In that line
Future it won't ever run
My feet
Was bone dry
It was bone dry
I was drunk, start with dancing in the night
That's like a mad girl, hope that we can stay without the light
I was drunk, start with dancing in the night

On our feet was bone dry, and we's bone dry
It's got you too

Want to follow up, want to look in
Give it all up, we don't want to lose
Your control, control
I'm playing this game, hey oh
I'm playing this game
I'm too afraid to keep the world here
Get the man from the gas can
There's a play to it
Here in Fort Worth, Texas, Esports' greatest fans have started gathering for Esports' greatest event.
It's the Rocket League World Championships. Here on day number five, things are getting electric.
I'm already here first touch, getting the crowd amped up inside. North American fans have to be extremely happy with the way things have played out.
Five North American teams still on the bracket, but of course by the end of the weekend, only one gets to lift that trophy.
It's getting hot outside here.
So with no further ado, come join me inside Dickey's Arena
as we start the Rocket League World Championships.
Dickey's Arena makes the match!
I'm loving it, the crowd has shown up to play early and bright.
How about it?
What's that?
What's that, man?
USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!
I've only bet five North American teams in the top three.
I've been doing it for more than five members.
So we all five in there here to play on Saturday, babe.
We've never seen that before.
What do we do?
This is the earliest USA champ I've ever heard.
I've already done it twice when we've been sitting here.
Well, they love it.
They love their three letters.
Listen to something.
You're here in Fort Worth, Texas.
They do USA champs as soon as they wake up
by the end of the day.
Right before you get to get to play.
Hell yeah, bro.
That's right, bro.
That's right, bro.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're here for another day
at the World Championship.
Of course, we've got some house keeping.
Let's take a look at our season overview.
How did we get here?
So much rockery being played over the course of the year,
and we are here finally at the World Championship.
We've already done our 1v1 final today.
2v2, or yesterday, 2v2 final will be today.
But of course, all of these teams competing in this tournament,
all these players with something on the line, something.
Yeah, I mean, I think every single team
realizes the gravity of what they are playing for.
They can sense the crowd being on their side.
They can sense the crown being very against them as well.
The Reds of Atlanta streets.
The Reds of Atlanta streets.
The Reds of Atlanta.
The Reds of Atlanta.
The Reds of Atlanta.
The boys are here to play today.
The main event coming up later today.
We've got two more chances to get there in the final.
But the crowd's ready for the three.
Let's take a look at one of my favorite graphics.
The Contenders graphic.
The Contenders graphic.
every time I get to look at it.
All of the AT&T is in the tournament.
All the two from Europe,
and what's the meaning of it?
USA! USA! USA!
You don't have to say it, bro.
You don't have to say it.
You can just jump in this round, boys.
You just jump in.
I now see why you invited me on here.
We had to invite him to noodle as well.
It's a bit hard.
It's all balanced, Stumpy, you know.
Four of Americans, one room.
They've now got a taste of what it's like to be a European Rocket League fan.
Woooo!
Here we go!
It's great, isn't it good to feel European guys?
Woooo!
Let's get the prize pool, let's get the prize pool graphic up there.
Listen, these players still play for a lot of money on top of being crowned the world champion.
Hey, so to be made by me, listen, there's a lot of money.
100,000 for a person, which is a lot of cash.
I do a lot of these $100,000 right now man.
I ain't gonna lie, one thing paid the bills.
That'd be great.
Two gallons.
Two gallons.
Two gallons.
Everybody stick around.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah, that's what I'm like.
Okay.
All right.
Let's shift the topic here.
We'll shift the topic.
More North America.
Can we talk about DNA domination yesterday?
Because my god, it was so great.
Let's take a look at the bracket.
Because man, it's just a beauty to see all these teams.
We saw again twisted minds take on SSG
SSG winning that at four, Jorpey.
And then rebellion also take more vitality, a win there.
I mean, this is, I came with them looking at a bracket like this.
Okay, they put on a show, man.
First killer was all over the place in that vitality match.
Talk about Zach revealing, yeah.
Take it down the king of dinkies,
a read a monkey boot is not in this tournament anymore.
Let's get into it.
Let's take a look at the twist in my eyes versus SSG highlights.
Jordan!
When they see these teams climbing, what was the thing that stood out to you the most?
Speed.
Speed and reveal.
Exactly.
What was the thing that stood out?
Speed and reveal, exactly.
Are trying to get across to kill Killear.
They run for their money in terms of dynamic duo.
Now we'll wait and see what happens.
Xenon has already been a little few.
We're not going to talk about that now.
When we're talking about the 3v3,
K.R.K. was on that team.
Alright, anything these two were faster.
They were better.
Reveal was playing the best I've ever seen a play.
Him and Zack when they come up together,
it's absolute magic.
Yeah, didn't really have to do too much because teammates were lifting so heavy or you can see the frustration on the side of twisted minds
I mean look it's just highway after highway they were smashing them
And I thought Thanos was waking up midway through that series Bungie Lube was coming alive, but it was too little too late
They got that one game. That's all they were gonna get for reveal
He looks the same no matter what whether he's going to lose
I can't ever tell what's going on in this line, but I can tell what's going on
And that's scoring a bunch of goals.
Yeah, popping off for his team, and I'll pop it off for him as well.
So great game, both sides of the field, man.
Space station, up and loving this team all season long.
They got better and better.
There's been a little bit of adversity, some were so reflective.
But that's okay, because you walk the walk, you talk the talk.
And that's what space station are doing right now.
Their progress has been unbelievable.
Unbelievable like if we look back to the series with Falcons
The biggest question was not sustaining the pressure and keeping that aggressive play style for these young guns
But it was just about do they have enough to know what they don't need to know in that moment
Can they get over some of those internal rhythms that hadn't cost them in earlier series this time coming in this tournament?
I mean, they're not only playing
Smoother across the board see it like constantly picking apart the backboard defense, etc
But they looked like again
They're playing with that kind of young confidence of we don't know what we shouldn't know and we can beat anybody
And if you're doing that against twisted mind
There's nobody you really can't go toe-toe with. I know speed changes, but this is a scout team
I mean this this is a giraffe's insane
I think also interested minds they really look objective earlier on the tournament let alone them placing a team
That's just fundamentally at world's better than them. They completely outclass twisted minds SSG
They're a really exciting team to watch as I said earlier
Zack was the guy in previous rounds
It was revealed but really came to life and twisted minds mentally
They're gonna struggle to bounce back let alone them when you're getting slammed in every single game and there is no having you back
There's no happening back. Absolutely right and not just for twisted minds
But also for vitality because they ended up taking all rebellion baits in I mean rebellion made sure it work up
Oh, yeah, somebody play around first kill with all one yesterday. FK playing the best ball
He's ever playing in his life
He took his final estimations first killer. It's the best player in North America at the moment.
He looks absolutely unbeatable. Yesterday he looked incredible against Vitality.
You know, again, they've had their issues. Social media has been playing a really big fourth man role on any team that they end up placing.
But rebellion were unreal.
We came into that match saying, like, it's all about the supporting cast between Zen and First Killer.
And like LJ and Kofors have had some of their criticism because first killer is always performing
You know, he's gonna bring his best every single match
How was your support a cast gonna show up in LJ play some of the best ball I've ever seen in play Kofors?
Well, Kofors was excellent in the midfield on defense on offense LJ in that last game
He was cut and left and right
He wasn't losing a single 50 the fight by talent
They couldn't get anything on
Basions energy between the boys two all three of them first kill is popping off and also I loved his interview too
He said listen this is another side. He's just a player. I'm a great player
I'm first-killer for a reason he's not playing around just the mental space isn't at the moment. He's dangerous
I saw first killer pop out of his chair
Hype and kofa up when he hit that double after first killer hit that hard shot like like first killer has evolved
When it comes to how he is with his team on the stage, I love seeing this version of first killer
The first killer stats there over the course of that series
That's a casual first-killer stat line right there.
You know how much he's averaged? He's averaged like 465 points per game.
1.02, 1.2 goals per game, too. He's not playing around.
It's a lot.
Who's he got later on today?
Who doesn't know about Falcon?
Oh, he's got Falcon.
Yeah, Falcon.
How do you feel about Falcon?
How do you feel about Falcon?
Yeah.
How do you feel about Falcon?
I saw you waved up.
Yeah.
You were going to say any other team, then you went Falcon.
Yeah, you're like, oh, give me a like, oh.
I mean, I'm going to talk about Falcon.
That's a good team, man.
That's a good team.
That's a good team, but I'm not gonna come from that right?
I'm not, I'm not worried.
I'm not gonna take it, you know?
Yes, sir.
First time ever in my life, I wanted to get in there for a second.
This was a mistake.
This was a mistake.
I got a little bit of hard.
You betrayed them, is what you said.
A little bit of betrayal.
Listen, they made me hear it too.
I don't care.
That won't happen again, though.
I'm good, okay.
This is great.
Look, if first killer keeps playing like it is, it might be easier.
Who knows?
I mean, there's so many NA storylines to talk about.
Rebellion's one of them, we'll keep an eye out for him.
Now I think it's time to get into the top plays and who better to take over the top plays
and this guy right here is Space Man.
Come on, let's get into it.
Woo!
It's not for Snoop-O-One, but this was a low 50-50 on the ground.
He uses his reset all the way to get down and jump in front of the ball.
It was about as good as you could expect and it was so good that we actually talked
with Rockstar about delaying GTA 6 one more month.
Let's keep it going.
Number five, that's the reset.
It's the domain expansion from Mike Tyson, if you will.
Noss catches it and watch this.
Oh, a little fake opposite corner.
He's going off the coach.
It's so beautiful all the way down.
Again, Noss, one-to-one champion,
could be the MVP of the entire tournament
if things go this way.
And we'll see if they do just that.
And number four, it's Zack, who really stepped up in,
I want to say, the last third of this year.
I know he's had some quite some marks
about the validity of this offensive team
and how they can really keep all three men up at a time.
But this is where Zack really starts
to find his groove, his rhythm.
And we'll see exactly how far SSG can really
go all the way down the field.
But again, now to number three.
Our top three plays is FK, the Coyfer on a counter.
And might I say, as I would be over in a little bit of them,
can you give me a try?
Yeah!
Pretty good.
God help me, because how you can stop this one.
It's going to be nearly impossible with how good
the she may is on counterattacks upfield.
And now to number two, Zach to Diaz.
This is just another beautiful play from Esuji.
Small moments where it feels like you feel like the counters
are going to start to break down?
Absolutely not.
T-Face was yelling about earlier in the day,
through the corner game, to make imposition
to be set up towards an offensive third in the center of the box and what happens when
they're there.
Good things happen, magic happens in that space.
Watch this one more time.
Against the bait.
Nice pass.
Good finish.
You got to hit those on land and now to number one.
It's Diaz, pushing SSG all the way through the end.
This is where SSG flies in high pressure moments.
The original Diaz.
He's playing a pre-familie to amulite surrounded by a magical lock and a direct line with
the SSG's preeminent hand.
This is all about how you get those mechanics in small details that matter all the time.
And boy did that.
Don't forget about that.
SSG!
SSG!
SSG!
SSG!
Listen, SSG!
That was the SSG top play!
That was SSG!
That was SSG!
That was SSG!
That was SSG!
That was a little bit of ass, freaking in there.
Unfortunately, I don't know why they wanted to play it.
I was just with them after that.
That's all SSG plays the entire thing.
You know what I mean?
There are a lot of people who were popping up yesterday.
It makes a lot of sense.
You gotta give it to them.
That's fair.
I was just like, oh, it's just SSG all the way down.
That's right.
more teams today. Okay, okay. After kind of a shaking rooms,
SSG finally like their back and form something else is coming
back. Alienware collegiate clash. Let's take a look at it.
Elysia, LSU?
back in my day back in my day is a long time ago and you got a lot of yellow cast out there
listen back in my day we didn't have that type of stuff I ain't gonna lie but I wouldn't
let you win.
They weren't sending me to Miami.
Listen I could have done a lot.
I could have done a lot of things Miami.
Miami is a great spot to be in.
I agree.
I like Miami.
So we'll end up seeing a little bit more of that that'll be very very exciting.
And let's just kind of like lock back in though.
Let's lock in, baby.
Towards this tournament, right?
Of course, there's a World Championship winner,
but we also have the MVP race.
This is not the official MVP campaign.
MVP race?
But this is just people I like.
Oh, this is the MVP race.
Yeah, people I like for the MVP campaign.
Give me boxy first.
Mathira?
I like it, Mathira.
Oh, crowd, I like Mathira.
You got respect, Carly.
There's absolutely no saying that Mathira is playing
at the P-Face right now.
How many have you said that though?
Absolutely, how many championships do we have to say that?
How many have we won a lot of the deal?
Well, you've got a lot of championships here, you know.
I'm just stoked in the fire, I'm saying.
He's one of Seven's lands, man.
He's one of the one worlds, though.
But he looks like he might win, right?
We said that every single World Championship,
Vatera has always won.
Out of the last two, he's always won.
He's literally the only one that will out this group.
I'm not out of the station.
I'm just from a four-and-eight level wall, man.
I'm just stoked in the fire.
I think that's 100%.
So, I'm being quite about Vatera.
Vatera has also, in this event,
had an incredible team behind him. I'd love to point out to Juicy alongside with the sporting
cars. Again, one of those people that has had a bit of a flack going towards him.
Juicy gets a tongue real at the World Championship. It's so impressive how he's made to turn
it around. The material when you look to Karmicorp, he is that guy. He is on there. And from
what I can think, and I'm not just doing bait here, if he's won those seven lands,
is that genuinely more lands than North America has won in the entire opening?
Like, yeah, you can't boo him, he's just better.
Like, he's just the guy, yeah, he's absolutely incredible.
He's got 70-point goal participation,
and part of that comes down to, as I said, the supporting cast.
He has the players there, Jordan.
I'm hoping him to get to that point.
He's been elevated by his team.
There you know, we're talking about Monkimoon,
a certain part, really eclipsing everybody else
and being the greatest player that has played in Rocket League.
Butira is closely coming behind him.
If he can get a couple of World Championships
The results starting with this one. He enters that conversation, but he has been excellent over the course of the open era
There's no question about that. It continues at this land. It's the one thing that eludes him
It's only the only thing that's accurately is not been able to get over the mountain
We thought 20.3 would be like the first real check then comes through has that season now mr. Physics takes over
All of a sudden we're wondering when who's next cake
And bear in mind that Boston Major, Nass was not the number one player on the team before
the whole tournament.
It was Oskie.
And that has been not similar this time.
Now it's Nass and facing early and the one-on-one win is Eves going to galvanize him.
He saw how hard the Nubo ended up taking the 3v3 last that they ruined him to the 1v1.
Nassau the opposite of that, he has had a pilot on him, he knows what it's like to have people cheering his name for the second time on LAN.
He's a two-time RLCS LAN champion in two different game modes in the same season.
Well now I'm just curious who you excluded on this list.
Alright, who's next?
Right?
Okay, you guys just asked me two different questions.
No, yeah, I wanted to know who you passed, so I know who you are.
I just wanted to know the whole list, just give it the whole list.
Okay, listen, I'll get you after. Let's get to my next one.
I got Wavy! Give me Wavy in this one!
Wavy has been electric, of course.
You can definitely make the argument for his teammate talk, but I think Wavy has just been phenomenal.
Great impact on the field, and he's been able to give space for play-like talk to like,
Oh, yeah, give it to me! Beautiful play to set it up in there.
Hey!
Yeah, yeah, the way to talk.
Talk to the play really, really good.
I mean, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
He's a great player, man. He's a great actor.
I'm a person that talked up there, talked to the talker,
so that's how I turn this, but maybe you're doing what needs to be done.
Big moment right there.
Really, and also, this is tasting the game,
but, whoa, really selling his base down,
taking lots of dribbles. Watch that.
Maybe it's also just peaking in life at the moment, I think.
He's also got a lot of fans back here, they were up second, we were talking about Wavy yesterday, but they were all talking about him today.
However, his average is 1.04, he's got like 475, a lot of points.
Talk is doing an incredible thing, Wavy has an incredible first.
This move piece is also playing ballin' out too.
100%.
They be not playing ballin' out.
The whole team is right.
Yeah, I mean, the way this first kill is looking,
I can definitely sue them.
I mean, potentially, it's all based
on how the play gets carved in from today, of course.
But we're going to move on to my final candidate here.
First killer.
Give me first killer.
I mean, we said it earlier when we were talking
about it, Jor-B. We're looking at these highlights.
It gets vitality.
First killer is in four.
Oh, man.
First killer.
He really is.
And he always is.
There's never a question of First Killer's ability.
And this one, he took some weight.
Deadlift downfield, doesn't demo both of his teammates
on that goal.
The First Killer's still involved,
putting it in the net anyway.
And he's just doing everything.
He's dishes and diving.
LJ, that's a great, very fast.
That's unreal.
Getting up there for First Killer.
And he has that hard hit where he's just relying
on his teammates to be great
and setting them up to be great.
That's what you get.
LJ, he set First Killer up to get these goals.
And it's just great to see First Killer
having his teammates elevate
His level as well, first killer is doing excellent.
I think it's a great point about his teammates in particular where I think you can see a lot of time
if a incredible player doesn't trust their teammates, they can fall so they can fall.
That last one is unbelievable by the way, shuts out my talent team.
Like, if you don't have a sort of supporting cast, you have to rotate back more, you have to play it safely.
You might double commit a few times.
First killer has played near perfect in every game that we see.
He's just not playing around man, is it far enough?
It's great.
It's the best part of the tournament and he's just not giving up.
He's always in that conversation and what wasn't in any of those highlights was his defense he makes so many saves
In that series and really the entire tournament so far first killer. It's just incredible
He's the number one player in North America right now and I'll stand by hey keep in mind during that entire POV
First killer looks so comfortable with that team with LJ specifically
This is one of the rare times where it feels like FK finally has enough trust in his teammates
Whatever you want to make of that discussion it is he looks like he's comfortable and he can keep that going today
this team can make top three wait
Dazrin did you you said that was the
end of your list yeah
where's the watch
I'm gonna get to this okay thanks
this guy man just anyways wait wait wait wait
it's the question where's the laws
we can talk about it's not an official list
maybe we can add them maybe be there tomorrow
okay I like it it is an official list
it doesn't want to be seen today though
but anyway it's something that's
opinions of where players should be
let's get into it I want you to get to that board
I like that we get a tier list at the very start get up there and I'll be honest
You got like the desk absolutely bottled
We're only gonna do the eight teams that are left so as you can see that's good all these guys they're out
Don't ignore this. All right. We're only gonna do s through C. All right. We're gonna start with
gentlemen
I was about their group it wasn't the greatest they got Bobby
And gentlemen they're gonna be right here. No C's the bottom. No f2. All right. C's gonna be the bottom
We're gonna gentleman's right there
Let's go with let's go with TV
I got to see a little bit more from NRJ before I'm willing to put them a little higher on this thing.
Oh, yes.
Go right.
They must have the one good tune.
The same. If they beat Rebellion, maybe they'll beat you to here, but that's not how it's going to go.
Now, you guys might not like that, okay?
You guys might not like that after a lot of moves.
You guys want a little testament to that?
How do you guys feel about the space station game?
I like space stations as well.
They're my top best players.
They were the most stupid in this corner.
They're the most common-minded, petty falcons.
They're poor games in that group.
They say they're the best either of them,
but then they took out the kid.
Oh, like Monkey Moon Arena?
He lost as soon as we named it after him.
Seriously, I don't think so.
They came to skirt in that group.
They went to get that on both times.
I love it!
I can't do anything to the European this time.
I think I feel about Karmic Corp.
I don't like Karmic Corp.
Unfortunately for the crowd, I actually really do like Karmic Corp.
They are going to be dangerous.
It's feeling a little Season 7 in here right now with Karmic Corp in that upper bracket.
You can't put them anywhere but the S2.
Hey!
What's my space station?
What's my space station?
Okay, perfectly balanced.
How do you feel about that?
If it's not ass, I don't need it.
We don't like how he's got it.
All right.
Rolos should be on your MVP
for the first of all. He's playing
absolutely insane.
All right, you can call it
Flawed Logic, you can call it NA
bias, whatever you want to call it.
But I'm looking at it. Barming Court
And the space station went to five against them, so...
Very 18.
That's the best I've got.
Alright, here we go.
Third problem.
Beat here. I've got to see more from the left.
Chees! Chees!
Chees! Chees!
Come on!
She got the, Shees!
Chees! Chees!
Chees! Chees!
Chees, put them up again!
Chees, chees!
Chees, chees!
Put it down!
Chees, chees!
Chees, chees!
Chees, chees, chees!
That's real talkative.
That's real killer and real value.
Also with the NRG Mickey group,
but they beat NRG,
So I'm not gonna put them the whole way down in the seats here
USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.
You guys are base.
I like the list.
I like the list.
I don't think you like the list.
I think we did this fine.
I'm not gonna touch the list.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we just give it up
for the first touch pre-show real quick?
Yeah!
Oh!
We've been doing this for a long time.
First touch for about five years.
What are you doing?
It's been very, very special to me.
so special that I want to take a quick look back at all of our moments right here.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to first touch an official rocket league podcast.
I'm your host Dazzer and an RLCS commentator.
Enjoy with me is Roll D's and RLCS pro and it's teammates, a CRL champion.
Boys, it's Monday, March 15th. Good morning. How are we doing today?
Hey man, you know, we live and we live. We live. Good morning.
Oh you already know uh I mean technically since it's after 12 it's good afternoon good afternoon
Uh, I hope everybody uh ready for a little show we about to put on got a lot to talk about
That's true. That's true. We do have a lot to talk about. I think I'm gonna just get right into it
Don't let his voice dictate your thoughts.
No, it's not just that.
No, no, it's the fact that the words are coming so eloquently from my mouth.
There's no way that you can misinterpret them.
That's our sport.
All right.
Hey, stop!
Give me some of the best top five.
Give me some of the best top five.
I feel like I'm going to go for it.
I can hear it, bro.
Hey!
How'd you miss that open-ended game, too?
Me, too.
If I was out there.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
You love to yap, yap, yap, or more importantly, tweet,
tweet, tweet, loser has to let turtle tweet from their account.
I'm not worried about that.
I'm cooking up something.
I need Mr. Big Tom himself,
Spaceman to give me the top 10.
Spaceman, where you at?
I have one thing to tell you and one thing only.
In this very broken, strange corner of the universe,
I've been a very bad boy.
Shogun, are you ready?
Of course.
Dude, honors.
What are you on the ground?
It was a heavy ball.
Faith, what side are you on?
Oh, you're over here.
Faith, how you doing?
Bro, where you at?
You over this way?
Bro, let me tell you something right now, brother.
I'm feeling really, really good.
I'm excited to be back.
Yo, what's up with you?
What's up with you, man?
Hey, look at my funds.
They're all wines.
Yeah, that is probably for modern vacations you've taken off.
A hundred percent of the vacation you've been taking.
That's all the drums? That was the drum.
It's a freaking small thing.
Put your cast to look at this ball.
Bear is just puttin' on the seat.
You can't just stand there and just die.
That begs.
You guys got scored on by Gibbs not only scored I clipped on him

I think it's okay. Y'all can sleep.
Just like I'm sleeping on your ass, Steve.
I'm sleeping on your ass.
Lovely weekend. Look at this.
Yeah.
Yeah, how we doing?
Yeah.
Mmm. Okay.
And we are here!
Hey, take your surrender!
How we doing? How we doing?
When I say one, two, you say two to Lou.
One, two...
To the moon!
We've been doing first class for five years.
It's been something that's been very special to me.
Working with roll days and two bates,
weekend and week out.
We do a lot of ups and downs, so I just want to make that.
I love you, man.
Aww, love you too, man.
I love you, man.
That's a ring!
That's a ring!
That's a ring!
That's a ring!
That's all right! That's all right!
Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys.
All right, but again, that's going to be it
to kind of close out our pre-show.
Again, thank you, everybody, for hanging out.
And let's throw it just like we threw it there.
When I say one, two, you say two to Lou.
One, two, two to Lou!
Let's send it to the arena!
This season is a marathon.
Nearly a full year of tryouts, sprints, open, traveling the world for events.
And if you're lucky, it all comes down to just one weekend.
Twenty teams are in the opportunity to compete for the grandest prize in our sport.
And from that elite field, only eight teams remain.
Two things are guaranteed. One team will celebrate the thrill of victory, as the other suffers the agony of defeat.
The chase continues as the four group winners take the stage, looking to prostrate their way to the semi.
And at the end of the day, the French mega-power will battle the twins for the first ever 2v2 RLCS title.
Welcome back to Nikki's Arena and the Rocket League World Championship!
Welcome back to Fort Worth, Texas for Playoff Saturday of the 2026 Rocket League Championship
Series World Championship.
We crowned a 1v1 champion yesterday, we're crowning the first ever 2v2 champion today
and tomorrow, 3v3 title.
The most sage, most hallowed trophy in all our sport, going to be handed to a new team.
Special we've got three consecutive days three consecutive game modes. It's what broccoli is all about. It's all about
Expression of skill expression mechanics at highest level and not only that history has already been made
We have never had five North American teams in a top eight in any event in RLCS history
We have never had only two
European teams left in a top eight as well
So history being made but there's still more to play those two European teams still formidable and also you have mentioned
The EWC champions the Middle Eastern team Falcon still here folks. It's been a crazy year. We started back in November
We are now here down to the final two days of the 2026 Rock League championship series
And I'm really excited to get into the action we have here 20 teams from all over the world
Descended into this arena for the hopes of holding the trophy and claiming the title of Rock League world champion
And we are now down to just eight.
And as you mentioned it, all five North American
representatives still alive.
Yeah, no one would have guessed how these groups went,
how this bracket has begun.
But this is where we are at North America on top.
We had yesterday our lower bracket round one matches.
Every single one of them an elimination match here, Shogan.
And let's talk about Falcons for you.
Let's just go in order.
OK, yes.
We were all excited about Furia.
This was the best performance we've seen
in the room for a long time.
still the Falcons such a force to be right. Yeah, it's gonna hurt even more
because they played the 2v2 match against them the previous day. It is just
they cannot get past these guys Falcons and Furia. They play close so often but
it just seems when it comes to clutch factor when it comes to the ability to
get across the line Falcons are the team and Furia are gonna be
spectating. Yeah, we saw three over times nearly 10 minutes of all
time. We've made 35 minutes of broccoli across five games Falcons
We scored six times so furious defense did show up, but the offense just wasn't there still
I think there's hope for South America's that America's really been struggling this season the last season as well
You know that downward trend has been obvious, but at the world championship fury
I have had those big wins in the group stage
Disappointing exit of course losing to putts at the ball kids, but I don't think this is
hope for South America and
across the board who needs some impressive game.
It certainly has, but South America, as you mentioned, there was so much disappointment
of the way they've been playing, had a very good opening to the tournament,
qualified for our play-ins, had a lot of teams that were there or thereabouts
with MIBR as well, but it's just sort of falling apart here.
Yeah, and it's tough, but it's tough for all two to get the ball to 1-EWC
and they're expected to make this lower bracket run.
run probably top seed full team for Falcons. What is going on there? If they win the world
championship this year no one can ever claim Mickey Bracken. They will have had the hardest
run of pretty much any team in the history of the world championship who actually held
the trophy at the end. Let's talk about the European team killing that happened.
The man city going up against the gentlemates two squads both with a left a little bit to be
desired in the group stage but gentlemen is able to step up here. Yeah both of these
teams really start off quite poorly actually throughout the start of the series. It was
I think that's what it's all
about. Who's going to hit your
level first? I think man city
just waited too long, especially
when you have a series like
this where both teams aren't
playing great. Dropping the early
games. The way they did is
usually a killer blow and we
saw exactly that. So they go
putting up a huge game three
game man city hope it looked
like they might be able to
fight back into this. But yeah,
there are too many deflection
expected by safety of a chance, which, you know, they still kept fighting getting over time when
NG5, but it was just too much. Yeah, Gennamae started the advantage first to the end.
Yeah, outside of game 4 though, mates, the offense just really isn't there. They did
scrape by here, but they're still looking to do a little bit better. They're under two goals
for game throughout this tournament. That is going to have to get better as we get deeper into this tournament.
The Zell mates with the defeat of Man City knockout, the first of our Dickies Arena
Alumni World Champion Seiko, the 2022 World Champion MVP, eliminated from the tournament and it would
continue into our next match, which was one of the biggest stories of the event. Monkey Noon
returning to the building, he won two championships in here, Twisted Mines took on SSG and got sent
home on day one of the crowd. And Space Station just was red hot early on going up three to zero,
but Twisted Mines began to battle back and Space Station as an award has been known to
Choking moments like this. These players can get nervous in front of a proud
Twist of Minds fantastic team. They came on a little bit too late space station found a way to close the boring game
So yeah, put some minds
I think the vibes felt off all week for them
They just haven't been able to click as they usually do that offense had its moments
They had games where they look like they're putting it together
but overall very disappointing tournament for them and tough day the office for for now
the world's final as well,
but we'll talk a bit about that later.
They did make it interesting, but
SXG were able to ice it out in game 6,
led by Diaz solo effort.
Diaz has really been a revelation,
I feel, this season, because
when he first came out of the 3s,
we're all looking at him,
this is one's prodigy.
We've been here, we've seen this,
so Pucknast, Gregg's ammo,
Draali, Gregg's ammo's been
all that many throughout the history of Rock League.
But Diaz felt to me, took the longest
all of them to really sell down into praise.
Yeah.
Now that he has, what a monster he is.
I mean, just the fact that, I mean,
you're kind of looking at the skips,
but the fact that the North American team actually
iced up on Neo-Tokya and got the win.
I think of a field where we have watched us lose so many
tournaments over the course of the last few years.
Such a big thing there for the SSG
as they've stayed alive in the tournament.
There were five North American teams that entered yesterday.
Two of them had to play strong opponents
and both found the win, none other than Shopify Rebellion
knocking out Zen in vitality from the tournament.
It's first killer and then you know they're going to battle.
You know they're both going to play.
It just comes down to the support system around them.
First killer with LJ and Kofi, they perform exceptionally
a game four overtime clutch goal by Kofi and then LJ
with that backflip goal secured series.
This result surprised me given Vitality's inconsistency
on this tournament.
He's really struggled in particular.
He's had, you know, I think his all-time worst event
It's not a reflection of his career or in his true level,
but it shows the pressure that these players have to deal with.
And for our skiller in the other hand, absolute dominant.
You don't have a performance from him.
And not just on the pitch.
I'm loving the energy he's bringing off the pitch as well,
genuinely leading the team in both categories.
The road does not get any easier for them.
If they must take that vitality,
I'm just going to keep on playing over and over.
We've already mentioned a few times how we've now
had a winner from anywhere apart from winning the upper bracket matches that we see today so for
every single team that we have just seen you're still really unfavorable when it comes to winning
this tournament that was all about survival and then that is to me i keep on looking at
falcons if they win this world championship what a run it would be because that would be yet
another thing that they had another like stat that they overturned no one else on
nobody has done it from the lower bracket the entire season could they get it done here
today folks we'll find out we got nine minutes till kickoff here so just to give
just to give a lay of the land from the experts on the desk we'll judge your
opinions versus the people at home we can take a look at the playoff bracket
actually first just to give you guys update on where things are after the
conclusion those matches will I'll get some thoughts from the experts here
in just a second for the playoff bracket we're doing we want to show the
people at home I do really appreciate him calling us
experts twice there in the last three of us I really like that I thought
we were gonna bring in some guests for that part no no this is for you
Actually, okay. Well, let's skip the private part. Let's let's talk about um, some
I'm gonna put a statement on the screen. We're gonna see what they think about it
Yes, or no, you can play along and chat hashtag a hashtag nay you guys before statement number one here
NRG sweep foot
Yeah, your name up easy start here on this one. No Chad. Do you think do you think foot?
I mean, I don't I think this is not I'm not asking you to give me a prediction
But how many games is it going to?
at least six.
At least six, yeah.
Okay, I like six.
No champions, feel.
It is Neo Tokyo. I says you win in Neo Tokyo one time, doesn't it?
It could go seven, I think as well.
Because we have an act for getting an advantage against other North American teams and then losing in seven.
So it's possible.
Okay, how does the chat feel about it?
89% say no. Okay, pretty clean.
Energy them. Come on.
Justin, he's got a...
Absolutely, they're going to pop off.
Let's get on to the next one. See what they have cooked up for us in the back here.
Ideas, feelings people have in the chat, in the world out there.
Thoughts that might be floated around in the Rock League ether. We can judge from here.
NAS scores the most goals today.
No, because I don't want that one going that long.
Okay, okay. Well then, who do you have? Who do you have scoring the most goals?
Have you had those?
Oh, give me a... I have to pick some one.
From us, because it's kept like twice.
No, he does. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
We're okay.
Oh, trust G's it.
I'm going to go with Tira.
I'm going to go with Tira.
Actually, I don't know because when VP win, they don't concede.
So that's going to be tough to score.
I think it could be just.
I think it could be an SSG player because I've built it and
wrestled a gentleman.
An SSG can run up the score.
I'm going to change my vote, DS.
DS, I like DS.
players to keep an eye on here as we get towards our tournament.
The players getting ready in the back.
We'll be getting into that event here in just a moment.
The prize pool, folks, the amount of money on the line
for these players at the World Championship,
so much cash here.
Everybody has secured, with a top eight finish,
at least $66,000 for their team.
And if they continue on with every win,
they are dramatically increasing that prize pool.
$300,000 up at the top there, folks.
And if you are hearing the sound of my voice,
you're like, man, I really wish there was a way for me
to watch the Rocket League World Championship
with other Rocket League fans,
but I can't be in full orth Texas.
Stand the QR code on your screen, find the AMC Theater,
see if there's one near you,
and you can go be in A building with Rocket League fans,
watch them on a big screen.
Fantastic way to watch the greatest tournament
and the greatest weekend in the Rocket League year.
Here is our schedule for today.
We will end things by crowning the first ever
inaugural RLCS 2v2 world champion but before that four matches of 3v3 action
and some van favorites gonna be on the field put an energy
Virtus Pro and you know, that's not the maybe favorites in North America
But around the world Carmen core is gonna be playing rock. Yeah, but those last two matches all those teams have two lives
They will play tomorrow no matter what we'll see them play
I'm that is the those are some of the best matches everything the game nothing to lose
Yeah, hopefully the best rocket we've seen I think it could be a great day
You know I said yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if all five North American teams are still in the tournament at the end of today
Today that's not the case. I will be surprised if we have five left
At the end of today, so it's huge day for NA very very close matches very hard to predict
But can't wait to watch we'll see folks. We'll see how they get into it. The players are ready to go folks
Let's kick off playoff Saturday
10 star, 10 presenting hero, led by the new 1v1 world champion now, the most important champion,
Jump from me!
I want to bust it out.
I want to bust it out.
It's a bit of an injustice that we just did a recap of Friday,
and we did not mention the 1v1 World Championship title,
passing from Nubu to Mass.
He takes to the stage after winning that title,
crowned a world champion, trying to continue
and see if he can get a double crown here in 2016.
It's ridiculous stuff from him.
I was not expecting that at all.
Not expecting him to force the tap out as well in game six.
Usually you can see those earlier forfeits
in earlier games in a series,
but to have it in the game to win
with only a 5-0 test in the whole process,
it's amazing stuff from that.
And all tournament long, we've been talking about team vibes.
I feel like a lot of teams have not felt good,
but not this team here.
As soon as he won, his entire team comes out.
support NAS, he's really one over the crack despite the fact that they're
going up against an NA team here you know you can't not love NAS he's bringing
the vibes he's saying no like double taps yesterday in once he's such a
showman we saw it in Boston as well I think between Boston and now he's really
gaining a lot of NA fans. We saw just how much they appreciate like the whole
rush the stage immediately as to who's NAS won. Fights on this team are
Immaculate, the general nature on the stage is time to welcome the North Americans
I
And despite their position in this lower part of the bracket, there is a good argument to
be made that this is the best performing team from North America right now.
They just got stuck with a horror group with Casey and Falcons, but still they are marching
on.
yesterday I was thinking this might be the top team in our name.
They've had really close losses against KC and Falcons.
So that group is aging extremely well.
It might be the group at the top three teams of the competition.
And through that group of death, Q,
they're the number four offense in this entire tournament
when they're playing against Falcons.
And KC, that's huge.
We saw them on the first-dose pre-show.
But Cowerman, CORE, Falcons, and SSG all organically
in the S tier before they went through this and went off the rails.
But still, it just speaks to the strength of this roster.
Born up against anybody else, it feels like they might be the favorites.
And not only that, with DS2, I feel like he got it unlocked on the O2Q yesterday.
He still set that only 0.5 goals per game, so if he continues to play really well,
Space Station, that offense is going to get even better.
It feels like there's resilience now to this team that was not there a year and a half ago.
Just crumbled on occasion, we saw it against Vitality all that time back.
Now when things don't go well for them, just go again.
And it's incredible what success they are finding because just of that little change.
I mean, with every loss that a team has on the stage, they gain a form of experience.
You can't gain any other way.
This SSG team has lost on land a lot and they are starting to look formidable.
Yeah. And then we see the head to head.
We see Aski's in that .5.
Well, still those 72 participation in goals because the mates, their offense has not been good.
They're sitting as the 15th best offense in this entire tournament.
So they are still trying to figure things out as they go through this lower bracket
We heard from snats he's saying scrims have not been going well for us
We're still trying to figure it out, but they still be topping. It's rare to hear that as well
There's so many times that we don't ever expose this because it's not fair to do so
But there's so many times where I've heard a coach in an interview or a part of team talking about it
Publicly saying oh, yeah, scrims are going well practice going well
And I can promise you that it's not always the case.
Usually if scripts are going terribly,
the last thing that you want to say publicly is, oh, yeah,
we're just getting absolutely bawdy to everybody,
unless you're maybe TSM and spank seven laugh about it.
But it's nasty coming out and saying scripts could be going
poorly would indicate that I think they probably
are in the lead live by that.
But it isn't as surprising here.
He's generally an incredibly honest person.
Yeah, he is.
And I think that that authenticity is part
of what makes this team so strong.
Yeah.
They're not trying to hide from each other.
They're not putting up a mask and not having the facade.
They're just being friends and it has bonded them together.
And you saw it with the way it was when
the championship yesterday.
And the amount of players that come up
from the general-made organization
to celebrate that with them, they're genuinely great friends.
And it shows on the pitch.
Yeah, it's also interesting that the bad scrims don't always
mean bad tournament.
We've seen so many times, including at this event,
I'm not going to expose any names,
but I know some teams who are getting 7-0ed in scrims.
They're just getting completely annihilated.
and they go up against the team on stage the next day
and they win or they play the plan and they win.
It's completely different when you get to the main event.
I mean, I would say in general in the history
of the RLCS World Championship,
anytime I've heard a team say,
oh, this team is annihilating the scrims.
I mentally make a check mark.
That team's not gonna win.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, but we talk about vibes, too.
Space Station, they also have the vibes.
Let's back and reveal our best friends off the pitch.
So these guys, non-climatic.
Let us know who you think's gonna win.
The progressive fan vote will make our picks.
First picks of playoff Saturday, Johnny.
I told you that yesterday all five NA teams making it to top eight doesn't come as a surprise to me today
I'm not picking all five NA teams to make it but I am picking this one
I think
For the third best team in the tournament so far
They just got the group of death and now they're building momentum in the lower bracket gentlemen's have not impressed me
That's SSG for Johnny
I think mates is the worst top 18 left honestly
And I do think space station is the best of these lower bracket teams so far through the storm
I'm going to give it to Space Station in four.
In four?
Oh, that's sweet.
Holy moly.
In four.
Yeah, I've not got Space Station in four.
I've actually not even got Space Station at all.
Really?
I've got general mates in this one.
Sure, the bosses have not been good to this point,
but they're right into momentum.
Boom, boom.
Oh, God.
You're a few.
What the hell?
General mates are going to win this, and they're going to do it.
What?
Carry you in four.
All right.
Let me show you how this is done.
I have SSG winning the match against the gentlemen.
Thank you.
It's very easy.
You did try to time out.
How many to go?
Gentlemen, SSG, all we really care about
is how do the fates, the fraternities all come back.
Oh, fuck off.
Oh, my goodness.
What does it mean?
What does it mean, folks?
How does the chat feel about it?
Lots of fans for both of these.
Only one of them is one of major this season.
And there we go.
No, that wasn't me.
There we are.
with SSG going to be the narrow favorites in champ.
What a day of rock.
Matthew is all about just who can get them
a mental early on because Nass is going
to be riding such a highway through how well he played
yesterday.
If he is unlocked at this point, we saw him Boston.
He can just take over a lobby on the other side.
Reveal for me has just been a whole different level
to what we've ever seen from him before.
I'm excited.
I feel like Spaceship to Athens has been explosive.
I haven't seen that out of me.
Nass, yes, has had moments, but no one else on that team.
So, got a favorite story station.
No one's question in the gentleman's peak.
I think their peak this season has been better
than anything we've ever seen from SSG,
but they're not peaking right now.
We'll see if they can do it.
Rockinly fans around the world,
get up and get loud.
It's game day. Let's kick off.
Playoff Saturday.
Saturday at the World Championship.
It kind of starts to feel real.
Sure, you survived the group stage.
You survived the first day of the bracket.
But from here on out, every single game
will test you like never before.
Just a few years ago, Oskie led the Youth Revolution.
