Hello, good evening, good afternoon.
For those of you that have arrived nice and early today,
we're doing a Siege X Showdown.
So big shout out to Ubisoft for sponsoring this event.
I'm here with Justin, as you can see.
Hello.
Justin's going to be my secondary coach
here for the other team.
And we're also joining two legendary passers,
Intero and Jesse.
How is everyone doing?
How are you guys doing?
I'm feeling good.
Excited for some siege.
Excited for some high quality gameplay today.
Yeah, yeah, high quality.
Oh, believe me.
High quality gameplay is definitely
what you are going to get, OK?
It's very, very special here.
OK, let me give you a little breakdown for the chatters
watching and for obviously you guys as well.
This is going to be a little different.
We have 10 people playing from World of Warcraft.
They're all World of Warcraft streamers.
They have no experience in Siege.
I don't even think this might be their first time opening it.
So we're going to try our best.
By we, I mean, me and Justin, we're
going to be drafting two teams.
We're going to try our best to coach these guys.
For about an hour, we're going to give our best shot
to coach them up.
Get them all ready to hopefully win in a BO5, 25K
on the line.
Whoever wins gets 15K.
Whoever gets second gets 10K.
So regardless, everybody participating here
going to, you know, they're going to get paid. Nobody's a loser here, okay? We're
here for fun. That's kind of the overall kind of format, what we're doing. The next
thing we're gonna pretty much do is just get right into the draft. So we're not
wasting any time. I assume everybody's here, so I don't have to stall. Let's check
real quick. I see nine people in the discord. We're missing. No. Ten? Yeah, I
think we're ready. I think we could do the draft. Yeah, perfect. Is that it?
Is that it? Oh, no, there's only nine people. Who are we missing? We're missing
someone who do I have to yell at?
We got, who we missing?
We got Grayson, that's great.
I thought he wanted to show.
We got Esfand, who are we missing here?
I'm counting 10, maybe I'm crazy.
Great.
Five, six, seven, eight.
I see 10.
Oh my God, we got, we can't count.
Never do math on broadcast.
We can't count.
Okay, well, great. I think everyone's ready.
Let me just do some dabbling on the streams,
make sure everybody's good.
Yeah, we're ready. Everyone's got their game open.
Perfect. Let's just get right into the draft, okay?
Let's go right into it right now.
We're gonna go down me and Justin.
We're gonna go down Jesse and Terry.
You guys are gonna chill for a little bit,
but we're gonna go down to start this draft, okay?
We're gonna join this hectic voice channel.
So, move down, let me just, and let's go.
Hello?
I'm not making I didn't say
questions I was making statements.
Super OP and new friendly, so I'm gonna play a fat character, whoever it is.
I'm... who?
No, I'll tell you, yeah, you'll be on my team.
You're my captain, okay, so we're doing a draft right now.
Soda Popin's gonna be my captain, and S-Fan is gonna be Justin's captain.
How's this gonna work? Is Soda's gonna pick first, and then S-Fan's gonna do two picks,
and then Soda two, back to S-Fan for two, and then Soda one.
The difference is S-Fans gonna pick side and defenders are obviously just way
advantageous here so yes yes and plant yeah yes similar yeah very similar so we
could honestly just get started with the draft right now like straight up
chance your first pick who you picking for that okay that was fast yeah nice nice
Oh
Man
Yes, I'm assuming
Does anyone have time in this yeah, they would have a little bit of hours at all here
Wait
2016
Every great
Who are the captains is s-fan s-fan and Mike
That's a good pic that's my guy. That's a good pic. That's a good pic.
Kind of agree with it though. I like this style
You know doesn't he get two pics? Yeah, you just do you just do oh
Oh, uh, give me give me Grayson.
What?
What are you doing?
Oh, my God, that's terrible.
There's shit.
Dude, we're going to be the average Joe.
And you guys can be good.
You're so fucked.
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
Dude, I think that's it.
Wait, my whole strategy for the class.
So what kind of strategy are you going for now, just losing?
No, we're going to win.
So we're going to be doing this against all odds, dude.
I've seen the movie before, and it's like this other guys,
they're the fricking jack, and tan, and sexy.
And then we show up, and it's like, we're just off the bench,
and our whole team got injured, and then we ended up
with these guys, and they still managed to win the big game.
And we're fricking champions now,
and they make a movie out of us.
I was just wondering, I can show this to you guys.
I mean, if the comedy is coming,
it is a comedy.
What we're going to do, you guys.
Okay, so I get two picks, right?
Yes, this is obviously me, that's what they see.
Let's bring in shit.
I mean, I'm not even gonna ask y'all your background.
I'm gonna bring in Ampey and Zaryu.
Yo, there we go.
Yo, nice, good pick, very good pick.
All right, good one.
You lose, by the way.
All right.
Looks like camera, this is a remix.
I can totally see Ampey just walking around.
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say I think
Annie's asleep. That's all I mean Annie has every single that you've been a
World of Warcraft though and this is a big brain game. It is no it will help this
is a big this is a big brain game you might have to be here however all
doing all the achievements in WoW is a massive CC chain that kept her from
learning how to aim. Well luckily this game is more of this is this game
Name in my opinion is more about brain than aim, so if you've got a brain you'll be fine.
Okay.
I don't know how to...
But sometimes your brain or sponge is too full and you can't like...
I need to mute this then, right?
It's not the sponge conversation again.
Who are your big test friends?
Annie?
Okay.
And my fellow private server brother, Payo.
You picked me I'm gonna be the mean
All right, give me Savick's has he been picked yet? I have not oh we want it's gay. Yeah, there's a song
Bringing in Korean snipers, dude. Absolutely
That's the real sleeper pick
I'll make your browser is it
Is it teams of five?
OK.
All right, easy-peasy.
Easy-peasy.
Can I get another snake?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, OK, if you were to get another pick,
let's hear it if you had a six player.
Well, I'll just save it in my back pocket.
Just have one.
I'll trade it for next season.
OK.
I was going to tell you guys the map order,
but I want to be honest.
It means nothing to any of you, so we're just gonna get to it now.
It literally means nothing to you guys.
But what we're gonna do now is we don't actually play for like about an hour and some change.
Just because you guys have never played this game before.
Me and Justin are gonna move in different channels with you guys, and we're gonna jump into a custom.
I'm gonna need to add you guys to friends and stuff, so I'll show you how to do that in a second.
But we're gonna jump into a custom just to get you guys a little situated, because this game is very strategically.
There's a lot going on. Just run around the map for a little bit with us, okay?
So now production will pull you guys into different channels, and then the captains will follow, all right?
Excellent. Cool. Sounds good. Perfect.
Good, good, good.
All right.
Someone else is moving us right now.
All right, all right, all right. Yeah, that's fine.
I think production has an audio issue or something, so they're just trying to figure that out.
They might not even be here. It's fine.
Figuring out their shenanigans
We
Yeah, no, let's let's do it. Let's do it. I was thinking I don't know how many people can stream together
I don't know if this whole thing all tw-six. Okay, so all of us could do it. That's perfect. Yeah, let's do that
I think I'm gonna suggest
It is us. We must
the channels as they have gone off to talk to their people.
Yes.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, I'm here.
I believe Parker now is our time to maybe discuss the drafts a little bit.
I think they've got to, they got to set everything up.
They got to get everybody in the lobby before they can start their coaching session.
So I mean, we were listening to that draft.
We can have a bit.
To me, it sounded like, and I'm no expert in the world of Warcraft, but to me,
it sounded like Shroud's team was a little bit more stacked.
There was not a whole lot of belief in Justin's team.
I don't know about you.
I mean, I also know nothing about World of Warcraft.
And I also, and even if I did,
I don't know how well any of these players
will have their ability to translate from a memo
to an FPS, especially when most of them admittedly
have never touched this game before.
You know, Rainbow Six Siege is a lot of things, Jesse,
but it is probably one of the easiest games to learn.
I feel like-
Lots of people say that, yeah.
Lots of people say this, many such cases.
I think 90 minutes of coaching is more than enough
for them to all become experts at this game.
Surely they're not gonna get farmed like bots,
trying to learn maps and mechanics and operators
and the general cut and thrust of this.
I didn't hear Jesse if they talked
about the map rotation in general.
I know he said that it wouldn't matter to these people,
but for those that are out of the loop,
we are doing two game modes today.
We are doing the traditional Rainbow Six Siege game mode
that many people who watch other games will come to know
which is bomb, which is the two bombs
different sites that you have to, you know, plant a diffuser and diffuse the bomb, but
we are also going to be doing hostage and hostage is going to be messy because, you
know, number one is you don't kill the hostage, but I have a feeling we're going to see some
hostages get killed. That's all I'm going to say.
Yeah. Make some predictions. Chad, how many hostages will go down? I believe the order
is we're going to start with bomb on bank. That'll be the first map that we play
in the best of five. Then we're going to border where we will be playing hostage.
So that should be fun.
Then we're going back to Chalet where we're playing bomb.
Then if we need a fourth and a fifth map,
we'll go Oregon for hostage and then coastline bomb
as our final decider map in the best of five.
And if you're used to watching
some professional Rainbow Six Siege,
we will be playing shorter matches than a usual best of five.
So we will not be here for seven hours
like sometimes you can see the pro games go.
Yes, it will be ranked rules.
So that's three rounds on one side
before the sideswap operator bands.
far as I'm aware are turned off when you're playing with 10 people who don't really know
the game all that well, operator bands seem kind of like a foolish endeavor here. I don't
understand why they would be able to find value from that though. I do appreciate that.
I think it was Espen was like, I'm just going to play the fat operators and I'm like,
you know what, you've got some options here. You've got some, you got some bigger
operators that you can play off of. So we'll see if that, if that goes on. I
do love hostage on border for those that are unfamiliar with rainbow six maps. Border
is often affectionately referred to as Hell in a Cell, the map where good teams go to die,
it is a very chaotic map and lots of action can happen at a moment's notice. And of course,
you're going to add the unknown variable, which is that hostage to this map. Admittedly,
hostage is not a competitive game mode. It is purely a casual game mode. So I don't even
know where the hostage will be on this map because I don't think I've ever played
hostage on border in my life. So that will be fascinating to watch.
should be excited to see kind of how that all runs through hostage being
playing in a competitive mode for the first time maybe ever I'm sure it's been
played at some point in the past but it'll be new to you and I obviously
before we get into the actual game we are gonna have I think it's 90 minutes
of coaching so shroud and Justin will get to talk to their team members that
they've just drafted and they will do their best to teach them the game
over the next hour and a half they're just getting everybody into the
lobby first, but I don't know, Parker, do you have a strategy that you would run with
if you had to teach five completely brand new players the game in 90 minutes?
I would run. I would run away from doing that. I don't know what strategy there even is here
from the people who didn't pick up on the sarcasm earlier. Rainbow Six Siege has the
unique distinction of being probably the trickiest first-person shooter to learn
just at a base level because you have to learn all the maps, walls, floors. There's
lots of soft destruction. Then you introduce hard destruction, gadgets that can only go
through certain reinforcements and certain barricades and certain gadgetry. And then
of course you've got drones to scout out info. You've got all these different operators
with different guns with different recoil patterns. It is a brutally hard game to
learn. And when you get players, maybe some of them are not particularly accustomed
to first person shooters. And maybe some of these wow streamers only play PvE. It's
going to be a tricky one for them to learn. I think you go with the simple operators
on attack that's an operator like Sledge that's an operator while I would say
Thatcher but he's been changed maybe a Doka be maybe an ash somebody who can just
frag out really well on defense you're gonna pick your rooks you're gonna pick
your docs you know you're gonna pick one of those two French operators never run
around and just shoot stuff I think that's probably the best way to go
about it but yeah we'll be intriguing to watch them navigate the maps because
that is usually the biggest stumbling block for new players no I agree a
hundred percent I almost wonder if like you're 90 minutes with the best
spent just like letting them run around the five maps that we're going to be
playing today and a praying they can retain some of the info of where all the
runes connect and stuff like that.
I was talking to Justin.
I know he was saying he was going to get all of his players to play trap
operators every single round.
And I think that's, that's probably the strategy you want to go with when
everybody is new to the game.
It's sometimes stuff to remember to look for cap can traps and look for
lesion mines and thorn gadgets, especially with thorn, just getting buffed
not too long ago.
So yeah, we're probably going to see a lot of trap
operators getting played in this game, I think.
And I also think our newest operator that actually came out
today, Silent Hunt Rainbow Six newest season
launched this morning about six hours ago, give or take.
And I mean, anybody who's played a Tom Clancy game
is going to be familiar with Sam Fisher.
Splinter Cell, you're familiar with Splinter Cell.
He's in the game.
His name is zero in the game.
But Sam Fisher was added to the Rainbow Six
universe a couple of years ago
With a partnership that Ubisoft launched and announced just a month or two ago at our largest event of the year, Solid Snake is now the newest addition to the game and he is...
I don't want to say he's really strong, he seems to be in a pretty good spot from all the scouting reports we've been given, but...
I think he'll be incredibly useful in this matchup because his gadget allows you to see the location of the defenders and where they are looking.
If you are learning this game, that gadget will be incredibly valuable, just like a lion on attack,
just like a doka bee on attack. Any of these intel operators on attack will help really well.
Now they're not going to help you with those traps that you talked about, so thorn, frost,
lesion, capkin. All these operators are going to have a lot of value. And I mean,
if you're worried about your gun skill, let the traps do the work for you. You don't need
to shoot yourself if your gadgets can do the killing too. And obviously the defenders
are well equipped in that regard.
Yeah, I think if we're going to see a pretty defender sided series here, Parker,
just because there are going to be those traps and even without the traps,
it's easier to sit in a corner and hold an angle than it is to push in and try to clear something.
Usually the attackers actually have a pretty good time with that because they can drone players,
they can use flashbangs, nades, a ton of utility to really defend her out of position,
but that's the type of stuff that you've got to learn through multiple hours of playing,
probably more than an hour and a half, but I think if one of these two coaches
that their shroud or Justin can start to get that knowledge into their players,
that's where we might be able to see a bit of a difference come out.
And even if maybe one of these teams is better as individuals,
if you've got a better coach, that could honestly determine who wins this series.
So when I try to not...
I mean, both Mike and Justin have been playing this game for quite a long period of time.
They both actually have charms in the game.
So if you're unfamiliar, you can attach a little charm to most of the guns in the game.
They're only available through subscribing on Twitch.
So if you are watching this broadcast right now, which is live on shrouds channel
Or if you're watching on Justin's channel if you subscribe to either shroud or Justin
And of course if your Ubisoft connect and twitch accounts are linked together
You will get either Mike or Justin's charm depending on who you subscribe to twitch prime subs work
Just fine gifted subs work just fine any level of tier sub works
Just fine you subscribe them within 24 hours their charm gets added to your inventory
So both of these players not only are mainstays of this game, but have been around long enough to be honored with a charm in game.
Just a little call to action for those of you that are watching that are Rainbow Six players that are maybe a bit unfamiliar with the way that works.
And also, Jesse, I expect there will be a lot of people watching spread across all of the the combatants, all of whom are streaming on their respective channels.
So if you are a hardened veteran of Siege, you are going to hear a more casual and relaxed style of commentary from Jesse and I today.
Just because there will be a lot of newer viewers who maybe aren't the most familiar with rainbow six
So we're gonna be walking you through how things work what to expect and because of that
Don't get a little frustrated if we're a little bit more beginner friendly in the end
This is we're here to learn and we're here to see some hopefully top level gameplay
That's high as we can get well Parker
It seems like shroud has gotten everybody into the lobby
So we're gonna let you guys listen into the coaching session that shroud and his teammates will have
So do enjoy this as Shroud gets his teammates on the right page and gets them ready for this best of five
Yes, yes, yes, yes, did you have them all added in the party? Yes, I'm in a group with them now
Okay, you can't custom games. They have to do the tutorial tells me
What they're in the game right now. I can't do anything. I am locked into doing a tutorial
Are you guys all in the game with me right now?
I'm in locations should we be in locations? I think we've all done it Justin, I think that's why. Oh well I guess my team didn't
But the tutorials like two seconds long no just tell me okay just tell them to do it really quick
It's hard
I just wanted to get us all in the same same spot okay, so I'm gonna tell you guys the general premise of what you do here
Okay, you're starting off in the prep. Well, I skip the prep phase, but normally in the prep phase you have like 45 seconds to drone
So right now if you hit six, I believe with your default key minus six it'll throw a drone
Yeah, so the drone phase is how you start off and that's going to be your camera where you could kind of go around and you're going to need to like the first thing you're going to need to do when you're attacking is a drone everything you can, which is just getting as much information as you can so try to find out what characters they're playing, what bombsite they're playing so you could just do that right now just drive your drone around get inside the main building.
building. You could also do some really cool jumps with that. So you can aim high and hit
space bar and you can like climb up shelves and like get in sneaky little spots. And this
is me right here. I don't know whose drone this is, but yeah it's me, it's me. How do
I, I ping them. Yeah Z, Z is going to be your best way of communicating to each other
because I do not expect and I'm not going to teach you a single call out because there
There are so many call-outs for this game and these maps are very vertical so no call-outs.
I'm not moving.
Look at me.
Oh, I thought you were Mom.
Is this, yeah?
This is me.
Yeah, okay.
Alright, nice.
This is me.
Oh yeah, there's friendly fire.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's friendly fire.
Yeah, friendly fire is on so do not shoot each other.
Okay.
Yeah, don't die.
Yes.
Chas telling me Thor was shooting me.
Thor, are you crazy?
No, I was testing my keybinds, man.
All right, Shroud, you gotta wrangle all the drones.
Get us all together so we can follow you around and show us how.
Okay, uh, does everyone...
You guys don't need to go on your drone.
