First-killer thinks he's going up the wall, LJ then creeps forwards, he wouldn't have got back LJ even if Revealed wasn't there to get the block on him.
And again, a miscommunication, LJ the final man.
The Rebellion! Full pressure up against you, SS2 beginning to run away with this game 7, it will be their third game in a row as you mentioned Stumpy if they can get it.
First-killer gets the catch, he has to get his team going again, he is the talisman that they need but maybe Kofa can help out.
help out. Berska to try to take out Diaz. One more goal, Maywell's sink rebellion.
Going back from the three in such a low-scoring series as well, especially the defense from
Zack and Reveal in particular. I'm so impressed with both of them. Berska, a little bit of time here
because Zack makes sure to shut that down as early as he can, isn't able to, but does force
that big pumping pass to come through. Hope for them to away from it. And SSG, they will
burn a little bit of time in. That is more than okay with the boys in orbit. They catch
So Primalje has the flip reset, can't be too much with it.
He needs his teammates to help out.
With some bombs, with some follow-ups, it was closer in the end.
Just a little bit too slow, a bit too languid.
First killer.
Towards Zack, more great defending from SSG.
We've seen before they can do this. They can see games away.
They did it in game one.
And now they are one minute and 45 seconds
and touching it back towards their own half is such a clever move.
But despite all of these long shots that are coming through,
rebellion needs to make sure that they do just hold firm.
There is time.
There's 100 seconds remaining.
They score two in an out-thirty in previous games.
They do not need to rush this.
It's back to the corner.
Rebellion just can't keep control of that ball.
Kofa up against Diaz.
Lovely win there from Kofa.
First killer catches it.
Almost gets it going over the top.
Nearly surprising SSG.
But they refuse to bow down.
Kofa beats a couple of them.
There's always one more SSG player back.
One clear away.
70, ticking down.
Diaz removes first killer from the play
And then Kutry does straight back in.
Seeing the rebellion, they're throwing themselves at this.
They're making it so hard for themselves.
SSG, they're being horrible to play against.
They'll take any possession they can get.
Yeah, the way they play, they are one of the best at keeping a lead in all of Rocket League.
So good at sitting in those seconds.
That one goes across the goal from Alger.
Go for the first kill, I can't do it.
Well, long clear here for SSG.
It's going to burn down five more seconds.
Reveal decides to keep it close instead.
He's slow on boosting to bit round one. It's then removed from the pitch.
Kofa has to boom this one. Diaz was pre-jumping but won't get there.
LJ almost takes that reveal. Is it able to do so?
Is Diaz getting this one on target nearly? Yes, the second nearly again.
Zack tries to break his way through but no.
It's all just vital seconds though in the final 15.
Kofa sees LJ knee but with no boost he can't do much.
Yes, LJ has to score it. It's not quite on target again
and the seconds now bleed away. Kofa first kill at pre-jumping
but it's desperate for rebellion.
The opportunity was there, SSG they had to come back and they have done so!
The new Kings of North America Space Station Gaming!
This perhaps the moment where the young blood emerges led by their resilient
This is where the pressure starts to pile on.
Defense by both teams here.
Good low-boost defense by both teams.
NIP winner is to the ball again.
Nass, the crucial touch to the backboard.
His own backboard.
Final minute.
A minute the gentlemen need to go their way.
It's not going their way at the moment.
NIP got slightly better control of the midfield.
Oh, wait, what's that?
It looks like it might have been open,
But Oli saw that that ball wasn't going in,
played it off the backboard.
Now Oli, the reset, passes over to Jorias.
Jorias with the 50, up, CRR racing in.
He gets beat to the ball.
Now Archie on the counter attack, down to the corner,
gets the corner boost, couldn't get the 50.
Oli trying to clear it out and he stopped.
Archie doesn't get the touch that allows CRR
to move it downfield.
Thanks for the moment, Sierra.
Postage push into the limits.
Nassau plays one, Sierra causing chaos.
in the gentlemase and again gentlemase looking for O.T. here.
Oli stances it for N.I.P. CRR looking to do the same but it looks like
gentlemase might have one more chance to the counter.
Nass bumped off the ball. Oli will try to get it down.
Let's it touch for overtime.
Golden goal to move ahead to the semi-finals for N.I.P.
Pick off the vantage, more gentle mates.
Shariah says, go ahead and be careful here.
Make sure it's a step behind the ball.
He is looking for the grind double as well.
Nas respected it.
But he pushed Nas off the ball.
Shariah is able to get that corner boost.
Steele and lands a bump.
NIP starting to march forward.
Shariah's with a touch as well.
CRR to the corner.
CRR up and over goes for a bump.
Doesn't hit Nas, but does steal the corner.
the corner, you see a team bump.
The confusion, Oskie last back.
Uh-oh.
Dangerous bounce, but Oskie quickly back to the ball.
That's huge from Oskie.
CRR almost caught him up on position.
Well, he should be quite near the back corner.
Hold, this comes through though.
Suddenly, old chaos is breakable.
He snaps to the tight, I guess so, off the bar.
CRR holds his nerve.
Just watches the crossbar save them.
Darius and CRR both trying to prevent that ball
from getting into the middle.
Darius beats Archie to that clear.
Oli, off the corner to himself now, hits it up tall.
Oskie by Jorias.
The NIP doing a good job slowing the game down.
Another forcing it through.
Josh, CRR, fakes it.
Jorias didn't have the boost deal on the way out.
CRR took it from him though and now he's going to take over again.
Holds from CRR.
Oli trying to move in.
Oskie ground double pass.
That's Jory, isn't the midfield man.
Should get that mid boost.
Nass, air dribble set up.
Broken up by Ole.
Archie, out of boost.
Did pick up the mid.
Victoria steals the corner.
Nass pass too, that's good stuff from him.
Archie couldn't beat CRR to it.
CRR gets the double.
Jory is, but have a long time with the ball.
That's it, CRR!
That is game!
That is serious!
N-I-P, take down gentlemints!
I can't believe it. N-I-P.
After such a disappointing year of playoff performances,
they've saved the best of the Esports World Cup.
There's one thing that has been consistent throughout the past years of EWC, it is Drauli.
Every teeny touch, absolutely has turned to gold.
The Falcons two minutes away, and another goal for security could put them into the semi-finals.
But Monkey Moon's gonna have something to say about that.
This man is a legend on land.
Minute 47 on the clock.
Can they find something here?
They're staring on the barrel right now, twisted minds.
They're gonna have to keep on believing in each other.
Monkey Moon has no blues, but he tries to force Rewast to the side.
T-R-K was there waiting, great positioning from him.
What can he conjure up?
He does best, these crackle positions, but
Charlie is too brave, too quick for him to do anything with that one.
And then Killa's gets to follow up as well.
Just reminds him of getting something on the pull but not really getting it forward.
This is a chance though. Monty needs to get up here on the rest.
T-R-K does! It is Dutu!
All the way from the ceiling, T-R-K goes straight to go for the catch.
Rwass had a hand on the ball here. He thought maybe he was going to be able to save it out, but there was already the thought.
TRK, two steps ahead to put them on even playing ground into the final minute in 15.
Earlier on I said that Twisted Minds had Joralean Falcons on the ropes, but it's completely changed as the rounds go on and the bell keeps dinging.
He's flipping from one side to the next. Rwass in front of the ball, Monty moves all alone.
He has to get a touch and he does.
Final minute of play in front of everybody's eyes.
Can somebody take it in regulation?
TRK into the quarter of the 50 works out for twisted minds.
They tried to use it as a bait there,
but it was read by the Falcons.
Nubov looking for anybody from his team.
Ruas trying to make the clear.
It is immediately set back, and the pressure is still on.
He can't play the twins.
They invented it.
They brought that place out through.
And there's a shot.
It's going to sneak its way in.
Has Ruas done it?
Is that enough for the Falcons?
Most people would have looked at Ruas' performance
throughout this series, and thought
it is not normal for him to be the one on the lead
for the forefront of striking for the Falcons.
But sometimes change is the best way to scare your enemy
and lead into the final 30.
Twisted lines have to do it, they have to do it now.
This is where they need some new low magic.
He bounces back to the pool from Ruas.
It goes high, TRK is there.
He wants to get the ball pinch, isn't able to do so.
Drowley again in his way.
We're off number one, Monkey Moon, no boost in the tank.
It is up to TRK to make that few there.
Nubow is going to take that corner boost away from killers
and keep them both on the ground.
10 seconds away from a semi-final,
a shot here could guarantee it.
Five on the clock and a demo sends them back.
The pressure is still on.
Twisted mines are in the wrong end of the field.
The ball almost on the ground.
but Rolly is still trying desperately to get this to end.
It's theirs!
The Falcons live to see another semi-final.
Killers, steals it in the end.
Two goals for difference in that deciding game.
And while Twisted Mind seemingly
have you stopped Falcons in the Nena region,
This is where it matters, in front of these fans, on these stages with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line.
That is where the experience tells.
Four down with just about half way to go.
You'll try anything if you're vitality here.
You lose by four, lose by nine, makes no difference.
You got to make something happen.
Throw everything against the wall.
against the wall, see what sticks.
Got like a fifth goal, KC playing with their food.
They're just going to shoot it at the net, aren't they?
Just force them to always respect the shot on target,
force them to keep one man ready just in case,
and really try and prevent vitality
from having strong, multi-pronged counter-attacks.
It's a brilliant tactic, but what is it annoying?
It kind of reminds me of those old, like,
monkey move BDS teams where like they would just completely stuff you and there
was nothing you could do you can't score they get those 50s but the way Casey
play together the way they cover each other just feels almost impossible for
vitality. Juicy's had been incredible series. Ato has covered really well for
Tierra has been a menace downfield Ato obviously getting those bumps and demos
achieves you're spreading your hands here a little flabbergasted about that clear
downfield. I mean Zen is just you want to clean 50 in the corner got a beautiful
pop in the middle of the box and you're telling me vitality down four doesn't
have somebody ready to catch it just in case. Look how much time has just gone.
Only a minute 30 left. I'll try a pitch and maybe get a shot here for Stizzy.
I can't even get a dunk. No setup in front of the box.
Juicy knows no one's around and he easily clears this one out.
KC really trying to make a statement outside of this quarterfinal line this is their title to the venue at EWC
And most of this series has been all of them even though we went seven vitality
Had a lot of fight in them
But KC
It's a complete victory lap KC fans are walking around some of them are walking up jumping up and down
It's absolute elation from them in the stadium
and vitality
I really can't believe it right now. 5-0 after forcing this game to 7.
You're a daggers card. There are a few worse feelings than you already know.
You're the underdog coming in with your vitality fan.
And you know some of these games are ugly, but some are a little more tight.
And getting all the way to 7 and just having not even be a bunch of a contest
is a tough, tough situation to be in. But you gotta hand it to the blue wall, baby.
It would not be denied. They were electric. They said as PlayStation was a fluke,
We're still KC, baby.
Well, I don't think space station wasn't a fluke.
That's what they're saying. Whether or not it's true doesn't matter.
Honestly, that would be pretty juicy rematch in the grand finals, which is possible.
But hey, NIP looked pretty good as well, so a lot to look forward to tomorrow on Championship Sunday.
Unfortunately for Vitality, the story continues to be the same against this KC team.
They can't beat him.
Yes, can't beat him.
Oh, not double tank.
Thankfully, Zen is hate to come back through and make a stop.
Turning into a bit of a freestyle.
81 for the road for Vitality to take the edge off.
You'll see.
Get a double there and the pre-jump.
That is cute.
Now they're definitely clip farming.
They've got to get a couple more.
Say I'm going to go up and out the ceiling. Hit me.
With level 7 full again.
This is just insane.
Absolutely smashed here.
Farming Court continue to be absolute demons against Vitality,
who have no exorcists on payroll.
And KC the Blue Wall,
advance to the semi-finals here at the East Fork World Cup.
A lot of people are haunted by their past.
I'm inspired by it.
They're not just playing for themselves, they're really playing for their entire family.
They have defeated their demons! They have crushed the curse!

Okay.
Small gas, small gas, small gas.
Alright, I'm dasting it.
I feel like I'm doing a good job.
Yes, yes. Let's let me drive.
Okay.
I don't think I was driving that slow.
Yeah, I feel like I went pretty fast and I don't know if it was much faster!
Oh my god!
I'm not happy!
I'm younger than his brother!
Holy crap!

I should have listened to all my middle school teachers and high school teachers
and college teachers!
Like, you gauge your entire life is only gonna put you in my present situation!
Oh
You should not have a driver's license.
distance. Not if this is okay.
I'm here at the Allianz Courtyard at eSports World Cup. I got me, I got Wes. We're gonna
do a little kid be ups challenge. We've watched some car soccer. It's time for some real life
soccer as well. So if you stuff up, you're out. Let's see who the best is at the
real thing. Let's get into it. Let's go.
That might be a me as you out. What are your thoughts on that one real quick? I don't know Wes. Wes wasn't really moving his feet. There was no support there from the defensive line. I think the inverted fullback probably should have been able to support my run there. Yeah, I fully agree with that. But Wes, since you won, can you use a little little KP up by yourself just to showcase the win?
I think we need to. All I know is
Meezy was a little smelly out there.
Not very good, but it's all good.
Don't worry too much about it.
I've been practicing my pinches in
Rock League and I think it translated
perfectly to the football and you know
what I'm glad to take the win today.
I didn't have to do too much,
but I'm happy about it.
This guy is just yavin bro.
I put on deodorant this morning.
I'm glad to take the win today.
I didn't have to do too much,
but I'm happy about it.
This guy is just yavin bro.
I put on deodorant this morning.
I'm glad to take the win today.
this morning I don't know what he's talking about
I'm dead. I'm dead.
I'm dead. I'm dead.
I'm dead. I'm dead.
Nice!
Nice!
He's dead. He's dead.
He's dead. He's dead.
Take a time, you all.
Nice. Good job.
I'm gonna track up.
Nice.
There you be.
Nice.

I'm so big, so big
Welcome to the final day for Rocket League here at the eSports World Cup in beautiful
sunny Paris and I tell you what achieves you could not pick a better day for
ugly action that is the truth CJ this is the city of love and let me tell you I
love right can leave is the final day of the Esports World Cup you couldn't ask
for a better time we're not asked for a better time but yesterday we did have four
quarterfinal matches for best of sevens to get to this camp someday the
table kick things off with an all-north American matchup space station
the shop for a billion and it was an absolute banger you had a lot of shots
against Shopify Rebellion put up 94 shots.
Space Station unable to really meet that mark,
but it doesn't matter because their defense was so good.
Their defense helped carry them against KC
in the group stage, helped carry them
against Shopify Rebellion and Space Station
on their way to potentially threatening to win the tournament
and I don't think many people really have them
as the North American hopefuls.
Hey, no bigger data than me.
I came in here day one, said Space Station, no chance.
And let me tell you, they just about made a believer
out of me.
So well done, Space Station.
You've earned your spot here.
I'm looking forward to your game today.
They were the favorites in that match, but our second quarterfinal, NIP,
gentlemen, we had an upset there.
Yeah, we did.
And NIP, they looked so good.
CRR, your favorite guy was absolutely clinical.
But of course, Jory has been there, done that when it comes to the Esports World Cup.
And even when Gamers 8 was still a thing before it officially became
the Esports World Cup, and only still one of the most underrated players
in Rocket League right now.
NIP looked very strong.
I think many of us really expected them to beat gentlemen to choose.
Yeah, not many people are giving them a lot of credit versus the team like gentlemen.
So you think the top of Europe, you think gentlemen is up there and believe it or not, historically,
NIP tends to beat them.
They win their first match up on land here at EWC.
So well done, NIP.
You guys might be noticing a trend for these quarter finals region to region.
We had NA versus NA with an EU versus EU for quarter final two.
Then we had Mena versus Mena, twisted fouls.
Oh my goodness.
What a series that was.
One of the fastest series I've ever watched in defense was in afterthought.
Both of these overrated.
The Twisted Minds blew a three goal lead, almost a four goal lead at one point.
I looked like they were going to score and I thought that they were going to do it.
It was looking so good.
I thought Monkey Moon was going to run through another tournament, but Falcons with Drolli
looked so strong.
Yeah.
Devastating loss though for Twisted Minds.
They were so excited to get the opportunity to play Falcons in that quarter-final.
And to have them come up short, you really did feel the air kind of go out of their
sails like you mentioned giving up that three goal lead in under a minute.
Tough day for them yesterday.
We'll see how they're looking a few months.
A big bounce back to Falcons as well considering they didn't make the previous
major.
Fantastic new number one team in May now then our final quarter final was the French derby
Obviously was the final match of the day. We had the blue wall against the Golden Hornets. I tell you what that was a 4-3
felt like a 4-0
Definitely the most 4-0 4-3 that I've ever casted in my career KC were all over vitality vitality had no answers
One of the games they got demoed 20 times 15 with down crazy absolutely insane
But Casey looks so strong that was such a strong start to the playoffs here
EWC to try to defend their title.
Yeah, a great showing from Karmicorps.
They come in here trying to win two EWC's in a row.
That was the way to do it.
Let me tell you.
The bridges to our Final Four here.
Championship Sunday.
We will crown our Rocket League Champion.
Obviously, two big best of seven semifinals coming up.
First one, NIP.
SSG to kick things off.
Whoa, who would have thought that NIP and Space Station
would be in the semifinals here at EWC?
I certainly didn't have it predicted,
but I am loving how both of these teams look.
We talked about CRR, talked about Space Station's
defense. I really think both of these teams are sleeper picks. I know everyone's looking
at the other side and thinking that those two teams are probably the favorites, but
to me, I think there's huge spoiler potential for either of these teams coming on this side
of the bracket.
A big opportunity especially. First top four for space station on a live event. Obviously
a great chance to make the grand final in CRR. It's been a while since he's made
a final, along with Juryus, so they're all looking forward to the end. Right sometimes.
So good semi-final matchup there, no doubt.
And I love the way NRP applying. So it could be a little, a little too close
to take the whole thing out, but our second semi-final, should I say, is the big one.
Our PlayStation story of the day as well as Chiefs is right in there.
Well he started off with being this PlayStation story of the day.
It's Drally once again and the Falcons, of course, a chance for him to win his third
EWC in a row.
He's got a great opportunity here.
He's got to go through his former team and Carmen Core as well though, so it's no freebies
and of course, killers in the loss.
Definitely looking forward to getting their first EWC win, considering they feel like
they may have been snubbed in the freebies too.
I mean, if you could believe it, since Drowley left KC,
this is the first time that Falcons are playing KC.
So this is the first time that Drowley is actually playing his former team
back the whole way when he played at EWC with them in 2025.
So you got pressure on Drowley playing KC for the first time, going for a three
P and also the club championships.
Falcons, you know the data, the position they're in against AGL.
Yeah. And it's going to be difficult.
They got a couple more games to go as well.
But I think Falcons have a really good shot of eclipsing
AGL in the club championship. They're really close. Getting the top honors at Rocket League
will certainly make life easier. Yeah, definitely agree. I mean Falcons,
if there was a better time to do it, I can't think of one. So go ahead, give us your best shot.
Well, it's week six of the Esports World Cup, which means it's getting right to the pointy end.
We have two favorites for the club championships. AGL, Team Falcons who could get the job done
in the Rocket League today. So let's head over to our resident expert, Ginny,
to break it all down for us.
We're at the point in EWC where every single game matters more
than the next one because two top contenders right now
for the championship points are fighting neck on neck.
AJL as well as Team Falcons, myself and Glitter,
are going to do our best to break it down
because AJL, as of now, is still as of now.
Right, right.
They still have a 400 point lead over Falcons.
However, they're not in any more titles this week and Falcons are so
Yep, you know remains to be seen how that's gonna go for a jail
But let's talk about what this could mean for their future, right?
There's so one week left in EWC and a GL is technically in less titles
Than Falcons for the remaining week however
They do have a really good chance at getting bare minimum a top eight across all of the titles that they are in
For the final week
All right, that's because they currently have the reigning champion when it comes to crossfire of reigning EWC champion
Okay, then they have two players in trackmania who should their minimum at least be able to get a top four and
Then if we're looking at fortnight, they have the back-to-back European champion duo
Who could potentially also get a win in fortnight?
So if they're able to actually meet all of those expectations
That would give them a massive chunk of points and that would be the ideal scenario for a jail
But we're looking at Falcons there and they're the winners of the club championship in 24 in 25
And of course they would want to get it in 26 things have not necessarily been going the way they wanted it to be
But today they are competing in Rocket League in the semi-final if they manage to get a number two finish by the end of this week
They will be 50 points out of a jail. Thanks because a jail is not competing in anything
Thanks, but if they win Rocket League, it's a 400 point difference
That's 300 quick mass 250 points difference, right? That's a pretty good position for them to be it now
They are also competing next week in at least two titles. So we're looking at car junior who has seven world championship titles in total
Including you never see 24 and 25. Okay, and then on top of that. I mean the CS roster. I am clone
What what else can I say? I know? Yeah, they have very favorites, especially the vitality now is well struggling that lower
Yes, and it being absolutely carnage for them. So for Falcons next week is looking absolutely incredible and very crucial
If I remember correctly, this is the closest the competition has ever been, so I am more
excited than ever to see how these games are going to play out today.
I'm here at the Merch Store at the Esports World Cup checking out all the incredible
things that you can grab.
We have all the teams here.
You can buy the jerseys like this, repping NIP for the day of course in the finals,
but also all the titles as well, Rocket League, Merch of course.
And I've found a few of my friends that perhaps have a little modeling competition,
little catwalk for you guys to see what they've got going on. Starting with Cole, who are you wearing today?
I'm wearing Epic, my friend. This is Rocket League right here, EWC hat as well, and my little shorts,
but unfortunately the socks, they're mine. You can't get those here though. They do match though
the socks. Yeah, I feel like you were prepared for this. Weirdly, I am here. I didn't mean to
be, but somehow I'm new when I chose my socks this morning. That's a beautiful start. Well
done. Back to my pose now. Oh, okay. He's looking nice. Hey, you step aside for me if you
you would with your pose in pose thank you very much.
Ah, Vitira, what do you have for us?
Yeah, only one choice.
I mean, I come dressed in red all the time.
There was only one option for the kid.
We had to go Carmencourt, top to bottom, red pants,
red shoes, red top.
Obviously, rep the number one, Vati.
There's only one choice.
Carmencourt.
Mm, it's close between you and Cole.
I really like it.
Chiefs, thank you very much.
I should I say, Vitira, who are you wearing?
Mr. Snumpy Goblin.
Asalaamu alaikum.
I am wearing the Falcons.
They have got gold, it's trimmed with gold,
it's a gorgeous green textured top.
I don't know what it says on the back,
but I believe in whatever it does say.
It does say Falcons are here,
which indeed they are in the finals,
Champ Sunday for Rocket League,
but it seems very fitted as well.
Did someone fit you out for this kit?
No, if you buy it and you wear it,
you just will look this good.
You'll look that good.
Plenty of merch to grab here at the store.
We're having a good time here at Champ Sunday with Rocket.
I think if we bring the boys back over,
I have to give it to Achieve Slash-Vatira.
Look at fantastic in the full red on Maron Drift.
It's a good time.
Incredible work there from the boys.
Welcome in, everybody.
It is Championship Sunday.
We are live from the Esports World Cup in the city of love.
The best players from around the world of Rocket League
have all gathered in the STC arena.
And after four days of action, we
are down to our final four squats.
Please welcome in the Drift Lord Achieve.
My goodness.
Of course, Jorbi, let's start with you, Racheves.
How good do you feel?
I feel amazing.
I could have mastered dress shoes, too.
I know.
If I got to look like this every day, I'd be great.
Jorbi, we have been all smiles since we walked in,
and that's because we had fans lining all the way
around this arena in here.
It is going to be loud on a championship Sunday.
We got the grad stands filling out, too,
like not just the bottom seats.
I mean, this is going to be awesome.
I'm so excited.
I think we have four really exciting teams to watch today.
And honestly, I think this is anyone's to take.
Awesome stuff coming your way in Rocket League
before we dive in deep though.
We want to update you with one of the games
from the other stage, Faze Clan earning 1,000 points
with their win on Rainbow Six.
They were not expected to be the favorites
in this tournament and to the delight of the fans.
They get the job done.
Now what does this mean for our club championship?
They are currently up to 1,200 points overall.
They are jumped up to 11th place
and they still have one more title to go.
And that is historically one of Faze's best.
We have Counter Strike to close things out.
Jorby, you and I have been watching these guys for a while.
Rainbow Six has been a blast to tune into.
What do you think about the chance of winning in CS as well?
Well, CS is pretty competitive.
I haven't been following too closely,
but we'll see if they can get it done.
They can earn 1,000 more points.
So can everyone else in the club championship
that is participating next week.
For now, though, let's check in with somebody
who is scoring big.
It's one of our Rocket League creators from Spain.
What's going on?
Hello everyone, I'm Rosry, the Spanish co-streamer for this event. Remember to follow us.
I'm really happy to be broadcasting this tournament. It's been crazy
and I just want to tell you my favorite moments. It's my opinion, okay?
The first one was the Falcons comeback. That was insane.
And the second one, my favorite, is the silence. Yep, the gentle made silence.
When ninjas in pyjama won and you could imagine what is my prediction for today?
Ninjas in pyjama will win remember my words be careful with
CRR
Thank you so much. Bye
Much love the roster in all the Spanish gamers including this one on the far right
He goes by the name of CRR and he has been one of the defense men to watch in the tournament when he's not taking people out of the
sky he's blowing them up on the demos in this quad well they've been blowing up
the scoreboard no one believed in SSG but here they are with another
semi-final run the boys getting playful behind the scenes achieves a ask
race station young kids I mean if you think about who they play it feels like
inches of pajamas have been in the scene for forever yeah they're all heads at
this point yeah but they're here that's talking about a gatekeeper match
good luck space station you know the space station and their defense has
really carried them they started out with a huge upset against carving
And it wasn't some kind of fluke it wasn't like Carmen Korp weren't playing that well
But obviously got Shopify rebellion. It was a bit of a different storage rebellion put out 94 shots
It was a plus 29 shot differential in favor of rebellion rebellion only scored 10 of those
94 shots against space station and they just got
10 of 94 not good in rocket league at all that is either terrible attack or incredible defense a little bit of
Okay, now we're into this SSG squad. They powered through another NA opponent in SR
So what are the expectations for space station is North America expected to make it to a grand finals achieves?
You know, I think if they were going to in a team probably the best chance at it. Yeah, I'm not gonna say yes
I left the RR too much
We've got our players ready to go. It's CJ CJ is with chief beef CJ take it away
Yeah, we're having a good time down here in the SSG booth or should I say one of us will
be having a good time because I'm rocking NIP today.
After what I saw SSG do to Shopify rebelling yesterday, I'm on the NIP bandwagon, Chief
Chief, SSG contact karate, how are we doing?
Doing fantastic, you know.
I mean, I want to say you absolutely are the bandwagon here.
I want to say maybe 12 hours ago, you had a different jersey on.
What's up with that?
I did.
But as I said, I've got to jump on NIP just to get some revenge on SSG.
the boys looking no fantastic first top four for the organization. I mean, it must be just high vibes right now for the boy.
Oh, the vibes are high. No, I've been seen them play ping pong. They're still loose, right? Like they're locked in, but in between series, they're just chilling.
I could they're absolutely locked, but against NIP, can we get a prediction from you? Could you seem pretty comfortable?
Oh, yeah. No, I like this matchup form. I do like this matchup. I feel like SSG, if they come out hot, if they show their confidence, if they play like they did against K Corp.
I feel like we could see them take it home in six. I wouldn't be surprised because of seven
I love it in six and just quickly a shout out anyone else wanting to watch the SSG experience
Where we find you we are live on twitch.chief twitch.tv slash chief bebe underscore RL been here for the whole event
It's been fantastic so far. The energy in the booth has been great. It's been a fun time. Awesome. Well come on
And I pay on not my end. Well, uh, we'll see you soon back to your pocket
Is that a championship Sunday Australian moustache mad respect to CJ CJ and of course to SSG because they did hand
Carmine Court one of the biggest losses of the tournament that was back earlier on day two. Let's take a look at their opponent today though on day five
have Jorbey, NIP, another surprise, the Europeans getting everyone on their feet yesterday, what
did they show you for the Ninjas in pajamas?
I mean they showed me CRR playing out of his mind, a Chiefs Favour player, and I mean they
just looked so good.
Oli to me is one of the most underrated players in all of pro-rock league right now and
he was proving that yesterday, really all tournament long.
Jorbey has kind of been there, done that.
He's been to a couple of grand finals on LAN in his life and I mean he just
might make it to another one. That's not just ridiculous. To be honest, it's pretty good as I've
always liked the position of Bering to see our joyous. Of course, he's like he said, he's well
traveled, only underrated. It's a great day for NIP. It's a rare championship Sunday and you have
a station for gentlemates, of course. So I'm looking forward to seeing what NIP can do. If they
make their first final in a while, I'd love that. And I love glued calling out the French
fans. And even if your team has knocked out, the gentlemates have shown up to hate watch
the other friend squad. We'll talk about that a little bit later, but first let's highlight two
stars on the left. CRR on the right. It's Diaz. Achieve, what are the responsibilities of both
players in game? Well, the big thing for CRR is positionally sound. CRR is always there to pick
up the slack. There needs to be. You can always make a rate 50 by time. Diaz, if you take Diaz,
how much? Diaz stability. Diaz has had such a glow up on this roster. He went from the
biggest question mark on space station to their best player at this tournament. He is
It's currently one of my front runners for MVP.