And now he stands alongside the new 1v1 champion
against the future of our sport.
It's a battle as old as Rocket League itself.
NA versus EU to kick off playoff Saturday!
Kick-tease the ring out!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Goal!
The kids of the Americas, the Royal Horses against the team,
that typically had their number now riding them a team momentum,
a beating Manchester City and past being crowned the 1v1 World Champion.
Next, five trades. This game was brought to you all by Professor.
The A3 players on SSG bring different countries,
revealed in Canada, the AsterBenz in it,
and of course, Zach, the hometown here.
We're now very much here to represent the flag
we just saw right now, North America.
We'll see how they can do.
They are Europe's enemy right now, North America.
We've still got five teams here in the arena.
Other precedents in how well-known their appearance doesn't say far.
There is Bass.
There's that one to the side.
Gentle Mace. I mean, made in the weakest team so far.
They're not playing well.
They're so efficient. They're so messy.
They're so awkward.
But they have got any of this offense.
Which is so unlike them.
Typically, a lot more clinical, but they are not finishing their chance.
Which they do have many.
And it's definitely plaguing them.
Whereas SFG, my goodness, their offense has looked night-perfect.
and it comes so much at the helm that what recently have revealed.
And Old America just keep on winning in space station gaming
and our current princess, Hossie, Hossie thought he'd scored
an incredible point from SSG.
You know what, I don't blame him.
I've not scored as well in that long shot.
It's going to be going just wider than that.
Now, he's defending a lot of them yesterday
and they're the same from him.
And it was remarkable how well Nass did to shut down Nubu
and made him forfeit with a minute and a half remaining.
Yeah, I can't imagine he'll be able to be
the same against SSG, thank you the visitor is no fault at all.
Not either either, but you know, as Phil was mentioning,
VS goes to the ceiling, Oscar is there,
VS is there in the middle, he's so much pace has VS.
What do you say, Mades?
Because they've got a lot to get used to bringing him in,
and now he certainly has.
He is part of the spree from SSG attack.
They really are so wrong.
When you said that, all three of the registers
had shot on target.
Their offense, like I said, had been remarkable.
They're up there in the goal of the game,
shot of the game and shoot the percentage.
They reside in the top three to six, but on defense, they clearly have hold.
So, Lala Joczko poach with Liga.
Oskir has that 72% goal participation, gets himself another.
It was a poor touch from my hometown hero, Zang.
And Oskir has pretty insane against him earlier on,
but nobody was going to pop that one.
Oskir's mistake would be faked.
He said it looked pretty easy there, the gentlemakes.
And it started well, to be honest.
To be honest, you know, if you were hearing on the desk, but...
Oskir was saying they're not playing their best really at the moment behind the scene.
But this is looking more like the version of themselves was already won in North America this year.
The Boston Major managed to take it down and I'm sure you're all sick of us saying it.
But it was the greatest offensive performance you've ever seen in the 33 Grand Final.
That's the cut.
And that led there.
You know, Oskie was the player that was during the Crusades, during the playoffs,
the main player for just the mates.
It's looking a little bit different this time.
It really has not been Oskie or Archie coming online, nearly as much as one would have.
Then was Archie getting that one across, he's still been doing his job, getting his Bubs and Gemos.
To allow his Anacolp Maestro is on either side into the play. Here is Diaz.
Archie and Quadramonchie spanked out, Oskie is on the backboard there.
He's not defending there in the end from the gentlemen, it looks scary.
Not saying they had it covered. Archie nearly had his teammate behind him.
Just nice bubbles from Neal's forwards.
Yes, that's off. He's 50 and gets the 100.
That's moving so much, while he is playing with pure confidence right now, the Moroccan.
I have blamed him. He has been the most comfortable player to this game.
But many of these are overextending a little bit.
In space, they get their first goal.
I'll keep the most interest. So, actually, it's not going nowhere.
They caused Archie to action.
And he didn't want to. He was too close towards that near post.
Just picked up the corner boost.
There's a misposition from Shep's away.
So, the poor challenge, that gives SSG an opening.
This is getting working out for a little while. Finally, they're able to spring their trap.
They hit the chance almost right on the other side now.
It's a duck and he does it from the left. He's in. Try to sneak it to the corner.
Oskie makes it up nearly.
And that second efficiency coming up against it had a chance of not shooting it to get their second goal.
But they were unable to and they needed to tell the other guy to go any further in our tournament.
Now, as he's job is to score chances like that one. The pass is short.
Just to get opportunities like this. Show that creativity.
He has to go and sit forward, he'll reveal me with this one, all that's going to done on Jett's own makeshift.
I would say something that makes him have plenty more of the ball in this opening game as NASCAR's sport, we can't quite get his victory set.
Yeah, I can really agree. I think right now it has been a lot more pressure at least, a lot more, you know, by the ITEMs.
If you want more confidence, ultimately they are drawing up a level with 80 seconds to go.
It's counter-attacking SSG, SSG rather being a little bit more efficient.
That's going to be the main turn that we're going to be using.
Demo from Nass, now in the back corner of Oskie he's low so he gives D-Aff Nass a new in and all of the gentlemen are looking pretty low except for Archie.
Nass has done a lot better than Seraphus.
It was a shame that his way across the back corner, but this is so much space for D-Aff, goes to the double leader in the end for a feel.
The final clutch is never there, space is getting run out, that might change here Oskie.
He's going to say slaps it away.
He should be able to do something in this one.
As far as D-Aff, but Archie was waiting in the centre, Graff being taken out by Oskie, can Archie with this race.
What am I going instead?
Just a snack to his thing.
And it's nice pushing all the way to the end.
It's a bit somewhat dangerous way.
The 30 seconds left of game number one.
And the gentleman takes this one.
A little really under pressure for SSG Archie.
I'm coming for that one.
Sent to the side by Diaz.
That's to the center. It's not by himself, but Diaz.
Gets him out for his teammate to the dance.
But here comes that. It's got a ball through him.
And Archie's there.
Double layer deep in.
So it's nice to hold strong for now.
They do break through the first layer of glass, but a long pass around.
He was looked at.
That's a recent one.
Quite enough booster.
15 in the offensive plate.
Great move.
Brutal, however, RG on the left has the State Base.
And Chase from Askew makes contact.
Makes it all for the Central.
But the ground is found and overtime has been located.
And like the last time these two played, it was brilliant for gentlemen.
Very different team dynamics now.
A very different version of the Space Station game.
But Archie has a shooting chance, which is just wide.
And they did catch SSG completely up guard there, especially a double top there.
And Archie only needed a shot, I think was absolutely the play.
Because Archie in his own corner revealed.
Archie's gonna hit the middle, there's a pop, post DS, so Archie get a decent clearance hit.
Archie with no boost, gonna get half a nudge on the sack.
Melody touched there from Archie, there's something that does go for the whole time.
He used to be there!
I'm getting this!
Prencher to make the life of the world!
Mr. Pragmatic goes to the ceiling, nothing too fancy.
The touch does just about, come on DS, but I don't think it gives it any more speed.
Gentle mates, game number one.
Let me be very happy to start off the series well, and this is a team that is so...
There's always love for each other on and off the pitch. It's beautiful to see.
I agree. I think I'm criticised on the desk.
A lot of the European teams at the moment, they don't seem to have that line.
You know, if I lie to Superstars, maybe a shuffle is about to be upon us,
but we're playing this world together.
You know, you have to convince them that you're doing this event.
with your teammates.
The tips on they said, doing that one right now,
they've not been playing their best, but, again,
I'm projecting somewhat.
I can only base it on what I see and what I see on the pitch,
but I get the impression that they've not fallen out
of love with each other despite that.
And SSG as well, they've clearly, they've got a lot of love
for each other too.
They're coming in matching outfits and not just their kits,
because that's normal, but they've got their hats on as well.
I love the SSG cowboy hats.
They've got a lot of synergy there.
And on and off the pitch, Tom, they look unbelievable.
As we said, reveal, particularly yesterday against Chris
I've been so impressed with
him after retiring at like 15
or whatever. And they're coming
back eight months later and then
become one of the best players in
North America. I think he always
have that potential way back in
his scribbles bays. Now
rebranded Zach is certainly
looking up to that one, but he
finds his team one game behind
from a close opening game and a
game that I think a lot more
two gentlemen mates and it did
So I have that self-belief that, you know, even if they go two or three games down,
they'll still think we could win this one, especially in front of this wonderful home crowd.
The gentlemates are a little bit more delicate, they're a little more brittle at the moment,
and they're having to find their way forwards in this tournament on the pitch.
And that is exactly the start that gentlemates want, and that's just continuing at the winning streak.
Like I said, the way that the boys ended up going and celebrating with him,
the game. I'm sure they're
thinking. Thank goodness you've
won that otherwise give me an
rotten new today. Drough. New
board one monkey. Okay would
have swung the stage. It said
well done. I'm not quite so
sure if I speak. I'm in
big. Yeah, for gentlemen is
they just so happy to see
naswins. I think I think
everyone is happy to see
Well, they won't shut the crowd, they won the air, but I mean, I mean, in this movie 3, you know, it's like you can begrudge gentlemen's winning something, but Nass, you're like, oh, get on, you can't hit him, exactly, it's literally impossible, we've all tried, you can't do it.
And when his guys turn the lagging ways, and he's being a cheeky little scamp, everybody is going to be excited to see just what he can do, but SSG, they really have signed off this series well as well, and he's separated by that one goal, and I think ultimately they're another better team when it comes to this tournament so far.
Well they had half a scare against them in the opening of game number two.
I believe that wasn't a tactical timeout they had just taken.
They just had an extra set of bigger things up.
The teams were in the same boat.
So a few more seconds and they would have anticipated the base station game
and it would work well for them.
But back on the pitch now and SSG starting it okay.
They had, let's say that opening half-bubble.
Since then, though, I controlled them all.
They managed to get into the gentle mate's heart.
mate's heart, Oskie, comes to the ceiling, gets to end to end, the gentleman's been clearing
the ball very well, they've been connecting with it well, and Archie, he's always the
player that's sort of the swing player for the gentleman. So if Archie is doing his
job well then it gives so much space to Oskie and Mass.
Yeah, absolutely. They need that freedom to be able to attack and to be able to
be the first and second man, so then Archie, the third man, can clear off. And so
specifically here's your gold scoring numbers are so good we'll kind of talk about him being the non mechanical player on the team
Oh no! So the post is dead by SSG and this offense from SSG really is continuing for a decent amount of time
but there is one of those good clears from the mates
Yeah so I absolutely slammed that one against the post
It didn't quite turn his car enough but it was a good chance here for SSG
Get that lead, dears, that's the one on the corner now
Let's give them touches in the air. It's pretty passive right now.
He gets it towards Oskie. He hasn't got all the boost in the wall.
Go and pop it onto the S3 backboard and ask the question of Zach,
who easily has the answer. More than that. Get set on target.
Alright, she was waiting for it and respecting it.
That third man resilience for the young Englishman.
Back to the backboard. That's been pretty dangerous to me.
There's the backboard. Slaps in it!
From the blind spot as well.
You see him on the first chance. Oskie clears it lazily.
I only find it to be some really nice idea from Zach to stay and learn and to continue being a nuisance.
And SFG, that's pure elite.
There's been a lot of talk and reveal so far this summer, but it's a fact that's really caught my eye, showing an increased maturity, finding his way in the world of brookly e-sports.
Plays like that one is why such an exciting player to watch is Diaz.
Again, Solskie, yes. Try to double their lead early doors.
Half of the deal for them.
Do for the crowd, reveal the shoots.
I don't think it's going extra far on the crossbar.
He has to keep it going.
And then level 2's gentlemen.
He has to defend with absolutely nothing.
And a high shot on that is going to prove to be a problem
until last clear of a way to double tap.
It's even further.
Lovely.
It's set.
I thought it was nice.
It's a completely flimsy.
It's a final defensive.
It's Edie's line play from SSG.
That's what they'll tell you.
Of course, they're sure that's the case.
Because he doesn't believe that he had that opportunity.
Archie, it's his teammate to come in, it's not going to happen.
So he gets on with 27 moves, leaves it late.
Archie does take over, he's letting up on the Nats, if I can better.
Let's see if he can run a little bit away.
The idea for the Bump, but if he doesn't plan this,
you're going to look a little bit silly.
He has cast his shoes low, who's Nats?
And yet, it's coming in, almost in the car.
An incredibly bold position for me.
One of that cameo because earlier on Archie went to the forward, 25-2 or so is it insane.
I think he could have left it for Nass, it was bouncing too.
As Archie does that and then gets dumped, Nass is left absolutely nowhere.
That's to get a horrid above the goal, and then she gets up to the finish line.
That's what that's going from us. She's on a slice here, but finding Oskie.
And then he loses to Lacy, which is how I would describe it,
just to make some long of their previous games.
He's not going to fly here, and Nass knows just fly into that
and lands with a gorgeous touch.
Sheldon to Oskie, gets the defense in half.
Yeah, no, I'm done, a star. Sheldon is a concern.
And consider that second goal, it was a real swing goal.
They come right back, they get another one,
and that's a smart finish there from Oskie,
getting on the half-volley to loop it over the defender.
Space station gaming, no time to relax just yet.
And the Emilias teams have got a relaxing sparrow tree on their minds.
They both are looking to make sure there's high-octane game.
Get shut down as soon as possible, now to the pitch towards right-hand wall.
The side of Zack.
Touching arch, he just... the ceiling.
He's all too present, he's in the fifth.
But again, another loose touch, and it brings us as deep back into the box.
Here is Zack, though, the dates are back so far.
This game gets the reset.
Officer, make the shot, it's eventually takes it.
He has no idea you get something on that one,
but something else is all the way up against him.
The end of the half, he's just like an eight.
On 17-levels, he gets the most push.
Now he's got us across the couple of lines!
And that is a lot that we saw it come by to.
Nath is greater than the sum of his team run down.
Using that 1v1 prowess to defeat two space station gaming players and
bring them crashing back down to us.
I kinda wanna turn around.
Jett's mates, not just in this game but so far in this tournament.
The forgotten EET there beats so far, and now they're on the only two remaining.
The first time that has ever happened.
Well, that's a little bit of pride in Gentlemates.
Zack sends it long.
SSG have the stack sold to him right now.
The good Gentlemates are gonna be all on the big deck.
Hopsaws away from making that contact.
They're sitting into the net.
But Zack wasn't in the right position.
For this rocket pass, a little bit too fast.
Archie, another loose touch is going to be really hard for the defense.
And again, they find themselves on the low boost, and they keep this corner away from the field.
It's like playing as first man, I know it's causing so much danger right now,
so Jekyll makes the match, spooking it away here as Nasi's the genius, what's that?
That late dodge.
G.S. has to start to say no.
0-50 from SFG.
Keeps it really off the reveal, but it's...
CHEERING
It's the best station I've ever been in.
There it is, they said!
It's up!
Reveal for the world!
The best up was that!
Finish the entire game, actually!
Send it down to him!
SSG!
Seconds away from their first game in this series.
The parent of time he fought in the show.
Good fake.
From the chip to mate.
Actually, you can come out of the orca this time.
Pretty very orca.
I don't even think you'll ever go for it.
And that's honest, huh?
Just a reset still remains.
What a point for me. I'm on the next.
Nothing like it for me as to the score.
And that's us two at the end.
Let's all win the victory from the jaws of the draw.
And I think that game we're in there is an example of the maturity in the space station game
of engaging throughout this season.
I don't think that's a game that they win at the start of this season.
I don't think it's one that, and if it was top 16 in Boston,
they would have turned that sort of,
It's dangerous, you're two or one, suddenly it's two-two, it's so tiltable, it's a different position.
And they are a very emotional team, they're a much younger team, you're going for it.
I don't blame them for it, but they've certainly grown into this tournament.
They've done a lot more perspective, I feel, as they come through World Championship.
And they see so many people in the audience wearing space station gaming jerseys,
waving space station gaming flags, wearing their hats, having signs, giving them autographs.
It gives you a lot of perspective and I certainly learned that.
I think Zack as well right now is...
Oh, there's the hat. It's like an engine.
Every nice hat.
Love your hat.
It's absolutely relishing his first man role.
Gentlemates have to be able to deal with Zack because...
Look at how he comes forward, he's bumping them, he's demoing them, he's getting awkward touches.
You know, his opening goal in that game was a touch from the opposite backboard, dodging him, and then dodging forwards.
It's a unique play that Zack's got.
I don't think Gentlemates have quite got the read on him just yet.
As the series goes on, that could be key difference between these two teams.
For me, right now, this is that close to us.
As we head over to Futura Gardens,
one old in the series so far.
As you say, both of these teams are going to be looking towards that quarter-finals.
They've got some huge teams, and they could be coming up against them.
And this is the first pass that they both can need to succeed.
20 of North American teams, just never an easy run of the World Championships.
Moski, sitting in the corner, wants to get a little bit more on that than he could,
actually, coming in there, coming onto the scene, he wants a heavy touch again,
getting to be a little bit loose, that was too quiet for them coming into this match
or something, that's going to get into happen, I've got this slowing down.
Yeah, loose and inefficient, that's been the way the gentlemen,
The gentlemen's ultimately still a mate of eight.
They're still made it to the air here, spot.
And I'm not sure the seed and the gentlemen's
have got the power they can be.
Any international team.
And that floor is higher than most teams' ceilings.
They're right now playing from the floor.
She's giving us forwards.
The adds just get someone into the air.
Absolutely the first to win at least.
With the daze map, he goes to make some fault.
Once a shield, that one has to go back to the SSG there.
And aren't you just going in?
Gonna get this reader edge.
Yes, he can. It's a little bit higher though.
There we go, one target, certainly enough to make reveal.
A little bit of a spooked tower.
Mid there, yeah, it's off the MSG, so...
Now, there was a little bit of a mess of a mess of a thing.
What, 300 boosts for gentlemates for a moment,
and about 100 in total for SSG?
They've not really been able to make a leak of use of it, however.
It's their defense, now it's called into action.
What's off off he is there, shot wide by Diaz.
I think aiming just to make sure that he keeps the shot off the ball,
Another bomb through the desert, but nobody dare press S.T.R.A. on you lads!
Yeah, it was B.S. he didn't quite believe it, he didn't quite commit, you had to take some risks and get the S.J.E.T.s all mates.
You don't get anything easy against them.
Reveal Pugsick forwards, all S.S.T.T.s shaken by that man, talking about their increased maturity and ability not to tilt out, but that should have been a goal.
Hey, I still back him to tilt out.
I don't think they're completely, uh, impervious to it.
With a shot just wide and that one even more so.
And SSG then can really start to form this offense.
He waits central to see where this ball lands.
It's a team pitch.
Clear the way by Reveal.
Clear Humveal on the side wall.
Again, we talk about his offense for Reveal's defense.
He's kept SSG in this game so far.
Yeah, Reveal's got his watch from the team.
This is so all-the-peasy as he has to get on the streets there.
And look at him.
Coach's are up.
Subcomposure out of nowhere.
Serving up a portion of that gate.
and Gemsirmates, they really did not want to be aging them.
But from a Nasty Ward final defender,
they've given a lot more of a stalemate, but huge amount of offense.
It's got the inflavor of the Gemsirmates, but again, they cannot convert.
Yeah, I think from what we saw from CS earlier, explains why
he's getting a stalemate offensive really as an attack.
He's not having that third fan there again.
It might have been a striker flashing across the goal,
it could have turned into something instead.
Shot a little bit wide, it's easily saved by R.S.K.
Get this boost as well.
Good read.
We're waiting on a super star. We're waiting on a moment.
Archie is waiting in his goal where he goes down the middle of this side.
Edge wants to get the bump on reveal,
but he would bump the way before he even had the chance of something.
We'll skip around the wall. Has to do something...
a little bit more genius than that.
He basically...
Archie waits, but...
to bring him in he gets the ball control.
If I go towards SSG, I get jumped from Austin.
A demo from reveal on to Archie will be shutting down mate.
Not too long, though.
That gives Golden traction on the goal line.
And there's tension in the air right now in game number three.
I feel like all these players are scared to make a mistake.
And there is a mistake. It was Nass.
And then there's the ball.
And it went on like this.
And he might be cheating.
And it was a big error. Nass flies past.
He needs to rotate up to stay solid in the net, maybe.
Mostly had the boost. He can go for it.
and incredibly well played. The 1v1 ends up playing against the Gentlemates on that occasion.
The Nats of the Battle are chance for Archie saved away by Diaz.
Everybody's seen Gentlemates come back to ability and they do it again.
It was two goals they needed at this point in the second game.
And SSG, the waves par.
It's time though, they're starting to warm up into this series, starting to warm up into this arena.
Oskie, it's in the middle, it's going to be as far as Archie who gets the boost steal as well.
Great play from Archie and he's got the chanel, he's a font as well.
Ah, he's trying to force it home. That's good and go.
And that makes it so you may be making counter.
He sends it, SSG score again, Mates can't come back.
They have to make that happen, that's easier said than done.
But indeed, you can't just say that to the corner.
Chance for a pitch, a lovely pitch and reveal will be there.
In fact, that's beaten to it.
There's still no person waiting,
lurking a little bit higher up the field for Mates to send the ball towards.
Oskine's, uh, non-stack here is done. Leo's already up. Great defensive position there from SSG.
Good game management. Eki, a difficult for Mesa to come forward. Look at Mastro's floating towards the ball and SSG aren't going to rush anything.
They're going to take their time. Of course it's the sense of though. A little bit loose.
Oskine won a chance for this skim, but can't quite make it himself.
And now having to track back, Nass for his own backboard has to do with an attempt to go and getting harassed.
It's nice to get it forward and up, back and slaps, base station looking pretty comfortable, revealed as a hunk of boost in his own corner, Ozzie's trying to force something, Nazzie's trying to force something like this.
Can't force anything, and SSG take another B2 on Lee.
One of those plays I think I'm so unappreciated is how well revealed dealt with the last 5 seconds there.
He taps him back into his own corner, takes the boost, fakes to go high, so fakes in the tetra base contender, or the attacking player rather, and then gets two low 50s.
Really, really exceptional play.
The Space Station Gaming Colt, they now lead in the series.
And NASC only looking in at 90 points.
And Icarus Malasag-NASC didn't hit triple figures in the RLCS 33 game.
I'm sure it's been a while and that has crudited the fending of Space Station Gaming.
They completely suppressed the Gentlemates attack.
Gentlemates who you were saying statistically, you know, that they're low down the rock.
Here at this world championship, then scoring enough goals, creativity just isn't there,
and maybe that's what they will be saying in this time out as Nasky says to his team.
Look, that's a bunch of different angles of approach here.
You have to be taking some risks.
They were given a 3D really when earlier on Diaz didn't go for that play.
They were given a free chance, and they didn't make the most of it.
The Nassas are playing so far ahead of the ball,
60% of his time was spent in front.
him from. He prepared that to the other players, Archie and Oskie at 30%. Twice as often, he
was trying to make something happen up ahead. Wasn't quite able to have the balls sent to
him. Maybe they just need to play a little bit more conservatively and then wait for
an error on SSG's part. They will happen. They will fall.
We'll have to wait and see. 50 seconds left. That's for space station gaming. Coach
He's been in the situation so many times as a coach, of course.
He was the coach when Oscearo is the prominence of Team Liquid.
He's used to turning young superstars into potential champions.
He's used to growing and harnessing the skill of these young talented players that emerge in our esports.
That's why he's been the perfect fit for space station gaming.
They don't know exactly what to say, how to balance their confidence, their nerves,
their desperation to win an international tournament after finishing second recently in the Esports World Cup.
People know exactly the ingredients to the end of the pot.
They do the best they can.
We talk about how much Archie normally frees up his two teammates here to do their thing.
But with Nass being back so infrequently, Oskie is the opposite.
He spent more time in defence in that game than any other player.
He needs to be unleashed. He has to either trust that Archie's gonna be there, or Archester made the call to send that dog wild.
Gentlemen, they fall behind as space station gaming prepared for lift-off.
Yeah, that's the series that very clearly could get away from gentlemen, if they are not careful and if they are not brave.
SSG do not like bravery. Here's that. Get the line now!
SSG, put it as you like!
And off the brick, what a start to shut down Gems who makes his time out.
The kick-off goes so incredibly in their favor.
And with SSG, with the home crowd behind them,
Colby starts to build that momentum that Gems who makes that coming into today.
Yeah, right now it feels like this series is only going one way,
and that SSG building up that head of Steve,
and then playing some explosive broccoli.
It might be two here, Diaz gets it to the side,
and this is turning into a party.
A pass to the applied path, however you want to call it.
Jettermase would not have called this game, but restarted to be honest.
Two goals, 20 seconds, and it is starting to run away so early on.
We've seen us do this before against Twisted Minds,
but they ended up winning at what, seven mil?
Yeah. In the air, they will not let off the pedal.
And they can sense blood in the air,
and that's exactly what they can smell.
His DS wants to get them back!
He doesn't in the air for a feel.
It's too high.
Just about to keep a glimmer of hope, but Archie's not connecting. Nothing's happening for Mates right now.
That's so ugly. That's such a good chance for a counter-attack.
The loose, lucky ball from Oskie with no incisiveness.
And Archie completely misses. Terrible counter.
As...
Does he have any magic in his boots?
Can he get them running? Oskie takes a touch of the corner as the demo comes in from reveal on Nass.
He woke up the 100 boost.
She sends it to bounce.
Archie can't connect again, this is looking all the potential mates, they're missing everything
all over the place right now, an SSG of toy group.
Fast and drunk, Nass actually instead was trying to clear away Archie,
near weak pinch. I get them ranks all the time, it's not fun as you can see the other teams
collecting where handling. Well tied to blue scraps. Sack diving through the ball and
making it horrendously hard.
Anything to get going for Gentlemates is a double chance.
Plus for another goal for Reveal, runs out of pot.
Yeah, as if he should be three to the good right now.
Gentlemates have to make the most of this chance.
They're still in this game somehow.
Because Space Station are entirely out of way.
The boss, he sets it on the right, but it's so easy for Diaz.
And it's not the bleeding for now.
Reveal wants to reopen that wound.
Diaz, the dagger.
They're tempting to push into the side of Nates yet again.
And the bandages hold forward.
Gems to Nates, they stay stable at the moment.
Just about as Plot Park is beginning to run cold.
Nates have stabilised themselves in it.
Now they have to give themselves a go.
They have come back from two goals behind so far in this series.
They have come already in the previous game, but they're...
I don't believe that's when they ended up winning.
That wasn't a good game, though, that they lost.
Go to the side there, aren't she?
I think it's up his boots, you know what I mean? This is that one right for him.
The team that will get it now shoots it just over.
Archie has to read this, but Reveal doesn't let it!
Reveal has the pace and Archie has no moves.
All he can do is let gravity work,
and Reveal is more powerful than gravity itself.
But more 50 from Nass again.
Has he got the next touch to it?
Archie and Nass move commit to it,
and you see him now he's going to rotate that with very little boost.
It's just a bit frosty to reset round, but you see Reveal, he just baits it in.
He's waiting for it! On the crossbar!
The pixels are not their pulse today!
Lovely first touch there from Diaz-Mas gets it open at the top of his own goal!
Oski pitches it to the side, but not too much more than that.
That's all good though, from Zach.
If I leave it into the centre of the chart,
if I ask him, can he shoot or be wait for the second?
And I think by letting the angle was too easy to defend!
Thanks, Ardyn, he played.
Victory half a car, legs are too far in front of the ball.
Zorka, Bar, Ardyn, also they hopped at 50p fence.
Instead, a quick turn around with 100 seconds left.
SSG and look so poised to move on to the last quarter final.
Yeah, they look incredibly comfortable.
Gents and Mace have had maybe a quarter chance or two.
SSG should be three up already.
That steals that one in the air.
Can you tell us if we're resetting?
Get it, pass that.
No, he can't.
So, aren't she?
His jump is awful.
His momentum, non-existent.
Pretty much speaks for Gents and Mace.
The hole right now.
Gents and Mace, the team right now, reveal.
He goes above his own goal, but it's so easy for him to set it to the side,
to keep SSG two goals to the good.
Is anyone coming in with gentlemen?
It's not going to matter, because they've got their backboard on last, I think.
I think if he spoke about their inefficiency and right now both teams have got the exact same number of shots,
the SSG, they've got two goals to show for it.
That's going to get under one minute remaining.
That's what they've always, they have to reassemble.
Yeah, I don't think your little stats box shows the quality of shooting either.
Space Station have definitely had that in abundance for this maybe the moment, but that's the second!
What a save! What a blow!
He was the one who kept his awareness!
And keeps it at 2-0, and again there is Diaz!
SSG don't like to do this all day!
That's the quality that you're talking about in offense.
It's translating the defense as well.
All-rounder, all-american team.
Final 20, Oski wants to bump Wani.
Nearly does, but if he landed it, that was a goal from Archie Slippery.
Massive to the center. This is gonna be an artisanal SSG will take a three-one lead in this series
And to be honest you can have said that after 30 seconds there has been no offense
My central mates could have taken that game three games in a row
The young team from the Americas
And in the end, the central mates they out-shoot
What SSG could put towards them. The issue is in their seven shots
Six of them were saved, so one ended up being just that bit too wide, but it's still registered.
Out quality, out performing, out speeding, out everything in our space station over Gentlemase.
Gentlemase, continue like this, we'll be out.
We'll be Europe's fifth team to chase Senator Head Back home.
leaving only one left, all in four, so we have two European teams make runs against multiple
Americans, we've got season seven team vitality, but as of now, Gentlemates are still in it
and as I said before the last time these two teams faced, Gentlemates won 3-0, they
won three games in a row, it has happened and it can happen, we have to see so much
more from mates and I think as a team, space station gaming is stronger, we
fans have to rely on Sono brilliance I feel I feel like we need something from
massive that's that's the only way to say the issue is now is getting all the
boost that he needs he's getting a little positioning that he needs he's just
not connecting or he's being shut down before it can translate into a goal he
picked up in that game 1000 more boost than Zach 10 more big boost pounds
that's 30% more and they had nothing to show for SSG are efficient they are
decisive and they are one game away from going through to the quarter finals.
Yes, so close to this top six, the Diaz reveal and Zag.
The hardest game to win is the final one.
Kass doesn't get that boost, flicks of zero.
This is it for Archie!
And Gents will make sure a little side of life.
Hopper Pulse.
I mean, you're taking Hopper Pulse,
you're taking one full goal,
it's a rocket of a flick from Nasset.
The ball does do a little go-strike.
SSG will feel wrong that they couldn't get anything on it.
Oh gee, he won't have to make a way with the Bag of Swap.
What she thinks I can do as well? Can he make it too nearly?
Diaz had moves, gets it to reveal.
Mamean isn't responsive from space station gaming.
Diaz gets it down to reveal.
There must be one more to go!
Das gets the save, and Mamean makes a turning.
Mamean gets your mate. They've got great opportunities.
Dead, it comes down through. Can they finish it?
This good bug is going to be slowing down.
That mate opens.
One word round from Diaz.
How does this clear go for Nass?
Oh, what a hit!
And help he will get!
There it's Oskie!
Not the player I turned to forgetting that was with Gentlemates, but that one was so effective!
And Gentlemates for now, have silenced the Space Station rocket,
brought it right back down to Earth, not quite with a bump, but it's certainly trending down.
It's currently landing with those fancy legs.
Damn, that's a good one.
Very nice landing, a reusable rocket of itself.
And right now we are seeing a lot of loads of coming through from SSG,
something that is completely different to previous games in the series so far.
Zack, that's the way for this one, the real gets into it, lovely pass to Zack.
Vinny Kondra is in the corner here, aren't she wins that 50-50?
Something Space Station gave him, winning every single time that it falls to Diaz.
It's actually what it's not really what Space Station gave him, Diaz tries to fake himself down.
Zack's caught in all sorts of chaos there, and it's shot him, fire a field,
And Space Station get it and keep on doing that thing.
Tapos trading from Diaz as well.
Gets that touch and then that.
Has got no intention of playing the ball.
And there you think we'll go anywhere near that spherical freak.
I'm just going to go straight for the man in the net.
Clear it away.
And it gives Proveer of the chance to just tap it
with what is still leading to be a fantastic shot.
Yeah, it's going to be a fantastic shot.
There were two goalkeepers, the gentleman,
and some reveals.
President through that needle reveal.
It's not going for Archie.
Gets it under the e-bombs.
He's in a race grip for reveal. Reveal has come to life now, the last 20 seconds or so.
Is Diaz coming in? Not this time, sorry, it was that.
He gets it across.
Gentlemates can move it away.
And I think Gentlemates with mine 30 seconds are not too much happening now
because it's a lot of erratic as far as they're concerned with this 2-1 lead.
The speed is still on the FST side, however, but Archie is on Gentlemates's.
The 2v2 very briefly, that one was going to be later today,
but it's a little bit early in this series.
The right hand ball with Diaz, he collects.
Archie sees one central, but they didn't think that's pretty wide to come into it with him.
Chance for a solo play with the Wartudis ceiling.
No jump possible. Refill, another clear.
Yeah, fantastic fight. What a fence there from Refill.
Not just to get it, not just to read it.
Also to catch it and edge of a little way, and there's a bigger boom out.
And also through space station getting players, a surge is forward.
You can see Diaz using his ball cap, trying to see where his provosts were.
That's something like this one, Archie trying to get the heels upside.
Can't get his axe too quick. Too precise.
It's all the way around the corner. T.S. goes for the bump, but Nass escapes it.
Nass gonna get big escape with her own half of the Oskie chance to pitch his central Nass in there, low 50.
And lead has held on so far for the mate. SSG too look likely to score.
Yeah, I'll be sitting pretty quite frankly if I'll be gentle mates found right now at home.
I'd say which way this next goal would go would certainly be for SSG.
They just look a bit more likely, but...
Info makes more care if this one finishes, 2-1.
Archie to the side, Deans watching him all the way,
great tracking from the Brazilian.
That's going to turn the ceiling, can he get his touch?
He can't watch the thumb, doesn't get it.
Jamarro as much as he wants, he has to get.
Oscar's been the hit-clap now,
but if you're licking this touch from the ceiling,
he really has played a little bit wonky
so far in this series of stunning 50-probs.
Clear the way, it's going to be the more than the two.
The three is Archie, central, but bumping his own player.
Archie now fakes it low, but another clear.
He'll fight this extended period of attack.
He has a great victory there from Diaz.
He knew that Archie was going to delay it,
so Diaz just double-chucked his great play from him.
And now he has Zach, but he's popped out of the way,
swiped out of the way by Archie.
Gensokyo's holding far.
Both sides finding haymakers on each other.
Oskie!
He takes the lead!
Look, Alex!
I said they were the Prince of Henne!
But Nasky was his royal highness, he got fucked, it just set him up once!
And Gentlymase began to soar!
With his final 80 seconds, Gentlymase in a position that not really felt
since that first game, it's gonna be nearly a moment, Nask!
How is that not a target, man?
Yes, they said she'd never be relieved that Nasky is that one.
That was the real momentum swinger, it might still be.
Nasky wakes up, makes her another chance here, aren't she?
Descending forward, SSG can't break out their own heart.
They're going to have to at least half this deficit, my goodness.
Great demo, it's coming through, Nass printed with a double demo.
Two goals in 50 seconds, if there's one team that can do it,
it's going to be space station gaming and the defense is a great way to start.
They have to get rid of this ball first, that's the touch they needed,
but it's only as far as Nass captures it.
Takes away a few more precious seconds.
Up to the side, Oski's waiting, fakes it out for Archie.
Gentlemen, looking at themselves, superior right now.
Oskie moves it forwards.
Pick up a difference that one goal was made from Oskie.
I mean, it's going to be that conference booster.
And they've certainly put on them a low on it.
The 20 to tick.
That's along the right hand wall.
Just waits to see what the defense can do.
They don't send it too far with that single play.
It was submit more times than they missed on the ceiling.
Crop sack, Niaz has to track, has to wait.
And you called it a 10 seconds before Coles' pressure,
and she almost did the same for Gentleman next time.
We head to game number six.
And my goodness, Gentlemates.
That jet lag is falling away from them,
and they have woken up.
Isn't that amazing?
For one goal.
For one moment of improvisation can do.
Gentleman's had a 2-1 lead,
but we were both saying,
Look, SSG and more like it's got the next goal. Until up goes Oskie.
I think Reveal got a bump on him and he's thinking, okay, he's offended that one well.
But Oskie chats it all the way and he's had a little bit of luck into a little bit of quality.
And that third goal meant so much to the gentleman.
It's like the shackles fell from them there and then.
And overall in that game, they looked so much more confident.
the positioning was a lot more forwarding, a lot more even as well.
Shot flies, 14 shots, it just makes 6 for SFG.
And SFG, they were absolutely pinned back into their own half.
Ornison, saying relatively similar on their distance to the ball.
None of them being able to do exactly what they would like from him.
I think that is the real turnaround, the real change in how the steam is looking formed.
In that time, you know, I mentioned before that Oskie was sitting really far back and Archie was a lot more in that midfield.
It's now changed. Archie is now further back.
Oskie and Nass are now pushed a lot more forward together as that duo.
They are retaking their shape. The SSG have got one minute to talk.
Yeah, it's going to be all important as well.
We've come in the last game.
She got no demos, which surprises me.
You know, he's the one I see always buzzing around, playing in front of the bull there.
I think that's the shape that they like a lot more. They like to have the shape of
Mosque and Nass being those two forward players and Archie, he gets crimson with a lot of the
goals. Nass and Oskie do a lot of that work to remove players, to demo, to bump, to get
them out of the way and to outplay. And Archie can then be that tapping merchant that
but they'll be so happy to take the title off.
SSG, with stars surrounding them in the audience.
They glimpse and they glimmer.
And they are moments of hope.
One more game needed for the North Americans to head through.
How are you feeling right now,
showing that SSG line-up?
Because that was a game that would have tended, I believe,
just a bit, right? Just a little bit.
Because generally, it really showed an extra level there.
Yeah, but I think that's the thing is that they had to reach another level to beat SSG
Now it's giving up to SSG to match
To see the bright lights to hear the honking hoards of Neo Tokyo
But North American sphere gentle makes a well rain
Gentleman's there trying to belay kickoff and it does fall to Archie in the corner
Gentleman's can't allow another mistake
against them
That moves it forward. SSG can't be too much about this one.
When it comes to that, it's from Archie.
That's suddenly, man, it's scrambling back to get a touch.
I think Archie got more power than anybody expected there.
Perhaps even himself. And again, Archie's connected with everything right now.
Considering in game number four, when we were saying Archie's all over the place,
can't connect with the ball, that's definitely changed in that sense from the time I think so.
Well, we've done a cross there from Reveal.
Otherwise, I think that was just caught on the goal line very awkwardly.
It's there. It's from Archie.
And then he's straight towards the backboard, but a little bit of clearance, a little bit of time.
And look at how far SSG have pened back.
Yeah, it's more gentle-based pressure. SSG though have escaped for now, aren't she?
He gets another clean touch. He's booming everything.
Oskie gets a double touch there. Oh, she does get a hit.
I was wondering if he'd leave that one, but now it's behind him again.
He saw that. Punish them all they're on in this series.
I think it was in game two when they ended up losing 3-2.
He has to avoid being bumped now, Zack's looking for him, Zack can't quite get him.
And now Tiaz has it on the floor, where he's so dangerous. SSG has survived the early mate's pressure, and now it's their turn, something.
The amount of boost to their drop as well compares to the mate's. It may well continue for a while, a huge loft of clear.
And I feel has to be safe and send it back into his own half.
That will alleviate him off control, send it back towards the mate.
He waits and learns central.
That's us a fifth year towards him, but that's intelligent enough to see where they want that ball to go.
And he will sit in the way of it. Archie, opportunity for a solo play.
A reset.
Get him below the bar, but reveal us where he's living right now.
Yeah, so much back on the fence again there from SSG.
They've been ruining it about so far this series, but Archie has the ball again.
He's looking big. He gets another clean hit.
But the SSG goal is to get this 100 and has to use it, but Nass is bleeding it in the centre.
S.S.G can't escape right now. It's always going to that third man.
That third man is just booming it. They aren't taking it slowly.
They're making it a bit more tough.
Good button in the air.
S.S.G.
Again, just those small little differences
that have changed in the last couple of games.
They've now stolen the batboard.
I look at any touch towards the HGN,
says mate, I have not got anything here, pal.
You need to help me out.
Oh, what the hell is happening?
And there's this thing!
That is a lot of fun to give a gentlemate terror!
Yeah, this is Dave Clark, as you're unsure, the best of two and a half minutes,
and then steal the easy one when your opponent's eventually double commit.
And of course, I do not mean that at all.
This is not how, as if you want to take the lead, but they will take that if offered any day.
Gentlemates, lead first, make that first mistake,
and all that pressure comes crumbling down around them.
Now the shot right above the bar and that's missing, but he has to assume that he would have it.
Reveal, let's go!
Yeah!
Everly's kept up the best they've got there, to do that, the best they can take their lumps!
But now they're stepping up themselves!
Huge finish from Reveal from their tournament MVP!
Maybe a immediate shot from the kettle, played away by Reveal.
While Central known as it's there doesn't see anybody there for him.
Shake your head cold, not a fun album.
No, the shot just wasn't on, they were into your passes, they were low 50s you could take.
That's just a none of it there.
You need a couple of goals, you have to show some creativity, you have to be as brave as anything.
There's no use holding out for an O2 loss.
Oh, she wants to get the pitch, gets the pitch as well, here's speed of full hit, so far this game is getting incredible.
