You're gonna let it show, you're gonna let it show
I
I
I
Think I need to convince
So you in the red dress I can't seem to understand
All that fun is
Still be running circles
Inside my head
Was it love?
I found you instead
I
I
I'm down with these two dudes
These two dudes are too fat
These two dudes are too fat
These two dudes
I see titties on your staff
way to the streets
of family
and I don't have
any riches
but when I kiss you
I lift it well
And I don't have expectations
But when my daydream I fall asleep
And I have spent
I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
It's alright, I'm just easy
But I had to believe me
When I touched your chest
I don't know
How it ends
It's not easy
And I don't have
Any impression
Oh, I'm gonna kiss your hand
I'm dancing around
And you don't have
Expectation
Oh, I'm gonna touch your hand
I'm dancing around
For years, one nation has set the standard for our great sport.
France has been home to many of the greatest minds and talents we've ever seen.
When we brought the best of the best to the United States, they came.
When we came across to Germany, they saw.
And when we returned to Texas, they conquered again and again.
The story of French Rocket League is what a rich history and unparalleled success.
And now we bring the greatest players in the world to the very heart of our universe.
The names of the shoe, welcome to La Decauxerita.
And welcome to the Paris Major.
The fans around the world welcome to day one of the playoffs of the Paris Major 12 of the
best Rocket League teams ever.
Grace Godgreen are in the building and they're going to take that stage to try and battle
out to become Paris major champions.
This is the final and most spectacular stuff on the road to the world championship.
And boy howdy has it been exciting already Gibbs.
Yeah, we saw those groups.
started heating up a bit, but now we're really heating up as you saw that pyro go off. We're
ready for some great rock league for the next three days. I'm about to jump out of my chair
with that pyro. I'm getting a satchel coming in. I mean, I just felt chill. I'm really
fun out here. Everybody have a great time. I'm really excited. I'm excited too. We started
with 16 teams here two days ago. Four have made their exit at the Paris major coming from all
corners of the globe. RAP Sports, wild card, TSM and five fears. Thank you for
playing the Paris Major. Their stories have ended here. OCE, APEC and SSA have
made their exits. The Middle East has one representative. South America, though, as
well, they still got two. Fury was on their last life yesterday, won three in a
row to get here, and that's what it's all about, the experience. We are now up to
best of sevens, and Sovereign Heights is on the table. We might see it today,
Bates. We probably aren't going to see it today. I can basically guarantee you
dead. I hope I'm getting five. We have four matches. One of them is going to happen. At
least the five. That much is certain. I love the manfield. That's what I'm excited about.
We've seen that many times already. I just like that.
He gets the big stage. He's like, yeah, he's about it again. 36 points on the line as well
as $102,000 to the team that takes the top spot. We are already into the top 12 there.
Everyone on the stage guaranteed 9,006 points already for what they've accomplished here
in Paris and they've accomplished it through grit, sweat, determination and some mind-blowing
mechanics.
These are the top plays from yesterday folks presented by progressive fates.
What you got for me?
Listen, I got some people plays.
You got 10 of them to be exact because you know, we always have great rock league athletes
over here in coming out of impact.
Oh baby.
He is the catalyst of fate.
That was the time, the game yesterday is actually the sensation of play from Catalan.
Off the path from Spinks and is bringing all the way back down against GM.
See if that went in the- in the winning game for him, I mean, come on now, you guys are expecting that.
That's how it's played right there.
Going in at number nine, Zax is bringing down Lord.
I like to mix up my top 10s because everybody just likes you, you know, they just play the same exact things.
You got a couple of them, I think sometimes.
It's a mental game too, Lost is on the tack and Lost is on the loss.
Feria, where are they going, Jorbey?
Lost to Zax, they're going somewhere.
They're going somewhere, that's Zax what's happening.
Coming in at number eight, LJ reset.
First off, we got a rule one, a good first killer catalyst of Maxon over here on the left-hand side.
That's what you want to see, but then over here on the right hand side, you get okay
This would be up a little higher, but unfortunately they're already up on the one so of course
They must have to reset double right there
So big up from LJ and they even if they weren't up by so much in this game and maybe just maybe I would put his little higher
So he got a natural shot right here coming up out of the league. Oh my goodness. What do you think?
I think your map respect to Catalyst them walking in with first kill. He took out the best player, right?
You got what you got to do is trying to come back to down 5-1. Exactly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it didn't work out. It didn't work out. They already down by four anyway, so it didn't matter.
Now come on here, come on here, number seven. The duo I'd like to call the Twins. The Twins, I'm not talking about the meanest boys, I don't know why.
I'm talking about Zach in a reveal, but something about these guys, I'm a synergy. Zach brings about nine-zero seconds against Barri, and what is going on?
Barri and Dormie, they're getting clipped on every single one of these clipped.
I mean, I've been watching for too many years, Barri, but how many billion are you getting beaten out of if you put him in this top-place list?
Well, man, listen, tell Ferries to play some better defense.
Goin' at number six, of course.
You gotta goin' up to the man upstairs,
the big man from France, the world champion, of course.
Then down 0-2 against what he got,
they couldn't have it reset.
Into the must, there's a 1v3,
he's been doin' it since his debut,
all the way back in Boston in 2023.
And it's just a beautiful play from Zed.
You'll see more of him in this top 10.
Goin' at number five, though,
5-0-5 from the clock and overtime.
Shinto makes your reign and major champions,
Nas, the brain and age of MVP.
All the way across the map, 1v3.
He's a 1v3 merchant.
He's just showing you how it's done.
That's over time.
It's a little less.
505 and OT.
That's exactly what you expect out of Major in APF.
Of course, listen, you're probably
worth the man's city.
Oh, his back flip.
His back flip.
He's a little too slow.
NRG, oh no, they go.
The NRG takedown are him.
Exotic lucky move.
They love playing this squad.
They're comfortable in that.
He's got all the confidence in the project.
Great safety.
He didn't mean to get that initial touch back with that.
He just innovates.
And he makes the play happen at number three.
And so man, he's been playing for at least a decade now.
We're celebrating playing in Paris.
And Justin's been playing for a long time.
But the two don't on this plate with a reset.
Who said the old man can't play?
It's K-Dot's birthday shot.
The K-Dot, K-Dot not playing at this level at the moment.
Though Justin still is.
That shows how great Justin is.
And then of course at number two,
Zen down 0-2 against Foot in this same game.
Where Justin had that play.
He's got to make something happen.
It just feels like when the moment's there, when the lights are the brightest, then always makes the play happen.
It's beautiful. Execution, of course.
A little bit of a home-over there.
Hey, that's it. It's a great play.
And then number one, man. Listen, there's something special about this play.
Trust me, you'll see it.
Because somewhere, somehow, none of us actually saw this angle how to save happens.
Jesus, that was a gore! On that shot.
But then, of course, we also got something special for y'all.
for y'all. He got an actual flip. He ended up himself flicking production. The script
right as Gibbs was playing. Oh no! Get back to the game! You heard the remark, go back,
go back. We still got to get it played. Your script is a little off right there. That's
the rest of the top team. It was such a good shot. Even production was like, yep, that
one's in. We can cut away from this one right now. But now she's had other ideas, folks.
Those are your top plays from yesterday. Let's see what we get today. I'm excited about it.
Now, yesterday's action, those goals were spectacular,
but it didn't necessarily give you a good idea
of how the matches went, particularly.
We can't cover all the action,
because two people, we played like 12 matches of rock
at League yesterday across two different broadcasts,
but there's two matches in particular here, Jordan.
I think if we were to go back and tell people to rewatch,
vitality versus foot e-sports,
we saw like three clips in the top 10 there,
Sen versus Justin won a clash at once.
That sentence is insane to say.
Literally, old era prodigy versus the new era prodigy,
with the way we talked about both these players
and Justin playing it as high of a level as he ever has.
And these two were just going back and forth.
But that's not to discredit their teammates.
Chronic also played excellently on foot.
But I mean, he's been playing better and better.
It's just, I mean, Vitality were insane in this overtime.
They found a way to lock it in despite some close ones.
T-Bates.
Listen, that's not what I mean.
That was the purpose.
Mars, who regressed, was going versus Lightning Queen.
That's what it felt like.
They're just trying to go on and on.
But before it's like, how did they come out on top right there?
Unfortunately, Double Commitment from Foot East Force play the great series.
They still have a chance going to practice today, but they got to go
against us with their minds off.
So is Justin moving into a coaching career here pretty soon?
Well, he couldn't. Please, no, I don't know.
I think he still has enough to take.
We're not quite that part of the movie yet.
He'll know.
Right.
We're a little early on.
We'll see.
We got to talk about the last match of the day, though.
R8 gets the first two wins and then Furious storms back in a reverse sweep to stay alive in the playoff.
It really felt like skill versus experience. We'll see a lot of great goals by R8 showing off their mechanical
plays because we know they can do that. They're from Nina. They deserve to be here,
but it was just a little bit too late. Furia goes down in two,
then finally that experience kicks in. But you can see how good R8 can be at times,
But it didn't matter because experience wins out.
You know, lost in the first half of the series,
it really lost for the last year and a half.
It's not looked like he did when he first stormed
onto the scene and his first lands.
I don't know if he like adjusted his glasses or something.
I can see the monitor better.
But those back two games, he looked like that old player
that first came onto the scene.
It was incredible yesterday.
They're going to need that today.
It was an incredible moment.
Now, I will say, those are the two series
we're going to highlight, which is insane
because the reigning world champions of Rocket League got swept by the European Five Seat and we didn't even show it here.
We have the Ratatouille Bundle in the shop, folks. This is your Let Them Cook moment, and it's going to be all about Man City's defenses.
They managed to sweep energy.
Man City was all about protecting your back corner boost versus Energy, because that's what they wanted you to play offense and take your corners.
Well, Energy, they only got 10 boosts per game when they usually average around 14.
So Man City protecting their boots very well and the number two defense in this entire tournament only given up point nine goals for game
Who it includes against other team where energy always for two in game one never scored again?
That's crazy
Not me that that's not no one expected it. I know everyone came in. I think a lot of us actually had
Fury a beating man city at the very start of this tournament then man city beat them
And I think a lot of us picked against man city again
What are you doing? Man City are winning games.
They go up leading this team, but Espy is the biggest surprise of this.
Oh yeah.
He's been playing insane.
I'll say that there's been a few European teams over the last few years that we've just
picked against the entire tournament up until the moment they won the whole thing.
And maybe Man City is going to do it again.
They already beat Muffer Bracken here.
They have a match against Rebellion coming up tomorrow.
First thing tomorrow, by the way, important for all the fans in the building and in the arena to know.
Karmicorps versus Gentlemates match number one of the day.
You will want to be here first thing in the morning
to watch the blue wall take on the green suits there.
But we're going to be playing those bottom four matches
here today.
That's going to be wild because our pre-show,
we won't be able to hear each other because the crowd is
going to be going nuts.
But today is going to be a lot of fun.
A lot of these teams want to make their mark in this bracket
and begin that lower bracket run.
Now, one award we are tracking, or I guess three awards
we are tracking across the course of all majors,
All land events for the 2026 season are the progressive accolades give it out to the best striker best playmaker and best
Savior of the season these awards will be given out after the world champion is crowned in September
But here's what the standings are right now. Yeah, we have NASA obviously number one goals for him
A lot of that was because of that Boston major when he put up some crazy numbers
But HB looking fantastic throughout this tournament
This is the first one he's at and playmaking and also the savior as well
That is good company to be sitting in on that playmaker monkey movie smoke sack
He got beating all of them there. That is great company to be in if you're actually we were highlighting the man city defense
I don't be content there all three players are in the running for savior of the season there
So they're doing good work right now. We're gonna see them play again tomorrow. They get that they off
They've earned it here folks
So we have the world championship coming up
But there's a couple different ways that the world of rocket league competes one of those ways was the FIFA e-turn that we had a little bit earlier
earlier this year, teams competing locally, national teams.
You had to be from the nation you were representing.
Team France came out up on top there.
It's pretty impressive stuff.
And we, for the first time in here,
but it's have them all in the building at the same time
in front of Rockleys fans.
That's not wrong.
So I think that's FIFA.
Oh, wait.
That's something special.
They also earned that team.
If you remember that USA versus France
matches, it was final.
That was good.
That gap was one of the best matches for Rockleys
that I've ever watched.
The level that both teams displayed,
simply sensation and it's just different when you're playing for your country for
like your fans because everyone no matter who the fans are here for mates
for k-corp it doesn't matter they're all gonna root for those three boys when
they're in FIFA E and they showed what they're made of and got that win it's
special we have the French team in front of the French fans the FIFA E world
champions
The moment where the drapotricolors rise, the moment where the Marseillaise is re-tortured,
it is the precise moment where the rivalries fall, where the individual is faced and
passes for the glory of the people.
It was a dream, the one to rise to the top, a dream, the one to represent the whole
country.
The dream of becoming the best nation in the world.
The fortress will shine.
The light of genius.
The prodigy of the gods.
Guided by the spirit of Ferran, this dream has become our reality.
This trophy is for France.
This trophy is for you.
French, French, welcome your world champions!
Ladies and gentlemen, the champions of the Kutemonde FIFA E-2026 with Coach Farah, Juicy, Zed and Vatera!
Look at the crowd!
I like the hardware, it looks good.
This is loud.
We're doing a good job right now.
I want to talk to you guys about that win
because this must have meant a lot to you,
representing France.
Zenn, I want to start with you then.
You know, when the team came together,
it feels like to all of us,
it was the Jareem team for Rocket League in general.
Did the team meet your expectations you won?
How happy were you playing with these guys?
Zenn, when we did this team in France,
we were a little bit worried about the Dream Team
that had been built up.
And did you finally manage to wait
for what you wanted at the moment
when this Dream Team was created?
And what do you think about having won with Stéphane de France?
Yes, I'm very happy to have won with Ferra, Vatira and Jussi.
I think Ferra is an excellent coach.
And Vatira is perhaps the smallest player, I think, now, apart from Monkimune.
But Jussi is also very strong.
And we just had an objective, it was to be in the corner.
And I think we did a great job of doing it.
We got an objective, it was to clean up the tournament.
I think we did it because Ferro was such a good coach.
Maybe Vachera is one of the most title players, maybe if you don't come on Kimoon.
And Juicy is so strong, so we did it and we are so proud about it.
I love the crowd already.
But Tira, speaking of, the French pride is something else.
And we've seen it shine through Rocket League.
Can you speak to me what it means to be proud to be French?
What does it mean for you?
For me, it means a lot to me. It's a French honor to play for the French team.
I have an incredible team. We have incredible supporters.
We see it here in Paris. The room is huge.
And I hope you'll make some noise because it's going to be incredible.
Juicy, when you first started playing, did you ever imagine you would be here representing and winning four France and playing in the same facilities as some of the best football players ever?
Can you imagine that one day you represent the French team, that you play at Clare Fontaine, that you are playing in the same places where Zizou played at Mbappé? What does it mean for you?
It's an honour to be represented in the French national team.
You can see it in the crowd, it's a pleasure to be here.
Like Gilles Vatira, it's a great sound for Stephen because it's going to be the best in the world.
He said he makes some noise because this event will be the best in the world and of course playing at the front end is the same facilities of the pro players.
It's so insane for us. I can't believe but so proud to represent France and to play for this FIFA World Cup.
And of course the backbones of the squad.
Vera, I have to ask you how cool was it to try and piece together players from different teams and different play styles to showcase and represent the best of France?
What did it do for you to have to put end to end this dream team and have tried to find the style of the game that they will put together?
There was no more the dynamic of which team, which mercato, etc. You had the free blood to make this team.
What did it give you? Are you proud of what you have been able to do?
It's always an interesting experience, but well, to be honest, in France we have the best players in the world, so it's not complicated to win with them.
easy wisdom it's sure well guys let's keep that energy going one more time for
your 50th world champion
the team has accomplished and as professional as team for
representing the says even eat world champions and now they get to go back
Take off the French jerseys, put on different teams jerseys, and potentially play against each other in this bracket here.
It's absolutely wild and any team that has to play against any of these French players knows.
There's a huge home field advantage for these guys right now.
All I'm saying is that the season right now I feel the energy. I can feel the crowd, my bones right now.
The chance of this going, they're going nuts out there for their reps that won the World Cup and maybe even more here.
But you got that it's such a double-edged short here base.
It's a home field advantage, but it's also a home field burden.
This is a weight they feel the expectation and the desire
of all the fans to win.
And that is something they have to balance with the gameplay
that they don't have to balance with other places.
Yeah, it is something that everybody has to balance with.
I will say they had a little taste of them,
taste of it, and Lyon might be better this time around.
We'll see, maybe.
Experience does seem to matter.
We were talking about that a little bit earlier.
Folks, if you enjoy watching Rocket League
and have fans and family and friends that maybe
don't watch video games as much here.
Check out the RLCS crowd cam.
Pushup TV slash RLE Sports keeps the camera locked
to the sidelines, more similar to a traditional sports viewing
experience.
Great way to get new people into the greatest
esport of all time here, folks.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
We'll have both broadcasts live all day.
So that is what's happening over there.
Pushup TV, RLE Sports here is our bracket for the day.
We will play those up around two matches tomorrow.
So those teams get a break here.
Juicy and body do get to just walk off the stage.
Your Zen has to go back and put on his vitality jersey
because he has a match against Ninjas in pajamas
coming up here at the end of the day.
We will play those four matches today
with more matches happening tomorrow
and on Championship Sunday.
So I sell you Ninja pajamas vitality.
That will be our final match of the day,
the Europe versus Europe matchup.
Before that, we'll see twisted minds
take on foot eSports.
Justin can try and bounce back there.
Monkey Moon also more French players on the stage
front of the French fans there.
Furia, you earned this spot in the playoffs.
You get to take on the reigning world champs.
NRG out of the fire into the frying pan for Furia there.
And we'll see, though, NRG's left a little bit on the table.
We'll talk about it more before that match to kick things off,
though.
South America, two teams in the building made in Brazil
going to be taking the stage first against a station game.
I know SSG is a very tactical team.
They love to get up.
They love to get physical.
Made in Brazil, they play slow.
It's not South American.
It's more South American. Take it nice and slow it's time folks. You've been waiting. Let's get the first teams on the stage for day one of the playoffs
Oh
A huge task ahead of made in Brazil. This is a team that has struggled on land in the
group stage. Their only wins on land in the group stage are against APAC and SSA. Their
defense has been immaculate but their offense has been the story that has kept them out
of the limelight. Their offense has to be on point if they have hopes of moving on in
this tournament. But it was a huge task at the beginning of the season as well.
This has been dominated by fury and team secret for the last two years running.
And what did many Brazil do? They didn't squeak in.
They got the Sam number one seed. They are now the new kings of South America.
And they want to show it on the stage. Listen,
they need to show it on the stage because we've already seen teams from
their specific regions already in particular. Play well.
I don't say comment, but play well within a region and come on land.
And they kind of lacked luster.
Made it for themselves, kind of in that conversation
at the moment, but they went up against NRG.
They got outshot by about 20 shots.
They weren't playing any offense whatsoever.
Their deepers was fine.
It's still went to five, but you've
got to be able to put the ball away.
Anyone that do get on offense, they're
only scoring one and a half goals a game.
That is not going to get it done.
You have to play complementary rocket
league in the playoff stage.
And for me, I've liked what I've seen from Astro.
He's the facilitator of this team.
He creates the opportunities in the midfield.
and he has to find those opportunities here today.
It's gonna be a big challenge.
They are the number three team time spent on defense.
They need to get out of their own half.
They need to win the midfield challenges,
see if they can do it here.
But it's gonna be tough to ask
if the space station would reveal hunting.
Exactly, and you pick up the midfield,
gives raise pool and usually spends the most amount of time
in the midfield, pour down somewhere between 35 to 40%
from series.
He's the one that's trying to kind of take space up
so then they can get out of defense
in order to set a place.
And then we have a show say, where's he at?
Oh, we show him the crowd down this bus and this them.
He's the big man in the back holding it down for the boys.
Yes, he is.
Made in Brazil's on the stage there, ready to go.
Let's welcome their opponents.
And their opponent on the orange side representing North
America.
Zach is back on land, and he's got Zach up with space
Basic gaming!
F!
F!
G!
I
Do kids on the blog in North America, but trust me they're cool comic collected you saw the walkout Zach
He's already pushing up now. We're switching the crowd. He's saying we're ready for this moment
I had a little bit of orwalking in boys. I kind of like that
Gotta love the boxing that these kids bring to the stage and I just love watching these guys play
They are so fun to watch with Zach back on this team. It's just giving them a new flair a little new life
And you can't help but get excited watching it feels like the old days when common Reddolls were going for demo space station number two in
demos and then they will trash talk you while you're respawning
Space station gaming so much high hopes on them even enter it this year. I believe it was juicy and hot takes
Said space station gaming would win the world championship
It was a little up and down but then Zach was unfrozen he thought out
He came back to the team and now space station is right where they want to be
Yes, she's looking good right now
They've already gone up against fury already at the Paris major beat him three once that they've already taken out the
Sam number two not anyone take out the Sam number one and in doing so they demo reveal alone at 11 demos in that
set when he takes the most total Brazil G in that series and he's got a lot of
targets again made in Brazil spends most of their time on their half reveal is
going to be hunted all serious long yeah I mean we saw how much that hurt
fury up but we'll see if my BR can handle it I don't know Zach he's down the
field all the time this kid's got the mix but he can do everything hope that I see
up like reveal does with the devils but pass it to his teammates that kid is an
all-round threat but we all is they're talking about these players this way and
And we're talking about their online game play.
Look at the best relaying result here for all of them.
The best they've done is top 12.
When it comes to getting on the stage
and playing the way they play online,
it's never quite added up for them.
Is it different this time around?
That's been the question, Marford.
He asked for so long, 1v1s.
He's one of the best in the world.
But then when it came to 3v3, just wasn't figuring out.
It seems like they have figured it out.
It seems like they're very confident.
They are definitely huge favorites in this match,
but that doesn't matter now.
Now you're in front of the crowd,
the nerves you made all the time high from both teams,
10th space station handling.
They record 0-0 as soon as you get in front of the crowd.
I do think Diaz is a not a big question,
but a big decider and who takes this match
is just going to have to be short on the back end
for space station.
I love playing aggressive,
but you still need someone consistent on the back
and they get a lot of faith to Diaz to make sure they're safe.
Exactly, and SSG, they're coming up a series yesterday
was a beat down by the main major champions.
They only shot the ball days in SSG 13 times.
You want to know how many times
general made shot the ball 38 times.
And SSG was still getting the demos.
It's the night that you made for just that great.
I want to actually triple.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's actually that much better.
I know it might be hard to have a show
to Joe Mace level, but that is give you
does give you a little cause for concern for SSG.
They weren't getting their usual type of pressure.
It is then it's actually result
in any type of real offensive threats.
Here's the thing, MIBR had close series against good teams.
They couldn't finish.
Part of the reason they couldn't finish
really isn't anything like play style-wise,
or they're doing something wrong.
To me, pure fundamental touch quality.
Raise bullet times would be locked in mechanically.
And then all of a sudden, the touches
just started leaking out from MIBR,
and they stopped being able to possess the ball.
If they can just protect the ball,
have good, solid fundamental rock,
they have a chance in this series.
I feel like that's, I feel you could say
The exact same sentence about the space station players like this is a team that when they're at their peak
They are at the hottest newest thing on the block. They are so good and yet the consistency
Well, especially on land just not quite there
I mean if if NRG is inevitable if NRG is an immovable object space station gaming is a flamethrower like it's just like there
It's just crazy torch of
Brilliance, but then it can go out it can go in different great. We don't know what's happening with this team
Where are they going? Why I will never forget hearing their coach ex fear when they were playing their first lane in
Wally taking on I think it was like some like OZ five-seater something like that
feeling dude you're ten times better than these guys and they lost that match
he was trying to encourage them ladies you know how good they are can they
settle down get out the ice chill out a little bit which team is able to clutch
up and settle down on the state will be the team that wins this match we get
Zach versus Asher and I gotta say Zach's been the split 2 MVP of all of North
America fantastic a little bit low on the goal so far throughout this but
But that's because they had a run into Mates as well, where they couldn't get a lot done.
But Astro, they have three catalysts on the scene to pull off the subset.
Yeah, absolutely.
Astro, he was the one setting up the offense when MIBR had offense on this land,
even in those close matches that they had earlier in the tournament.
Just unable to get over the hump.
Getting over the hump is the story for MIBR.
It's going to be so interesting, because we know that made in Brazil is going to play defense.
They have to avoid the demos.
So if you avoid the demos and if you have boost, you can counter attack.
That is what you have to do against Spacestation.
Spacestation loves to send one up,
and they're like, we'll play defense with only two players,
maybe even just one player.
Oh, they can do that.
They can do that all the time.
Yes, but they can do that if Made in Brazil has no boost.
If Made in Brazil has two members with boost in a 2v1,
that's where they can capitalize.
Only three teams have played against Man City in this event.
Only one of them has gotten a game win off of Man City,
and it's Made in Brazil.
Made in Brazil took NRG to game five,
forced them to beat him on Champions Field.
If you want to talk about results, you're just looking at the numbers right now.
Made in Brazil had a good tournament.
And listen, that's what great defense gives you.
It gives you a chance.
That's right.
If you need to play complimentary rocket league, it will get you through the group stage.
You'll survive group stage without your offense, though.
This is where your tournament ends.
Well, it sounds like you made some predictions.
I'm just not saying that they don't get the offense.
That's where their tournament ends.
Well, listen, I think that, I mean, in that set against Man City, they are leading.
I don't know.
They're leading after every almost every single game up to game number four.
They can have the lead game.
One game, two games, three games.
They let the lead slip away against two games, three games, seven games, seven
times had to have a lead.
And they kept letting it slip away.
So then, honestly, they kind of need to take a page on a man city book.
Man city, what they do and what Seiko team do so great.
Well, his tenure is that when he gets up one zero, you can't score on them anymore.
That's what in my VR, if they want to play this slower defensive style,
that's what they should have been working on last night.
And that's what you're kind of going to want to expect.
But I do expect them to come out hot,
try to score early, and they kind of sit back.
SSG will keep coming.
But the key is you can't play slow defense.
You have to play quick rotation defense,
because when a team is trying to demo,
they love slow rotations, because it's so much easier
to hit the cars.
But if you're doing quick rotations of defense
and bringing everyone through, it's
so much more difficult to find any defender to actually demo.
Jeff, we've set it up from every direction you possibly can.
Let us know who you think is going to win and progressive fan but we'll make our picks
up here on the desk.
I'm not going to lie.
I through this conversation, my pick that I have on the paper has changed, but I'm going
to stick with the pick that's on paper.
But we'll talk about that when we get there.
Jorby, who's your pick?
Well, I made my pick before we even got to the arena today.
And I just don't think it's going to change for me.
I have been very impressed with space station gaming.
I don't think this is the same land team from previous lands.
They look different.
They look better.
They're on line split.
This split looks way better than any of their other online splits.
I believe this team has the makings to go far in this tournament.
I got the PlayStation.
I think it comes down to nerves, and if Zach can handle them,
because you know, he's back, and maybe that could be a question mark.
I think he will handle them.
I think he's going to be one of those all-time greats in North America.
He gets here with a big win.
I'm going to space it.
I mean, I just think offensive pressure, Trump's defense,
more times than not, and with that, I think it's pretty clear I'm going.
SSG all the way, baby.
SSG is the pick I made on paper.
I'm going to stick with SSG here, but I will say,
Made in Brazil so far with the opponents they've had they've had better results
throughout the course this tournament and I think the most experienced player on
the stage is Razeball and he's on that side there so I'm gonna go I'm sick with SSG for
the prediction here but I do think made in Brazil probably I should be able to do it.
How's the coin feel about it gonna go complete sweep complete sweep here SSG
for the coin as well we're close well we're close to the match starting here
we're not close on the desk though yeah we're not close I assume the boat also
will go. Space stations may get really it feels like midfield. You have to win
midfield here. I really think like like at my VR they can't do it. I see to see
it. I need to see them actually do it. Play complimentary rocket league and I'll
start believing in you. They're so close but I need to see it. They're all one of
the most storied organizations in rocket league history. Space station gaming
has been with us for so long and they have built up a fan base here that wants
to see them win and how cool would it be to see them get the first win here in
front of the crowd at the Paris Major folks. I hope you're ready. Get up and
get out his game deck everybody says they want to be a major champion sound
familiar it's true and any player that would walk up on that stage with the
hopes of lifting the trophy on Sunday I suggest you prepare yourself because to
claim this symbol of greatness you're gonna be in for the fight of your life
This weekend we will make history on and off the pitch and it kicks off with a battle of the Americas!
Made in Brazil, looks to spoil SSG's land reunion!
This is the grandest major of them all!
This is where champions become immortal!
And this is Rocket Saloon!
The production has been amazing, the predictions are so heavy later on, of SFG to kick us off,
The arena is putting up by the second and MIBR are up against the Alts here, against North America.
They've not got a great history, but the South Americans, they're currently 6 and 25 versus NA online these players overall.
And SSG, they've done pretty well, they've won near enough every single match.
And Diaz, where SSG takes just 11 seconds to put the hammer down.
Space Nation gave me a decent claim to the North America's best scene, especially of what happened to NRG yesterday against Man City, and they are continuing to improve upon that momentum.
What a start again for these three young players who are already fighting their feet at the moment.
It's that land return for these boys, and exacts for Sergeants as well.
Coming back with a rebrand and then immediately smashing it has been a dream to watch.
Steve Reborn from Skrubble,
Brasen Lund and Midfield gets kicked by Zach.
The immediate shot from Reville saved by a strongman.
Sounds good to go over here.
P.S. here on the side wall.
Asteroid gets across the backboard.
Small good pressure here from the space station game.
He just 40 seconds into this best of seven already.
And they're making a severe statement in this series.
Because that does have some control.
We were talking, well, they were talking on the desk
about how maybe Brazil are going to have to do a plenty of defending.
They are going to have to time go and further on to the front foot
As if when the opportunities allow, but space-engine damage has keep on coming forward, so being as difficult as a feather guest.
When you only look for the defense as well, they'll be off the pretty well on that front, throughout the surrender offense.
They're not either. These are safe from Diaz. They're both at four vertically flat and parasitistically.
They seem to be looking to be in the bottom half of nearly every single category so far, despite the domestic dominance.
And with MIBR, their defense is what sands them out amongst the crowd.
Their offense really has not been in so far this event.
There's going to be a tough challenge.
SSG with the early goal.
It's going to be confidence-inspiring for the American.
Oh, yeah, for Schumelier.
I know how to do some defending, but the side is up into this corner.
Just use that one round the corner, Zach.
There's too much on it.
There's nearly a pop there as well in front of the goal.
They made it Brazil.
They can see the early goals.
The six that they have in full,
they've gone up after that SSG pressure.
Flash across the goal line as well, that's it.
Yeah, they've found their way into this game one.
Yeah, to show that they immediately can see this.
There's a bit of a checking that not being able to build into it on a build,
but in the first two minutes they've only had that long goal against Reveal.
They said they'd be going to pass two defense, they're going to be unable to.
