a match of Rocket League guys are just so relaxed.
Yeah we have a boot ready.
You did it, okay.
We don't even say it like that.
Come on here.
I'm going to learn some Danish words and you'll never regret this.
Anyways, yeah, just look at the vibes of the team.
It definitely feels like, I think we heard just before in that BT,
Oskie saying like, you know, it was very close with his teammates,
but this is the closest it's connected.
Do you feel like you have a big part of that?
Because I feel like the relaxed environment you bring to the team helps that.
I don't know if I bring anything to that.
I think we've just all been together for so long that it's natural you become friends.
You have inside jokes.
I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm a pretty chill guy, but I don't know.
I don't know if it's me or not. We'll never know.
You heard it from him. He doesn't know if he does anything.
Now looking at the matchup coming to Graff's here, obviously you guys had a great season earlier taking down R8 3-0.
Do you guys expect a similar result from this? I mean, they're a calm, cool, collected, but definitely a threat on the other side.
I think they're probably a better team than R8, and we expect a bit more of a five-pack.
We're very confident. We've been from the start, so we'll see how it goes.
Alright, I know you hit me, so I'm going to let you go on. I'm going to go talk to your team in a second. Good luck in the match.
My name is Zack and I play for Space Station Gaming.
My teammates are reviewed on DS.
They're both very mechanical and they're just the best teammates I could ask for.
I would say our team chemistry is very good.
You know, we're all very good friends with each other outside of the game and I think
that carries on onto the field as well.
I would say our qualification journey was definitely up and down.
some high moments especially open four and open five was a little worse. You think we
figure out most of it by open six. We just want to give our best and as long as we give
our best in every match we're happy. We feel like we've done everything we could to prepare
ourselves as best as possible. Anybody can be anybody we're confident. As a Paris major
SSG is going to prove that we belong here and we're one of the top teams in the world.
Now, I'm on the other side here with X-spear from Space Station.
Gaming, the vibes are different.
We've talked with X-spear before, and he said they like to stay locked in, quiet,
and just get the job done.
Coming up against Gentlemates on the other side, though, X-spear,
you know this is a tough opponent.
Since you're just getting into a match in a second here,
I want to let you go, but I want to know, are you guys prepared?
Did you prepare for them specifically?
What are the thoughts going up against a top team like Gentlemates?
I mean, honestly, we're just, like, focused on grinding the most,
going into this major.
I think we're fully ready for them.
I think they're an amazing team, just like us.
Anything can happen, it can be a 3-0-6 for both of us,
it can be a very intense series,
but in my opinion, it's like we play our game,
we can win this, and that's the thing we're focusing on right now.
Just quickly, is this a match you guys look forward to?
They're like, are you guys prepared for the weekend?
100%. I think this is like one of those series
that like, we can show everyone how good we are.
Doesn't matter who we know who's,
I think we can put a good performance here,
and I think we are very confident in right now.
Hey, cool, it sounds like the fans are in for a good time,
though, regardless.
Yeah, 100%.
Perfect, hey, good luck in the match experience,
thanks for chatting.
Thank you.
The space station has shown us flashes of brilliance throughout the season.
They won open number four immediately after picking Zach up.
What a way to establish themselves there.
But we've seen a few statement matches today with Man City taking down NRG.
Space station beating gentlemates here would be another one of those.
I mean, when you look at both of these teams and even with least interview,
you can tell the energy.
You have similarities and differences, similarities, chemistry, right?
They both feel like they're comfortable.
They're friends with their teammates.
You get that, but the the energy is just different on both sides where yes,
Nasky's lean back, but it's confident.
He's a zuberating confidence.
Meanwhile, on the other side of SSG, it's preparation, it's focus,
trying to get into their game plan to get through.
I like what X percent in the interview,
because it does feel that way in this matchup.
Yes, mates are the favorites, but it wouldn't be too surprising
if SSG make this closer, even flip the spread.
Yeah, it's champions versus challengers, right?
The challengers have to meet the champions here.
So the challengers have everything to play for.
Well, the champions have, they're just confident.
They know what they can do.
I am a little excited though about space station.
They've been trash talking a decent amount
throughout this group stage.
I want to see if they trash talk the champions of Boston
as well.
I feel like they were a little quieter versus Feria,
but Feria is a very intimidating team.
So I can see why, but let's see what's going to station for it.
I mean, I'm just excited to see this gentleman squad though.
Again, this is such an ongoing story coming out of Boston.
And yes, that's such an achievement.
But you heard Oskie in the little video saying like,
What in once that's that's that thing I want to be one of the best we have to win twice here
And I think about a player like NASA. We are looking at that one of the best performances
We've ever seen on land. He somehow has huge shoes to fill and they're his own if there's shoes
He made in Boston. He's got to live up to that reputation. He built there
So let us know you think is gonna win in the progressive fan
But we'll make our picks here for the final match today on the mainstream
That's SSG for gentlemates like what you say Gibbs champions versus challengers. I've got to go with the champions
I got to go. Gentlemen, the challenges prove otherwise.
I'm going to listen. Listen, I thought you gave me some or here earlier today.
I said, give me a hand. Let me get some or he held on tight.
I was ready like I said, no, I'm gonna get a little bit more base.
I believe in them all the way, man. I think you can get this done.
Space station feels like little Mac and waiting for the star punch against one of these guys.
But it's not going to happen here.
Mates are too good. Mates are too good.
I got them winning this convincingly. OK, I don't know about convincingly,
But this is a tactician's dream matchup.
I mean, you truly have an aggressive gentlemates team
who comes for and they attack and they squeeze.
They really do.
But then you got SSG, man.
And they are so comfortable and confident
with Zack in the backline.
We've revealed hunting and creating space.
And it's really going to come down
and ask gentlemates, prepare for that.
Are they truly ready for that game play?
I think they might just be,
give me gentlemates, but it's going to be tight, man.
That's what I want to see.
I want to see, but I just want to see,
because gentlemates are a better team.
But SSG's game plan is something special, man.
And so it's just like.
I'm just going to point out, this is the difference between like a head
and a heart.
Like this is how you, I hear that you want SSG to win.
Put your pick in Gentlemates.
Yeah, I am.
I'm picking Gentlemates.
Just remember that next time someone does that in that seat over there, OK?
I also have Gentlemates.
Wait, what does that mean?
What?
Let's see how the court feels about it.
Got Gentlemates on one side, SSG on the other.
And it comes up, Gentlemates.
It's a sweep up here that's gone back and forth today.
You know, it's honestly not a curse at this point.
It's kind of 50-50.
It's a tight game.
Gentlemates are favorite on the desk.
They're the favorites in chat.
They're the favorites by chance, folks.
It's time to close out the day.
What a day it's been.
Do we get more fireworks here as we set ourselves up
for the playoffs?
Gentlemates want to emboss them, folks.
They've got a long road ahead of them
if they want to become back-to-back major champions.
But that road continues right here.
It's Gentlemates versus SSG to close out day two
of the Paris Major.
The first of which is brought to you by Progressive and James Bond, there's a lot of predictions
here.
Four gentlemen, give us the argument of the space station game in taking this series.
You know, I think it's that they just have all the tools needed.
They have won a North American regional that's shown that they can win in a very tough region.