Dias has come out.
He's shown out.
And he's having his best land performance ever seen him have.
Now, as we're going to see, our goal participation
is 63% good achieves.
Not bad.
63 is pretty solid.
I mean, 63.70 tends to be pretty average for really solid
players.
OK.
And we will be looking for a few stars
to break over that 65% threshold our MVP race is on.
We want you guys to be chiming in into chat
as we will be awarding $25,000 in addition
to that first place check to one of the lucky winners.
For now though, SSG, 66% of the fans are signing with them.
We've got drums rolling into the arena.
Gentlemen, with 40 seconds to go to the stage,
how do you see our first semi-final going, Jorvie?
Well, look, I backed the space station yesterday
in the quarterfinals to say,
they're gonna win this whole dang thing.
I have not changed my tune.
I'm a chief beef over there watching
with the space station team stream, all right?
I've got space station taken down
at Ninjas and Pajamas here.
Big Space Station a little, a little unseasoned just yet.
They're good.
It's a great land performance,
but I think there's too much experience
over on the NAFP sideline.
I think they make it through in seven.
I feel like I'm at Carnival right now.
We got headdresses go lower,
people on their feet chanting and all kinds of drums.
It's championships on air rockin' league at EWC.
Let's get it on.
Because as the sun rose in the city of love, so did the chance to make some history.
Because his championship Sunday at the Esports World Cup.
And it's time for us to crown our new Rocket League champions.
The EWC has given us the best rivalries we could have asked for.
We had personal rivalries, regional rivalries, and above all, the will to be the best in the world.
And now the teams are ready for it.
Yeah, they've got one thing on their minds, and that is being the best in the world, but to get there, they've got to play out of their skin.
First up, the semis, and then if you win there, you book your spot in tonight's grand final.
Where you get the opportunity to shine brighter than all the others, and to prove that as of 2026 summer, you are the best team in the world.
And you know, this trophy was given to Karmin Korplein last year, but it is now open to the hands of three other Titans, because this used to be KC's trophy.
But now Ian, it's up for grabs.
It is indeed what a crowd we have here in the STC Arena to witness it. We are jump packed.
Oh, yes!
Well, guys, we put ourselves on our 31, you too.
And now I'm going to ask you to help us.
If you're ready for the Championship Sunday, ladies and gentlemen,
FETCH DUPRE!
That is the energy that we came here for,
and it's time now for our first semi-final.
final, please welcome onto the stage Ninjas in Pajamas!
Paris found its villains because NIP sent gentle mates home yesterday and they looked
perfectly comfortable doing it. A roster that brings a mix of aggression, big stage
and armed with early who is now one series away from returning to the EWC final
with a completely different team. These organizations have never met in Rocket League.
What a time to introduce yourselves. And against them the American Prodigies
Space Station Gaming!
No lower bracket, no detour for them at the EWC.
They defeated the title defenders with a fashion 3-0
and they are coming and looking stronger than ever.
You know it, they have a 3-0 category in the title champions
and they come to look for more!
Do you need a hand?
Wonderful.
I'm very happy to welcome Diaz and Ciara on stage.
I know I'm not going to get bad words from you guys.
You told me yesterday that you were excited to face him.
So what do you wish him on this match?
Nothing good this match.
Like after the match, everything is good for him.
But right now, all the bad stuff.
Oh, OK.
I wish him all the best, but not just for this match.
That's the only negative I wish him.
I know I'm not going to get bad words from you either towards him,
but are you happy to face him and what do you wish him?
Yeah, I hope like we had a great match and that's it.
Beautiful sportsmanship, guys.
I'm going to let you handshake and get back with the team.
Our first semi-final at the EWC SSG vs. NIP starts now!
Two dark courses prepared to do battle and only one will earn their spot in the grand finals.
We have NIP vs. Space Station.
We've got Youth vs. Experience, which I would say matters more here than EU vs. NA.
And that's the obvious way to go here, right?
You know, we had the the draw that had European teams against each other,
had North American teams against each other.
We were guaranteed to have that.
But this to me truly is the youngest team.
But it is the youngest team, 18 years old, PlayStation Gaming.
Yes, Nick on average.
I guess Nick, who's average age is 21 and two-thirds.
So that's some formative years that they've got over the top of SSG right now, Jay.
It is quite interesting that you point that out, Cole.
We've seen the come up in North America of this young SSG team.
Even Zack, who after a disappointing Worlds performance in the RLCS, decided to take short retirement break,
but he's back and better than ever.
That Zack revealed duo has risen to the top of North America in terms of pure skill.
They paired up with Diaz and now they are finally getting results for their organization,
but they're not happy with the top four.
They want to make it to a grand finals, but they're going to have to go to another tournament dark course.
NIP perhaps the surprise of the tournament at this point call with the performances that they've been able to put up the teams
They've been able to take dummy get you yeah absolutely mention the pajamas have got better and better as this tournament has gone on
They start off with a professional win against a player of any three one in that one
But then the winner gets twisted minds three two going all the way to overtime
Five four waiting where they won it as soon as the ball kicks off was massive for them
It seems that that gave them the belief and now come into this one with and then just to make it gentle mates
I certainly did not act them a tool against the homes. Yeah, I hit a upsets. I picked gentle mates in five
I thought that this Cinderella run was gonna come to an end, but as Oli said on his Twitter
I guess I am just an e-sports World Cup merchant
What they can get back to the finals
once again
Well, I mean last time after these books will come to an final and finish top 4 GK at world
So you can certainly take it into regular three to three tournaments as well
But you're right when you come to a tournament you really feel that you have something it does make a big difference
And we'll see if they'll make a difference for Nick right here
plenty of the line there is
Because
but still gets the sidewall skimmer!
And Sierra James, the player who I feel at this event, has really come into his own.
Because of that personality, he is just so entertaining.
He's playing what you love to watch.
What was that?!
And he's got the skill of the pitch as well!
I haven't even had time to adjust in my seat, and I'm already falling out of it.
CRR, that goal!
It is so difficult to be that precise to do it off kickoff with not much boost.
And now we see a save from Jordy.
It's what a start from NIP only.
A bit panicked.
Diaz trying to get back.
Holy moly.
What a beginning to this series.
It certainly gets you going, doesn't it?
When a series starts like that, we hope it will continue like that as well as Diaz
clear as long.
They're a little chuckle to themselves up to that one Monday, not too much you can do.
But CRR, Spaniard is doing that from the kickoff, but he's a player who has been all over the
world.
He's played in North America, he's played in Europe, he's played in South America, but
the nip it seems like he's finally found the home, that's why he's so free on that
stage right now as he almost gets a second straight away out and gets the demo as
well.
He is already in flow state.
And that was something that he was doing brilliantly yesterday.
CRR's first man. We saw getting double demo that led to an immediate goal yesterday.
Multiple demos that led to goals, buffs that led to goals.
CRR was so disrupted as that first man in so many plays for NIP has really helped elevate
this team already out of the game in this game.
Being a WorldE, but we see defense now coming out for NIP.
SSG has had a decent amount of possession.
They've been knocking on the door, not been really fazed by letting in that first goal.
Seems like it might just be a matter of time. There's the pass! That's broken up by C.R.R.R.
And they've been doing great defending right now. Jara's in particular. Huge, huge saves and
only tries to walk the dog all the way into the goal. Keeps it low. It's not by
space station gaming, but if they counter attacking Rocket League for a second, now
they do have that chance to try and keep SSG pinned. A great dunk from that C.R.R.R.
He comes up scurrying, can he? Oh he can!
His DS makes an IRMA door, they'll be attacked continues.
We'll be able to clear it, yes they can.
Wow, Holy doesn't have boost, he just reveals.
Holy nicely handles that out to the corner, but what a play from Sierra again almost.
Got that dunk.
Now we're starting to see a little bit of life on the attack from an IP.
The pass middle!
Torious! Two only!
And they score their second!
Yeah, and it's offensively looks stunning, isn't it?
and they can all the right decisions only just waited he knew that Diaz was low on boost and couldn't do too much with that one
And after CRR got us off of an explosion. It's his teammates that combined for the second and these little pyjamas continue
Their upswing throughout this tournament and getting better every single game every single series
With huge huge wins on the way as well have to do some defending here again though Diaz is up might make it one here is
Zack tries to win this race Jor-Ace isn't letting and Nick continues being
They're gonna be greedy in front of their own gold. So many blocks!
Their Bapu defense has been stunning from them.
They've been able to make those stops despite being stretched.
Another chance here, Diaz.
Contact towards Net, Oli.
He's gonna fall back there.
Very good stops from Oli. Defensively, this first game.
Let's see what SSG can do.
What a pass.
Over to the side, Gory is going to try to chase this down.
Trying to put calls to the defense, but it's nicely collected by Diaz.
Full field carry, that's one of Diaz's special moves.
If you give him the ball on his own back while he can still score on you.
Diaz hasn't changed anything just yet.
They know they're having hard chances, they're just not quite being able to confirm them when they get those opportunities.
They'll get you an awful lot of the ball inside the mid-clock as far as an IPA concerned,
and that team bug won't help you too much either.
That going forward, plenty of this ball has been spent in blue territory.
I mean, to get that final pass, a real thought about going to Zaka, things like wanted it.
But we'll try to surprise them to the pyjamas, because that's something that space station gaming aren't really doing so far in the opening four minutes of this first game.
The right tech creativity hasn't necessarily been there. Try to overpower the defensive line for the NIP,
but still scoreless as we enter this final minute for SFG,
Little pot shot easily gonna be saved.
It's saved from Darius, now to Ole, who finds C.R.R.R.
Back to Ole, Ole, going for a 50, Reveal, 50 to get by Ole.
And now Diaz and Reveal running into each other.
Little miscommunication there.
Limited their counterattack options.
Now C.R.R., fade one, goes for a bump, Reveal, sees it coming,
does get demoed though.
The ball safely in the hands of Zack.
Not the best first touch, and he's gonna waste a lot of
The boost on it still recovers nicely with a touch of 250, but that's cleared away.
So we're not seeing as much polish from SSG either.
If you double-commence, you missed first touch opportunities.
And it looks like with save after save from NIP, they're going to be able to close this one out.
Yeah, seeing it away. Running to Vs right now.
Mentioning pajamas, space station gaming.
They had a couple of chances, but in the end, defending from NIP was too good.
And they more than took their opportunities and MVP performance in game one from CRR
I don't know if the score will be, but I mean, what we've seen out there is
kind of having as the best player out there.
And honestly Cole, you know, just looking back at the run, looking at the results that NIP has had so far
Surely CRR is in the conversation for MVP. If he can continue this level of play
for the entirety of this series and maybe even through the Grand Final CRR has been...
He's been lights out. He has been unstoppable this event and he treated us to a world-class
gold seconds into this first game of the day. I can tell you're looking forward to seeing
it again James. I'm like, come on, I see that happy, that sitting water. Let's see
the go. Here we go. Get out of the way, spinning ball. Honestly, CRR do this. Oh my
You can see Reveal the disbelief there.
Great stuff from CRR.
Blinded that up so perfectly.
You have to be perfect with your low boost like that to hit it.
Just right to where you can get the follow-up touch.
Truly precise.
CRR is just a smart player.
And he is showing you his class in this first game.
But can they keep this same level of play?
Will SSG continue to struggle offensively?
We know that they're a very capable team.
They seemed a little bit disjointed at times.
They were always on the back foot.
And the few chances they did have in space,
Kingston line up, you saw Zach had an opportunity
to maybe take a first touch, maybe
start some type of counter attack,
but the first touch wasn't there
from trying to get it back under control.
But by then, that chance had fizzled away.
SSG is going to have to play much better
if they hope to get through this NIP team who has been on fire.
Well, we talk about experience, and the crowd has maybe quadrupled in size
between the start of the event and now they have fans all the way up in the big seats.
I wasn't saying it's an absolutely brilliant atmosphere and that does bring extra pressure,
as is the money on the line. And for the first time in that last game,
this entire tournament, space station gaming didn't score a goal in a game.
Now, of course, that is credit to the way that Nings and the Germans defended and frustrated them
and blocked everything that was shot at them.
So, it's also a little bit of a hint towards the inexperience that we mentioned.
Remember that SSG, their best results in 3D3's top 8s, these international events.
Does this wake them up? Yes, it does!
And that is exactly how you gain that experience.
I believe they also did have that top 3 in last game with the event that G2 ended up winning.
But you're right, it has been a long time coming.
SSG do get on the board.
They have to keep this leap.
Also watch out for those demos last game.
11 total demos, 7 from, not 11, but from NIP, 5 of those 7 from NIP, from CRR.
So CRR continues to be at the center of this action for NIP, also shooting 50% on top of his off-ball contributions.
And now CRR going for a goal that time, didn't get it elevated, a low-boost player on SCG, able to make the save.
See how much karma that opening goal makes a base station gaming are they able to
They have to their lofty standards to see how I'll send it to the side
Jorias awaits. Blooms it high but there's no one there with any boost as well
So it was a massive bloom as opposed to getting something going
Okay, that's the dodger bump there in the air
Jorias underneath that one only pushes it above the goal line
Jorias is a little bit awkward here, he's just got a sort of weight on that
Vincent Pajama's back wall and in the end he can do something with it
This is G to that Crudow to go in ahead, continue the pressure on them and suddenly look at the bat-scene hook so far again, let's see.
Yeah, good composure there, goes for the flick, it is saved.
And we did see early on in the game, last game called after CRR's goal of course.
We did see some good pressure from SSG, they were able to keep some good possession.
We weren't quite able to convert, now we do see them convert early.
When you count this SHG team out, when they find their footing, they prove to be quite
good sweeping K-Corp, who's also looked to be in form as well.
So incredible result from SSG.
Oh!
Oh!
There's a 50 right out to the middle, getting that ball across the goal line reveal will
have an easy punch in.
Yeah, that is ugly from only missing that completely, I assumed.
You've got someone behind him, it was a great fake, but not to be, it just was
complete with he tried to wrap around and make up for his mistake she had the
wherewithal and the composure to bundle it home for an easy second goal they
will be overjoyed with that one they won't say no to a freebie at any point
Jory's trying to make it to one straight up the bat DS is already there
and up and gets it over it now what a depth player on the backboard as you
said yourself James but I love on the last bit of little hesitation from
DS it shows that he's locked in he's in his zone another player with
with a massive amount of one's experience
and the best one players in the world.
Those little situations where all he's gotta beat
is one player, a lot of times he will come out on top.
He'll wait for this one.
Joris clears it as far as he can.
Trying to get something going in this second game
is not really happening for them.
Pultuated by, oh he's missing the back wall,
but what a touch that is from Joris.
Completely changes the speed of the ball
and the direction of it.
You see there for the follow up,
There was the demo, there was the shot, and there it is in the end.
The ball seems to float for a long time in front of the goal,
but in the end it was put away by Jarius.
And again, it's a demo from CRR that messes everything up.
See Diaz lost out there after the demo from CRR.
Again, impact plays, on-ball, off-ball, doing it all out there.
CRR continues his stellar run.
Second we go we saw some Aussie fans excited to see coach LBP who is there for ninja and pajamas as well
And we're sitting here behind me, which is super cool. They're giving away giveaways. We're doing giveaways for this event
Reveal goes to a shot there lovely efforts almost put on target would have been
That was exciting a CRRs from game one
Little rear that could have been but now they come forward themselves
Jorias and CRRs to his right CRR again causing all sorts of trouble faking up bumps
doesn't get it in the end of now.
Odeo has to lose from defending.
Can't do it.
Zag is way too good for that.
And the 2v2 NA represents to get some 3-1 up.
Great execution from Zag.
And Zee gets underneath the ball,
gets it quickly into an air dribble demo position.
Very clean from Zag.
Excellent bounce back from SSG as a whole.
Very easily could have let this one get away from him.
But they respond here in game two now.
Fake kickoff gets them possession.
he has, will get shut down.
Have to be careful here.
That shot is saved.
And reveal will bail him out.
Because I have to do a quick jump there
to don't see her yet again.
But it works out so well for him.
But that maybe is an over extension.
I don't think that should get back.
It is 3-2 for 71 seconds left.
Oh, that's devastating reveal.
Doesn't get the reset.
And because of that, isn't able to do much on the ball.
Joryus takes it right off and basically
used them as a tee to shoot that straight back in.
That Diaz was counting on Reveal to do more with that ball,
or at least get a fifth or at least make sure there's not
a shot going directly back on net.
And now, trying to come through the defense.
Jorius, 50 sit-ups, Oli, and a nice clear onto Diaz.
Final minute, but SSG starting to lose a grip on their lead.
Oh, no, Jorius, there's CRO.
Will that be four?
So close, CRO.
We can just get it onto the 5th board where Zach weighs the reveal person away
And it's another freebie for SSG. You thought maybe they would get out of the piece
So the disastrous play on defense by NIP
CRR tried to delay the inevitable but a great job by Zach revealed a pair up and punish
That defensive misplay from NIP back to a two goal lead
feel a little more comfortable now in field pass reveal off the backboard
reveal also taking it off CRR's car
That's just you not losing a bit of confidence
You know that gets it going all I've got to do is make sure they don't over commit the last 20 seconds
Hopefully they were watching the Twisted Minds versus Vulcans take from yesterday because it is loseable from here
If you make a couple of mistakes in your opponents play well as well as only he goes high
It means there's so much more than that though, it seems the SSG's game management in the end
has been enough to see them into this series.
What has to go for CRR flimps that any chance, it's not gonna happen.
This series is looking like yet another close one, James, but
it's seeming like both teams have got a shout here at making it to this grand finals.
It seems like that after these first two games without a doubt for
first game, clinical gameplay from CRR.
This game we saw SG pick up offensively and and I think for NIP they have to be a little bit worried about that
Especially Zach so good in that one opportunity he had it quickly get it into air dribble
demo play that little hesitation from Diaz a
Few defensive mistakes here and there
daily it from NIP
So I think for NIP that's gonna be their main concern. It's leaving things up on the back line
time. Also, he's given his
isolation plays. Everybody at
SSG so deadly. I mean, we didn't
quite see what led to that goal
there. It was a team dunk almost.
The defender hit it at the only
part of the pitch that was
covered by his own teammate,
and it didn't work. And you
can see the spread of score
there. He has a veil and Zach
all around that 500 mark. He
has a little bit lower of
454, but all of them involved,
all of them playing, no real
carry there, a true team performance from space station gaming and that's what they need, that's
what they need to do, they need to rely on each other in these pressure cooker situations. I mean
you've been looking at space station gaming throughout the season more than I have, how much
does that look like the real them? Are we seeing that online levels right now here at a semi-final
stage when it's national tour? That was much closer to it, what we've seen a lot of times is
SSG outpacing their opponent by far and they have been able to pull that off here against
NIP in that game making things very uncomfortable, but also they've stepped up and started to match the demo efforts
from NIP
17 total demos that game 9 from SSG 8 from NIP
Very physical game players in another demo there
I think that is probably going to be a staple of this series goal. So watch out for those effective demos
Such an important part of the game now that every player is so good and so capable
Well that's an over-convictment there. Jory should be able to put this one home.
I need to get a 30-cent pool game going on in this game.
Diaz trying to take some time, trying to pass it across mid, but no one was ready for it.
He was telegraphed, intercepted, immediately punished, so Diaz probably going to want that one back.
CRO was ready for it, but as they had, CRO was on, thank you very much.
So he says he's going to try and get the comeback straight away from the kick-up,
and trying to replicate Sierra from Game 1, but not able to do so.
Sierra is in that one, and Ole now is clearing his path for his teammate.
Juri is coming in again.
They're playing with their tails up right now.
They're looking pretty comfortable here in Game Number 3.
Ole, trying to control it off the wall.
But reset 50.
Push across to the line.
Sierra, a little pinch up.
Trying to get the setup.
Also got the boost steal.
This is great pressure from NIP.
Can they convert?
Ole keeps it closed.
It goes for the 50 and Ole will close the deal.
Yeah, the first goal was opportunistic, this one was pressure, and a lovely pass from Jerry as well.
And just watch, every time you see a goal from it, you will see Sierra making an absolute, absolute new sense of himself there.
On the opposition goal, and again, he's not like he's clearing them out of the way, but it's a little touch, he's making the jump.
He literally was clearing them out of the way. He fucked Zac off the back wall.
And then also, that was great control from Oli.
He recognizes that, okay, one player's getting bumped.
They have no boost.
If I just shoot it, they might be able to make the save.
So instead, he tries to keep it close.
Make sure he's taking advantage of the fact
that his opponents have no boost.
Oh, Zac almost getting that backflip redirected
from there.
It was scoreable, he was so close to it.
He had the reflexes, didn't quite have the positioning.
Jorri has to try and make it three.
It's getting defensive and into the pyjamas.
Nip looking good, not rushing things.
Wait, and the ASG passed the bull too.
The lonely on the left wall wants to get a pass here.
Oh, a shot here! It tries to conjure something up.
Isn't quite able to do so.
Sierra will try to turn.
Around 2.50.
Off the arc, out to the middle.
Ole! Has that taken away by Zach.
Now Darius will have to be a brick wall in the back.
Does get to stop.
Low boost for Zach.
Oli will move in to help out, Oli trying to pass that mid, Jorias does manage to steal that mid boost, that's got to be frustrating for Reveal.
Now Jorias putting that boost to work, going for the backward pass, it's hit right up the middle and a doink will send that down to the opposite corner, and IP now trying to break out.
A good one too, that really got them in a tough position defensively, but mid come again, this could be three this time!
CRR doesn't miss, it's 3-0!
Finally, loving this, Jorias to Oli to CRR.
It is a thing of beauty when you see the team passing play work out like that.
It's nice as well to see Jorias let himself go a little bit.
He's had some big moments, he's had some clutch situations so far in this tournament.
He's been the ice man so far for Nett.
You look at CRR, Oli next to him, huge smiles.
Jorias is just chilling, he's holding up his controller.
For some reason in this series, he seems to be in that Michelle somewhat, starting to show some expressions.
He's working well for the Nip.
It's an incredible leap for each other, but here's some taking pressure for Space Station.
We're going to get that one as far as he has, but the passes are there, and Sierra again is the reader of every pass for SSG.
Yeah, he is seeing the game so well.
And that's what I was saying yesterday about his Rocket League IQ.
It is off the charts.
He is reading the mind of his opponent. You saw him intercept the pass from Diaz. You see him land these buffs.
Know exactly where players are going to rotate to. Know exactly how they're going to try to dodge his buffs and devils.
Nothing is working. CRR is in their brain.
And that's enough of overnight either. CRR has been serious so far this season where he has chase.
He's got wall chase here. It's a little bit silly at times, but right now he's timing everything to perfection.
and he knows when to break rotation, knows when to dive in, right now.
He needed defensively.
So he leaves it to Jorrius, goes to the center, and there he is again,
reading yet another infield pass that is ridiculous.
Space station gaming can't land a pass to each other because CRR is always there.
We're approaching that final minute.
Another game where SSG has not managed to score a contact.
Do something here, tries to go high.
It's cleared off the back wall by only
Reveal reveal a lot to boost to do something here up to the ceiling got his flip
Get back down to Zach Zach keep it in the zone Diaz
Get much of a 50 and now CRR are gonna control it and the air goes for the wall
Oh reveal will tip it off to the side. They almost gets him
But it does do is just break SSG's concentration breaks that comes again. They need three goals in 38 seconds
He's taking a long, long way away, especially yes, again, but SSG play, tries to take a touch,
and Sierra is having absolutely none of it.
The performance from NIP, you almost wonder if he's gonna play another open net goal.
We've seen multiple open net goal over extensions.
You understand it in this situation for SSG.
They're trying to make it work, but Viel doesn't get the touches.
I think he also got cut off by Zac there, Zac got in his way, so he couldn't really
cut back in on the ball. Things go from bad to worse. This is a right off game for SSG.
And after getting beat like this again, you wonder if now is the time they're going to
have to call that time out.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Oh!
That's been interesting. You know what I said at times? With CMR, I can't get a little
bit silly. That has historically. Well, that was his teammate.
I think they're jumping into each other.
That was the most emotional we've seen out of Jory.
Yeah, it was. Like I'm going. So that's what he's been working for. The huge ridiculous
own goal. But now's the time to do it. When you're four nil up, maybe not when you're
three nil down, like it poor old exotic yesterday, that wasn't quite as funny for his teammates.
The thing is, the way Nip reacted is perfect. You've got a laugh there, you know, even with
the pressure situations. If that happens, you just have to giggle and move on. But
maybe that second goal will give a little bit of momentum to space station, because
I've gone from being completely shut out, to getting a couple and you're thinking,
Maybe, maybe, strong maybe, strong maybe, quite the speculation there, but for SSG at
least they didn't get shut out, like you're saying, at least they didn't get shut out.
One of the goals, big old goal, everybody ready to go next on that one, NIP feeling
great, NIP in the driver's seat right now, the cutoff there you saw from CRR Interception
the past over extensions from SSG, CRR, getting blocks, getting bumps. The team plays have been
there. We saw the team passing play from NIP even there. That was, you know, essentially a team
passing play. But this is what I was talking about, Jory, is to own the CRR to the top
bins. 57% shooting accuracy. I don't know if that includes that from only. I hope it does.
I hope the accident counts as a shot, unfortunately, for anyone.
It should be.
An own goal should count, yeah.
That's my campaign for future vs. the Rocket League.
Make sure own goals count.
You can see again, it's a crossbow from all of them, really.
I mean, CRR, the eye test seems like the best player to me so far,
but they're all effective.
Yeah, I mean, I think they're all just serving different roles, Cole,
right now, and CRR is certainly the most visible
because he's been upfield playing that disrupter playstyle.
He's been landing a lot of bumps and demos that have really made life much easier
But you look at the situations where you know he's bumping you still have to have somebody put that away
Only when he had that opportunity after the bump on the back wall that CR landed on Zach low boost people goes for a
Wonderful light little touch and then secures that goal. That's not a gimme goal. You're still having to work for that
so various only
CRR are all playing their parts, all contributing to these wins so far, but for SSG, they need to figure something out.
We have not seen that same level of mechanical excellence that we've come to know them for.
That seems speed that we've come to know them for.
They'll try to get a go in there with the ceiling play, and it has led to this immense amount of pressure.
Pressure the space station do take that opening on you got to say it's been coming
Diaz completely changed the angle of all that with that pass and then Zach chasing as well was key a little bit of their own
medicine there really nice
All around played from the team
Zach the power Diaz
The vision to get it to Zach Zach not giving up on the play going for that extra bump and the finish was there
So that is a huge positive sign for SSG, especially when they have been struggling to score.
So a great start to the game, but they get one on Jorias! Blasps this off the bar!
82km per hour. I wonder how much pace the bar took off the ball there,
because I thought you could hit a rocket leap ball that much harder than Jorias.
Just dead. Yeah, we were shocked to hear.
I thought it was gonna can it up and go out but no straight in I mean
It's like that sound you heard off the bumper of his car. He hit that ball so hard
He did his great flying as well at the crossbar there reveal cause he also some drama Sierra
I can't do too much only has to help him out
This game is definitely being SSG's despite that equalizer for Nip and the better team so far
He's sitting in the last game was in their half 60% of the time right now blue and the team that can't escape
When we're starting to see SSG work in those demos to get a little bit of space, Diaz
landing that demo on CRR, opening up that opportunity for reveal.
We'll see if they can continue to land those demos in the midfield, trying to give some
space to their mechanical players to start making full solo plays.
But right now we have CRR going for goal saved off to the side by Diaz, but a big
Reveal, gonna try to get this round and he hits it off the post and it's a tiny angle!
Somehow it's kept out!
Reveal so close to knocking that in.
Sima is gonna go in three different times on three occasions.
Is she gonna have to keep on coming? Great edge of a bump there from Zack.
Diaz pushing it to the side. SSG all momentum right now.
Nip surviving just about. Diaz takes a touch.
to touch. Jorahe's in front of him at an awkward angle. So Jorahe's can't do too much,
he's forced in towards CRR, who's charged as a good one. He goes all the way across
now, a shot for Jorahe's, goes to the pot shot, no reveal, won't get this miss.
So all knit players swoop to the right side as SSG come back again. Byerty has
couple of touches. In comes Zack. Is this two? No! Saves again when the ball was
within the goal. And IP camping out on that goal line, they've been able to
make these snaps, but how long can they pull this off? All the way up against
Zack, Zack, 50s at low, CRR, 1 for 50 again,
kills it right on the sideline.
Notorious to the air, reset, all these wide.
Ball never makes it there.
Diaz in his own corner is going to go for a 50.
It's back to the opposite corner of SSG.
Nippon definitely put themselves back into this game.
It all belongs to SSG, but the last 30 seconds or so,
it's been a lot more even.
The Ninsenba Germans actually getting some decent touches
on the bull but that one's well blocks by a heel.
I push it to the side of the CRR again, just causing havoc and then he puts the pass in
but it's a little bit in front of the jury's.
Had that player bid there ready for that pass across.
Oh my god!
Oli trying to defend the shot, it was going to be post out but ends up bouncing off
Oli and into the net.
But a nice effort there from Diaz making it as awkward as possible on Oli.
NIP, while they've been able to make a lot of more saves, they have been forced back so many times, and now they take the Viper.
That's where they were starting to break through themselves. In comes Diaz, here he comes again into the centre, reveals already up.
He uses the waterfall. Wants to get this read and force it into a flip reset.
Not nearly there.
Sierra and Oli on the back wall, neither of them have any boost. They both have to try and fly at the ball.