Drop down by Sadres.
Very awesome!
It's their immediate shot!
And Reveal swiped it in!
That is a full power passing play there.
Zack left it for Diaz, fantastic decision yet again for the space station as a
security of these three continues to improve.
I sort of aimed with that reveal's touch, Diaz already sniped it.
Reveal just finished it off, a painful, a complete defensive error.
I don't think he must have thought that Zack was going to go for the ball in the corner.
In the end it gets shot directly towards him, that's now two goals for the good for SSG.
Diaz going to catch this one, a hundred moves still, yet again for space station.
having to pick control of this game.
And her second goal was reward for it.
Made it for Phil, going to have to be incredibly deep at the moment just to get hold of this.
Blastro is pushing it forward.
We've got a second touch as well.
Sad, because these are 50 fingers.
A chance there to pass the wall.
Blastro.
And Neil is reading it.
That's not even over.
It's just running all the way.
And I think it is.
Space Station Gaming.
Thank you very much.
She had to go in.
MIBR sent the kitchen sink and unfortunately she found the blockage revealed.
immediately dives through, D'Az to finish, gets revenge, he gets one back, they now have one assist and one goal lead.
For the other one, really, let's be sure to score them, and they might be half. I think they committed too hard on that.
Yeah, two goals down, in the opening game, a best of seven. Still two and a half minutes left, you don't need to over-commit and panic.
But this is South America's Colourfest team, this is at number one.
And the number two back in Boston has swapped that round with Furious, and they're the same two teams.
They might have continued to improve throughout the season and they've done so by dragging down teams that would have been considered better than them on paper, they have to do the same here in this series.
Like I said, Domestic B, both these teams were fantastic. They were pretty showing off when they were able to face off against their own regions in SSG that does not look like it is slowing down.
They've got a long road through to the final. It is bruising if you don't get first in your group when you look towards the bracket.
But he seems a lot around one want to make sure that this is not their only crown experience you lose here
You are out of the Paris Major
But I sense it forward science be able to do something with this one and keeps it safe
And it was just trying to go back something ahead of game number two will they be capable of doing so I show
He was identified by the desk is being a visible danger man
But that was a fantastic just sort of force the ball forward to space station game and as he can drink for that reveal
gets a bit resistant towards that, could be fall here, depending on the defence.
Side up against Diaz.
Space station getting, not having to do too much to force this.
I think we've got to control the ball we're getting when it slows down for them.
Yeah, control is completely imperative in this series too.
SSG with three goals, they don't need to, they've been crazy.
This is a real go for a flip reset.
Purely defensively in the offensive third.
They know they've got timings play right now
and this is looking like a little bit of a victory lap in game number one.
going along, and Risa is found into the heart.
There he is, and for Diaz to shoot!
Very good in the opening game of the crowd day.
Nice creativity there from the reveal of the plan B.
Wasn't quite on target, and Diaz was pulling up as well.
I mean, Diaz's story, he was this 1v1 player that nobody could harness
and trained to be 3v3.
He's certainly taken the training wheels this split.
And I think that sometimes those players just need a different couple of teammates you need to have somebody who could play around
Such a mechanical player. We've seen a couple of 1v1 players not really transitioned properly over to the 3v3
Mobsi being that main example. He's had a good few goes
It's just gonna really work out for him. The DL's proves it is possible. Here the Nubian players like that
And they really do excel in the 1v1 scene. It's one trickling awkwardly revealed with a five player. Braswell can sink it
the ball, but the China shop does stay intact. I think it makes a difference though for MIBR.
I think that's the sort of goal that they're sort of making bring forwards into game two.
You don't want to be coming into it on the back of a 4-0 smashing. A 4-1 is still a smashing.
Don't get me wrong, but it feels a little bit better. It looks a little bit better.
Just having that momentum and having the last goal scored.
So hopefully, we made it Brazil's safe.
After a save of this as a series, we'll be able to hold out for a few more seconds.
see it again because that would take away all of that positive spiel islands just
the spieling. It's sad. It'll live real well. Thank you I did it D. That's a great quick thing here stuffy. That is gate 1 to space nation.
Pretty good one. Cheeky little floor one for them. Expert chat and two little fellas. So you know what guys? We need to change precisely.
Nothing! Keep on! Keep on keeping up!
Keep on keeping up, boys!
From the MIBR side, like I said, a Sam vs. North America is normally pretty rough on the old numbers,
but just to reiterate, the MIBR players are 6 and 25 vs. North America online.
Astromic has only ever beaten an NA team once online,
fortunately for him, it was superior in everything in North America.
So technically, he's never beaten a North American team online.
Yeah, that's so harsh.
I did it once. I did it once.
It was against my fellow countryman.
But what are you going to do? He's done it once.
I'm sure that's the argument that he will make.
The lawyers involved to say, has he got a game against an North American team or not.
And it seems a long way away based on that first game,
but we have seen some swingy old best of sevens in our time.
We have seen matches in this very tournament where, you know,
our team loses 6-0 in game 2 and ends up winning the series.
The team loses 10-4, well, end up losing our series.
But, you know, they're still getting games, even when some of them are large divides in those five minutes.
So, maybe I've got a lot to change here, I've got a lot to do, but they've got plenty of time in which to do it.
Yeah. And they go to a good and tempo.
I hope they can find a little bit of calm, a little bit of zen.
Are they going to be able to come out with the victory?
Five more minutes. They need to win four games from this point.
Paris Major, they've so far been not the kindest, there has been a surmountable
for them, SSG clearly feeling of that bit more comfortable when it comes to
these land positions, the midfield caught by Stromek up high, there's 40
boosts, he's going to go for the buck, let's rave all in a lovely reset, and then the top of a Stromek, and RVR, and then working from the off in the second.
That's exactly what they needed, fantastic decision-making from him, he is the one that ends up
Getting rewarded with the goal as well.
Razible helping out.
1-0.
What a start to game number two for them.
They have to build upon this.
The card slowed down now.
Space station gaming.
That's the first slight gap in their armor.
Of two MVPR players playing on full aggression,
fully on the front foot.
Such as the best flood enterprise.
They cannot play two offensively against SSG.
That's exactly what SSG want.
This is also what SSG want.
To feel on the ball, he gets over the top nearly of Razible.
but it's a great bot from him towards Astro,
and certainly he made it for those passes of finding each other.
That's going to be that missing link,
making sure that you can use your teammates' nose effectively.
We saw that in that first goal.
Stunning, that's coming right, plays right-time off,
they're setting up Razeball with such perfection.
Sand has been a great player in this land,
they get to get involved in the scoring or in the assisting, in fact.
The reveal of Razeball, BC is that mechanic
that we were saying previously that Diaz has.
Reveal and Zac have them in space, they have been phenomenal.
so far this event.
Master Ted there from Astro, but the defending was too good for space station gaming in the
centre of the pitch, not giving Maydenvizil a second because they know the danger now
that they posed, but baseball slows down that 50-50 to allowing Sam as decent play from
Maydenvizil until forward comes reveal.
He eats Astro, the job's here, raised one on the back wall, he uses all his experience,
where he's headed off America himself over the get, he gets the flip reset, he's getting
stacked, what's going on?
This is end to end stuff right now, something, I'm just taking turns mechanically against
each other.
I'm going to pop it, I'm going to get a reset, and you're going to block me, so we're going to sort of do that like a fourth nine times.
Let's carry on, that's what we are, I think we'll take that with their one little lead.
And this field goes back, it's in long.
The first bar is sad, no dunk is possible.
Some people here lurking, waiting, so that can do it all themselves.
It gets him pretty far, but the life's done.
Doesn't quite need this feeling, so it doesn't come down as fast as he was hoping.
You're not wrong, it is a little bit saviour at this point.
They're taking a chance, getting off victory set, trying to go over their opponents.
I'm desperately looking forward to the first infield pass
or the first edge of a bump.
That's actually what led to the goal from Made in Brazil.
So, look at these players playing.
Tats save here.
The surrounded by there's a beautiful crowd.
I want to pressure moments getting to them
so you fall back on what you know already.
So I want to see the coaches really get in and say,
hey, just a little bit of hope, teams.
I hope these teams, they will really turn down to 11.
Creativity-wise, still wide, everything.
They certainly take that extra step,
but SSG, they're looking a little bit flatter in this game.
That's it in this game, they might be on a bit more shape to, they're more complete.
The last dunk into the corner, the whistle does not go that way, so he's going to have to leave while Romero
tends to do it all himself, he's going to be able to ground pitch the attempt,
Sad has to get it away if that bullet that was incoming.
Yeah, finally space, there she goes, he managed to go under, but maybe Brazil defences that one,
flashes just wide, that's what led to that danger.
A slight change in approach, that's a little high, but here we go, here he's raised,
to get his time to down there is the infield pass, Astro shoots his concierge again
suddenly this game has opened itself up and we're starting to see that very infield desperate for
is that going to be infield now to receive low boost at a reset
lovely angle, drop down, all three have to commit
Reveal sends sand to the shot
that's it, one player essential, that waits and learns going to start good position for him
you see the boost now starts to get stolen
this is how NA likes to play still this bad blues learn for what NLG are so good at
That City were able to do a get-stun to get that win.
SSG, they started to do so now on that bump.
Play off the board, a flake, a safe front, the ass.
And these boots now have been picked back up by MIBR.
Any counter-attack, when they continue to tap Randa,
has to take a sideline.
Yeah, they're in Brazil, I thought they could've done a little bit more there.
They're having the ball again under the SSG players.
They have no follow-up.
SSG were able to regular wait.
That's a touch-up from Astro.
Astro, basically, is waiting.
Does he go in for it? He doesn't, he ends.
He turns into Arthur Buffs, the head of Brazil.
This time, he'll keep the attack going.
Both teams taking turns to sustain their pressure.
The time is beginning to hurry up as far as it's your concern.
Nice free jump there from Ray.
But I love that.
He's sort of covered both grounds.
A high pop for a feet him.
Neither will a low body.
He did pretty straight down.
Really well played.
He just burns up a little bit more time.
Final 40, and the commitment in the middle reveal,
passes it back to Hulu.
Will go to D'Aff.
Our Pice has to wait.
He wants Astro to come in for that next touch.
He does get it and is lovely patient for the MIBR defense.
Yeah, that was nice.
I looked for a second, the raise ball was going to get Astro's way.
But wisely, he was called off and left that ball.
That's the sort of way you can see pitchy towards your own net.
Pretty good on goaling.
Anyway, he got revealed as one, could reset.
It's teammate in front of him.
Time is virtually disappearing now.
Zack into the centre reveal.
Was waiting, changes the speed, but it's saved again.
It's fantastic pass down.
Pixel perfect for him with Diaz now up in the centre.
Zack is lovely on the right wall, wants to pop him in.
But look at this, 3T and D-Fish are scrupping the first wall.
Will fucks it down, the initial offense from SSG.
The second wall for Rafaul.
A prick is taken out, bit into the mid, beats one, but again,
the third layup of the MIBR Barrel, unbeaten, unpenetrable.
Until perhaps, Rafaul gets his reason,
he'll give the second, it comes to us!
It's taken over by Zaddy, goes like Astro!
Has to kill this hole!
And it was your D-Fish!
And it was your G-Fish!
September round to game number one, SSG looking a lot more subdued.
I think MIBR, they were just able to keep their game plan going.
It felt a lot more like we said, more calling of graphs, a lot more, every set time,
you know, I got blocked, oh well.
But they didn't mind, you get the goal and you move on, it doesn't matter.
SSG, they didn't really have much response in that.
And I'm sure the coach actually will be saying exactly that to them.
Like guys, we've got so much creativity, there are so many variations of goals that we can score.
score me for some reason kept going down the middle as you say get a touch
quick reset trying to get open even at the end they were doing the same thing
they weren't going for a late 50 they weren't following up close you know it
was an edgeable buff but eventually was what 15 seconds into that game forced it
through four made it brazil it was the very first time we saw something that
was different to the norm apart from that we were noticing a replay vote pretty much the whole time it was
a big critical both teams because this is the upper echelon of the RCS right now
and all of these players can do more, but credit to MIBR, they got their game, that is the first monkey of their backs.
It's a managed game, that was very well played I think from MIBR, I think maybe SSG just thinking oh, maybe we can win this at a canter.
And I think MIBR are proven boys, we're going to break into a bit of a sprint here and you need to keep up one all in the best of seven.
Looking better for both teams, 3-1 wins, 3-0 and they're going to be moving through the lower quarters.
I mean, South America, we're talking about how
Made in Brazil are their number one team right now,
but it's a region that's been struggling for a little while.
You know, Fury has always been their greatest team
and has come forward in first seed for years at a time, right?
That's not the case this time.
Made in Brazil have served them,
but the region as a whole is seen as a little bit weaker,
a little bit less scary.
They try to bring that fear factor back,
and they have to keep on pushing,
really step to the throttle if they are to do so.
Yeah, for sure.
And we've sort of discussed it a little bit on Dennis
couple of times where you want to see the emerging regions with the incredible play
that they've had historically, you want to see that continue improving. They've lost
their egg, they've lost their toothlessness. A win here would be a massive showing for
not just MIBR, but for South America as a whole. And I misspoke a minute ago, they won't
be going through for the lower quarters, they'll be going through for the lower round two. And
whoever wins this is going to be facing against the winner of Vitality or NIP. So regardless,
a European Titan await to ever emerge.
It'll be exciting wherever happens.
Every matchup has got so much history,
so much storyline attached to it.
The players are just figuring something out in the lobby
for a second, so there'll be a slight delay for about a minute
or so.
So if you need to get a cup of tea, go do so now.
That's a quick cup of tea.
Pop it in the microwave, mate.
Why not?
Oh.
Ha, ha, ha, there.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Make it clear, I do not officially
endorse making a microwave in the tea.
Thank you very much for the tea.
Wow.
I said those words.
You did.
Hardly.
Yeah, yeah, we got that in the end.
Uh, made a result though.
I mean, look at that group, uh, that group run.
I mean, they get that game five against NRG.
Now, that is the test plate they have to bring forward
to this matchup against SSG.
Yeah, I mean, that was the group of theoretical life
for NRG.
Man City are the ones who approach that top spot regardless.
They got a game against City, and we had a little giggle
little giggle when the wave pump was saying that. I think the wave pump who said, these guys,
they did get a game against City. I mean, they were like, cool. Yeah, right. Fair enough.
Like, they should be able to get a bit more City off, get on an incredible tear.
Three owing NRG in Group B was incredible for them. There might be our, they escaped,
mostly sides, as this relatively nervy, slightly cagey start to the crowd day.
Yeah, I feel like, because we're coming off the back of a game like that, that was very
I think this will be a bit of a reset button pushed and hopefully when we go back into it, one of these teams doesn't matter which really says okay, let's fix it. Let's do full-pace, full-power mode for a minute and a half, see what happens. That's what's happening.
Game number three. Will MIBR be able to eat out one more win? Or is it going to be SSG off the rip? I love the kickoff strat from them.
The possession does instead fall to MIBR. Astro, up to this. Just getting middle. Pretty routine.
Says that he's just waiting with nobody threatening. Arisa with reveal getting a demo. A nose-let plays that they will change things.
A miss from Astro, but revealed backwards. Nobody expects the ball to run up there.
Spaceship game, they're looking pretty glitzy.
Well, three of them so far forwards.
One dunk against them, they could have been in trouble,
but they backed themselves in the 50-50 game to not be done.
Good bravery from the young lads.
That's where I saw what's sad here.
Killed out his teammate, Zach.
That's a pull, but Razeball's already up for that one.
So then it was a pick-up boost in the tight between them.
As I say that, though, they're starting to run out.
Right, 100 there for Astro.
He's one of the back wall. Has to get attached on this one,
and does, watches Diaz all the way.
Spaceship gaming makes so far forwards.
This is where they could be damaged on the counter attack.
Yes, that sustained offense.
If you then don't steal just enough boosts
and you burn your fish or early,
you can have that ball flying straight towards your net
on the opposite side.
So the ceiling is drumming.
Is that getting a vital touch?
And a demo in the midfield.
Reveal removes one.
Braves almost get it away from Zack.
Instead he gets Zack away from the ball.
Moves him out in the sky.
Two fits the ball, lad.
The free is sloppy, 15.
so possession turns back over towards MIBR.
They're able to do anything with it.
There's a great contract there from Razeball,
but then he's taken out NA.
What he did do, though, was stop the space station gaming,
stealing that boost,
to launch a sustained period of pressure of their own.
In the end,
that was about 20 seconds later, he's revealed,
he's shooting for Razeball.
Shoot it! It's just about to get it!
Cos he was stretching more than he thought.
It was an amazing little nail.
He had to figure out the post,
and it was a bit of a puckering moment for the boys in blue.
As the MIBR now cornerbound.
That reset central where Sam can take over.
A little bit of confusion I think between a reveal and a dm.
A couple of times they're going to get an awful touch.
A demo midfield from Sam opens things up next to shooting.
It's a strong one. On target, it will be in!
One goal and a gentle cheer from the Brazilian crowd.
Look at the speed of that flick reset.
As to how the whole world's stopping and watching really have tried to get him away.
What's never gonna happen man is a well-worked goal.
It all started as well because they pushed the ball into the corner.
Then they got the 50-50, it changed the angles and there they were from the kickoff.
Here's D'F, gets an over the top of one.
Reveal set, Lorena, Reveal set, my sad.
I love the idea of the inception there from Reveal.
Just make it all, Reveal reads the play.
Now it's gonna be 3v1, Nielsen's in straight back.
Said I do not want to face down Nielsen, thank you very much.
He checked you right back boys.
Sad round one, it's Reveal waiting central hole.
Opportunity for the ceiling, it's up, down, it's up, down.
It's gonna happen, but Diaz has the all-to-land in the goal.
Razor beats Diaz again, and he nearly gets another.
We are near boxhomes away from the second MIBR goal.
Yeah, made it Brazil. They're really starting to surprise
space station gaming now.
Let's get to see almost a double box coming in from Zach.
That would have been a brutal...
I'm gonna see some art from the artist forming over scribbles.
There's Astro, there's that one to the left.
Space station gaming.
Taking that time, one before, it's Astro.
makes the redirect, so it would just be straight to that.
SSG, I think, happy to sign this one down for a sec,
because Made in Brazil had all the momentum in Game 3.
Yes, the momentum is...
I think it's hanging a little bit on the wire.
I think we've seen, you know, there's a couple of chance
of a SFG a bit tighter shooting, a bit more...
Oh!
Oh!
That was easy, yeah!
How did you not just touch onto the hop?
That was as open as it looked, right?
I didn't blink, I didn't miss anything.
I'm pretty heavy, you've got my notes,
Maybe you got a bump out of replay ops.
We need to see that.
Yes.
Give us that in slow moge.
Yeah.
If not, we strike.
We rebel.
Big dude.
Here's reveal.
They have to shake that off quick if it was as easy as it seems.
Zach, it's tackled by Razeball.
Good pressure, Sylvone from the Space Station game.
And they have stepped up.
Since I said their opponents had a little momentum.
Reveal has a hundred moves.
Good catch.
Zach's staying forwards.
It's been a searing their best.
They haven't played in front of all those.
He's got my sand for now.
All three of them down.
All three of them down.
It's Diaz down the centre, it goes through reveal, it's a good one here for Space Station Game, you reveal, Chases that ball, gets the extra punch, should be safe.
Astro has to flip it forwards, touch the payloads,
he's off to get a touch at the moment.
Astro gets something on his DS coming in, but can't quite score.
Tell you what, right now, any defender on MIBR has to keep their wits about them.
They need to have every single set waiting and seeing where SSG are,
because they are getting knocked in no matter where they are in their own back turn.
It is very scary, very tough to get saved.
They're attempting to be there from Astro.
Oh!
I'm gonna save them here.
It's a great demo, he now jumps, Diaz goes low, he's low on boost, everyone's low on boost.
It's a gold mark scramble for all teams after a jump, raised all the way patiently.
They can get the same and you can see another demo from SSG.
The space-saving game, brutalizing the main Brazil,
defends a moment, the MVERR holding firm.
And a defensive team, they're showing us why, they're showing how difficult it is to crack this nut.
Raise ball, turns the fence into a attack now, wants to get the dunk, comes back.
Almost there, it's not even in that second start, it's still walking, the pass is loose!
Up high, Strum reveal, straight for the foul, but what is lurking, Bungley, Racial can take control.
He's going to drive, this is down to the ground, he does so, and overtime, game three!
Maynard for Joe, had the first half, space station gave it over the second, and now they have the kick-offs, well, Racial gets it sideways, loose there, it's Astro,
points it to Zack, bit of a flat one, Zack can take it to the ceiling, Astro, where was the 100th boost, but he pre-flips into that one, gets the second dodge.
Also got a reset. Sort of worked out okay.
The field attempting to beat two here, instead beats none.
The DS has to take full advantage of a lot of moves.
He passes midfield, finds Zag, then beats two himself.
Right now it seems like a matter of time.
We're seeing diving saves from MIBR, but no control is had.
It's exhausting as well to defend like this because you know that one error, one small misplay,
and you walk and see there's no way to defend.
The Astro had no boost there.
It's likely got some height on that floor,
so it's been devastated, but still.
Space issue gaining, keep coming, sad.
Half a touch, boost makes, it's like,
he should save my Razeball!
Finally, Razeball with a corner boost.
Just keep the ball's possession.
That's it, I guess. Good idea.
Slow it down, beats one.
Not quite the second, and it's a demo.
Dias gives 33 boosts to the MIBR offending player.
Oh, missed the boost grab there from Dias,
and beat 1, but he's not gonna be able to go too far on this.
Remember, my fake is to get into the corner,
the brace won't take it high,
and we're seeing again more bumps.
SSG, their physicality is the difference maker
and the boost steels against them, IVR.
It's a high touch, sad wait, either that or it's just that.
Oh, yes!
He can't get any touch, but no one was there to save.
It's like I have no boost,
but he can still get some height on the ball.
Sad has 100, catches it, old score,
flip reset style, gets the bump on the field at the end,
He's going to pull to Astro, tries to push it past that.
Nearly there, but this is made in Brazil's chance, race ball.
Keep this attack going.
No, he's Johnny Wilcox, something of it.
Now, but he's coming, race ball.
He's incensed.
He's a mind.
Oh, come on.
This is the red one with the French, a Buick.
I'm shook of personally.
Surely not.
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Surely not.
I don't speak French, but I do speak Boons.
And that was one of them.
That is the music of your people.
Okay, not sure what's going on there. I've got no idea.
Made in Brazil certainly had more pressure as the game was paused.
We are finding out now just what has happened.
So a little bit of drama here and an all important moment in this series.
That's been my favourite game so far because there's been a flow and a shape to it.
It's not just six players taking turns.
There's been sustained pressure for one team.
Made in Brazil vastly better in that first half.
And then essentially once they got their lead,
How on earth did Made in Brazil keep them out?
Because they were attacking so well, they did put a foot wrong.
But Made in Brazil that they're equal to every block.
I'd love to know the second half boost total for MIBR.
Because they have been under the cosh for so long.
And SS usually seen this corner boost, then bumping on the backboard.
You've seen how important the backboard is to MIBR.
And SSG, they're trying to bump.
And they're being a little bit awkward about it.
They're making sure that when they can get any boost,
they're going to wait up there,
look, they're on low boost.
Cool, I've just got a little bit higher,
so I can then fall on the ball.
and then it used my dodge. It's very well played, very well orchestrated.
The defense from MIBR and space station gaming, they're going into the orchestra with a big old
drum trying to bang it around and kick over their triangle or woodwind or whatever extended
metaphoric instruments I can think of, snapping their flutes in half, and they just keep on
singing cool, though. That beautiful symphony of rock and the e-sports. And we're about to have a
Spritz kicking off one minute and 46 seconds into overtime.
Let's go, takes got a game number three.
Who's it going to be? Who wins the kickoff?
It's going to fall to a negative player.
It's reasonable. It's 100 boost.
This is what he would have dreamed of underneath Diaz.
Under the cover of Spritz.
He nearly never sat safe.
The attempt to tap the spot, not quite working out,
stands into the corner.
Astro jumps back now, devastating in the air.
Arisa, beat, walk, turn.
Let both survive the kick-off scares, so we're back to regulation play.
Diaz has served this time, tries to link it between two of them!
And both of them are involved in the save.
Sander and Asher have to call each other off,
and respite getting each other's way there at a devastating moment.
Not being passed there towards Zack, he's already up, gets into the center,
but again they're there, flashing from the side.
And Bapol defense from Reis, but it's going to take control of this.
Sends it low, stab with that corner-boots, that with nothing.
It has to send a higher reveal.
They must keep control Pops his ceiling bow the stomach now
With a little bit of control and Diaz again a devil they have been dominant on that front
So I can't quite get that done on Zach
It's over top of them some floor play some rare floor play in this series. It's been so aerial based
So I'm gonna keep this one low as well
Maybe something that was a response if they could go with these low fifties
One of these challenges and help each other out raise more he's already in the air
press a link it to a team they're not quite there so they're just waiting for that moment right now waiting to strike
the pythons are emerging but they're all there
let's get that final finish
Two games for Bane in Brazil and Astro above his monitor!
Look what he saw from his teammates there!
Trying position for Astro.
C-Star Garnt says, you know what fellas, let's call this one quits.
I'm done with this OT.
It's sad to me, did not look the likely one to get a play like that in this series so far.
What a pop-up!
It's out of nothing. It's out of absolutely nothing. And when you're at a lab, when you're at a major, it's the ability to conjure something from the most inopportune moments that separates teams that make it far and teams that go out in the lower bracket.
And that was definitely that moment, the double blip reset, the assist of his career, I'm sure.
And Simba finishes for both, up into the left, push it to the right, made it Brazil to take a mistake either time.
Oh my god, I don't understand how that's not gone in, neither does Expo.
This is my cup, so this player's gotta hear him go, oh my goodness.
I'm sure that's one of the
most. We see that Diaz miss
again. I'd love to see it
because that ended up being a
costly goal. Yes, they got one
back. They're losing it over
time. As I'm concerned, I
should have been in. Yes, sort
of moment that, you know, it
would seem one team who
succeeded in their one moment
and other team who he's based
on that repo package. Something
where they were like, well, on a better team.
So even though they lost to another rider,
believe them for not taking a tactical time out here,
I think that's correct, keep it running.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see if that decision was smart.
Game four, Utopia Coliseum.
What are we about to see in this one?
What we need to see is MIBR,
they continue to crown this series
for the scuff of his neck.
Game one, is it the south or forward,
someone's not pun intended.
An SSG, they bring it forward,
they might run away with it,
considering the history between these two regions and those demos so far have not led to much.
Well, God was he relatively similar to how we saw Man City be NRG. I believe there were 14 offensive
demos in favour of NRG and they still lost the series 3-0. Oh, big save from Razeball.
He has to tie those demos as well. Space Station getting it coming forward again, reveal.
He's getting this done. He's there again. It's not just getting their cars in the way,
They always get the ball to safety, they force it to the side, over and over and they're
raised all this time sacrificing the Skyrim, still they get away with it, Space Nation
dating Sydney cannot score Astro, but the recent now wants to don't reveal a point
that well.
That decision from Rey's book, it still says, no, not that nice, you're right in my way
enough.
Wrestling and a fender out of the sky, reveal is a nightmare.
That is such a good snipe!
And as the sort of bump and demo you were talking about, well timed, straight to the point, here's the bullseye!
Lovely SSG, I love that kind of goal, with a defender that has to take that exact path.
So long as we're being intercepted at the right time, it's going to be a goal.
Zack, just the bump target, so I start to clear it away, but only as far as real, back central.
Zack, as if it's getting into the bay!
Space Station Gaming doxing in the final third.
Here I feel you exactly what we wanted to do here.
You don't need to take a touch.
And then Zack, New Zealanders behind him.
All three players playing their parts of perfection
for Space Station Gaming.
And they're right back in it.
Just whenever it's seeming like
they didn't deserve a game on top of them.
SSG remind us all of their quality.
The one of the kings of North America playing like it.
But it could be one straight match.
So they hit the crossbar, somebody's following like this, while blocked to the end by Reveal.
So far, Echoes in that game number one. How can making Brazil bring something back?
Good attempt at a bump there, front and side trying to get revenge.
D'Az playing so far ahead of the ball, nobody on LRBR is safe right now, to the ceiling.
Ravebook does beat one, but with no booze, he has to get it.
Dunk is unable to, takes time to hit, sad.
Roots steal in the corner, all's once successful.
But Bonbon hits way out on D'Az, gives Astro a way in.
All three to the side, another bomb on San Pizzo.
Oh, Patrick!
Yeah, I thought the chance had gone back.
But for himself, this was his panning, it was too quick.
Zachary Diaz didn't expect it.
He pixels away from the block.
The race ball.
So there's a little bit of speed in those horns.
And they're able to get that extra reach to get the ball.
Made a result right back in.
to them. Razeball's already off, there's that one beneath them. Yes he can, Sadler has to
avoid getting touched, it does sort of! Astro helps out, made him with the almost
container from the kickoff. Refill tries to make sure that RZ has it in the corner,
with Diaz now being allowed in straight to the back four where MIBR really have
made facecam off way through this game. Very important game.
That's the most prominent Diaz, and there's just been those offensive demos as soon as
as they might be off, starts to get something going almost every time we seem to get demoed
straight back out of the action.
What's called claw-based game here, game number four.
We haven't been seeing solo plays in the same way we had throughout the rest of the series
there.
I find each of these pastors fakes becoming more and more important as well in this one.
Because we've just started that one, the sand overcommits, is the real challenge of
the space station.
The only reason it's coming back does get something in it, can he get the second touch?
Yes he can, well played.
That is a great raise ball. That is a wonderful intervention from the veteran.
It's going high until it's taken away from him. No momentum.
Sander has to come in. It's actually got a nice bump until a reveal.
Reaching a little bit better.
Not really the post bounce at all though.
Yeah, I think Albee are a little bit attached to that play.
They can sort of see something was kind of happening.
Trying to force it.
That's what's left of the space station.
Getting pressure. They don't quite score from it.
A big post. It has to go there in the middle.
Maybe it free's up on a guard.
But we've been at 100 play trying to play by the statistics a little bit long here so far made of Brazil
Bracepal is looking at most likely player at the moment
At different time and I'd be arc into 12 yard box
SSG up chasteling the shoulder margin out of the way so rarely can they get a clean shot on there
That's true. It's a good challenge of the air on site Bracepal clear chance. It goes to be
I think you gotta hit that crossbar. You gotta go for back ball there. There are two players on the goal line
Yeah
Try to go high and make it awkward. Set the ward up. Lovely attempt here from Zach.
It's clear the way. I'd like for me to DL. That is a strong alert.
He's not going anywhere. That goes all the way back to his own side.
Going back to his own goal though. As it stands, he's basically gaining still.
Jockean, Jockean. Sad usually with his boost to set that forward.
Sad is the first, then it is territory. The second, then it is ball control.
Now they have both. They have sad at the centre as well, so a little bit high.
He has to get it wide.
He's going to pull the strings at 35 left.
And that is ingenuity.
Takes it low.
Can be won.
The second is down to reveal.