And, you know, I think they could do it if all the stars align, but they're going to have to because you look at what
Gentlemen to have been able to put together so far. They haven't lost to game yet
There's six and open this group stage. Yeah, which is incredible
I almost think you might be second nature signature of hand for gentle lances gonna be very much disappointed up to now
And one thing that I was able to get a little bit of insight from snazky. He was saying there's a little bit weird
Having this major here. It's about 20 minutes away from where they practice
They're going through the same routine that they go through when they're playing in their online events
And so it's just it just feels strange and I was like well is that a positive or a negative?
I don't know. It doesn't say if it's comfortable. You never know who's not scared. It's good old man
He's like it just is
I'm trying to guess his opinion part of the fun where it's not skis as a reminder
Whoever takes this series will win group D
We'll make it into our upper bracket against calming called the loser will face me in Brazil down in the lowest
Naver's gentleman is now having all the pressure so far.
She has the ball yet to get in the corner, Diaz.
On his back, we'll let me know if he could be dangerous.
Can he do the Diaz in 3v3?
He gets a quick reset, gets a hard way.
But reveal the space form, and all those makes it all the way through.
You can see the threat posed.
Diaz, world class 1v1 player, you give him the ball on his hood.
He can do damage to you.
Zack, formerly known as Scribbles.
He was already making waves under that old name.
He took a split off his comeback and really helped elevate SSG to the next level.
So in Boston, they bottomed out in the group, but with Zach already, they've been able to do a little bit better.
Yeah, I saw an interview with Zach while he was saying that the time away really helped him see Rocket League in a different light,
and to see him in a different angle, and seeing it now the way he's playing the game,
he's going to have to do some fending further on.
The gentleman's here, he says, oh, look at you, dangerous already.
You mentioned James, you have to see the game. Incredible statistic.
Considering the teams may have been up against R8 and Furia, and I mean Slouchers.
Unless you're battling away on the B-Stream right now, loser of that will be out, winner is through and third.
I mean, this was a big what-if group. You saw teams over here, R8, who basically taking Team Falcon's spot.
Oh, hold on! Is this the end?
Counts it in! Counts it up for the demo. Easy-peasy here.
It looks like it was a trade maybe, but regardless, nobody's back, that one's going to go right in.
It's very soon to bounce straight in from that angle, normally you need a player to finish it off, but...
Or you've got somebody sweeping the line.
Yes, for sure, Oscar.
That's where we kick off, it was a good kickoff there from Jetson Mice, one of the best kickoff teams in the world.
We'll come in for certainly an EU the two that we're able to take advantage of SSG if you buy themselves
And the lead late on in a game don't count gentlemen
It's out there boys that takes the trip up their sleeves
There's that one on great bump off the ball there from his teammate
SSG after that ball they could see the looking rest of the council
I think they put that one down to a free goal the fact that it went straight in yeah
I mean, it's it's tough to start you to demo at the right time can
three-cabbit, but it's a bigger challenge.
It's going to be fine to find a way to get some possession here.
You can see Diaz with the early shot, but other than that,
SSG not being able to control this ball for very long.
We'll see if it's his act, and you watch, see?
Getting it away.
And a beat there from Ozzie, Diaz, and it is downfield.
A good 50, though, and Diaz does have an abuse.
Maybe he can turn, make something happen,
but the field will be tested to make a save.
Yeah, I think he'll have to head all the way back.
He was going to the bumps way in front of the pool earlier,
which I don't think there seemed a little bit rushed there
with an eight and 30 seconds left.
But we'll see as you get that balance slightly better.
They have been showing great balance
and backing up any trash talk as well.
We want to see from a team like this.
It's fair enough to let to your opponents,
but I mean, coming up against a team like Jensen Mace,
it's when the real questions are asked.
Jensen Mace, more than capable of doing the same right back
as Diaz, but someone into the corner.
demo from Zach.
Yeah, still has control of this ball.
Some looping rounds, gonna fool too, Zach.
Oh, is it full?
I'm trying to tip the Gentzmei player out.
The Gentzmei's got a good 50-50,
and she has to go again.
Big play here, Tiaz.
Able to get it past two.
Didn't get the corner boost still,
but still pretty decent ball there from Tiaz.
However, overextension.
See, Zach last back does pick up his own corner boost.
Then Walker double commits.
Zach gonna need to get a nice hit.
He instead fakes it for Tiaz,
as he goes for the pass off the side wall.
Another fake here from Oskar.
He'll pop it up, get some support from Zach,
being stabilized on both ends.
He's high schooler, controlling this one.
He gets the teammate as well!
Reveals!
Matt, Reveals!
Oh, a second time!
Great stuff from Zach, landing on the ceiling,
buying time for his teammate to move downfield.
Reveal starting that small lane, reading where the defender was.
Such a great play from Zach to have his composure slow the play down and reveal as well slotting that through so SSG
They're making this one interesting
And just when I see him that gentleman's are able to just let this one trickle away SSG don't let them do so
Zach has a chance to
Another one here a feeling from the bull yet again
It seems to be what's good for his gentleman's fixable on but this is coming in but that's
He's picked better than the most maybe one more chance for gentlemen's arms around the corner
Real gets it high, Real has to control this ball because Oskie's already waiting, he does get it to the ceiling, actually has the 100, both teams keen to play on beyond 0-2,
and Zach keeps it up, Oskie has to get something down here, he's not able to, Diaz keeps it alive, has to put on his own net, has plenty of moves, and should be able to kill this goal for overtime game 1.
The wall played by Nass there, he used the ball close, keeps it in and air dribble stays immediately behind the ball, make sure there's no wonky bounces that can happen, that can lose him that game.
Great defense, putting that full tank to work and now, in overtime,
Gentleman's trying to get something going again, Oskie, getting to 50,
Nass with the 50, RG trying to get there first, does get the mid boost,
he has nothing in the tank.
They will keep on going, he's right there, pups that on forwards,
Naskie's way some while, it was a good double for me, I think it was cooled early.
Oskie's in use of the boost either, so Gentleman's, he had too much of a disadvantage
in defense to be there, but I don't know, he might change things,
She steams in he has had too much of the bulls so far. I'll do normally the player who gets the most for gentle mates
And lovely catch there off scheme towards arch you are going this could be a fast follow up
But he backflips leaves it to off he's not the awkward there for gentlemen to the time
Still on the hunt gentle mates trying to make something happen
Good challenge from asking has to turn leave that boost
I think he had no boost. I think he was forced to do that fake and space station gaming ready.
Well, gentlemen, I have too much boost in the town. What they do have is some sustained
territory here in space station gaming's half. It's going to bounce. It's waiting for
that 1SG mistake. We saw this earlier on from gentlemen. They're
much of a good star. Right. They were times of a pin back. The opening
I think it was a five minute oversight.
Gentleman is one, not the rest.
The strike, the strike, keeping the same nail.
Also gets it to the back. Well, Archie's through slow, though.
And it remains 1-1.
Oskie picked up a small pad.
Archie going for a bonzack still.
Hitting it out to the side.
Oskie, pitch attempt.
Archie low-close.
Nas has enough to do something here.
Oskie also boosted up. Flip reset being pushed down field.
Be careful here. Big 50.
Archie trying to slow it down, gets fucked up.
Ball bit back to it.
He actually manages to ride that bomb to keep it going as well for 50-50.
Diaz here, gets it going, NASA days, squeezed out by Diaz and Zack.
Oskie has a hundred boosts to play with now. This is where it can be so dangerous.
He was a difference maker against L.A. Can he be the same?