Just, uh, exit your drone. I just wanted to show you guys what drones look like.
How am I doing that?
Uh, just hit the same key. It should be six.
I think it's escape or two for me.
Or escape, yeah.
I'm right here for you.
I'm gonna exit the building and you guys are gonna see me.
This is what it looks like when a defender runs out.
You're looking spotted.
I'm spotted like this you see don't shoot me please though. This is me. Yeah, so you when you're defending if you try to leave
You get pinged so don't leave the building when you're at defense
Right now. I just want to show you guys. I just want to show you guys what the bombs. Yeah look like so there's three of you
We're the this is like search or destroy. Yeah, we're the other two
I'm gonna shoot it. Let's see if you take me to him. You ready?
I'm ready. You feel that? You're shooting me?
I usually get a gage.
If you really, if you really want a tank, you play Monty. That's the big one.
I don't know what that means.
That's fine. That's fine.
Okay. Okay. Oh, oh yeah. You guys got to learn how to, you guys, okay. Here, actually come with me.
If you hit spacebar right along this wall
Yeah, now you go up and down and now you can control if you want to hit control you'll flip
You also do it from the top. What? Yeah, you can do it from the top, too
So you come down. No, it's C for inverting. Oh my I changed my key bind. I'm sorry C's in very bad
Fucking upside down
Your ropes, I don't think your ropes can get tangled though, that would be fantastic.
You could also swing around the side of buildings too, on the corner, I believe there's a prompt
when you're on the corner to swing to the opposite side, after I've made a shift, yeah there
you go.
Rappers, Sprint?
Yeah, you could Sprint and you could go off, yeah I know, it trips you out.
I'm sick, I'm motion sickness, I can't do this, yeah I kind of got that same thing
from there.
Can we actually ban this?
You're gonna, it's gonna be somewhat important, here everybody come back down.
Come back down to the...
Come back down.
Yes, there's a spot.
I think when you get to the very very bottom there should be a prompt. I don't know if it's a base maybe.
So the only place that a really important spot if anyone does enjoy doing this, if you like climbing these ropes,
it's on the side here. This is the first map we're playing in this PO5 by the way.
This is the very very first map. It's called Bank. So on the side of this building right here,
you can look through all of these windows.
I don't know if you guys can see me over here.
Yeah, yeah.
All of these windows are rea- this is like a really important, like, kind of power position
if you grab like some sort of sniping character, you can look through all these windows and
go all the way along this whole wall and you go, oh, that's kind of insane.
How do I see this?
How do I see this?
I'm just letting you know if you like doing this and you want to really, yeah, no,
this is tech.
Someone's probably going to be sitting here for at least a minute.
Oh my God.
So I don't know who wants to do it, but someone's gonna be doing it.
Okay.
Call him the window, bitch.
So one person has to be the window washer.
Let's get you inside the building now.
Come with me, everyone go back down.
Get in the building so you can understand what it looks like.
Okay, cool.
Let's just run on the wall, too.
How do you turn?
Yeah, you can run.
There's no jump key. There's only mantle.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're gonna see a lot of these boarded up windows and doors.
You can either shoot them with a full mag, or you can punch them three times.
How do you punch them?
I don't know the default. Is it my default key's V? I don't know.
V, yeah.
Any time you see a boarded-up window like that, I can barricade it since I'm a defender.
Shit!
But hold on, Charlie. What is this weapon?
Sledgehammer? Or wait, oh, oh, that's for breaching.
So let me show you, let me show you guys something important here.
Okay. Oh, someone's having a call on me. Okay.
Or doki, sorry. You're having a call.
Uh, so, for example...
Defenders can breach this hatch.
What the fuck are you doing, dude?
So now it's called a hard wall, not a soft wall.
Okay, a soft wall, you could break normally like this.
You could break this with bullets, you could shoot through it,
you could push punch holes in it.
But...
When it becomes a reinforced wall like this hatch, that's when you'd use your Hibana gadgets.
So if you want to try using it, shoot your pellets at that.
And then hit it again. Hit the key again. Oh, no. Don't shoot him.
Hit the key again to activate it. It should be on your screen.
I don't know what that key is. Hit the key again.
It should pop up. I don't know what the key bind is because I don't use default.
Middle mouse. Middle mouse. Yeah, middle mouse.
Oh.
That's him.
So you, you...
You are what you call a hard breacher.
You're trying to break those hard walls,
because you're the only person that could do it, I think, on this team.
I don't see anyone else that.
So each class has a special, like, you need your 4-key.
Your special gun is your class.
Yes. Everybody's got gadgets.
This is what a bomb site looks like.
This is what you're trying to look for when you drone as an attacker so when you're sending in your drones
You're looking for hopefully this and when you find it it pings the whole team. Everybody knows where it is
It's got a fire extinguisher in there
You don't have you don't have to plant but yeah, you could you could try it I guess
When you are you guys if you're attacking you're planting this
Like let's be here. I'll just show it with this so now it's planted so it look like this
and I'm the defender so I would when I'm diffusing I'm doing this and you
essentially have to shoot me in the head. That's what it sounds like. If you ever hear that that means someone's
diffusing your bomb. Yeah, the buzzing.
Interesting. So that's weird. So where are we at the attack? We're trying to find the bomb location like this to plant the bomb?
Yeah, technically this is a diffuser, technically.
Think of it kind of backwards, you're planting a diffuser, this is the bomb.
So the attackers are kind of the good guys.
Not like normal traditional games, where they're the back.
Yeah, it's...
Round to the end.
Nice, we won.
Oh, it's good, it's good, it sucks.
Alright, let me...
positions, you should fight in and shoot, et cetera.
Yeah, so right now, it's swapped sides, OK?
So right now, you guys are picking on the left-hand side
of your screen.
It should say where you're trying to defend.
So everybody has to vote on something.
What do you think?
All right, well, if you're tuned into both Shroud
and Justin's stream, Jesse, there
is a big difference in the way that they
are going about teaching these players how
to deal with Rainbow Six.
Shroud is taking a more active and hands-on approach
in a lobby walking them through the actual routine round of a bank.
But, Dustin's not really doing that right now and I think it's quite entertaining to watch the differences.
Yeah, Stroud is like a teacher who's like taking his students through the map and explaining concepts as they go.
I'm watching Justin, he is watching his players complete the tutorial and then saying, we are so screwed.
So, maybe a couple of different strategies going on, but you never know.
Sometimes it's faster selectings evolve on their own. Yeah, I mean at least they're getting the hang of it
And I think Mike is a pretty good teacher
You know I was around when and watch the streams where where shroud was learning the game himself
And he had some really good teachers macy j ammunition people that were familiar with the game or walking him through and rainbow six is a brutally tough game
Bank is a humongous map. I actually think it's the biggest of the five maps
They're gonna play today
So this is not going to be an easy start for these players navigating a map that is this sprawling
three floor you know palace or fortress as you want to call it but I feel like if
you get the idea behind droning and you get the idea behind how to go about
attacking or maybe even just sitting and defending so be in pretty good shape
I don't know if the tutorial is the right place to start but we'll see if
Justin is correct and maybe they are completely screwed and Mike steen is
about to skate their way to a best of five victory final looks like
The strat is going over some defensive topics, so we'll get back into that.
So if anything between two bombsites don't reinforce, anything that's like fully gonna block a bombsite, you're gonna reinforce.
You just try it. You walk up to a wall and it'll say reinforce if you have reinforcements.
It has to be a soft wall. And they look kinda like wooden walls, I guess.
Yeah, you guys could just try it just to see how it works
Okay, I got it
How many reinforcements can we do?
It should say on the
Top of your screens of top left. Oh, yeah, I think
So where did you say we should put the reinforce? I'm just surrounding the bombs. No, yeah
So that this would be what you're doing right now is in between two bomb sites
You want to keep between two bomb sites open? That's cross Matt. You want to keep
You want to keep them open to rotate between them
I see what you mean.
Yeah.
So you would make like you have, you would shotgun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You would rip up all these walls and have a rotate between the two so you can protect
them both.
Ah, Amp, you're a gamer.
Got it.
So who put this here?
That was my fault.
My bad.
I took two there.
That's okay.
Amp, you're a gamer.
What's really important when you're downstairs like this is hatches.
And someone reinforces hatch above, which is good.
Really good.
It's gonna be...
Uh, no, you have plenty of bullets. You have like hundreds of bullets.
You could... You use it to... You use bullets to make rotates. You use grenades to make rotates impact grenades, is what they're called.
Everybody should have a gadget as well if you hit G.
So you could have barbed wire, you could have a barricade, you could have impact grenades.
You could have cameras.
And how do you use this?
Oh, you drop it.
You drop it. Yeah, so this will just hurt me like this and if I'm an attacker. I have to punch it twice
That's one of the newer characters I actually funny enough I actually don't know what that wall does
I actually have no proof
You gotta step over it
Um, okay, so whoever picked Frost, who's Frost right now, who's this?
Okay, that character is really, really good.
For sure.
These Frostbats, if I walk over it, I die.
I literally instantly die.
And don't, you guys can walk over it just fine, but like enemies can't.
They'll get knocked down.
If we all play Frost, and we just litter the floor, the goal, the goal to win here
And I think Justin's gonna have the same strategy is play characters that are trap characters frost drops those mats
Cap can we'll put like tripwire on a door and cause it to explode
Legion will put little poison traps on the ground if you walk over them
They're like little poison needles. I think that's kind of what we're gonna want to do on defense
I just don't know if you have access. Yeah tower defense essentially
I don't know if you guys have access to those characters though. I don't know if they're part of the basic
Yeah, I just don't know if we just
Well, if you can't all be frosts, there's only one person, right?
Oh, it's like...
And where you want to put those frost mats, typically, are in, like, sneaky doorways or windows.
You know, like, someone... someone might walk around this door here, you might want to place it, like, down here,
or you might want to run upstairs and put it, like, next to a window where they might jump through.
Okay.
I think what we do, again, we barricade everything.
And hide.
And we force them through, and we hide.
Yes.
Let him walk in.
Can you put a flash trap down and walk into it so we can see what it looks like?
No. Oh, yes.
Yeah, I mean... Oh, you broke it.
Do you have any more left?
Are you in barricades?
I can go to this.
No, you only have a certain number of...
Oh, the barricades? Yes.
The reinforcement, though.
I'm building, man.
Yeah, you're...
You only have 45 seconds of prep phase, so I know we have, like, an infinite amount of time to mess around,
but the second it starts...
The second the round starts, it's go time, you're instantly running to walls, reinforcing, dropping all of your utile everywhere.
That's a good character.
Hey, try! How many do you recommend to send them this thing, and how many should be like outside?
Yeah, so...
Typically the slower characters like to play inside the sights. Every character has a certain speed to them.
You'll see it when you're picking the characters.
So if you're like one of the slower characters, you're gonna play in bombsites, and if you're one of like...
The faster characters, you'll play outside of the bombsite.
So maybe like two maybe three in sight and two outside of sight something like that will be fine
Oh, you can just shoot me just shoot me in the head we'll start next round
Okay
That's what you're doing!
I am!
Now, for those that are figuring out the cut and press of this game, you're gonna have
three rounds on attack, three rounds as defenders.
Now, when you play a lot of first person shooter games, I think it's fair to say that everybody hates camping,
but in Rainbow Six, camping is not only viable, but an incredibly important part of a defender setup.
You will do what's called anchoring.
There's more to it than this, but simplistically you're going to have
roamers where defenders will roam all over the map to catch attackers off guard
and then you're gonna have a couple defenders that are just gonna be sitting
down near the objective anchoring or as most people would know camping. It is a
very viable part. It can be kind of boring to watch, but you are doing an
incredibly hard but important job. So don't get angry when you see players
just sitting still because they are doing something that is necessary to
win the round. Yeah I like the strategy going through here with
having a couple of trap operators making them sit in the site and then hopefully
having some roamers go around the site as well maybe some of those faster
operators you saw some of the trap ops there we did see an observation blocker
that Shroud didn't seems quite know what it did it's a little bit newer in the
game all that's gonna do is block line of sight on attackers drones not that
powerful of a gadget so there's a little bit of info if you weren't aware of
that one and a quick update on Justin's practice as well his players
are they're really getting close to finishing the tutorial okay they're
They're getting that.
Yeah, sorry.
God help us.
Where are we going?
There's nothing on the roof.
What is going on?
It looks like Jesse, they're going to do another attacking round.
I imagine some of this will revolve around information gathering because they didn't
really spend as much time on drone as I would have liked to have seen in the very first
round.
So why don't we head back in and see what Mike is going to give them for guidance
for the next, hopefully not 28 minutes.
There's a lot of pillars.
Where's the door?
Oh, you just killed me.
Yeah, I got your drone, sorry.
Drinking fountain, guys. Drinking fountain room.
Yeah.
Are we allowed to ping as a little race car?
Yeah, so if you... Z... Z is gonna be...
Dude, you guys don't know any comms for anything.
So if you see anything, just hit Z.
Z will be your number one way of communicating to each other.
Maybe we can have someone stand the drone and scout for us for traps.
Yeah, no, I can't there's no way I can 1v3
They're gonna be five
Savics and soda are completely AFK you could plan
You could plan for
You could plan either either one you guys are gonna come up with a strategy to try to take either or
Yeah, you guys are planning
Probably a normal game, 30 minute round.
Look at the way he's doing it.
That's funny.
That's funny.
Alright.
Where is he?
Let's go.
I'm very afraid. I'm not gonna lie.
Let's go.
Let's go.
He's already down on my screen.
We can lean. Q and E are lean mechanics.
I rebound Q and E for strafing.
Make sure to look at this pumpkin round.
How do you die like that?
Where are you guys?
Amp, we're over here, we're over here.
We're in here Amp.
I'm stuck in a tank.
What are we doing?
What are you guys doing?
What are we doing?
This is bad.
At least I keep my grenade.
Guys you guys, you guys don't have to press your buttons man.
I'm trying to figure out how to throw a grenade out.
I don't know how to flank him. Where's it? Where do we?
Go through these
There's gotta be a way
How do you how do you use your?
Guys I'm trying to press G. What is G? Why can't I use this thing?
It's it's a claymore for me. I think you don't you is different. No, I got it. I got it
Heard you heard you break the hatch I don't know where you are. Don't tell them
Okay, now we're gonna go to the other one
It's gotta be guys we only have 25 minutes left. It's fine over here. Okay. I'm gonna start knocking this one down
Bro, how do we get to this?
Below us man, are there stairs over here? Can't believe our whole teams ran and died like that
There we go.
I'm sorry.
I'm just blown up later.
I'm screwed.
I mean, I'm just...
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm holding the door.
How did I plant it?
It's all in doing, man.
Is he behind us?
I found him! I found him!
I got him!
Oh, what the hell did he do?!
What?!
He shot me through the wall!
No, no, no, watch the kill cam!
No, that's not gonna work!
Yeah, that's not gonna work!
You cheating?
Yeah.
You're damn right he is!
What all grenades are!
I don't put the grenade key behind.
Oh!
Gee, I have one of these.
He's hiding! He's hiding! He's hiding!
I don't know how to plant this thing, man. I'm gonna be honest.
Yeah, you hold that you hold that. No, it's a dot f
Well a 1v5 as we've seen it happens like this all the time what I will say though very quickly
It sounds like they're all ready to ready to play siege because they were saying on my accent on my body
And then they said can't believe my teammates ran in and all died. These are very familiar
Circumstances for the average siege player. So, you know what? Maybe they've never played this game before but after that round
I couldn't fool me. I look back y'all are right there. I go and I die. I'm like, oh, that's fine
We know where he is Russia again. We got our strats down. Let's try again. There's the characters
Yeah, so right now you guys you guys would be spending you guys would be defending right now
So the characters are gonna be completely different on defense and offense
They're two completely different characters with two set of abilities.
Okay, we're defending. This should be easier to reinforce.
Yeah, so yeah, use all of your reinforcements right now.
I'll reinforce this wall.
I just want to let you guys know the other team, Pao, just finished the tutorials.
So they have got zero practice.
Okay, let's see.
That's really unfortunate. That's really unlucky that they had no practice.
Okay, this one's hard. This wall's all so hard.
I will say in this game it is significantly easier to defend so
there's no way I beat you guys. No way.
Wait. No I'm telling you I will not win I promise. Wait who did this why are we
closing these doors? We should probably see what's going on like you guys want
stay down there should we kind of like see if he's gonna enter the paint at all
behind you sorry you behind you oh you want to you want to make sure you use
all of your reinforcements okay I was just gonna kind of like like check
some of these flames to make sure it's not around here you know what I mean you
got it
Yeah, I don't know are we fully closed in the bombs it's really a back entrance or do you
have to come through the front oh my god this this gun has a lot of kids this
is the F2 right it was I'm rushing press the firing I'm just shooting so he
can't hear anything remember remember you guys are on defense you guys are on
defense you don't need to you don't need to run me down
Oh, they were doing something like this.
Oh, one piece of very important information, okay?
If you're hiding and you feel safe in a corner, right now, you can hit five and you'll have
access to the cameras around the whole map.
No way.
I feel safe.
So, right now, if you feel safe, hit five.
Just do it anyway.
Just hit five until you get an understanding of what it looks like.
Now look through all the cameras and tell me if you can see me.
I'm going to stand on the camera.
Oh, I dropped this camera earlier.
Oh, I see you.
You see me on a camera right now?
Oh my goodness! I'm scared!
What are you doing?!
Get down there!
So now you scared me, you know where I am!
Sorry, come back bro!
I'm back, I know I'm back there man!
Wait, I got this, I know what to do, I know what to do!
One thing that's also different about this game is when you're dead, your goal is to go on cameras.
Like most other tactical shooters, when you die you don't do anything, you just sit there.