The ball comes out on top.
Final 30.
Reveal here.
Sad in front of him.
What could reveal Kondra up loving this time?
Raceball chasing.
Getting space station game here.
Tasting their own message.
That's true in the center.
Raceball I think has been taken out.
Although it was sad that was.
And the SSB on back left.
Space station getting it played into perfection,
to be honest with you again.
Very good time wasting from them, they just slow them down whenever they can.
Final lick of attack here, Sam, with those backwards.
Tries to do against the ass.
Atropway's wall, only to the ground, it's all put himself.
Little bit of a pity that he gave that one, the SFG on top.
Yeah, I mean the ball there was trying to wrangle it, he was trying to sort of farm himself an opportunity.
It just wouldn't happen, and then 0 seconds came, and looking at the moment of danger there,
made in Brazil at the end, and it's easiest gaming ever.
The space station game in England.
Just watch it before we go.
Two, three, four, say, series time.
Over to two, four.
And MIBR wanted to do what very few of them
have been able to do, and what their countrymen
really struggled with to beat North America.
They're doing a great job so far.
I mean, in this little round of bond, they have been doing
I think, you know, what I would guess
is better than what a lot of people would have said.
Clearly, they should have ended yesterday
with a disappointing series from them.
But this one now putting back our misses,
back and forth, trading game wins.
He says that this upcoming game
is what's much more important
to made in Brazil than space station gaming,
and they can get it.
And I start to really believe that SSG
can have been made in Brazil.
They'll be like, oh, what's in their minds saying?
This is the end of their fight.
We are heading straight through.
None of this. Tactical timeout nonsense just yet.
They just want to play it over, get on the field. They want to get it going.
Get cooking out of that frying pan.
And hopefully, hold their opponents feet to the frames.
Game number five is upon us. Who's it going to be?
He has an asteroid. I go for this kickoff. It comes out wide.
Sad is my lead at four raise, but also made in Brazil.
I'm controllable from the kickoff.
And they have to start this game aggressive because they say they've ran away with the last one and they didn't end it well enough after getting their goal in the MIVR.
In the MIVR they're doing more creativity in these games. They start to shoot attempted, but maybe now it's going to be the rotation by Alan to his own heart turning forwards.
I was thinking the exact same. I have scone on this.
The prismatic vehicle.
The light boost. 30 seconds gone and MIBR wanting to really put the pressure on.
Next game with either team puts them on to series point.
We will go side.
Razeball slaps up onto the ceiling but it's so dangerous.
Silverman in front of Razeball gets him all in for.
He died from the side.
He's basically getting all of my mats too much.
There's enough boost control.
There's enough of this attack going until Razeball clears it front of me that time.
No bomb needed.
He's pulling it string, Astro.
What's their head back? Space Station gave his parents as much approval the last couple of games as well.
If they keep funding the platform for MIBR, that's exactly where they're lurking.
With a loose pass for the 1, 2, 3, they beat every single defender on the way through.
It starts and moves, and at the end it tires you like.
Gorgeous play from Space Station.
Dancing again in that final third.
As they do that so well, I think there's quite a play of passes going.
and there's very few teams at World Rock
that can even deal with it and read it at the same pace.
This is very cute.
As he shoots, Astro has to get this read.
Well, he gets something on it.
Sad is able to help him out.
But once again, we're falling into the sort of
made-of-Brazil-effect, a space station gaming attacking.
Astro, speed flips into that one.
It's a little nudge on.
Gonna put it on the way out.
But as they get away with this full sad,
this would be in front of him, made-of-Brazil.
They're just gonna start getting to pull away
and need something soon.
Letting them do it space is getting on any of the little chutes he's had before
The MBR are taking over a couple of chances here just like this up nice and a Michael Astro
Since Bracelet Central passing back is one passing play to the other but this time DL and clear it away
And that left hand win challenges versus Sanz, reveal the next man in
MBR are making it so hard to work through that defense but they need to work with his offensive or recent
makes it high, and it's a going low.
Chastity, shoot!
The other gets it, he's back there again.
Rather than shampoo, Razeball to shoot.
It's all good stretch defense for SSG,
but it's working out so far.
Yeah, that was a huge save from Zack.
It seemed like the ball was about to explode,
but Zack had other ideas from somewhere.
Razeball gets a decent challenge.
He's got a second touch as well.
No, I forgot why they're huge luck from Sam.
At the moment, space station gaming do not have control.
This ball, I tell the park, I've got nothing.
Give the world CUNIL energy!
Yet again, everybody involved on or off-wall revealed to shoot ZAKTAPUM's energy to go CUNIL up.
A masterclass in effects to attack is SEEMED, but made in result had them stretched.
Their positioning was unideal, their work loose balls in the space station gaming box were still made alive, revealed.
Get some quick reset over the top.
Two more for good now.
Beginning to run away with Biggs.
Raise up which is this one out wide.
How they need Astro to get something going on.
A little bit more magic from Zad.
His sword and napriosh get him going down by two.
I know I'm here double.
Instead, it's an absolute later.
It's just Zad.
Get some bump.
Finally finishes.
and I'm the only wrestler back from nowhere!
That's the classic question, how much did he know about it?
If anyone's ever been to this series, I hope you find out.
Because that's ridiculous.
That was intentional, one of the goals of the tournament so far.
The context of the matter, in that sense, what does matter
is that it puts MRDR back within one,
and space station gaming wants more, have to sweat.
We saw in the previous game that Brin won back,
and we were unable to get two across the line.
That is vital in game five.
Veil sends it by Space Station Gaming, he's worked his one well since conceding that goal.
In the back-to-mood territory, but now they've lost it.
Reveal, so much DS cleared this one away. DS was doing a few games of proof so much over the last year.
He's able to do so much work for his team. Now he's getting boxed as well, but maybe enough.
He gave up on taking outside. Maybe he should have saved for a second longer.
Attempted to bump or dunk on DS from Astro.
on the road. Warner now. Razer might just shoot as he dumps rips it towards the target.
Depths the cost bar instead. She's discussed it, but again Razer with a boost steal. She's
hit both the limits of the board and it's going to be tough. Tantra's second re-set
but Diaz able to read him. He was trying to reel that one in again. It was like a zero
second play they got on the last game. After the little pre-jumper, he's raised both. It's
an album on. It's time to get the shot this time. Now he's caught up. The dunk is so good
for SSG. And Rebels was waiting in that blue half. Just a blow, but get the ass killed
The ball is brought across town, gets credited with the goal.
This is she has so much confidence when the 50-50 comes in,
they are hard like greyhound chasing hairs.
All of them want that goal.
It might have been bundled home anyway,
but revealed to go away any doubt.
And maybe that takes a way down in this game.
That's two to wrestle back.
We've not seen either team be able to do that so far.
And throw up high.
River loose touch goes straight back towards the free jumping SSG defender, that's on target.
Yeah, he hopefully is opponent was trying to challenge him, but he knew what the attempt was with the space that she gave him defender.
So he could just wait. Now how do you want this touch do you? Well I'll be there waiting for it. Now Miss 30 left.
Miss trusty has already helped. SSG make two sit back and they don't choose to sit back.
Almost imponitable at times.
Yeah, I think that's when they are, when they go ahead by a couple of goals, they're quite happy just to have the first couple.
Then they push the issue down, happy now to sit back a little bit more.
Again, very NRGS, I feel, a lot of the time.
Get past them, you've got Astro.
One, one back, and a drown.
There's more pull in.
I think clearly they are on their might be our side.
Yeah, the turtle is broken there.
Praiseful, great finish at two, defenders diving across.
across and they will believe that this is an opportunity this kickoff what do
they have up their sleeves as sharp against the as it goes high
he goes down the middle though
Saks able to catch that one not sure that was the play
Saks set this down, Saks gets the ball away
space station gave him what it wants
series point and for the North Americans
An opportunity to head through into the lower round too, to earn a few more points and that bit more prize money, to earn the respect and continued adoration of your countrymen.
MIVR are fighting a hard fight.
One more for SSG, it's gonna seal the deal.
Look out here in Paris, the crowd are not with them.
MIVR are getting an amazing and incredible amount of support whenever they get a goal.
get a goal. Oh yeah for sure. Made in Brazil have made themselves plenty of fans so far
here in Paris. The way they've been playing, the space station gaining the speed in which
they zip the ball about. So entertaining and good to watch, effectively we're able to,
she's going again because there has been a made in Brazil tactical time out. They finally
used it. Yeah, good time. I don't mind it. And that goal from Sad is outrageous. It's
I feel like the ones from SSD are a little bit more planned out.
They've almost got that plan coming through.
You always see X for them.
Just you're like, yes, that's what we need to do.
Good job, boys.
I love to see it.
I mean, specialization game, and they went all in three in the Boston Major
before bringing back Zach.
But this is a whole different beast.
The seeing of them so far.
They've already done better than that this time around.
They will have supreme confidence.
They're able to keep on going in this tournament, that lower bracket round 2 spot beckons them.
They will face either team vitality on the injured and the pyjamas.
It could well be EU versus NA, which is always exciting, always good fun.
I'm sure it's probably going to get behind the European teams, especially if it's vitality.
Yeah, true.
And I do just feel like when we saw SSG compete at the Boston Major, they really did not have this spark.
And the return of Zack has been wonderful.
It's been so exciting to watch him retire for a bit and then think you know what it's actually quite fun
He has actually a really good job
Now I think about it coming to these events all around the world and playing for tens of thousands of dollars is pretty cool
It's quite good. Yes
And he has been an opportunity by the horns. He has proven to be
Hey, I must say one of the mvps. Look, are you in the taller in one of the mvps?
He has been a phenomenal character on this team. He has turned around their fates
and MIBR, they hope to turn around this series.
They want to make sure that they can get the next two games,
but it needs to begin on Neo Tokyo.
Will the gaze of Bob Thuramann be able to inspire them on?
Another win for SFG, sent to through.
MIBR need to stop that plan here.
And so has controlled them all from the kickoff.
And this is what made Brazil need.
They need some control. They need a way to break through space station gaming, because when they have a lead, it's so difficult to turn them back.
They're already pretty good when they do score the first goal.
The first goal is of utmost importance in my series.
If it was not received that comeback, I mean the team so far. They've got that one or two depending on the score line,
but they've not actually been able to bring it back and then win the game.
So a couple of goals being the absolute difference maker.
Asteroid leads Zack to the boost, but he can't drink it unfortunately.
40 seconds gone.
He's from a field. Just send it high.
Orgkity has got the end-off, but he's getting central.
He does not, but he does get one of his lovely demos in May.
They are going to be continuing through into game number six.
Oh, lovely play there for a reveal. Try supporting forwards at the end.
I don't have a reliable, completely unburdened score.
That's a bit of a token of sad.
I was going to walk to the centre.
I won't wonder if a baby person playing could have breathed that touch in the end, though.
Well as if your pass would get at this side, bet my asterisk.
Let's get the dunkers one off Diaz.
A few nearly both of them in the centre of the pitch at the moment.
A little bit confused there, I think, from both teams.
The other side thinking, oh, you're both mine, or what's going to go on there?
So down to the end of the end, some going in favour of SSG.
Very safe from them, but can't find him there.
Receptor revealed, beats one.
Sadder sent both down the way.
Ain't that always the case.
Diaz chance for a double, shut down by Razerbull.
Yeah, Razerbull, he should be able to get a dunk on this one,
a part of the wonderful pass.
Diaz goes for the mid-back to now for a deal break.
I'm at this race station, David!
I think it was wide anyway, but Astro made sure.
Only just wide, no pass central.
Is that a 10 to set, Raphle? Can make no contact with that one.
GD, again, I feel like a few of these.
There's almost like, as close to that game one, where SSG, they're trying really hard,
they've got a couple of chances and you side there, Raphle.
Such a heavy touch.
Look, for the first time again, he had a pass to his left, get the chance to go solo,
maybe a little trouble on the top.
Uh, 50-50, right?
In the end, he just crossed it forwards and we carry on playing.
Comfort has seen that from Reis, but it is frustrating, I have to say.
Reis, but they're wanting to ask him this, doesn't it?
They're just going to have a plan for it.
Alright, time here now.
The ball sends it high.
Opportunity to get the better.
First of all, it calls Astro in.
And unlike that play, Zag, let's get a touch.
First of all, Zornik central, he's first to it.
And Biel is going to be the guy.
Zag now to continue on.
The double!
Oh, and nearly straight in this time.
Biasca follows.
And that could have been a little bit of magic.
Astro, is that challenge?
and reveals the control of this one. Still a race, but it has to be quick it is.
This one has to be building brilliantly. This one has no boost though.
Does he see it to a pre-jumping asteroid?
And he just sends it full light. Get that one more with no boost.
But maybe he could have helped. Maybe he could have held his nerve.
Sam gets in there. Hey, there's two spacey,
motion gaming players next to each other.
He moments here in this game and in this series.
Physicality, wrestling, demos, tussling, every opportunity.
Two to commit to that save.
Still, Mill, Mill, and now an electric game six.
Oh, everybody misses!
Everybody's trying to block the shot and block the clearance
and now we've got Reveal in front of Zack!
Made it Brazil to five! Can they get rid of this ball?
It's just up to Boomix!
You see a couple of giants in SFG
they wanna take the shot but they're waiting for the next run
to come in to get the box to secure it.
Maybe a shot ripped on target could have found its way in.
Razeball here.
Waits for Reveal. Reveal to killing with one more touch of his fennec.
What? In comes his teammate nearly there.
Zack leaves it with Diaz onto the backboard.
Who's following up? Just Razeball.
They are faster right now in SSG, but a deep risk for MIBR, holding ever so well.
Kanzak breakthrough, a reset, round-robin, off-target saved.
The problem for the main in Brazil is that every time they do get the ball forwards,
they're all pinned back to a space that she's gaming and just comes straight forwards again,
with hundreds of boots between them in the tank.
These boots skills have been vital to the previous games,
and that story continues into the second.
Kanzak goes straight to the ceiling, he's nearly big, so it makes it awkward at least.
First man to it now, Razeball, central, one Delo, Diaz, Roussa, one Bump.
And they just need these individual moments to tie together for a goal.
Yeah, that's Luce, I remain in Brazil, I can't do anything with that one.
Less than a minute remaining, perhaps, of made in Brazil's tournament.
Reveal gets to 100, and Strelka is long, Diaz.
It's a cat, but that's not the best one.
Who's gonna be hoping made in Brazil?
I hate to keep this attack going.
Razeball forward, Razeball wants to shoot, but can't quite do it.
Astro will get boosted, via the boost.
Why doesn't it from Diaz?
I'm straight on down here!
Diaz is done a vital!
That is utterly outrageous!
From Diaz!
Can he break free?
There's your answer!
He has been loaded!
Made in Brazil!
The duck from Diaz is demolished!
It is deadly!
And it may well be the difference maker, final 40,
40 to left wall, sand up high, who can defend this?
Calls off, so revealed, he's now the next man to it.
30 seconds to go.
It's going to be high, mate, Brazil need this one to go in.
It's sad, but it's blocked by Venus.
20 more now, Razeball up high, next shot, Astro.
They are just sending everything, but nothing convincing enough.
Razeball to the ceiling, reveals, waiting behind.
We've seen this play out so many times,
made it Brazil, are they going to get one more shooting charge?
But with coaches like that, Razeball has to make
Something happened now, but Diaz again against his best resilience continues to be the thorn in their side, but rugby, the series, MSD make it through.
Yet another victory for North America over South America.
And in stone is his rivalry and it will not be changing today.
MIBR, they put up an incredibly valiant fight, game six, well fought, but SSG just had too much metal.
The North Remembers, the North Remembers out to win, the North Remembers out to get past these South American teams.
They have a terrible record against North American teams, bless.
But it's all smiles, they don't know they're putting a good performance made in Brazil.
You know, for a team like this, you're building towards Worlds.
You're always building towards that next tournament and the building blocks
Has been put in decent foundations today, but space station gaming they are growing up in front of our very eyes
It was a mature performance. It didn't have all their own way
They took a couple of beatings in that series. They made that too much. They are too quick to deal with too many of them
Yeah, I mean it really is that physicality that was the difference maker in every game that had always a different identity to it
what through six one thing say consistent the thread of fun make you
sure that if you remove a player even if the shot isn't the best in the world
you get rid of that final guy it's going to find its way in that is something
that never changed and SSG they had that game plan throughout and it had to adapt
in between but when they can get the bumps when making a convincing shot on
target they will be getting it for win and that done from Diaz is unbelievable
not being the difference may come.
And so SSG, there you go through,
into the low up round check.
Another round of applause to your winners here, SSG.
We knew that would happen.
We're in Paris. Now I wanted to ask though, when you guys came out here,
what was your thoughts walking through that tunnel and seeing what was in front of you?
Um, it was just crazy. There's just a lot of fans here in Paris, to be honest.
It's just a big arena.
Very big arena.
And I know you guys generally have a calm, quiet demeanor.
Do you find that that interacts badly with a loud environment like that, and how do you guys reconcile, you know, matching those two different styles?
I think it's always good to be calm, you know, game nonchalant is just the best.
And yeah, it's just what energy is, stay calm, play your game.
He's still happy to be calm, and for the moment, it doesn't affect him too much.
Now a bunch of people probably had you guys as the favorites in this matchup against MIBR, but they started to fight back.
Was that just them playing well? Did you start to maybe feel the nerves despite your calmness?
I don't really play, I mean, I don't really play the nerves, but I always just like to stay calm.
Yeah, they're a good team to be honest, but we just weren't playing our game.
He asked me when we started a fight back a little bit and to be more and more warm in the game,
did they get nervous? He answered that he was calm, he never tried to be too nervous.
And when I looked at it, it was still a very very good team in front, but they managed to get it all the way.
He asked him if, obviously if Vitaity wins tonight,
Vitaity, I'll tell him tomorrow if it's a little stressful to play against Vita.
First of all, no.
You can stay J if you want to.
of it tomorrow. SSG on the stage, finding a way to win after losing some initial pressure.
They got that game one win, but then, made in Brazil, rally back, win two. They win the
overtime with the tech pause as well as difficult match to keep your mental in. And SSG after
that loss, lock it down. Yeah, credible teams made in Brazil. They were on the backflip most
of the series, but when they had to score, they found a way to get a pre-jump pass for
for a very nice opportunity and capitalized on it.
So, Pat's off to Made in Brazil here, but Space Station,
it's also, we were concerned about their nerves
and this series felt like it could go the other way
because of that, but Space Station passed back.
Well, it felt like it could go the other way
because, listen, there's defense
is just significantly easier to play than offense.
We've been talking about that for the past two, three seasons
and it just keeps on happening.
The better players get, the more they can do
on the defense and SSG,
of listening to this. 59 shots throughout the series.
They might be our head. 33 shots.
SSB, 37 demo.
Yep, my field track.
They might be our head. 16.
It's not like they just don't have the ball. SSG have the ball.
You can consistently stay in the game.
Even when they might be on offense, they were getting demo.
How are you supposed to establish a rhythm on offense if you can't avoid the demos?
And honestly, the problem that all of South America have when they get on land,
They can't they can't handle the physical game
And all it takes is a couple of ups and demos and there wasn't a couple from the space station
But apparently also the secret weapon is just to steal a Brazilian bring him to North America
And he's just gonna put the ball in your net over and over again
Diaz he got a lot of goals here, but it was really enabled by Zach and revealed helping to open those gaps up
So Diaz just helped me a finisher and he was a leader deck. He was a leader deck out besides that one moment right there
He was completely all right
He's not there for it right after he say okay. Well, that's great. We shot the ball way right
I will say it might be our when they had their chance if they did come from that double reset assist
Yeah, I said I was dished in one of the saves they had that we're like it was like off of raise
But two of his car as he was flying midair. They had some
There's that shot right there catch them out
But he's the same exact story with this team every single time all the 20 plus here play the tight there. We can't close
It's just so difficult when you're the underdog and you're making these clips to keep in it
But it's just you have to find a way to win the field position game and we saw the routes like MI VR
They were on the defense of half about average of 70% for all three members
Space station on defense was only 55%
It is a 15% difference
You're not gonna win a lot of broccoli playing that much defense and in Brazil. There was just a little bit too much
Is it like the average difference of three or four percent?
Fifteen percent.
You knew that number? That's good for you.
I didn't know that number.
Yeah, well, thank you.
I'll tell you this though. I'll tell you this though, man.
SSG, they had some incredible plays.
Game five and game six.
The average, they're gonna dump it in,
and he's gonna dump it in.
I was like, oh, that's a kind of a top lane of a stuff,
but then once again, just get the duo going.
The low, low, 50 to Zachary,
but you know what's coming in these one-time first series?
And in game number six,
D.S. is reaching like a Harry Potter book.
That's called a second-grade region level boss,
level boys and as easy as riding the bottom of the net and they might be are
you play a dangerous game you want to play defensive game you want to play
0-0 what happens when they finally score with less than a minute left you're
not gonna score any top suit game set match done with that SSG advances in
the bracket leap ones correct they will play vitality if vitality makes it
for digits if you get though you know yeah I got play the match for your for
certain but these were small stats at the end possession time of possession
You were talking about like them not having the ball.
Obviously, this is I think the way you read the who's got the more shots.
You got the more demos makes a lot of sense as kind of a determination of
possession. This is a slightly different way to calculate.
It just based off where the ball is on the field.
But I mean, some of that 48% is them trying to catch back up to the ball on
offense because I kept getting them.
So they were actually off the ball on offense for a lot of that percentage.
So I do feel like that's a little misleading as to who actually dominated
possession felt more like 60 40 than it did 51 40.
Yeah, then you have to credit Diaz obviously he had that one big miss
But the next game after that score two goals back to back use also with quick rotations and demoing on the back
Well, there's a lot of analysis up here. I won't be I'm very excited about is James
But has somehow stuck his way into the bowels of the stadium here and is at the
Telestration station James where can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you wait. Let's go. Okay. How'd you think of that match?
It was a club. I thought made a Brazil was going to do it, but you know, they've been close before again
They weren't able to get the job done. I think this is a great sign for North America and SSG in particular
The pressure being on stage in an international event and delivering. I think is great for NA and great for SSG
For sure. Okay. Well, show us what you what what things did you notice from the match here?
All right, so this is the team passing play you may remember also bear with me here. This is my first time
using this new system but reveal starts out with an incredible 50 that makes
things really awkward for made in Brazil you can see Astro doesn't get to the
touch there very awkward reveal comes in not only is he gonna get a touch here
but watch he actually lands a bump and disrupts the play this throws the made of
Brazil defense into chaos and now you see Diaz Diaz enter the picture here
reveal doesn't rotate out of the play too far you can see he's gonna go pick up
that corner boost and get back in the play raise bull. He's
trying to cover that near post reveal grabs the corner boost
sees that coming. And then that is all she wrote made in
Brazil's defense completely taken out of the play. And I mean
reveal you don't really see it the first go but he was so
critical to the success of that play.
What they've kind of double committing up in the corner. Yeah
bomb he gets there is worth even more James. Absolutely. As you
You saw two players in one spot is bad enough.
You throw in a touch from reveal and the bump on top of it.
You could see the main of Brazil defense never recovered.
That's cool.
James, thanks so much for keeping an eye on the special plays there.
We'll check in with the Telstraeter a few times throughout the course of the day.
That's hard to do.
He's doing camera work while talking about play.
And I love that he picked that play and pointed out something.
I know it's already one of my favorite plays from the match there.
I didn't notice that part.
There was also the one little bit we saw, the threat of bumps and how
value as they are. Diaz raised what you saw him. He was in position initially and Diaz
comes in and raise what has to re correct his path and now he's out of position to try
to make a save. There's so many little physicality things to do. And those things are what lead
to the goals. I would say they're locked in. Yeah, they're locked in as is gear locked
into round two. We'll see them play on playoff Saturday. Congratulations. We've got three more
matches on the day. If you like North America versus South American action will stay in
your seats there
All right, to help you un-become 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.
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.
How about Keith underscore 9914?
The bathroom code?
That's the only number I can kind of remember easily, so.
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?
We'll be right back home.
Stay there.
What the hell are you doing here?
Stay there.
Stay in there.
Pushing to the limit I can go no more
Had a light no where I'm coming back home
I'm on dirt road all on my own
I'm a beat of crates from a hamlin' stone
Right hand in stone
Yeah, I'm coming back home
Yeah, I'm coming back home
Right on a hamlin' stone
Cause I'm coming back home
I'm gonna go through
I'm gonna go through
I'm gonna go through
I'm gonna go through
Now I know this ain't right
I'm gonna hold it back
Through
I'm gonna be there, so why
If it feels alright
It's not like I'm standing
For the sake of my shine
I'm gonna go through
I'm gonna go through
I'm gonna hold it back
I
Stand back and I watch you explore
Perfect vision
Falling faster I try to ignore I see you I see
This is not all I came here to find.
The Hottest Squad and Rockley kicked off the playoffs with a pretty hot victory there as well.
They're through to day two and looking to build on their momentum.
SSG continuing on at the Paris Major.
We've got three more matches for you today celebrating Rockley visiting all the different
regions that are still here competing.
You didn't mean it's gonna be competing in the match after this, but we give them a look at America for stuff, right here
Yeah, we got another battle of the Western Hemisphere here
We'll see who comes out on top so for North America one and oh and up everybody's like 21 and two versus South America all
NRG or 22
Energy is so both iterations of energy and G2. Okay. I'm not saying
Yeah, not not our feet. Yes energy to we'll see how they do folks
But we're excited about the gameplay we're excited about the celebration of rock league of the Paris major
that includes showing you a few new things.
Oh!
The reason I fell in love with Rocket League in the first place is because 100% skill
base no rng except for one thing which is demo response every season we're just
improving it little by little and it's great making it easier for all the cats
it's literally more balanced than chess now it's easy to verify now but I
will say that edit that video it's a great video but I save as most unruly
First off, if you're not going to be able to, that ball is not going to go up first
there like that where it's going to touch the pinning, then you can do a little side
roll, barrel roll over. The eyes of that happening are so small. But it's a great,
it's a great cinematic and it did a great job and it's lovely that I can, I can out the side.
But in that animation, that goal should happen everything.
Yes, because you're used to your gameplay where you don't know how to play defense of the state.
So we already know this.
Yeah, you never got close to rolling into the ball in the playoffs.
Yeah, come on, yeah.
These are 23s just around the corner, lots of exciting stuff for season 23.
We can't wait to see what they've got for us there folks that's match number one on the day done three more to go here in our playoff
Brackets we're playing through round number one the upper brackets there and they're sitting comfortable there
They're drinking their drinks eating their baguettes somewhere in the venue having a good time watching the gameplay of watching watching the riffraff
Sort themselves out down below the people that somehow
Dane's to lose during the group stage here
But SSG surviving through to the lower round number one there and we will see these other three matches happening as well here today
Yeah, space station gets to go back
You know it's hard to play early
But at the same time once you're done and you know now you can rest and also watch your opponent later in the day and start game
Planning for them. They'll have probably a little under 24 hours to plan for whoever they have to play three ninjas and bikes out
Well folks we're getting ready to go here. The first match is done. Let's get that second one underway
Introducing first on the blue side, representing South America!
They are the fury of the storm across Brazil!
They are fury!
to have Furia in front of a crowd again here at the Paris Major.
And it hasn't looked pretty for this team, even in the group
sink.
It wasn't looking too pretty for them.
Now they've got to go up against the team
that they literally never beat the last time they played
against each other.
I believe it was the whole way back in the broccoli nature,
which was, no, it wasn't probably was London,
which was like two years ago when they were still G2.
They lost 4-2.
They had to go even farther back.
And that was when Truffinio was still on the team.
But Swift is on the team now, and Furia, they've got a lot to prove that they can still compete at the highest level.
Yeah, but Furia, you know, they're forged with fire, but with extreme heat, you expect Furia to show up.
Their numbers are not pretty throughout this tournament, 15 in goals for game at 1.25, but that doesn't matter now.
They're in front of the crowd, they're number one team in aura, and we already know that, so they know how to compete
when the lights are the brightest and see if they can do it versus the world champs.
Exactly. They played the last match yesterday.
They had the reverse sweeping order to make it to today and go up against NRG.
Armed at rights and they did it in their own way, their own style.
It took a little while in game number five.
But once they got going, they started being creative, hitting each other,
infill passes, and then they have been working a lot on what I like to call a car mind,
the air dribble bump special, the double bump where you pop it up high.
The first goes with a pump and the second comes to finish.
They also compared that against RA yesterday.
And they can keep doing that against NRG.
They're a little susceptible to that.
A clip, oh well, this is who my eyes are on in this match.
Lost, he's been inconsistent.
He had the best performance I saw from him
in the last two games of that series against RA.
But before then, invisible for multiple tournaments.
And Lost is supposed to be that dynamic player
for this team.
He has to find that form that he found
in those last two games against RA yesterday.
They even have a chance against NRG.
They're starting to rally.
It's been a long road, though.
Furious still has so many questions around them is that success we saw for them yesterday continue here now against the best in the world
And introducing their opponents on the orange side
representing North America
They are your rating
frantically champion of the world
We were debating yesterday who would be the fan favorite, the crowd favorite in this matchup.
Furia or NRG and it sort of seems to me like while there's a detest generally for this
North American squad. It comes with a modicum of respect. That was crowd
immediately going, N-O-G, N-O-G! Welcome for the announcement. I think that might have been
American, that American backtrack. Either way, I felt like they were getting more
noise and furious. Well, we were in France just a little bit ago for the
World Championship and Energy were here and they planted their flag as we are
the best in the world and they did it in enemy territory. Now they're in the lower
bracket which is unusual for Energy. They will have to call themselves out of
this with this first tough matchup versus Furia. Their numbers aren't pretty so far,
but you know, energy is on another level when it begins crowd days in the weekend.
Well, yeah, their goals per game was not free. Their shots are pretty. They're averaging a lot
of shots in particular. I mean, going up against Man City, they still almost had almost equal
them in shots and they couldn't even generally really any type of offense. When they went up
against the BLEED made in Brazil, I think they outshined by about 20. So they're getting
opportunities, but they have to convert. The problem is on the flip side, they're normally
known for a top three defense no matter what event they go to. They're 11th in defense right now.
Energy is getting leaky on that side of the ball maybe because they're trying to press too hard
on the offensive side so they gotta fix that. I think that you know they haven't looked the greatest
over the group stage but how many times have we said that about NRG early in any tournament
where they haven't really leveled up or they don't play immediately out the gate like we
expect them to and then as soon as they get onto the stage in front of a crowd. It doesn't matter.
And they turn it to the best of the world.
They have literally finished top four twice,
where they were the 15th best offense in the tournament.
No one else has ever done that.
Like, energy can do that, because when it comes down
to these games, they're always low scoring in front of the crowd.
But energy knows how to play in those tight, one goal
matches.
They did that.
More experience in this environment
than any other roster that is still standing here.
Taking a look at the head-to-head between Daniel and Lost.
This one, it feels like Daniel was always
at that closer on energy.
We talked about players that are the engines of their team.
Daniel has to be shooting well for energy to look dynamic.
He's got 0.91 goals because he's the cleanup crew on this team.
Lost on the other side, Jorbey, we talked about it.
