I
And we're waiting to kick off playoffs!
Oh boy!
First touch, three-showers live!
Gazzard, Stevens, Joey, CJ, CJ!
He's got it! He's got it!
He's got it!
What's up, ladies and gentlemen?
What is up, ladies and gentlemen?
Is he speaking?
Is he speaking?
Oh, God, he really needs it!
What's up, ladies and gentlemen?
What's up, guys?
What's up, ladies and gentlemen?
Listen, like I said, the crowd is here, and they're loud.
like to play off Friday.
How did we get here?
Let's go to the season overview again.
It was a long world to get to this point.
Playing matches, majors, kickoff weekends,
open left, right and center,
but we're here at the World Championship.
The crowd is here at Dickey's Arena CJ.
I'm an incredible season so far at Dickey's Arena.
I feel like this place is about to line up JV.
The crowd is here, they're ready to go, they're pumped.
Yeah, were you speaking during the intro?
Did you miss your cue?
I tried.
I didn't hear a word.
I absolutely tried to.
Give me the summary, what did you say?
Hello?
These guys are great.
That's it.
The summary was there.
But of course, we're here at the World Championship.
And teams have already been eliminated from the group
stage.
We have our contenders graph show who's still in
and who's still left as the playoffs continue on.
Like we said, we're going to see teams grade out as a base.
You look at it.
And they still look.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I see five.
I don't know how this is happening. I don't know how this is happening.
You got rebellion being pedal.
I'm going to stop.
Ridiculous. NA on top. They've come in.
EU had six teams. I've only got five, but NA, JP, it's your worst nightmare.
No, that doesn't even do it justice, because it's not only that they're all still in,
but three of them are in an upper bracket as well.
The only place where teams have won in this format, so NA's on top.
Yeah, he said NA's on top. Johnny Boy said NA's on top.
Oh my god, look at that.
Clip it!
I, I, if, if anything's on top, I'll tell you anything's on top.
Oh, oh, almost down right now!
What a face! What a face!
Man, oh man, it has been quite the, the brute stage.
I mean, CJ, what's been the most shocking thing that's happened in tournament so far?
Probably foot and VP?
In the upper bracket, he could have been taking out those groups.
I had some tough draws as well.
VP beating general mates and also taking out vitality baits. You can't tell me you've got VP players and your top 25 list coming up
I do I sure do have VP players my top 25. My top 25 is great. Great. I don't worry about that
I'm thinking it's all the time tournament to happen.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Oh goodness gracious.
Listen, we're really close to getting to that top 25. Wait, okay real quick. I want to test the crowd.
Test the amount. Let's see what it got.
If you think CJ CJ has the best list make some noise.
That's what they're rooting for.
That's what they're rooting for, huh?
What's the temperature in the room?
The temperature in the room.
It's pretty icy for me, I'll tell you that.
They give me nothing over it.
All right.
N.R.G. fans, can I hear you?
Woo!
I want to ask.
We got any carmen corp fans?
Carmen corp, make some noise!
Woo!
Woo!
Blue, blue, wow, blue.
What about some SSG, the SSG fans in the house?
Anime, come here CJ.
Anime, we're gonna shove a fireball and fans in the building.
Yeah, that's all we like to hear.
He's got some love.
Some love here for you CJ.
There's a little bit, there's a little bit.
Johnny Boy, the EU performance at this point,
what do you contribute to that year?
I wouldn't say it's down to anything in particular, but I'm particularly shocked by NIC.
I can't believe they're just out, yet they were still one game away from making it.
They've had a bizarre tournament.
I still can't believe that they've been eliminated the way they have.
But as for the other teams, I mean, there's not been anything super surprising
outside of VP beating Vitality and Gentleman for Vitality.
Gentleman, they can be shaky.
So, yeah, KC for me, they say it, but they still look like the best team.
Does this remind you of something, though, this entire setup?
We've got three North Americans the upper bracket one European side season seven world championships three North American teams
It was NA two three and four coming through we had EU one as the only other side. It was vitality
They won the whole thing KC at EU one during the upper bracket
I don't want to be that person you know and they's on top of the moment, but Casey could just just win out from it
We're not ready. We're not ready yet. No, okay. Well, okay. Well, we gotta get you give me 60 seconds
Yeah, we do that. Okay
It's not like the online at home base
I know you're ready to go everybody we're ready to go and to get things started, but I think looking at this now, of course
Based on
What we've seen in this tournament. Do you feel like we'll have four is it four in 18s in the top four or three in 18s in top
forward for
All in a grand final for the first time ever at all says world championship
No
No
I believe so. Yeah, I think KC, but I mean
It could be hard for a kissy.
They've been making, it's yours, we're making tough fours.
Top two would already be our best worlds for them.
It would feel like a win, but it's not a win.
Casey have thousands on that side of the bracket as well
if they do win out today.
So, yeah, of course guys, the World Championship home
to a lot of international competition,
but it's not the only international event that's happening.
FIFA E will also be going on
and to figure out where the groups are,
we have Cole and Stumpy standing by here
for the group draw.
Okay, our first team is...
Here we go.
Oh, USA!
Our first top seed who is drawn.
And USA is gonna be going into our group
to see it right behind us.
Momentarily, isn't it?
We'll be back.
Different little teams there for you.
At some point, at some point.
So over in the group,
of course, Saudi Arabia is already seeded in.
They're the host nation,
and USA heads over to group B.
Now, our other contending team is going to be...
Why is it like Plyce on the face?
Yeah, they're like nitrogen on the face.
What possible are you to the basket?
Chuck it.
We have got...
Australia!
Ah, CJ watching on there in his rebellion top.
There's Aussie boys, they're going to be drawn.
If it's Australians.
And they go up against Saudi Arabia in group A,
so that is not simple for them.
Team number three, three left.
Yeah, from this spot, of course.
still fancy more in there. Another top team Australia is going to be Brazil who are running
one at the moment with Sharia. Very, very well. They're fantastic for them in the 2v2. Yes. They
looked incredible. They did. They put in a good fight. Didn't they? Yeah, they looked great.
And they obviously they went up against the USA with Zach and reveal. So very cool with the 2v2
I'm going to go to the final
team. The top seas. Everything
is upside down, but I'll turn
it around because that's what
they deserve. It's Germany who
recently won in Europe as well
in the continental championship.
What I don't remember the
finals. No, I don't know how
they were up against. Well,
you're up against a team that
was in this group here who
aren't in this. Yeah, they
could be England in the
finals. It was a tough time.
Didn't love that, but well
done Germany. So far very,
very strong from all of the
teams that we have drawn.
We got three on each side.
In group A and group B USA Brazil and Germany very very tough to groups so far. Let's get going give me good. Thanks. Give me good
Sir, oh wait, let's get some ASMR
That's really really bad for a bit of home. I'm really sorry production is living you right now. No
Hey, we've got first
Dear team is going to be I'll move that it's gonna be
and the next one we're going to
see. She lay, she lay makes it
through a South American team
that I believe has been pretty
good. They had an over in the
South American. Pretty good.
Not easy. Pretty qualified from
and then they were. Okay, next
up bit of a small nine. Can't
do it every time. No. Yeah,
that's all you get. So there
you go. So you get next up
miss pot is going to be. Can
I give you these next time?
Huge upset. Canada, I believe in the way in North America.
Should I say they go into group A and they went up close to the USA as well.
I believe very, very close shot.
And now I'm going to be heading into group A.
So the USA, you escaped unscathed.
And for directly, yes, time.
Next draw will be the mighty, mighty.
Oh, man. Oh, man.
That is a scary team.
Very clever.
Very good. The first best to element that puns.
Yes!
Yep, they qualified from the Asian Continental Championship.
Played very well in it.
Plus a few upsets along the way as well.
Good for them.
So, I'll go for this one in the middle.
I won't care.
Big E is such an exciting tournament in general.
I like very fun. It's very fun.
They set up one for the map.
Always loved. Always loved.
Draws are possible.
Next up is the Netherlands.
They're not well.
Any draws?
No.
No, they will not.
They're going to want to try and fight through.
They're a tough team for England to face off against.
the last time we were over in
Portugal in Lisbon. Um it was
very hard for us to go up
against Netherlands. Obviously
England still somewhere in here.
That's what I'm pulling forward.
That's what everyone's waiting for.
Everyone's waiting for England. Of course. I've got the most context
for a little bit. All right. Next team will be this will be
England. By the way, yeah, this will be
England. This one is. Italy. We
love Italy as well. That unique
They look at the best team in Europe. They didn't win it out in the end, but in the first day over there, they certainly were.
Fantastic. One of the top teams. The best teams in this spot, I would say.
Yeah, very, very impressed with Italy overall. One of those nations that I think has always been very high up in Rocket League, but they go through their spurts of being up and down.
Czechia, who caused a huge upset in Europe. They knocked France down, so although in bracket you may remember, to qualify, unexpectedly, can they build upon that as we go forward?
I remember it as very excited in the arena as well when that happened.
Yes, basically they got everybody on their side because France are the big baddies
Exciting to see something a little bit different so France did not get that job the groups are really taking shape now
Four left to draw the final seeds
We have got coming up next will be
Will be
Jordan
Jordan qualified from Asia. They knocked out Malaysia en route as well
They knocked out the hosts of the Contest Championship in Asia and they will go into group B alongside Czechia as well
So they look a bit stronger for me for my liking so far. Let's see if that changes to be spinal three balls. I think
This one okay
Gonna be the size of
Okay
Looking for some of biggest teams and then one of them the reigning champions France
against France. They are
drawn next. You do not want
them in your group. You
absolutely don't want to be
facing off against France.
Obviously they're playing with
potentially a slightly different
team that they may will be
fielding in the actual finals
when we head over to Saudi
Arabia yet again. They have
gone into group a which I
think now is very strong with
Saudi Arabia and France to
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Final two. The England stood in
here somewhere. Yeah, and
sense England since 123.
Let me will hit the let's see.
Take it out there. We have got.
South Africa. South Africa who
broke English hearts in the
first year in 2024 looking out
I want everybody in chat to predict which team this is. I really hope it is now. To predict which team this will be our final one in the drawing FIFA E 2026. It's the one that he is looking forward to. It's England England who are the fantastic showing at the finals most recently at the
got to the finals, Germany ended up taking them down and ultimately I would say as an English fan
did not do as well at the Fevery finals last year by being knocked out by Brazil.
So our final groups are completely filled out. We've got group A, Saudi Arabia, Australia,
Morocco, Chile, Puerto Rico, Italy, France and England and group B we've got USA, Brazil, Germany,
Oman, Netherlands, Czechia, Jordan and South Africa. Let us know in the chat which of those groups you think is bigger and better and scarier.
But for now, our time is done.
Back to the cocktails.
It's first touch time.
I like it.
Back in the corner, power cores.
Johnny, groups from FIFA E.
One of those groups feels a little off-sided, don't you think?
Yeah, I thought, Group A, you were shaping up to be the tough one,
but at the end, Group A got a little bit tougher,
although, you know, a bit of a free win at the end of England,
so they've got something for us to...
Group A absolutely stacked four, Australia.
You know Morocco in their Saudi feel France even Italy look fantastic. She lays in there the bulls in there
There's up to school or that's tough at USA. I mean, it's just free to do a big surely baits
The genuine question should they go they didn't the first year
Listen
They might want to relax but we're gonna get put in the hide seat here. It's time for our top 25 players list between all four
But the first thing I hear behind me is oh, okay. Here we go Johnny. He explained the top 25 for us, please
Yeah, you guys know what I thought 25 is
So we did this before the main event started we did this before the show in witness there we put in ourselves 25s
They've been aging a certain way
probably age worse than others and yeah we're just gonna reveal it a little bit
differently than usual we're gonna go a little bit more back and forth but let's
just get right into it I think I think people know what's happening here we go
17 through 24 here so 24 at the bottom of the top is our 17 and okay how are we
feeling about the years
quite CNRG having the best performance so far in the upper bracket looser a
billion and still made the upper bracket okay whatever whatever you say but I don't
I don't know. It's on McThere, squeeze the LJ in of course, reveals that got some SSG boys as well.
What else we got around the board?
Wait, wait, wait, what is...
Binks! What is Justin doing?
All of me down there, what's Justin doing?
Justin's not on your list!
Justin's not on your list!
Why is Justin on your list?
Justin is not on your list!
We don't wanna see.
I think Justin right there is a good guy!
Justin is on your list!
Justin is on your list!
Justin is on your list!
I guess you'll see.
I guess you'll see.
Oh, he's on my list.
He might be on my list.
He might be.
Justin DeLos.
I remember.
Oh!
Where's that B-N-O-G going?
I knocked right.
I knocked right.
Actually, I couldn't squeeze Basemode on there either.
So I just kept calling.
No, Basemode.
No, Basemode.
You're lying.
I thought the stocks were down.
You're lying.
Why would they volunteer that information?
Yeah, you're lying.
You're lying.
Okay.
That's a tough stop on me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I saw a lot of NIP plays as well.
I had Jorrius in there at the early union.
Hey, hey, hands up, ICR, I'm Jorrius.
NIP, and he has one.
Did anyone expect that?
Well, that's a bad stuff, though.
I mean, that's not for you.
For God, I don't have none of them.
No, Justin, the 22 is not looking good.
Justin is easily a top five player.
Aggie is the best so far.
He's the best player in the team in year nine.
In year nine.
I mean, this is just called proud panerica, guys.
He doesn't have Justin on his list!
Remember that.
I think he dropped Justin on the list.
I like him.
He's taking the attention note for the 24-17.
I'm actually happy with my start, to be honest, Daz.
You got away with everything.
Any ones you didn't really like or...
Oh, don't get happy, get happy.
I don't mind my too much.
I think he's pretty much all part yellow.
I'm gonna see Daz.
Wait, come on, look at Daz.
I'm not letting me get away with anything.
Great, everybody, hornin' on Daz.
What do we dislike about this?
Okay, he's a beast right in there.
Well, you have beast mode kind of low.
I don't think it's that low.
You know, he's kind of, well, what's that, top 20?
He's kind of playing top 20 is his name.
That's all he's been doing.
He's never had any spikes.
That's the problem.
I respect the game.
I think you know, some fury.
I didn't expect endurance to be doing that well.
Right.
I might have to have the only three player in here.
I think you're probably winning.
Wait, you got talk.
You got talk.
You got talk too low, Johnny.
Talk that much?
You think so?
How do you feel about talk?
No, right now, I agree.
I got talked too low. I'll be honest. I got talked too low
You know I put him in there. Okay. I'm in I thought that they were gonna do something in that group
I was expecting their best line yet, but I'll be honest
To get a whole lot worse, let's take a look at our next category. We're gonna reveal these two at a time
So this is our night through 16
Oh, it is all these two at a time. Oh, all right.
Say why is then on this slide?
Then on the second slide is ridiculous. Oh, yeah, you're done, buddy.
I'm not done. So for that. Also, y'all gotta remember, you gotta remember, this is also when we rank
for your rank people, when you rank people, this is a prediction stream now. So, of course,
the players who are on here, if I'm missing some names, that means that I really expect their
team and also themselves to play a little bit better so we got really look at my
list and totality so that's why we guys in there is really a trolley there
seeing a lot of mean as a lot of just he's just saying words he's saying
words he's saying totality and stuff like that I don't know Zen is saying no
for everybody I mean even if vitality fall might you know Zen is gonna be
talking about lose today yeah but he's still be taught by you know he was
still be tough on hey Bates I was a little nervous coming into doing these
list but as the saying goes there's always someone worse off because you just have to be patient
because what can't go wrong will go wrong so that was that was then at 10
it's probably gonna look terrible i'll be honest this gonna like i actually can't remember how bad
this is gonna be. Um, let's take a look.
You got, oh man, y'all got monkey moon up here, really?
Wait, who I got down there at the bottom?
Is that a Justin?
Oh, you know Justin.
Wait, you know Justin.
It's not a Justin.
Oh, it's double Justin.
It's double Justin.
It's a Justin today.
Wait, wait, wait.
It's double Justin.
No way, no way.
No way.
We all got Justin.
Monkey moon.
How do I ask why they felt about monkey moon?
How do you feel about monkey moon, Dickies Arena?
I mean, he owns this place.
You gotta put monkey moon up there, surely.
I'm pretty happy with those base players, I'm really happy to see our R&D out of the group.
Justin at 22 has got to be my worst 6th player.
He's got a Tomik at 23, but a Tomik at 23.
But Justin has been better than a Tomik so far, I agree with this.
I can't agree to that, I can't agree.
I think if there's three even, I'm not going to lie, I can tell him to play really
well.
Justin is both like top 3.
We'll find out tomorrow too.
We'll find out tomorrow too, head to head.
That'll be scary, that'll be scary.
I mean, the list so far, they're looking for a team
based on what is standing out the most.
We've seen some jobs, everybody got Justin here.
They're overrated behind you.
They're overrated.
I do want it to be known that it doesn't show on this graphic,
but my list is a rainbow.
I know a lot of people are very curious about it.
Rainbow, so more points for me.
I love you guys.
Should have been color coded back.
Well, let's see if you know how to really place the crowd, though.
OK.
Let's see if you find out.
OK.
It's time for the 1-3.
2-3.
2-3.
OK.
Yeah.
Do it.
Do it.
Let's try to pull up some of these 2-3's.
We can kind of go around the table.
Yeah, we can take our time with it, too.
I want to feel like you're playing a game.
OK.
We're going one by one.
OK.
You know what?
Let's bring me up first.
I feel like I've been getting away with everything.
I might be able to get away with more.
I mean, I just feel like it's not arguable.
Atomic at 3.
Atomic at 3.
What's wrong with that?
So he's not blundering on Neo-Tokyo this time.
He's not blundering it.
No, no blunders.
He's not blundering it.
Who's that one?
They're yelling wavy at one.
Wavy at one?
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't wavy at one.
I don't know if they go wavy at this.
Wavy at one.
And I thought I'd get one.
I don't know they're going to.
Wait, who's your one?
We go look at today, right?
Look at today.
Wait, can anyone have VP players other than T.O.?
No.
Yeah, and no, wait, I might have wavy.
You might. You might not have wavy.
You don't have wavy.
He's better to the grass. He's better to the grass.
I might have two-piece too.
No, you don't. There's no way.
There's no way?
All the top eight might all be enablers.
I mean, that's true.
They're not all enablers.
Do you have chronic genes?
Oh! Monkey-moon at two for this!
We got the best of the best!
Oh my goodness!
Hey, you got the best of the best!
You got the best player in our team!
Potentially all the top five!
Yeah? How does that mean?
Well, we know what that means.
Another puzzle from T-Bates.
I like to be at wrong.
I mean, it could be Bernardo head.
It could be anyone.
It could be Wagey.
Hey, monkey-boot of Tuba, you kind of slid away from that.
I went away. What's going on here?
I thought you were talking to Stan.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I want to see Monkey Moon.
You verse me.
You see that? You remember that photo I took?
That photo where I was really sad and like, sat there?
I didn't show it on my screen action.
Rip off your legs. I'll try to cry out.
So you try an exact bottle. You remember that photo?
I do. I do.
I remember the photo.
I need to see Monkey Moon in the Grand Finals again one more time.
Okay.
What are the story lines?
You need to see Lou.
Huh?
You need to see Lou in the Grand Finals.
I just need to see him. He can win.
Okay.
All right, let's jump in.
We got about 10 more minutes here.
What do we have next?
It's CJ, is it?
It's CJ!
Ah, yeah, I'm not liking it!
I'm not liking it!
Wait, there's no Enablers!
No Enablers!
No Enablers!
Yo, pull this man!
I didn't foresee a North American dominance!
I did not foresee this foot VP. Where did they come from? Where did they come from?
Back in in the form lines, you know, you're a dominated me to dominated Charlie
I'ma bear this for you.
I expect that out of him.
I just couldn't say that.
I would never do that.
You know me.
Can we put Johnny's up alongside mine
just to check
if we might have the same situation here?
We got Iron Age.
First killer!
He's got one.
What about first killer though?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Everybody looks way behind us.
It feels like Johnny knew that we were revealing
two to 80, but one North American
just to avoid the boon.
He just slid away.
We got in there.
He's been the best player in any all year.
I think he's still looking absolutely fantastic.
A little bit of a slip up against my city,
but I still got first killer.
It's the number one in North America.
They knocked America.
Where did we go wrong?
I'd say as soon as troops started.
I think the event might be wrong.
I think we might have to do the event again.
Like rerun Bruce H. in case it was a fluke.
I think we should run it again when you get a Fury F3O NIP round one.
That hurt.
And then VP just beat all the European teams.
Who would have thought a group would gentle makes it vitality?
You'd have Virtus Pro on top.
I
Want a great event for North America
Okay, the time to take you to the one.
A warrior at it.
And warrior at it tomorrow.
And it's time to start off the one.
Can we select an order or is it going to have to be you first?
I kind of want to go last me personally.
I don't.
What?
It's a whole order.
It's a whole order, I guess.
And to put me on the chopping block.
Where you going?
Give it up, Kevin!
Give it up!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
This is home!
He lives here!
He's just got an expected base!
Get him out!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Thank you so much.
You don't need it. You don't need it no more. You're done. You're done.
Unbelievable. Hey! No, you're done. I can't believe it.
Wow, you see this side photo? You see this photo right here?
Can I show you the screen of this photo? Here, look at this photo, man.
You see this photo? This is the sadness right here.
This is the last time I think it's freedom. But it won't happen this time, though.
It won't happen this time. Give me my list.
All of them.
That's all of them.
Thank you.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
Definitely.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yes!
If you need to take your freedom.
I'll give you the mic faster now.
Wait, simple.
Don't be nice.
I like the confidence too, what do you have?
Despite you doing this every single time, I like the confidence too, despite me having
Despite having no North Americans,
to the weight, there might be one North American.
This stands above the rest.
Give me my list.
And it's gonna be first killer!
The greatest, the greatest North American,
the greatest North American player of all time.
And he's gonna lift that strength up to USA!
What do you gotta do? What do you gotta do?
I might have an NA player up there. Let's see
Of course I thought you were gonna be a matchup.
Don't forget. I thought he was a world champ.
He might be a world champ at two game modes by the time this is done.
He's gonna be in one today.
Are you a best player?
Probably gonna be a world champ today again.
Okay, that's one. I'm talking about 3v3.
I think they can make the run.
They got Monkey Moon. He's dashed, slamming.
They've got your TRK.
His wrist is healing as we speak.
It's good to see that sort of North Americans...
It's good to see that...
Everybody's brawned.
Actually, that guy, this guy's brawned.
Monkey Moon at one?
Probably talking about Monkey Moon at one.
So you got Monkey Moon playing
Three World Championships here in Dixieland.
Yeah, absolutely.
Actually, wait, he has the capability
at any player in his tournament to do it.
The only team that can stop him,
I really think is the team in the blue.
Don't take my mic again!
I'm sorry!
So you've got Swisted Mind's grand final.
I just might.
Swisted Mind's grand final.
Yeah, I got Swisted Mind's grand final.
Who did you predict to win the tournament?
Which team?
I might have had Swisted Mind's coming in.
We've been amazingly swayed to rebellion because first killer's gonna dominate, baby.
FK! FK!
That's what people are telling me I'm hoping today for.
I mean, I don't mind you. I got... I want an NRG Twisted Mind final too.
I want an NRG Twisted Mind. Do that for us, mate.
I'm gonna go to the monkey booth one more time.
One more time with Dickens Arena. Make him in for last time.
You know what's he about. Something that you can see is maybe you have the best list this time.
I have the best list this time? I think so too.
I think I have the best list as well.
Yeah Justin, it's way too, now forget about it.
Justin, it's way too ridiculous.
And only one in a player.
How do you feel tomorrow?
I mean listen, we're feeling good.
We're almost ready here for kickoff.
Uh, basically it feels like the Diggies are in a crowd
like SureList the best.
Oh, they're definitely like my list the best.
I got Daniel, Beast, Monay, and Tom McGall, top five on Reef.
Yeah!
That's just what we do out here.
Last time I had them on top five, by the way, they won the link.
I had to bring it out one more time.
Just one more time.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Exactly, that's how great it is.
I know one at Bustledark.
Listen, this crowd is fantastic. They're ready to go.
They're hot shot.
But listen, don't cast the check just yet.
Okay.
Because again, there's still so much rockin' to play.
Oh, goodness gracious. Is that a common corp fan in the back?
No.
Leave them alone, okay, leave them alone.
But of course, these are our list.
I mean, can we get finals off before we get ready to kick off?
I mean, incredible.
Clearly, we weren't expecting North America to be so dominant as well.
VP looking fantastic.
Justin looking fantastic.
Let's hit the ball, Robert, for him.
Come on, Robert.
Yeah, well, we'll have to wait for that.
I mean, VP, they got a day off.
Energy got a day off because they won their group.
So we'll find out tomorrow how they go about SSG and SR in the lords.
I would not be surprised if we finish a day with all five NA teams still in the tournament.
And I, unlike you, I'm not pandering. I mean that.
I mean, I mean it too. I didn't think I'd bother to make it here, but listen, it's there, but all in all, so I wouldn't, I wouldn't surprise me if they did.
I mean, I was really excited for today, man. Really excited for all of y'all. Have a great time here in Diggins Arena.
Very excited for the energy that they've brought to us.
Diggins Arena!
Diggins Arena, we won it!
USA! USA! USA! USA!
It's time to kick off play on Friday, let's send him to the arena!
Yeah!
The world champion, the elusive title, sought by so many,
yet held only by an elite few.
The best players in the world have assembled once again,
and for the first time, they will
compete for three different trophies.
The Grand Prize is a symbol of Rocket League immortality.
And to anyone who thinks they're worthy of blaming it.
Well, just come and get it.
In your way, a field full of champions.
Players who are just as hungry to put their name
in the rafters of champions' fields.
Some for the first time,
and others chasing the ghost of Rocket League's past.
and to escape their shadows once and for all.
Every team has their eyes set on the trophy.
But just remember who's house this is.
Welcome back to Dickie's Arena.
And welcome to the Rocket League World Championship.
down. Rocket League fans around the world. Get up and get loud. It's game day and welcome
back to Dickies Arena. Three days ago, 20 of the best Rockley teams ever to grace God's
greener. It's decided upon this building. 12 remain in the hunt for the title of Rocket
League World Champion. And we will narrow that down to eight by the end of today.
Oh man, in North America, looking the open era has always won at least one RLCS major.
It didn't happen through this year.
They're saving the best for the last right now.
We got all five North American teams still alive.
Yeah, and they are doing so well.
Even Johnny Boy had to admit it and let that soak in.
It's an incredible day.
And if you're picking right now to become
a fan of Rocket League Esports, you
picked a great time here, the beginning of the playoffs
of the 2026 Rocket League World Championship.
We started all the way back in November.
We played through Opens.
We went to Copenhagen.
We went to Boston.
We went to Paris.
We had two V2 qualifiers for the first time ever.
Thousands of players tried to be here to play in the 2v2 championship only four remain in the hunt for that title
The one view ones is down to two here are the 12 teams still in the hunt
Jorbey for the 3d3 title of world champion. That's right. I don't think we're really surprised by other teams that are still involved
I just think we're all surprised about where they are still involved in the playoff bracket
I am excited for it if you're at any in a team
I would have thought space station would have been in that upper bracket
And they're the only one with rebellion down in the lowers
Yeah, but I'm surprised because your boy is 14 left North America still has five that is unprecedented
It's incredible if you pick just now to become a fan of rocket e-sports
That means you missed the action yesterday in the group stage in which we had some incredible moments go down
Particularly from these North American squads. Let's start talking about those boys from foot
You heard how highly they were ranking just in there on the free show the play he's had against curia here a huge part
He's been absolutely world-class
But needed a 3-1 to win the group and they did even better getting the 3-0
They are the number one offense in this tournament by far by over
0.44 goals better than every other team here
And we're talking about Justin being the best player on this team
2017 it's not 2019 season 8 when he won it with Kara Gina
We're 2026 and Justin is still performing like one of the best players in the world
It's hard to imagine that he had his world safety back in season 5 where he hit the world's most famous Rocket League shot
And he's still going. I think Justin really is such a major storyline for me
The fact that he has this long jetty the legacy that he's building
But you know top six is not going to be good enough
He wants more and that season 5 was over 3,000 days ago
And we will see Justin play on the final day in this
You said he wasn't deserving of the first touch come back player the year award because he had a good year last year
Is he is this is this a comeback now? Oh, I feel like the breakthrough MVP
He could be going to him. He's looked fantastic breaking through
3000 days after he put up on the scene how about it that time he got to see him here folks
That wasn't the only surprise though of the two teams from the bottom of North America
They're both on top is not just footy sports
It's also vertus pro taking on the gentle mates and winning their group and vertus throw again coming through the planes
Everyone considered them the worst North American team here, but they figured it out just in time
They're leaving by their defense point eight four goals against per game
That is point three four better than every other team here
And if you remember back to the beginning of the year that he was called for a deck they didn't have a sponsor
They were playing out of their mind. They look to be at times. He's asking the North America
They had great consistency once they picked up or were picked up by furnace broke. They pulled off big time
You talked about catching fire at the right time.
This is exactly when you want to do it.
It's exactly when it's happening for Verdi's growth.
From a backborder right to the front,
and they are cooking in this one.
Talk was great in the play-ins.
But you know who's mine?
Personal MVP on this team yesterday was Wavy.
Wavy has taken the step up.
You heard it in the crowd during the Concourse pre-show.
They're like, where is Wavy on these lists?
But Wavy has shown up in a big way.
And I think everybody's looking at him now.
And I absolutely love it, too,
because these guys have played three days in a row.
And normally these teams that are ranked at that 12-13 range,
they've won hot day and then they cool off.
Now it's been three red hot days, four VP,
and they come in, leaving their group.
The surprises throughout the group stage,
those were the two biggest ones.
A few others throughout it as well.
And if you want to see that coverage,
please go back and rewatch it.
We'll talk about it throughout the course of the day.
And of course in the next few months,
but these groups settling out with Carmecore
on the top, NRG winning group seed,
the ones who haven't shown you footage so far.
Big surprises throughout all of that Falcons have to be playing in the lower bracket.
Yeah, keep in mind energy as well. They won their group on goal differential as well.
They came down to every single goal scored, so everything matters in that group stage.
Well, folks, there was some spectacular games yesterday.
There was also some specifically spectacular moments in those games.
These are the progressive top plays from the second day of the group stage.
Jorby, what we got?
Yes, sir. Let's start with number seven. Well, we had 2v2 added to the RLCS World Championship,
championship and everyone wanted to watch these two send an at-toe
That's gonna set this one up. He has to get demo. He does not care about it
How's that the old double-double off the ceiling off the backboard into the net and they were just doing this all
Series long against space station. There was just no chance at that
Running into the respawn almost like he tried to plan that but you know he wanted to get that demo either way
He comes back to get the cold here. Look at that one more time
What a beautiful white game to the net, Nathan.
That was going to be a top place without some plays from foot.
And we're going to go to Justin again.
3,000 days ago, season five, he's still got it.
Look at this.
He's going to have all he'd never mind.
Going for the hook shot.
Top right corner.
He sees the space available and uses it.
He's like, I'm going to pull a little O'Callis 1v1 play here.
Just pop it up to myself and get that power
to the top right corner.
76 miles an hour.
But we have to talk about this play here.
LJ going for a pass on.
Look at the skim shot here.
Look at the speed of the skippers.
How does he get that much power to throw?
These days are so precise.
Precise pass, but the shooting even more.
So that one, sneaking by the defense.
Insane.
And now that number four we go to Man City.
It's a little bit of classic action.
One, two, two.
Waston comes there for 30, back to the line, and hits it to the top shell.
We don't get to see clean passing plays like this.
They have so much space, if you're going to give them the space, Akro says,
fine, I'm going to give it to my boy, entry.
I'm going to watch one more time to say go right up to Akro.
That was just a beautiful play from Matt Sading.
And let's go back to number three.
Let's go back to foot and the best offensive in this tournament.
And this time it is Karanik.
You see space in the corner?
He's going to use that available space.
The flip reset again.
Top right corner foot is loving that shot right now,
But he sees, he has tons of space available.
Even gets bumped just a tad bit, but still makes up for it.
But what is it with Zen and generational runs?
This guy is a beast right now.
In 2v2 they look unstoppable, and it's
plays like this, and it really does great wide.
Full field from his own corner, picks up the 100,
and that's enough to bring it all the way home.
Marie set the backflip shot.
SSG didn't have a chance.
Well, speaking of style, number one, Swift and Yan,
They work no slouches even though they couldn't take it against Falcons.
But watch what, again, with a little 360 catch,
what are you gonna do here?
Oh, yeah, and it's always good for a little bit of style.
He's always good for a little bit of entertainment.
Let's just watch one more time, baby.
Beautiful catch.
Go to the top, and that is your top set five.
Goodness, incredible.
So that's Zen goal for number two.
I mean, you could have picked us about any moment
about series.
I swear you hit that shot four times.
There's an absolutely impressive performance.
We'll see them play 250 World Championship tomorrow.
I'll play off Saturday.
But Jorbey, I think it's about time.
We got a hummus on.
We got 10 minutes till kickoff here.
Why are you wearing a rubber duck hat in time?
Because I was absolutely terrible at predictions in Paris.
And we said I would have to wear this when we got to Worlds.
But look at this leaderboard, baby.
Yes, who's back on top?
Yeah, it's also Friday, Jorbey.
So I wouldn't be waiting for the green flag.
I've been winning since day one, James.
I hear that you have a massive amount of pride.
you on this list? One, two, three, four, five. Your lead is
starting to slip away. Wave pumps right on your heel. But
honestly, I was a little upset that I'm almost last place. But
after looking at this attire, I, I might want to play for last
at this point. I'm not sure.
So sorry, throwing. You know, you can just go buy a dozen
times. You want to wear it? I could.
But I like it. I want to keep it. I'm curious. Since
you're, there's so top to turvy here, right? Obviously
losing in Paris, but leading right now. Give us a hot take
What's what's cooking up in the brain of yours? Well, I think that you know
I was starting hot with my tournament winner at the start of this entire tournament picking space station
Okay
I think that we're all surprised a bit by any nice. He kind of caught up in that upper bracket
Okay, and I hear everybody talking that oh, but here a easy time easy does it no
This land 100% one of these any teams are taking it. I don't care which one one of them are gonna make it to the world
champion is that a hot take? Yes or no? I still think it's a little hot.
You're like something's a little hot. We can't go up in the uppers.
Yeah, kind of statistically not a hot take, but I mean to historically kind of
with how stacked it's been for in a but you know, folks, we got it. We got a few
minutes here before we are getting the teams on the field. We showed you the
group stage. Let's show you how the playoffs are set up. The teams in the
top side of this bracket have two lives. They will play tomorrow. If they
win, they advance to pop forward. They lose. They go down to those quarter
finals everybody else here they are on their tournament life and the four
matches will play today each of them will send team four to the bracket and
send a team home from the world championship this is the quarter of
matches will play in we will also crown the 1v1 broccoli world champion at the
end of today novel coming back looking to defend his title trying to go back
to back we spoke to Johnny said whoever wins that is the goat of one
beyonds masses won a lot of other tournaments with noble obviously
trying to get that back to back championship.
Four preview three matches, though,
before we get to that point.
Every single one of them impactful.
Every single one of them with some stakes in it.
Fury versus Falcons can be how we open up the day.
The players are getting ready in the back,
but Shopify rebellion taken on by Tality.
We have SSG taken on Twisted Minds,
Manchester City taken on the Gentlemates.
I mean, every single one of those,
this one maybe feels the most one-sided and it's not even.
Yeah, but I'm excited to see that Fury
It's basically round two.
We saw two-me-tos yesterday to see it bring the threes to kick off the day.
And I will say though that match really did surprise me as well with how well
we're your play and we were talking about a Samur Surgeon's earlier in this event.
A big chance here.
And let's not forget in Boston if you're you took down Falcons they actually
finished last through group anyway though Thuria.
So they want some redemption there.
We'll see if they can get it done here.
And yeah I mean yesterday in the two-me-tos it went to game seven over time.
Hey maybe you put this one more player on the field for each team.
Maybe goes out of the way. Maybe I think that for me the big difference maker
Swift coming into his own this land not just in that 2v2, but he also was great
in the group stage. He was a big reason why they took down Twisted Mind.
Yeah, I'm just very excited for all these matches because it's just a new environment too.
Obviously, you know, planes in groups. There's no crowd. There's no X factor.
Now the energy is going to be there. The last few matches of today for 3v3
have the North American boys coming out and you know this crowd is going to get behind.
Folks, you've been waiting long enough. The fans are in the building. The players are ready.
Let's kick off the playoffs of the 2026 Rockley World Championship.
I
The confidence is high, the boys is experiencing it.
We are really excited to play.
I imagine I would be too if I'm sitting right there, but also nervous.
But again, these guys are experienced for you.
How do you prepare them from going, you know, hanging out with all the other players, no audience,
to playing in front of an audience? Because it is different.
As I said, those boys are really experienced playing in front of the crowd.
So there is not a big difference.
We just play our game and everything will be good.
Now, the other difference of course, is going from best of 5s to best of 7s.
Which is a lot of, overall a lot of extra games when you think about it.
More time for your opponents to adapt to you and vice versa.
Is there any new approach when you're going from a best of 5 to a best of 7 for you?
Of course, playing in a best of 7 is our favorite.
to get your time in the series, know your opponent,
to have more time to adapt, so this seven is the best for us.
And I guess have any of the players very explicitly said
that they've been looking forward to this all weekend,
to be able to be in front of the audience,
even though it is a North American audience,
and maybe it's gonna be a bit tougher
to get them on your side.
All of them are excited to play on the crowd.
We know the crowd will be with us.
Hey crowd, far with Texas.
How we feel about Falcons?
Give them a little bit of love right now.
I'd love to hear it before I let you go.
I want to get some final words here.
We have a French family still watching from home
that couldn't join here.
We have to say to everyone that's supporting the Falcons
now that we're here in a live environment.
Thank you for everyone that support us, for us,
From now on, every series is a grand final.
We'll do everything you can to bring the trophy home.
That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, I hear some claps.
Keep them going around.
That's right.
All I gotta say, man,
is it's been an honor being able to hang out with you.
I hope we get to chat a little bit more
as the bracket continues on here.
Let's go sit with your team.
Good luck.
And introducing their opponent on the orange side representing South Africa!
Back at St. Petersburg to create even more unforgettable moments!
Please welcome to the stage...
You are real!
So you're already getting some superior love. Yeah
And so someone it's Charlie
Thank you
I love that. We'll get you guys to cheer ladder in a moment here
But first I want to get some thoughts of course from Bruno, you know, I just asked
Of course the Falcons how they're feeling coming into this day because it can change everything the nurse can creep in
You guys are massively experienced. I see such a big smile on your face. Yeah
Yeah, we did a good group stage
I think we like some things on on foot, but we are very happy to play right now against Falcons in front of this stage
So that's it. We'll do our best. Yeah, give it up. Let's get that noise for the foodie right now
Now, talking about your players, obviously you guys have been in this position before.
World last year, there's a change made, of course, Swift dropping in.
What's even bringing to the team that's going to allow you guys to get further than you
have in the past this time around?
That's a hard question because I also wasn't the coach for period.
That's true.
Fair.
I don't know what was the lack of their team, like what they missed, but I feel that Swift
is the stability from the team.
The two are so hyped and like Swift keeps the calms and like bring the stability home.
Keeps you level headed.
Yeah, yeah.
That's good.
Stop here.
For you, were there any words that you gave to the players coming into this or the
fact that they're so experienced, did they say, we don't, we don't need it.
We're just going to do our thing.
No, like playing against Falcons is a hard match.
We worked our asses, pretty hard to work.
We worked so hard for this, and we will do our best to get this win.
Now, I gave the opportunity here. One quick word to the Florida fans.
What do we expect in here?
I love the support that you guys gave us.
Furya gave us as well. Thank you so, so much for everything.
I hope I show you guys what we are capable of and that's it. Thank you. Hey, why don't we get to the games?
Let's play some rock-a-ling. Let's get back to the desk and get this started
Coaches will take their seats behind their players here
And I mean hey for Bruno there. He said I don't know what they did last time and they lost
They didn't have me well Bruno. No, it's different this time around. They've got you he's the X factor and Furia
Obviously they couldn't won that group. They were up 2-0 in the group and then they fell short
I am concerned about their defense so out of the 12 teams here left
They are number 12 in defense the only team that has given up more than two goals per game
So they have to fix those issues
It's gonna be incredibly difficult though against a high flying felt which means that puts a lot of pressure on loss because he's been
The one making a lot of saves for fury
He's been usually and kind of come at the front of the rotation
But he's finding himself in the back of it a lot more for fury a swift and yand taking the front
I mean, James, I feel like the last time I remember Furia really being a force in Rockley.
We were in this building, but it wasn't two years ago.
It was four years ago.
There has been sort of just an acceptance that it's no longer a slump for Furia.
This is just the new norm.
They get maybe this far in a tournament.
They make it no farther.
For me personally, a win in this match changes everything.
Oh, absolutely.
We already saw the Sam 3C take out the Mina 3C earlier in this event.
It's felt like this is the the chance for Sam to show that resurgence in the end.
He's the undisputed greatest South American player of all time.
This would be another massive result showing that Sam is back.
But there's always been that conversation about which is the third best region.
Sam or Mina or if you have some numbers in this head to head regional matchup.
Yeah, I mean, it's dead even.
Mina pulled the record in series lead 11 to 10.
But if you look at the games, it's 48 and 48.
There's just packed in forth with this region and you know if you look on the if you look online
It's very heated these discussions passionate fans on both sides of the coin here
But it's always electric when fury and Falcons meet up
Fury I got the better of them in Boston and this isn't the high-flying offense
How can that we're used to well in shots in this tournament and that might play a factor
Oh, certainly, and you know the pressure's on her draw Lee as well draw Lee
You heard in his interview saying if I can win this I am in the top three
the greatest of all time, rockily players.