In this game you're on cameras, you're given comms, you're on drones, you're whatever, you're helping while you're dead.
you're dead. If you hit Z right now, it should say 1 ping or 2 ping or 3 ping.
But if you want to communicate like, hey there's one on 3 ping, you know what I'm saying?
When you hit Z, you should say the number.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I need to get us on another map so you guys can see what the other maps look
Like this is just bank. This is just one of the five that we're playing
Yo, yo, yo stairs stairs stairs. Oh my I think I think one he's that one
That's a good spot. I like that
He might go to different direction now cuz now he's still there. No, I definitely saw it's a little head poke up
Yeah, now that I said that he's running to
uh
audio cues are really and something happened so you cues are really important and loud in this game so you can hear people running around like crazy
Okay, I mean he's probably flipping around
Oh see there is that's the frost trap see that's gonna happen a lot to everybody
Oh my...
Did you guys see that kill cam too?
Oh, yeah.
It's like those traps are paying off for Shroud's teammates getting the win.
He also had another quote there that I think is very relatable for every siege player.
We said, who closed this door?
There's nothing more annoying in siege than making a rotate or making an angle
and then having your teammate reinforce right over top of it.
So, expect to see some of that when we get into the game.
And then just click attackers and then tell me like one by one. Just tell me what you got you should only have like
Well, I'm back sorry about that
Do you want us to tell you the attacker? Yeah, tell me what exactly which attackers just go through one by one
What you have so I know first I have striker sledge thatcher thermite glaze, but black to your cappuccino
Hibana, Jack, or getting Zofia, Pinka?
Okay, okay, I think I got that.
Alright, is that what everybody else?
That's Cappuccino's a crazy one.
Is that so?
I think I have Cappuccino too.
I got Cappuccino.
What game, bro?
What characters do you have on attackers specifically?
I'm going to give you a screenshot, you can just look at their icon, you'll know.
Now, I know that we joked obviously about this being an easy game to learn, but
But I hope that people who are unfamiliar with Siege can just kind of grasp how overwhelming
it is for new players.
Now there's a reason why Ubisoft tends to onboard people with some of the smaller maps.
Bank is certainly not the map I would have people starting on, but I honestly got to
give Shroud a lot of credit here and no, I'm not just glazing him.
The way that he is onboarding these players is actually really beneficial and I'm quite
impressed at how quickly his team has picked up on some of the, I guess kind
a finer point of Rainbow Six so far. Yeah I have to agree Parker I think so far
things are going pretty well for Team Shroud it seems like they've got the
traps down they've got the bomb sites more or less understood attacking I think
it's still gonna be a real challenge for them but I was impressed that they
managed to take down Shroud in the 1v5 I honestly thought he was gonna be able
to beat them on both sides of the map but it shows some promise again we're
keeping some tabs on Justin's stream it feels like they are so close to
starting their first custom match I think he's got four of his teammates or three of his teammates in
the lobby to start off the game so definitely a time advantage for Stroud but we still have
almost a full hour so I think just his team are going to get some good practice in here soon.
Yeah I think I think Stroud even said we'll try you on a different map so you guys can learn
the hang of this and I think that's a great idea you know if we're going to border next
which is hostage so it is obviously very different hostage is just the one character that
that you need to rescue and then extract, whereas Balm is more akin to some other game modes
and other games as was touched upon by some of these streamers here.
Learning a map like Border is going to be a lot easier.
It's a smaller map, it's a bit more compact.
The only major difference between the way that Bank has approached and Border, or
the casual viewer, is going to be the level of destruction.
Bank has a lot of hard floors that you can't shoot through, walls that you can't
shoot through.
Border doesn't really have that.
A lot of the floors in Border are completely destructible, meaning you can sit on
that top floor and look down as opponents walk through doorways you can shoot out walls
quite easily and then of course hostage is just well it's it's hostage it's not a balanced
game mode it's very funny it's gonna have some meme content we've already seen some
good meaning with bombs so I imagine we're gonna see the same with hostage but yeah maybe
go to a smaller map and work on some of the more I guess like foundational stuff
droning if you're on attack I love that that shroud said the moment you die you
get on cams that is sage advice for anybody who plays this game so already teaching them
fundamentals of siege very quickly
yeah it seems like things are going pretty well here in the shroud camp
border is thought to be the most attacker sided map out of the competitive
maps that we have in rainbow six sometimes it's just such a small map
you can't fit as many traps in or the traps are easier to spot clear out
with your own attacker utility so sometimes border leans more into the
gunfight side of siege so I'm looking forward to seeing if that is where we
end up going for this next setup of practice
now obviously Mike is still teaching and imparting wisdom as he goes through
his operators? Let's see what he has to say as uh coaching continues on.
Cappuccino, Cappuccino. Cappuccino is cool, he has a great gun, it's really easy to control,
not a lot of recoil. Ash has a lot of recoil, so I guess it's probably too hard, maybe we
won't do Ash. Cappuccino's got a great gun, easy to control, really really fast. He swaps
between his, his gadget is swapping between a crossbow that's incendiary, so like a molly
or a smoke grenade. You just shoot a crossbow and you just pop smoke instantly.
um they what are your typical roles in uh and world of warcraft dps okay
window okay if you want to play window bitch you should play
out of those same characters which i'm assuming you have two of the same characters as chance
what are the three more that you have
I like the woman I take a lot.
Uh, what Dokeby does is she has like a marksman kind of gun, so it's like a single tapper.
Pretty easy to control, but if you want to play on Windows, what you're going to do is
your gadget is you call the defender's phones.
So once your team is inside the building, once they're inside the building and they
need more information, you call the phones and you can tell them.
Make sure you guys tell each other what you're doing.
So if you tell them, hey guys, I'm calling their phones, everybody that's inside the
building has to listen for the ringtone and if you hear it, you'll know where
they are.
Great character.
Yeah, um
Let's see for Zaryu. You said that's Dokobie Dokobie. Yeah
Zaryu do you have the same characters as the starter ones?
I think I'm I have about the same as them. Yeah
Okay
striker sledge that shirt there my
glass
Blackbeard, Cappuccino, Havana, Chackle, Ying, and Sophia, and Tokubi.
I'm gonna be honest. You could be pretty flexible here. These are all like great characters. Sledge, Sledge is fantastic.
He could just like use a sledgehammer and just break all of those walls that are soft because the enemy team is gonna forget to reinforce for sure.
You guys are also gonna forget to reinforce. This game has so many things to remember.
Yeah, you're gonna forget. It's gonna happen. It's fine. So maybe you play Sledge?
or Blackbeard. Blackbeard, Sledge just has a Sledge Hammer, he slams walls, great.
Blackbeard has a deployable shield that goes over and covers his face so you're
a little bit more protected. You're kind of like a duelist when you play
Blackbeard. You're kind of going in first. You're going in first and you're taking
yeah that's really really cool. You're gonna be lift that shield up and
you're gonna be the first point of contact and your goal is to try to be
a little aggressive and take fights. Okay, maintain. I got it. Yeah those two
characters. If you guys ever want to try other characters, feel free. It's not the end of
the world. Honestly, I don't expect you guys to use your gadgets correctly anyway. So just
there's a character that looks fun. Play the damn character. It's okay. And on defenders,
I saw you guys posted all your stuff. So let me just give some like basic rundown
on some defender characters. We want to use traps. So our goal is to have characters
that have traps. So let's see. Capcan, do you guys have Capcan unlocked? It looks like a hook on the defender side.
The little red icon, it's got a hook on it. It's at the top right. Okay, Capcan, that's a must have. Make sure
somebody's playing him. Whoever wants to place basically bombs on doorways. That's what Capcan does.
Frost, which is the blue spiky mat on the left hand side of your screen. Make sure someone's playing
Frost
Legion which is the spiky orange and white symbol right in the middle. That's another character you're gonna play if
Anyone that wants to be sneaky and run around if anyone's like more of a rogue player here and maybe like go stealth and stuff
There's cavera
Yeah, cavera is a
Yeah, but someone else could play you guys could change it up to you could play cavera one time
and then someone else could play Kavera. You could change it up. I'm just kind of giving you guys a quick little rundown of what you may like.
Kavera is the green kind of like whispering symbol on the left hand side next to Frost.
Her gadget makes it so when you hit the button you basically have silent footsteps or close to silent.
So you could run around the map and be really sneaky and shoot people in the back.
And when you kill them, there's a down state in this game which I actually didn't show you but I can show you in the next map.
I don't know if that's going to be very good for our team since we don't know the map, I don't...
Well, why it's nice though is you could run around without them hearing you, you know what I mean?
I was so overwhelmed playing that I just assumed it's my teammates footsteps.
That's fair, that's a fair point, but yeah, that's a fair point.
That's not going to be my leader there.
Yeah, maybe Kavera might be too tough.
At that level, we're not at yet.
Okay, then we'll do another trap-ish character that you guys have. Do you guys have Ella?
It's like a blue and white little thing in the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay
Ella, she places little concussion mines when they walk into it. They get stunned. It's great for information
You can place it on corridors near the bomb site. Perfect
Besides that I would say if anyone wants to be an anchor
It wants to sit in the bomb site and never move you want to be a tank
You want to give people shields you play Rook Rook is right next to cap can at the top
Yeah, I'm tanking
Okay
Perfect, but on attacker what what should I do? There's I want to play one of the shield guys
Maybe you go block beard ampy if you want to maintain cock it I could do something else
Yeah, he has a front he has a front-facing shields like it's not a full shield. It's just for his head his headshot basically
You I saw that you had blitz when you played blitz is a blitz is a great character
That's like a that's like a fast tank you're running in there quickly and you're breaching rooms
Like you're breaching rooms fast and you're really really confident. I
Would say blitz is a great choice
sick
Let's get into the second map to see you guys and see what it looks like
So let's go over this so we're on attacking. Yes play Habanero. What was it?
Yeah, Hibana, Habanero, Hibana, or Thermite?
And Thermite.
Okay, and Viki is on the cell phone calling bitch.
Yeah, Dope, Dope, you're being sad.
Savics, you're on the Pino.
Cavatino, Cavatel.
I'm on Blitz, what's great.
I'll go Blackbeard potentially Sledge if I'm feeling it.
Yep.
Okay, now on Defenders, Ampi is on who?
Rook? Okay, Viki is on who?
You could play Lesion, you could play Capcan, do you know any of these characters at all or no?
I don't know, I mean you covered them, I had Thorn in it, it says she also deploys traps, is that...
Oh Thorn? You have Thorn?
Yeah, I just have Thorn in the other room.
Yeah, you could play Thorn, you basically just put like traps, little spiky traps on the doors, similar.
I can play lesion. He's a poison bitch, right? Yeah, he plays with poison on the ground. Exactly.
I'll play lesion, get him on thorn. Zarya is on who? On defenders?
Either capcan or frost would be great choices.
If savix is doing frost, I'll do...
Oh, where's capcan? Okay, capcan?
Yeah. Sets booby traps on windows. Yeah, I can capcan.
He's he honestly you guys are probably gonna die to cap can a lot and
You're probably gonna get a whoever's cap can is probably gonna be top-fragging. I'm gonna be honest with you
If you guys are not gonna be aware, I'm gonna show you guys what it looks like on this map
I'm gonna get you guys in a custom right now
And then I want to make sure the other team is situated because they have been having way more of a struggle than us
Yeah, I mean they have payo and P. Yeah, they payo just finished
It's I want to make sure they're good because they I don't even think they've gotten a single little bit of practice yet
Yeah, you might not need to help them out to a little bit because I feel like you guys are I feel like you guys already got this
This is the winning team make sure you guys write down your class. Let's get in the game
Let's play our class one game and then I'll feel comfortable
You could do 2v3 yeah
Oh wait, we should have scored in for like 30 minutes, we just started getting all the callouts and everything.
Yup.
Damn right.
Let's start sweating guys, let's do it.
Uh, oh I need to change the time.
Oh two.
Oh, one, we have a little bit of curveball here.
Make it a little bit more chaotic just for fun.
We're doing bomb on the first mode.
This mode will be hostage.
What does that mean?
That means your goal is no longer to go into the site and plant the diffuser
Your goal is to go into the site find the hostage throw them over your shoulder and get out of the building
That's use impossible. Are you guys in a game? I
I had to restart my game.
Uh, hi, man.
I think we're ready.
Let me invite you.
Yeah, invite your guy.
I mean, that doesn't make sense, though, because, like, I feel like all of us would...
What if one of us gets out with the hostage, right?
Then you get the point. You get the point, yeah.
Okay, that doesn't make sense, because four people died for one person's life.
Yeah, but that person's very, very important.
That's true.
Oh, shit, man.
That's crazy. What is this absurd man? Do you guys want to see what it's like to have actual normal time instead of infinite round time?
And so you got a gauge on how long it takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Let me change the rules
And I do that now that I picked it
So I was gonna ask about Mira is that a character Mira is a good character. I just didn't want to you guys could test it
No, I'm comfortable we have
Mira basically puts little one-way glass that you could see through it, but they can't.
You can't shoot through it or anything, but you could see.
So it's pretty good, you could put it on like a reinforced wall or something, just for info.
Mira's a great character, if someone wants to be an anchor,
that's what I'm saying, like feel free to try other characters,
you don't have to be locked into these guys, like just try it out and then just ask me what it does.
I'm a druid and I'm doing poison, it makes sense.
I need to re-host in order to make it the rules, so let me just do that real quick.
I want I want you guys to see the actual round timing
Should we leave this one? Yeah, we change the round timing on this
45
45 prep days and
We want to jump in really quickly here as we're getting the second practice set up going because we've talked a little bit with the Operator.
Shroud went over a bunch of ops and I like his choices Parker, but there's two operators that have been changed recently, which I'm not sure Shroud is aware of.
The first one is Thorn. They almost didn't have a Thorn on our team, but she got a massive buff in one of the most recent patches and her traps are even more lethal than Capcans these days.
So watch out for the Thorn pick. That's going to be a crazy good pick. The other one is the Blackbeard.
He no longer just has a face shield, but he has a full body shield much like Monty or Blitz
Not sure if they want something like that into their comp
But they should discover that pretty soon if they're gonna be loading into a real game. Yeah
I mean, I I've been I've been a little active while we've been listening along with these comps
Because I think it's great to hear the players figure this out for themselves
And obviously Mike has a lot of wisdom that he can bring you know
That rainbow six is a game that he knows quite well
He's got hundreds if not thousands of hours in it at this point
But I said in his chat a doke of the lion
Game-os Monty and blackbeard is like assembling the five parts of Exodia
It's just such an obnoxious lineup to deal with at all levels of gameplay
But when you're playing up against, you know five people who play world of Warcraft
I feel like it's almost like a war crime to bring that lineup against them because there's no amount of trap ops
They're gonna slow that down unless you completely bottle it. So there's lots of tools here for both teams
I am a little worried at this present time about the
that Justin's team is going to have especially if they were struggling to get out of the tutorial but I mean they're in a lobby
They're in a lobby now. They're out of the tutorials. So there is progress there. I
Believe there's a clap you know on twitch still I feel like that's worthy of some applause right there, but yeah, I mean it's
It's gonna be interesting to see the way they approach bomb and hostage on these maps and you know
Justin's team is gonna have to do some some learning on the job. It seems like
I'm trying to listen to see if there's anything more to comment on, but right now, I don't think there is, I think they're just trying to get back in the lobby, but ultimately, again, all they've done is the tutorial.
Are they going to be comfortable with drone air? Are they going to be comfortable with reinforcements and stuff like that?
Because again, the tutorial and the situations and all that weren't exactly the strongest.
Strongest anyway, that's just idle speculation. Let's get back in to the action
Me do a game because I don't know I will I will come back
Also, let's talk about worst case scenario
Worst case scenario, I can't play
Did we get a sub for me? I I don't know wait
Wait, what's happening? He's having ears
Okay, I'm going to the main menu for everybody in the game. We're gonna try to figure this out again. I
Can't invite him every single time he gets invited to my custom apps. He gets kicked instantly
Ah
He's having like our six shield guard problems. Oh, yeah, I don't know what's going on
Everyone else can join fine he cannot
And he joined I kind of want to see if you can join my game
Yeah, I try to join it listed and I'm playing in listed right now, but I think it's just a game here
I think I'm gonna what's your what's your social name?
I think it's just that's my TV. It's been TV. Okay, and then I
Want to make sure
I
Hello, hi, I just want to make sure you guys are good. I'm sorry my team is so ready. It's insane like
It's insane
Thank you guys for coming by the way. I'm sorry that you guys had your problems here
What did you say your team is insane? They're so ready. It's crazy like that you go over there
It's through the yeah, no, I know they're they just got an ego though. It's crazy
Yeah, it's a
Do we mix the teams?
To make it easier.
He wants to win.
I think Chance would be really upset.
But that's okay. Listen.
They're not ready, like as in like, they're mentally ready in the sense of like they're just confident.
But trust me, they're not ready.
You know what I mean?
I have actually a really good feeling about you guys.
I thought we weren't supposed to load the game before today.
before today. Yeah, nobody nobody wanted it. Oh, oh, I mean, I did, I'm gonna be honest,
I didn't know about the tutorial myself. I had no clue.
Uh, that's fine. What's your name?
I think I really bought it back then. I'm gonna I'm gonna use it as a way I have the
I have the Shroud Logitech, so for sure we're gonna win tonight because of it.
Perfect, I honestly hope you do, but don't tell my team that.
Okay, okay, I won that one.
I don't see S-Fan.
Click, go to the main menu, S-Fan, and then go top right and check your profile real quick.
I just want to know what your actual name is because S-Fan is not it.
Do I enjoy green tea?
No, that's production.
Click the very, very top of the little symbol just so I know what your name is, your profile
symbol.
Is it S-Fan TV?