He was doing everything for this team in that reverse sweep to get them here.
Goal participation of 93% is just absolutely insane.
He is but furious.
And if he isn't performing well and he hasn't performed well
over the course of the last three tournaments, this team does nothing.
Yeah, really, I said this about made in Brazil, but I'm saying it about lost in particular mechanics, fundamentals, the touches.
You can't have these leaky touches. The ball can't skirt away from you.
But you have to be locked in against NRG. If lost can do that, they have a chance.
I mean, this is such an important matchup for them, though.
In so many ways, obviously, just for basic tournament life, you lose this.
Your tournament is over, but put it in the context of the fact that made in Brazil, the only other South American squad,
The number one South American seed just got knocked out the previous catch.
Buria now becomes South America's last hope and they have been the standard for South
America for so many years.
Weren't they to win this?
They are clearly number one again.
It's been a very long time since we've seen South America top eight runs and Furia if
they do make a run they can pass made in Brazil become the number one seed going in to the
world championship and as well so Furia is playing for that but NRG it felt like the
The plot armor ran out on them yesterday.
They're still in the center, man, it's not out.
Yeah, they regain here.
It does feel like they're a little bit off, so what's this?
This stage is a new coat of armor for them, man.
The shield just recharged on energy.
I'd be worried.
I mean, that's why they got the claps.
That's why they got the cheers and the crowd.
Because these are when they're down, even when they fill out,
it's just they earned that respect.
It's called a modicum of respect.
They earned it.
They walk out, you see these modes.
They capped the new chapter, coming out,
then the boys, then down the lane,
and you're like, oh, my god, then our G is still here.
They can still make something happen.
And I still think that someone who has to earn that respect
still on the other side is Swift.
Swift, I think, has looked the best on Furia this week.
I think he has done well to our Furia
to keep them in a lot of their games.
But for me, can we see Yan turn back the clock?
Is Yan?
He hasn't been that player for Furia.
Are we going to see that Yan in the crowd on stage today?
Now, obviously, this doesn't have to do with the players
who are currently on the stage.
But NRG vs. Furia as an organization in all of his history.
Furia is ahead 5-1.
NRG as an org is only being Furia as an organization one time.
That was back when they were in the same region back in 2023 when Furia was playing there in North America.
So you think it's gonna win in the fan belt?
We'll make our picks up here on the desk.
I love that stat wave.
He's trying to sway the vote.
I love that stat.
Wave punk.
That is awesome.
The best host in the world just made it up for you.
Give me Furia!
I kept NRG.
They're gonna take down the world champs right here and right now because they as an organization have always beaten energy as an organization
Exactly, they're back in front of this crowd to catch them and like that for the Brazilian
NRG's in the slow run. There is no way this team consistently finishes top four at every single event
No matter how bad they're playing and this is to just make top eight. This is easy for energy
I got them all away.
MIBR period, they trade blows in South America. NRG played MIBR and Dan was on a batmobile.
They still beat him in five and they outshot him.
Well, they didn't beat him until Dan switched to fennec.
Okay, congratulations. Well, he's gonna be playing fennec this whole entire time.
And saying that though, I expect NRG's pressure to be there and I expect him to be creative with the ball
and I do expect that I'll shoot him by about 20 shots.
Give me NRG. I do expect him to be fair here.
The end is, can't be the time.
It's clear. There's one side has fury, the other side has the reigning world champs
and you're gonna stick with them until they give me any reason not to folks. I've got NRG,
we've got NRG on one side of the coin, Fury on the other. And it's gonna come up NRG for the coin
as well. Oh my goodness, folks. How does chat feel about it? Is South America awake this time of
year? Well, she not maybe not quite enough. You're all 25. I was expecting 15. I'll take
pretty good when you're going up against the squad as dominant as NRG. So we'll see
how they hold on and what a way to continue on here in Paris.
We had made in Brazil against SSG just now.
Now we get Furia versus NRG.
This is going to be a great match.
Oh, man, if you're just going to do it,
they've got to find a way.
And they make it happen here, folks.
It's time to continue in Paris.
We kicked off the playoffs with back-to-back New World Contest.
One South American squadron has already been sent home.
Two will lose the other one right here, right now.
Both squads still trying to find their footing in Paris
but they've run out of time most.
It's NRG's first series for their tournament lives.
It's not the operating world champions to face the crowd for the first time here
In the Battle of the Americas,
Fiora with a chance to through the Unbreakable,
top by the White's winner, a best of 7 in the start.
Who goes through Johnny Boy?
Johnny Boy.
Fucker Gracie.
I don't like your CJ.
Top 1 seed, got lots of the good points this weekend.
Fiora gonna be looking at that thinking,
but it might be the Top 1 seed at Worlds.
Tough match to get through NRG though.
They came back strong yesterday.
Oh, hey, Furia, producing the best form under the maximum
of pressure.
We just haven't seen energy in this situation on a Friday.
Illumination match.
Furia just really had to scratch their way through that group.
We saw it go the distance all the way to game five.
What an opening for me.
Has to make the save early.
Goodness me, Furia.
He said it was tough in that group.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
He's a nice state by P-Sport.
Look at that.
Just right in the middle between the building and midfield.
And the resets.
Getting the shot underneath the free jump by Defender as well.
P-Sport's been the guy for NRG lately.
Daniel's been trying to figure out what Cardi wants to play.
P-Sport goes to P-Sport.
They're going to need to respond to that Group B.
We're calling it Group 3 for NRG.
They got swept by Man City.
They're the second seed out of it.
chance of redemption here in front of this French crowd.
The last time they grace the French crowd,
they won the World Championship in Lyon.
Great start here, that's a touch for Atomic.
Not quite get the touch and Dan's got to keep this ball
in the corner.
Fury resulting in a major sort of offensive of beating R
right yesterday Johnny.
We need to see the bar up again here.
They're kind of stuck here from Fury.
It's up the post, don't want clear as well.
From NRG, he can himself save from,
can see that an equalizer there.
Which already seemed quite up-beat.
That was from NRG.
watch out for Furia, he's down on the Caster, they've got him the fastest. Not gonna be a goal for them quite yet but these are some good upers on the Caster, it's like, drop Furia.
As Joby said on the desk, I want to see Lost get involved with this man right here, we're sitting down here against R8, he's got a chance again, he's got an open anti-fac but he's got an almost to the wrong target.
NRG has to scramble back, Smith still pushing forward, he's going to leave it for a loss.
On the backboard, no one went for NRG, but the pressure is still mounted for Furia.
Still with pace on Yanshaw, I threw one on there.
NRG playing a lot of defense.
Kind of accustomed to that counterattack playstyle and happy to bat down the hatches.
They've done so well here.
And it's still tough to do counterattacks for Furia early on.
Furia doing a decent living forward though.
So many demos lined up, I mentioned before.
Energy did focus on that yesterday against Man City.
They had tons of demos.
The problem was that none of them actually led to goals being scored.
They were playing at Demilion and then leaving.
And last thing, it would just take them all with another player who's still on the pitch.
So, you know, these demos from Energy that got wood for the tightening of them specifically
to try and get to when a shot or a pass is come third.
Tommy putting more pressure on, but it's down the line.
Swift, he has just thrown that ball away.
This is what's actually going to leave it instead. It's in the locker for NRG, because Atomic decides to leave the side while he was a passing option. He helped out.
Swift, 1-2 plate coming through, that's a quiet land. It's Atomic. He's on the board to call out. So it's just a bump well.
Lee himself downfield here for NRG. He stands in there as well. Lost gets beat to the ball from free for B-Spo. He's gone for help with the side.
No 1-0 either. Swift trying to keep it close. Fury is seeing what they've stabilized since giving up that early goal, but they need to find something near B-Spo.
They smoke once a second.
Floss, gonna throw that fucking outfield and they're gonna just smoke booze.
They're not able to really counterattack in the fashion that they like.
They've been on booze for a while.
Yann's got a hundred here.
They're trying to get the ball towards it.
Looks like you might be able to take this.
No, it's an aim by B-Sport again.
Just do a safe two minutes remaining.
Energy doing what they've done for large parts of their tenure together.
Getting the goalie and then keeping the bonus scoreless.
They're gonna reset.
He's gonna play two to three!
It's 2-0, RJ!
Furion frustrated, they finally get some boosts and ball for members.
But the fight again from Daniel is just too good.
And that was timely pressure in the last match off the ball.
That's what we need to see from RJ.
Tightly bumps and demos, leading to easier conversions.
Yeah, Smith had to worry about that bump from Atomi coming through back post,
so he hopped up early in.
And just able to cap it last, going low.
He's a pretty jump-like coming out, Furion.
Lost.
It has to be that difference downfield.
We saw him at Swiss combining in that game five
on Chamfield against R8.
Yan got them to that swap with him.
The two unlikely heroes stepped up for Furia.
Has to do it again here in offensive seven.
Elimination match, here's Yan downfield.
Get here, get one more off the backboard goes to Tommy.
Sanhaj, you haven't really been tested too much.
Defensively, Furia gets to get that third one.
He's got a lot of assist, he'll pre-jump out from here.
That's his Misto.
Furia kept the pressure on,
on what the intensity of the aggression
but it seems like NRG is just ready for it.
Yeah, I think this is exactly our energy
once the game played to be played.
Obviously they want the score to be in their favor
but this is their style of game.
They end up all moving around cleanly.
We're not a lot of many great slow plays,
indefensive corners, just three full movement.
I mean, even when Fury are trying to get in the ball movement
that's something that energy are quite good again.
So they might need to slow the game down a little bit,
they energy in and then hit them
of these passing plays across the pitch.
That's what can happen, Beast Mode. Just beat the third man.
Unfortunately enough, the Fury up.
They did have now this back and Swift up to loss.
It's a combination we saw yesterday.
Yeah, wanted to get involved in Re-Man attack of Urea.
They're going for it here.
They've got 25 seconds. Still need two goals.
NRG staring down on one. Nell starts at this.
Best of seven.
It's lost.
It's 50. Beast Mode across as well.
Swift doesn't have too much boost. He's going to leave it for lost.
Has Yam on the left. He's looking for the reset.
He's found two. Don't commit NRG.
You find the slot, he throws it off the ball instead.
Two yen, blocked, NRG ready for every fake play coming through.
And it'll be game one.
Fantastic, Contra, NRG in the escape.
They did not get tricked by any of the free jumps.
They saw every single pass coming.
And they keep furious scoreless.
A pursuit start for the second American.
A lot of free jumps though, the intent for fury of it.
As you said, Johnny, I think that NRG loved that style.
If they're going to attack and try to keep NRG pinned,
They know they'll overcommit at some stage.
We saw it on a couple of occasions there.
It was third man overcommit.
But NRG had two goals.
He just got two shots and two goals.
NRG, the most political performance.
You see, one shot for Miss Mutz.
He scored it, one shot for Daniel.
He scored that one as well.
Fiora had eight shots, but were any of them that memorable?
I mean, a few of them were impressive in the counter-attack.
They're moving the ball well.
They're hitting the pre-jumps.
But none of these shots were real problems
energy to deal with. I mean they know if they go to Fendt for long enough they will give them a look down the other end.
They will look to get at some stage and we saw them able to expose that third man on fury on two occasions there.
Just too good in the end.
Was NRG in game one, but is it concerning that they've only had two shots or two goals and they just keep that play style going?
I don't think so. I think energy if they can put their shots away
that's all we need to see from them because their issue and I think the biggest criticism
we've had for them over the years has been their lack of decisiveness.
They get a bunch of chances, a bunch of pressure, but it's not real pressure.
They're just, you know, hitting the ball right, stealing boost.
But now they're going to take their chances with physical play as well off the ball.
That's what other teams, every top teams of the world have been doing.
They've got outcrop or energy offensively.
I think that's a step up, but actually a good sign.
But obviously nice to rack up the shots as well, so we could make that line up.
I feel like the NRG fans would prefer the offensive NRG, but whatever works for them,
they've had to kind of really go back to what they know after a disappointing group stage
that would have expected to get out of group three, group vision,
they're saying that top seed with relative ease instead.
Here they are on a Friday, and it's got top 12 match.
They're going to fight their way through to the Saturday playoffs.
The top eight is it's very awkward to start here.
We've got to control this one out there.
You get to really be tested for it. The 50s have been fantastic for NRG.
They're trying to face, if you're, they're not trying to go up that first shot, they're trying to be patient with their attack.
But, the way that NRG are reading this game, they know exactly what they're on about here.
Now, damn, with a chance, off the corner, throws it to a top, it's gonna throw it on there, it's a double commit.
The fury, that burns a lot of boost, in fact, they've all got absolute donuts across the board, it's a minute in.
NRG can push.
I think that was the first shot that NRG haven't scored with right there, if it did register.
register. Let's go towards the post for that. That's kind of the sharpest of the
type. It's a great copier when you lose a game. You say, oh well we got more shots.
Yeah we're definitely getting more quality looks than they are. So I think NRG will
want to play for that maybe a little bit more in this game. It starts time for the net.
Really put Furia away. It would be the perfect regain after losing to Man City
yesterday. Just the sweep sounds legendary Furia. So they're playing K-Fly
Oh my god, this little boss was trying to hit, Swift still in the air, he had to land, go again, Dan, intercepts, leaves it for Atomic, backboard,
countered by Dan, cleared downfield, B-Splot, McLean as well, Swift, he's just got a 3-1, I met Dan, he's got a sport, he's got a bump, it's got to be a goal, but here we are!
The supporter rise, and Atomic gets hit by B-Splot, credited with the save. That was a great chance there, the backboard though, unguarded by Furia.
In fact, NRG stands to open, committed touch, and Atomic has to just wipe it inside, lost his free jumping, but that cover from NRG,
They have that second man rotating back on him, and they always help out Thurman.
They want to leave that Thurman in there. They don't want to commit.
It's interesting, we're seeing the same play over and over again.
Where Fury again, the ball like white, they lob it into the middle,
and it doesn't matter if there's a breach up or not,
because NRG are going to cut that off.
They know that pass is coming.
I want to see more solid plays out of Fury in those positions.
If they keep looking for the pass before they might play an energy player,
like you mentioned, that help defense is going to come through.
You need a numbers advantage against this team.
They're too disciplined, they're too good at defense.
And here we have C position again.
It's going to be the solo play this day.
Doesn't make it through because of lack of boost,
but I think in terms of an idea, that's a better lift of fury.
And solo play gives you a chance to open it up with a demo
for the teammate coming through as well,
whereas if they're going for these two-man, three-jump
pass plays, as you said, they're really only trying
to beat one member of NRG, committee two members
to the attack.
Obviously, they can provide some more solo opportunities,
but a missed off the fury.
And then up two, no down here, and a couple of chances.
Swift, reset, he's going to try and find one more.
He's looking for a bump in standing.
Yan, he's found every time.
Here and through, something on the energy there.
They've got someone pretty jumpy, Johnny.
Still scoreless in game two.
Absolute deadlock here.
Surprising angle, cut there from lost.
That's got energy by surprise briefly,
but you don't get much for that.
Eastwood takes the ball.
He's going to try and open the case for energy again.
Well, lost is actually looking up.
he's got a real deal here. Don't like that back pass towards Yan.
Smartly done by Theria. Oh, the bug from Beast Mode though.
Takes Yan out of the game whilst this guy be careful with lack of boost though.
You can see the idea that Theria is going for it.
It's just so hard to get the ball past these energy defenders.
Feels like the sixth of them in there right here in our cheaters.
It's something that's clear. It's the Beast Mode.
He's going to pop it up to himself off the rune with a reset.
Lost intercepts. He uses a lot of boost out there with Theria.
He's trying to get this one out.
He's gonna play as patient as ever, that's what he's known for, third man lost.
Last man on Fury after the demo came through, beastly, lost the downfield.
Will find Yand, he's looking for lost, his ball pass plays coming through, but he lost the one that touched again, they've given up possession.
Perhaps to a Tommy, intercepted, here goes Fury again, the reset coming through.
Oh, off the back foot, lost the middle field!
He's the only one who's on Tommy first on the ball, the Fury will keep on attacking, lost again, he's looking for the bomb.
That's a great series for Fury of the pressure.
It's real here.
NRG are just survival mode at the moment.
But that is what they're so good at.
They look like they have survived.
They're getting the ball past the halfway line.
Half-tight to get the boost.
Number's a little bit higher.
Look at them rush that Fury around there.
They're racing to the ball.
Sometimes there's not even a race going on.
The energy of just letting them have it.
They just have to defend to attack
attacks with absolutely zero in the tank energy. Here goes Swift into the corner. He's got no
boost. You're moving from the pitch. Dan looks for the 50. It's all up. They want to cross the
V-sport. Will our pace lost to that? The pop from Furio. Maybe the last second of a while we see
a from Furio. What have you got for us yet? You've got space on the ball. He's got to take it up top.
Pretty set. Does he have a policy off? Swims into the back for the Tommy. Should be able to clean up
and find the ground. Furio wants it in the air. Or do they think Dan will be happy with it over time?
Yeah, it's partly done there, but yeah, I think the numbers of adage was in energy's favor.
You've got to just accept, over time, the next situation.
Better chances, again, more chances, far period, just like game one.
The energy's defense is so solid, you've got to be careful as you press forward against this.
So we're catching off that backboard once again, has lost the afternoon.
He's so aggressive, always willing to follow up his team next, but
And then he races all the time, much of that, using how much Bruce Batesmoats on the corner, and this is the touch he had when Bruce himself.
Yen on the counter, rips it across, looks for the flip.
It's on there, it's all the way right up in the demo!
This is what I'm talking about!
Very quick!
Boom!
30 seconds, it's overtime, this guy with a demo.
After the first demo, he made a lot of a lot of cuts tonight, but it's all right there, but he does get it done.
And I think I deserve when they're from period they were pressing all game
We you know we comment about energy only at two shots again
What they only had one shot in this game and it was a little pop shots in the near post that was easily defended
We you brought it up in the last game. Is it a problem the energy or not shooting the ball?
Well, it's okay if they score with the shot this time. They don't I
I'm not thinking one
2-0-2, they made it 3-0 points, okay, it's a clinical.
But yeah, energy needs to get the ball out of defense,
they need to create actual shots that can be goals,
if they're gonna play like this.
You know, not often they lose 1-0 games in NIG,
this is their 4-0, their bread and butter,
but that overtime was fantastic for Inferior.
Lost has been so aggressive, even in game 1,
they didn't get a reward for it,
but he just forced such an awkward touch,
like Tommy, once a demo came through as well,
it was wide open for that finishing shot from Lost,
He had to get the dunk as well, and Tomic did incredibly well.
Pretty good thing backwards to make the save, but lost with the dunk.
It's seven shots for Furio.
One shot for NRG.
This time, four shots is a better recipe.
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy to see NRG with this little pressure.
It's a change up.
I mean, we're used to seeing them get plenty pressure.
They put the ball up in the other team's half.
They seal their moves away.
They're zooming on the pitch,
and they look like they're controlling those matches they play,
especially this early in a tournament, but if you're really hard dominating the midfield right now, dude.
Yeah, stick it to the game plan. Even after losing game 1-2-0, they just spin right back into the same thing.
This time it's Warwick. What kind of energy are we going to get in game 3?
We're not talking about this yet. Let's see if they can opt out.
He's down, he's actually going to leave this 4 and Tommy Group last stop left, FY, put him in a perfect chance to start the game, 4 in RG, but 3 shots in 2 games, it's worrying you now, the fact that they did drop that game soon, we need to see if they can find more offense, I don't think it's going to work, he gets his 4 in 10 Johnny, they've woken up to it.
Well, the energy have got their shock, so that's, you know, on the board, apparently, they've got their one, and they've didn't score it, so I guess they should just FF the skin, just wrap it up, I mean.
They missed their one chance, but no, it's up to sight. Oh my goodness! That's a huge accident upon the great skin, defencely by energy. I think that was actually a cool shock.
They've got the wrong brand of G. They hit the ball into their own backboard through their opponent's guard.
Still love the aggression though from Furia. They are dominating this midfield at the moment.
They're not looking to throw the ball onto that NRG backboard anymore.
They're looking to use the expenses of the pitch. They're going wide.
They're looking for a teammate rotating through that front corner boost.
Keeping pressure on, keeping the world champs pinned.
The battle of the Americas certainly a little more difficult than perhaps NRG would have thought
coming into this best of seven off the backboard.
Fuck you, really?
It's a big mistake.
He'll hit my sand piece with my flamethrower.
He's incredibly fortunate.
Throw in our G. That's unusual from them.
It was actually a good touch, I think, by Yanis.
Well, not to try to shoot directly.
Look at her bring a G-ma into the play.
Like you mentioned, NRG did the ball on the ball.
I clear it.
Burial, like deadly.
They can really put some pressure on NRG, it seems.
Which is something to be said about a team who are legendary,
defensively.
And here comes Daniel.
There he is.
Feeling double.
Intercepted early by Yanis.
He can't double it though. It's back to Beast Mode. He does get another shot for energy.
Right, straight out the goalie.
The shots have been pretty far so far. We saw a Tomek off the rim that game and then Beast Mode had a chance.
Here he is and Tomek waiting underneath, gets intercepted by Swift.
Beast Mode through to himself with a double.
50 drop down, anybody home and Tomek's off but he had to go around 10.
Get him, Bo! Tomek's a $3 play!
Nice!
What a new energy!
Excellent, he's done by Tomek.
Loftner's just making that. He knew he could reach the ball but he's not going up.
He can keep Atomic grounded.
Atomic calls his block.
Here's the triple attack.
The press energy in front.
The shots are coming through now.
This is already much more like the energy we used to see.
And then we started the first two games.
And I didn't need to tax on that.
He's already on three jump!
Press!
It's dead!
Equalizer!
Look at the pace from Yam here.
Great beat.
And then landed on Atomic as well.
I think it would have made that much difference.
It's something that was in a horrible position,
but response instantaneous promise of America's.
You didn't know who was on either side.
You think that the Boat Team right now off this series
is N.I.G. The Boat Team.
They're looking like they're better.
T.B.F.F. you're out.
It's the chance there.
And Dan's got to let the ball go through it.
That's going to get beat to three.
It's the answer for the box down here.
Squish.
Oh, they scrunched the last man, though.
It's something.
Maybe a person who's going to get N.I.G. rattled
on this aggression.
The South Americans, the South American second seed of all things, bringing the absolute
hate right now.
I'm trying to remind everybody that that second seed status is really by numbers, that they
are really the big dogs in Sam despite their recent regional struggles.
I think most of us would say that they've won over China.
That's just a 50-50 and NRJ has somehow overcommitted their peace months reversing.
This is at the BV.
Swift had zero boost from the wall.
Beastwood with 100.
And he's hit the ball straight into it.
Furia up and about.
You can see it on the camera.
Bruno up and about as well.
They're right in this series.
In fact, they've been a team in this series.
Off the roof.
Off the kickoff, whilst intercepted.
Beastwood heel to the close reset,
but he's just completely blocked it.
It's Yanisos down the ball.
He's definitely done something.
He's over Daniel.
He makes the touch.
Perhaps the bump was an interruption in the end. That could have been 3-1.
Two minutes left, Johnny. Scooby in 2-1, Skollark.
That's still a great save for Daniel.
Yeah, I'm looking to surprise him with that extra touch after taking contact point through the contact net air.
Speaking of, Daniel together and looking to do the same thing.
Yeah, and waiting for the commit.
Beats his man back from making Daniel look at the connect.
Daniel does get a piece of this.
Still a lot of time for energy to work with.
And, you know, these guys have got the experience.
They've been here before, been up against it before, and they always find a way to go through.
You know, we think they've got their strongest quarter over in the scene.
I'm like, I'm out of your game! I'm out of my game!
I'm out of your game! I'm out of your game!
I'm out of your game! I'm out of your game!
It is one of the all-on-one!
And it rolls in the air!
I'm not expecting any two-spotted spot on the right side, but it was an exciting one.
It was actually a great shot, I lost that.
I'm sure if you finish to get to end with four of these matches spotting,
3-1, Urea area control, and Beast Mode found himself completely out of position third man once again.
He was so trapped in the corner, he had to double back and he got to him, he got removed.
That's two goals from NRG over committee. We don't, we don't see that from,
usually it's Dan playing a third man role. He's trying to start the fireball that offensively,
but usual third man is not there. They're expecting a Dan to be back, but he's not.
I think this is a clear playstyle switch up from NRG that realize that they're not creating enough
So they're trying to do that, but in doing so, they've just overcommitted and not really got much for their trouble.
That's another shot on target for Furia. Well saved by NRG, but the backboard's open.
That bump is coming. Good speed by Beast Mode. Binds the Tomek downfield.
He's boosted, but still can't really follow up on it.
But Furia clearing the path simply here there.
Wow, giving Jack look at this.
He lost to the reset, ducks it back to teammate.
NRG running out of time. So quick to win a set.
They are showing zero respect to the world champs here in Paris, 27 seconds through goals required for NRG.
They're going to fake it for BeastBoot.
It's much more comfortable down this end of the pitch.
Tom is still earlier in this game and Tommy looks to the duller.
10 is set to play Yan. 17 seconds now.
Furia looking to take the lead in the series 15.
They've got to go NRG.
Have to find a goal right here.
And Tommy's out of position.
They're called out again.
Timeless case on them.
You catch a fury, it's just over-committing that third air on NRG, should I say, the fight comes through.
Fury up, Dominant in this game three, and NRG with a lot to think about.
And that's gotta be a tight match for NRG, they tried to make a place-out adjustment without a tight match,
and it's completely backfired. They're able to generate more shots, so that's a problem fixed.
But in order to do so, they gave up their third man, essentially.
They started to take unnecessary risks and gave Furia the counter-attacks,
which actually, that's right, that's when Furia started the match.
They were looking for those counter-attacks he played, so...
I think NRG maybe just played into Furia's style, lost for the 750-point game there.
Monster game for him.
And he's tied by NRG.
I think T-Bags might have called that time out.
He was trying to get the attention of a referee.
I think that's against the rules, Sathu though. Must have heard the calling from the great man, C. Bateson.
That time out comes at a timely time, if you want. My goodness.
NRG, uncharacteristic mistakes. B-Smoot getting caught third man, not having Dan in that usual spot, playing more aggressive.
It feels like they're trying to force something right here. They're trying to force a playstyle shift.
If you're here, have them on the ropes.
It's interesting. We don't see that side of NRG. We don't see them losing goals like this, especially in situations where there's so much in the line.
That's usually where they produce their best gameplay. We see the best version of themselves.
But against Man City yesterday and now against Furia today, they're seriously struggling in a way.
We've never seen them struggle as a roster. They're not struggling against teams that are contending for the tournament, at least not in the minds of most of you are watching and getting takes online about it.
Matt City and Furia are, you know, they're kind of in the 10th rack range for this event.
So, absolutely bizarre scenes here.
NRG needs to find a solution quickly.
If they do, though, they could emulate what Space Station just did.
That's come back from 2-1 down against South America's made in Brazil, winning three straight games.
For NRG, it is similar to nearly what we saw in the online split as well.
I mean, just the eye test for them.
You know, you compare it to the European counterparts, gentlemates.
You just look so consistent so solid, you know, you're gonna get
NRG's the connection
Just doesn't seem to be there the speed on the offence is where you look at the passing place or fury downfield of dependent energy
Just they look so slow to set it up and then even when they do have fury append
I've got time to grab boost and it feels like they're then forcing that third man up for energy
They want to get involved. They want to push the pace, but it comes at the wrong time
And you see the over commits you see fury capitalize
Let's see what Saffy's cooked up on this time now.
You know, I think it might be a switch back to what we saw in game one and two,
and just hope that it works this time,
because they can't be overextending like that.
They can't give Furia free looks on the counter.
That energy, stay full Furia's offense, and produce some for themselves.
Here we go.
Going one of the greatest coaches of all time right there with Farah Saffy.
What does he have?
Oh, wow.
Oh wow.
In the first year for Rift,
he's lost up the Rift.
He might not have much because Fury are pushing early.
NIG, what for?
Boosmo, Boosmo, Boosmo,
Scoots on my under attack.
Again, able to track back.
NIG looking for the counter attack.
I'm also just gonna keep it in the corner.
He's, he's coming there.
He's just doing donuts.
Not wanting to commit too hard.
They don't want to load or commit that third man once again.
This Yan, a Rift to the downfield.
Fury up.
Looks like they've discussed a few things
off that time now as well, Johnny.
Looking very comfortable still.
Amidst all of the criticisms we've had for NRG today, we do have to praise Furia, oh my goodness, what a save.
And out of the net, half-face.
Furia has been outstanding. This is a return to what we expect from them, a chance early on.
Just like from NRG, Atomic to the point, Gardner.
And this was a great pass by Beast Mode as well.
At that time he was no Boost Mode right there, but he finds the pass to Atomic.
Brits are back post, and Fury are getting exposed defensively.
We haven't seen earlier on, certainly not in the previous games.
Better signs for an RG.
And they've got that one new lead.
This is where NRG can feel comfortable.
I'm gonna say that, they did have a one new lead,
but I said backwards open.
Oh, no!
Oh!
And it's a game, Beast Mode, against this.
Well, here we go, it's the Beast Mode.
Atomic connection piece, the speed.
Finally!
It's there for Renage, the offense, sinking up, and they're starting to roll.
They'll see the other half as well.
Hide back them from here, two goals to the goop, to just focus on that defense.
I think if I had to guess,
Saku's main shot last game, or rather in the tightline, regarding the last game,
would have been about less stonk and seated back goals, guys.
Let's just calm it down a little bit.
Yeah, and from here, they've got a perfect chance to do just that.
Here is still opting for the pre-jump defensive plays.
But look at the space starting to open up for NRG.
Tom left, not found, but it's Omi.
Nearly gets his hat, Rick, just 90 seconds into this game.
You're going to have to defend beautiful back pass to Danny.
He does have moves.
Gets one for a squirrel over the top.
Justin has to go himself.
Pops to the backboard.
Anyone home?
Yana player.
It's the Tomek with all the back off.
Beast mode has to pop it up.
The support will arrive.
Dance going to be on the backboard.
Has a Tomek downfield as well.
The midfield game starting to be won by NRG.
Stan, he's just starting to get to work.
Flaring at all cylinders now.
This NRG team looking far better than time now.
So crucial for this team.
That's just gradual walk by by Beast mode.
They're starting to see the gaps in the fury of defense.
NRG waking up late in Paris.
Availa and Laidley know, just for three, Daniel, 1v1.
Roll call!
Availa comfortably on uptake.
He saw perhaps two or three times in a row there,
Dan getting a crack in the third man on Furia.
When you see him with space in the offensive third,
you know, he's going to make some magic happen.
The low boost third man for Furia gets exposed.
And Archie with that third, absolutely rolling right in.
And this is what we expected to see out of the NRJ.
So good at adapting.
They're so good at finding the solution.
It's why they seem like a bad bot armor,
because they never give up great save from that.
But Furia has to fight for the midfield here.
They need to get the ball forward.
It's right to create some chances.
Otherwise, NRJ are going to lost to a side series.
They're just skipping the second man here if you're out.
I'm sorry, NRJ.
They're finding that last man on Furia.