And you know, I think he's got a good case for number one,
if you can manage to win here.
Yeah, but the Falcons, again, number nine offense as well
in goals per game right now,
but they were also in that group of death.
So that group was very, very difficult
with space station and casing in it.
We've said this has been the worst year
we've seen from Falcons.
And that's just them coming in second in the region,
just for once someone else in the region
really was strong to take it to them the whole season.
And that meant they had to play through the play-in.
They had to play in the toughest group.
They have to play through the lower bracket of the play of the playoffs here
This is absolutely the most difficult road to the grand finals any team has had to deal with yes
But if any team can do it it would be Falcons just one month ago in EWC
They went into that bracket and they for owed for only on the entire thing cleared it absolutely and Roas
It was insane in that tournament. He's been one of the best players in the world for a long time running now
And I mean we've been seeing what he can do in every single mode, but 3v3
three. He's just as dangerous.
Absolutely. And they did get that edge over over Furia yesterday,
but I actually think Furia is going to take a lot of confidence
from how close that series was.
You know, in threes, it is a little bit of a different story.
But I think we've seen from Sam this event that that bravado
that swagger that confidence, it is not lacking for Furia.
I have so much of my attention is on drawly in this matchup.
And it's been on drawly the entire season.
And that pressure has been maybe a roadblock for him here
Because this team, this is a team that only accepts first place as an acceptable result.
And he's had to step on it till those shoes.
If they do not win here, it will be seen as a failure by the Falcons.
You're 100% right, Wade, because team Falcons made it to the grand finals last year.
They literally got the best placement you can have other than not winning.
And that was not good enough.
And it shocked everybody when they brought in Drawlian set up TRK.
And a lot of people were saying, oh, it's a huge mistake.
It's a huge mistake.
Oh, look, they misbeared.
Huge mistake.
But this was the reason.
Ignore everything else.
It was it's this moment.
This weekend was the sole reason that they brought in trouble.
We're about to find out whether it was the right decision or not.
Let us know who you think is going to win.
Progressive fan vote will make our picks on the desk.
James, Falcons or Fury?
Well, we're paying attention to the prediction graphic.
I have Team Falcons as my tournament winners.
So I have to go.
Team Falcons here.
OK.
I'm going to say this once and only once.
James, you're a very smart man.
And I also have Falcons in the open.
But you're the last one in the game.
So, it is something, but I am also going Falcons here.
Jorbey.
I'm gonna say something here, okay?
If you're here, they're surprised me this tournament.
Okay.
I did not think that they would look
as good as they have.
And I feel like I need to keep feeling that way.
And so I'm going Falcons here.
I cannot pick against Falcons right now.
Jorbey surprised me.
Harry Haslowe is absolutely Falcons.
He went up in the game, he doesn't know,
he doesn't know.
I'm 100% right.
Nope.
Everybody in the audience knows it.
He's trying to camp at the best period in years.
And you're involved with Brockwood's fate here.
Remember how kids, every time you would pick G2,
they would lose, so he would stop picking G2,
so they would be in my house in L.A.
I like this.
I like this.
I like the memory of you.
In this building on that balcony,
picking period to beat a team called Moist.
Yeah.
That of the T-R-A on it.
That was a great game.
Oh, it was incredible.
I think I got to go to the Gimps around here right now.
And also, in the lead in the prediction race,
I know it was an L of the pick and fountain.
I'm just saying I'm just saying that again. I mean, it's going to be a close series. I do think this is gonna go set
But it's just it Falcons has given us no reasons to doubt them they come in as EWC
She don't like folks the Falcons on one side fury on the other can the coin save us
No, not even the coin believes it
Falcon's a lane favorite on the desk how close is it in chat though?
All of South America versus all of the Middle East.
I'd say it's 75, 25,000.
Really?
I'd say at least.
Yeah.
I think that FURIA is definitely a big underdog here, even still.
You know, they, I don't know how big that is.
I just thought of being there because they began chewing on the group.
They literally even tossed it.
Why are you going to say it's a big underdog?
Because they did just get tested yesterday.
Five foot, 3-0.
Dude, Falcon almost won.
That's just the 430.
Jeremy, you should have been stuck there.
I'm just saying, no, you're saying it.
You're saying it's that close.
I would be pretty surprised 63% have the Falcons here 38% for fear they have been that these South American champions
Not just in let literal title, but they have been carrying them in championing Brazil in that region since we came back folks
It's time. We've said a few times on this show, but this time we really mean it
It is time to kick off the playoffs of the rock only world
And all starts with a vision, this crazy dream that we could come together as a team and
after ten months of highs and lows, of glory and heartbreak, maybe we could be the team
that stands alone atop the mountain, but today will be a rude awakening for four teams
whose dreams will come true to pretend as familiar foes kick off our brackets.
The twins and their new blood, view the finals as their rightful place,
but a fury at the Brazil stands ready to clip their wing.
This is put up for shut up time.
This is the playoffs, and this is Rocket League!
Good pleasure to get the world championship 2026 crowd they started in.
Stathley is game one as proxy by progressive.
These teams are stepping seeds in their regions.
So if it does not happen before an incredibly long time,
Falcons and Curia not being the number one in Nina and South America,
but both these regions are drawn absolutely level
across all of the matches across their regions.
Meanwhile, currently leading in series 11 to 10, but games-wise, it's 48 to 48.
Nairi A'Hair can split the two sides individually speaking though,
there is so much glitz, the glamour of this falcon-seemed killer,
there's no difference here in his twin,
have one RLCS lap between them,
have one World Cup, these ones won't come between them,
have one FIFA E won't come between them as well for Saudi Arabia.
You can already see why, when they connect.
This season's something joined by Turali,
and that is just getting better now right at the perfect moment of the season.
It's definitely been a hot and cold season for Turali.
He's had his moments, he's looked like fan-offs who described him as.
But this is...
...the game!
As Curia, they've kicked first one.
Yeah, and I feel that from Killis, I was saying I've decorated these players to war, but...
...as they're not ready to touch.
He and Turali take each other's way.
Perrier take the lead, talking about decoration in a period,
especially Ghan in particular,
he's been the king of Brazil for such a long time,
multiple semi-finals, he wants a breakthrough,
that last ceiling.
With that as well and the fact that he also excels
in the 1v1 game mode,
went to the permanent major place of get Moxie,
part of the Euro versus South America 1v1 match,
ended up losing in game 7,
after wrestling it back there and taking the reverse sweep.
And at this event, John, his offense has been from Markov.
He has got 75% of total participation.
He has been involved in almost every single effort
that Viria have had successfully on there.
Here is Swig, described as the beating heart of his team,
the car-ness by his coach Bruno.
Lost in the end of the play, it's going to be years now.
It's lost.
This is going to back Viria.
If you could bear leave so far,
Markov's one mistake is to punish well by Viria.
that they've been doing that tire event, coming into it as beating the 3-0 and something
that's saying, wait a minute, Brazil back? It's looking like they are something.
It's so nice as well to see that falling to level, but we know that they can.
And the disappointing year for both these sides, that area's poised and then once we're sure
that the World Championship is where they properly wrestle back to public opinion,
back in their favor. I'll ask, it's found by the way on the reset and the ceiling is
lovely and then the skin just get it past the halfway line and quickly cut out
we are seeing a lot of the fridges from both of these sides to make sure that
the halfway line is going to be a battleground but just what a target is
hardly up to be to the defender it comes you have no theory of defending it
currently when it gets barking so far and you have to get it over the top of
the car comes defenders killers was a way to use as the ceiling
backflip bit like you saw from Zato do a couple of times in our
and the 2v2s quite easy at the space.
Just as a general surprise to the end.
And it's Kylers against the opening goal for Fulton.
So clusterfury are in that back corner.
Lost pitch is right into the side of Yann.
And then Roulas knows exactly.
Pump it towards that side wall.
And the twin is going to be there.
Alton's drooling.
Yeah, but first, link up between the twins
that we see in this matchup.
I'm sure it won't be the last one.
Last of Killers, 2v2, and finalists as well, see how they can do it against Anatole, a little bit later with Charlie.
It's a bit of a setback, that's not your Charlie, but a wee bit shaky so far, maybe some effected by the miscommunication earlier on with Killers,
but if you're fast in Fury, which looks like too much, that's all good pace from Jan, that's good to get involved,
but like once in Fury is so far, despite Vulcan's current most recent in Fury are edginess, in my opinion.
and this extended offense from the hell of Yan.
But it's really given period there by so far in the pack of Jaws.
It made you a little bit too wide, there is.
Do you have Falcons shooting down the other end?
Off to receive, but no one believes things you can get any form of momentum into this ball.
Zork in the corner, but really well played by Yan, just to keep it away.
Finds a free jumping last on target.
In fact, there's Drowley now.
Away, and a high flying rematch off for the reset.
Here he goes with one touch, sees one below him and again just manages to peek it away from the attacking players.
Charlie wants to take a chunk of Swift, the Swift is too quick there.
This one edging towards a game one over time, messes sevens now through, well that's all for defending from Curio.
They get away with one, but Charlie pukes his way forward, gets the kill reset, use it for the bomb, can he get it?
Two Curio players are up, and the second one got the chunk of the ball he needed.
When you look towards teams of Excel on this stage in particular,
Zuria really springs flying with the feet over Voistesports.
One of the best series that we have seen in Rocknilly.
So excited with a double commit, they look a lot more steady and stable.
I mean, Achillers actually turned that into something.
He was able to follow it up, but it's not ideal there for Vulcans.
They'd be lying if they said that was part of the plan.
He attacks somehow, but he's killing stuff.
Fackle, Drowley's there, big save, lost weights.
Ian Swift.
Rebecca Pozier.
Plus, on this back wall, can he get going?
35 seconds left now, time is ticking away, relapsing.
Forget the puck, he gets it to Killers.
Killers put it up, he'll get one.
It's the way to set up, nearly there!
And lost place.
Largely in and out, setting frog loss.
Just making sure they kept every single angle theory.
There's midfield from Charlie, it's a little bit dodgy,
and so, I thought he might call in Killers there
for a little bit of help.
He doesn't, absolutely.
Slang towards the backboard, he can't wait and lurks.
transfer scheme it said it's halted by Charlie on this way
and now it's going to jump, jump, jump in, it's up target, come on!
Gotta get that pinched eye!
I'll get the fed in there from Fury and they're going to have to survive the next few seconds
they'll take the overtime and give them a bit to them now
so it keeps it up though
Killers on there, Killers kills it
and that will be next gold wins game one
He said that these two regions are split by nothing
4J and 4G8, this game is no different
Yeah, split by the hairs on your head
Here comes killer, Stranna, his head stand up, was excited when he gets the ball,
Jirali into the corner.
And I shall be able to clear that one, it's a little bit central though,
Rwaskin do something with this one, and he gets the boost as well,
great pressure here from Falcon.
Jirali is waiting, Jirali is leaping, the Rockin was about to strike,
but Lost didn't let him.
And you saw the plan there, so clear from our perspective,
but furious, you've really got to react considering the information that they had.
And there has been Falcon for the first 30 seconds in this overtime,
with an exceptional amount of pressure.
Yeah, I can nip in and it's not quite in the blind spot enough.
Lost, lost, lost target.
Still great speed and great vision from the South American.
Yeah, he's a base but can it a female target?
Anyway, Yav continues.
Furious turns the press. Smith gets the reset. Does he use it?
He does. Into the South down!
It's almost there.
LaVarsse from Furia.
Again, fantastic vision.
Final man not so early there to finish it at the moment.
In the back corner, there's gonna be a demo.
2v3 very breezy, we've seen what the Twins can do
and there are just two of them on the pitch, one up, pitch high in central.
Period now, having this extended period of offense
and that is absolutely where they thrive.
Their offense is much better than defense at this event.
Always been a team that has to play on the front hook
but they did steal up when it gets twisted,
and they've been in the whole way.
So if Hulkins gets the pressure,
he can win like that as well as Strali wins that one.
What's the second touch as well?
He bounce off the side wall where did Strali,
Charlie but lost sorry coming it's past two of them killers is there these get
the 50-50 right to us back still more furious pressure
Vulcan's having a time to breathe in the last minute struggling to really get
that wins a fucking in that back there for us they're tied with a ball with no
boots he can't do much with this and swift nose that ends up leaving the
ball goes to the man instead it falls back towards lost in the midfield this
is right now parking starts to get lower on boots to get scary and I'm a
Lovely skim from Jan showing what is in the arsenal.
Oh, again, Vulcan's double commit now on the goal line.
The gobs not quite quick enough.
And Furia, they've been building this the whole time.
Will there be a Vulcan's counter attack?
No more great and bloody land from last perfect challenge.
They've losing it well to Swift.
Can he get this reset?
Said he levels it forward.
That's a demo, Jan.
Is the next player there.
It's been two minutes of Furian's barrage.
And Furia, they're making sure
that they're also looking to get as many
get there since they can.
Balkans getting very few in this tournament.
And then they're starting to run out of shot!
One in the corner, 10!
Almost successful, we're asked to drop in central.
Kiddus, can he jump? Will he jump?
No loss on the goal line with nothing.
It's going to keep that away for now.
Charlie should be able to get some decent distance on this one.
They're going to kill us there for the Reader.
It doesn't quite connect.
For a perfection for Balkans,
we've seen them play at their best.
Right now, Pyrrhanov,
and I have to kill us on this game.
The series are nearly so far.
So we're within one game, but we've almost seen both of these teams are reaching incredible heights yet to do it
That was last
Galactic and very very solid defense from Swiss again. If Marcus is trying to take the time when they have them all they're trying to use it better
Here in their face as soon as they're there you can see it there great play again
Get the minute with the front from Jury a loss is next up
Smith should be able to find loss here and he does but that's a great read from Ruas. That changes the
Such an entirely Charlie on the right side focus, and they finally want this ball towards period territory
That's one of those three jumps we saw at the start of the game
And that one speaks through one defender switch
You tap that away once more of our options chance for a pass on a box
They can be completely cut out by he lost and his chances for both teams
They're mounting and it feels like one side has to break surely and one of this the game one
There's much more important for fury of the Vulcans
On the little back themselves, no matter what happens here, but if Fury had to take it,
it'll suddenly start to believe that they've got an upset in them.
Nobody predicts if Fury is to win this one.
And chance this might be why his killer says no to the lift and the back!
That's his perfect!
Cuddy has gone for the double!
With a chance there, the ball was exploding a little bit too softly.
He can't transfer the power of the ball to him and then back into the ball.
It's tough as it was, high above the Fury in there.
But now, the counter attack.
Let's get shut out
What keeps it close to lovely touch there very undecided to keep the ball over period they have the ideas
They've got the vision for now
period
Had a couple of minutes against it, but now they've got more control now
They've got boost control through us clearly, but it's only as far as slipping as a hundred boosts himself and look at y'all
He was aware throughout
It's gigantic, Lerys are completely negate.
What fury we're putting forward, and the Orange team
have to retreat back into their own half.
Pansers go back for Nessun, reconfigure what that plan is.
A shot on target.
Smith's our tie.
We're about to reach five minutes of overtime,
which means that all the lock-in bats in.
It comes out to enjoy.
There's lost almost person on end, but they're directly on five.
Here is Yan too high that time.
Ruas has control, gets a flippingset into an edge,
but then wants to get the tough seals to boost instead.
So he didn't get it, but it spawned, but it had it.
Listen, a fastball for that back-ride boost.
Will Falkens win him a ball?
Does he win him a ball?
Nearly half big save this time.
When the offense from him,
it's only just match-plays,
defense in this series so far.
Shoot for play, but the Falkens are looming.
They are fucking...
And when their balls sharpened,
again, they must pierce this defense.
Such an amazing read there from Yag.
Rammel was coming down at some serious pace and he had Falkens flinging themselves at him.
Soon he got enough on it to keep them alive.
This could be the moment!
Got the kill!
Come on!
Got the killers!
He got Ty!
Did he get the reset?
Yes, he got onto the backboard and had to wait for Furia.
How do they hold on every time?
Furia still have to make sure their defense is rock solid.
Killers on the right pinch his high and it's just his lateral play.
Fury cannot get out of their own half.
It is horrifying if you are them defensively
because you can't get your offensive chops in bold.
Yeah, this is looking more like the Vulcans
that we saw recently in the Esports World Cup.
Defenses that can all to do with the ball saying earlier
this blueprint has worked for Fury.
They just have to stay alive and hope the Vulcans over extend.
Hope they make a mistake or hope they have a little bit of magic in their own.
One very vital touch as Killers just waits a minute.
Caesar, Jan has got the ability to clear it away and of course he does.
Well, finally getting into the blue half. Some teams only need one chance.
Oh, these sides have had about 30 each.
It comes lost.
Aye, it goes.
6 minutes 45 now. The extortion will be starting to tell.
But so far, these incredible six players refusing to make any errors.
No mistakes in the overtime.
There's not that coming in and doesn't. You have to go to the skip, I can't quite get it.
There was a few falcon players there in the center, but they have to respect it.
He can go for you have to go back. It's already got two in this series
That's not what our target for Charlie collect goes to one is gonna be a woman
Already won a world championship and a major touch the free sports world cups into that one
And he is the way up there in rocket league achievements
He's not just a great team player, he has those individual moments, and as soon as he can edge him, it doesn't matter if he was 17 minutes into an overtime.
He's going to take it, Stumpy.
12 minutes in game number one already.
The world championship delivery.
I think it's just what few of you do on this stage, and what are the points incredibly well spread?
Yeah, look how evenly lay down those points.
Normally when you see a long overtime like that, there's one or two players that really set their 800s, and there's a couple that are in 2 or 300s.
I'm not sure what it's going to
be. I'm not sure it's going to
be 300, but it's just to show
the rotation is the. Thanks
to all of these players are
playing out. I love that it's
time right now for the last
application. This is where we
want to see your young Swiss
you lost playing their best
again, you know, and they are
right now here in tickets
arena. We're back. This
place. What a beautiful
arena. This is what a spot.
We love it here. We're up
on the concourse. It's
A massive jumbo trying right about it.
It is big. How many pixels?
More than 30.
I would agree.
More than 30.
I would agree.
And it has been already an electric game at number one.
And it's in there peeking at the right time.
I think they've both been ramping up to this level.
It's really nice to see Falcons despite the fact they lost to KC yesterday.
They've still got the minds to themselves.
And it's going to be an immediate rocket towards the Falcons there.
Yeah, I think Falcons have really got to be one goal down after.
after two or three seconds though they could start that inferior but they did
take the lead in game one and they have proven they can defend against
Valkyries. This Bruno era of Viria that doesn't
close goals away, it doesn't overextend. I'm such a patient so that is evolution
but not that inferior right now but it is Valkyries that have this one
paying lead. They had to be so deeper in Viria have to remind themselves of that.
And there's opportunities here. I think in that first game, I think maybe we just let
a couple of chances slip on in both these sides. Really look like they are ready to
send everything into the series. This is the one series they're playing today.
But everything that you can connect to it, you need to. Otherwise, goodbye. You're heading home
in ninth and 12th. It seems harsh for these 15s to let us play, but there's so many
fantastic teams in the long championship this year has lost. Right, smuggle that
Underneath the Falcon's Flare, Yan is absolutely fully Vulcan's right back.
Killers comes away with it.
The Vulcan's off to the slight scare at the start of Game 2.
And the kick off, and he almost scores this one.
How did Yan not get a no-go there, by the way?
100 times out of 100.
That goes straight to where I'm there, if I do it.
And Yan is on a different build of the game. How dare he?
The Minin 20.
It has been again just like that over time. Completely deadlocked.
And gets it as far as he can.
Tompkins beginning to blur into light here in game 2, but I'm overextended!
And that is the Fury of Blueprint, Zumpy! They wait and they punish!
And the punish gives them that 1-0 lead. Lost, barely jumping.
Doesn't even flick, just knows he has to get height on it.
That is a classic Toppon.
And the final defenders of Falcons is on zero boot.
You say Toppon, I say Sandwich.
It's all out on air. I've been golfing.
I know the different sticks that you use.
Once has lost someone nearly it's the bulkings goal
It's they gets the reset. That's how many you sit as well pretty play from sweet period
So good at keep the ball in the midfield so good at allowing their opponent to go over them
Thanks to go for that boost, but it's the sport
Focus once again something
It's London position anything time and time again from mountains though to make sure that their
Restrooms of the ball at any time they even threatened cross back into the blue half again
You see killers waiting to punch a shot towards an ever safety way by square feet central
Really will be the ball had to go with them to recommit
Keep the pressure in the air
You're a really good job making a question themselves another double commits in the first game another mistakes
And there was the over extended this one
because the science of
There's some cuts that fear if you keep on attacking, people trying to make bleed, lost.
It's through us, with time to hit the reverse button, but I enjoy pressing that 3v3.
Look at the cams that have caused them all suddenly completely sealed on against Argonne.
There's anyone coming in, but there's not! Where are Vulcans?
I need to guess that Charlie was the third man, he's the next one to it.
It becomes a lot harder to commit, no to that save.
But then Brelin Falcon said the other two were rotating back out
and Charlie goes for the assist, he had to go through the double himself if they were to score.
into the corner and gets the demo.
Killer Strictly charges the puck!
There's Johnny!
Whoa!
Safe by Yandere, this one one!
And that one came from a double demo as well.
Right now, that was a bit in 13th.
They are so low on the demo's list,
they barely utilize them,
and they get a goal in our low-round one because of it.
Am I a loser, basically?
Or was that a spawn demo as well?
I think not.
Perhaps might have led them somewhere,
as they came into being there,
but maybe I missed something.
Anyway, here he is.
He gets the lead right back, a period lost.
Slams it to the ceiling, squint gets the ball all by himself.
There's a clean touch, this period plays.
There's a chance for the Reader, it's taken him!
Lofts agonisingly next to the goal.
And the 100 seconds left, Charlie realises.
He drives really fast into your position's car.
You can remove them from the pitch.
Don't they really have my E-class here at the World Championship?
They get through.
The shot, it does get saved by killing,
but a pixel perfect here and away.
And then follow up nicely, play by him.
the back corner lost to me, but we get it too far.
That should be around the first, but not the second try.
He can then head for it.
And then most from both sides,
becoming a lot more prevalent.
Arisa lost and find himself,
fights the first on the final man almost,
and it's just about to bait him.
One minute remaining, and he gets cold one all.
Yeah, it's so incredibly close, this one,
I'll be honest, I thought falcons would be
possible winners overall, but Furia,
I'm letting that one happen.
And the stats aren't lying.
Was it 48 game wins each coming into this one?
Something crazy like that.
And now these two.
Across the region as well, not just these two teams.
That's Nino versus Sam.
Always battling to be that region that wins events.
The great pro is Nino first.
Sam trying to make it themselves.
Sam right now, pending again.
We know they can do this for a minute at a time.
Vulcans are going to have to keep so much concentration.
You know what happens when they overextend, lost.
That next touch, and as it again gets his one pass through us,
who hasn't always bumped into this one.
He could have helped it on his way towards the goal.
Silly hits for its own back, more than 50,
veritating his car.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's five more seconds
until we get another overtime.
And the first one goes for seven minutes.
The crowd count down.
All these players will be as low as their heads.
Whoa, this ball's still a bait.
One higher, but the net, and we're out longer
for it to be actually shot on target.
Chance from superior, relax, keeping high.
And defeating one, box one, drop low.
And in game number two, Cole, Overside wants more.
This is great for us as we get paid by the Syllables.
So keep these overtime's coming, lad.
We'll have a good time.
Jirali sends it out wide.
He's got the catch, she'll go for it.
Go for it straight away.
I was wondering if he'd go for a 50-50 instead of an aerial 50-50.
That's going to get hard to touch out wide.
Jirali was there, but I'm not sure
And that's what our contender, Charlie, actually is way forward,
so long as he gets the ball, Swiff has to stay behind this one.
Should have some of that stabilisation.
And he tusks it.
20 seconds in, Stumpy, it's Mowl,
gets to have the early chances, and they have the early pressure.
And we saw how quickly those punches traded sides.
So, Charlie goes to the 1m long, takes the flick, goes low.
Charles, the next player to shoot, kills him up to there.
From us, and then with the next player to it.
Oh, my God, it's really off the spot.
And Yan, teaming up,
he's unbraculously keeping it all out.
Out of the way, get away from the thing in the slur.
Next round, it's gonna go to one for the safety guard!
By Yard!
Vulcans are wondering what force field fury has put up
and that absolutely is broken.
And this overtime is over within the minutes.
Hook damage from Vulcans.
Too great for the Furious Shield Generators.
And this one with under one minute,
Vulcans find a win.
Two nil in the series.
And it really is just that two gold swing that decides it.
Jiri are keeping it so close.
The Falcons are a team put together to get that goal.
At this level of Rocket League, it's so rare to see games that finish, you know, 4-0-5.
By the way, 722 points left for Lost.
That's about as many as genuinely in the seven-minute overtime.
He was completely involved there, keeping me on his goal.
But yeah, Falkins...
He didn't get all their own way off.
It's a demo that was from Rewas.
Landing on his opponent.
Equalizer. This was so close.
This was a heroic save from Yankee.
Must have caught that at least in a few extra seconds.
A little bit of hesitation, though, from lost Yankee out there.
Had to hit the brakes.
Yankee tried to get it out safe.
It wasn't a B.
And Falkins had caused a furious timeout.
Good time to take it. You lose, do you take it?
Then you see what the coach can say.
He was saying that I was in the coach last time I was not here. Someone's always wasn't here
He's still gonna have those mighty mighty words that have given furious such an incredible spot in their region
But this season it said this is the goat of Nina and the goat of South America
These are the second sons of both regions and
They've certainly close got something to prove
second sons shining brightly at the moment
the game plan is working. It's
Mina and Furia. Sorry, Nina and
Falcons that are coming out on
top and for Furia. Would you say
the game plan is working? If you
were Bruno right now, would
you be saying change the plan
because they're definitely
frustrating? I really wouldn't.
It's so close. Furia are
playing an incredible game. It
just comes down to who
basically has got the extra
In the first one, at least, that Fury had to sink it.
By no real fault of their own, Falcon's defense was incredible.
And it was also down to Fury's defense
to stretch that overtime out to seven minutes.
That's not like they need to completely rethink the system.
They are working.
South America is still thriving.
Amina and the Falcons are just about flying higher.
That's Dave.
Seems to be throughout their careers.
Hey, look, it's Jorbey.
I'm going to be. Okay, that's
more except. Thank you. Game
three. This best of seven in a
series that is threatening. To
go a long, long way. Indeed two
over time so far. Both one by
focus that furious have taken
and then again it's a sweep.
Historically, these timeouts have been very effective this season, a lot less so.
Take safe from that hole to try and put that point through as soon as he can with the goal in favour of the Falkens.
The timeouts, they really have not been at the absolutely game changer that they were when they were first introduced.
In fact, I believe that teams currently have a losing record after taking a timeout.
Charlie's always trying to exacerbate that. Even further, it's missed by Swift, it's awkward.
They're only trying to bring out all the tricks, knows that it's not going to be easy to break through this fury of defence.
Must be massive, they can't get too much with the ball. I think he was hoping that Foggerpaul would be coming in against him and he wasn't.
So that means his touch was loose. His teammates helped out and we were asking if he was going to do anything different after the touch will type out.
The answer is no, they're still off, I mean they're still trying to get counter attacks and that was perfectly timed.
huge amount of boost is offered to push off the area 300 between them and that
might be needed in Fritz Jan Kenchou also a dependent in straight to the final
though so it was double cover that was never getting through yeah I think
Jan shot I don't think he needed to dodge I think he could have just driven
into it like I think it was lost in the last game there's some quite on it
trying to get along he said he don't want the power and it was easily
dependent it was charged down in fact it was the first real hard chance for
and continue to defend their way.
Forcibly by Falcons in this series.
Stroudy comes forward.
I think Force is a great term to use
to describe the Falcons as well.
Their offense is miraculous.
Their defense, oh my goodness.
It's just as good as it gets saved out of the net.
Over half of the ball was in.
Yeah, that was so close.
I think Killis had to dodge the bump as well.
Guria.
He had to do so much work there.
That's exactly what he did.
That was the land of the corner.
Killis, he goes forward.
Got some boosters, loose and lavish, still 30 left.
He gets the reset, can he get the bomb?
Nearly there, Swift has to watch the moment all the way in.
Voltero asks, but he's put wide.
And here's the idea of the placement,
but he just got over too much on it.
Lost speeds the ball up, and Killis finds himself immediately in the way.
The defense from Falcon is staying strong again.
It stays strong, but it can't hold forever.
The barrow, strong area, buttons down.
And gets through to Falcon's time and time again.
I think this is game three right? It's not an instant replay of the first two on a different match skin because it's the exact same script
Team Falcons have all the pressure, have all the attacks, superior get one chance and they take it
And Falcons have the chase yet again, how long will the 1-1 overtime be this time something?
Well we had some minutes the first time, then we had a minute the next time
And this one after we get a call shortly, I'm sure
We'll be going to only about 20 seconds
You're under 20 seconds over time.
Yeah.
All right, I'll go in chat.
I'll go 36.
And now he's given a chance, so he may well have earned the overtime.
Alas, that's a pretty awkward challenge.
It does go rocking back into his own half.
You see, Killis is getting harassed on his own backboard
as well, but with one touch, the near reset,
Johnny is called into action.
There's a lot of bugs coming through, but no real demos
as Alcan's taking that trend of not putting up speed
for them.
They're still having all this pressure to make sure they don't get too itchy to get this equalizer, but it's put forward there by Yan.
Reader it's over the top. Pitched forwards by Charlie. How fury would love a 1-0 in Game 3 to actually hold out against the Falcons again.
That all-important clinch sheet.
And the Halkins, they just really become just a bit more precise, a little bit greater in the latter half of the game.
That's nearly the chance to a bumble in the defender as well. They nearly earned that goal, and that's what Killa's received with Juana,
50 with Smith. He wins out by the Norquist bounce, and the Trolley just slams them out the way and says,
Sorry mate, it's my ball.
It's the first time we've seen that from Killa's and Trolley this series.
A few times it seems those two get in each other's way.
The cops just give that little bit more concise of Halkins.
It's true to the good man the series of the very quickly go wrong with you while hiding yourself behind in games
For us at least it's a huge pot
Good to the middle. He and tries to make it super killers is that meeting and then it'll grow us
Since it falls both teammates in front of it, but neither of them get the ball
Others need to get hold of it something 55 seconds left up in the script so finish itself playing in front of the ball
It's what found to do so well if you're a shot it out so much better in this game
That corner boost did not spawn for one, did not spawn for two, eventually gets
the third on target, a shot. Kill is above the net, it's going to be a demo at the second!
We done!
As the region's veteran strikes, smashing, getting through for the second goal.
The first time in this series for Furia.
And lost demo there, was absolutely massive as Furia flipped that script and Falcos need
to go all guns blazing for the next 40.
Have Fury give themselves a foot on in this series.
Can they hold for 30 seconds?
Charlie has this ball.
Tryster edge of it into the corner.
Gets the next up.
Almost the Canadian Steady of Target.
Lost in Glyffin hour, he is far as far as he was.
Killis is up, but Swift beats him to the race.
Opportunities need to kill it through for the Balkans.
And they will not.
There's 15 remaining.
Charlie, he's central for him.
Filling nobody for now is just a breach
up for Fury.
So well game managed.
Yes, Falcons have pressure. Yes, it's in the orange hall.
Go in.
Oh, you do not have the wherewithal to sink it through.
And even the end there is Killers and Jiralee.
The pass was on.
But it wasn't good enough.
It wasn't precise enough.
For these two, not in sync.
You might think that they haven't in the whole series.
But take nothing away from the Fury and Master.
Wow, they get the third as well.
A little bit of spice on top.
They're in this series.
The area taking their first game is going to be a real confident booster.
Right after the timeout as well, they do benefit from the bus.
And the Falcons, I think, played still a very similar game.
I think the area played a very similar game.
And it does just come down to those fine margins.
It was two overtime wins for the Falcons.
They did not smash the games that they won.
Both held so firm and lost again.
Again, another 700 point game.
Yeah, my guy is putting in a generational points average right here.
It is ridiculous how many he's getting across the board.
But he won't care about that too much.
All care about is the fact that Furia will not be sweats.
They continue in this series.
Their heads held high. Look at that cash.
Oh, that's so nice.
The phone swooped along his car.
Delightful.
It was a great job there, lost mate.
Spanning, though.
I do think the fact that you've got such talent on this team, on both teams rather, that when there's one player in particular right now for me, it's going to be lost on Fury, when there's one player that's just starting to reach that echelon, not necessarily above, but either they're just taking half a step higher than the others in individual games.
And they will be the difference maker and it's proven there is a very decisive win for the South Americans.
That's the element that Bruno was saying about Swift, you know, he's called those points, that's been lost.
There's literally so much calmness to this game.
Chance there for Charlie, who's gonna be on target.
He does get wrestled all the way around again from Killers.
And the speed was immense off the crossbar.
A lovely cut in the immediate touch.
Fight every single last period player.
How do you play at angles that tight?
I'm not even thinking of a shot if I'm there, but Killers,
He's already done it before I've not thought about it.
Incredible speed of touch, Pippa was against the angle though himself.
And I think for the first time in this series,
Valkyrie's just got the opening goal something.
I've actually got the first lead in any of the games.
Well, the family won, they were the overtime goals.
And reminder, ladies and gentlemen, if you lose here,
one of these two phenomenal teams will be going home in 9th to 12th,
such is the nature of our World Championship.
Good, can't believe him with this one, Jirani gets a similar catch so lost in the last one.
It's almost all the way into the quarter. I think that one was going in.
Killers the great first touch, ready to reset. Leads it for his teammate.
Wow, Jirani didn't have the heights. Complete self-lusters.
Killers looking to make a highlight play.
He free jumps, no reset for him, would have loved it.
And it just keeps getting bit high right above the 18-yard box.
Jirian needs to work out into the blue half,
lest it happen again where they're completely under pressure with no avenue out.
I think Killis is very, very angry that Jiri got that third goal at 0 seconds.
That's the one that has elicit an whole commode in him.
He is playing ridiculously right now.
His swim relax pops up on forwards.
Killis already in the air.
They feel that backboard needs to get the save though from Swift.
Charlie forcing out one, then Killis ups and out.
Killis going forwards down the wind with no boost.
Jiri we're fearing him now.
And the whole kill, all of these players echoed by the crew in their jerseys.
With three minutes rapidly approaching,
Falcons are holding onto the lead pretty tightly so far.
Furia chances to infarmer's queen compared to previous games.
Lost was the right-hand wall, and his perspective.
He says these challenges, Falcons seem to be getting to them
time and time again as the first player to ask opportunity
for a double quickly and swiftly shut down by loss.
Yeah, lost, I guess, that reset.
He's got Swift to his side, he said it was Swiftly!
And now they're making Falcons do some Swift to Fitney.
Almost not a perfect counter attack from Furia, but Vulcans keep their lead.
Charlie is up there. One more goal for Vulcans.
And the way Furia are playing, you do wonder if they can get a two-goal come.
That's a different side to them. An equaliser takes it passively.
Got the perfect shot from Yanaget, it's too flat with the finish.
There's lovely, incisive infield passes.
They are doing the Vulcan defense at the moment.
That is the difference, make a great bump from Swift,
removes one defender, a second bump, lose the next.
Unfortunately, the Hydra, the Falcon, stays strong!
Trolley has it in the corner, A12 boost.
Loss goes over the mid-boost, trying to get on his respawn,
but it's finally there, so Trolley can swipe a lot and get it.
Needs me with that hundreds.
I lost my completely kill, that was the ultimate 50-50.
Open spot, blocked on their head,
now to figure out where they are and what they're doing.
They are doing furious, trying to get this equalised,
but Trolley's nipped in there,
it might be Trolley getting the second top two,
Yann puts out wide to the side.
Let's look up to nothing here, but here it is.
It's a lovely boost from Charlie, because he's just precious gas to do something,
and it stills the boost out from underneath him.
Rare slow movement in this series.
Charlie approaches him all this time now with no boost.
He's about 400, lost, but goes for it, goes for a man,
and unfortunately, he kills his energy, but...
Oh, nearly from Swith, he was trying to get the cross pitch there on the wall.
From his error, I think he half got it.
He didn't quite sip it towards the falters there, the way he intended.
If there's a missed there though, definitely didn't mean that one.
Let's get it forward, Rwaskatches.
No blueishly spots out the way for good measure.
Lost, wanted to get that one to switch, but Furia.
A little bit of a boost start, and I've lost control here of this one, Stumpy.
I think Furia, they're starting to just look a little bit more ragged around the edges,
and have an incredible performance in game three.
Stumped looking pretty strong still, and only a one goal difference
in the sides, and we've just shown Furia have let that go.
who will the Falcons when they have the lead.
They play their friends to where it gets into the center when lost.
I think that it's a pre-jump, Fury,
it's just a bit more creativity here.
They've got 45 seconds left,
but Falcons will have three match points.
I think we're seeing that whenever the Falcons are attacking,
they've got multiple options of Fury they need to defend.
Fury, when they attack, there's only one,
and that can be immediately jumped off by the Falcons defender.
They're having to try and defend it at so many angles
is what's really making it tough for Fury at the moment.
But still, I need to echo it.
It's only a one-gone difference.
20 seconds left.
Furia need to under-pace.
Killers leave that onto fountain.
Trolley can go long.
Swift is there.
Yan helps him up.
The loss doesn't have the angle.
There's only 14 seconds left now.
Stoffy, I don't think it's happening for Furia.
Since he said that, it's only 10 with Trolley
on the right.
He can get contact with it.
He's going to slow it down, keep it away.
Keep it open.
Keep this lead for the Falcons
with one touch into the corner and the second.
It will be kept up.
Lost it a bit of magic previously.
But the rabbit cannot be pulled out of the hat and Falcons, those three won up in our opening series.
Yeah, that's the problem with this playstyle.
As soon as you go behind, it can't just hold out anymore because your opponent's not frustrated,
they're not rushing, they're not going to over-commit and make mistakes.
Maybe once upon a time Falcons would have done that, but this is an evolved Falcons.
This is a recent STRLCS Worldwide Tournament winning Falcons team.
They're not going to make these errors.
Tiff goes through, especially when they have to leave.
It was right from the beginning as well.
4 minutes and 42 seconds they had to hold on after taking the lead.
And it was Killa's improvisation and magic.
And defending for 5 minutes is extremely hard.
Especially with the firepower that Furia can show off
and that they have been showing off.
in the previous game goal without taking a timeout.
That is the human, his team talking,
figuring it out and saying, this is what we're from.
And then they immediately adapt.
They make sure that they don't fall to the same errors
that they were in the previous game.
And, period, maybe getting a little bit too excited,
a little bit too ahead of themselves.
Maybe.
Maybe that the last time we had a tough overtime last,
they came out of it absolutely blitzing,
to claim their only game of this series so far and Bruno is feeding them something else.
I wonder what he's saying to them right now. Hello, and won't you time out? It worked out
well. That is true. You got to make the most of the 60 seconds that you do have by the
fault. Tilling Jan. Don't run it up. Don't run it up. Hold on. No, we're going in.
I've not got to be good to come to the coach. You go, no, where's he going? Oh,
there he is. Do need three. No matter what they are, their coach is saying, in a role
And Falcons on the cusp of top eight.
Desperately trying to be mean as number one team and the world's number one team.
Right now Falcons have also taken that all-time tie of 48-48.
Here's now going to be 51 for 49 in an Aver of mean over South America in game.
Yeah.
Oh, well, they broke the Rwanko goal.
Boom.
I know you don't believe that.
No, I don't believe that.
I'm on their side.
Hey, that's on me as well, alright? I've been there.
If I'm playing in this game, I'm jumping right out of that bad boy.
I jump out of that bad boy and right, yeah, I'll admit it.
They're fraught in the coward.
50 seconds gone.
The ball completely pulls the Balkans there.
Imagination can take over, musty to work it past the defender.
That's going to be a sign of confidence going from Drowley.
On the back.
Yet again, it's just, they're giving the ball up to each other a lot more frequently now.
There's a lot of these midfield challenges aren't going through as much
The last beats one, but the second is waiting and lurking on the goal line
So it's not decent control here at this point
They can't quite manipulate the way he wanted, Yan has to get the save he does
But a little bit too quick and tricky for him, there's another shot coming in from Falkens
Three in a row there, all saved by Furia
So it goes to the ceiling, Ruas punches up on forwards, onto the back wall and Yan follows suit
Heavy hits here for both teams, nothing, no one messing about the variables
Mortars being set down range, a pockmarked battlefield, and first blood is not quite
go-to-ferior. Explosion lands just wide at the trench of Vulcans.
Killers onto the back wall, drawing. He's next to the bomb forwards, arm quite connected
to his target, and shoots, relax, already up. Vulcans keeping this one in the centre.
Killers helps it along its way to the floor, bitch.
I don't know if you like that touch.
If you're really looking better in this game than the last one, man.
It's a lot closer, they've not conceded in 18 seconds, which is good.
Looking a lot more like games 1, 2, and 3.
Again, 3, they're going to want to go back to that period.
The one that they beat Barkins by 3 to nothing.
Pretty loose ball gives Brawler a lot of time and space.
That boost, it doesn't get shut down effectively.
Weak shot, but actually that does do a flip and he can't read it properly.
The positive net, Charlie taps it away, straight back towards his teammate, and we're seeing the fact that Falcons take a lot less shots, but they have such a high shooting percentage, and Roas gets denied by Yan yet again.
Roas doesn't get it back towards killers this time, has to avoid the dunk from loss, still trying to be involved, his average points of the game has struck down to that last one, and no one really, anyone, 300.
I feel like both teams are waiting to be able to play right now, that wasn't really being braved in field class for solo plays.
In this game, fantastic microcosm of the Falklands tournament so far, the whole world championship.