Oh, it's S-Fan TV.
Damn, how do you now?
How did you now accept that really quick are you shroud yes, that's me
That's cool. I want to go away. I want to see
I'm also any of the friend of Western production. I
Don't think about it honestly
By the way, strong as I look when you face to roll and pushing your ass you got a
Hey, that was listen pay oh that was like my first arena game. Okay. I got better. I got better since then okay, I speak that I speak
I got so carried that game that was freaking awesome. I invited the rest of my
He's in my party yeah, no he got in the party but when
Yeah, let me try to let me see if I can get a customer or run around. It doesn't matter
I'm gonna move to my channel just to make sure
I'm just letting you guys know they have some tech issues like S-Fan can't play the game
That's why I remade the lobby. He's literally hasn't been able to play. Sorry. I'm going back down though
Okay, so this is where you he's in my he's in my thing. No, I know I mean
everyone else can join except for him on me
he gets like an R6 shield guard
err, air
okay try to invite him now
I just joined the clearing squad leaders match request
please stand by
I invited you as fan
can you try to invite me too? just huber me invite me trustin
I've sent them all.
Was there an update to this game?
Uh, yeah, today, but they should have already got the updates.
And you see them.
Yeah, they're all hiding from me.
It's like, uh...
So, who are we venting?
I'm getting clearing squad leaders matchmaking requests. Please stand by. It's just kind of stalling here.
Nothing. I'm also I'm also stalling.
Justin, have you tried returning? No, but you should restart.
They can all... I was able to join just now.
Yeah, I left it just now too.
Yeah, it stalls for me too, which is weird.
I restarted.
Do we know if custom games are dedicated servers or are they off your hopes?
I believe they're dedicated.
That's greater than we're having problems.
Capsulek.
Should ask him, try to invite us.
Why, okay.
No, what is this, bro?
I cannot walk.
I cannot put, can I?
I'm going to ask you.
I'm getting it.
Is everything all right over there?
Wait, are you kidding me?
It's gonna be fun
Can I can I bind that look?
You could yeah, yeah, you could buy whatever you like. He was having problems with binding in the tutorial
But I think since he finished it you probably can buy now
Yeah, she saw he thinks my bad. I thought I was gonna bind to that. I wish we knew that we had to do a tutorial
I figured you just blowed up. I didn't know that
Yeah, so I'm joining game my
Where am I?
I'm restarting my game so I don't think there's a lobby right now. There isn't unless it's Mike's restarting my game
It takes a minute. Yeah, no the game takes a second. Oh
I'm gonna I enjoy grotesque game right now. Okay, I spend yeah currently you're in my custom lobby
Okay, and I can see it. Yep. So you're all good. Thank you. You can hit space bar just to swap side
Okay, so it's working. It's just something to do something to do with Justin's lobby had a problem
He was able to get into this before like Justin's lobby and then he got DC'd a few minutes in right no
Well, it was loading and then it after like 30 seconds it like kicked me up
We can try spinning it up. Justin if you have everyone had it. I do
Can you?
Or I sent can you send them a friend request or I can send it if you want to send it
I think Justin's game was the problem. Let's be honest. It's just it's just send me an invite you
Right
Yeah, I think the restart will do it. I think it was something to do with your lobbies. I'm here in bite
I don't know. It's weird though that the rest of them can join. I don't I couldn't try though
I don't know Siege could just bug out sometimes I guess new season
It's not coming up
Yep
my crouch is a target. Wait, why'd you guys go separate channels? What's going on here?
We're 2v3ing right now. Oh, that makes sense.
Go to the workshop. Fuck it, workshop.
Hit it. Or are you guys trying to set up a custom?
We're in a custom. We're just playing the characters we picked ourselves.
I see. Yeah, they're having all sorts of
weird issues. They haven't been able to practice at all.
like literally they had we we yet you guys have gotten like all of this kind of like prep work
the guys got to understand but they all right we should stop them right i mean i don't i don't
think it's that big a deal but okay it is what it is just do your do your thing they're trying
to figure it out are you do you guys want me to set up this custom we're already in oh you're
Yeah, we're good.
Yeah.
Thank you, though.
We gotta defend this one person, right?
Yes.
Shit.
How do we reinforce?
I think you need to flip the thing.
Reinforces only on soft walls?
So it has to be like a wall that looks kind of like...
Wow, that is fast.
Wood, I guess.
It has to be like a wooded looking wall.
I killed a drone.
So, Chance, is your FOV... Can you give me a favor and just turn that FOV up?
What's it at?
I think it's like... I think you got a lower FOV.
Go to Graphics, I believe.
Then scroll down.
Not in Graphics, of course.
Display? Field of view. I'm at 60.
Yeah, yeah, crank that, crank that to 90.
Everybody should do that if you're on 60.
Yeah, go to escape, go to options, go to display, and then go field of view, make that 90.
Okay, I'm gonna...
I kind of forgot that you guys don't play shooting games, so that's pretty important information, that's my bad.
Yeah, no idea what's going on.
That's FPS 101, you know, take me to the FOB, my bad, that's fail coach.
I'm going, Kams.
Whoa.
I see him, I see him, I see him, I'm thinking.
Oh, I'm still putting up reinforcements.
Oh, my team is gonna shield players soda they're right there in front of you
Blast him they have a shield up though my team is gonna own give an A. I see
My team is absolutely gonna own this is gonna be so unfair
Not because like they're better, but because they've been able to play
This is rough. Can you come in did you get my invite?
I
Been owning pay on the 1v1. Are we ready? Yeah, we're ready to go. We got all two. I'm gonna invite you guys
Are you guys like okay? Listen our pica pica and pay are you guys like sleepers like secretly really good FPS players?
pale absolutely not I mean pale kill themselves
Not pale not pale, okay
So that is it I did the call open back then final call me with proof
Okay, I mean you're just telling me how old you are man like it's that's that's in the past. We're talking now
No, I was just asking like how good good you guys because I have a feeling I
Have a feeling that don't tell my team this okay, but I have a feeling you guys are all better
FPS gamers, okay, so meanwhile they have been practicing they have been in the custom for about an hour now
They've been practicing you guys may have not but
You guys I think are shooters. I think every single way. I totally believe that
Yeah, I
Believe in everything I also lobby
Yeah, payo join up the lobby. Don't lobby
Is it working? Is Svan in there and stuff?
Yeah, it's fine now.
Oh, can I invite him again? Sorry.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, we might.
Probably while you're gassing the other team.
I want them to enjoy themselves.
I don't want them to be upset.
Are we going to reverie D?
Green T, are you here?
Yeah.
You're going to need to start it
when he's on the other team from me.
So, who is Justin?
Your friend with...
you can introduce yourself because we don't know who you are I'm just I'm just a
streamer I used to play professional counter strike and I had like two thousand
hours in this game I really did three counter strikes back then how did you meet
Sheld for fun 2012 I think I met Sheld before you're Sheld
really and you guys met you guys a big counter strike I really counter strike
we were fighting each other we were in the same team we were on the same team
Yeah, I think you have like eight viewers and I was like hey you want a game no way
Yeah for sure yeah, I've known him for like what 14 years 13 years
Been a long time
I wish I had a friend a long time like this
You guys not long-time friends
I don't I just got
Yeah
One thing I do need from you though is to join the lobby
coffee. That's something. Don't
tell me it's bugged. Yeah, he's
on my god. Oh my god. We have
more issues. Isn't it? Is it a
skill issue? Pay or is it
actually not working? It's an
issue right now, but I see
it. It says he's in the party
too. I think it's a
legitimately bug. You need to
restart your game. You got
that loading bug. Oh really?
Oh my god, wait, I think they beat to the fucking EZ.
That's great.
No, what is this?
That's super unfortunate.
Yeah, that's definitely a way to explain it.
Yeah, this is very unfortunate.
We, ours was pretty smooth.
I guess we did have, we did have this happen once,
but they just restarted our game and it fixed.
Really, but I'm looking sorry.
No, you're good man.
your fault we're all here for the vibes so did you guys did you guys did you guys at
least get a little rundown of your characters and who you guys are gonna
play yet like one thing and then they started killing each other no no be fair
okay we spent half an hour waiting for everybody to tutorial and then once we
got it and Espen was immediately disconnected so we couldn't play it
wouldn't do anything I like you said everyone when it was only me but thank
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Yeah, I didn't want to call you up. Yeah, no, it's fine. I appreciate it. Listen, what okay?
Do you guys have all of the starter characters or do you have extra characters?
Should I
My team my team my team has the basics as well. It didn't work maybe I don't know
So it's just at least it'll be a fair game. Nobody has any pay-to-win really strong characters
That's good good operators for defense, but they don't have some of my names. Yeah, that's where we left off
I only got like one sentence in before it didn't work
No, you are okay
Please work watch out
We're supposed to go live very soon operator the codes for
the codes are the codes are for the old days in he's in the new setup gris and
you okay start start yeah okay okay okay huge huge okay okay I am gonna need
you guys pale and pika I'm talking to you specifically both of you okay both of
you guys need to lock in okay Justin here is probably two times the player
I am which means these two times the coach. I am but you guys a lock in take this next a little bit of information in the next
Like 15 20 minutes, okay?
Pretend you're at school for a second. Okay, really really lock in listen to his words and
I bet you you guys are gonna slap some ass once again. Don't tell my team that okay?
Please don't I'm gonna go hang out with them. Okay. Good luck with here with the rest of your
We're gonna we're gonna go live here soon, okay?
The O5 is happening in like 20-30 minutes. It sucks. 20 minutes? Are you kidding me?
I know, I know, I know. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. Shut up. Get out of my channel.
Okay, I'm out of here. I'm gone. Okay, listen, listen, listen.
Okay, I let them know the really bad news. We're going live in like 20 minutes so that
they're finally in the server together. They finally are getting time to practice
and they have 20 minutes. It's gonna happen. We're so good. We're so good all of a sudden.
I know, I have a strong feeling you guys are going to do insanely good.
Insanely well, but they don't do that.
What? Okay, sorry, English, failed English actually in the 9th grade.
Little bit about me.
I thought about going from hop down, like that, hatch.
Oh shit!
We could utilize the hatch next time.
Oh shit, nobody.
Let me go watch all.
I hear you.
Extreme, are these traps? My three skills?
Yeah, three skills.
Steps on three.
Left of Stabix.
Make sure you're putting make sure you're putting your goo everywhere chance
I can't believe I got all these people to play siege. I can't believe I got all these people to play siege
I cannot believe I cannot believe I have these people playing siege for the first time ever
This is insane. Imagine being in 2026 you only play MMORPGs and it's time to play Rainbow Six Siege.
A game that has existed for over a decade of content has come out in this game.
I can't believe they all said yes.
Oh, he got me from the roof, he got me from the roof, I think.
Tell him to use traps, yeah, I tried.
I got him from the roof, vibe, right above me is where he shot me, he's ours there too.
I don't mean to intrude, Chance, but you have six goo mines, bottom right, oh you're
fighting, you're fighting.
I'm dead, but I got one.
What do I have?
The goo, the goo bottom right, your character's lesion, so you throw all those goo traps,
you get six of them, so you place them everywhere, you literally just throw them,
invisible little poison needles that you place on the ground so that's what your
character does you just make you to make sure you just my my force or what is it
three skill yeah there's the the gadget which is like your grenade or your
barricade or something and then your actual middle mouse key is your main
gadget oh I didn't know that it's your main ability versus gadget yeah the
how do I use the cappuccino crossbow?
they're no longer invisible?
is it middle mouse as well?
I played it a while
it's been...
Mr. Shroud?
sorry?
that makes my bad
how do you use the crossbow on the cappuccino guy?
it's this...
on every character, your main ability is going to be your middle mouse key
okay, so when I press it, it just shoots out?
when you press it, it takes the crossbow out
out and then you can hit X I believe to swap from smokes to incendiary you'll
see the character like swap the shell just try it out in this custom make sure
you guys use that's pretty much all I want you guys to kind of understand is
like how to use your character stuff and okay I don't expect I don't expect you
guys to learn the map it's that's so complicated I tried to fucking ping with
middle mouse where I died where they are okay it's B to swap my character
My buttons X. I think. I don't know.
The VORX, I forgot.
Damn, look at that scanning. Look at that, babe.
All right, let's go.
Isn't X the scan button and the VX?
So, middle mouse is my main thing, huh?
Your main ability, yeah.
And then G is your gadget, which will be probably a good-
What does my middle mouse do on my girl, the fidget spinner?
You place little pellets, and it's for hard walls.
So you open up the hard walls, you can make, like, a pattern.
So you can make, for example, a crouch hole.
If you were to do two rows in a perfect little line,
like make a pattern, you can make a crouch hole through a hard wall.
Can we come from the bottom?
Yeah, you could go.
I mean, you can go from the bottom.
There is a character that goes up hatches,
but you guys are not playing him,
and you don't have him unlocked anyway.
Wait, hold on.
I'm going to shoot through this.
Stealing, right?
Middle mouse is bringing up like this gun.
Yeah, and then you left click to shoot the pellets in a pattern.
Wait, now we can see stuff through.
Typically what you guys are doing here where you're going
when you're attacking and you're going vertical, like you're going up.
That's not really recommended because you're obviously at a height disadvantage.
Yeah, you have no way to go up.
So typically don't do that.
Let's go to the same Savicks on Savicks yesterday.
I love this. I can't wait for them to all go live. Okay. I'm gonna blast through some walls here.
Blasting some walls here.
They're up top they have about they have about 15 more minutes until we go live or
I didn't know!
OK.
Nice shot, bro.
At least this happened in the practice.
Now that you guys have seen the hostage, we could change it.
We could just do all bombs.
Do you think that'll be too hard for new players?
Do you think that everyone's going to kill the hostage?
Well, the hostage is easier, because it's just one site
that we're defending.
I kind of agree.
Yeah, it's fine.
OK.
I just expect a lot of that to happen.
From the hostage perspective, as noobs, I'm telling you,
it's fine.
OK.
I'm moving back up so we can smoke these guys.
Okay, I don't know if you guys have I've seen a lot of bank and you've seen a lot of borders
You guys want to look at another map after this round sure sure. Oh defend defend defend. We're playing the game
yo
No, we don't drown they drown
I'm watching a stream by the way in case you're wondering what's kind of delayed is I'm watching a stream
right? Yeah, there is secure there is secure area but we just don't know all the staircases but
yeah I'm gonna put some traps by the staircase for sure. I mean they like hostage I guess we keep
it there they think it's easier. I put my trap in three sections of entrance.
They think they think it's easier so
I did some I put some mines down and shit for for those mines chance you could
put them at the top of doorways instead of sure for me we added two minutes I'm
I'm so over-interpreting, sorry.
20 minutes, okay.
I'm assuming we're giving them extra time
is what's happening here.
Josh, should we be in like the line of sight
of our teammates so we can back up right away
or is it better to hold off like three sections divided?
I think it's better to divide yourselves.
Like, I think it's gonna be really hard
for you guys to trade off of each other
in a perfect world that would be great
if you play like a crossfire.
But like, I think what's easier is just hide
in a nice little corner and hold your angle for now.
Okay.
But someone, it's very important that somebody roams
instead of everybody sitting on the site,
instead of everybody sitting on the site
being somewhere out of the site and playing like a-
I see him, I see him, I see him, I see him.
They're over there.
They got a shield, I think it's on me.
Oh, he hit me once, he hit me once.
I'll try to go
He was at the end of the hallway, so yeah like you're it's so hard to teach
He moved it's so hard to teach people who have never played this oh because I could give them a million spells do I have?
Oh, you just have a deployable
Shields as your gadget and then I'll just puts those competitive minds typically you could play a roam
over here
i'm hit
i mean these are gonna good practice they're playing against each other
did he call him spell?
i don't know how to speak that
come around, come around
he's focusing on me so you guys are good
i think he went right side
oh that's so funny
i'm gonna let them play this round
and then i'm gonna
oh he's shielded up both of us
he put it away
Oh my god, Ompi's gonna do so well.
Wait, how do you get through this crazy?
Melee, you melee.
When you walk up to him, melee his shield, it'll knock him back, and his shield will
get like knocked back, and then you shoot him.
Oh.
You shoot through the shield.
No, he has to put the shield slightly down to shoot, I think.
That means that the aimer is fucking hand.
That's like a pixel.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
I'm gonna set you guys back up another custom. I feel like we might want I'm gonna move them real quick actually can't
Can you guys move down to the channel?
Okay, I'm gonna be honest I'm gonna be honest it might be it might be unfair if ompie plays Blitz
What I know I know dude dude. I have a feeling
Nerfing a few people before he can start.
I know.
I know, but I just have a strong feeling it might,
you're going to rock them.
I think you're going to do so.
You're going to create so much pressure.
Nobody really knows how to deal with it.
Listen, man, you want to ban Blitz?
Fine.
All right, then ban traps, because I don't know how.
I got trapped.
I almost died from traps.
I'm just asking you.
I'm not making a decision here.
I'm just talking openly out loud like dude in my head. Is this a good idea?
I think we don't know play around shields, but knowing now that I can melee and it can shoot the feet
Well, they're not gonna know shit. I don't think they got anything. They don't they don't have that character is a problem
They don't have that character at all. They don't have boots. No
Okay, tell me get it then you know someone you play put it with code by the characters ridiculous
They really want them
Hell, Justin.
I mean, if you guys want to play that way, too, you guys buy Solid Snake.
If you buy Solid Snake, he's the new character in this season.
He can literally, he has a mini-map.
He has a gadget that's a mini-map that will literally show where targets are.
If you guys really want to play that game, all I'm saying is you buy Solid Snake
and all of a sudden we're looking really good.
Yeah, no pass.
But what's his base character, man?