Here, here, Nant, Beast Boat throws it off the back wall, probably wants that play again, nobody home in support.
Dan, nice catch from him, should be able to get it over the top of the loss, it's a great back wall,
switch to trouble, again, has to cut across, but all of Fury, they've got about 20 moves between them,
Swift finally scoots up that corner, 100, and Tomi got it open across, but nobody from NRG was back post,
the secure of the fourth goal, Dan, just got to keep the poll in, but this is perfection so far from NRG,
just keeping him locked, keeping Fury at bay, not giving them that first goal.
Perfect rotation there from beast mode straight towards the ball demo in yand before any drag can move towards the last man
The softened Daniel holding it down in the back for energy
It's up free for Daniel. Of course he gets it no bother. Just a minute to go demo for a period open now
And they do get one
You just see energy backing off slightly
In the last 30 seconds to shoot away from lost
just completely ripped through atomic our all-zero boost energy there's still
moments the fury can capitalize on but certainly this little shift off the
timeout sappy's walk the back you've had a fury respond there's a ripping shot on
there the atomic does make the saves you just want to keep me in this one big
I'm gonna be in trouble.
I'm gonna be in trouble.
I'm gonna be safe again that fast.
And I've been thought of an offer.
The Valken backhand immediately
this move did not pass over enough small parts.
And it's lost again.
What series is having?
They're just challenging in the offensive corner, Fury.
Not giving them space to work the ball out.
They lost the midfield game.
So they just decided to stare right in the face,
attacking through, a drop down to Dan, Fury up.
This is going to be a ballistic last 50 seconds looking for their third goal.
It's swept off the roof. He's looking for the faith to end.
It pumps it up. Yeah, it pumps it up.
To lock it with the shot!
Oh!
He got this!
Los Terralta!
Top ends.
Oh, we were singing exact use prizes of the timeout.
But they absolutely collapsed in the last two minutes of this game.
3-3 Furia! Did they go 3-1 up? It's the end! It's the free double catch! You got the down! Just win!
Big smile!
With the subbing, you see my beast mode. A period of die energy on the ropes. Wide shoulder
over. They pinned him. Absolutely pinned him here Johnny Dan. Tries to control the fall.
It's just a moment of respite. That's why the boost doesn't spawn for loss. So it's only
just three jumps. They want this moment Furia's defensive arm. Furia trying to get it out.
They want one more crack at these NRG teamfights and they won't just get any regulation.
Is it going to the corner? Yeah, one more of a one. It's going to the back!
Oh!
What the hell is he doing?
It's not Neo Tokyo, but it's still an unfortunate error.
The NRG blundered in the worst time.
And that period is to kick off the way from taking a 3-1 lead.
That with 3-0 up with 90 seconds left, they're 4-3 down.
Fury up.
Can they get this ball to the ground?
Last five seconds.
Peaceful.
Pops it up.
LOT.
Yeah, it's great jumping.
He's keeping the beat.
Let's hope he comes through the post.
Yeah!
Fury up.
Let's point.
God.
God.
God.
God.
We were just right in the names of the gravestones for this game.
We thought, okay, NRG have got all the pressure.
It was looking more like the NRG that we used to seeing that just got their opponents back in defense.
But then a great game for it. I don't know how Furia have done that to be honest with you.
Yes, the fourth goal for Furia involved in the Unforced Error from NRG.
But the ones before it, Furia just stopped the pace and lost his head in the series of his life.
He's scoring. Is that another hat trick for it?
It is crazy. Lost is just absolutely drilling shots in.
Absolutely generational series from him.
NRG are absolutely shell shot.
Off that last 90 seconds, I reckon every North American fan around the world
has just gone, what's on Earth just happened?
Furia, they just exploded the last 90 seconds.
They absolutely ripped through the world champs.
Four goals out of nowhere.
They looked down and out.
It was going to be a clean sheet for NRG instead.
The world champs now need to win three games on the bounce.
And this Furia team, Joey, they don't look like they're stopping.
There's no timeouts left to set you.
What did it already seem to Furia yesterday
and they won't come up like this,
because we're up in the worst tournament
in the group of death.
But they've reversed to our right
to finish off the group stage
just to make it into this match.
And we think, well, okay, now you've got NRG.
You know, give yourself a good start,
all right, the group stage.
But you're not gonna win this one, surely.
And then we're up 3-1, I mean,
the turn around they've had in this tournament.
If anything, I think it's supposed to show
how much of a mental game Pro Ruffly gets.
These guys are still obviously very good
in the video game, but their struggles
have been well documented as of late.
And now, at the worst time for energy,
Furia are back to who we thought
they've been the whole thing.
When we thought they had sprints,
this place could be a curse for the French teams
and a blessing for their NRG.
Maybe their new home after the World Championships
went in Lyon.
Good parents has been held for them so far.
Furia, one game away.
Beast Mode gets challenged swift.
Oh, wow.
atomic all for once in my life just has to pop it up to himself uses all his
boost whoever's gonna try to lose that big deal to great time but he's like
just not there in time just not trusting to be from atomic lost lines the
challenge stand underneath still all for you can see it's only just out of
position as well he's too far underneath this so he goes back for his
death to be slow to the back for the side and I see still break through
Fury off, get out for a year now, and they all back off.
All good demo for Fury off.
It still seems like energy are struggling to find the balance
between their aggression and avoided over commits.
Fury, meanwhile, flying forward at the confidence
to have them coming back from three-dive last game.
They look dangerous every time they advance the ball.
Energy needs to trust each other in these moments.
They have to believe in the center post.
They have to believe in the out play.
challenge but to the heart of the mental game to come back from such a deficit
my eyes are on a tonic after that big mistake had his knee bounce back right
here seen a performance that was a huge fault for Furia he'll be looking to
make demands for dance but he's posed last man's twist I forget the demo
beast most back in time but now still zero boost just a tonic here he is
under it up top reset hoping over one let's get in a set for both yes look at
challenge Daniel. After game going in, in this game five. Furia happy with where
they're sitting right now. NRG looking impressed, looking to force a challenge.
Looking to create demos. Can't find himself with zero boost. The real struggle
made so far Johnny.
That's scary.
NRG have missed the ball again in defense. It's Feesmog. He thought that the ceiling was
It's going to come into play there, but the ball doesn't bounce on the ceiling. It plays right over his head.
The World Champs are collapsing in Paris.
Fury up, 2-20.
Whilst popping it up against the block, a switch going to keep the ball in as well.
While still looking to sit down through again.
At the dodge of the demo, you can see them chasing now.
Atomic, he's looking for bumps.
The demo comes through on Daniel's side as well.
They're switching it up.
They're trying to force the demo to attack the opponent.
Now that is a great play from NRG.
They know that they're in big trouble, so they start to discover it.
And Daniel coming in from the blank spot,
catch this fury of a surprise, ties the game up with the center ball to his teammate.
They've got to do it at both ends. They've got to lock it down in defense as well.
Oh, they've done a great job here though, Dan. Does he have the opportunity?
By last his base boats looking for the fake energy trying to take the lead the patients from atomic
I'll have to burn a lot of boost does get interception
These boats just close out one right at swift, but it's not great
It's been down a chance any rich in a cost, but it's too hard for a shop of these but has to control the water
It's in five one more forces two members of curator challenge
He does they have built for the redirect all for the swift does have the boost to get out
We've got 90 seconds, it's going to be tournament lost right here for NLJ.
I like these tricky little plays at NRG, I'm trying.
They are looking at surprise, Buria.
Last conventional rotation.
And this is a big chance.
Swipe for the huge save.
Daniel couldn't catch him out.
And now he's got the underhand wall to the skim.
He's looking at that one.
He puts it to his teammate.
Swipe!
Wait a minute!
The Black Panthers!
Not just doing it on the World Champs, Squint, no boost.
Ben has the composure to find the pinnish, whereas down the other end they had a crack in RG.
They shot it right at Squint. He made the clock safe.
He scores the clock. Could that be the winner to set the World Champs on?
We never thought. I have only N18-0 in Paris. It would be NRG facing elimination first, but here we are.
less than a minute to go the best part in the backboard got the final
and Tommy needed to respond not that previous guy he's found the only
point equalizer it's a great shot he delayed the touch he knew that over
commit he knew that panic in there 22 we're gonna take your breath
North American fans you're still alive just yet and it is deep breaths necessary
3-4 energy at the moment, they don't want another heartbreak at the end of the game.
Sure, Curia would love nothing better than for another energy mistake.
Down the stretch here, they've had plenty to capitalize on in this match.
36 seconds to go, that's a big shot, go save his neck,
it's all he got there, being in the crossbar in Portman, lost with a real heartbreak.
He's going to go down to save.
Crowd absolutely going off here at the chance of a 4-1 curia.
And Tommy, over the top, has Fismo downfield.
He's going to leave at low boost. He's going to look for some boost.
And now it's just Dan.
It's going forward.
Yes, but has to track back. Can't get into the corner.
Just biting time for reinforcements to arrive.
Which they do.
Two-winged overtime here.
Get on the bottom.
Get the curia.
Go on the corner.
On bad man.
It's a double commit to the curia.
They're looking for the crowd.
Baseball, down, down, all still up.
There's Dan on him in the end.
New bench up.
50 comes through, and Tommy with space.
Looks to the baseball.
He's headed for the pop to Dan.
Strip whippers.
Dan's on it.
And he's up on the backboard.
To baseball.
Come on!
It was right there.
Energy can't ice it up again by...
the world champs go home. Over time, Dan rips it across. Beast mode, he's waiting on the
mid boost. There couldn't be the passing option. As yeah, Beast mode, almost in the lack of
off that he would have loved that opportunity. Dan just avoids the pump. Beast mode, picking
up the pace. He's so dead as well, getting more aggressive. Here's Daniel with a chance.
Yeah, he's to the back one, to a trombone, blocked by Yan.
I mean, they're trying to pass, the energy,
they're looking back towards the ball to each other,
but somebody's got to just push on target eventually.
Look at that G-Pog going for the same back
for his pass over and over again.
And we've got D-Fords to overtime now.
Daniel slows it down, big second one.
Almost gets it all passed too, but Yan
infinitely challenges it.
Here he is, not wanting to overextend in the back corner
here, and the energy's trying to move him in.
Oh, nice buck coming through.
Beast mode's got a three jump.
He's still really throwing a long way away.
Has been being to the pole with a double 50, huge from Yan.
He's lost, just trying to keep it close.
Has switched so confident to follow up his teammate.
But then, he in a sense lost.
Notice he has Beast mode on the wall, but still finds it.
Beast mode goes for itself, looks for the buck, Yan already up.
Gets the dunk on Atomic.
A lot of these touches, just clearing that third man from NG.
Oh my goodness.
It's a big mistake, Beast mode.
Has to make the save.
They're throwing away Beast mode still off with.
Recall is incredibly well, and their NIJ looks to camera attack.
That was huge for these moves.
Those are the moments of energy have failed in this match.
He's moved with composer, takes control and defense.
Over a minute, well over a minute, it's over time now.
It seems like it's a bit over, and they put a win.
There it is, Dominic, to the backboard, quick!
Oh!
Oh!
NIJ, dude, get us into game six.
You won't chance to stay alive, we will find ourselves on Niyotukyo.
They defended one elimination point.
And now there's a little bit of pressure on the South Americans.
As they know, they dropped game six.
All the momentum is with NRG.
What, mate? How about this to start off?
The additional crowd gave a major and the biggest major in Rockley history here in
Paris. Feels like a new capital of Rockley got here and against Sam to the
legendary rosters with this greatest South Americans player outside in the
in-game. Going up against the greatest North American player of all time in
the Talbot. An energy looking to make a case as to goat roster. But I want to say
It's been the support and cast from his superior that have been the most impressive swift and stepped up massively from the
disappointing start to the tournament.
Lastest in the best play in the pitch in this match so far.
Energy have still got their work over there.
This is what I want to see from NRG. 13 shots in that game and I know it went to overtime but compared to the
2-1 shot game earlier on in the series,
that's much better from them. The connection piece is important downfield. That offensive third
is starting to sink up. They put some speed on the ball. They're ripping it off the backboard. The follow-ups
Nice and precise. They're not creeping as well. Well, we're going to offer a piece of
money. A couple of times there and in that game, if they can tidy that up though, they're
still giving away absolute freebies. Yeah, yeah. If they can tidy that up, they've got
this serious. I don't think it's going to be snored out of third-band positions. It doesn't
look like you're giving out of there. Not today. Let's get Daniel sitting in the back.
Let me just put it in the stomach. Yeah. Rump the offense, or at least leave the offense.
The angle coming in late is the finisher.
Oh, lost in trouble, right?
He's in trouble.
He's in trouble.
And that's a quick one.
Yacht makes it up now.
NIG, usually.
So clutch off kickoffs, but it's a huge win.
Said Darken forces a double commit from NIG.
Dane tries to get up into it.
He's zero with the tank.
No chance.
Seven seconds in.
Puria, not nice by dropping that last game.
Again, it's lost.
He's just had such a good performance.
0.2 energy defenders there, with the reset and the dunk.
Fury of Dillik like they're trusting each other, a little bit more than energy I.
Full up, stop and click every time.
Yeah.
Oh no, I see deception actually, Swift.
Had to come up big, wow.
That's fine to touch the wall as well, but still,
it's gonna be Dan first on the scene, a little bit of fury over after up close.
And Swift, then after just delay, with Zero, Atomic throws it across.
Here we go Dan, we've faced in the middle.
He's the reason.
Off the road, he's off the cliff.
Oh!
Oh!
Grabbing!
And there's the moment we've been waiting for.
Reset, ceiling double.
Daniel 1v3.
He gets the biggest goal of the tournament.
In Neo Tokyo, two, three down.
And you know, talk about head coming out as he finished.
And what a finish that was.
I've seen the solid play from Sam
through the third stage, but we've
wait to see Dan step up like that in that fashion finally he's arriving in front of the crowd
here in paris in game six yeah oh net double commit beast mode to the wall
nrg got himself back into this you're in sensational way from Dan go on the tournament
perhaps is it something all right out my wide does she got a little bit of chaos more fury up
and it's gonna pop this one up and find the middle with a reset.
I don't know how Hop Down looked for a bump instead.
Oh, Thomas is back with down and away actually still.
Couple of moments for the little Licky for it.
Yeah, he's got back up here though, so energy is still looking good in the plate.
He's got ceiling double mid Daniel.
Gonna let that one go, huh?
Didn't want to risk the interception being in and thinking about the game.
Energy up plays for the moment.
Straight to coming in the midfield with momentum,
laying in the box quickly.
Here he is still looking at Plox as well though.
South American legends.
Here we go, finally here to play, that's one other game.
Switch to the back guard, layering him with defense for Furia.
Starting to find space through the middle here in RG Reset.
Lost, pops it across to Yan.
He was getting bumped off and needs a Tauke to get a free ball and he goes to the Reset.
And Dan keeping the ball in.
Furia playing along the defense right now.
Have to keep the ball close if they want to work it out.
through the middle. It's a nice interception. We'll be off-line so Dan wants the ball. He does get a first touch though.
We wanted the boost as well. So, Vatomic kind of panics and throws the ball downfield. Daniel adds a bad double command.
From NIG, nobody was there for a fury up. You can't see the pressure that this map creates.
Shooter, Trivant, Tomek has the CMS Double Commit. He sugeres the back corner boost, so they've still got Flank Team to work with in defense.
With God, again, energy arc, not way furious setup, those long-time offensive pressures,
like you got earlier on in the series, another absolute nail-bater here.
As North American and South American finds a way from the edge of their seats.
The battle in America's is absolute cinema right now here in Paris.
Lost doesn't get the clear, big mistake from him.
This year, the half-middle was just easily read by Fury on that occasion.
They look fantastic when they do find the gap through the middle, but how many times for
NRG?
They just haven't had that second man there.
There, looks for the 50.
Looses it back to Atomic.
Atomic, can he find one more?
Can he find the bomb?
He looked for it.
Did he get it there?
Now, there, collects.
Off the wall to himself.
He's going to pop it over once.
With, with, with, with 100.
Looses it to Atomic.
NRG, so much time in this offensive third right here.
90 seconds left.
It could be a one and goal game to the side of game seven.
7, 3, Archie going home. Damn, we're in space.
He's going to pop it up to the backboard.
Swift collects, but they're just clearing it in.
Oh, Furia, you want to just try to hang on right here, Johnny.
Yeah, not a lot of boost for Furia in these exchanges.
NRG have got them in the ropes.
Look at the stand to sit for game 7.
One actually thoroughly starts to break it.
This would be...
And then Sam Pallano.
Well, Scott, be careful here.
It does get it fast.
No, don't.
He comes out.
That's all!
Oh, my goodness!
Now he's dead on big, out of nowhere.
Fury, I find the passing play guy and he sends him down in the middle.
Dino finally got the support, but he was lost.
He just trusted Atomic to get the bump, but he's turned the wrong way.
He's turned up the wall nearly, and given up another free golf for Fury off.
There's a minute left.
Second game in a row.
This is where Fury had NRG last game.
NRG scored almost immediately to tie it.
This time they're gonna need to do it for Atomic.
Great touch there from Eastmode, lost, zero boost, NRG, 45 seconds, what a hit go for it, the pump comes through, damn!
He makes the shot, it's a double commit, triple commit, for Furia, Eastmode off the roof to himself, trying to pick up the pace, 35 seconds now!
It's a triple commit, but good one, they needed to send everybody as NRG's bucked in, why aren't they here, come in, they're here again!
He's got a raise, but he's got a fake.
Oh, what a save, swept, a huge save.
Could that Sandin Ajiho in the pop-up?
Over again, does he want to call game?
Raise your heart, Nets!
What a save for atomic!
He's still alive in Ajiho.
15 seconds left, counterattack, absolute chaos.
It's over to the wall, zero to Dan, to the fight.
He's spotted one of them, it's, it's eight seconds.
Scrap, watch the ground.
He's making problems for the world,
The series lost!
Oh!
Oh, tell me!
Yeah!
We're going to keep an eye on them!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, parents!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Uria, NRG are out, not just any Friday, but it's on 12th, 9th, 12th, that's the Washington
issue, the LCS together as a trio. As they return to the country where they won their
World Championship together, but as NRG say goodbye to their tournament hosts, Uria have
Tarned their tournament around they started off 0-2 in the group stage. They were 2-0 down against RA
Looking like they're gonna come last in the group attack
They reverse sweep RA and they 4-2 the world champs, you know, I'm looking a light
I do like to see Jan celebrating again. There's just a little bit of sky
Such a cool character in the scene
But this is a it's a roughly rubber you need the full team to show off and they did lost
I think he might have just played his past series I've ever seen from him.
Oh, Swift has completely turned this right into a run.
He was getting criticized online, criticized here in Paris,
but he really, really stepped up, they've saved him.
Furia, they've flipped the switch.
They've finally got her to play to the level we know they've been again.
And I think the South American fans can thank Allright,
because I think they just worked it off.
They absolutely worked it off.
Yeah, what it means to him in that game five yesterday to get out of the group. It was one of the most intense series we've ever seen
And then come up against the world champs in front of the crowd and absolutely stopped them
And yeah, it was the trash talk when you don't want to trash talk Brazilians from Brazil. I promise you don't try it
It's a bad idea
R8 trade at their regret to energy. I know in the bit as well. Let's that's a lead. He's starting by with the victorious Guria
Give it up here NRG Killers, FURIA!
You've taken down the world champions, one of the best teams coming into this tournament.
What's going through your head right now?
We won't stop on the top 8. We put a lot of effort into it and finally he's paying out.
He asked if it was possible to have eliminated the world's champions in the title.
And when he answered, we didn't have the intention to stop here. We didn't want to stop before the top 8.
We had a lot of effort to do it and we just did it.
Now I have to ask, because you said that you guys haven't made top 8 in 3 lands, that must have been frustrating. How did you work through all of that frustration to be back here?
Well, it's been 3 years since FURIA didn't get a top 8, I've been very frustrated with these feelings and what do you feel when you get a top 8 now and finally get this top 8?
I feel very happy because I was talking to Jan, we lived the moments that were a dream for us.
It ended up being his birthday.
But we understood what we needed and now we are ready to win everyone.
Finally, the dream is coming true again.
He gave me the answer because it's been three years since we last saw Furia in the top 8.
It was a bit difficult for them during the Major.
And he said it was a dream for them to succeed in the Major.
Unfortunately, it was a nightmare the last three years.
So they feel extremely happy and they will try to keep going.
Now it's really hard to win over a French crowd, but they were backing you.
Did that drive you any further and give you motivation that this audience was behind you guys?
Here we have a French teacher, they helped us in this match or what did you feel in relation to them?
I honestly didn't hear it because the background is full, but this teacher is very nice to us.
It's hard for someone to be nice to a person because we are very exotic, right?
But that's it, thank you very much everyone.
To be honest, we didn't really hear anything because the headphones are quite heavy.
But like, if you cheered for us, thank you so much, you really appreciate it.
And that...
He said it was a pleasure, obviously, to play in front of the public.
That's why he's here.
He said it with the guys who brought us the big things.
And if you're with us, thank you very much.
Here we go, Papyrus!
Papyrus!
The rattling champions of the world
who are out at the Paris Major with their worst finish as a trio ever.
And we ended this extra Friday too for moments like this.
We had an extra crowd day, we get some extra drama,
and it paid off here for Fury,
and barely making it out of the group on their last life,
when three in a row there, and then against the World Champs,
taking about six, Jorbey, you're on cloud nine right now.
Was 22, and now 20 and three.
Yeah, that's South America, but man,
Fury did not look good coming into today.
Those last two games against R8,
even then a little shaky, that game five,
It was still extremely tense.
NRG came into the day, not looking great.
And then Furia came out.
CJ said, yeah, flip the switch, yeah, somewhere.
And like, that's the Furia that I remember seeing,
getting top fours, competing for world champions.
Yeah, yeah, turn back the clock.
That's what I wanted to see, man.
And loss was scoring everything.
NRG are playing what's good.
You should beat them.
And that's exactly what they did.
They took advantage of a flailing NRG
and they put him out.
It's kind of strong, bro.
I mean, it's just like unbelievable
how many open-nats NRG has allowed this series.
Unbelievable how they were up three goals in game four.
90 seconds left.
One of the greatest defenses this game has ever seen.
And he just let him, he just let him go.
It wasn't even no defense played in that game
over four when they went up there.
It was absolutely my problem.
McBury has some incredible plays.
But then, even like mistakes in game five,
the defense won over the top.
I've never seen B-Sport in this game too, but a couple of questionable challenges.
It's just like, well, you're just giving them gold, here you had at least five gold in this
series for the net which is wide open.
Across the map!
You know what?
How's it feel to advance?
It's nice when you're able to start to make some mistakes for once.
Across the map!
But I've never seen B-Sport with a rookie grab across the map, but I mean loss was on
it man.
and the shot that put it in the net and like what a way to build up your confidence again.
Yeah, it was all smiles the whole series. Even when they were down 0-3 there was a shot
they went back to Fiora and yeah, he was smiling. And I'm like, hey, they might do it.
I can win this. And I'm just like, man. I mean, even here, that was a great passing shot.
Atomic did everything he could to keep this team in the game. He had some great shots there as well.
But there's two moments in here. We're not going to see in the highlight packet, but it's also happening.
They went up 3-0.
There was a gate moment here where they could have went up 4-0.
But B-Smo didn't trust Atomic to pass the ball to the middle.
So then if Bradman 4-0 ended up being 3-1,
Daniel didn't trust Atomic on this break right there.
The ball's going to go into the corner.
He had no faith in the ball.
They end up losing possession right there.
And then he ended up right here.
Ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Great shot.
That's a great shot.
That's a great shot.
The last two were great shots.
No, no, no, no.
That was a great shot.
The last two were great shots.
And then this is the thing.
Come on, I give you last two or good.
No, the last two were great shots.
see that three goes to the road by loss right there towards 1.17 goals for
game in this year shooting 33% as well.
Yeah, he doesn't have to hit him.
That was there.
That was where I was like, I've never seen him with back.
That was really hard to watch in that moment.
But NRG kept fighting back.
There were moments where there was some good rock being played by both teams.
And NRG were starting to figure it out, but right there.
Now this is a counter attack, but that was after the terrible shot by Gambit.
The whole entire right-hand side of the net was open.
He shot it right at Swim, which instead of the counterattack,
like the net hit the atomic plane,
it actually had some placement this year.
I keep NRG, the world needs NRG,
to be a little more accurate with some deep jumpers.
Man, I know how to deal with it.
The world now sends South American teams in.
Boy, yeah, I'm not in Brazil.
Well, like Donny said, the Brazilians are Brazil.
No, Don.
It's just so nice to see Lost playing at this level again.
And this is when Fury was at their best,
when Lost can do what Lost does.
This is their first top eight since 2024 World Championship.
Jeez.
So hats off to South America getting back on the board here.
I really think that Jan.
Jan was my kind of like, I can't even question Mark
after I saw lost get things together.
Because it was just uninspired from him.
But he's just in the ball out to both swift and lost.
20 this, about 17 this series.
So they were getting shot.
They were counter-attack shots, counter-attack shots work.
And that seems to be NRG's kryptonite right now, also as well.
Them three kickoff goals, Aferi's kickoff in the series
was sensational.
They always generated pressure.
Even in game six, they opened it up with a reset,
I believe, from Yan and lost, came in and shot the ball.
It was a great offensive possession off the kickoff.
Put in NRG, Oriana back.
And hey, Aferi against NRG, as organizations.
Oh my god, this terrible fact.
That's a good one, Aferi.
Careful with that.
Ah!
OK, so need to be G2 to beat him right there.
So apparently that's the issue.
They've done a wonderful job.
That's a flicky wheel.
It's what I have to come here to do
when the World Championship.
But now, it's another NRG that can't be feared anymore.
Is that what you're saying?
OK, that's OK.
But the NBA is tilted right now.
I love it.
I love it.
South America advances to the next round here at Toppe.
They finished, he said, one of their best results
in a long time.
And also, I think they very cleanly here
gives Take Back the title of number one South American seed.
That's crazy.
That's crazy for Fury.
Because it's been a rough year for them.
It feels like this entire season,
but they're figuring it out at the very last moment
before the World Championship.
And who knows, this lower bracket run could be magical.
It could be.
I mean, that's momentum you want to see from Sam,
but I do feel like Sam was throwing it out himself.
So then having that big win over a big win,
that might just really like catapult them,
really letting them know that they don't play.
Like, they was going to even have an LCKQ self-improvement.
And now they got that back as well.
So everything looking great for them.
I mean, when we came in with like three North American teams,
We could get rid of one of them there.
Keep the South Americans around here.
Furia staying alive.
We're two matches down the day.
Got two more to go.
One week in back.
Twisted mines taking the field against Justin
and the boys foot versus Twisted mines coming up after this.
Oh, looks like you're backing up a bit here.
OK, 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.
Sorry.
Luann!

I
You're just a feeling, you're disconnected in your touch
I just believe it, and what I'm seeing won't be the highlight for too much
It's all on you now
So take a look at me now
You have to find a way to get lost
Because I can't take a chance
But what you're wasting
Get out of your case, it's all you got
I'm not in this
You're facing
We can't resist
And you're not feeling the truth
You're tired of running
Cause I know it's a feeling
We're disconnected
And our hearts are large
I'm gonna go to sleep then
And all I see is one thing that I've got too much
It's all I do now to figure out how
You lost the fire in your eyes
Cause I can't change it
What you've wasted
Now that your gaze is morning light
Your life's a fire, you're burning in your eyes
Your heart
Your gaze is morning light
Your heart
I'm here in an oven, it's alright, I know it's been so weeks of heat, the fire is in the ovens, in your eyes, running around your head, there's a thousand enemies.
The Upsets continue at the Paris Major as the World Champs make an early exit and South
America finds themselves a new but familiar champion in Feria.
They continue on.
We'll see them play on Saturday and we're halfway through Friday here, Bates.
It's been a fun one so far.
It has been a fun one.
It's been interesting.
It's growing up area in the first win in a long time.
It gives a G2 that they usually cannot beat.
Now we got Justin coming up next.
And he was playing sensation yesterday, Justin versus Zen.
Justin was second back playing on the pitch behind Zen.
So I'm looking forward to that.
And this is why we play the games.
The underdog have a chance.
And this is also why when you get in front of the crowd,
everything changes.
If they see them in Brazil for space,
space is a huge favorite to that match.
But it was a lot closer than people thought.
So we have another David versus Goliath here coming up.
Yeah, I feel like it's like when we talk about energy is way a lot of like they are that they are so strong
But they they start early, but then they get strong as they go
That's such an anomaly for North America teams
We seem to be really good at the group stage and then it's tip day
We all fall apart well and sure it's in front of the crowd and that's when you know
It gets to be real serious rapidly, but it is still energy on Friday and energy on Friday
It is a very different beast and you know when you get teams in front of the crowd now
They've seen what's happened to even the best of the best from their region now
I think everybody's gonna be a little bit more guarded if you're like all right
We can't take this stuff seriously because I think there was a sense that Fiora had fallen off
That has been proven very incorrect as of today. Well, and they could go question me like we're
Constantly saying we need to see it twice from teams as Fiora in that territory right now
You gotta see it again Bates. I still gotta see it again. I was seeing the same with NRG, right?
They did collapse here. They've been on the downturn, but even when they're on the downturn, they're still the NA1 seed, right?
So it's also that way. Going into the world championship, I think if you were talking to me of like who's placed the higher,
I'm still probably going energy. Yeah, it's like the energy's on the side of the corner.
It's like the losses feel like a fluke and if they get one win, we're like, okay, they're back on the horse.
We're fury, it's kind of been an inconsistency for a long time.
So I want to see a few wins in a row before I feel like, yes, my god, I'll cure you back.
Exactly, it's consistent offense and also defense was sensational against NRG right there.
And it got my pressure too.
It was long shot pressure, but it was still generating.
So, two times in a row, next series of career will be nice.
Well, we're two matches down on the days.
Tell me the third one started here, Stax.
This is usually the part where you talk.
Oh, me? Oh, don't worry. Don't worry, I got you.
Oh, gosh. All right.
Pleasure to be here.
Introducing first on the blue side,
Representing Mido!
They are the new blood of the Middle East!
Please welcome to the stage...
...WISCED!
BYE!
with two of the Middle Eastern players,
they say, hey, Monke Moon, you come join us, right?
So you'd expect him to sort of be the one
acclimating to their environments.
But we're on a stage in France.
Monke Moon was like two feet ahead of his teammates
walking into the stage because this is his element.
And few people of this generation
have more experience winning in this environment
than Monke Moon.
And just look at the resume of all three players on this team.
You have Nobo as well, the 1v1 world champion.
He's the fastest player in this tournament as well.
He knows how to excel, and he's surrounded, of course, by Monkey Moon, the Goat of Rock,
the two-time world champion, and tier K, the Mina Goat.
He's on the screen right now, though.
You heard a few boos throughout the crowd here, which you think, oh, Monkey Moon on his team,
the first Frenchman on the stage, they're gonna be excited about him.
But last time the French saw this man play, he was taken down there,
1v1 champion, Moxie, to be crowned broccoli, 1v1 champion of the world.