Everything he's hit is he flashed by a hundred miles per hour.
No.
That takes the slow group, but no one's smottling, and there was a demo.
So, not going to be okay, let's bear it up, they can't just face too much there then.
They're almost looking at Nassim Moran to go, that looks sick, oh my God.
Great pass fella, goodness to me, I'll give them that a bit.
Guys, chance to ground pitch, but they're really going to get taken towards the quarter.
Two more states from SSG, they are holding the car full states firm
for the reigning kings of North America.
Oski wants to get to the center.
He's gonna bolt it out for himself!
He did it!
Not for real!
Refusing to be beaten!
SSG can't be breached!
Theas has it on the left.
Wants to get the passes to Warnjag.
This can be the moment to get the likes of the Stalker Warnjag.
Let's get to the real Asagore as well.
He can't finish them off.
One more goal, we'll do it.
One more goal.
The one more minute and two to wrestle back for the Mates.
with Nas, what duty can you wrestle?
You're onto the wall right now, and 1v1!
What a save to Nas, he's just a little bit too far forward.
Yeah, 5 feet back, and Nas, he would have been in against it down.
Savage is thoughtful towards Nas.
Now, it's Oski's turn, he's desperate for it,
but the answer to letting him have it.
The biggest force in my goodness,
SSG, the shape that they have taken on this is remarkable.
Nas, Cili, 1-5, shot, blasted game.
A crowd free out of their support of SSB as DS punches it forwards.
All the gentlemates can do is clear.
And that's exactly what SSG wants.
And it's clear though, they are pouring straight into the gentlemates' hands.
Walk on the princes of North America.
Lay his hands on gentlemates.
The Boston Major winners have fallen, gentlemen,
to be your fifth European team to bow out at the 2026 World Championships.
And the crowd would bring out in favour of them.
It was hard-bought, it was well-bought, but it was not enough.
Space, station gaming, reach to stars, and the sons of the Americas, Leemaw.
We talk about maturity, we talk about the development of these three young players.
I think maybe not even one of the youngest on average teams in this entire tournament.
They do not play like it now, they have before, they have had their moments, but now, even
when things are against them, even when they're succeeding goals, even when they can't break
out their own half, they're finding a way to score, finding a way to battle on.
And finally, to the side of the lead, soak up even more adoration from this crowd.
SSG, North America's best right now, to me, going into this they work for me.
I mean they're one of North America's best.
They're one of five North American teams that have given the competition as Europe falls to just one calming court.
Kept on the only remaining European teams.
It's happened before though, we've seen the LMA, we've seen Viterra as the LMA to get towards the finals.
But it couldn't go down on the record reset, there's a G2.
And there is history in this arena.
There's never been an American that has won here.
And there's a fantastic player on the stage right now standing with Lee.
Reveal, power and vaping.
Well it seems like we might have some fans of space station gaming.
Reveal.
This must feel really fun for you. You got like the most chill vibe right now. You didn't even put your shoes on coming up here.
Yeah, I know.
You're just chilling right now. How are you now like elated right now? How do you keep it so calm?
I don't know it's just the aura he says that's true and you guys got it on the
stage here gentlemen it's on the other side formidable opponent that's not an
easy target to take down coming into the matchup where the concerns considering
that managers won the 1v1 world championship nope not at all we're
just confident or three-square stuff the quick answers coming I mean that's
true I mean you have to be confident on a stage like this where does that
come from because again when I see you guys you're just chill you're
Relax, you're not like, you know pumping things up all the time. So the confidence seems to sneak out of nowhere
Who where does that come from? Where's that seed of confidence? It comes it comes from on your review or expert
Yeah, it kind of types up as gay is doing a good job here
And how about the crowd though? I feel like confidence has to be coming from the crowd too. Yeah
Let's get the noise going for reveal in space station gaming
North America, the man's undefeated in the playoffs of the 2026 Rock League World Championship.
SSG send the gentlemates home.
Joe, it did get some hardware this weekend.
Nass, congratulations.
Yeah.
I mean, the 1v1 World Championship.
It's your 3v3 opportunities.
And I think the most impressive thing is if Space Station comes out of just four rows,
okay, Space Station is a better team.
But in both series they play throughout this bracket.
The other team fought back.
And space station goes to Neo Tokyo down on the back foot and finds a way to bring it back
He pulls out his matches. I think this is always been an issue with North America outside of maybe energy
You can't close out these matches with space station has now done it two days in a row
They love on time out there blues game bar
They said listen, I gotta go to game seven. I love that to me
He's gonna get that time out in the back pocket with them
And it keeps having so much nerves right so you don't want to go there exactly the new kids on the block
I mean, all three of them, I mean, all the PS from Sam's foot, but I bring them on over to North America right now, where I call them 100 North Americans.
I don't know what I'm making this. It has been a long time since a new team at this level, especially in NA, outside of NRG2 to perform in itself.
They're the major champions this year, darling.
Yeah, I think that this is the first team in North America at the moment, and they just drew the group to death.
group of death and that's the only reason they've had to make this run but I'm not surprised to see them
making a run into top six and I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a run into top four or even
the grand final. I think that when I look at the other side of the bracket or at least the way that
I think it's going to shape up, you've got Falcons are over there, if KC win against VP,
KZ is going to be over there so SSG actually in my opinion I've got the best chance if KC
win against VP Leisure today. I think SSG are my team to make the grand final run.
I think it's just so impressive here game six you're on the back foot just lost the game
You call the time out and you start popping off again
He adds lots of energy when it comes to do Tokyo really performing when it matters most
It's face issue or any thoughts exact always in position shot 47% in the series
He usually has the guy come take wings on the mess or he has a good a very difficult shot
You know it's confirmed. Yes, and that North America is guaranteed for teams in the top six
It's only happened one other time LA major back in March 2020
Oh, I remember you to space station phase and version one
You do space station phase and version one. There's one. There's one European team. They call team case though
with a player there a player called Vatera and
He kind of ran the gauntlet. Oh, yeah, the prize is going so they did three things for an age
There's no double elimination as to the playoff for occupied
So KSO had to win twice.
They didn't get the second one.
Now we're single.
They just have to win once.
So NA is going to be careful.
You know, it's been NA's tournament so far,
but I think Compton is advisable.
It's important to keep your expectations.
It's important to take all of the other regions seriously,
because it's KCN Falcons.
It's still very winnable for me at NEU.
So it's the two TRS teams that we talked about
all the way back on Wednesday.
So watch it.
I mean, did you see a tier list
the tier list on the first three shows only five.
There's five S-15s out there.
I thought you'd pick an NA up off the floor
and put them up on the ST right there.
Folks, tears of the bracket has panned out so far.
The gentleman may send home space station
gaming waits for the results of that
upper bracket match.
We've been talking this whole event about
the Falcons and how if they were to win
this world championship it would be one of the most impressive
runs because they had to come through the play-in and then go through the group of death.
But yeah, space station gaming,
they didn't have to go through the play-ins, but they were
Also in that group of death and still on this bracket,
they play twist of minds and gentle mates.
This is also a very impressive.
They play Casey and Falcon as well.
Same group, so it's a similar difficulty run overall.
Yeah, but that also pushes up Falcons as well.
Falcons, they took down Space Station.
Space Station has made this run, so we'll see them next.
We'll see.
We'll see all the roads starting to converge here
as we get towards the end of the tournament.
Here is the schedule of matches we have
for the rest of the playoffs Saturday, the Falcons.
Let's take the stage against Shopify Rebellion,
And then we'll see Carmen core take on the Cinderella story.
The tournament Curtis broke and they keep up the drama here.
But he's for taking on rain and world champs and RG.
And then we will crown our first ever inaugural 2v2
rocket league world champion.
Very excited to have all the action come to you here folks.
We're going to take a quick one when we come back.
The Falcons flying back in one of the only teams
not North America still in the building.
They'll be taken on top by our billion.
See you there.
Keep trying to experiment all right to help you un-become your parents.
I want you to try a game called Rocket League.
Ooh, is it a puzzle, like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
Okay.
With a car.
What do I hang my feet outside the window?
No, not your car.
But you said, think of-
It's a video game.
Oh, okay, I get it.
Where's the cartridge?
No, it's an online thing.
Is there a joystick?
Not like the ones you're thinking of.
But I need to get some quarters, right?
No.
I gotta blow in the cartridge.
Again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username.
Username, huh?
I don't know, how about Keith underscore 9-9-1-4?
The bathroom coat?
That's the only number I can kind of remember easily, so.

If the Sun seems bigger when you're in Fort Worth
So does the opportunity
It's got lots of things you never dreamed it has
the old and the new together in a
unexpected blend
You can do just about anything you set your mind to
You're here!
Come on in, come on in!
Oh my goodness.
So excited.
Welcome to the new HQ form.
Progressive's Rocket League Command Center.
Guys, don't be rude. Say hi to our guests.
Yeah.
No, I know what you're thinking.
What if you're thinking,
what if you're so talented and handsome?
What does that you guys do here?
Well, I lead a team of experts who work around the clock
to protect the Rocket League player base from the unexpected.
Hey, Wade.
Oh, it's Pilot.
I finally finished the report of last week's
accidental own goal cases.
Okay. Anything interesting?
Yeah. 99.14%.
We're 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 were backflip.
That doesn't make any sense. Like, 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.
Alright, well let me give you the grand tour. Over here we have our best and brightest Rule
One Specialist, John!
Yep, what's up?
Any interesting cases coming through today?
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 hard 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 before you're very nice.
Wait, sir?
Sir, listen to me. Did 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 rolled 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.
Right, France is our most popular band.
Loads of people are in France.
In fact, there ain't anything you can say!
No, no, no, no, no!
Oh, look at this! Look over here, guys!
We got a rule one happening in the office!
Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
Johnny, clear your calendar!
Ah, let's go.
We have fun here, right, guys?
Yeah? Yeah?
Can you give him a good work, everybody?
I
I
I'm not that sick of it
I'm just like you again
They get through the night
I'm not that sick of it
I'm not that sick of it
I was so pretty half of me
I had figured it out, never felt depressionally
But this sense of urgency, that's the one thing you went through
That I had figured it out, nothing could be true to me
But this kind of chemistry has been wonderful
And it's funny, but it's not a wrong thing
Almost like a lie, how come my love's seeking it
I see it in the color
What's it like if I can't
Take it through the night
I couldn't know what's it in the color
I got my thoughts in the color
We're the cities more so That makes it easier to be free
I just wanna get to know Right up, relaxing Tokyo
So long, hearing of this story That could be the one you're listening
I just wanna get to know Right up, relaxing Tokyo
So am I in a different life?
I just wanna get to know
How to relax in Tokyo
So go hear it, whisper in
That could be the one you're listening
I just wanna get to know
How to relax in Tokyo
So go hear it, whisper in
I could be the one you are on the set for me
You want to feel it, wanna fall in love, wanna keep, give it all up, you don't want to lose, you can't control, can't control
I
I feel that love is hard to find
It's in your heart, but it's in your mind
I'm playing this game
I'm playing this game
I'm still forever and I keep going up again
I
is that we lost time
if we stay right here
we could free ourselves inside
we'll stay awake forever
we'll hide away when no one knows
let's run away together
just lead me into your world
we'll stay awake forever
We're hiding away when no one knows
Let's run away together on our own
Just lean me into your world
Waiting for no one
We're heading straight up for the sun, don't ever notice
We'll take these cities on out, and all I know is that we lost time
If we stay right here, we could free ourselves in the sun
We'll stay awake forever
We'll hide away when no one knows
Let's run away together
Just need me to go
We'll stay awake forever
We'll hide away when no one knows
Let's run away together
You see, that's my way to get on our own
You see, that's my way to get on our own
The Rocket League action continues live in Tiki's Arena as we continue on to our 3v3
bracket on the road.
It ran a new World Championship here in 2026.
Welcome back to the test.
Falcons versus Shopify getting ready to go behind us.
We'll have that match here in just a moment stacks.
What's it like introing all the teams
and hearing your voice boom through the arena
like that every time?
There's this big rush, right?
Especially when it's the North American teams.
It's that home field advantage
and everybody just that sustained roar.
There's nothing like it.
I just wish I had his voice, you know?
I really did wish you could practice.
No, that's all right.
That's too much work.
I play like he's already so good it would take you.
There you go.
No, that's OK.
Please don't.
Please don't.
Now for the sake of this match, I'd like to be honored.
So I like seeing that you're in gringes.
We're about to have a duel of the two green teams left.
Only one can continue here in Vicki's arena.
Yeah, and decidedly, one home team.
That's where it's even at.
Especially two NA teams like, all right,
we hope both teams win.
Yeah, you know, when it's a matchup like this,
There is a very clear local favorite.
There is a local favorite.
And there will be a rooted form,
but on the other side though, I'm Falcons.
Yeah.
You have twins,
and then you have maybe the best player to ever play
Rock of the League.
Who is?
Because Drolley's been amazing.
Who is the last person from that BDS team
still in the tournament?
Last person, who is that trophy?
Back in 2024, he knows how to win here.
It was exotic on Vitality,
Monkey Moon on Twisted Minds,
and Drolley on Falcons.
You can see the Vitality and Twisted Minds
eliminated from this tournament yesterday.
Dean Falcons here, the only one with a Dickies Arena alumni
player, still playing Carmencourt with extra up there
as their coach.
Still trying to get his second in this arena,
but that'll be coming up a little bit later.
Yeah, but it's just wild.
We still have four North American teams
playing on the final day.
I think no one expected that.
And if rebellion wins this, that's
all five North American teams playing
on the final day that's unheard of.
Well, there's a couple other trends
that have been happening in the open era every year.
The team, one team wins two majors across all the big events
of the regular calendar year.
And so far, all the teams that have won,
Carming Corps, Gentlemates, and Falcons,
Gentlemates just got eliminated.
So you would think that either Carming Corps or Falcons
has to win the World Championship based off that pattern.
But also, North America has always won at least one event.
And we have yet to win an event here this year, Stax.
So that means we've got to win the world.
So one of those patterns ends here in 2026, but it also hasn't happened on American soil to win a
land
Since what LA 22 which we're talking back with the crowd where we had four Norris American teams in that top six as well
Last time that happened so lots of patterns lots of patterns are fun
Aren't they folks have a look let's take a look at a very well made visual pattern here called a schedule where you can
take a look at all the matches that are here.
That's what it is.
It's just, it's the pattern, man.
Okay, here are the teams that are got left to play today.
Carmen Cora and Virtus.Pro come up a little bit later on.
And then we have our NA versus NA winners.
Man, it just feels so good to say.
Foot Esports versus NRG.
Battling with everything to gain.
Nothing to lose up there.
You win, you go to top four.
Lucy's dropped top six, no big deal.
We'll see them playing a little bit later on.
And then the 2v2.
First ever 2v2 grand finals of RLCS.
Yeah, 2v2 is going to be big, too.
I mean, Falcons is about to play right now.
Obviously, the twins are going to want to go into that match in high hopes.
They're happy because they won the big victory today.
If they lose this match up here, they're going to be in real trouble because then and
after, they're not going to be playing around.
Also, I guess you could say, if Garmin Corp loses the Virtus Pro later, talk Wavy two-piece.
That's true.
Maybe I might not be the best one either.
Yeah.
It's going to be a fun match either way.
The two-piece team is so dynamic and so high scoring.
It's just like that one's going to be a lot of fun.
With Garmin Corp, they won't be eliminated from the tournament, but Falcons.
This is their term of life.
They have to win in this match if they hope to hold the 3v3 World Championship trophy.
So we'll see how the players are prepared here as we get into the matches in just a moment, folks.
$300,000 is going to the top team on Championship Sunday, the team that holds the trophy.
The trophy is the big prize, but my goodness, the purse is pretty nice too, Bates.
Yeah, that's a big person. Like I said, $100,000, I can pay a lot of bills off of that.
I'm starting with my light bill.
Hates isn't a lot of tech, guys. That's what we're learning here.
If you're looking at that number and wishing it was just a little bit bigger for the players at home
One of the best things you can do is buy the world championship bundle in the shop right now in Rockley
1100 credits a hundred percent of the net profits goes directly to the RLCS world championship prize pool
So it goes directly to the players just imagine if they pay it forward though think of all the credit
You could get with three hundred thousand dollars
I can't do the math in my head
It looks like we got a little bit of time on the tickets arena here is tickets arena. Can you hear me?
Unfortunately, oh, they definitely hear me. They love me. I know they love me
All right, let's see if we got about the first rebellion coming up in a second
I'm just gonna get a post of the arena real fast here. If you're one of a focus make some noise
Like a little conglomeration over there all right now. I'm three p.m. The other side, okay every room for shop by rebellion make some noise
the home field advantage folks but the home field advantage continues on the chat
you'll guys here to let us know who you think is gonna win the progressive
handle and a little bit it's not started just yet don't start spending just quite
yet folks but if you're watching you got a chance to earn some drops as well make
sure you have us pulled up on twitch as well as tiktok you want to maximize
your chances here drop rush began at the beginning of the week it'll continue

sure you come back even if you've already feel like you've got them all
you have it. Gonna come back and watch tomorrow to finish that one off. Love having these special events in game as well as out.
Oh, absolutely. But this match coming up
Everyone wants NA to get five teams into that top six. It's gonna be very difficult. Last time these guys played Boston Major
It was quarterfinals Falcons destroyed them 409 to 1 in goals. And they change history right now folks
It's time for the next match the world championship
Introducing first on the blue side,
threat presenting me now!
Featuring the 2B2 World Finalist,
the High Flying Deep Calcans!
I
a
Rosseldahl's formed exactly for this tournament here draw they joined the boys not even a week after the world championship bottom was over
We're about this with CRK were in it, but they were satisfied organization
They won a player who's always said a world championship trophy, so they went out of the young product
Yeah, one of the biggest roster moves in history and no one expected it at all
Charlie comes here for one reason only to win the entire tournament.
He's joined by the best chemistry in all of Rocket League, the Twins.
You talk about the Twins though, how just great.
They have been killers setting a record with 13 shots in a single game at the World Championship.
I mean, listen, you've got enough time to do it.
You can really rack up some real crooked numbers, but just its relentless offense
is what Shopify is going to have to deal with from especially the Twins.
And they don't play around either coming when they're on your special rice from me holds down the back line
That's rally addition has opened up clears gave them more space to operate. That's scary. Yeah, that high-powered offense, but also their
Their defense is phenomenal when they're by themselves even in 2v1 situations
They know how to defend better than any other team
I mean a team is on the stage. It's time to welcome North America
The rebels are armed and dangerous.
Please welcome Justice Fyrex Hamlet!
The rebels are armed and dangerous.
Please welcome Justice Fyrex Hamlet!
This is your number two seed in North America all of the other four have made
it to the final day it is up to rebellion to get the clean sweep for
North America and they've already taken down the number one North American seed
in NRG lost out on that group tiebreaker they want this lower bracket
wrong. Exactly listen they're playing some of their best ball especially man in the
middle but we'll get to him in a second. Cobra in moments you got to think
about game four yesterday against by Toudy first killer hit him Cobra had to
Hit the double on the counter-attack, and he hit a split in his back.
No questions asked.
Yeah, but then you have first killer, the Josh Allen,
I call, of Rocket League.
So accomplished, has so many numbers,
but has never won the big one.
It is just finally his time.
The outscored team vitality, 10-3, which, again, on paper,
you would go into that match going.
There's no way that would happen.
Historically, never a chance.
This is a brand-new shot in Fire Rebellion.
And just how about the performance of LJ
Through the group stage was absolutely lights out.
My eyes are on LJ for this match.
You mentioned the Boston foul between Falcons
and Shopify rebellion.
Falcons came out stomped in 4-0.
LJ didn't register a shot in that series.
I want to see him step up here in the rematch.
He's not having a problem at this time around.
Turn around shooting about 30% almost.
He's shooting all right.
0.8 goals per game.
He's been in position.
And obviously also, he's been a set-up man, too.
Checking the highlights from yesterday.
He was the first killer in position to be successful.
And the first killer's having one of his best
Benz ever gives 490 points per game over a goal for a game.
He's not playing around.
Yeah, but Boston, no excuses there either.
They had the home field advantage there,
and it didn't pay off.
They want to right those wrongs.
I think it's kind of been that pendulum swing for LJ, right?
In the past, hasn't been aggressive enough.
Then he got over-aggressive and tried to push too much,
tried to create too much and put it all on himself.
Understand?
You got first killer, you can pass to.
You can rack up a lot versus this.
He's also filled up the net on his own.
I think this is as good as Shopify Valley and has ever looked you got to save your best for last in the house
I mean sure do and listen if you want to become a world champion though
You got to be able to beat the best yeah, so you want to play Falcons you got to be able to beat them
You want to play energy got you got to be able to beat them doesn't matter what is and I love first killers
And if you just fake they want to get a zin leap ass about you how to fill playing is then he said zin
She's another player. I know who I am. I know what I bring to the table. I'm comfortable on my confidence
Yeah, their first match of day two they weren't awake for they got three oh by man city
But they've looked so much better on day three and day four.
So I expect them to play much better than they did in Boston.
I think that match was also day one.
They manned City versus Reveille, and it was day one matchup.
So day one of groups, day two of groups.
Oh, I see what you mean.
Yeah, so their first day of the competition.
Exactly.
A little slow.
That was a 3-0 against Man City.
But since then, they have looked strong.
We will see, folks.
How they look today.
That is all that matters.
Last life on the line, you must win here
to continue at the World Championship.
Let us know who you think is going to win
in the progressive fan vote stacks.
Shopify Rebellion or Falcons?
Boy, we've had a lot to say about Shopify Rebellion here,
haven't we?
And I know that this crowd would have an absolute roar
if and when I picked them, unfortunately,
the Falcons defense has been stifling in this event.
And I'm a huge fan of defense.
I'm sorry, Dickie Zarina.
I got Team Falcons.
My favorite team versus my favorite player.
It's very hard to choose.
It's a true turn of winner versus your favorite player.
The numbers Falcons 4-0 in Boston 9-1 in goals, but there's something about North America this weekend
Give me rebellion give me with the upset the underdogs will take it
We will get every single
It's something special when you gotta give get all around
The most best desk is Ander Express right now. This is awful. CJ, CJ's on the floor. Come on, Zach, we need a big wave. He's up there, he's waving at you.
I can't do it, CJ. They're too good. Give me the Falcons. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They're just that good.
Good.
The Shopify team have given me so much hope, but I don't know, I just can't have a heart
broken again, folks.
How does the Koi feel about a Shopify on one side?
We've got the Falcons on the other end of the air, but a couple of Shopify!
Can they give us all the NA teams in top six?
Can they still win that winner in the year?
Oh my goodness.
What a story it would be if it happens, but still, they've got to win four games
again from the best offenses we've ever seen.
58% of chat has Shopify as well.
Do the Falcons play. Spoiler.
To everyone's hopes in the arena
and the majority of people online
we're about to find out.
They are ready. They are prepared on the stage.
And we're going to give you one of the best
Rock League matches.
Hopefully you've ever seen.
Game seven.
Probably.
That's the only way.
Game seven.
I think it goes to game seven.
I kind of got Shopify.
If it goes to game six.
Yeah, I think Falcons have to win the game six.
I don't know. We'll see what happens.
It's playoff Saturday. This is the time, folks.
That means from now on in our schedule, we only have bangers left.
A turbulent season for both these teams, but only one green can continue.
The birds of prey, talons glittering in the sunlight,
in the sunlight, oppositionally defied by the will of the people.
The voices of change have suffered the pain of defeat,
and it has only made them ravenous to claim that ultimate glory.
It's Falcons versus the rebellion,
one step closer to the truth.
This is the battle to find out who truly owns the color green.
The best performances we've had out of both of these teams in quite some time.
All eyes on Shopify and Rebellion to see if they can take North America all the way.
Okay, what a seriesie, not yet.
He's got the first half of the first round in 19 seconds.
First killer with a set up there all over the backboard.
or about to sink their high of the spear.
The answer's no.
Four North America, ooh.
Oh.
Oh.
That's a good start, guys.
Well, I'm not going to say the region is known
for this, the mean of pause.
But this is too classic.
Don't play on Saturday, 13 seconds in.
We'll see what's happening here.
clearly on the Falcon side of things you can see we're just speaking to the
admins. It is a bit of a trend. The old kickoff goal against the Paws but we'll
just leave this one for the jury I think as the crowd. North America,
what a performance, what a tournament for North American teams through the
champ Sunday guaranteed. Could it be five? Could it just be Carmen Corp?
against this region, this home region, North America.
This world championship feels like a fever dream
for North American fans out there.
Trying to find out if first killer
will let this first trophy on the land
at the biggest, most important one of the season.
Let him hear you, guys!
We're back in the building!
The head to head to one match Boston major four row to Falcons.
What was it, awful series from rebellion, I believe in that one as well.
Even LJ could have got a shot for the whole series, what a chance to redeem themselves
over here.
Start of the season, they get swept, well hang on a minute, hang on a minute.
That's the reason there's the long line!
You still have to remember, Ma, that the end of the Falcons is a Jirali, the transfer move of all time.
To team up with the twins.
Tide game here for the Falcons against rebellion. Beautiful response.
Yeah, FK, big mistake there. We didn't see you make a single mistake against Vitality.
You looked incredible. The FK vs. Sam Matchup was first killer.
All day long, the same before they now get to face the Falcons on the final weekend of
the season after getting locked by them at the start of the season.
Have they improved or are the Falcons just too good off the back court?
Uncontested, LJ all good as well.
Just going to be top up.
Does have boost, keeps the ball incredibly well with the ceiling pinch, but the Rebellion
I've got to get him next! It's Charlie with two!
Charlie on a pole standing here. Killers off the ceiling.
Get in the initial setup and you do have to poke eyes over it.
First killer. A bit of a miss there. Enough for an opportunity to open up for the Falcons.
They take it and the lead.
A little shake, the FK.
Another player who's looking for the ultimate glory.
a land victory, a world's victory.
One of the best players to have seen in this each fight.
Right there with Vizier.
It just hasn't tasted the ultimate success either.
Falcons as well, what a story this could be.
Dryly.
Just very arena a couple of years ago.
Rift.
Maki bird.
He went it again.
Falcons, great start.
Just looking a bit panicky, rebellion.
Falcons.
Far more composed team early game.
They don't want a few misses, they're just a little cracked.
They can't bring shots, but a few double hits, they find a way out.
A little bit of low boost here for Rebellion, but that's not going to stop them from trying to
amount a little bit of pressure towards that net.
Beautiful cut here from First Killer.
And the mid-boost, too, is power in the ceiling up by two.
It's bumped off the play by Rewatt.
Pressure still sustained with the Rebellion.
Here comes Gopher up next, both for the Bump, no touch on the ball.
See, camera belly in, it's burned.
Yeah, we can chop a fire bell in right there fast as well. They're finding that extra pass.
They're not just going for constant air-to-air force, but LJ has been looking in for,
that's Cokert takes it slow, I don't mind it, but he's got three to bit in there that's another low 50.
The belly has to keep this pressure mounted and they're still in boost.
I'm going to win back the ball, he was with a huge pop.
You can pop that one, LJ's open, LJ's very open, but first kill, we'll be behind.
Just got to compose themselves to the Rebels.
Not only that top position, right, but they got to find some creativity.
Falcons, one of the better teams when it comes to defense, 71% success rate.
We'll see if they go for it again here.
It's sharpness-wise.
Falcons don't have to struggle too hard as they regain positioning here.
Final two minutes.
Go for it up, back for it covered all the way around, the rebellion continue, but a few months coming through, they're getting a little bit ahead of themselves.
They've been taking that corner boost which is huge, they've got the positional advantage here at belly, but they're a gold down, looking for above, first killer.
Killer's looking for a teammate, LJ right there as well.
It's focus first man on the center, it's an orbit touch, needs someone underneath to zero boost, pop reset, first killer in the corner as well.
as well. LJ's got a tough spot, has her all asked of me. He's looking for the bump. He's got the demo. Who's high? Nobody.
That's the level of that, the rebellious?
Time for the beautiful demo. Killer is funny, a clear pauper, waiting for the snake.
Drowley just found himself vertical on that front post with a hundred boost
regulations so he's just out of position and come for a shot to the back post
that no rotation foul is. Put him in the safe from Drowley there is LJ's launch
one downfield. Here is that man the world champ. One of the best we've seen in such a
short career just incredible performance. It's a huge 50 reverse to the last man
getting that touch required. One minute left all tied up this is a huge
Game 1 it builds from the first result in the Boston Major for Belly, the only Game 1
that's going to be incredibly tough against Falcons.
This is definitely the most difficult challenge the Falcons have faced yet.
Okay, full back, get up!
Off the side to small killers.
It's an incredible touch from him, given the circumstances and it's nearly open down
the other end. First Kira is back.
He needs a generational performance. He was so incredible against Vitality but
That's all well and good.
Got a good right here in the top eight shot on there.
It is covered.
The Falcons playing a lot of deep bench rebellion
happen where they want them one over the top.
Valley makes the touch, but still they all go through.
20 seconds.
An attempted clear here.
Will find his way over the midline.
Can the Falcons follow through?
Killer on target.
Right side.
Beautiful save.
10 seconds on the clock though.
Can rebellion find the last stitch effort?
to find the goal. Off the ceiling, LJ did not. This one clears as the catch for the loss of an ear.
Takes his time. Go for the ball and it's all well and done. Rebellion. Killed the ball as they see O.T.
Smart play there, LJ. Off the demo there. Under a bit of duress, but these kickoffs were incredible against Vitality.
and won the possession again, got a throw into Killis.
Gonna be able to keep this one off the side wall,
50 underneath, and if you win to come in through as well
as Carly dodges the demo, huge touch,
Burst Killer's getting chased by a West.
The demo returned by Rebellion.
Fearfreak leading it for FK, he's gonna keep it as well.
Gets one, gets two, launches it, downfield to Carly.
Little bit of a catch here,
Carly gonna slow things down,
hope it goes to challenging on low boost,
but Shopify do such an incredible job
with these balls, no matter what end of the field they're on.
Kofir, having a free time here for Rebellion.
Carry them out to the other end.
Feet!
From the ball!
It's the Falcons defense!
Stay strong!
I don't know how that's going to go into him.
One with a bump as well.
Now the shot, all well, Jay's back.
That's our quick Falcons defense.
Into offense, but it's another mistake.
Rebastic in trouble.
Charlie's there to clean up.
Both teams still looking shaky.
What a game one, we've got both of the time, minute gone.
So this is gonna wanna leave this one for all last few blocks at a high.
What if we can collect?
We're gonna have to save time with this one too.
He knows trolley is willing to call the bluff.
Speed.
Dover's already up on the other end.
Shot the five, just continue to throw this ball towards Net.
They gotta be careful of Falcons doing an incredible job.
Getting a lot of these counter clears, that's where they ride.
On the counter attack.
He's dropped down, Jell-O's Jolly Underneath. This is all for for a ball and he nearly got two.
He's relaxed. He needs first Jell-O, LJ to the wall.
Needs to keep it close. For a ball, he's done well. He's just still those blues down the end.
He can see LJ now grabbing Falcon's corner. It's just bending the offense.
I want to suck it out of the postbox with the resection to get to the farm.
First Jell-O, gets the ball, goes down the other end.
LJ has to track back. Needs a touch, but lets a touch.
This counter attack is so deadly for Falcons. Look at them just press up.
That truly is where the game plan for the Falcon, but Shopify will look to return.
Two minutes into the overtime now, Falcons full possession of this ball.
We lost tri-spotted Chok-Dum and nobody from the Falcon is willing to push up on the play.
Instead, Rebellion takes their shot to the backboard. The follow is here! Get it, get it!
Now he's getting off the lawn here, okay.
With the duck, it's still close for one more.
Panic from Falcons, pop up.
First man on the scene is Rwass, but he's low and he's left the ball for killers.
LJ, instant jump, he's big one for free.
Cope is in an awkward spot.
He's recovered so well to get the touch.
Charlie, where's that going?
Charlie, where's that going?
It's found a Rwass.
He has B-Set mode, first kill that you keep it.
He collects, now up with the 50.
Point is going for his fight, it's Jolly Red!
That just went ill!
What a pinch!
Jolly and it's same challenge on, it's a first killer!
He takes his time in full sensing!
A well earned game one at two of the Falcons!
Oh!
What a game one, three minute overtime!
So it was all about moments, it was all about Riley.
I mean he found himself downfield, a hat trick for him as well, that first goal.
Just a few mistakes early from Rebellion and also Falcons on the other side.
See no one rotated back there but Riley, although he did make that mistake
front post with Boots, he made up for it in that overtime.
Found himself in the opposition corner, you can see he just absolutely rips it.
I would try to do that, because I think we've got ourselves an impressive series but Rebellion had a couple of chances to win that one as well.
We have an incredible series on our hands and not only just because of who's facing up, but how they got to this point.
Rebellion on their end, this is the best we've ever seen them play.
First Killer is on the greatest tear he's had in his career and quite some time.
And for the Falcons the road here it felt a little Mickey at first. I can't lie, right? They went up against SSG
That's not Mickey though out of respect for what we've seen from SSG
But the 3-0 over MI VR and the 4-1 over Furia you kind of just felt like okay. These are should
Wins, but this version of Shopify rebellion is not the same. They saw in Boston
This is a new version here in North America and Dickens Arena and Shopify want to win, you know
Here we go
Game 2
The rebellious hardest series have looked strong
Just in those moments and it was like that's all those over times come down to what a shot first goers face
Such a great career and out of just hitting the ball as hard as human
He's going to be in there every single time.
The real mistake from the Valgings is a free line to the rebellion.
What the hell are they doing there?
Just to panic the rush from the Falcons.
We don't expect to see eSports World Cup champs such a bounce back after missing that Paris Major.
There's a nice drop down.
Kill us just a little slow.
his brother side first kill us up quick crowd could just see him pinging across
from the right-hand side. It's Coppers down the 50 but he is a lot of boost.
He's got a lot of respect and he's down the 50. Back to LJ's, put himself down
for it. I love this wink up late. We'll be slow back on to another win.
Now it's still looking as hard as we'd expect but they have to one game win on the ball.
The Falcons are definitely prioritizing what has gotten them to this point and that is their defense.
2-3 Claire as it feels like at all times, or on that backline,
Jolly and Ruoc ready to go from every angle to defend against Kofrin LJ.
Shot fire, Jolly and they want to extend on the lead right now.
The threat in that one might be the move.
Shot coming through and I saved Kofrin.
Now I can just a few more touches with this two following each other up.
We'll see from them that trust.
Place for LJ as we're sealing, as support on the left side as well.
First killer. Get a win this pull, just smacks it.
He's going to be able to pull up first. LJ just wants to get out, wants to boost.
Hopefully buying time, it's a beautiful pass across.
First killer has to come up, no contact from either side. LJ's out.
He takes it up top.
Race it around one, and he beat the second.
We're in touch.
He has just caught the last one, he just grogged himself.
Such a bright play, but he's done incredibly well.
Oh, he's gonna have to cut the cast.
Actually, this is a no lose.
We lost one of the people with him,
but a quick challenge from the rebellion
actually puts them in attacking position here.
They play for the 50 over to the other end.
LJ lurking out back, and that's what you gotta do.
You have to be prepared for these tears
that the cops are gonna try and find.
Some small mistakes as they're really relying on that last man, Low 50.
It's actually won cleanly by 1st Killer.
He looks for one.
I'm gonna fake as well.
He's sent out, feeling easy enough for LJ.
And it's straight to Cove.
He's got 1st Killer across.
He's got 1st Killer, and he kills what a touch,
and he gets the demo as well.
In moments like that right now, we need that version of Rebellion
that is not afraid to be physical,
Right now it's happening on the wrong end for them
Killers knows I'm all the way to the other side a little bit of a miss here, but first killer will take the opportunity
This out of a one
First killer can keep it in as well with boost
Place the patient game, make sure killers can't collect anything down that left-hand side.
Rebellion, still have the advantage. Could have been Su-O, maybe should have been.
But the Rock League, God say no.
Perhaps keeping in mind that the Falcons are a top two defense here at this particular RLCS World Championship.
shift so this is the greatest challenge for rebellion to get past they still
continue to hold on to that one goal lead was chopped over a minute to go
Falcons need to find themselves on the other end but it is first killer trying
to follow the clear.
Killers with a 50, what a touch from Kofa as well, it's up quick. Falcons have really had
boost troubles even in the first game. Rebellion have done very well at
just not allowing it to be comfortable stealing their corners.
Roas is demoed, Roas is demoed, it's over.
Killis is back, Reskiller Plank saved Ritsun Barpo.
Kofa up, Roas so quick, it's off the corner, it's trouble for Abelian, get the shot!
Team Falcon genuinely have one of these best counterattack strategies in the game.
The priority is to bump on the first killer, taking it straight out of the opportunity
to get anything and tie here with only 40 to go.
Falcons find themselves in a sweet momentum.
FK bumped the wrong guy, that wasn't the shooter, that wasn't the plan.
What a fate for Falcons off that corner un-contested.
For a last pops one, now Covebot just trying to work it around.
He's done well to beat two.
There's always the third on Falcons, ready to go.
LJ just caught a little close here. He's able to get back in support.
First killer. That's the way in Australia.
He has to respect the touch. He's popped it up to 100 boost.
LJ popped the roof. Gets one. Pops through.
The knee. First killer's trying to find that bump.
He doesn't get the demo.
He's just rubbed here for rebellion, especially with the bump.
First killer with the clear. Rebellion went over time.
I want to get this ball down just with the situation there.
That's a huge first punch.
And it's still alive somehow.
The pop off the back court, now it should be down.
Two games, two overtime.
The stopping strategy, just spotting each other,
but also they go for that first attack,
on shot by the initial attempts.
There it is again, Rewind to intercept.
Beautiful, because he downed LJ just to hide it apart.
The floater's on the mark.
Smart play though from LJ,
he knew that he had time to collect.
There's a little wiring note,
obviously you're backboarded by yourself with zero boost.
Oh, 50s, LJ's out.
Does he get a quick one or one
if he goes quick enough, but he gets bumped off it.
Another overtime, game one was important.
This one is just as far as killer with the save.
Pro has been a sidewall.
So he's just gonna leave it for LJ.
Has boost, works at a route one.
Looks for the first killer.
Can he find the 50 on air?
Stole him to boost the game shopper fight with their R demo.
First killer's getting isolated, third man.
He wins the first touch.
Charlie, who's winning this battle?
He's off the backboard.
He's a free shot!
You're not there yet!
It's overtime!
You're nothing but shine!
Look at that setup and you tell him first killer, remind him who you are.
He says, tap me up brother, tap me up.
What a slump from coach of the men that hit the overtime winner against Team Vitality.
So Sam, Sam and his boys out of the tournament.
They drop the first, they win the second overtime.
This is heading towards an all-time series.
And it's just Saturday.
It's just for top six.
What an e-sport.
Both of these teams that were gunning
for that original top six out of the group stage here
and landed in that top eight of the plane.
Like their lives are depending on any crazier parking.
You tell them. You tell them.
It truly, honestly, seeing rods like that out of First Killer and Copper Tear starting to
trip up, it's old school versions of them that are playing on a level they've never
seen.
That would have been heartbreak for Rebellion if they dropped that.
It went to overtime.
We saw that goal line touch the shot for an LJ that was barred down somehow, not
in.
If they didn't win that game after having a chance like that to low down against
You start to think about the Boston Major, you think about that 4-0 sweep, and it can all unravel, but they've got themselves back in this game, back in this series.
Huge for the confidence, Falcons now need to respond. We saw a few mistakes from them as well. That first goal.
Just a rush moment in defense, Birdman just banged it straight off the ceiling, got caught underneath it. Open net.
This is a huge start, especially for Kopa.
The LJs had a great day when a first killer is always going to look fantastic, but the LJ yesterday was incredible
And Kofa obviously got that game when he shot, but we know how good he can be
We see his ex teammate space station as well was finding new levels. Yeah, we would go for in particular
You know, we've all been waiting for his pop-off moment here
Everybody was spectacular so it's had their time and first killer the most consistent
We've seen throughout this entire week leading up to this point
But to see Kofa getting involved this heavily is such a good sign for rebellion
but you do have to keep that falcons defense in mind a reminder that they have a
71% success rate on their end of the field and it shows you see the twins in
duos keeping all of these shots out it's a matter of how how do you get one of
them out of the way so you can take the solo for now though rebellion in the
high pressure moments staying calm seems to just it's working they've looked the
most calm in comparison to everybody else that the Falcons has had to take down.
Shopify it's to be honest been the little things for them in this series that
is really impressive it's just stealing the opposition boost making sure that when
the Falcons are counter attacking they're doing it with you know 30 or
less in the tank obviously a lot less to work with for this team that such an
aerial dominant pipeline offense when they do get the ball in the front of their bonnet,
but Rebellion just stealing boost making sure that they've got that third man back and not
overcommitted. If that second man can just play solid, can really give Falcons a shake.
One of the bigger, you know, fun little side things to note too is with the Falcons their weak
spot is that third goal coming through. If rebellion can find that third goal, the game
is theirs. Falcons have lost 50% of the games where the goal that they have conceded were
three and above.
It seems like a team. We mentioned the defense as well and Stax mentioned it on the desk.
That's why they're winning a lot of games 2-0 and less because they just don't concede
much of the Falcons, but we just saw a couple of mistakes in that game too. It's only early
in the series, you're expecting both teams to keep stepping up. All six players on the
pitch. As you get motoring here, just bit of an extended break. That one-one, Dickies
Arena holds that breath. Here we go. Game three. Go ahead, game for either side.