Sierra is in such an awkward position. Zach bullies his way through.
One, two, punch for SSG, and that's three-one.
SSG, heck of a game, big stabilizing game.
You can see the emotion.
SSG, they have not lost any fight.
They are still hungry, still battling despite having some tough losses.
Looks like they're going to be able to equalize this series unless we see NIP pull off some magic here.
Might see a board goal.
Another decent start but another goal Diaz picks up his hat trick with that one.
He had a dam as well and truly broken in this one.
SSG keep on coming Diaz, it's been at the heart of what they've been doing so far.
The goal that SSG got where only put it in, I think it was the respect that he had for Diaz.
He knew he'd do something, you feel you have to pre-jump.
And then there was Diaz after with all the pace in the world.
And now Diaz is the one that's reading the nip infield passes.
He's downloaded this game and put it on his back
You're an SSG fan the world with what you saw this game
They easily could have crumbled I mean that play from reveal when he thought he was gonna score it
Oh on that tight angle it hits off the post
Doesn't go in what if it easy to give up there, but SSG keep on trucking and now putting up four
4. Diaz again there. Huge pinch to Chris and pressure. A hatchet from three shots from
the Brazilian. The 1v1 rep from North America and here he is taking control of the ball
and fucking his own goal. Completely comfortably. Sierra will steal that ball but he's got
no boost so that should be able to shield this but Sierra somehow got a nipple and
it is 2-4. Diaz had that taken from him. CRR so smart again. Just trying to get
the ball going towards it and then immediately go into both mode still a
chance 30 seconds left two goals needed for an IP see if they have a kickoff
track but girls would go clean nature is music for Sierra who fucking is the
world's not bullies but only only for the corner and we have life James a simple
cheat
CRR the wave dashes well perfect setup to be able to do that CRR has been so
good on low boost I can't express how difficult it is to be that fast and that
precise when you don't have much in the tank. 22 seconds left Jorias of the catch
only 2 is left he tries to get it too early that isn't quite able to do so
CRR watches this bull just go to the pinch knowing said he takes control of
it then he uses this dodge Jorias in front of the bull can't quite connect
10 seconds left Nick needs something. Yes, only for the 50. Set backwards Jorias
will have boost to work with. He's going to launch it off the CRR. He's going to control it in the air.
CRR goes for a 50. He's airborne. Only has to get there. Does so, but doesn't get the touch he's looking for.
He was trying to roll it up the wall. He was trying to get it to bounce off that arc and go airborne.
So a misplay there from all. He couldn't get the pinch either.
And that will end the game. Close call in the end for SSG. It wasn't as
pretty as it was shaping up near the end, NIP making a run, but regardless, SSG stepping up,
Diaz getting that hat trick, and overall SSG having the offensive initiative,
having way more chances to score than NIP in that game.
Having 16 shots along the way as well, if he has got 612 points, a huge performance from him.
That moment seemed like it was going to be one of those days for space station
and the surviving hand has been going their way,
but it's nice to just wait to get the pressure going,
and then that's also about the respect.
Only just assumes that Diaz is going to do something brilliant.
That's what he's expecting also on that shot
to go more towards the center of the net.
It was a perfect shot behind him by Diaz.
Diaz so insane in the air with those flip resets.
Showing you why.
And now, big stabilizing game here for SSG.
We are tied up in this year's call you set up to start you felt like this one could go along. Well, it's already
delivered at least
Six games so it is it has been a treat so far. What a way to start the game
definitely
In that last game knit totally boost up as well by space station
Just how space station that's so much
Territory pressure as well as the best performance in the game. We've seen so far this series from SSG
But every game brings us a new start, a new chance for both teams, so things going again.
DS has control here, Jorias has to watch his opponent all the way, CRR always happy to play
on zero boost, gets a great touch towards Oli, can only compete, the jump against it
down, is nearly there, and DS gets it onto Jorias and pushes it inside, and she has
that space station here, and that's a two-nose swing and that is massive!
A gift to SSG!
Jory is a bit too close.
That is heartbreaking for NIP.
You think you're going to score.
It was a brilliant first touch around the defender.
You're thinking this is the first goal of the game for NIP.
They missed the opportunity and are immediately
punished on the other end.
Yeah, that was twice.
Reveal's coming forward again.
Could double the damage.
I expect that the team loses this one.
We'll take that tactical timeout
because neither team has used theirs.
Because both times, we've had games being lost with momentum being built in the end for the losing team.
It does make a big difference. It does make a big swing.
Jorias gets this read. CRR tries to...
...nunchuck reveal, but reveal was too quick with his wave dash.
CRR to the back. Wall is wall-red by Zack, but there's a dunk there by CRR.
He has to be aware it is.
Good play from Diaz.
Holy, you're trying to duck under. 50 right back to Jorias.
Jorias testing Zack.
There's a demo as well.
Zach, 0-2 for Ville on the respawn.
Diaz, not even enough boost to get to that ball.
Ville trying to bounce.
CRR will let that bounce off the back wall.
Diaz...
Slow things down.
Jorias with a little...
Ah, also had to be cut in front of Oli.
Oli had to retreat back, couldn't jump to that ball.
CRR...
Now Jorias, Jorias to Oli.
Oli...
Perhaps looking for a CRR passive field that couldn't connect.
Jorah is trying to go there from the ceiling but he didn't quite work out and revealed to come forwards.
Again, way too much time in space, the space station as far as nip are concerned.
Does work out okay. Jorah is taking out the game but got a touch for his troubles.
Sacrifice was not in bait, especially if he can get this boost down the ball, not there.
Because Zack, it's a great touch into the centre, there's a miss there from CRR.
Space station trying to walk their way forward so that more likely, but completely safe from the next threat right now
Crazy second touch from Zach. No one's reading that
Torious reset in the 50 only feet to the ball by reveal who has that midfield
CRR
Off the side wall one more down bounces high only being chased only he's popped
Couldn't control his car well enough to get that save and SSG are now up by two.
Yeah, such a tough position for Oli. Hit the crossbar twice.
You can see him trying to wriggle away from Zack.
And Zack was getting it in the entire time.
SSG follow through.
Double their lead with just over half this game left.
And the half break is completely backfired for Nip.
Space Station take another freebie in this series.
Everything has gone wrong for NIP in this game.
the game Diaz calls the bluff ends up winning the pot.
And you just think back to that first goal of the game.
Call it was the double tap attempt from Oli
such a good beat around the defender.
You think at least it's going to be a cleanup goal
and somehow was cool on the other end.
That was the Omen that NIP received for this game
Go next, this one.
Nip's in completely broken in spirit in this game.
Oli's had a nightmare, frankly.
I think he's been the last man back for all four of the goals, maybe?
At least three of them.
It's been a little penis-tholid.
Huge ducks against him, but I mean, yeah.
What are you going to do there?
Jorias just, again, teed up the balls.
He has pounds great on him.
I think Jorias is not expecting such a quick challenge.
I think Jory is not expecting such a quick challenge, perhaps the ball blocking his vision on Diaz.
Diaz reading the play well, and we do see one goal for NIP, so the march back begins now with just under two minutes on the clock.
I mean, so far it's already been a march back, it's been a crawl back, but let's see if they can convert that into a march and then a sprint.
There is still time. That is the one thing that's on Nick's side so far this game. 1 minute 58 seconds left.
How's this kickoff? Hopefully we won't give another 3-1 away.
Joris will be able to win this one thing then, he does so.
The ceiling with him wants to try to put in something majestic that he isn't quite able to.
Are we going to need this ball? Needs to not get dumped.
Doesn't do it. And SSG have proven time after time so far this time.
How good they are from this position. Won a few goals ahead, but
we can touch for Nick. We'll let them in.
There's a few hard chances here, James.
Oh, John's just giving it a shot.
There was a bump, just about how they managed to get the ball.
Yeah, even after getting bumped by Dory,
he's still getting that touch on the ball.
That one was going in.
Great concentration there to get the save through the contact.
And that really was the deciding moment there.
Down by three.
And the time continues to take away.
Wonderful game out of SSG.
And then we still see an IP making a few of those missteps.
Last game it was defensively this game offensively missing some chances that really punished them.
It comes out trying to make it five.
They want to make a statement here in this series space station.
And then the Neo Tokyo awaits whatever happened in this last 45 seconds.
They don't let me get the bit between their team and how they fully have that momentum.
Of course, the timeouts are alive as Joros gets the skim, it's going to pass the post.
And this is the event where tactical timeouts have seen a debuff.
Only 35% has been won by the team that's had to take them.
The space station will hold all the cards in 25 seconds when this game ends.
I
Be wonder if we're gonna just go next or call that timeout timeouts haven't been all that effective here at the eFords World Cup
Almost been a debuff only a 34% win rate after timeouts
And I be trying to get one for the road and it is possible. I've seen some crazy stuff recently
So I don't want to tell
The graphic spokes to update the overlay just yet. It does feel like you could but
Better safety sorry. Well, we'll see. Let's see if they've got any wonderful in them from the kick-offs
I think this baby ready to be comfortable for such as to make sure
Mr.. Ball she's sort of has but the as was waiting
This is G see it away and go within a
game of a grand final as
As Ninsan Pajama is a force to take their tactical time out and remember that debuff, so it's not quite the guaranteed game that it was just yet.
NA James of 1ft into having their first team in the Grand Final in 2026.
What a run it would be for SSG to finally make a grand finals, a major event in the Esports World Cup.
And you know this is a clash between two dark forces in my opinion Cole, two teams
where I don't think many people would have predicted either SSG or NIP making it all
the way to the Grand Finals.
No, not at all.
I mean I had rebellion over SSG, I tentatively had an RG over SSG this event and if I
made a plan to make an EU team to make the Grand Final they would not have been
it.
They've battled, they've scratched their way here there.
He's here to fight the entire time.
And look better as the tournament has gone on and speaking of looking better,
yeah, I've just seen the same thing you have.
783 points for Diaz.
And another hat-trick.
And another hat-trick, it's the first time score-wise
we've seen a true carry in this series, I think.
And Diaz has been the player that's been leading the way in that regard.
Yeah, and another hat-trick to add to his tally in this series, Diaz.
Stepping up big time for SSG who also shot very well that game over 57% shooting on
SSG side so
We're seeing some composed
Gameplay from SSG the belief is there and I think that is a great sign for North American Rock League
There's so much of in ace history
You've been talking about the first killer team this this year today, you know, it's Shopify Rebellion
talk about NRG all the time. It has been a while since we've had a real elite contender
outside that group you normally see rise up. But that has been SSG here at the Esports World
Cup. They have risen to this occasion finally getting international result after international
result. They've been forged through the fires of the Esports World Cup and now
they are hardened in slicing through their competition one last step that
grand final but the pressure wraps up all over again you know we've seen players
who've made plenty of grand finals still choke at that stage you have to on the
right to even do that SSG as you can see there within one they just have to
survive Neo Tokyo and the final is theirs but never got something to say
about it James and I'm sure we're going to see more explosions from them see if
they can close out their opportunities there's a demo by reveal Jorias
taking off the pitch CRR 50 deny only a shot but still trying to get that
middle Jorias denied by Diaz Diaz another great challenge Diaz playing
brilliantly out the gate in this game 6 for SSG.
Nityaz has been the star for SSG.
Perhaps this entire tournament only booms it long.
CRR gets it towards Jauriz.
Jauriz who is waiting wants to first engineer a pass back.
It's faked there but it's fred again
and happy had another nip over commit.
Nityaz on the counter attack.
Jauriz in front of him.
Nityaz get it passed in, not quite good defending from Jauriz
and then Oli should be able to help out
but that's a great touch there from Zack.
Onto the back wall.
Jauriz finally gets it away from Nityaz.
But just for a second, I thought we'd seen an echo from the last game over commits.
See how stretched Finn NIP is.
This as a Shi attack, so dynamic, so quick, so smothering.
Full shot.
And that's dangerous.
CRR has to hit it out to the opposite corner.
You can see uncomfortable NIP is at the moment,
but did you break out Darius with boost as well?
Tries to go for a bump, but reveal Dodges it.
And the VL has been doing a good job of dodging those Obama attempts when he's been last back,
especially in these later games in the series.
Sierra has a hundred boosts on his own back board.
It's the slight early thought he'd be able to go for that ball, but instead it pulls to SSG
and they continue to move towards the mid-goal early.
Good first dunk.
Second one, not quite so good because Diaz had to read on him.
But how is that?
Whenever the ball goes to SSG's heart, they seem to have the boost to deal with it.
to deal with it. It seems to be able to come forwards with a solo play. Only,
and Jari is both of them on that ball. I think he'll definitely have to not do his
double commit. Sierra has the ball under his control but he has it in the corners.
It's a little bit awkward to do anything with it. Again that seems to be the
tail of the take-chains. When the nip comes forwards, this is not that avenue.
There's not that real approach to attack. When SSG, they were always at
least looks dangerous. Well you saw on that attack. Sierra just didn't have
the boost. Doesn't have boost either on this one. Has to fling it deep. So,
So the ground battle being won so far by SSG, but NIP hanging in there, waiting for that
one opening reveal again, making sure he doesn't get bumped to get that touch.
CR, did he backflip what went on there, he could see it's very awkward for NIP, but still
a nice 50, will push this deep downfield.
And they've finally got it forwards, but they have to keep it hand with some boost
as well, even Reynaloli's got nothing to play with, I don't know where all
boost is going. Something or someone from SSG is stealing everything. You can barely play
the same game as SSG right now. On the eye test, it's certainly an SSG's game, but conveying
games with the hardest things to do is going to hit the post that side, and it's smothered
away again, net, living so dangerously, James. There are barely surviving. SSG continues
to be on the attack, CRR, lead man, going for the bump, that's all it takes, cool, one CRR
bump and they finally break through. CRR is an absolute nightmare, who turns after completely
faking going for the ball, it is rare to shock D-Aps, you know he's such a smart player,
of course he's a 1v1 player, he knows all the tricks and CRR still pulled the wool
over his eyes there to make it one nil nip and they've had everything against them this game.
Anxiety inducing gameplay from CRR. If you're playing against him you just don't know what he's gonna do
and you know he's already got his crosshairs on you.
So wait for this one though, that's coming forward. Once again the early equalizer
reveal awaits. Once again SSG always coming forward with full boost.
It's a play patiently. Now they don't need to rush, they're still just under 80 seconds left.
really can make it even better right now for Nick.
Take this game.
What will that do to the hearts of the space station gaming players?
They can force them into a game seven, and the pressure is at its absolute highest.
Or else is she be able to deal with it?
See if there's any last minute attack.
Shaking up Zack does have the boost.
Looks for reveal, reveal.
Does get a pass off the back wall.
Just off target! Felt like Diaz had a chance, it looked squarable.
But Diaz not able to rise to the occasion on that shot.
Still, the attack is ongoing. Reveal will turn with boost.
50, kill. Jorius will get upfield and 50 that down.
Or punch that downfield, rather.
Oh
Danger again there from CRR 20 seconds left now space station need to get something going CRR
We'll be able to get this boost
We cannot to slow the pull down if he chooses to of course doesn't the CRR Jorias gets it high
10 seconds left now space station trying to get hold of this ball Diaz loses out to only more great 5050s
Oh, this could be the setup has to be now is that has revealed in the center gonna get it to him not with CRR there
Yeah, we've stolen game six.
Didn't have a lot of boost on that challenge.
They never did.
They couldn't inside a game.
CRR had a half to take.
But it was enough.
Plenty of boost to get that stop.
Huge play from CRR landing that bump.
That was really the only goal of the game
thanks to the good thinking of CRR.
Now we see a timeout being called from SSG.
We are going the distance in this one.
And for SSG, this is not something
that they're pouring to, Cole.
They have either swept or gotten a distance
in every series that they can play.
Each year in these courts will have come.
So we could have predicted that out there.
A couple of games.
They went the distance against MIBR,
they went the distance against Rebellion.
And now they're going the distance against an IP.
six shots from Diaz alone. There were nine from Space Station, only seven from Nip in a game that
they've just won one nil. So, S.S.G. will have their frustrations for sure. I wonder if that's the
main thing that Expert is talking them through right now, just saying, look, the gameplay was
absolutely fine there. You play that seven times, you win it seven. And the possession was there
for S.S.G. They had 57% possession that game. They had even that shot from Diaz. That looked
like it was a goal scoring opportunity that they put away I mean SSG is playing well enough to win
they could have put that game away yeah but we've seen it from NIP over and over again these guys
just don't give up they don't quit and they find a way to win and they don't have talked about
experience throughout this series I said right at the top of this cast SSG on average 18 years
pretty much to the day for his nip 21 and 2 thirds almost 22 years old for it
Which is pretty much four years, and I don't know about you James
But I was a very different person between 18 and 22 so there's a lot of years that a lot of important years
But I mean
It's it's true
You know, you see the experience clearly in the favor of NIP, but I think that raw top, that ability, that speed, undeniably there for SSG, but can they hold up to the pressure?
They've been able to do it so far. Both of these teams made it through the upper bracket to playoffs.
Both of these teams winning the quarterfinal match, so they are both on a hot streak.
But one hot streak will come to an end here and one team will punch their ticket to the grand finals
Who will it be in IP horse-face station game? Well, the man on the ball right now, Diaz
There's been SSG's best player, but he missed a huge chance in the last game
You can't get him six shots in this one though if you're knit. It's a person they'll have to change
SSG tweet themselves
Reveal has this bull, Jorias pushes it to the side, Oli's already there, and Nick seems to already be quicker in this game than the entire team at the last one.
Jorias almost scoring, and this is she having to do some defending now.
Nice start here for an IP-AWT initiative.
Reveal up and over, is that going in? It looks like it is!
A beat down field turns into a goal!
Reveal!
Dusting Jorias!
And in Game 7, SSG strike first!
Yeah, I think Jorah is still yet to do something after only just slammed the ball into his opponent's corner.
The opponent's corner, one of the most dangerous places for you in Rocket League,
and theory on the most safe place for them, even though it's closer to their goal.
That's the evidence of the ball bounces off.
And it can go anywhere, and it went into Nip's goal.
And Nip needs to be careful that they don't do a vitality and completely throw away Game 7,
Because it can happen so quickly James, off to all the way you put into get hit.
You're right Cole.
You cannot afford to lose focus at this point.
You worked so hard to get here.
SSG.
Last game 57% possession, he's still lost, but it looks like
just a few mistakes off from closing it out there.
See them get that beat early, this goal early.
This is gonna be tough for NIP to bounce back from.
Sierra, I guess it forwards, would be a lovely couple of touches from him.
Zack's gonna wait for this one. Yeah, I don't know if that was a shot or a pass, it was sort of both there from the end.
I mean, it looked like the option was there to go through that pass to Zack, but Zack didn't want to dive in on that.
He needed that pass to be a little more lateral.
And he keeps it on the floor, yes.
Just a swan, Jarius, trying to get it forward since the plan is to really get to explode into this semi-finals, Jarius.
We've seen him perform incredibly, particularly in the past, in grand finals.
So we can do it, I guess, in stages, but so far he's in the most secure games.
Zack's already up here, gets it past Oli, and that's a lovely goal for SSG.
And this is smart from Reveal as well.
He fakes like he's going to hit it, and that opens up the bounce for Diaz to be able to go for that pass.
And a great finish from Zack as well.
Let's go from bad to worse for NID, but SSG showing you what they're made of.
Fake kick-off again from SSG, so still putting out their own tricks, nothing to say from CRR.
I won't quite make it in, Zac was ready for it, only will keep up the attack, revealed.
We'll be next to this one though, gets it as far as Zac.
And the game's approaching halfway, and it's starting it well, but since SSG scored,
they've been the better team, they're not about to make it through, and the floor pinch is on for Zac,
But he can't quite get it.
John is well from Reveal, who's been so good in this series.
Real, reliable on the back line, creative on the front line.
SSG have two goals, gonna get a third.
Diaz fakes the double. The shot is good!
Reveal off the pass from Diaz.
Another brilliant goal for SSG. Diaz slums it to the back wall
back wall and fakes out everybody from Nip. Reveal was on the same wavelength and
Space Station are looking mighty likely to get Reveal and Zack's first ever
land Grand Final. T.S. had it in 1v1 but that's all. It won't get any easier only.
That's the first one to the center but Zack's won that one as well and right now
James Nip are tripping up over each other. They are in, you can see they're
the fight, slowly getting beat out of them.
Under two minutes left, NIP, nothing to show.
It has been a shooting spree here for SSG.
They're just taking shot after shot after shot.
NIP forced to make save after save after save.
Offensively, almost no chances here for NIP.
And this might be another one.
It is going to be a fourth goal for SSG.
This one looks done and over.
The kids are more than coming of age right now.
Assuming there's not an entire collapse in the last 90 seconds or so,
that the Falcons are calming off to deal with later.
But that's a problem for a couple of hours time for now.
They can enjoy this moment. They can drink in the experience.
They've grown around each other, built upon each other's experiences.
And this is what it leads to, James, at Game 7, where they have looked imperious.
It has been a beautiful game for SSG out of the very gate.
They easily could have crumbled. They easily could have gotten down on themselves.
The mental strong for SSG in this series.
And I think this is such an important result for them.
This could be the moment where we really see SSG ascend to that elite level, competing for titles at these events.
What a time to get high.
SSG look like they're about to be in the grand-fuck pressure.
SSG grew into the game and it was all too much for them to deal with.
Space Station were just too good in the end, and to be honest, even in game 6, James, the one that Mip won, SSG were the better team.
It's just this time they've taken their chances.
I agree with you Cole. SSG looked brilliant this series. They don't fold under the pressure.
They rise to the occasion. SSG take down NIP and are headed to the Grand Finals.
Meanwhile, NIP are going to have to dust themselves up and look forward to a third place match.
40,000 dollars on the line, different 60K or 100K if you win that, but SSG won't care
about the first place match, I've got a grand final to look forward to, a 400,000 dollar
top prize is on the line, this is their finest moment, we are seeing them coming of age
in front of our very eyes, we've been waiting for this moment, if you're in
in a band you have been hoping to see another North American team rise to the top.
SSG has delivered.
NA showing their depth.
If you would have told me at the beginning of this event that NA would make a grand final
I would have assumed that it was NRG or it was going to be Shopify Rebellion
but it is SSG that is representing NA in the grand finals
And to talk about it, a prodigy over on SSG, Zach down on the main stage.
A prodigy, indeed, Zach of SSG locking in that spot in the grand final.
Parry, Fett DuPuis makes some nice for Zach in SSG!
Zach, I just want you to look out, just take a second, look out at this crowd, look at that trophy,
The situation that you are in right now most players fight their entire career for opportunities like this
You've done it at 16 does it feel real?
What does it feel like I don't even know how to explain it's just incredible
You know what it was also incredible watching you and your teammates as the pressure seems to build more and more
It's like you become more and more composed
Who is it on your team that brings that calm energy the most in life?
I mean I think all of us do that's something we really focus on is staying calm and I feel like I mean it's paid off
I mean like I said yesterday everybody keeps talking about you being like I guess the young team that's
Coming of age in front of our eyes here. Do you think about that?
Are you even aware of I guess the young age across the board of your team or are you just playing Rocket League?
We just focus on playing we don't worry about that. At what point here in the tournament
Did you start to get the belief that you weren't just here to play you were here to
win this thing which win was it where you were like hey guys we could actually do
this I mean we come in a tournament with that belief simple as that yeah so how
glad are you that you came back from your retirement now you're standing here
today I mean I'm pretty happy it's amazing well congratulations again you're
in that grand final there's another thing we need to do so we go and crush
another key yeah let's do it let's do it Zach another big moment here at the
World Cup come and join our keymaster.
What a performance, what a story that we are witnessing.
Unfold here in Paris.
SSG putting North America on the map
and emerging as a true talented team.
But their opponents spend all week breaking brackets,
breaking hearts, and truly breaking expectations.
But for MIP, the final thing to break is their key.
NRP is out, Zac, you're still in this, let's get, do you know where I want to take you
right now?
I want to take you to the trophy because your once here is away here, all it takes is one
more win and you get to put your hands on this piece of silverware, hoist it high in
the air, come and have a look at it, it says here in French, nothing is granted,
You could earn the opportunity to lift it. What would that mean to you?
I'm in and we're on one of the biggest tournaments of the year and it would be incredible.
KC or Falcons, who do you want?
We're fine with you there.
I love that confidence. Big ups to Zach and to SSG in the grand finals of Rocket League and Esports World Cup.
The only thing left to do now is find out who they'll face.
I
Double mid, double mid, okay, okay, okay, your last, take time, I'm fine, I'm ready, nice, I'm going to bomb that, nice, I'm going to disperse, I'm one, I bang, you, you, I'm fine, I'm going to one, I'm ready, double, you, I actually shot
Let's go!
Let's go!
Christian!
We are in the last map of the competition, so glitter, tell us about it.
us who we think is gonna be walking away with the win here today and what we can be expecting.
It's gonna be hard to say and listen it's been insane all day long. We technically could have
ended the tournament at match two. Wow. We're eligible starting at match two. Two teams and
it's just not stopped since then. We're now in the sixth final match and it's still up in the
air. S2G did go out. They were one of our smash point eligible. Okay. However if we're
We're talking about CC and how this could play out, Aurora Gaming, our Smashpoint eligible.
They're still alive right now, I don't really know what's happening behind us, but there
is some potential for them to take this whole thing home.
Wow, alright, well that's good to know, thank you so much for that update, of course, once
we do find out who is winning here, over for Fungi Mobile later.
Welcome, sir Ocalee.
Welcome to EWC.
Oh, you guys are here already. Just in time for the Sony Media Day Tour.
Alright, that's us ready. Let's go find the players.
We need to be quiet here, but let's head over this direction and see where the players are up to.
It looks like Hero Shelter about to get started. I think Vulcans are in there right now.
I think Kenix, the interview, maybe?
Yeah.
Interview.
Alright, let's get going.
Make sure you save things in Arabic.
You have to save very confidently, without any stutters.
You look at the camera, and you're very confident.
I'm going to win the whole thing.
Yeah, exactly.
You're going to win the whole thing, you're going to be pacey, everything.
I think Kenix, the interview, maybe?
Yeah, interview.
Alright, let's get going.
You're on a wonderful thing, you're going to be facing everything.
So there's lots of interviews happening at the same time, careers in here.
But simultaneously, we come across here, we can interview multiple players at once.
Alright guys, let's see what's happening in here in the flex set.
This is very new to me, but I've got a lovely man here to explain it all.
Well, Daniel, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, John, it's a pleasure.
What exactly happens in here?
This is the flex set.
This is where we, I think we have the most fun.
I would like to think so.
We'll give them a refund.
Okay, let's go see.
Wish, wish, oh.
I have a list of keys and I have only one key key.
Oh, because you're cheating, boy.
No, I have no key key.
I think I'm the cheating one.
I'm sorry, I'm so busy.
I'm just going to leave him to it.
I'll be here if you need me.
Thank you.
One of the most epic events in Rocket League history continues to unfold live in Paris.
Welcome back to the Esports World Cup where you can see a jam-packed STC arena waiting
on that team.
They go by the name of Carmencourt.
The other half of this fan base probably going to be rocking some kind of green and gold cheering
with their drums alongside the Falcons fans that have been here since weeks here.
Welcome in everybody.
It's Chris looking alongside Stumpster and Hercules.
I want to start with you, Herc.
This is a big battle.
These are some familiar opponents.
Is this an inter-regional rivalry that we should be tuning into?
Oh yeah.
This is arguably one of the biggest and loudest matches of the year.
Oh my goodness.
I think that this is really the moment they want to settle it once and for all because both of these teams are trying to
Rewind here at the EWC.
Yeah, yeah, just power through it. You're doing great, Luis.
Something we got to take a look at some of the graphics here because the Falcons, they are very much in the hunt for their third club championship in a row.
They are your 2024, 2025 club championship winners.
And with $7 million on the line, they are 400 points behind AGAL.
Both are already eligible to win this whole thing.
So now you're gathering as many points as possible.
And then down in the bottom right corner, you got Carmencourt,
who by making it this far into the semifinals has now broken 1,000 points.
A win here, that will move them all the way up to 11,
which is $550,000, a $500 million difference from their current seed.
And then the great thing here for Falcons too is that AGAL,
Only they're not here on championship Sunday.
They're not here in Rocket League at all, right?
Not been able to earn any points.
thousands would be very happy about that.
And there's some good company to come in talk
if they could also make it to the finals
along with Liquid and the like.
Let's take a look at Carmen core
and find out why all these fans
are getting loud for this squad.
They represent France, of course,
and they had to take down
another hometown hero squad in Vitality.
It was an all French battle last night.
The derby goes to a game seven,
But I've thought it didn't feel like a semi-game series stuff.
That's right.
Yeah.
I mean, Vitality have got a little bit of a weird habit at the moment of looking not that good.
They're looking incredible, again to game 7, and they've been absolutely stomped on.
Calm in court, they ended it out incredibly strong.
And I think it's just disappointing when we thought we were going to get an amazing
end to the series.
And instead, we saw a couple of own goals and just a rump from KC.
Yeah, unfortunately, you know, if you did miss that series, but you watched the
last it was very similar to the ending of that SSG squad just kind of absent for them
well at least for Vitality right but for Vatira, Jucia and Atal they went into that with a plan
that was a goal they have been very consistent with Vitality I expect the same with them
throughout everybody else they're going against especially in this head-to-head
because they won against them so consistently for the last 15 times.
Vatira has had the number of Zens since the beginning of time.
Can he take down Drowy, the new star on the Falcons?