No, I don't think Blitz is base. You guys don't have him. Only Ampy does.
Ampy has him because I think he played.
Oh, okay. Look at him cheat.
Yeah, I did play in 2017.
Ampy played. Yeah, he played eight or nine years ago or something.
Oh yeah, I don't know Blitz either. He's technically locked out.
Yeah, he's locked out for me too.
All right, I'm gonna make that. There's no one who's expensive though.
Nah.
I could play a different dude I can play what's weird is everyone saying blitz is base, but you guys clearly don't have blitz unlocked
So yeah, except for on except for I'm sure I'm not sure not sure what's up with that, but
This is let him play whatever you know. Yeah, that's fine place on snake. That's stupid. They can play him though. Fuck it
Who cares? Okay? All right, I will say though. I'm be that was some bullshit. We had no idea
You could blind too, I got blinded and I died.
I didn't know either, I was like, that was the first game I broke it out.
Wait, you can stun and then yield and then gun down?
We have to leave this server. I'm in a custom, we have to quit this though.
Oh yeah, leave and join my custom.
Blitz is really really strong, he used to be stronger but now he actually has a certain amount of charges before you could just keep sending it.
But he's very very good. You are so good that you can clear half the map yourself.
you didn't want to help because like you have a shield right you just walk in you
walk into the room as long as the most important is the traps right make sure
you guys drone before you enter a door like make sure you always drone before
you enter a door if you lost your drone that sucks you're gonna have to risk it
and go in but droning and making sure you know what's on the other side or
what's on the door frame is very important can you invite me again I
I don't know how to get into your lobby.
Yeah, I'm making a bed out.
I have to go to the floor again.
Why is that keep happening?
It's like that.
It's trying to join you.
Do I have to rest for before the next game?
Yeah, you're good.
I think production whispered in my ear
that they want to give them a little bit more time,
if that's OK with you guys.
Yeah, they don't miss a chance.
I think they need it.
It seems like they need it, too.
They're, dude, you guys are saints, honestly.
They are discombobulated the second I joined pica and pay you pay. Oh, we're just arguing
They were arguing and one be wanting while Justin was trying to teach them how to play
They were in another side of the map one be wanting and arguing
They're playing they're playing their own game. I don't know what's this one. I mean bro. I see
They play that shit and tbc it's crazy
I tried her one game and said like a pistol in her
What's better to use your primary or secondary?
Which character was it?
It was like the sneaky one that you walk around on.
Oh, with the veil on their head?
Yeah, can you repeat that?
Oh, Cav. For Cav, your pistol is really, really good.
But you generally only want to use your primary in most cases.
Okay, but on that character?
But on that character, yes, your pistol is very, very strong.
I'd like to point out that Pika put hashtag ad in his title as if this is some type of paid advertisement for him
That's crazy. I know he's not paid to be here. I'm not no way he is
I'll technically listen technically you guys are no matter what all of you guys are getting $2,000
Yes, every single one every single one of you all ten of you guys are getting $2,000 if you win however you get $3,000
I'm only sponsored by Ubisoft by getting the players here, getting production here, and
setting up the prize pool in the structure.
So it's just me that's sponsored, not you guys.
You guys are just players.
Damn.
Oh, you only got to say it like that.
Yeah, I was kind of like, no, what the heck's up?
I'm inviting.
Is there a group?
They were inviting.
Yeah.
I'm inviting right now.
Yeah, I'm inviting right now.
He put hashtag added, that's hilarious.
I'm only...
Is there ever a tactic where we set up all the defense and put a bunch of traps inside the hostage
and then we just leave in a hole?
We're in a corner and when they're trying to break in, we just jump in.
Yeah, you could come up with what the beauty of this game is that it's over a decade old and there's still strategies coming out
Because it just has this that is that much what?
On P. What was it like dealing with my traps? I didn't even see them. I just got hit
It didn't you take damage. I took like 40 damage every time
I don't know if you were the the spiky blade guy. Is that you I think I was putting
Sean, you tell me.
Yeah, your lesion.
Your lesion putting the traps down.
The little spiky traps.
How that works?
I just hold forward and I would just lose HP.
I don't know.
Yeah, so how lesion traps work, in case you get hit by them,
is you get hit by them and they're a dot.
You get poisoned.
You have to back out and you have to hold F,
and then you pull the needle out of your leg.
Then stop the dot from burning.
I didn't get hit by that.
Oh.
So what'd you get hit by?
That's a 40 damage.
Was it a capcan trap?
I don't know.
It was thorn.
I was putting that shit on the wall.
Oh, it was you.
Oh, that's what it was.
So should I prioritize putting traps down at the start of the game or reinforcing?
You could kind of do both, like the second you spawn just put a reinforce down like
one or two or something and then just start putting traps.
You definitely want to prioritize the traps.
Yeah let the anchors, whoever feels like they're going to play site more, let those
people do all the reinforcements because they don't leave site anyway.
Like let's say ompie is playing let's say he's playing rook. He's the guy that puts his shields down and then you can pick up armor
I don't know if you guys tried that yet. Yeah. No, yeah
So the ompie's character puts a little armor pack on the ground and you can pick it up
Everybody picks it up on the team. You have to walk up to it or whatever. How does how does my middleman?
It's like a little blue line going across the floor, right?
For lesion hit middle mouse, I think so maybe I'm done no no lesion no lesion puts the little spiky
Boys and needles
Savics and vey you both need to get in I'm trying to join you guys
And by did you again?
Okay, I see it now. Yeah
Are we are we like playing another match and we just waiting?
I'm just gonna show you guys the next map you guys so you so far you've seen the first map
Which is bank now you've seen border more
It's a BO5 if it goes the distance you gotta play five games. Oh my gosh, okay
We're we're doing since you guys said you liked hostage. We're doing bomb hostage and now this one's gonna be a bomb
This is chalet. This is my personal favorite map. I love this map. So let's just uh
We could do whatever because I'm gonna show you guys the map I guess we'll just do a 3v3 like this here begin
I just basically want you guys to run around to just understand
What the map even looks like for the first time, you know, okay?
Yeah, well that was sick after playing the same match like we played like five rounds on that like sandy map
And I was able to like
Getting from the top. That was crazy. Yeah, yeah
Yeah, we were freaking out knowledge diff
Yeah, we were freaking out on our end when you started doing that
Look, I blew up the top and then I blew up the top and Samus was right there
I know
huh try uh try thermite just to see what it's like oh how do i unready then uh wait for this hold on
i'm having a real relocated entity oh wait we're in uh yeah we're in crack mode so it's fine we'll
just do an extra round uh we'll just go on this we'll go don't kill each other let's let's all
let's all just go in the building i just want to show you guys what this map kind of looks like
Okay, so so I didn't explain at the beginning but this is probably like
where you want to go second and at the very first bomb point you want to go in
the basement let me just show you what the basement looks like come with me here
do you have to like play different sides or can you just play the same yeah so
So if you win one site, it closes, and now you have to go to another site.
So this is basement, this is probably arguably the easiest thing to hold.
You can just reinforce this garage door, reinforce a hatch up here, and then this is another
site right here as well.
It's really, really straightforward to hold.
There's not much to reinforce.
It's just like this wall, this wall, and hatch.
We should be basement dwellers on this map.
Yes.
On this one, you're pretty much basement dwellers for sure.
that's just one site. A common spot to hold is the library when you guys start
playing up here guys up here on me on me
come go out yeah yeah oh yeah cuz you guys can't see through the walls I'm
just looking at the math a little bit yeah I know it's fine you know what you
don't have to this is a hatch that leads to the basement right here
The break of your package.
Only with a breach?
You need a tool? Yeah, that would work.
Exactly what you're placing? That would work. Try it real quick.
And then you back up, and then you back up, and then you hit the button again, I believe.
Hit the button.
So that's to break a soft wall, but it's safe to assume that that would be a hard wall normally, right?
And that's where soda poppin would need to do a breach.
so they can like wait can you just normally reinforce that or do you have
to be a specific dude to reinforce the enemies you could reinforce normally
anyone can I've never tried yeah can I get through brick walls with my breach
the thing magic no it's just the ones that look reinforce okay keep running
around the map a little bit just to see if I shoot my my gun on two different
Reinforced walls at the same time and yeah, both at the same time. Yes. Yes. So let me show you can someone
Come to the basement. That's a defender
Basement that's a defender. Yeah, so anyone that's a defender. So vase are you or Savvax? Can you come to the basement?
Okay, you reinforce these just to show
Reinforce both of these and then I'm gonna show you something come with me
Okay, so now we're on the outside. This is the wall she just reinforced.
So if they were playing, if they were defending right now, so try to make
with your little gadget, try to make a
crouch hole. Try to like line it up. See if you can shoot two different pellets.
So shoot one row kind of low, and then shoot another row a little higher
and then blow it up. Okay, now try to blow it up.
Yeah, try it.
So now you could enter the site
You're the only character that could do that on your team right now. So you're a hard breacher, right?
That's what you're that's what that's kind of your goal when you see a wall that looks like this
You see a wall that has these little red
Oh, yes, yes, and then soft walls don't tell its reinforce
Don't waste don't waste your Havana like stuff like this
Or with enough bullets
And what Thermite does is exactly what your character did right here, only you don't have to do two charges.
You do like a big... you do the whole wall essentially.
When you put a Thermite on the wall, you do the whole thing.
But you can't do multiple at one time.
No, you do that one at a time.
There is a lot of tech to like stop it, but they're not gonna know how to do that, so that's okay.
Make sure when you're attackers, you melee this too, because it's hard to...
Who barbed wires?
What damage does that do?
Oh!
I believe it goes 5, 5, 5 a tick.
5 per tick, and it takes 1, 2, 3, 4.
It keeps ticking, it'll keep going.
It takes like that.
Yeah, if you're packing and you see a barbed wire, make sure you melee it.
I'm gonna try to help you guys when the match is actually live,
but I don't want to help you guys too much, because I don't want to clutter your, you know,
I don't want to clutter your comms, I want to let you guys just do your thing.
Yeah.
Um, let me show you upstairs.
There's come come up here all the way to the
Also fucks our vision and our aim on the barbed wire
Come up here. There's a bomb site up here. That's really really common to play. We didn't pick it, but
It's up here
Where there's gonna be a bomb site here, so you're typically gonna want to like reinforce the corner
There's a door that they can't be are you going down a slide right now? You look like you're sliding. Oh, you're a grab
Yeah, he's right here
This this map isn't as this map isn't like bank or border where you can actually come in from the ceiling
Yeah, you're more so going through these little side windows or balconies like this
Creating a rotate if you have a grenade or something or a shotgun right here could be good
So when would I ever use my secondary weapon is it depends on the class
yeah some some characters have better secondary primaries but more often than
not you're always using primary. Okay it's not okay got it. So what is my three
skill do? What is this? Put it on a softwall like this and then you hit the
button to get the blowdown. Yeah so why why have on as cool is that you can use
use that for soft walls and then use your actual ability for hardwall.
Where's the hardwall?
Uh, I still want to have to place one, that's one right there, yeah.
Want me to blow it up?
I'm fidgeting, both of them.
Yeah, you don't have much with Havana.
I just want to see if it does damage.
Get the crawl through that shit now.
You can, you can crawl through.
Oh I don't think he put it low enough.
Oh, low enough?
Yeah, oh he got it, he fit in, he fit in.
He wiggled his way through.
Oh, I'm next.
Here we go.
Get in here.
I'm trying.
Get a wiggle.
There you go, there you go.
is anyone cap can oh let me show you this is important as are you yeah do you
have you have your ability do you have your ability left are you I'm too big
it's either by the middle mouse thing yeah do you have it yeah yeah okay I
watch I want everybody to see this is important because this is what you're
gonna die to okay okay sorry you come back come back to the whole or go
around or go around you can go around the door okay so look at look it's are
you placed your trap on this door right now just so people know what it looks
like okay this is what's gonna kill everybody if you walk through that as
an attacker you will blow up so typically typically what you could do is
like I'm an attacker right now so when I when I drone or if I look at corners
I could see it like this.
But
You want to place it a little lower because I could crouch under that you know the place at at their feet
Yeah, and you could you could also put two on one door to do a fuck ton of damage
Yeah, you guys are gonna die to that a lot if you don't check your door frames
and then you saw the problem and just killed the hostage and see you guys can see it
Oh, I'm uh, my character is Finka and what Finka does is I use my ability and you guys all get bonus health
and I can revive you from far away, you know how you get downed on a non-state and you can pick somebody up
and you get picked up on this ability
I don't think you guys have Finka
Next question, Zaryu, how many of those do you have?
Five
Five, yeah
I'm bombons. Yeah, those are that's why droning is really important. You always want to drone a room before you go in
That's my drone is in Africa. Do I have to keep it with me? So you have another drone that you throw if you hit six look at this
So you start start with a drone
It's kind of cool.
It is.
You start with a drone, and then you have a drone in your carry.
You could, if you want to get really technical, you could instead of droning the building,
you could drive your drone to your spawn, pick it up, and now you have two drones.
That's some other ways of using the drone, if you'd like.
Interesting.
I don't know, it's kind of hard to, like, there's more things I could show you,
show you but you guys are gonna get a little confused I guess like this I
want to I want you guys to know that this area is called library and this area is
really really important when you're upstairs but you're not gonna I'm gonna
be honest you're not gonna find it when you're playing normally so I I don't
even care I just wanted you guys to run around this map to see what looks
like one last question when people die are there drones basically the cameras
where they left them yes they can't they can't control them but they can
They could look at them so when it's when whatever you
When you guys die your drone is a camera of information. Yeah, so try and leave it try to leave it somewhere
I
Could show we don't have a lot of time
So I'm just gonna really quickly load up the next map you guys saw what you could we're running running a long time here
And we're gonna start
Sensitivity shrug yeah, you guys go to the bathroom. It's my dear thing my sense of these four
I'm saying like in-game can y'all come to meet the energy if you yeah, yeah
Yeah
That's a really good. This is actually no no this is actually a really good spot on defense
This is a really good defense spot if you go there and you lay down and you just hide
And you just hide here all day. It's really really good
Yes, this is a really good spot
I've never seen a strategy where all five players hide in it, but hey it could be new meta I don't know
One good thing to end it all
I think they won't even be able to find us if we hide there
I don't think they would know with their drone
Oh dude if we just hid, they probably would just shoot the hostage
Like we did
You're right
It's got, you're right
Yeah
With the beauty of this game is there's different tech and different metas at every rank difference
So stuff like that that you just came up with we're hiding a bunch of you guys hiding in the tub
That might not work at high rank because obviously they drone everything
I don't have a rank it's GG
But in low rank that is actually a great play just pick a little hiding spot and just and that's it just win
Let's let's I'm gonna go jump on another map just so we guys can see it
Make a new lobby real quick
Oh
So good
The menu
Yeah, you go back to menu. I'm loading up the next session. Okay return to menu
I'm stuck on a roll squad. This is gonna be this is gonna be such a
guess
shit show
Oh, this is gonna be fun. No, it's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna be awesome.
Once it's actually live and it's serious and game-on.
How do I make sure I'm not in the custom game? Because it bugged my game out last time.
If you hit escape or you joined my game it should just boot you. It should
abandoned. I don't think it'll bug out. Actually, never know.
I think it was bugging out last time I tried as well.
I just want to show you what this map looks like, Oregon.
Oregon.
It was like a farm.
Yeah, it's like a, yeah, essentially a farm, bunch of houses.
And the, there, every single siege map is very vertical. Like I
didn't show you guys, but if you play like a defender that
has like a shotgun, you could blow holes in the floor,
like literally the normal floor,
and you could look through the entirety of the floor.
Oh wow.
Yeah, I just didn't wanna overwhelm you guys
with that verticality,
cause I don't expect them to do that,
but if they do that, that's insane tech.
Can you let me go?
Yeah.
Can you invite it again?
So what's your main trap?
It was Blitz until they nerfed him, so now it's not Blitz.
Of course, you're a mesh slayer.
Yes, yes. I'm a heat-sweater.
I wish you guys had Monty, so you guys could see that.
Monty is essentially Blitz, but his shield is even bigger.
Like literally, you don't have to crouch, it's the hole.
I'll buy him right now.
If you want to literally tank,
Montane is just a giant wall like no one's getting passed him the only thing you'll die to his traps because you can't see that
Well, oh, so that we played triple tank and then we move as a unit. I'm telling like tell you
I'll turn around and then so I'll shield from the other side. Oh
I did not show them fuses
How do I buy characters?
When you go to attackers or defense yeah, if you go to attacker and you hover or montane
He's the shield guy at the top. It should say buy with renown or buy with our six credits, whichever you have more of
Unlock with currency
Confirm unlock. I got him. Okay. Nice
Um, do you guys have to reach anymore?
Oh, someone else is gonna need someone else is gonna need to take your role then
I got a breach charge
No, hard breach though at thermite would be really huge all i'm saying
I don't expect them to I don't expect them to wall off everything they won't even wall off everything. That's fine
I just saw what were you playing?
The whole I was playing Habanero. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pigeon spinner. You should play you should play thermite instead. He's a much easier version than Habana Habana
Yeah, thermite is just like putting a breach charge on a wall. That's it and so nothing my one thing
Savics and I noticed when you break through those walls
They're confused
That you will look through you almost always will see someone if you're breaking through a wall
That's like you know protecting the hostage. There will always be someone you can now see
He has a heart rate
Like prone on the hostage and you just re-killed me. Well. Yeah, I guess yeah
No, I don't know if I really can't see when you remove one of those walls that they really they write it off
This is completely protected from the back, but they're not because of you it did not go good at all
So I would I would highly recommend doing that. I'm gonna start this you guys can see what it looks like
Cool, by the way, my main is my main is ace is what I usually plan attack ace is a
He's a really really good gun got an AK that I love using the recoils kind of like light and then he's also a hard-reacher
So similar to Havana and there might
I could pick them.