Oh! It's a nice hit, girl.
Look at how he uses the seal and gets the touch.
Touch immediately, Lance Goatoff!
A fix the shot right away!
He skates behind the ball!
Magical indeed from Oskie to keep their perfect record alive.
In the interview of his, that we still play out
before this series, he was saying to win two majors.
That's when you really start to make a statement as a team.
That's when you start to enter the immortality phase.
And if Oskie can carry on playing throughout this tournament,
The way he has today, he's made Nass seem quiet.
How's that going with his key, like,
and the way he did in Boston as well?
Oskie was phenomenal, and he can create those moments.
I mean, one goal in the big picture, maybe not so much,
not that big a deal, but in these moments
where it's overtime, this could be the game
that decides the series in the end.
Oskie, with a crazy play, pulls this goal out of nowhere.
Yeah, he's done this before as well, I mean,
It's not here like Carson, a lot of the games with the German's days last season and the amount of times they'd be a slow match up.
You know, they're not playing particularly well, they're not particularly exciting.
And suddenly, Oskie's gone to the ceiling and got a flip reset, like, where did they come from?
And it's players like that that can take those moments where it looks like they don't have enough boost, the defense is back.
How can you score? And they find ways to score.
And moments like that, overtime goals are so massive, they can continue to just propel the team to the next level.
And then Aski keeps stepping up in these big moments.
It's a special sort of player,
and Aski is a special sort of player.
And this gentleman's team,
they're looking like a very special team,
but they still have space station gaming in front of them,
who are going to have confidence themselves.
They make big comebacks for the North American season,
and so far here, the Paris Major.
For sure we will see SSG move up the gears themselves,
but as the season improved,
as the series went on earlier on against our eight,
will they do the same?
The SSG have enough to stop the gentleman. It's really warring into life.
Man, speaking of R8, they get that first game when over a furia.
So, it's looking like the R8 surviving in Group D.
Reminded that is on a B-Stream. Huge B-Stream day, sir.
You are feasting for a general fan of Broccoli.
Oscar gets that one towards the mouse. Now, he gets the reset.
And then he calls it upwards.
Just make sure she gave me... I think I'll take the first minute being goalless here,
just to make sure that Jetsonaze won't really run away
if they let me steal her in their series earlier.
You can see how quickly things can change.
Pass on the dribble, goes for it 50,
out to Archie, 50's in the corner,
and then it opens the gap.
Awesome, good enough regardless.
Plus, I think Nash was back and had that angle covered.
Yeah, I think Nash's going to be coming in just about,
got back inside, but he had no boost.
All he could do was get the next touch.
Thankfully for him and Jetsonaze, it was going to be enough.
That's a great touch there from DS from one side to the other,
and he's got Zach in front of him carrying a puck.
I guess in class 1 the Fender should follow up with what a block from Archie.
Archie to push that towards the backboard. You don't want to hit that back in the DF, he's playing the dunk.
And I'm now going for a go! Rebound is out of fun!
Couldn't get anything off the rebound.
Still this is solid rock.
Going for the wall pitch! Wall pitch sent all the way down to the corner.
They hit them so consistently down the pro players, every time they line one up, you just know there's going to be some power on it.
I'm not quite sure where it's going to go, but it'll certainly change the variety of approach the Jets are trying, that sort of pinch.
He's in the middle here, Archie gets it to him, wants to get the ball to Nass and Archie Nass, back towards Archie, he sends it high again, Nass.
There's another boost, so there's just going to be little teases here at Space Station again, trying to keep the attack on them.
Yeah, so she's doing well, getting boosted up, staying on the backboard, looking for their opportunity to counterattack, just waiting for that opening.
He has, he's trying to kick start with Archie.
Throwing things off the midfield, another challenge.
Moves the ball out front, reveals, booms it up, and good beat from Archie yet again.
Now it's just such an impressive play for Jensen. Thanks for seeing why here,
reading everything SSG are feeling already, that a huge save in this game.
When they see the SSG, they're about to pull the trigger.
Off-speed, fourth sense in the middle. Jensen makes a win in these 50-50s.
Not always poor from Archie, but there's a lot of preclearance for space station gaming.
Jass, reset pass, goes for a plump.
Oskie, looking to set up Archie here.
Archie does get a finger on it.
You can see who struggles to get a refill blow-up on Zero Gets
Cradling, getting hooked up, and there is a clear downfield.
And some big luck as well.
And that Nass was going to get the flip reset.
He had a space station gaining player in his face.
Reveals underneath this one.
Notice that Archie has the flip reset,
so Reveal just has to wait, and he's coming forward again.
Aren't you now the one playing in front of the ball?
Jets are trying to make all the play great.
That's from mass. I'll ski a little bit straddle us to use all of this boost and get it behind and ready to be passively
I'm actually gonna be able to take this boost. So is this the moment James a space station gaming itself to come forward
It looked like it's such a good 50 from Archie right to Nass Archie will have a little bit of space
Pops over one mosquey back to our GTF trying to intercept. Could we get during time?
Space station gave me a lot of trouble linking up finally do it here. Will it be enough reveal the fake?
He sweeps the line to keep that out.
Yeah, they'll say the comms were good there, they'll say a lot of saves,
but it looked a little bit dodgy on the eye test,
but, gentlemen, SSG coming forward again.
They have indeed stepped up.
They've rolled away from gentlemen's pressure.
Now, Zack keeps it going. He's got a hundred moves.
Nasty. Here's it as far as he can.
He has already waited. Again, not too much proof for space station gaming.
They're able to do something with it.
They just want Apple to drop for one of them.
It's just not happening. We're so close.
Oh, this is a great play.
Isolation!
Oh, look at how Oskie weeds through the defense.
History set back down to the ground.
Pops him by, forces it awkward, saved out of reveal.
And then the clean up on the goal line.
Beautiful counter-attacking play for Oskie.
A gentleman's hand up in between that team,
55 seconds and they've won the kickoff
and they have a hundred boosts and it's falling to Oskie.
And he gets a pass towards Oskie, but it's saved by SSG.
That's...
For fuck's sake, it's pulled you off the ball.
Knocked up by Archie, Oskie there, going for a sidewall double.
Oh! You know he wanted it.
Okay, he's scored those before, but you've seen Oskie do it.
That's not a bad touch from Zack either.
Reminding us, Space Station Gaming still very much in this one,
just has to get that goal, they need to pull.
To work with them rather than against them.
Reveal it, Oskie.
Pulls towards Zack. Reveal there, has 100 moves to get.
20 seconds now, Space Station Gaming was their way forward.
No way forwards, Naskas a touch, he walks behind him.
Tiaz can't read the Naskas reset, can he get the dunk nearly reveal out wide?
Final 10, Zag trying to dribble it, broken up by Aski, Zag,
Bonsaski up the ball and goes for a pass middle.
Tiaz, can't get there in time, a safe hit to the corner and
Gentlemates clean up game two, Gentlemates still unbeaten in that group.
Incredible scenes from them so far.
Even in their wildest dreams, even though Asnasky was saying they're pretty much home, everything is so natural for them at this place.
You're not expected to go on beats in a group like this. And still they're a main chill, still they remain calm.
Stay Station Gaming, do they have a reverse sweep in them?
Can they get three in a row against a team that's not lost any yet?
It's going to be a lot to ask. You wonder if the timeout's going to be called to your Stay Station Gaming.