Their number one issue to percentage, but they take so few shots, they're actually so incredibly clinical.
They've gone away for these moments, they're waiting for Jionid to get a bump and kill his positions a little bit too far towards the right.
And our counter-attack of 4.57, the chance for a reset is going to have to opt for a 15.
She does. The team that follows, under 100 seconds remaining, to Valken's and a top 8.
Yeah, that's a great first touch there from Furia. Nostra's in there.
Can you get this one over the top of the fenders, center of the corner?
Nost wants to get one more touch to string it up to the next Furia player.
That was going to pinch him anyway. Jani got something on him that was scary.
Goes into the opposite corner.
Furia have to fit between their teeth right now. They have to make this moment matter.
17, ticking, Swift to Yan, up on the mark, laid away by Jolly yet again.
And we're going to be seeing Furia throwing everything in, but it's still if you care for not a counterattack.
There is still one minute remaining.
Oh nearly there, Yan landing on that one for the floor pitch.
We've been something special, but Vulcan's had to get it, that was just the middle.
Oh, Fultz, Ruas, maybe within one goal of losing this series and going out.
Here's Ruas, gets the reset, wants to go underneath the atmosphere and doesn't let him.
Killers, right hand wall, an opportunity to work your pass,
and every single touch, wasting vital seconds, a pop high from Smith.
The next man to it, immediately, is Jorley.
Here's Ruas, he gets the shot, he's put wide, and it's clear to the side as well.
Jorley's turn to the ceiling, no one there.
The fury and the pressure, Barkens don't need it.
They're winning by one, nearly two.
It's Ruas round the corner, has to be boomed off, but he has taken up.
It's Charlie, can't get the shooting angle, and then the missy comes in.
Finally it's Killa!
Oh, the same response!
Just about keeping it away, still Johnson, still only 10.
Pop-tie, they need momentum.
This has to get to the blue half, and it's been shut down time and time again.
Right above the net, with loss.
His chance, it doesn't end up popping low.
Anything to a teammate, there is nothing.
The Spirio Falcons run in and overtime!
It's Kavita winning Marnus and Falcons if they get it and his killers against it from the kickoff!
He's trolly but the shot is weak!
One pop up of the net, Roas. They expand to it with one opportunity.
Yenon, the one man to shut them down repeatedly in defense.
Here is Yanigan, gets it full as the Spirio need this ball. They need to keep it captain blue territory.
Earlier on everyone was playing boomer ball, now it's a bit more concise to pass this between Vulcan, Charlie's there, into the middle, it's going to fall, Tivorowas could be the winning one if the killer's his shielded away.
It's a great pass though, just tapping it back twice, making it a little bit harder for Furia to read again as I talked about earlier.
They've got multiple avenues of attack which is what Furia are currently lacking.
They are, but they only need one.
As we've seen,
Will Falcon's star game
overly keen to end this series now.
That's the pitfall they have to avoid,
Charlie in the corner.
Gonna pull two killers close to each other
from Falcons.
Oh, but that's what we're talking about!
How's this gonna work?
It's gonna go on!
It's gonna go too high at Falcons!
Down there, Lucky Starrs.
They've all been there in ranks.
They're thinking,
Please bounce, mate. Please bounce, mate.
I've only got 30 moves.
If I ask, you get the winning moment here for himself.
Both Falcons players are all the way back.
He's lost. All by himself there.
He's trying to kick over the top.
It's pure pressure, something.
Pure pressure with only two of them.
Swift got removed a little bit earlier on.
For a last.
It's a little bit harder for them to attack with those numbers.
I'm straight back into the blue heart.
Finally though, the He-Map starts to glow on Falcons side.
Nice from Killers there, Ruas is to the side as well, Ruas goes the other side.
Oh!
There it is, the Falcons!
Ruas finishes the final goal, and Falcons cash in on their nest egg.
Bru to the top eight of the World Championship, sending Furia back to South America.
Meena beats Sam both here and now historically overall and the decorated Falcon soldiers walk off in victory.
But if you're real or something, it's a decent performance. It just didn't have that little bit of X back to that.
That slight step up they needed against a team like Falcon.
I mean, bear in mind that the game that they won, they smashed it 3-0, a stunning performance from Furia.
And the first two games, a total of eight minutes of overtime, only one goal, separating these teams in every single game but for Furia victory.
That's what Furia had to take forward. So, open is the team.
We'll see continuing to stick together in Paris.
And up and down season, it's starting at 16.
Yeah. The Boston Major.
And then the top eight in Paris was a return to form.
Anyway, we are ready to hear what Falcons have got to say.
We've got Leap over there on the stage.
That was a battle.
Fort Worth, your first audience day winners, Falcons!
Nawaz, it must feel wonderful to be back in front of the audience.
For you, I know we always talk about nerves, but you're so experienced in this.
Do you still get a little bit of excited jitters coming into the audience days like this?
And does it affect you at all?
but you have a lot of experience in this field.
Do you still feel the same pressure or excitement when you are on the stage?
First of all, it's natural to have a pressure.
The game on the stage is not easy,
and it's natural to have a pressure.
Thank God, we can get out in the pause.
This is what we get out.
It's really natural to have these jitters, regardless of your experience or not.
Playing on the stage is always going to have that little different feeling to it.
And, you know, thank God we were able to get the win at the end of the day and proceed to the next stage.
Now the toughest thing after having to win like at EWC is to be able to maintain that coming into the next tournament.
Because a lot of people are going to be gunning for you guys. They're looking to take you down.
Have you found it difficult to translate what you did there over to Worlds?
Or has it been smooth as butter?
You have to develop yourself and invent new things, and that's what we're doing.
Hopefully, we'll be able to do it in the near future.
I just want to ask you how cool it must feel that no matter where in the world
There's still people cheering for you. That must feel really unreal
We'll see you in a bit, Insha'Allah.
a genuine shot to win it. None of them had as long of a road ahead of them as the Falcons and yet
James they have continued to take step after step towards that grand finals. Yeah all you can focus
on is that next step that's what team Falcons are doing and it wasn't easy for them ever since
missing out on Paris. They've come in with a chip on their shoulder they proved it at the
eSports World Cup winning that drawlies third time in a row winning that and now at the
world championship yes they fell to K-Corp but for me those are the two big dogs in the
tournament. Our team Falcons and K-Corp. Those are the two teams that have shown me the most,
and when it really mattered here, yeah, the 2v2 was close, but in 3v3, team Falcons had the edge.
I will say, though, I was very impressed with Furia. They pushed team Falcons to the limit.
Three overtime wins that team Falcons had. Very easily could have been a different series,
had one of those overtime's gone different. We should go back to game one here, though.
That's six-minute overtime. We were talking about it. It felt like a make-or-break moment
for Fury and Drolley set the tone at overtime. Yeah, we had nearly 10 minutes of overtime
minutes after that furious defense would be my question mark. They answered all questions.
Fulton scores six goals in 35 minutes. Falcons did not have offense, but Drolley finds a way
to get that dunk. Seven minutes into overtime at game one. That's an absolute backbreaker,
but Fury continued the battle. They did continue the battle, but I will say Drolley
really put a stamp on the series very early. That was a huge moment that put team Falcons off on the right foot.
I love the team play. The vision there, the synergy is there for team Falcons. I love how much they
leave the ball for one another. And that's why they went and picked them up. They filled as
if he is the key, the difference maker to make amends for last year. They finished second,
they want to finish first. The road is long and they've got the best all season for the
hinders drive right in the right moment. Very good looking bounce there again. Number three,
Yeah, they're still too good. Yeah, if you're a that's gonna help their position on numbers of it
But for the most part the four game losses they had they had to play so much defense
They never got a chance to get out of their own half and make opportunities happen. Yes
Falcons barely won this but they did feel in control in those four games
Oh, yeah, it's a you heard Stumpy reference a heat map the half
Yeah, would have been lighting up on furious side with how much hacking
Time that team Falcons had but then on the other end, you know, they just were not
Allowing Furia to have any opportunity on offense with that attack. Love the defense team falcons
I mean though this duo were wasp and killers known for their defensive ability they delivered
Yeah, and it's so hard to get out of defense when you play so much defense
And then those big boost beds that falcons were taken away from you then even if you do get one quality touch
You have no boost to follow it up
So falcons just had to play desperation ball throw it back midfield and try and collect as much boost as they can
But couldn't get out of their own half. This is like one of those boss fights
Where if the if the win condition was just live a certain amount of time
Fury genuinely had a fighting chance, but you had to do damage at some point
They couldn't break out the other half especially in the back half of those games
So fury eliminated from the championship
We can take a look at how the bracket looks now with Falcons moving forward on that bottom side
They will play the winner Shopify versus
Vitality coming up here in just a little bit doesn't get any easier
You know, it's gonna be called the Falcons.
They were five matches away from one of this whole thing,
now down to four, but every match
is gonna get tougher and tougher.
The reward you get for winning here on Friday Bates
is the opportunity to play an even harder match on Saturday.
And that's just the nature of playing at World Championships.
Exactly, you're headed on the head
of Nature Planet World Championship.
But listen to me, I see a lot of NA teams over there
in this NA arena.
I think in 2022 we had a lot of NA teams as well.
And then you all kept going about one by one by one.
So hopefully that doesn't happen here today
for NA fans, but the team's coming up excited to watch it.
There's almost a lot of NA teams in season seven.
Yeah, CK brought that up.
Cloud nine, Rogue G2, and...
Vitality.
Yeah, it was Vitality and then Vitality beat all big three, basically, to go through or whatever you have.
We'll see, folks.
All right, well, we are going to get on to some more matches here in a moment.
But before that, we're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, Manchester City, who thought they would make it this far?
They're still here. They're going to be playing the gentlemates after this break.
I think I want to try an experiment.
All right.
I want you to try a game called Rocket League.
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
Okay.
With a car.
What, do I hang my feet outside the window?
No, not your car.
But you said, think of...
It's a video game.
Oh, okay, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
I know.
I gotta blow in the cartridge.
Again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username.
Here's your name, huh? How about Keith underscore 9914?
The bathroom coat?
That's the only number I can kind of remember easily, so...
At Sargento, we believe your breaks deserve balanced breaks.

The action continues at the Rockley World Championship, coming to you live from Fort Worth, Texas with
a regional clash.
Here's your mate's been making on their regional rivals, Manchester City here to try and continue
on in the bracket every match today and elimination match, Jorby, as we've already
sent one team home, but sent home another.
Yes, we had a basically a full series of rocket league in that last series and you counted up all the overtime.
Yeah, but this one the region team kill if you will about to happen between a gentleman's and man sitting.
The winner of this one though advances forward in the bracket will take on the winner between Twisted Minds and Space Station.
So the bracket continuing to spice up here either those matches with any way that either these matches goes gives us an exciting semi-final there.
And either way, all these NA fans are going to be happy because one of these European teams is going home.
True.
That's right. There's gonna be three Europeans left.
This is the best tournament of all time.
That's brilliant.
It's amazing. It's not over yet.
Well, there are still some pretty strong players on this desk.
As the most least biased person on the desk,
I have to say I really support all the European teams
and any other team I've seen.
I am biased to wherever we are located.
I'm a Europe fan if we're in Europe,
but I'm not even... Why is he lying?
Folks, we're really excited for the tournament
to continue to roll on, but we're also very excited
to show you a new special thing coming to you in Rocket League.
Ooh.
The Copa Box Arena in London.
It holds a special place in my heart and something about it creates legendary Rocket
League Moans.
We returned here in December.
But there was always one thing that made this place truly special.
You.
Okay, okay, use bombs baby. There was a lot there. Can I just say obviously RLC has kickoff in December? Okay. Love that.
What is bullet ball? What was that? I saw like there was like two seconds of that. What in the world?
I love that we saw a little rocket lab maps in there. Yeah, yeah, see so what was the ball demoing someone is that what it was?
Maybe you can't just know that.
That was too much.
I was over-stimulation a little bit.
I'll have to watch that again by a lot of exciting things
coming.
I mean, London is going to be London 4.0 at this point.
I mean, it's such it is hallowed.
If this is a hallowed arena, that is also a hallowed arena.
My goodness.
And it's so loud every time we're there.
The Froglet Fiends pack it out.
I'm excited to go back, but also,
excited for my ranked teammates that just won't stop
talking to me to get actually on the pitch.
Now you want to prove that right to me.
I can't wait to talk so much trash.
Get that, and then deny it at the time.
I guarantee you WaveFuck is never going to accept
any of these two. We'll run ours back up. I'll challenge you. We'll see how it goes.
Well, folks, really excited for the continuation of Rocket League through all of that. It's got
so much more coming here at the Rocket League World Championship as well. So many teams
still on the hunt for not just the 3v3, but also the 2v2 and the 1v1 World Championships
here. To me, it's the first time we're ever doing a 2v2 World Championship. 2v2
has absolutely shown out. I mean, Falcons Fury are going 7 and it was really fast
series, Zen Ato versus Zack and reveal. That was a lot of fun.
Even space station were able to fight back a little bit.
And I'm just really excited for that final.
It's going to be crazy.
I mean, I also just want to say back to the video real fast.
Yeah.
Kickoff, I said nine through 13, I believe that's five days.
Yeah.
The kickoff plan this year, five days.
It was like one, two days.
It was three days.
It was three days.
Actually, two days.
So, listen, I'll unpack that kickoff plan.
That's something that people will be talking about.
Kickoff plan also didn't include Rocket League fans.
And they're going to be in the studio.
So I'm really excited about it, folks.
We've got more matches to get to.
Let's start the second match of the day.
And now for our second match, introducing first on the Bluestar featuring a world champion
and a duo making their world debut.
Please welcome, Ben Gester Sittin.
This is we have man city stepping up to the stage right now and I've coached Noah with me to break it down before we get into this match
Your first one now on stage at Worlds here in 2026 and I gotta say your face is a little bit different than it was during groups
You're a little more locked in it looks like
Yeah, laser focused now. I mean, we've had the fun of the groups. Now we get serious, so yeah, we're locked in, ready to play.
Yeah, I mean, I guess, does that translate to the players as well? You know, I've seen these guys goofing around before, but do you try to bring them into a position where I know this is Christmas now?
We like to have a mixture of both. I think it's good to have good vibes. It's important in a situation like this.
Of course, yeah, yeah.
We've gone obviously stuff from the groups and we're a bit more locked in now, but yeah, as I said, it is important to still have fun, still enjoy ourselves because it's a crazy arena, we need to win the most of it.
Speaking of groups, were you guys happy? Obviously you were on a topic group, but were you happy at least where you landed when you stepped into Worlds here?
Because every team takes a little bit to warm up. Was that a good start for you guys or was it a little underwhelming, overwhelming?
It was good. We had a solid first start, maybe bit of a slip up against NRG, but it was a thing to work off, things to build from, and you just need to make it through the groups.
It would have been nice to top it, obviously.
Obviously, yeah.
But we're here, and we should be grateful for the position that we're in and just made the most of it.
Yeah. Now, I want to ask on the lock-in too, because you said you got to have fun, you got to lock in.
Where is that balance? It seems to be different for everyone, but for me, I feel like if I locked in too hard, I might start getting a little bit anxious.
and obviously with the crowd in front of your mouth, that's going to amplify it.
Yeah, I think we've got a good mixture of players.
I think we've got different personalities, and it's just about getting the most out of each of them
to help each other. Like, you know, Edgeby can be a little more of a goofball.
Yeah, you need one of those, yes.
Yeah, you need that. You also need, you know, Sake and Iqo, a bit more laser focused, a bit more locked in.
And they just balance each other out perfectly.
Yeah, that's really fun. I mean, I guess you just answered kind of my next question
of who kind of steps up as the person to keep things happy in the field.
Do you ever have to step in to pull them back?
I see a smile on your face.
That might be true, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's my job to kind of pull them where they should be.
You know, if it's a bit too serious, I'll happily have a laugh with them.
If it's the other way I can lock them back in.
It's just keeping that happy meeting.
Well, hey, well, I'm not going to take any more of your time.
We've got you get your opponents on the stage.
All I can say is good luck, Noah.
Thank you.
And introducing their opponent on the orange side, the champion of the Boston Major.
competing for two world championships this week now!
This is...
The Power Rangers!
I'm standing now with Coach Snasky from the Gentlemates.
I just have to know as well, first day on stage,
there's gonna be some jitters maybe.
He's locked in.
But I know you guys to be a little bit of the opposite.
You guys are a little bit of on that move fault territory.
Does that carry into the audience days as well?
No, we're locked in, man.
Okay.
We're back at Dickey's.
Oh, there you go.
I've been memories from two years ago.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, I mean you have to.
There's a World Champion Trophy.
You can see it just on the other side there.
that everyone wants to lift for you guys, I guess, coming into today.
How do you bring them back?
I mean, I'm always looking at the smiles, cheeky smiles on these guys
and it feels counter to who they are to say, hey, guys, but the business.
I mean, it's a good question.
I mean, we had a talk couple of weeks and, you know, we were just talking,
but we were talking constantly, we're trying to figure it out.
But I'm very confident that we're back.
Now, I didn't get inside.
I think it was Cole said he saw you guys doing some reflex testing.
Before coming in here. Is that always pregame ritual or was it today?
You thought maybe they're they're looking a little sluggish and slow. You're like we got a yeah
No, we've done that for a long time. Yeah, that's the beginning of the season
It's fun. They have a very strict pregame ritual to try and get them into the right headspace for every game
It was meant to be for every scrim as well, but they can do yeah
Well, we'll get to working on that. Hey, well what I'm hearing right now is a lot of cheers coming up for each individual one
players that's got to make you as a coach feel good when you hear the crowd
starting making noises the camera lands on each of one of these oh yeah I mean we
love dickies yeah I mean I think dickies love them as well yeah I'm not
certain but is that true dickies you love the gentleman's it sounds like they
might we might be in the EU I think are we need don't tell any you're any you
they're gonna start booing if you say that oh sorry they're on your side
right now. Let's keep it there. Any final words here? I mean, I guess for your players, for the
for everyone that's been supporting you guys, I mean, you're such a fun team to follow. I imagine
that that's what we're going to see out there, some fun plays, high energy from them. Yeah, I mean,
we're going to bring everything. I think we had a long talk yesterday. We're going to give our
absolute best and hopefully the good moves, the good plays, the good results will follow.
So that's it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Gentle Nates,
Snasky, thank you so much.
Thank you.
You heard him talking about, we're back in Dickey's,
we're back here, we're excited, we're locked in.
He's referencing the 2024 World Championship
when Snasky was coaching.
Archie and Oscar in the stage
under the name Oxygen Esports.
They placed top six of that tournament.
They got knocked out by Falcons and six.
They'll have to make it farther here.
And they weren't even invited to that World Championship.
They came in late because the team couldn't make it
and they still finished top six.
So they were underdogs then,
But I have concerns.
Snatsky said that these last few weeks have been very hard on the team.
They can't figure it out.
We've heard yesterday since the results have been awful.
And he thought it wouldn't matter.
But honestly, I think it did throughout that group stage.
They have been incredibly flat offense, 12th in offense,
the worst of the remaining teams at 1.58 goals per game.
Yeah, I mean, Seiko, he's been here before making it four years ago.
The whole way.
So you got a lot of experience on that roster.
You they're going to need that experience on the other side when it comes to Manchester City with Acro and Edgeby being new.
But for gentlemates, we know that they're capable of winning at all.
Wasn't that long ago we saw NAS take over the entire tournament and become MVP just two lands ago.
So they're going to need that kind of energy.
Yes. And now to do X Factor. It is the crowd.
Man City last time in front of the crowd went 0-2 right out of the 20.
Well, we were talking about the 2024 Rock League World Championship that was here.
Seiko did play in that tournament.
He was on Gentlemates at the time.
And the match before Oxygen gets knocked out by Falcons,
Oxygen knocks out Gentlemates in seven.
So the players on this stage, Archie Natsuki,
have already knocked Seiko out of a World Championship
on this stage before.
This time, it's a little bit of a different story.
There's so much more experience
on the Gentlemates roster.
They're coming in as major champions,
having won the Boston Major at the beginning
of the season, that ice cold tournament,
where they clutched up and put up record-setting numbers
in that grand finals.
Meanwhile, Man City, they've run two worlds rookies.
The only team that came to the tournament
with two worlds rookies other than five years
and the only team that's made it this far.
The Man City obviously, their lay offense
hasn't been there either.
They're the 11th best offense
and they lost out on a tiebreaker by goals.
They could have been the top seed of their group
and they could have just scored a bit more.
They're gonna play a ton of defense
throughout the series.
Can they hold serve?
To be fair to Man City, the last time these teams played was in open number four of the season.
Man City won that game, 3-0.
Here we go against the German squad.
That was kind of a major weight.
That's why I'm a little worried for gentlemen's because if Man City are going to win games,
it's inter-regional gameplay.
That is where the upset can happen here.
We'll see if they can do it.
Folks, let us know who you think is going to win in the progressive fan vote and what was that?
I'm being told the Michelin man wants to come up for predictions.
Oh, come on up, sir.
This is my dream job right here.
How we doing?
Come on.
Let's go.
All right.
Oh, man.
I am so envious of this right now.
I've always wanted to be on it.
This is great.
Look at all that.
Bring it on in.
Excellent, man.
Mr. Michelin, man, do you want to make a prediction?
Yes or no?
Yes?
All right.
All right.
Do you predict the gentlemates to win?
Yes?
Yes.
That's one for the gentlemate.
OK.
OK.
Jorby, where you going?
Look, you're going to say it might be upset.
Interregional gameplay, whatever.
What channel mates got this give me channel mates give me snacks game the boys they got this high pressure
Yeah, I have a party with the Michelin man, I'm going mates. I'm going mates all the way
Bates just got a crazy out of Michelin man. It's all the way to hit the smile that is it's kind of happy
I will say it's good match between two European teams a library matches
So I've been on that Joe makes a better team
I believe they go with the play really well it won't be enough Joe mates over man city
And I don't want to do it to them. I don't think they deserve the whole desk to sweep against them here
But I don't believe they're going to win. I think the gentlemates are gonna pop back off
And I think we will see that Boston of major
the power
Whatever it was going on over there folks rubber how does the coin feel about it?
We swept them in the first match here into the air and it comes up for man city man city for the fates in the
Air here around the point
It might be that Seiko was on that BDS match, that BDS team, he was the 2022 World Championship MVP, that BG2 in this arena.
Don't forget, it might be that, they might want to see him lose 82% how gentlemates in chat a clear David vs Goliath it sounds.
Again, the crowds are next factor. Man City last time went 0-2 in Paris after winning their group. I think a lot of people remember that.
We'll see they can do it. Mr. Michelin man. Thank you so much for being up here with us. Enjoy the rest of the Rocket League World Championship
What a legend
He's having a great time the crowd over there earlier. I saw it. Yeah
Yeah, great time over there. He's he is doing good for artwork. You love to see it
So let's get this match going though. Yeah, I would we will get him started as soon as the players are ready
So I did want to bring up really quick 30 of Falcons because we've got two
Terrible defenses obviously through the group stage and then we got a defensive battle now
We have to play honestly have two terrible offenses from the group stages. This is gonna be a high score to fair all of a sudden
I don't know about that. You know, yeah, that's it. It kind of reminds it
They're like a modern day below chain to me. Yeah, remember below chain like very
Rotationally boring lock at the big but great on defense. Not really a high powered off. I don't really see that happening
Like the Mates have to figure it out though, again 1.58 will shoot less than 15% throughout all of group stage, that is unheard of.
I mean it is unheard of, but they have the players, they have the talent, I mean Nasty's step up a little bit, I'll see if you play better.
We haven't seen much of Archie either, all three of them coming together in this match, definitely possible and they'll have many opportunities,
because they will be at offense in this series, it comes down to can they finish the shots.
Every single player has to step up in this moment Europe has been on top of this eSport
Since the beginning but this year they're trailing behind worlds in here. They will lose another challenger
The champions of Boston with ice in their veins the record-breaking offense versus the
2022 World Championship MVP planks by two of the hottest guns in the building
It's at row and edge beat versus Oski and Archie. It's NAS versus Seiko gentlemen versus Manchester City
Here we go one thing to win a major championship
But what gets your name in the roster to the champions field is winning the World
Championship and gentlemen make it to trophy in 26
That's gonna be the big question here, Spax.
Man City just feels like they're kind of punching up here
because General Mace has just been such an offensive threat.
Hey, guys. Hey, how you doing?
I know you're expecting some gameplay.
We're gonna get you down there in just a moment.
Got the players getting ready, getting their final checks
as we get set for game number one.
Of course, it's the two European teams having issues here
on American soil, but, you know, for both these squads,
It does feel like David nurses the last right because you've got all the expectations of gentle mates
They've won a major championship now. It's competing later today for the 1v1 world championship
and over on the other side you've got Seiko who's kind of got a lead at his
Minions into battle. Yeah, I think you know looking at general me side of things
It just feels like you're expecting a little bit more offensively from them for me if especially NASA he can get going
I think it changes the entire trajectory of gentlemen's tournament so far
You're expecting everybody to be on a different level than what they've shown in the group stage
But I do think gentlemen's when they get in front of the crowd when the pressure's on that's when they really start to show up
I mean Stan's talking about it earlier in the event just when
Their losses especially coming out of pairs were two of the best teams in the tournament
So for them, they know what they could do
they just have to play their game of lock-in.
Some of the players on this gentleman's squad as well.
Do you remember standing up here,
watching their incredible run a couple of years ago
in this very building,
there's a level of comfort there for the gentlemates
that only one member of Manchester City
can really experience.
And here's the other thing,
when it comes to this matchup in particular,
Archie has owned this matchup head-to-head,
almost 70% goal participation against Manchester City,
all throughout the season. They have to have an answer for him. If he's allowed to just carry the
load all the way through, Manchester City are not going to have a shot. Exactly. I think the
important thing for Manchester City is composure, especially at this stage of the game, right?
You already have a little bit of a hiccup before, you know, kind of a little delay game in that.
But Staco City in the middle, very important here because if there's anyone with the
experience at this stage that can help, it's him. And then it's also Noah behind. Yeah.
for both these teams that you mentioned that little pause here at the start as we get the
technical issues sorted to be very interesting to watch Akro and Edgeby as we start this
match.
Yeah.
You know, you can have all the experience you want.
Sure.
They've played on lands.
They've played in big pressure situations.
But there's that mental aspect of, all right, if something goes wrong, then you're
wondering what else is going to go wrong that panic starts to creep in for lesser experienced players players that don't quite have that mental
Fortitude we're gonna find out in this first few minutes when we get started
It looks like relatively soon what after an SP are made of alongside Senko
Yeah, and the biggest thing is gonna be you know looking at the numbers here stacks between the two
This is the matchup gentlemen. It's a very familiar very comfortable with on the other side man city
I think four wise has been a really strong
competitive for Europe, I mean there's been times where other teams have been up
and down, we saw NIP failing to make it out of the group stage after getting
third place in EWC. It just goes to show you how teams can change in these
events and really goes to show you how much how important it is to be on form
here at the World Championships. See fist bumps on the side of Man City like
you said, the importance for them is to feel comfortable. It looks like we may
getting ready to go here. I'm seeing some names in that lobby.
I think we're ready to go. I think we're finally ready.
Dick is arena. Are you ready for our second match of the day?
Game one brought to you by progressive in a European battle between Mates and Man City.
The Nass.
Nass wasted no time. Great kick off. He fakes it.
Aussie gets it right to him and Nass nails the shot.
Great start out of jail and they try to kick off play.
5,000 hour attack bars.
Conceded a goal in two seconds.
How do you answer Manchester City?
Nass has gone through one.
Ready to get through HV as well.
Recovered from Manchester City as they start to stabilize out.
Take-off. So, spot of trouble after they're to bail them out.
Here's Nass. Once again, we're looking for another quick ball.
This will fall to Oskie, and it's set away. Manchester City up to the task early.
It's important to understand that the game here feels so much different from the group stage.
When you're sitting there on the stage, it just feels like the way you control the ball,
your decisions have such a large impact here.
And you can tell who's comfortable and who's not very early.
Seiko trying to force this ball through towards Akro who is waiting in support.
Now entry coming up from midfield. That's a long way to make that challenge from.
And it gives gentlemates all the advantage in the world.
Seiko's got this from the back wall, but another round pitch across.
That Archie shot whistles wide.
Balls there from Archie. Picks down, Nass.
Trying to get that out the corner.
Archie's slow, low 50.
Forcene, Seiko to come up. He's gonna use all his moves.
Now, Man City, low on boost here, free ball.
I think Archie wanted a better touch there.
Just got some too far ahead.
Zago first touch looks for the follow.
Again, he's touched just a little too hard from both sides.
Need to slow down the play.
Need to get settled here in the series.
I feel like there's not a lot of connection
between Manchester City and this first 90 seconds.
As it is a long Vesta 7, both these teams
can change infinitely as the series rolls on.
But right now, it has been all gentlemates.
No quality chances yet for Man City.
Down in front, Oskie all the way across
is going to keep possession.
This will fall rather to a dangerous spot.
But nobody there.
And now it's stayed back.
Oskie all the way back for gentlemates.
And that could be a theme as this series goes.
At least as this game goes on,
Dads, where gentlemates have that early advantage.
Just go two seconds in.
Manchester City are going to have to come at them sooner
rather than later.
Yeah, Anthony is looking to get visible, but again, just a little bit antsy here.
And Archie will be able to put a shot off the counter.
There'll be more speed here, but Man City just needs to be able to control the ball more to get out of space.
He's very slow here in the first half of game one, but they can light up as both teams really start to understand where they're at with the clock.
F-50 turned into a bank shot and an easy save for Archie.
More importantly, there was a little bit of possession for gentlemen, so that slows down Man City again.
As Archie will outlet towards Oskie streaking downfield.
Axle controls it well and he'll just flip that corner.
Staco right through the middle as Oskie waiting at another good 50 out of Gentleman's.
Need to see a little bit more control there on the ball from Axle.
Just let it get away from him.
You want to be able to make the most of your opportunities.
Now here comes the physicality.
Forcing again that back pass.
Staco now on top of the ball with chance for Jimmy to fly pressure.
pressure. Aren't you playing it close? What's the 50? Yeah, that's what the shot though, it's high.
No one there for the follow-up, Oskie. Trilley had to look out for Akro for the
give-o. Lots of chaos and confusion here. Again, we were post that minute 30 mark,
and now both teams starting to ramp it up. As a team, averaging about four demos a game
against Man City, head-to-head. As Akro, right from the side wall, lost all his boost,
couldn't keep possession. And City trying to get their foothold here in game one.
They have been trailing literally from the opening kickoff.
It's Seiko now.
They have a lot of support running forward, but he can buy his teammates time.
Akro is coming towards middle and again Archie with a great 50.
Oskie ahead as well. Out of the corner and Akro cut it off.
Great cut off there from Akro. You don't want that to bounce off the corner.
Now final minute. Another chance at the net. Akro blocks.
Maybe, Man City can make something happen, that one was very dangerous, Seiko couldn't read it, this could be a free ball for Man City, but Edgeby just plays it right to the back wall, Archie control, play a pass one, it's gonna kill so much time on the clock, this is exactly where Gentleman's wanna be.
35 seconds, Oskie looking to put game one away.
Unsuccessful on that foray.
Gas has come up empty.
Left it for Oskie on the weak shot.
And Seiko going underneath.
Just ran out of gas.
This has been a theme for Man City in this game.
They just haven't had enough boost to finish any challenges.
Archie, another f**k back towards midfield.
And the final 12 seconds.
Edgeby to Seiko.
The former Worlds MVP can't do anything with it.
Akro, chasing Oskie through the corner, and City's best chance.
They've saved it for last.
They have to go the link to the field again.
Seiko has no chance to find a teammate.
This will touch down, and Gentleman take it 1-0.
First strike, Ghosts and Gentleman.
The way the man's missing played it, it's just...
It's not like they wanted to take their time to deploy it very defensively,
which is kind of what you expect.
But once you drop that first goal of the game, you have to be able to at least put on a little bit more offense.
I think Gentlemates understands that it feels like they know that matchup very well.
Talking to Archie, he definitely is not a fan of the Prince of Plays style of Man City.
And I think for Gentlemates to understand once they have that first goal,
they just felt like they could control the game.
Need to see way more from Acro though. 78 points, not enough.
So channel mates get that opening strike two seconds in listen. It's a very quick highlight reel
You saw all the offense right on the opening kickoff after a lengthy pause to start this second series of the day
And now the wait for Manchester City continues as
They look to find an answer against the Boston major champions
Well, it's been a tough task for them all season long and it looks like it's going to
continue on that train.
Again, I think the biggest issue right now for them is just executing on offense, but
definitely does feel like first game nerves there on the side of Man City, especially
you know, getting in front of crowd getting things set up.
Meanwhile, gentlemen look clean as ever, but you do wonder, okay, only one goal
That game came off a kickoff want to see them score a little bit more here
Quickly on now to Forgotten Temple for game two. That's ain't gonna do it again
That's isn't gonna do it again. He does not that we shut the door on him
I was getting perilously close to that
Take on Acro combined to clear the zone and well
They got the first two seconds without considering a goal and they even get something at least in the general vicinity of the gentle
makes that it's a small step up for Manchester City as they look to equalize
in the series. Great control here from Archie trying to get the ball there as
well. Nass too far forward but Oskie lies back he could buy time here. Great
control keeps the ball close, wants to play a 50 there and actually doesn't make contact.
Now possession goes straight to the gentlemates as they try to battle for
possession in midfield. Nass flip reset. Uses a great pop there follow up
off the corner. I don't think Archie's in the play, so I think we'll be able to play it right to him.
Oh, Savoie! And Anoski! What a save! Oh, Anoski get back in time after Archie couldn't get to that.
It looked like they were completely cooked. Manchester City left scoreless still as
Anoski will bounce that away. Asked Jack Rowe, met by Nass, and entry. Just wants us to go by
as Archie's cut control. Archie burning all of his boosts regularly here after he was so great
Right in the group stage, Managing his motion almost never saw him stuck on zero.
He's set to burn a lot of it to keep Man City at bay, but it's worked out for gentlemates.
Man City, they're doing really good on these 50s, they're getting to the ball fast, they're
pushing gentlemates back, and again with the scoreline being even, they can play their
style here and really force mates to take a risk on offense.
go looking for FB instead finding Oskie.
Oskie waiting patiently, trying to go to take
go into a mistake.
NAS now trying to create.
Hey, here it is!
He's found Oskie from all the way on the outside of the pitch.
Boy, did you miss it?
NAS, possible look at where Oskie jumped from,
had full faith, tried that all the way,
and finished to the top left.
Gemma mates in front! Three minutes to go!
Nass really enjoying the fact that he's got teammates to help him out here.
He will be all alone against Nuba later on to close out day one in front of the crowd.
It's Archie now in the backboard, easily taken by Espey.
That's just right at Nass. That is a losing battle more often than not.
As many players in Europe have found out, this could be a great pass!
But cleared off by Seiko, follow up safe by Akro.
Having captain close to the vest as well, he tried to control it but just can't do much
with not a lot of boost in the tank.
Yeah, that's where I get a little nervous seeing Akro getting in that low-foo situation,
has to make contact with the ball, but able to do so here, if you get the pass to Edgeby,
Kimo on the play, Edgeby was looking for the pass to Seiko.
And Seiko got Kimo, so he's out to play.
Meanwhile, just a strong beat happens, and the gentleman's able to hit the ball.
Hit this ball to the blue side.
This is where they want to be.
Nas can work here if he wants to.
But the defense trying to stop Nates.
Oh, watch the pass.
Straight down, Archie knows.
Blocked out.
Opti to force to follow.
And Zeko will try to hold on here.
Wait, Nas might have another one he got.
The flip, can he get around it?
Oh, just blocked the back row.
How we got a flip reset out of that, but OK.
Oskie gets swatted away from the play.
And Zeko can take a long turn.
Britain the pass, throws Archie for a moment,
but the entire defensive general makes it there,
and they still hold a one-nostic lead.
It didn't come nearly as early as it did in game one,
but that goal held up, and this one has as well.
Arch H, off to the side, HB.
You see, HIN, he could just get the ball
with some space and so much more comfortable.
Look how comfortable Nass is.
Every time he's on the ball, the flip where he's at,
it's making a defense stretch.
Edge of your seat stuff every time Nass is on the ball.
Acro trying to create moments of his own.
Edge v to the backboard and Sanko to follow.
And still saved by Oskie.
Wow, look at Sanko's great read there.
It did look like Edge v had contact.
But Sanko's still able to put a shot on.
Not the best one, but it's the best offense we've seen from here in the city so far.
Meanwhile, Mates won an increase to scoreline.
But so Man City has kept us a one goal game.
the one ball game, Seiko in the air.
He's so dangerous, has Hackel to the side,
off the back wall, Seiko double down,
but no one did it, finish!
99, Tirel!
Oh, man!
How?
Up the for sure, Nass had this!
HB throws it towards Nett.
He thinks Nass is trying to control it,
but I think he's going off the,
in his way, they didn't want to bump into each other
and just an error there to tie us the game.
Oh, here we are.
Oh, Archie for Nassau, put it in.
Right off the kickoff. Hey, that goal was cute.
Here's another one.
I think I've just felt all the Genomates fans in the arena
bring up a sigh of relief.
Clumps.
So, Genomate just scored all the goals in this series.
They're doing a good job at it, too.
They are.
Oskie, I thought about it, turn around.
He'll take the midfield, loses instead.
As we dip down to the final 30 seconds, Manchester City,
all the work they've done has only yielded an own goal
on the part of Genomex.
Loose ball, and a watch, Bits on!
And the man swaps his own!
This one gets off the backboard.
Archie jumps up.
He has to worry about Stakele with the puck,
and an edge beat, a free shot,
perfect to the top corner, and he lower.
I think Askeba had the hand on it.
18 seconds separate us from overtime it's NASA he's got our G across
Activate perfectly play shots
What was the small-paced game has turned into a shootout for the insects?
We're all this offense for the first eight minutes of this series
That's just beaten by Esprit.
Acro has to turn and set it goes to the back wall
as Manchester City are forced all the way back.
Acro, how?
He makes forward and Esprit can't get there in time.
Oski will down it and Gentlemage hang on.
And you finally see the counter punch coming out from Man City
city. But gentlemen able to weather the storm and strike on their own. Everybody getting involved in
scoring. And for mates, this is what you wanted to see at the start of the series. Everybody feels
comfortable. Everybody's moving around. The shot numbers are great. Only one save needed out of
them. And I think if that was for Nesta, it also might have been your fault.
To be an awkward save to have here, there weren't many great looks.
That's the gentlemate's net, so you can understand why there weren't a lot of saves needed.
But entry lining up that one with 18 seconds left and then immediately after.
Archie breaks their freshest hearts. 2-0 to the mates.
Yeah, smart for the time out. I think for Man City when you look at their chances, right,
it's been hard for them, like you said, to generate the chances.
But they have been able to really put, you know,
dangerous strikes on when they're able to get shot opportunities.
It's about creating more of those.
That's been the tough part here.
And that's, I think it's going to be kind of the key to the game.
Their defense is solid for the most part,
but once they try to ramp up on offense,
everything becomes chaotic.
And general mates, they're really good at playing
at that type of speed and pace,
which is why they have to hit you in this here so far.
So familiar with many different play styles,
especially having significantly more international experience,
all three of these players, and in multiple different disciplines as well.
Mentioned Nass, he'll battle Nubo for the 1v1 World Championship at the end of the day.
Great that he gets to play the 3v3 match much earlier on in the first half of the day.
He can spend as much time as possible preparing for that,
for that, even though he said, I don't really prepare for it.
I'm just naturally that good.
He has been so far in this series, two goals, two assists.
Arguably a third goal.
If you want to give him credit for the own goal as well.
But he bounced right back from it.
And gentlemakes, halfway to sending Manchester City out.
This is big, though.
I mean, when you think of Man City
and you think of how they've had to will their mental
here into the series.
They've done a great job of improving game by game.
And I think the words here that are going to be shared between Seiko
and Noah are going to have such a big impact on the other two.
Because once they get going, this series good turn on its head.
Is the time out enough?
Or is Gentlemates about to deliver a finishing two game?
One win coming off of this, especially
with an early goal, might be enough
to be the finishing touch mentally.
We go to game three at Futura Gardens.
They go all the way across to Acro.
He'll take his time, but in doing so,
he let Archie just find up that challenge
any which way he wanted.
Manchester City have tried to slow the pace down
significantly.
Gentlemates want to get up and go.
Archie forward, nothing there,
And we've got it.
Oskie and Nass contend to meet him halfway.
We're falling in front.
Pumper to Lakers, Seiko!
And the world's MVP delivers!
Look at this from Agro.
Able to just get a perfect dump on the 51 Nass.
And then Seiko getting there perfectly
to push that to the top right corner.
What a start here for Man City.
Eight times during the regular season,
Zanko and Sport again, Shadowmates.
They're going to need a lot more of it.
Archie coming across.
Doesn't have a lot of push to work with.
Doesn't matter, as Nass will grip that onward.
Zanko, of course, with the save.
That's deflected out by Archie as well.
Manchester City enjoying their first lead
of this second match of the day.
Nass now, looking for options.
Carrying as far as he can.
Oskie couldn't get up in time.
Archie, don't win.
Don't beat by Agro and XB!
Man City ripping up now!
You can see it down with the flip-recept from XB.
XB to Agro, big combination.
And this is what we wanted to see for Man City
coming into the series.
They finally woke up.
How would the world's rookies do?
This is how.
Three goals between them.
Now Nass, beating in his own zone.
Two up there for Gentlemates.
Esby will come in now, indirect for himself from the ceiling,
and just could not force it through off the.
Now Archie, trying to buy time, but Gentlemates
slowing things down now.
And Manchester City, cranking up the heat.
Archie the face, lifted for Nass, then Man City,
undeterred.