We caught up with him behind the scenes in CJ.
Here with Vatira from KC, a huge semifinal coming up against Falcons.
We've been waiting all year all season for you to play Drowy to play Falcons.
What are your thoughts on finally playing them?
It's going to be fun.
First time playing Falcons since a while, since World's actually, I think.
So yeah, it's going to be a good matchup.
and I'm happy to play against our skilers and drivers.
Yeah, for a team like obviously Dralion,
I feel like you're someone that sets yourself up for big games,
big finals.
Is this different than a normal match for you
because it is Dralion and his dolphins?
Not really.
I mean, we know it's going to be a tough matchup
because it's Falcons, but no, we take seriously
every final, every semi-final.
So yeah, it's a big match and we are going to give it a little.
And you look to be someone that does your replays,
your form on other teams.
What is it about Falcons that you guys will need to stop today?
I mean, we don't want them to, you know, eat us.
Because they know they are really fast, they play really good.
And mechanically, they are pretty solid, so yeah, we need to delight them as much as possible.
And then finally, anything you want to say to Drali, to your former teammate coming into the match, a little bit of spice?
Good luck to Drali, it's going to be a good game and I hope he enjoys it and I hope I win.
That would be the best of luck.
at the end of this weekend. I mean, he's already gone through the team,
I bet he has won an EWC with.
He went through a monkey man, both had such incredible journeys,
giving over to Mina.
And they also banished their demons and twisted minds
who have had their number at various points throughout this season.
Falcons also have an incredible journey here.
They're only through the semis, you know,
they've absolutely got their sights set,
not only on a club championship,
but on that final to take down SSG.
And the fun thing about these two squads, right,
is you know the Falcons and Carming Corp.
Quit Club championships in their back pockets for now.
There is a laser gun focus pointing forward
onto this matchup here.
The Falcons have been a little inconsistent
in the beginning of their series so far.
Same could be argued for Carming Corp.
However, at the end of the day,
the consistency between these two players right here
has made all the difference
throughout this 20-26 PWC.
We've got our fan pole rolling in and this is the closest it can mathematically get.
The closest we've seen in all weekend long.
It is 50-50 splits, so you two have to decide it.
I'm sorry with you, Stump, we've got 10 seconds.
He's going Carmen, where are you?
No, we're going, baby!
Whoa!
I've got to...
No, no, no, no!
Look at the finals and France can it be done?
Let's set it to the stage.
Ladies and gentlemen we have some of the most loud literally fans in eSports with us that
We're not going to be fighting against each other.
Les Falcons, les Karmines sont prêts.
Vous le voyez derrière nous, ils sont prêts à se battre, rien.
Hey, it's getting heated down here already.
It's all right. Hey, guys, guys, guys.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, shake out, shake out.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Here's one thing that we know for sure, Lou.
The ground is rumbling in here.
The STC arena, the atmosphere is electric.
And that is because we're about to find out
who will join SSG in the grand final.
You're going to have to be the better team
about Rocket League and I can't wait to discover which one of these Titans is gonna come on top here.
Alright, let's welcome them on to the stage, starting with Cami-Ca!
KC have not looked perfect this week but they have looked alive and when you are
the defending champions sometimes that's all you need. Last year KC ended
Balkansi in this very semi-final with Charlie wearing blue then went on to lift
the trophy. Today he's standing on the other side and on the other side the dark wall of
the big guys Falcons. They are the real base bosses and they became one of the biggest
and global e-sports and lot of EWC runner-ups.
They are the Saudis' pride and a huge danger in Paris.
It is the big Saudis' threat versus the blue wall.
And who's gonna get their tickets to the Grand Final?
Wow, talk about an atmosphere gentlemen, that's how Charlie take a look out at this
crowd they are ready for this I know that you both are too you've been here
before last year you raised this trophy together on the same team this time
only one of you will have that chance why will it be you because we're better
what why will it be you we won the vice-major simple as that yes do you
know what you guys have spent hundreds of hours playing together what would
What you say is his biggest weakness?
Me.
Living me afrail.
Okay, this is what I like.
One last hat shake.
Friends said rivals.
The crowd here is electric.
Parry!
Ready for the semi-final!
FET!
2-3!
Probably saying that Atom's biggest weakness is him, and Atom trying to get it right back
to him.
Valkyries vs. Army Corp here in the semifinals.
The crowd has shown up for this one, Chiefs.
Absolutely, and no surprise there.
Probably the most anticipated match for a lot of people today.
It has the makings of everything you'd want and a good opportunity for both these
teams honestly that's how with how physically was yesterday lots of demos
don't get hit Falcons that's all you got to say bro he put a 15 in what game
yesterday was crazy as they went into yesterday averaging 7.6 demos a game
and they somehow increase that average to almost eight after that series against
Vitality with Falcons and Drolley this is Drolley's first time facing his old
since he left them for Falcons.
If you work all the way on the stage and save me,
yeah, if you don't put up at least four goals this year,
you're going to die.
And then we have a really good saying is killers.
Killers has had one heck of a tournament.
And the head to head we have the Wasp there.
Obviously always great quality play,
but killers continues to be a threat on offense.
He is an absolute man.
see their synergy when they need to be on lock here. They were excellent against
Vitality yesterday despite that series going seven. This one no doubt gonna be
a bit faster pace. Gonna be creative no doubt about that. These two teams are
extremely dynamic on offense. Great vision, great patience. They'll take their
time. There's gonna be a lot of pikes. There's gonna be a lot of badness. It's
going to be a lot of fun.
Falcons will start.
They try with a bonk kickoff.
Clear back to K-Corps half.
Batira up against the Killers.
Juicy on the spawn.
And as Hato right there, there's
Falcons already getting some early physicality in.
Nice catch from Trolley, but good 50 from Batira.
trying for a dunk.
He's got the midfield boost as well, the Juicy's ready on the back wall,
and kind of an unsung hero yesterday as well against Vitality.
Juicy was such a clean series yesterday.
He'll be a big factor in this one.
He showed a lot of great command around the defense half of the ball.
I gotta agree.
He needed somebody to bail you out of an awkward spot.
Juicy was there for Garmin Core,
and I tell you, Falcons loves to put people in awkward spots.
Killers works his way through the midfield line.
Misses the power slide.
Dash, Ross, needing a little help, won't be able to dig it off the sidewall.
Revolver, do you see Alex to take his time over the top of the 1?
And Ross break it up, Drowley with speed, aiming for the double tap, and...
Oh, stop!
...of our killer, will poke it out to the side.
Revolver got away, killer's had to stretch for it, Ross came in as well.
By some time for Falcon, Strowley next up, off the ceiling.
Killer's was a little bit farther back on that play.
Ross ready from the mid-field line, but here up early to meet it, but Ross...
Clips right by him and Falcon on the first to score in the second.
Surprising transition here from Laos.
You're not sure how this one really gets through to Matier.
He's been so solid.
Must have been thrown off by how Laos approached that ball
in some way, because, I mean, Matier has been locked tight
on just about every challenge this whole tournament.
Laos just made him look silly.
I guess Matier didn't think he had an extra little arrow in it,
but almost yes, he does get it.
Laos with two quick hitter goals.
Falcon's doubling up.
Nice kick off here, Drolley high pop.
That's a good luck buddy.
I mean that's a tough shot to save, especially with that kind of power.
He's actually on it.
It's just a very difficult one to keep out.
Falcons, couldn't ask for a better start.
Falcons, even after TRK left the squad able to score a lot of goals.
Even when they were down three plus against twisted lines
they were still able to put a ton of ballpets out.
They might get a third goal here, but here it is just left on a string.
And Drolley pulls it away.
That's a great play from Trolley as well.
I mean, everybody on KC could see a town pushing forward there.
Expecting his teammate to get a hit.
That's here at the third man.
Expecting his teammate to get a hit.
Nobody from KC hits the ball.
Trolley just lands his eyes.
I just got to make him.
I got to make a move.
Just hit him.
It's free.
KC might be thinking, now this must be how my town is
on game one.
That's exactly how the first two minutes went in game one.
KC are feeling it right now, it's Killers, a 50.
Lost?
They're gonna get a free hit, but he just knocked it
right back into Batira.
KCorp gotta find a way to stabilize,
and it's not so, no, have to wait for the wants.
Oh, Killers is up, up the backboard, into the walls!
Killers is just sitting in the boohawk for free!
Army Corps completely losing track of Killers
up there on the backboard.
UC lets it go, because he knows he can't get there.
And it's here, uh, I mean he might have known he was up there, but it's, it's tough to see he might have just been trying to guess where that pass was going to go, and he could not figure it out, even if he did or didn't see it.
Falcons all over him in game one.
Not how K-Corp wanted to start this.
Excellent job from Falcons, and K-Corp will score.
Now get the first.
There's not enough of a stabilizer there, and one going up to at least stop the bleeding.
Get it back the other way.
Yeah, you got 239, I would say.
It's a good chunk of time.
Doubling up here would certainly make it a game.
Good kickoff helps.
Let's see what they got.
Locked kickoff.
It's away from the low and...
not ideal.
The tier will have to...
rip this ball away from killers.
He does.
Heck, it's a 50.
Atock didn't believe it.
Juicy was the one playing tighter.
Instead, he just tries to play the hole
and the clear goes right back to their half.
I like it a chance to read the material killers
What's that one go trolley ends up taking material out of the way juicy back to material?
Some chances for k-corp to see ampere here looking at the same ball leaving at all by himself
But he's got space the material has boost
Off the ceiling. Oh and a truck in and the demo and a shot and a call
Oh!
Wow, wow, wow!
Two minutes to go and two goals to go.
Talk about Casey taking advantage of space.
They knew they had everything on the right side open, but how about the Tira?
Don't go towards the net, get in front of it, drop it away,
keep it away from the defenders in the box.
Give your guy a chance.
It was a big one, Casey, right back in it.
All way to go, two minutes and two to five.
Falcons win the kickoff this time.
Killers knocked out of the play.
Quick trolley was to that touch from the loss
Atto, that's a beauty back to Juicy. Juicy a little bit of control
Used a lot of boost to get back to the ball though Falcons get to clear this out waste a little bit more time on the clock
Killers hits it right in the atto and now KC with the ball here comes Juicy three seconds away from him
Still good enough for Atto and a good catch from the loss but Tira forced the bendy Juicy coming from the right side
takes the boost away. Killers has been on low for a bit now.
Trolley also with nothing. Ato trying to drill it but Tira's on the right side.
Killers is stuck on the post. This is very awkward for Falcons right now.
They're not getting a corner boost. Killers is still stuck on the wall.
Got in the rebound. It's too awkward! Trolley can't make the save!
What a go for KC!
You know, you can feel Falcons kind of floundering there for a few seconds.
They were driving her out of their own half with zero boost.
Karmigorps continually sweeping through, stealing the corners,
kept making it off-ward, and finally can't get a touch,
and while it's close, it won't stay out.
Karmigorps at a back.
Karmigorps scored their first goal with two minutes and 39 seconds left on the clock.
And now they bought themselves one minute and just have to score one goal to tie it.
That's all.
Forced to 15, no midfield boost for Juicy.
Retire will help cover him.
Juicy with the full tank.
They put a hard hit and the loss will beat up to the punch.
Matira just trying to keep it away.
Droll here, already up the ceiling from the midfield.
Matira's at fun, will take the space, let's have to grab it, and the 50.
Matira with a catch trying to bump the loss out of the way.
Falcons are really struggling.
Even get some consistent boost right now, that corner's available.
Even the killers wins that.
And he gets another clear with what's he, and it slipped through!
Falcons, hopefully!
It's a great bit of pressure upfield here from Falcons on their breakout.
Look at Juicy rotate back, and Verloss immediately trying to track him down
and make it awkward for him to feel like he can pick up that ball cleanly.
It ends up being just enough.
And Falcons were able to find a huge insurance goal.
It just doesn't want to go.
Really excellent try from Carmen Cork.
They've come a deck before nothing.
Literally never happens.
They almost made it happen.
Just goes to Celia.
How difficult it is.
Falcons
High-scoring offense, and maybe K-Quick get one more time left and they won't
Great save from a lost diving in at the last second Falcons will hold game on and pull one more in tomorrow
Yeah, I don't have to go any three thousands if you're gonna keep it up and dish that ball yet
Well, you gotta put out with a big dog
That's the great bit of shooting the tier and new was gonna be a tough stop and well placed from
But, uh, Jiralee to make sure this one ends on an exclamation mark.
Good game one for Falcons. Out the gate quick.
Of course, Casey being able to find an answer slowly, but surely, but to be honest,
I think game one just kind of caught Casey a little off guard.
I mean, it was a hard start to go down three so quickly.
It was a good job coming back, but unfortunately, just doesn't hold too much too early.
I think doubling up off the kickoff here was really what made life difficult.
and Falcon score two more after that.
This is the fourth goal where they completely lost sight of that.
You said earlier, I don't know if it's here or Juicy,
they kind of moved when they didn't know what to do with Killers
on his own or their own back wall.
And then the attempted comeback from KC
thwarted thanks to a nice push from Killers, who,
you know, when they were getting harassed,
how long was Falcon sitting on low
if he had zero moves during KC's comeback?
They were doing a great job trying to get back.
So no doubt the rest of the series is K-Cork
That double-up goal at the start of the game might be close to the rest of the what?
Big game with a wall for the loss, hat-trick, few saves, 75% shooting percentage.
Pretty much all about is actually talking about high efficiency.
And what is that, 8 shots? No, yeah, 8 shots and 6 goals. That's pretty good.
Pretty good. It was a bit of a pain period when Charlie first joined the team.
See when TRK left the offense left with him, but slowly but surely
Falcons have gotten back to that high powered offense that we all know
They are capable of with twins on this roster
KC on Forbidden Temple
They don't start about four feet in the hole
Pretty standard kickoff for both teams to start
Juicy with a 1v1-15 from the box is straight out in the space
Matira avoids killer's pop.
D will be KC's to win.
No play there.
Oh wow.
He's working through two there actually.
Plenty of time for Falcons to get ready defensively.
Easy enough, clear.
But KC the one's the driver seat early
and came to see a little break out
but actually not clean possession.
Drawley's doing a great job battling in the midfield.
He's kind of having to dive back to this ball.
Molly floating for this, but Tira ends up having to hit it to Roloss.
Killers is already in the air! Misses off the crossbar!
Ato will happily clear that one away.
Big uptip of play from Falcons. You'll love to see him present the target.
Trust his guy to put it right where it needs to be. Close call for Carmen for it.
Ato having to avoid a bump, took him off the ball.
Roll-ons.
Next.
Juicy will take the ball. Killers went the whole way back to his corner.
Drolley gives him a nice clean out.
Killers looking for a loss.
Alkins really trying to find ways to get it to each other.
Give clean angles.
He's got the best chance at a 50 as Killers.
Hopes up over one.
It's the bump on another drop.
Oh, he went for the bump on Juicy as well.
Lost.
Coming up, he actually gets the touch.
Little bit of space.
A little bit of space, a little bit of an air dribble, and the 50 right off the post, it bounces away from Jolli,
picks it up, killers immediately deny.
Great composure from Carmichord, that's two fakes in a row right in front of the net from Jolli,
I believe, and they're having to react quick and make sure they don't lose track of anybody,
but Tyr will help out of town who's backwards on the goal line, and wisely take this time as he realizes,
Hawkins gave him a little bit of room.
Jolli and Lawson, tight together, I think that 50 in.
Matira uses the ceiling, uses it again, trying to drop it down, Juicy was coming underneath but Falcons were ready for it.
That kicks out away from the KC rotation. Killers is downfield, Rollos can't chase it.
Drolly would get it back, Falcons are rotating back.
Matira bumping everybody, causing a little bit of havoc on the Falcons rotation, but they were covered.
People ball in the corner, killers do a lot to stuff the rotation.
Trout got in there as well.
Brotts has just been stuck on the back wall, and this one,
they ball back with it.
Falcons are making life difficult right now for KC.
Oh man, it's just trading paint everywhere in that Falcons corner.
It's trying to just create space so you can get the triple started.
Earned possession, ball goes past the town.
Juicy forced to throw to the side.
Troutly not in the mood to let KC keep possession.
People send the house in zero boost and at least push Carmel more back to their half.
What we should fake, the tower should also fake and killers would just poke it out to this corner.
That's what we're trying to shut Drollie out of the way.
KC, slowly building.
Falcons always find a way to put the Sledgehammer down.
Drollie up high.
The tier will take. Falcons have to leave, reset. This is over Ross's head, but
whoever is in that support position for Falcons,
Handled the ball effectively. This one lost still.
Flipped under the ball and his nose is behind it.
There's no angle for Casey to immediately attack.
Still, Metira tried for the ball. Killers avoid hit.
Ato to the far side. Metira needs the midfield boost.
And he actually goes with the ball.
Underneath. Killers is all over the ball right now.
On the front. On defense.
Strolley will take it with a full tech.
Paukins did a great job there.
What a sequence for Carmine Corp to be honest.
and now on the breakout, almost immediately all the way back to the Karmigurh half,
Kuhlers will actually give up the ball and just let Drolley
play that one confidence elect to try and save as much boost as they can.
Make sure they're ready here with Todd taking goals, coming at a premium here in Game 2.
Break away for Killers, open net!
Karmigurh gives up and attacks right back through the middle.
It's just an over-commit.
Juicy goes, Ato also goes, and Ato's the last back there.
Batira is in Falcon's left corner.
When Juicy jumps for that ball, it's
a rare mistake in the rotation and an overcommit
for KC late in game two.
After they've done so much work to try
to build pressure on offense, Falcon's defense really
didn't afford them a lot of real opportunities.
What is scrums were there in Falcon's corner?
Now KC got to work with 40 as Juicy.
Leaves it for Atto.
That bounces straight back out for Tira.
It's a heavy touch.
They'll let the loss play it.
Juicy smacks the ball.
Atto's in the air.
Ends up running into killers.
Tira back over to the side.
Juicy right behind him.
And Falcons with another clear and more time off the clock.
I mean, Tira and Alas having one heck of a battle
on the ball.
I mean, if those two guys are 15,
it's good things happening for their team.
But right now, the big difference
It does feel like Charlie feels just a step faster than the guy trying to follow up for car me core
Can't chase it down. She's got no boost. It actually kept it in the air that falcon's figure a chance to kill it instead
KC get a chance at the end of falcon
Nothing
What a show from falcon that means offensively have to get put through their faces here no doubt
Now, eight shots for Carmencourt, zero in the back of the net, and a convenient eight saves for Falcons.
It's not like they were missing or anything for Carmencourt, they're on target.
Eight saves and eight shots.
Yeah, on Carmencourt.
This is proving difficult.
They were on the orange half, and I'll be honest, I don't remember most of those shots that Casey had.
as they just kept getting stumped in the corner.
Falcons were not getting starved like they were during Casey's comeback in game number one.
And then in overcommit, we would be well into overtime at this point,
and Juicy not overcommit on that play.
Whatever the miscommunication was, whatever thought you had the responsibility there,
either way, just one mistake.
Yeah, exactly. They had one guy go for the challenge in the middle of the box right,
and then the clear went up to the left wall,
or the right wall depending on your perspective.
It doesn't matter. Went to a side wall,
And both Carmencorp players were kind of in the same spot.
Makes you feel like the third man there in that position
feels like you trust that challenge to kind of be weak
and just sort of fall to the ground.
But if you don't even make it to that challenge,
it just gets disked back into the middle.
Bad things are going to happen.
That's exactly what happened.
You're not wrong.
Big over commit from Carmencorp.
Way too much faith in the decent 50.
And it cost them pretty big there.
Carmencorp are trying to defend their EWC title.
Trolley leaves the team after winning EWC, witness team.
Now wants to send them packing here in the semifinals.
Been a great game so far from Falcons.
I really can't, for having lost, touched an excellent game.
Killers on Keymouth, but he was just going in front.
He was cutting in front, giving outlets to his teammates.
I'm like, look, it's wins.
There's support.
The support has been excellent for Falcons on Keymouth.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
They're always not afraid as we know.
They'll just smash the ball and just go down there
and make life difficult for anybody he's up against.
If you were wondering, this is a calming court timeout.
They have elected to sit here and take a few moments
to figure this one out because going two-nil down
versus Falcons, what they feel
they should have a pretty good chance on.
Not the best start at all.
And it doesn't really feel like they add an answer
offensively at all.
So I like the idea to take the timeout now.
You're gonna need it.
because if you went back to back and went down 0-3, that's a real long road.
Also haven't seen much physicality from K-Corp either.
It is a key...
A lot of bumps, not a lot of demos.
Taking a player off the field is so valuable, and bumps can only do so much,
especially if they're so good at recovering quickly off the bumps,
as we've seen from plenty of teams this week.
Let's see what they can do to try to fight back in this series.
Killers, horses material in a stretch, Juicy's ready for it.
Juicy making the touch!
Off the post!
Atto!
Saved by Jolly!
Great recovery from Jolly across the post.
Juicy's not done and he's the step too late.
Atto's gonna need help to get this one in though and almost able to jam it in Killers' face.
There's a little bit of quality in front of the box for KC.
It kicks straight back up, but Tirov avoids the bump,
gets the pump, gets the crossbar.
How in the world is that on it?
And I love that Tirov trying to be precise with it.
He knew he needed the correct touch to beat the defense.
This time the bump comes out of the box.
It's out with a lot to pick from.
No way!
The ball already bounced away.
Falcon survived again.
That's how one more look at it.
Juicy can't jam it through.
Killers finally with a little chance to breathe up
in the side wall.
But Tirov closes the gap, and Carmen goes still circling.
Absolute brick wall.
Force man helping out as well.
Ato fakes the touch, but here is shot tonight!
Trolley and Killers committing for the play.
Trolley getting credit for the same.
Killers gets the boost, now going forward.
And Juicy and Ato, Juicy good recovery,
but he doesn't get the touch forcing Ato
to make this play on low boost, and he does.
S50 here.
Trolley squeezing again, like we said.
He'll just go field, make life hard.
It's a nice clear from Karmin 4,
but it is possession Falcons.
The loss, Ato's ready for that touch.
That's hard, but look how quick Juicy is to this one.
Takes the space off the ball, just can't quite put it on target.
The ceiling, Casey Lurkin, Ato, back across,
and there's just no way in right now for Carmencourt.
Raleigh can kind of feel that shot coming.
He's jumped as soon as he saw it come off the wall.
Juicy looking for a little help, and Carmencourt says
that was a little too far away.
We'll take our chances elsewhere.
Alkins finally a chance to press their own attack in earnest.
They see, still structured up here on defense, Mathira.
Good 50, now Juicy with some boost, also stops up.
That's a good job to trolley.
Atto had to read, Casey slowly moving their way forward.
Mathira, touch up Juicy.
A little hoppy, he gets deleted on the play.
Atto wants to go in, but did not see a real angle
to go. The Wasp was on the wall ready.
Not a bubbles well, Trolley.
She's wide from that, Matira.
We'll take his time.
Get the 50 again, Casey.
Get all his energy.
Lacking the goal.
Matira is smashing into his team.
Maybe that actually was kind of okay, though.
Matira forced into a high clear.
That's a nice ball for Juicy.
What can he do with this one?
He's looking down the barrel of two defenders
and probably snap clear.
Not the move to find out
we're lost to himself
Off the backboard, Metira 3, clear.
Metira, Seagra lost with so many 1v1s that way, that was an excellent save.
Anatole, swings around, got the boost, kill him.
He'll avoid, nobody could go for KC, pass, long south-high wall, in stride, the whole way.
Another demo, Juicy slowing it down, going across, troll, he just won't let him through.
Metira tried to bump, but it looks like he just gets bumped back.
He'll touch for Anatole.
And you can see KC trying to go all different ways at once.
They go with a pass across, Roas goes for it.
And then they go for the stutter step on the line,
trying to squeeze it near post.
And they hang with that such great composure from Falcons.
They find another deep clear.
It's a free ball for the Tyros.
But Garmincourt got to be like, what do we got to do
to vote the ball in between the sticks on these guys?
And they get the ball to the, that's how killers got
ball tears to see again.
And he gets deleted.
And now Roas going down the field.
Drolley's ready.
Drolley up high.
Killers won't go.
He didn't really have a lot of boost. He's side-footed out of the play.
Drolli has the catch and a boost.
Pops it right over.
Juicy will take some time here for Falcons.
Convict here are really one of that corner boosts to spawn.
Can't reach it!
Oh, yes, that's the difference!
It never showed up.
He has to wait for his teammate to rotate out from the midfield.
And look at this one just squeezed by on the near post.
Oh, Juicy almost gets there as well.
Timing is everything.
Falcon's defense, completely unbreakable in game three.
40 seconds for KC.
After having possession for what feels like four out of the four and a half minutes,
here comes Falcon's again, Juicy.
Need a good one here.
It's here up from the corner.
Ato and Juicy go. You can feel the stress.
Ato almost get it himself.
Killers get put right back into his own bruise.
Ato, there's nothing there. Popped across.
Desperation mode right now for Carmine Karp as Ato flings them all back towards the box
That's a hard hit and a nice side wall double to get the clear down the field juicy lose it again
Wings it across with here
Here he goes
Ties a split and it came right back kill it was ready for it case he keep it up
Ato a pie, but here is trying to shovel them out, but it's
Digging Karp's grave one more game to go
Just locked in a bunker all game Falcons would not let anything through the
front door. Oh my goodness gracious me. I have no idea how Karmie Korg didn't score.
Left, right, up, down, in, out, forward, back towards, undisturbed. There's no chance man.
They weren't letting in. Well that's how I remembered a lot of KC shots unlike that last game.
I'm unbelievable in that just like that was like one of the first tries how kids really got a case he's out
And they just delivered a banger
Awesome like you said material sitting on his corner booze. It never comes now nobody can defend the shot
cheese
Is it really that simple in rocketing is it hurt just put one on target doesn't matter
They were puppet killers.
Roloss has a save.
They even get two pups.
The third man gets a save.
They gave it a good go.
You can't say as Kareli would say.
They had their chances.
They had their chances.
The Falcons took away a lot of them.
What a job defensively in that game three.
Goodness gracious.
Heck of a job defensively from Falcons.
I mean, is there anything left in the toolbox
to car me core on the attack?
There's got to be.
If they want to win, and they had good,
They had some good approaches.
Honestly, Juicy's a little nervous.
There's a lot of times he's hopping a little early at balls.
He's having to recover a couple of times on them.
And while in that game he was able to recover,
you think Pat could change to game two.
The only goal that went in for Falcons
was that Juicy overcommit.
Falcons are just a little bit better today.
And sometimes a little goes a long way.
3-0 in the series.
KC got a fight from the whole way down and no timeout for Mandon for the line.
And the tear trying to get creative with all of his solo plays.
It takes as much time as he can with the ball.
Oh, the tear gets in.
Hit of a pump!
It's just not- what does it matter?
Here you get a pump.
Killers is ready on the back wall.
Another clear for Falcons.
Maybe I go ahead and counter.
Probably can't keep the push alive, it'll be for Tira.
Leaving it for Ato, off the ceiling with a reset.
50 right back into space, and it's covered well by Droll.
Great cover by Droll, he can feel that third man coming out from the midfield, there to close the gap immediately.
Now with a nice job on his line, on the equivalent of a couple of clears, and this is looking like a repeat of the previous couple of games.
Might be a 0-0 decided by a Worldie.
KC trying to get out of their own half.
They're trying to bump killers nowhere near him,
and again the demo game just not as effective for KC.
Juicy.
Actually forces the pity against the loss.
No challenges coming easily.
Killers forces that.
Falcon's actually played a little loose on that progression.
Now they smack the ball, Killers is up for it, Juicy.
It's a good stop initially.
Nothing to go right now for Falcons.
Lost, actually shaked that ball out, and it's in the net!
Trolley snipes him! Falcons, one nothing!
Falcons, great pressure here.
So patient in the midfield line, just letting the play develop through the tears,
trying to close space, but when he sees it leak out forward,
he realizes he can't get there, turns back.
The last minute for KC is nowhere near the deck.
And a blast!
Top right corner, KC.
Ironically, losing track of the one guy they played with the most is on the kickoff.
Killers will drop one top right.
Jussi's just watching this.
Atok gets absolutely dusted.
And Roloss lets it go.
Jussi's just looking at Roloss the whole time.
And he got fooled.
Rolled up on the post.
Doesn't matter how many hours he played this game.
Two.
Good luck.
Two minutes, 50 million, the post comes for a solve.
They got a piece of juicy right there,
stopping for him even trying to make a save.
And Falcons, that's a massive two-goal lead.
Casey.
At the pass, and the shot, Atta will score.
And a little bit of breathing for Casey.
Nice job for the material.
Look at three people going by for him.
The killers get stuck on the backboard.
How about that drop down from the juicy.
Up, up.
Talbot is building for Juicy. I think he struggled this series.
He needed a pass like that and needed it to go in.
How many of those did they have that just didn't?
Off all of Garmin Gorge. Just needed that one just one time.
But here that's a good catch.
Trolley was trying to feather.
But here steals the boost. Juicy going for the pump.
Kato actually avoids the pump on the front side.
But here goes to war. Or Juicy goes towards the midfield.
Now back in the corner. No pump for him.
Vatira actually stops the ball. It does help prevent a quick counterattack from killers.
Look how quick Rwass is to this one atto. Makes the stop. Rebound comes out. Nobody was around.
Vatira got there first. Sends it flying to the net, but killers easily stops it.
Great respect from killers. Knows that Army Corps is going to be looking for any opportunity.