I didn't go back to the drawing board.
Shut up this game.
It was a very close game though.
There were some moments where SSG maybe could have put something together, but overall,
I can ask you again, making his in-house belt.
And also, yeah, doing what he's been doing for an entire career, making sure he's there
from the easy finish and the open net.
most stats and of course as you can see that space station gave me have taken
that tactical time out so 30 more seconds for a gentleman's to shrug.
There's a good reason to farm stats in this one.
Absolutely yeah.
Paris Buddle which will be in the shop.
That being 100% pointed towards the players, they will receive 100% of the proceeds from
that Paris Buddle and get it in the shop.
I know I need to get it in the shop still, but you know being here I don't have my gaming
set up to log in and get it yet. Hopefully I can get it in time. Yeah, true. It's something
we've wanted for years in Rocket League as well. I'm so happy that that has been added.
It's such a cool feature. If you know about that, make sure you check it out and support
the Esport as you already are just by watching this. So thank you everyone who can hear my voice
right now. Very much appreciated everyone keeping on this and hopefully you're enjoying it as much
as we all are because so far, James the Paris Major, well and truly living up to expectations. Oh,
And you know, it's going to get even crazier once the crowd arrives, especially when you have, you know, if if they win this, you've got a gentleman's
carming Corp upper bracket matchup.
I believe that's not happening until Saturday.
But that's the way to be know.
Yeah, that is worth waiting for.
Absolutely.
Also, just giving you better chances for a French team making it all the way to the finals.
So, you know, a lot of pressure on these players.
But so far, Gentlemates coming off the back of that Boston Major title.
There has been no hitch in there, Gideon.
They're going 100%. They look to be firing on all cylinders, Cole.
Well, Grace, your bets. Are they able to go 9-0?
It would be an incredible statement.
And Gentlemates about five minutes away from making it.
Space Station gaming, such a dangerous team.
You know, they were equal to NRG on points.
They're only behind them as number two seed on season points overall.
So they're more than capable of getting games against gentle mates, but it has to start here, James.
Absolutely.
We're still going to be making it through, which is something I'll be happy about.
But this is valuable experience here.
A chance to really make a name for yourself against the games best.
That's all close from Archie.
I saw him sit at the park at one of those in Free Play earlier before the series started.
He's definitely been training those skims.
Between those and pictures, you're never safe with Jetsubates on the pitch.
Big dunk there and a boost steal as well from Archie.
He keeps the attack going. Archie sticks there as well.
He knows where to stay. Diaz gets it to the side, though.
Haven't seen too much in space station games, mechanical maestros.
I want to see a little bit more.
Ah, with the block, comes through, intercepts it.
That one bounces straight in, SSG already out to a bit of a struggle.
You can see Reveal streaking in, hoping to get a piece of it.
Did he pan out?
And the gentleman is Cheeky Grins.
The Cheeky Grinometer is a pretty full swing now for Gentleman.
He's looking at her at the most dangerous.
One goal, getting a freebie there from the mistake from Reveal.
You do want to get this team easy goals,
especially when they can score ones potentially like this one.
Actually coming from end to end.
That's a great touch there from Zack.
Couple of touches as well.
feel trying to make up for his error but he said it back flies off the into the top corners he has
gets the same more danger from gentlemates just when it seems the space station gaming
gonna have a chance at their own have all the pressure against the oski massive dung but won't
quite score from it. The most script-taining gentlemates may look to be on track for this
perfect group stage call. Nine and oh if they can close this one out and what was he very scary
group looking at all the teams heading into this event. I'd be very curious if a 9-0 group has
happened yet in these four team groups so at direct, let us know, will this be another first for
Gentlemace as they continue to break new ground and not leave magnificence in this.
It's like Archie's already up, Archie underneath him but Archie misses, there was a chance there
and they could have gotten onto the back wall and then wow, Archie, didn't need that, what a touch
That's what I meant to learn.
I'm just trying to get that boost deal.
I wasn't able to do it very easily.
I could have been another golfer.
Gennamates, they're just...
Wow, and SSG's staying in this game.
They've had a couple good looks.
They'll put it away.
SSG's been a little bit flat,
but all it takes is one play.
That's one of the interesting things about Gennamates.
You know, they don't always have to mix their opponents.
They've been improving on this counter-attack game.
Probably ever since Open 4,
the one that Oskie mentioned where they were shaky.
They played their best, and they're able to adapt the play sign on the fly.
So you do not need to. Another 50-50 goes safe, Oskie.
He gets half a touch away, then he freaks the job and gets a dunk as well, exactly.
Quality in the end. The first was a great, falls actually to a chance to watch.
You can get this double tap, there's also lots of angle on it.
And Zack has to be very aware.
There's that into a threat, hot-based to that Oskie extra effort.
In the end, 50 now, Oskie! Oh, save! It saved the 3-pound! It's punched in!
Oskie puts gentle mates up by two.
That might well be too much for space
that you may need to bring back.
Archie's shot was safe, but Oskie followed well.
Zack couldn't quite get enough of it.
And Shensome is on the cusp.
Genesis of pressure, was that Oskie extra effort?
You know, he's pushing downfield,
gets that extra clutch on the ball,
gets that 50, kicks it off the sidewall.
They think awkward for SSG,
prevented SSG from going on attack.
Such smart challenges.
Surgical with their challenges as well, such a mechanically pristine team as gentlemen.
I love the decision there from Matt, so I love the Glick Reset, instead of getting to another shot for his teammate Archie.
Archie always sniffing about, space station gaming, struggling to be able to gentle mate's pace and precision.
Well, so you guess that Matt was already waiting, what could he come to your up here, this could be fun if he could score from this position.
Get a clash, this is the Glick Reset though, and still scoops it away towards Archie, who again is there to follow up, gets the pass to the right.
And it's only as far as the Espa now.
Asilovsky comes in for the huge double tap, and sticks it on, sails it!
Asilovsky is on fire once more!
Routine double tap, just like the Pax!
Slams that one home, and gentlemates just over a minute away from sweeping their group.
9 game wins in a row, unless we see some SSG heroics. How deep can they dig?
It looks like even if I play it absolutely best, I'm not going to be able to score 3 in a minute.
And thanks to my gentleman, I'm not able to do that. It's a matter of if that didn't get that touch and somehow fluffed it is still free of.
This is, I think, a bit disappointing for Ashes, but on the other side, you just have to feel so confident if your
gentlemates come out in a tough group to absolutely dominate.
This would be good, and oh, they throw in one more. Why not?
A fake there for Mosky. He'll pay me meant to.
Gaskets a touch. Just spoons it for when Mosky's lying here, bro. I remember.
I think, to be fair, I think he did look at the replay. I didn't think so at the time.
But I'm cool with any of that.
I believe you, I believe you're cool.
Gentlemen, now I hold it. It looks like they bounced off one another.
I might have to look at that.
The bounce, the bounce play.
I mean, now's the time to practice your odd ones.
Yeah, exactly. Go to page 7.
Page 7, kick off B, the bounce.
We'll practice it now. We're 4-0 aren't we?
Dancing our way towards an upper bracket match with Carmen and Colt.
That's going to be a thriller like we were saying before, a match worth waiting for, especially when
gentlemates have been playing so well, but also K-Corp looking to be back to their old selves as
well. It is going to be amazing, but for now, gentlemates will celebrate their sweep of Group D.