Now Gentlemates, you're going to see them start moving fast
here.
You're also going to see a little bit of aggression.
seen in the midfield. How's he gonna be involved in this fight? And off he get it to him. Off he's trying, aren't you just?
Can he get this puck? He gets the puck. Maybe Nass gets it. He's got free backboard. Nass with the double. No!
Off he can't get the follow-up and it saved the way.
How on earth did that result in no contact?
Yeah, first you have everything. Shots taken away there by Seiko.
A very rare miscue. And a bizarre one at that from Gentleman.
Naskin's knocked away on that 50.
RT with Oskie is starting to dive in.
Not a lot of boost at all for general maids before diving in.
Nask trying to reach out.
Has done just enough to force this ball across.
There goes Ritchie. Excellent control.
This is more of the general maids we used to seeing as R.C. recovered.
Didn't get a flip with that. I thought he would have.
This goes to the backboard and Man City stabilizes the gap.
They got to score some of these chances of generating.
That final strike not giving up so far.
Seiko clean beat Archie.
Awkward spot, but has time.
And if he bumps him though, Seiko with the shot!
Oh, fucked up my ass, D.
Foster standing large at the net.
Back row goes through, edge beam trying to put the brakes on.
Seiko, tall one at the back.
He'll be called on here and he'll power this wall away.
Nobody else to dive after it, so it's easily claimed by Nass.
Good control from Nass too as well.
Look at 15 everybody.
Chain dash, trying to get him in.
Get six men, oh, oh!
50 by God, give him all.
Every time, Nass is close to the finish line.
Nancy's been there to stop him.
I love the use of changing speeds there.
Oh, he's just off the bar and away.
Archie will try again.
This will come to Nass.
Archie can still be there in center
and nothing gets there.
Now Aski's going to have a go.
They're changing speeds a little bit.
Trying to get Manchester City a different look.
And Manchester City are up to the desk every single time.
Seiko, all right over him, and it's a hit!
Seiko, a starter!
And he just reached into the hat and pulled out
a little Robin right over top of Nath.
You could tell he was not ready for that.
Wow.
Well done there from Seiko.
A minute seven seconds to go here.
And Nates, so far, shut out after the timeout.
Here's the message during the timeout.
All right, lads, let's try scoring goals.
That usually works.
Boy, has it ever.
Final minute at a three-nil lead for Manchester City.
All right, bro, keeping it slow and low.
Wants to keep the ball close.
And City, their defense has been stellared
against a lot of teams.
No problem with them wanting to take their time.
35 seconds, Nates, can they get something here?
Nats, it's a flip reset, got two.
They got off the ball, and Archie helped get this center.
So awkward, everybody is just in front of the ball,
and gentlemen have been trying to fight
for every single inch.
Nates, you just won't let him in.
Final 15 seconds coming as Manchester City.
One more stop to put a bow on a dominant Game 3 performance.
They were feeling like the walls were closing in.
They've got some breathing room now against the Boston Major Caps.
As Mount City comes up with a shutout.
Huge shutout for Man City here in Game 3.
First LAN game win for HBN Acro.
He's in front of the crowd on that stage now they can start to build off of it, especially with it being the shutout
Take a look at the numbers not much physicality on the side of me. I said not much needed from them
It was just speed and just great reads of the game
Everybody stepping up when it matters most
Gentlemates three and one against Manchester City head-to-head on the season
and it looked like they were well on their way to their fourth win in five
attempts and then Manchester City especially Seiko stepped up and said
not so fast my friend everybody has been involved in the comeback search here for
Man City as well when you look at their individual stat lines it's two goals
and assists here two goals and assists there a couple of assists and a
goal everybody it's like a three-headed monster about a monster just
yet. It's a three-headed beast that
Gentlemates now have to contend with. Yeah now you can just you see all the
talking there especially between Nala and Snasky.
Lots of conversations in between this last game and the next one.
It's going to be such a big momentum swinger here because
Gentlemates have to adjust. They didn't want anybody to get anything on the
board that last game and then again letting in the most close they've
let in so far this series. You gotta make a change.
All aboard the comeback train. Next stop, Utopia Coliseum.
And Nass going right at Seiko.
Two top stars of their respective squad.
Which one will be the figure-factor for their squad here in Game 4?
It's Archie all the way across. He's let this one go by and powered away by Nass.
One controller touch there from Akro. It's the corner boost. Archie up quickly.
They just want to throw Man City off force and air.
You even saw that.
They're aggressive from Oskie.
Not able to make contact, though.
Man City.
It feels like they finally found that composure they were looking for.
Oh, that one gets sent all the way down.
They won't be on target, but Oskie's got to move quick.
Good sense the engine coming on.
Danko thought about it.
413 to the air.
And Acro watches this go over top.
top it's Seiko who takes charge and I'm it's getting a little more creative we saw
the creativity from Seiko to beat Nas at the end of that last game. Oh, he didn't expect a double commitment.
Nas can maybe watch here. Can he get the double? No. Locked out by Akro. Akro again.
We'll get it over to Oskie. It'll be Archie last back. Can he follow up that first
touch? He can, but does he have help? Oskie loves moves. Can he even make
Contact on the ball right now. Gentleman's diving for anything. They can't just a ball of man city
That's me to the side wall look at this skim it we're lost you or not
But it was a good effort as now now we'll take it downfield with nothing in the tank
It doesn't matter this bill gets you a scoreable spot and gentle mates
I'd be able to create here especially after the demo on
That's where all of our team will score, thanks to the interference.
Yeah, even though, I think this was Seiko, even though Seiko gets to this ball quickly,
you just have to be careful to hit it as hard as possible like that.
You give it to the defense, and Aski is still in the play.
He goes for a bump, CLA to defense, open net for Jelomites.
No one standout on the side of Jelomites either.
Both teams have been playing far greater than the sums of their part.
Archie has helped in the midfield, but opted for the shot himself.
He was thrown on target as well by Nass.
I'm seeing a lot of passing.
And a gentleman wants to get this close.
Don't eat it! That was off the post from Oski.
To three by Nass.
That will be a wide but more trouble now for Manchester City.
This is starting to look like the first couple of games,
guys, where they were really under the gun.
And Oskie came and flew it.
Great reader right there, plays the high ball,
wants to force the defense out.
Sengo needs to follow this, and he can't get it out.
That's not good for Man City.
Look at Nass, taking his time.
Oh, he's trying to fake out the entire defense.
Nothing worked, but aren't she able to keep it in?
Man City, stuck on their own half.
Sengo can finally get some room with that 50.
They need to make the most of their offensive possessions.
What a great job by Akro there.
It looks like he was dancing around like a puppet on a straight
and still managed to recover and make the save.
Now Akro can trigger the counterattack here,
but it's gone past Seiko.
Killed an opportunity as Seiko was dashing through.
Now Nass, yeah, he's correct.
Create Nass with a lot of nothing to work with for boost,
and he hasn't had a lot of teammates to pass through.
This is not the general edge we saw
at their peak in the group stage.
And the general agent starts to open themselves up to counter.
Here's Seiko, gets it made.
Gets sent over to the side wall.
Entry.
We'll try to 15-0.
He actually leaves that ball for Asper to Seiko.
Seiko, what a chance here.
What time can you get this all the way downfield?
Carey's a close to the ceiling.
So now Nass will take it back to the midfield.
They're going to 50 this here from Sydney and challenge it.
But there's a demo.
Does it open up the net?
Nass looking for the last one.
That opens!
Go!
Imagine having to rely on bumps and demos to score goals.
Seiko deleted. Everybody deleted.
Oskie doubles the lead for gentlemakes.
What does Norby like to say?
He can't beat them to lead them.
Gentlemakes can do both.
That's the phrase he settled on. Here goes Nass.
Beaten by Astro right up by the sky.
Take a risk into this fall, but he'll be beaten by Archie.
This being from now...
Oh, no!
It was a stop right now!
It took the pieces of the vector,
and how I'm lucky for Man City,
then it goes right into the next.
Whoo-hoo!
As we might make it to the highlight package.
Clip it!
That was sick!
the man a little friend he's got two in the car and it is an absolute flood it's
in my head oh man can't believe that happened twice to man city unfortunate
And now the game just feels so out of reach stacks
You're not kidding
Oski going on target why not
And city just got to be stunned. I mean they they were still in this game
until a couple of very
unlucky deflections
Put this out of reach after a back into the play now Nass
We're going to add to the highlight reel.
That's about the only drama left here in GameCore.
And their timeout bad is already used after they went down 0-2.
So Manchester City will have to try and figure this out
with only the usual minute between games.
Yep, now you sit there.
Backs against the wall, turning their life on the line.
Kittlemates.
What a wane for them. What a turnaround.
Time's taking down they are now five minutes away from eliminating man city
An appreciative applause
Probably in part because listen damage played a heck of a game there
But also this crowd as the desk alluded to earlier dad's they gonna be happy anyways
The European team's going home at the end of all this
Yeah, of course, but you know it feels a little bit better knowing that
one of the one of Mucky Moons teammate
Seiko gets eliminated.
I think that's the real reason why you see a lot of
gentlemates fans here.
Got one of the Horcruxes necessary to take this power away.
Yeah. All right.
Find out.
There's still some business to take care of the two very
unfortunate deflections that just took Man City out of game
four.
And as mentioned, there's no time out left.
They have to figure this out.
with no added benefit.
The good news for them,
you can kind of go back to what you saw.
You could go back to what you saw going into game three, Daz.
And how quickly things turned around, just by getting the first strike,
just by getting the first goal, it completely changes the shape of the game.
Just want to clarify, there's no time now.
We're getting ready to get into this very quickly.
This is not the NBA, teams don't get like seven timeouts for a friend.
There you go. All right. Back is Arena. This could be the end between Man City and Gentlemen. Here we go.
Archie takes this one up. Look at the personality, trying to get entry off the ball. Entry almost got away with that.
that. Acro has to get up quick. Low boost here on the side of Man City only.
Seiko with a full tank as he tries to set him up. Seiko, great first touch, but someone's
on the back wall. It's Oskie to clear it away. Still though, Man City keeping up the pressure
as they launch it again. If they start off with the first strike, it's just so
helpful based off their play style. It's exactly what they're looking for here in
the opener.
getting back to bounce that away as fast.
Great ball in front and a better save by Archie.
Rushing across from the back wall.
Another one locked in.
Easy save by Oski.
And we are off to the races here with Man City,
playing for their world championship lives.
Good control from Agi.
Great first touch.
Plays it into a 50.
Now Stakele, off the side wall.
No double there.
Acro gets him on worth of all.
Stakele's on top of it.
Plays it under Naz, but Naz doesn't fall
for it, Brown pinch, and Man City want to keep that possession.
One of the reasons it's so tough to close out a team on this stage, there's nothing after this.
You don't just go, all right, well, you know, we'll get out to the next lander.
I'll try something different next time. Now, this is it.
As Seiko tries to do it all himself, Akro beaten by Nass, and Archie will boom it away.
The first 90 seconds goes by without a score that should change in a moment, but Oski just narrowly beaten to that ball
So snake our buddy was gonna go off the ceiling for that
Instead left it to acro now edge be off the ceiling. Just wants to get the ball away from us. Yeah, oh
They found click over one. Oh, he isn't gonna do it all he almost gave an acro there to stop
That's me with Oski actually still in behind him trying to recover that's NASA cross
Well, Archie's going to track this play, but he's beaten well by HV.
That's an awkward ball for Oski to deal with.
So he'll let Nass do so instead.
Team settle in here, just inside three minutes remaining.
In a game that Manchester City must win.
If they want to stay in the 2026 World Championship,
Archie's got to get it for me this.
He does. Second touch on the way.
Skips it over towards Oski, but Seiko is right there.
Seiko had a skim of his own, I think.
He had to redirect, but he asked there to block him out.
So far, Gentleman feels like they want to pull Man City out, hit it with a counter.
Oskie a field. Got a read on that, but it's so awkward.
Just feels like those passes downfield in between each other.
Gentleman's looking for them.
We're on Man City, just fighting to keep them off the wall.
Seiko again trying to change speeds on him as that floor dies.
My Seiko's not ready at the back.
Oskie chasing him up the wall.
It'll be Archie.
A lone man back for a gentlemage as Seiko goes to work on him.
And Archie gave him no time to work with.
Look out, two on one back the other way as Akro-Pona comes in to help out Esby.
A nice line of close. A kind of bump on Seiko there.
Still a deadlock here.
Esby off the side wall.
Seiko wants to get there quickly.
Is there any follow though? It's a free one for Naz.
Naz went over one, but it gets bumped.
So he can't control it.
Both teams fighting for possession.
Oh, Nass. Both players go flying by.
Nass recovered. Oskie there to dive in. Archie all the way back.
Not interested in over-committing.
Oh, but Akron does.
SG has to keep eyes on him in this situation.
He had a little fake challenge now.
We're trying to take the ball in the corner.
SG up again.
Catches up to it. Leaves this one.
Trying to, oh it works, it gets past Oskie.
And he can play 50 here.
Oh, but Akro too far forward, this is so awkward.
Underdrew was gonna take charge of that player
without the final minute.
Archie looking to knock out Manchester City.
Denied on that occasion now, Akro.
All the way across with Booth.
And a great 50 in the air, he can stay with us.
And by the same time, but Oskie's managed to fault
back with Kondo that Booth's bad.
A lot of fortuitous circumstances in a series where there haven't been many for the other side.
This pinched out, Oskar's playing into the corner, does he have help here?
Hell, he has to take it himself, he's getting bumped off the ball, sent across, aren't you pretty sure? No boost on, he's not going to get the troll!
Agro! No! Blocked out by Oskar, chill, it makes it danger!
Chick talked towards another overtime, good pass out in front, but Agro was way too far back!
And he couldn't connect on anything near the mark
Now Sanko back for Acro he gets swatted out of the air like a fly
They kill dive in doesn't have the second touch everybody's gonna retreat now
It's on the world's rookies to shut down gentlemates as Sanko jumps up as well and we go to overtime
So far
Gentlemates has been the better when it comes to kickoffs man city turn my life on the line
There's a free ball for Archie sends it to Nass.
St. Joe sees it.
Pass to cut it out.
Acro first touch.
It's a good first touch.
Flip for the set.
He can't follow it though.
Fucked out.
Out of the corner.
This could be trouble.
Hedvig cuts that off.
He's done so brilliantly through most of this series in fact.
Nass across right at Acro.
He'll need a second charge.
I got that away from him.
But St. Joe with a good read.
Jellemate.
I mean, Nass hit his passing.
He's been great.
I've done a solid job of holding him at bay,
but all it really takes is just a testing ball,
a clean look toward the net for Man City.
Gentleman's defense cuts right down.
They're starting to increase their speed
and Seiko gets a bump.
It's in this all the way down.
Look at Edson trying to track it.
If he can take the corner,
that means he did just completely throw himself away
from the play, and you see it there now.
He's trying so hard to stay in front of this,
to push it, like, clearly.
Edson gets into the midfield.
7 plus minute overtime
to kick off this playoff bracket
Manchester City and gentlemen it's looked like they may be trying to equalize that because we haven't seen too many risks taken
Maybe some now for gentlemen. No, that's just still all the way back. He'll collect this easily over to our tosky
It's just gonna play solid try to force Manchester City into a mistake. I may just do so on its edge
We're right now
It all started with Edgeby, flip-recented to the pitch, just about to go off the defense,
and Seiko with the speed gets their first and keeps Man City alive in this tournament.
It's almost like you're at the orchestra and they're just playing like this little
lull throughout the entirety of the overtime and then bang the cymbals crash and you're
like, alright, we're awake now.
Manchester City bring Dickey's arena alive and force a six game sending us to the Otofio
Wow six shots there
Look at this from Seiko gets there at the end
But like I said that control from Esby after you have the foot we say it's not like okay
They're giving him a lot of space here, and I'm thinking someone's gonna meet him on the back
Well, we have multiple angles of this and Oskie was so close to making contact
But again, that little miss out, it may archie hesitate I think.
And then of course they go able to hit that one.
And now we see gentlemates with the timeout here.
This is interesting because we saw, I believe it was against Verdi's Pro in the group stage
when VP had won a game to Force Game 5.
Gentlemates had not opt to use their timeout there.
Now they use it
They try and find a way to prevent a trip to champions field in the much longer series
I mean, this is just a bit of a sign to me because when you think of gentle mates, right?
It was a close game, but maybe there's something that's not clicking that they need a little bit extra time to talk over I
Feel like this is gonna benefit them greatly though
But it's a double-edged sword this also gives me a city more time to communicate more time for as being
to get settled in so we'll see there's gonna be a fun game six it is teams when
they are at their wits end down to their last life that is when they're the most
exciting to watch because then you know you're getting the absolute best out of
them there is no tomorrow there is no next time if Manchester City can't drag
this all the way back they will rely heavily on the world championship
pedigree of Seiko, but also the emergence of Rookie's Acro and Edgeby, who in this series
have been phenomenal.
Again, three goals between them, four assists as well.
Edgeby is set up on the game winner from Seiko in that last game, and the final few seconds
now of this timeout kicking away as the rumbling begins again inside Dickey's arena.
some noise if you want to see champions field between Manchester City and
Gentlemace. I'm here to learn here. I know I know why I wasn't a big screen.
Those Gentlemace fans want to stand right here, right here. Here we go.
Okay, Nass cleans it up.
What the general may discuss and can they execute?
Meet game six here, first meal Tokyo.
Acro, on top of the ball.
It's a pass one, Aske brings it in.
Aske pushes through the back wall, but Ziko's there.
Now Ziko's trying to fight Aske.
Where's the 50, but no boost.
Archie will collect.
Archive of 51 as he goes into the air.
Not a flat, but can't do much more.
Now inviting some pressure.
Sica, look, he recognized the S-Base.
Nice light touch.
Wants to keep this in to buy his team some time to rotate.
Oh, big crash.
No change for a follow though.
Sica low boost.
Can he stop this?
He can!
He can!
As has this lined up the whole way.
And he was wondering, is anybody
going to stop him as we tried?
Just couldn't catch up.
Seiko, just a little too late to the play.
And it's Gentlemage who strike first.
And when they have in this series, they have been lethal.
Now Gentlemage forcing the issue.
Man sitting.
And they equalize.
Oh, no one making contact there.
Seiko trying to increase the pressure.
But Nass even to get a great first touch
into a flip reset, might even be able to get more.
It's just great to Agro and Man City have to play from behind very unfavorable for them in this series
Agro beaten out by RG
This is bad news for Manchester City as the
John walked away and Seiko has to clean up his own mess off of that deflection
gone on stage away by Agro this time
And he can elicit forces up in the field. The team that has scored first at every game so far has won every game
And four of those five games, the team that scored first has been the only team to score in that particular game.
Long one in and Seiko recovers to the save.
And look at Seiko, nerves of steel on the goal line, Archie jumped right over him.
And Seiko jumps, he's demoed, and it's a two goal lead.
Now Akro, nice high ball.
Go straight down, this is good field positioning, but look, Seiko, no poos, he can't contest this.
This is dangerous here, Zanko tries, but it's too high, he's helping the rest of the team.
Now, Oskie, right at Akro.
Akro comes up better than two, but it goes back to Nass.
And now...
Oh!
That's a score!
Is that going to be the throw of that great smash that he's made?
Off the ceiling!
Flip reset!
Into the top!
Right, right off the...
Oh!
And it can't be the finishing blow.
Manchester City have two minutes and change.
Take your guys across.
You'll find entry.
Act grows forward.
How far will he go?
Got one demo.
Chase Nass into the net.
And he still made the save.
Oh, now Main City got a star all the way from their own end.
Jimma made able to get boosted up.
Do it again.
Do it again.
And they do it again is the question.
How much more does Nancy have in the tank?
Should be automatic if they can get
Gentleman's silver command, which
is trying to get blood from a stone.
I understand.
I've got to send somebody forward
to just get a number's advantage.
Unlikely with the two gold leads, though, four
channel mates, SSB has the man for it.
Zanko is passing it all over creation.
And that middle scorer!
Beautiful control from Espy, because he had to buy time for Seiko to connect on this boat.
While also getting past Ness.
Seiko and Lili right on top of Archie.
The goal-goods through! It's a one-goal game!
Gentleman's defend as well as anybody when they've got three committed to the cause.
Take one out, and maybe they're just ordinary.
That's what Man City are backing on.
Acrow gives way to Espy. He may have to dive in anyways. He does, but he's got nothing in the tech to follow it up.
Here goes Zeko, the world's MVP. The boys are out, but Espy is too far forward.
Another chance for holding onto possession. Ness, sidewall doubled. Yeah, he's getting that Zeko new it.
Zeko to Acrow. Acrow tackled the redirect. Ness all over it. They don't want to let anything in here.
Indirect to the ceiling and still popped away.
Nass went in there in midfield, but fortunately for Man City,
from a time back in time,
also all of the men down there still flexes muscles.
Lord Oscar cannot be stopped.
Oh, the A.P. got the corner boost.
They could play this.
Acklo's too far back.
He's helped.
Pumps Nass off the ball.
Look at Man City now.
Complete control of the possession.
They want to keep gentlemen's here.
Oh, HV, has Oskie winning again.
How many more times are they gonna try to beat him?
It's still come up, HV, as Ziko races back in the final 45.
Demo by Oscar and HV the clear.
This is a great situation for gentlemen.
They can control this, they control the ball, and the pace of play.
You can see Archie wanting to keep it close.
Last one, hits the dunk.
Nass to win!
No!
That would have been for sure the victory goal.
But again, we've got 22 seconds to go!
Still a chance for Man City if they can get one!
And City have a second life, but it's their last life for sure!
Acquire to clear, final countdown!
Here in Port Warrant for Man City!
Oski, just tracking and tracking!
No time left!
Arcee will down it and Gentlemates advance!
Gentlemates, stay alive here at the World Championship.
Man City gave it their best shot towards the end,
but it wasn't enough for the mates.
A well-balanced assault from both sides.
Again, both teams, when you think about European Rocket League,
You're not really looking at it, I mean, outside of a couple of teams, one standout performer,
everybody steps up when they're at their best. Both teams needed to be here with their only life
on that stage. And for gentlemates, Archie, Nass and Oskie continue their strong performance
against Manchester City for wins in five attempts against the Man City squad. And Daz, how about
the performance of NASA, unless a little tuna before the 1v1 championship.
Oh yeah, NASA's starting to get involved and he's looking at you.
There's those the emotes.
Scary signs if you're anybody else having to play against General Macy and
NASA get ramped up, but I mean it was a full team effort.
Oskie was incredible.
We saw him just again be able to control the ball so well, sitting up his
teammates and arching.
Whenever you needed a solid shot, he was there every single time.
Gentlemates looking in form, but believe you have a leaf standing by with us
That's right. I am Shannon boy with Oski from the gentle mates. That's like you guys are loving them. Give it up gentle mates
Oscar I feel like you thrive in this kind of environment every time I see you walk out on the stage or walk up for an interview
It's a big smile on your face. Yeah, I mean, this is what you play for man
like worlds especially like playing in front of a crowd is all I want to play for
Oh hey you just won which means you get to keep doing it again afterwards now that
match up there it looked like you guys had it on lock at one point you're up a
three one maybe close another series but the man city started fighting back in
your eyes what was that what were they doing to kind of shut you guys down
from ending the series early I mean at the start they were like kind of
camping in the goal of it they were playing very defensive yeah then that one
game when they went to go three two they started bullshitting like crazy
and we didn't expect that.
So, yeah, we kind of told him a bit, but it's fine.
We got the job done.
Is that why the timeout?
Because, you know, the timeout after, you know,
they had two wins, but it was after a single win,
you guys timeout a slow down.
Was it because of that situation?
Yes, I think so, because, I mean,
we kind of knew what was going on,
but at the same time, you want to stop the momentum.
And I think it worked.
Who calls that?
Was that one of you guys, or was it Saskia?
I mean, Saskia asked us,
and then we kind of, like, discussed it.
But usually, it's simply calling the timeout.
Yeah, yeah. That's fair.
Hey, but you guys seem like you answered back quickly.
Is it really hard in those moments to win a team makes a sudden adjustment to also make a counter adjustment?
Yeah, I mean it's weird because like for us, would you kind of stick to our game plan?
We don't really focus on other team too much and we understand how they play but like for us
It's just same in our game. Hey, well, it is been a good game for you guys so far
Fans are loving it right now for the rest of the day. Of course, that's it for you for your games
What's the game plan? Is it just relax and have some fun or is it a snazzy seven four lock-in?
I think it's a bit of both like we play our best when we are having fun laughing
Even if I lose him like I see a lot of people saying like oh why they laughing when they're losing
I'm like oh like we can't always be depressed because we're losing. I need to have a good mentality, you know
Yes, amen. It doesn't matter like we just want to play our game and hopefully we'll keep doing so more
You guys have been playing your game and then you got some fans to back you up as well
One more time for your winners here gentlemades
Europe loses another team here at the World Championship now only having three representatives the general
H is secured a top eight finish and they will look to tomorrow to see their right and obviously they can go the entire way
We saw that back in Boston
So I think the rest of the bracket is going to be fearful that these guys get into form
We saw it a little bit today with nas point eight three goals for game leading the team
So if he can get that offense going mates are gonna be dangerous in the store, right?
I thought that was a good fight for Man City, especially near the end.
Ezra and Acro really stepped up, tried to force that game,
tried to force another game out of them, but Man City just couldn't get it done.
And let's not forget that for the past three years or so,
there's been a European bubble. It's hard to break into that,
but Man City with two thirds, basically new players on land,
they broke through that bubble this year, and they competed at the very best.
The top 12 finish, they should be very happy with their season.
Yeah, I'll be extra to see what Man City organization does,
and they're gonna keep the Ross and if they want to keep building upon this season.
But looking over that gentleman's squad, all three were pretty much on that.
Don't know what he needs to do.
Aren't you doing a little more quiet than I would like from him?
I'm not.
Like, Archie hasn't really done like a man as far as this whole season.
He doesn't have to.
Yeah, he hasn't asked through that much.
That's okay, so far.
If you're going to Man City, they really take their chances.
And I like what Archie said in the interview.
He said it kind of calm about the pause when they went up.
Man City, they hasn't won a three on that game.
Because they start really chasing, especially in Game 6.
They really start putting all their chips against the wall
and trying to see if they can make something more.
And that's just that I want to see more out of Man City.
We always talk about this thing.
They play so defensive all the time.
Sometimes you have to go out and try and win a series
and not just try and contain the series.
Man City just doesn't do it enough.
Seriously, I mean, that last game
was the most exciting entry he's ever made.
I was like, actually, he looks like that a little more
often.
Like, he, if specifically, can definitely go play something
like that.
But I saw in that game, I want to see more of that
in the future.
I mean, they kept the death by the pressure.
The only time in the series, they might have a better shot.
They really didn't look good.
Opportunities were coming. It has came on after that score two great goals early on in the game
It's just hard to overcome that 50% of time general mates is spanking spending a time ahead
They're not playing that much defense as two series in a row actually where the team that plays more defense comes out losing gifts
Yeah, but that's another one where the mates didn't play a lot of defense
But the boost that's solid they didn't actually get that big of an advantage
I want the mates if you are gonna have that
Take pressure on off that you gotta take more of their boost to make them have to play even more defense
Well, James bot is going to be on the
Telstra all weekend for us talking
this through specific plays here.
James was watching that match.
Would you see James?
Awesome brilliant physicality out of
NASA and this play is a perfect example
of how one player can neutralize all three.
He does get some help from his teammates.
It is a team game after all,
but look at the work that NASA has done.
The place starts out with Seiko
blasting the ball to the backboard here.
And I think do you see a mini map guys?
All right, I'll hold up till we can get the game up.
OK.
Yeah, so it looks like the observers in the back
are going to have to explain this one.
But I do have the play up.
If we can get the screen up, I can get it going here
in a moment.
But the play.
OK.
Well, guys, we'll see if maybe we
can check in with you again a little bit later on.
Thanks, Wayfog.
Appreciate you, man.
OK.
OK.
Exactly.
We've got to go back.
We'll get it.
You know, we're just going to say,
He should be back here later.
He was really excited for the X's and O's when we were about to see.
I was like, oh, that was nice of you.
I was like, yeah, that was nice of you to come by and see your little long story.
He said, oh.
Folks, we have gotten through two of our matches today.
We have two more three and three matches and then a 1v1 grand finals.
That's correct.
At the end of today.
But the bracket continuing to evolve.
More importantly, we got North America coming up.
We haven't seen them yet.
That's right.
in a row North America versus another region. So the crowd's about to get
left. One story to that came to a conclusion in that match there between
the gentlemates and man city. Five players, five world champions who earned their
title here on this stage came into this tournament. Seiko on man city the first
to be eliminated from contention of getting another one here. And you know
there might be another one next match. I know everyone's expecting monkey
Moon arena to be hosted monkey moon on Sunday. Oh, yeah, because here you fake them before the time of gas jewelry
So yeah
They went five and almost won against the best teams in the tournament in the same group mind you and forecasters pick twisted minds
That was the most of any team yet. They're in the lower bracket
So little disappointed so far for monkey moon, but now he's in his element
He's in front of the crowd
He's in front of the crowd and he'll get to play here in this hallowed hall where he won both of his world
championship. We're gonna take a quick break when we come back on TV. The twisted mind is taking on the boys from SSG. We'll see you in a moment.
Okay, Palmer's fixing that burst pipe. It should be all set.
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, um, Tuesdays are cray.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
You can't do that.
That's right, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
Oh, I believe you.
Life is meaningless without affirmation, am I right?
Milk can help you grow.
Milk can't stop your monster's dream of being a nail-tech.
Oh
All right
You're here! Come on in! Come on in! Oh my goodness! So excited. Welcome to the new HQ
for Progressive's Rocket League Command Center. Guys, don't be rude, say hi to our guests.
Yeah. I know what you're thinking. What if you're so talented and handsome? What
do you guys do here? Well, I lead a team of experts who work around the clock to
a rock league player base from the unexpected.
Hey, Wade.
Oh, hello.
I finally finished the report of last week's
accidental own goal cases.
OK, anything interesting?
Yeah.
99.14% were not accidental.
What's the most important part of my job?
I'd have to say figuring out who holds accountability.
No, no, no.
Stop the replay.
Stop it.
You're supposed to be back post.
You had one job.
What do you mean?
Now is your teammate's fault because you backflicked.
That doesn't make any sense.
I don't know!
It's really important in my role to stay calm, impartial, and unemotional.
So obviously, I was the man for the job.
All right, well, let me give you the grand tour.
Over here we have our best and brightest Rule One Specialist, John.
Yep.
Uh, so, any interesting cases come through today?
Uh, yeah.
One particularly interesting.
The rank is called three, the game mode is 2B2, the claimant says the opponent purposefully broke the rule one.
Anyways, over here we have our demolition specialist, Herc! Herc, how's it going?
She's busy. Anyways, the Herc panels all are excessive demo disputes, one of the most important roles on the task force. Some would even say explosive.
It isn't what seems to be the issue look here you can see some of the magic
happening with their sir sir listen to me get anyone call I got it on the kickoff
no do I want all three of you upside down in their corner while the ball
slowly roll into your open neck no you can't speak to a manager you need to
speak to your coach.
Triple commits are epidemic.
People think they can just dive in and start a meal without any coverage and
we'll clean up the debris.
Not on my watch.
And finally, we have our bronze cover customer service reps, the best in the
business off the field and helping the not so best in the business on the
field.
Bronze is our most popular ban.
Loads of people are in bronze.
In fact, be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, look at this.
Look over here guys.
We got a rule one happening in the office!
Uh oh! Uh oh!
Johnny, clear your calendar!
In the dark haze, polarized gaze
Trying to find my way to you
Where the space is, corner a place
You're the feeling that I choose
I'm tired of running, cause you lost the feeling
You're disconnected in your touch
Are you believing in what I'm seeing?
Oh, I think I'm high like it too much
It's all I do now, so take off your damn hat
You're the one who made me rise
Cause I can't change
What you're wasting
Now that your gaze is born again
You can face it, we can face this, and I'm not afraid that you should lose
You're tired of running, cause I lost a feeling, with this collective in our touch
I can't believe that you wanna see your head
All day, I like it too much
Cause all I do now is to figure out how
You lost the fire in your eyes
Cause I can't change it
Would you please stay?
Never let your gaze is born and raised
What is my name?
What is my name?
It's the one
What is my name?
What is my name?
The action continues as the 2026 Rocket League World Championship 10 teams remain and North
America the team that has half of them has yet to play let's take care of that now SSG
about to take on twisted minds in the building we are back and ready to go. Johnny, what a day it's
been so far. You know, now we get the, like I said, the North American teams for the first time
we're just watching other regions get eliminated. Sam are getting eliminated. We use getting
eliminated, but NA still on eliminated. And I said it in the pre-show base initially,
I think they could go the whole day without having any teams eliminated. Yeah, these lesser
regions, you know, being eliminated, but now North America is here to play.
Of course, Johnny just says the universal principle, of course, there's a chance they could not
be eliminated the whole entire day.
Now, does he believe that?
No, he doesn't.
But there's a chance.
We'll see.
The predictions are going to be visible after the next run, so you'll see.
I'm going to be very impressed.
I'll be shocked.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We will see.
We will see, Johnny.
The teams are up against these.
These two feel like the most coin flipping matches of the day.
The previous two, absolutely, you can make a case that it could go either way.
to it's really difficult to not make a case like a goal. Yes, may station obviously coming out of the group of death
They went to five games against the two favorites in the entire tournament
That's right, but they did falter in both of those matchups
So we'll have to see if they can bounce back on the other side
We have twisted minds who again a lot of people have them picking to win this entire tournament
They also did not have a great group stage. Yeah, it's just a fine
So they look really really bad to be honest compared to expectations because it's not just the problems on the pitch
the vibes look off they look like they're just getting so tilted and what's
happening they were a game away from being eliminated it was the I think the
hardest proof to make it out of but they were supposed to be fighting for first
place not last place they were supposed to be doing that but unfortunately the
end of that position not a good stuff long ago as sg team ideas just say
like game five Falcon game five farming court yeah they finish off them
series they might be number one coming on a group they might be in upper
bracket right now they've been informed and they've been playing this
tough ball the whole entire weekend.
Yeah, for sure. Their defenses look incredibly good.
The number four defense in the entire tournament.
But again, that's in the group of death against Casey and Falcons.
Yeah. Like, that's impressive.
Meanwhile, those twisted minds probably favorite to win their group.
They've lose the match to Furia,
and then they go to game five against Ninjas of Bajama
who hadn't won a game in the higher events.
So, we're talking about which team's not living up to expectations
more right now. I feel like it's twisted minds, Johnny, not SSG.
Oh, absolutely. I think twisted minds are way off their expectations.
They look like they were coming in with a little bit more of a cautious play style and that hasn't helped them all that much
And if anything it's hindered them is taking away that offensive fire part that we're so used to seeing from them
Is now they're still conceding but they're not scoring at the same output as they used to are.
It seems like they auto corrected a bit too much at EWC. Their offense was explosive, but their defense was non-existent
So I think they were trying to figure out that issue
But now they've kind of corrected a little bit too much now they don't have offense to go along with it.
I mean I already felt energy in the building just starting to wake up. It was a little bit slumber.
Everybody was just not easing it. They use arena get the Falcons first fairy out the way mean the first time get the Europe versus Europe
Now you got that says G boys
So a lot of people have a lot of faith in and of course on the other end you got a fabled name in there's the rain
The person who's coming multiple times. I really hope y'all don't boom
Okay, he's came in the last two times. He's got food and he always comes out on top
That's monkey moon to Tom World champion here now and unless he's trying to get a request
Is that a request for me? You don't want Monkemen to be rude because it helps him.
I think it does. I think it activates him. I think he's been activated both times.
He got booed last time at 224. I said, oh, no, we're in trouble.
Yeah, he's going to be interested.
Well, he felt that energy. He didn't.
Don't change anyone. He said, come on, bring it to me.
I would consider it not that I'm trying to instigate anything.
You know, I don't do that, but I would consider it cowardice from the crowd
to not boo Monkemen.
He is the supervillain of Rockland.
I feel that knows. And you don't let the supervillain walk into the arena
to a nice cricketing round of locks.
You have to feel like you're just completely quiet.
Throw him off.
Throw him off his game.
Just don't make any reaction.
What's the power does that give Thanos
to walk in a room with silence and arena?
To get the energy.
I don't know.
I think there's an energy in silence as well.
I don't think it's what we can gamify this system.
They decide.
Monkey Moon is bringing his own power to the pitch here.
And the crowd is just, he's going to feed off
whatever they give him.
Now, I mean, and arguably, he's got his best individually talented players.
Maybe he's our player outside the Zen last year.
I mean, Nova and TRK, TRK was in the World Championship Grand Final last year.
Nova won the 1-1 reigning RLCS 1-1-1 champion, trying to go back in that game
later today. So he's got great players,
great coach, and since he's been coaching him, I believe.
So, I mean, it looks like a real good.
Oh, this is a really fun, really fun fact point about this match,
because you take a look here at the matches.
We have Twisted Minds taken on Space Station, but then a little bit later on,
you can see that Twisted Minds logo next to Nova's name.
He is trying to defend his 1v1 World Championship at the end of the day.
So his intention may be a little bit split, but for Diaz, who played Nobu in Raleigh
in last year during the 1v1s, he got beaten there.
You could see that it was frustrating to him.
He wanted to play better in that moment.
And this would be a, what a way to get revenge for Diaz to knock Nobu out of the 3v3 World Championship for 2020 cities.
Yeah, that is my one concern.
So obviously now we're like planning against the crowd.
Diaz, when he's up in the crowd and that 1v1 kind of fell apart throughout that match,
And we know the experience on Swiss's mind side in front of the crowd. They're gonna be just fine. Yeah at the same time though
I'm seeing an SSG team who have been so close to KC so close to Falcons the two teams who honestly look really strong
I think Falcons KC
At least as far as the eye test goes they might be the two most impressive complete teams so far
There's a lot of roughly still to play
But I think space station might still be the best North American team despite the fact that they're in the lower bracket
The teams are losing to and the hard to start close those games are close to the matches are has been thinking SSG are playing at a very high level
Yeah, I kind of give a little foot s foot kept losing for last like five months kept losing game seven game five against great team like
How they ever got a really just make that jump take that leap finally finish off the series
There's question marks even here in this tournament
He kind of lost again fine like oh here we go again when they throw it against twisted mines
They're up to own game five and they threw it like oh my god foot finish it
But then they finally got over that that's why they're up in the upper bracket right now as a team of your songs all over
You can't be seen finals. They have a chance well folks the players are ready. It's time to get them on the stage
It's twisted minds versus SSG
is fully on show but yet the booze are just echoing through the venue before they even had
a visual on Twisted Minds there so you got to remember it's not just Monkey Boon who can
play against the booze, the ones who are on the World Champ, he was getting four of that
in France and he did not care.
Twisted Minds is known as the farm because they got three goats on their team, we got
the 1v1 goat, we got the all-time goat in Monkey Boon, two-time World Champion
in this arena and only in North America, no one likes him here and that's just how he likes.
I mean yeah that's how he loves it and honestly when he got introduced to the boos he kind of felt
like he won the boog but they didn't really mean it. Like they kind of got a little scared.
This guy here is not a person, a fan of Rock League who does not love that style. Same guy,
Meena go start the hallway back in Stockholm, then it stops then London came out with a
the glass and put up Almond and Abbasist then truly is the section to mean a
region playing alongside the goal in Rockley and I was one one go that's
gives father to farm their great team.
With some minds they want to make this lower bracket run against four casters
picked them to win this turn more than any other team. They're ready to go
they're gonna have to get through North America.
And they're opponent on the other side.
Transports the new Sputnikers.
They are the bad boys of NA.
They are the Nation Gaming.
And now we're trying to make a run here in Dickey's arena.
Space station always has a thing for the walkouts purple Cobras and now they got the cowboy hats from space station trying to have a little bit of fun with it
I like I like some of that pressure. Sorry. Now. It's not like they're
Cowboys. Oh, no worse. Yeah
But right here a feeling in particular man
Really getting his pain his dividends here his spirits over in North America a lot of people got enough that he might be the best
play in North America.
Ballster is another person too right now.
Zachary DePazenga.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Split two MVP in my books for North America.
He retired for six months, came back,
and became the best player in NA.
And I think the season that he stepped up,
he has, this has been his big blow up,
not just in 3-D3, but even in 1-D1,
I think he's looking a little bit more polished there
despite the loss.
He's such an impressive year for me in 3s,
and he's been the catalyst for space station's progress.
And this whole team has always been about potential, potential, potential.
And that was with Diaz as well, with his one-view and career.
He got to translate that into the 3v3.
But at EWC, we saw exactly what this team is capable of making that grand finals wrong.
I mean, they can do everything too.
Both teams, honestly, twisting minds, they make fast pace.
No one in particular loves to take pop shots from the midfield, catch you off guard.
Monkey Moon's always there in the midfield too.
And then on the other end, Zack, you know he's going to be third over on SSG.
Diaz in our field, we're going to push up.
especially revealed. He's always hunting, always trying to make plays happen as it looks to the head-to-head.
And of course, it's these two. Noble versus Zack and Ozzy, that might be the key match in and of itself.
And Noble there, we have 84% goal participation, but he's looked frustrated throughout the group stage.
He does not seem happy with his team.
So we'll see if the chemistry is better throughout today.
Muckyburn actually went on the Rock the Biggett channel after their match yesterday.