This big junkyard.
Junkyard hard.
Alright, I'm playing Montagne.
Anything I should do with here?
I can get a hard breach charge.
Yeah, hard breach charge is not like you can't really go through it, but you can blow a hole.
Like a look through it.
That's pretty big.
It's pretty good though, just to spot through.
Yo, what was that?
Like an attacker who's like a little quicker, because on a Blackbeard I feel like super, like slow.
like slow yeah he is slow yeah he is slow out of the characters you have maybe
jackal or are we just walking around how do I look or I just even faster I don't
want to play ash ash was kind of confusing yeah okay so when you hit your
button you extend your shields oh hit your hit your gadget under your
ability there you go so now your shield you're literally a wall like it covers
yeah it covers every little bit of your body it's not there's no no you you are
literally a tank and you're just providing information that's all so what's
really common when you're this character is you're gonna like walk through a
door and you're just gonna do the pinging stuff you're gonna be like oh
this person here yeah he's a wall what are you gonna do the wall is coming
Yeah, he's literally a wall.
Yeah, try to melee him.
That's about as best as you got.
So, yeah, this character I think is really annoying to play against, because the only way you can bring him down is by traps, or like getting him to...
Yeah, getting him to turn around.
That's a shield eventually, right?
No, no, you could break like that, uh...
Like this invisibility, you know?
Typically what you do...
Typically what you do against the shield is you, uh, C4 it.
Yes, so defenders have C4.
Not all of them do.
I haven't even shown you guys what a C4 looks like, to be honest.
Maybe I'm true.
Keep a
Yeah
He's a pain in the ass you want to work him as a team
Dude, you gotta play that dude. There's no way they can deal with it.
Dude, I can't play along with it.
Can you just shield bash everyone in one shot?
Uh, you can't do anything when your shield is extended like that.
Oh, try it with the execute.
So that character that you're playing today is really cool.
When you down somebody, you interrogate them,
and when you successfully pull it off, it reveals the whole team.
I'm the last person, so it's not gonna happen, but...
It reveals the whole team, yeah, you'll see them on whole-hacks.
No, for like a certain amount of seconds.
If you're playing Kibari, if we get them out, like where it's not in the middle of a teamfight, yeah.
Essentially, you just win the whole game.
Let's have you guys run, I don't know, production doesn't say anything in my ears yet,
but just run around this map for a little bit just so you guys can see what it looks like.
I don't think we have a lot of time
Let me show you guys a C4
So some characters have nitro cells, which is a C4. That's the best way to deal with a shield character
It's just kind of hard to throw
See for like blow with the shield or does it just kill them you it'll instantly kill anybody if it lands
It's just kind of hard to throw because it's like you're throwing a brick like it's really it's got a lot of weight to it
So you have to aim kind of high
I just want to show you guys what it looks like. Everyone go to the front, well you don't know what the front door is
I'll just go outside, and then you guys come to me
Oh, we're about to start okay
So I if you guys have yeah come back outside you guys play Mira
I
Don't know if you have Mira unlock, but she has a C4
But for example, it looks like this. You throw it
So that's how that's how you would deal with a shield right so if you had a Monty coming in a room
You throw C4 Adam you blow it. I
Just don't I don't know if you guys have near unlocked. I don't know if she's part of the basic kit
I'm not sure but I need to go to production. I think you guys are about to start. Yeah, you guys can run around a sec
Okay, someone walk through this
Yeah
Okay, how's that feeling?
damage in every meter.
That's pretty weed bro, pretty weed bro.
By the way, production said if you guys do want to buy characters, we can Venmo back the money.
If you guys actually want to buy a character.
Yes, production will cover it.
They said they would love for you guys to try new characters if you want.
So, if you want to buy, we can Venmo back.
That's all.
I'm down to play Mira over this person because it leaves you and doesn't seem good.
Yeah, you'd play Mira and Mira's great.
I'm going to move up. You guys can keep walking around.
I'm going to send some friend requests to the team.
So if you see one from, I enjoy green tea, feel free to have me.
Green tea?
Green tea, yeah.
What channel do you want me in production?
Hello there.
I'm back.
We're just waiting on Justin to get in here.
Mike, you had a very successful coaching session.
How did it feel to lead the young ducklings, hopefully into adulthood?
I think it went pretty freaking well.
One thing that I noticed that was really nice about my team,
and welcome back, Justin, welcome back.
One thing I noticed about my team is they listen.
They listen really well.
When I say don't shoot each other, they stop.
When I say listen to my voice,
they listen to my voice.
When I say follow me, they follow me.
So I'm really, really confident.
I think that went extremely well.
Justin, you didn't get to hear the question,
but we didn't really get to see your training regimen
way that we did get to see shrouds. Apparently you got stuck in the tutorial for a little
bit. Did you manage to get out of the trenches?
All right, I'm unmuted. Let me re, I'll say that again. Yes, he was stuck in the,
he was stuck in the tutorial for like 25 minutes. He died like three, maybe four
times or something like that. But overall, they got out of it.
Jesse, what questions do you have for our wonderful coaches here as they as they
try to teach 10 people how to play this game?
Well, it was it was interesting watching Shroud because I really felt like the
meta developed as we went through the through the practice, you know, you
started teaching them, but like basic attacks and defense. By the end, we
were going over shields and C fours. I'm curious, just to make it to see
as much. Justin, did you get that same level of depth that you get to talk about shields
and then night your cells at all?
Very briefly, but I wasn't a lot of the same amount of time. We had some difficulties,
but we finally got in there. And yeah, we got to actually cover all bases. And I was
1v5 him a little bit.
Okay.
Yeah, I did the same thing. They wanted to 1v5 me. Did you successfully 1v5 them?
Yes.
I love that.
Of course.
Good. Of course. Okay.
Justin, did you get accused of cheating the way that Shroud did?
I think that was a 1v1.
Somebody said this guy's cheating.
And you know, Shroud, I don't think you're about to do that on stream here on the front
page of Twitch.
But Justin, did you have the same prowess?
I did not.
My team was not sure exactly what was going on because we got a little bit less time,
but they actually shot back.
I'm not kidding.
They weren't completely lost.
They're shooters.
Yeah.
I have full confidence.
Wow.
No, my team might be listening. You know what? Maybe they're not listening. If they aren't, please don't tell them. Never mind. You know what?
We're going to do great.
Just say it. Just say it. We won't tell anybody. There's no stench. There's no stenches here.
Okay. I will say when I went to the other channel, Justin's channel and his team's channel, they had a really, really big confidence.
They were ready to game even though that they had zero practice.
They seemed like they knew what they were doing, like they were locked in, right?
My team, they were great listeners and I think I really helped them teach the general basics,
but they didn't hit me a single time against me and that 1v5.
They didn't hit me once.
They hit me?
Yeah, see exactly.
They hit Justin, but I didn't get hit once.
But that is where it's going to be interesting.
I feel like my team listened really well.
I feel like they got the brain power.
They got the strategy.
I said, do they have the aim though?
Cause it is, you got to, you got to balance both.
You got to have good aim and you got to have good, good, uh, good brain power too.
So well, I'm a little worried about that cause we didn't do a lot of aim training.
Justin, do you feel like there's one player on your team that maybe has
the best chance, the best aim, the best mechanics to take down and shroud squad?
Um, honestly, yeah, I, payo has quite a bit of confidence.
Uh, he didn't really participate too much in listening to me, but he has so much confidence and orange ripping off him that I think
He said he has a six digit. So I don't know what that means, but I think that means we're in for a good time
And this is the guy who killed himself in the tutorial or
Yes, uh, I think three times maybe four. Okay. Good. Just checking the bars in hell
Yeah, I suppose the
Uh, did you teach them? Did you teach them a difference between bomb and hostage? I saw you did a little bit of hostage
I heard rumors that the hostage was killed twice
Great. Yeah. Yeah. Good. So also also here to the hostage was killed and and and they were the team was playing to be threes against each other
They were really really excited to use a lot of the trap characters
And they didn't even get to see any of the traps happen because they shot the hostage in the head
Of course for people who need reminders this what the teams look like on your screen right now
Now Shroud and Justin obviously will not be competing.
They will be coaching.
When we get into the actual best of five,
it'll be a mix of bomb, hostage, bomb, hostage, bomb.
It'll be ranked rules for those that weren't here
when we went through the initial spiel.
So we get to see traditional Rainbow Six
in maps one, three, and five,
and then some excitement with hostage in two and four.
Quick note, did either of you teach them
how to fuse the hostage,
or do you think that will make its debut
in the official best of five?
I did not.
So we'll see what happens.
They might accidentally shoot the hostage every time they see it because they'll think it's
a person.
Yeah.
I, they'll be fine.
What's at stake is $15,000 for the winners, $10,000 for the losers, and then of course
the bragging rights that come with winning this siege showdown.
I don't know how much time we have before we actually get into the goods here, but
I will ask both of you.
You can give me your answer on stream and then you can give me your private answer.
What do you think your team's expectations are?
Do you think that either of your teams
are gonna be able to win a 3-0
or do you think it's gonna go all five maps?
Oof, I, I think it's gonna go four maps.
I think it's gonna be, I think it's gonna go four.
I don't know, I don't think it's gonna go all five.
I think someone's gonna get on a heater,
but it's gonna be in the middle somewhere, you know?
I kind of agree.
I don't think it'll go all five,
but I definitely can see four.
Yeah, someone's, it's gonna be like,
It's going to be a chaotic map one and then all of a sudden, whoever wins map two is just
going to run with it and then win the next three and four.
That's what I'm calling.
That's my prediction.
I don't know who it's going to be.
I think it could go either way, but that's what I think.
I will say though, I am a little bit worried with how much more practice my God, that's
the only downside is like, I wanted them to feel a little bit longer, but we had
some technical difficulties.
I'm hoping that doesn't matter.
Was there anything like you tried to focus on or maybe tried to rush through to make
up for that slight disadvantage where you didn't have as much time?
Was there anything that like you thought maybe you could get in that Shroud perhaps didn't
cover?
I spoke really fast.
Good.
That was it.
That should work.
That'll go well.
How much, you can speak quickly but how quickly can they listen is I suppose the question
to be asked here?
That's actually a great question because if they don't download all the information that
I'm speaking, it really goes in one ear and out the other, so, yeah.
Like you can speed read a book in seconds, but that doesn't mean you're actually ingesting
any of the information.
And I will say, Mike was quite the drill instructor.
He was formidable, Justin.
Your team's got it's work could have for them.
Yeah, I was really firm.
I think I was really well spoken.
I talked pretty slow, not too fast.
But see just such a complicated game
that there's no way you could cover
the entirety of the game in the hour and a half that we had.
I think you need thousands of hours
to really cover the whole basis of this game.
So I'm very curious to see
if what me and Justin taught our teams actually translates.
I'm gonna be really excited if I see something
that we told them, and then they remember and it clicks.
That's what I'm really, really hoping for.
So anything specific that you specifically mentioned to them
that you really want them to not forget,
so this can go to both of you?
Oh, okay, I can easily go first.
I really want to see them drone.
That's it.
I want to see them drone before they get in the building.
That's all I want.
I was thinking the same thing.
I tried to mention three or four times drone,
drone before you go in, drone before you go in,
drone before you go in, but you know how it is.
You're playing Siege for the first time,
You always, droning is, you know, it's a little different.
You don't have drones in any other shooter really.
So people often forget,
but I tried to drill it into their brains too.
I have a feeling they're gonna forget, but that's okay.
That's just siege, part of learning.
I mean, it literally spawns you in as a drone.
So if they opt to immediately get out of that,
then I fear for what comes next.
But you did, to your credit, Mike,
you did drill into their heads.
When you die, you go on cams.
And the first moment I heard that,
I was like, there's, there's one of the keys to success.
There's a lot of locks you got to open in rainbow six.
That's one of them.
So I was very glad to hear that when you die, get on cams.
And if you're watching, there's dozens of people watching this broadcast right now.
Get on cams if you die.
Very important.
I drilled into their heads as well, but we'll see if they actually
downloaded it.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, Justin, we were watching Mike's stream, not yours.
So we will see them and get to hear your point of view.
Sorry, Jesse.
No, I was just going to say, I feel like the meta for both of you
really developed on a trap focused strategy for defense.
I don't think that's a secret between anybody here.
Did you guys talk at all about how
to maybe counter some of those traps
and how to get past them without dying to a cap can
or a thorn?
I told them when they're droning.
And this is a question that Payoh had, actually.
He asked, if I don't have a drone, which is a good question,
if I don't have a drone, should I be looking left and right
of the doorway for like traps or like cap can traps
or whatever, right?
And I said, absolutely.
Always clear your angles before walking into a doorway
because if you walk into two cap can traps,
you're more than likely down.
Smart.
It looks like we're just getting one more person.
Sorry, Mike, go ahead.
No, I was just saying, I tried to show them
what the traps look like,
but it's gonna be hard.
They're gonna forget. They're gonna blow up the cap again traps. They're gonna get it by legions
They're gonna die frost mats. I died to a frost mat in my second 1v5 against them
I forgot that that was a thing I read they put it in a good spot, too
They put it at the very top of the stairs where you can't really see it when you're going up
Like I mean they're good at placing the traps, but that's the easy part, right?
Finding the logic. That was a hard one. Just a quick question for you
Did you drone by any chance to see the frost mat or no?
Well, do as I say, not as I do, and stretching your teammates to drone and then not droning
yourself and dying to a frostbite and going, how did, how is this here?
As if there was a way to solve it with the drone, but that's okay.
It's hard to do.
I just figured I could, you know, just run in, attack, ego, 1v5, it didn't work out
for me.
That lack of ego will help out some of the players here though.
If they are newer, they'll be more likely to drone things out and won't have that
ego.
Yeah.
at a time they'll be drowning too much it's a problem you know but it is what it is I see
they're trying to do some invites right now into the game I me and Justin have a gunner
invite though yeah I think they might be waiting till payo is in another payo issue another
payo issue he's got to be playing well yeah he's just playing he's doing dailies or
something should I should I go tell him I'm sure production right now is okay well
actually production isn't in his ear, but I could go give him
a nice little yell if you want. He's in now. He's in now. Now
we just gotta get on. We could start the first match. Other
just view invite. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
Perfect. We we did a little call to action. Both of you have
rainbow six charms in the game. That's that is true. I don't
know how much you've been telling your audience about this
but for people who have Ubisoft Connect and they've
linked it to their Twitch account. If they subscribe to you
they get your charms in their inventory in like almost
Immediately so whether you're watching shroud and you do it on his channel with you're watching Justin
You do it on his channel a single twitch subscription is all it takes for you to get either shroud or Justin's charm in your inventory
You can equip it to whatever guns you'd like and it stays your inventory forever
Wow, I love in tarot also
One fact about my charm is it's my old logo. No, it's it's old tech at this point, you know ancient really
I was a day one sub. I was a day one sub there. And Justin, you and I actually got our charms
on the exact same day. So yes, we got it. We got it released. Oh, I am being told by production
to move down. Yep. Let's get it. Let's get started. Let's get started. Good luck, gentlemen.
Thanks for the talking to you. Thank you very much, Jesse. You have a good one. Thank
you guys. Take care, Jesse. I am not confident in this line of staff to that. I actually
less confident after they spoke, than after watching them play. I think this is going
to be a beautiful mess.
Yeah, listen, you and I, we cast high level professional Rainbow Six Siege most days.
This is going to be something a little bit different. It's going to be new players, but
I think we're going to have a lot of fun with it. I really think it's going to
all come bold and creativity, because when you don't know the meta, when you don't
know the best setups and operators, sometimes, I don't know why. Even more creative,
your brain a little bit. It's something Shroud said right at the very start of the stream.
Siege is more about your brain than it is about your aims. So we load into the very first round
here on bank. Whoever can help bring the opponent, they're going to be my pick to win.
Absolutely. If you're in Shroud's chat right now, which is how you're predominantly hearing
us. I don't think you're hearing us on any of the other streams. There's a prediction live
right now. So put your channel points on the line right now. Millions at stake as to which
which team will come out ahead on bank?
For those that are unfamiliar with Rainbow Six Siege,
there will be three rounds in the first half
at which Shroud's team will play on attack
and Justin's team will play as defenders
and then they will swap sides.
Now, those are six rounds,
so once you hit four rounds,
the game is over unless you go to overtime.
It is possible one of these teams
will sweep the first three rounds,
setting themselves up to match point
when the sideswap comes in.
Now, I know that for some of you,
you think that we yapp too much
And there are times chat where if I may extend it all a branch to you, I agree.
So good news.
You're not actually going to be hearing us that much through this event.
You're going to be hearing the team columns.
So listenings are ready.
Why don't we start with Justin's team off the rip?
They're going to be defending.
They, they are the ones that just need to sit back and wait.
And I want to hear what they've learned.
So let's listen into Justin squad and see how they handle this first round.
It's right here next to me
Wait, how do you take armor? What's that?
On on
Well, I can't I can't get any right
You auto get it. Wait, did they find us already? Can we tell if they detected us?
So much, so much, so much, so much. Yeah, it'll stay in the middle of your screen.
I get it. Yes, you have it.
Wait, do they know there's a timer room? Oh, they found it.
There's a bomb. So they're in A, they're probably-
Oh my god! They're back up! There's somebody down there!
Is there a drone? We're all on the bomb floor.
So how, so how...
This hallway
Remember to use your z-pings. I don't know
This is where they found the bomb though is from
No
No
clear angles together. Let's go. Yeah, let's push it. Let's push it. Should we put? No!
What's that guy? Where's that guy? Where's that guy? Where's that guy?