Not willing to give up even a shred of a chance. He's ready for anything out of
midfield. Made a great stop on a cheeky shot attempt. Vatira across the box.
Nobody home and Juicy just has to try his best challenge.
Killers.
Not able to get a handle of it. Ato was ready.
Drawly lets it drop down. Juicy will try to bump on the backside.
Matira trying to fish it to him. This one works out for Ato.
Challenging Drawly's authority on the backboard.
Drawly gonna almost get bumped. Ross will clear it down.
Matira up with no way!
Matira pulls back the cheese. He knew it was coming.
And he still couldn't stop it!
And it's here, kind of easing up towards the midfield, trying to, I think, pick up small pads around that center line,
maybe put some semblance of pressure if he went for weak clear, but you lost, you said, hey bro.
Here, a couple steps too far forward, and it's here, paid with a goal there.
Falcons.
All over, Karnin Corp, in this series.
A minute 20, it's their series to lose.
KC, had a good time, comes to the far side, Drolley, a win to touch, what a series he's had.
A series that everyone's had on Falcons, Atto, will try to set something up for Juicy.
But Tira was just sitting in the box trying to keep everybody on the ground.
Killers gets bumped, and Drolley was forced to the ball.
Time running out for KC, Atto off the ceiling.
Will try again, but Tira's just up on the back corner.
But Drolley, hope is in for Juicy!
Casey won't quit!
And you're looking at this double commitment from Carmen
and you're like, how can this be good?
The answer is, but here's never playing the ball.
He's taking away the help.
And Juicy comes through as the last man with zero boost.
They give themselves a chance.
They're not going to go down without a fight.
Everything's stuck against them.
Down 0-3.
Down 2-3 in this game.
Falcons with 43 seconds left.
Will advance to the Grand Final to play space station.
If they can hold the lead, but Ato turns off ball cam.
Immediately has to get out.
That ball straight down.
Juicy catches low.
Heavy touch.
Killers is up to the task.
Crawley kind of has it.
Fighting.
And Ato wins this one.
Gets a 50 as well.
Everyone is on the right side of the field for K-Corn.
It still comes out for Matira.
Holds the ball.
20 seconds left.
Ato up the side while behind Matira.
Juicy will be playing that close third man.
Batira needs to go get boost, time is running out.
Killers, drops it for Trolley.
Back to their own corner, Atom.
Has to go now, but it's a heavy touch.
Roas, running away.
Juicy has to keep it up, barely does,
but nobody can get there, Atom.
Swings it, but Batira's nowhere to be found.
Falcons everywhere, flying the whole way
to the Grand Finals.
With authority, for no, never a doubt if you ask any valedicts fans today.
What a display.
Respect all around from all the KC guys over to Jolly of course.
He played one heck of a series.
He went out there saying what's their biggest weakness?
Me, let me tell you, it did feel like every time there might have been something the twins couldn't handle.
Jolly was on it, baby.
Said nothing from you guys is going to surprise me didn't look
Some initial questions about this falcons roster change from TRK to trolley
They had some initial hiccups, but this team is right back
To form right back to that grand finals form the last killers and trolley
Are gonna be a tough tough match for space station
Falcons 4-0 KC here in Paris
Let's go down onto the stage and hear what Roelofs has to say.
The Falcons are just too good on this Rocket League stage in Paris.
Congratulations!
Goal was Mabrok!
You guys did amazing.
The first question I wanted to ask you is,
you guys obliterated KC in this semi-final.
So how does it feel being back going to the finals
after a difficult start of the year
and after missing Paris Major?
First of all, congratulations to you, you've destroyed the KSC. How do you feel now that you're ready for the semi-final?
You've reached the final after a difficult place in the last year.
We're very thankful that we've reached this far and we just say that the next is going to be better, inshallah.
The next is going to be better, that is for sure. How did you manage to forget and break like that?
I'm so proud that we went so far and I can tell you that the next one will be even better.
And talking about the fans, you know everyone talked about the KC fans,
but your fans were so loud and so incredible.
So I want to know what difference does it make when you're on stage hearing your fans here
and knowing that you have fans all over the world and in Saudi Arabia.
We obviously really appreciate their support, and this is the least we can do for them.
We say, also, Insha'Allah, the next tournament and everything that we do is going to be for them.
Of course, as you say it, my question is about the fans, of course.
We all talk about the fans who love their fans.
We make a lot of noise, what kind of difference does it make for him?
To know that the people he supports, the Saudi Arabia, etc., he says it.
It's the minimum we can do for them.
Thank you to them for their support, which is absolutely incredible.
And Insha'Allah, for the rest of the tournaments that we will play, it will also be for them.
And now I want to speak about what's next.
You know the finals.
Your teammate, Drally, has won it twice already. He's going for the back-to-back-to-back,
but it would be the first time that you lift this trophy for your brother.
So what would it mean to win this with killers?
And what kind of experience does Drally help you and give you in that tournament?
So Drali is obviously special and he's like on a different tier than everyone else so and this year is gonna be special for us as well to be all alongside him and we say that it's gonna be complete with us
Of course, it's going to be amazing.
The last question, Drally has already won this trophy twice.
It would be the first time for you and your brother, Killers.
What does that mean for you?
Is Drally there for you?
Drally is on another planet.
He belongs to another tier compared to the other players.
But it would also mean a lot to me and my brother.
So I'm here once again. Congratulations, my block.
And now, it's time for you, Roas, to be the villain here in Paris.
We're going to go to the key.
We're going to get to crush the KC key in front of the fans.
How does that feel, Ravace? You're ready for it.
Of course I'm happy.
Of course he's happy, of course he's ready.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's tough for the Carmine,
but the Falcons were absolutely above.
In all the games, 4-0,
and for the club, championship, that means a lot
for the Falcons going to the finals.
That was one more question. Do you guys perform amazing? Let's go with your fans. Of course
here the Falcons fans that are so proud of you, that are so happy to see you in the
finals. You faced Europe, you defeated them. Now you're going to be facing North America.
Can you tell me why MENA is the best region at Rocket League according to you?
Or maybe just the Falcons are the best team?
I told you that I was going to go to Arab and I will be with them.
But now you are facing North America.
So what is your feeling?
Do you think that MENA will be the best team?
This is the proof that MENA has not become a minor region.
Praise be to God, it will not be the end.
And how will it be the end?
This obviously proves that MENA is no longer a small region and in the finals we will prove this and then we're going to complete this championship.
You guys are definitely not a minor region.
I'm happy to prove that MENA is not a minor region and we will prove it again in the grand final.
And last but not least, do you have of course a word from your fans, the Albiya of course.
Oh, are you sure?
Yeah, give a message to the fans, you can go again.
Thank you so much and the championship is going to be for them.
Thank you again, congratulations!
Another title right here at the Esports World Cup 2026, this time around, SUG taking the
win in PUBG Mobile, a thousand points in their favor on the club championship board.
However, due to the fact that this is the only title that they are competing in, they do not qualify, so it doesn't impact the standings.
We got people everywhere, we got Mercy!
Here is a Mercy, how are we gonna bring it in?
How are we in Esports World Cup in Paris for the first time you're loving it?
I'm loving it, every time the bakeries?
No, the bullhounds and the rees bro, oh my god.
I need to get involved with those, I swear.
Any other games you've been checking out outside of the Rocket League?
Oh, that's a great question.
I'm loving every time the bakeries. No, the Boulangeries, bro. Oh my god
I need to get involved with those as for any other games you've been checking out outside of the Rocket League
Oh, that's a great question
Dude, the player lounge is packed with so many pro players and celebrities like straight up. There's Magnus Carlson
We have Zybu from CS. We have
Donk, do you know Donk? My god
Everyone in have you have you locked in any games later on with Donk perhaps on CS?
Yeah, we kind of like made an arrangement. I'm going to teach him how to play CS. Kind of teach him basics.
Yeah, he seems like a bit of a rookie in that game for sure. In terms of the Rocket League though,
Space Station through to the final, we got KC and Falcons as well.
Do we have a prediction of who's going to take out the whole event?
Oh, see, my personal prediction was honestly whoever wins the Falcons versus KC matchup
is probably going to end up winning the whole thing.
But this side of the bracket SSG have been looking so good the brand new NA goats in my opinion
I think it could be a little toss up like there could be a little
It could be a little challenging. I like it. I like it
I think that you've convinced me to get into that player area and go check out the action
So do you want to join me shall we go to that? Yeah, let's do it. All right. Let's go
the
the
the
the
and Marlin and today we're gonna figure out
which one of them is the smartest.
Just by looking at you guys, I don't know.
I had a 2.1 GPA, it's not bad.
I had a Socialist degree of Arts.
Four point no.
You graduate up?
Oh my God.
Graduate high school with a dual credit degree.
I didn't even think that was possible.
Either way, this is how it works.
You guys have already figured out the buzzers.
We have a couple trivia questions here for you.
Now for round number one,
Each one of you is going to be able to answer one question
and you can pick your category by ringing your buzzer,
which you can begin now.
Stable, well, no, honey, that was just a skill,
the stable or not, though.
Go ahead and choose your category first.
And I will say food, all right, food.
Name the bitter compound in oversteeped, dargling tea.
What?
What the fuck is he yeast?
Oh, okay.
Maybe the answer was yeasty, but not really.
The answer is polyethanol, revived tannins.
That was my next guess.
That was my next guess.
Minus 30 points for an old brother.
Oh my God.
This is my biggest 30.
And feel free to buzz in to choose your next category.
Guys, I'm going to go with geography.
Geography.
Geography.
All right, we like geography.
What is Glenn Switzerland's official 2025 population
within 100?
I'll give you 100.
Get leaves?
You don't know those?
Population 5.
about the dude yeah I'm gonna go so obviously that's a city obviously that's
well it is a hundred sixty eight thousand oh hundred and sixty eight
thousand close it's cuz that is fairly close but is it within a hundred come
on the correct answer is a thousand maybe in between thirteen thousand seven
hundred right now between Jason and that's all right
Adapt movies. Yeah, there's no more. Oh, there is movies. I can't read for a second here
All right in the movie the lion king what kind of animal was Simba?
Okay, so everybody got like I'm starting
I'm gonna go lion and the answer is actually a lion
That is correct. A point for Adapt on the board to get like the hardest question of mankind
Jason and your final question for history. This gives you the opportunity to tie up with Adapt name Henry V8
cousin executed in May
Darrell walkins
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Now it's time for your woods.
Roddy Nets, was that just like a honorary degree
that they gave you?
Oh, you don't know what Dan Watkins.
You don't know what Dan Watkins.
Clearly you don't know Margaret Pohl,
the Countess of Salisbury.
Oh, David.
I love Pohl.
I love Salisbury.
Disappointing, incredibly disappointing for everyone
besides Adapt.
Now, Adapt as the winner of this round,
you get an incredible opportunity here.
You may eliminate one player from entering round two.
You have five remaining seconds.
Five, four, three, two.
I'm chasing away.
Yeah, I'm chasing away.
Jason, you're gonna have to stand there in sorrow,
sadness, and silence.
No.
For round number two,
you will be answering questions in the same category.
So buzz in whenever you're ready.
Ooh.
And Ronaldo is first.
What is the escape velocity
Earth. Oh my god, that's so easy. 32,000 meters per second. Oh, I'm sorry, but we are actually
looking for 11.2 kilometers per second. I mean, honestly, not bad. Right there. Right there.
You were fairly close. Very close. But that is incorrect, and that's another minus 300
points for you. Oh my god. You got them all. Yeah. Are you like the later son? Like, we're
going there. You got it. Okay. Your question. What is the third closest galaxy to the Milky
So easy.
Third, circles the galaxy.
You got the Milky Way.
You didn't got the Segway.
I'm going to go that way.
That way?
I'm going that way, yeah.
And while you were close, the answer we were looking for was Tucana 3.
Oh my God.
Tucana 3.
We're lucky.
We also would have accepted Safeway.
All right.
And adapt your question.
What is the bright yellow object at the center of our solar system?
Some may perceive it as orange. I feel like it's the sun and the answer is the sun
Adapt that's another 300 points
For you
Outerspecting me. Yeah, you two are uh
Kind of struggling for the third and final round adapt you get to select who your final opponent will be
We'll give more than a break. Yeah. Give me stable
You were wrong.
Alright, even though he's at, like, negative 300 points...
No, no, no.
He plays the next round, me and him, 101.
Marlon, I'm so sorry, but we're going to have to take your buzzer and you must stand there in sorrow, silence, shame, suffering.
And for our third and final round of EWC Hardcore Trivia, we have two potential categories for you to choose your question from.
Oh, he gets the pick first.
Adapt does because he is currently in the lead.
And now I'm going to challenge myself to a good game.
Gaming? All right, we're going to go to you first, Ronaldo.
What landmark particle was discovered by the LHC in 2012,
proving the existence of an invisible energy field?
I mean, bro, come on.
We had a conversation about that on the bus.
I'm going like, I think it was like a trick rush.
I'm going to go dark matter.
Dark matter?
And the answer is the Higgs bosom.
Okay, I mean, not too far, not too far.
Minus 47,000 points for Ronaldo.
I don't know if that matters.
And the final question for you, for the win,
what color is Mario's hat?
This is a f***ing...
Let me go red.
And the answer for the win, red,
And ADAPT has won EWC Hardcore Trivia.
A round of applause from all of these competitors.
Nothing but salt from Ronaldo, unfortunately.
Tell us how you really feel.
This is a b***h, can I, okay, give me a game in question.
All right, your game in question is,
what was the release date
of the first video game console ever commercially released?
Yeah, go f*** yourself.
Unfortunately, this seems like a skill diff for poor students.
That doesn't know this. What is it?
I already won. I've got nothing to prove.
Would you like your question? If you get this answer correctly, not only will you have bragging rights over these three for all of perpetuity,
Go ahead and ask it, bro.
They will have to sit in economy on their flights home.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
Would you like to take the risk?
I mean, take the risk, bro. What is the...
Yeah, what do I got for you?
I'm serious.
All right, partially built right here in France, the LHC has led to breakthroughs in particle physics,
though not intuitive, the first letter of both particle and physics are the same. What is that
letter? P, P. And the answer is P. Gentlemen, I hope you brought your um, comfy neck pillows,
sweats, you're sitting in economy, or rather maybe in the cargo hold. Adapt anything that
that you'd like to say to your, uh, losing, uh,
and I knew I was going to end up on top of August.
Cora, thank you all so much for joining me and adapt.
When can I be expecting my check in the phone?
Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.
I'm going to connect you with Griff and we'll sort it out after.
Fantastic. All right.
Make sure those two extra zeros that we discussed.
Thank you all so much for watching the EWC Hardcore Trivia.
Appreciate it, y'all.
Hey, what are you doing here?
You seem cool
Welcome everybody to the Rocket League game show. I'm your host Johnny Boy and I'm joined

That's I think one of you said that you didn't go for it. Number four is pinched and
Number five is speed foot. It was the goats of rocket League
Beast mode
So
You guys get to steal this one.
Okay, I think Turbo Pulsar is the fifth top answer.
What's that?
That is the top answer.
This is number one.
Alright, K-Dub.
No, it's all five answers.
There are still points available for you guys.
Squishy?

Alright guys, I can't reveal
but the winner of the Rocket League Game Show,
Space Station Gaming with 49 points.
Thank you.
To NRG's 30 points, congratulations guys.
You are the winners.
How does it feel to be the inaugural champions
of the Rocket League Game Show?
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
This is good.
How does it feel to be the losers?
Absolutely terrible.
Terrible.
Terrible, bro.
Terrible.
Terrible.
You don't want to lose, but you'll feel terrible.
And if you guys Space Station, you'll feel amazing.
Have you ever played a single best of five for $40,000?
Well, that's what you're about to witness here from EWC.
It's Rocket League.
We have our third place battle, the Bronze Mask.
In store for you before we get to that grand final
featuring the Falcons that just pulled off an insane dominant victory over KC.
We got Jorbey, we've got Cole here in the booth.
And gentlemen, we got to talk a little bit about what we just witnessed
and what we have in store for the fans, starting with some of the big accolades.
What did you notice here from our boys on KC?
What happened and what went down from the boys from Falcons?
Because the Falcons seem to be high scoring in that matchup.
I think to me it was Falcons defending Maylion
and they scored so many goals, but it's the fact that every time KC came forward,
Falcons would always have a player there, which is absolutely ridiculous.
They're moving their way up in that Saviour tally, I'm sure, Joby, but I mean, they're attacking
wasn't bad. Yeah, I think we can put to rest all of these like Falcons are washed like,
oh yeah, that's what we're going around like, that is long, long gone.
Drolley belongs on this team. There's a second in that Playmaker race,
Monkeyman somehow at the top of that course. On the right side, we got Reveal and Zach
from Space Station locking out the number one and number two spot for Saviours.
They have been keeping the net clear
Unfortunately ninjas and pajamas and CRR fell down to the bottom spot on that list and that may be why NIP is about to play for third
So let's talk a little bit about what's up for grabs. Of course first place
You're taking the lion's share of the million dollar prize for what's going on for second third and fourth though is substantial
60 grand going to the loser of this battle if for third
Hundred grand and six figures to third place and if you get on that podium for second
You're finishing with 180.
That's a lot of moolah for a best of five.
I'd be putting my whole back into it.
Well, don't put your back into it.
You're Bums, you know what I mean?
Bums back?
Throw up, that's enough to do that.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Off the muscles we still got working.
Let's take a look, though, at our players
and, of course, some of the numbers.
NIP taking on KC.
Who's got the better acronym
and who's got the better stars on the squad, Cole?
I think KC and both, really.
I think that's a good bring to it.
KC, a sound school.
And I'm sure...
NIP definitely have the better acronym.
Oh, that's the next battle that we're going on.
Well, the other battle is the head-to-head themselves.
It's going to be best of five.
I think that favors Ninja than pajamas,
but Kasey will have the crowd press.
Take a look at some of the numbers.
Jorby, what's impressive on this screen?
What's impressive on this screen is that
seven-doubles a game is just insane.
They didn't really get any against Falcons,
but I don't think Ninjas and Pajamas
are going to have as much success
avoiding those as Falcons do.
If you're looking at the shooting accuracy,
it's about 21-16 to 23-86 percent in favor of NIP.
It's been a lot of great goalies across the board here at EWC.
We've also seen some blowout matches.
So now that you're playing for third,
can we pull the goalie a little bit more?
Are we going for high scoring games,
or are we taking this a 0-1 happy win?
I mean, if there's anything like the sixth ball for England,
whoo, against France in the World Cup,
then it will be okay, so just attack as much as we can.
I think a lot of this comes down to how much to Casey want this,
how much do they still care after dropping out of the semi-finals?
Will they get up and fight and really put everything on the line
this 40,000 dollars because the net this will be in everything. Well, I mean you got Camero still here
They're playing for their order to play for the club championship as well
So like getting third does matter for that obviously you want 40,000 extra dollars
Okay, so you're absolutely gonna show up here
Let's take a look at their opponent NIP aka the ninjas and pajamas e-stars is their official name coming to this tournament
Where the shock through group stages they handed out some early beat downs in the best of fives and then when it came to
bracket play they were able to power through an NA opponent in the quarter
finals the semis were even spicier but NIP unfortunately falling there and are
now playing for third CRR was leading the MVP race for the squad but Oli also
seems to be a starter look out for call what do you see when you look at this
roster only in particular he's such a good 50-50 it's such an important thing
to do in Rocket League to be able to manipulate where the pool goes when
you charge into it yourselves what I see in this roster at the moment is
Jorrius is sort of waiting to strike. He's not being at his loudest event so fast.
CRR has been their star player, but if Jorrius comes forward, they can definitely take down KC.
Jorvi, we got to talk about that KC squad because they had this place full of fans.
It's going to feed out a little bit. Some of them are still here to see how it plays out.
What were the expectations for this squad? Because I know that man had everybody
behind him last night when they played against Pent out.
Yeah, I mean, their expectations coming into the event was that they were going to win
the event. Obviously, that didn't happen. And look, Falcons might have foreoved them.
But KC had a lot of good pressure on offense.
They still looked good.
Valkyries were just that much better.
So I don't think this is a case of,
oh, KC have fallen off now,
and I'm here gonna beat them.
I still think KC are gonna be a favorite here.
And as good as Batira is,
it was Ato who was in our MVP conversation.
Let's take a look at some of the numbers
between two of the big stars.
Is Ato gonna be your player to watch once again?
Colin, how does he match up against CRR here at EWC in particular?
Yeah, certainly, statistically, these are the two heavyweights.
So far for these two teams demos a game. It's always such a key one that you look at
We saw that Casey had so many about seven
That's always about half of those as well and 64% goal participation as well
So he is everywhere for Casey. I want to know from you two with 50 seconds to the match
Who is going to win this? How many games does he go and who has the highest goal participation in the lobby?
Jorbey you're going first. Oh, I like that
I wanted to feel saucy on this, but I think I've got KC highest goal participation. I got at toe for that
You're bouncing back from a loss that quick. Oh, yeah, absolutely case you're good for Cole
I think the net just wanted that little bit more. I think in a game five
I can see KC still being frustrated if look at on top of them this until facts that will come into it
I think NIP has a chance of three owing case
Three sweeps in this tournament don't want to say it's going to happen
But if possibly good to the EWC fans agree well, it's like 82% of them say pocket you do not know ball
KC is walking away on the podium. Can they get the broads?
It's time to find out as we send it to your third place match in in chambers
Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to lie, the third place is never going to be the one we've been looking for in a tournament like this.
it's going to be a somber mood but that third place position is of course still
worth fighting for. There's money on the line and everybody wants to leave a
tournament on a win. Leaving on a win would be very important, mesdames
et messieurs tout de même. Partir sur une victoire à Paris en podium.
Ça pourrait être magnifique donc on va compter sur vous Ian. Shall we get it?
Absolutely. These two teams fought so hard throughout this entire tournament so let's give them the warm welcome they deserve here in Paris.
We begin by the big one, Karmine Kooolllllllllllllllllllll!
We know! They just defended their trophy.
But for this bronze medal, I assure you,
they will give the French and Belgium trodiges
A back-up stage, maybe not for the trophy, but for the honour and for the passion in front of the fans to get one last win in Paris.
And their opponents, Ninjas in pajamas!
They spent this week tearing through expectations, and they came within one series of the biggest
stage of all.
Their fairytale might have lost its ending, but there is still one chapter left to right.
You!
It's a third place match that has all the makings of a banger.
Oh, yes, it is for the glory to show that you're the best team remaining from the Europe region.
Our third place match starts now.
It's the third place match between two EU teams.
Now, sometimes James, best in EU has met best in the world through our belt league history,
but today it just means best in EU.
We've got NA and Rina in the final.
So EU is going to need to play out for third.
Yeah, that's any you equates to third today, which is not something I
Expected what so ever a court versus an IP and also Johnny you can't forget the apart to the club championship points
Yes, this is 200 points for Casey here, which is essentially what they're playing for can move that from 17 to tie for 12
That's about $225,000 for their club. So lots on the line for a third-place match
We split between a special request to production. This is for straight from James and myself
We said third place match needs a third caster and they asked us well
Who do you want? We said we gave them our top five and unfortunately none of them are available
I mean I don't know who's idea this was because this is crazy from you guys putting me unleashing me on the mic
I haven't commentating on rocket League for a good few years, but it is good to be back
I'll tell you now
I have been watching all of the games that have been played out here in the e-sports world cup across all seven weeks
Rocket League though. There's nothing quite like it. So thank you so much for having me as part of the broadcast team
Oh, it's our pleasure. I'm really looking forward to it. I know Shogun is at home wishing he was V-Ray
Yeah, that's my boy. We used to work together back in the day, and I hope he is watching
I'm gonna put on a performance just for you Shoei. Yeah, that's it. It's a funny thing. It ties us together actually Shogun
Usually, my main duo, also your main duo, if any of you are watching your old fans of the RLCSX grid, then you've won their party in Chambers with Shogun.
Guys, can I just say, this is the third place matchup because we've laid out the stakes here in what's on the line.
But it kind of feels like a grand final, obviously both of them wanted to be there,
but the caliber of talent that's stepping up here, it could be a grand final.
You've got a crowd packed with fans who wanted to see their team make it to the Grand Final.
You know that K-Corp at least wants to get this one last win in front of their fans for
Ninjas in Pyjamas.
I think for them, this is just about proving to people that their run wasn't a mistake,
that they are still an incredible team and a win against Casey here.
I think even if it is just four-third place for Ninjas in Pyjamas, that is going to
be huge for them looking forward to the rest of the year and honestly to the
next chapter of their careers being able to get to this point has been great
and you know for all three players on NIP only glorious and CRR I think this has
been a great tournament where we really have seen the best from them. I agree yeah
and it's been a lot of fun to witness. I very much agree I think NIP have been
really disappointing playoffs all season so nice to see them making a run in
the playoffs after being perfect in the tournament against teams that they've
struggled against earlier in the year in Shelf by Antwisted Minds. They've
a really tough run and it doesn't get any easier in the third place match where they look happy to
be here because they were only one game away from the finals so maybe they're feeling a little bit
better about their exit from the well what was the main bracket but for Casey and the other end
it's only quite as happy um at least in my opinion I mean CRR has really stood out to me
it's like a big personality that's really stepped up on the on the microphone side of things
But then early what what's gold story? Yeah, look what's in baggy goals are we? Oh, we are has been fantastic
I don't know if you know Reddles. I'm sure you you might
Actually put on a tweet just a little bit ago saying that there is quote no reason
CRR shouldn't be on a major contending team next year very few flaws in his game
So that's some high praise especially his haircut
That was one of the first things that Puckett said, when NIP's walking out they're like,
well you have to tell me who this gentleman is, it looks like, yeah, they're all out.
But yeah, when NIP does something, it's still unclear, because these guys are the tallest
team since that big, Ashie Deagle and Violet Panda back in the day, absolute giants off
the pitch.
Will they be able to stand tall in the third place match against their regional
rivals KC?
Right back at the start of the season, in December, these guys went to game 7 with KC
in a LAN final, and that was a regional LAN for RLCS.
This is a different beast. This is a bit more prize money in the line,
love championship, points still to play for.
This is, I think, like James mentioned earlier, on the chance for NIP to continue that late-season
upper trajectory with Worlds just around the corner for RLCS, and as for KC,
I think they're just trying to stop the downwards spiral. They've been swept by SSG, swept by Vulcans.
They're surely not another sweep.
I mean, if they do get swept, then that's about the worst case scenario you can have going into the World Championship for the RLCS regular season.
So this is a really important match. I think even just for the stakes, I'll reiterate that here as we have a short technical pause.
We're getting some easy communication issues sorted out. So we thank you.
I love it! It means we can catch up, you know?
Well, I mean just think about how going from 17 to 12 is a $225,000 difference for your
club.
And I mean that is awesome.
So you combine that with that fact that they're playing for pride, it's amazing.
Alright, well my good friend Lou is standing by in the crowd right now.
Lou, where you at?
Ladies and gentlemen, it's never easy to be fighting for the third place, but we
We have some NIP and some KC fans standing by here with me.
Boys, I wanted to ask you that the NIP boys have already made such an incredible run.
What would you like to say to the boys and to the NIP fans watching?
Trust in Lachlan Parker and if you're not here, you're not leaving.
Yeah NIP! Yeah the boys! Let's go!
Wow, we're still getting hyped on that third place.
So continue.
Don't quash NIP.
Who's gonna go crazy on this one?
Which player are you supporting the most?
Who are you fanboying for?
I say CRR, the most handsome man in RLE Sports. It's going to absolutely aura for him.
Looking good, looking, wow, we support CRR, he's too good. And I support him obviously, and I'm turning.
On the side of the fans of Kasson, you know, it's painful, of course, to see this fight for the third place.
But they are still very, very well fought. What do you want to say to them?
I want to support them, the best I can, because obviously it's never easy.
Never, never make the third place.
And...
Are you happy that you're here?
Yeah, we...
Keep supporting each other.
We keep supporting each other despite the defeats.
But I'm just kidding.
And the third place...
Is it for you?
It's for us.
It's for you, yeah.
Of course it's never easy that third place.
But they've fought amazing.
This third place is for us.
And speaking of the third place,
I would say, what's the plan?
We're going to be NIP on this third game, on this third place, if there's someone who's not going to win, it's Kittouan Bibi.
Kittouan Bibi?
Atou, really, Atou. She put the light on Atou, the guy. Atou, he's too strong. Even if we didn't take it, we're not in the final.
She has the third place, it's for us, we're at home, the guy.
At home, we're at home, we're at home, we're at home.
They're home! Obviously they're singing that they're home!
That Atoy is amazing, he's an insane player!
Putting the light on him of course, and let's see if the third place is theirs or not.
Trey good mod there, a handshake guys before we get back to the game of course!
Small slingship and let's see who gets that third place here at the EWC.
It's absolute chaos out here, Shai. She's keeping the energy up all weekend.
Vatira might need some. Lou, we need the other saves. You wake up Vatira, maybe a shot for Vati.
Well, you know, when it comes to Vatira, he only wants the win.
Like, that's all he cares about. I'm sure you can relate.
I know for me, I want to win every ranked game. I can't imagine what it would be like to, you know.
What about a third place match?
I would still bring it, but definitely which I'd be playing for the next time.
I mean, do you think that this technical pause could be somewhat of a benefit
in the sense that you just put in more minutes between that heartbreaking loss that you just
suffered. It gives you a little bit more time to shake it off, dust yourself off.
I think this definitely helps KC a little bit more, like I said, get that mental reset. But
that being said, you know, they don't look as happy to be on the stage right now for the
third place match as NIP, dude. But they are starting to lighten up a little bit.