And I saw the translation of his answer to explain that they're they're struggles
He said that they're just panicking at nothing that they're getting nervous for no reason
They're just a kind of kid in defense and he doesn't understand why it's not coming together
So if this isn't a step up for them, they're gonna be in trouble here
That you're gonna be in situations against a station where you're gonna be forced about a good defense
They're gonna demo a lot. They're gonna chase you around. They're gonna be very annoying in final third
I mean I just want to be that guy though, but like Zaggeraville also went up against that beast of a new one twos yesterday
They kind of got slapped on it. I forgot about it. No, you forget about it, but like you learn something from me like well
Let's do whatever they lost the extra ones
So they're just a three's never any space station were the only team that had the ones and twos represent right and
Didn't go well for them, but
Experience it as a day though. I do agree with you
I think that they also, you know get a chance to show the maturity there
with their golf, you know, getting completely blown up.
They thought they got game, which is something only one
of their team can say.
So I think they, you know, be pretty proud of that game.
And just to remind the main question out of EWC, yes,
it was a great run, it was a great offense,
but what about the defense?
Leading up a bit too much.
They have not answered those questions yet.
Throughout the group stage,
they are the 10th best defense in this tournament.
That is not acceptable for them.
That is not going to get them to a grand finals
where they expect to be.
So they still have a lot of questions around that.
Last year at the World Championship,
twisted minds went 0 and 2.
They got macked out very, very quickly,
but they did not have TRK.
TRK was in the grand finals,
playing for the title of World Champion.
SSG, they went out top eight.
They're trying to get back to that with a win here.
But last year they didn't have Zach.
Will Zach or TRK,
BD Difference Maker here for these teams.
Let us know who you think is gonna win
in the progressive end vote, Johnny.
It's time to find out the thing you were teasing earlier.
SSG or Twisted Minds, do you actually believe who you got?
I do. I think space station gaming and I'm not, you know,
trying to back game anyone here.
I'm trying to fix able and important position of the prediction contest.
I just think space station has impressed me more with their losses
than Twisted Minds have, even with their wins.
I'm not impressed with the win against NIP.
I think that they, you know, scraped through the group,
so I'm going to SSG.
Space station has to be tired out of that group of death,
but the fires, the fires will bring you stronger.
Space station all the way baby. I got them winning this Christmas. That's not like the same team for me. Definitely see those faces
Man y'all are actually believe in North America so much. I'm so surprised each and never pick a day
It's saying that man. There's a really much more arena, man. It just makes sense to pick above course
I'm not going to give me SSG get in there. It's all top of the day, baby
Got yesterday when it was gentle mates versus ninjas of pajamas there with the game five and
And they've won, and only it's won, or excuse me, Twisted Mines won.
Yep, you said, and you were like, oh, that's fine.
I wanted them, I wanted to see them on the stage.
I want to see them all the way in the grand finals.
Yeah, this is Thanos.
What did Thanos say to Thor?
Right before you eliminated half the universe.
You should have gone for the head.
They should have taken him out then.
Right now it's over, folks.
You've let Twisted Mines through to this point.
It's going to be Twisted Mines for me.
I think they continue on.
That's just, you know, one side,
Twisted Mines on the other, into the sky.
And it comes up twisted my.
Oh my goodness.
I think he's close though.
It's incredibly close.
You can make such a good case either way.
I'm excited for it.
How did you feel about it?
A lot of SSG fans over the years,
and they're going to be the fan favorites in chat as well.
I think we lose our first board with the American squad.
What happens though, folks?
We got to play the matches here.
North America has sent their best to Dickie's Arena.
And yet every challenger in the building
lives in fear of this opponent.
The Space Cowboys of North America, skyrocketing to the heavens.
And yet, this is not the moon they were looking for.
The king of the arena, Brian, to knock them out of orbit.
Diaz wants his revenge.
Houston has a monkey problem.
Only one can continue.
Space Station Gaming versus Wisted Mines.
The man of four word, he's the king of Kiki's arena and Monkey Moons still sits on the floor
in this very stadium.
Trista Mines take the stage.
Space station game, he's trying to do something that no team has done before.
Knocked off the king in his own home.
The space station squad is truly something special.
The only time we've ever seen a retirement
with somebody so desperate to win,
they unretired and actually made it back.
Incredible.
Markyman, two from two, it's a kick.
He's got it.
He's not a hard-down kid.
I'm looking to topple that row.
It's a reason Zach, unre-tired, he had under-finished business.
Look at the D-throne, the king of the world,
Space Station, first on the board, a low-wrap one.
See the predictions as well, Space Station,
Damian out in tough groove, went through it to 10.
Third seed as well, but they haven't lost any admirers.
We saw that EWC run as well.
So much potential for this team,
but what a tough first match.
One of the fancy teams as well, one of the contenders for this World Championship.
Space Station gave me the best possible start.
We know they've got the deep back, but they're breaking the offense as well.
Beautiful setup here from Space Station Zack.
What a powerful box, but I got the nut moment there with a tiny touch.
From Reveal, just to kill it enough for Space Station a full team effort this goal.
2-0 left.
Good start.
Good start for SSG.
They were gonna be nerves.
You'd think you'd be for the NA boys, the rookies,
the new kids on the block, but Saxie 3 is dead.
Sax looking for tasks.
Now reveal with the Pogba's bow!
It's 3-0!
Space station gaming, absolutely cleaning up their back
tier in front of the crowd.
A big question mark remained on their offensive attacks leading into today.
There's definitely no question marks anymore after this.
What a start, Twisted Mines looks straight new look.
Like that's what I'm working on. I've kind of seen a few
ruffles in the camp as well that I look as connected as we'd like to see from
Twisted Mines. I'm not even happy when they
when we saw an Alpo slamming desk after taking out the loaded-time D3 in the
groove stage and not seeing the connection here in front of the crowd either
here in the playoffs. Zax looking to launch them all forwarded.
Our space station looks so comfortable. And as they should shot after shot
finally twisted minds how to make it to third on the other end here.
Possession falls away.
DS takes this one to the sky.
Passed one.
Revealed waiting.
And goes waiting to score.
Four-nil.
For space, there she's come on.
Munchamoon down here.
What is Munchamoon down here?
He's just clean with it.
Now for the attempted save,
but that was Munchamoon.
100 boost on the backboard.
Certainly a saveable shot there, Hercan.
Big mistake.
Double kickoff.
off triple kickoff as well with the close cheat from TRK 4-0 for space station
gaming systemized not showing up to game one no not at all in the way that they
like to you do got to keep in mind that throughout this entire group stage
twisted minds with the offense and heavy team they're playing from a spot
they're uncomfortable in. What's P-Stations for?
What a time to be peeking on the world stage.
P-Stations game in game one.
Twisted minds with no response.
It's in that pretty much scores for Bunch
against any other side in the world and they haven't scored yet.
We've only had two minutes of rock.
There's five on the board. There's about to be six.
I think Stanzo's got to push the magic button here.
It's just the minds of not rocked up through this elimination match.
Lucky Moon.
He's fallen asleep on the throne.
What's going on, CS?
Have a look at the Fleece's act.
Look at Berkhorne's gift, don't tell me.
He's got the reset.
And the pop straights at TRK.
We finally reached the halfway mark of the first game
with six goals to the good.
The space station, the first coming through here, no!
Don't speak too early on this team.
Space Station Gaming, the most comfortable they've ever
made throughout this particular land.
Over one head, Zach's there to stop.
Diaz on the next step. Two minutes on the clock, you're twisted mind.
Continue to trail by six.
It looks like the best team in the world now, Space Station.
I don't know if it's just this device on showing up, but these boys look so comfortable on the board.
So comfortable on the ball as well.
What a touch from Diaz.
Using all his boost and nice demo to relieve pressure.
TRK collects.
They just not finding that link.
The most offensive team.
Perhaps the best offense in the world.
Right there with Falcons.
And they are scoreless.
They can't get through.
Space station 90 seconds left.
Could we get the most dominant game
I've ever seen so far in this land?
With the shooting accuracy, we're getting from twisted minds, definitely leading to that road.
Minute and twenty-two to go here, twisted minds off one answer to the six.
Another attempt taken, a shot on target.
The SSK defense, keeping them in the furthest lead they've ever had.
And you can see the player cans.
Chris, they don't know what's going on.
Diaz's drop is down.
And monkey moon is putting the ball into his own net.
It is a disaster.
For Mina.
That's really not the performance they wanted to put out
whatsoever.
But in the best of seven more than enough time
this team to learn. Final minute of regulation in front of Twisted Mind, they need something
for morale at this point. One pass, over to one, now both edge of the side, almost set
back. Tior can't just enough to clear, but the demo throws FSG into the other end.
What's going wrong for this team? Where's the space station game? Where's the Tristavarcher?
I'd say that we've come to expect. Space station gaming just that good.
That could be the answer here, could be the only possibility with the way they're looking.
See, okay, over the top, deflected.
Not even a chance at a follow-up, just off the backboard.
Muchman's got no boost, and there's got to be another two-sumines attack over.
Look at this, zero across the board. Muchman trying to keep it in.
12 seconds left, space station gaming. Could you walk for a better start?
not even close space station gaming for so long there's been a question mark on
their own land performance days but that is no longer next to their name
a second now it's game one to FSG
speechless absolutely speechless from what space station gaming I've just
produce and don't the crowd love it here in Tiki Zarena home grown SSG in front of all their fans
putting the nerd at rest now I will say these two were faced off once before last time
was in Boston, Twisted Minds taking that 3-1. So clearly SSG have reviewed the take here.
The Twisted Minds is made up of some of the greatest minds throughout
Lina and Europe. Yeah. And plenty of time for this team to correct their
mistakes into that second game. And if you've got to pick up a player from
Europe in a season where Dickey's Arena is the world championships, I
I think Monkimin might be the best player to possibly pick up that goodness me.
What is going on with Twisted Minds?
They have not shown up.
We mentioned that the lack of chemistry.
They look like a frustrated and angry team almost to the group stage.
Not content with how they're playing, how they're performing.
And right now we are seeing a side that looks like they don't want to be out there.
Space station gaming have put them to the sort.
The Twisted Minds has been a little bit off balance as of recent.
This team has been so offensive focused that now when boxed into their own side, they don't know what to do.
And Space Station Gaming, off the rip, has set the tone for this series.
A clear fall to the back court. A double down out follow. All denied by twisted mind.
We need to see a response right here from the Middle East team,
Space Station gaming at home in North America. What a land it's been for North America.
The first game in front of the crowd with one of the home teams,
7-0. It's a party here in Vickie's Arena.
The place is rocking. So many Space Station gaming fans as well. They need to lock you down too.
Couple of team bumps out of a twisted mind.
You thought that would have been where SSG could find themselves with no big clear forces
SSG to retreat a demo of the rotation
Send twisted mind back to monkey learn still wants to be the action is he clears this forward
SSG to collect no boost in the tank. You thought that cuts the play they still go for the wide shot
Silver better start from twisted. They're not 50 hundred goals down
After game one while we saw shot goes on there
What has he got for us to solve the own goal in game?
I mean, also sorry to see huge whip on the backboard as well.
Now both, where's space?
Reset. Once monkeyman on the left just doesn't get any power.
Instead, converts it to a 50.
I'm going to drop down. Where's the middle man?
It's that middle man down there.
He's got all the way back as well.
I'm going to be able to just dance his way down.
Is that going to reset off the ceiling?
Is there a crowd of who's in ours?
A lot of these ways did not moment, but for SSG they are still comfortable in this standstill.
TRK is trying to get this ball out of their side right now as SSG on the other end.
Shut up, Ratunity!
Good-bye, Nix!
I'm gonna have to move the refill now!
It's just swatting absolutely everything it was revealed it was sac- it was sac- it was revealed!
This face station team is so incredibly fun to watch on land when they finally hit that
slow stick because there is no fear in those full team commits.
And that's where teams like twisted minds will be afraid as shot taken, a second shot
could be the answer but SSG continue to turn them away.
TRK first collect.
The question is, where's the first gold CRK backpour?
Cleared once again, spaced out, she came in, then opened it, defense.
That's a problem for Twisted, because they're also scoring seven goals again.
Shot off, zacked, another save, and that's a follow-up.
Ah, the drop here as well, even with zero boost.
They're finding demos, and they're working their way out.
FSG might be the older team right now to get away with some of these things
on zero boosts, which in mind left scratching their heads.
Now ball, fix the pack to the cake!
We're still in line!
I'm upset!
Kick his arena!
There he is!
There he is!
Took a game and a half.
So you get motoring, you get vacuuming,
it fights the first goal for Twisted Mind's office series.
This is a elimination match, this is a low around one.
No second chances.
Space station.
Looking to grab that lead back.
Foreign position here.
He said they're not 7-0 up.
Three minutes in.
One-mines score line revealed by the back corner.
Watch out!
Oh, fuck you, Moon!
The line's thrown gold again,
but it was a beautiful touch in the end.
Gets the OK downfield.
Launches it on target.
It's just tough.
Now, I'm most looking for the shot.
It's always memory of Space Station there, though.
The movement from Space Station on the attempted save.
Zach, the crew though,
is going to make Space Station have the ability
have the ability to reset the positioning as shot comes through.
Twisted mines trying to find the counter attack opportunity,
but SSG just continue to be the thorn in their side.
In the apple as well, straight on to the octane.
Not feeling it, but he might be feeling that shot.
It's a fake instead.
Phil is safe.
Huckaboo.
He's not getting any power on the ball,
and it's cleared away.
Space station so quick to rotate back so quick to turn defense into offense double commit twisted, but they had to
The buff was coming in as well. Now post a touch off with Lisa for CRK
Mr. Mines can just breathe for now. Look at Easter space station. They're gonna leave it still so confident reveal
That truly is the difference maker between these two teams
SSG's confidence in waiting out twisted mines TRK the backboard no double allotted here
instead of the clear for SSG to follow.
Now Poe's huge case downfield revealed didn't get the corner boost so he's just
going to launch a pull but he's launched it straight to his own back.
It's a huge hit! It's a huge hit! Get off there!
The drill was going to kill him down as well.
The world champ on the backboard here looking to lead his team to a win.
SSG continues to power through the defense.
16 seconds now, one line to ascend.
These teams do overtime.
12 on the clock, last attack.
If it's twisted, can space-batchy counter,
right at the death.
Gonna create a little bit of magic fire now.
It's been an easy touch from TRK.
It's gonna find out by one last break.
Hasmuck given it a cross.
Hasmuck given it for one more.
OT.
These two teams have the ability
to be neck and neck in turns and statistics.
but right now it's another story.
The closest they played within that game, too.
We'll see what the pressure brings in this overtime.
Around the corner and a demo of TRK trying to keep this ball in the orange side.
So, I'm all skimmed now, close to my back corner.
It's not about touch in the end.
It's a little bit unconventional.
One of the best 1v1 players you've ever seen,
always looking relatively composed and zooming around the pitches
This is a fast ultimate from that mention man with Monkey Moon.
We're not seeing the communication we'd like to hope for from this team is BS takes the
ball and space station with a time.
Extremely well planned pass off, Twisted Minds, the cut things off with the demo onto the
other end, Zack can have something to say about it, it's center unintentionally, could
be something for SSG to work with here, Twisted Minds, these touches, he's going
in the way that they don't need them to.
Holy moly, monkey mode on the breakout, reset mode, over a wide nobody there to finish.
We'll lock that from Zac, he had no moves, but he knew exactly what reveal wanted.
There's someone close to find the clearance now, though that's a great mark!
Oh, coming off the post and Zac was the only one to read a free backboard.
I'm contestant, who's there? It's revealed.
He's cleared by Twisted Bites. 90 seconds going in the open side now.
This is a huge game for Twisted.
We've got to tie this series up or it's going to get away from them real quick.
Reveal has the opportunity to punish him, he dies, but it passes to Zach Ssg.
Trying to spot each other enough to take a shot, but right now they're playing the possession game.
Zach in the air, allows TRK to the moment to clear it.
They're wide, long shot, but it is safe.
The ice gets one, gets three, and Alpha awaits.
It's a huge pinch to stay stationed.
Relieves all kinds of pressure.
CRK, he's been demoed, reveals right there,
Muckman's gonna wait on wall shot on safe,
where he is, there he is.
Reveals, look at the turn,
he's gonna leave the sack instead.
Space station, this is a great offensive set for them,
it's on the backboard, it's uncontested,
it's a fight to sack to the triple.
Oh!
It's wide!
SSG breathing his diet relief momentarily.
Twisted mind's trying to make the follow up here.
They continue with pressure, but SSG recollected themselves just in time.
Niasz, Niasz, Niasz, who is on TRK with a corner boost.
He nearly left them and completely undone at Monkeloon with the double.
Support shot, it's Xax to touch off with.
Stand, he waits, Niasz to beat to the ball by TRK.
The 50 comes through, they're on the corner,
it's going to be all for the twisted minds.
They're about to get out via passing option, but they just let them out again.
Space station.
Don't have the same amount of possession. They were allowed in the first two right now.
Spisted mind, getting closer and closer to this net.
Monkey Moon kicked off the play. TRK full commit.
Now we're going to have to race back to save this quality will.
Nice 50 as well.
He's not lost TRK.
the arcane. It feel battle so important that Bruce Battle song for this well he's
act he's up top he's got a really sad to rise it up there
the most covering it reveals gonna back off those is a member of twist of
March for the clear they're getting a great look at this that though
twisted just panicking at times but keeping it alive yes with an extremely
solid here I said she looked in it stay in this other end but it has been
and so back and forth, finally an attempt.
Neville off the side, SSG just to send back.
Can anybody find this ball and hold on?
This is the most well-covered pass
we've ever seen there, Space Station double mid.
They both wanted it.
Ripian wants the goal.
He's blocked again.
So much pressure on that rotation
that Neville comes through.
Sack up the shot.
Sack misses.
There it is!
You're my champion of the hour!
There is one man with a plan to keep this team in this overtime. It is him!
Now onto the flip side.
Napa denied this ball up into the air. Monkegman sends it back to Orange.
Why the challenge after the other?
Which is to slow to fight each other.
Now SSG on the counter!
Off the backboard!
Oh my god! The line!
It feels like a matter of time for Space Station.
looks to getting better than better than backboard. He can be more of a contestant or they're going to leave their own dead open.
CS somehow dodges the demo, that could have been disaster. Here he is, the signature from
CS. He's actually found a teammate, Munchy, but that's gone!
And he skips it, I thought he might have missed.
CS goes out one-four at Munchy Moon. He can just play the slow dribble,
but where is teammates where is the support behind? You can see Zac looking for bumps,
You can use it on the backboard.
Five minutes into this overtime in four regulated games.
This has become a marathon.
These touches, pixels in them.
They could separate these two sides.
It's game two, five and a half minutes gone now.
Diaz wants corner boost.
He's actually missed boost that ball.
This is my commitment.
He's looking for an outflow.
He's going to take it slow and take it low.
set a pinch it up the wall TRK three jumping.
Hunkie been working as well.
Chris is trying to set up their own version
of the space station attack.
We've seen all over time long TRK reset.
One more!
And your receive will be the tip down
for what they do in here.
Now for the challenge.
ASSG.
They are truly the ones to beat.
Here goes Sam.
Can't convert again!
Most of all, it's safe right now!
This is ridiculous!
What do we win this evening here?
They wanted to crowd at the World's End!
This is it!
Show them how it is done!
They've been cheating the game in!
Have clasps!
Three of the best players in an overtime!
With a performance like that, the whole world has got out of your backs.
That game as well just felt like it was worth two to both teams, both sides.
11 minutes, 15 seconds of game time.
And it's Zack, finding the left-hand side of the net behind both defenders from twisted minds.
On to young and old here, Maki Mou finally got the first goal on the board of the series for Twisted.
And then we saw six minutes of overtime before Zach locked in and had a look at the pop-off from the stage station boys.
I feel like a pop-off isn't even a good enough way to describe how insane this truly is.
Let them know how you feel, guys, twisted minds, forced to call a timeout.
If you're a loss in a six-minute overtime, a space station squad, like I said before,
all eyes had been on them.
If they were going to be able to improve here in front of the crowd for so long, they
They've just been known as top three defensive team
at this world championship.
And now they are looking like the number one offensive
strikers in the world.
That's a thing we had.
Offense versus defense, we had Twisted Minds,
the best attack in the world on one off
against one of the best defensive teams
in the world space station gaming.
They rely on counter attacks.
They scored seven in game one
and Twisted Minds who scored for five,
they usually win six, five, five, four.
It's easy finding the back of an M for them.
The defense is a questionable thing.
They've scored one goal in two games of Rocket League.
It's all so difficult for them right now in space station.
Gaming are looking like the team that are the experienced one.
Looking like the team that have
South World champions on their side.
They definitely came into this series with a plan.
Twisted minds throughout this week have had Napo
at the forefront of their play style
And that has clearly not worked out for them.
And SSG took note of that.
Stopped them and slowed them down.
And now, twisted minds, scrambling in a timeout
to find an answer while SSG is on the road
to a triple match point.
Two more for SSG.
Nicky has to lift the roadblock.
Ness joint.
And North America for Bree, the side of her leaf,
knocking out Monkey Moon from his own palace.
He's called his own kingdom and he's called his own.
The last two times we've mentioned him for the world champions,
here he is with the early shot at Malpo.
He's out of the book in 11 seconds.
Time out buff confirmed, are they back is the question?
They continue to play like this,
they absolutely could be a monkey,
but now both spotting each other off the side
while the most communicated passing player
we've seen in quite some time.
The most successful?
It's about time we saw an early goal from the team that we expect to score for fun.
Can they build off? This is the question. Space station gaming.
I have to find that equalised answer.
Demo played. We saw the offensive demos that they produced, even against Falcons as well.
It leads to a win, but they've had seven in the series, which is incredibly high number.
and still will be for more aggression.
They found themselves in a deficit right here though.
In game three, he didn't mount, they come back.
Monkey Moon trying to find an opportunity for his team.
TRK next up on the line.
This team continues to have this ball taken away from themselves
but Monkey Moon might have spotted slow roller on net.
Slow rollers don't convert against a team like this.
like this, Diaz.
Oh, there it is.
Shut up!
Oh, my God.
This is ridiculous, from Diaz.
Look at the delay, touchdown to the roof.
He waited for Monkemu to commit.
Then he gets the reset.
He beats all three and twisted by himself
and opens up the net.
Not once, but twice.
Does that mind game force twisted minds into a double
commit.
And nobody was able to touch them.
Now fall. On the attack, he is paying for follow. Couple of demos of on in the backlight but all of SSG is there. Monkey Moon just trying to keep this fall on the other side.
DS is looking. Outstanding, there's a free backboard but...
I suppose there, that's who won.
Testimidive space, that third man is always safe.
Always deep enough, just in case that big clearance comes through.
Haven't let in any freebies just yet.
Not trying to kill us them at all.
Here's the shot off the backboard. Where's the bomb?
It's missed! That's a big mistake!
Is that the gun?
This is a bomb!
Three times is the charge!
This team is not afraid of a fastball, and they are not afraid to commit that is what has been separating them apart so well against this twisted mind roster.
In the amount of time that SSG is so confident in following each other on twisted minds on the other end though, looking for the pass all denied by CS.
Look at that first goal, but it's still just two goals for the series.
The Twisted Mines, the recent, that just demoed the passing option, it's so smart.
From Space Station, this is why they're one of the best defenses in the world.
They're not worried as much about the guy on ball.
It's about what he's going to do, who he's going to pass it to.
We're in the options for them, and they've been covered in time and time again to reveal.
It's looking to cook, it's watched well by now though.
That's why I see the road there with no boost.
That boosts trouble. It has no prominent for Twisted.
They're not really looking out for each other in that department.
Not delaying their rotations.
In fact, they give each space station.
They give it a 1v1 up, up into space.
DS has opened it up!
A little bit of a clip in a high shot, but still pressure is with SSG.
Now Twisted Mine's on the return.
Can they collect this?
TRK throws it back and back.
Monkey Moon with an opportunity in the center, TRK leaves the deployment, they get caught!
Now it's a little mistake there from Space Station.
He's so settled in deep advancement.
Now we're getting on into this massive center, fatigue setting in.
How strong is the mantle?
How strong is the resilience?
Against a two-time world champion, Monkey Moon.
Pops it up, 90 seconds left to twisted a finer goal, and they open the net.
With the pump, with the shot, bar down, there it is, full, oh, shoot, boy!
You talked about the fatigue starting to set in, twisted mind, only saw
game 5s in their series throughout the group stage.
And they want a full, full send here
in the series, but SSG, looking like they might have to force them to reverse sweep if it comes to it.
Just over a minute to go.
TRK, no opportunity to touch that ball. It's got its reveal on target.
I think the cameraman was trying to fool us there, thinking that might be a chance on there.
Now if I had this all hang on, that's a huge challenge from Zach.
Looks scary.
Now we're trying to fake this one, but TRK still low boost though.
We missed a fatigue in the moment. Neal, it's only game three.
We had a six minute overtime. We had a six minute, 11 minutes of gameplay.
for the heart rate going at 200 BPM.
That's enough to tell anyone out.
36 seconds there's the shot, it's well covered.
Two men on the call to keep it out.
30 seconds for men for twisted minds
to find the back of this neck.
Zack, in the air,
half a second worth of research is done.
They station gave in.
They found their insurance.
And it is a time for the new blood.
It's a go for Maki Moon, the instant reset to see the reaction as well.
It's just not happy for Twisted Minds.
This is going to be a three-nil scoreline.
This is going to be triple match, but a reverse sweep, the only outcome for Twisted
Minds where they can be happy with.
And even then, I feel like they want to be happy.
The Space Nation have been all over them the other time.
That's a fall down this team from Mina.
They're just ahead into MagFind.
Space Station Gaming.
They looked at that goal and they laughed.
Truly the best performance we have ever seen
out of this team on LAN, online.
In open four, we watched Space Station take down
the Rating World Champions in NRG.
And they look at Twisted Minds like no other.
Just another team to take down on the road
to Championship 40.
Got well-rounded that teamies as well.
Just looking at the stats, everyone involved.
Not a real standout.
Diaz was just fantastic, Zach had his moments, he scored the sealer reveal, putting up an
MVP performance on the scoreboard as well, and that might just be telling.
That shot over Monty Moonherk, they're about to dethrone the champ, send him home and
completely blow open this world championships.
station gaming one away you can see it and you can feel it in their energy how
bad they not only need this but want this twisted minds how to pull off the
lock-in of a century here to slow it down a team of young youngs in straight
flow state. It's a nearly bit of best performance of this team's career, this
team's history, space station gaming. I know that NRJ, the reigning world
champs, for when you come back to Dickey's arena it's monkey man, it's all
about monkey man. That's what this whole week's been about. Could it be
going home in this game.
Utah for your color.
Sam, it's another missed out vote.
You see that much space to work with.
And how many times can they have these chances?
There's no one in the middle either.
Here he is again now, but it's been so quiet in this series
as well.
This DRK bit, here he is.
There's the bonus.
The king himself has spoken, willing to commit
on the plate, two touches, and a full up shot.
They've twisted minds and early lead, but the bigger question is how long does it last?
Well, this is probably a 50-50 matchup, but surely it didn't look like a 4-0 on paper, not a 4-0 to Space Station.
It still could be here, but Twisted at the best possible start. They scored thirsty Gang 3 as well. Didn't work out for them.
Let's see what Diaz can cook up space station with a lot of time and a lot of demos or it's
okay.
She's going to touch those bombs.
Diaz doing an incredible job of being that initiator for this squad.
He has a little bit too far forward on it.
Gonna have to play, keeping this ball pushed up.
Just in mind, get a little bit of possession on this ball, great challenge in the shot.
He just knows the ball straights are much in there, much in there, no through positioning,
through his entire career.
And that is exactly why Griffin shot second on the board.
For the man of Fort Worth.
He's been the best man of Fort Worth.
Space station trying to take him down one step at a time, they'll get lost back!
Such a clean challenge from Diaz.
As soon as he made connect in that air reveal, knew all you have to do is shoot.
It was wide open, twisted minds, their lead cut in half.
It's 40 so much time to space station.
What's the pressure look like on the twist of my side?
What is new coach Denso got?
Just to lock her back in to secure her first win.
What do you mean that's not really
what's set her in defense this entire series.
I was going to hold your breath in that situation
but it's a little awkward.
He's sitting on the back for the ball's low.
Space station, going to keep it in.
See, okay, just launches it downfield.
The Spacestation Gaming not afraid to allow us in mind to take a couple of those wide shots
and really just frustrate themselves in the moment as they shoot through the back of the fans.
This is a tight game for Spacestation Gaming.
All three of the competitors talked about this, DJ.
They are so unafraid of this meaner team.
And I want any of this game five nonsense
This token game went for twisted. They want to end it here
Now to sweep their way through to Saturday sweep their way through to the top eight
Can they do it?
In the perfect fashion
Against one of the best we've seen in the go
And the top here he is monkey moon over two over three. Oh, no
What do we do with space station monkeys, mate? Everyone!
You gotta be careful on this one, space station. That will connect finally.
Finally fit them from behind, revealing your song, cheating up and lurking.
What are your boosts in the take too? But it was just, it was all the wrong way and twisted minds.
Finally they spawned advantage and they take it off.
Oh!
DS takes to the sky.
It's another game where it feels like it's nearly over.
We see it, half left.
Did you see the half-way mark?
Alpo's got to make this one for the shots.
Zach with the save.
We're still looking to keep the ball in.
Muggy Moon does well.
Finder bump.
It's a lousy.
Alpo to come in as well.
He gets one, gets two.
See, OK, just a little close.
Has to find his time.
Has to find the fifth, if it's Zach's rolling right through.
up on if the catch would be to work with the one they want passes off to the
three's chain. But none of it seems to be enough until now!
Twisted mind! So the most effort they had to put into a play finally!
Enough to wear down a space station with two minutes to go though. Seems to be
plenty of time for SSG. It's a matter. See if twisted minds can actually hold
hold on, but genuinely.
You see if the lose about a 7-0
learn against Falcons at EWC.
Though we know that Space Station
is still a chance, but this is better from Twisted.
This is a four Twisted mind style again.
They put four goals on the board.
They worked two in ill of Space Station,
wanted to two-two.
Now the two goal lead once again,
approaching 90 seconds left.
What a Space Station has to Twisted find their first.
Refills got space, he dodges the demo.
He takes to the skies, he looks for the dunk.
It's all covered just under 90 seconds to go here space station gaming desperately
Want to tie this up? Yes off the side? Nobody will follow on the play they start from further behind out mid
Twisting minds working together to Bob and we through the SSG defense
They might have found a little bit of a spot here quick cut from monkey moon, but no boost in the tank
One tries to send it back with SSG unless they can find their way out the time.
We'll get away from them.
It's lovely for a monkeyman once again and it's an open FBTRK.
Five, two.
They're finally going to get a game win on the floor.
All I'm going to say is at the end of the day these three players are still some of the best on the planet.
A three-fold lead, a twisted mind, trying to make it four.
A shot, just high.
Speed from T-ass, 40 seconds left.
This has just been a big, kitsch monkey, but in-game though, he's looked fantastic.
He's been player after player from Sway Station.
He's opened up the net for his teammates.
He's starting to warm up, maybe the old boy.
The two-tongue, Niki's arena champion,
two-tongue world champ just needs a few games to get motoring.
Here's the clearance, we've only got 20 left.
I think they've done enough for one.
SSG all taken down for the first time in this series.
10 seconds on the clock.
And on the wrong side of the field,
space station, looking for one more to just
give themselves a boost of confidence.
for Twisted Minds. They are ready for this series to go the distance.
Well they've certainly saved their best for a very late in the piece, late in the series,
game four and we finally see it. Twisted Minds are offence worthy of being world class, worthy
of being here on this stage. Top 12 match. Five goals. Have a look at the performance
from Mochimune as well. He's put up 733 on the scoreboard. A couple of goals, a couple
of assists. He was everywhere.
And that's definitely what you want to see out of this twisted mind roster. The thing
that have been hindering them for so long
throughout the group stage,
throughout everything that has led up to this point
was the fact that, yes, they had found success in Napo
being that leader, being that striker for that squad,
but being the top three shooter means nothing
unless you are converting.
And finally, after a timeout
and a well-discussed strategic plan,
Monkey Moon has decided to be the one
to forefront the assists,
And that is what led him to his two world championship titles.
Starting to look really composed on the ball as well,
my community.
He looked off mechanically at the start of the series.
We saw some huge mistakes defensively in particular,
but in that match he was looking fantastic.
He was beating multiple members of space station,
and they weren't really respecting him as well
when he did have the ball on his nose.
Game five, twisted.
Can they keep the ball rolling?
Do we head to Neyotar?
Gi-ar is a great start.
Zach with a huge side.
Massive team and a bigger clear off the backboard.
Does SSG find the shot?
Zachy gone to try for the path clear,
but now both try to find the Gi-ar K.
Back and forth, SSG, they wouldn't
take a couple of early shots, but twisted
my really comfortable on the other hand.
The quickest counter you've ever seen!
Monkey Moons just made it to the end.
He said Zack had a shot.
He found the best possible 50 that he could fall on himself
when he had to.
Okay, still rotating downfield.
He stuck around when he's got the first.
Here we go!
Now, go to send this one over into the corner
for Monkey Moons to catch.
We see it, mine.
Starting to look so much more like themselves.
a team that saw two Game 5 series to get here.
Looking to take SSG to seven,
Mokimut off the side and shot from this spot.
Finally an answer for Twisted Minds.
This is getting more effort for space-dancing gaming.
If they drop this, I know that'll be three to unheard,
but as soon as you see Neo Tokyo,
I prefer to be Twisted Minds.
With the momentum, you see that infamous Game 6 map and you think scores a level.
Monkey Moon has woken up, twist the minds, have arrived, twist the minds, a flight!
SSG are going to have to revert back and remember that they are one of the best defensive teams in the game.
Despite all the shots they've been able to take here in this series, what is needed
Is that star power on their end of the field?
They shot Taken to die.
Malpho tried to stick it in as well.
All of SSG, Taken out demo after demo.
Thank you, dude.
Loses that touch.
Here it goes, Zach, with the shot.
They caught him on the counter attack.
It's a space station game, especially.
Such a clean cut from Reveal 2, the top out.
Well planned, well received by the net.
Space station gaming, they've been here before that lead in hat trailing
by one off the kickoff.
TRK hand over to Napo.
Is Monkeyville gonna be up in time? No, they called themselves off.
SSG race back!
to the corner to late, but it goes low pitch, so big snow!
It gives TRK the freest of shots.
The best of chances to the 3-1 score might have a look at the fade into the pop off the wall.
I said, you just completely discombobulated in that moment there.
You saw Diaz prioritize trying to find the boost,
and you just had to reveal it was uncomfortable.
They tried to throw that third man back in there, but he was too little too late.
And now Twisted Minds are up by two.
And we'll keep it in, chew that back for two and stuff, Delpho.
Twisted Minds, finally, laying up to the expectations we all have been waiting to see.
What did Wave Punk say on the desk, Kirk?
You've got to take down the champ, you've got to take the head off.
It felt like there was only the head left.
From Twisted, they've done everything else, Space Station.
But they gave them a look at Game 4.
And now the trade is rolling.
But Twisted, it's 4-1.
Space Station, a great pass.
And there's Loughnack.
A beautiful set up from reveal once again.
The demo from D.A.
Those full team effort players seem to be the only way to break past twisted minds, but they have done it.
4-2 still time for space station. We know Twisted can look vulnerable in a winning position.
Now, but let's get the reset. See our case just having to play a few mini games of dodging
bumps left, right, center, monkey move, looking to just keep this close as possible with the 50
He lands underneath you, Zack.
He's gonna play it slow.
He's gonna take it up top, see RK zero.
Gets around here with me, set the great pass!
Ah!
Ah!
And Steve, doing it!
Space station!
Starting the road to the first stage!
Twisted mines!
They have to really pull them down here
and think they're starting to get away from them.
TRK, over to downflow, downflow tries to play it down slow
from TRK on low boost and monkey man
will play him so long that go for the 50
and run around the defense.
But the play goes slow and almost cold.
It's a nice pass from TIK, but it's well-read.
Space station.
You know what I'm saying? It's the Neo Tokyo.
Look how aggressive the mines are. They're in the lead and they're still pushing forward.
Now, most of them are reset. Trying to fake one.
Start space station three, the touch.
Zach's a little awkward.
Back to the top, he's found the back of the net, but space station new more than us.
Monke Moon. To the wall, 90 seconds left.
Drop down back to Monke Moon. That's the RK who can get involved.
That's to keep it slow. He's the third man.
He's been fucked up.
Possession will absolutely win you this game, SSG, every time they touch the ball they throw it and now back in the hands of twisted minds.
The joint will throw it to the other end though. Monkey Moon opting to play for time just over a minute to go.
Zack wants to find a floater down but nobody from SSG is able to find each other.
The way the space station just hunt that last band they're looking for the fourth goal
They're looking for the equalizer now both looking for the sealer. It's a nice save
Space station every time they get a counter attack to someone downfield looking for a demo. They are the predator
My commune has been the alien of Dickie's arena
It just keeps on showing up. It keeps on winning
But who wins this Titanic low around battle more demos more bumps
The crowd can see just how important every moment is, every touch, inside 30 seconds
Till we head to Neo Tokyo, till we go one step closer to the final game
To game 7, or can Space Station stop them and get that equaliser?
16 on the clock and Space Station are on, the attack ain't down
Through all of us in mind, bunched up on their head, they separate as the shot on the side
The devil denied.
That's it!
The fucking moon!
Bring me on top!
Game 6, here we come!
Such a stellar performing from twisted mind forced to play
at a higher level than they've done throughout this week
in Space Station.
The series slipping away one at a time.
This is it.
This is a disaster.
For everyone else in the tournament,
the way this series is going,
it's not only could you possibly
be keeping that man in the tournament,
The King of Dickies Arena.
Here we're doing it in this fashion,
where it just looks invincible.
Even 3-0 down.
We head to Neo-Tokyo.
One more crack for Space Station
before the champions field.
You can see it in a lot of these replays, too.
The only true times that Space Station
were able to finally put themselves onto the board
was when the team had fully commit on the play,
but that was also their downfall.
Twisted Minds recognized the pattern.
They caught the ball.
They sent Monkey Moon up field.
It was just a matter of who was more willing to step up
and call someone's bluff.
The space station left scratching their heads.
Just one win away from continuing on.
But Twisted Minds and Monkey Moon
We'll always have something to say about it here in Dickey's arena.
I don't know what what he's done to this venue.
The space station looked like they had a 4-0 sweep all been locked in those first three games.
So dominant we saw.
Twisted might score one goal in the first two games.
We saw them just asleep.
But the sleeping giant monkey moon is an absolute cockroach of this arena.
You just can't keep him down.
You can't kill him.
Space station gaming. X-beer.
The next 90 seconds to talk things through.
What does he have in store for his boys for this roster, for the North Americans?
They're still in the best possible position. They've got the game advantage. They're on match point.
But as we inch closer towards that champion, still hurt.
It just looks more and more likely that you can't stop the inevitable.
Space station gaming have only fallen to the best of the best.
A loss to the Falcons in Game 5. A loss to Plarmingport in Game 5.
And now on the road to potentially losing to twisted minds in a Game 7.
Should they find a win here?
This is it.
It feels like if Space Station lose this, it's good like a game servant.
Against the monkey burn, that's 1-3 on the bounce.
Against the twist of minds, it's firing on all cylinders.
All three heads that looked like they were knocked off, they were toppled.
At the beginning of this match, we're all firing.
30 seconds gone.
space station off the time out seeing the play a lot of defense early that's what
they're known for though.
This reminds definitely gonna have to be very communicative in going down the
accessory squad.
Oh!
He's going off the shot but now, well, second to save, keeps space station out of an early lead.
It's a little touch over here monkey man.
He's actually gonna fake this and we've seen this before.
Who's it now for as a hundred boosts?
He just wants you to attack the ball, take it, make it his own.
This TRK now gets the work. It's got Monkey Moon underneath.
It's a double command. He's low-proof as well.
You can see it's a great first touch right now,
but we jump straight away.
Nautilus is a demo. Get to 50. The bait comes through.
TRK! They haven't got rid of the last man yet.
Zack gets demoed for the save.
And there's another shot!
Oh, what a save, Zack!
You can't throw Zack down.
Twisted mines are thing to find those demoes,
but SSG just continued to pop up.
Right now, they have another opportunity.
Monthly man towards the net, all of SSG's playing time.
The patience is what won them those first three games.
Just isolating that third man, those space stations.
Chris, the mines rather than just having to find that demo
would have been 1-0 if Zach was having to second earlier.
He's done so well to keep this at a nil off-score line. Still it's been twisted minds with the strongest start
Space station still looking a touch nerdy and they're losing a lot of these little battles
I like that from revealies grab the corner boost he's pitched just in minds back left
Now boys got the clear down. It's a big one
On the catch here don't finish like the boots that challenge from monkey man
almost quick-swisted mines into their side where they catch from Diaz off the
backboard now, but an unintentional double-keyed-swisted mines at the
forefront of this play.
But it's always going to have something to say about it, it's that space they should commit.
It was much immune in such an office spot he had to jump up the wall, he had Zach bumping him up.
And Refiel finds the back of the net, it was so awkward to see
This is a roll call front post.
Now we're backwards on the wall.
It's very kickoff going through as well.
It's actually a fake.
Now called.
Love the variation from Space Station.
What is the asset for us?
Two minutes to go.
Two minutes to hold on.
In this game, 60 cent.
Twisted Mines out of the World Championships.
Feels like time is not flying by.
Two minutes left and a one goal lead
can twisted Mines by their shot.
And it's ridiculous, fuck you, I'm going to go with the setup for T.R.K.
Gets the bump and the speed from the gun.
One-one.
Twisted minds now playing for speed. Tide game. A quick response.
We're turning into two. Yes, over there. You see the demo on the line.
He's got no power!
He can do it all by himself!
The Brazilian is cooking for North America the recent!
He puts TRK in all sorts and as soon as TRK drops off the sidewall
that's when he knows he's got it!
He can pop high!
And that's unsavable!
2-1, space-measure, what a response!
Twisted minds now faced with a challenge to slow down.
DEI is shot taken towards the neck.