Just an incredible performance. The service is full touch, as the Bloisage keep it up. Come on,
Let's go for a round of eyes.
They're hitting the floor.
Gentlemates.
Boys, are you saying I'm beating a group D?
Something like that.
Didn't drop a game.
9 and 0.
Gentlemates dominating their group
and setting up a date with K-Corp.
Matt, as you say, will be in a couple of days time.
I may will be some people in the crowd.
I think a lot of people misunderstand this.
They will think, oh, it's French teams.
Everyone's going to be cheerful.
Not how it works in France, guys.
The gentle base fans will want to beat KC and if they lose to KC, they will not be rooting for KC.
Yeah, it's not a USA-USA-USA kind of situation is it?
Not at all.
Not at all, but for gentlemates, they're going to be going into that K-Court matchup with extreme confidence.
This is no pushover.
This SSG team is a real threat in North America.
They want a regional in NA.
They continue to make like miserable for NRG and when they're on fire playing on point
It does look like they could be the best but up against gentle mates
They did they just looked like they weren't on the same level whatsoever
And this was pure domination from gentle mates especially posky who played lights out like it
Yeah, as best as you can they have to take some lessons for this one because the current teachers are popular these folks and gentle mates
They're with me
I think things are going to start getting silly around here if we have to start copying the
Atmosphere of this squad because Oski you guys are just coming in loose, but shooting like cannons out there. You're looking good
Thank you, mom. I mean it's the way we've always tried to do things and we're just saying consistent of it
Yeah, no it definitely is over. I mean I was looking at this
I'm like, you know if you're you're looking real good
And I think you said well we're the major champions we have to like you have expectations on yourself coming into this
I mean obviously win another one, but I mean when I say that as more of a joke
Yeah, yeah, but like I work for things of ourselves is to be the best and we just want to keep doing that
That's many to one of those become yeah
I'm actually curious because I know like my mental is is always I'll make a joke like oh
We can win as a way to shield myself from like committing too hard and then overthinking
Is it the same for you or is it just because the atmosphere?
No, I mean when it comes to winning like we don't try to think about it too much
So obviously we know we can win, but if we kind of try to stick to our plan, right?
Just focus on that.
And if we do it, we'll win.
Yeah. I mean, again, everyone says it, but only a few teams pull through with the ear.
Looking at your opponents across the board, you played a few different regions,
we sure in scrims as well.
How are you feeling, I guess, just in terms of the overall landscape of this major?
And like, is it really just like the French Orange teams and the European region
is like going to be that far ahead?
Yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone's like bad, but like there's a gap. There is a gap
Yeah, but I think this land is gonna be easier than Boston as in like there's no like the wind like
There's no falcon right. Yeah, I think energy are lower in level KT look good
Casey look really good compared to the last major and if I tell you I'm not sure just yet. I'll see him a player
Yeah, but again, I'm not trying to think about it. You know, I'm just thinking that's that's fair enough
I think the key things and fans are gonna take it out of that as energy is at a lower lower right now
That's they're gonna feel that one, but I guess looking to the weekend
I want to get your thoughts you have to be excited about the crowd because you know Boston is cool
But you know it's gonna be even louder and especially especially the fans are gonna be back in you guys
Yeah, I mean, this is the stuff you play for you know like under a French organ Rock League
Well, but there's many fans like it's I can't wait. I don't think you're gonna be able to handle it
You seen it out there. I mean we can handle it
Yeah, it's gonna be wild out there to get prep prep for tomorrow
I guess what's the game plan or not tomorrow that I think it was playing after that
What's the game plan for you guys before you play your first match on the weekend?
Oh, I mean same as always like I don't I don't sit back chill and make a ask yeah
That's the main one, but I don't know like we don't play tomorrow, right?
No, no, I think you guys come in a number and we'll be okay
So tomorrow I assume would you be screaming twice like three times. I don't know how many times and then Saturday
Again, I don't know. Well, we'll see we'll see your job to think about
You know, I'm not gonna make you think anymore. I was gonna say congratulations
on the day looking good and hopefully they keep that going on into the weekend.
But that's it. Year four groups. I got no more thoughts. I barely had any to
begin with. So let's go back to the best things you would have to say.
Gentlemates are the top team out of group D. They went three and oh here.
Incredible performance from them. And we will see them play. Carming core on
Saturday, which is crazy. They'll save that for last probably those fans.
Like that's gonna be a fun one. Obviously both those teams look electric, but nine
know when that group for the mates. We knew they were tier above. We didn't
realize how much above they were. Yeah, incredible, incredible. We'll do some
room. We'll show you the highlights here from this one. They were to quickly jump
over and watch the remainder of the alternate stream because Furion is
trying to battle back right now against rule one. But let's talk about the
gentleman's here. What did we learn about the gentleman's? We saw game one
really quick. I just want to mention that Space Station highlight of the
Pissed Buffet. We won't see that for the rest of the series because
Generally defense just played so incredibly well. Thank you for letting us know you're a watch a successful game
Okay, I'm glad you got that in real quick. What we do know for SSG is you know a big conversation about the physicality the limos
Would they be effective? No, they weren't SSG also didn't really feel like they were being able to fight
You get super locked in and be able to follow each other up and for mates
What we know is they are still in form and that is the most dangerous thing going into playoffs
especially when they're faced up against Carmen Corp here.
If they continue to play on their level,
I mean, we've seen what they did in Boston.
Yeah, we see offensive demos.
Yeah, we saw Reveal trying to hunt,
but he didn't connect on a lot of those demos.
And Space Station couldn't create any offense off of it
as we saw in that Game 2 and 3.
Yeah, that was tough for SSG, but listen,
that's a learning experience.
And Xperia talked about it.
They can go 3-0 either way.
Both games, one, games two.
We're both tight.
Game four, I mean, game three.
Genome's pulled.
Well, you can see we've got one match still yet to be determined
determined down their RA eSports versus Furia. They're playing right now. They're in game
for our eSports up two to one in the series. They had match point drop game three to Furia.
Then they scored first in this game. Furia equal yet again.
It's standing up. I can't see this confidence. Okay. It is two by two and I'm two by two.
That doesn't make any sense.
That's it.
The pressure of that 1R8, we talk about the nerds coming out for them.
Fury gets that game three, and then it starts creeping in the back of your head.
There's sweet possibilities here for Fury.
And again, what's the matchup for whoever wins this match plays who?
Whoever wins this match plays NRG.
That's correct.
And winner of this place, NRG, a date with the world champions, the world champions that
are coming up a game earlier, that was uninspiring.
So over these teams, they'll be coming to momentum, the world champs will definitely
be playing and trying to correct what they did today.
up one-on-one a piece though. A minute phase is what you got. I mean when this is looking right now
you can you see it a little miss a punch but look at this right now for Furia just low boost here
in his position. They got it out, they got it out again with the mid-boost and the dunk as well.
Law says chance again, again just some small touches just out of place. That's too heavy.
Now Mahalo he's got plenty of space on the 12. Don't forget the quick flip we said a little bit
too low though so the challenge comes up. So guys did you want to jump really early for that?
That's be careful. Make sure to space out, but the furia. I mean talk about this team and these players what?
It's like Yansman in for the accomplice. She's been onto the climb for the most part.
Yeah, wouldn't it be something to be able to see them just get a resurgence?
It's such a big win for either of these teams. They get to play in front of this awesome crowd here in France.