Camp Sunday awaits only one.
Back to the kickoff we go, we'll see.
What these teams have done was their time as well.
They gave an opportunity for the Falcons to regain,
but it seems to be the same story as before
with a more aggressive Shopify.
They got quarter boost again, we mentioned it before.
Shopify keeps stealing Falcons' quarter boost.
Just nipping in there,
grabbing a touch,
Killers to the side, it's Thunderawhas secure, he's been here 100 himself, he's just so worried about shopper fight pitching.
And he's denying his brother of the full tank of the maximum resources down the other end.
We're all waxed with the pop. Anyone there, Drowley's going to have to turn.
Killers wins a clean lift and he's got zero, he's been removed.
Bugs coming through, we know Kofa loves getting involved, getting physical.
Usually down the other end though, Killers keeps the guys in close.
control starts to live for a while.
Falcons have tried it many a times.
Like you said, isolate that third man out.
Nice punch, hang on.
This is uncontested.
This is uncontested!
Get it!
LJ, on the free attempt with Kofa.
Look at his pass back and forth from this side.
Nobody from the Falcons for the first time there.
They were watching Kofa.
He took it off the sidewall, and they thought he was looking for the block, but he was just waiting for LJ.
Here goes Thurskiller off the ceiling, has a reset must and it's blocked and well covered, all three members of Falcons are there.
But we're expecting Falcons to bring the offense, to bring that pressure, to keep Rebellion in.
The majority of this series has been the other way around.
Thurskiller has to back off, this is a big mistake for Rebellion.
Tim and Kofi just got tangled, Kofi has 23, has to keep it close, has to keep this ball in the corner, LJ, popping it up.
If you use that outlet incredibly well in there it is again, it's Kofi with a demo and he's fighting FK, he's fighting FK with space.
He's looking for the 50th well, LJ, popping it up, Kofi up quick as well, but it's dusted by all that.
LJ manages to get the hoop still here, the draw is already on to the other end, they make that clear out.
Two minutes into this, same story as before, shopper fight, holding on to the one.
Can they make it two?
Both players from the Falcons go on the defense, and their back of positions ready to go.
Whoa!
It's a massive mistake, it wasn't in!
Good first killer!
Has he ended into his own next?
An 84 miles per hour!
He just wanted to get a touch on it.
but not that one!
Sometimes he's a little too good for his own efforts, but not too much to worry about rebellion.
On the edge, can they make some for their mistakes?
Disaster for Chuff Barbellion.
They need to keep their heads their way.
We're on the edge!
What is happening?
What is happening in this game?
No one, buddy!
No!
All denials, though!
Another eject and another!
All taken away by the Falcons' defense!
Shopify just had to keep growing!
Shot after shot in the hope that something could stick!
Both teams just needed to take a breath, I think.
Particularly Shopify Rebellion, but Charlie couldn't believe his luck.
He couldn't believe he had an open net,
but it was off the post and it still won once.
Two minutes left.
He got the sidewall, so Killis has to jump to it.
Has room on the left as support on the left as a breach of the player
I like this from LJ sitting to the side, but if you've got no one on it's gonna be a counter attack for falcons
And they can't get the demo relax is just each in the box each in the pressure
Finding a pass the pop out to kill us with space reset off the room. It's blocked
Rebellion under extreme duress right here. I've got no one home and Charlie circling
All of the top can just continue to circle around the rebellion, they're getting closer
and closer and as that goes on rebellion boost continues to defeat, they need a clear, they
need time to gather themselves and they've done it.
LJ in position to try and take this out first killer, taking it all the way to the sky.
H makes it clear.
LJ to the ceiling.
I'm dealing.
Fire down.
Poppery could have given them the opportunity.
Your lawful to Falcons.
Drowley has to go back to the corner boost.
It just interested positions from post to Falcons
when they found a way out downfield.
We saw Drowley before punishing.
This time, it's first killer.
We've met the Kofa Dust one, Rawash.
She'll be fine to collect.
Uses the first touch, the free flip to Drowley.
He pops it back forward.
First killer, he's keeping it safe in the corner bit.
Gets a better teammate.
Distraculous off the roof.
50 by LJ, doesn't get the second.
Or a wasp to the corner as well.
That's one looking for the shot.
That's a poor touch to the middle.
Charlie popping it up as well.
Shopify are out.
I don't know how they've got out here,
but they found a way through first killer.
Who's got one?
Doesn't get the buff on the second.
Nobody from Shopify has been able to take out
that first initial challenge,
let alone the second.
12 seconds on the clock here and the Falcons do it now.
Three games.
The best from Rebellion, CJ.
They've got five on the clock.
The hope and a dream to finish this in regulation.
Otherwise, another grueling overtime is ahead.
Three games, three open times.
What are we witnessing?
Tiki's arena producing magic.
North America trying to bring their best.
The team from the Middle East, the Esports World Cup.
Chance trying to send the first North American team
The 50 makes the second, going what he's there for the Falcons.
Shot by a Vellion.
They can just walk this out.
The rod gaps.
That's a huge boost grab from Drowley.
End to end.
He's looking for a huge 50 win.
It's up the corner.
It's a big read.
He's missed by one first killer.
Supports his teammate.
A fake for LJ.
To the play!
Just save from Drowley.
He's actually going to leave this.
It'll keep you really just pushing forward.
And the extra pass.
The drop down to the backboard.
To the shot.
It's just Albuquerque in the falcons rebellion making up incredibly well, and they keep on pushing
They keep on working on they've got to keep the pressure consistent though letting up the gas like the value
Get back into position. Can they do it here? No challenge from rebellion instead killers. Finally
Leaves his team to the other end is a shot over one
The Grand Moles are falling!
The falcons are in!
What a touch from Roas.
He pops like gets the 50, face first killer.
He's won three of them twice over on the goal line to give Falcons the 2-1 lead with three
overtime games.
And insane performance out of both of these two teams here, but a new step up on the end
of the Falcons in the end made the difference for Ross.
Popping Rocky could also just see that Falcons defense in its tourist form.
And it didn't mean that Revelli were playing a bad game whatsoever outside the one own
goal mistake that we got there.
But out of that CJ, Rebellion are doing enough to survive, to coast, to have that head to head.
But they're missing that clutch factor that we were getting from them in all of their other
series.
I think it's, it's not a time to panic for Rebellion though.
We see the time out from Panda just to honestly reinforce what they're doing at the moment.
I mean the fact that they're in overtime from that first killer 84 mile an hour own
goal and to end is absolutely crazy.
This is what Land Rocker League can do these moments.
When you do get the opportunity, you have to take it.
And it's four rebellion.
They are right in this.
You compare it to that Boston Major performance, 4-0.
They were barely, barely up there.
It was nine goals to three in that match-in.
As I said, LJ couldn't get a shot on the board
on the table for the series.
This is a different looking shot before a rebellion.
The pointy end of the season,
the final weekend of the season for top six for champ Sunday but it's still the
Falcons. I miss the Paris Major but they look back in business and they're in the
box seat now with a 2-1 lead. The good thing is that you know shop of her
belly and it definitely taken notice to how quick the Falcons follow each other
up on defense. They found an answer to those counter attacks and that was
the biggest way to be able to slow them down.
But now rebellion have to find a way to not exhaust themselves on defense.
And the rest of the series, you're hoping for more quality over that quantity
that the rebellion are taking to that end of the field.
My sweet game for Shelf-A-Fire Rebellion.
If Falcons get the 3-1 lead, it's
going to be incredibly difficult for one of North America's favorites.
I say that, but there's already four in champ Sunday.
They're just trying to join the party.
Here we go.
Time out over.
Valhans, two-one up and with the kickoff for a wasp.
With a reset, beats one looking for a bump.
LJ gets a reset, so we can recover incredibly quickly.
Oh, this is a bad mistake though for a Valiant.
This is a bad start in a triple committee.
LJ, a huge touch and maybe a little moment to breathe.
They've just got to compose themselves.
Composer is definitely going to be the name of the game
before Propellion.
Falcons have all of that indentsome on their end of the field.
First bump comes through.
Killers challenged, but the ball still leads with them
to the other end.
It's a shot on target.
The Falcons, they're playing the patient game.
and it seems to be working.
Still want to see rebellion walk forward at Falcons.
Right now, they're just kind of expecting to get beat.
Right now, they're under extreme pressure
or a wasp is in as well.
It is blocked and Kopa's up.
Still Falcons just tightening the vice on this rebellion team.
Having the cut rotation doesn't mean
to counterattack down the other end,
but they just can't get out.
They can't get out against this team.
And for good reason,
three of the best in the world on the pitch.
Looking incredible.
They're just keeping it in the corner of rebellion,
But this is a rough start for them!
Whatever the rebellion of change right now might not be the answer because you're being met with a much more physical and hyper-aggressive falcons.
Ruas going, taking his time, gets the boost steal.
The shot comes in at rebellion.
They're trying to play the sneak attack, how one person set up to the other end, but the first-sealer can barely get that buff past the halfway mark.
They're not stealing that boost anymore either, they just can't get that sustained offense there.
Morphum and I just fully rotating back, but LJ with a little hard rotation, a close touch as well.
Open top of chance, LJ does what first you want more, I don't know if that's the play.
It's different from what we saw game one, where LJ was just hanging in there, grabbing that under it.
Morphum popping up, Roulas. He's just going to let him hit it to him.
They're just going to give him a backcourt touch, LJ's missed.
LJ's missed and is there a shot? There's a clearance instead, Roulas though.
He's right there with perfect positioning.
dribble. It was recognized by Draleigh. It was cut out. And now, Roas, can he get rid of that second man?
That little man because Killers was pre-jumping. Once again, it's just safety into the quarter.
It's smart for rebellion. But for how long can you keep this Falcon State pinned? Killers has made a mistake.
It's even unlocking Roas. From right now, as the rebellion's priority has now become the
defense, but how long can you last? The Falcon's bait. They take the shot. All the members
of the rebellion are there and they're waiting to take another and they try to keep playing
the sneak attack and they can't get out of their shot.
That's a poor Sachi, it was a breach up in Charlie, he got nowhere near it.
FK with the 50, LJ to me, LJ, does he get the double?
Valken's double commit, first chance for rebellion to keep the ball in.
Have to keep this Valken's deep hit, still boost.
Keep them at the most pressure possible.
Under that two rest, but Valken's around once again and they're looking incredibly
confident. This is such a classic version of the Falcons 2. This is definitely a glimpse into what
they were doing at EWC just some short time ago. Just over a minute left. Nobody's been able to find
anything yet. It's been all Falcons. Chop up by rebellion, finally find ourselves in the other end.
Up towards the backboard, nobody able to find a shot. Falcons are still giving them a look though.
There's some poor defensive touches coming out from the Falcons.
So the pop-up's off.
Oh, look at the speed.
LJ had to get there and kill us.
He's just going to launch it to the backboard.
Composure needed.
By Kofo, who fights one, fights two.
He's going to stay on ball again.
It's probably the angle where you grab the corner boost
because now you're isolating first killer with Drowley,
one of the best in the world.
The shot cover, Drowley is still there.
He pops to the back post.
First killer gets one, gets two,
Falcons are ready. Falcons are searching.
Oh, what a positional play from LJ.
It's still so close this game, 25 seconds.
Do we get a 4 over time? 20 on the clock now.
Rebellion, Boxing in their half.
Can they break out?
LJ, no opportunity to make the catch-in.
And the Falcons find the backboard here.
Killers gonna try and float it down with 8 on the clock.
And the Falcons find something
in the last-minute territory of regulation.
Three shots from Ruan, maybe make it four, and he will die!
It's just so clutched from Valkyries once again, the 50 off the corner, the bump on LJ.
Leaves first killer with two, Mike Tudu. There's one second, but it's probably 0.1.
Oh!
Probably the most intense pause we've ever seen
because there is a world where a team like Rebellion,
should they have that opportunity,
could play that perfect kickoff.
I mean, that's just disaster for rebellion. But every overtime, the end of regulation,
it's always rebellion on the defense, just looking for the ground, looking for zero and
looking to reset. Is it the tail end of each game? It's the Falcons pressing, looking for
that winner. Here we go off the pause. There's just no time. It has to be kept up.
the bottom has to be in the air to triple kickoff they went for the page and
it's so much
3-1
Triple match point
Rebellion are definitely going to be shaking their heads on this one
off the time out a
Rough response to what it looked like he's much more solid first half of the series for the rebellion
Definitely plenty of time to really sort things through out to this because you do have to keep in mind
the most
intense and important
Game five that rebellion has seen so far was against
former world champions in RG and they managed to pull it off
They're willing to go the long haul
But it's about finding the answer
all of these little things
that the Falcons do. You
mentioned the low scoring
games as well for Falcons. This
series. It's three to two one
two one one nil. Nearly had a
fourth overtime in a rifle.
What's it for magic? From
Charlie from the brothers.
as we're all expecting a fourth overtime inbound and he said oh no they're gonna
stop it right here. I definitely thought there was a world we were gonna get it
but instead we play on like a triple match point. New level of pressure added
into the craziness that has been this series. Dickey's arena let's shop
if our rebellion know that you are with them otherwise the Falcons could do it here.
You see Pufferettles down there in the crowd just getting Dickies arena going,
trying to get the support for rebellion but it's all Falcons!
Charlie!
When we talk about the Goat debate, another world champion this guy and he's probably
number one this is just ridiculous he is born for the biggest stage very early
go lead maybe make it to the big themselves out on this 15 seconds into it
though and it is the same story of not worse or rebellion here
pop up from LJ though I catch anybody following close but I know it's drawing
on the takeout. Dalton's just playing for the Interceptions.
It's looking so solid in defense now, they're really short up.
And I mentioned in that previous game the difference of rebellion,
they're not going to go for both, oh what a redirect attempt from killers.
They're just playing the ball and now we're seeing these awkward moments
in the corner for rebellion.
They're not able to get out.
They're not able to extend their formation.
They're not able to extend out the other end of the pitch.
They can't grab the 100 tanks required.
They're still trying to link up LJ, goes to the fake instead, and the bunker's well saved, just relaxes there.
A little defensive or offensive mistake.
Ooh, well, J had to get back with.
Top is being willing to play a much more physical game too, is terrifying.
They're one of the least aggressive teams here in the RLCS, drawl-y and center.
We're skilled and clear.
We're gonna train follow it up, the boost is stolen and the opportunity goes to the wayside.
Killers takes his time, he's got all the ego to do it.
What a 50.
Needed a big play here, needs another big play, touched by Kodra, that's two huge defensive plays for him.
A second goal would be disaster for Rebellion.
An elation for the Falcons.
Upfield now, Drowley to the skies, reset.
She's gonna take it down knows he doesn't have to boost it. It's looking for bumps look at his field of resources rebellion
You're in all kinds of trouble in this eyeball still finding the 50s required, but it's not looking like they can even get down the other end
Belly and are starting to look a little bit slower and like you said getting forced into those pockets of leaving possession
It's such a big red flag, but they're finally back on to the other side falcons in their defending
Slut, Ruaz takes the challenge on to FK, you know, it was almost
deemed successful, but Koper has something to say about it here.
This benches out into the middle and LJ do it.
LJ to the wall, Koper there, and now first killer guard,
love this aggression, they just got to put him on the back foot,
the pass down to Koper to the back foot.
LJ up and it's blocked again.
Nice balcony to now, just feel like there's six of them in defense.
Rebellion equally, they can test the back force,
the Tester shots really strongly to work it out amongst themselves they need to
link up like right here to a three-chopper but they're also in the
buckets his first killer who has been quiet since that second game
I haven't seen his best minute 50 this is it for them slinging some infields the
extra part to the back post
done it. A beautiful spot here. Staying up. It's the ego play that gets them through.
Rebellion. It has been quite some time since they've even had the time or the space to be able to stay on that end.
But Drolley going for the demo. That was so mad.
That's killer. She's going to take the pace out of this play off the demo.
The pop resets. It goes for LJ. Has to back off. He was getting dusted to that ball. It's a smart play.
Second touch there. Nick Falcons already on the quality of it.
Drowley was reducing but it was a big far back post. Here's Killers.
That corner for FK. Finding a teammate. Huge clear downfield.
Go for free jump. He gets a touch on it.
OleJ, when does he get in? Has Killers there?
We'll win the touch. Huge bounce up to Drowley with space.
First killer. Free jumping. Rourouas controlling.
How many times have we seen this? Gets the demo and he gets the two only.
extremely classic ball from play here off the ceiling they spot opportunity but
we lost leading the charge going for the demo and leaving that ball it is a
level of communication that rebellion I'm not seeing since the first two games
that was the same as that previous game that winner on one second zero seconds
pretty much it was LJ getting bumped it was a lady last man and now they're
motoring Charlie looking for the shot to pop to the backboard instead
First killer to the side. Clearance, Kofa is downfield. Kofa's looking for redirects.
There's always someone back this side. It's Killers. He's had a quieter game.
Got him in the derailleur awash. So this is trouble. This has been trouble.
LJ to the side. One more goal with Dorf for Falken. It's rebellion.
Have to find one in the final 30. First killer with the pop to the backboard.
Who's home? It's a win. Thorawash is there. So is FK. To the roof.
That's a passing cross, the fight!
20 seconds!
They have to sustain the pressure and they're back on the other end.
Mo Busto for all honor, rebellion, as they regain sources into the final 10.
This is it. This is it. This is it!
This is it!
It's the right man past mine!
It's Kozlo!
This is the 2LJ!
The one, two, three, four!
Nine seconds! Magic from rebellion!
Keeping themselves alive!
And you know Falcons on zero are a different team!
Five games, four overtime, and a zero second goal!
If you don't mind, have a drop!
Killers taking it's time in the one they won all of the Falcons!
Upfield waiting for the pressure of the boost steel has officially come through
Rebellion are trying to defend for their life by Rua
What a save from first killer this new low booster in a bit of trouble. That's a great play from Kofu with nothing in the tank
30 seconds gone in this overtime. And Ruaas is fucking ridiculous
First killer saved
Marcus in
All right, start, lead, and end with DiRaleigh, the player to lead the charge for the Falcons
at the beginning of the series and the performance that we have not seen discreet for them since
EWC.
They bring it to the stage here in Dickies Arena.
A top tier performance is what it required to be able to take down the best version
of Shopify Rebellion.
These two teams met at the start of the season
and it didn't look close.
They've met at the very last weekend
with four nearly five over times,
but it's still Falcons with the class.
They get the job done.
Rebellion put up an almighty fight.
Some of the best play we've seen from them.
But then you've just got a dryly on the other end.
He's fell as a champs for a reason, world champions for a reason, major champions for
the twins.
What a serious hurt coming.
The first N18 to go home, but they've lost no admirers there.
A typical challenge for the Falcons, but they do prevail and knock out one of North
America's greats.
And rightfully so, we're going to send it on over to the stage with the gunt
of the Falcons.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Falcons!
We expected that.
I think we expected that.
It is fun because of course, when there isn't an NA team on the other side, they cheer for you.
But right now, you're going up against North America across the board.
First off, congratulations on the win.
the win but secondly how do you feel about that North America is looking so
good even in that matchup? Well first of all thank you very happy about this one
and North America I'll be honest they've improved a lot I think their depth
is comparable to EU's at this point they really surprised me this year and
I'm very happy for North America I was born and I grew up here for more
than more than a decade so it's nice to see. It is nice to see. Now I gotta ask
about your journey here because obviously we knew you weren't feeling too
well coming into this but you've been able to walk in. What's the secret to
step onto the world stage and be under the weather and still be able to walk in
like what are you doing in there? That's magic. I don't know it's innate I
I guess it just comes naturally.
And also it helps having a very good team that
has my back at all times.
So yeah.
Let's talk about that, because those twins,
when they're out there on the field,
right up to those last moments there with that air
dribble, the finish, so clean.
It must give you so much confidence
to have these two with you at all times.
You just got to lock in and make sure
you don't make a mistake.
Because they do so much out there.
It's so cool.
Yeah, of course.
I know I can rely on them at all times.
I mean, the last goal, Royce just outplayed every single player on the field, including his teammates.
So, yeah, it's really awesome to play with him and Killers obviously has, he's also an insane player as well.
Well, again, congratulations on that win and I know you guys are upset about it.
Let's still make some noise for the winners, the Falcons!
The first North American team to exit the tournament is Shopify Rebellion in a top 6 finish, top 8 finish.
How many times you have me?
They put up a fight though, man.
They put a three overzealous in a row.
Seemed like the first couple of games
is a little bit of just one inch here or there
and rebellions up to maybe three, oh, at times.
But the Falcons just a bit too much of a roll-off.
What a series for him.
Whenever they needed a moment, he provided.
And he always does for them.
The Falcons didn't have the punch of power.
Couldn't finish off the shots.
In the game, they had 20 shots.
Falcons had 10.
They lost that game.
It has a 10-shot difference, you got to be able to put them away.
You let a team like that, they're just too great to just be hanging around.
Keep playing defense, it just wasn't enough.
How about the fight at the end, Drew?
I mean, the story has been writing itself the whole week.
NA is back, NA can't die here.
And then the big comeback, the goal with what, nine seconds left.
You thought, nah, you can't put them away that easy.
And then the Falcons still get the job done.
You heard from Drully.
Seven goals in that series more than any other duo in that series. He outscores
John McFarrebellion by himself
Massive step-up performance from Draleigh right here inside dick his arena again exactly. This is what he does to every single time
He's just definitely with the ball really. He doesn't need to do anything too flashy
He has option one of the best has some of the best mechanics in the world
Yeah, it doesn't need to be too nice with it is be effective
And that's exactly does every time such a ball and it's over in the green room James
Over time every game, not that much, Joby.
That would have another goal.
And I'm going to say this with focus.
Last thing.
It's just that they know how to get easier goals.
It's always like a bump or a demo.
I'm feeling it was just missing that.
Yeah, Rolos there though, in game three.
He had a big moment to win the game.
Then that game four with the pass into the bump play.
So Rolos, when they really needed him,
he was playing phenomenally.
I would say he's probably the front runner right now
to be able to get his whole tournament.
Yeah, makes sense to him.
He hasn't fallen out.
SSG series, we had that sidewall skim even there big dribble bump easy goal
Rebellion for everything they had again that passes well the four-man play back back back once again another bummer while I say
Yeah, all fall rally dispensers of home. He gets seven goals or watch this that in the month
That looks about it looks about correct to me. I have to take it take a breath
Another series would office demos apparently are irrelevant. I don't play
But we see rebellion though a lot of offensive pressure. It is just about you have to capitalize on the balance
They're the one where it hit the crossbar twice didn't go in. It's just you know
It's a game of bitches and this time Falcons were just slightly better
It is it is absolutely a game or the smallest decisions make the biggest differences
And I'm curious to see if that's true in the plays James has to break down for us from that match James
Would you see out there?
Actually just picks up right after that crossbar hit from first killer
We won't get to see it. I don't have all the time in the world game, so I apologize for that.
But what it does do is it showcases phenomenal third-man play from Rawas as well as a perfect challenge from Draug.
Let's just get into this one.
So you see the ball on the side wall.
Kofa is going to get a shot opportunity. He's going to send this towards Net and look at this touch.
Rawas doesn't have a lot of boost. He knows Draugly's heading towards the corner.
He wants to set him up. Perfect skim over to the corner, trying to set up Draugly for a play.
The boost does spawn just in time for drawing,
but he decides to turn off the play.
But this is so smart from Roas.
He's going, taking space, pretending
like he's going to hit this ball up.
He makes the defense give him space
and watch what he does with that.
He fakes it out for his brother to come in and now move
this ball up field.
That is so smart from Roas.
He didn't rotate back, didn't play,
scared with that low boost.
He took space for his team.
And now, killer's going to take this airborne.
He's going to start an attack.
You can see the pressure to that rebellion
starting to get under.
But this is where the play gets a little bit sticky.
Drawley is trying to read this Kofor hit over to the side.
And a lot of times, you know, you try to get there
and take it up the side wall.
Drawley pitches it up off the wall,
which is going to make this very difficult for Roas.
Fortunately, for team Valkyrie,
you can see Kofor actually runs into Drawley a little bit,
which messes up his takeoff and actually makes this
a little bit easier for Roas to handle.
Look how close this call is.
Kofor couldn't get back to the ball,
but he's going to lock in and try to go for the demo on Ross,
because he knows how dangerous Roass is.
And he is very close to landing this demo.
And then also, LJ coming in for the 50 Roass also sees him
and lands the demo on LJ while also getting the ball up
field.
So now, pressure on First Killer,
both his teammates committed for that.
And this is the perfect challenge
that I'm talking about with Drolley.
First killer has a ball on the sidewall.
He's got full boost.
Usually, this is a nightmare for a team to handle.
Drolley closes that solo play option
with an early jump off the sidewall.
First killer reads it, though,
and he's going to try to keep this ball as close as possible.
But look at how Drolley plays this.
He's boosting back towards ball,
boosting back towards ball.
And then at the last second,
he uses his flip to get a touch on the ball.
Barely a touch, but it's going to be enough
for Roas to see this passing lane open up.
So Roas sees Drawley upfield.
We've all been in this situation.
Your teammates upfield,
you know you just gotta hit them on the numbers.
Roas does just that.
And Drawley has been amazing all tournament lawn.
He blasts this ball home.
And that was the OT game winner, game one.
And just a glimpse of how good Roas is as last back.
Exactly. And honestly, yeah,
really great play by Roas,
but I love that Drawley challenge
you brought up right there, James,
because most people,
And if you do that, it'll rank not in the RLCS.
Think about bad challenge, because you're not
going to send anybody up.
But right there, cover the whole entire midfield.
Take that away.
If first killer gets by you, you might be in trouble.
So it was very important.
Exactly.
James, thanks so much for the breakdown.
We'll see you again later on today.
And what a incredible, the engine we were talking about,
it's just a game of pixels.
If Kofor gets the demo there, it changes everything.
Yeah, and also when Drolly lands after that pinch,
and then Kofor's ran into him,
so he couldn't aerial off the wall
and apply that pressure again.
The smallest margins, but you have to adapt when those
plays happen.
Falcons are so good at that.
Falcons have made it through the bottom side of our bracket,
and now we must move to the top.
We have reached the end of elimination matches.
It's time to take care of those upper brackets.
Some teams up there have yet to lose in this tournament,
and they'll be taking the stage here in just a moment.
Carmencourt versus Curtis Pro coming up
after the break all of our teams locked in.
And again, that 2v2 World Championship coming up
at the end of the day.
Yeah, I hope that and that, Joe.
We're watching that nice breakdown by James.
That's what you got to look forward to later on today.
We'll see.
We'll see if they can get it done.
Folks, we're going to take a quick one.
When we come back, the Rocket League World Championship
continues with Virtus.
Broke taking on Carmen.
Don't worry.
Okay, it's a bummer, it fits in that bird's pipe, it should be all set.
and protect the 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about this.
Maybe something like, a half-protection just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try a Tuesday's a cray.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless with that affirmation, am I right?
I
I
I
I
I
I
milk can help you grow milk can't stop your monsters dream of being a nail
Oh! Holy!
I wrote that.
Whoa!
That's a man!
Oh, there he is!
That is beautiful stuff from LJ.
Rocket League eSports with Alan Gontes.
Oh, there he is!
That is beautiful stuff from LJ.
It's just, I feel numb to have this point.
Trying to shake two peas.
But two peas shakes him.
So, what do you think?
And here's such a thing.
Yes, there it is!
Jason speeds up the thing,
and he will seize the day.
This is Rocket League!
I just don't care if I'm lost, we need to be on time
It's only time now, we keep on going down
We need to get out, it's just me and I
The fight has started
The action continues and we move to the upper bracket at the Rock League World Championship
for 2026.
Four teams left here with two lives.
We're gonna find out are they one match away from Grand Finals or two.
It's a big, it's a big gift.
A big, I guess a big honor, a big earned gift to us in your group.
Yes.
What is the word I'm looking for here?
is an earned thing that you crafted with your own hands.
You get this opportunity.
Yeah, both these teams obviously let their groups,
but now only one of them gets to move to top four.
The other one will then be on their last leg.
But obviously, both teams will be.
Just one will get a little by.
Leads to that top four run.
Yeah, the North American versus North America
coming up a little bit later on.
NRG defending their title in front of the crowd
at a world championship for the first time this tournament.
They hope against footy sports and Justin.
But that's coming up a little bit later on.
It's coming up a little bit later on first time.
North American team will be able to defend their crown on home soil since I guess technically energy in a way
But I'm not more so cloud nine. I'll count down a little bit more. Sure. It was a little more real
Absolutely. Yeah, we do have by the way that the blue wall is a part of the carmen core roster
Is that their fan base here? Yeah, they're they're in huge numbers when they are in France
But here in the States we do have a small
Fans here as a solid so they are like
They are loud. They are loud. They are loud. They've already been very noisy. So shout out to the Blue Royal contingent that has managed to make it all the way to beautiful world.
Blue Royal science. They've been waiting patiently and respectfully for their team to take to the stage.
And they should be really patiently calling for them. I mean talking about the matches and matching them in particular.
Call my coach. He came out of a group of devs over the first day. That's the JB Falcons on and out.
They are the first, they're the first, the other group and the blue wall, here's your award.
to be able to do that.
This arena is not putting in
favor of them entirely, but
they have been in places like
this before they have excelled
in places like this before
and that's kind of astute. I
like to see as well. Juicy and
Ato particular thumbs down
so you want. We are happy to
exist on this stage, even if
you want us to fail. And this
But they didn't get blessed by the group stage.
They got the group of death, but they did not care.
They still advance as your number one team out.
I mean, you expected them to.
I mean, Falcons came in last match and like, okay, they're a dangerous squad.
But Carmine for organization, the team, but here on it is filled like the big backpillars.
It felt like they won and he's not faced at all.
He's won so many times.
He does just his vagues.
He knows that he's here to play for the World Championship.
This is one he wants to get.
Having K-Corp, they battled in that group death.
Juicy honestly one of the best players in the whole stage looks fantastic which led k-corp to that nine and four record
I was really really impressed with GC and I did away that a lot of these players and started to bounce back off the disappointing regionals
Oh, but if I had other events, I've been very very impressed with what Jesus was about. I mean we play like that
They're hard to beat but here was on the car mean core when they won in San Diego in front of a toxic North American crowd
he's done it before, will he be able to do it again here against the Cinderella story of North America?
We watched the Virtus Pro walk out here on the stage a little bit more closely than the
other teams because for all of them, this is their first time playing in front of a
crowd like this and we already see Wavy waving to the crowd which is built into the name
What he's going to do.
It's going to be in front of Brockton's first space.
You want to talk about Flare who's ready to play for the crowd.
Wavy is him.
He's not playing around.
I know he's ready for this moment.
He's fighting for all the hours to get here.
And then two fees, the man in the middle.
They're defense of Star Wars.
He kept them afloat over there in Group B.
He kept them alive all the way to taking them up one feed.
This is just such a great moment for all three of these guys.
Never playing in front of the ROCS crowd before.
Obviously, there's going to be a lot of nerves,
but you got to take it all in.
enjoy this moment. There's only two on B teams and groups. It's K-Corp on the other side, and it's VP.
And VP is the hottest team out of the group stage. Number one defense. They give up less than a goal per game.
They're also the number two offense in the entire tournament.
Oh my, and number two offense gives because of that young man right there.
Tolts not playing in a 4-65 for a game. 1.05 goals for a game, but he's the Tolts goes on.
They're hard to stop.
Man, but these guys are both undefeated, but it's David versus Goliath into the experience.
So obviously, K-Corp has all the experience of the world.
And literally, BPS0, playing in front of a crowd.
So let's see how it goes.
And this is one of those run stumpy, where
you see the team popping off in a lane,
and you're going, oh, wait, maybe they're finally here.
Maybe, you know what?
Actually, I feel really comfortable with this team.
They look really good.
I'm excited to know, predict them.
And then you realize that the next match,
well, there's new reasons in this match
why I still don't think they've got it.
And being on the stage in front of defending Paris
major champions, Carmencourt, feels like a pretty big reason.
Yeah, and also, Caroline Vitira,
with the joint LAN record. Seven Lans to the end, tied only with Turbo Pulsar. These are
the arenas on which he has cast his name in the annals of history. These guys are here.
There, that's the first time they've been able to do it, but they've all had their
time in the Sun Gifts, and it's incredible to watch them all actually form together.
Yes, but Vatira has a large trophy case, but there is one glaring weak spot and that is
World Championship trophies. Never even made the grand finals before. He's trying to do
that for the first time here. Yes, he's won literally everything else except for the World
thing is good to say he's not one world finals he does consistently get to at
least top four but would put them into the top four so VP as I say David
vs. Goliath but ultimately Goliath didn't win that one that's true I mean
you bring up he has a chance to make top four in his match well also he has
extra life so that's gonna be Lucy's he still has the chance to top four
stop it doesn't mean doesn't go the only thing top four is gonna get this
one done but here's another advantage for K-Corp we talked about that group
with death. Well, two teams are already playing tomorrow, both from group A with them Falcons
and space station game and group D where Vertus pro tops, they have vitality and mates. Both
those teams are out of the tournament. So you could really say group T might have been
more of a beneficial group for VP. So now they got to earn it here versus Gagarin.
Jeff, let us know who you think is going to win between Vertus pro and Carmen core.
Do they win their inaugural match on the stage, or do the blue wall stand strong?
Yep, again, let us know in the progressive fanbook. Stumpy.
Alright. What do you got?
I might be wearing a red coloured suit.
And I might be in Vicky's Arena, which is one of red-flugged Americans.
Okay.
But there is, unfortunately, only one colour.
And it's the colour of the team, of which I have picked since the start.
Another gentleman throughout, be rude not to.
calming call for me the number one team still left in this tournament the only one who are here
Now I think they're gonna be able to take down the scourge of gold America
Okay, you do know friends people have red blood as well. Whoops
Yeah, so sometimes it's good to have no experience because you just are too naive to realize how big of a moment
This is and VP has a chance here to do the impossible
But they're not going to do it here. K-Karp is obviously going to win this match. It's going to be easy. It's going to be a K-K-K-Ball.
What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What are you guys?
I said yesterday that I would pick furthest pro until they lost the tournament.
This was two days ago, if they won their group.
But I said that because I thought they weren't going to win the group.
But I didn't think they were going to play against Carmin-Korn in the first match. I can't do it. Of course, it's Carmin-Korn. It has to be Carmin-Korn.
We didn't have space in the skull for you, like, I can't reach over there anyway.
I say, don't worry. Don't worry. I'll help you out, Wade.
Don't help me out? I'll help you out. I'll help you out.
Also, definitely not gonna pick me if you're right here.
I gotta go blue wall as well.
Hey, Steve's gonna come out victorious, of course, at least.
We don't want it. We don't want them to win.
But they're going up against Mathira.
No, we don't. Well, except for some.
Yeah, no, we don't.
I mean, I do kind of want for tier 2 World Championship.
I mean, come on. What a story it would be.
Come on, Colin. You gotta have her back.
Let's go!
This guy, this guy, this guy, this guy in the air.
Can it happen?
Right here, right?
Could it happen?
Here's the thing, Wavey looks strong in a way.
He looks, he looks comfortable on stage.
And that genuinely scares me for Carming Corps.
It's, it really comes out to those nerves.
I really want to see how VP comes out.
But the hottest team through the groups,
but they got to show it in front of the crowd.
Can they do it?
Carming Corps, narrow favorites in chat.
That shows you how much support
these North American players have earned in.
This was one of the most popular teams
at the beginning of the season.
And they've stayed that way.
And those fans have come right back,
excited to cheer them on.
Now that they are winning again,
Blue Wall's going to be here making noise.
You know the rest of the arena is going to try and match them
as well, folks.
Let's get into it, folks.
Two winners' matches left to go here.
I'm excited for it.
Rocket League fans around the world.
It's time for winners.
There's only two teams left in this tournament
who have yet to lose.
They clash head-to-head right here.
The pre-season hopefuls peeking at exactly the right moment.
But can they continue against the final boss of the age?
The unbeaten teams enter.
None must lose.
Dayton versus Goliath.
This is a world premiere.
First broke versus coming fourth.
OK, get the legend up.
The challenge has never been higher.
For the crowd, from crashing football to up the bracket contenders.
But Johnny Boyz begins to get one broken, unprogressive.
They are taking on the Paris Major champion.
And Vati has one trophy left to win.
Everybody's wondering what kind of case is here we're going to get.
We're going to get the Paris major version or we're going to get the e-sports World Cup version unfortunately forever than else
They're looking like the Paris pageant for Dominic over the group of days
Space station of Vulcans have continued to charge through the watercraft it
That's the two teams KCB to be in the office
Really this up to a famous
Seattle pulling up pressure on
Versus pro they need to get momentum and we need to never let go of it
That's so he's got too much to look forward to later on.
Then spent his entire day waiting.
He's off back into that lobby for Twins as well.
Lovey watching.
He's hoping that Verzir's broken up with confidence.
How do you even do that as he is now onto the ball?
Talk straight into the path of Verzir!
Oh!
Oh, not done very well, too, and this has now done a problem.
Choose he's failed him out.
I like it.
Verzir has looked it for the past two to see there.
You know, they've got to trust each other, KC.
When they have struggled this season,
it's been an inability to finish off,
Johnson's ability to divert pressure into chances.
And a lack of trust, especially in that final third
double-combat, getting each other's way.
That's for VP.
They're going to need a monumental performance out of talk.
Two-piece and wavy have been phenomenal.
I've been so impressed with this old team at top.
The start player has to be big for them.
That's the big shape of the touch up.
The left-hook shot, which was a little bit surprising
This man wasn't really willing to go and meet him.
Two-piece, two-far behind.
How juicy.
Gonna try and take out the play here.
The KC special, expect to see an awful lot of that
from this team.
Asato crushes the first challenge.
Can't do anything else with it, so opening 90 seconds,
pretty even for both teams.
Well, KC looks so confident walking out,
but Tira in particular looked like
he didn't have a nervous phone on his body.
And so he keeps the pressure on here.
In game one, it's been majority KC pressure.
VP have had a couple of half chances, but this is what KC did.
They put teams in the back corner, and they keep them there.
Interesting to note that VP, in all the games that they won
in the group stage, they didn't get a goal scored on them.
So if they are going to win,
this tree would say it's going to be a clean sheet.
I infield from 2P.
There's that many boosts.
2P's a bit of a theme right now for VP.
2P's running gets 100, maybe just doing it.
We're trying to utilize that to get a win!
But they're a bounce into the ball after a certain challenge.
I'm a bit unlucky to see that.
Yeah, it's a good idea bumping the defender right the way,
but the defender got a bit of recoil onto Mithy over there.
He's just made another pass across the net.
Talked, guided, inside the near post to stay safe from that one.
All VP for all KC pressure, I should say.
And VP surviving.
It's a big chance. KC decided to put in the back for a juicy.
But I'm a bit too high though.
By the way, it's sort of clear the ball away from Atoll.
A shot through for a bit of a breaking room.
Maybe it doesn't pick up the 100 or it doesn't get the reset, should say.
Touched it to play, huh?
That was a nice little fray.
A little bit of a glimpse of the blue side of the field.
We don't get much ball away.
Oh!
He's jinxed it!
It's just been constant.
Ever since the first minute, it feels like KC have had their way with VP.
They get them boxed in here, and this is what KC'd want to be doing.
is what they've been practising.
Ever since Moitira and Ato teamed up,
doesn't matter who you put in the team with them,
they will put you in defense.
They played with Duralli, they played with Ryze,
they played with Zen and Juicy.
They just know how to get pressure.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
They're a tough guy there.
I'm actually pretty surprised in case they weren't ready
to do something with this man.
Look at Moitira now.
He's backwards.
He did not think Doc's gonna go across to go with that.
It looks to be like he's expecting talk to...
He may be trying to go double tap.
Set up his position of his car.
Just to get to hook himself back up onto the back lawns.
Now they're going to kick off play for Clarence.
He may have also thought he had backup coming in at the back
post, but we could see there wasn't any.
Definitely none.
That's a great chance taken by VP, the real underdogs
of the day in their upper bracket matchup.
Trying to get another upset win.
They've already had two of them.
they see will know just like everybody else.
Every single winner in this format
has come from the upper bracket
and won their upper bracket semi-final match.
So history often repeats itself,
that will be championships.
Gotta be winning this, if you're gonna be favorite.
And again, that's protocol.
A few people wouldn't even expect them
to make it out of play-ins.
They're one of those French teams.
I mean, not anymore,
Speaking at the right time, the world championship,
Matira takes the shot.
Oh, that's a good save, though.
Makes it hard to follow up for KC.
Not as possible, though.
I do like that first throw.
I'm not crowding behind the ball there.
Giving themselves passing options.
Maybe a chance to create something from this.
Wavy slows it up, wears the support.
Didn't quite get that way over to Tor.
Oh, missed there by Juicy.
Followed up quickly.
Wavy and Tupi still have no shots for either of them.
KC have got a punch between them.
Well obviously, top shot shot, he's ready to go.
I don't know, he's got two shots, so there's two shots for VP.
Oh!
Still unable to get the lead though, to spite the fact that they've had far more chances.
Tira, the fake positioning looking a little bit suspect at times.
Yeah, backwards again, that's the second time this game.
Juicy on the way.
Heavy on his first touch, at a reset was game, can do anything with it.