It's just another reminder of how well this SSG
defense is being hauled.
We get long.
Reveal, clear, unveil.
SSG looking to follow.
Earpups revealed from the ceiling and down.
From around 1, it's that's right there.
This is his second touch.
It's going to be first to this.
Pop, Lever and CRK.
Monty Moon don't want to be seen on this occasion.
Minute 15 now, Space Station.
See this story before, but can they hang on?
Briefly for now, though, looking for the dunk,
looking for the dunk.
It's a little disaster, but Space Station,
the demo is huge, though, and they're out.
Misconnect on, as the touch means,
the final minute twisted minds have the opportunity
to continue on if they can get this ball
to the other end, Monty Moon.
Challenged by reveal, it falls to TRK's shoulders
to get this ball out.
They send it back.
They demo.
It is shot opportunity.
I've reflected it so.
The space station gaming will be taking.
It's getting desperate for Twisted Minds.
TRK, 100 first wins if you reach 50.
It's Axe Grab the 100 as well.
Here's TRK.
He fakes money to get the ball through.
The support arrives.
Space station, 20 seconds left.
Can they do it?
Twisted Minds.
They're going to drop the kitchen seat.
Absolutely everything.
15 on the clock now.
Release for the end.
Twist of mind pushing forward.
Zack keeps the ball alive.
Just keeps it in the air.
Just by side.
And now there's only eight seconds left.
Seven seconds.
Space station to crowd.
Will he survive?
Monkey Moon, will it be going on?
It's this.
It's space station.
Get it down.
Space station.
Get that thing on the ground.
Twist of mind still trying to bust the energy.
After everything that's gone on!
This is arena!
Let them know!
They say she's gaming!
She's forced to say she came home!
The throne has been vacated.
after a long time of running the online North American
Gauntlet, there had been the biggest question mark
if they could figure themselves out on land.
And game after game, series after series,
Space Station gaming had done it.
Even in that last game, we saw my community equalize.
We saw Space Station push to the absolute brits
the limit. A twist of mind's theme that hits off form, that threw absolutely everything
at space station gaming at the kids. But is it time for a new era? Is it time for the new kids
on the block to announce themselves, to welcome themselves to the world here in North America?
Let's head down to the floor. Bleak has an interview with space station gaming.
Hey, Dickie's arena, how we feeling about space station?
Got it!
Hey, Zach, I think they like you.
Yeah?
It's so funny because they're so excited.
You walked up here just kind of like hand in the pocket like, yeah, whatever we want.
You're just so calm right now.
But I see a little bit of smile there.
This must be a lot, at least internally, yeah?
Oh, yeah, I mean, I'm so stoked on the inside,
but at the same time, we saw more series of play.
Gotta keep going. Can't celebrate for too long.
Have a little fun, though, at least, right?
Yeah.
I love you, sir!
Thanks for going.
I
Thought I'm real isn't it yeah
Man, I just gotta know in that series though
Just a little bit of talk about gameplay because it looked like you guys were about to lock that series out
Something shifted there. Can you walk me through what happened and how you guys reacted that to make sure you came out the victors?
um game four we definitely got a little overexcited and that kind of blood in a game five a little bit and then
We kind of figured out a little bit and then after game five we were like locked in and we brought that game six
I love it. You guys are stone cold out here. This is so good. Hey man. I just got to say to the fans out here right now
I'm assuming you keep going
How excited do you got anything to say to them right now that they're all cheering for you?
I mean, this is my first time playing for a home crowd. I'm used to getting booed. So it feels amazing
What a match what a performance remember game one
It's not like it turned you go
That was nothing or something an incredible performance is ssg sent twisted minds and
And the faded legendary Monkey Moon home from Dickie's arena.
He's eliminated. The bad guy is no more.
So I'm wondering who the new bad guy is going to be.
Somebody's going to take Monkey Moon's crown.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're going to take his role.
Now that he's eliminated.
But don't forget it to SSG.
They did what we thought they would be capable of.
They deserve to win.
They managed to start off so strong
that there was no way back.
I mean, it was just too far back for Monkey Moon.
and the rest of the Swiss minds to try to make it right.
You have a credit to Space Nation as well as to do it on Neo Tokyo.
Yeah, thank you, Moon. Love it for you.
So, Space Nation, get the job done again.
Dominic came one. Dominic, the game three as well.
The game two is very, very tight.
That overtime winner was caught in the series.
I mean, game two was honestly kind of the series deciding game in my affirmation
because the Swiss minds of the winning that game,
I meant to my shift.
That was a second minute overtime where SSG had all the pressure,
the whole entire overtime.
And there's a little moments where it's just my
mind to start to go in.
That's a big shift in the series.
So the fact that SG was clinical in the battle
was meant a lot.
Do you think they just went that game 6?
You say it's a great game 2.
It was pivotal by game 6.
That was valuable.
I'm sure that that was for me.
It felt like the must win game after the time
I was being used.
I think if SG lose that, it's going to be
even harder to win game 7 with the
reverse sweep in full flow.
But I did appreciate in game 5.
They went down early but they did fight back in that game which gave me hope that they would turn it back around.
It didn't seem like they were completely out of it.
They weren't too nervous even when they scored the first goal on the U of T with Diaz.
He got so pumped about it and then he put in a fantastic shot himself to go up two to one right here by Diaz was a clutch moment.
Yeah, exactly.
And one thing I really do appreciate about this SSG team is they just do not take the most obvious shot.
Every single time they try to mix it up sometimes might take a pop shot other times
They might just really slow things down and bring the ball right back down to the ground 50-50 or even up the kickoff after they score
Zach had the ball he waved that spider ball
You know for a bump like that type of a creativity ingenuity really just
Elevates your offensive plan and that's why I'm just in my estimation. They're here right here right now
Oh, I do want to talk about that game to a little bit because it what it wasn't just incredible
It wasn't just the seventh longest overtime of world championships.
It also broke five world championship records.
Monkey Moon set the record for personal score in a game at 1,070.
One he set the record for most saves in the game at nine.
Twisted Mines set the record for total score at 28-11.
They set the record for team saves at 22.
And Space Stations set the record for team shots in a game at 25.
So James, what happened in that overtime?
How did that incredible record breaking game end?
back. A quick series but then going the distance it really made this game even
that much more important but for this there were a couple themes one close
calls Diaz game sense and punished mistakes the play actually starts out
with twisted minds getting a really quality look here you can see this is
exactly what you want a double commit from Zach and reveal and the ball is
gonna get put right back to TRK. This is a beautiful setup. Look at the boost for
SSG. So TRK gonna make the right call here. He's gonna go airborne, get a flip
reset, go for the pass. And then right here, twisted minds have SSG right where
they want him. If Nubo can get a backboard bounce to Monkey Moon, Monkey
Moon is in prime shooting position to finish this game. But Nubo actually
gets a slight touch on the ball that sends it over the corner. So now
Now opportunity gone by the wayside and this is where we see the SSG counter attack start
to shape up.
So here we go, ball up in the air.
Now the tables have turned reveal going to go airborne.
He's going to go and get a flip reset push past the defense and things start to get
bad for Twisted Mines.
This is the first save that's going to have to come in and you can see here look
at how bunched up the defenses for Twisted Mines.
They are all in the same exact spot.
This is not a recipe for success.
And SSG knows they're in trouble.
So Reveal is just going to try to keep this pressure going.
Keep this ball towards the middle of the field.
And Diaz, he's a smart player.
This is the game since I'm talking about.
He can't see his opponent's boost,
but he knows they are low.
So the best thing to do, control the ball.
Don't put it to the backboard where
Newball can get an easy hit.
And then your play would disintegrate.
But now this is where the mistake comes in.
Monkey Moon is going to miss the boost here.
And that is going to cause a gap in the rotation.
And it's going to be just a big enough of a gap for Zach
to punch.
But another smart play here from Diaz.
Look at where he puts the ball on the backboard.
He sees where Nuboskar is pointing,
and he bounces it behind him so he can't get the hit.
And now this is where it all comes through fruition.
Diaz game sense.
Monkey Moon missing the boost.
The small gap, and Zac is the one to punish here.
He's going to blast that by Monkey Noon, who's
late to rotation.
That was the game winner.
It was an intense overtime, and that ended up
being the difference in the series.
I mean, that's a great play, James, especially,
because it just goes back to what I was talking about.
They won.
They don't take silly shots.
And in two, that was one of the few times in that series
where in that game in particular, where
Twisted Minds actually had offense,
and then they got counterattacked.
They had to scramble and SSG immediately capped a lot.
Yeah, and you see how close it was.
Just imagine if Nubov didn't get that touch after he hit it back.
Exactly.
Could have been game over.
Exactly.
Everything could change all day.
James, thank you so much for taking the time to break it down with us.
We'll see him around for more plays in the future here.
It's just wild, too, because the best players in the world,
they also miss boost.
The thing that is just on the ground, you just have to drive to.
Everyone does it.
It doesn't move.
So it does not matter.
But that could have been the difference in that match completely.
That game was pivotal throughout the tears for space.
We get that early lead and hold on to it just like that. We had five teams from North America coming into today
We still have all five North American representatives here at the world championship and
Gentlemates will take on SSG tomorrow to continue in that lower bracket
One more match on the day for the 3v3s and then no move
He's gonna have to shake off that loss because he has is one V1 title to defend against NAS to close out today
That's gotta be tough like obviously he wants that one to be one title, but he practiced, you know all year for this 3v3
And you have to fall short that is gonna be a difficult test for him and I think for a nasa. I think that gives him a slight
It yeah, it definitely does. I think that's needs that and she's the underdog there, but he's got a ridiculous
You know mental game. He's so strong mentally come back from any deficit
So I'm really excited to put on the one goes that saying I don't give you guys my other
You know since you since you're curious. I'm I serious that all five NA teams will make
Yeah, I do think so. I'm not going to be with you guys for the next desk
But I'm expecting Shopify to win that one. I think we're gonna have
Self-aid and you can fact check me later. I'm not just I'm not just trying to pay you here
I'm not happy gaming. I think it's gonna be Shopify or Vitality wild year. Wow incredible incredible folks
Well, the surprises keep coming here North America defending their honor on North American soil
We're like a quick break when we come back Zen takes to the pitch against first killer Shopify a rebellion versus Vitality is next

Oh, okay, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
No.
I gotta blow in the cartridge.
Again, like no cartridge,
But you'll need a username.
Username, huh?

Third time's the charm! LJ does it again!
I don't know what to do. They won't stop!
This is rockin' late!
One final match of the 3v3 bracket left to be played here on Friday before we get into the 1v1 Grand Finals for 2026.
Welcome back to Dickies Arena. The Rockling World Championship continues on. The surprises continue to come through and honestly North America is thriving right now.
Yeah, they can't stop winning it's incredible. I mean this crowd is in for a treat and things are gonna go on as they are
We've already got what three of the the instant qualified top six already there from America as well
So yeah, what time to be North American?
I mean, it's been a lot of years of RLCS and this is the best North America has ever done in its warrant
But they got to finish the job. They do got to finish the job and the remaining
competitors of gentle mates and then more notably beam Falcons
Harming core vitality. It still seems all but anything nothing is certain at this point.
It's nothing is certain at all. I mean by telling you they got people building here over here in
the lower end. They got handled their business first qualify for Saturday. Got a couple of teams
already made it. They do. They do. But Saturday is coming up very very shortly for all of our
team. So the players already it's time for the final three three match of the day.
Introducing first Donald Flusside, representing North America!
They take the scams of World Tests, now they begin their march toward the Redux!
They are Shots of Pyramphalia!
number two North American seed by a measly one points behind and RG. They just battled
in the same group and we're going to get the better of them. But their day one was kind
of held them back and it allowed them to get the number three seed out of this group.
But they're here to right those wrongs and move on in the bright. I mean, that's the
big question for shot for our building because of course, when they go because NRG or G twos
of the old, I'm talking about the FKLJ core, they usually do well and they can
But it's when they start playing international boards, it's when they start struggling.
A little bit, my first killer, give talk about it.
Yeah, if you play fantasy rock, if you want first killer on your team, he leaves the side.
For the past seven years, it feels like he knows how to pull up numbers.
He's just never gotten that win yet, but it would be a perfect time right now.
Yeah, it goes for his best close results.
You can see that top eight win this series, and you're back to at least that.
I'm liking what I'm seeing, this freedom here from Shufflefire belly.
I'm waving to the cameras, the big deal.
I mean, finished top eight last year with the H&P boys who just moved on further.
He's gonna want to follow them.
He's trying to keep it up, keep up that consistency here at the 2026 World Championship Rebellion.
Locked in here as the North American representatives in this match.
On the other side though, a team draped in gold.
and introducing their opponent on the urin side, brisk for sitting hero.
They are the pride of the Golden Hornet, the carry of the storm.
They are...
They send an absolute
I mean you heard them coming out because they're going up against North American squad
But even the North Americans got respect. I mean everybody's respect is in remember when his first all CS land in North America in Boston
It's picking up or somebody else who won a month America land. It's got in the middle exotic two years ago
So, look and move, bow it out, Xotic still here, world championship MVP gives.
And Sisi joining the squad as well to elevate the offensive approach for them and honestly,
both him and Xotic looked fantastic yesterday.
Both of these teams on both sides, group stage one, they slipped up.
Both teams did not look like themselves, they fell short, but yesterday both of them were perfect
the group stage they just couldn't make up that ground that they had from their first day so they
fell a little further into the group stage. Yeah, but how does he get into the tactics he
developed against Wildcard? Is that the tonic that they needed? Hopefully, if we see a return to
form, I say that maybe the people in this room would disagree to be there, but I want to see a
close match here. I think that the last match we saw with with Twisted Lines, it could have
been a blowout, it wasn't. We get to see that real game seven, that real close overtime
to anything. I mean it could potentially happen. I think both these two teams are pretty
Evenly match. I mean you got two superstars and first killer and then respectfully and then you have two quality players
Backing them up helping them out and really both these teams the engine of the team and their superstars was in zone
But how he's playing really well, and it's up to the exotic beat
Planet best ball, but also for Kofur and that's and a chopper billion is on him to really help our first kill
Yeah, and we talked about on the first touch award show the all the RLCS teams
Yeah, it's a personal both on it because they need these guys so well
But it's about the people around that are they're playing well which both teammates did on both sides yesterday
Then they can literally beat anyone in this for the vitality of our mates the belly and took down and our gene
So both teams have figured it out after that first day now comes down to a head-to-head match today
The question is on the third place to the most exotic you had that frankly shocking first day
He was and I'm sure he'll admit it really bad
He played better since that improving and also LJ like I don't have to rebellion. It's gonna look like quiet, too
You know, I want to see this boy. I want to see him really pick take a match on his back
I haven't seen it for a long time. Yeah, but LJ right now number four goals for games to that one goal per game
So he is cleaned up a lot of the shots or rebellion first killer
He's a facility off the offense side as long as he is follow up the rebellions
Well, there was nowhere close to the grand finals in 2023 when he won the offensive MVP of the world championship
He's an absolute force to be reckoned with.
Let us know if you think he can get it done here against Vitality and the progressive fan vote.
Cole, Vitality or Shopify?
Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to be any combination today,
but I predicted Team Vitality on top of this to win this thing,
so I'm going to have to stick with that.
I'll go Vitality, but I'm not so sure I'll win this.
Not too confident.
I mean, come on, guys.
It's Zen.
It is Zen.
But it's first.
But it's Killer, baby.
That's my favorite.
all of broccoli get me rebellion put them on the board first goes gonna lead
the truth to sad I mean it would be absolutely fantastic of all five in 18
making two Saturday I mean a first for everything yeah not a first for
everything this time around no first go around give me Zen give me by sound if
you I like them I like I love this rebellion squad they've been doing so
Well this season and yet Zen has continued to be at the top of the board
I don't know how he wasn't at the number one on any of your lists this morning
That was the only thing was fraudulent about that list just seemed think and exotic look better yesterday
I've been I've ever seen then then he's looked the whole tournament. Give me vitality man. Give me vitality here
On the other and it's gonna come up for the rebellion
And then on this side of the plate, something's in the air.
Something's in the air for a billion.
We'll see if they can get it done.
But Vitality might.
It just, I'm still dreaming of Vitality,
which is coming for in the finals.
Even now, with all five North American teams.
I think you got a great place to talk about that.
I've been about that a lot, but we'll see, we'll see.
We'll see.
These are fantastic.
These are amazing teams.
You're split down the middle as 60% favorite Vitality.
Ladies and gentlemen, rockin'ly fans around the world.
This is the type of match.
You pay the price of admission to watch.
We've sent three teams home today,
and still one more must join their ranks.
The Rebels refusing to accept the status quo,
singing in the face of power,
versus the single greatest pilot ever
to dominate Rocket League airspace.
First killing, still hunting, exotic, returning,
Zenton conquering another arena.
It's Vitality versus the Rebellion for Championship Sunday.
to reach out.
Oh, a lot of 3V3 matchups a day.
Four North American teams are still in this tournament.
A fifth would look between them tomorrow
here at Dickey's Arena, but Vitality
stayed in their way.
They want to treat a super star showdown
Zed versus Burst Killer.
Zed already claimed the title
of world champion Burst Killer.
He hasn't got the international RLCS
RLCS land win yet? How about worlds for the first one?
Hasn't been the prettiest tournament for really either of these teams
My expectations for the both of them because of the leaders on both of these squads
Send his incredible rookie rodent first killer his
many almosts
Trying to find his way to get his first one and then trying to find a way to get back to the top
You send the start immediately challenges vitality on offense vitality pressing early
Part of which can be grabbed as well really nice touch by no one there to follow it up. You can see the boosts for those continue
Then I'm gonna go for a buck well dodged by Coford
dizzy
Couldn't get there in time and that will relieve some pressure, but it's right to the hands of Zen once more then getting a
Lot of the action on ball in the first minute
First killer with a nice catch.
Move the ball down, field himself, make sure it air roll, forcing Xen to have to make the stop.
Another demo, Stizzy taking LJ out, giving a little more space.
Back to Xen. Xen underneath it, and it's saved again.
We've got Xen then first killer, then Xen again.
You can see Rebellion continue to punch the ball away right into the hands of Vitality.
Now shooting opportunity, the bounce shot is saved by first killer.
Rebound for Stizzy.
And another demo this time, Zen kicking out First Killer.
Vitality, they are a physical team.
They demo every single team they play against.
This is something rebellion has to fight against.
There's rebellion, one shot, but that's
all they're going to get.
They concede the midfield immediately.
That ball skips away, and I'll show you guys the clear.
Zen, big challenge.
Denying the corner boost.
Composure right now for Vitality.
A little bit of space for rebellion.
Can they work with it?
with the first killer. Oh, dribble!
And he strikes first! First killer!
Oh, my! And they double up easy!
He cut it down and saw it!
Absolutely does it on the play.
The first killer could see it in the whole way.
He knew exactly when to make the cut.
So it's first kill.
Putting the first ball in the net.
Ended up with the crossover.
Exotic's ankle is broken on that one.
Despite the early pressure for vitality,
Vitality it is rebellion that are on the board first
Sonic
Lot of question marks have been on him this week. He had a much better day yesterday
They'll need him to continue to perform today
Send coming straight down and the shot from exotic was denied
Be a little wide Stizzy
We bumped out of the way LJ doesn't have a lot of moves and no bit too foreign
You can see go for trying to pale them out a little bit of confusion cost them
some field position the first killer actually challenged out again vitality
able to contest the big field the first killer off the ceiling towards the net
first kill of the drop down and a good safe. Don't commit button it is a nice 50
and now a demo the counterattack is on exotic hoping to get 50 here does kick
out the Zen who will turn that nice control getting that ball up the wall
now off the ceiling that's denied though by Kofur another booming clear
And both teams seem just willing to give up the midfield and defend for their own third.
Rebellion trying to cross against the goal line as well for a demo that don't connect.
And even here, Zeng won't just dribble it near the ceiling.
Come straight back to the pass, won't happen.
Kofor gets demoed. Pretty hard anyway.
Xhota took him out.
Oh, Zeng went a couple demo on Kofor and LJ.
But first kill on...
First kill on Xhota!
Xhota will be seeing first killer in his nightmare to this rate.
First killer!
Scattering down to Donic, he says,
I've been here before, and I've done it again.
He's done the whole way down field.
He deleted both of his teammates, and you think,
well, first killer, he's going to be able to buy time,
but he actually got a free ball,
and a 1v1 just like both of his teammates,
not even being on the field.
Here he goes again, first killer.
Coming across.
He's popped up again, rebellion.
We stood that early vitality pressure,
Vitality pressure what's busy keeps it coming threaten the ball, but exotic shot immediately denied by first killer another first-killer
Say he's doing it all on both sides of the ball first killer
He is really living up to the height right now
Where's that he doesn't
Okay, that's much out
Cofurn if you settle down there first killer had it is LJ
Over to first killer, first killer to LJ.
High pop, first killer goes again.
LJ comes across, but he won't get to the ball.
He will try to knock it away, unsuccessful, cut back in.
And Copers just been sitting back third man.
Wonder when he's gonna play, first killer coming back in.
And has another save before the flick really commences.
So if I tell you how it's done with your last back,
now there's big stop for first killer,
but I tell you, I think from Stizzy,
he'll take this to the wall.
Now up to the ceiling, ceiling doubles denied by Kofir.
Great low boost play from Rebellion on defense.
The team defense is really answering the call.
Send, grab the reset, first killer.
Lead it back to Kofir.
Looking for a third goal, save.
And knocked away.
There's no time left for Vizal to hear.
They need to go with time left on the clock.
But they have been shut down in game number one.
And first killer is all over this four card all over the field in game number one rebellion will take it
Vitality had possession
You think have the pressure in the beginning, but this is one of those games
Where a single player can take matters into their own hands
We said it was a superstar showdown between Zen and first killer
Well, it was first killer was landed the first blow is all over the place
I mean that first minute it looked like it was going to be the Zen show. At the start we had
full field air dribble from Zen, full field air dribble from first killer, and then Zen tried to get it back and then first killer.
Well he scored that first goal and he never looked back. Zen even when he took himself off off go get a demo on this play.
First killer had already taken the ball away and was scoring on his net. So first killer completely neutralizing this entire vitality squad.
Yeah, but even still Kofor that in the final moments really good low boost
defensive play that he was able to make all-around team effort there for rebellion
but first killer yeah he was head to shoulders above everyone else in that
lobby finding ways to get in that 1v1 situation and come out on top and
particularly exotic exotic was in those situations where he was the one who had
to stand up against first killer wasn't able to withstand first killers
ability and we see a very nice start here for shop by rebellion but I will
say 14 Vitality. They did well. Getting past that first layer of defense from Shopify Rebellion,
being able to maintain control of ball, maintain possession of the ball. But now we're going to
have to see if they can finally break through. And Will Zett being able to do what first killer just did.
They may need Zett to do just that.
He said, though, there's also a couple of opportunities for Vitality that weren't able
able to close on the defense from rebellion.
Sure, in the first days of the tournament,
it's going to see rebellion at their highest level.
They struggled in the group stage to really dominate.
They encapsulated a great performance against NRG.
Building on that right now, getting a bump on the backside.
First kill of holding on to his foot
to try to generate something.
Zen gets the clear in the air with a reset
bumped out of the play.
Nice job.
You're either going to get ball or body.
Next time, the body is that making sure
you couldn't follow up on that play.
Rebellion defensively.
Very solid so far.
Another 50% back to the corner.
Stizzy was getting off the wall.
Exotic also close by, but L-Chain.
That 50 goes back up for Stizzy.
Shot on target, denied.
Coper in the way.
L-Chain up to meet it.
They actually get the clean touch.
will be exotic next up Vitality, holding the ball back to Zen, to exotic, exotic low, double-touch, and first call has to come!
Oh!
Try to dive in, but there's no shot.
Another close call by Vitality, one-leaf team passing, another good look.
They're not able to get it, they can see the control that first killer has, making sure that that ball doesn't rebound in a shooting position.
But still, Rebellion barely holding on, this is a lot of pressure to withstand, and now, they finally sit home to it!
Team Vitality are on the board.
Well, every defensive touch was closer for First Killer,
but then he's got to try to keep that touch,
and he just could not get there,
as it popped right to him.
And Vitality will absolutely take it.
Been a struggle to find the net,
but good pressure finally finds a good goal.
Will it be enough?
Rebellion.
So first killer very capable in that first game but still lots of possession
before vitality a demo from behind will take Zen out if some breathing room
you can see plenty of boost here but don't be slowed down at all turn up a gap
present to move in. Zen, go for a bump. First killer dodges it but also doesn't get the ball
it is chaos back there. First killer getting bruised and bumped. Zen putting another touch
A little bit more on this ball, but this one's away from him, LJ.
Time for the air travel up, forces the 50 back to first killer.
First killer off the ceiling, first killer going towards the net.
Note up for him, he's in, knocks it away.
LJ tries to close the gap.
Coford sitting on the midfield has to avoid another bump.
First killer's on his left, but Coford will take it himself.
First killer has support, but LJ will take this one.
Coford tried to plant a flag on the orange half.
Not gonna happen this time.
Rebellion slowly get pushed back to the blue.
I like that idea from Kofir. He lands that bomb.
It's been a scoring opportunity there for Rebellion, but like how he saw it coming.
However, there's a demo from behind, Stizzy taking out this time for First Killer.
First Killer looking for Kofir for support.
Kofir takes it up in the air, exotic up.
Lepry set around and First Killer's there. Going for the double!
A big tight save from Stizzy!
So Stizzy just stuck himself on the top of the net.
of the next-dare first killer to try to double top that.
Excellent positioning there from Stizzy.
He'll try to force that 50 into a spot where Vitality
couldn't play with him instead.
Ensured that his team could get the same.
Still happen to play more defense.
Drive to the corner from Stizzy.
Actually, he goes back out of the way.
Then, floating back in.
Shoves, gets a touch out of it, but LJ scoops it out.
Gets a post.
And first killer can't be there,
or Gopher can't be there.
Excuse me, first killer was downfield.
And Gopher will stop it with a pass,
but first killer can't go.
Check that back pass there from LJ though.
This is a high speed game.
The entertainment factor is there.
Zed going for the dunk.
A nice clear out to the corner.
It's not about what he do.
Light pop, trying to make it awkward for the defense
does get the boost steal.
It's dizzy, and into the corner.
It's a 50 through, or for another,
didn't bump LJ either.
Well done by LJ to get that ball out.
With the reset as well, Kofur,
full support, got the catch.
Just trying to force it.
Zed, heavy touch.
allows first killer to get a solid 50 back to LJ.
He loses this, but still makes it difficult.
Then has a great first touch, has the reset for a second,
and it's knocked away by first killer.
A little bit of an awkward reset there.
Definitely wasn't exactly to plan for Zen.
White Talon here in a situation
where they just need to burn time.
Rebellion really hunting for this.
LJ diving with no boost.
First killer by himself,
he's gonna weave his way around exhausted.
Zen. Great touch again.
Didn't need to take a 50.
LJ ended up flying right by him.
Kofa makes sure that they can't get the corner boost.
Rebellion.
Much possession as he had.
You gotta get a shot on target.
LJ lost it on the reset.
Spizzy as that saved.
LJ steals the boost.
LJ.
All places are qualtz.
Kofa's got nothing.
He's sat there anyway.
Three by the first killer.
That's the worst shot first killer could have hoped for.
And Vitality will get a clear first killer with two yellows.
Kofa with another try.
And it's just too heavy too much ball still in the air and still exotic
He put it on the ground first kill will try again from his own corner with no loose
Copa he's got some of the tank but challenged again. LJ keeps it going
Still vitality have to find a way to get this ball onto the ground and then we'll do it vitality even the school
That is how you do it get close to the ball hover right behind it just above it as well
They'll force that ball to the ground.
Zen getting the job done in the final seconds.
Shot by Rebellion.
We're pressing near the end of that game.
You saw first killer landing a few demos.
Taking out that defensive backline demos.
I believe Pavel Rebellion in that game, but still.
Vitality.
It was a cling to that single goal to get this game win.
First killer unable to come up with that touch,
but right before that touch, he had three touches
to save another shot from Vitality going into the net.
In that first game, Vitality had some similar pressure
in the first half, unable to come away with a goal.
This time, they do, and then holding on to that one goal
lead despite rebellion being the ones,
applying pressure for the majority of really the back half
of that game.
And they were just unable to get anything going.
Couldn't hold onto the ball to block it,
slipping out in front of them.
So hard to maintain pressure in the third
if you can't get back to your fifth.
But at the same time, Trevio is a little similar to game one.
Vitality was able to press shop by rebellion,
limit their possession.
The difference was, in the last game,
first killer with those limited opportunities,
with those 1v1 situations, was able to come out on top.
Didn't find himself in any of those opportunities this game.
And so team Vitality can look to continue marching
on possession game there.
What else was different then?
He didn't really go ahead of the play at all that game.
Game one, he was doing that.
And I think he's going to put himself more in that support role
to make sure that that doesn't happen again.
First killer, if you want to get by the last man,
you're going to have to go through me.
Well, Jay and Kofir are going to have
to add to this offense for rebellion.
Kofir has been doing a brilliant job
making defenders miss in the midfield with his resets.
LJ, no poos, but it's a malware they're hitting now.
Set up for LJ and first killer strikes hard.
Smart fake here as well.
Look at this, LJ goes up, mails out.
The defender not quite sure who's going to do what.
And a nice read as well. Placing that shot.
Far post and Rebellion are up to an early lead.
After being outscore all this all game too.
Nice pinch that he sent.
Exotic catches, first killers attempt to clear.
Stizzy was not expecting a non-touch there from exotic.
He was covered off the ceiling.
Stizzy tried to run around double.
First killer was right in the back.
Good pass.
We got another time rebound, but LJ will hook it back to the corner still sent.
Gives the corner boost.
Great agency.
With an X, another touch.
First killer squeezes the ball out.
Rebellion are trying to buy a clear right now and finally get a lay out.
And not the best hit there.
Really giving it to the defensive rebellion, which was struggling for boost. I'm sure it's gonna want that one back
Then we'll lay off screen there first killer. We'll get a free midfield boost
Get a free touch and miss the reset
What an awful lot of the time a little bit of info that we need it shakes back out here for also
Desi you get back to it for double. Yes, then nail it down to the corner first killer
Great control, brings it out to the center of the field.
50 over Zed, first on the scene.
Back pass again from LJ.
We've seen him do that before.
LJ's so confident that Kofa will be there.
Great ball.
Great ball for first kill.
It didn't have any boost.
He was forced to send it.
Zed with a great catch.
Still, Rameleon able to shuffle that ball out.
Shot of Zed!
Oh!
Oh, coming!
And LJ gets the goal!
They can see another look at this exotic coming out.
He can't, oh, subtle moments.
That can't happen.
Exotic.
This is what we've been talking about all week.
He's got to be performing at his top level.
And that kind of mistake cannot happen in the lower bracket.
Don't have much margin for error here.
Exotic again against first killer.
He's beating to the ball, back pass going with there for the shot.
Now on the other end, exotic threatening the demo.
LJ easily dodges it.
Dizzy, we can get around it for the shot, quick it up.
Great job for Cobra, bailing LJ out of that tough situation.
Got in the way, something on the momentum of the play.
Now, first killer.
Trying to get something going there.
Vitality break a 50-out sentence in the air.
He wants the catch.
Well, you know exactly what Zed want to do.
If people first killer, back over to LJ.
First killer.
Despite losing that move, it doesn't care.
Of course, the 50, Topher just grabbed that midfield boost,
was not ready.
Want to play defense.
Vitality are looking for those pokes off ball,
they're not going to get them.
Hell, these deep outs are going to be fun.
Don't hurt.
Three sets.
Little awkward, this one's still dangerous.
What is happening?
Rebound is going to be fun.
Team Vitality are falling apart.
An ugly goal at the gun goal, as far as I'm concerned.
And I'm sure the value of field is saved.
Exotic gets kicked out of the way by LJ!
Crickle!
Oh, that goes in!
Oh, that's one of those situations where you trip over yourself, but it actually puts you
in a great spot to make the play.
Kofor is going to be laughing his way into the bank.
Kofor's breach of both the ceiling.
I don't know how first it was getting that one to you, but I love the confidence
up three, nothing but two minutes left.
Ten trying to bump there, Exotic, shakes it out back to Stissie.
Xen was looking for a corner, and didn't spawn for him.
No spawn now. He gets it.
Not to a Jollyport kill! A Dolphin back from the save!
And that's going to sting as well. It just feels like Team Vitality can't get anything positive going in this game.
Got a single goal. It was enough to get a game win last game, but it feels like they are struggling out there.
There has been all rebellion in this game.
Xen's got 48.
Orc's turn was found here, narrowly avoiding the demo.
I tell you, you need a spark on this bush.
They're running out of time.
And he's just getting shoveled off the side while I'm at it.
First killer, take the shovel out and push the trash in the cave.
Oh my goodness.
Zed, see ya later.
Let me take this one.
First killer, Buffett's in off the wall, being in position for the pass.
This is a beatdown.
First killer clearly wants to move on in the tournament having one heck of a series
Only game three four by Talon need to find a way to slow the momentum of first killer
We keep talking, you know, I'll take over doing that with a critical save earlier in this game with LJ was left by himself
but still
First killer stand all over the series is LJ
Keep it locked in here and Vitality have no answer.
It almost feels like it's time out time already for Vitality.
Is that a little offense they've been able to generate with the mistakes that they've been making?
The punishment that they've been receiving?
The momentum is undeniable for Rebellion.
Looking for a fifth here.
Vitality.
Easy pushes down the field at times, but this game really hasn't been anything to point at.
Double reset from Stizzy just to buy some time.
As Zen will come in, Zodic in as support, Stizzy will be back.
Zen behind him, Vitality already thinking about the next game.
Maybe a timeout looming after Rebellion absolutely put their foot on Vitality in this game.
And they don't let up.
Shopify Rebellion, taking down Vitality convincingly in that game.
And also, Jervie, the mistakes.
You saw the side flip from Exotic.
And on this stage, when you have no more lines left,
you cannot afford to make mistakes like that.
700 plus there for first killer.
LJ had that great setup with the fake first killer, got that first goal, talked about it, the exotic side flip here.
As you see him jumping and side flip off of it, and that really kind of just took the wind out of the sails from Vitality there and first killer.
That's the blood in the water moment. You've got a shark the size of first killer out there. You better be watching out.
better be watching out. But also we've been talking a lot about first killer LJ and
Kofir have been rock solid. Yeah. I mean even LJ having so much confidence in
Kofir little back passes with almost no space to work with. Kofir's handled it
brilliantly. He's so good at controlling the ball and it's allowed
rebellion in that game to maintain possession so much better than they
have been in the past able to move that line up and really put vitality
in those situations where they have made mistakes.
So it's been a great team effort,
but First Killer has been brilliant, of course.
You do see the timeout call.
It seems like, or it feels like you've got to do it now.
You drop another game, it's going to be hopeless.
This is the turning point for Vitality
if there is going to be one.
We talked about the supporting cast of Zen
and First Killer on the desk
and right before the start of this game
and how those supporting cast will define
how this series has gone.
And that's exactly what has happened.
L.J. and Kofi, like you said, rock solid,
it's dizzy and exotic.
Both unable to really get the quality
that you're hoping for.
Stizzy brought onto this team
to be an offensive powerhouse,
yet vitality are struggling
to get consistent offensive possession
and real shots on target.
You know, I have appreciated
what Stizzy's been able to do.
He's been able to get some space,
take the ball with the sidewall,
get a little bit of space in the air,
but defensively, Rebellion
have still been able to shut him down.
Xen has also been a non-factor in this game.
It does feel like he's been trying to hang back a little bit,
but right now the offense needs his support.
You saw what he tried to do when he was last back.
First killer just chased him down,
bucked him off the wall,
and then scored a goal immediately following.
So will Xen be able to rise to the occasion?
It feels like it has been the world championship
that's favored North America.
Will we see another North American team hit the better of a European Titan?
Something different at Diggie Sereno and Monkey Moon is no longer in the tournament.
Who knows what the script has in store.
First killer and company trying to add to the story.
Vitality have to right.
Zonic.
He's getting 50 back to his own half.
Don't have
LJ up line for this actually doesn't get a touch at all
Interesting push forward and try to recover for it, but no chance at it. Cocoa clear
Maybe elevated game a bit didn't the proper mindset
feeling more like itself
LJ lovely dribble around the corner. It does have an intercept but over right there to support
It always feels like that once you follow a LJ first of the ball and he's got a Coford support.
It's worked out so well and I mean LJ has well been a great support on offense for first killer and Coford.
And Coford is helping LJ out on defense a couple of times in that last game.
That's a good puck.
And LJ just stops the momentum to vitality there.
That's a great touch.
They're forced to blade out.
They're not giving them easy clears to work with.
work with and it's really preventing by Tom from having any kind of momentum.
That was a bold decision by Stizzy to bring that ball down in front of the bed as well.
Despite all this, it still seems like Stizzy has that confidence.
Stizzy nice intersection, making sure no shots can come in.
Exotic can't get the second touch.
First goer pops it up to himself and feels past.
Hofer's already in the air.
Lipping to it, going for the double.
Fix it.
The first goer will get the hit.
It looks like LG may have been able to get a shot.
a shot but first killer wants to stay in the play doesn't want to rotate back
and it has been working out for him so far.
LJ up so quickly for that ball game. First killer up for each other.
First killer uses three ups that they can't get ahead.
Zod is trying to spot out the defender.
This touch is just if he gets away.
Kofir didn't have a lot of moves.
This isn't the easiest right now for rebellion.
First killer committed for this.
LJ's in that as well. Zenz shot the nine, first kill already up.
Oh, he's out of the cage.
He's out of the corner there.
But LJ will be ready.
And Sizzian was wanting to bring that ball,
Air Force trying to control it, ended up giving it away.
Zoning, ground to air.
Zend, upfield looking for Fox.
Rebound up to Sizzi.
Sizzi off the backboard.
Zend will go for it.
Going to go for the ground pinch.
Zend out of 50.
Rebellion able to get back downfield.
LJ's will swing out before a boost deal.
Kofi and LJ didn't have any boost.
First killer.
The only one with them, he just rips it for free downfield.
Zen not able to get that reset there now.
It feels past.
Kofi controls it.
Light lob easily saved.
Fizzy not moving downfield.
First killer back to LJ.
Right into the shooting lane.
That is not where you want to put it.
And Zen punishes the mistake of Shopify Rebellion.
Helljays touches happy clean for the most part, but he just could not get a handle of that ball.
I don't even know if he touched it.
I don't think he did.
It came right off the wall straight down this end.
And nothing first killer can do.
He's gonna stop it.
Vitality, able to respond after being unable to do anything in the last game in this one.
Come on, little more dangerous than maybe it should have been.
He's in!
He's in!
Goal!
Help me!
And we'll recover right back to Disney.
to the sky. Exotic right behind James Stizzy. What's the fuck?
Turned off ball cam to go get 1st killer.
Zoomed my towering up.
I'm taking a little bit of life now to this my towering offense.
And like, in Zed's eyes now, seems like he is getting activated.
LJC's proper crossfield.
Couldn't get the ball cleanly to him.
And Culper is that demo.
Pressure now on 1st killer.
Beautiful control on the back wall.
Fakes the musty.
Keeps on going.
1st killer is so brilliant there.
The game sense, the mechanical control of the game get out of his half.
Still they find themselves trailing, Jordy.
At the same time, happy, our front-out, happy to kill it in the corner and get this counter.
That's another good kill in the corner, first-killer giving first-killer a way out with a nice pop.
First-killer is never worried about having a boost.
Won't play the ball anyway, LJ. Right back to Kofir, Kofir.
The first-killer, first-killer, down, J. But cut immediately by a zonik.
Cranked through exotic there for reading that one.
Passing prep, play a bit telegraphed from Rebellion.
Now a double tap pass off the corner.
First killer's up, knocks it down, save!
Spice, dizzy!
Now it's who I'm on the other way.
Turns up the both counts.
That got it!
What the hell's taking these passengers at this in time?
Giving Rebellion a chance at a counter.
First killer on the wing.
That's from HellJ.
And first killer's got the catch.
No first waiting.
That's from HellJ.
Come on up, get the stretches.
The first killer!
Off of the ball!
Out of the way!
With a 50!
Out of the way!
Out of the way!
Out of the way!
How did this get through?
That looked like Stizzy had done it off!
Stizzy zooming in, trying to dribble it, just gets dunked on, and he saw it!
Can't believe it!
You can see him hitting the brakes!
Oh, I saw first killer thinking that shot definitely coming.
First killer turns up, walk in, he had no intention of doing any something.
He knew exactly how to find the back of the net and Elgig was an excellent way to get it done, but my penalty can't find it. Elgig, dammit, oh, the goal line.
Really does feel like this game is for the series. Team Vitality giving up the lead late. It's been a struggle for them.
Chopped by Rebellion. They see they're struggling. They're going to try to put them down here. Move on to match point.
It would be hard break for Vitality if they drop this one.
Really the best they've been able to do in the series so far as Kofor
Bring this down off the kickoff and non-touch pass out the first killer takes it to the ceiling
Nothing both players are vitality were there and LJ diving into somehow
Grit step on the fifth and Kofor as well
He tried to go backward now he's gone
Zed, there's no time for him
I don't have the pitch to add out
What rebellion on swarming vitality's not right now
Welcome to the ceiling.
First killer is still going.
He has not been rotating out.
First killer will get another chance.
That's the contest against Zed.
He just rolls right over him.
He's busy, bumps him out of the way.
Exotic.
Find and generate an opportunity for the touch.
Just out of a target.
Not over those then.
A little hero went for the reset.
First killer and it's time for go.
LJ has to buy a little time.
Kupfer's already reset.
First killer on the wing, it sends ball.
Exotic will get out of the way.
Roost is there, and he'll take it.
Shot, save!
Great pressure from Team Vitality.