Hey, we're behind us, right? I don't fucking know where you see me. We're upstairs.
I'm upstairs. Play slow, play slow, play slow, play slow. You can sit up on the stairs.
They have to come to you. Remember that. Okay, okay, okay.
You have traps set up. You're all good. Just calm through each other. You'll
be fine.
Alright, we're done sir.
Also if you guys hit five you can flip cameras.
Alright that was up.
Alright we're done sir.
There's cameras like if you hit QE, Pika when you're in that you can flip through
cameras on the map and see other stuff.
Wait we can do that while we're not dead?
Yes.
Oh.
And when I'm dead I have a Cameroot can I change Cameroot?
Yes.
What?
Oh.
I don't, I think it's five.
I believe. Wow, there's a lot of cameras. Yeah, there is a lot of cameras when I see someone okay. He just
Is down they all are walking into the line with shields. I think in pieces I think by the way
I think if you step behind this of you there's no way. I think I think you're sipping
I'm just saying it was weird right at one time
All right, well, I mean if the goal that shroud set up Jesse was
Drone, I feel like they failed quite spectacularly at their mission
They did their best shroud impersonation and of course failed to drone cap can traps and a frost map and then died
Yeah, it was immediate as soon as we saw the the Monty go in and go down
It was a calamity after that and I think that kind of highlights some of the weaknesses of the shield strategy
that Shroud has brought in for this team.
This second soda poppin walks into a frost mat.
The shield goes down.
You can no longer protect your teammates,
and it's a massive 3K coming out from Pika.
So a really nice little play where they use their utility
to get it down and follow it up with good gunplay.
Then the confidence comes out,
which we heard from the coach as well, Coach Justin.
I think we're starting to see the pieces come together
despite the lack of prep for Justin.
Yeah, I mean, sometimes fraggers just frag, man.
You know you can't teach that you can't teach good gun skills
And I mean peeking get in the 3k to start things off maybe enabled somewhat by traps
Which as you can see bottom right of your screen first taking with the trap ops yet again
I think it's a brilliant way to go about it
And you know right at the tail end for those that weren't watching shroud stream here
And we're tuned into one of the other creators
He mentioned how powerful shields are and you could hear the collective ooze and oz of the shroud players when they discovered that
Montaigne isn't hervious to damage so let's do a listening on shroud stream as
they seem to be very quick to get into the building up the stairs we have
double shield shield up shield up so let me go first up my shield up maybe you
go a different one person throw their drone to let let the drone lead
somebody somebody let the drone lead instead of the person or not let's just
get in there no we're gonna go we check it out we check I like this
Confidant
Yo, check Pete Pete blow for me. I'm gonna break the floor
Let's go. I'm breaking. I'm breaking
Yeah, it's a mute
Here there's a trap in there you see it
Yeah, I'm gonna shoot it and shoot it. I'm not moving. I'm not moving
Got it. I don't know why I can't shoot it
Oh
I'm pushing in
This is normal. I don't want you guys to get discouraged, okay? It's easier to defend when people don't know what they're doing. It's all right.
You're gonna do the same thing to them when it's on defense, okay? Don't worry.
I hope so. I promise you, you guys.
Father Duck himself saying it best, and we also talked about this about a couple hours ago.
It is much easier to defend than it is to attack.
This is true across all levels of this game.
We say it on our professional broadcasts.
Our biggest event of the year was last month in Paris,
and we said it tons of times on that show.
So no surprise that Shroud's team is running
into a literal brick wall,
just as everybody who plays Rainbow Six does.
And again, we're seeing more of the shield counters
come through.
It might seem like he's impossible to counter,
but that time,
even though the shield didn't hit any traps,
they just flanked behind the attackers.
Justin Squad got a really good couple of angles
to hit them from the back and then when SotaPOP is in the 1v5, not a lot he's able to do on
the Monty. He needs his teammates to be up with him. Parker, we're only two rounds in,
but I've been very impressed with the counters to the shield so far.
Yeah, I mean the strategy here is just slow them down as much as possible. If you're
playing this game as a casual player or even all the way up to pro play, operators
like Capkin, like Legion, like Frost, other operators that aren't getting played like
Ella, for example, and like Denari can be a huge hindrance for these shield ops. Shields are quite
strong, so if you're thinking about picking up Rainbow Six Siege, it's not a bad idea to start
off playing an operator like Monty or Blitz on attack. You will likely have more success,
but there are still counters present. The question that needs to be asked, Jesse, is when
you've got 10 people who are effectively brand new, are they going to be able to make those
adaptations when they encounter those traps? And so far, through two rounds, the answer on
Shroud side of things, that's sadly been dope.
Yeah, well we do have a second attempt at them going back to the open area bomb site
for Shroud Squad. They once again have the Blitz and Veil's running, or Veil's running
this go-to-be boss G. So let's listen to Shroud's team and see how this push goes.
Hold your angles right now and just let the other team work.
Oh, you see that trap right there? Can you shoot that?
See it on the floor? Right there?
Yeah, we're in the roof from the roof, bro.
Ampy and I are on the roof coming in from the top.
Okay.
Okay.
I see him, I see him, I see him.
On A, they're literally peeking the doorway.
Oh, oh, oh, I just fell in.
Oh.
Sorry, you're good.
You come down here, sorry.
Unless you're coming from the top.
Sorry, no, come with me, come with me, come with me.
Nice.
I'm just going to see Ampy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's on you, it's on you.
It's on you, it's on you.
There's a trap, there's a trap here.
Trap right here.
See this?
Got it.
Okay.
Another trap here, another trap here, another trap here.
Okay, they're on your left.
I
Okay, I'm pulling my gun out. Oh jeez. I told you there's a trap right there. Well, it wasn't a trap. It's grease and just
That wasn't grace and that was a trap that blew you up. I
Gotta stand I'm in the room with you guys. Oh, I could have suffered by I
Kept pinging with middle mouse button and it fucking put my shield away
I didn't realize that dude so much damage
one shot headshot no matter the gun
oh the head he fell over I didn't know
that okay oh my god all right I will
say yeah yeah I'm gonna shoot it
myself I'm so dumb okay this is we're
taking a little time out here all right
Okay
This is that we're playing a kind of accelerated game. They're not gonna last as long
I think it's already match point
So we're not doing the typical like playing the longest game. So we're on defense right now if they would want more
I'm pretty sure they win cuz it's first of four instead of the normal
But we're on defense. So what you guys are gonna do is you're gonna pick the bombsite lockers
And you're just gonna pick the same characters that I told you and do what they did those guys never left the bombsite
They just stayed up in the bomb site every single time. They never roamed
Okay, you could kind of you could do the same thing or you could throw a curve ball and one of you can roam if someone feels confident doing their
Own thing outside of sight you should do it. Yeah traps. Yeah, specifically a track character. So just where are we going?
Oh, lockers lockers. Okay
Let's do this
What is a nitro cell that's the C4 that I blew up the shield with you could try it I'll try I'll try
You have to throw it really, really high, but you have to hit the ground, you have a little
line.
Guys, I just now figured out the tank.
I got him now.
But now we're attacking or defending its core.
That's okay.
Next game.
I mean, we are.
Exactly.
The next game I'll be 100 times better.
Attackers need to locate and defuse bombs.
I was a bit wary of how they would be able to adapt.
It sounds like Shroud is in part of them with some knowledge here.
Problem is that they've now swapped sides.
So a little bit tricky, Jesse, for them to handle an attack when now they are
defending but the good news is they have the stronger side and I do want to
touch on one small thing here if you are encountering a team that is turtled up
inside of the bomb site which in Siege lingo is referred to as anchoring or a
turtle setup in particular you have drones and there are operators that you
can use really effectively to flush them out of positions the operator that
was referred to as cappuccino who's actually capital he is a terrific
operator with his flame arrows at dislodging somebody from their spot
You've also got drones that can provide intel and of course a lot of these walls and floors can be shot through
So if you use your drones you can gain intel and then shoot through a wall and kill somebody on the other side of it
These are just things for remember, and I hope Shradd steam remembers when they go on to attack in the next map
Slightly different attacking line up though Parker. There's no cappuccinos coming in for team Justin
Instead they're gonna be rocking that blitz setup Annie who got the 1v1 victory on the last round
We'll be running this shield to try to make the push happen.
I'll also note we're here in a brand new bomb site, the bottom floor.
This is commonly thought of to be the best bomb site to defend on bank.
A little surprise, Justin's team didn't choose to go here.
Obviously they didn't need the help, but don't think this game is over just to this 3-0.
I think Shroud's team are in a big advantage now being on defense.
And statistically, this is one of the better bomb sites for the defenders.
So even if we weren't looking at a skewed defender-sided map,
which of course we are with these teams still learning the game,
The Shrouds team would have quite an advantage.
Alright, let's listen to how JustinSquad wants to attack this site because of their successful.
They win, map number one.
I think I got, oh, I hit the bows.
Oh shoot.
Where are they?
What the hell is that?
What does that sound like?
Is that all that's running, or is it?
Do you see him? Hell.
Do you see him?
Where is he?
Can we wall here?
Yeah, we'll know.
Yeah, you want to break it? I can break it.
Do you see somebody?
On the stairs guys on the stairs
If I don't get one kill in this game I quit
Can you rest somebody when they're down yes, if they're down
Does it not show a name above his head or no no wait, so when I got down
You can't get rest if you're down
Can you
Want to tell you this also as fan, but your finger can pick him up
Your melody
The I can't I don't want to give you
Because I see the other team and I don't want to give you information that will lead to us winning. Oh, I see
I don't want to cheat. We've got to use some names or something weapons right spear ZP or sasca
Oh, I like this. I like to spear you can change it right now because you're tech
Honestly, Jesse, I didn't know if we would see an ace pulled off, especially not in map number one, but Soda Poppinson bottles to celebrate after he kills every single person, and again showing why the defenders have such an advantage here, he just got to wait for the attackers to stumble their way through the map and punish them.
Yeah, I mean, hey, the captain of Team Shroud, Soda Poppin, he was doing some excellent IGL work on the Monty over on Attack, especially that third round, and now with the ace to start their defense.
Yeah, they told me this guy's a World of Warcraft player, but I think he's kind of a natural FPS guy, I don't know.
I mean, again, sometimes you just can't teach that. One thing I will say is that World of Warcraft or not, all of these players are experienced in their own realms, right?
So they are proficient gamers. I'm familiar with a bunch of the names here.
Yeah, Rainbow Six is a hard game, but I guess it's kind of good that they're all on the same level. It's not like some of them have more experience.
They took the two guys who knew the game the most they put them in the coaches chair Justin and shroud obviously talking through these rounds with their teams
But everybody else is on the same wavelength
I can hear some frustration on the side of Justin's team, and I don't think that frustration will go away now
Justin's team still sitting on match point, but they've got quite the heady task the defenders have won every single round
Will that happen again? Let's listen in on the side of shroud and they've already got the first kill
now he's in a trap two traps no way your traps dude man you're trapped on
the top yo another person breaking it I'm tugging them that's the thing
they're sitting there in a corner
I'm constantly scanning them.
Dude, I was like, what the hell is he saying?
Bro, he's insane.
Can we get R2 there?
Last guy, he's the last guy.
Yeah, pinging the last guy.
He's literally right there.
What number is the ping?
Oh.
Damn.
What is he saying?
You're so annoying.
Oh my god.
What the hell is he saying?
You're so annoying, dude.
You might be three kills.
Oh, different.
You might be three kills different so what happens if we if we tie OT
we were attackers think it's first to win on attack I think right yeah I this has
to be I think this format is just the first it's gonna be one extra round I
believe isn't like rank this isn't like pro league rules or anything it's just
like kind of like quick match rules I think Ferris would be first to win on
attack. Staff and open area is good here.
Leslie, keep doing what you guys are doing. It's great. Last time they forgot to
reinforce the wall that you went through, Ompi, so make sure you guys reinforce
that because they forgot to do it. Well, one of the things that you teach
new players is to go for the guns that have some of the easiest recoil in the
game to control and Sota Poppin has learned very early on that the T5
makes even the worst players look like world champions.
Yeah, I mean his shots have been incredible.
I actually think it's his positioning too, Parker,
which has been key for Sota Poppin.
Right before we swapped to defense, Shroud told the team,
hey guys, everybody just sit in site
unless there's like one of you who wants to roam
outside the bomb site if you're feeling confident, go for it.
Sota heard that key, he said,
I'm gonna be the guy to roam outside the site
because everybody on Justin's team are just staring at the site
and they're trying to get in.
It opens that door from Sota Poppin,
whether he's roaming up above the bomb site, like in round four, or down below the bomb
site, like in round five, he's always away from his teammates and capitalizing on that
distraction so he can come in and get those kills.
And again, for people that are newer to the game or don't know much about the game at
all, there's usually two things that defenders will do.
Either they will anchor, which for many people in different FPS games will know that as
camping.
That's when you just sit near these two bomb chassis, which are the things
in the little yellow diamonds that say A and B on your screen, or there's roaming,
which is what Soda is doing right now.
Amp is doing the same thing down below,
and basically your goal is to keep map control
and prevent the attackers from being able
to just walk right into the bomb site,
kill their drones, kill their utility, kill time,
maybe kill them in the process.
So, Justin's team is ready for what might be
our final listening, but I've got a sneaking suspicion
we might end up going to overtime.
Okay, come out to me.
This way, I think we do the roof again.
for you know as you can get your drone if you want to that's a wait is that it
just shoot that thing
actually the thing what is that that's that's you're going out that's your
oh okay so space war holds this way okay everybody out yep and space
We're gonna dump
But even if you walk with you
What is that so what does mine do
That shows people on the map red things. That's where players are if they move
15 years
This fucking wall down down here we can go
Together together together together. Oh my god. So there's so many since it's always as a place can be like a bitch
He's in there out there
It's fine
Red pings can they see
Moving through if they're not here. I think the red pings is only our
The red pings is them
Yeah, yeah, we see what one's close once close
In this hallway behind us
There's a guy immediately underneath us
Any behind you on the ground you got their best player you got their best player
There's one guy right you guys have 25 seconds
And I'm going downstairs. I'm going downstairs. Oh my god. Okay once on the stairs right down there
Fuck you, it's seen.
Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch.
Who did the ping thing?
It sucks, we're like out of time.
You're running out of time.
No!
Numbox.
Wow, we found the bombs.
Well that seems really like a defensive side NB, you know?
It is a defense game, but we just need to drone a little bit better.
That's all, because you guys aren't finding the bomb until the round's over.
You know what I mean?
How do I mark something in the beginning when I see them?
Z. Or you hold X and it'll do a channeling, and if you see a person, it'll scan them.
Okay, does that take longer?
Is that kind of like...
A little bit longer.
It's a little bit longer, but also like you guys are kind of...
It doesn't matter to ping them.
That's just to find out what operators they are.
If we just need to find the bomb site so we can move a little bit quicker, you know what I mean, but
Yes, when we put the drone inside you can go back into the drone and move it when the ground starts
Now we were told that this would be a casual cast and that poking front of the players was it was totally allowed
But I gotta be honest with you
I have nothing really funny to say about that previous round
They actually approached it like how a professional team would you usually clear from the top of the map down you try to sort
utility you try to deal with the roamers that are off-site basically they did all of those things
but as many people who are new to the game will soon discover three minutes in a round goes by in the
blink of an eye and if you don't get that diffuser planted before the round is over you'll lose and
unfortunately that's what ended up happening so zero successful attacks across regulation
and now we go to overtime jesse yeah and you know i i heard payo being a little upset he is
0 and 5 to start, but I liked his positioning too. Just being that lone wolf away from your team
It's what's been working for soda popping so far through this game on the defense
It just didn't quite come through in time, and I think it's important note as well
We're spectating we can see the bombs through walls the attackers can't see that
Yeah, and I mean just harping on it. You've got to use drones
There you go pay always a little annoyed that he said he wasn't gonna get a kill while he managed to pull it off
This time all hell is breaking loose. Let's listen about what Shroud's team is doing
Well this round might be over sooner than we think
Oh, yeah, they're using shield tech shield tech
Nice that one. Yeah
People should the C4 on the wall do be to I'm just on a soda. Where they
I'll just help you out here. They're behind you behind me. Oh, yeah
Hey, I'm like a honey, but you gotta go
Please smoked out
Now we have to win this and we win the whole thing, right?
I think so, I think so.
We would win, yeah.
That's crazy.
OK.
You want to go alley?
We go back?
Let's go back.
I'm done back here.
What do you think worked best for you guys?
I think it was when you guys split up a little bit.
When you guys went to the same spot,
I agree.
You guys were kind of all bunched up.
That's why they're losing, too, by the way.
I mean, they're just all stacked up, so try to split up.
Yeah.
You guys are all like Monty or no?
You guys are all like Monty and no.
Ali, by the way.
So
I mean
It sure looks like we're gonna go this entire map without a single attacking victory
The best chance of doing that goes up in smoke so to pop in the big hero on that one
He's broken double digits peek is broken double digits
It really is the battle of the Titans. Now, can Justin Steen pull out a successful defense and send us all the way to the final round?
Yeah, so to pop in. Some would call him a baiter, okay, but I'd call him a clutch master and knew exactly what he was doing with the perfectly timed flank to win the 1v2.
Center at 12 and 4 he is still going to hop on the Monty as he is
Ever so vigilant bringing this shield operator to give those comms to his teams
Kind of wonder if you just want him on a gun on the attacks. He's popping up like this though
I mean look being a caster is really easy if soda guys there
We call him a beta and ask what he was doing that whole time if he pulls off the clutch
We say it was a genius return to sight and a beautifully timed flank
We have the benefit of hindsight and we don't need to be honest people. We can just lie because the viewers
Well, they're gonna buy it right chat. You're gonna buy it. So let's listen in what team do you want to listen in?