Juicy's to back away Juicy on the time.
Orchira was looking. Couldn't quite get it. Ato tried to infield, but the invisible man is not on their team.
Last chance here for Casey to take it in regulation.
And it doesn't drop down nicely for Ato.
Another chance Ato, Ato reset over one.
Jussi's there, Wavy beats in turn, but Casey are gonna keep pressing in the 0-second sequence.
Orchira, it failed! And we have overtime!
VP even up against it almost the entire game and they've made it into overtime.
It's a straightaway back of defense though.
They just can't consistently get out of this half of the pitch.
What do you get the feeling if they are going to win, it's going to look something like games like this?
Good save. 15 seconds point of this overtime, mate.
Stick in hits.
Maybe try to control it.
It's going to be dangerous.
They're doing fine KCN.
Opportunity pops out.
It goes two-pieces just too far back.
VP will have to pull the trigger at some point because they're against QC.
Can't get a double. Now Ato, back foot, drops down, but tear away.
Look at the defensive spread from VP there taking Sarin's block in KC.
High on the back for it. Ato being forced to go really high with a double top there.
That's great defensive positioning by VP forcing him all the way up there.
This is admirable from them. If they can get a win, they will make KC doubt in their abilities to get goals.
But I'm really struggling to break this down. Maybe it's a bit of magic. Two players first!
Oh, and it stops!
Another save from VP. They're piling up the points here.
See if you get any more points and shots, and they're getting a ridiculous start to the end of this.
Back forward. Good pace from Virtus.pro.
Cutting rotation, but look how far back that defensive line is.
Lovely challenge. Set-up mostly but sort of falls to Tebo. Has support.
Can they get that one out of the two pieces of his weight?
Wavy, all the way back, picking up the 100.
Oh, right down the first.
But Tira should be first, but he is shabby.
It's a good idea by Wavy.
And here come Casey again.
Hats over the reset.
Into the backport.
Wide open for Tira.
I felt like it was coming.
Casey, state discipline.
The entire game.
They had the offensive pressure.
Keep me looking for tender attacking chances.
KC gave them nothing.
We saw on the Warfowl Johnny just how locked in KCR on this event.
More play. That city farm is the best they've ever done.
Win this and you are already into that position.
For first pro, I think that's a little bit of a sign of okay.
The level is going to have to come up because KC's level is not going to go down.
They always put themselves in the mix, you know.
Vittiras been criticized, I guess, over the years.
He's been criticized over the years to, you know,
have so many third places on his record.
But everybody knows that if you can make it
to Chap Sunday overall championship,
you're one of the contenders.
Everybody's got a chance to win.
And Vittiras always in the mix.
He's always there, always looking just a bit
as a step off the base.
He's been fifth place, third, third, and third.
That's the most consistent world championship record of anyone in the open era and it looks like they're ready to go for another top four of themselves
Keep it to chap Sunday
That's from you had a whole
Five minutes plus seen from them what needs to change going into the next game because if they do
Release this defensive hold that they've got that doesn't fix everything. It opens the game up and that might actually help KC out
The issue is that KC played such a flawless offensive pressure, high up the field.
VP didn't have that many opportunities, but VP will obviously have to be clinical.
It seems like they're going to be outshot in every game, or at least most games in the series.
Clinical finishing is a must.
In terms of getting out of defense, oh, be careful to start this game, which they are.
But I want to see more dribbling out of defense from them.
I want to see more defensive 50-50s forced.
A lot of soft clears that game, a lot of saves.
We're getting picked up by KC players.
Juicy already on his way to talk in the air, and it is open.
Virtus.pro plays for the wing.
And unfortunately for them, Juicy too strong.
The X-Quray challenge by Juicy.
Perfect timing.
As soon as Torque is looking for the reset,
Juicy made his move, and he just went straight for the ball.
That's what KC will do with their leading challenge
in the offensive map.
They will almost always play the ball.
They've got other players behind, ready to pick up the ball if the first player gets their play.
One down already, versus Pro, gonna have to open up their gameplay here.
Claw, after a couple of bumper attempts.
Casey have not looked flawless defensively to this point,
but they haven't had to play much defense to really worry about it.
Tira caught out of position on a few occasions.
Preacher from Wave, he's behind him, hard to make anything from that.
Two-piece, takes over. Look, he's trying to pitch this midfield.
That play is always really easy to reach for the fender.
Yeah, interesting to see the pre-jump in that position.
Oh, the way these missed as far as touch here does get cleaned up by talk.
It wasn't necessary. I think it's more of an idea.
They're just saying, let's be more aggressive.
Let's take more rest because we're just getting pressured here.
We've got to do something.
We don't want to wait and see if KC are going to make mistakes.
Let's go try and play our game.
So it's all a game, it's a game C game.
Only one, it's a game C and game two as well.
And now the mistakes are starting to come through and deep breaths to a very strong...
Yeah, Wavy first touch left that far too open and Torx is completely whipped in.
It's a breathe, but you've got to hit it.
We are at that level now.
Well, because it was difficult, doesn't mean you're not supposed to get it.
You want to hold the championship, you've got to be perfect.
At least on his way.
Just get clattered into
Working out right now that's broke spite lots of signs in our opening five minutes
Maybe he gets something that's how just I don't never place the ball anymore
He is always out of the edge of a player. Yeah, they're always just going for the
The player going for the ball is gonna be just making sure they get something to force
The outplay so can freeze to get outplayed as long as you've got a teammate behind you
The challenges are being layered effectively.
With KC, they always are. That's something you can rely on.
Like you said, the defense hasn't looked completely on point.
They're all criticized, but I do wonder.
Did KC practice any defense?
Does every scrim just have them in offense for five minutes?
Every single game?
Right now, they are in exactly that position.
That's our way.
They've got some nicely, but the boost isn't good for Lamey.
The launch is strong.
back into Casey, and they are just laying the ball off to each other.
Fancy stuff right now for the Paris Major Champion.
Talks downfield, he's not going to have any boost to try and challenge this one.
And Casey are outpacing them all over the field.
Oh, they're starting to read each other so well.
It's a frightening sight for the rest of the rugby league world,
not just North America, but also the Falcons,
who have already lost to Casey in the group stage.
Yes, it's only Saturday, but this is
Some of the best we've seen KC play.
Tierra on the way. Double commit.
But nobody has time to recover that one.
Right now, Virtus.Pro have got no answers to the puzzle that is coming through.
Chewsea trying to make it through for Tierra and Loidus.
But I do like by the way the case for Wilde, that they just stick around out of delays to try and drop it to a teammate.
It's way too long for my taste, but it's just way back to where do you even go?
Yeah, the dangerous thing for VP is that KCR aren't even playing at their top gear here.
They're just going through the motions.
This for them is gameplay with the gears left in the back if you need it,
but the regular gameplay is just keeping VP completely stuck in defense.
It's creating threats consistently, and we've already seen a couple of small mistakes in defense.
KCE put both away.
That's just the issue they had at East Coast World Cup.
They didn't finish those chances, particularly against Valkyries in the semi-final where they got swept.
They still had so many shots, it wasn't the midfield play that was the problem.
It was a finishing touch. Now they seem like they've fixed that.
That's up against the 50, that's just slightly wide, but they won't want to see too many or more of those.
50 seconds versus Pro running out of time.
They've run out of opportunities, that was the best that they've actually done to this point.
And it was coming off of 50. Back out, Ato's not going to turn.
Just waits for the ball to come to him. Notice that Juicy wants it.
Stealing reset. No one's around. KC are.
But you can expect to see them be a little bit more willing to lunge forward in future matches for the two goal leads.
Wasn't happy to play this one out. Lucky for the demos. Sidewall! Juicy saved.
But it's still 2-0 and Johnny, if you were to ask which team is the one chasing the lead, we'd think it's KC.
Yeah, KC are doing what they do, they're completely crushed for those confidence
And they've further renailed out for fun
This has got to be a timeout if I've ever seen one
DB are getting completely outclassed
They're saying on the desk that maybe a lack of experience, that naivety
Can you play him and help you in situations like this
That's just pro are not naive anymore. They know what the whole world knows.
Carming for all your team to be finished. They're gonna get one.
They're gonna need a lot more than that though to win this series.
Yeah, I do agree with the desk. I think the naivety can help out.
It's more inoffensive, in my opinion.
It's just sort of naivety that makes you think,
Why can't I hit a triple flip reset in Carming?
can't I make a big playwork? That's the sort of plays that can work better with that lack of experience,
but it's not the same story in defense. I really don't think the lack of experience for VP
is going to help them in any way when they're just being put on defense for five minutes,
when they're having to make save after save. Okay, so you're just completely pressuring
them back. It's not easy to do this, as we all know. VP, big vitality. They beat
Gentleman's in the group stage. They went undefeated crushing wild card as well
Now they're gonna get starting part of a team who's a playing their game at world-class level
It just looks like VP's game plan is not gonna work out. They're gonna call time out and try and fix this but
This is mission impossible
Obviously mean you've had the joy of being backstage and talking to so many of the North American talent as well
And there just seems to be one feed that keeps coming up.
Yes, we're doing great.
Yes, oh my God.
All of our teams are right there.
And then the follow-up set, this is,
but I remember season seven.
Yeah.
And KC, I would argue, are in a stronger position
than Vitality were in season seven.
I agree.
And you know, they don't have a loss in their record.
Vitality season seven lost in the group stage.
They were able to step up in the playoffs
and win quarter-finals, semi-finals, grand finals convincingly.
This is a KC team who already beat Falcons.
They already beat Space Station Gaming,
in my opinion, the best team in North America at the moment.
So this is the problem.
NA's got all the teams, the Haddler teams,
rest of them be Shopify.
Great performance to be honest, but it wasn't meant to be.
I could have gone out of Hawaii.
They get out KC and Falcons, for me,
look like the two best teams in the tournament.
So the good news is, for North America, if KC do win,
Falcons are in a collision course with KC in the Stevy Finals.
Yes.
So you don't have to beat both of them.
And if it's ever going to happen,
I think the Grand Final would be the best place to do it.
Well, that's almost the best news actually here as well.
If KC do win this, we are guaranteed at least one
North American team in the Grand Final.
So that's where the good news maybe starts and ends.
The bad news is, we might potentially
go and meet you over there.
The Vuts Pro, their timeout is done.
The answers are locked in.
Find out whether or not it is good enough to have anything for KC.
In game one, they were hanging on.
In game two, they were blown away.
Game three, what have they got?
Want to see more aggression here?
Want to see the constant rotation of Guts, right?
Surprise Karmacorp with interceptions.
Alright, it's immediately KC back in attack, they pick up where they left off, hold on a sec, they'll counter attack, two-piece, that's one shot to the target, no go.
I stick around with it for now, Katera, 14 boost in a dream, and he's trying to get down with that teammate.
He's leaping around his after over in the corner, after so good at just leaving options for himself, juicy to bit too far, what are you still to cover it?
At the level of the moment, he gets the challenge two-piece.
See how much you need.
Look, the batch is on.
Take the play, it's here along as well.
And look at how well he changes.
It's not a little bit like a 50 the whole way forward.
That's what KC have done so well, in my opinion,
is when VP are challenging high,
when they're up in the backboard,
forcing KC to go over them.
KC say, that's fine, let's just go that way then.
If it avoids it.
But when the mind game is on, when the 50 is on,
When the reset and the outplay is on, they're going towards that as well.
They're picking the right outplay for the defense that they've been given them.
Zera can't get through it.
Oh, there's a way that Charlotte has two pins!
And he comes over through the blind spot!
Casey had no idea that talk was over there!
It's not the way I feel, but he catches Casey out of position.
Third man, Bump, open net, one nil, and that's that kind of surprise that they need to take out.
They don't just need to rely on Bumps in the rotation back, but it's those kind of surprising challenges.
From angles, KC don't see you coming, because KC have a very high defensive line.
All it takes is one Bump, all it takes is one interception, and you could be through a goal.
Two pinks, I'm going to try and get this towards the backboard.
Four from the turn, no shooting angle available, might be able to get juicy almost.
Well, seems like VP are looking for the punch in the devil.
What's the point of that?
Hold on.
Starts to look just a little bit better.
Slot from two-piece to now.
Alright, let me tell you about it.
Memory's gripped up something special upon it.
Already a completely different look,
and we get a lot of bit more of this.
And hopefully, starting to come through,
I'm sure the crowd will get behind them.
We already saw Wavy Trader giving them some of their tier of vote on the walkout.
Now they have some of their tier of vote in the game as well.
There's demo attempts.
We're eating havoc onto KC.
Now that's your goalie. They've got to hold on to it.
BP, reverse sweep in this. I don't think anyone would expect it.
This game is a must win for them.
Metira almost got the second touch. Juicy, Claire.
Metira wants to play her.
Step up that water, full atone, who made it?
Muffatera just a missed communication.
Yeah, somebody's gonna take a shot. We can't help making it.
BP should be fine here.
They've actually got a boost advantage in defense.
So, KC have to back down.
Not for too long though, that'll send us back over head.
BP, I've got to get out of here. We've seen time and time again
that KC fighting ways through. They do create chances.
Bp have escaped for now. Yeah, the first time there's a great amount of furniture for a pass
I caught juicy
Trying to take this as far as we possibly can
Auto also going on. I don't mind that actually we're still one mistake earlier on
So a little bit of heat check for the gold
Oh, my God!
Time goes huge!
Look at him beat!
He reached it over to everybody, they weren't even close!
Set one, set two, set all of ya!
Still goes fast!
And Virtus.Pro are storming in game three!
Okay!
Okay!
Just a little bit of a return to her.
The bar guys are back again.
That's such a smart play by Mathira.
To pick out the bass in the middle of Nato
and slowly down the shot as well.
Not what the defender expected.
This being a VP goal that they've conceded,
they go against them there.
It's that they have a clean sheet in every wing.
So two minutes left.
They've got some work to do.
Oh, they've got another problem today, Alif.
Two seconds.
Can't get a fast shot, so it's not going to something about.
Oh my goodness, Stalk's doing everything at the moment.
Atto to Laze, leaves him for Juicy.
They're gonna try to find some more bombs, though instead Juicy's gonna try to go the whole way by himself.
Min and a half here, two goals to hold on.
And to put VP on the boards, as Stalk's going to try and go again for Teara.
They just gized the ball back into the corner, and now they're trying to escape.
Wavy should be just fine to leave after his teammate.
I like the fastback from top
Maybe trying to get behind it. It's been done through by the zero misleaved dash by top
But two-piece hasn't covered another demo appeal for wavy
The reason I thought fast enough jazz denied to see just got back the case
You've got to do something like these demos and keep getting caught out waiting for the bulls to come to them
One minute to go leave wavy fuck awkward for children to get more of it juicy
They still got no one there!
They're not in the same page again, but they've still got offensive pressure.
Moose advantage to KC as well, but it's going side to side.
Now it lines the way these cars, he's going to take it all away.
Look again, there was another player in the backfield looking for more demos.
Even with this lead, VP refused to change.
It's a smart strategy as well, against an aggressive KC.
But you've got to find this one.
Oh!
They've come again, but Teal out of right a bit too early.
And it was told yet again!
He is having an unbelievable game free!
He's going to need more of it!
And he's more than willing to revive Ato!
Still waiting! Drops it for the Tira!
Who cannot get there before the orange car comes to meet him!
VP are almost there.
You almost got a game.
Just one more defensive play, and it should be theirs.
And here comes Juicy. Ato is back to the Tira,
but once more, KC are arriving on time.
And VP will win one.
So whatever memory set was magical that was a completely different team to the one that
was waiting for KC to make a mistake.
Okay, your third man's not even in that position, what if we just don't let you have a third
man anymore?
It's a strategy we're going to see more this season where teams aren't rushing back
If you're out the game if you're on the total wrong side of the pitch like talk was here in the lead up to two-piece goal
It's not like you getting back one second faster. It's gonna help save that. It's currently happening
You know sometimes taking your time getting back and getting above getting an interception
Coming back at a surprising angle, and maybe even just a boost seal in the field back
Can completely swing a play in your favor get your team a goal on the counter
but more importantly it shows trust and I think they're just not rushing back
pointlessly like they were in the first few games, riding the net making saves,
hanging on. Now they're spending a little bit more and once again we have got a real series in our hands.
The crowd very much letting them know who they want to win.
Loser of this one takes on SSG.
A match of that would be.
We go which way?
We're going into game number four.
The stakes are still high.
Virtus.Pro, you've done it once.
Can you do it again?
Wave is going to start us off.
Can he find a pass?
No, he can't.
Team mates already on their way back.
For me though,
Torque cannot let that level go.
Whatever he has found, keep it.
Yeah, like I said, a game one, they're going to need him to be the best version of himself.
He's been the player that's completely changed their fortunes.
Winked for the last season, Atoll has put it on the goalie for Juicy though.
There's no stopping him on that one.
Just caressed him all past two-piece.
Top got demoed, two-piece completely alone.
Newly had to make a save.
Kunda.
You know, they got demoed from Buceric.
He's made that play so much easier for KC.
Two-piece really wants a challenge from his teammate.
That teammate's not on the field.
I do like these passing players though from VP.
This is the big thing.
I think they've changed.
They're not just trying to hit the ball away.
Pass it to somebody who can get a little bit more volley onto the shot.
Gotta try to slow this guy down.
That's it.
But here is a time coming into the new year.
It's not looked at as favorably as it is today.
Oh, and right now, but they're just going to outplay all of them.
It's a beautiful transition from the air dribble into the dribble on the deck and almost fifties it through.
What KC need to continue to do, and it's what they were doing in game one and two, obviously,
they were arriving at the right timing offense.
It seemed like every single half clear, every single set of ball,
It was a case he player arriving at full speed to collect it, keep the pressure on.
At the end of the last game that they were trilling, they were arriving a bit early.
They were coming in too fast, they were having to hit the brakes, slow down, lose all their momentum.
So, it's only they can keep their movement like it is right now.
Blow it, regain each other well. I think they're going to be this fight.
Oh, she's going down to the box at the moment. Wow!
Zero had to be careful not to put that straight back over to him.
a grind pitch like my talk. It's beautiful to see that creativity that's something that we did see as well even in Forbidden Temple when they lost.
If you're really trying to go out here, have some fun, make some big plays.
Oh, look at that! Oh, look at that!
Just stuck around in the goal line.
One score, it's Ato off the ball making a half over the double demo.
This is the problem. When you start employing that physical play, you also remind your opponents this is an option as well.
One thing I do want to point out as well, game one, we saw some brilliantly timed challenges on the air dribbles from Juicy.
Just provided, get another one. Oh, wow.
Kipping the second, we got three up, and all that momentum has disappeared.
And look at the shot placement here from Ato take notes to everybody.
He's shot that straight at Two Piece.
He knows Two Piece is expecting him to go across the goal,
but that's an easier angle to cover when you're facing
forwards like Two Piece was.
It's so often better to just shoot at the goal
at the near post.
Even if they do save it, it's very difficult
to get a good clear on it.
This time, saving up being possible.
Re-nailed to Casey.
That's who played Two Piece on the wall.
Can't get that back from his whenever teammates.
Zero, just trying to see this game away, as KC have gone all off the cards right now.
So comfortable after a resurgence from Virtus.Pro.
Are they going to try that a fourth, baby?
He's in the corner, two minutes.
That's a rough, you're going to make a game of this, it has to be soon.
Yeah, coming back from behind is that much more difficult,
but you've been in that strike.
Two-piece, double in a mid, that's impressive,
Impressive but largely ineffective against a prepared KC
Vizera over one reset
Making it awkward for talk waving quickly up to follow
You can see there they're really good force to rush and defense here
They're having to use everything just to clear the ball
Again, so all demos that should be all
A long road left to track
But they've given themselves time
Well that is surprising again, but Sierra just caught a no-mise line.
Atto self-cleared it out, maybe.
But Sierra thought Atto could get back to it and 50 it down.
We can see clearly that's not the case.
And now there's light at the end of the tunnel,
might be a little bit closer.
Not quite.
Sierra does get back to the net this time.
Oh, top end foul!
Crossbar over pallards!
Juicy!
Let's try to find the 50. Has got it. Ato on the way. Back to away from it though.
So maybe he's got the player!
Oh! That would have been unbelievable!
Oh, I saw it lucky for me. Fee.
I think it's an accident of contact in the ball while the buff is happening.
Probably could have gone in otherwise, but they're gonna need to go again with just order of a minute left.
So, still with the passing option. Do you already know that Casey can see it though?
Ampeteran just willing to take the 50, crushes for it.
Look for the ceiling.
One minute left on the clock.
And after all we've put a wightly off target, two peas can play from that position.
Juicy, oh what a challenge, Juicy's challenge game has been on a whole different level so far.
This is a great challenge, lunging challenge.
Whether it's in the air or the ground, he's here keeping the momentum.
They're just going straight through the defensive line, circling back to take their turn on the next go.
For once, BPR able to get them all underneath the KC players, but Tira actually getting faked out.
Those fakes are going to be fated far between. That's Juicy wants to get coming in to take his go.
Juicy has managed to take this fall from one side of the field to the upper. Didn't even require a single mechanic.
Just pull the fifties he can. Now he's got a golfers trouble. That is well deserved.
And Juicy reminding everybody what he's all about in this event.
Faced heavy criticism after EWC.
As every teammate of Vazira and Atto does when Casey are struggling.
But he's shown time and time again in long situations that he can play under pressure in grand finals.
He's been flawless so far in his roughly career.
Maybe he still have a chance here.
He won't need a kickoff though.
I like that strat that they've got for it. They've not given up just because he's died by 3.
Let's see what they go for in here. Have to get it in within 4 seconds.
It's a difficult kickoff to really correct anything from you.
Usually once something on a diagonal, a 5th takes you long surely. Yeah, they try to go for an immediate follow-through.
It's not going to work, KC. 3, VP, 1. No timeout available.
Available for a first pro on Juicy.
Oh, wow, Juicy.
It's here to play.
Let's stay on the topic of Juicy, shall we, Johnny?
Because just over a year ago, or just under a year ago,
one player left this coming court team.
His name was Jirali.
And so many people thought, no, what?
Jirali's the best player on the planet.
Surely, how can anybody replace him?
surely Juicy can't keep this team as they well championship contender.
That feels like a very long time ago now, doesn't it?
Yes, 700 point game from Juicy.
He scores a hat trick to put Grammy for triple match point.
Now, Casey were immediately calling Juicy's number as soon as
Drally left after last year's world championship.
They knew who to go to.
They knew who they wanted on the team.
And now we can see why even though Juicy was coming up a pretty disappointing season for himself
Casey knew I've heard it in interviews. It said that he's got so much potential. They
Always wanted to play with him
But I think what was it at and the material said they said he's just a little bit stupid
Yeah, they had to teach him how to play and play their game
Casey's playstyle
When it is on it just looks unplayable the only team who really have seemed inevitable in the past to the same level is
the game. It's just not a
plan. We have to play to be
dependent for five minutes and
hoping that you get mistakes to
start country attacks. It's also
something that you don't really
warm up. You get onto the stage.
You get into free play practicing
your mechanics. You flip resets
saying that you're going to get
backwards and you're going to
stay there for next three
minutes. What is the way to
I think the only team that really can give you an idea of what this is like is, you know,
if you can hit up Vulcans and say, hey, can we stream you this before in the KC game?
And that'll maybe give you an idea of what the pressure is going to be like.
Even then, I think Vulcans and Drally have not had up.
Hello, Crossbar, early for VP.
You know, with Drally, Vulcans don't have that same offensive press.
They're a little bit more defensively tuned now.
see late more demos being attempted so that's pro not that they've got a
time-lapse already changed too much still stick with the same strategy but
they need the new goal just to arrive away from momentum three matches in a
row required or to get the reset instead leaves a routine mate I'm looking
the way now save no follow-up available instead requires a continuation of
play and maybe Virg's pro have ever committed allowing after to guide the
way back through take the challenge and you don't want material following this
we used to ball piles on a fake from that he's letting the ball sit in
awkward positions that VP can't really do anything with he's not giving them a
favorable 50 angle just driving through looking for funds and he knows that
there's not really a way to be beefy get the ball past his teammate
If you get that throw, you're getting bumped.
As you'll say, it's facts of life.
Two-piece.
I just lost that challenge by so much.
Starts to spray.
Looking to get anything at the moment.
Instead, they've been stuck in the right side of the field.
Pass.
That's already up.
That was the VP Defender level.
How much longer can Virtus.Pro hold on?
They've actually got great shots to try and get away.
Straight from the middle.
Oh!
Absolute double follow-calls.
Wavy, launched for team, one-nil VP.
Well, like you mentioned, that was a little bit more of a questionable follow-up.
From KC where Azo just moved into your post and he forced the start match to make it that decision,
Do you dive in? Do you go back before you can think about the answer?
Wave this, lift it, pass it.
AC cannot do that again.
That's where the first time you've really seen the concentration lapse.
These are bad shots.
AC are not firing the ball into effective locations here.
What you're saying, Johnny, is you don't want the half-volley available.
You don't want to put them in a position where they can actually run onto this clear.
Yeah, you don't want the goalie to have a clear run out of the ball.
You don't want the goalie to have an easy run up and slap, just sending the ball clear.
You want to make it awkward for them to hit the ball into the body in tennis, where there's no angle to get any hurt on it.
You pay up in clinical as requested, we knew there needs to be, and you have to take in a lot of their chances.
Definitely a team that, regardless of the result, are still in contention.
But for Mindar, no one eliminated from this game.
If you win it, you're through to the semi-finals.
You lose it.
Well, I guess SG is the quarterfinals.
What do you see?
I'll get that lavish further.
And get again. Casey just leaves the full trailing.
How do you guys approach the escape?
Who's up for this one?
Two beats right on the back once, and we can't produce it pretty much.
Yeah, the blues in this series, like you said,
would beat you in the anti-side thrashes it gives you.
I think that the better side even though you've got to start from further back
that's no shade to NA. It's more of a comment on how strong KC look but you
wouldn't meet the point, KC, in case you get into the final even if you lose this
match.
The wall.
Backboard again, that was a rock step.
KC doesn't like the look of that though and because KC doesn't want to go
it's another half body available.
That's the whole game right now, separated by one bad shot from Gizmo.
Saved by Two Piece, great double commit to have that covered.
Would have been easier to leave it and blame your teammate, but Two Piece is not that guy.
Yeah, that's pro. Almost losing that lead up, nothing.
Atto can't give the 50 out of the bat.
Fast touch, a little bit lacking. Juicy trying to step back for him. He's got players.
Here comes Atto!
You're gonna get who's taking the shot!
Oh my goodness.
Atto's gonna put it on net!
Two piece house control for now.
He had to use all his boost to get the ball
just to work to the halfway light.
No, it's past it, but the struggle continues.
The tier of pitch is back in.
Juicy's up for this.
Skim on net.
Two pieces there.
But for the past talk, I wasn't ready for it.
Casey can continue to try and lock down.
30 seconds.
One goal, the difference.
Does that chase Juicy on the way?
low 50, Hato's talking around.
The tier is trying to get it right back into the middle,
quickly, it's off the bar.
Slammed, clear by Wavy.
Just gonna get a hit back across.
Hato doesn't connect with a teammate.
Juicy, wave options downfield.
Hato's just picked the 100.
Trying to go for the goalkeeper.
The tier up.
Hato's midfield, using the break.
Oh!
Oh!
No, to the right!
Yeah!
Yeah!
That held off.
Oh, goodness me, that didn't look sustainable.
That looked absolutely terrifying, but VP have done it.
They made it into game six, they made it to New Tokyo.
They're going to figure out a way to get the ball clear.
Without relying on KC, making a mistake,
especially I'm sure as a coach watching,
horrifying for that.
I mean, VP fans are thinking, great,
Can we please, please clear the ball?
This is so stressful to watch.
It's all the wavy outplay of...
I'm gonna see a back shot again from TSC,
just, you know, back the situation with it.
I love pressure to be the lead.
Yeah, it's unusual for them.
We're seeing how difficult it is these days to get the ball
past the defense that is already set up,
as we can tell from the audio.
I don't know if I'm gonna make you laugh.
Extra is not a happy boy at the moment. Timeout going into Neo Tokyo very interesting
I can't something to talk about. I mean we've seen this work quite a lot this event space station gaming have pulled it off twice
They go into game five of the three will lead they lose game five called timeout and then they
Want to save it for game seven?
Maybe
Sight themselves out. I'm a fan of this from extra like this call in a timeout early just have that conversation
Okay guys, we've got a game plan for the next two games. Should we need them? Let's get it done in six
We discussed earlier on what this is like for versus pro
What is this like for KC where?
You are playing a lot of this in offense, and yeah, we've not really got a dance partner that is willing to go into good steps
Is there a moment where you see versus pro in defense?
Let's let this up a little bit. Let's get the game we're taking and force them to come out
It's just the fact that there is a defender there
I actually like KC's approach to the second half of game
Game fight even though they've lost again, even though they couldn't get the goal
I like the fact that they're slowing the ball down in the final third because it's not nice
Yeah, if there's no challenge coming you might as well just take the time on the ball
it's here and nearly got a goal for them in zero seconds in the zero second
sequence with a solo play with the mind game so I want to see more of that
solo play in the final third from KC just taking the time and they've got it
but mainly they've just got to avoid bad shots shots at goalkeepers who can
run onto the ball and do the play as much as the last wing did look
sustainable first throw one more of them and
And Shabby Phil is his whole, all desperate game entirely.
Game six, Virtus.Pro have already made more of a series of this than anyone predicted.
What else can they do? Atto on the clear, straight to two-piece.
He's got pass one for Tiras waiting for him. Is he going to regret that?
Not this time around, he's said lefty for Tusi, who maintains his role as the juggernaut of challenges.
Yeah, he's just going for the ball every time, just forcing the outplay.
If it doesn't happen, he's winning that ball. He's coming away with it, so...
In case he can really rely on him today, it seems...
This is the Juicy that they knew that they were...
Potentially dead, they thought.
Okay, well, listen, we know this guy's got the city.
I've seen it before.
Here they come again, Juicy.
Fast to sit back for it, but Tira's up for the rebound.
Oh!
It's straight down here, post. It's awkward for VP.
The attack continues.
Juicy just leaves up for Atsar, who can't figure out
Which one of those two players is going for it?
And Syrah, that's a really good angle!
And two-piece uses the goal to slingshot into the ball!
Okay, so you aren't taking the time here.
Letting the ball bounce in awkward positions, VP.
Honestly quite lucky to get away with that.
Very, very stuck in the mud on a couple of these saves.
But once again, KC chance gets the goal.
So this is where they have to focus up,
because the game plan is working, they're creating chances.
They've got to be patient everyone is playing this like first goal wins
And right now in this series that is kind of how it has been
Look to the corner
200 tons of the beautiful time for him. That's oh, yeah, well as always
I go for anything else
Nice block yet again close them down first pro
Looked almost like they were shot to be an offense for a second couldn't really set anything up. Oh
Oh, the chance out. KC, get the demo. Juicy has to go for the demo and him as well.
He's been fighting fire and fire, he bumps one away.
Will KC remain frustrated? Join us along with us for it.
When you've had so many chances, starts to become a mental block.
The question was, it takes a little past these guys.
Juicy's on his way, gets the demoed, takes out Pace.
Who's the next one? Oh, it's a blue car!
It's Vatera!
Virtus.Pro has to be ready for those, however.
The half chances might be as good as it gets.
How about the mental game for Virtus.Pro?
Let's play this much defense, and to still beat this consistency.
Improving as the series goes on.
Huge performance from them.
They'll want to go a little bit further.
As we said before, no teams won in this playoff format.
from the Lord Bracket.
Oh, KC, ball up for Bracket.
The fourth of the Lord Bracket that yet to win a World Championship.
Two minutes to go against it.
Still, scoreless for both.
That's a guarantee of top four if you win this.
Back four, it's on.
Takes his time.
Thompson for Abidemo.
Right now the car gets a second.
Oh, no!
Now, awkward.
Wavy's done just fine.
Oh, they're really, really playing the fire!
Yeah, it's close, too close for my liking.
Maybe I've got to be just a little bit more careful, but it's...
Composer and defense. There's no doubt to bite it.
Two defense.
Yeah, they're extremely, extremely patient on the defensive end.
Wait for the stake, which actually, in the interview...
Oh, yeah, that starts to become more viable.
Well, the turn is usually the beneficiary.
That's our...
Oh, how do you even play against that? You have to figure out which one's going for it.
And also, Virts is going in. We've talked about case-tip floating now.
Virts is broke! No one really can…
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Stop! No!
I'm not in any trouble.
But they pushed them onto the corner.
Virts is broke! They're surviving!
But here I did read the center ball.
You see. Playing it too close to goalies again.
Final minute.
Unreal defense, he touched by Top!
You see again
What a hat to be eventually
Comey call
They've not been knocking on the door. They've been trying to bust it down and
Finally, they've got the one goal lead
Virtus Pro need to send the house. They've got the kickoff, but she feels that
It's good. I'll come here for it. You see
not really a lot fall off available for VP on this one 35 seconds ago they're still
tight for VP to work with.
Not me at all, I'm just trying to set up what they've been doing the entire game.
They are the faster of the teams, they know it's gonna be much more open now.
Zork, they've already seen the musty earlier on.
What else have they got in these last 15 seconds?
They need a bit of magic here, they've already had something from all their players
in this tournament will it be time for the skin plays in defense lead to the side
I'm sorry to try and put this away just too good you don't get to play this much
defense against KC and win a series all that often the game they shot they
They're scored and they will advance to the top four.
Oh, the group maybe got that in.
There might have been a chance.
Carmen and Corp are guaranteed top four.
They've done it year after year.
Tomorrow they find out if they can take those extra steps.
But Tira has won everything.
He's not won this one.
We might be 24 hours away from that changing.
Just ridiculous consistency.
Salt 4 for the fourth season in a row.
Salt 4 for the third season in a row part.
Vastianato as a duo.
It's just unbelievable when you let them get into this rhythm.
Really the only games that VP won were mistakes from JC when they were overextending.
But they saved him post. They kept attacking.
They trusted their play style.
And it was enough. But that's their VP though.
Like I said earlier, I think, you know, they've still got a great chance.
It looks like they're going to be playing some great Rock the League in the stage.
Yes.
Much like Shelf Fight did today despite their loss, you know, NA is here to play.
And now they're on the NA side of the bracket.
So we're going to have two NA team kills, VP against Space Station.
And then the winner of that will play against the winner of NRG
against Fook, which is coming up later today.
So one of those NA teams is going to be making the final.
Well, that's the great news.
Moff Merica, you've got a grand finalist.
The bad news is you might have Falcons or calming corp meeting you over there
but this one belongs to calming corp so often the runners up so often the
August Rans. Let's go and speak to Batira. The blue wall has come strong
Air Force but here I come in gore
you got to love it any any energy is good energy when it comes to playing on a
stage like this you know vatira you've been chasing after this for so long of
course coming off the Paris Major that would have been so enthralling out what's
What's the difference to play in North America where the audience isn't fully behind you?
I mean it's a different type of energy, but I love it to be honest.
We are the villain and we are here to conquer NA.
Here to conquer NA.
Well I say that that is one down so far, of course they could bounce back.
How what do you think of NA after playing Virtus Pro?
I mean it feels like they've kind of leveled up.
Yeah, to be honest they really surprised me. They're a really strong team. They did really great and
Yeah, I mean and they are pretty good this land and I'm not surprised because
Every time Europe is on the top, but we have to change a bit. So yeah, we are just here to beat them anyway
Now I gotta ask looking at the bracket who's left North America of course is dominating the bracket
You saw the Falcons and your cells.
Do you believe, or let them hear it,
is a North American team going to make it into the grand finals?
Yeah, I think so.
Ah, there?
You don't like that, right?
You're confused, aren't you?
Anyways, what I want to say before I let you go here,
of course, it's so cool to see some of the Blue Wall make it out here.
If you want to say anything while they continue to sport,
amp them up, because they're going to need it going into the rest of the bracket.
Thank you, guys.
It's been a pleasure.
We're in the middle.
We're used to it.
We're going to go to the end and we're going to be proud of ourselves.
K-Corp domination on the offensive side.
It would be Virtus.Pro playing a very good defensive game,
but at the end of the day with K-Corp's fakes and their teamwork,
they would eventually break that down.
And ultimately, you can't win a series by playing primarily defense,
and the offense that was going from Calmingcorp was unbelievable.
They had 74 shots across the series to 29 from Virtus.Pro,
who on the other side had to make 47 saves,
and they still could not quite get it down.
Yeah, but you talk about the total number.
But let's break that down to the averages.
12.33 shots per game for Carmen Corp.
4.83 per burn.
They simply went on off and then going into that series,
out of all the teams that played Carmen Corp,
coming out of that group with them with SSGM Falcons,
had played the least amount of time on the defensive herd.
They're always on offense.
And that's the thing too, K-Corp.
We talked about that group of death.
There's only two teams that didn't win the groups
that were still in the tournament.
They were both from KC's group.
So we knew that they were a great team that had to go through great teams.
VP, yes, you've had a great run so far and a lot of them was defense.
They did have a lot of offense too, but against K-Corp, they never got the chance.
Anyway, it's very reminiscent of the thousands Korea matches we saw yesterday of wonderful defense, incredible defense.
But if you cannot find the opportunity to get out on offense,
if all you have is opportunity to show off how strong your defense is,
that means you're not scoring and you've got a score.
I was still impressed with what VP could put up when they were offensive.
One of my favorite goals in that series was Wavy's, where he acted in his own third and then Brazy's legs.
They're straight from the half play line. It was gorgeous play.
I think VP, they've got a huge amount of crown on them.
I'm very happy that they're still in the tournament.
And to be fair, we're talking that, you know, K-Corp on the series.
That was a new token. It was a 4-2 series.
But VP with that defense got two games, so they are close enough to these teams that they could make a run here.
Office is hard, man. How you get to it? 17 difference in office demos. You got a what plus 40
something not different and you only go you go all in game six. It took you
Five minutes office basically to break the people off office is really hard in 2026 and rock league man
But you got to give a credit to these great teams. It is the testament
If you show me those stat lines and ask me guess what the games line was
I don't think I would say I went to game six a little bit more like a sweep
So pretty impressive stuff there from Virtus. Pro in the loss James has been watching that as well
I'm excited to see what play you've got for us James. Yeah, I think I just got a good example of why K corp is so annoying
To play against they've got such solid fundamentals. So let's just dive into this play here
It starts out with a possible counter attack here
You can see two-piece actually bumping juicy off the ball and that is going to give a dribble opportunity for talk
So this is a good situation for VP talk coming into the dribble
Mityra has to dodge the bump, he actually has a glancing blow on him, but he's still able to recover, and then over here.
While Mityra is getting in position to make this save, you can see Ato being a nuisance on this mid-boost.
Two-piece Pumps Park, and I think he's going to get this boost.
Well, Ato has other thoughts. He doesn't jump, gets a little bit further away from the boost, which actually helps him pick that up in that position.
So he steals that boost. So now, Mityra in the corner talk is going to bully him off the ball, but that's fine.
But that's fine, Juicy is ready and waiting and look at how well Juicy plays this.
He has no boost. A lot of times in this situation you're not going to be able to take multiple defenders out of the play.
But look at how good these low 50s are. These are the fundamentals right here.
Perfect 50. Does so well that even on low boost he can stay in the play.
Two-piece full boost, but Juicy still going. Another perfect 50 and that buys time for Vitira to move in.
And now look at how smart Vitero is here.
Goes up on the wall, pretends like he's going to hit it,
tries to make Toc panic a bit, Toc goes for the ball.
Vitero just drives through.
He doesn't need to try to waste time going for a challenge
there.
Ato keeps this pressure going, keeps this pressure going.
And then Juicy, look at how well he handles this off
the ceiling.
And then look at Ato as well.
He is so good at landing demos,
lands a demo there to take the defense out.
And now Juicy off the ceiling, look at this challenge.
He lands on the ceiling, actually wave dashes onto the ceiling,
gets in perfect position, and just knocks that ball down.
Wavy, sorry that he had to posterize you there.
But then Atto, again, landing another demo.
And that demo is so key because this shot actually
doesn't go in.
That defender that was rotating back
would have been able to read this off the bounce.
But because of the Atto demo,
the Tira had a clear path, and he's able to punch it in.
And I don't know about you guys,
but if I'm playing against Atto,
I'm getting pretty tilted.
I mean, that's the reason he's the demo leader
of the league here, James.
And I think it's a big part of why Zeminato
are so strong in twos as well.
Yeah, and also all around great play.
You saw the fifties from Juicy.
Betira following up the plays brilliantly.
They are a three-headed beast.
Incredible stuff.
Thank you so much, James.
We'll see him a little bit later on some more gameplay
breakdowns.
I mean, a fantastic, not just the demos,
but also the boost grab at the beginning.
Ado just completely opening up all the options
the next man up and they
always make that quality touch.
We're mentioning on that
boot front as well, but it
actually came down to add so he
used the most boost out of that
entire match. He was going around
picking up a lot. It was in juicy
who had most time 100. So he was
also picking up a huge amount
and then the Tera stole more
pads than any other player. So
boost is a gigantic part of
calming Corbis game.
It's a gigantic part of Carmen Corb's game.
And as it's shown by that replay that James pointed out,
it's just those small little bits that you tied together
to make a great team.
They're winning in every part of the game.
And it is what got them into the top four here.
They are undefeated right now at the World Championship.
And they are one win away from the Grand Finals.
On the other side of things, let's put another team
into the top four.