Dizzy, the decent ball, gets a reset.
Goes for the backboard.
Nice clear from LJ, but it's into the hands of Exotic.
With no boost, all he can do is move it to the backboard.
And for our required rebellion,
we're so happy about that.
That would have been a real threat.
I've never been any resources for Vitality
to work with.
to get back down to the field first killer back to the 50 vitality get back to the ball exotic
makes the first touch around the corner exotic goes for the ball misses first killer deleted by Zed
up thanks to Disney Disney has just died because the first killer has to re-correct you won't get
demoed but exotic will come in by some time and then rotating back out to be right behind
They helped him with a save.
He kept him busy, and a lot of them...
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
The talent is over!
Here comes the killer!
Goal!
Goal!
You know they were in power!
It's the first killer!
Put that over the cover!
You saw the vision!
Cobra launching up the first killer with the dive!
First killer out of his chair for that one, and you can see him hyping up Cobra!
That was a big moment.
See, Vitality not able to hold on.
And I just can't imagine Vitality with their struggles so far this series,
with the mistakes that they've made,
now with the opportunities that they've let get away.
How do they get back into this?
You somehow have to disconnect First Killer's controller.
Rip of Stump sticks out. You can't do that.
Fight.
Nine hundred, nine hundred plus points, James.
First killer, you said it, Kofa, big moments at the end after how much pressure Vitality was putting on Rebellion's hand.
And there was even a moment there, Jor-B, it happened so quickly, but it was a double tap pass near post from Vitality,
and it was in a perfect spot to punch in, but the second man was way too close to the play,
wasn't able to shoot it, I think it might have been Stizzy, I had to go back and take another look,
but it was such a good double tap pass near post from Vitality, I thought that was going to be another goal,
I thought that was going to be game and vitality let that opportunity away from you know
There was another one too. I think it was Stizzy again. He got a reset
He was on the right side not a reset tried to double-tap LJ
He had to avoid the bump
Yeah, I just sit right on the post and you get the perfect clear out into space another
Opportunity that rebound could just come out for a free shot for vitality
But LJ Kofi and first killer all coming up big time in clutch moments to help rebellion get on top
It feels like North America has ascended to the next level.
Shopify Rebellion, trying to defend whole turf.
Vitality needs some sort of new breath of life as LJ.
The story feels different this time.
You can see Zed shaking his head.
Zed trying to keep it up.
It was hoping that he had done it up, but he hadn't.
and back, feed up the ball for LJ to smack into the stands.
The first bump for Kofa.
LJ, first killer in Kofa, in some trouble.
And Kofa, a big save.
LJ, hit the 50, puts it out.
LJ turning it on.
Kofa right behind him.
I'm about to support those two have given each other,
not just the first killer.
First killer actually just goes right by his hand and just misses the 50 and everything for vitality
It's just not working. I'll just with another 50 back the copper over splits it off the corner
Vitality just trying to survive
Exotic has been low-groove so many times where we've switched to his POV
It's clear. He's not comfortable not able
Cleaves what a rotation it feels like everyone for vitality has been feeling uncomfortable
Does he try to maintain control?
But you saw what happened when he did that.
Got dunked on, all into his own net.
Team Vitality can't find that synergy yet.
Still, there is time.
Still a little bit of hope for Vitality.
My ball per cent, full boost.
Double top of this off the floor.
That's automatic for a state, but he couldn't do it.
Still, team vitality pressing forward.
And hasn't been this series they had hoped for just yet, but they are not giving up.
Running a time to get it right.
But LJ almost sinks it in with an excellent save.
It's busy.
Got the demo.
Now downfield, but go ahead.
Touch.
He's not going to get a read.
But send well, it's just too weak.
Two weeks, I'll steal the boost.
Exotic will come in by some time.
LJ wants to go quick.
First killer on his right.
First killer to side. You know what?
We don't need to do that. I'm just going to take some boost.
And he'll take the vault. First killer avoiding the bump.
Ors him to 50 and set, has another save.
Crawl first.
We can see what Sissi does with it.
Back pass now to first killer.
First killer will turn and pop.
Picking it up and landing on the ceiling.
Bulk for the pass.
That would have been spectacular.
Still the attack going.
Finally fizzles out.
That was a visionary play.
But Zed, on the counter attack, will punish it.
Looks like it was going to be another rebellion goal.
But one, two, Zed knocks it in.
Finally got the rocket launcher pin gun.
That's a rip that fall.
73 miles per hour.
Good luck saving that one.
And exactly the antidote vitality needed to this rebellion poison seeping into their skin right now
Todd over though or healing needs to be done. How different would it be though had that play connected?
Let's be stuttering
The vitality take advantage of that miss tie things up
First killer. Knocking this way. Actually, fish Zend right to the midfield close. Zend gonna get the touch there, but he gets some more resources.
Stizzy. He's next to the punch. Doesn't have a lock here. Trying to manage these plays on defense as best they can.
He's firing openings, Zed quick reset, which is it?
And First Killer just has to read.
Just seems to have to beat on what Zed wants to do whenever he looks like he gets a chance.
Then staying on the back wall, Exotic will force for him.
Exotic.
Well, the force there.
Dizzy bringing it to the corner.
Exotic leaves that boost for Dizzy as well, but that means Exotic's only going to have a small path fall up in the air for First Killer.
First killer, first killer, denied, exotic.
Off the back wall, he's gonna try to keep it closed.
Hell's sake, not a heavy touch.
What do you have to get around, Stizzy?
He's all of his moves to do it.
Sends on small pass, wants to play support.
If they got the push through,
and here he goes, sends for the hard touch.
First killer couldn't get it.
There's no real threat right now
that rebellion has to contend with.
This one goes back.
Vitality starting to hunt again trying to stay alive in this tournament on their last game life copper
I'd be one the other way no doubt for him
We backed up for exotic there's a lot of boosts
Tuts gets away from him, but he's gonna get a chance at it with a 50
Zip and a lead and all the boosts and a lead and back up back off the board
and exotic just can't get a clean top
Was smoke screened on the shot, but still the expectations presenter that he makes those tough plays
Saw him miss the double tap.
Wasn't able to read that through the smoke.
He's on it.
50.
He should be dead.
What's that there?
That's the confidence.
Starting to win there.
Not a lot of time left in regulation.
Vitaliy have done the job on defense to keep this even.
First killer.
Oh, with the with the back of the way rebellion.
With the end regulation.
Both still in the air.
The first killer, back down, down, come in.
Rebellion's double play, as long as they have control.
But Jalli wanted to play, but they dropped the ball.
A chance for Shopify Rebellion to knock out Team Vitality.
All they need is one goal.
First killer, size is enough, and misses the ball.
And of course, Zeldin has to make a 50.
Another challenge in the corner.
Vitality will take the space, LJ goes for it. Didn't really even get a piece of it.
First killer gets the midfield boost.
Swings back across, LJ, jettling Zen out of the play.
LJ will sit on the wing as Goat for holds the ball.
LJ erases it, but also gets zoned out by Stizzy. Zen up in the air.
Denied by First Killer. LJ squeezes Exotic out of this one.
Hero at fours of all with a recent back the coper had to punch it in reverse
But LJ is all over the ball right now with a loose deal
With another 50. He actually didn't get back to it coper another one quick hit across the blues. Oh, hey
Doing everything you can to try to open up the door right now first kill a second of the boss
Why do the net copers keeps on going on a lot early at light speed here by Talon the territory
Yeah truck by rebellion chasing that ball and it has been working out so far a nice defensive
from Stizzy. Sails hit all the way down. Now first killer had to get there to cut off the shot.
Oh, exotic. I'm gonna let that one slip in. Then downfield. A little more fast for Stizzy.
Stizzy an extra touch, went low with it. Felyon get an easy clear downfield.
Alton this time, he doesn't exactly win it. That's the first killer's wall. Also,
not a great touch from first killer. Stizzy.
We'll get another clear, LJ trying to get there speedily, he gets the bump on Zen.
First killer craft where he lost it, by exotic.
Sizzly, with a nice catch.
Sizzly tried for the 50.
There it goes.
Sizz!
Zen, aiming for the top corner, but it is defending.
First killer getting credit for it.
He had some help just in case.
exotic.
Gonna get a chance at it.
Sizzly comes again.
Vitality were in this position before. They were killed on the counter this time. They protect the ball in the corner
Denied and first killer was ready for it gives the cap and it looks like it died. It was uncomfortable there having to take that ball last back
Got fire rebellions
On the attack now ball to first killer first killer going for the arc and down
Swing it across the first killer keeps going to the skies challenging vitality
namesake here and LJ up swarming exotic trying to keep the busy back to
Stizzy on the ground with a foot for first killer stand in their path that
looking to leave his mark on this game and on this series a ball out to
Stizzy Stizzy easy shot towards that that's saved exotic
Behind the ball looking for help from Stizzy Stizzy takes it ground air Stizzy again with vitality tournament life
Zen by some time
first kill it
Back to the 50 exotic wins the touch
That's two rebellious players that were pushed down, but nobody was available for a rebound.
And the ball was in no spot, but on the plate where Stizzy fixed the hooks on the way back.
Coming back in his exotic, dead on me in the air with a recent shuffle.
LJ with another save, back on the end, still Vitality cannot find the net.
Traveling as fast as possible, it doesn't matter.
Reminiscent of game one where Team Vitality had all the pressure, but they could not find a way through.
LJ again. Another great catch. LJ with the reset.
Burst killer underneath. That's over half the weight.
Stizzy and Exotic coming through. Exotic with a 50.
LJ definitely sat on the side and Stizzy getting the midfield boost.
Rebellion with another clear. Burst killer's 50 right there.
LJ right there. LJ trying for the catch. It gets away fast.
Zed trying to control this. Takes it back down to the ground.
Didn't get the mid boost. Exotic was there to help.
off the corner. Kofa makes her
stizzied up and have a clean shot.
So much overtime today at Cross.
All four of our matches. This one
no different.
Another clear downfield.
Pass after first killer. Denied at
the punch. First killer again.
Another pass to LJ.
Trying to better the boost and it ain't gonna happen.
Zed gets bumped out of the way. He loses his corner moves.
A fight.
For the life.
And it really felt like it was meant to be for Shuffle 5 Rebellion.
And you can understand why North America has shown up at Dickie's Arena.
That is five teams in the top eight here at Dickie's Arena for North America.
And in all its catharsis for these fans that have watched this region struggle
against this region, against this player.
And you talked about the showdown between first-killer and second.
It was first killer who came out on top, but the supporting roles were there for Shopify Rebellion.
Popper was amazing with his overtime, with his double tap that he was able to score.
Unbelievable stuff from Shopify Rebellion.
Unbelievable stuff for Store.
First killer popping out of his chair multiple times, and they get to move on in the tournament.
and man Saturday Saturday gonna decide who falls down to play these teams saw
space nation look they looked insane let's go down to lead with the unit
dickies give it up a shop of our rebellion
oh my goodness first killer how's your heart after that overtime oh my goodness
It's founded for sure it's founded
Unreal man, but I don't know if you could feel the audience and I know the headphones are good
But can you feel the audience rumbling when you guys get close to sparring?
They are I mean I hear a little bit, but not not much
We're coming a lot and it's very loud in our calm, so I can't really hear much
How do you how do you stay composed under a situation like that?
Right like you got some of the best players up you got then on the other side of you there, too
How are you staying so composed in an overtime that's going to five minutes where it's back and forth shots on net?
Well, I know I'm a good like a really good player
So like I don't it doesn't really bother me that I'm playing against them
I mean then is another player like doesn't really matter to me. It's the same man play every day. I don't really care
That's a good attitude to have just lock in and play your game there
I mean that's what everyone says and that's what you guys just did there now coming out of groups coming into today
obviously one match very important elimination in front of an audience
especially North American crowd looking at groups into today how was your
mindset did you feel like there's any work you had to do on yourself to be
prepared for this moment yeah we definitely started slow me individually I
wasn't playing that great in groups so I kind of just told myself like kind of
reminding myself like who I am and like what I've done in this game and you
know like what I want to do yeah so like that that just drove me to like
perform better and just like stay motivated. Just kind of tell yourself lock it in yeah. Right. Lock it in.
I want to right now just to give a moment because
North America is looking good in this tournament right now overall and these fans are loving it.
I want you to speak out to the audience right now that you're here in front of them. They're
supporting you so hard. It's got to feel great. I love every single one of you guys. You guys are
of the goats and yet another European team heads to the airport all five North American
squad still alive and I can't believe Johnny Boy called this he did see he knows ball he
Like, when teams are good, they show up.
I didn't know he knew this one.
He knows ball, but Zen, like, I felt
like it was a little bit of an off series, like,
in that last game as well, if he gets two or three scoring
chances.
Zen?
Yes, I thought Zen was an edge show little bit of an off
series where he could have won at least that game.
I'm not saying it was all on him.
Oh, no, it's not on him.
But he won the 23 World Championship ever since then.
He's ninth.
Ninth.
And now ninth.
Well, he won me ninth next year.
Never been top eight again.
I mean a lot of rumors around where does that go?
We won't be able to see how it plays but
on the other side of the ball for Belly
all three players stepped up.
I mean we should talk about Rebellion first and full by something.
They used the love of the crowd
and they built upon it.
Whenever things went against it, they'd find a way to equalize.
In fact, it was a game of the five
where they got this equalizer here.
This was crazy.
What is he doing?
He got the ball and it came down.
It opens to the corner like a million.
It opens to Rebellion.
They had to read that.
I mean, you got a gamble is 19 seconds of course I'm a gambler I got a score
I'm taking advantage of that it really came down to once again his sin versus first pillar
I like to what first-coast and interview heat zens is not a player and if you're first in life first
Oh, you can say that then this isn't our player and it comes down to others and nobody from vitality said anything
It's all in time serious. It was it. He's the only person that really had a shot or he was great chances
I'm on the other hand, we're voting. I mean, you got okay. You got first and you got co for doing some work
And that was the thing game four over time
It was co first shot fantastic shot to win that one game five LJ has to react to that a half flip back flip shot
And he hits that shot to win it first killer
He cannot do this on his own his teammates really played well throughout the series
And that's why you see rebellion going forward
I hear you that there was moments two words then could have won a game could have changed the outcome for his team
But I also hear what you're saying bait. I feel like it's somebody else. He's a do something point someone has to make
Something out there. Certainly right with that vitality and then make their exit from the 2026
Rocket League World Championship and real quick wave. We have five North American teams left
Do you see anything about the other three teams all?
Land winners this year North America has not won a land for the first time in open-air history
history this whole year. They have five chances to do it, but the three teams that are left have already done it this year.
Austin Major, the Paris Major, and EWC. Those champions still here in the building, and somehow, somehow with this schedule,
somehow with this much, these many teams still stacked your goal, it does not feel inevitable that we're going to see a North American team hold the trophy.
But for me, I feel like these European teams, just to get the sense that they're playing for one another. I feel like they're frustrated.
I feel like there's not a hundred percent team vibes for a lot of them. I mean hopefully as far as the European perspective
Those coming called or gentlemen's are gonna change that one
But not America just seems like such a happy place right now
Well, it seems like fighting for each other one of them gets a goal the others. Yeah, do I mean it's
I do feel that too human in that match especially rebellion capacity ball each other's great of opportunities
It was excitement. There's energy on the field and I'm helping that as well
And then I'm gonna help him that's not helping it too, but they're gonna hear so much and by town
It felt like it's jointed. I agree. It's normally like if they want to pass like it's opportunity
It's not really good to go through the never not really gonna get opportunity a real chance
It's not like European teams are playing this time. They're grateful to be here
North American teams are grateful to be here and they're hungry. It is finally on the well find the wins folks
They have gotten those victories the trophies still yet to be claimed. We'll give that out on championship Sunday
But we have more thing to do here and we are crowning three champions this weekend.
When we come back, Novo versus Nask, the one who won all championship.
Okay, the bummer's fixing that burst pipe.
It should be all set.
Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home and auto mumble from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
flooded with emotion that's too much try on Tuesdays are crazy you know
technically you don't post everything that happens online
No can help you grow.
Nuke can't stop your monster's dream of being a mail tech.
I
Read that
Rocket League sports without context
Drally's getting some packet loss right we're gonna just keep waffling for a
little bit here well Drally looks for his packets
this is not gonna be so easy but whoa
jeez that was not familiar with your game
spectacular fashion
this is rockin' it
I stand back and I watch you explore
In perfect visions I've kept in here before
Falling faster I try to ignore
I see you, I see you
I
This is not what I came here to find.
Memories show that I'm out of time
I see a shadow, don't know if it's mine
I see you, I see you
I see you, I see you
I
And I know that I need to save the world so I can find my way
I'm drowning in the light I'm singing deep, very sad
They're pulling me below I'm haunted by the past
I'm drowning in the light I'm singing deep, very sad
I need you to find a good movie
Take me, I need you to find a good movie
I need you to find a good movie
The action continues of the 2026 Rock League World Championship the 3v3 action is done for
the day and it's time for us to crown the 2026 Rock League 1v1 World Champion.
Nobu is back to defend his title, NASS the challenger this year will he be enough
for the power of the Middle Eastern champion,
I'm way fucked.
We got a wonderful desk up here.
People who love this game and one of you ones
new to the circuit last year, this time around,
it feels like everyone is a little more solidified
in all the competitors.
Had a better idea of what to expect from the format,
which means we should have a more compelling competition
the entire year along.
I mean, we should, and in general,
it's gonna be a different energy though here.
Last year, it did feel like a boxing match,
but Mark's seeing the punch probably on.
He walked in here with a punch of lag.
You're like, ooh, here we go.
And nobo he was like he was the antagonist he was the villain in the story and he literally was the villain in the story
He absolutely dominated that match this time around. There's no hometown favorite nobody from North America
Young man from Mina and nobo trying to go back to back and young man from Morocco's
Can also play for the Netherlands also
And yeah, I think this is gonna be an unbelievable match as well new but of course the returning 1v1 world champion
He's already been on the stage on his own and it's gonna be such a different vibe. I think especially when you're competing to double your money
Hackers $25,000. I do a lot things 25,000 right now man
Also like I think about nas about the player growth over the past year last year
He was one of those players were like he does not the ice and he didn't even make it out of the one-to-one's in Europe now
This year he obviously won the Boston major the greatest offensive performance
And now he gets to do 1v1 in front of the crowd like it's this was last year. No, well 100%
But now NASA's leveled up his game in front of crowds. So I think it's quite for this
We've talked about it long enough folks. It's time to crown the 2026 world 1v1 rocket league champion
Anyone against me he should be an under pressure because I'm your champ. I didn't care about
I think it's just whoever plays the best on the day is going to win.
Our wayward challenger is the MZ1 and it's too easy for Nass.
The kickoffs are so good and he's mentioned.
Even if he was in, he was trying to get back.
I started coming up as a one-home player.
So having Nite all out of me and then with the World Championship,
I might be up there then with the greats of all kinds.
I just tried to have fun, found what the crowd wants, but now I've found I play the
best rugby.
I didn't care about anyone against me, I just think about myself.
I think about my play and my sort of great and my first thing myself.
I mean when I was watching the game that Mokzi wasn't playing the way he normally
does, that's probably why I knew who took the win, but I think this year will
be different.
So it gives me more trust in myself to do it at third time, at the B3 time.
He's just attacking, he's relentless, he does not care what the opposition can do because
he knows what he can do.
Who's the issue in Dominate?
We saw that when he played against KV-1.
He was incredible.
He never relented.
He was always pressuring Cable, perfect of worse situations imaginable, ended with 12
boost or so, and then still stuck around in the play.
It's time to welcome the challenge.
At least ready to be seen it compete.
It's national.
Yes, but this is a whole different element.
Yes, he's the boss of major MVPs,
playing in front of crowds before, but never alone.
This is the first time for him on Nobo on the other side.
We saw the nerves kind of get some Moxie back in Leon.
Nobo didn't face any of those.
I will say, I think Moxie has a different type
of pressure on him.
He is a one for one main.
He was in the country.
That's a burden that you don't really want anybody else
to have to carry.
Nass doesn't have to.
He's just a great player.
He doesn't even play once that much. He said that in the interview.
He's just really good at the game.
And also, bear in mind that both of these players
have already played today as well.
With Nubo, he got knocked out.
Nas is still in the competition.
And honestly, 1v1s, I feel like 50% at the very least,
probably even higher, is a mental game.
You have that skills, but you have to be ready mentally.
You're going to get frustrated in 1s if you go down early.
For Nas, probably not going to get as frustrated.
He's still in the 3v3 tournament.
I think that does food well for him here.
And if for whatever reason,
it's the first time you're watching all says one point,
one point, you're like, what are these guys bring to table?
What do they do?
Well, I'll tell you this mask,
watch over the kickoff,
he tends to win them,
does a delay kickoff,
he likes to mix it up.
And when he does, he always gets possession.
And ultimately also as well,
his signature move in one,
my estimation when he brings the ball up high,
gets the reset,
and really comes all the way back to the ground,
wave that shit underneath,
everybody respects his reset,
but you gotta be worried about that ground,
that ground is pop.
And if a no ball particular,
it's just a power shot to the speed in that question.
And this year, three show matches they have participated in that I could find and shout out to figure.
Uh, first two went Nobo's way.
That's a 3-1 and then a 4-3, but the last one, Nass won it 4-0.
So Nass has the edge, I would say, in show matches, but again, anything can happen when we're playing in front of the crowd.
Anything can happen. Let us know who you think is going to win in the progressive fan vote.
I mean the question to me is is did the loss that we saw noble experience earlier today
Tilt him in a way that made him I get that gives nasa an edge or did it
Frustrate him and he's here to blow off some steam at nasa's expense
I think also the frustration can definitely work against you as a competitor
You said you can play differently to how you normally would and the way that new boat normally plays gets in the results
That we do see I think that they're gonna come in this is very varying mindsets. I completely agree ways
I just don't know if that losing and lighting a fire is going to be you know
Conducive to a positive performance from a new bow whereas Nass. He's only got positivity to work through
He was great in a 3v3. I just know you things gonna win. We'll make our picks up here
I have a feeling of where you're going here Stumpy, but make it official. What you got? I
Actually this entire time I've had new bow on our prediction the whole time and as you were talking just then I reached over and
and I tapped Nass' name.
I'm switching over to Nass.
I just have that feeling, the vibe in the air.
The audience is pulling for Nass.
Dickey's arena is on his side.
Give me Nass on the ball.
I changed multiple times throughout today as well,
but the ultimate thing was Nass is still in this tournament.
Nobo seemed very frustrated.
He's out of the tournament.
I think he plays angry.
I don't think that's playing smart.
So I'm going to pick Nass here to win it.
Thanks.
I mean, I just like seeing new world champions
I like from the new ones. I think nice is a great player. I think it's a great person. And I think I'll just that's a great smile
He also has a great one-way gameplay. Give me nice over no boat. What would all CS world champion? Oh, I'll take the butt there
It's never came I already feel no, but I did not think I would be in this position in this moment in the day
Or I would be the only person picking the reigning
Defending 1v1 rocket league champion of the world who has played with this amount of pressure on his shoulders his entire
career. I would love to see us grow a new champion. Nas would be a fantastic person to hold the mantle, but Nobu has earned it.
Nobu will continue to carry it, and he will be our back-to-back 1v1 world champion.
We've got Nobu on one side, Nas on the other, into the air, and it comes up Nobu here as well.
Can he prove me and the coin right, or do Nas and Gentlemakes take home another trophy?
Oh man, it's gonna be close. It's gonna be momentum base. I can see two games swings back and forth.
I expected this to go to the Champions field.
Yeah, it's going to go the distance, you know,
it's one.
All right here, Johnny, right now, he's hyping it up,
saying, we're going to go seven, everybody just sit back
relax, we're here an hour and a half.
But how about the end of it?
We're going to have a doozy of a matchup.
There's just two great players really going at it.
And one of them is truly a game mode
to show off your individual brilliance.
A split down the middle in chat, they're 59% though.
Going for gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,
it is time for the grand finals of the 2026 1v1
Rocket League Championship Series.
One year ago, we made history.
Nubo marched into enemy territory to take on Moxie and
thousands of French faithful to claim the first ever 1v1 World Championship.
And now he's back to defend it.
This is your main event of the evening.
The reigning cat faces his toughest challenge.
Has now pushed to dethrone the 1v1 king.
Seven aims to a finish for the undisputed championship of the world.
This is your 1v1 grand final.
Fire up and let's roll!
He's dominated every single time he's played he crashed the Azen rally
Honestly destroyed Moxie and Leon
Yesterday I guess he won two days ago. I see it was more of the same. He just dominated
once online
Immediately mass a mentality monster has made so many comebacks across so many different games
To make it to this point
I want to quickly list off the names that new boys only streak again
Since we introduced the Monty Watch, the Boss, Killers, TRK, TWICE, Diaz, Mobsi, and now he takes on NAS.
It's unreal. He's just able to do so much of what he does online.
Under the extra pressure I'm like, Nasty, come back from any score, like, he'll never give up.
He is definitely the toughest task that I've ever faced. He is an unreal.
Now it's about how much did that earlier loss twist of minds from now for effective is he tilted on that's the
Question that people are asking around to use arena. Can you bounce back? Can you lock it for the 1v1?
Also, I shot his girl. Play for the 100 boost as he can.
Sweep up the feet challenge initially.
See him. He sees his opponent. He lines him up.
He said it was going to be different.
And he does give a little bit of hope to the European viewers who have had a tough day today.
What should do to get eliminated?
Nassar score a burst still in the 3v3 tournament.
He is the only player right now who can win two of these, as well as Atil with the 2v2.
Twins and 2v2, but as far as one of the three scores, that story is done for no reason.
That's the state of the first goal.
From Nancy just monstered him.
Working his way through the back of that balloon there.
Now there's a chance for Nancy to get one more,
but I don't think that's well done.
Just a bump, low boost for Nancy's going to have to back off.
Now for us getting very happy just to allow Nancy to play so far.
That's also a sign of very similarly against Diaz.
She realized maybe don't allow those air drops to happen.
Just half on the way.
He's just going to hand this right over, so again, neither of them over to Winsgood yet, now Napa has done it.
Oh, he's gone low, he's gone low!
Twisted! A virtual pretzel!
Oh, what a mind game!
He actually catches him all initially, and then goes for the ball carry to Airdrieville.
You'd think it would be off the bounce if he's in Airdrieville, so he's really messing with Nass from the get-go there.
And to fake him out this early in the game, it's a big mental win.
win.
Who chests match early?
Two titans of 1v1.
Now both.
We're reigning 1v1.
Well a champ.
He's already dead against Moxie last year.
Mostar's territory.
He's got to get through on the bounce as well.
He's got the lead.
He just gets in so quickly.
He just harshens his challenges quicker than anyone would expect.
Catches so many off guard.
He doesn't even need boost to do it.
That's how you had some.
So he's easily able to score.
It's kind of horrifying that for Nasty.
That's exactly what he wanted Napa to do.
He's got a low challenge, he can bounce his car away.
The kickoff's gone nicely though and just about squeezed on him.
The kickoff squire warming up for Nass in the series against Yes.
He started off looking second best in that department,
but by the time the series got going he was very much even
and then at times going ahead in the kickoff game,
most of the time that he was winning it was pushing the kickoff lights.
We'll see if he does that here and leave he does.
He's trying to get the ball to the same side that he's facing and this should be fine for him even though he's in defense.
Yeah, he's going to put a lot of pressure on him.
He can't get through, he's passing it to him.
The alpha was called for gold game one of the world's finals.
Yeah, that's right.
I thought he'd be able to get control of some way but he just couldn't even get a small pass.
All right, what's always there?
He has to get used to that.
Now, folks, there's no action around it.
The not-laced-missed line is no reason to keep up the work with.
That's the pace 100. That was the stick around.
What in the-
More, more, more.
The answer I'll tell you all about how extreme that is,
but it can't be. It's the turn challenge.
So quick. Up on it.
You can see those challenges. It's whizzing around.
It's like a mosquito.
Trying to find out,
getting up to get the demo.
Has space on board this time.
Joe's low with the fake.
Now with the reset, the pre-jump.
It's a beautiful save from Nass.
And now he's walking the other way. No, what a goal!
That is a huge moment. Denies the typical advantage.
And that was a puck for the save. We didn't just go for a save there.
He was completely right.
He was coming at him. Starts to catch the attacking scores.
And Kim was not always the best for Naipo, so that's something nice that's got to...
Make sure it up here to get a good start.
You know that the ones roach out of the reigning defender roach out will come back strong
The 15th map recovers first time shot and there's no one there
That's pretty easy up building where there's really too much of a threat there CJ. I don't think at all they're masses
Playing a patient game against now, but who looks a little bit more panicky on the other side of things
He's rushing his attack it
That's what happens to you.
Well, if you want to get overcommit,
you've got to be a goal against a player like Nass.
You know he's finding the back of that time and time again.
And he's got to get another goal if you left him in.
Does get it on target.
5-3, kickoffs all in Nass's favor.
And we've got recovery this time.
Just using them to bump the bow in the blade.
5-3.
So the onus is really on the player losing the kickoffs
to change something up here.
He's got two pretty direct kickoff goals.
One completely, but immediately after.
We're not seeing any delays in the kickoff department, but he does win this one and he scores with it, first leg of Arsenal.
Massive confidence booster, makes up a 12, Nass, as he's got Scamper on bat.
Just getting a kickoff win that now goes so important.
You don't want to be leading those goals, especially heading for the last two minutes.
Two times, just so even on paper, it's divided opinion, divided the predictions as well.
Well, from the talent, from the people of Tikki's Arena.
Oh, wow.
Well, it's now over.
He's half the likes of the 1v1 experts here,
and he thinks NAS can get the Chilts on JV.
Yeah, here's Ricky NAS.
He is on a crazy streak online.
This isn't online.
This is the defendant, Chaff.
He's actually dropped a couple of dribbles
into weak positions there.
And Murralkin struggling with his ball control.
Supply first touches.
One of the first things to go under the extra pressure.
Oh, that's almost done.
Well, it's a fake, but I think it's going to fake to himself.
I love this from Nass though.
Have a look at his face.
The wave dash shot to that bottom left hand side,
and now he has to cover it.
So many options.
Nass, some of the Nass will go back to over and over again.
Oh, Saft.
Cool.
Every single time I've been there,
it was like three goals in a row.
As we catch the whole thing, take off.
That's new, Johnny, because Nass was not
going into that back at all.
Oh, you have a couple of ideas yesterday. He's winning kickoffs and he's still switching up the strategy, keeping Nass guessing. Nass is doing the same shit.
Oh, he missed it!
That was like it was going to be another one-goal game. Now he's got Nass in the way of him and that's going to make things a lot harder.
Another save for Nass.
Now he popped everything in the trip for the landing, not the demo.
You can see now by just looking at his camera as well, he's frustrated.
The key sign that all pros go towards is the only way to really show it to the people that you should have scored that open net.
Now still two goal lead has another crash.
Now she's going to lead this four versus the smart playman.
Now both still have the 100.
Now it goes to the wall.
Flicks early.
Now both are struggling with the tunnel right now.
Now they're not struggling with themselves legs.
Now hold onto the goal line.
Second play of a offense on the way.
Now six touching that boat.
It wasn't being a really good tomorrow opportunity.
This one does very well. Rotate, recycle the possession. Can we get it again?
Oh my goodness.
And that's good.
And it goes in directly. That's huge. It's this demo.
Didn't land. Luckily, it's not hit off the crossbar.
Not giving Nass time to get back to it.
One goal game. 16 seconds left.
He just chocked him off the ball there.
He's shimping him away to that back corner and Nass.
Pushing him up in 16 seconds. Here we go.
It's a kickoff, it's got some precision, fall-offers.
He's realized he's going to turn, keep the ball down.
He's now got the ball, he's got the boost, he's going to beat Devon.
Nash back to the very front, just going to try and keep this ball up
by the world champions, but it's dangerous and it's down!
One-nil to the Europeans.
Nash holds on to the lead in a sense factored for his game.
Scores are almost identical.
The shots and saves are identical.
The only difference, Nass got one more goal.
What a start for Nass.
Faded predictions.
A lot of the talent leaning towards Nalpo in this 1v1.
Why not? He's the reigning 1v1 world champion.
He's the inaugural beyond me.
RLCS 1v1 world champion with Dr. Nass.
That experience.
He just looked comfortable as well.
When he walked out, Nass, he was smiling to the crowd.
He's feeling it.
That is how it has always been.
He's just always in such a good moods, a reason why he's been so difficult to put away for everybody, we even saw during the semi-final.
You know, Nash never looked overly comfortable for a large period of that.
And yet still, the moment anything went right for him, it's all smiles.
That's a necessary Game 1 win.
I did say that we've seen a lot of Game 1 losses for now, but even in series he's ended up winning.
he can, you know, up the pace.
He can up the the offense a lot
compared to what we've seen in
that game. I think especially
the aerial offensive didn't
look very confident from him.
He's not going for early
flip reset.
He didn't look great either
in the 3v3.
We saw him earlier on today.
He's just not looking
comfortable.
He's not playing his game.
And I'm playing, you know,
we did our top 25 list as well.
John Hew had him right up
the top.
I did.
He really top it.
That really obviously relied
that I'm winning this
but he's eliminated from
Yeah, that did me pretty well.
But he's got to keep control of his aerial game.
He's got to be threatening more.
He's now starting to cover his own countered in several occasions.
That's a positive ego showdown. We know that Alfa has levels.
He's not quite near his top at the moment.
If he was playing perfectly and losing, then he's in trouble.
Probably so.
Here we go.
He's like, mop, mop, mop, mop, mop.
Over all, by the occasion.
Yes!
Well, this is just Friday.
That's lovely for Nas, just lets the challenge go off the wall and back to it.
And a simple flick over for 1-0.
Nas is one of the best players in the world and just being there, annoying, just never leaves.
He's always spacing awkwardly, where his opponent doesn't want it to be and he's dusted.
The defender won't jump here, comfortably to 2-0.
What's hopefully actually about this small team game is showing me a good point.
I feel like Nasus is a very good player, not only playing his game, he plays his opponent's game as well, and he realizes very well what are you actually capable of in a position like this.
I felt like when he first burst on the 1v1 scene, he wasn't known for his mechanics, his aerial game, but he just made the opponent look silly.
He made the look off their backs, we see flash of your opponents he comes up against, and he just handles him with ease.
A saltline final spot, and now he's adding that mechanics.
We saw it in Boston, we've seen it in the pre-meet-tree.
Just so much here he's got!
He's still got a formidable opponent on the other end.
That's such a good prediction.
Cutting the ball in, field predicted,
and Nass is good as far in the front of him.
Look out, many angles.
Nass has got a cover there.
Brilliant idea to go mid there,
not just a rough straight back to there,
or straight towards the net.
Must need his goal there on that point.
He's moving still a little bit, but these are better kickoffs and he's going to have a good possession, takes on the hood.
Interesting to see that he doesn't really want to take this to the air, has to play the crown game against Nass.
Oh, has Nass. Just going to get away of it up to the wall.
Alphos trying to step with this. How much does he keep on this booster? Oh, he's got to get away.
And he certainly has not. This should be number three.
How smart is that from that show?
Did he recognize the basketball dribble coming in?
It was now closed.
Only option with low boost.
And how pretty did he get out to it?
Yeah, when he's over the ball like that,
he's definitely telegraphing what he's doing.
And now he's just going to see that.
He's such a smart player.
Always counter punching.
Always reading his opponent to such a high level.
Well, good enough to think of it too far ahead here.
In a pretty nice interview, he said
that he's just going to get this one done
and then pick him at a third.
There's a long way to go before he can see he's a doot-tack.
And again, Nass, not falling for it.
Not enough where he's trying to play.
He dives on in. That's a good recovery here.
Doesn't have to take the shot. Yes, he does.
But now he couldn't stretch.
It's too fast.
That's what he's going to be trying to do to everyone that he plays against.
He backs the chances in any race to the ball.
He's going to keep kicking up the pace as this series goes on.
This is the beauty of 1v1.
and the best of seven situations showing you just a careful opportunity to heat up into the series.
You get usually a lot of time on ball as well, but Nassas throwing one straight back into his own net.
And what a response from the general man, Starr.
I just want to have a look again at Nalpo's country on his way back, picked up one of the 12s.
And he just tried to hook himself around to keep picking up 12s on the way.
He might have been able to make that.
He was just a touch more direct.
Nass is looking fantastic, we might need a separate segment bathroom analysis with fear
because he's been bang on the money so far, Nass, what did you throw at him, would you
JV?
Yeah, he really has, but I'm also quite surprised to see, even though it's the loss earlier,
it's more like it.
You're wondering, why is Nass like he's walked it all in here looking like a silver goal,
but Nass has had to dodge a back 12 bump, that's why he's got off the wall, and
way if he stayed where he was it would have been in his it is not anyway
right now that's gonna not get any distance for himself but now both
he's putting physically this time around that's the first time in a while that's
gonna have the chance to set up his own plate go slow! who's gonna stop him now?
now both! oh my goodness! there's no way on any of those!
he's got great situation! go to the shot! cut his end! that's completely stopped his way
that should have been a goal down the other end but it's now both
This is what happens, there's Nass through the ball to the wall and the outplay was ready, he grabbed the 100 moves, that's a two-goal swing.
Look at the pace, everywhere Nass looked, all he could see is his opponent. That is a critical goal, he's tied the game still.
Nass went in the majority here to kick off.
The game is well here, Nass hoping to tie this one up, he has to have the demo and he's getting back to the net.
He's safe, he's taking it up top.
off the wall. When does he take the reset? Will he take the reset? Yes he does!
And that's kitchen out! Will he just get back in time now for long boost! Scramble! Can't get that!
It's not what we like the aerial game that we're expecting to see. I don't know if one of the most
mechanical players to ever play get the reset so late shows things. I don't
think he's feeling very comfortable in the air. That really does swing the match.
Way into Nas' favour. I think when it comes to the ground game, the chess game, the chess match, he is so good.
Skate won't be on that edge, but is he counter-attack he has? Look at the recovery out of there. Nas was strangling.
Three nights of fun.
The same, just using the crossbar to set up an immediate counter-attack.
A game just as close as the first one.
I'm really struggling to see a way back. I'm starting to think this is a lot more
nasty than it should be. And again, a kickoff pressure. This one does go in. Similar goal
to or similar plays we just saw. We're trying to make a crossbar pitch save, but you can't
rely on that every single time. Even there, missed the boost, not on the way back.
These pardons are on as well. We saw the reset earlier. Clearly not feeling that
At the moment, this and all of these presents we had is still in one.
Now, Marcus West is still far behind.
I'm going to kick off though, which is massive.
He needed that so badly, because he's been taking a beating of the post of the kick-offs.
These guys have played some risky strats over here.
They're not trying to play the ball to the back corners.
They're not trying to get to the field play.
They're trying to kick off, but it's a lay very often, or even a full fade.
But, how many of those got connected in the semi-finals?
I can understand why they wouldn't want to go there.
This is one another kickoff with a reset.
But it's not much of a matter of treatment.
It's pretty fast.
Oh!
That's his bird of body.
You'd expect him to score it still.
What a work through that side angle.
And now both knee grabs the lead.
And this is another significant pass.
Holy shit.
He's leading the tallest.
He just manipulated this 50 perfectly.
Six, seven, a fever in us.
Right now, now for who?
It's not an awful lot of success.
Again, number one from those five challenges.
pushing the ball off the wall and then following it for shot,
not finding any of the same success.
That's looking away at those issues.
Probably was claimed by now, but he's going to have a good score here.
That's realized he doesn't really want to get this one up for free.
That's a play with zero, then it was just a hand it over,
and that now puts right through something up.
Now he finally is forced to back away.
Game two of the 1v1 Worlds final,
giving the people what they want,
giving the chapel that one on the scoreboard, JV.
Oh, wow. Well, you thought it might be an air double again.
It's just fast recovery focus.
That's not enough.
Nasus keeping up with him.
Nasus running away with it again.
He gets an eighth from the counter.
Goals are flying into the net.
That's the Middle East Superal.
Once the demo went,
when you hit anybody in that corner of the field,
the car doesn't go anywhere.
We've all been there.
Most in the way that you just,
you feel the hit, it doesn't do anything.
Oh, that's not enough.
Now, post got a chance to try it on.
He knows that's a zero for Statenet, and he buzzed!
Oh, my!
He needed the extra touch before he went five through for a shot,
as if that was an old shot.
Okay, he did that side, didn't even hit a post, he knows it.
For a bit of time, you can't see it to the net when you're outside of it,
so he's hiding it outside of the net post, right?
Make it unclear, is he on the ground?
Is he on this inside of the goal post?
But his nameplate gave him away, and you can see it creeping out of the net.
That's why the top corner is open.
That's again all the big challenges. Try to use the ball top.
He's got his cover, his name tag is fouling.
He's got to try and react around there. It's another heavy commit.
Try to pull to tromper number one, release the game, that's your step to the momentum.
See that 100s?
Oh!
Again, that's a pity. Dive in.
None of this is quite working out, CJ.
There you are, those Rock-a-League Gold Coasts.
They can get you a diamond minor and a 1v1 worlds final.
himself in, up over the chance, on-fall, Nass is just staying close as possible,
this is what he loves to do, just shadows, win these close 50s,
perhaps get us two goal lead, now folks get back in stretch for this intro.
25 seconds, now both, oh it's off-foot, he realizes he's stuck in the flip,
which leaves him for Nass, let's take the two goal lead!
What a fake challenge, Nass completely catches him off-guide,
Pirate's late zone, shot, and he's got a 2-goal lead,
but that is not the end, or even near the end in 1v1.
Scott's a log in, he's got to get a hold of the ball.
He got Gal required here for now, but...
It's a lie, kid, the one he was looking for is Nass.
Has ball, has 100 bushes, well, 10 seconds left.
You're going to see a 2-goal lead,
but that's you, pitcher.