Well, he took him down because he plays old football.
He has no sign of this, he has no sign of this, and then he got the two-time.
He hasn't won a land in Paris yet. He hasn't won a land in France yet.
Thanks, you talked about it in your little nervous building earlier.
He's got two in Texas now.
This is the man that probably the most polarizing in every land you go to.
It's either here in France and he gets a hero's welcome, or anywhere else in the world, and they just boo him into oblivion.
Best he's looked since his last world championship win as well.
There's a little bit of a downturn on Vitality,
and now he is back in TRK.
Mina's goat.
Like, he's been with all of the greats of Mina,
and he adds to his resume here with this team.
He's ready a major champion.
Can he get another one?
He was one of the first players, one of the first three
players not from North America or Europe
to win an RLCS major with the Falcons.
They're here on the stage now.
Stacks, take it away.
And introducing their opponents on the orange side, representing North America!
They are chasing the dream run for a spot at the World Championship!
They are Fight Peace For!
And the vibes are strong with Flut, the North American force, and then they absolutely have
to be because you look across the table at Twisted Minds.
Flut knows they are underdogs, but they've been underdogs before.
They battled Vitality yesterday, just barely lost, but they got a lot of momentum from
that match.
And we're talking about resumes.
And we're talking about this guy, Joss, what a resume he has, the greatest goal in Rocket
league history and also a world champion.
That's all he has to do as an eighth result.
Second, I had to think about that for a second.
Sure is second, all the way back in Sweden.
Nothing hasn't been in front of the crowd in a little while,
but he's back playing his best ball.
Show him, Pete.
Do you remember who beat him?
Yes, I do.
I do remember him beat some.
If those are who are new reviewers,
BDS won that one.
That would be the man sitting across from him.
But you got a major champion right here in chronic.
Yeah, this is the gambit that Foot took, right?
They gave up 17 points.
To get those two to build around this man right here and boy, what a performance it has been for 40 sports.
This team is legit with a shot at the World Championship.
But boy, they need a miracle run.
And you look at you look at his results there night through 11.
You'd be like, oh, maybe he's he's not as good as the other two players.
I would say she's is the backbone of this team because how the how positive the energy is on this.
But that determines how good everybody plays chronic and just and they thrive in a positive environment.
Yeah, they're going to thrive as being underdogs.
They're going to be happy to be in this spot here.
If cheese is feeling good, the rest is team playing well.
And after all these roster moves at the beginning of split two,
everyone's still kind of had foot.
It's like maybe they're like fifth or sixth best.
They're probably not making it to the major,
but they proved everyone wrong.
They beat energy a couple of times as well.
They know how to take down the very best.
And again, yesterday versus Vitality, it was a game five loss.
But it was because Zen was doing Zen-like things.
They were so incredibly close, which sets them up perfectly
for this matchup.
All eyes going to be on TRK and Justin in this matchup.
I mean, you could honestly probably
draw head to head through any of the two players
on either side here.
And you've got a compelling storyline.
But TRK, again, one of the faces of the new era,
going up against the last world champion of the old age.
It's just insane, because TRK 1.17 goes for game.
That's a ton.
His goal participation is only 63%,
because Twisted Mind's a scoring that much.
The number one offensive in the tournament by far.
They set a new record on land with 10 goals in a match.
And that was against Ninjas and Pajamas, a very good European team.
So Twisted Minds are firing on also.
I don't know.
All set up cylinders and divas.
Put another side, man.
They're kind of giving me that 22-23 complexity vibe where they go seven against the best,
go five against the best, but they ultimately end up coming up short.
They don't want to be that though.
It's the big test right here.
I think honestly for cheese and his career, he's been 9 to 11 three times.
Now it is your turn.
Is your time, can you truly beat one of the top eight teams in the world?
Well, think about the confidence in deciding,
all right, we're going to give up these points,
but we're going to build around you, where we're going to bring these guys in with you.
So now, now kind of in the back of your mind thinking, all right, it's now or never.
And on the other side with Rena, the biggest roster move of the entire offseason was Falcons,
which Raleigh, and he's not even here, and everyone's like, oh yeah, okay,
Twisted Minds has to pick up the pieces, they get to your aid, they get Monkey Moon,
but it's still the Falcons region. It absolutely isn't.
It is Twisted Minds number one.
I call it the tone there.
You're talking like, oh, they picked up Monkey Moon.
I don't know.
This was a clear second, the hugest Ross removed in me.
The pick up, the same of the same.
It was, but there was a lot of decorum around basically Monkey Moon.
Like last season was not a great split for him.
So maybe he's just trying to see if something works,
but everyone was expecting Falcons to run away easily.
Mina won.
And then Mina too.
Sure, we'll give it to Twisted Minds.
But no, Twisted Minds are the champions of this region.
If we look back at the last time these teams played on land this season back in Boston,
this was the end of the road for Twisted Minds.
They finished top 12, they couldn't get past it.
It was a brutal loss as they had game five losses.
Getting the win here against Flick, they're expected to.
They're the favorites of this matchup, but still it's a step further than they made it
before.
Yeah, and for, you know, we talked about how TRK has not had particularly high goal participation
despite scoring a bunch.
Darn this thing when you've got the 1v1 world champion
on your roster, you don't actually
have to pass the ball, but he can just kind of do it on his own.
And Foot, though, their defense has been good throughout this
form.
Top six, I believe, so it's looking great.
But now they're going up against his high-powered offense
and Twisted Minds.
That's going to be my story, is can you
keep Twisted Minds down to at least just only two goals
per game?
Then you have a shoe.
But yes, because that's how good Twisted Minds is.
like could go from three to two, please.
But that's really what Foot has to try and do
and steal a couple of games in the middle of this match.
That's right, there are some two goals for a game.
They probably lost.
Oh, it's in and there are a top six defense,
probably because yesterday against Vitality,
they had 50 saves in five games.
Vitality shot the ball 69 times.
That's a lot of shots.
Foot only shot the ball 36 times.
So they were just playing consistently defense
and were clinical with their opportunities
that they were given.
The difference between Vitality and Twisted Minds
though, in terms of team composition and makeup,
is that my Tautie, they have Zen, Stizzy's mechanical,
he really doesn't like to shoot too much,
and XO can shoot, but you gotta give him opportunities.
Twist the Mazelow, then Nobo shoots from anywhere,
TRK shoots from anywhere,
and Monkey Moon's been doing it for a long time.
I think what's best hope here in this series
is to try and keep it close,
just to try to play more of a possession game
and get twisted minds feeling a little uncomfortable
to the point where maybe somebody tries to take over,
a little my turn offense,
and you let the egos take over,
And foot takes advantage of that, but boy, I don't see that happen.
Well, folks, let us know who you think is going to win at home.
The aggressive fan boat will make our picks on the desk as well.
Stacks, who you got?
Yeah, I think that's their best chance.
And it's a very, very long shot.
I got twisted mines here.
I think we're back here in 20 minutes.
Let's give it a 4-0 twist of mines.
Is that twisted mine?
Is that good?
I might say foot is bad, but twisted mines
is on another level right now.
Well, I'm going with that.
I'm letting you know they four on a minute. They're gonna score a lot of goals
So we definitely will take a little pop. They like to play and saying that though
It's just a bad I think it's a bad match when it comes to a lot of quality twist them on the Italian twisted minds two differences
The twisted mind just has too much pressure
But they're not gonna be able to sustain that the sustain and that defensive way they were playing yesterday
Give me a twisted minds and give me a man by five thing
I think twisted minds do have all the firepower here and no matter
I don't even think the best vibes will make that big of a difference, but man
Wouldn't it be cool to be wrong about that?
What a what a story would be if just in order to make it a little bit farther in this tournament is gonna come up for
Twisted Minds a complete sweep not even chance things that's what's got this one here. They're gonna be a prayer
Yeah, I mean to come down to the older Justin if he plays like he did yesterday
There's a chance like if you carry that's a thing last time we saw him play there were the glimpses
They were the glimpses, but I mean they got outshot basically two to one and I'll buy a team that likes to shoot
But they don't shoot as much as this other team they're about to play
So that's what it comes down to do you really think that foot in a series
But they probably are gonna get out shot once again two to one and win four games out of set. Hey, but you know what?
They got one people we got one group leaving them as the fans 60 40 then the fan
But everyone wants to see Justin make it further in the tournament. I hope that he does they are on the stage
Continuing on here if they get the win and that's what they get
We're ready for it folks. Halfway through the day. We've already sent two teams home.
It's not meant another story here, but these players, these squads, they are cloaked in glory.
It's Monkey Moon, PRK, Nobu versus Justin, Cheese and Clonik.
Major winners and world champions on both sides. This one for the history books.
Twisted mind versus putting forth life and balance.
Bring this all over the field and the player like T is trying to act his name in the history books.
Twisted mind versus foot. Game 1 watching by for breakfast. James Bond is going to be an absolute barn bustle between these two.
We get to witness a matchup against two legendary players of their era.
For Justin, we saw him claim total victory in the league play era.
He also hits the greatest shot Rocket League has ever seen, but he's going up against the open era goat.
Mokimolo's taken down Justin once before the desk alluded to it, but not the only champion on the field.
Forced TRK chronic, both major champions,
double being 1v1 champion last year.
And we'll see how things have looked so far.
But it's a pretty solid opening here,
but TRK with the double keys there to deny.
But it's been a solid emitting in a lot of pressure.
The problem though, for the group stage,
was they allowed pressure too much.
And then, like defense for most of the game,
they're going to have to switch that up here this year.
And at the same time, we'll look at who they played
in their group.
K-Corp Vitality, Twisted Minds knows how difficult that is.
Coming off their Boston result.
And already, Recy checked in the 1-0 after the score.
And it's good to have the two-first goal of the season.
Look at Klawney, hoping up for the fake to set it up.
And Justin, right into the ball.
He was phenomenal yesterday.
He's keeping it up today.
Yes, you've seen many instances where
Justin is the one taking that final shot.
And he has not let foot down.
It's already got opener here.
DRK looking to strike back.
Noble gets up off there.
It's not Muckymove, Muckymove with a double,
but Justin got a ring on it.
We're already seeing the battle, Justin.
Getting a hand up.
You can win down as well.
Rock start, but you're seeing the limits already being
challenged, twisted minds on the attack against foot.
She's had to get up early for this,
and it's a little awkward, but Justin there to help.
Much more give-o's a move.
Now, I'd be a free baller for Twisted.
Good back pass, TRK.
Oh, that's a heavy touch.
You can use a lot of boost to get here.
We'll play a slow high over Justin.
Chronic, sits on the side wall.
Mucky will warn you to center this.
Justin, able to mitigate departure for the time.
They still don't ball control those.
Twisted mind's working to try to move upfield.
She's stay behind it.
Justin opted to move up to get the mid-boost.
See if he can make that boost work.
Justin now putting it to use.
Who saw CRK trying to land a bump,
but Justin navigated it nicely.
Monkey Boon, oh, on the catch, flip reset.
Forward, air dribble.
Up the ceiling now, G, stretching for it.
He gets demoed, the shot comes in, but it's a week.
Justin hits it off to the side,
G breaks up the shot opportunity.
Monkey Boon was diving in.
Yeah, he needed to get there.
It's still more pressure coming.
And again, even though, what,
how about one goal lead?
It's so fragile, especially if they get one up.
This is a lot of pressure, almost self-licating from Twisted Minds.
Finally, a little bit of space, and Cheese can get involved.
Just going to turn on this. No leaves in for Kronik.
The times of early Twisted Minds, playing a little bit of defense,
and pinch mid doesn't necessarily work out.
Justin actually gets demoed on a play of Cheese, flip reset.
Not enough.
If you knew both, you know, it doesn't get the corners.
It's fun, though.
We'll go for the mid-boost.
And you're seeing, after the early part of this game,
as why Twisted Minds has been able to put up such incredible numbers in one of the best
offenses that we have here.
Number one in goals, number two in shots, number one in assists, number three in shooting.
They can lighten it up.
But this one goal from Foot has been in up so far.
It has been.
They're looking to continue to hold on.
They haven't been able to build off of offense here so far.
and looking to continue to hold on.
I haven't been able to build off of offense here so far.
Now the regime is a little bit of pressure out here.
Maybe Kronik can add one to the total.
That one goes under multiple Kronik though.
We'll be able to play a 50 here.
Justin trying to record up to okay.
It doesn't work, here's the ball.
Here's an open, look, Jesus has to get past here.
They hit the boost, and he gets a good two scores.
Wait, now you need to be looking at this bomb.
Justin had his crosshairs on Nubo.
And it was such an amazing, effective park
that you saw how much pine he's had to even get to that ball.
That was fantastic.
Justin is stepping up on the stage.
Now, remaining consistent.
Everyone going into this one, maybe one side of here
against Foot, but Foot are showing up early.
There you are, but you're right.
You have to be consistent.
This is a marathon, not a sprint.
These best of sevens.
It's a lot of work ahead of them.
Time for twisted minds to come back as well.
We saw what Puria was able to do against NRG
with a three goal deficit late.
Will it be a three goal deficit here?
Crawl that plate block.
Couldn't get it on target.
Still in some blunts now.
Justin going for the fake.
The double tap.
Just on.
And no one was there for the shot.
Estelle, more pressure though.
I think this is seven shots to six per fight here.
Twisted mines.
Now they've been playing on the back end.
Need something more here if they'll pass.
No, that's going to be blocked out.
Good save by Cheese.
Local doesn't have enough boost.
They had a mixed contact.
So they've now chroniced moves that would quickly upfield.
530 seconds here.
Game looks like it's drifting in front's favor.
Right now, Twisted Minds cannot get out of their own half.
Justin,
they stopped defensively.
TRK,
gonna go for a long pass, broken up again.
Foot, they've been so solid, they held up under that pressure.
You know, you know, one last effort.
Funky moving up to 50,
pushing it forward, and that is gonna be game one.
A statement from Foot.
The battle in Justin, the one at the band bar.
What a way to kind of lead the way there, scoring as well.
Justin, 100% took one shot, it was all he needed.
Honestly, a goal participation though.
They could be assist to set up cheese with that bump that
struck back earlier.
Nick needed to give him a game too much for foot.
But the physicality was still there, the threat was there,
and then even twisted minds, they were low boost a lot.
They were but you know there was that stint in the early part of the game where
they had all the pressure and cheese had a really good stock.
Justin also up against Monkey Moon in a 1v1.
Was able to get the stop and then Chucky from you to stand out player.
Yeah what year are we in?
This is incredible stuff from Justin to come out here on the stage and be able to perform.
That was miraculous work and that bump is well that one is it would have been a great
play to break down just to see how effective that bump was.
You're in the first round already.
You know, unfortunately no one else is trained on the sticks back there.
All right, all right.
I think we'll get it.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
But that being said, looking at the way this has worked out for foot, it's a great start
to play in the way they want to, even though they're under a lot of pressure.
It has been shown that, okay, yes, they can break, but they can also show consistency
and even some resilience here a lot of smiles across the board as we get ready to get into game two and
For twisted minds, we are going to have to see some adjustments because it's not the start
They want to get to generate some opportunities, but they just can find the back. Yeah, you and you've got to be able to and who didn't we look for?
I mean monkey moon
Two-time world champion this open era new boat one-to-one world champion here, okay
the first
Meena major title he was the one to help bring that home
Such superstars on this team is gonna take a superstar performance to help get twisted minds over the top
Look back at people to our cave up below that's a great 50 and monkey moon
Just barely enough to make the shot, but he's always been such an efficient striker
Twisted miles with the opening salvo to kick us off and now we have to see footplay from behind
We both challenging off the ceiling. It's a nice one adjusting with there to help
Contested by TRK monkey even a bit slow had to turn off that gives some space makes things awkward
Monkey will be able to pick up the corner boost and TRK is getting it upfield. Did you see a demo in the midfield by chronic?
Well, that's good freedom there, if it does get sent away, still, oh, cheese wants to
pick this up and be able to see a little bit more here as Justin gets some time.
Doesn't play the 50 monkey move so quick though, he wanted to throw that one and throw
monkey move off, but he had to try down every six steps away.
That monkey move, making life miserable in that corner, but cheese does manage to battle
out.
Drop down Justin going for a shot.
It is 50 by Monkey Moon.
And good car placements.
Make sure Justin didn't have a lane to shoot at.
Product turns, of course, the flick out.
50 there, a lot of space here for Justin.
He's going to take it off the ceiling.
That's going to pass Monkey Moon.
He has it up for a flip.
No, he can't get the flip.
It would have been a different fader of the play.
Yeah, like said.
You saw the vision.
You saw the creativity.
It's very clear that Justin is comfortable out there.
But it doesn't matter.
Twisted minds turned things around.
Chronic maybe was looking for a pass,
but ended up giving that one away.
Lovely fake from TRK as well.
Even that one for Nugo,
the defense breaking down after that chronic touch.
Yeah, and this is one of the main things
that made the opening game so important for fun,
because first of all,
this is one of the best offenses in the event being,
number one of goals,
you had 2.92, basically three games,
so you're expecting some offense there early,
but this is what you look for,
adjustments going into game two now how could full response
okay
You down oh a double for monkey moon set that right across the goal line
Twisted mines they're hit a different gear dog shot from crk was fast
One make another 50
Cheese has to be quick. It's over to the middle.
Frank will catch it in the dribble.
Didn't have much boost.
Justin's going to free jump.
It ends up being out of the play.
Now, TRK going for the shot.
And it's...
And Cheese is trying to make the save.
And he's up.
Put that one in.
Yeah, but twist in mind, starting a ramp now.
Look at TRK.
Long boost. Basically, he's going to give his boost for pads.
But hanging back down there.
Full trust. The ball is going to come this way.
And just nails the opportunity.
And you see what folks trying to do.
Justin was going all in.
on that he pre-jumped trying to make that read ended up being out of position out of
goose. She's last one back in a desperate situation. Couldn't make the play and now
a comfortable lead here from Twisted Minds. The desk is feeling very strongly like they
are the clear favorites. Even the coin on board with the Twisted Minds pick.
and it's at home though.
Lots of fans for foot.
Watching now,
wanting to see something different here.
Product, that's like touch kept it close.
So they will play a 50 there,
leaving Monkey Moon last back just in
practice at GRK great rotation before
his cheese to act quickly.
But when there's that boost here,
product got up early and just used it
to play another 50.
That was great for Monkey Moon though,
because even though he didn't have
boost he basically was able to get
two 50s out of that and now he's
It's important so much time and exactly and that's what you need sometimes you need that time for your teammates to get
That will get the position there's a take on the double the shot was immediately, but the pass
Amazing ball movement here by foot. Yeah, you have to think of the double most adjusting you think of me
Okay, Justin, you know, I'm gonna see a shot there. No after cheese
He's taught to put that one on and then just broke the defense down enough.
So twisted mind showing a little fight here, but there's not a lot of time left in game.
Like I said before, we saw Furion do it, maybe Furion can do it as well.
He's old deficit, under a minute and a half to go.
Justin had a brilliant game one, Ryder in game two, there's touch from TRK, we'll get
a follow there.
So Cronix will be credit with the same cheese on the on the wall. We're trying to run in a fierce there
He's got to get out wasn't able to get the bomb now. He has to sit in net
all not going towards the net at all though, so
The free one for Justin hard. Hey looking for a follow there
You'll see in this game
Justin
He's off the ceiling and see people go for double
The foot resets off the ceiling, jumping just powers through.
Muscle!
Look Justin, that's not the world we've had to meet!
Well done!
Now, there's about a full minute to work with a chance for foot to steal this game away from twisted minds.
It looks like they have locked this one in, and one more insurance goal would be enough to do it, or so it seems to me.
OK off the corner, Justin going to go back wall.
Good read, send it across.
Chronic height, the cheese under it.
She's back flip though.
Didn't really have the boost to go for it.
I think it was just the presence.
Now cheese, that's quite 50 with solo boost on the play.
Justin lead charge once again.
Chronic waiting in the wing.
Chronicle get appeased,
but too hot for the best of most of what he's going to look to kill time here.
Justin ball hits away from us right now,
but don't have the possession as we get to the final 10.
And Justin was definitely off the field that's going to slow things down even more, but Justin will be respawned back into the play.
Now, going for a corner pass. Ocarina's double commit by twisted grind, but he's still on the ball.
He's going to try to shield this guy to the ground, but Cheese will get it.
Cheese in the air, reset. Pushes forward. Can they keep it up? Yes, he can!
The game two, we're tied up in the series.
Then look like, right at the beginning of game two, twisted minds made the adjustments.
Maybe they were going to walk away with their skinny.
This game, if you walk away with the series in the end,
what really became activated,
they came more and back,
excellent job from Twisted Minds,
closing that out under pressure.
And you know, Monkey Moon,
he was the one to lead the charge.
He got that goal that activated Twisted Minds
and then everyone got involved.
Twisted Minds looking as a team to get the job done.
And you know, it's heavy,
or as one sided as the predictions were,
I think we might be in for a much closer matchup
here on the pitch.
Just feel a little bit more.
It's a test of composure and honestly kind of a chess match
at the same time here because for Flint,
the Duster like, you know, they're fighting a good life,
so to speak, but.
But they've been doing that all season.
They've been doing it all since they were assembled.
And honestly, just looking at both of these teams,
I love the fact that they were formed
after unpredictable circumstances.
You didn't see TRK coming available.
That wasn't in my bingo card.
And didn't see Monkey Moon going to mean it.
The team with TRK and Nivo didn't expect that to happen.
On the flip side, there was instability for Justin
and Cheese and Cronk.
They were all looking for a team to really make a run.
Off the field is different.
Let's see what this game has in store.
We're talking about circumstances here.
The product of the circumstances
has built something special for both of these teams.
But only one, if you continue to move forward here
in the bracket.
But right now, swing game here on Mansfield
is chronic.
When the foot's opening it up, man,
it's going to get saved by no more.
Solid save here.
You're going to try to go to work off the ceiling.
Stopped out by Justin Monkey.
And back towards the back.
Chronic will try to control it.
It is a heavy shot.
Get to fight TRK.
Get the extra touch.
We both want for a back-past or monkey wound,
but it's a nice 50.
Cheese off the bounce.
Contestant to double commit.
But we both so fast, beats Justin LeBone.
Got there quick, and he's trying to run interference too.
Cheese, brick-tied, Chronicles at a touch spot.
The threat of the bump was there.
TRK so far away from this, but wants to play the beat-off
Chronicle, and it works.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
That's the flip.
The moment.
No, they got it!
What?
We're talking about the three.
You got two in the back.
How do you want to start in this room?
Expect nothing less from the 1v1 World Champion.
Even throwing extra number on there, making 2v1 doesn't matter.
He'll still find a way.
Oh, Nick, that'll get you going.
What a start here for Twisted Minds.
TRK trying to add another one to the total.
Well, this that one's set to Bucky Moon.
Bucky Moon off the corner, has TRK Center passed.
Shot, no blocked away.
Four steam's foot playing again from their own back foot.
Hucky moved the hole.
It went there, takes out two.
Almost got it through for Clonik.
They're back in time.
You can see the rotations aren't just in throw.
Well, they're coming back again.
Look at that.
They just can't get a handle on this play.
She's trying to slow things down,
trying to buy time for people to get back
into their position.
Demo at the midfield.
Clonik by one.
on human off to the side and appears to put half save life.
This will bounce it down and cheese plays it off the back wall.
One to get a buck there.
Bonnet gets a buck out of the play as well.
He was close to the ball.
This is going to be cheese alone.
Cheese misses that, but Justin is able to pick it up.
The indication has to be a strong point here for foot.
Game's starting to get out of control,
and they have to be able to manage this chaos.
And that has been chaotic on defense.
You saw the mix-ups, you saw the double commits.
You got a player like you, but able to pick you apart
and see why foot are on edge.
Jeez.
Oh, it looked like he was setting up to do another one.
James, but defense does get there in time to slow it down.
Just on top of the ball.
You want to see if he can get something going there.
It's been so efficient this tournament,
and being able to bring the team back into the game.
We get that half way mark right now.
Things are not on the side of the foot.
They have been behind the entire way,
but that was smart for Justin Sloan.
Things that might be unpredictable.
That's what Justin has been trying to do.
Take him out.
They can where they can't read your place.
Trying to hand that off.
See what he does this time.
He's got boost around one.
Does both monkey dude off the ball,
giving chronic some space.
The 50 there from chronic as well.
Justin.
Oh, it's getting off.
This is a little bit of wall.
I don't know what you're looking at, but it's on.
We'll pick it up.
That's a nice 50.
Gonna stay on top of it until we get some help.
Just a hot flicked cheese.
Is there quickly?
We're trying to fight for space here in the midfield.
Right.
You back to it for a 50.
Tries.
Kits off to the other side of the field.
Off the corner.
Into the middle.
The shot blocked.
Repound.
Just get it put it in.
Time.
Roll game.
You can feel them just starting to get more space.
They have to fight properly in stone.
The initial shot blocked by Lucky Mote, TLC was on first,
and no one could get back in time.
Great shot from Justin.
He followed his team all the way on that play.
Yeah.
Well, they fought for every inch, and they won it.
Now will they take the mile and get this game put?
They've been playing from behind most of it.
Great search, though, however that shot.
Close call.
You can even see, I think it was on.
TLC went up just kind of trying to sell a potential fake pair anything that could do to throw off but the now strong clearance here
The first the final minute anybody's game foot
We've seen them time and time again just will their way back even when it looks like it's almost inevitable
They give up something they could turn it all the way around cheese wants to be able to do that
As he was one the little awkward here though
Just don't be last back here
He stopped on the back of Bucky Boat and Bucky Boat was up really, but now he's here by himself.
Committed hard, but you saw Cheese was in hot water, didn't get the touch he was looking for.
Nubo already has shown us he can 2v1, likely even 3v1 under the right circumstances,
so you cannot give him space.
Justin on the attack to get the reset.
No, he didn't get it.
Reback up, he's chronic.
The chronic goes for a double!
Double!
Just soft target, safe in the side anyway.
Justin and Craig have to get back here.
Look at this come from Justin.
She's last back full boost.
Justin, great 50 to help him out.
Now it's crying his pants.
Backflip.
He's no stranger to that.
Watch Monkey Moon.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
He's going to throw it and throw it.
And Quaddock was driving backwards.
That 50 perfectly going to Monkey Moon.
That is Game Sense paying off for Monkey Moon.
Read that 50 perfectly.
And in the final seconds of the game
and gets that key goal for Twisted Minds.
I'm sad key because it looks like this one's gonna be over
unless we see zero second here.
Roland's here.
Trump, play, Justin, on top of the ball,
has it on the hook.
He just probably has a flick,
but now Park is gonna get the mid-boost.
Already off the ceiling,
he's not going to try to get it past them.
Tries to, Justin, free jump, there wasn't enough.
Twisted Minds take the lead in this series.
It's two-one and they've worked it.
You know, the MVP of the game
and the MVP of my eyes as well had that rip.
Mark will first goal, bringing something from nothing.
And then the defense, and that final moment
to make sure he could shut that down there.
Gubbo was great everywhere, but then Monkey Moon,
stepping up once again for Twisted Mines.
However, Foot is hot on their heels.
Yes, Twisted Mines lead 2-1,
but Foot has been chasing them down.
And they took that in,
couldn't quite get the whole game to themselves,
but in close.
Yeah, I mean, to be able to have a ball like that to open things up for the scoring just wonders, we have the bounce back there from spring.
They twisted my like you said, finally get it called back and I've seen him back for so many times this tournament.
You know, I'm thinking he's comfortable with that at that point, but the 50 he just couldn't control the way it gets much more awkward trying to get that because the one thing you really do not want to do is have that ball.
that ball. Do what it did. Yeah, a slow roller to the middle that sets up a perfect shot.
That is, that is the nightmare. A lot of times, you know, you try not to jump into the ball,
try to just kill it so that if a shot comes through, it's going to have to deflect off
your car. You just don't want that ball to get away from you, especially into the middle
of the field. But that's exactly what Twisted Minds is trying to do. And that's what Monkey
Moon is playing for. He saw that product was off where he knew that his teammate had the
advantage on that 50 and the rest is history.
Monkey Boom getting the job done so cool, so calm under pressure.
It's what it takes to become a multi-time world champion.
You know, you think about a player like Cheese On Foot trying to get further and further in a tournament.
He's been to these major events.
You gotta turn around.
It has something has to change.
You've been playing a close series against some of the best teams in the world.
And you see how close foot art takes that little extra bit.
But the reality is that on this stage against this caliber of opponent that little bit is
a mountain.
And you think you look on the side of twisted minds, they've all been under those that level
of pressure grand finals pressure, one V one pressure, world championship grand final
pressure.
If there's anyone who's capable of handling the moment, here's Twisted Minds.
This is where they're the most comfortable.
Players look back.
Regionals, yes, they are important, but it's these international events
that you really have as the crown, or the jewel in your crown.
She's looking to find that.
He's had some crazy regional runs, but internationally...
We know he's capable of more, but can he get there already?
We see a kickoff strap from Foot.
Moments like these are what you play for.
What can Foot give us here?
High ball, straight down, Cheese taking his time.
It's a pass one.
With reset, trying to get it past Buckingham who comes through a crash to play.
Defranc wanting to learn interference.
It feel pass.
Yeah, I can't got it.
High ball.
Cheese will get there.
the backs of the midfield and should go straight to monkey mode.
And so before they feel pass, that one gets cut out as well.
But, sort of great job of making sure to, after the time out,
to really interrupt the midfield here.
Put down so far.
There's no dangerous ball pinched off the post enough.
Newbo off the ceiling.
And the first 50 bounces high off the backward again.
She's out of the boost.
Still a dangerous ball.
A tie-down.
Two and up to get this online.
Now the time to play is over. Everyone's from play.
In fact, Zero boost.
Kronik uses the line up and they're trying to rotate back in into the play.
But twisted minds, the pressure goes too much.
Yeah, you can even see on the replay, Zero's across the board.
Reboot.
Oh, look at the big miss.
Hold on, Kronik!
Oh, it's got one!
And we're tied!
Oh, baby, give it away!
What is that?
That is uncharacteristic!
But what will take it?
Wow.
You won't see that too often.
You probably won't see something like that again.
Shocking error.
We'll see if that is the difference in this game.
Or if Twisted Minds can still pull it off.
Nice there for Cheese.
Got a bump on the muckaboo.
Get a little face on those pannick.
She's waiting to go in.
Justin gets a demo, a TRK,
wants to slow down the offense.
Looks like Kurt's starting to take more time.
Feels like they may have been too aggressive in the past,
so they want to be able to space things out,
make the pressure point that midfield more than anything.
Here, twisted mines.
Still not at some position yet.
Just trying to work around this.
will be first of this ball.
Here he stays on the back wall.
Hard boost defended.
Oh, yeah, well, he's back.
This time, this is the first one.
Oh, it's the shot.
I think it's because there was a long line between
Farley and Elmore, Farley could have backed off on the other side.
Give it some pose there.
Maybe a chance here for some karma.
We don't know what's going to happen.
Jesus, that was spot T. I think I'm going to swallow it.
Yes!
There it is.