It's gonna be amazing. Both want to experience that.
And looks like we might be heading to it over time.
The last loss can increase that one in, slides to the side.
Yeah, and we'll keep it alive though.
Try for one more pass out to the middle.
Zula, Mahala, team up to kill the ball,
and we got a both of these teams in the end of reset.
That game was going to get a little bit slow.
Yeah, it was getting slow.
It was getting strong.
They moved way faster than that.
Yeah.
I felt that way as well.
Maybe a little bit of nerves at play, too.
Remember, trying to be like from the line here.
It is on the line, but listen.
But a lot of these teams need to realize this that we start playing scared.
It don't matter here's the only extending the inevitable the teams that win the team.
They are aggressive.
They attack and they don't give out space lost in right there.
Moon low stakes.
He hit the call this bound over his head.
Now I do what's going to get in.
Balls goes up quickly.
Mohammed, where's that meaner pressure?
Here's home.
Swift and lost both in the air.
No boost.
A lot of pressure on Yan here.
Great save there.
Got these chance for the midfield.
Muhammad cannot cross over to stress pass it down, but now counterattack opportunity here
Swift up throws it up high no one around though in a wasted counterattack there
Bye sir boomer ball a personified. Yeah, you mean you can see a couple off ball like looks for bumps here on the side of fury
But again, it does feel like they're just a movie a little too slow and that's been like a big issue here
Even when they're able to kind of connect it doesn't feel like
Like, R8 need to react very fast.
Like, they can kind of take their time and build things up.
I think R8 on their side, they're just scared to make a mistake
and everyone's going to throw this game away.
After no inferiority, we'll take a game from them.
Got the price, I've been there for that one right there.
That was a shot opportunity.
Some Brown challenges are great right now by R8,
just keeping this ball on the R side of the field.
Dozen, another great challenge.
Drops it down, yeah, big player Abdul.
He's got to do well with this, gotta be patient.
He does very well.
Round two throws it deep, it's what's his thing.
Look at what he does with the ball.
They just can't just throw it away.
It gives up possession.
They have a lot of time there.
They need to take that approach, have so much more space.
Loose control right here though, period.
But it's the first time, it feels like.
They do nothing with it.
The ball is just made it all the way back to mid-mine.
How's it going?
Yeah, and again, on the counter.
Got plenty of loose control.
Oh, the ball gets the ball.
We're going to the Champions field.
Everything on the line between these two teams.
How does that happen?
We'll change that.
You got that touch too.
Wow.
He lost his perfect follow.
He believed in the end to make the play.
And there's a lot of things on the line.
Obviously, your corner life is on the line.
But also, for the Mina two seed and the Sam two seed,
whoever loses this, that seed goes into the play-in tournament.
The other seed goes to the main event at the World
Championship.
Fiora, they're still battling for the Sam one seed as well.
So a lot on the line.
So much pressure, because everyone
wants to play in front of the scrunch prep.
We haven't had a reverse sweep today, have we?
I don't think so.
We had one yesterday.
Yeah, we've had about every other spectacular type
of match today.
How what a way it would be for Fury
to reverse sweep their way into playoffs.
Ooh.
You have to feel that their favorite's going into game five
because Fury's been here so many times before.
The biggest difference between these teams
is their experience level, the veterancy
of these Fury players.
That is the biggest thing that they've
the biggest staff they lead in over these RA boys.
I mean, that'd be crushing.
They got a first left.
And also that would be really crushing as well.
I mean, we met the major, the Falcons didn't.
And I understand that Falcons, chemistry-wise,
might not be as good as last year,
but talent-wise, they're still very, very great.
They don't need a name.
They don't need a name.
And so the fact that you're here,
do some damage.
Exactly.
If you're here and they're not, means that you earned this spot.
You were playing at a world-class level.
So to go out, 0-3.
Yeah.
And imagine then Falcons would be in the playing tournament?
Yeah.
That's brutal.
All right, eSports called a timeout, by the way.
So they are currently game planning here
champions field. I mean, Bates, this is what we talk about
for the first touch. We're trying to talk some sense of the
world is these teams is like, yeah, of course, you can do
well in the region. But when you get to these land stages,
there is a different beast. And you do have to kind of play
in an environment that you might not necessarily be kind of
comfortable in. And even though you've did all this work at
home, you're not playing on that home setup. This is where you
start to really make your name for yourself. And for our
this is like a new experience for them. Even though they have
of the land experience before at the RLCS.
I mean, it's RLCS and it's a Paris major right here.
Now they're not playing the wild card.
Remember, they did well, it was playing.
They played it and now they made the main win.
They got slapped.
But listen, that's a growing pain for them
and learning experience.
But now you're here, end game number five,
and you're so, you're so right.
And we used to really think about that more often.
That used to be the turbo buff.
That's why turbo used to join all the teams
and he had the land soft.
Even if he wasn't, that's a formal line.
People always are like, turbo, we have no land.
He's gonna be coming, we're gonna be happy.
That's why you got four rings to his man.
And so that's what you're looking for at this moment.
You're looking for land experience.
Who can make the plays happen?
You watched this RA team,
and on the meanest stream, they're aggressive.
They're fast, they're quick.
They don't give you any space right now.
You're not seeing that. They're slow.
You're not seeing that. Don't let the nerves take over.
It's game five, all the ships back against the wall.
Who's gonna make the play happen?
Winner goes, plays tomorrow, loser's out of tournament.
And like Gip said, that loser will be playing
in the play-in tournament.
Well, for Fury, but for RA,
They'll have to go to the LCQ as well.
So they will be ouch completely.
So they're playing for the tournament lives.
They're playing for the World Championship lives as well.
Already you're starting to see just a little bit of early.
Just pressure from Furia definitely kind of keeping up
the pace here.
Oh!

Click on the secret last year, but you join period the crème de la crème of the region for past two three seasons
The expectations are on you know, you know, man, you gotta make that play happen. I'm doing shows to the both
Is it right by a demo my work in her favor
After I first go you can feel the momentum kind of shit right there
Oh zero boost like how to get high I do is he got through some back. I see that
No third.
Aggressive play there by Fury, but it does work out.
They get a lot of boost in that midfield, so Yan will take it back.
Try for a flipper set, all the way down the field.
And he does decent.
He'll actually get the ball and switch.
Try to come in and help, but that means counterattack.
That means they're going to be so loose.
Yeah, all the way to get back.
That's why Muhammad is at the most basic air dribble known to mankind.
Nobody was worried about it.
Golden opportunity.
Nice in field pass.
No give and go, no opportunity.
opportunity with the challenge there by sherry a lost zero boost again. Oh, that is a miscommunication. You can't reach up that one
Loser zero boost, but they do probably thought he was gonna flick it out. I guess. Yeah, that's fair. Just just like that
But again, yeah, just again miscommunication there on the play have to be careful. It does feel like you don't necessarily have to
hit the painting button. They understand they have time here to work with just by execution.
You know, I was trying to set something up, but that one goes high, lost, bring it to the sidewalks, bring it to Abdullah.
Yeah, we'll pop it, and Fury are moving upfield, but low boost here, just playing the 50s.
This was going to get away from them. They haven't been able to really control the ball of field.
Yeah, and the game's going to slow down again, so our low pace increase once R8's scored,
but now we're right back to how we found a gamer for pops all across the map.
What do you say right there from Abdullah?