The other huge surprise here of the tournament.
Well, they're not a huge surprise.
They've been rallying here at the end of the season.
All the way into the top seat of their group and they are again one on one away from top four here
That's the old guard with Justin
He's still around three thousand days later and he's still competing at the very top versus the kings of North America and RG
Well, no the kings of the world in RG. That's true
True folks. We're gonna take a quick break when we come back you heard Bates say at the reigning defending rocket league champions of the world
Take to the stage against the Eastport. That's coming up after a break
Keeps, I want to try and experiment.
All right.
To help you un-become your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League.
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?
No, picture soccer.
Okay.
car. What do I hang my feet outside the window? No, not your car. But you said think it's a
video game. Oh, okay, I get it. Where's the cartridge? No, it's an online thing. Is there
a joystick? Not like the ones you're thinking of. But I need to get some quarters, right?
No. I got to blow in the cartridge again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username.

All right, folks, all right, settle down, settle down, as you know, we're doing office

I'd like to introduce you to Shogun who's going to walk you through some of the basics,
okay?
Shogun, please take it away.

Induction is all about the fundamental mechanics.

You're not ready to calculate liability
when someone as old-mexed, no-fine as teammates
still fall bush right from under them,
leaving their entire goal line defenseless.
It's gross negligence.
Do not answer that!
Right, is that...?
Oh, no. It's Keith.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't pick that up.
I have to listen to him every day around two.
Talk about how he got demoed in the parking lot,
trying to reverse defending a spot, allegedly.
I handle thousands of high-impact demolition claims
every single week, burned out octanes,
exploded mercs, total pet trackage,
and none of it, none of it, terrifies me more
than Keith saying,
so I have a quick question
about the traffic laws on Champions' Peele.
Well, the time before that,
he took me through every body type and decal that he had,
and let me tell you something.
There's only so many times
many times you listen to someone say,
look at that hot rodder before going insane.
Keith, long time no speak.
Okay, slow down, Keith.
Start over.
What seems to be the problem?
Yes, other people can have.
The bathroom code is 9914 and the title as well.
It's not exclusive to you.
Yes, I know adding turning signals into the game would help you not bump into your teammates,
but I just don't see that being a widely used feature.
Here, here, let me show you how it goes, let me show you how a pro does it.

2 more matches remain here on playoff Saturday for the 2026 Rocket League World Championship.
One more of our 3v3 visiting the team in the top 4 and then a grand final of the 2v2
Rocket League Championship Series.
First time running a champion in 2v2 here at the Monumentus occasion.
It's like insane seeing how much the game is growing.
only this season, but what is to come? I've been speechless this entire week. Every single
time we've gotten to see something happen and the one day one's the other day and the
two V2s, it's just so beautiful.
It really is.
What's also beautiful is North America's on top. There's been so much fun to watch
North America. In front of the crowd though. It feels like crowds in NA always come into
Sunday a little disappointed but not this time they're gonna have so many
contenders fight for you know it's gonna come down to probably the final boss of
cake or versus one of these north america teams we know a north america
team is going to the grand final at this point we just don't know if it's
gonna be two of them oh my goodness if it RG wins this match I can already see
that I got each quarter and ready and all the other social media said and RG
They play NA open number seven to make it to the grand finals.
My boys cake over Falcons all the way to the end again.
I don't hear all these excuses, man.
Listen, you go and play, who's in front of you?
Here's the thing, obviously they shouldn't do it.
But if NRG were to lose this match,
then they would make it to the grand finals
by beating Falcons and Carmencourt, you know?
Well, you can't say they shouldn't do it
because the last two times they played, but they've lost.
But again, historically, we're looking at
the beating of this tournament.
Again, there's two tier S teams.
It was KC and Falcons.
Whoever loses this next match has to beat them both and then still win one more match after.
That's how important this game is.
We'll see who gets the honor of going straight through to the top four.
Who has to battle through the bottom gauntlet, folks.
It's time for the next match of the day.
Introducing first, Paul O'Bluse dies.
This is the last chance.
Justin Buckley's back at World!
Please welcome to the stage,
Mark Esparg!
And Paris, this team came in top 12, they got knocked out by twisted minds, it was 4-1,
It was not close. They've already doubled up on that success here with a top six guaranteed and they're looking at the top four
We don't care about any of these numbers if you're a fan of rocket league a lot of people got into rock only because of one
Shot back in season five at zero and that is for Justin. He's got help though. He's got chronic a major
winner
Who is performing an exception 1.36 flows for game that number one in office right now shooting 47%
percent but everyone here is here for one man and that is this guy right here
Chubb's School, since then World Championship has brought the school in Rock and Liquid 3 over 3,000 days ago.
I mean over 3,000 days ago, guess my goodness, he's a player, you heard the crowd pop, he was 100% correct.
A lot of fans in this building right now, especially North America, are fans of this great eSport because of Justin.
His sensational CM's here, still on the stage, still competing for world championships this long in his career.
Now he's got to go over to his own organization and handle business.
Ladies and gentlemen, Foot is here.
Can you rise to your feet for your world champions?
And their opponent, on the urine side.
They are the reigning,
the clicking, undisputed champions of the world!
This is the Star Game!
two years ago this trio was playing on a different banner named G2 search for their first world
championship they got announced on Saturday and the karate weapon now two years later
they're waiting the best thing champions of the world here and they're here at the back of the start
they did what they needed to do they got that world champion title but he was in front of a
European crowd. They want another one in front of these NA fans. And they deserve to hear those
roars along their side.
Peace mode, Daniel Atomic, three extremely iconic names searching for that confident title.
They want to outdo all the things that have been done before that.
Yeah, the title on the North American Soul,
her exact land atomic.
He's been here two times before,
made all the grand finals both times,
but Monkey Moon was in his way.
No longer on the path that Monkey Moon,
and said he took care of the go.
He must have get the job done.
I mean, that's how good the atomic is.
He didn't even play yesterday and he won.
His monkey put his ass out of the corner of him.
So he is happy about that,
but it's Justin going up against his old Oregon NRG.
Foot has looked like a red hot team
through the group stage.
number one offense in the entire tournament. We got the head up. Of course, it's going
to be atomic on the other side. Number two in goals for game right now at 1.08. I mean,
you said it was 3000 days ago that you hit the shot hurt around the world. I think it
was 3000 days ago when he won his world championship with NRG in season eight.
But you know, I've won that he hit that goal two years earlier.
No, I he's in five days long. Those were on. It was on NRG.
This is the team he put on the map.
The energy has been one of the most storied,
I think at this point, undisputed,
the longest storied organization in rockin' the history.
They've had a team roster longer than any other org,
but the reason these North American fans
are so excited about this team and this name
is because of that player.
Well, yeah, that player,
and also you've got Captain America, Garagy as well.
You've got Squish, you've got some famous names
over there, and I'll just,
listen, we can't just all hype up,
we gotta hype up the other ghosts as well.
Are they here?
Hey, hey, Garagy, they're somewhere.
I can't take you to someone.
Please, I give it, respect Garagy.
I do look good.
But anyways, the whole point I'm making
is that graphic we just threw on your screen.
I was old and they don't, don't, I'm
getting too old and they don't.
And now, the whole entire open era,
Tom Xpina best in North America.
Maybe first skill has a hand in that.
Justin Prider, Dan Lee, play domination.
Yeah, but then we saw Cheese in the interview.
How excited he is to get this moment in front
of an RLCS crowd.
He's always finished ninth at best at all these majors.
Has never had this chance before.
And he wants to capitalize on it right now.
Let's go big side.
And I hear, look at these two teams,
because like we said, we have the number one offense coming in by far really, really great
and group B. But now they're gonna get tested because NRG especially, they love to play offense.
They fairly play defense.
They're kind of like all my court light, honestly, my estimation, the only difference between
KC and NRG is that KC usually finishes at some point in time.
NRG could be like pushing ahead like, why are you not scoring yet?
That's the big question for them.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's know who you think is gonna win in the progressive
fan vote.
We'll make our picks on the desk here.
I believe we have a special guest joining us once again.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Michelin man.
Woo!
Oh, God!
Look at that!
We're back at it!
And all the time he's been running to go.
Look at that.
Oh, yes.
We're here.
He's excited.
He's in it.
Yeah.
Give me a hug too.
Thank you.
Hello.
This is my dream job.
I wish.
We're here.
All right.
Michelin man, you gotta give us a thumbs up, thumbs down.
You just give us a reaction as we make these picks.
If you agree with them, hirk.
Oh, gosh.
You got it.
Guys.
Don't disappoint Michelin.
Whoa.
Chill.
make my predictions for Rocket League for a while now.
And there's one player I want to see win so bad.
My boy, Cheese, deserves his time at the top.
No, you all watched NRG win already.
It's time to see the goal return.
It's his turn.
It's got to be done.
OK.
Gives.
You know I got to pick against NRG.
I'm going with Justin.
The entire way, I'm going with foot.
Huzzle, he's foot!
We'll take this and get to the top four spot.
That's absolutely fantastic, guys.
Listen, Rockitley's all about stories.
I'm a great Justin Phantoms 12.
Bob is not picking foot.
Give me an RG!
Of course, I'm not going to fall!
Of course, this is our reality that's the way.
Just as one of the most experienced players
in the world at Rocket League and on this stage,
but the two players next to him
have not been at this point in this competition
nearly as often as the three players on the other side.
Give me the world champs.
NRG will advance to the top four.
I've got him here.
This is the point field though.
NRG on one side.
What's in the air today?
Put one of the other into the air.
And it comes up for NRG.
Put the coin.
Will they be fan favorites in chat though?
Oh, it's a lot.
Oh, it's a lot.
How did that happen?
I feel like it's right down the middle.
Oh, this one.
That's the closest it's been since we've
been in the arena.
Oh my goodness.
Neither of these teams going home.
They're ready to go.
Official man, thank you so much for being here with us.
I hope you enjoyed the predictions.
Thank you, Sanseif, out there.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, here are moments
away from the winners' finals.
One team going for the top four, one going to the top six.
They're giving up on the missing away.
Giving up on the missing.
Super exciting matchup right here.
Wave ready to go.
I'm so excited.
I don't know which way it's going to go,
because energy has still not looked like energy.
Jess said at this moment they had the group of life,
And they even lost a match in that foot had a tougher group, I would say so I think it could be close
It's up to cheese a vehicle with his nerves
So how this one plays out? I'm in the same up, right?
I feel like she cheeses the player to watch chronic has seen the top he's gotten there much much closer than cheese
I don't know is it is a battle for the ages new age the original prodigy
Versus the rest of the world we'll see we'll see how they do folks
It's time for the final 3v3 match of the day.
Dickie's Arena, you have been so patient.
We have been waiting to see these teams on the stage,
and now it is my distinct pleasure
to present for you the reigning, defending,
Rocket League champions of the world,
challenged by a ghost from their past,
reignited in this new age.
History's forged by the hands they now stand to break.
Now, a new chapter will be written before your eyes.
It's footy sports versus A.R.G.
It's already a hot spot, oh Justin!
Trying to get that first shot on.
Little two F-nuff.
Winner, moves on to the top corner.
North America's out of the bracket, loser.
Has Falcons and Karmie Pork in their way.
This is so important.
That's where strikes are gonna matter so much.
The world's MVP, if the rating champs can go back-to-back, before they have a long-run
ahead of them.
B-Smo, baller at Tommik, right on two, but off the crossbar.
Follow up from B-Smo, with Daniel and Tommik all the way back beyond midfield.
Daniel tries to force his way through, and Justin says no thank you.
They just say we're looking out for it.
NRG is the finishing.
Our G base talk about it so many times.
Atomic is so effective in creating space.
But where's the finish?
They've got to be able to get on the board
and strike at these opportunities.
Meanwhile, for a foot, they've been ramping up
all tournament long.
This is their best placement.
But there's a stop here.
G's brings us into the midfield.
Hotting takes control.
It's back to 450.
G's low on boost.
That is the advantage of this piece, Mo.
Double pin getting and atomic will just try to keep this in space
Every world championship their players that have decidedly saved their best relays you're looking at one of them
Now is cheese loses control of that ball and now Justin
Let it go through the corners on a chronic
Everybody from 40 sports
Outstanding throughout their group stage earned their top spot. Here's Justin back at world, but that's in a way
Only the second time in the last seven years that Justin has played on land in front of his own crowd.
His front comes across to make another save and he'll have a lot of room but nothing in the tank.
Ready to get a flip reset, still generating all strength.
Justin with the first strike but it's quality to open up the shot.
The flip reset takes one out but quality gets a grace mark on a comic and Justin is there faster.
He almost had the first one to start us off.
This time his second shot holds true.
Fuck of the lead.
Would it be a sign of things to come?
And by God, Daniel weighs absolutely no time.
Right off the kickoff.
Brilliant, yet again.
And run us a-justin' as well.
How do you do?
That is a picture worth a thousand words.
He's talking about prodigy, and he's talking about being
adjusted both of their careers.
Now they're facing head to head here, right
front of this gig's crowd for top four.
It's a beautiful sight.
Oh, it's got another one!
Take the lead!
It's been a shootout to start!
You thought maybe this would actually turn into kind
of an adventure struggle.
But the middle of this game has been anything but point,
Counterpoint. What else do these teams have in store for a massive
crowded thickest arena?
She's waiting on the side wall there. She's placing right around the
Potomac last back.
By the popular for chronic. I had to get ready to talk about why
Daniel picks this up. It's a little bit of space. She's
the last back. Place it in the beast mode, the beast mode
Set up a Tommy, it's denied by the defense and the Tommy has the barrel back, does still keep that in play
and in our piece of little ball, Tommy, pass the tail, tail, pass the tail, oh, is it in? No!
Oh, he has the defense beat, but just a little too far outside the post.
This will come right out to Daniel.
That's the first duck, gonna get under chronic though, that's well defended by a team again
That has been exceptional in that regard.
Well, 50s, NRG keeping this pressure up.
Pressure that they're known to be able to bring,
especially this late into a competition.
Atomic working again, giving a pass, one for Justin.
Pretty big two inches, and seeing that on the back wall,
holding it just almost set up another opportunity to outfield.
Coming into this event, it was defense that was the concern.
Good point. Keep teams off the board long enough to make a deep run. At least get out of the group stage.
They've answered that question and have passed that sense of flying colors.
Demo in midfield and now a loose ball taken by, oh, was my Justin for a moment,
instead atomic as that forces keys to the back line.
And just no sign of anything changing with this forward line unless energy pressed the issue.
And out of the final minute with feast mode,
books his way through one.
Get him out of second.
Only cheese at the back, and it's powered away.
The clearance for cheese and the product for the double block
down.
Justin will collect it, put more on to the ball.
We're hitting that 30 second mark.
And our team need to get away out.
They've had so much pressure, but they
haven't been able to equalize the game.
Out of 20 seconds, Daniel.
Needs to go to work again.
He has one response already, looks small out in front
and still met by the defensive foot.
Daniel again around one.
Atomic second touch to center, but no candor.
Clear all the way downfield.
It does bounce high though.
NLT gets a strike, and Q's taken away.
Cheese with the final nail here in this game.
And wow, what a start here.
Four, five, set up one more kickoff, one second left.
For the sake of journalistic and catcher,
David will throw you to the final.
Everybody help me now.
But it takes game one.
We can all clap now.
I love it.
But if you look at, again, she's getting that final goal.
I think it does have a little bit more impact
than securing the game.
She's just the one with the least amount of experience
at this stage, at least in this matchup here.
Getting him settled and getting that first ball
on this land stage is gonna be huge.
If he gets comfortable, I mean,
it's just such a big impact.
We're putting him a positive way.
It's a great start here.
Meanwhile, NRG, we've seen them, again,
set up and create some opportunities,
but it just feels like that defense from foot
is shutting a lot down.
When you look at the story of NRG in this tournament,
the lead up to it, the group draw,
how, well not really much of a draw,
just how the way the groups played out,
and then, of all things,
losing their last match in the group,
but still topping the group
on like the 80,000th Highbreaker criteria.
It just feels like there's a lot of plot armor there.
And it also feels like,
putty sports just put a big chunk
or put a big dent into that plot armor.
I can see it but it is only game one.
You gotta get them both credit both times.
So I'm playing on the stage right now today.
And NRG, like I said, they created opportunities
that just couldn't finish.
I think that's the biggest thing.
And not all of that was due to no one being there.
They were there.
I saw people committing when atomic was, you know,
like I said, when atomic was set up, people would jump.
It just puts defense that much stronger,
lots of big clears away.
Some adjustments made.
Let's see what NRG happened to score for game two.
We've been in tempo the backdrop as NRG looked for an answer and instead they just find
what's gonna try to control the game yet again.
Cheese, Backboard, Chronic, what happened?
Just a down!
I mean if it's Buff, the total low of Beastman in the topic out the way.
Cheese on the Backboard and Chronic back up to put it in the net.
Cannot believe the value of Chronic in that Buff.
He just created and finished that play.
NRG, a custom to being the team that is pulling everybody around,
especially within North America.
I love Kronik in the last second touch.
There's Cheese, just playing slow to the side, trying to draw the defense out.
Justin across.
He can get to this ball, but not quite in time to beat Atomic.
But Atomic just kind of throwing the ball away,
allows Kronik and Puck to keep the attack alive.
and NRG, at least in this first minute,
have thought had any rhythm at all
as they try to break out of this massive pressure for put.
Oh, Justin, flip reset.
One, two, half round of defense,
good control from Daniel.
Daniel, he's got a bump on Justin,
so a little bit of room for beast mode,
he just booms it over.
Hey, he gets a good follow as well.
Can you read this off the ceiling?
Trying to, that's gonna be something in the corner,
but it's not a favorable position for NRG.
It's been a struggle for them to set up offense now.
It feels like foot running away here with the moment.
Justin coming around to the right side
is going to fall instead to Pronick.
Off to the backboard.
Easily met by Atomic.
They can touch out there, but V-Sphone.
All right, she's picking up at midfield.
Just not working out.
This is a quick turn, though, from Atomic.
Got an opportunity to drop a centering pass down,
but still nothing to the foot net.
It's all getting walked out in front.
G's will try again.
He's got Justin and he almost
ripped the clearance for Daniel.
Now Daniel with space pulls out two,
but NRG and the ball never just gets into a place
where they can follow.
For them to just be all over it,
putting it in tough spots
and just bear every step of the way
that he feels faster at this point.
Looks awkward here for Daniel,
I'm gonna go back around and play 50.
Maybe some room, a comet?
No, no chance there, I'll let him get space.
Big arms and games that's true,
knowing he didn't have to panic.
Somebody was diving in.
Now Justin...
Oh!
Oh, he got it, he got it, just now!
Justin, big win!
Dio, has no idea what was coming at him!
What a pitch!
He's been at this a long time, over 3,000 days since the shot
hit around the world and still at the top of the sport.
Here's Gene looking for more out of the corner.
And a gentle behind the play allows him to pop this ball out.
And it's Daniel.
Flip reset number one.
That's all they'll get is almost all they needed
is for a cup to cross to make the save.
He's my own, looking to turn this around.
And you can see the plays developed from NRG.
It's just when it comes to the execution,
giving them to connect, feels like almost every time.
At this stage of the game, almost isn't good enough.
More physicality, more pressure.
Oh my God!
A scouter for product, he's two for two!
They are just setting up camp in front of the NRG net.
Listen, there's no long they need a permit at this point.
Three, nail the advantage.
It is just real safe for them in front.
And a scoring trap on the side of NRG.
Two minutes to go.
And Flut has maintained control of the game.
This will drop straight down.
She's a little awkward.
Maybe a chance.
Big Smoke's got it.
NRG back on the board.
Think about a team like NRG.
You let them get one.
They can score and punches.
This one comes immediately after conceding one.
Now can they do it again off the kickoff?
Another quick ball in the next 15 seconds.
For a really stretch, it turns things around mentally
for foot.
They for NRG as well, especially considering
where they're at down three with just under two minutes
to go when they get that last ball.
Now, they can make rally here, but first things first.
They've got to control the possession.
Tom is fighting for it.
Whose ball is this?
Daniel leaves that corner, gives it back to Beast Mode.
They're more pressure.
It's just still another one for Cheese.
I mean, they just run around the NRG defense.
Absolutely incredible.
All bias, lonesome.
Single-handedly picks the NRG defense.
Cheese activating two goals to assist already in less than 10 minutes of this series
Daniel needs a quick answer. There's none forthcoming follow up easily set away
it does kind of rock around atomic deleted off the pitch as well as cheese dropped it down
and had support there defensively to clear up all booked you stuff already
Beautiful! Daniel, straight down, drop to Baldy!
Into the back of the net, it's a great goal!
But they need more than that, Stax!
That just raises to a two-ball game for the minute and two to go!
Political touch, we get that ball out of Horton's way off the kickoff,
but here comes Daniel again!
Devel in midfield, this chronic took out one,
One almost got that death work, but Beast Mode back in the way.
Now, she's the work is not done yet.
As hard as could have worked in this game,
and they've certainly earned everything they've gotten.
They still need to lock it down for another 35 seconds.
Here goes Beast Mode with nothing in the tank.
Cheese cuts him off, and Daniel just
has to sit back and wait.
Oh, Justin trying to get up there.
Those clothes are too Justin in the opposite corner here.
That's a good beat, is that in?
No, I'm trying to collect since it's adjusted.
And now, put looking to burn the clock.
Time to be down.
NRG would have to score here with some time.
And it looks like that is not going to happen.
Four pups, but no one on the ball.
But take this series in their hands.
Two back-to-back game wins.
Both by two goals.
This one may be actually a little more testing even though, you know, they scored near the very end of game one.
You just kind of felt like everything was sitting on the edge wondering, okay, it's not a matter of if, but when NRQ would make their run.
And right when they started, foot cut it off immediately.
Yeah, I mean, we saw the pinch, well, just that was great.
It just feels like both are all on the same page.
Everybody's executing here in this series.
We saw the initial play, again, so much work with the chronic
to be able to set up some offense.
And then, Cheese has come into his own.
Just feels like, like, 14 effort here.
And for NRG, just they haven't been able to work around it.
We've seen moments of brilliance,
but they need more consistency.
Outstoring NRG 7-3.
Over the first couple of games of this upper bracket
series and Sathya's seen enough.
They'll call time out.
And the man who's widely regarded as one of one
among North American coaches and maybe coaches around the world
has to find a way to get the reigning champs back on track.
That's true, but on the other side there,
Adam Begett has earned his name to be spoken.
Almost in a similar light.
The way this foot team has performed
and the way that they have come,
All these players have come together to take down the teams that they've played against and even battle as hard as they have this series.
I mean, it's all been incredible work for everybody on the board that shit.
We talked so much about breakthrough players of the year and comeback players of the year like Justin, for instance.
I'm going to break through coach of the year and Adam McGat and the performance he's put together with footy sports.
Yeah, again, this is a team that I mean, they had Justin kind of fall into their lap.
Everything worked out perfectly.
They gave up their points and said, all right, if we get the job done in Paris, sure, but
we're built for the LCQ, we will go to the World Championship through there and we
will make our run.
And boy have they, as Dickies Arena tries to rally behind NRG and get them back into
this again, upper bracket matchup.
elimination, but a bad sign of things to come if they can't get at least one against their
regional rivals.
And you know, not even talking to the footcamp, just walking around here in the talk.
You hear it in their voice, even here coming from Adam, they have a plan on taking this
whole game.
Whether you like it or not, NRG have to wake up, big swing game here, game three,
It's live!
And put it out to a quick start yet again.
If they can, they can almost render the timeout completely useless.
There's no question about their offense.
They have been able to score.
This goes downward easily, dished off by atomic.
But as good as their defense has been, you always felt like there's still just something
to be desired.
They're answering that question in Spanish right now.
It is chronic, locked off.
And NRG still struggling to just get any kind of sustained pressure.
If you get something here that who spawned at his midfield for peace mode, he's up
Quickly just trying to catch that himself keeping close to the wall, but no way to pass to anybody
They look so early. They're gonna get beat there. They have to get the ball on for 10
Finally, we're able to get out but only for a moment. It's just been still control of the ball energy playing around it
I'm committing too hard, but I think it's a good sign because they don't want to open themselves up to a full counter attack
from his own back wall, Justin right there to meet him.
He couldn't get the ball, but he has the next best thing.
And of all the cheese, he's beaten by Daniel.
But even that initial beat, that's not enough.
Almost sidewalk double-man game, great first touch.
Flip reset, plays the low,
Pinto!
Oh!
That's the Daniel you're gonna love!
What control here!
Soon as he gets the first touch,
Nobody's faking it at the ground pitch.
It's just so hard to guard Daniel.
He's playing like that.
And with Justin on the back wall,
who's been around long enough, he's seen it all.
Daniel still found a way to surprise him.
Oh, does Justin have another quick answer?
No, it's locked away.
Geez.
Oh, he got that skin to the backboard.
But again, just not enough.
Not at least on this occasion.
Oh, Daniel, he was that corner.
He's able to get back, boosted up,
and get back into the play,
but you want to still be able to deny, put some boost.
Now, it's gonna be so much harder for him to get up here.
See, Justin denying that mid,
doesn't want Daniel to get anything,
is Justin now looking to take the ball all by himself.
No one up.
See how one flip reset,
game two, try to play it all the way through.
Connick puts for the double,
fakes it for Cheese,
and Cheese able to keep this in play.
Connick wants to force the energy
just to give the ball back to Flick.
Give him time! Here's the pass, but you saw it!
That side flip from Fronty, he's out of play.
Now, we call that a no-flip.
There goes Chronic, shot at Rehension,
and it's Mulligan is also sent away by Daniel.
G is able to get it for free.
Flip reset from Fronty, gets a pass, but G, no!
He didn't connect!
G is averaging just a shade under a goal per game
coming into this series.
You've been good for that and an assist for a game.
But a little team now on that occasion,
will he get another shot at Redemption?
Still two minutes to work with.
Oh, good 50 in midfield.
This goes all the way across, then.
He's got a body over there in front of him,
but he turned away.
That midfield boost wasn't there for him.
And now he's got control here.
They take the corner, but this gets sent to Tommy.
Looked for the pass, but Daniel didn't have a boost.
Still doesn't have a boost.
21 versus Justin and Justin can't get it past them cheese plays in his own corner a little awkward
Bronic now on the ball has Justin. Oh, too high. It's just a kick in that either so close that's within but
NRG and you keep this a one-goal game
One of the better closing teams in the world
But even they have given up some leads late just asked
It's not a firetronik!
You think Klonik almost got out of better shot there.
It was so close.
Minute to go now.
Demo to create space.
Daniel hits it to the center, but Klonik right on top of it.
But he just starts going.
That creates a lot of...
Klonik just couldn't get the beat there on Daniel,
and now Daniel Humber keeping it close.
What a read by G is going up through the sky.
Right along the ceiling for that challenge,
but now it's gonna be Tronick from the back.
Justin forward, Cheese in support behind.
Cheese taking over as he has for much of this tournament.
Down to 30 seconds.
It's on to Tronick and Justin.
Can they get it down to Cheese in the midfield?
They cannot.
It was gonna rotate back
and Cheese does come into the play.
Tronick now in midfield.
Get that across.
He is Justin, beaten by Atomic again.
14 seconds, ball in the air, but I have to take control.
That's got to get more of the timing.
Maybe some room to work with here.
Open everybody gets involved in that play.
And guess what, N-R-G, rebound to the blue half.
Just because he gave the ball away,
she's no poose, tries to get it in the open space,
but it hits the ground.
And N-R-G spiked back after the timeout.
That's exactly what you need.
That's stabilizing presence.
There's no substitute for experience.
And NRG have it, and then some, the reigning world
champs back into the series.
Still a one-go game, very, very close
chances, I think, for quick to get in there.
Take a look at the numbers.
But yeah, NRG just did a great job
of limiting opportunities.
Five saves, I think.
Is that five shots?
I thought one shot from foot happened so fast I missed it.
You see how many from in our team?
Two shots.
I'm gone.
But it felt like that was the game they were playing stacks.
It didn't feel like, OK, we need to get the number up, so to speak.
We need to get the level of opportunities.
Don't over commit.
Play your chances and really try to break down the foot defense.
You saw it like glimpses of that, but it really goes back to that Daniel goal where get Daniel gets a lot of room to work with
Off of the passes great passes set it up, and
They're all so talented on that energy squad
They can get through to defenders if the people aren't prepared for what they have in store now
Can they turn this into more doesn't feel like momentum shifted too much?
It feels like these kind of stabilized here.
But MLG, maybe they can tie up the series here.
Let's see.
That didn't feel all that important, though.
But what have been shut up for the first time in this series
after scoring seven goals in the first two games?
Bronik, with that third, and what the second's in.
There will be no shut up from MLG here.
Look at Cheese that died.
Puts the ball in such an awful spot for the defense.
Gale trying to read it, sees the shot lined up,
but trying it was just so fast in that moment.
So NRG have to work from behind again.
Justin had that kicked out off of him,
right to the beat mode,
and a very, very quick response from the World Champs.
Look at that, it's so awkward to get the ball
and just getting into these open spaces
where the defense is playing too far away from it.
This time, it's Beast Mode with the shot.
Beautiful all-page shot to the top right.
The bump creates a deflection.
Unlucky break for Foyle.
Energy will take it.
Now working on the left side.
Chronic and Justin don't love this.
Chronic.
Beast Mode made the save.
Now Beast Mode all alone at the back
with Atomic trying to race along with him.
And he will get this one cleared.
Doesn't feel like only 40 seconds has gone by here
in game four.
Yeah, I think we go back to that kickoff.
And NRG, taking a little bit of a risk in here.
People are almost going to con out.
This one gets right in front of the pad,
and it was a very close touch out.
Now Daniel, on top of it, gets it past one.
Daniel's still working here.
He fits the foot on the back wall, trying to get this out.
They get it out, but they don't end up holding onto the ball.
NRG taking all of the time as they try to get it back
into this field.
from Justin to apply the four pressure they've got atomic way downfield he's
been there offensive catalyst here's the world championship only held to just the
single goal and a couple of sys through three games
He's done it again, just over the bar, Daniel following it up, so much trust, so much confidence
from the World Champ back in front.
That's what NRG look like at their best.
A play where it comes down to just these 10ths of a second.
Everyone needs to be aware at the right place,
at the right time, this team can do it.
They're looking for my atomic!
They might be able to rest this one off
the way NRG's going now.
Daniel gets two on the bump
and clears the runway for atomic.
NRG starter surge, still plenty of time in the game for play, over 3 minutes to go.
Justin, off the kickoff, looks for the buck.
There you go, pass to Beast Mode.
Well, they're going to let Atomic kick this one up.
At Atomic.
I played off the back wall.
He's so good at creating.
The shot almost went through. Defense, goal, I want.
Now for trying to take it the other way.
Chronic has auctions across, Justin in midfield, here he comes.
Angle down and well read defensively by Daniel.
Still point, but a chance passed!
Oh! Justin frees up with a one!
Everybody shoots, everybody scores, but Justin does it a little more often than most.
Right before the halfway mark.
Just the vision to make that cut in front of the net.
And even better to find them coming across.
And as good as an RG of playing this game,
you cannot count but out.
They've shown so much resilience halfway through this game.
They could easily turn the tables.
Justin wanted to start it off.
Big challenge for Connick.
It's B-Spo, brings it to the midfield.
NRG trying to stay on top of this ball with foot.
We've been the control.
Gee, another good 50.
Killing again, a strong 30 seconds on the cross,
but it's still maintaining that possession.
It's such a key moment.
Off the way.
On the inside for 4th throw, still two minutes to work for it.
They only need the one.
They may get it here.
Bronigal, what a clearance by B-Spo.
That one coming up just over the bar.
And now Daniel looking to reclaim a two-goal lead.
He'll sell up a cover.
Hey, the ball gets out.
Justin was in such a tough spot.
Wanted to keep the ball in the play.
See if he could bring someone, but he couldn't win the 50.
Space was created.
The left defender was low on booze.
Then you're not stopping a 2-2-1 situation
with nothing in the tank.
And our team back in a two-goal lead.
And no, this is a big game for them.
Another opportunity of the world champs
denied by the post that counts.
And now it's going to be a minute 35 for Tomix
to try and add to the lead.
Daniel looking for a shot on, and it's saved away.
Off the flip reset, did drive two though.
And NRG, it feel like that.
One more.
Would there is any doubt here at Utopia?
Oh, for sure.
They're looking for it.
I blocked the cheese.
Atomic, they can't give them this much time.
Sets up beast mode.
Beast mode, launch it off the steering wheel.
Almost got that through the defense.
This is killing all of the clock now.
Maybe a chance for a shot.
Oh, blocked away by cheese.
Final minute for 4D sports.
They got to move.
And they will not be moving in the right direction.
Cheese, back, was on an island.
Got some help.
Justin, waiting on the back wall,
watching his team break out.
Prada, shadowing, good ball forward,
and nobody on the other side of it.
Justin had to be the option late.
And you feel like that might have been the opportunity.
With that going awry, do we have enough time?
20 seconds, Justin trying to grab more heroics at the end
and still off the post, again set away.
Bronics just denied, final countdown of game four,
40 sports, about to watch NRG tie the series
and watch all that momentum just walk away.
And we are back tied here at Diggie's Arena NRG,
You're lighting up the scoreboard.
You know, sometimes it just feels like an NRG thing
where it just takes a couple of games from these facts.
And then they get back into it.
It kind of bothers me.
So, you know, at the World Championship,
they ended in a five, but we're guaranteed six here.
Only one demo of peace between footy sports and NRG.
in a game where NRG goes off for four goals.
They get a few very fortunate deflections.
The demo stat, well, this is great.
Yeah, this has kind of fit to the NRG.
The demo stat, though, Dad, is a little misleading
because there were some, there were many G-bumps.
Yeah, that opened up the net.
You saw the double bump that took two defenders
out of the way.
and NRG doing the things that don't always show up
on the scoreboard and they force foot now
to take their time out.
So foot takes two, NRG calls time out,
now Adam Baguette has all the pressure shift back on him
and his boys from footy sports.
The last chance qualifiers from NA
in the world championship.
Try and turn this around and stop NRG's momentum.
Yep, now the chess match kind of begins here
between these two because this is such
a big part of the series.
I think for foot that last game felt like they were just
a little bit out of sorts, some misreads,
as well as not necessarily being able to play their offense
the way they wanted to.
Then again, on the same side, NRG just turning up the pressure
and again, putting their foot down in that game,
it's important for foot to not let things slip away
from them, especially after the hot start they had.
Get into about the final minute of the timeout to all between footy sports and the reigning
world champions.
Spickett of world champions still to come here this evening the 2v2 world championship
the first time ever Zato and the Falcons the twins doing battle but still business
to take care of here.
Vicky's arena looking for reasons to roar.
Who will break a two-all tie between Foot and NRG?
No lead is safe.
I agree on both runs.
You know, I agree too.
I agree too. Oh, I did.
This is the vegetarian down, so I'll allow it.
The first one, though.
All right. Not the ball chasing one.
I stand on that.
Here we go. Game five. Who puts the series on max point?
Atomic. Low 50.
He's gonna get here first. Dale is on the ground, but yeah.
That one, sent away from priming.
Also got the mid boost as well. Everybody from foot boosted up here, but even on G gets passed too.
Just to take you this time. Light touch, but he gets free. Where's the shot going on priming?
Able to get the save.
That's a shot off through the demo, through the smoke screen now, Justin.
Not under a lot of the rest, but he's about to be as his pocket pick cleanly by Daniel.
There's a ball of cheese there. He'll easily beat one.
And oh, jeez, okay with that. It's the second and third man that you really have a tough time beating.
Bronnick, going head-hunting. Got it almost a drop down, Justin was waiting.
Now he has to jump into action. A pass that jeez had to make an astrobatic touch on
and still put the pressure on but NRG put unfazed on the defensive end.
They were composed, which could be dangerous for Flick.
It makes it so much harder to break through this defense.
They're doing their best.
Oh, but a little bit of space here, looking awkward. Atomic flicked up high.
These folks get dimmed by chronic.
So now, this is slowdown to play a bit for NRG.
They still maintain ball possession though.
Opportunity again for G.
Paul, he got flipped on the way through.
Still made the most out of the play.
Trying to try to go well.
Now it's Justin.
Oh, what a fake.
At the last moment, making the decision.
And it's almost worked out for foot.
Still on the attack, but not for long.
As this ball's powered away.
And it's going to go to a comment.
Drop down.
Still in play for Daniel.
Here comes Beast Mode.
Second touchdown there.
Oh, gosh.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Both teams.
He saw the save into the tee shot.
Was it our target, NRG, couple of basket,
three guys were to work with.
He's playing a free ball, expecting more there.
So far, those scammers continues,
as this will go either way.
G's will stay with the play, trying to disrupt NRG,
blow them down, that's all he can do.
It's almost impossible to stop them,
as many teams have found out, even in their human form,
As they have been this year.
Out through the corner.
Atomic.
Let that ball go. Easily clear it off through the side.
Not gonna end up a free-set at some houses.
Clear it away. On target, easy save.
Cheese. He's took that side boost in the corner.
This is a bar of time for Foot to Stripe.
Chronic can go high. Get the doubles.
Oh, no, it's Beast Mode. They're knocking away.
They know they have energy low on boosts.
Can they do anything about it?
Pronic, keeping this play alive for foot.
Still in that half-way point here of the game,
end of the series.
It feels bad!
No! Fuck that!
I'm stopping!
Unbelievable that atomic.
You have to pick a spot,
and he gets exactly right.
Oh god. Oh, I thought they were gonna keep up pressure, but again, you can see that
misery forces put to go back. NRG may have a chance here. Oh, big 50. Oh, but B-sports
could get to follow all the fights just on top of the ball. NRG trying to work through
them. Here, he's got a chance. Atomic keeps it in. B-sports got a lot of boosts. He's
got a 54. He's got to go back. This leaves Justin to try to get it out, the only
for a moment. These teams don't get beat cleanly very often on their challenges.
It leads to a lot of lot of deflections and all becomes instinct at that point.
Neither side giving an inch in game five.
Beast mode going after someone unable to find contact.
Couldn't clear the way for Daniel atomic lurking at makefield.
Beast mode will try to diamond up atomic through contact with Daniel
No way they were passed that will never get there.
Wait, he's most scared?
No way to follow for the shot.
I love what I see from the comic though,
when you get that free touch,
he seems to defend on the back wall,
trying to play it off the ceiling to go them off.
Caught a quick reset chance,
blocked away here.
We've got 30 seconds to go.
Anyone's game, both teams,
training opportunities, training questions.
When sastry, bronco timeout,
NRG came away with a 1-0 victory.
This one shaping up the same way, one way or the other, following foot's T.O.
Down to 15 seconds.
Chronix will bring it to the corner.
And off to Justin.
Through one.
Couldn't I get through two?
Cheese can!
Justin denied by Daniel.
Now Chronix, pop it up.
Over time, loaming.
Will Cheese bring it to ground?
Yes, he will.
Such a stale thing.
Something's gotta give!
Kickoff goes to Justin.
Get just the green magic off the ceiling trying to get the pass but it was blocked away more demos on the play
She's gonna come back from the demo chronic has to buy a time
50s and cheese gets involved. He takes out a topic
But trying to get past NRG but an RG still on the ball
Atomic will cycle around an easy collection there Mike chronic made it look
A lot more dangerous than it was.
Justin will just bring this down the ground
and not need to get a second touch and force it away.
Beast mode, who does he have in support?
It's a Tommik.
He had a lot of Daniel all the way at the back,
but he's going to be sure handed nobody up to challenge him.
Everybody from foot.
Way above that.
Opportunity now.
Beast mode, rock down.
Clear it away.
That was a hard save for Justin to make, but he made it.
Bill, staying close to the ball here.
It's a crawl, he's dead!
It's your passing, Justin!
Come on!
No!
Fucked up my people!
Oh, this goes right through.
Oh, it's a real one set up on the back wall.
Somebody towering out of it.
Here's Daniel.
Leave it for Atomic.
Try to relieve some pressure.
Energy need boost.
It's only Atomic with any in the tank.
Daniel picks up a full tank.
He made it!
And 70 dollars is the time it gets the clearance of Chief DeLauge!
And there's Neymar!
And a pressure!
Chief DeLauge calls you to play!
Chief!
Last match!
All alone!
And in on Chief, able to squeak it right by him.
I think he just jumped too early there, Stax.
With that goal, nobody has done it more in OT at the world championship than critical Massimo,
his ninth overtime winner at Worlds.
Wow, player who's kind of flown under the radar in some respects in the all-time go-on situation.
And that incredible save that kept this game scoreless easily either side's best chance and
Then he drops one right underneath cheese
He's getting loud. He's getting active huge goal there for an RG
As they now have the series on match point, but put not out of it by any
any margin here, because you have to think about it, Stax.
That game was so close and it could have gone either way.
We go into overtime and they just take a little too much foot,
put cheese in a tough spot,
last back in that situation.
It was gonna be tough no matter what.
They clean things up, strike first in this game, six.
Could shift things and bring us to seven.
Who knows?
Look, you can see, look at Sathu.
He's so locked in, everybody's so locked in right now.
He's getting down almost in that football coach's stance like all right boys. Here we go
The shark smell blood in the water. Here we go to the knee up to kill an energy
He's close out this research enough for not a foot
All about that first strike here
Off the corner
Bonnie
Let's keep this ain't like a good spot
Another pitch play. It was a tommy. They got credit for that shot.