Wow, we're talking about a roller coaster there.
then getting blasted on that 50 cheese bumped off the ball twisted minds get
one back that mistake white from their members listen it may not be a win but
it strikes through every time ball don't lie moment Justin wants to get one back
TRK will take a dip off the cheese and we'll pray first time to double it for the
Double! Oh, almost got him!
What is this? Gee!
No boost from Cheese either.
Remarkable save, that's going to keep foot in it.
You won't low 50.
He's going for the pass!
He's there! Searching for a free throw!
Up to TRK!
But look at that 50, we're perfect pass!
Now they just able to get so creative.
Great read on where the defense is.
It just moves around and TRK engages full faith that that's coming right to him nails the shot
And I kick off straight here from foot
Right does have the moves the TRK hits the back pass to a full boost monkey moon monkey moon gets a 50
Chronic hits it off to the side. TRK is there 19 boots in the tank
goes for a team pinch
Monkey moon to the center play broken up
Now, but can't get out of here, this is just twisted minds, all in control, demo after demo.
GRK says, no time for you.
Even Monkey Boots getting involved, they're not scared to be aggressive, they're just working.
Another player is going to go, oh, Monkey Boots!
You're going to be treated all for twisted minds.
This is that game sense.
Newbo throws for a contact, but Munky Boone with a quick turn
able to clean up that goal that Newbo is able to generate the opportunity for.
We've seen Newbo be a catalyst for Twisted Mind in this game.
We've seen this side of football forward.
This is not what you're looking for from them.
Just trying to get a good foothold, get a good beat.
It's been tough. It's been awkward. Look, no funnel there.
Kronik in the tough spot. Justin Melrose.
And that went to the top right corner.
This is Twisted Mind's game.
Did he get any good win here?
After the foot timeout, the Amines will fall in
Twisted Mind's series.
What it feels like, Dads.
Twisted Mind's running up the score.
And there's a good reason to do that as well.
100% of the proceeds of the Paris bundle going.
She clears at this event.
And if you could be one of the top scorers,
one of the top players that is making saves,
or making assists, you'll walk away with a big chunk
of that price, or off that bunch of money.
A great reason to pad the stats.
Right now, they're running up the score line.
Cronik, though, will get a big goal for brave the deficit
to three.
Minute 13 left.
It doesn't really feel possible.
Maybe, maybe if they can pull something off our kickoff,
we haven't seen foot running that way.
I mean, a kickoff goal would do it.
And so this one after some cheese,
it will get through chronic, maybe.
Oh, get it straight down, Justin.
Trying to follow.
That's the energy of cheese, wanting to keep alive.
That's not the best touch out of Monkey Moon.
And cheese could have won that.
Maybe there was a chance there, but got down by three.
Giving your best shot off the kickoff.
It's not looking feasible at this age.
Jeez, ground to air.
Go for a block.
Double stay, go for the double.
What a nice save.
It looked like a gorgeous play for Flick,
but still twisted minds, get the stop.
That looked like it has to be a goal.
It's still the defense.
No, the elbow turned it all the way around.
One pitch from Justin to clear it out,
but even then, they killed so much more time on the clock.
This is all twisted minds.
And it's fun for their best counter punch.
They almost came back to hurt Justin.
Shot blocked again with a lot of space behind that.
But just on it now, five taking down.
Twisted Minds, with what this series all matched for.
Twisted Minds are surging.
And looking back on the group stage,
obviously neither one of these teams
were able to win their group.
Twisted Minds came within a game.
They get the job done, but got some very tough opponents
and vitality in K-Corp.
But despite not winning their group,
these looked like the two hottest teams that
didn't win their group coming into this bracket play.
We were wondering, could this be match of the day?
After the first couple of games, it
seemed like what was in it, but Twisted Minds
had put the pedal to the metal.
When you think of foot, and you think
about their performance so far in this event,
and maybe even the potential of how far they could have
possibly, could have popped the gun,
saying as if they're out of the track.
But I mean, after a game like that, it feels like it.
The news burned their time out after the last game.
They come in to the game after the timeout, they get smoked.
It feels like it's over for Foot, but they still
have life left in this series.
We've seen crazy things happen in RLCS before,
but it is going to be a mountain for Foot to overcome.
See some little bit of delay there.
You could see him just trying to figure out some PC things.
So we've got a time for getting to this one.
But what I wanted to touch on here, James, was again, four foot.
Like you said, feels like they're out of this.
But if this is where they exit the tournament, they're not solidified for the World
Championship.
It's again, it's the LCQ.
We'll have to see them there.
If you're wavy or somebody on Virtus.Pro, this is what you want to see.
And I mean, the reality is that they would have had to make it all the way to the
finals to even secure that World Championship spot.
It was possible, unlikely, I think.
The foot they knew that they're most likely we're gonna be in that lcQ
But you certainly want to go into an lcQ with a performance you're proud of they've had some really tough opponents
So even if they go out at this stage against a twist of my look in this group
I think it's a respectable performance
But you know you know cheese with those 9th or 11th finishes he's hungry for more he wants more and maybe
That little tech pause to serve at the time out the foot even though the real time out didn't really have them last night
That's true. Now, Elimination game, what will, of course, bring us Justin from Switched P-Casters.
Talking about, yeah, last night, he really liked how, what he was using, was giving, helping him out mechanically, but now, opting for a change here on Elimination match here.
This is when you pull out every trick you've got, but whatever you get, every strike in the book, you pull it out now.
Tournament light on the line for footy sports.
Oh, TRK!
He's gonna put the first arrow in the coffin!
What a shot!
Tournament light continuing to dwindle.
Beautiful first touch from TRK.
Allows it to keep the ball close and take that shot.
Such finesse. Everyone from Twisted Minds having their moment.
Twisted Minds been great leading up to this tournament.
Now in this situation, they are going to be a huge threat on their side of the bracket.
Justin though, wants to put that shot on just now. No way to.
But he's got him back from behind once again.
That's a B pass one, Justin, on the back wall.
Offs to get it, TRK, he tries to get involved.
But able to bounce it out.
Cheese turned things around here.
This one goes off the ceiling, pass him.
Trying to, off the floor, low 50, but gets away.
And now Justin will look for the ball to set up.
Cheese, cheese!
Oh, shot!
We're trying to recover and get it doubled,
but that shot needed to be on target now.
Test the chronic of the stretch to make that save.
Something that much boost to work with you will still go for a pass,
and that block is bouncing towards net cheese.
Low boost gets back and will get demo for his trouble.
First touch almost trying to get the follow up.
He saw Mucky Moon just drive towards the ball.
Now he's got a flip or set first touch, gets the follow up, but not enough.
TRK wants to keep this one in play, and that touch kind of gets away,
but a little bit of crashing here, but Mucky Moon doesn't need
Move.
Prepare that back to the orange hat.
Dustin, try to stay behind it now.
Down there.
Pop it straight up.
Monkey boom.
Plumped a little bit.
See if that's enough of a product.
Pretty look on this ball.
It's a reset.
Uncontested.
Now, the challenge comes.
First, keeping it back in.
They've been getting demoed.
Left, right, and center.
It's going to slow down the attack.
And now, counter attack here for twisted minds.
Misread from Cheese.
It's awkward.
Everyone's missing.
He's going to be stolen by TRK, but that was a double commit from Twisted Minds in their offensive form.
Yeah, but Mucky Moon is not scared to go out when he sees those two double pitches.
He's done it time and time again over the group stage.
He's now trying to get that group.
Great for Mucky Moon once again.
He's playing phenomenal.
He just has such a great read of the game, and knows exactly when to get him off.
Now his game sense has been immaculate.
Broccoli IQ off the char again.
Mucky Moon getting a big stop there, reading that lane.
Now TRK bumps, 7-0 shot, no, it's off target, bumps it up high, Justin is going to take it as a little bit of room, looking for the bump on Mucky Mow.
Quite a length there as well, so now Mucky Mow is going to take time.
Cheese gets up early, gets demoed though, and it'll get sick downfield, still twisting minds, holding on to the possession.
It's your take right here.
We can sit back to cheese and put the slowly
kind of out of their way out.
They'll be able to just admise and look so confident,
so composed.
They've been delivering.
There's that shot, almost taking out the defense.
But look who's back again.
Another stop from Monkey Moon.
I see it critically.
Come down, who's here?
But still, everyone get a touch.
Got the follow block from Justin.
Right now, all the foot burn, the pool has.
Jesus got the midfield, he's gonna be on the right wing.
Justin's gonna get that boost either.
Twisted Minds holding on by a gland, that's all they need.
Justin got the flips from down the cheese,
and Monkey Boone low-proofs stop a gang.
Twisted Minds holding on for dear life.
It's been quite an assault from foot.
Now the track down pass, the track down pass,
and my Monkey Boone, they came out, getting around.
He's unhappenable!
He's willing to put his eyes to close this series out!
The arcade, he's looking for the insurance store.
Connick out of the woods!
He's open!
He's open!
He's open!
He's open!
He's open!
Cheese!
Licked it into his own neck!
Oh, he was trying to zone out.
Fuck people!
That's...
That's a mistake that is going to cost you.
It was up to you to get on the track you can.
That's a tough one.
Wow.
Shocking there.
They don't need something weak and it doesn't look like it's coming.
Chronic, wait a second. Can you get the double?
Now, Monkey Moon, if Monkey Moon's last attack,
that is an answer to your question already.
And it's my second Monkey Moon.
What a watching to play at this level, at this stage.
With that performance, they are going to be a threat here
in this bracket.
Monkey Moon lets everyone know that this is his era.
He is the coach of the open era, no questions asked,
and he has another result to point back to.
He was phenomenal in this series,
defensively, offensively, he was doing it all.
They called him Thanos for a reason.
He is a boss, a final boss.
He is not where he's supposed to be just yet.
He still has more to do.
His legacy is not finished,
And he's continuing to write it, but for foot,
this will be the end of their parents major run.
And they'll have to look towards the LCQ
for chance qualify to the world championships.
Yeah, but you look back on the results.
If you're just looking at the numbers,
you might think it's a little bit of disappointing,
but look at the quality of the opponents
that foot has to play.
This was still a good run.
I'm sure they're gonna want more,
but for them, looking forward to the LCQ,
I think they can be confident
that they are capable of making a run.
And we will send it to Lee, who's standing by the monkey moon.
Give it up for Twisted Bines and Monkey Moon!
Monkey Moon, I have to ask you,
how does it feel to be back here in front of the French audience?
I think it's a bit of a change in this match.
I like it.
Now, I want to talk about the landscape of everything you guys just have docked out another North American team.
They're having a bit of trouble right now with the world chance also gone.
How do you feel about the landscape of Rocket League internationally now at this land?
I think we're the best in the European team.
I think the NA has a little trouble with the European team,
but I think we're far above the current level.
I think like Mine and EU are the two best right now,
and I feel like NA always struggled against EU.
But this time, I think we're just better.
Clearly, you guys are just better.
I want to ask you about an interesting dynamic on the team right now,
Where we start on one end, not so friendly cheers, come to you, lots of cheers.
Do you think maybe by the end of this you'll be able to convert people over or is this going to be a hard audience?
And now you feed to just you, like people cheering for you after it.
No, I'm very happy that he still supports me, even if we don't know what's going on with him,
because he wants to kill Moxi, it's a little bit more complicated.
But as long as he supports me, I hope he will continue like that.
And thank you again, people.
Say thank you again for just cheering for me.
And I'm not going to be happy about you because, you know,
what happened against Moxi last year in Lyon, but, you know,
when they cheer for him, they cheer for Twisted Mine, and that's just thank you, everybody.
And well, you know what? Let's keep the cheering going down for Malkim Mounen!
Twisted mind!
2-40 by Malkim Mounen!
Malkim Mounen continues on at the Paris Major.
Meanwhile, Chronic, Justin and Cheese make their exit foot e-sports.
They put on a show here.
We were talking as that match started that Justin, one of the only players of the old era
that's still competing in any capacity and really the only world champion at this level.
That guy's world championship before the open era.
And it was a great to see him play, but his story doesn't hear him.
And they absolutely challenged him.
Twist of Minds, those first two or three games, it was like,
all right, Foot, you could absolutely win this match,
but it just comes down to it's a long series.
And it felt like the dam would break at some point
because of no volunteer.
Hey, they're so good offensively,
but they're going to break down the defense.
And then, you know, who's going to clean it up?
It's going to be monkey man every single time.
Bright plays, bright time and just shoots it
into the perfect corner.
And that was the recipe for success.
shoots into the perfect corner exactly we'll see it in the highlights game number three
ball slides out to the middle you gotta place it top right corner that's why the two-time world
champion me and snack talking about it yeah he's the janitor man he just knows exactly where to be
at the right time you know give foot a lot of credit you know they're gonna make a lot of noise
in the lcq whatever the roster happens to be i imagine it'll be some part of this core here
I mean, they battled and they battled and they battled, but there's just too much offense on the other side.
Pache said after put-gun game one, he's like, what did I say?
Seven-five. It's gonna be in five. And sure enough, Twisted Minds never looked back.
They never did look back. Every single game since other than game one, Twisted Minds outshot this team
by at least one shot. Playing game four, they outshot him by eight inks. Two, they outshot him by six.
So it's just too much offense of firepower. That's what I'm saying.
I could play well against Mitality, but Twisted Minds just on a different level, I would say at this point in the season, offensively with their pressure, it's just too much.
And then with Game 5, big mistake, a big own goal as well, it just can't be happened, those, but it was just because of the confusion on defense, because of how much pressure they had to sustain the entire time, some confusion happens, and then when we see Nobo right here, like 1v1 plays, like, no, I'm not going to pass it.
Everyone's got some pass with the back up.
He's just going to take the shot himself.
The slow plays.
Tier-jango bow.
The two pass to the captain of the players
on the field and a chip.
Where's that Mugimon squad?
I don't know what's coming soon.
There's a great play by way from foot right there.
Keys arrowed so early that with the ball back middle
and all three of them are put there.
But here goes Mugimon right corner.
Top right, doesn't have everything else covered.
But it's perfect.
It doesn't have to look flashy.
It's all about the location.
And that was off the outside post and in.
And here they come.
50-50s, and this is what they do.
This came up with a build-up of about 15 seconds,
two 50-50s ball bounce up high.
You actually get an empty net right here,
and you're like, okay, but you're still winning.
And here they come, the barrage is incoming,
bad, right there, from Keegan's bumped out two,
and Tyrannus swaps it on love just because.
It's all about the placement stacks.
Yeah, and this is the game,
I think that he finally felt like their will
was just broken because every pass
that Twisted Minds wanted, they got almost for free.
And it felt like they could have gotten even so much more out of that game.
Yeah, it felt like foot, that they began to just camp on the goal line, but when that happens it opens up that midfield for the pass-in.
And I love Monkey Moon because he put a 0.8 goals for the game, 0 assist.
And that's exactly what a janitor does when he comes in.
He's not going to pass anyone, he's going to finish those shots.
Also 2.8 saves per game, he'll do it on the deep end side, and there is that own goal by Cheese to seal the deal.
Top 3 worst own goals I've seen in a long time.
It was rough and that's when my moves like I got you. I'm in your head. Yeah, I mean it is exciting to become
I mean, I think the cross could be on his favor
I think that when they go up against I believe they play fury you know on their side of the bracket by incorrect
It is versus twisted mines tomorrow very first twisted mind. He saw fury earlier
They ended up with more shots in energy, but it felt like energy had more pressure and period deep
Hopefully in the beating energy off the counter attack
They're going to have to do that again against a quick surprise, I would say.
His offense is much better than our defense.
Hey, those are like one of the best teams in this corner for sure.
Obviously, the tournament has an ending here, so we can't get the full picture here.
But just reflecting on foot's season so far, coming into Paris versus how they're actually in Paris,
do they're in global powering?
Are they turning upwards or down?
Do you feel like, how do you play it?
I think they're impressed with the competition that they had to play against.
There were times when they challenged.
There's a couple things they still have to fix, but if they can make it out at LCU,
I think many people would predict they would make it out of the play-ins tournament
because they have looked so good.
And then they're one of those sneaky group picks where like if they get one upset win
like we saw last year with Wild Card making it through the groups that could be an avenue for play.
Well tomorrow posted mines now top eight here in Paris they'll have that date with Uria so
already an improvement over their Boston results here stacks and they can have a chance to make it
even for the top six.
Yeah and that's a I mean a pretty favorable looking bracket.
Other than the fact that what comes next if they do be fury is a showdown with
Two shutter knots really pretty you've got all target knots over the top
But I think they'd much rather have the lower loser between those two up around two matches
We'll see how deep that run goes folks
We got action tomorrow as well as championship sunday before we crown the champion the paris major three matches down on the day
Only one left to go
And you know
I'm saying right play the honestly, but I'm maybe more extreme watching ninjas in pajamas
I want to see how they bounce back. I mean, I want to see how they got bounce back to when they play jillemays
They got ugly. Yeah, let's say I haven't seen ninjas play yet
No, it was twisted minds in place jillemays
They put up a lot of goals then they give up a lot of goals
They haven't really seen the true ninjas of pajamas. We're gonna see that we better see them against vitality
We don't. It's gonna be a very quick exit.
You're gonna join all the near-airport teams out at CDG by the end of this.
It is their final opportunity.
One of those two teams gonna be going home.
Folks, don't forget about the Paris Major bundles in the shop right now.
A thousand friends and all of the proceeds go to the prize pool here.
It's the one of the easiest ways you can directly support
the Rock-A-League players here as they're competing.
Want to take a quick break.
When we come back, the final match of day three of the Paris Major.
Ninjas and Pajamas taken on Zen and Vitality.
I want to miss it.
Oh, no, this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
L.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 them.
I was right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming 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
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, Motion for Life.
All my words
Tastes so sweet, even when they hurt
You wanna feel, wanna fall in love
You wanna get, get out of love
You don't want to lose your control
Control, I reply and it scares me
I
You feel the love is hard to find
Hurt in your heart, but in your mind
I'm playing with scary
I'm playing with scary
I'm chill, but I don't lie here
Getting in my catchphrase
Cause I played too well
The action continues in Perilla de Fonts Arena here for the Paris Major.
We got one more match for day three and we'll be set up for playoff Saturday.
Which team gets to playoff Saturday?
It will be vitality or ninjas and pajamas. We're about to find out but the surprises
have been many today. Most importantly, I'm still it's still just a wrap. My head stacks are on the
fact that NRG rock only champions of the world are going home. Yeah, this has been a nightmarish
start for northern barrier space station to care of business other than that.
Near airport, by the way, 26 and a half kilometers exactly that way for anybody that was wondering
if they need to get to the airport.
And I thought I was the hater of N.A.
I was like, well, I would say honestly,
SSG getting the winner of the beauty page
means it's not a disastrous day.
If we had lost all three of the matches we had today,
I'd feel that way.
I think the way that we lost, you know,
the way you lose NRG, the way they lost that series
where it just felt like everything's just so uninspired,
right?
Like this was not the normal NRG at all.
All the credit to Furia because, you know, Furia is a team that has been moving in the exact opposite direction, and they have reversed course brilliantly.
You know, we finally got Bad Man Yan back on land, but, you know, watching those two series back to back, if you're a North American fan, it's a little tough to be excited going into the rest of the weekend.
But if you're a European fan, boy, do we have something to store for you.
I don't know, as a North Korean fan, I'm still pretty excited because first
killer's looking pretty good.
He's looking really good.
And they have a good sign to be up a bracket as well.
Rebellion man city, whoever comes after that, looking great.
You say that, but let's man city.
Oh, no, man city is good.
I'm done sleeping on the last seat from Europe.
I'm not going to make that mistake again here, folks.
We got two up around matches to start some things tomorrow.
Carming Corps versus Gentleman's will be the first match of the day.
So if you want to watch that one make sure you are here in your seat or you got twitch pulled up
You can watch also kind of the fans watching on tiktok man city versus rebellion will be playing as well as twist of mind
Which is furia and then space station versus the winner of our final match today. Yeah
We got two European teams left and I feel like uninspired might be the word for both of these teams as well
If they're vitality the highs are not the same highs that we saw on the online split outside of Zen
who looks fantastic. And then ninjas and pajamas had a tough day yesterday. They had two tough opponents and they did not show up for either of those matches. So both these teams kind of on the back foot. Let's see which one will bounce back here. We'll see. We'll see. So energy, the obvious big story of the day. Well, so we feel like we've learned so far from our teams that won or the teams that lost. I thought I was thinking about made in Brazil. I asked you this question earlier about footy sports of like, where did they go in your power rankings? How do you feel about made in Brazil versus what you thought about them coming into the term?
Definitely a little more down on them. I thought they'd be really better at the plan honestly because just their offensive firepower is lacking.
They're playing a lot of defense and defense at this stage of the
Rock League just does not win championships. Offense does. That's what you're about to see from a team like Vitality.
That's what you just saw from Twisted Minds.
Consistent pressure.
Yeah, and when you are the number one team and you get outlasted by the number two team from your region,
then yeah, I think you have to kind of start looking like
put them down a little bit.
For sure I understand the perspective there made in Brazil though
What if we make it all the way to the bracket here and put up a fight there at the beginning of the day folks
We got one more match here snacks time for the Friday. All right, let's do it. Let's get into it
of the day
We have ninjas of pajamas the EU foreseen mostly because we haven't seen them peak just
yet we have three two-time regional champs in Europe and ninjas of pajamas is not one
of them they've been to multiple grand finals though and they just fall a bit short we saw
that in the Copenhagen land as well they need to take that next step that next
elevation to their game and let's see if they do it we all know when they peak
they are so incredibly deadly that's how they get to those grand finals but it
hasn't come all together in a full weekend just yet and according to yours in
his interview he said they're older but he is on his game he's a top three player
in the game I say yesterday I have not seen that yet once but it's saying that
only is a great player and when he is on he makes plays happen I really think
He's the question mark. He's the missing. He's when he's going they have changed to be fair only has been statistically
Great so far in this century. He has been the offensive leader CRR. I think he's still kind of coming onto his own
I think I had a lot of people had high expectations for him coming into Paris the crowd maybe not so much
What did he do to the Torrents?
What?
Am I missing something?
I don't know.
He's not vitality.
It's really what it comes down to.
But, you know, again, talking about, you know,
Jory is making that kind of bold claim about Ole.
It is a bold claim, but you like having that confidence in your teammate.
Well, I mean, you do.
And now, honestly, looking at yours,
he kind of had a step up last year going all the way to Grand Final.
You want him to get right back to where he's at.
Stacks, I think we've made them way long enough.
Let's get the golden bees on the stage
The organization had a foul year last year as a rebound and they replaced the two-time
world champion Muckingham and they had it's busy and consistently beginning better and
better throughout the season making it all the way to the grand final of the last major
of the Intestine yesterday against Ft.
But then they have the best player in the game, his name is Z-E-N and he doesn't play
around.
fans of the world too this is why we come to France for moments like this the
golden horn of skin behind there
you don't even need to ask them to do anything this crowd has been locked in
for this one match all day long and finally the main event is here and of
of course, Zen, the goat here on this roster.
He's the poster boy of Hill of Rockin'
and he is the new era.
This is what people look to.
You know, he's out of the world giving a lot of cheers.
Had a rough group stage.
He is the lowest scorer game of all players here,
including the teams that have already gone home.
So, it's out.
Needs to step up.
I mean, when we talk about land boys,
it's exotic, yes, but he's a world champion for a reason.
He's a sniper, and he's coming to his arm on this team.
Not good.
Well, yes, well, for things that was last year,
Then with exotic he's really been making this mark much moments what mechanical plays opening up the space
Oh, yeah, he was my breakthrough player of 2025 that led taking tasks to the EU two-season. He's here on by telling now because
Well, yeah, and there were a lot of questions of course about all the roster changes coming into this European split season and
Sissy I think was one of the bigger question mark. You're like, okay
How is he going to fit in with this team?
But like a plus he has been he has taken over at this first match as well
I know a lot of eyes around Zen, but Stizzy has been outstanding and here's your match up here
It's old versus Zen the jury said only kept me top four in the world balls and he's tough
He's not number two. Yeah, we'll see what happens here. So right now only 60% gold for transmission
But he's getting a lot done
Oh, he has great numbers a lot of that was farming TSN as well
Yeah, put up tons of votes in that series
So that's where he gets a lot of those up front when they play tougher opposition
didn't happen those numbers also came in a four game lost to carving corp as they got
Blasted by the blue wall and yet he's still putting up numbers that strong vitality
They have struggled to establish themselves as the number one squad in Europe. They are the number one squad
Mathematically, but still the stats just get it feels like with farming court
There's some of the opportunities where the pocket person would get it over the top of the plate.
The moment you go international, they are indomitable.
Correct.
But we're not international right now. We're in the regional.
And that's the good question.
Because NIV struggled internationally yesterday.
We did not win a single game.
Dominated by switching minds.
They didn't get dominated by rebellion, but I guess what by rebellion?
But now, they're kind of consistent against my title.
They might have won the last two matches against them potentially.
They've got the thought that, yeah, but they never get that big win when it matters most.
They haven't won any of these regionals vitality in split two.
Got two regional wins to put them back on top of Europe and on top of the world.
Yes, they lost the cake warp, so they had it dropped out to this little bracket,
but everyone knows cake warp is going to challenge with that title.
So vitality just has to figure it out right now.
Ninjas and pajamas really struck me as that team that has always been the team of great expectations,
of great potential, not great results.
And now we're never.
We've said that already once today.
Now for Ninjas and Pajamas.
If not here, wait.
These two teams have played twice this season.
In open number four, first regional of this split,
they met in the grand finals.
Vitality walloped them four to nothing.
Oh, they didn't get the birthday.
The last time they played, it was Ninjas and Pajamas
taken down three to one in open number five.
So, Chad, let us know who you think
is going to win it here. This is the best of three basically. And this one matters a lot more than the other two. You lose this one. You are out at the Paris Major stacks.
I mean, I could sit here and build up some suspense. But let's be realistic. Is this team losing on K-Dubb's birthday? Absolutely not. I got two Vitality.
They got the birthday buff, they got the Zen buff.
I just feel like Vitality, like Exotico, has to play better.
He barely straight through throughout that group stage.
I think he will play better though.
In part of the crowd, he's a world champion MVP.
I think he proves it here.
Vitality gets through.
I'm keeping it real simple, man.
They have the best player in the game.
I'm going with them.
Leal, Leal, Leal, Leal, Leal.
Vitality.
Come on, give it to Vitality, man.
I mean, they got the birthday buff.
Look at the crap, look at the Z-Bots. These are super reds as far as I'm concerned. Vitality all the way.
I heard it do it in a million, it doesn't matter folks.
And what to see? Does the coin change it up? Or do we get a full yellow desk here? All of us think Vitality's got it.
The coin thinks the ninjas might have a chance to win.
No, nobody likes them.
No, but the gentleman fans, they love it when they're...
There's a few people that are excited to see somebody support another way.
And then to the stops again.
They won this the last time they played it.
And it was not going to go.
Sure.
Right.
That was the one open that by Towney looked a little shaky.
But they won over four.
They went over six.
And he just brought up that it was the grand final
for Vitality one.
Stakes are hot.
I'll see if I can get it done here, folks.
They are the fan favorites in the building.
They're the fan favorites in Chapman.
I think the largest fortune of the day in the world.
Chance played today, folks.
These guys are popular.
All right, folks.
Final round to the day, of course!
Resane the Zegglass.
The Ninjas have one final opportunity to prove themselves in Paris,
but next opportunity is their greatest challenge yet.
Only one can continue.
It's the ninjas in pajamas versus my palities
to close out day three of the Paris Pager.
It's such an easy concept, but running it off is a completely different thing.
Last time we were in France, it was the natives of Pagana's that eliminated Vitality,
before we even made it to playoffs.
Hercule's game were raunchy but aggressive.
This time, they won Intermediate.
The brain that we've all been waiting for is vitality.
I'm here, but you've got to prove me as the rest of the world is wrong.
Off the kickoff.
It's dizzy.
This is a play that we really want to see step up and leave the chart,
but it's going to be an exotic off-back.
What's your turn?
And it took no time.
What so ever?
Vitality, promptly off, and put their best look forward, and both these teams are so momentum focused.
This could go 4-0 either way, and it's an awful mistake! Vitality shimmers their best, and then they show us the rest.
CRR places this one to the back where it goes rough, clear,
formic, exotic, and an easy cleanup from none other than Jorius.
NIP is very familiar with this Vitality roster.
They've met up five times before this.
Vitality falling four at their feet.
One to one, all pick up, another bounce up,
there's a follow trying to waterfall it down.
It's a shot denied from NIP.
Now, only he's got a lot of boost, so he wants the 50.
The position here for Excalibur, he's got plenty of time.
Ciara on the way.
Two Spaniards on the field.
One of them got a considerably nicer reception than the other one.
And Scythia, all the kind into each other.
Ciara gets rid of it.
Zen so far, not on the ball.
Excalibur tries to land on it.
Scythia, I should challenge from him.
Takes the first-time shots.
And his compatriot just gets rid of it.
I like where I'm staying from Vitality too.
They're playing this one a little bit differently than what we've seen in the past.
Folding Zen a little bit further back until needed.
Nice little hand up there from Vitality to slow Sierra on her down
into the center from Stizzy, trying to break Vitality out of their half.
And by Zen it's just part of the third man at the moment.
I feel like this is gonna be a little...
There we go, there he is.
Off the demo as well, goes up the ceiling, nobody available psych.
An immediate shot.
Stizzy, you're further from here, exotic, call it in.
Will you put it back? Pass?
Ten will... go round one.
It's past a second that's an outright whip there from NIP.
Don't let me see any of that!
Could you give up on the show?
Show them the way, Stizzy!
Ten with a clean 50 into the dead ball.
Stizzy double off the side.
Vitality are here to fight.
The team that's needed to rebuilds are very disappointing 2025.
They've been rebuilding ever since they won that world championship.
Went from there, won that, thought we were going to be seeing a Tomlin and Aira from
there.
Went to flip and sit there and then somebody goes, oh, what a save!
Stizzy, look at the track, keep this going.
Can't find it in Fields.
MAP are holding on.
Now on the break.
Great! CRR! Time! Backboard! Double! Leaves it!
What an absolute banger of a play! Look at the patience on this front!
Holy, this is why he leaves the team in Goldberg game and also holds his own in the assists!
Perfect communication between the two! Tired! Gay!
Yeah, that's so disciplined. Don't take the shot, you're gonna sky it!
two H something not lacking for goals you get to see quite a few of these
inter-regional matchups as Sissy probably makes the shots be available
it's not like last man back oh what has he done there all right well it's not
going to be punished for it everything's a okay nothing to see here
you can feel as I keep wanting to just roll themselves at this ball
trying to make some sort of frustration for Vitality out of the man and so far he is able to do show
it's this he loves food, Vitality working together, he's trying but here comes Gully again!
Matt on it was said just going straight past the ball. Nerves! Visible here for Vitality.
Still two each, still two minutes left to play, CRR beat 150, also wants a little bit of support, does get it.
Oh, he goes away, Jorius.
Now take over to his part.
His part, he puts a 50-50 Stizzy.
Look, his teammate doesn't get it.
CRR.
Midfield.
Oh, he's going outpaced.