Swam the door close on a beautiful period play,
but period looks again.
That's like the second or third time
they bump into air dribble into the bump into the follow.
It's given him opportunities, but he's
still got to be a little more creative in these moments.
And another ground challenge win there by R8.
So just relieve some of that pressure,
get some boost without some miscommunication on the back line
as you get back just in time.
Lost.
Keeping it alive fourth area.
Trying to waste out R8.
Yeah, with more than the midfield ball.
Now, pass across to him, and then we're done!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Do I know ball or do I know ball?
Yeah, gotta be more creative with it.
They finally go for an end goal play,
swift jump, lost pre-jump, he switched it up on him.
It's about their creativity.
That's what TSM has been doing so well this whole time.
And I know they're out in the tournament,
but maybe because they just don't have the experience,
they might not have the individual mechanics
that other teams have, but they do have the synergy.
And that opens up a score of 1-1-1-0.
And now it's going to get you.
There you go.
It's free ball for you.
Another area ball.
It's a ball of fire!
Hey, there's the bread and butter.
They went for it.
Third time to charm, baby.
One first time, then it worked.
Second time, didn't work, but listen.
Mama told me to keep going, doing what I can do.
That's how it works.
That's how it works.
And teammate said, stop doing this.
Get creative.
It doesn't matter.
Don't go back to it as well.
Don't go back to the play ball.
Listen, but this is a combo, a one-pointer.
You've got to keep from getting it.
And exactly, you've got to keep your opponent on the heels.
You can't let them get comfortable and get
experience.
Yeah, experience.
with the experience they were down to goal in game five.
But they were on phase, now they have to leave.
Now it's on all right now, that one.
They really got to accept the tall here.
Look at the fuel up, a little bit of room.
Look at the full boost.
So they get the flip, but it's a little awkward.
Mahana went as well, so now they're
going to be going back here and trying to get boosted up,
which means, again, they're going to give up that midfield.
Skazi, you see loss already up in the midfield,
gets a pass, one, can he do it again?
Look at the bump.
I'm doing one, it's a follow-up.
Challenges though, we're too late.
And now, they're outnumbered on defense.
Ari has to be careful.
We saw this from the Glick Space Station.
They gave up a lot of free goals.
They can't give it up now.
They're only down one.
They're still plenty of time.
That's Center.
Got minute 34 left.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
That's what the left of the group want to see.
Well, the play was, you guys, able to get there in time.
Yeah, push it out.
Center, this is exactly what if you
want to be there, able to take the boost.
Everybody gets the time in the air.
Now, we get demos and bumps.
Do the sweet control, but just not enough
to increase that score line just yet.
Yeah, but I mean, all right, they
got to start storming and they're stuck in her own half at the morpheria
full control for the most part keeping that thing in touch and the ball is just
stuck on the ball happy taking out he's gotta be able to read that he does
gossie hang up John's from Mohammed no boost boss knows it too
they're taking him out there's something getting them slowly they're going to save
from Mohammed again gossie gets control
this is panic pure panic
he controls it at least around two or one away
oh for that first touch not too much pace on that so it's gonna be stuck in that
Orch have lost his dogs about to get back. He's boosted up. I've got to deny the food problem
You cannot reverse in this moment Mohammed are gonna go from another air drill a pump of the second man is there's no where to be found
The chance is for a solo can a bullet do it all
But still makes the play
Where's the ball though
Now I gotta send the house.
You gotta send everyone.
God, see it all?
That's beat by loss like another great aerial challenge
by loss, 10 seconds.
Abdullah, let's sit into the corner.
Here's God.
Can you get it Nick?
That's gonna be the first one.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
There's no follow-up.
Mohamed and Hephaust either.
They keep this up.
But Yan is gonna grab it.
And that's gonna be the series.
Feria, complete the first whip.
And they'll lock it back.
And that's why you don't start chirping too early.
Oh my god, I need it.
Put me in my theory, boy.
Hey, you start chirping as them boys.
Don't give them a hand.
They taking them out.
Oh, my goodness.
Experiences King in Rocket League.
And we saw it right there.
The nerves.
That boy was bouncing from the net,
but he didn't even shake the ball to get middle.
I think it was Muhammad.
It was just an empty blade.
It was so empty.
0% language understood or shared between these players,
but 100% understood in what's being said.
We learned back in 2021, 2022 Los Angeles,
nobody chirps at the end of the match like Yan does.
That's true.
I was lucky to throw a headset this time.
Oh, there we are.
There's no finger right here.
Man, there's a smoke out of his darn chirping.
It just seems like we're ever presuming
you're pulling this thing, they got chirping.
And now Fury have booked their tickets to NRG, Camaro.
Credit to South America, you know,
they've been down the dumps for a bit,
but they got both their teams through the groups.
They're very sweet.
Reverse sweep to end day two.
I mean, one of the most spectacular days of group play.
We've had from top to bottom, the world champs
getting beat, swept 3-0, multiple overtimes
on champions field or a reverse sweep here
to close the day, to put a region through
that was otherwise eliminated.
Incredible performance and you gotta give us,
you gotta tip your hat to the RA boys.
What a, coming out for the first land as a squad here.
And the way that they played together there. Yeah, the experience not quite there at the end. Yann's able to put it together
You said it the nerves we said it
Yeah, we thought it would work again nerves was gonna be the difference maker and it was now they'll have to go back to online
They got one LCQ left to determine if they're the best team and make it back to the world championship
Incredible what a day. I mean
What was your favorite moment today?
Personally, it was a it was a vitality foot game five because that's incredible
was balling. Zen was balling. You guys had even alluded up to it in the death
segment lead enough to it. Those were like players to watch and then they showed
up and showed out doesn't get much better than that for the day. But of
course, you know, seeing Fury take that win there also just as impressive. I mean,
there's a lot of results. So like I know you fans are loving that you five at the
top of the group right now. It just goes to show you why these majors are so
special because this is what you get at. I mean, what I'm looking at right now,
gentlemen's when a group of space station theory are a game differential nine perfect perfect in that group is just sensational
How good gentlemen's are playing right now going into the bracket. They have to be your favorite been crazy though
Big win against Vitality yesterday, but we did see the man see you all right touched on it and then rebellion the sleeper team
The sleeper team of it can they continue their level? We saw greatness yesterday, and we saw okayness today
What are we going to see come Saturday is the question for Abel.
Yeah.
What's it mind though, man, too,
putting up, setting a record.
The record of nine goals in a game for a team on land
in the game had been, had helped for a long, long time.
Getting up to 10 there, setting that record.
Also, it's getting the score.
Got me first time.
We've had a new one of those on land since season one.
An incredible record-setting experience.
And exactly the type of bounce back you want to see
after the day of one they had.
Yeah, they were testing our overlays out.
You know, double-digit scoring is always fun to see.
So credit to them, but that was just a fun day.
And then we got a little cast in at the end here.
So it's a good time, good time.
Here's Tom.
A little quad cast and round up.
Wave there is anything.
He can barely see them on the board.
True bad, true bad, true bad.
Jeremy, who'd you pick by the way?
Oh, God.
Oh, wow.
I told you, pick one for five.
Yeah, it's one for five.
It's not good, man.
It's not good.
He's going to pass us on.
T-Bates really does not want to wear that time.
The faith is rewarded for being there.
He's he's stuck with them for a long time.
It finally comes to the area and to both South American teams
making it through to the plan.