NRG. Want to strike quickly here. You take the pace of the game.
Justin wants upon a time.
Four of the NRG colors.
Won a world championship with them.
A love guarantee to finally lift that trophy.
Now he watches across the way as they try to send him down to the lower bracket.
Stop him from reaching top four in his world's return.
Could it still be a triumphant return to Vicki Zarina for Justin?
That almost got over top of Atomic, but almost over Counts and horseshoes.
Justin now will bring it across.
He's got B-Smoog looking towards him.
Daniel out to meet him as well. Back and forth the team go looking for someone to blink and nobody will as cheese gets back to play.
Oh, just it's far there and there's a bump.
Making a little offer for foot. Just get able to collect here, bring the ball out.
Game on top of it. It's a chance here for Cheese!
Bob, get the camera.
Cheese, the follow-up.
And as light as touches, you can ask for it.
Another plus goal out of cheese in this World Championship.
The way this series is going, that might be the only one.
Unless NRG have something for us.
Lots of time left in game
Just so much room to work with drop see moves to 50
Take that all the way down into the blue corner at least go on top of it
Or 50s to work with energy
Don't mind playing the 50 game
That's you want to give them good field positioning and a chance to work. Yeah, you'll still can't get that around the defense
So it's gonna be tough to get past put now
That's the key too for NRG. Just winning the field position game. You hear about that a lot in American football.
You don't mind busting them all back and forth to regain incremental advantages over the course of the game.
That's what NRG is trying to do. We're down the opposition.
The less sporty sports have been up to the task more often than not. They are trailing in this series,
but they have been asked many questions by NRG's attack and answered it quite often.
Have an RG under suppression, they've got to get going.
Little bit about the creation space, beast mode.
Don't flip reset off that first touch.
Go again, it'll go to foot.
Eyeball for Grotty, has Marie for the double,
but they was there to meet him.
Maybe a cheese, just like that!
Ah!
Have a game, have a series, catch, and release.
Cheese is absolutely on one of the World Championship.
Cheese is on fire!
Right with flight need of here!
Fight in flying position to force us to set it.
Unless the defending World Chips
have something to say about it.
Justin, please consider,
Justin!
Atomic takes it for flying stars!
Man, they could be that easy, didn't you?
Justin, swatting from the corner like a fly.
And all I can do is watch helplessly.
And then RG, add yet another.
Here we go.
Hey, yo, box it up.
Looks for the bump on Chees' chronic.
He's going to be here for Justin last time.
That looks still, look, he gets so far away from Justin.
He's so awkward in this moment.
Atomic! Oh, trying to get around it.
He didn't miss my much either.
I gave him no chance, and he nearly snuck that under the cross.
Daniel double, no chance.
Thanks to Justin.
Thomas watching from the back.
Geez, now can he fall onto this ball?
I can get.
He starts just right over the house.
There's no reason to doubt anything at this point.
Oh, it's in the way, NRG.
The light, there's G-Smo in the corner.
It's shut down.
Daniel, it's in the cross.
Rodney, taking his time.
Wants to play the 50, and G-S is there in a meeting.
More 50s, more control from foot.
They know NRG are on the back foot.
They know NRG have to put a lot of pressure.
So what we're gonna do is simply the mount,
keep the ball close, and run the clock down.
Champions feel the way, Zipfut can hang on for another 40 seconds demo at the back.
Another bump on the back line.
Daniel has Atomic across but it's boomed away and Daniel can't catch him to cheese for the demo.
Cheese didn't almost do no wrong here in this series.
25 seconds.
Chronic size in. He could go for a shot.
Wow, we're going second!
Game with the air in touch, and Chronic is there to meet.
So much speed from Flick.
If you know what you think, a mistake there, there to capitalize.
Five goals from Chronic.
Four from Cheese.
Three from Justin.
And it all adds up to a game seven banger
between Bordy Sports and...
Oh, the world's in and something of this weight.
Look at Daniel doing a lot.
And plenty of time with the clock for him
to draw something above the kickoff.
Hold, hold.
Praise and worship all throughout the arena.
George, stand the man.
The ball in front.
It's tree-spotted, drop-down, full atomic.
Daniel, can't play hero.
He's not fucking dead.
We're going to camp field.
Great defensive stitch for Butch to shut down.
And RG in the final stages of that game sticks.
But it all cuts down to the next five minutes here
to see who moves on to the semis.
One of my favorite things at these events
is looking around after high impact moments like the end of that game 6.
All the fans in the arena, many through the big side of relief, many just lean back like, alright.
Here we go.
How to recover and how to brace ourselves for game 7 and even here, up in the lounge,
watching all the content creators, all the co-streamers.
They are so into it, between NRG and foot.
It's the beauty of it stacks and now how can you not fall in love with us?
We enter that slow wumble.
That moment before we enter that champions field.
Everybody getting rowdy. Everybody ready.
Dickie's arena are you ready for champions field?
Let's try that again Dickie's arena.
You ready?
Names in the banners of Championsfield.
They will have a few more in 24 hours time.
This match, this five minutes,
may go a long way towards determining which names go there.
Beast mode has atomic across.
This will fall down to him.
And nothing else through in the foot defense up to the task.
They get ready to open.
She's going forward.
Look!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Stay there!
The pressure goes through!
Acquaniq!
He has to get that inside!
What a shot!
North America having its best whenever.
And two of their best delivering a masterpiece.
I'll give them a call for the demo and still Cheese is there with nothing in the tag to make the stop.
Follow up, saved away by Justin. Here's Beast Mode. He's going to run out of juice sooner or later.
And Cheese is just waiting to collect.
Yeah, they're trying to move quickly in our team. They've got the ball where they want it.
They've been in these moments before and they bring this game back.
It's thinner, but no one there.
He's a little late.
He's trying to catch up and keep this one in.
Energy don't want to let this go.
Usually a team that values their opportunities,
they don't take anything for granted.
That's one, but not two.
Now, Daniel, the great stop.
They get this in front of the high mountains where he does,
but still powering away.
Time is waiting for it back in midfield.
This is a little dangerous as Justin won't go back
Dr. I can pitch it away Daniel with the win kept this ball in front
No boost though for atomic and he has to retreat. I couldn't get the corner
He's gonna be on zero for a while. You think these folks hit the back into the other squander
Protic, you know, I was by he's out to play he's all the time place it off the backboard
You have a topic reading on that before the defense can get there in time
3 ball for Daniel, but one already up.
You can just see foot, not letting NRG get away with anything.
Put a wedding for that opportunity.
Will NRG ever over extend?
Not often.
What if they do?
Foot are poiled and ready to strike.
All those lines.
The battery of that early goal.
Justin stuck on the wall.
But nobody else diving in.
And he can just branch out of the zone.
NRG, they're not antsy to get the ball.
the ball they know they have opportunities.
Ah!
Oh!
Too much!
Dingo!
Double!
No!
Keep in contact again!
And he almost had a strong counter, but Flip remains farmed with a one goal game.
Opportunity is about to shut him down.
Beast mode.
Tell him he was one with one more touch or if he wanted contact that's the fucking
way.
Ghost and chronic.
Jesus, down there, it's raining, I'll just cycle back.
Again, it's not foot that has to press the issue
at any point here.
You see that dangerous in-argy attack?
It just feels like it might be a matter of time.
It's for defense, really hold up for these next two minutes.
This is almost insurmountable pressure.
Another pass coming through.
Daniel, straight down, be fired!
Oh!
Oh, no!
Beast Mode sets it up, Daniel drops it down,
and Beast Mode just gets there ahead of cheese.
The world champions tie it up inside two minutes ago,
and we wouldn't have it any other way.
NRG are not going to sit down
and let you take the series from them. You don't hurt it!
This one into the midfield, Justin gets it close.
Ways it just tight enough, but now it gets away.
She's locked back, able to collect.
And the fans breathing a sigh of relief.
A minute 32 though, and they're playing more defense.
MRT really starts to work here.
Backhouse to Beast Mode.
Beast Mode off the back wall.
But it's a chronic who cannot get away.
She's never going to create anything with 23 in the tag.
That's an opportunity in front.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, man!
Now, there's the way!
Daniel, get the rest of you!
And how I draw up a here.
Oh, champion's fear.
This one gets to deliver.
No one there made for flight.
Geez, we'll use the lives of this booth to keep this alive.
It's awkward, and it drops down!
Go!
Oh!
Justin on Champion's Field!
A swag brother to Bannock!
If anybody ever has one!
Neva better duo!
Cheese!
Now on top of this foot, looking to run away with it.
And in our cheek, back against the wall, with less than a minute to go!
to go. Can they create magic again? Can't go. Take the time.
That's Beast Mode, Nick. Beast Mode, you're gonna leave it. Here comes atomic. If anyone can
set this up, he can. But it goes straight down. Right, close to the doors. Maybe it's
looking too well to come if he can't go.
Sonic had to turn back. He had about a quarter of attack, I believe.
Beast Mode will set it up for him, and Justin's having none of it.
deep into MRG territory, down to 15 seconds.
Cheese through the ceiling, and he'll waste more time
and a critical boost steal as well.
Final countdown on Champions Field.
You're the world champions of the long term.
Atomic, Natalie, trying to go on and on.
Hey, you can see the emotions are cheese.
Top four here at the World Championship.
Oh my God, it's making me emotional.
How's that blood armor looking?
Another track.
Bloody sports.
Wait, is that at the start of the year,
you would have given no chance to be in this moment,
in this spot.
top four to wins away from being the world champion.
And you just you knew they had it in us.
That's the thing.
So much.
It was just getting over the humps.
Now they're over it.
And the sky is the limit.
They are looking for that one championship trophy.
We've got cheese standing by with Leith for an interview.
Don't stop. I got cheese up here. Give them some noise! Come on!
Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!
It's unreal, man, from LCQ to top four.
This is unreal.
It doesn't feel real.
It does not feel real at all, man.
Starting to split off with zero points.
Zero points, man, to LCQ winners.
So having to play play-ins, beating good teams.
Now we're top four.
It doesn't feel real, man.
It's so good.
But it is real, man.
It is real.
And be proud of this moment.
It is the real and be proud of this moment.
Man, that series, that must have taken a lot out of you.
It looked like you guys had it on lock for a little bit there, but NRG bounced back.
The timeout here, what changed from your perspective, what changed from them that put you guys against the ropes?
I think they started playing more aggressive with demos and started controlling the ball, demoing us a lot more.
And good thing, we took a timeout after they got the two games because we had to calm ourselves down because we were just playing a little bit too fast, a little bit too shaky.
And it worked because man, we won.
Yes, you did, sir.
I was going to say, when a team starts getting so aggressive
like that and you start losing a little bit of focus,
how do you back off?
I mean, who's calling that?
Is Adam behind you?
The coach here, was it you, one of these guys?
Because it's easy to lose focus.
Yeah, and I'm in the timeout.
Definitely put some sense into us, into our game plan.
We weren't doing it three or four games.
And I have two leaders on my team.
Justin and a chronic are the ghosts man. I mean Justin. We got to talk about them right? We got to talk about Justin
He's you guys are what just he's hot top for top for 2026 man
An unreal story here from you guys I can't believe what I'm seeing and now they're gonna audience they came out here
cheering for you guys, but mostly supporting NRG. You guys have turned that
around. To have a home crowd at your back, walk me through what's in your
head here right now. Man, it feels so amazing. I love you all. Thank you guys
Thank you guys for the amazing...
Wow, that's all you can say.
Yeah, wow.
You know what, man? Go celebrate the team.
Thank you.
Make some more noise! Let's go!
The rookie of the year, this is Rocket League, is into the top four of the 2026 Rocket League
World Championship and my goodness, they had to do it on Champions Field.
Four players' names hung in the Raptors in that game that were on that field.
The team that had one player, it's a new field.
And not only that, Cheese too, you know, he's 21 years old.
pretty like that's a little bit older in the rock team has never
even been near a top eight for a major or for worlds.
And now in his first big crowd moment,
he comes up big and they're going on to the top four.
They are two wins away from a world championship time.
Two wins away indeed.
I mean, they played off of the series, man.
I kind of expected it to go six or seven,
100% at these two teams.
I mean, both being on the last two times
and last time they played it was three, two,
put in the longest five game series of all time.
It's a it's a it is really playing solid rock.
And then of course Justin, of course, he scores the game
winner on champions field.
Of course, it has to be him naturally.
No, truly, that was some of the most beautiful fluid
passing play I have seen in quite some time.
I think the only time I've seen another team this week
that it was in comparison with the Falcons earlier today.
Even beautiful series all throughout,
but it was that mindset shift that makes this team so special.
I mean, I just gotta get a real testament to Cheese right there.
He had an error in game five.
He had to jump way too early.
It was a mistake, but he bounced right back to goal in game six.
Now we're right there.
That's where the catcher we're showing here in catch top 90.
But it ain't right if you call him far.
That's the composer.
That just shows how much of a winner he is.
I'll take a spin in it.
How much he believes in the system and his team.
NLG, they got some question to answer.
Now their roles are becoming back to back world champions.
has got it significantly more difficult.
Yes, but I want to shout out for on it as well.
He came into this match, shooting 47%.
Little lackluster this time,
only shooting at 46% in this match.
This guy continues to capitalize
on every chance he is getting to keep
looking at number one on the system.
And of course, Justin versus Daniel,
the two biggest prodigies in North American history.
Justin was the original, Daniel was the next one up,
and Justin gets the Dunkin' Daniel
to win the championship.
This is a little bit of like not quite yet.
Not quite yet.
You can not pass the torch yet.
I'm not gonna get it to you just yet.
Oh, of course.
It's more like I'm taking the torch back from you.
Yeah.
He did pass it for a bit, but there's back.
I mean, listen, Daniel gave it all of that series.
He was playing in place intentionally.
He was all over the ball.
He was in front.
He was trying to make plays for in or to back.
Do you pass off the sealant?
I mean, he was doing everything.
I think he could.
These one on top of it happens to be a little bit better.
A little bit better for them.
A little bit.
Foot.
So, I mean, they keep playing like that, man.
I mean, they keep proving everybody wrong.
They keep game five, game seven,
because all the best teams in the world
now start to win them.
They can also become world champions.
And not only that, I believe they're
on the same side of the bracket.
The NA3 seed, the NA4 seed, have the NA5 seed.
One of them is going to be in the grand finals.
Let's take a look at that bracket,
because it is one of the most incredible things
that have ever happened.
On one side of the bracket, you
have team Falcons, the farming corps,
and the reigning champions of the world.
On the other side, you have some kids from North America who are just incredibly good at
this video game and will not go away.
It's been an incredible story to watch.
Every single one of these teams step up and stay consistent at the World Championship.
I think that's what makes that top part of the bracket so fun.
Like you said, it's a bunch of kids that have just been starving to get to this
point.
And somebody like Cheese, if you have followed his journey, it is so fun.
I watched him for three years at this point on so many rosters that kid started out playing on the switch
And then moved himself over to PC and his you know fanboyed his way to the top truly and now
They're sitting in a top four position
They're sitting there folks they're ready to go. We'll see them play tomorrow and maybe just maybe we'll see them in the grand final
The world championship that does it for a 3v3 action, but the show is not over for playoff Saturday
We have one more match to play there
You saw it on the schedule the 2v2
Grand finals coming up here in just a moment wins from the Middle East taking on Zen with
3000 MMR and Ado it's gonna be an incredible show and will be the crowning of the inaugural 2v2 champions to crown
Okay, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe.
It should be all set.
Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a sharp face?
or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much.
Try, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post
everything that happens online.
What?
I totally believe you.
Life is meaningless for that affirmation, am I right?
I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
can help you grow.
Milk can't stop your monster's dream of being a nail tech.
I
Rockin' Leaky Sports without context.
And all of a rather a player that was filthy.
That was pretty nasty.
Let's take one more look at that one.
It needs to be now.
That's over the reflexes.
Zema, open!
This is Rockin' Leaky!
I love my feet off the ground, but gravity take me up as beautiful as it's been.
It's time for me to go
I wanna sail away
I wanna feel the way
Thisness in my soul
I've gotta go all the way
To eternity
I will run all the way
To see you good
I've got to go all the way through time and space
If I ever see you, I've got to go
I
I've got to go
I
I wanna sail away, I wanna feel the wholeness of my soul
The final action of the day at the 2026 Rockley World Championship here for playoffs Saturday
will be the crowning of the 2v2 Rockley World Champion.
We've never done this before.
We did one deal over the first time last year and we did it for the second time just
Yesterday, CJ, 2v2, finally getting the respect of the Zergs here in the office.
2v2 as well, it's been so much fun. We haven't seen it in front of the crowd,
but the 2v2 semi-farmers that we did witness were incredible,
particularly Falcons taking on Fury, going game 7.
Unfortunately, on the other side of things, Zatso are looking ridiculous as well.
They took down Space Station, we see how well Space Station are playing in the 3v3, did you all?
It's going to be tough, but it's going to be, it's going to be firework skills.
And if anyone's played Rocket League, call up a friend and you're like,
Let's do 2v2 all night long until we win a game.
Happens to me a lot, but this is what's all about.
2v2 is the most popular mode in Rocket League.
And now we get the finally crowned 2v2 World Champ.
You sure do.
And then let's say, who better than these four players
that are still main in this grand final?
Me and Twins.
Right, that's what's best to them.
Obviously for me, and then Zen, and then so.
Domination.
How many games have they lost so far?
See, they're 48 and two.
There was a couple.
Yeah, one of them said we fought in contention school.
But they're against Space Station.
that they are looking like the best duo we've ever seen.
So it's gonna be tough.
They're playing the Twins though, chemistry, 2v2,
your brothers, it makes sense.
You're brothers, you're twins.
You're literally twins.
I can't get over how incredibly cool it would be
if Twins were the Rocket League 2v2 World Champions,
but the power on the other side,
the perfection, may I say, on the other side.
Just seems like these can be touched.
And that's the thing that is crazy
when we talk about chemistry.
You think they're comparable.
And then that's what aren't even teammates
3v3 yet, their chemistry is so good. Two's again, a lot of that is Zen becomes literally everything
around and Ato is there for the ride. Obviously tons of skill on Ato, but he allows Zen to kind of
control the flow and he just goes along with it. I think we saw now for a little bit tilted that
you got knocked out of the 3v3, played the 1v1. I don't think Zen's going to be playing tilted
today. One, it's been a day in between, obviously, but I think he's looking forward to playing
with Ato. They look like a duo that just can't wait to play every time, whether it's ranked or
here on stage in a 2v2 world final.
I'm curious, we've talked about Zen's calms a few times up here on the stage,
but the people that haven't ever gone to experience it,
he basically streamed a conference talks the entire time.
Is that unique among Rocket League players?
How he's just consistently, he doesn't barely even breeze as he's talking.
I think we just see that with a lot of Rocket League calms as well.
Obviously those guys have the connection,
but sometimes you tune into 3v3 calms and you're like, what is happening?
Unless you're in there and you're one of the players,
you have no idea what they're saying.
So it's got to be a factor here, but as we said, with the twins,
they have that just hidden connection as well.
That any communicator that their brains are the same as some of the something special there folks and they're playing for quite a lot of money here
There's a lot of money being given out to the winners of the world championship
$100,000 just for showing up and getting on the stage and losing four games you're getting 50,000
But if you went up and look extra
Thousand in the pocket. We'll see it takes on that picture. I think that's a little bit of water now
This is showing up. You get
It's been a thousand miles.
It is a show, it's like a long road to get here.
It's not the opportunity to show off.
It's a pretty monumental task, but both these teams have done it.
Only four players left in the punch, the title of 2v2 World Champion.
I wish I had pulled up the stats, so I could give you the exact number right now.
But thousands of players signed up in these open qualifiers to try and be at the spot
that these four players are right now.
Yeah, it's really cool to see when you see the teams in threes,
they all split up and have the team with other people.
Obviously we all knew Zenonato were going to be favorites in Europe, but Europe is probably the most...
It's so difficult to get out of that region, and they did it by going 44-1.
The greatest tournament in RLCS history in the first time in two is insane.
And there's no pressure as well with them, or there's no doubt about how they can play in front of the crowd.
You've got the old champions on one side, Ato as well, major champs.
So I think for both players, both teams, both Juo's, it's going to be their very best, which is what we want to see.
then I'm going to feel the nerves, the pressure and Zato have to be heavy favorites, which is crazy to say against the Falcons.
How much is a heavy favorite?
I think 9 out of 10 people you ask would pick the Picks out, so maybe more actually than that.
9.5 out of 10?
I guess we'll see.
I'm going to see and ask half of the fans over there.
90% I'd say.
For the people at home, we've been referring to no misjust fakers Zato and Zen and Ado together.
No misjust fakers.
That's the name they chose, because the name is to keep rolling, but that was a nice ring.
I mean, I will say for the Falcons, duo, the Twins, they have been tested all the way
Game 7 against 5-1-1 over there, meaning they're all the way Game 7 already here on Thursday
against Peria.
That'll no time.
Folks, it is time to crown a 2v2 World Championship here in 2026.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
God, it's absolutely magnificent!
I don't feel like doing the tournament against Perzatz.
I don't feel like that the best, you know.
I think I'm going to do the things I'm going to do, you know?
We're maybe the smartest players in the world, I think.
And we just made it, we're better than everyone else.
Roaz takes his flip, plays the patient game.
Oh, it's a cry-and-play! It's a cry-and-play!
Oh, it's fantastic! You're the best!
Two killers!
I know that we will win. I have no doubt in that.
So I just want to prove that Syrah feels better than everyone else.
It's really...
It's really good stage to get the tip, so just the best plan was to pay 2 weeks of shedda and we'll just fight it.
Brothers by blood! Brothers in arms!
We're awesome killers!
Team Falcon!
You better bust it out.
You better bust it out.
You better bust it out.
And their opponent weighing in at a combined five thousand six hundred MMR by Cavalry
face to face, head to head, don't they all look confident around the end. And I'll say,
I'll say these are four of the best 3v3 players in the world, top five. You have Veteer in here
and you've got your top five probably at all rock and league. So these guys know how to play
every single mode. And this one is going to be a battle to the very end. I mean,
you just got talking about the video, the videos we watched rising to match. Lyr said,
My brother and I will try our best.
I said, I will give it all.
I said, ooh.
And it's this thing.
It's my move.
Come on now.
You know, it doesn't get much better than that.
But you've got to say something.
The feet up there with your brother,
they always walk out of a teammate,
but they're walking out together side by side.
You're twin at this stage, at this level.
How many pairs have you got to be proud of?
It's been a land of storylines as well.
The worlds of storylines you see,
Justin in the 3-D 3.
Unfortunately, on the other side of these,
That man right there is in 3,000 NMR in ranked if you don't mind.
2600 combined, a 5600 combined.
As Zach said, this drawing felt like I would call him for 2v2.
I mean, listen, that's the most my cherished Ato is going to get all weekend.
He's got something in.
I'll tell you this Ato, if he wins this, he's got a chance tomorrow to win the 2v2
World Championships and the 3v3 World Championship.
And maybe that's what he needed.
Play was in the tunes, can taste the odd girls,
and win a World Championship to go get it tomorrow.
So I also picked him up way back in Paris because I knew Zen and Ato were going to be practicing.
And I was like, this is going to elevate Ato back up to that major performance you expect out of him.
He looked fantastic in Paris.
He's looked fantastic this tournament.
And Zen, unfortunately, out of the 3v3, but can still get a world champion title right here.
Well, it did work out for the gentleman with NAS taking out the 1v1 world championship.
They got knocked out today, so maybe it's not a good sign if you do win this 2v2 world championship.
Isn't that interesting? We've got EU versus me and here we had the same story in the 1v1 and I haven't figured out how to play once or two just yet
The three look pretty good. You're talking about this being for the best
Brevy three players as well those two are two of the best 1v1 players in the world both making deep runs into their brackets this year and
It makes so much sense fates given that 2v2 is sort of the blending of the two game modes
It really is because I mean ones is this the pinnacle that you can't make any mistakes one error
and you're done. Two is this combination where now you have somebody behind you and especially
nowadays I think two is kind of the eclipse even wins in terms of players are now taking
a lot of risk that they can recover so quickly and they get back so fast they also got that
Zuch, Sherry back to that Zuch at this level so this kills our momentum gives yourself time
and that's why these players are all here. That man on stage he pined it, the Zantouch,
the Zuch as well and I feel like as soon as Vitality go eliminate Gipsy's focus went
straight to this 2v2 final. Listen I'll say this. It's fine man that's like so really quick
We've talked about North America all weekend long, but Europe has a chance to win all three tournaments as well
That's when the 1v1 Zenon Ato favor here in 2v2 and obviously K-Corp is looming in that 3v3
I mean, I'll say this. I'll say Ato has a chance of winning this and winning the World Championship
The win's due too. I was just looking at Ato that whole time. I was thinking about like, wait, the most efforts to win this
They kind of have multiple people win two's World Championship and a three's World Championship
It doesn't get much better in this wave, especially at this event when we're bringing in the 2v2 World Championship
It just makes sense. It feels like a little bit of a clashing of styles here, too. I feel like the Falcons sort of play
maybe a bit more of a traditional 2v2 style of like passing the ball back and forth.
You're gonna move it up feeling kind of a three-style where generally it feels like I was just trying to turn this into a 1v1 matchup for Sam.
He's the best first man in the world. I think I think we can say that pretty comfortably out.
So he has pioneered the role of just grabbing boosts and then he always leaves the ball in the corner.
He's looking for a demo if he gets one. It's fantastic. He gets two. It's a goal for Casey. Exactly.
you want those one view one plays then to have those chances to be just one
member about can he get it done folks let us know if you think that they're
going to win who you think's going to win let us know the press of them though
CJ is it the twins or is that just with how dominant zato I mean I don't want to
be the person to not predicts it will potentially is the best duo in rock
league history and the first two be too well chance I think it's going to
be zato I love the fairy tale of the twins but give me no miss just fake
It's 3,000 MMR on Zen and Ato is probably a better player than him in threes right now
with Zen.
I have to go Zen and Ato.
They look so fantastic.
I mean Zen and Ato man, what are they 48 and 2 right now?
The twins that go to game 7 in the last two matches.
They won't be seeing game 7 this time around because Ato, they're going to hand the business.
They're going to hand business.
Give me Zen and Ato.
Zen and Ato, no mischiefs, fake.
Two with two world champions.
Now I know where he's going to go.
I know him so well.
I'd say it I want to pick the Falcons because the story would be so brilliant
But I cannot doubt the evidence of my eyes. They are too good
Give me no miss just fake a will be the champions of the two-to-two's folks
How does the coin feel about a falcon's on one side the combination vitality and farming or on the other end of
The sky and it comes up the Falcon for the coins here, so we'll see we'll see if they can get it done
But brothers is a duo champ. I just thought it's such a cool
It's incredible. He surprised me. You surprised me. You missed a story. Your story line, twin brothers, you'd expect it.
They're too good.
It's just a testament to how good Zen and Atahua that we have twin brothers that are two of the best
broccoli plays in the world and went not predicting them.
Yeah, it's going to be wild. I feel like with Zen, you know, he wants to get another world championship title.
However, he possibly can and here's his chance at it. It's going to be hard to take him down.
If your predictions weren't designed, how good we think no Mr. Spake is.
Look at the chat prediction, 84% folks.
This shows you how monumental the win it would be for the Falcons.
And yet for some reason it doesn't feel like it would be a surprise.
I don't know.
I mean, you wouldn't be surprised.
There's an uber talent to it.
It's just like the odds are just so low.
Then we just 3,000 MMR playing all these players solo queue, basically.
And that means he's not losing.
I mean, wait, probably 90% of his game is because the best of the game.
He's basically going to win four games to everyone at the highest level against Crows.
He's playing out to every time. It's crazy folks. It is time to kick off the 2v2 grand finals
The story was written almost as soon as we made the announcement for the first time ever
We will crown a 2v2 world champion
the dream matchup has been there from the beginning and
And fate has delivered a final truly worthy of this historic moment.
It's the uncontestable chemistry of family.
Measured against the most powerful duo you could possibly assemble.
France and Saudi Arabia destined to do this dance forever.
And now these Rocket League mega powers sent forth their top pair
air to fight for the first ever 2v2 championship. It's Sato and the twins in your doubles grand
finals.
At the end of a generational run, Xenonato trying to put the cherry on top of it.
The lost but the killer's standing away here in the 2v2 grand final games.
It's not the first time we've seen a generational run from Xenon.
Whether it was the show match run before he went on a tear with his perfect split
into a world championship ending
But Rolyas has stood in the way before and he's got his brother here to help
Rolyas who had
Himself an excellent series earlier today in 3v3
It'll help me and killers can have a similar kind of performance
Big task for sure as the desk set it up James 48 and two
so far in 2v2 for Zen and Ato.
My foggy league, Torbi. Absolutely my foggy league.
I even just do that in ranks.
But let alone the world championship
or the 2v2 game mode, it is truly jaw-dropping.
We've been trading balls in the air.
Ato!
Put it in, what were you saying?
Ato makes it look so easy.
They were saying it's sent.
Ato's job to set up that.
Well look, it's that set up Atoe.
Beautiful play.
That can play ball.
And what was it like if we said Atoe's just
there to make it a 1v1 for Zen?
But Atoe has had many, well, a real plays himself.
And here he will.
Trying to show the loss out of the way.
Killers with the pass.
And Zen, absolutely handled there.
Bring it right back down.
It's a juxtaposition of approach on the interview.
The humble approach from Team Falcon's meanwhile, you have Zen say, this is my mode.
He's certainly proven it so far, but this is a good push.
Killers out of four, couldn't find the touch.
Atoh right back out to Zen.
Lost base here.
Atoh turning off and zoning out the loss.
a loss giving an angle percent. That's okay. Killers was right on top of it.
That's still Zato. Doing a great job. Cute possession of this ball. Give it right back to
Zen. Hot shot. See if the Falcons are willing to give them the midfield to defend a couple of these.
To defend there well enough a loss. Want to be best if not the best defender in the world.
Nice cut there. You can see the pressures on. That's why when free ball goes airport
The loss doesn't want to jump doesn't have a lot of moves the jump is late now a chance for Zed to go to work
Going for the backboard the double is denied nice cut from Killers to deny that no moves for a loss
It's a ball right after he got there and
That was the difference until we got buffed he doesn't care send sends it up. That's a won't go
Falcon is the other way quick shot save by Atoe now Killers
Bring him into a dribble
Goes low on the 50%
Pick it up, another 50%, get back to it.
That's a challenge for Barwas.
Barwas up against Ato. Ato denies that ball,
and will get the corner boost. Very well done.
Ato with a flick!
Last save for Barwas! Reboot!
No, not with a man!
It looked like that was a certain goal!
That is what Team Falcons are known for.
Those last second saves.
For Roas, not the play he was hoping for there.
He almost conceded through possession to Zedden.
Alphonse turned away, get that ball back.
Killers were eating Ato there well.
We might have been wondering how
top 10s would stand up to this duo so far, doing pretty well
as well as they can.
Zato, he had the better of opportunities.
But Alphonse had had a couple of pushes.
Roas is deep back, keeping it one now.
Ato has been brilliant so far.
Oh, no.
And that double reach had to do a bump.
Zen, how's the shot?
And Galeon was not gonna get to it, Zen.
To the perfect pick on that shot.
Killers getting bumped.
That gives Zen enough space to line that up.
He is not gonna mess that up.
And it has been so much possession
for these two.
Zen and Ato working so well together.
And then also you have to watch out
for those bumps from Ato.
He loves to go for the debuts. He loves to go for the bumps.
Xen off the ceiling with the reset for taking away.
Xen coming back, allows only 12 boosts.
Gonna skip over, but he gets deleted on the play by Atoe.
Xen with a great landing off that wall.
And he gets through, but it's off the post. Atoe.
And the reposition off the bounce.
Falcon's hoping to get this downfield. Back to Killers.
Killers, size up on the 50, but they keep having the push.
Almost no boost.
Now this is a consistently start.
Even though he lands that bomb, Zed will still get this ball.
Gonna try to pick up the niggas.
50 goes right back to Killers.
Killers.
Skipper on Zed, toss it over Atoe.
This is a chance for team Falcons back down to the ground.
Zed also getting a hand up on that follow-up shot from Killers.
Really good idea from the loss to set the 2nd deal.
The defense too good from Zed.
The loss getting up again by Atoe.
That zoning is really preventive.
Falcons are getting it going.
R'Ala's coming back to the ball in the reset.
Wave dash 50 right back to Killers.
Killers skips it up.
R'Ala's got a full tank of boost.
We'll get one touch here, but he's off his mark, off his line,
and it's easily knocked away.
That's the touch he's looking for, but still...
One of the more promising attacks from Team Falcons.
Killers bail out, leaves it for R'Ala's.
Brown to air.
And Zed on the ceiling for R'Ala's.
He's cooking! Backward pass!
Oh, saved the f***ing wide!
Excellent defense from no misjustmaking.
They are going to lock in this first game.
I'm trying to get one more for the road, but Ato won't even give him that.
And what a start here for Zen and Ato.
Not just getting it done earlier on offense, but also having to play some defense at the end of that game
and doing it excellently despite some good pushes at the very end there from top
there there were some good pushes you're right Gordy's like it just goes to show
you how talented these two are now 49 and 2 on their 2v2 run here in the RLCS
like you said generational one great game from Ato as well Ato receiving that
pass from Zed landing a lot of his bumps in demos getting sense of space
he was able to knock in that second goal even defensively Ato was
I think Ato is a player you really have to look at here, you know
If he can somehow manage to win the first ever 2v2 world championship
He's still in it. He could go back and win it in 3v3s as well
So Ato, he is having a season to remember a season for the history books if he can somehow pull this through and right now
They look like the heavy favorites after that first game, Jorgen. There were a couple of key moments as well
Well, you think that Roaz had a 1v1 against Zen, but Roaz couldn't get the midfield boost.
Spawned right after he got there, and then Ato kept bumping him, right afterwards.
And even once where he wasn't really bumping Roaz, he was zoning him out.
Falkid's almost scared to approach the midfield because Ato is constantly threatening.
And it goes back to what Zen said in his interview.
He said, we are the most intelligent players in the game when it comes to 2v2.
And that is a perfect example of that game IQ there from Ato.
He always knows where to beat.
He always knows how to make you think that you can get to that boost first.
Or you can get by when you can.
They keep their own going.
Zen with a reset shot.
Already getting the first try.
Go off-down field.
Actually lead to go get the midfield boost.
Swing back around for the pass for Xen and Ato.
No awesome killers with the set.
Good save. Xen perfectly timing his dodge and he gets the boost.
He's constantly forcing Falcons into either unfavorable 50s.
Forcing them the whole way back to their own half to go get resources.
They're stuffing them right now.
They can't really get the ball away from Xen Ato.
This is much better from Team Falcon's pressing forward
while boomed down field.
Now pass up to Rwass. It's intercepted.
Rwass has to be careful here.
It's a double commit. They're low-boost as well.
Ah, so scooped it away with a reset.
Sen with the catch.
Beautifully done. He can dissolve this all day.
And he will.
Moved away from Rwass.
Falcon's doing up here on defense.
Transition.
lost with another rebuff.
Killers will get a chance to,
these givers will also chance to get some of the love.
And he gets bumped out of the way.
And here comes that, such a great bump from Atto.
That sets up the air travel play for Zandie.
It looked too easy this time.
You set the bump, paving the path.
Roll off having to jump from his own corner
and it was a basic air dribble from Zandie
to get the job done.
Again, that is where the IQ comes into play.
Atto's not even trying to get a touch of the ball,
better yet, just gives in the space, go for the bump instead.
The loss, actually got a good kickoff.
Look, it's going to go!
And they finally find the back of the man.
And now we've got a game, Jor-Bee.
Little poke around, Zed.
Going to get that quarter, who's giving the loss a lot of space.
And look at how picture-perfect that flick was.
If that wasn't yet, that wasn't a picture of how close it is as well.
Zed literally pixels away from saving it off the bar.
And what a pinch here.
Xen has a little bit of space.
Quickly up to the air.
Drop down, hit the corner.
Atom will wait to see how it develops.
Looking at killers.
Just trying to drive through the challenge.
Never really an attention to actually going for the ball.
The next boost grab, that was gonna force him back.
Now the shot, Atom.
Turning Atom to the side for Was.
Pressing forward.
trying to make things awkward, trying to waste the boost.
That'll take it from the zone backboard
with a full tank reset.
Dangerous, but he didn't get the block.
And now, Killers all the way downfield.
This will be a backboard bounce.
Killers tough, free.
10-thousand more rebound.
Roloss!
Oh!
It's in line by Atoe!
No Rolosses, couldn't sneak it behind Atoe far enough.
Atoe with a good flip forward.
Falcons, Killers, it was tight.
He did have a defender coming back
the challenge of on the play, Axel gets around this with the Reba, setting up Xenna, and Rolloffs having to die with him.
No boost, Killers gets his canister, Axel will be back waiting for him, Xenna comes out of the way.
This is gonna be space for Axel, grab the air dribble very quickly.
Eh, we did get the reset, he had to go for a little push there, because he wasn't able to get that reset.
Xenna gets the boost and push clears up on two wheels.
The long flip with nothing.
Killers.
Has a full can.
Back to the side.
Zen.
Have the canister wait for the push.
If he goes right up and easily enough handle here.
Find no misjustment.
Another good win.
And there's a demo on Zen.
Free numbers again.
It's also where he's grabbed.
He's trying to slow things down.
So Zen can get back into the play.
Get back to Rwass. Rwass, they shot low beam.
Hit to the side.
Do you like how Falcons are approaching this?
They are trying to get a little more physical.
From 4, they're just trying to find each other on the wing.
The Bruce problems are still a problem.
Here comes Sian and he couldn't get the touch on his line.
Oh, that was a hard hit, Jeremy, but you know what he wanted to do?
He's going for that double tap.
Just off.
We've got a couple good stops or no misjust fate. They weren't able to put away. They're letting team Falcons aim around
Missed it sent challenge by killers with that leaves the net
This is so hard to defend
Be here
See for a while coming back. No, she just needs to get that first net as soon as possible
Possible staying above that ball making sure you can keep that momentum forward
Great composure from Ato take advantage of that overextension from team Falcons
Zen
Demoing her loss and Ato puts him on the ball and this time Zen pulls his best Ato and allows them to get the goal. That's a great demo
Ato gets the composure
This controls that ball killer as well as he's out of position.
Ato knows it as well.
Their fist bump celebration looks the exact same.
Every time they've got that down to a tee, they've been practicing it a lot
in this 2v2 tournament as Ato sets in a call back to send.
And I think I've seen the loss.
Oh, damn, coming out from the ditch!
This is set to game mode!
3 set through the content and gets the double!
Beautiful play for Zen.
And just another day at the office for no misjusting.
Falkins were hanging in this for a long time.
But the lead is broken.
Here at game number 2.
What can a lost killer do?
Trying to adjust and to get the goal with a flick up.
Now the only way to save is still learning.
I don't know how that was even remotely close
Killers great, but that is the right play call within Zen save his clip until after the contact
to try to stable the right lies himself and try to get that same to the corner
But still team Falcon's power through this is plenty of time left
Gonna need one quick
Fast killers
Flash, flick, from Loss, but all right off is a side,
about the killers, looking for the loss.
He doesn't have a lot of boost though.
The killer's a band in it.
If there was any time you were just gonna go,
that was it with this amount of time left,
and that is a clear way from the rest of the time.
Decent look from Team Falcons at the end.
He's weren't able to get the read off the backboard,
his head rotating out of the play a bit too early.
But it is so difficult to play against Zen and Anzo.
They have been brilliant.
And they add another win onto their tally, 50, and 2.
And 2 more to go to the crown themselves champions of 2v2.
Ato starts to need to start giving himself a little more respect.
Saying, I'm just happy to be Zen's teammate.
He's the whole reason for this series.
Ato has been all over Falcons.
Zen obviously giving the MVP honors, but we all have eyes.
And also, you know, you have to appreciate and recognize that look at the common denominator of
Ato Zeeps
This three's team still in it still fighting for the world championship right now
He is a part of one of the most dominant tournament runs that we have ever seen in the history of our game
He's hopeful but anyone with eyes can see that he is unreal
He is the key to success and he is stepping up on the world stage.
Notice Renato was playing his 3v3 today. He didn't have those glasses on.
But a 2v2 when he played against Agrivioli had him.
And he comes out on stage. Same day, they beat Virtus Pro.
He has glasses on this time. Falcons will have to put their glasses on.
Try to peer into the ether and find an answer that no one else has.
How do you take more than one game off of this team?
I think you're also going to need a thinking cap as well.
Because right now, it seems like there's no options.
You can see both players for no mischief space, Zen and Atom.
They are so good at getting one another space,
going for bumps that completely catch their opponents off guard
and then give their teammates so much space to work with.
They're also not afraid to go for passes,
which can be very risky.
And 2v2, we haven't seen a ton of that
from Zenonato today, but we know they have it in their playbook.
They used it last round in the semis.
It just feels like for Team Falcons,
they cannot find that possession.
They are being smothered by Zenonato.
I mean, smothered also in the boost game.
How often are they just completely starved?
And you wouldn't think that you would see a team so
consistently starved in 2v2, where you should be able to grab
your canisters a little bit more,
but they're always having to go farther and farther back
to go get them, the field control and field management
from Zen and Atom.
Also, a level above the Watson Killers.
They don't seem to have an answer for it.
However they can get more resource,
however they can build pressure,
they're gonna have to figure out a way to do it.