Looking for a block.
Tuckets him up on him, but Nelsen's going to want to commit too hard to this play,
and no, he doesn't.
You're approaching his final 90.
This is where NIP's really going to start to ramp things up.
Here comes Jorius, loses his concentration.
The moment with the ball there is then just going to clear it off field.
Small miss from Sierra Armour has the time and space to work with.
Center for the Porter, shot, taken off by Oly.
Here comes Exotic, one turn after the other, vitality holding the pressure.
Exotic!
Everybody was convinced in Fields.
Look at this, they're covering it.
They think they're going to go that way.
Instead, just try and take the shot from an impossible angle.
Exotic is a player that we've all wanted to see step up her shoulder long doesn't in a much needed moment
That minute 13 started to count down vitality
Don't hold on here. Let's send quarter of a take to work with on this take away
Sit on into the orange back past the boom it forward double demo in the back end
Could this wave of vitality defense?
One minutes said reset good enough on the challenge
Exotic's on his way. My talent is he's been sure they don't get in their own way a little bit here.
That's that little self-pass there from Zendemo for his trouble.
So he'll be back in just a moment, strapping into a full cart, only not a good touch from him.
I do feel like Molly has really struggled here in Game 1.
Got a little uncharacteristic display from him.
Very good showing last time he was over at France.
Well, brave of the many to try and take it out late.
Listen, have you been able to take down Vitality more than once in this case four?
I would expect that level of disrespect to their defensive line,
but for now, Vitality holds their lead.
Eight seconds left to go here in this game number one.
Five on the clock, only up in the air, over one.
Take a touch, two is up the target space.
Flip, go to the side.
Decide, this could be the ground, but it's still locked in the play.
And I P-Bounce it to the center.
All is going to have to be the quick confidence stand in Sandbrill.
I'm sorry, I can't walk.
Explanation point.
We were supposed to be scoring in zero seconds.
Quick, it's not you.
Vitality take game number one and said, well they're talking about Jessica Pickey was averaging like 5.15 per game.
He just got 5.96. He's above his average.
He's pushing for more. If he wants that 600, he wants to go gnarly. I love what we got out of him.
And also, I love the way that Vitality is bringing Xendu this series.
Most of the time when we watch this head to head,
the reason why Todd seems to struggle from what I have seen
is Zen feels this overwhelming power to do everything.
They happen by play in the kindest way on a leash.
They've got him playing for the back, he's her man.
It's a different story and it's cool and sharp.
I think it's also like Zen's own choice on a lot of the whole time.
I think that is a person we can be levied against him of.
When he doesn't trust his team, you can tell, because he doesn't leave his side of the field.
Yes.
Unless it's absolutely so, he's going to get involved.
And we saw a bunch of that at the start of this game.
We saw another Zen, where he just, okay, he's dizzy, exotic.
Do you want to go and do that?
And then we'll worry about the rest of it.
But he settled down, became a lot more involved in the gameplay after that.
Still, mistakes from both sides need to get rid of those.
You could have said that all of them, all right, all by your peaks.
Well, that's about the proper rest of it.
It's gonna be fair coming into this series.
The bar is pretty well for Vitality.
Taking that game one win is a pretty big deal.
And again, like we said in this head to head Vitality,
the only time they beat an NIP was a four,
all it was a clean game.
Little save we're hitting the back and forth,
or if Vitality can take this game two momentum,
Mike stay in the savers, center off the corner,
tries to make a setup, instead it's big clear for NIP.
Move straight back to them, oh he's got 100 boosts and he's on his way.
Really need him to find his way into this series, not the greatest game won from him.
That's a ground good 50, who's up next?
What about that second man in this series, who is the faster, who believes in their teammates more?
You got a medial for the bag, more to CRR? Anyone got a 50 yet?
No, so he's gonna go hunting for them instead.
And then the back end of things too, I've seen Jorius multiple times head hunting vitality,
slowing them down from cheating into their side.
The CIV is backing down now about the base, for now it's going to be CRO.
Albert uses everything he has to just keep possession for now.
It's not it, already taking charge.
CRO did a good job just disguising that he's completely outboost.
Yeah.
Last time, must they?
That will be saved!
And now CRO, try to find a break.
10th boost to his name, but nobody's challenging, he's done very well here though.
The lack of support, maybe the lack of any of the expectings he can get that far.
Sissy said to reset his zone, a lot of their dribbles into challenge.
If I tell her to be more than happy to play that game at the moment.
Torres back on, couple of demo attempts, but where's the full-on?
A little too late.
Oh, we were trying to mess with them in net, and Sissy being handed off this ball over to the side here.
Another shot, just a bit high.
into that corner there, but that's not gonna slip the Vitality pressure down.
You see the lead. Vitality's 18 turns on the rotation out,
this time they're gonna play it back to their sides,
suspecting NIP being able to get out of their path.
And I feel really lucky to demo this, not having too much success.
Steezy, that's one.
Able to get a clean down of 50 on the second.
Not sure he has outpaced them entirely.
Love it!
Just too relaxed there from Vitality, not anymore.
No, wait! What's that? He keeps it out!
But now, an unpaid need to wait, John, because now the glocks are set, taking his time, looking for goalkeepers.
Now, it was a fine day.
Jorias has been such an impactful player on his end of the field, a little bit quieter in terms of getting his name called out,
but he has helped in such clutch moments.
He saws that on the other end, trying to start something here, and said Vitality will roll themselves on back to their side.
Here comes CRR 50 forward enough.
Snizz is gonna try and take this away.
He dies 50 back in the other half,
and he first second half of the game completely shorless.
That's a great set.
From Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
Exotic!
So, center-touch.
He managed to convince Jorius that it was gonna bounce towards him.
He went the wrong way.
Stizzy.
And he straight back down.
Too exultant.
Takes the bounce.
Wants to keep going up high, but CRR can just go that little bit higher.
NIP, I think, needs to change the game play on this.
It's too much individual performance.
And they've not been able to match it so far.
Now, Zed looks to dance with everybody.
But just too many dance partners.
Another shot down on goal line here,
and another one taking towards the net with NIQ one by one.
Taking each challenge successfully,
although he thought it's gonna have something to say
about it here, up the sidewall of Stizzy,
40 in the tank, see how far I can carry it.
No one's got it sticking down,
and you're trying to get the follow-ups here,
but it is fairly low boost,
but that's not gonna stop him from taking a shot.
They're out, Jarius.
Gonna hear Hope, and his hope's not only
he's got a 100 boost, got that,
Then the Shox!
Fatality, how could you just get back one time?
Not really prioritizing the third man anymore.
Makes sense, that has been the target.
Faked from Zed, now trying to find a teammate.
A little bit harder, maybe.
Goats, as dizzy into trying to take the shot,
that's a massive type of exotic.
Zed will be the last one back for a little while.
Does have support, as dizzy as he did that.
One demo, it's 3-2, at least for a moment,
but Zed does well enough,
and Gersha musty it away!
But it's on target, isn't really the best since probably still.
The musty and off, the granted you still gotta keep in your mind.
But Caldy is holding on to that one goal lead.
As much defending as NIP's been able to do, we gotta get some shots away from them.
They haven't been able to connect.
This is one of the better moments though, they're holding on to possession for now.
So long as Zen can't have anything to say about it, don't commit.
But it doesn't matter, but Caldy still continues to push this ball forward.
Exotic on his own?
Oh!
Question him now!
Exotic! Here's the question!
But, reset!
They're both on! I'm just taking the chance!
Vitality have come into this series with a vengeance!
Two nil, 18 seconds, potentially to make it three.
And Jorias carries this one down.
Another challenge from Zayn.
Stizzy drops the boost spot, eight seconds on the clock.
And I think I've made the whole very play now.
Not the very play that I could make at the moment.
It's calling for the time out early.
By 32 in game in the match.
Maybe get one more for the road.
I feel like second, zero second goal of the series.
Neither of them have been really all that impactful.
No, not quite. At this point, they're just a cherry on top of a really good game from both ends.
I got a hand. It's too exotic. I mean, you pointed it out when we saw them doing the walkout.
It's different. You rarely see exotic stepping in front of a team.
And for those of you who think that there's no impact on it, there is.
And it means something to put someone in the middle.
An exotic taking MVP on us for this game too.
Leading the charge.
There we go, that was the last stop though. I mean, Oski's got to play everything there.
No shock. Interesting pajamas. We'll be taking their time out.
I think I saw this just doing very well. He's the player that's getting the time at the moment.
Very rare, but he's getting that little moment where, okay, I'm not immediately challenged.
I thought the usual exotic takes the shot first time.
This exotic is smacking things.
He's got a few ideas for himself, and he's executing on them.
Watching this vitality out of the five different times I've been able to,
this is a much more mature version of their play style.
Now, granted, on the other end of things,
IP still putting up the numbers to show us and remind us that they were in
charge CRR well over 700 points in this last game although unfortunately it
meant nearly nothing. Yeah a lot of those were saves and maybe the most backhanded
compliment in Rocket League is well that seems play some really good defense.
You should be pleased. It means you're not doing well but we're proud of you.
Yeah it means that the boys on the wrong side of the field. Yeah Mike want to fix
That's some time soon a lot of things getting fixed in the moment
These are my job is
the coach LBP
Australia on CDC just lads
But it's party time at the moment for vitality
Mixed results over here in Europe. That's all of cram themselves world champions
Leon and also team in front of them
around to boo every other team that was French. We really appreciate them for that, but this time around
they've got theirs and they're going to cheer them all the way.
I'm sure you guys can all feel them at home. I love that we don't go to the Jellemates and Casey.
You know they're not even up on this one. This is vitality's home.
They want a different story, friends that seem to always belong to Zen and they're hoping to claim Paris.
On that road to another victory, we got game three.
And then Magdala's need to change the way the speed plate.
It's too much down to the air dribbles at the moment.
We better start with yet another one here, Stizzy.
We kept reason, but he quiets.
But my issue right now is the air dribble for Magdala's is their second map is not the quicker.
So they're always trying to chase up.
I got from the same way as Zen's chasing after the ball that just got away from him.
It's busy. Passed the ball, takes the 50 on 2.
There comes Exotic in immediate challenge, but a little bit of time and Zen's on his way back.
To clean B, but Jorius, ceiling reset, has got early downfield, only second for goalkeepers.
But the first match, that challenge is too good.
Right now, NIC's game plan has been to send somebody forward headhunting.
that line of defense forcing a little bit too far back
and trying to slow the vitality down on their initial challenge.
The games they have to change.
Otherwise, you're going to continue to get the same results you did in games one and two.
The problem with that is we don't actually know if they're fighting bumps or a demo,
it's good the ball doesn't get far enough.
What's the play going to work?
Well, there's not going to be a shot.
I'm talking to Chef, so how are we supposed to know?
It's unfortunate we don't have any inputs in the field or drafts.
They're not going to quite make it to that ball.
They take your tick, wire us away, and he's on his way back, okay, well, this isn't defense.
At least there was a new idea to getting rid of exotic, if you bump them off...
Oh!
They're saving his way, he has to wait down the spills of this cage!
He knows it's not the time, it's space and the finish!
Vitality is not going down!
They're sweeping him aside at the moment!
Vitality, the number one seed from the region,
are proving to NIP why that's the case.
Stizzy, how are clear from him?
Whatever was said during that timeout, it's not what...
What's said!
He is him.
Said, back on land.
Showing even the people that he is falling to.
But that is not happening here in Paris!
Is that now on its way to the wall? CRR pre-jumps? Don't spoil events!
This one even sends, actually, glassmen up to his own such fake-cowarding blood!
I was gonna break the door!
Leave me alone!
Stingy! With a double spank!
Bring out the vitality!
There's got to be an all leak on those cars, because they're slip slip slipin'.
Vitality are dispatchling the European rivals.
See, I'm asking you something, even that's not going to work.
Stizzy on all the England field after the double bank goes on his end.
It's the same, it's a clear out for vitality.
And Zed just making sure that ball does not get out of the blue.
Finally, a breakaway for NIP is the best chance, but both lines of defense will run vitality! Remain!
Stop!
I hope you got your invite! It's party time for vitality!
You can try and bump him up the play when he's still going in!
Shadowmates fans, KC fans, the hate watch isn't working!
You're gonna have to wait till tomorrow at this point.
Four-nil, and we just hit halfway.
What do you do if you're NIP? It's getting worse every single moment.
They're absolutely crumbling.
Oh, that's the one you don't believe in.
Okay, stop, it's a good case, isn't it?
That one felt personal. Ninja Pajamas, well that's about as close as they've got to good news so far.
So exotic, not going to go by himself. He's got a 10. Oh, Prince of Paul.
On his way in. Stizzy. Sidewall skip. He's passed 2.
Well, Ninja Pajamas, I hope you've got some kickoff plays ready.
You're going to need them because time is running out.
They can get something, but they're just not hitting the ball.
Phytasia playing great! Nature-man job is, can't get out of the road by!
The one who comes through, and Stizzy's off the ceiling, even under a loose thumb, this will fit me all the way into the other end.
Sierra was waiting for the collect, but he's got to get over plans by telling me how comfortable, four-ball lead,
and like we said, and I feel like if I find something here, Ty, he's running away from themselves!
Stizzy, looking for the scam, can't quite get it.
Maybe here in the back of the field, that might have worked out well.
Hey, for a different time as there's the first.
Okay, time to really flick through the notebook.
Kickoff play number 97, that might be the last one.
The track 36-2 player from NIP to completely commit on the play.
To move her out of the way to be able to sort of shite and just state something.
About the level vitality is that off kickoff down to only if Jorius should have been up already
He still manages to get the fear on Stizzy by using everything in the tank
Only off the crossbar, one button hit, and it's set off!
But Jorius, he died!
I can't go off playing now, he said it was actually pretty good
Just have to come into it, you're really out of time anyway
Masera, off the top!
It wasn't about anything, work out!
And I see you are showing you can do it with your full commitment on the play.
A family lossy from Stizzy means nothing more than vitality still is in charge.
That could be another one.
Not for the Stizzy.
You know the rest.
It's not in Stizzy an absolute power couple right now.
Double off the back of his car.
Just really showing an idea who is boss.
If there's any hope here, it's gone.
5 to 1. Timeout used. A reverse sweep required in front of a hostile crowd.
Apart from a few pockets.
CRR track gets something for the road, maybe add another 0 second goal to a mark. Oh, come on, let's get the third.
There's Jorrius at the turn. Alright, so this one's definitely going to kill him there.
In supercharmis, he can be history makers.
Hopping out, the chance could be flipped out in his tournaments.
They told him he knew what this battle was.
Last night, they clearly came into this one with a game plan as a history.
Absolutely will not repeat itself here on land.
716 points to Stizzy alongside MVP on her. Five shots.
This vitality team, like I said, it's such, it is, it is a much more mature version of themselves in this head to head against MIT.
They understand who gets to go forward, they understand who is popping off and when that then shot.
I'm waiting for the double pay
Absolutely disgusting let me hear you by telling
I love her a half a second.
What, like, Talbot fans are chanting for that one, so maybe just very positive.
They're just happy everybody's happy with it.
Maybe a room for maybe three people at the moment.
For NIP, a very long road ahead.
Four in a row.
Twenty minutes of the best Rocket League you've ever played.
Nothing else is good enough.
This is the vitality that has held the standard.
The reason why they have so many fans
Stays the air dribbling down off to the backboard.
There's the fall from Zen takes his shot.
It's slow.
The slow is down!
Vitality take one!
The slow-ups are destroying NIP.
Every single time they think this is going to be an immediate shot,
Vitality called their jets. Just take a relaxing stick down and say I'll take this shot when I'm good and ready.
Vitality is such a new level of confidence in this head to head and I can't stress it more than enough.
They look incredible. It's NIP's game to follow. They try to go for the center play on this one. Completely red out back into the corner here.
here pressure still can be sustained another shutter but no follow and I
need to see me snake there nothing works because guess what it usually doesn't
for them okay there's a little bit of something only back down to get a
reset blackboard who's around for these supplies
no real belief that my title will make a mistake nice pass those CRR pop leaving
it for his teammate in comes only but it just takes too long by time he can set
Now the 1v1 on the Jorius right here, Jorius, touch plate as you aim, works out for him, can they get the ball cleared this ball?
Even when they were able to knock Vitality off of it, stays back, and finally pass the line.
Exotic that I committed on this, this is gonna have to make quick cut, he does.
Bump off a little bit of recovery, but that clear is great for Vitality.
down, Chorius needs it again, but not quite getting the outcome that they're after at
the moment. Just over three minutes left, NIP have at least steadied this series for
the time being. Without demo, the third man can't come in for the shot, although Vitality
miscommunication. They might be able to just recycle this NIP and go again.
Nice little pass over there too, exotic will see. What Vitality can do here, even on no
boost, this shot is still a threat. Double off the corner, very weak clear. We're gonna
have to pinball it around but Vitality cuts it off right at midline.
It's actually a pre-jumping more often than the regular jumping.
Torious, moving clear and it's exactly the demo.
I just make that somewhat awkward for Stizzy.
He's there.
Just hits him down the field and look at that.
He's only got hit by the ball more than he actually hit the ball himself.
But he is past two.
Chance to try and break.
Exotic on the trip.
That just takes away all the momentum.
Still one nil.
Still a chance here for an IP.
They definitely do not count NIP out of this.
They hit that zero second shot before, not when it mattered most, but now could be a different story.
Floating around by melody off the backboard. Can somebody take it?
Jorius is going to have to go and collect it out mid.
There's a demo that could open up some space for him.
Takes his time, had to flip it, but Stizzy even on low boost.
Disrupting all of NIP's plans.
Yeah, well I found it exposed by Charlie. She was too good at the moment.
Every time they go, usually just get to play starters, only going down to a CRR.
He's good to it, but on the right wing now by Tarantino Exotin, he's just always on the spot.
They've been pressing the backboard so far.
There's performance to this point from NIP.
Reston, they've had some deep wrestling playing place and time.
What are you even doing?
Pretty sad.
Just takes the shot, actually, I've got an answer for you.
Just watch, because that's all you're going to be capable of doing when you defend against this guy.
This version of mortality is absolutely disgusting.
the whole organization already completely depleted on the resources that they have in the place of me.
Unbelievable.
Vitality have marched over the European rivals.
world champion, exotic world champion,
stizzy two-time major grand finalist, doesn't sound right, does it?
He wants to go further, he wants a major championship.
They keep playing like they talk, who's gonna tell them no?
There's not one person that's gonna be able to stay in their lane and
hold themselves at this level of play.
43 seconds of the clock mentality jettling all of NIP out the way.
CRR giving them some hope in the final moment, but this ball staying in bloom could be the end of NIP.
Clare, first time.
Stacey!
Oh, my God! It's all yours!
I'm half-expected to take the microphone off leave and say get space station out here!
Right now!
I bought them now!
I am just an absolute disbelief.
I didn't even take the shot on your watch or anything!
But 22 seconds of miracle is what is needed out of NIT!
Just go in order, kick off plate 59, 60, 61, and then skip a couple, just a brief catch
line over time.
22 seconds, vitality, left back, a card, choir, 20-25, a difficult time in the group stage,
of a space station gaming, the gauntlet at the front and the back.
You'll see it tomorrow.
Good luck to you.
Hey, dominating performance from vitality.
All curses have officially been broken.
There's no money you can put in front of my talent.
There's no counter you can place on the bus.
That could stop this team from success.
Truly die-outs.
Good to see it again, welcome back to the HSN and he's got a truly devastating team around
him, Stizzy in that series.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness, that performance from Stizzy alone.
He was the guy, he was everything by far.
That performance proved exactly why that roster move has been right here in particular.
from Stizzy upon he was the guy he was
anything but he that performance
proved exactly why that roster move
has been right he in particular was
shot out and brought onto this roster
both of his teammates they've seen a
championship and they wanted another one
and they are well on their way there
NIP down.
SSG tomorrow.
Hopefully we'll see you all there as well.
Leith is on the stage with Vitality.
How we feelin' about Vitality!
Sonic, it must feel good to be up here right now.
You know, coming out of groups and in today,
it seems like you're a different squad.
Has the audience revitalized you guys?
Of course, it was really hard for us the two first day we were in the press,
Like, press move and we didn't play it that well, but now we are on stage, we're kind of here to play on LAN, we love to play on stage, and there is the Golden Hornets and all the vitality fans, so we just pump it up.
I want to see if I can try to get a little bit out of you. What is really the difference, I guess, from yesterday to today? Is it just the fact that you're on this environment, or what did you guys work on to make sure today you're ready to compete?
to try to understand how you managed to achieve this kind of stuff in a single shot.
Is it really just what happened on the stage
or is it just the preparation you had before the match today?
No, it's a mix of two, because last night we talked to you,
we worked until this game, even this afternoon.
So it's just a mix of two, of work and the hype of the fans.
So I think it's even more fun to play on stage.
them and it's alpha like I'm working together and I've been high play on stage
hey can you hear them you want to talk back what do you got to say about the
by-products
thank you guys for coming we hope we can do another one
insane battle we want to get the rhythm and take the trophy and this time we'll
get it. It's looked like buslet. Well, it looks like you're on track for it.
Gearman going for Vitality!
Vitality!
The squad's in the world right now and looking like the best squad claims a day.
Absolutely dominating. Ninjas and pajamas popping them out of the circuit.
That lower bracket could be a curse at times, but sometimes it's exactly what you need.
You need that confidence because they're going into the weekend and Vitality did exactly
what they needed to do here.
A dominant 4-0 got all the members of Vitality involved and they're looking hot going into
Saturday.
And it's amazing what happens to a team when you know you have an extra life, you already
know you're not really going to improve your standing that much versus when your back is
against the wall.
We look at yesterday Vitality and he kind of got really all through the later stages
of proof play.
It was like kinda, but then the exotic that showed up today
is very capable of leading vitality
very, very deep in this bracket.
And everybody was on point.
No, there was no weak link at all.
This vitality is very, very dangerous.
I mean, there wasn't a point in the series
when they weren't in control.
This series felt over halfway through game one.
I mean, it is the pajamas.
We're trying to let you know with power rankings. They had a very bad time. They won three games against TSM and didn't win another game.
0-3, 0-3, 0-4. And it's not just that they went 0-3, 0-3, 0-4.
It's about two of the three, though. They got absolutely destroyed by Twisted Minds. They got destroyed by Vitality.
Four games, y'all. Vitality shot him on 38, trying to nearly end 19. Spiffy out here in 6-0. Zim's got 6-0.
He's not even doing 81 points. I think he still got 3 goals. It don't matter that I've been put on a show.
He scored 2-3 to the shots. That's what a shooting percentage was. It was that open for them.
They would have so much space in the air as well for Zen. For everyone on the team.
I'm not right there.
I mean maybe they're just good. This is a good show match here.
They know it's a squash match. People gave them a while. Zen be Zen.
I guess.
I mean, you know, unfortunately for Nidzid and Majama's, Vitality's offense made their net look like, you know, the gift with the security guard that's not really actually doing his job and letting people walk by, that's about what that half of the field looks like, because Vitality basically scored at will.
I mean, it's turning the free-play game number three.
I was out there talking to Jack and Reddow on the left corner, man.
And they said, oh, my God, exotic goal for Musty.
He's going for a reset.
That's how you know it's over.
Zed is except Barber's ultimate.
I mean, you said, see him in reset.
Musty's standing game four came from the right side of the field.
Gout to the left.
Gout to reset.
Corrected course.
And it goes to the top left corner.
The team shot over 40% in that match, almost four goals for game.
Pure domination, but it's just then just the pajama's end.
1.25 points for the game-ups there.
They actually shot okay, but that's because they didn't have a lot of pressure.
Also Vitality probably just gave up a few, like, while they're late on the mound.
So, Ninjas, a lot of questions going into that World Championship that they have to figure out.
To Vitality's credit, I think there was pretty much only one goal of any consequence that they actually conceded.
And it was very early on, it was another Ninjas' kickoff goal,
which is how they made their money here at this land.
That's what they did against DSM.
And that was pretty much it.
Every other World League sport, almost,
just felt like it was in garbage time.
Man, they were disarmed one man.
It was truly a sensation of watching off-sailing,
just putting on the hammer on top,
the exclamation mark of youth will.
This Vitality team, they formed.
People are questioning the Stinty Pickup.
I think they've shown so far this season
that Stinty is starting to gel.
He is working.
They have already succeeded significantly more
but in the dead last year with a two-time world champion
in Monkey Moon.
I mean, you look at the stats right here, y'all.
You have 65% time spent ahead.
And zero for Ninjas.
Zero for Ninjas.
They never leave the game.
And they got two kickoff goals, Ninjas.
And that game won, they had a few goals,
but outside of that, it was all vitality all day.
And again, yes, you don't want to be in the lower bracket,
but it is much better to get this confidence builder now,
to go into that weekend with this extra round on the added.
So you got a Friday.
This is really benefitting of my telling you that they wanted to Saturday after taking that
foot in that like mediocre game five and they would be in trouble.
But now they really feel like they can run the table throughout the slower bracket.
Yes, K-Corp beat them earlier.
But if they meet again, I mean, who knows?
Just close though, K-Corp.
It took a hat tower, remember, off the ceiling, bringing it back down on top, bottom right
corner top, really open it up and getting it on the floor.
Those two things weren't right in blows up to them.
I'm not going to lie.
I've had to check that result every day because I'm like, who won that match again?
Because it felt so back and forth because then it was still very strong.
But ultimately it was Karmic for taking it down before we get to what you were to say.
So this illustration station is open.
It's back up.
James, you got some ideas down there.
I'm excited to see which delicacy you pick, which morsel of vitality.
Excellent.
You're going to demonstrate for us here.
There was a lot to pick from.
But for me, the biggest play that caught my eye was the stizzy fate.
And so I wanted to get a closer look at that one.
And that's the play that we have right here.
So this is picking up right after Zen won the race to the mid boost.
And he also won his 50.
You can see only no boost there in the corner as we start moving forward.
And when you have no boost, we start to get desperate.
OK, only it's absolutely doesn't maybe even fake challenges trying to
set it up for Jorias, but Jorias hits this ball into a perfect setup for Stizzy.
And you can see Zen doesn't miss a beat either.
Zen, low boost, Jorias low boost, CRR low boost, Olio boost, low boost, and when you're low boost, you panic.
You can see Jorias panics a little bit, goes for the challenge, Stizzy hits him with the fake.
The worst kind of embarrassment you can imagine as a broccoli player, but Zen also, look at the zap dash he does here.
He lands off the wall, hits a zap dash, right into Olio's defensive lit, he's just a fish out of water here.
Boom, see you later. That leaves CRR in an isolation place.
Dizzy fakes the flick, no CRR has no boost,
and is able to just drive that into the opposite corner.
That was a complete dismantling of the defense.
By vitality, you can see how they were so dumb.
That was sick.
That was really, really cool.
That's one of those plays when you're on defense,
you can never elevate that pass into the mid.
That bounces off.
Thank you, James, for that awesome play.
But thank you, guys.
Have fun.
You've got to hit that off the curve.
You've got it.
Like for Jorius, you cannot put yourself in that spot.
That's why he gets faked out.
And that was the whole series,
where Vitality has all the positional advantage.
They have all the boost advantage as well.
And that's what happens.
You have to, when you're playing against him,
like if I tell you, you have to be trusting your instinct,
which makes you so much more fakeable.
The pace of play is so fast,
you can't sit there and try and think like,
what is, what's he gonna do here?
Like you just have to just go with what your instinct is.
And so once Disney, whose brain operates at this speed,
can go, what do I wanna do here?
You're done. I was gonna say something but I remember that you were gonna say something. Well, what I want to say after watching that replay was here
Have you ever seen one person man three different Marionette dolls because that's exactly what Stizzy looked like on that play
It's a little guy. He was just kind of directing traffic all over the place and then just had a CRR in the air at the end
What I want to say though about that the results for vitality in the group stage remember that's kind of in a sterile environment
That's that those studio matches where you don't have this environment when you don't have just rabid fans
Supporting you as you're as you're competing with your tournament life on the line as it will be for vitality all throughout the rest of this
It's a different atmosphere here
And I can't wait to see all these matchups as we continue on through the playoffs
I'm excited about that bottom matchup vitality versus SSG
There's some that blood in that one. We'll get to see it a little bit later on
These are the progressive accolades though as these are continuing to update not a lot of movement here given that the
Tides at the top didn't play today, but we'll see as he's in a noble and
TRK they're in second place right now in Zen climb and somehow game
I don't actually I'm curious if this number changed here. I don't know what the number
I think it did change a day, but I don't know he was
But you can play much defense in that series.
Yeah, but if you don't give up a lot of goals,
then that actually helps your number two,
so if you just get a few saves.
But we also see twists of minds,
probably the best offense here so far throughout this tournament.
Sort of move up that goals for game and assist for game list.
See if they can continue that tomorrow.
Seems like we have two very hot teams in that lower bracket.
There's minds of vitality.
Give me tough tasks for the other challenger.
Hey, we thought we had some hot teams in NRG as well.
That's why you play the matches, folks,
because you've got to see how it goes.
get some updates tomorrow. The schedule
gonna be a fun one for more matches for you.
We will have Karmicorps versus gentle mates.
They'll be playing first thing talked about a few times.
Don't forget that is the case.
Then Manchester City, one of the greatest stories
of the tournament so far. Will it continue here
versus Shopify rebellion?
The two teams everyone's very familiar with household names.
You're a no miss. Just fake versus song. Great.
Callie and best of five best.
We didn't get a Best of Five.
We got a 2,000 to get a Best of Three.
They're not that much better than me.
We watched y'all play one game.
We was like, no, we can't watch more of this.
Actually, you want to see more of them.
It gets in a lot more of a ring.
I mean, you know, these were scored millions
upon millions of goals for these two titles.
They deserve a Best of Five.
For the sake of the people who maybe are not following,
if you've seen the bracket rivalry events in games,
you see the two teams that won the tag battles there.
You put the tag on the team to represent their team.
And then you'll score goals.
The team that scores the most goals with their tags
lose forward. So this is two French creators and two Spanish creators going head to head
for the fun and enjoyment of their fans as well as the rest of the rock league.
And this crowd's going to get behind them as well. So it's going to be a good time unless
a little break in the middle. We'll get that my child. This is GMAT's last match of the
day. I'll set this up for championship Sunday. This is going to be a good day. Good day of
rock league folks. Don't forget to make sure you've got your Twitch account linked up with
your Epic account so you can be a part of the drop rush event. All the streams that are
showing this event here you get that detail I did that to actually remind me I
haven't done that yet but I got a link to this I didn't get pulled my phone in
the back of just having to have it running the broadcast or something there
folks also don't forget about the Paris Major Bundle folks you can be the part
of the prize pool here all the proceeds from Paris Major Bundle in the shop goes
to the prize pool of the Paris Major here it's gonna be a lot of fun as we
close it out on Championship Sunday but we got a whole extra day before we get
there. Thank you so much for watching here on Friday. The doors open at noon tomorrow.
The pre show at 1 30 with gameplay taken off at two. Thanks for watching. See you then.
I think I want to try and expand.
All right.
To help you un-become 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 gotta blow in the cartridge.
Like 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