That's, you just set up power nap. And I also did, I did spot, like I can see
NIP screens from where I'm sitting. They're all in the lobby ready to join.
whereas Ato, I did not see Rocket League up on his computer so I think we found the hang of it.
You've got to show some love to these French fans. I know you've been saying it all week but they show up every single time and talk about dusting up that loss.
These guys are out here like they're in the Grand Final and they're celebrating, jumping up and down, doing what the French fans do better than everybody else.
It's just amazing. The culture out here is truly fantastic.
If it was wonderful to see the Falcons contingent trying to go head-to-head with them, they were definitely outnumbered, but not out-voiced.
And the latter part of the semi-final especially where they started to completely take over the match.
KC still rallying behind their team. They want that top three.
In certain settings, it's top three. It would be a podium.
So maybe a positive way to spin it for KC.
The bronze medal definitely beats out the fourth place.
I guess another thing that we could mention as well for the players you finish your fourth year team makes $60,000
Oh yeah, third 100 thousand dollars. You're going from 20k each to 33. So it's not a little bit
They have played for a nice extra chunk there. So there's more than just one
There's the club championship points but also the pride here and I think for both of these teams this one
Maybe the pride, they're kind of breaking more than anything else.
Yeah, they've got to really look it for this.
It's really well, I mean, these guys, they love to play against each other.
They're gonna play the action here for you guys at the Esports World Cup.
We're actually coming soon.
Yeah, we're taking our time here in Paris, but it gives me the opportunity to speak also to our beautiful co-streamers.
We have Fury on the side of Vitality and Lutty who has been doing an amazing job also with Rocket League Lease Force
hyping the crowd, etc. Monsieur, you're happy to find the Vitality defect there, but there is a very good match.
We will find the Vitality boys in the next tournament. What do you want to say?
What do we want to say in the next tournament?
Exactly, the thing is that it's frustrating because it's the same scenario that Major de Paris has for us.
It doesn't really matter, we're in Game 7, but I trust the team, I know the guys are working hard, they're getting back into the question, and the World Encore is still a very big challenge, so that's it.
And finally, the most important thing, but if I don't translate it, yeah of course, the Vitality Boys, it's been a bit frustrating against KC, it's always the same scenario, Game 7, this kind of stuff, but of course, we're still proud of the boys,
And we still have the words at the end of the year, and I'm sure that they're gonna be back.
For its my duty, I want to ask you a question about the French fans.
Do you have the opportunity to be very proud of them?
Do you also have the pride of Paris?
Are you proud of all these fans who keep making noise?
Even when the French teams are eliminated?
That's it!
It's still a very nice pride, isn't it?
Yeah, it's amazing to be able to share that.
It's true that the baguette rocket and the whole rocket scene that it created
makes for me one of the best audience in the world.
I've tried all the spams on this one, and it's true that the most micro-catholic is particularly receptive.
It's not that it's a public who likes his game, but it's always a pleasure, and in addition to our three French structures, they're big three.
They're extremely strong on the game, so it's a pleasure to go crazy.
After that, we have to stop the curses and stop losing when we're in France, because that's a shame.
Yes, it wouldn't be a luxury, because I would say that when we win the Major of Paris,
But yeah, translating this, of course, it's a big pride to have these many French fans here in big arenas.
Rocket Bag and the French broadcast have built something amazing.
And I think that's also why we have so many fans, an insane crowd.
Fans that are passionate about their game and we can feel it at any point,
but we should stop that curse and start seeing French teams winning, of course.
I'd like to ask you who is the best player who will win the third place?
Who is the best player in the world? Ormisen, ormile and Kassé?
For the student, Kassé is a favorite because they played against Falcons,
but Falcons is very, very strong today.
For me, it's a question of the best player.
Dralil, what he's saying, it's phenomenal.
Especially because he's in the season, we didn't see him.
There was a little miss, and now he's back, it's a good game.
It's hard to know which is the best between the three days of Falcons. The two Jumos are terrifying,
rallying terrifying, but just the story. Back to back to back, the WC on the first three
to give him existence with three different teams if he does it, no one is capable of doing it.
It's just built different, exactly.
Same answer on the side of Lutie.
Of course, the twins are absolutely insane in Falcons,
Killers and Roas.
But when we speak about Dralit, back to back to back.
Three years in a row, since EWC rocketed existed.
So, you know, nobody else after him is going to be able to do this.
If he gets it today.
Ladies and gentlemen, our last word for the French fans.
Lutie, a little applauded just now.
The French fans, you are not among the best.
You are the best public in the world and thank you for the noise of having proven it today.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like for the police to be very, very strong.
All the people who have worked, that we call the police, that we call the police, that we call the police.
Ladies and gentlemen, my trainer, that you are the best public in the world.
some specific Rocket League terminologies.
I want you to teach me some of your favorite terms
that I should be using.
Same goes to you, Chad.
If there's anything I need to know about,
but hit me up.
So my favorite goal of the day so far came from CRR.
First goal of the semi-final, sidewall skin.
Pits the ball to the sidewall, follows up,
gets the skin touch as it comes back to him.
That's for me, but hope on the second year.
Are we in?
We've got a game.
Let's have it.
Enough of us podcasting.
And let's get to the third place match.
You know what? I can't believe it's actually here. I was that excited to get into the game.
I didn't realise it was about to start.
Look at Wormup Lobby, but here we are.
This is huge now for NIP to prove that they're one of the big dogs. You've had the big
three in Europe all season by talented gentle mates KC. NIP tried to prove that they're
part of the bunch.
Now this is of course the best of five, so this could be a much shorter series
than the ones we've witnessed here so far.
All I'm hoping for, lads, is I just want to see plenty of goals here.
Might have come to the right place for that, with the third place match last year.
It was one of the most explosive series of the entire calendar year for Rocket League.
I think Team Sky need to get loose a little bit for the third place match.
KC especially for me that got to walk in defence twice already in the competition.
Don't want to be like that.
Oh my God, that's it!
No, it's in the back of the KC now already.
And that's what you call a dunk, Ian.
That one hurts a lot to get that done right on you,
but, uh, Juicy, gonna want that opportunity back.
That is a buffer of a start for Gatecourt, but NIP all smiles.
I mean, we wanted to see a big reaction from KC.
We didn't get it yet.
NIP kicking off strong here as we continue on with the game.
That's how pushing the ball forward here.
You particularly like the CRR reactions.
I'm hoping to see Flamie play that again.
No, baby! Juicy! Let's get it!
Let's get it!
He fires right back.
He got dunked on the one end, but now he used the one.
Put in the goal in the opponent's hand,
but Tira forced it all the way into the net there.
Just bought you enough time to get the shots off.
Run the replay again.
That's too good, baby.
And that was on the back of a demo as well.
So not only did he get that first demo,
but like you spotted, Johnny, forcing that defender back.
And a bit of redemption there for Juicy.
I'm sure wanted to get it after getting
dunked on for that first goal of the game.
So we are back to even footing.
Talk about storylines, individual player storylines.
Juicy right now, thanks to Jiralli's brilliance
has really been put under the spotlight.
Juicy was the replacement for Jiralli this season
for Karmie Karpnick.
One of our LCS majors, all good there,
but now it's a lose to Vulcans with Jiralli.
They're a placement, that's tough.
And I will also say, Juicy was the difference
to help Team France get a victory
at the FIFA World Cup as well.
So Juicy has also been a great player to round out the kickoff roster that has worked out well
A little bit of extra pressure on him
I guess here to make sure he puts in a good performance to close out their tournament on a win
Drowley right now is going to be so excited to potentially lead a different roster different Jersey to this year's trumping
Yeah, that would be crazy
three
EWC's in a row with three different teams
Don't know if that's ever going to be possible again
because usually when the team wins one of those they're likely to run it back with that same player
trying to take it away by Malkin's KC but Juicy in his place
pretty good for it but they've not had their best performance this tournament
Chance! Oh! Oh there he is again! Juicy!
Drenner in his brace
This is what we wanted to see from the Juicy man
I really like his name Juicy
It's so nice to say isn't it?
And then you compare it with some some goal explosions got the Adidas goal explosion in there, but
Juicy, I think maybe Splash would have been that would be more sense. Yeah a little more sense
NIP having that too much to cheer about I just want to see a big CRR cheer while Jory is just decided to absolutely nothing
Explosion goal what we just witnessed
CRR has been scoring, getting the job done, being a thorn in the side of everyone.
He gets out to the middle, jumps off the backboard to put it in himself.
The amount of work that he is doing, I mean this guy is a workhorse.
2-2, this is how we wanted to start this.
Look, you had to wait a little bit to get into the game, but it was worth the wait.
We're seeing demos, we're seeing goals, we're seeing it all.
Yeah, you wanted goals, you've got plenty early on here.
I don't know if we're going to get up to the tally, the tally's we saw against the Falcons
played against Twisted Mines.
Twisted Mines, maybe the best offense to the tournament but also in the running for the
worst defense.
In the case of the NIP, the overall better performances in the defensive end, even them
though, still see the girls come through.
We see so many games, sevens, game fives, well, whoo, off the bat!
And I was wondering if you guys can tell me if that's, is that a normality thing,
You know, we expect in such tight series coming into these sports well, but for us it's been
a little bit different.
It's been a bit of a surprise.
I think SSG making the run that they did, NIP making the run that they did.
That was the biggest surprise of the event for me.
And the fact that we see in Paris, one of the French teams not even in the grand final,
you pretty much always see a European team in the grand final at least once.
So to see no teams and have an NA final, that is something to behold.
Yeah.
It really is, and now with the whole EU third place match,
heating up, NIP starting to play the pressure,
only almost forcing Atto to put the ball in his own net there.
Now here comes that same player the other way.
He's going like double tap, and Atto makes the three.
This is stunning stuff, just puts the ball
into a very dangerous area.
Forces his opposition to panic,
and Atto puts his team in the lead, three, two.
a goal by Atto. You know, we can get these header peek in plays.
Even the third place match is AWC.
And it's necessary because K-Corp, after coming off that sweep,
you know they're hoping for that single game win.
But Jory, it's an NIP, making it hard for a right off kickoff.
Holy up and over the first defender, trying to zone out.
Vittira opens up a lane for the shot,
and you can see the disappointment on Vittira's face.
You did so nice material, but zero very low in that air dribble those defense in place
I think he was trying to dodge the bump still make the save himself
He was alone in defense as tricky position for him. It's supposed to the other end now as NIP
Looked to stabilize I can't test the street
NIP did have a lot of games where they would concede one of them to see the whole pile more goals
But that doesn't seem to be happening here. They're staying with Karmicorp
just a back-and-forth banging little witnessing here to start this off
He feels like both teams are working up truly.
Maybe Vitero natched a little bit, but now he's working up once again.
He thought, you know what, I might have made a slight error earlier,
but I want to make up for it quick.
Oh, great 50.
Juicy there.
Just letting C-Rack win the 50 into the sidewalk.
It comes back quickly to the middle for Vitero to finish the 16 seconds out.
For NIP, Mike tries some sneaky kickoff strategy.
Just gonna go for standard, somewhat works out, but they've got to get this into the middle.
Juicy.
Trying to get the ball out of the danger area.
Looks like he does. Couldn't be going all over time here in game one.
Oh! Now we're low!
And I'm looking at Juggist as he scores it and he stays ice cold. Doesn't move a muscle.
I didn't get a CRR, that man with no boost.
I swear CRR with no boost has got to be top five fresh players in the world.
He's probably better than CRR with boost.
A lot of time.
That is shocking to be able to pull that off.
But that was, like you mentioned, Johnny,
not the first unreal zero-boost play we've seen out of him.
And now overtime, and that would be heartbreaking for K-Corp,
who haven't yet to win a game today.
What?
They've got a lot to prove to themselves here, K-Corp.
We didn't think this would be a sorry like coming at MEWC.
We thought the one team we could be confident about would be these guys.
They've really struggled.
It's not been their tournament.
They might be giving them even more to worry about.
How do you guys handle this overtime anxiety?
Because I've been watching so much of it and it's just...
Oh my word!
That's how you handle the overtime.
Holy, holy.
Yeah, we're getting CRR here. Just chasing the tier right again.
Just trips him up out of the play. CRR has been a menace as he waves across the stage.
And I think CRR is such a great example of the impact that you can have off the ball.
That's what Rattles is so good about with the tweet you mentioned earlier.
He doesn't have a lot of flaws in painting in this game.
He's able to do the front, the first man plays off the ball.
Then he's able to come back into the plate, facilitate the low boost.
I mean, everybody can play rock-a-league with a hundred boosts at this level.
All the players can make mechanical plays.
He's got that as well.
And I just want to remind you guys that
A Corp scored the go ahead goal with 60 seconds left in this game and they still could not finish this one.
This is... I think you double crashed me, he said.
I did. Are we going to get a win in regulation? No.
How do you deal with the overtime goal?
Yeah, yeah.
They make it look easy at the minute.
Did he wave across at KC after the final goal?
I thought I saw him doing that but I'm not sure.
If not, please do it. I want more of that in Rocket League.
You are seeing how cordial the players are.
That's so friendly.
He was either waving at KC, or he was just waving at the NIP Superfan to bring the energy.
And now that I've looked at the angle, I think it might be the latter,
but we'll have to take a look later on and see.
He's definitely not been top six, Sierra. Has he?
No, he hasn't. He's been dominant. And NIP has been dominant.
They had 60% possession last game.
They continue their trend.
It seems like this NIP is the real deal. Even though they fell short against SSG, it was a thriller of a series and you know, they're bringing more of it now.
Ian, what's been the vibe? You've got to see these guys backstage. You see all the teams backstage. What have you seen from NIP behind the scenes? Have they been this calm and composed as they have been on stage?
every time I see CRR like you see right in front of the cameras he's always got a
smile on his face I think what I've noticed about all the teams is there's a
real camaraderie and it is a really unique position to be in to witness it
behind the scenes because there's a lot of last-minute discussions with
coaches right you know tactical decisions that are all made before they
go out there but ultimately I've seen friends behind the scenes and always
Scoring on the pitch
It's all going right for them here and as for KC on the other hand
You know you're gonna try to see these guys
They're usually one of the teams that are pulling up the most serious vibes with the whole staff
Alongside them. Yeah, and what usually happens is business behind the scenes and then just places on the pitch as they take
Dubs, but it's not been the case on the pitch this time around. Have you seen any?
uh any tension sitting here oh no don't wait but oh my god it's over go over the
bit there has to be something going on right this Easter explain this what's
going on because finally he plays the ball up there why is no one stopping
him jason's miss read the backboard in my opinion but yeah they don't look
happy that's okay see they like I said it's a best if I did god figure this
one out quite the tear scratching his head on that you can see the
disappointment on his face as well tough to hide it cake court not playing
They're the standard that so many people have for them.
But you have to also just commend the NIP,
how well they've been playing even on low boost.
Last game, all three players spent a minute with no boost.
Oh, wow.
Nice.
That's a lot.
So these guys are sticking in the offense, reset,
by Oli again.
First not needed there.
Ciaran gets another 50 mid.
That said, they scored the winning.
Oh, here he goes again.
And good play on the back court.
I do see this guy not letting it go over like he did earlier.
We need KC to step up, not just for themselves,
but the fans that are just cheering them on here
in the audience.
They need something to cheer for.
They keep going as well, the fans,
even when they were getting completely
smacked by Vulcans earlier.
The fans are still trying to lift them out of the hole.
Just keeps on getting deeper, but can you see?
Pacing down, yet another sweep at the moment.
Something we never thought we'd see.
I mean, I just want to shove juice his name again.
That's all I want to happen.
I just want to see him put it into a dangerous spot
and finish it.
But we're seeing some back and forth action here.
No real chances.
Usually, they get the ball into these positions,
and then they convert after breaking down their opposition.
See, can KC work from their favorable spot in offense?
I think that when it's back in these tight quarters,
they play so quickly off each other's touches.
but it doesn't seem to have bothered NIP there.
Ato.
Batira.
And there it is!
The blue have something to celebrate messy boo-koo, Batira.
Good patience as well from Batira.
Just waiting to see if Jory is going to have a touch.
Once he's told the opening,
it's a lame and no hesitation.
Finally something to at least build on for K-Corps.
Tal just the emotion on their faces from last game, from earlier this game, just need something
positive to point to, and that could be the foundation that they build off of.
They need something.
They had plenty of advantages the last game.
Weren't able to convert the win.
Here comes Atto.
Look for the ceiling reset.
He's on the wrong side of the ball.
He's deflected into the post.
That was almost in.
Up an NAP chart.
to the ball. I'm not going to
be. Nothing any big are. When
that ball pings around. You
don't know where it's going.
But here off the line there is
that's how it looks to move
that momentum forward. Probably
doing a crazy pre jump skin
there from only. Something
you can see plenty from CRR
today switches out of that
They keep threatening for KC, but NIP doesn't look like they've had the same territory they had in the last game.
They're still having success against KC in that midfield stuff with them in the defensive end.
What I will say is, I've been thinking this a lot throughout the last few days.
You know, 1 minute 30 feels like nothing, but in Rocket League it's a lifetime.
It is, yeah.
Yeah, you even saw last game 16 seconds left on the clock when K-Corp went ahead, ended up losing that one in overtime.
You got to play until the whistle and rock and we get honestly, that's beyond.
Once you get that zero, you got to keep your head about.
Yeah, a lot of famous zero second goals.
This weekend as well.
See, once he drama in that regard.
Now we get to that final minute though, that buzzer's silence to it, alerts us to the five-tenant, you know, increases the urgency just to touch.
I smell the goal.
Yeah, big chance.
Oh, Jory is big challenge.
Comes back across and clears it.
KC are already there for Tiro with the reset.
Goes to the top shelf, actually bumps into it.
Sitting in the middle as Jory is again.
Running out of time, boys.
If you want to get back in this,
bang it back in the box quick.
Final 30 seconds.
NIP just holding on.
They're trying to survive.
No pre-jump, but they go like.
Juicy was trying to catch them out.
Doesn't help pay off.
It's tense, isn't it?
Is that out with a little pump there?
Not much luck as Metaira now pushing forward again.
Oh, a boost for CRR.
Absolutely booms it clear.
That's good advice.
He may as tight.
Now we're in the final 10.
All the talk about how long a minute 30 might feel.
Well, 10 seconds.
It ever feels long and rock at least.
Casey need a goal.
And they're stuck in defense at the moment.
Get that ball up.
Oh, it's too late.
Tell you what, Casey,
you've got a lot of work to do
unless they want to finish fourth here.
Sixth game losing streak today. Wow. That's insane. Thank you. And now also if you remember
We haven't had many attempts at a reverse sweep
There at the eSports World Cup. It must not happen yet. It's never happened. It's never happened in all
Of the eSports World Cup history. Yeah, we've never seen well. Guess what?
I'm about to lay all on the land right now. We're about to see a reverse
You really think so? Yeah, we're gonna see it. I'm not feeling it. I'll be honest. I'm gonna go against you here
I'll take the Johnny boy you're wrong
You're wrong Johnny boy because I've got a good feeling I think I'm a cop and wait until the very end to give us what we want
This is it. Can I tell you why I disagree and you can tell me what you think?
Yeah, go I want to hear your counter arguments, but they've been swept twice. Yeah, it's already and it's happening again
That's my you know number one. Yeah number two
I mean, I feel like I'm cheating. I'm still in jade. It's never been in a reverse view for these ones.
Well, it seems like he denied this weekend, but the main reason for me is I just don't see it in their faces.
I don't think I could I'm not seeing the same lock in from KC
that we're used to seeing in these positions extras behind them trying to get their hopes up a wire.
I got three reasons to you. Okay. I look a little blue.
Yeah, you're not wearing red.
Yeah, no, no.
Sorry, sorry.
rifle tower is sick.
Okay.
And the ghets are great.
Okay, I can't argue with any of those blues probably my favorite color as well, so I'll
go with you and all three of them.
They're really wearing red.
I don't see how they're tied into the case of the university here.
But he can see smiles on all these faces as well, and we have seen some flashes,
Atto, the Belgian, he had that crazy double tap, same goal, he gave us a little taste of what he's capable of, but K-Corp, it has not been their day, and if they do somehow manage to salvage this in reverse sweep, at least they can sleep somewhat comfortably.
That's how an incredible big brain analyst, you know everything there is to know about Rocky.
No, you're talking to me, you're talking to me.
You hear that, you're talking to me right now.
I didn't see the back of your head.
In fact, I really want both your opinions here because there's a lot of people that are asking,
what's going wrong with KC? You know, from the start, even coming into semi-finals,
it wasn't this perfect record by any stretch that didn't look fantastic here in Paris.
What's wrong? What's changed? What's going on?
Just in this last game, the ball was in the NIP half
up almost 60% of the time.
But it was almost 60% possession for NIP.
So what that tells me is that it was never coordinated.
That linkage is not there.
It feels like 4K court.
That teamwork is missing.
Yeah, they're going to need to set it up.
This is it.
4KC.
An already disappointing tournament.
could finish them an even lower point for them.
The matchup to decide who's best at EU
in the lead up to Worlds.
Before we get into the grand final
and find out who the best in the world is,
just for Tiro have an angle here.
Try sprint and Jory is tonight.
Yeah, just put in the goal, please.
Put in the goal.
Just proving to be too difficult.
NIP doing well when you can get them all into attack.
Oh, but Tiro in the opting now.
Trying to switch up the vibe.
It must be so stressful as well when you're on the back of a tough losing streak.
You know that your fans are desperately wanting you to come back into this.
Oh, big dunk, holy. Not that long, but Juicy is able to catch.
RKC gonna try to patiently control the midfield in this game.
We'll be seeing all our aggression so far. I think it's been leading towards the former.
That's the big captain's midfield there though.
Zero does get back in close-in for four.
And I think he could do something about it.
Well, NIP looked fairly relaxed at the minute.
Not really in too much danger, I feel like.
They're probably believing as a team right now
that they've got this in the back.
They've got that extra 40k coming into their bank account.
They just got to close this last game out.
Unless we can see finally some kind of a threat from the Blues.
They lose who are usually so deadly, that's it, that's it.
CRR from distance opens this case once again.
Once more James is off a physical play at that Rocket League IQ CRR.
He's been jumping lanes all weekend.
He sees the play before anyone else and that's why he seems so fast.
But it is that Rocket League IQ that has set him apart.
I think it's been a huge treat to witness here at the E-44 Cup.
He's been phenomenal hasn't he?
Oh, is that going to make it all the way through?
No stop-setting the box again.
Is he going to get back in time?
No, he's not!
Sorry, it is too!
Or, NIP!
Casey have completely overextended it.
All he just walked in and took that one away from him.
That's having fun with it now, hasn't he?
This is just playtime for NIP.
They've done it in many worse days for Carbincourt as an organization and eSports, any eSports
than this.
This is becoming hard to believe, 0 and 7.
Relax guys, reverse sweep is coming, the reverse sweep is coming, 2 minutes 50, we've
said it for a long time in Rocket League.
What, what, what, what, what, atow, the reverse sweep is on goal number one.
The journey starts now and it's a good goal.
It is a good goal. They've had good plays here and there.
James mentioned that double tap from Ato and Game 1.
It was one of the best goals in the tournament.
Not scoring with sufficient regularity to take down an NIP today.
Got to start chaining these goals together.
We see some momentum here now, Bill,
because that's definitely what they've been lacking.
Doesn't look like it. Could that start now, Charlie?
Let's get past that, though.
And you're even still seeing how effective
an IP can play on both moves.
That was a 1-2 break out with zero in the tank.
Yeah, putting a shot on that while clearing is an ideal scenario.
Good dog by CRR.
Of course, he jumped hardly.
No problem.
He just stays in the way of the play.
They see lost one goal to a long shot earlier.
They lost another to a counter attack.
They're trying to go over X-tides here.
Do you see?
Oh, they almost died.
You can't wrangle that dude into any papers there.
Good to see that defender hanging out on the backboard.
But NIP, in a tough nut to crack.
And that was not enough from K-Corp to get the equalizer.
I think all the other players are going to be asking later on.
Why do you like playing yelling mighty?
I can't get a full, uh, basketball level.
But Sierra, maybe, or that's all from, uh, from me and Jamer.
We'll see if I have it.
I just, every time he touches the ball, I just want to shout it.
I mean, it's the most pointless touch.
It doesn't matter.
It might work out. I mean, they really aren't digging deep here, KC, Demilans.
Pat's also denied again by Holy.
When KC are keeping it alive, they're recycling the possession quickly.
Jordan's sticking to it, so that's annoying for KC to have to deal with.
brick wall defending to be fair I mean NIP is so composed at the back right now
and then whenever they get the chance they are pushing forward and causing
problems one minute to go will be the last minute of Casey's tournament this
would mean 10 losses out of 10 games in their series that they've lost a hard
statistic to believe even as it happens in front of us but Matira still
has a chance to change that juicy and until blending up behind it and I'm
He are not giving them anything though.
I'll tell you what, I just want another goal
just so we can carry on doing this.
I don't want this, I don't want our casting session
to end like that.
Oh!
Only what you're doing, man!
Give us some time!
Give us a break!
Fortunately, I think for this one,
we spent a lot of time on the technical pause
than we will on the series.
Very much.
Because NIP is a quick work of this.
Very much.
Absolutely, shineboats for KC,
The major champions in one seed are being absolutely devastated.
Oh, but there's more drama.
Axel wants it.
Their second goal.
Did NIP win this in the backboard?
It's CRR.
He might have gone trick-by-trick.
And it was a box kickoff from K-Corp.
It's a good stretch, but the risk is in the high volatility positions.
They might need to go to another one here, James.
Let's see what they do.
They know the fast gene.
They do land a demo, but he didn't get possession.
See what Juicy can do with a full tank.
I think he can do a lot personally.
This is, uh, he's moving that ball forward with,
I'm gonna say, supreme confidence.
It doesn't look like he's moving forward.
No, it is.
He wants the NMP now any more though yet.
They need to get him moving.
Come on, Juicy, do something!
Juicy!
Come on, Juicy!
Oh, no, this can't end now.
I'm having too much fun.
Alright, get it!
And then he overs.
Oh!
What a shame. What a shame for KC, but let's just give the flowers to NIP. What a tournament
this has been for these guys. All three of them just phenomenal throughout, putting on
a show for their fans who've travelled out, but also the ones who are watching from home
right now stellar stuff and they deserve some serious props and they deserve
the extra prize for that's for sure. I mean much as name some of the teams that
NIP is taken down at this event. Shopify Rebellion, Twisted Minds both made it to
the playoffs. They took down Gentlemaze and now K-Corp. That is a stellar
result for NIP. I know they're not gonna be happy with it right now
obviously they want to lift the trophy but looking back I think in a
couple days once the nerves cool off they will say man we really put on a
show. Incredible. Guys when we were in the lobby last night we had a plan to do
in this special call. Do you remember it? I do. We never got to do it. It gets a dirt.
So let's just do it now. Let's just do it. Bang! There you go. It's your view. On the stage.
Over to Lyft. That's definitely coaches. An NIP stands strong as they're getting that
third place at the EWC. Congratulations, Addy, of course. You guys have had an amazing run
this tournament, you know, coming fourth, fourth seed. Not everyone was expecting you guys,
so what do we want to remember from this tournament and how proud are you from the
boys? Just that we've established our identity. We're here. We're here to play. We're not
here to muck around. I'm incredibly proud of the boys to show up and have some identity
this tournament and couldn't look forward more to Worlds. Of course, and I think you guys
We're happy to finally have found our identity on this stage, I'm very proud of the boys and of this result, now I'm turning to you, I know it's always painful to have these interviews after the defeat, but I wanted to have you here anyway because you had a monster support throughout the week, the major of Paris, etc.
We know you're going to be back, what do you want to remember of these few players in Paris and why are you going to be back for the World's?
We had a hard time getting into the game against Falcons, honestly.
I think we had everything in our heads and we had a lot of trouble applying.
We gave them the game too, and there are several games, several errors, etc.
that we can't get to, honestly.
But it's a lesson for the Worlds, and we'll give it our all to get them back.
finals as the KC fans are chanting for the coach extra who do you see taking it
who's bringing it home SSG or Falcons I give me Falcons Falcons of course
imagine what you write d'accord Falcons Amélie Réquipe du monde actuellement
l'Amélie Réquipe du monde non mais l'Amélie Réquipe du Tournau oui
Sajem, we are the best team in the world, no but the best team in the tournament
probably I'm gonna let you guys handshake thank you very much for being
there boys beautiful sportsmanship and I'm sure and make sure to stay with us
as we're heading to our grand finals in Paris
a little bit of a rocky start there. Luckily for them, they figured it out. They conquered
their demons. They actually pretty much destroyed Lynne vision earlier today, put them out of
the tournament, crushed their key, and now they move on into the playoffs.
So any other teams that are exceeding expectations or maybe missing the mark?
You know, I think Nip leaves a lot to be desired. But then, you know, some ninjas
and pajamas, I think they leave a lot to be desired. They're actually kind of playing
right now, but that's for a lifeline against the last day of the groups, right? So you
You kind of got to put it all out there, what you've got the show for it at least.
A lot of these teams, maybe they didn't make the cut that you would think they would.
But then again, this is a fresh new season.
A lot of these teams just getting the feedback.
And if someone were to ask you for a sentence or two in terms of an update of what's happened
here in this last week, how would you describe it?
Oh man, we've had some grudge matches.
We have so many teams vying to be that number one in the world, but all of them realize the
weight of being an Esports World Cup club champion.