Always in par form at the moment.
Do we get a timeout after just two games?
I thought surely we're going to be at a 1-1 score.
Our advantage was leading by two.
It would be an outfielder.
It's nice with a convincing 2-0 lead.
Good 10-pasted defendants out.
And for those just joining us,
wondering why we didn't play the last five seconds of that,
something that we don't see much during the semi-finals.
You are allowed to forfeit a game.
game after I believe two and a half minutes you are allowed to call for that.
Left side, look at the side, I'm out and out.
Have a look at him as well, playing up to the crowd here in Tiki's arena.
You saw with his walkout he's looking comfortable.
Tiki's so composed, he's obviously still alive, the gentleman's the RCS 3v3.
Then gets more open.
He's also got a 1v1 world championship to win, and he's two games away.
Look at this. The first time out that's been required for a sleepy.
He's going into the line palace.
He's the MENA champion of this season, the reigning defending world champion,
and he still needs to take the repo right now.
This is the danger isn't it? This is not a new form. We already know Napsik when it comes to grand finals especially.
He just can hit that other level that he just seems untouchable by time. How does he know it? Not too long ago. New Bros now starts to know it as well.
And I'm going to quit this clown up I've never seen.
It's one of the moments where you don't even know if you've been asleep. Your eyes feel heavy.
I don't know if he has actually been firing at him, but we'll have to ask him later.
That was just a full mental time, wasn't it? It didn't look like a change of strategy for now, but it's just him probably feeling it.
We saw it with the attempts and resets and some of the partly missing boost as well. Just these mistakes we didn't see from him nearly on.
It's the aerial game. It's really not at the level you'd expect.
The aerial game just seems scared almost of what Nass can do, almost like he's more likely that Nass is going to score than he is whenever he takes the air.
Well that starts great after the defense as well. It's not just that Naples having a bad day when a defender of Nass's qualities between you and the goal you're trying to score in,
it will make even a player of Naples calibre second guess himself think, well should I be going for this reset? Should I maybe play for him?
play for a more safe option, just an air dribble 50-50, which then of course
Nas is going to read the flight to the corner, take the possession, take the
boost back. This is such an important thing. I mean, our sweep nearly
happened in the Birmingham last year for 1v1, but surely not against Nas.
Surely not, but it seems like a long road ahead still, even for Nas to win
two games against the reigning RLCS 1v1 World Champion. We're going to go
back-to-back. We haven't seen him in this position yet. We haven't seen him struggling. We didn't
see him struggling at all really against Moxie. And he needs to lift. He needs to find at least the
level or two against Nass. He certainly needs some of that mental pressure as well. He could do
not only with a win, but with a beat down. Just something where he's not so win-secured early.
That will shrink for later. He did a demo in there actually. That was an effort in them.
I don't think we've decided not to go for it, but I think we should switch up the kickoff to see if he's doing it right now, it's going to be a terrible bump.
And it's going to be 1-0. Look out for the next diagonal kickoff, and I hope he keeps going.
The all-side approach, in the safewell, he's going to have a lot of success.
This is what he needs to start setting on that aerial game we mentioned before, not feeling comfortable.
He has to start finding a few into the backhand out just for his confidence.
And it is good to get at least one edge on the bomb, that's pretty much the impossible task for me.
Oh, they win, but he's simply not fast enough.
And I've got the demo, Paratops 100 boost.
Now, can you do the same thing he did earlier?
He's got the same prediction, try to cut inwards.
He's a little bit too soft at the initial touch, but he keeps turning around.
And make it to hell.
He's just never left after losing the kickoff initially.
And that is a risk challenge.
He probably knows that that's not going to work a lot of the time, but he does want to challenge at some point, just to at least show that you're willing to do that.
And the next fake challenge in Asperger's heart will be more likely to work. He gets the kickoff goal right back. It's 2-1.
He finds out most kickoff goals when you've outplayed your opponent down the other end moments ago.
He just heard the mental attach.
I do really like the way the nasplice kickoffs. As gone as he gets pushed to the wall, he's landing on the spot.
He doesn't know if he's searching for it.
He's always able to just take that momentum,
use your tip to another.
It's gonna work, but once we're off the bounce,
he's gonna decide low boost here for the album.
So I stick with it, that is a great challenge.
With the balls too high to really do anything weird.
Trying to warm up the max.
Heavy touch in the air, not a touch up.
He was looking for it, and it's more than what we're seeing.
All game, Nass gonna try to show how it's done.
Top fans do too for the speed on this reset as well.
This is what he was doing.
Time and time again at the Boston Major in 3v3.
In 1v1 he's got to get even more time on the ball and Nass.
That's probably been the difference.
Nass is controlling the pace when he gets an opportunity.
He's been clinical show gunner.
Now bro looks like he's just ha-has it.
He's throwing.
He's putting it at wall and just seeing what can stick.
And it's working against Nass.
I've seen right now, that's just them up by a ball willing to try and pull the trigger.
He does give the musty.
Get to it, Chonix.
Gonna give away the open net.
And that might just wait till the confidence of Nassan a little bit.
Something big that Nassan.
Yeah, that was ambitious.
I like that he pulled the trigger.
A lot of 1v1 plays just by itself.
If he doesn't hit that, as you saw, it's a goal on any other end.
That's recovery kickoff.
Or no, but Nass in a bit of trouble here, landing awkwardly on the post.
All these shots, just trying to get Nass to slow down.
Knock left, it's open.
Oh, no!
Still on it as well.
Take it up the side wall, but Nass has got to pre-jump, solo boost.
He's got to have to leave the ball surely.
Staying around.
He can up a couple of pads.
He's going to go all the way back corner now, if he sees the space.
And he's going to take it.
Thumbs off, he can see Nass just wading high.
He's got to change the level here now.
Wow!
Brooks again just filed a reset and he made it to the light.
It's so low as well, the takeoff is so low there,
but I don't know why he's not going higher,
giving himself more time.
Oh, it's just that he's going to be 3-3.
Might even have a way of getting a piece of this in defense.
He was a great low on Bruce.
Nice.
Just jumped off the ball and that'll do.
3-3.
Just like now, but it's just panicking a little bit,
a position that he does not need to.
Yes.
That's completely comfortable.
Alpo just picked up a 12, Nass sticks around, he always does, takes the shot,
will snap boost be used, but it's actually still a lovely position for Nass,
takes the air, how's he gonna go about this?
Hedgill bucked up a yard, instead he wants to try and take the block,
and Nass too strong on the goal line.
Man, it was working against Foxy, I asked you, but it's not working against Nass.
Alpo's aerial gauged, still, it's a fully come on line,
but you've got to give credit to the defense, and Nass, he's keeping at the same level,
He's just matching Alfa workeries in the air, he said it is prostrated, this guy doesn't leave them all behind and open each.
He just wins the positional battle.
No plus go, there's Nose in front but he couldn't turn in because he knows he's going to get demolished.
And that leaves him at Alfa for us to play.
Like a jetfire that Nose is in the process.
No way to get back over to it.
Overstays as it currently is, there might be no way to get back to regaining your Poppy 1 World Championship.
Now, Po-Oh! Nass beats him immediately!
Nass looks so good. This is a positional master class.
You perhaps thought that now Po is just pure mechanics and speed for brute forces late for a minute.
Okay.
Still finding O, please now Po, that's a nice flick.
Why?
First big mistake there from Nass.
He's probably been out of the way, thought it was going to be a monster, I suspect.
And that's some tip, you know, he initially faked the challenge but then he saw something
that would make him think, I reckon I could go for this.
It wasn't the greatest flick we've ever seen, but it was enough.
It's like the Game 4-4.
Now for the way back down, really do take the lead.
Oh, it's Nass.
That's a nice deal, they both come in heavily.
Nass is the control of the two, but he's going to have a limited amount of time to make some of this.
Backboard, gobble.
Oh, you see the double up?
Oh, this was a disrespect.
He ended up in net JV.
He's taking a lot.
All guys for a free double.
And I'll have another look as well.
Yo, guys, don't look at explosions.
And Nass has just gone one goal up.
Okay.
He is just too consistent.
We wondered when he'd be able to make any comebacks.
He's not really had to.
He's been in control.
Now Nappo's good at such a fast spot.
Try to die! But try as it's good as it's getting at the moment.
This guy is so good at rock it's ridiculous.
Nice. A quick flick and he just recognises he knows when the output is going to jump in.
He knows when he's low boost and he's desperate.
We've seen it desperate and on the blue side time and time again he's won another kickoff pass.
He doesn't have to boost it. He's going to have to get seed possession.
We talked about already being eliminated from 3s, could be a little bit
tilted or not, but what is this dude for Nasus, he goes up 7-4.
Gentlemates are still in the 3v3 tournament. What does this dude for Nasus do for Gentlemates?
If he can win this in this dominant fashion.
He's online, that's what I'm saying right here.
And Nasus is online and we know he's the one he's at so called.
Good luck rest of the world
The rest of the weekend for RLCS 3P3, but he is about oh my goodness if it's in
Three no up this one be one out by we see all the thoughts the reason
He's on a whole different world
It's dismantling destroying the world champion
Four goals and then a big kick off for giving him more possession.
He could run this ball around him almost certainly with a game from here.
But he's shown us and he intends to do more than that.
He's going for clips. He's going for more goals.
Just be careful not to push the limit too much.
Now he's going to throw a shot on him.
Come on, it's one of those little misses that will just keep on us ready, man.
Who is in big, big trouble in this one.
He's going to the Haley!
That's the first try.
What do you do? The champs are running out.
He can try and call time on this game.
But then he leaves himself.
He might have, he might have, he says no.
You know what, he scored that.
Just because he already knew the game was perfect.
He already knew that, that what you did, he just wanted to get that one extra goal.
Three-zero.
I can't believe what I'm seeing, but Nass is crushing.
We questioned whether that man on screen was just on screen,
would be tilted off, dropping the series to space station game.
He's been eliminated from 3V3 World Series.
He wasn't tilted already.
This has got to be a nasty test of his mindset.
He's been having to refer to me.
This guy right here, he's for smiling assassin.
He's for smiling assassin.
He quickly takes the pressure in
before the admin ends the game.
No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna get my knife,
but on my terms, when I want to.
Unbelievable, what a level,
and you know, we should probably talk about the fact
that this in, you know, many people's minds
is the match to decide who the goal of 1v1 is.
You know, right now, it's very big, the goal,
now both Nass is on a couple of salt mines,
the conversation's up in there,
but added to is already an insane 1v1 success online.
To become a 1v1 World Champion as well,
For me, I think he's got a very strong goal, kids.
And if it was close, if it was a close series,
then maybe you could argue against it.
At a 4-0, there's no way you could put any argument forward
to anyone who is not that man right there.
We saw the level he can reach when he went to Boston
and he smacked Vitality in that grand final.
He is doing the exact same thing to now put him.
Well, the gentleman did make that final with the hardest
part of these land events, these big events.
He's everything except the grand final itself.
And he's made it here.
He might just be a grand final specialist, 1-3, 1-3, V3.
And I just don't see a way back in to the other side of things.
I don't see how that man can win four on the bounce
against the Nassau.
He's just feeling it.
He's having a great time out there.
I don't see it either.
The kickoff game's been immaculate.
The defence has been way too good.
He's bringing the bikes to the party as well.
You know he's having a good time.
When he's having a good time, he's just this relaxed.
I'm with you, I don't see a way back here.
This is too good, too dominant.
I think he needed at least one of the first two games.
Definitely needs the game up off the time out now.
It's just so impossible to win.
Usually in a position like this,
you need your opponent to tilt.
Just something to give you some free wins.
There's a lot of words you could use to describe Nass.
Incredible, amazing, tilted.
And it's certainly not one of them.
He's just got an incredible mindset,
an incredible amount of self-belief as well.
And his teammates in 3v3, as well as himself in 1v1.
Now both.
What has he got for us?
Early shot, Nass.
Comfortable save with boost as well.
Early reset, throwing in confidence.
An ambush image, let that be close to his little mistakes.
Yeah.
Just letting Nass be so comfortable.
He hasn't really looked uncomfortable.
He's hard even for him final.
OK, he's reading every single play so perfectly Nass.
Barely made any mistakes.
That push made plenty.
Well, that should be 1-0 for Nass.
Didn't get any of this, so it's
going to be the opening goal to the defending champ.
He's got the channel in his inner yank here, yank.
Took it to Game 7 against Boxy in the last seasons,
a year against Sam Semi-final.
That was from 3-0 down.
That looked just as unwinnable as this does.
And Nass feels in everyone.
He just looked so good both.
Let's see what's going to change with the match point.
Championship point on the left.
Last thing now for these two is just
to clean up some mistakes.
Been too easy a time for us to go to Nass's bin.
Lay off, take the shot, usually saved and not far as well,
let that bug in, head on back, reset it, go yet again,
and is he gonna take some C.L. and just keep us on the ground?
Opps go to the air, that's already that's a meeting.
I think with the reset, we've left out,
so that might mean that's a good plan,
but he certainly does not.
That's a nice place to be out there,
I think we need to see the confidence,
try and it needs to start winning that aerial battle,
but we think he's got the pace at least.
It's interesting, Nassir knew that he was visible in the free jump, so he covered really high there, expecting
Nautilus to try to counter the free jump by going over it, and Nautilus stayed just a little bit to reset 50.
But Nassir's so good at adjusting his aerial defense, you'll correct that.
Now, next time he's challenged in the air, he's going to stay low.
He challenged their Nassir, you have seen him here quite composed,
but he thought he might have had the pace, guess now he was looking for a 10 moment.
Even that part of his game showed that he has been able to get going, and he's got the pinnacle.
Respect the challenge, Nath Try!
But it's free, Neil!
I'll see this again!
Nath Bo is completely hidden!
Great timing.
You don't play for Nath to see that one.
I feel like you can see Nath's POV in a second.
It'll be a completely surprising challenge, though.
This is what he needs as well.
Just need something dominant. This is gonna help.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Nath Bo is going to make any sort of comeback in this.
I don't know if Nass would ever call for a game, but he needs some easy matches on the road.
There's a couple of quick ones here. This is the perfect start for the wall dash.
Just to grab the mid boost and a fake chance into the flake.
Nass, we all can take an outlet if we want to turn on that.
Nass is giving him the ball back. Could this be 4-0?
On top, down-mote. Nass free jumps to fake up through. Nass still gets a touch on it.
I like the higher first touch, well now he's going to put a higher of his air dribbles off
the wall, gives itself more chance to get the reset, direct, looking realistic, but still
didn't really a cool trigger on it.
He hasn't been willing to pull that trigger this entire series, again playing the
high percentage chance this one, it's trying to devour, but he also knows that he's
got the lead, he doesn't have to have forced any of these plays, he's certainly not,
although he has given that once an ass.
But yeah, in this game it's forgivable.
We can note that he's not been called trigger as often
as he usually would with his slippery sets.
But with a 3-go lead, just two minutes ago,
you can get into these back courses in a long time.
And this favors clear of the advantage massively.
Safe for Nass.
He's in a fight.
And now Napo's going to jump for the demo.
He stays grounded.
Gold line saved.
Now Napo, wow, himself off the crossbar.
That does keep the ball close into possession at least.
The 0-1 can now get one back right here.
That's a reset, it's gonna make it even easier for me soon, and there it is!
Three to one!
And now God's need is a lot more tenuous.
And that's what it looks like. You thought you could maybe go all the way for that back part of his.
You sit really far across the now. I'm not sure what he was expecting, but
Nass is always gonna have to pace his acceleration to get that into the near post.
And a lot of that's just sitting on the right side of the board, then three-foot and you're crossing it at the right post of the Nalpo backslot.
He could have had that left side as an encumber, but that's went the other way.
It's now one, 90 seconds left. It's a lot of time in one-to-one.
Expect Nalpo to just keep going into the air, leave for as long as possible so he can possibly set up.
He's got a prioritize recovery.
Okay.
Okay, he can recover on the kickoff. Oh, go over there then.
There is. There's the confidence with the mechanics.
Huge air dribble, they'll rival anything with Sina at the edge in the start of it to go up by three, I guess.
This is what we saw against Moxie in the last year's Worlds Final where he built a Moxie, a fantastic defense, he's shadowed, he's positioning, but we're now producing that, that's undefendable.
When he gets the ball in that position, when you mentioned earlier JV is really getting to the recent early enough, there's nothing Naskin do, he goes low, he's going to flip high, he comes high, he's going to face.
And he is going higher again with that first touch, great 50 by Nassau, collecting it into a safe position, he even saw the demo attempt coming, he's got enough boost to threat, threaten something, they've played for the boost shield, Nassau's taking a step.
Well Nautilus does so well, just plays the clock, forces you to play around it, Nautilus covers this one back forth.
He's read that, Nautilus is going to take the first time shot, says Nautilus does collect it, can he make a game of this one?
Nautilus, he's going to rush please, not going to be close!
Who goes again?
That's directly on target here. The reason that was focused is because I think he knows that he's gonna get pop-up or air dribble-bucked or something
With that straight-lane dribble and that's just gonna over him and it does both in
That's had the ball in the third big spot
If you do anything with that as you said he could take it. He's in the sky and now Moe wanted the instant challenge
It worked out for the demo, but too much romance by the ball quickly. That's that's the dog's bumpy does well
Alpo's still there, he can't find a demo, but he has grabbed a corner boost.
I still cannot get demoed, needs to score right here, Nass.
Working out the one I need, oh my, can he shoot, yes he can!
Goal after goal, has been taken away.
Alpo, in luck, comes to ball, it is his best game yet.
And Choddy, it still might not be good enough.
This is what he saw against the adds, no lead is safe against this guy, you saw him in the qualifier as well against Osak.
He could come back from, it seems like he defends this, he's only done it by one time.
Has he gone up for nine?
Let's see what it's like to get off top, he's gonna have one last crack, it's a time to die, it's a false ocean!
That might be enough. It is. No sleep, no combat for Nas, but he was a fighter.
He thought this he could get. And that's what it took for one. He's
gonna do that at trio more times. That's exhausting. It does look like it's been
exhausted. And no please. Just had so much stress in that final sequence.
It's it. Feel like a grand final though, fellas. Honestly, is that it? Really? Is that what we're going to get?
Is it just going to be mass dominating? We're not going to see perhaps now both Fiery's aerial game.
We're not going to see a punch back at the counter attacking.
We do get the first game win on the board and now it does open up a lot of possibilities.
And that's what we're waiting for, we're waiting for serious threats in the air,
we're waiting for the mechanics, and it looks like now they are part of the match
that Nass is going to need to worry about. I'm not worried about him though,
he's still coming back, so composed, not rushing, not panicking, always knows how
to perfectly time his comeback so that he gives no chance to see the opponent
while he's scoring goals, keeping the comeback rolling. He's not really taking
many risks. And that was the one where you would have you are a NAS fan in this one is that if the
reverse it starts to happen you do get worried that your player is going to start you know looking
towards all of that drowning feeling when things are going wrong. But Cedric just doesn't think
NAS is that player. He's going to have to outclass him. Oh no way, NAS is he going to give him an
edge. He's going to keep playing his game. He's going to be tested in high level one,
Come on, D1 for four of it.
Finish your journey back to back, saltmine champ.
You've got it.
Wins for fun.
Need a lot of grand finals.
You should be trying to dash with it.
Never have been asked about it.
Well, Nass, go in.
Deal here, Willy, go over the boat,
but share it, it'll need you well.
Oh, yeah, Nass.
Freelance is now in a good position,
so instead of first, that's 100 boost.
Nass, Nass, thanks for living.
How much longer do you want to stick around
on this plate with that boost, huh, Ul?
Just launch it up high.
makes the 100 boost, Alphonse literally doing all of this to avoid giving up the ball in this position as he gets the 100's.
And that's a nice bait, Alphonse just fends well, sell the ball and Alphonse trying to go mid boost down back corner but he gave, that's a looking step.
He's defended!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
The jump is such as well for Nass, but it's top-ranked perfection.
It's been a story of the day for Twisted Minds, it's one of the day for Dope of Loose 3.
Then you win one, that really could go either way.
Is he awake now? Is this the level we're going to see from here to the end of the match?
That's the one thing that was had for himself this entire series.
Those moxie level flicks have always been online.
It's just in everything else.
Now Nas, he spots it.
He's got the target in his sights.
The lazy.
Maybe to lay it up in his arms to get the chance for the cut across.
He's got the upper left corner. He's deleted.
He can get the shot on target as well. The bomb forced him off the line before he got demoed.
He's now nashed. He's all in hand, looking to make it 1-1.
This is where he looks comfortable. He's got the early reset.
He's looking for the way back on.
Yeah, still safe though. He can wave dash right to the boost.
Don't get back quick though. Nothing to jump on.
It's off the goal line and in.
The last result that he was going to find something into the back corner.
Yeah, from this perspective it's a lot easier to read than that, it's just got to read though.
Oh, dear in me. That is the first proper mistake from Mass.
Another one. It's slowly getting better and better. It was never going to be a quick
reverse lead. He's got possession yet again. He wants to try and take this into a free goal
lead. On his way up again, that blind spot, Boston's play early. Those are the moments
where they contest your mentor, when the counter starts not going your way.
Oh, your opponent starts building in confidence.
You know he's got a fantastic mindset mentality.
Nass, but maybe you can't forgive him for thinking that was a little bit unlucky.
Nass, stay close enough that with two minutes in a while,
they aren't joining, and the man hasn't scored yet.
Yes, just like the last game, he really did take the same before getting his goals.
The game later this time, he is going to get one in the first half.
He's headed to his aerial defense though, he is just getting in the way and not really leaving many outplay opportunities, any openings on that point to explain it.
The way that Nalph is playing that is just so unlike him, it's just like he's psyched out.
The moment he sees Nalph up here, yeah, he's a bad thing to do in the original play.
It's a flick, can I just grab the 100 after a position?
Now sticking with that 100 again, goes to Nalph.
He's going to go into the air, always buys a point, takes that outlet, just bounces
NAS back into goal.
Let's go, let's go for that again, then shall we?
That's nice then!
And that all draws.
A little bit of help from Mr. Crossbar.
Step on, beat your opponent, he didn't expect you on the first crack, it was above the
bar, but that time it was perfection.
Throw him out, bow bars down.
Just gets that two goal lead, a little safety cushion.
Maybe you start to get worried if you're a nice fan, a gentleman's fan, you want
EU to get something today other than eliminations. This is a lot of momentum, a
lot of possession, control of the match. Certainly in the favor of the
Defending champion.
Got some of the NASA turds.
Nalpho just picked a few challenges,
but it's a critical early and it's open!
I can't look down to it!
And that drowning, that sinking feeling is getting more and more!
Man, that flip from Nass on another day,
he bricks it top left,
but he has it down and he tried his hardest to get back.
But it was pixel perfect for a 4-1 lead.
You've definitely been in a situation, CJ, being reverse slept.
How does that feel?
What point do you start to think about that?
Like, hold on a minute.
Is it game two, is it game three?
It's looking like there's a sweepers on us.
Can't get back again.
Thanks for the drive by JB.
I'll be on my final.
I'll cop that.
Five lines in our mind.
I think it's pretty much losing game four.
You're joking about it.
For sure.
You think, well, you're pretty...
One half to minute three, you think, ah, I got a reverse equal.
Yeah, you joke about it, but then it's slowly that bubble just creates a get bigger and bigger in your mind.
And I don't think that hurts, I think that but a game, five wins.
And we mentioned it in 3v3 in any format show, you got 1-2-C, Neo Tokyo, it just feels like the series is tied up.
It thickens arena, in a grand fight.
Oh, no.
Anything can happen.
Hey, careful. It's been a great day for North America.
All right now, Nappa has got all the momentum, all the cards.
And everything is going his way after a serious Nappa.
Oh my god, a follicle!
7 to 1!
Nappa is all over them!
What a shot as well.
Absolutely slammed it.
It's 71 miles an hour from inside his own half.
Nass is gonna play on though, we've got him, the comeback king.
Let's find out if he can make this one happen.
I speak, he's still losing, now he's losing everything at the moment.
Romain in Nass, isn't nervous to this point, I can tell the fear is with his prediction.
He's standing up now, he's not confident, just want to save from Nass.
Oh, oh, oh!
He's keeping it alive, he's going to get the gold and the other end out, most of
our covers.
And Rocket League is such a confident face game, you are always up against your
most recent result, that's always how you feel about the way you're playing and
situations and positions that national scoring from earlier is just not working.
Eight to one, there is no shot, no way, no how.
Yeah, that was not two.
Yeah, this is the game.
If Nast playing off from here, I think it's to try to fatigue his opponent.
I think he's trying to make this as long and drawn out as possible.
He knows that for him, this series just needs one more game.
Out of the remaining two, I think he needs it both.
So it's not going to 7, which I'm still doing.
It's not going to game 7.
Evil one is supported to be as exhausted as he is possible.
Oh, come on, guys.
All right, yeah, he's still on class.
Let's not forget about that.
Well, maybe for a friend now after scoring.
All right, I don't know.
Yeah, that's how many you can get.
Two goals in there, of course.
I do want to push you guys on this.
You can see swimming players, especially in Wands,
where they don't like taking the time out.
They always just want to go next.
Is Nass one of those players?
I think he's going to take someone there right now.
Yeah.
early six the game seven against the reigning RLCS one new one of world champion and I will
say Johnny when that's lost three in a lot hitting it's a game four I did mean it but
I didn't see this happening I saw it no way back to now both you look black you look
so over my tears and we weren't trying to get us there we just didn't see a realm
a possibility of reality where he's 9-2-1 hitting to a Neo Tokyo game 6.
In 90, he added the World Champion.
You want to hit a double look on me?
You want to kick the ball off the goal?
You think you're toying with me?
I'll tell you something, that's not happening.
What will happen is the double.
That's something that's got a little bit more momentum going into the next game.
Definitely going against, yeah.
I don't want to look.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Oh, of course he has, even when he's losing by six, he's still having a showman.
Still needs to torture, you know, for the filter of confidence back,
the positive rather than just enabling us to the player now
but have all that momentum straight away to the next game
and he's going to take up almost 10, 9, 3, 2 in a row, 2 away.
And the thing is, it's unlike 2, unlike 3s.
If the timeout is cold, Nass can look behind him and see no pain.
It will be all up to him to just find an answer to this.
And that's different as well, because as we saw during his actual qualifier,
even during that event, he had his brother behind him, just like a little bit of confidence.
We also saw last year, Moxie would actually on occasion just ask random questions to the admin
just a few, like someone was there with him.
I need to see Snatsky sprinting to the stage right now.
You can see the gentle mates coach get out there and provide some words of support.
Momentum has come for a complete lease one.
And it's definitely support because it makes for an apple for the defender of Rathrethe.
No doubt, online, just like in the building.
Nas is the proud favourite.
And he will call time now.
He needs something to lift him back to what we're seeing earlier.
He's lost control of the match.
More power nap. More power nap time for Nalpo.
What can he do with two minutes of sleep?
Has he went through enough water?
Lovely contract at the sit counter.
That's maybe the dangerous part, if we do end up going to seven.
He drunk Leon Dry last year.
Now, Boat, the first, the inaugural 1v1 RLCS World Championship win against Moxian.
Could he do the unthinkable?
He lost that game three, it was an 8-4, I think, and he looked completely out of it.
He looked done.
And I feel like if Nassie's a dump found it, we are.
Because this has been an immense turn around the crowd still trying to get behind Nass.
The smiling assassin that's not smiling as much you getting to me at Tokyo
Now this is the point where it starts to feel very real
At that fourth game you think that's never gonna happen to me so I can go. Okay, whatever now you see
Me in Tokyo as your next map and you think to yourself
What would I give to not go to Champions field?
Nass has had two of his lives extinguished.
He's got two more, but he can't afford for Nalpo to continue researching.
Nass is getting himself to wake up. Here we go.
Nalpo's getting to that level of his 1v1 gameplay where it's the opponent saying,
well, what can you do?
And now it's up to Nass to figure that problem out.
He said it himself. He said, I don't worry about what it's doing.
I just played my game, but he's got all the possession, but he's got all the boosts.
He can really play, luckily the way he wants.
Kiko's too, he's just going out most favorite time of the time again.
See if that time now costs to play dividends.
Best first touch there from Nass, Nappos sweats the food off his plate,
and that's a beautiful bounce for Nappos.
Sets up, Nass tries to fake the first shot and does well just to get him to pull the trigger early.
9th version of Nasus could be mid-trouble the early flaky nose
Alpo knows that he's gonna want to flick early
Oh
For the first Alpo, so for a demo, it doesn't land, he's gonna absolutely use your own attacks
Oh
Yeah, all the pros said they're not gonna be on the boost when they're up near K-Mode
Sorry to tell you they were a little bit of a snakehead about that
Now Nasus is gonna be up to the scornade
With a 50-50 win
Now Alpo just launched himself
We didn't get the 50, that's the one where you're putting everything on the goal.
On the line, on the assault of that 50.
All important, 3rds goal for Nas, I feel like he needed it a lot more than Alpho does.
Kick off, Alpho again, you know CJ, much to your point.
It's getting the better of these kickoffs.
On the 1st kickoff and it didn't work out for him,
it might not work out again because the shot is on there.
Oh, no, why?
Nas keeping it alive though, got to play a patient game.
Apple has just changed as he wall dashes towards the ball for keeping momentum so we can pick up that boost.
Now wait a minute, it's scornable, it's hard to tell.
But then they're pretty good jump, pretty jumping to cover the near post.
This guy is trying to keep the ball close. He's hitting the ball into his crossbar, his back post.
They're recovering in the blink of an eye.
And first, you're on that one under boost. Now for Flamie balling.
Bravo, they're trying to just hold in.
That's what great recovery that is.
Still sees the opponent, thrust off the wall, and that's a job!
Didn't have to try a demo in. He's just looking straight by here.
He left the ball, which was already pretty surprising.
He must have been expecting obviously something other than absolutely.
Maybe a hard loss with the off the wall, so Naskov had scored,
but he just didn't touch it, grabbing that corner boost and want to start the mass.
He's not winning the kickoffs, but he's winning on the scoreboard.
It's a good spot for him as well, couldn't quite get the trip up.
As is taking his time waiting knows that
Alpha's reading the one that's got to try and force the pace here
We'll see him
This is more what we saw earlier on now bow over to the wall. Can you try to cook up?
That's just fun take it as Martho. Now. I was waiting if they're my lances to the dogs
Well for once it looks like the decisions from nas
That was slightly suspect, not taking any kind of dangerous shot on target, just making out of the ball when he had the outburst first kickoff win of the game.
And now he's been giving the ball away, he can't be seen possessively.
So that was the dominant. This little bop on the other track, 3-1.
So the 2-2 in terms of kickoff's won each, but the throw away.
But he wanted to favour an ask, because he's been better in midfield overall.
He's always able to be in a swipe but behind you see Nappa is the quicker of the two players,
but he's always lined up in a position that he can be bumped.
Great recovery from Nasa keeps him relevant.
Crucks back down, they've both got a hundred.
We've got one of the second speed, yes he does.
Casual bump is available!
And Nasa's ready to switch so high there.
Nasa dodges the bump, it was incredible defense.
Early pre-shuffle now, but he's been caught out.
He's been caught out, it's four wide.
Nasa's daylight between himself.
And his opponent.
Drop piece that ever, just a little bit closer.
But there's still more than half the game to go.
Now for Nees to keep his kickoffs going his way.
But he also needs something quicker. I love that from Nass.
Take the ball. Open the fake kickoff.
And now this is all his. Now for his low boost.
Try to make something for that bounce as he can't take a shot.
He's on the back off the top of the boost.
Instead he could have turned it out of shot but it was risky.
His potential angle, Nass 100 boost. Can he make it five on Alfa? Keeps on three jumping, he's bunny-hombing in defense.
Nass wants to load 50, Nass wins out.
One, Nass was missed his touch.
He goes back to the ball, flashes across the net to make the scene.
But this is still for the boost strong.
Desperate Nass, reset secured.
Will he use it?
Oh, he does!
He's late!
He landed on him so that I don't seem to get back just in time.
Nappon, on the line, two minutes remaining, he's running out of time!
Another blunder by Nas, and he gets scored on at the other end.
Did he get the power on this Nappon?
I didn't look like it, but it was just in my best of going the wrong way for Nas,
falling into his own head.
He could have changed the angle of the ball enough for Nappon too.
Nappon loses that one.
Nas takes the 12, takes the shot,
And it's in the history of Star Wars! This kickoff is so, so crucial!
He just sticks with it as well.
The shot quality was more than enough.
The real difference, this time inside, off two minutes remaining.
Not hard to game seven in an RCS Grand Final in a long time.
And that's very much like Devois, but here he's done it again!
Six to two.
And if Nalfon can't get something soon,
Neo Tokyo becomes a victory lap.
Yes, the mentality monster has struck again.
He called the time out and he's responded like a champion he is.
Nalfon, are we back?
He made it 12, he made it 12, now it's only 5, I mean it's the only button, that's definitely
whatever it was, get killed, nah it's just made it quick.
The best, most people player in the world!
Most have tried, said tried, not bowed tried!
They were all second best, to not anyone.
The man is Nass!
Ladies and gentlemen, your new 1v1 world champion, Nas!
You gave me whiplash, man.
I don't know which way that series was going to go.
Look, at the beginning you have that locked in something flip, but your mental is so strong.
How did you hold it in there?
Um, I mean, I just, whenever they want one, I try to not get dealt because if you get dealt, you'll lose, so that's probably my biggest thing, and I mean, yeah.
Inspirational. I love it.
Naz, man, I saw you smiling so much throughout that series. It looked like you were having a blast. I know when I'm playing ones, I'm not having a blast. I'm very mad at it, but you have such a good mental. Where does that come from? How do you maintain that?
Um, I mean, on stage, I mean, I don't have my teammates or anyone next to me, so I just
try to have them come with the crowd because it gives me energy and gives me confidence.
Thank you guys.
I always do this when you're a world champion, whether it's threes, twos, or ones, the
stage is yours.
You own it.
The world is yours.
What do you got to say to everyone out there, never you are the one-to-one world
champion?
Thank you to everyone who supported me. I really appreciate it. I'm really thankful.
Yeah, I'm really happy that I won the 1-1 World Championship because I cried a lot.
All right, please welcome me now, Torpy, behind me with the medal.
Put your hands together as we place this on our world champion.
You're 20-26, 1v1 World Champion!
Yeah!
We have a new champion
in the 2026 Rocket League Championship Series, NASC takes the title and I think I just roll
my brain all the way back to Boston. We're in that grand final to become the Boston
Major Champions. We saw him put on one of the strongest solo performances we've ever seen
here on the field where he doesn't have any teammates. He's able to duplicate that performance
again. And then it shows that kind of mentality that you need to have as a 1v1 player and
How hard it can be to bounce back and accredited new boat. He got a couple of games, but that's too strong on the day
And that just shows the player
Growth that he's had over this past year
We for a while for the last like three years or like and actually was that clutch they keep losing in these quarterfinals in North America
Yeah, we're playing there and then he wins Boston major and now with the hardest part the hardest part to play mentally
1v1 in front of the crowd for everything and shows that I'd also like to mention though that he's not alone on this team
Both of his teammates and this coach ran out to go and see him. They made sure that they got up on the stage
They said their congratulations. They tapped him up
They made sure that he felt the love that the crowd was emanating and lots of nas-based chance try thought was also very nice
I just can't believe you forfeit the final game mates. I was like
I mean, no, I think I think I want to say that it just happened.
That was on kickoff. Absolutely. Absolutely looks like horrible to play.
I mean, we saw how long it was.
I don't know which game it was.
I think maybe game four, where he took forever to get to that.
That forfeit. He did forfeit a game earlier.
That's what I think was nine to two on that one.
And there was less time left on the clock.
It was the one where he was at those game three.
It was on sugar.
And he stalled the ball on the line.
He said, OK, cool, we're done here.
Let's get out of here.
This one a minute and a half only down by four goals.
3, 5, 3, 3, it was 5 for 2, 5 for 2, 5 for 2, in game 6, on the final game, 5 for 2,
5 for 2 on the end, it just happened, I don't know how it happened, I'm not a player.
But how dominant his performance was, the nobleness, in the match with him he goes
you know what, I can't do this, I cannot do this, I'm going to voluntarily lose
the championship right here.
I feel like he just felt like he couldn't win the kickoff so it just felt like
every time Nass was winning them, but I thought he'd give it one more try at least to win the kickoff and like if it splits and he
doesn't score maybe you forfeit in the middle of the play, but
Nass, just what a performance you gotta give it up for Nobo. Like you can see how difficult it is
to play 1v1 like that where it is very hard to when you're losing game after game
to mentally battle back and Nobo absolutely did that.
I mean, yeah, he had to dig deep and then you gotta get better to
to turn to him because most people, they would have been.
I mean, I know he's the greatest one,
we won World Champion at that point in time,
but still, I mean, he's down 3-0.
It just seems like everything's going that way.
And he's come back, he's won two big games.
Of course, last week's timeout, I believe,
make him reconvene to beat him 9-1
and then go into game number six, though.
You just want to make sure that Nassid opened up the scoring
and Nassid opened up the scoring,
constant pop, constant flick by,
that little cut by is right there,
just to give Nassid a little bit of space.
I mean, it's just made all the difference.
I mean, kickoff goes alone.
I don't know how many, I don't know how the system
actually counts them, but it's going to be a lot to a little.
Just a quick thing as well.
It was 7-2 in the final game.
Basically, all right, I got light here on the Internet.
I can't believe that's happened.
But in the end, the fact that, like you say,
you've got a minute and a half to go,
and that is just highly on the goals.
Who's seeing the camera people go on to the stage?
Maybe Nubo just saw the right here on the walls
and thought, I need to give my crown over to the new one,
the world champion.
I mean, it's just tough.
There's a lot of emotions out there.
You're by yourself, I mean.
Yeah.
You feel like it's all going your wrong.
You feel like you've probably put a lot of pressure on himself
to go out here and win for himself.
Show the world, prove to the world that last year was a fluke.
He still has the best ones playing the world.
And it's over-token.
They try and say, I don't want to play it no more.
How are you going to dig deep in the first place?
He didn't come back in the series alone, so.
He's had a long day, too, Bear in line with the 3v3.
No, it was not a 3v3.
It was not the world championship.
Still did an incredible job to bring it back
to make a competitive.
For a new but still got a huge mountain proud of but he's crowned us full
I do like it the way that one of you just said it like with that forfeit
It's it is sort of almost a symbolic nobody taking the crown and handing it to me like here
You know what I can see you want some I'm not gonna keep finding the chance here like no
I take the cake over. Yes, absolutely. Hey, man. Listen. I know I'm not out there, but hey
I had $25,000 on the line. I'm doing everything
I'm not leaving that stage. I'm leaving. I think money matters. That's no button walks away with 25k in it
Okay, also the uh, I mean that's 150,000 out one more check in the maze that does conclude the
2026 1v1 rock league championship series congratulations to mass as the 1v1 portal champion
Let's focus again on the 3v3 action that will continue tomorrow
We will also be crowning the 2v2 champion tomorrow
But this is our 3v3 bracket the main action across all the days of competition here at the world championship
We have five North American teams left and the only other three teams all have won an
International event this year. So it's gonna be still very difficult for North America to do it
But like if it's now or never for an NA all-grandfinal at this point
It's the best chance North America has had for a little while and that's actually North America
It's happening in Dickies on home turf. Yeah, Camus is no longer involved a topic still around
He may well get to the grand final might get my loser again might make it the three times of medallist
But regardless get a grand final when North America baits. They're shaking you. Are you shaking your head?
Somewhere else, man
I mean, I mean you got all five in a team left one from Mina to from you three best regions in rocket league
Of course all represented on Saturday that makes sense to me
No, no, what doesn't make sense at all 5 and 18 here left. Hey
You check go ahead at me have a this is probably the craziest turn we've had in a
Very long time remember the last actually ever. I mean back when the tournaments were this crazy
We didn't know they were crazy because we had enough
This is this is incredible us is happening a decade into the eastboard here and we have finished our gameplay for Friday
We could take a look at the schedule for Saturday
We will finish things off with the 2v2 grand finals there at the end, but to kick things off, we have more 3v3 action over the course of Saturday.
So, see the schedule. Here it is. There's the schedule. We'll see what we got.
Oh, we got the lower round.
Oh, it's the first.
The late teams early here.
We can people wait to see Raine defending the Rockets champion of the world, NRD.
It's going to be busy in here when NRG are playing versus foot with Justin another incredibly loved North American team and player
I saw it was a day away. We saw him
It was like three thousand days since his first appearance at an RLCS Worlds event
Yeah, and he's back again and then FUT foot just get to perform in America for it
And then we got the 2v2 finals Zen's already out of this tournament
but at least we'll have a day of rest before that.
But also Falcons could be eliminated by that point.
So see how that one goes.
Who knows how it's going to go, folks.
If you are in the Fort Worth area
and you have a chance to get to the stock yard tonight at 9.30 PM,
the Rocket League is coming to life on the Cowtown Coliseum.
We're going to transform it with spectacular projection
light show celebrating the game's energy and action.
If you're in Fort Worth, head down to the stock yards
and experience a rocket league takeover.
I'm going to try to check that out.
That's cool.
I didn't know what was happening.
That's the coolest spot in Fort Worth to go anytime and normally.
But pretty cool is to have that Rock League thing run right now.
What did you say?
We got three and a half hours.
We got time.
I need to notice on that, but I'll be there.
Folks, we're not going to take it perfectly.
We're going to take a bit of a longer break now.
We're going to see you tomorrow for the continuation of the Rock League World Championships.
The door is open at, I believe, 9.30 with the show starting at 10.
Gameplay at 11.
We'll see you there, the Rock League.
10 o'clock.
Bye.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You taught you a lesson
But I never let you
I'm gonna make the truth
I said to you, it was a lie
I was standing to change
You moved me and I'm all over the place
What if I can't walk away?