They only got two more lives left.
Timeout is over.
We move on to future regard.
No miss, just fake.
They see the finish line now.
There's two more games.
It's been dominant.
Xen might be out of this tournament, but he still wants to add the World Championship title to another mode to his name.
Achar driving through the challenge. Actually, it loses the boost there. Xen, sidewalk, wave dash, and we'll try to just keep playing it away.
Back up, again, his corner boost. Right down into the crowd, Falcon's already under some immense pressure.
That's how with another demo to the far side.
Killers, he can get something going, but again, pushing the hall doesn't have any boost.
We'll have a tank here, gets a grade 50.
Horses in to make a play and he will.
Nicely handled by Zen.
Little bit of space now for Killers, gonna go for a 50 off the back.
We're shot opportunity.
The slow down, but Walsh didn't pull the trigger right away.
He was trying to slow things down, see if he can get the defense to commit.
Just didn't work out for Team Falcons.
This time Xenon that's our call for a little bit on low boost.
Now Falcons not in the position to take advantage.
Roost past the killers.
Killers shot immediately denied.
Just when it looks like the twins are starting to fire.
Get it quite fine.
Ignition.
It's because Xenon comes too quick.
They're also thinking ahead.
They didn't dive.
for that backboard hit almost expected Roas to slow things down.
Killers, good move.
With that dash around the corner, air dribble goes for the bump,
Zan already on top of him.
There's Atoe!
Demo's Roas instead, Zan going for Killers, Atoe still with the ball
and drops it down.
Roas will come out but he still gets poked out here.
Roas cut around Atoe, flies for the fifth deeper, can't get back to him.
And that is another moving clear.
Yeah, Killers handles it, actually dips that space.
You don't wanna do that!
No punitive!
Make the ball go for the bump!
Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.
Killers have to respect Zen shooting the ball,
and Zen knows that all day he just pops it against the back wall
and takes killers out of the equations.
Smartest players in the game.
When it comes to the World Championship,
sometimes you don't have to be flashy.
You just have to get the job done.
And now we see them doing it.
Altona to be won!
They're tall! They're trying to beat them at their own game!
But it's Sam's game!
Atto, it's his game! Killers!
Finally, walking in the controller!
One-to-one!
Now's like Killers may have taken offense.
Beautiful!
Ball dash, they're getting to the ball just in time!
Deep Falcon stabilizes, it's not too late.
Roy, he's headed atto, playing against Atto and Reveal in the semi-final.
They took the first two games easily. Game three, they started to come back.
Eventually did take a game.
Toppkins at least trying to match that mark right now.
Downfield for Atom.
Zen.
Feel like every touch in this lobby is a reset for Zen and Atom.
Killers will get bumped, throw loss.
Over to find Killers. Killers gets that boost.
Trying to recover on this touch, but he goes back to Roll-Off.
This is working out now for Falcons.
Did it work with a good demo? Roll-Off, Killers!
That should be good! He gets it!
Not gonna save that one! Killers!
And Falcons get their first lead of the series.
I pretend it's late there. Killers laying that demo.
Crazy that that one got saved at all.
Killers was ready to turn and get that rebound opportunity.
Team Falcons are not going down without a fight.
Continuing to adjust. Haven't been at-star killer.
Kind of playing Atom's role.
Hanging away for a loss.
And that kind of funny is...
One time it goes and went on a long, long streak in a 1v1 game mode.
And uh, there was a guy on this pitch that ruined that streak.
For once, blinded killers will open up the space for Alonso talking about Ato opening up space for Sen.
Look, this one has played out a little differently than that. Here comes Killers with the catch.
By the size up on the 50, Alonso takes the aggressive approach, then has to turn back around.
Ato takes his own boost and a dead play.
Ato's really nice 50. He tried to get it by Alonso and does, so it's from Alonso.
B1, the dribble is not away from him.
How's that's going to take it all the way back?
It's the ghostful field.
He will pick up the corner boost.
Someone needs to get up and challenge.
There's the first reset.
And do a 50, and that's it for the corner.
The loss grabs the corner boost.
But that's it with a backflip challenge.
You can't get possession.
This is a much better showing from T-Falcon.
It's now going for the extra touch.
It straight up the gut.
Killers bringing it back.
The job from Falcons, maintaining possession.
Sees that out trying to French control away from them right now.
But Rolos will not let them pass over.
Our thing started to shift in this game.
What is that?
It's holding!
Here they go!
The ball!
The Killers prevents them from going on.
How's the goal?
They can't kill them!
The ball!
The ball!
The pressure from that dough.
Built in, built in, built in.
And you can see, zero boost for both players on Team Falcon Z, not panicking at all.
Keep it as cool.
Falcon's were doing a good enough job there, holding that lead.
Keep it possession.
Lost. Now backwards.
Go get the midfield boost.
He plays it aggressively just to swing it out, and also get that corner-boost instead.
Ten, carry down, feel the loss.
Lance it, killers.
Keep it going.
Ato swings on the back wall.
Off the ceiling.
Ato wants to give it one last try.
wants to give it a one last try.
Recent underneath it presents nowhere near across.
Now, sweet killers.
Uh-oh, one more.
Oh, there we go!
Attaboy!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Get fucking steep!
Oh!
And sink!
Falcon, take the first game from Zen and Atom.
And what a way to do it.
Fuck!
Man!
I want to see the replay again!
I know!
The 2-on-1 killers was off ball, he had to get the pump.
I mean, it's one of those moments where you immediately recognize, oh no, we're in trouble.
I'm in danger.
Started more the same than what we saw in the first two games, even though Falcons were able to get a goal in game number two.
Killers, like you said, a great wall dash around the corner
to make that play happen.
And then this play as well, from a loss of Killers
to take the lead.
They held that lead for a while.
But Zen ripped them all away from Killers, tied things up.
And then at 0-0.
Oh, man.
All the pressure is on you.
You hate being in those situations as a defender
because you try to plan a route where not only can you
dodge the bump, but you're still close enough
to deny the shot.
and just a very difficult position to be in.
The ball was so well controlled,
the pace that the ball was going as well on the attack.
So that was a near hopeless situation to be in
as a defender.
Perfect execution though for Team Falcons.
Another loss now added to the record
of no miss, just fake.
And I tell you what, Jarvie,
doesn't really matter how good the record is
once you get to the grand finals.
What matters is if you can do the final job,
If you get these last four wins, because no matter how pretty the record, it's the title that happens.
Every single series could be a last.
Only one of these teams holds the title at the end of this.
The Falcons, now trying to do, no team has been able to do.
Get Kugin!
In a series of this team, Killa's in the low 50.
Who's around one? Ato.
Having to avoid the threat of the bubble.
The loss was slain there, trying to get the 50 to kill us.
Look how fast Zed got to the ball with a reset over one.
And the loss is there to take the save,
but Atom will take his boots.
Atom actually denied there by the loss,
and Killers will make sure that they can't go.
That was a really good touch from Atom.
But the loss side coming was able to break up that play.
But now Zed went for a 50 hook.
We could get a backward bounce for Atom,
but Zed got handled by Team Falcons.
Half the take here for the loss.
Jesus' brother in the opposite side of the field.
Cosmos a little slow and ends up getting intercepted and now Atto on the attack.
Smart for Coach. Killer's not to go!
Back in it! Atto! With a little flash!
That's the first goal! And that's the dangers of passing a 2v2.
You try to get it over to a teammate.
Sometimes your pocket gets picked and that time Atto punishes Team Falcons.
The interception returns for a goal.
Dillon is realizing really too late when he decided to turn off the bit now. Perfect kickoff for Zen! Zen!
Connick, he didn't get the power that he was hoping for. Aiming for the top shelf.
Ato, actually turns right back around.
Wanna pinch there for a loss. Forces them that quickly.
So Ato out of the way. He doesn't get the boost though.
And Zen gets another way out. Here he goes again.
to seal it.
Get over a flick, rebound is gone!
Zed hits it with a baseball bat!
An asshole!
It's amazing!
Two nothing now, but Ole Miss just made it!
Those looked like a slick shot!
Very 40.
Mountains.
Just what we thought.
Maybe they could get their way into this.
Maybe one slight error on the pass from earlier in that time
Earlier in that time, just all Zen and Atoe lost both of them to Atoe here.
It wasn't trade, now the space.
Here for no misjusty. Quickly getting the reset. It is deflected, but you're seeing the mechanics on display for both Zen and Atoe.
Truly inspirational what they're able to do off all. Now that shot off the bar.
The Falcon's trailing back to get something going.
Cameraman being swung laterally into the Falcon's.
Velos doesn't even get a piece of the 50 killers.
Failed them out for now, but Sen getting back to the wall.
We'll have to trust him.
Velos, this is for Aso to get back a little bit.
That bison is just the second of time.
Sen's getting up down to play. This is a chance.
But immediately, Aso is on top of killers.
It's the recognition from Ato. He knew that he was in a 2v1 situation. Had to go right away. Didn't hesitate.
Actually caught. He felt it by surprise. And now, on the attack, Ato going for the double tap!
Ato in the beauty!
That's when you pass the ball! Ato in perfect position!
What a pass! From Zell and the beauty double tap for Ato!
You increase the lead!
Wow, Azo has been impressed.
Doesn't matter the game mode.
What can Falcons do?
Pile the ceiling.
It slips through again and it gets worse here for Falcons.
No mischief made by the speed. Absolutely inevitable.
All four goals of this game have been for Azo.
And Joe is on a tear!
He's been making his name in 3v3.
Continues to make his name here in 2v2 with Zen.
Velas back on the line.
A lot of story for these two players.
Taukin's doing what they can.
Their team also still in the 3v3 tournament.
Let's end looking as clean as ever.
Roas will try to get something going here.
Force Falcons, Roas, Papa.
He can use all of his boosts just to get back for a 50.
He'll smell a little bit of desperation.
I'm on it!
Right over Killershead!
He is not getting that!
This game, falling apart for Team Falcons, Roas.
Helping out on that pitch.
You can see the trail.
It's blue.
And this game belongs to the orange team. No misjusting. Five to nothing over team Falcons.
Another try here for Falcons. We've still got one game.
But a pop shot is all I can muster off the kickoff.
Somehow doesn't get a reset there.
It's happened earlier too.
two looks like he gets it doesn't send three rain on the fall off the ceiling
we're gonna save them from a loss at this point or after it said you can
almost start going for your montage shots this one blocked it give us a
preach on why not we saw what these guys can do plan they're just feeling
that confident but now to take some risks why not
you found your fault on safe some base here will they get one yes they
They will, a very little free shot on Sheldt, that's a one.
And a little ways to go.
They don't get many of these.
You catch and Zen on the loose.
You get a clean pass in the midfield.
All the loss has to do is put it to the top Sheldt
and Zen's got no chance to save it.
There's probably about two of those opportunities
they've had in this game.
Roll off, get to another goal.
Okay.
One eyebrow raise.
I mean, that's what you need to do.
You need to get some kickoff goals.
They find one.
That's a huge dunk up.
You can breathe there from the loss.
Kind of watching what Zep was going to do.
Yeah, Zep maybe thought that the loss was going to try
to veer in many forces.
Shot.
And then the loss just kind of straight-lined it anyway.
Nice job from the loss for sure.
Killers going backwards.
Leave the demo.
Mishoud, leave the loss getting the save.
Killers will respawn right in front of the ball.
They need to go like right now.
And it might be.
Uh-oh.
And it might be!
Uh-oh!
Other stuff.
Looks like Zen had it lined up,
but still freshest time ticking off the clock.
Over the 30 seconds remaining.
Don't miss Just fate.
They are looking unstoppable.
Backwards.
Call for the bicycle.
Still can't work out for them, but...
I want to fight from Falcons at the end of this game.
Trying to get it going rebuild some of the confidence
Don't miss just fate
One more game
So they are the two feet to champions great shot there, but they are now 51 and 3
Don't miss just fate
Continue
And then has had us in awe of what he's been able to do before, the perfect split, the world
championship.
Essentially, beating Rocket League.
But since then, it has not been the journey that he had hoped for.
9-12 finishes at the world championship, but so many people, including himself, still
believing that he is world champion material.
And he's got a chance to prove it once more with one more game when Ato as well has been the teammate of a lifetime
Ato, so many goals in this series, so many intense moments where he's come out on top
Ato, he and Zen have been a dynamic duo
Zen with a little hand wave at the end, what can they do?
The answer is absolutely nothing but you're absolutely right James. I mean Ato
He's been more of that story in this game. We talk about Zen
How long he's played in the vid how long he's played individually as one of the best players in the world Ato has been in that conversation
Not just now not just this weekend in the past as well and really showcasing his stuff Zen
Doing a great job
being his compliment and
And this duo is just simply unbeatable Falcons.
Get one more try at this to the twins.
And one last press.
They're trying to get a second game.
Already, a good start here for them.
It's just Faye to Sean.
Denied.
Killers had to stretch.
Tenenato half-boost on the attack.
It feels fast.
Anato doesn't want to commit.
Now, Dodgers to Bump.
A lost with a nice, clear-down field.
And does it get the corner?
It actually let Zen commit to that.
He was going to try to catch him out on the shot.
But Zen had the angle covered.
Now, I think we're lost, though.
If I take this cruise, I'm getting demoed.
Zen was flying in and now Zen is trying to squeeze it.
Lost.
Chain dash on the side, waits for that midfield poof.
Killer sense.
And forget it.
I'll just take it.
And to the end of it, and squeeze
off the inside of the post by Atom.
Rolls will go again.
He gets through one.
The board did that.
gets to a tunnel!
So fast to be in!
And it will be!
Falcons are still alive!
Not giving up!
And click for RoLawz dodging to the bump.
You can see a boost around the contact.
That's what he's trying to take him out of the play.
RoLawz, he was dodging the bump,
but get back to the ball to make sure Zen doesn't get
the touch he's looking for.
Team Falcons have a lead.
They kick off.
RoLawz has to kill his demo,
but he's getting harassed by Zen!
Falcons!
Fight, fight, go and fire!
There's the kickoff strat!
Even though the Bersani Arabia, they're familiar with the Spanish.
And so, I love the idea as well.
Killers, if they kickoff, this is for a pass, like we saw Falcon going for earlier.
All Killers had on his mind was an explosion.
He got it!
It helps get Falcon's second goal.
For a loss again.
That's the Killers.
Killers looking for a clean angle.
They've been hard to find.
Rolos, getting strength.
Only 21 boost as he got the touch.
Killers with a full 10, send the whole way back.
Killers to start the challenge and with a boom.
Consent with a nice read, Ato with a demo.
And he flips over, Rolos avoids it, back pass.
Rolos refuses to go down that easily,
and he's got the save.
And I say, Rolos does respawn.
All side has the boost snatched right away from it.
We'll still go for the challenge.
really nice challenge for killers. It's the mid-poost.
Let's see, Roas also demoed,
bought in right next to the ball.
If he can't get to it in time,
Zen self-pass off the backboard.
What hit? Free-back.
Ooh, I'm gonna beat tonight.
I don't know how Team Falcon's got out of that.
I don't know how that wasn't a power shot.
They had to save there, but they'll take it.
And Roas, oh, he was close, only nine moves.
He needs some kind of power.
He still makes the stop.
Zen buys that to a little bit of time
They're here, they're coming in.
Sometimes the hardest game to win is that last one.
No mischiefs made. They've had a miraculous run.
They just need one more game but Team Falcons are making it difficult.
Killers again on the ball.
Roos couldn't lay in the bump.
Killers should stay behind this. What reset?
You gotta see what that's gonna do.
He's in the corner, Zed, steal his boost, low boost here for T-Falcon, could be...
...Skullscore, have to put in some help, they don't score!
T-Falcon's literally at zero, go on and get it!
Oh, Killis couldn't get the touch, but Zed, the Tato, off the board!
And Zed, though, having some trouble, bottoming the net here in game number five.
Are those Crats, Jor-Me starting to form?
Can Falcon's push through the breach? Here comes Ross!
Lots of killers! Killers ain't gonna go! He needs some boost!
And a pinch out here for South House.
Killers.
Decent.
Ro'Was.
Playing two balls.
High pass for Ahto.
Touch. New ceiling landing.
Push into the backboard.
Ro'Was.
Again, clearing it out.
Team Falcon's defense. Soaking up so much pressure.
It doesn't seem to matter how much boost they have.
They still find ways to get these stops.
Even here trying to stop killers, killers happy to recover.
Rolos gets another 50 killers, refers to this ball.
Midfield Booth will not spawn.
He's gotta go back.
Go, go, go!
Go, go, go!
No, it's just fate.
The perfect play here.
You see the defense, Virgene back, Dark Booth.
Get it out of head, Booth.
And Zed, on the other end of that pass, an easy punch in.
They're not going to make it easy for your Falcons.
You're going to have to fight this one until the clock hits zero.
And the ball hits the ground to stay alive in this series.
Zen.
We'll have that catch, Ato swings quick.
For what?
Having to get back quickly.
Ato reaches out for a loss with a great save.
Zen on the first side.
You're going to have to cover Ato.
Ato doesn't get the touch.
Zen, fail him out there.
And Ato lost.
Happy to kill that ball back into the corners.
Sends the whole way downfield when he gets back in front.
Killers double shot to nine.
Excellent denial on that double shot from Atso.
Sends the gopher, Vicky, whizzing forward.
Come to the spot for Killers,
but he predicts the low shot, keeps it out.
Had his nose on the ground,
didn't want to lose the 50 underneath
or get dunked either.
Excellent orientation there for Killers.
Falcons 30 plus to stay alive in the series.
Killers and Roas, Roas missed the ball.
He got no midfield boost either.
Quick pass, got this in, set up high.
Looking for Ato, Ato seeing killers, does not wanna go.
Killers, lets it go back to the corner for Roas.
Pass, it's after Killers, big move.
Ato on his own back, where Hook sends there
to support, sidewall double shut down by Killers.
We're holding.
Jotkin.
But you're gonna win, though!
The kill is there!
Jotkin!
Come on!
Come on!
Don't let anyone else do so far!
They were cooking!
I got Zata!
The Jor-B.
You wonder if the cracks are starting
to get a little wider or a little deeper.
And just seeing what this no-miss just big team
The team has been a fortress that has been unbreachable.
The team's Falcons are starting to find a foothold.
Whoa, some of the adjustments we were seeing,
that kickoff goal to get them their second goal
on the fake kickoff, just to demo.
Zen on the play to give Ross a free chance at the net.
Those little things, the difference right now.
Public Falcons get in this and let's remind ourselves
who these two players on Falcons are.
These are the twins, Roars and Killers,
two of the best players in the world.
Literally, TwiNergy is something that they have shown
the whole world what they have.
They have dominated in Rocket League, in 3v3.
And right now they're showing that they are not
an easy out here against Zen and Atom.
And at the pride of Saudi Arabia,
they were on the Team Falcon squad
that made history winning the first ever RLCS major
Hunting for a world championship title in 2v2's and taking down Zen before even
in FIFA taking down team France they have experience winning those big matches
Well, let's head on down on the Neo Tokyo, why not get a game 6.
Let's see what Falcons got.
Killers.
Oh my, things are getting interesting, Jormy.
Attle, try to slow things down.
It's a passing it right out to Killers.
The confidence growing for Team Falcons.
They're not the ones scrambling.
Not just cracks now, but chips falling away.
Falcons are slowly deconstructing no mischiefs fake.
Killers will get the catch.
He avoids the bump.
That's been a difference as well.
Merle lost one of his goals earlier,
avoiding the bump.
And I'll set the wall, get rid of him!
God!
The Boulders are being sold and landing true with the backflip set up for his brother after the demo.
Well now we're asking what our Zendenato gonna do.
30 seconds into this and Falcon rocking out to another two goal lead.
Killers takes the 50 against Sin.
Ato beats his lane, and that's the easiest dish for Ato's life.
It gets too far ahead of yourselves at your deep fountains.
Ato, great speed, outright beat.
Unforlossed there.
Locks that one in.
That is an important stabilizing goal here for no misjusting.
Really from those first two blows that Seed Fountains landed.
Notice even between the kickoff,
why the save from Sen and the recovery as well.
Here he goes with the flick, Killers got on top of him.
Killers, up on a guard!
And it's back and forth!
The team Falcons, happy upper hand!
What a challenge from Killers, that's how it's bled.
Castle, nothing he could do on the plan after Sen got done.
Four goals in the opening minute.
We're all just gonna take his time here, Zed, on the challenge.
Now to get away, but Killers again makes the stop.
Killers is on something right now.
Moving off to get the bruise roll off with a power shot.
And a good soft save from Zed.
He will move around as no attention of Game of Killers of 15.
Zed, what just happened?
The Smurfs ended in sacrificing and self-selflessly.
Kits demoed, but still that ball bouncing right over the Atoe.
Back of Smurf indeed.
Another kickoff.
Stale me, but it's roll-off.
And Xen, waiting for him, got that first touch.
Oh, lost the puzzle!
Atoe, big time save there.
Well, if you're in the crowd right now, you might be sleeping a little bit after the first two or three games
But I see a lot of people waiting forward in their chairs now
Game remote activated. You wait, you're leaning forward and locking in
Interesting on Neo Tokyo as Falcons
Looking for a fourth. Roll off, fake the touch. Easy save for Zed
The great devil from Zed on that play as well.
He knew that if he lands that devil, all that's what has to do is win that challenge.
Let's get off this killer!
Off the ball!
They can't stop him!
That's a slow fast!
Block the ball!
Jazz for jazz!
Falcons will not go down!
And it's a heavyweight bout right now!
Now we're not even halfway through this game, Jorbey.
Got more goals scored in this game than the entire rest of the series combined.
Now Zen with a reset, going for a demo.
He's got a hole, but the ball is off target.
That's a little off the mark, with a wave dash, covering again on the 50.
That's a lot of time to lose here.
Reset, raw size of the month, and we'll get right over it.
That man's also taking Zen out of the equation.
That's it! Great save!
Killers back on the rebound.
A touch underneath him.
Meryl Ross with a horn off the side wall.
Ato will be ready to meet him.
Zen hoping he doesn't even have to play with a great job there from Zen.
Now those Zen walking a tightrope.
He did it up.
Looking his way through.
How beautiful!
I can't go and work in the trenches!
He lands in uppercut!
It's focus territory!
And now, the Saddle Ships!
The gates open there, at the landing of the buck.
Equal and opposite reaction there, opening a shooting lane.
And no misjusting, wanna end this here on the uptickio.
They do not want to see Champions Field.
Roll off.
Not gonna get one there.
No boost here either.
Atta.
Not get the poppy once.
Zed.
Elton there yet. Roll off the takeover.
And it slips down to the side.
Killers are playing behind. Doctors were hoping for a different 50.
Still, Killers trying to get there quickly.
Right here they go again.
Ato pancakes himself onto the ground.
And Roll off goes downfield.
Roll off. Not much boost.
He needs his brother to get some time.
Ato with a challenge.
Ato again pressing forward. There was a bump
on the defender as well.
But Roll off is there behind the ball. It's the good boost.
Ato, a small pad to work with.
It's set on the setup. There's the 50 back down to the ground.
Killers trying to control it, but there's a back pass from Zed.
No quarter moves, balling in time. That gives some space to Falcon.
Oh! Such goes down. That makes it easy.
That's all. We'll just...
Delet coat Killers and find a way to get this ball.
Back to himself. Nice way to dash recovery.
And gets the boost.
They bump each other. Now Killers just has to buy some time for a loss,
but there's no quarter moves for a minor.
Killers does grab that quarter.
This is a big moment.
Killers jumps early, Zed trying to find a way through.
Those to the back for it.
Killers with a big read.
But as those there flipperies say,
back down the ground floor to the box, can't land it.
And that was 15 passed.
Against the corner moves, Steal, Zed with a beautiful pinch.
Ato's down there ready for it, but couldn't get the line he was looking for.
Has to go back to the corner.
Killers was hoping to take that boost, but again, would not get it.
Hold on, let's go to the first side.
Ato, side wall.
It was our target, but still not enough to get past Team Falcons.
Killers again, has the ball.
Atto, all alone, let him have it for too long.
Atto, the weak shot.
Rollos has to keep the ball tight.
Zend steals the boost.
Rollos loses the ball.
Get back.
And Atto will get a free one.
Zend is downfield.
He gets caught by the post.
He'll be a little slow.
He'll get the boost.
get the boost. Roll-offs, Devo and Zend.
Overtime again, six change.
They have a beautiful record.
And now all they need is one goal to finish the job.
Well, it's just fate.
Team Falcons have their eyes set on game seven.
Killers was going downfield.
Now he has to get back.
Recover, he does. Roll-offs will cut first.
That's all.
Here he goes.
That's all.
Across.
The Zen taking one out, Killers, he's all in!
He's all in!
Back on!
We're going to champions field!
He's talking, he's going all the way in!
They look down on the water!
But they come alive!
Come on!
You know, Rolythe said it before.
And he might just say it again.
He says, I am not like the rest of them.
And well, guess what?
Unfortunately for no misjust fake,
Killers has a lot of the same genes.
Killers, what a back half of the series
he's had him and Rolythe finally finding the success.
And you saw the anxiety he was building
When Atom and Zed were rolling around, Atom hits the sidewall double on target and just
the save on top of it for James.
Five goals for Killers.
Every goal that gave for Killers, it was a team effort going.
Unbelievable composure.
Team Falcons showing us what they're made of.
Made it out so interesting as well.
Atom still in the run and Team Falcons and Kate Garuda collision course for tomorrow.
And how big would this be as well?
Forcing.
No mess just fake to take a time out.
This is the furthest they've ever been taken in 2v2.
Zen, he said it, it's his mode.
And you saw it in between every single kickoff.
They are talking.
They are trying to figure it out.
They know what's at stake right now.
And I think that weight of their record
could be weighing heavy on Zen and Ato.
The expectations have been that this is their mode.
This is their time.
This is Zen returning to the peak,
to the top of the mountain,
as the best Rocket League player in the world.
It's his time once more.
That's what everyone has been saying,
but this is why we play the game, Storby.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Dickies, are you not gonna come today?
We got games down the two of each other.
Look at him!
Neither way this goes, Jorbey.
This is going to be a match that we'll talk about for a long time.
Team Falcons coming up against a Goliath.
48 and 2 record up to the Grand Finals.
No one seemed to be able to take it to Zett and Ato, but Roas and Killers, even though this series looked to get away from them, have not given up.
And they have pushed all the way to Champions Field.
The magic number for Noamish just made is 52.
The golden number that gives them the 2v2 Championship.
Falcons trying to rip it out of their hands, roll off with a pass, the killer, Mr. DeHal, and Ato will pick up the city.
Brilliant save from Ato, not losing his composure, they're making sure he can get back to deny the shot.
Again, we're seeing the breath from Team Falcons, Ato.
All right, he catches this.
It's coming off the ball.
Killer to the air, Zed up very quickly and wins it by it.
They're having a way though.
That's a good first touch, puts it high, seal it double, most two to commit.
Seth gets an opening, puts it underneath, still two to commit for Falkens.
They will have to recover.
Seth here he goes again, trying to fade.
Oh!
He's going to get shot!
He tells him to stop the spray!
Using that spray for a fine game!
He's got a whip out of the trick of the bag!
At this point, push to the limit!
Zenonato winding away to take this lead.
Lots of gameplay left.
It was Falcon who were putting on that early pressure.
Early on in this series, it was all Zenonato
putting that pressure on early.
The Killers rich this ball down a few of the series.
He's having a game 6am, not a loss.
Sorry for it again, Killers.
Gets the next one, pops a hideaway.
Roulos gets another demo.
Killers looking for his brother.
His brother got 15.
The Killers will rotate back quick.
Gets the boost steal as well.
And here comes Anato.
That's good dodging of the bump attempt there.
Inked out, just wanted to land it.
Very close to getting that equalizing goal.
Now Killers to the air.
Anato jumping early.
There's the shot.
He's going to the back.
Landing the demo.
The shot pops.
The shot goes through and we've got a time goal game.
Ross going for a set.
Zeph thinking maybe he's going for that move,
still looking to run towards that ball.
He realized at the last second that his death was before his eyes.
And Falcon strike back.
Ross a step ahead on that one.
Go for the backward bounce.
Zeph thought he was safe, but you're right,
Jorvie realized too late that he was
in the crosshairs over a lot.
Here comes Atom for the reset.
Got the demo, and there's one more brother in the way.
It's Rolos this time.
Killers spawns right underneath him and immediately into service.
Rolos helping him out.
Zed pops this.
That's just gonna be a boom from Rolos to Killers to Rolos!
Rolos!
Oh!
Baby, that was close!
They're trying to keep them all.
Killers dusts just that hand against the boost.
Stats are trying to come off, and it bounces out Zen.
Actually comes quickly, Rawas to see him on small pads.
Killers will come back in.
Still no way in for no misjusty.
Other side while Zen failed out,
Zen takes the shot, and that's saved by Rawas.
This could be a good setup, but Zen trying to break it up.
Killers moving into support.
Zen with a high pop, Rawas first to it.
It's hit by Atoe, this one.
Handled out by Atoe, hand off to Zen.
Hard air dribble with a reset and a pop.
Rubble loss.
That pop up is good, but not good enough.
Atom had the flip, except for Zen coming across.
Just nothing too frightening.
Killers gets to go downfield.
Roll off on his left.
Killers with a huge pop downfield.
What's that?
Stretches.
Roll off. Steals it.
And help is Atom with a beautiful touch again.
Killers got the midfield boost.
Zen actually put that ball away.
Atom has to retreat.
They will run in the huge and unfortunately for them, Killers throws a patch into them and busts up their defense.
Are they going to do it? Less than two minutes to go.
And Falcons just like him. Zato the first loss.
The rules in 2v2 end of the month.
The speech of ages.
Off the world, the quarter and end.
How does that go in?
At this time, at this moment, it just bounces in.
The flash of several of the banners of Champion's Field.
The result is written in the stars.
And Shay has the bumps for the loss.
The best at avoiding those errors of a bump.
Get the better of them.
Returning fire. Just one minute.
And Mordorlap almost found it smart.
Zed, pass for a loss.
Atchoo, points out to the Algarve.
No, just Zed.
Just finish movement to the lead.
And reveals, taking off his title.
That's over. With the easiest shot he'll have on weekend.
And now a minute 28, separating them from protecting it.
Falcons got to find a way to fight it.
The Falcons had to come back to the series.
And now they have to come back in Game 7.
What a fight from Falcons.
Lookin' for another one.
Another goal to extend this.
Just a little longer.
Ato and Zen.
Holding this ball in the midfield.
Killers has the rock.
Roars coming forward.
Killers steals the boost.
Zen with the flick.
You know what he wants.
He wants the boost.
As you all know, is he gonna demo you?
Is he gonna get the boost?
That's been one of the questions you're asking yourself.
Ato, if you're on the field, one on one.
One, two, one, Hector!
Slow, Hector!
Nothing!
Try to take it a little bit too slow.
Wasn't able to punish.
Ross gets deviled off the ball.
This is another quality.
No managers above.
One on three.
Stay inside the ball.
Is able to get the touch.
Ross respawning in the nick of time.
Back pass to Sen.
Ross tries to read him.
Malcolm's having check risks.
With 20 seconds left,
Killers gets the win.
Ross is still down.
He's gonna go for another one.
Killers lost the ball.
He had no boost.
Rolls to the side again.
Rolls to 360 and you're on the ball, he's got nothing!
Seven, eight, go!
Seven, eight, go!
Last of Jeff right here,
but he still gets pretty good!
Intercepting by the center!
That's true, man!
You're a man!
You're a man!
You're a man for that one, man!
Seven, eight, go!
You're a man for that one, three, four!
You're a man for that one, man!
And you can see what it means for the both of them, Ato telling the crowd give it up
for his man.
Sam couldn't be more thankful for his teammate.
And while Sam won't be holding the 3v3 trophy in this tournament, he will be the 2v2
world champion alongside what a performance from both of these teams.
What a show!
Second world champion, Jake returning to the top.
Crazy, crazy stuff from that, had to recover.
That covered his mouth.
I'm thinking really good.
You're correct.
Let's go down the lead.
Another winner's interview.
Thank you, Zarina.
Are you not entertained?
Give it up for No Miss, Josh Pike!
It's just a moment that I think a lot of people expected,
But of course you were put to the edge of your abilities there.
Ato, for you coming into this, when it comes to expectations,
how do you make sure that everyone around you, expecting you to win,
doesn't get in your head and you just stay focused and locked in?
I mean, it's a bit hard, like, then it's the best pair in two, and...
Yeah, I mean, like everyone sees us winning, and of course, like, it's in my head.
But all it matters is that we just focus on ourselves, we focus on who we play, match by match, and yeah, we just win.
You did just win, it was definitely difficult, but you talk about Zen, you have to give yourself some credit too.
You're also unreal out there, everyone knows how great you are. I saw you smiling so much though.
Why was that? How do you have so much fun in here when the pressure is so heavy?
I mean it's like, I'm with like this dumbass guy, so of course I have to love the film
and it's also an all-night shift, you don't take fun, what's the point of playing, you know?
That's a good point, that's a good point.
You're just in awe of Zen as the rest of us, that's for sure.
Now for Zen, I gotta ask you, we all have goals, right?
But it seems when you set your heart to something, you achieve your goals.
Of course, 3K and Ma'mar, that's absolutely unreal.
What do you tell yourself in your head to make sure that you're hitting those goals?
You know, I'm just a hard worker.
I love this game. Rocket League is just my life, you know.
So I'm just passionate about the game, just doing my best,
and I'm doing everything I can to achieve all the things I want on this game.
Now, Ato pumped you up, and I know you want to do the same,
because I saw how you reacted when you guys won there.
That embrace was super meaningful. Tell me about this guy right here.
What can you say about Ato?
Ato is very simple, he's a very nice person.
I think he doesn't mind, he's just too strong in the game.
He's the strongest player in the world, we can say that.
And that's it.
This is the world championship title for 2v2s.
I always get the winners a chance to speak back home to the audience
because this stage right now is yours.
For both of you, what do you have to say?
Thank you to everyone, you are exceptional.
Thank you to those who support us even though our defeat yesterday
it hurts us a lot.
We're good workers and we'll try to come back.
To talk about the 2v2, we're extremely happy.
We worked like crazy in the middle of the camp.
I think we're the only ones who did that.
So I'm extremely happy.
And he's also his first title in the field.
So that's it.
It's been a dream since I was a little kid.
To be the world champion on the pitch.
We're doing it today with Xenon 2.2.
Now I know that we did it once, so all that's left to do is finish the work tomorrow in 3-3
and get off the track and be champion of the world for the 1st time.
It's just my dream, thank you to all those who made the move for us, the fans of carbine.
Big heart on you and kiss my family too.
your first ever 2v2 world champion
Daniel Ako, Ole Miss, Josh K
And as we see their teammates take to the stage to help them celebrate, we enter a new era
of Rocket League with 2v2 World Champions crown for the first time.
And how fitting is it that it's the first winner take all game 7 in the open era for
any of our World Championships and it came from the brand new mode in 2v2.
What a fauna.
puts a final game 7 and Zen becoming the first player in the LCS to be a world champion in two different modes.
3v3 world championship with Vitality now in 2v2 world champ as well.
And even more importantly bringing the K-Corp fans and Vitality fans together to cheer on this team.
That is a feat that is hard to do because there are enemies in 3v3.
I mean they got pushed to a lenders 2. How's all the deaths?
Before the game I said this is going to be quick.
And for the first two games, it looked like it was going to be quick.
Adam, as of the reset, that game collision was over.
We mentioned they went game three.
And then they pushed this thing all the way to game seven.
And I got to say, since the phenomenal, the Adam is the composure.
They went down two, one in game seven.
And it's just a little fuss.
Adam, look over there for right up there, bro.
We got it.
Immediately after, then pinch it, you're in that base, and we're tied up.
And that is why Green Attu onto this team.
He's going to keep the morale high.
Zen getting in his head maybe a little bit.
Zen hits that pinch though.
Phenomenal.
The difference between this match
that we saw from the net over to Space Station
versus this match against Falcons,
where the Falcons forced them to play
better to be too rockin',
you gotta find each other, you gotta work together.
There's not gonna be any of this solo plays.
There's not gonna be enough flickers out on this.
Maybe one time.
Maybe we're at the very beginning,
but towards the NCJ, that was an all out brawl
between two, what's it like, equal rosters.
Oh, massive credit to Falcons.
The fact that I brought that back to seven,
they look down and out and they thought maybe a token game before one victory.
The Zato, the Falcons locked in and they looked like the winners.
Game seven they get a goal off as well.
Was that sent?
It's ridiculous off the court.
Sometimes you need a little bit of luck, but he's going for it as well.
But the fact that it does go in is just, he's the best, he's the best.
Is Zen pinch, is zinch.
It was just wild.
Zenny times that Zato messed up a bit, just gave the ball away.
The Falcons came back and just attacked them immediately,
went for those demo plays and it worked for most of this series on their way back to that
champions field they just fell one goal short. They did fall one goal short and they got to
keep their heads high and what a way to introduce twos to the RLCS. It had to be like 10 years
for this. I don't know. I thought it was going to be introduced back then but unfortunately I
didn't want to say no. I mean it just goes to show that there's a place in the RLCS for
1v1 for 2v2 after 3v3 all gamers bring something different than 2v2 is so.
I was trying to watch.
And I was intense.
You can tell any tiny mistake is opening, opening up the 1v2,
a demo of Jaycee is new.
He was a drunk crowd with just the 45 teams
and just the level of rock and league that was on display.
It's just so fitting that Zen is that first one in two different disciplines
to win two different world championships.
She was also one of Game 7 away from being massed in the European 1v1.
Could have had the Triple Crown, possibly, but man, crazy.
We'll have to hold on for the Triple Crown.
quite there yet maybe some future here but I mean the best game seven we've
had in the grand final sense of season eight I don't know it's been a while
yeah that was the last winner take off for a grand final
championship I think it's all CS or just any land in general in our all CS maybe
every length I think I'm not gonna LA I guess it doesn't count I guess LA and
the first one right first one they both went games like the winner take
Yeah, I give one point to that goal, that's why.
Folks, congratulations to team with no mischiefs.
Zennan Addo for being the 2v2 first inaugural world champions
here in the Rocket League Championship Series.
That does it for our 2v2 action for 2026, the 3v3,
though, yet to be decided.
And it's all that remains as we look forward
to Championship Sunday.
Here are the teams that entered the arena
at the beginning of the week.
We have narrowed it down to just six, one from Europe,
one from Mina and four from North America.
And I guarantee you, no one,
when they were making their bracket predictions,
had these teams remain in North America,
the three, four and five seed,
all alive is absolutely insane.
That's over the chance to win it again tomorrow.
It's gonna be a 2-V-2 World Championship
and a 3-V-3 World Championship
would be something that we just wouldn't expect.
It's incredible.
They've got, and they are already one match away
from that grand finals.
They will play either the team Falcons
or team NRG, depending on how that one goes down, either they're taking on the defending
world champs or the EWC champs. It is going to be an incontentious lower bracket. And that's
top side of the bracket, space station, Curtis and foot. None of them have ever won an RLCS
LAN, those orgs at all. On the other side, a lot of trophies in the trophy case for energy,
Falcons and K-Corp. You're talking about the orgs there, Curtis, Crow and Foot,
relatively new in the Rocket League space and what a performance we've seen from their
rosters ssg's been here for so long they've been they've been hoping for that major win
for so long sg's has amazing teams over the over the years so the fact that they're still here
still competing at the highest level and both will and not even that three playing teams are still
alive going into this family falcon split uh mtp like foot falcons opened up the playing
and now they're both still alive the play the play is uh pretty uh pretty cool part of the
tournament i guess that we have that i kind of like that we added those extra absolutely tomorrow
We will kick things off with team Falcons versus ORG.
We'll see Virtus.pro take on Space Station, Carming Core,
and Foot will wait for the rest of them there.
But the World Champs, play for their tournament live, CJ.
It's a big start.
It's a big start for the World Champs.
There's a lot of questions about some of their runs
that have had another tournament's team back.
If they can run the goal, then Falcons in the KC
and be back-to-back World Champs,
there is no question about the best team we've ever seen.
No question at all.
That will be cementing the legacy.
And after that, they want to make roster changes if you can.
I'll give you the green light.
folks. Yeah, go ahead. We got to go and get rested up for the
best day of the Rocket League year tomorrow. 2026 wraps up on
Championship Sunday at the World Championships. We've got the
doors open at 10am. The first press pre show will be right
there. Get on the 11am kickoff hook to see you guys there.
Thank you so much for watching. We'll see you tomorrow for
Championship Sunday!
I need someone to come save me
I need a time to come hold me
Take me, I need a time to come take me
I need a time to come find me
I'm hearted by the past
I'm grounded by it
I'm hearted by the past
Take me, I need you so long, take me, take me
I need you, I need you so long, take me, take me
I know it seems so weasel-y, the fighters are nervous, and your eyes running around your head as if thousand enemies, but there's a fire lighting up the dark.
We're gonna watch them fall
Cause if you need a little while, then come
I'll be the one you call
Ooh, I saw it, it's only human
When the feeling overcomes
Like I need another drug
I'll be the one you call
Ooh, I saw it, it's only human
I'm feeling all the rights
Going deep into the night
I'll be the one you call
Ooh, ooh, my heart
Ooh, oh, it's you, it's you, it's you
Ooh, ooh, my heart
I'll be the one you call
I don't ever want you far