So whether they're doing it for their organization or they're doing it for their teammates or
themselves, even the parents or whatever, like they're out there for a specific purpose
and I mean they're all giving it hell, but Jesus.
It do be like that sometimes, right?
It is what it is.
Thank you so much for the update and for your time.
That's it from us.
Back to you guys.
I'm here at the Alliards courtyard with Mercia, the eSports World Cup, we've got your remote
We're going to play some Rocket Legs, best of two, first of two should I say, what do
you got?
I hope you've been practicing dude, because while you've been doing your interviews, I've
actually been grinding so hard in this sport, so you're in my turf right now.
Yeah, we'll see about that.
Let's get into it.
Oh
Two all, baby! Two all! What do you have to say to yourself, Mertzy?
Bro, have you been grinding? What's going on? I couldn't even leave my own half.
Hey, Alliard's called you up. We're having fun, Mertzy. If you want to come play him,
Get down it, cause he ain't very good, ironically.
The
The time is now. Welcome back into Paris for the final fight on the Rocket League pitch.
This will decide who is moving on as your champions of the Esports World Cup and who
is going to have their key crushed in front of all the fans. Welcome in and plug it alongside
the Lord Lord. Lord Lord, excuse me. We got James White, the Chiefs, A.K. Michael and
Johnny Boy at the end. And I want to start with you son of Robert DeBruce. How do
you feel about this finals matchup and how surprised are you to see my American
space station gaming in it. I'm very surprised to see space station gaming in but this, it
feels like a coming of age tournament for them. I think this is what we've been waiting
for. They've got the potential and now they're really proven it. They're living up to the
hype, especially Diaz with the 1v1 hype over the years now showing that you do it
in threes as well. Achieves are we worried that space station is outnumbered 20 fans
to 2,000 here in the arena? Terrified. Yeah. Petrified. Emotified. No, I don't
think they care at all. I mean, space station, first final, you're living in
No matter what the environment is, I think they're glad to be here and the environment is what it is
I don't think it's gonna rock them too much James you and I are family man. We love money and supporting our families
Who is gonna support a whole generation or multiple generations?
It's looking like the Falcons are primed for another big pay check
They have stolen the lead and not by much it is a 50 point difference over a
GL who is done for the week so the Falcons will close week six as our top
team the question is space station gaming if they pull off the win will they
get the 250 points to jump them all the way up to 13th or they will score
significantly more than currently in 20th. Club Championship is a big deal.
I'll just reiterate this I said it before when we were talking about
Team Falcons and Drolley in that move where he came in and replaced TRK on a
legendary Team Falcons team lots of pressure on him they brought him in
for this moment. They brought him in to do one thing. And that was to win the eSports
World Cup for a third time. And he's he might just do it. He is so close to doing something
unbelievable. Let's take a look back at the origin. This was year one and he has done
it again. Tell me a little bit about this man, trolley from Morocco, a rock star here.
Well, you know, this team didn't start off their season all that well either. So
I'm looking back to that BDS. Yeah, they caught fire similar story to Falcons right now BDS were very disappointing for the RLCS
Majors, and then they win eSports World Cup and Worlds that Falcons weren't even at the last major
They could win eSports World Cup and Worlds with the form there in just base station to beat
I think they're the favorites, but you can't underestimate SSG just how impressive is this by the way to win potentially three
eSports World Cups with three different lineups Michael
It's hard enough to win anything at all.
I mean, the fact that Drolley's so good,
everybody wants a piece of him,
I can tell you how good that guy is.
I mean, Drolley's just an absolute beast.
Keep talking about it as we take a look at his highlights
because we gotta run some beautiful bean footage.
This is score after score from the Falcons
taking control over KC.
Yeah, Drolley consistently.
I mean, for as long as people have seen him on the pitch,
that goes as far as he can, as loudly as he can.
He wants the ball all the time.
He loves to put pressure on the opposition.
He's had to learn a little bit
about how to work with a team like Ross and Killers,
but you know, for this tournament,
boy does it look like they found their strategy.
James, for the rest of the Falcon Squad,
it's of course the twins.
We love watching the duo dynamics.
What have they shown you here, particularly in Paris?
That they're still the best in the game.
Like these guys are unstoppable.
And I think for many people,
we were expecting this from the very beginning,
when they brought in draw.
We thought that this was going to be
a standard performance for them,
as results like this.
We never saw it, but now we are seeing it,
and you really do just have to appreciate
how remarkable these twins are as players.
The Falcons went after Nico in Counter-Strike.
He's won a major looking for an EWC title.
They went after Drawley, who already has two EWC titles,
and they're looking for a third.
On the other side of this fight, though,
you have a space station gaming from NA,
and Diaz is looking to win a trophy for America.
I'm here with DRs from SSG ahead of the Grand Final, you're in the Grand Final of Esports
World Cup.
How are you feeling, mate?
I'm feeling so good, feeling great, I'm confident through the Grand Finals and I'm going to
try my best to end the tournament.
Awesome, confident, ready to go and you as a player, you know, you've done it in
1v1, incredible 2v2 player, what would it mean for you to win a 3v3 Esports World
Cup?
Everyone think I'm better through this, so I just want to prove they're wrong
and try our best to become one of the best series playing in the world.
You're coming up against Falcons, they look great, they just swept obviously KC in that match.
What are your thoughts on them coming into that Grand Final?
Falcons is a good team, they played very aggressive and they played well in the ball,
but I think we're just better and we're going to try to beat them.
And we saw you yelling in that semi-final, getting up and about, getting animated.
Obviously Falcons have a lot of support in the crowd as well.
Will we see you yelling and getting up and about in that Grand Final?
If needed. Yeah, I'm doing that. I love it. Well, best of luck mate. Cheers
Last year SSG bowed out of the competition. They put their controllers down
They gave up but that was without Diaz and since he's joined this lineup. They are playing with new energy
Let's compare the two start strikers Diaz versus Drali. Who's been the bigger star Johnny?
I'm thinking right now for me. It's Diaz. He's been our standing
He's beaten Drali and all the key stats except assists, but hey, Drali's got a lot of assists there
And of course, this is a team effort. So let's talk about the rest of space station gaming. You've watched him
I know you thought and our G was gonna be the better team out of NA
But what is SSG shown you here? Well, I thought I so was Shopify hit that shop of our rebellion was also gonna be the better team
I think you know, I'm just gonna echo what Johnny said
This is the coming of age tournament for SSG
but like even looking at team Falcons in SSG the common thread is that one of these teams will live up to the height and
And for both band groups, I mean, that is,
oh, it's just gonna be so appreciated, valued, cherished.
If Team Falcons can do it,
Joralee's story is unbelievable.
But if SSG can do it,
then I think it's going to make people really wonder,
is this going to be a new era of North American Rock League?
Were the best team that is competing for those titles,
is these young players on SSG?
It has to be.
I mean, if they win this one,
sky's the limit as far as I'm concerned.
I came in I have to say criminally underrated didn't think there was any chance for them to even make it out of groups
I had a bracket that was way too tough and they've kept running in the top contender after top contender and they keep winning
And they're doing it in game seven. We should point out
This is now going a game nine potentially Johnny boy in the grand bottle walk me through how we got here
So you're looking up there at Felicans KC to board zero that's a standout result in this bracket for me
every other series has been close. We'll pretend a third place fashion and happy.
But in the quarters, the semis, everything's close. Everything's, you know,
absolutely razor thin margins. Falcon's so smashed. Carming Corp.
They say they're able to do that in the groups, but I think Falcons in the semis today,
they look like they're on a different level.
Correction. Thank you production. I remember and call beautiful.
It is a best of seven still in the grand finals. So you need four games to take this thing.
Achieves are we looking for high scoring games low scoring games? What is the true testament at peak rocket league game play?
What do you want to see as an analyst from these players?
You know, I think I would love to see that Falcons deep made defense come back from their KC series
The fact they held KC that basically zero was
Incredible and if that's how they're playing defense with even low boost
I honestly don't know of case space station. Who's their best defenseman? Is there one or is it great?
I love Roa specifically on defense
Astrali did a great job catching things that the twins couldn't, but I love Rwass in and around the net.
Thought he played great that series.
And then, of course, if you're looking on the other side,
Space Station Gaming, the huge underdog, only 15% of the fans are cheering for them to take down the Falcons tonight.
James, is it that man on your screen that we need to look at?
Is it Diaz or is it the blonde-headed reveal?
Well, I think the thing that makes SSG so dangerous is that it is all of them.
It really is. Diaz, I think, has helped the mental side of the game for the team.
But all three of them have that ability.
We even saw Reveal in the last series stepping up defensively, dodging bumps.
And you know Falcons are going to be coming after him on the bumps and demos.
And he was able to be a key player to make that stand and score on those counterattacks.
Yeah, it's all about keeping up with the Falcons a little at a time.
So we'll see if SSG can do that.
I'm excited to see how this one goes.
I have a feeling that since SSG is involved, we're going to another game seven.
All the sweeps are under the rug.
They are done for the day.
So let's make it official.
I need to know not only who is going to win this tournament, how many games does it take
and who is leading your MVP race right now?
I'm going to say Falcons in six with Roas as my pick for the MVP.
Wow.
It's they've never played.
This is a completely uncharted territory.
He's never seen this play beginners.
I mean, this is the first time ever, so I have no idea what to expect.
If I had to guess on history, I'll take Falcons.
I got Rolas leading as well. It's a good pitch, Jack.
It's hard to go against this crowd, James.
I predicted Falcons to win this whole thing for the very beginning.
I'm going to predict it now.
I think it's going to go the distance, and I'm going to go with the other twin.
I think it's going to be Killers who will be the MVP.
And why do you think Killiers is going to be the player to watch?
I mean, you just see the amount he's been able to contribute defensively,
but also offensively.
He is truly a dynamic player.
He is a dynamic player to watch everyone on the stages
and they are ready to put on a show.
Ladies and gentlemen, lock in to the Esports World Cup Grand Final.
Everything has led up to this.
Let's run it.
I expect you to be there with me.
Let me show you I can't mess up!
Longer chance to blow the roof of this place.
It's time, Miss Alvarez.
I just want to win, beat everyone else.
I mean, that's just how we are.
That's the level of confidence you need to have
if you want to win.
And if you're not playing confident,
I don't know why you're playing at all.
Bring it on.
Well, we've done well so far, but the job isn't finished, so we have to win.
Our trajectory isn't the easiest, and so far we've just taken revenge on the teams
to have been us in the past.
I don't really think about it, I just like to stay in the moment honestly.
You
Ladies and gentlemen, the big finals are the ones you want to see very often.
Not yourselves.
When finals are the moment that everybody anticipates and expects.
But not this one.
This one is absolutely different because it feels like a collision between two stars.
because nobody could have predicted.
And that's the beauty of Rocket League.
It doesn't care about your representation.
It doesn't care about your reputation.
It doesn't care about expectation.
It rewards those who step up and pop off when the moment arises.
Absolutely. And here at the STC Arena,
we're going to have two continents,
two worlds, two stories, two trajectories.
A star is going to fall on one side
and a planet, one of the largest
the next to Roketric de l'autre but here today at the STC arena those two teams
are given the exact same opportunity here. It gives great teams don't always
arrive on schedule sometimes they arrive all at once. And when opportunity
knocks at the eSports World Cup you don't just answer the door Ian don't you?
You kick the door down. Lou should we welcome our grand finalists?
Ladies and gentlemen, all together, for our great finalists!
Let's do three!
Let's welcome the teams!
Falcons!
Falcons have spent three years chasing this trophy.
Space station gaming! They have arrived before anyone thought they were ready.
One team carries every heartbreak that came before.
And the other plays like heartbreak hasn't even been invented yet.
Falcons even recruited the man who stopped them twice in Drally.
An SSG brought three fearless young guys who just keep refusing to fall down to the Big Docs.
Big Docs!
One side hasn't finished business!
The other is writing history in real time!
It's Space Station Gaming!
It is...
FALCONS!
Harris, this is the grand final of Rocket League and the eSports World Cup!
FAT 2 WEEE!
You guys have not been giving bad words on this stage and I know that you have respect
for each other.
But Roas, can you tell me why Falcons are going to be the bigger team today?
We're gonna show it in the field.
You're gonna show it in the finals. Are you gonna prove him wrong and why?
We're just gonna play our game and try to beat them.
Of course, the power of the American youth versus the Saudi prodigies.
Ladies and gentlemen, the grand final at the Sports World Cup, the Rocket League, begins!
No! No!
Look around me right now. Absolutely packed. STC Arena Stumpy. This is a matchup that a lot
of us didn't really expect. Certainly one finalist, but SSG, what a run they've had.
SSG have absolutely set themselves on top of North America and now they're hoping to
do the exact same thing when it comes to the international stage. Look, their run
so far has been nothing short of incredible.
These two teams truly, if you've paid attention from day one, have steamrolled everybody that they have gone against.
There has not been one team that they have fought on either end that is quite compared up until now.
A final match between Space Station Gaming and the Falcons here at EWC.
20-26 is going to be one for the history books.
You look towards how Falcons got him. They've had a fantastic couple of matches.
They went for two versus Twisted Minds in those quarterfinals and absolutely
bodied Carmine called 4-0, sent them on their downward spiral ahead of the World
Championships. For they then lost to NIP in the third place match on the other
side of things. SSG, they had to go through rebellion. That is what made an
unborn North American team in seven games and then again, which is seven
versus Nip, they've had a lot time to series.
Exactly, both of these teams have overcome a quick tonight, as one could say, throughout
their bracket, and the other funny thing too, right, both of these teams coming up on Group
B, from the group stage there, headed all the way into playoffs, but like I've been
mentioned too, you know, SSG, you're taking down Shopify or Belly, and NIP in Game 7,
But the Falcons, I feel like the most unsung heroic game that brought them here was the R8 win.
A team that was finding these upsets in online play back in Saudi Arabia and they finally faced off here on land.
You thought maybe some young lends would have pulled it off, not quite.
It's worth America's young lends never gonna have their next crash at the show.
I mean, over those groups, too,
when you mentioned that Pakistan had to go through RA,
Col as quite poetic, then they had to also go through twisted minds
to get to the ground final as one of their matches in the playoffs.
Yeah, as we get ready for battle here,
I think one thing Pakistan's have done so far is banish
an awful lot of demons.
There's something about eSports World Cup,
there's something about Jalee on course to be
the only three-time eSports World Cup winner across any game.
We are getting going right now.
The kickoff is won by Vulcans, but it's going to be a battle across up to seven games.
Worth mentioning as well, Paul Draal, in fact, that he's not only battling to be the three-time back-to-back-to-back champion,
he would have done it with three sets of teammates, something that we've looked through the archives.
We don't believe has ever been done in the history of EWC across any of the games.
No, it absolutely has not happened quite yet.
Both of these teams trying to make it straight for themselves.
Diablo, they shot on net.
Gordna trying to open things up here for SSG.
The team that has yet to find themselves in a final here in quite some time.
To something tap onto from Reveal and all these players that they call so far
have earned their flowers.
But Diablo, the real spearhead of this team,
when you look towards MVP performance,
which we'll be doing later today,
he's been mined in peace so far for sure.
The space station, he's been the rising star.
any play three is I'll be certainly know that you can now
forward towards the world championships in the RLCS and Vulcans
keep control here towards Charlie it's a
foreign start that's exactly the start stop here at space station gaming needed
yeah and I think the SSG you know you talk about there how young they are
but that doesn't mean that they're inexperienced
it's not for goodness sake it's retired and come back again
he's done an entire life he's got a wife and kids by all accounts
here they come though
Killis puts that one downwards.
Sack has a chance again, he is.
Even though weekend off to play some Rocket League,
by the way, the kids apparently is trying to get forward
from that back corner.
It's going to be in the centre,
but he's trying to get a couple of tenths of their own.
But they should be with them so far right now,
and that's also what we've seen a lot.
Look at Diaz chasing down the goalkeeper.
Reveal comes forward.
It's Diaz by Killis.
Seeing so far, so from SSG,
they are going on these counterattacks.
They're incredibly happy to do that,
throughout the entire length of the tournament.
It's been quite nice to see how SSG
Fates off against every single different opponent.
We've seen that from others, but they have certainly been the most successful at that.
Meanwhile, called Falcons.
Much more of a locked in kind of play style.
They will go fast, they will be aggressive,
and they will get their first goal of the Grand Finals.
Yeah, it's pretty rare to be able to keep a clean sheet against Falcons.
They keep on coming, they work the ball side to side,
and as soon as that ball is dumped by killers,
Charlie will be there.
Charlie, a man who wants to win it all yet again.
It's been a long season for him, but finally he's raising to the 4th.
Yeah, a lot of eyes are going to be on Jirali throughout this series here.
He leaves at top 3 in assists for this team,
so him getting involved on that front there is going to be something to expect
throughout the rest of these games.
Tied so far as Diaz carries his team down to the other end.
A shot to be taken for SSG the lead.
Diaz again, that spearhead, making sure that he goes from backboard to the reset.
Almost fakes out Cole has his own move there wanting to go for a Diaz and instead completely manboozled.
He saw up an only earlier as soon as Diaz is in the air as he can't quite keep his headphones on as some excited for that one.
Hogan's just had to respect it.
Hogan's been given the ball there from the kick and was going to hit the back walls.
That should be able to get this one away but it's only as far as Drali.
Hogan's very quickly realizing they're not going to have this one all their own way and that is credit to the way that S.J. been playing this tournament.
Yeah, I think the Falcons normally they can look to as they steamroll a lot of opponents
They did so literally about half an hour ago an hour ago against calming call
They were an incredible offensive force burn call you look as well defensively the way that killers in particular and relax team up on defense
Is second to none?
Yes, has this ball in this course?
The best touch reveal helps them out actually so Diaz can at least get that ball forwards
So she happened to get the ball away,
to push anything just how they'd love to win this opening game,
to really make a statement just to Falcons,
to their fans as well, to continue to beat their drums,
to the atmosphere as they have tried to get that one on target.
He is so involved in this and Falcons will not like that.
It was a great attempt from him.
He's trying to just get found by his teammate.
He took down how many of these players get their assists
and SSG there found each other so frequently revealed.
He says, I just find that on the left,
Well, he's fine in the midfields, Diaz-Holst-Morver, shut down there by Killis, and I was mentioning his defense, the way in which he is involved in every single play it feels like on his own goal line, I've been so impressed with.
I mean, you talk about Killis trying to make that lead there right, he's been all around for this Falcon squad, he still continues to lead here in the EWC with almost one goal per game here, but on the flip side of things, Diaz matching him nearly tall for tall, 0.95, so SSG statistically should be a fairly even matchup.
Couple of serious sharp shoots at this lobby. Here's one of them. Revealed.
It's Charlie puts it into the corner of Rwaskis.
That's the middle. It's so dangerous right now for Falcons.
SSG look dangerous. It's something to do come forwards.
The scene that the break and the take course and everything with the third place playoff.
It's been a never-meaning too much.
Killers. To the ceiling. Met by Diaz.
Diaz was a point for that one at all. It was fantastic speed.
And Sack follows it up as well. SSG have the edge of pace right now.
The job would not expect coming into this on Falcons.
They've got one of the quick teams in this competition.
They're not trying to work their own back half and shut down quickly.
That half way line in defense, final 50, tipped right above the crossbar.
The Falcons, they need it something.
There is a goal that needs to be found and in the midfield,
Reals is the one to collect.
Reals wants to get the flick reset,
and said, Lisa Petralli trying to get the double!
That's so fast!
An incredible turn from the Falcons.
It took a little while, but it did not come too late.
Look at this, between Reals and Reali.
the same old same old between the two finding each other in the end to be able to
tie things here in the final 38.
Take it quick we've got a kickoff. Falkens have come back twice.
Now can they complete the job and take the lead for the first time in this series.
That brought it to a reveal.
Quite big enough and Charlie's getting more involved something that's the last thing that SSG won.
It's going to be frustrating as well.
Falkens of course they had that incredible comeback against Twisted Lines but Twisted Lines
that was more on them a long shot.
Let's go on target, let's shut down quickly by OAS.
The last tries to take out a couple of plays and we get one of them and Charlie's a little bit awkward right now
The falcon is trying to get it out of their own corner
It should be safe that tries to change that it says as she pushing all the way to the end of game number one
Yes tries to get at the center Charlie please a chance reveal saved by killers freeing opportunity
Does end up still being a threat to the ceiling wonderful pass that no one's gonna be there it's thick cleared long
And I'll tell you what ladies and gentlemen what else but overtime that's a come this far
SSG have played really well in game number one, but that could be snatched away in a second, especially if they lose the kick-off.
Who's coming in? It's Charlie! He's shooting to be fantastic so far today, not quite that time.
Just keep the attack going though.
Hopped a little bit too far wide, but Roas now, there to receive, wrist it around one.
What would be the second? Does pick it on a little bit further.
Can you see the boost totals now? Low for SSG.
Never have to deal with this.
They're doing this all day long, sweeping that ball.
Playing it laterally, but that's a huge clearance there from Zach.
This game starts to find its real footing, popped up high from Killers.
One chance to reach it, instead of going to the second touch,
it's in the bottom corner, it's the one.
Drolley and Dagger through SSG's Port Armor.
This is the player to watch here in the finals.
The one in contention for goat conversation.
Three different teams, three different rosters, and well on his way to attempting a third title here at EWC.
Six different teammates as well. He has been the guy. 618 points a hat trick. Everything going through Drolley there.
Yeah, Drolley truly for me is the one that I've been excited to be. Justice Consisted here in this game, number one for the Falcons.
Like I said, number 3 in a since per game, setting out about 0.89 overall at EWC so far.
It continues on here in this game at number 1.
I will say, a close game between the two, not unexpected for those of you watching from home.
Both of these teams have had fairly close games throughout their entire brackets to get here.
The difference being that the Falcons have had a fairly aggressive game to get to this point,
but SSG's found a way to slow him down.
And you talk about the aggression in the end that the Falcons ended up really pushing for.
It's got me frustrating mentally for SSG thinking,
we've done it, we've done all the work, you get down to the brass tacks for all,
and Falcons will just continue pushing.
And as I said, everything going through Jirali,
an amazing performance just as he head towards the Bidden Temple.
game two loads up and SSG will be well aware that they've lost a big opportunity to at least
dent that Falcon's put armor and it's turning into exactly that I'm beaten so far today
in the semi finals against Calmington. Now I can tell you exactly what that fall armor
is game number one, trolley shooting 75% on everything you put towards net so we'll
see if that continues here in game two. Only looking like an MVP yet again at the
The eSports World Cup is to keep doing what he's been doing, achieving that capability
given three times in a row, but she again, I've got this control of the ball from a kickoff
here in game two on Big Tempo, so that pushes him onto the back wall, remember, she's fighting
all the way, the games go all the way, so many, Australia pushes that one forward,
it's the as again, takes control of it, necessarily really reading the pace of the ball as
well as the farthest game.
I think it's remarkable how well they've really adapted to this kind of level of opponent too.
They couldn't take that first game, they thought they should have done shot on target, Charlie again
but had to go through the final defender and Zack historically has been the player on
SSG that I think is really impressed me a lot when you look to the earlier series in this tournament.
He's gonna need to show up here in the grand finals for the inexperience could maybe be a killer
Unfortunately for SSG who plays on the other side.
Zack catches this one in the corner, he goes for sealing himself, reveal, tries to help it what it's way and does.
This killer's able to take a touch, that clearly you mentioned Stumpy, underneath Klias.
Ali's coming in, but he's a pressure again from SSG.
They're dealing with the track from Vulcan, it's very well so far in the game.
He can change so quick, when you're up against Ruas, when you're up against Charlie,
he's got to put over the intercourse bar somehow, in Amazingville now!
Ends up jumping for it, maybe rushes his chance, but low on Boosi,
but he just had to get there as soon as he could.
They hit the decision, but the execution was not the one.
They should have scored that, but we'll see from the replay as they'll keep on going.
revealed don't start one of his own goals that which is Charlie
It's not about going into that full but it's not against it in the end. He's gonna have to coming forward
Let's get a final touch. It's a fake Diaz is a little bit awkward. Does that helps him out?
The book what opportunities really starting to find themselves here for the Falcons essence
You struggle to get out of their own blue half one chance for the right hand ball Diaz
Try and fake out relax. They play so fast the Falcons are ultimately
ultimately fakeable, but the amount of plays that they go for when a second man comes in instead is even more impressive.
We go over the top reveal that moves that one away, a small pressure for Vulcans.
Can he get this touch?
Trolley gets it on target again. Killers is coming in, tries to funnel it home.
It's not there again for us! Just past the post! So close!
So many opportunities as Falcons. They just can't squeeze any of them home. More shots.
Balling their way. Trolley, the only man up to this and a bump is successful on the goal line.
Keeps the keeper away and puts Falcons in the lead.
Clean and beautiful effort from this look at this.
It starts out with the demo.
You see the bombs Raleigh taking the shot.
It's all calculated from this Falcons roster
to be able to find themselves in that other half
and make the space.
Halfway through the game and that's Falcons with the lead.
They did not get this luxury in that person.
Yet they still managed to take it.
A huge pitch there from Killers.
It's all the way back to the SSG half
It's what the f**kings do, they keep making you think you've got a chance to score, but
it wasn't just their attacking against Casey earlier, it's their defending on the goal line.
Oh, they're so good always. So positive, there's Zach.
He's touching to the corner, Killers fakes it up completely and then that's around to get that touch as well.
If the ceiling pitch is completed, there's going to be brilliance here.
From Killers, almost gets it over the top, there's more danger from Poulton.
He's had some MVP shouts himself, Jorbey attacks in the green room,
he's shouting at me saying, how dare you vote for Durali!
Killers deserves his flowers and truly, I could not agree more and he may well prove it here.
against reveal against 150 and that sees that top right corner
They couldn't sink the ball there a lot of boosts in favour of Falcons ruin a much on the side of space station gaming
Yeah, who else was taken out there and that made that attack come to nothing
That's waiting. He's got a hundred boosts. Maybe he's thinking that he's got none because Diaz forces
Once the back wall the decent first start so could get some danger here for Falcons
But that can't be too much with it so reveal has to take a turn not much time left in this one stun
It's gonna be a moment for Tiaz, end to end.
If Tiaz, this is what he does!
He does it again!
Game one, he was necessary.
Game two, he is the man for SSG
and it is a flip reset to beat the final that sinks it past Falcons.
If you do not have your eyes on this kid,
you are absolutely blind to what the SSG style is.
This kid is who they've been playing around currently.
It is worth it absolutely this team working together to push them forward same to be said on the other end though
Ruas has the ball here plays it out into the corner a shot from Drolley off the crossbar
Killers the response is almost immediate
They're the medium over a wafts and Drolley and a little bit of help from the post so he can just overhead of the final
SFG guy
Vulcans another late lead as the shaping scorer but once again they find themselves rushing to the finish line
Vulcans dragging them every step of the way Ruas tries to make it even better. He's got the rich
Only it's just above the killer's
Gonna miss that Vulcans pulling away
With that assist right there. He also becomes the all-time leading scorer in assist at the 2026 and overall EWC
It's looking really good for Falcons right about now.
Their fans are continuing this party atmosphere.
SSG have to get something going.
Diaz looks there most likely,
but Girali's meeting him in the air
and will steal that boost as well.
And it really has been an incredible performance
from the Falcons.
Nothing can shake them.
They sit on their perch,
their claws wrapped around the trunk,
and they make sure that they are the team
that everybody aspires to be.
Zack whips around this one.
He has something going soon for SSG.
She tries to get over the top.
It's almost a bump on the goal line.
40 seconds left.
Diaz, he waits.
Roas onto that back wall.
Great catch by Reveal.
SSG, they're taking their time to be too much.
They have to get things going immediately.
However, Falcons, they've got different ideas.
Want to make sure that they can score.
And the next goal, Reveal up to the double,
but Roas would just let enough boost in.
What a catch and an inflict to the back wall,
caught by his twin.
And then the counter attack is almost immediate.
And as we get to the final 15 seconds,
They are still doing skybound acrobatics.
It's just enough for Falcons right now to send that ball high,
to keep it away from SSG like a ball on a string,
and that's exactly what they are doing.
Space station, attack one more, attack,
but it is not gonna happen.
The pot armor is growing.
It is becoming too powerful for anything to pierce.
2-0 in the series for Falcons,
and playing so freely well and truly unshakable.
With SSG taking their time out,
They will need a couple of minutes just to think about this one.
X-Bur has got a little bit of work to do.
Yeah, there's a lot to think about in this series for SSG.
Falkins, I mean, most eyes were drawn to the fact that Jolly has done such an incredible job,
not only throughout the group stage and the playoff bracket,
but now eyes return back onto the twins.
This game alone, Ruas and Kaleers both move themselves up on the leaderboard here at DWC.
lost now sitting with 56 overall on assist careers with his goals that the
two goals to his name in this series something he moves on to the all-time
leading scorer you guys talk about ball armor
members of this team look like they have an all-store order on themselves and
they just keep climbing up those rankings they find themselves or Skyward
But, Darlene knows what that feeling is to lift the EDBC trophy.
He wants to share that with the twins on his team.
And taking the boys out of Saudi Arabia does not mean that they are going to be any less supported.
The amount of noise directly behind us from the Balkan fans is immense.
And truly hope there's a microphone in the middle of that cacophony.
Because it's making it hard for us to hear.
If you think we're shouting everybody, all of this sound is bleeding into our ears.