Exactly.
South America, you know, they came through as three seeds,
but still they're through.
And now in front of a crowd, you know,
Fury likes to play well proud.
So what they do, but they also, I think they have a terrible
time record against in on G2.
I think the record is terrible.
I think they always lose or they don't always lose.
They lose a lot.
Like a Thomas record against Jan is fantastic.
And that goes back to every iteration of Tom and his play with so
Theory is tough draw for them, but you know G didn't look a little slow today a little sluggish and period game five
Yeah, I would say the last two and a half at first two and a half a little shake
The last two and a half where they added and short mixed the things up. That's the theory of people want to see that's a period
I could actually contend that's what you kind of love. I mean they have the JD
That's what you look for and energy's lost their plot armor, right? So who knows?
They lost the plot armor, but I don't know
The blocks don't go, actually there's a new block, I believe it's the first time a tommy's ever going to start in the lower bracket.
Interesting.
It's a new plot, it's a new storyline now.
Whatever you gotta tell yourself.
No, no, no.
Right now, just know the lower bracket's hot-way.
I wonder with the French crowd, are they gonna be cheering for Furia or NRG?
That's what I wonder.
They want NRG going.
You think they want NRG going or you think they want to get them so that the French teams can beat them?
They don't.
How do I want to see my toughest competition?
You want to get to revenge yourself.
energy is getting better.
That is true.
When they win worlds in there,
in France, that's true.
Fury is going to be 100%
for this crap.
You know the whole thing over here?
They can hear him walk in and he's like,
you leave that one for me, that one's mine.
Like you know?
Like you know it's been in Diggie's arena twice
and every time he's gotten booed.
It's probably going to go back again.
It's probably going to get booed again.
You should change it up and actually cheer. No, I said that last time
So confused no he came out last time I think he's winning yet his own hand like this way and I said, oh, no
It's happening again. It's happening again. I can tell I can tell he went on up there make it on that noise
I'm gonna pick up. I knew it's gonna go bad. I can tell
Listen, I told you I was a great
I hope you guys come and join us for the world championship. We got a lot of rock league to play before we get there folks
There's probably got like the bracket making sure that ever that all the matchups are locked in place and are that the right team is
Seated in the right spot
So we'll show you the bracket here as soon as we've got it for the final three days. Yeah, we got speed this up
Prodiction because it's hot up here. I'm sweating. I'm sorry. He's out of cast you guys make me cast
Well, I mean while we're waiting folks
Don't forget to make sure you've got your twitch counting to your epic account and you've got the drop rush to set up
So you're getting the decal and also go by the Paris major bundle folks all the money from it goes to supporting the prize pool
They've done a fitting
Bonus enough the prize pool here at the Paris major. What is decal you get this one for free if I have to pay for it

Just buy the bundle buy the bundle how you go to the shop you pay for it with the credits. Yeah, no, they can I can't
But I can't because there's a bunch of there's a lot incredible news for you. There's like 20. Oh, you're saying I can log in over here
That's 200 IQ by you.
I like that.
I like more like 100 IQ.
That's actually quite brilliant.
Why are we waiting so long?
Because we're waiting for the bracket.
We're going below the hilarious here.
They also have to figure out the schedule.
Which matches are first, which ones aren't.
The match just ended.
I did not know we were doing a first-putt podcast.
Well, here we are.
That's just our host.
We get ready to finish out the day.
We talk to group stage wave.
Tell me, what team really stood out the most to you today?
I mean, for me, it was the twisted minds.
They coming back, coming off of that loss they had yesterday.
They're getting game five shop fire,
but again, that was their third game five loss on land in a row here.
They had such a brutal performance of Boston.
I really wanted all to finally get that sweep,
that brutal sweep over ninjas and pajamas like that
and clinch their spot in the groups.
I mean, do you like twisted minds as well?
No, I was going to say, I like the greatest fourth place team
we've ever had in our CS history.
TSM, I like that too, showing up today with the team plays, just having top 5 with just their plays, they were fantastic.
But the reason why I wanted to ask that too, because who did you have winning, Givet?
Oh, I had NRG.
Okay, so I think it's NRG, I think for the majority of teams that people picked to win, they didn't win their group.
Hmm, so yours did, Karmen Corp.
Corbin Jay, I think we're the only two teams that like people pick that one their group. Uh, Jeremy picked Shopify. Oh
Yeah, that's well, I think man sitting because I did not expect that to happen
That's exactly that's exactly what I want to pick them. Hey folks, let's take a look at the bracket
This is what we're gonna be playing here the playoffs the Paris major. We had 16 teams
We've now got 12 for them get a buy to Saturday the rest have to battle in the lower
So Garmin Corp will take on the gentlemates and man city will take on rebellion first thing Saturday morning tomorrow
Though we will have four matches and it will be fury versus NRG
Twisted minds versus foot e-sports
NIP versus team vitality and made in Brazil will take on the boys from space station gaming
Wow a few hot matches here
You were talking about that fury versus NRG record dates fury is gonna have to find a way to change history
They are they're gonna have to really dig deep. They usually like I said, Jan does not beat atomic or savvue
They've had a good record against them made in Brazil SSG and I beat by tallities interest a little right where the western Hemmer
So you're here north America south America. Yeah, if you're here, then we got space station made in Brazil. It's gonna be fun
We'll see my tallity congratulations on the city finals. I'm looking at this right now the way is gonna end up
I think they're going straight to the honestly
I feel bad for Europe though. They have three teams in the top four. They have two teams in the lower bracket
And they have to play guys guys if vitality is able to take care of the struggling ninja pajamas
And SSG is able to win what feels like should be a favorite match of a campaign Brazil
We get vitality versus SSG round two. I want to see it happen again
The revenge match the blood match those guys do
That'll be that'll be a spicy one on Saturday
There's been a lot of spice matches left from here and the crowd is going to be amazing,
which is going to just electrify everything for sure.
Well, folks, here are the matches.
We're going to play tomorrow.
It's only for best of sevens, but they are best of sevens.
So hopefully we'll see sovereign heights finally and we'll be a little bit longer matches
than today.
We'll kick things off with space station versus made in Brazil.
The area will have to find the win against NRG twisted minds.
If you continue the domination or do they against Justin and the boys footy sports back on
the pitch and ninjas of pajamas for steam vitality will close out the day.
Only one only one French team over here on the stream tomorrow to the fans.
They might they might start trickling in a little late.
Yeah, we figured vitality would be last versus ninjas and pajamas, but
a twist of mine is getting a little bit of a premier match up over NRG.
I thought energy might be match three.
Well, they got the monkey move.
They're looking for twist of mines as well.
That you know what reminds you are very smart.

I want to try and experiment.
Alright.
To help you unbecome your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League.
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
OK.
With a car.
What, do I hang my feet outside the window?
No, not your car.
But you said think of it.
It's a video game.
Oh, OK, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
No.
I got to blow in the cartridge.
Again, no cartridge, but you'll need a username.
Username, huh?
How about Keith underscore 9914?
the bathroom coat? That's the only number I can kind of remember easily so.
to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, motion for life.
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Can you see it?
Ah
Stay there
I was all alone
And you showed up under my breath
And I was set to fucking call home
I do the girl from the movie.
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
The rest of the day is from now on.
The hour of death takes us through the floor from here.
The day of death is from now on.
The hour of death takes us through the floor from here.