I promise this is us attempting a normal talking noise. But yeah, this is a very loud and exciting matchup on both ends of the field. I do want to hand some flowers though to this SSG squad just being here in this final is such a big deal not only for these players but for the organization themselves.
themselves the last time they found themselves in a final was way back in
21-22 at the Winter Major in LA. I don't know if you can even remember about that.
But back on Arsenal, Rebels, and Daniel are on the team at this point.
Oh, Dream Team!
The Dream Team! At this point in time, by the way, two of them are retired.
Daniel don't want to be seen and right now SSG gives North America all the hope that they can find here at UWC.
And you'd think that the space station can fly higher than the Falcons, and yet 2-0.
And the two games into this series have been an incredible turnaround.
Falcons, they are well on their way to the twins' first EWC Championship.
Because they're playing rock-a-league from another stratosphere so far this tournament.
And to that sub-season, Zach, he gets a pinch straight away into the ceiling.
Ruass follows suit to the ceiling himself, turns it into a quick reset.
was met quickly. One thing I was saying just out of the series something was that
Space Station were dealing with the pulp in speed. You said that's still the case a couple of games in?
Yeah, I think that to an extent we're seeing the Falcons just sort of overwhelm SSG every now and then.
Normally when you look at North America they are a slower region compared to Falcons.
And SSG, it must be just a few unreal units between them because they play exceptionally
fast, a rare error between Charlie and Killers who will see SSG be able to capitalize on
that grape about from Diaz and yet a diving return. Another block there from Diaz.
Or on Diaz, should I say? He's got 100 moves to the tank again. Reveal, leaves it for him,
love the idea that Killers reads it. Because if these sorts of plays open over again so far, Diaz
tries to pump out Ruas. Reveal there, what's it going to pass in the sense that's trying to
get something going, but if Vulcan's able to suppress any attack, 50-50 is perfect.
It's been quite an extended period of pressure here for SSG Evol, somewhat rare, all three of them sitting briefly on 100 boosts.
They have otherwise been starting this series, so will this be the difference maker?
Diaz again going for a triple tap in the air, and the air dribble has been successful this time, just lacking that slippery set that has been the killer moment.
Jirali waits in his own corners, that reads it, killers slows down, Alpen's never afraid to slow the ball down just for a split second before striking.
and there's a quick there again from SSG which, who has read some people for that,
Trikula's comes to get his catch as that one goes round the world.
Dralia's, no one to pass through in the centre, it looks like he'll get some boost for his troubles,
no one's going to go into the corner, so Diaz can get that one, Kula's onto the back wall,
wants to corner this one up, should be able to follow this one up, does exactly that!
This is your all-time EWC leading score, and he's showing you why.
Look at this double off the backboard all the time and the space of the world that he wanted has been given.
The Falcons take their lead in my goodness, it has been a dominating fashion every single time.
These two are faced off in the series. The Falcons 10% better than the last, but SSG trying to show them what they're made of.
As I remember, TAPDDS tries to get the early equalizer, isn't quite able to.
Rewas booms it long, that's good enough for Balkans yet again.
Keeping that string away from SSG, Zach.
Just more way of the ball, Kules is there.
Some awkward touch there into the centre.
If a Falklands player had read that, it could have been more dangerous.
He tries to dance with it, and I wouldn't be doing that, so we're as approaching.
Falkans, they're going to be building up this pressure currently on a nine-game win streak.
This would be 10 if they can take it, stretching all the way from the quarter-finals to now.
Got unbeaten since that three-game win streak against Pisted Minds.
One pop-tie from D'Anne.
A reset central that has been a difference maker is almost found by Reveal.
And we're seeing SSG begin to come online and use hope that it's not too late.
Killers given the ball by Ruas.
The 20s are still alive and well after all these years.
An incredible story in these spots.
Charlie, that ball is going to knock you too much with it.
Ruas is coming in, gets the challenge towards the left.
But Killers is approaching yet again.
Falcons is keep on coming.
I mean, that can be a bit of a lie, the black hole.
It comes with Drowley in the end, they make it look simple.
And I feel like from our perspective, you can see the planning of the killers.
He bounces it on the side of his car for the entirety of the wall around the corner.
You just know the jump is coming.
You know the pass is on and Drowley is there ready to punch.
That's what's made the parking so different from this SSG squad so far,
is how well they connect on these players up close.
close trolley denied a chance to shoot though one of the better moments for ssg defensively
rewass off the backboard here in the quarterback one for him now as killers locks it high and sack
going to respond nicely 100 seconds cold for ssg really needs to be thinking and bear in mind
this is right after they take the time out killers gets the flick reset from the back wall
he wants to get the bump as well against reveal reveal there's at least sevens to get that one
to the side of the rewass once again reading it perfectly it's that point booms it back
Above his goal, Killis.
They catch, everything's done so well for Falcons right now.
That's a bit of clearance there, right there.
Just a little bit of work.
I don't quite do it just yet, I feel squeezed up through, but
there's just always one more Falcon.
And I think also, not necessarily playing a tidy game,
but playing such an effective game.
Next time I do this, they won't be on my goodness.
Not a DS could get the bump.
It becomes a lot harder if you're playing 2B3,
but I think Falcons would take it.
Revealed.
Just to get this one to the side.
Lovely preach up there from Zack.
It's the catch by the ceiling.
Just get the dunk as well, but again,
I've been able to get that challenge to the side.
Ruass, he tries to punch it forwards.
It won't be enough to score a goal, but stealing yet more seconds away from SSG.
A more opportunity as Jirali attempts to get onto the platform.
Continues following it with a limited amount of boost.
And you bet your bottom dollar.
The killer sees the top right corner, completely unattended
and reckons he can slot the ball perfectly on.
Something I do want to point out on this play too,
is that being left on the back end and nothing in the tank
is such a rarity. Finally, Falcon's figured out what to do to slow SSG down in a way that
no other team has been able to do that is take the boost away and SSG has not been able
to find an answer to recover.
Yeah, it's looking so tough right now for SSG to even get charts half easy one now,
but yet again met up source by Falcons every infield pass being read.
Charter for the ball to a teammate has been blocked to source
The Balkans stumpy, easing themselves to a 3-0 lead in this series. Can anything go
SSG's way today? So far, it just looks like there may well be levels to this game and the
Balkans are on another one entirely. Final 10 seconds fixed down. It will not be enough.
The time is not there. Reveal will score. Oh, no, no. What's your favorite stack?
How long was that?
How long did they have like 4 seconds left?
4 seconds!
Let's see if there's more kickoff plays now.
I believe! Okay, I believe!
Come on SSG, give us something, give us a series.
Just one more Goldship Rivers.
No, Charlie Graves, hold on a few seconds.
So as you were saying, Hamster didn't even know that goal went in.
Yeah, that's that one done.
And it went in back to me.
Charlie adds one more to the stockpile.
Balkans they go three nil up in the series and it really cannot be
understated her how incredible this is from Jarlie if they can do it from this
position with four match points if he can win with six different teammates
back to back to back. Not only is Jarlie trying to make overall EWC history
This would be genuine rocket-meat history in the making.
This puts him at the forefront of the GOAT conversation.
This puts the twins at the forefront of EWC, you know, kings in the making, right?
These three players have not only collected accolade after accolade, right?
They are now looking to try and do it in a way that's never been done before.
ball hard and it would be truly incredible that they can do it as well. Not on the home
soil, they've done it once before at RLCS Major over in Boston. They've done it for
BP, the different team mate entirely, that this would be something different. Being
able to take down EWC in the Balkans and looking to write their name in this
history book and there is a lot of money on the line as well when you
look towards the club championship.
This gives you a healthy dose of points.
They sit near the top.
Can they get it done in four?
Will SSG have a response?
We really, really hope so.
For the sake of this series,
there's a lot of fans here who want to see Falkens win it,
but I know there's a lot of people watching on at home.
And not the American around the world.
Love to see tears reveal and that put a dent on the Falkens.
They've certainly got the ability to they have that belief.
And the belief at this point is going to be what is made for great for SSG.
It's going to be really hard as at one player and I just to get back and then
remove from the pitch. We're not seeing that much physicality out of SSG.
They are giving Falcons, I think a lot of grace on the ball.
They're being outspread a lot of the time.
Can they even catch up to them to get the demo in the quiet?
Yes, has the ball. He gets it to the side.
Turn it into a pinch, but he's dead.
He's a little bit loose and seem to run from SSG.
and these chances
make the perfect pass and that's what you have to do against Falkins, reveal.
So try and do it again.
Like if this is for killers, it goes well for Zack.
Zack, to leave this one to the angle to turn it into a pass,
it tries to get it into a 5% and gets something on the floor,
but once again, Falkins show so much patience when they can, they just wait.
This first minute goal with our instant so far,
but it's not necessarily been the immediate goal,
we've not seen the kick-up goals in this series so far,
and FSG, I believe with a team that have either had those sweeps go for them,
they have been swept. Yeah, it's very one of the other with this team. They're going to try to
run it back here, but the Falcons' defense is just one above the other. Even with the
fear of a net, these shots are wide, and that's just a testament to what's been going on throughout
the series. A huge save, that was from Falcons. Somehow they got themselves done. I'm not sure
which player it was, but one of them, for all the world, it seemed like we were about to
see a goal from SSG. A rare lead in this series from SSG. Might have been there first.
Darlene tries to put more nails in the coffin, can listen to the corner, Barass is there,
Falcons how long will it take them to get this chance? More opportunities really start to rise
they put Falcons as they will say yes as you have a lot of momentum and that was nowhere
the defender leaves the net and the Falcons strike again. Things can get a little bit
shiny if you're an SSG fan right now seeing them on the other end for so much time but
The Falcons still are leading this team as every game has gone on.
Just absolutely overshines them in their shooting percentage.
Justin Steele just trying to make up for it here in this match point game four.
Reveal, lovely attempt there to the flip-free set,
killers to as far as he can.
He has waiting for it.
Nice play there for Ron Diaz.
This is good from SSG.
This is what we need to see from them.
Reveal waits. Reveal actually uses that hesitation from Falcons for once,
and it was almost there.
Again, this pressure from SSG has led to nought so far.
Sack ties in from the blind spot, but in the end the Falcon's deep end certainly can't too much.
From us, who does he spot central?
Killers looks behind him as his close shadow.
Charlie, one up high in a little bit of space, that is not what SSG needs to be giving Falcons at the moment.
They earn a little bit of their own. One chance for a ground pinch instead.
Just a glimpse towards the orange side.
The RAS gets it as far as reveal. Every time SSG come forward, it always seems there's three Falcons there in front of them.
the full boost to block the comfort with ease.
Charlie, he's got full boost on the other end.
It's going to hit the post.
And Diaz can go and get to safety.
Reveals are already up against killers.
And it's at the touch of the ceiling.
Diaz there.
This is not quite happening for SSG.
And a hard...
That's so far.
It's in the end.
Suddenly they get one chance and they score.
That's so far has been their story as well.
Nothing quite going their way.
And again, that bounce.
And it's so perfectly.
And if there's one play you'd want to be seeing
coming your way with the ball on their hood.
It eats Charlie. 2-0 for Falcons of the 3-0 in the series.
Is it just written in the stars?
Procession is reaching its final destination.
SSG barely stand a chance.
Killers completes the job nearly.
That's free, and it is becoming a dark, dark night.
The Spacestation Gaming, another chance
where the net was left empty.
It was vacant and vacuous.
And at the space, their station has been found him.
And as the Falcons have two more minutes, there will be opportunities.
There has not been space station's issue.
They just have to print through the defence.
Looking like an impossible job right now as he has wants to get it done.
Here comes reveal, and even now!
Even now!
There was no boost left for Falcons, they countered!
Through us gets it forward, Charlie's in his way.
Now there is still chance here for space station to make something from this one.
And again, the final ball isn't there, the lead completely sucked.
It's just a shame in the end for us to see the killers was in the way reveal good height
Oh, it's fine to be asked in the way again
Johnny does the front reveal one chance for a save killers does end up taking it opportunity for last cardboard killers another
Devastating clear feels gonna have to wait here the bounces awkward just one more little moment going against a station game
It goes to the sides that Diaz waiting for it
It's to make it happen, it's to make it happen. Now it has revealed he shoots, but again!
The backport defending, there's no boost for Falkens, it doesn't matter!
Is there anything that can go SSG's way? Only 60 seconds left to countdown.
Any of these chances have to be taken and Falkens will not let them go easily.
Fail, booms it.
Has to be so much more because Riley's gonna boom it right back at ya.
Killers waiting for Zax Clearance, so instead he has to passively play it into his own
corner where Killis is awaiting to gobble it up. Who else does he get the spice of it nearly but reveal saves?
To tell you what, the defense for SSG has not been bad in this series necessarily.
Simply offensive Falcons has been absolutely something else.
Final 30, chance of the rip and reveal is shut down by Drolley again!
And that may well be it. With 25 left there's no chance now for SSG.
They've given it their all. The first North American team to make a grand finals in an international event this season.
But it looks like it was never going to be enough.
There's something about the Falcons today that they just seem different.
This was the team that was put together to win events like this.
This was the squad that was designed to dominate all of the Rocket League world.
And this is your eSports World Cup 2026 Champions!
Three separate EWCs on three different teams, but once again, the Falcons have managed to
do it.
Champions here in 2026.
It took bringing on the player that had defeated them so many times before to figure out
and what it takes to be on top.
Three different teams, three different chances.
Drali has taken them all and has elevated
Browas and Killes to a different level entirely.
Falcons fly high and it is remarkable to see.
You see that fans there, absolutely swamping the stager.
This is a turnout here from Saudi Arabia to see.
They fully believed in their falcons hero and they've been rewarded falcons hero winners
Congratulations to the Falcons flying
Over Paris with your wings wide open congratulations guys before the trophy
I'm gonna welcome you to the key crush all together with that massive win
Who is gonna do it?
Is it gonna be the back to back to back or is it gonna be the coach?
Breaking the last key pair as the SSG, key Falcons are just too good.
Club Championship points found it.
And another trophy.
It is the moment you guys, map it up to all of you, congratulations.
You're gonna go and let the trophy, make sure to put your key inside.

This is it! What a moment this is!
Ladies and gentlemen, your Rocket League and the Esports World Cup 2026 Champions!
It's for Cairns!
Congratulations. What an amazing time to celebrate all together. I wanted to ask you in English,
French and Arabic, whatever you want, this is the back to back to back for you on this
stage at the AWC. So can you tell me what it means to you to win this trophy three times
in a row with three different teams and especially with Falcons?
Why is it special for you to win this trophy?
Three times in a row with three different teams and this time here with Falcons?
It means a lot to me to have done such a thing and such a different tournament.
Honestly, I couldn't be happier about it, not just for myself, but also for my teammates and Falcons.
And yeah, Coach can explain how happy I am about this.
I think you can be very proud of yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we applaud?
Dralis, please!
One of Rocket League's legends!
So yeah, I'm extremely proud!
It's an enormous gift for me to win this trophy.
And with my teammates here,
it's hard to describe what it is,
but it's amazing.
Ian, you have some news.
Of course, you and your brothers are playing, there is chemistry between you.
What is the special thing that your brother can't give you?
I can't say thank you for the victory, the first one that broke our hearts for the whole year.
Thank God, we worked as players, but the year was difficult for us.
Thank God, the result came.
This is something that we can give to the people.
I hope to be very thankful for my brother, and I appreciate him the most, and he's pulled through.
We had such a hard year and this is what we want to give to our fans as well and we're
very thankful to God as well.
Of course, this is what we want to give to our fans and I'm extremely grateful to
have won this title with my brother talking about a brother.
Killers, I'm coming to you.
How did you manage to keep trusting the process?
Even though you missed the Paris Major, some people started doubting.
How did you keep trusting yourselves and your teammates to be back here at the
top of the Rocket League watch?
I had confidence. These are basically soldiers. When we didn't qualify for the military,
we were not able to get to the military. We were not able to get to the military.
We were not able to get to the military. We were not able to get to the military.
I had confidence. These are basically soldiers. When we didn't qualify to Paris, we practiced more and more.
And it is through the hands of these soldiers that we came here and I appreciate them.
When we didn't manage to qualify for Paris, we went back to the 5th round, we continued to work, work, work, and that's how we're back!
Okay, so Twisted Mind is the first crush key to go inside of the trophy here and you can see over at the totem right now
That is happening as we speak. What about the second key?
Give me gentle mates. Gentle mates. Why do you want gentle mates?
Because the virus last time we played them.
Good choice. Good choice. Revenge is sweet here. These spots welcome. That is two. So there's one more to go
Who is the final key?
KC. KC. Okay, any reason?
Well, I love them. Good choice, man. Thank you so much and congratulations once again, Lou.
The last one is Clique Cassé. He said, I love you, the Gentle Mate.
He also sold the Twisted Minds.
And is there a suspense for this, for the Sony MVP here at the STC Arena?
Revois into MVP!
Congratulations, Revois!
You are the MVP of Rocket League at the Esports World Cup 2020-26.
Let us, once again congratulations, I'm only saying this,
that how special is it for you to win this title representing your region
and as the best player representing your country, Saudi Arabia.
First of all, we say thank God, and then after that we thank our precious crowd and we will tell them that this is the least we can do for you and this is not going to be the end of our journey.
end of your journey. This is not going to be the end of your journey, it's crazy and
I'm looking forward to what's next.
It's not the end of our journey. It means a lot to me, but it's the minimum I could
do for an incredible audience. Rahuas, amazing, amazing job by the Falcons.
Yeah and it's not your end of the journey here yet either. Falcons, you need to make
your way to the totem for one last part of the ceremony and Falcons fans, follow
your team to the Turton. Your time has come gentlemen make your way off stage here and begin
your journey to the Turton and I want everyone here in Paris one more time because what a tournament
unstoppable lube. Let's make some noise one more time for our Rocket League at the eSports World Cup
20-26 champions, it's Falcons!
What a way to finish the job,
the Falcons setting SSG packing with the silver medal
as they lock in the lion's share of a million dollars.
And for that man closest to the camera, Trolley,
his third EWC trophy in a row.
This time he does it for MS Asari
and all the Falcons fans around the world.
We welcome in Johnny Boy achieves
and James bought to break down everything we witness.
I want to start with you Johnny Boy.
Just how big of a victory and how big of a statement
is it from Draleigh on the three P and that young man
walking away with the MVP.
Crazy.
To win three in a row with totally different lineups.
That's on hard off in Esports,
on hard off in Rocket League.
So congratulations to Draleigh,
proven everybody wrong.
I'm looking forward to see if you tweet something
about that later on.
You might have something tripped up for you guys
but the last inning deserves the MVP.
Kalyers has had a couple in the past.
I think Joralee has also.
So it's great to see Ruas getting the MVP
in such a star-slided balance lineup.
And James Mott, as we saw with this win,
they scored another 250 points.
That will put them at 4,400.
The top of the club championship rankings right now.
If they hold that, that is another $7 million paycheck
headed to the Falcons.
I'll keep it short and sweet.
This is why they brought in draw.
Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to your champions of Rocket League and the
World Cup 2026 team Spalchers!
Congratulations guys, on a massive win and an extremely convincing grand final.
Please take to the middle, show some love to your fans along the way.
What a performance, Stratfront team, Balkans.
Back to back.
One incredible close from the boys.
Guys, congratulations, congratulations.
Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in.
Give it here, boys.
Once again, you do it.
Please, take your frame, ascend the totem,
insert it into the totem for the second time!
Back to back champions, yeah! Getting sportswell cut!
Such a young, star-studded, talented roster, and we know this is not the end of the game.
the end achieves what will you remember from the Falcons? Fitty fence baby got to
love Fitty fence they held the Grand Finals like what two goals incredible
incredible run at EWC for Drolley his third for the twins their first for the
Super Team just beginning and everyone knows there's another world's in front
of them
James, as you look at the squad and think about their future, how do you get better
from here?
A clean sweep over SSG.
They didn't even put SSG in their trophy.
They chose all the other big dogs in the play.
I think, Chris, you just have to take a moment and appreciate what this means.
You don't even think about tomorrow at this point.
You are just thankful for today.
Team Falcons, they've fallen at the hands of Jirali.
Eastports World Cup before this, but this time they joined forces with Drolley and
finally claim that title and you can see what it means to the players and this
is a legacy match, a legacy tournament for Drolley and Team Falcons have been
given something that they will cherish forever.
Yeah, eight ball of the day as well and they just dominant on
drop Sunday against KC, C1 coming in from EU, SSG and A's number one C. Hulk is on a different
level today, me now on top and like you said, is that disrespectful? No, put in SSG in the
trophy maybe. I think SSG might take that personally. Well I think maybe the choices
were a bit personal. You know that Joralee has history with all of the trophies or all
the keys that he decided to crush and put in the base. Gentlemen on behalf of everyone
behind the scenes for everyone working on a camera lighting pressing the buttons. Thank you all for
tuning in to the Esports World Cup 2026. Congratulations to our champions of Rocket League,
Team Valkyries. We leave you with the FTC recap of the day and a brand new episode of the EWC
These pappas!
I
Hello, and welcome to the EWC Spotlight.
We're here to break down everything that you have seen so far.
I'm Ovali, and joining me on the couch today are two people who have way better hair game
than me.
Glitter Explosion and Jorbey.
Just how do you get your hair so perfect in the morning?
I wake up like this.
Get him off the couch.
Get him off the couch.
You don't want him here anymore, Glitter.
This is hours of work, a full team of people.
This is not natural for me.
Think about how much money I saved by not having to do anything.
It's amazing.
Wow, who invited him?
I don't know.
You haven't worked with him the entire two months so far, and this is what we get?
This is why they only brought me here for Rocket League.
I don't think you guys could survive.
Yeah, not at all.
Well, actually, there were quite a few teams who could not survive today against
our final winners.
Let's talk about what we just saw over at the STC Arena in Rocket League.
Oh my goodness.
First of all, Falcons, welcome back.
All right, Drowley is just absolutely insane.
So like, here's the thing, Falcons, back in Paris,
we were in Paris for the RLCS major a couple of months ago.
Falcons weren't even here.
They didn't even qualify.
And like, Drowley had joined the team earlier this year.
Everyone was thinking like,
what's really going on with this Falcons team?
Are they gonna get back to that status
where they're making grand finals, they're competing?
And then they've come to this event
and Drowley apparently just owns EWC.
He's won the last three of them
with three different rosters.
First with BDS, then with K-Corp last year.
He leaves K-Corp in 2026,
and the first time he plays his old team
was in the semifinals today.
And wow, absolutely clobbered them for nothing.
The fact that Falcons went 8-0 today in series
and semis and the finals is insane,
even by their standards, like they were insane.
So would you say that it was all thanks to him
or is there anyone else on the team
who really deserves that extra praise?
Yeah, you have the twins, Roas and Killers.
They have been phenomenal.
Back when TRK was still on the team,
you know, they were able to win a couple of things
and also really place high consistently.
But TRK was a central part of their team.
So when he left, weren't really sure what was gonna happen,
but Drowley was already a world champion, an EWC champion.
So at the very least,
we thought it was gonna be a one-to-one transfer.
It took a little bit of time for them
to really start jelling it.
They're right back to it.
wins, their synergy is absolutely unmatched and rocketed, genuinely. They're insane.
Now when we look at their Grand Final opponent in SSG, do we really expect them to just kind
of roll over like this?
They had a more competitive game one than I thought they would have, but hey, space
stations, they made all three players make it to their first LAN Grand Final, and they
looked really good on the whole way here. They ended up sweeping KC in groups, and
Then they had a very tight series versus Ninjas and Pajamas today, went seven games, they
ended up winning that.
They had really good defense.
Diaz, Brazilian joined the roster this year and has looked very good.
And I was very impressed by that.
I thought they could give Falcons a little bit of a flight and take a game.
I was familiar with Falcons game.
I just wasn't giving them enough respect.
Yeah, I mean, hey, definitely a deserved win for that entire squad.
Glitter we got to go winner winner chicken dinner all right over at the Katya City grid pub g mobile
Just crown their winner we have and honestly it was kind of a crazy day at the end of it all
It was s2g who won but the path they took to get there was a little bit longer than I think what they maybe would have liked
So this is what happened, okay?
Obviously when it comes to pub g mobile the teams need to hit the smash point threshold and then they need to win
and after they've hit that point threshold,
according to this match rule,
in order to get the entire championship, right?
Well, after match one,
we already had teams hitting the threshold.
We go to match two, we're like,
it could end in two.
Is this gonna happen?
That would be insane because we had E-Arena
and Nunchin Red Force.
Who needs to do that?
It didn't happen in match two.
Didn't happen in match three.
Didn't happen in match four.
It went to full six.
No one was able to actually convert according to the Smash rule.
So at the end of it, because S2G was just so consistent in the entire series,
they had the most points, they take it home.
I mean, it was a really, really strong lobby.
It was back and forth with a lot of these teams.
We even had Aurora up there by the end of it,
quite a few teams had qualified and were eligible for the Smash rule.
It was just the lobby, I feel like, was almost too strong at the top.
Was the community going crazy over trying to see if we could end in two games
and yet go in the full six?
absolute panic for even in the green room like for the talent like everyone's like this gotta be a trillion
Then it wasn't and then it's gotta be it. No, okay. You can keep track
It's impossible at that point. It's like surely this is where they take a little bit of drama
Of course, but hey all of that drama is important because at the end of the day
It translates into those very important club championship points and glitter
We've been going back and forth the entire time. We're like a GA. Hell. They're at the top of the leaderboard
Oh, this is so nice.
But take a look at the club championship rankings
as they are right now and look who's back on top.
You know, we knew Falcons were going to be a threat
when it came to Rocket League
and that this was going to be the opportunity for them
to leapfrog in reverse to AGL after AGL
had jumped to the top.
Now 300 points behind Falcons, AGLR.
They've got three more titles left in the upcoming week.
Falcons have four, so it's not going to get any
easier from here and then you know that this discussion starts are we getting a
three-time club championship winner it's kind of crazy to me that it's ending up
this way because leading up to this like good vitality and twisted minds were
kind of in position to jump both of them have really strong rocket league
teams they thought maybe that could actually put them in position in
falcons one of a lot of competition for that number one spot yeah here we are
falcons I mean they just have so many good teams I was so sad about
vitality I thought I thought maybe they could do it yeah I thought so too but
They're cursed against Carmencorp, so they were doomed in the quarterfinals.
RIP, RIP, but as you said it, we still have one final week to go for the EWC and the week seven games that we've got, we have Crossfire, Fortnite, Trackmania, and Counter-Strike.
I know that so many people are excited to see that Counter-Strike grand final match up essentially go for all of the people who are participating.
But what game are you most excited for?
I too am excited for some CS, but I'm looking forward to Fortnite.
Yes girl, I think it's going to be really fun.
And honestly, that is one of the titles where AGL could actually win the whole thing,
which would be a massive point win for them.
Huge, huge. Any favorites for you?
Honestly, Fortnite 2's is actually more fun than I realized before.
I started following it recently and it's actually a lot of fun.
But, you know, this isn't because I commentate a car game,
but I actually really like watching Trackmania,
because the stuff they do in Trackmania
is absolutely insane.
So I know that seems a little tight cast.
I promise I don't only like car games.
I'm glad you said that because that was gonna be
my follow up question.
Yeah, I was ready for it.
I could like see it.
Right?
I was braining it too.
Yeah, I saw the eyebrow kind of twitch a little bit.
I'm like, no.
A little bit.
Not only cars, I promise.
Huh, huh.
But yeah, no, I mean, just in terms of all of the games,
Fortnite is always gonna be fun to watch,
but I myself haven't really seen too much Trackmania.
So I kind of want to see, what's it like to watch?
I mean, Trackmania is kind of like, you know, it's very precise.
You have to be extremely accurate.
It's, you have to hit your jumps correctly.
You kind of have like everything is just extremely precise.
So it's very similar to Rocket League in that way.
Well, the Rocket League is kind of like a very arcadey version of that.
And you get much more fluid control.
So Trackmania is just fun to watch because it's kind of like, what do I say?
You know how like you would watch those little like maze screen savers?
Like back in the day, that's like what watch the Fars are like.
I just get locked into like flow state watching the cars like flying around stuff. It's great
We're gonna have some people in chat be like screen saver. What's that?
It's the great year 2026 we don't have those
All right, but oh my gosh, I do want to talk a little bit about fan fest because I don't know have you seen the
Sony
Manga booth where it's like all of the interactive one piece in exhibit
Yes, and did I already go get the sticker of myself and yes, I did I have a sticker of yourself
Well, you can go get yourself as a wanted poster. Oh, what was your bounty? I don't think it was very high
I think I was only 3.2 mil. I'm not gonna lie
You say that's not hot
36 mil. Okay. Yeah, that's only 10% of your of yeah, no, sorry. I got 2.9 and I was about to flex
I was like
and I'm like, all right, I put my sticker up on the wall
for anyone who wants to go find it.
Just look for the person holding
the pirate looking microphone.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
But if you have not gone to that food yet.
I gotta get it.
I gotta see how much I'm worth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, this does bring us to the end of week six.
Only one more week to go in the EWC
before I let you go, Jorvi.
Anything else you wanna say?
I mean, first of all, thanks for having me.
It was great to be on the couch.
Great to work with both of you for the first time.
And I'm excited to watch some counter strike as well.
So it's gonna be fun watching this last week at EWC.
Absolutely, and glitter anything for you girl.
I'm ready to dive into the last week.
I hope you're excited.
It's gonna be a great way to close the entire summer out.
I know I am so excited.
We're gonna have so many amazing final matches
and of course, all of these tournaments across the board.
But that was it for this EWC spotlight.