You want to listen on?
Let's do just let's do Shras and they've got the harder job of attacking. I
Drone is like DC'd
All right, well we got to move in
I'll be a lot of the scary zones.
I think the bombs are on the stairs too.
So babe, there was a person in the main alley.
Where you're going up, okay.
I'm going roof.
I don't go through the main.
I don't think it's down bottom.
Okay, not going main. I'm right behind you.
I think it's gotta be up.
Bro, I think it's upstairs.
I don't see it.
I think it's right here.
Isn't this the barricade at wall?
It's Z.
It's a five in there.
I don't know.
I'm rambling in oh yeah we found it it's upstairs upstairs okay going up
the stairs and he's right there so he's camping he's on the right side
I don't know where my team to push it. I'll go
We're here yeah, we're here
I'm hacking their phone. I can look at your cameras now
Let's have as you can shoot through the wall to get them
Right here with you. I'm gonna push it. I'm pushing it. I'm down
Oh, you're out. Nice.
Nice, you broke it.
It's 42.
OK, watch out.
Trap is out.
Nice!
I got one.
I'm pushing in.
I'm dead again.
Push right down around the corner.
Right there to the left.
Right there to the left.
To the left?
Yeah.
Maybe just down them?
Down here to the left.
Damn!
Oh my god!
What a comeback!
Oh, that was a town!
I can't go down.
You guys were down at 0-3.
Yes!
Literally, you won round five rounds straight.
That's a thing.
I didn't get it.
I just want to fuck.
OK.
I assume this is our time to talk, Jesse.
But of course, just as it happens in the real Esport,
it will happen here in the Shroud versus Justin Seed
showdown that, typically, when we get to overtime,
conventional wisdom becomes a little bit less conventional.
And the team that has been winning on one side
will suddenly win on the side that hadn't won.
only a single successful attack.
And you know what?
It's the Difference Maker.
Shroud's team taking map number one on bomb,
setting us up for border on hostage.
Before we get there,
any key observations that you witnessed on bank?
Well, I think the Monty from Soda Poppin
is something that I'm gonna continue to go back to
throughout this cast.
He said at the end that he might stop playing
the Monty, was staring at a frost map
for a good 45 seconds in that round
and nobody saw it.
I think it was blending into like the black strip
the floor right underneath the frost mat and I'm glad we had Shroud's cam up
because you could see him actively reacting to the frost map but of course
he couldn't tell his team and and give them the information because that would
have been a little bit sly. Didn't matter in the end though okay they walk into
the frost mat they still are able to get back up and then they trade out
really nicely. One thing I like about Soda's play in particular is it's not
just that he's like roaming and getting these kills on defense but like his
communication is really good on the attack if he is gonna keep being that
shield player, calming to his teammates where the enemies are after he goes down or when
he can see them being that big brick wall, that can make the difference.
Communication siege is so important.
The coaches obviously have a vantage point that isn't usual when you look at Rainbow
Six competitively, right?
So both Shroud and Justin are in as observers.
They get to see what's happening, but they can't relay information about their
opponents, just give general strategy.
And I think they're both doing a very good job.
You know, obviously, Shroud seems a bit more comfortable with how to relay that information
than Justin right now, but also, as far as I'm aware, Shroud has played this game more
than Justin.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but it certainly seems like there's more comfort on the left
side of your screen, and the success has followed that.
Both of the teams look like they got more comfortable, which obviously makes sense,
especially for Justin's team.
They had, unfortunately, a little bit less time to practice.
They spent a great deal of it doing the tutorial,
whereas Shroud's team was walked through
the actual cut and thrust of that first map.
But here's the interesting thing.
Neither of the teams really spent much time on border.
I saw Soda play it a little bit
and Shroud was teaching them,
but that's just map number two.
We still have three more maps after this
that these players are gonna be walking
into completely blind
and border is going to be hostage.
So take everything that you saw
in map number one, throw it out the window.
Hostage, Jesse.
Tremendously imbalanced.
brutal game no longer competitive.
It's purely in casual.
Do you think it's going to be messier than bank?
Oh, absolutely Parker.
I take your bets how many times we're going to see
the hostage get shot in this game mode.
Of course, if you shoot the hostage,
that's an instant loss for your team.
So you got to be really careful, you know,
who you're shooting at before you pull the trigger.
I think it's also going to be on kind of
just this team to keep the mental up.
You know, they did choke a three nothing lead.
They lost five straight rounds
and obviously the sides they were on,
I think had a big part in that.
But when you've got players who can be a bit more emotional,
you look at somebody like Payo,
how can you keep that mental under wraps?
Make sure you're still strong and not losing your mind
as we go deeper into this series.
It was kind of a brutal way to lose the first map
on this series, but now's your time to bounce back
and prove you are the stronger team mentally.
And of course, $15,000 on the line for the team
that is victorious, $10,000 on the line for the losers,
which honestly is not a huge deal.
I mean we know streamers streamers tend to make good money as is they're not playing for the money
They're playing for the bragging rights
You want to be the best predominantly world of Warcraft streamer who learned Rainbow Six Siege and win a show match
That's what you're competing for. Let's be honest. You've got all those buttons on your mice
You've got all these overlays and timers that you use all of that completely meaningless
For a first-person shooter now for those of you that are here that don't really know the way that Rainbow Six works
There are three game modes in Rainbow Six. The main one that the game revolves around and where our pro scene ends up playing on is
bomb. That's what you saw on Bank. There are four bomb sites on every map.
There are two bomb chases and your job is to walk in not a bomb, but to defuse her.
And you want to defuse those bombs. Rainbow Six, of course, is about counter-terrorism, not the other way around.
Hostage is another one of those game modes.
And it has its roots back in the original Rainbow Six that was over 20 years ago because, of course,
We're celebrating over 20 years of Rainbow Six at this point across all the various games
Hostage is a single hostage that is somewhere in the building
If you are an attacker your job is to get into the building grab the hostage and escort the hostage out of the building to an
Extraction zone
Defenders need to kill you and stop you from doing that if either team kills the hostage, which I suspect
People probably see just as you said
The round is over and the team that kills the hostage ultimately loses
So let's kick things off here on map number two on board or shrouds team as you can see in the top of your screen is up
One nothing again just as we saw on bank defenders will likely have an advantage that will favor Justin's team right off the rip
Yes, I think they're bringing trap. Yes, they are
They're bringing trap ops again Jesse
As you'd expect them and of course with Justin squad being the ones to
Have to have this bounce back the ones who need to buckle down and make sure they're aware of
Exactly where these trout players are pushing from why don't we go for a little bit of listening here?
How they're responding after that map one loss
Come get armor come get armor
Right in front of this hostage the one with her mouth
Or I'm gonna run on top of the hostage if they're shooting me make them kill the hostage. I mean, that's not a bad idea
Yeah, wait that someone sees us someone there's a skander somewhere on the ground
Do you see it shoot it? No, I don't see it
If the hostage is here they have to run through it there's no way they can do anything else they have to come here I
Got this then do
All right, I'm not this side here for I am
One person
I think this is our side.
I killed one nothing.
Oh nice.
There's this way, behind you guys, behind you guys, behind you guys, you see this right
here?
Yeah, take me.
Yeah, good call.
Just make a note of everywhere that is open.
Wait, they won't take you this way, I'm going to hit you.
They're in the middle.
Yeah, outside.
Right here.
Yeah, they're very close.
They're going to shoot you.
What's up?
We're gonna shoot you.
We'll suck.
Oh, they're shooting through the walls.
Yeah, they're right here.
Nice, good, good.
Hey, pale, can you look at this?
Oh my god, there was an enemy right here.
Wait, can we come back?
Can we come back?
We can come back.
Yeah, we can come back.
Yeah, I'm right.
Yeah, I'm right.
Yeah, I'm right.
Yeah, I'm right.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Runs out, everybody.
Runs out.
I can't tell you because I have the information right you guys are gaining information for the cameras you can always call for your teammates
Okay, like spamming with a zping. Yeah, that was great. That was a good hold. It just the trades didn't go away. So so let's go
Let's go. Let's go security room
Because that's that one, right?
Yeah, offices are good for us. We like that angle. Let's go straight to him
Okay, so I just want to reiterate one thing when you're dead
Make sure you jump on cams instead of spectating your teammates hit five and cycle through the cams and then use your zping
Two things worth noting there, when we talked about Border, back at the start of the show,
we talked about how it is often affectionately referred to as Hell in a Cell, and a big part
of that is the sheer amount of soft destruction.
If you are new to Rainbow Six Siege, a lot of floors and walls can be shot through,
either with regular bullets, explosives, shotguns, whatever you may choose to use.
You saw Soda Poppin actually blind firing through a soft wall, and he got a kill in the
previous round. That's just number one. The amount of ways that you can approach a particular
part of the map, whether you're playing secure area, hostage or bomb, it is almost unlimited.
And of course, if you have the tools to open up a wall, you can do it or you can just
shoot through it. The other one is that information is often the name of the game, just in reinforcing
or reiterating as he said. The importance of hopping on the cameras that are placed
around the map, they're always in the same spots, you hop on those cameras and you're
able to see where your opponents are coming from.
If you're an attacker, your job of course is to shoot those cameras.
And sometimes the camera just ends up in your hands, as it did for peekaboo in the last
round and whilst we haven't seen anybody successfully deflect bullets with a bullet
proof camera, that's tech that the pros might need to start learning.
I believe Savik's has just fallen off the roof, by the way.
It happens, it happens, it happens to pro players, it happens to people who
are still learning.
There is fall damage in this game, so...
Uh, let's take a listen in on Shroud's team, finding themselves up.
One nothing here on map two.
Up here.
Oh, I'm scared of the second floor.
There's like one way you could go.
Got one.
This is the bomb room right here by the way, Savics.
It's right here.
Yeah, yeah.
Ooh.
Wow.
Still fall damage.
Nice.
Hey, I'm gonna open this.
I gotta go.
Oh, someone right here.
Someone right here, Savics.
I'm calling, I'm calling, I'm calling.
I'm looking right at him.
Can you wallbang him, sir?
From the other side?
Like through here?
Like, right there, right, left P, and right now I just need them.
I got him. He's dead. He's dead. I'm down, though.
Got him.
Traded him.
He's dead.
I got the guy.
Chance.
Chance, I got the guy.
I was so close to taking out the hostage.
Yeah, you just killed him.
I'm sorry, you're with me.
That was good aim.
There's a trap.
There's a trap.
Hold on.
There's a trap.
I'm smoking near you, okay?
Oh, there's a trap.
And they don't see it.
do they? Oh, did they? Oh, we're good. Wait, what is that in front of me? Is that a bomb?
He's alive. What is that? Was there not a trap on the door? Looks like it. What just happened?
It's a 2v2. There are so many emotions right there.
Is that the drone, babe? Let's see you operate. I can't move it. He's here, he's here, he's here.
Yeah. Oh, the trap, the trap, the trap. Oh, there's a bear trap.
On MP drone, on MP drone, I'm being in it.
That's where someone is.
They killed the hostage.
They tried to kill Ami and they killed the hostage.
Let's get them!
They're pushing me and they...
Let's go, Pika!
No!
It's Pika!
Wait.
We gotta use them as like shield walls.
Rush the hostage and just sit there.
Yeah, that is hilarious.
That was incredible.
I'm gonna go east.
Classic.
God.
I'm gonna go east.
Okay.
I'm opening Pika's chat, this is too much fun.
I know.
Oh my gosh, that's good.
So the boom headshot in his chat.
Can you kill the hostage brother?
I got it.
You guys are in a really great start here.
Defense is arguably easier, but maybe hostage isn't.
I've never actually played hostage.
And you know what, Mike?
We have absolutely no damn idea how to play hostage at this level either.
either because it is not an officially supported game mode so we are completely flying by blind but
chat you know what we did it we saw the hostage get killed and that is about as rainbow six siege
as rainbow six siege gets jesse yeah i don't think i've played hostage in six or seven years
something like that so we're all in the same boat i'm not entertaining that parker shroud now
two oh up and an impressive round going from not even knowing what the hostage was saying
is that a bomb? They're using it as their shields. They're gonna have one more attempt to do that on
the attack before they swap sides. It'll be up to Justin's team to prep them from doing so. Listen
in to see how they plan to accomplish that goal. Oh, this is kind of a rough side. Dude, there's
like 50 million angles here. I don't like this at all. I'm pinging them. There's two of them
here. They're gonna repel. They're repelling up to the balcony right now. Second floor balcony.
Okay, I'm like running around here.
Oh, also I guess I should have said this earlier.
You have a compass on your map.
It's in like the middle of your screen.
You can say what side you're in.
You're fucking lying!
You spit, bro!
Where's that fuck?
There's from the sky.
There's like two outside, I think.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
There's a second.
Above us.
Behind you, P.O. and above.
Do you see that?
Is that entry?
I don't see anything.
I'm stairs!
I'm stairs!
I should have shot him.
Wow.
Oh, I have to place them.
There is so many open areas.
Yeah, that zone sucks.
You know what?
Okay, I'm gonna go upstairs, though.
I'm going upstairs for that shit.
No, I'm gonna flank upstairs.
Yeah, they're going on the first floor
and that map kind of sucks
because they have a two-way go on us.
That never picked up on site ever.
That was the brutal.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
All good.
We're on attack.
Now, I recommend, I recommend clearing top and then going down kind of like they
did like repelled up to the second floor, not roof, and then clear up top to see
if the bombs there.
And then if it's not, obviously they're going to be on the first floor
somewhere and you can clear down.
Let's get it guys. Let's walk in. Here we go.
Justin, you can't backseat us. I heard that child backseat every single
before the other team. I hear that even cheating. There's cheating going on out here.
He's not doing that. But he did do it once. That led to the winning the round. But he's
not doing it anymore.
Alright, let's spread out, let's find them. King, the second you see them. Be ready to press Z.
Okay, we gotta use our drones to get our drones in good spots. Let's try top floor then.
If you top floor them, move the work way down.
Okay.
I'm not sure where we're going to spawn though. Let's use the Sumis first floor.
Attack, we need to find the hot ship.
Morale is not good! On the J9 side of things, right now, Jesse.
Yeah, it's a little bit rocky, but you know, we saw Shroud's team come back from a 3-0 deficit on map number one.
It's possible for Justin to do the same.
I did say keeping that mental up was going to be the big challenge for Justin's squad,
and it feels like they are running into some issues with that for sure.
But on hostage, sometimes it can be easier to play on the attack than the defense.
I certainly saw they having a good time of it in that previous round.
I think 4K playing the vert with the dokobie.
You don't always think of Dokamy as a vert operator, but she used her expertly and I think putting in a good bit
To maybe be the best Vtuber I've ever casted playing Siege
Now if this were a regular game all the fans of Justin's team would be doing
That's fine. It's an attacker side of map. It's an attacker side of map
I'll just take another hit of copia. I'll just take another hit of copia miss fine. No worry. We got it guys
We got a 3L now unfortunately. I don't know if I believe that in my heart of hearts, but
But the job right now is to do what your opponents have now done to you, and also do to you on map number one.
This is eight rounds in a row for Shroud's team across map one and map two.
So yeah, you got to get vibes up a little bit or else this map is also going to be over.
So why don't we listen to the team that might be about to secure their flawless 4-0 victory.
We'll take a listen to what Shroud's team is doing.
I got someone here. I pinged. I pinged right there. Someone's there on the three. Downstairs?
I just see a drone too. What the hell? Where are these guys shooting from? I hear footsteps
Yeah
You guys have to take crossfire.
Wow.
We had that room locked down.
Let's go, babe!
You guys have that map down to a T.
What can you say, Parker?
What can you say?
I have no idea.
You know what I can actually say?
Why the hell are there so many
minion-related emojis in Trout's chat?
What is going on here?
That is what I have to say because there is very little that we can say about a hostage map on border
I'm glad that teams actually got the real border experience
Which is why am I dying from places that I didn't even know existed through floors and walls again?
Doesn't matter if you're pro player you're playing your second match ever
That's just how border goes baby, and that's exactly what happened in map number two
Yeah, I think our total tally was one hostage shot two players fell off the roof and a 4-0 score line coming in for team
Shroud so you can't ask for much more than that in a show match like this for what is by the way the
First-ever tournament here in year 11 of siege on release day of year 11 season 1
We've got so the coaches in now here. We've got shroud with us the very least shroud
I mean up to oh your team looking unstoppable. That's eight round. No nine round wins in a row
Yeah, I mean I I felt like everybody was really really
really confused at the beginning and I was trying to do a lot of micromanaging at the
people.
Well, first things first.
First round I let them play it out and just let them do their thing and then I realized
maybe I should micromanage this a little bit so I told them to kind of start splitting
up on their attacks, which inherently they went back to grouping up.
This only natural, right?
Trying to stay in that pack and then I was really firm, I was like, guys, you
need to spread out because everybody's, even when the other team, even when
Justin seems to be attacking they were all stacked up, but finally I kind of drilled that into them and they started to
Spread out and stuff, which was awesome. It was that was crazy. That was crazy games
Yep
What happened over there?
We kind of the morale is a little bit down. I won't lie. There was a lot of friendly fire
I noticed there's a lot of friendly fire Grayson fell off the roof. He didn't get picked up either
We're in a little bit of shambles, I'm not going to lie after the forum, but I'm going
to give them a little pep talk, I think.
If it makes you feel any better.
We also fell off the roof.
Yeah, I saw that.
And that map that we just played, my team got the most practice on.
I think they played that map for almost an hour.
I'm not kidding.
When you guys were having your issues and you couldn't join, they just played 2v3s
on the map so much.
So they were really, really experienced on the map.
I literally didn't say a word.
I didn't do anything.
I just watched.
No, I know.
So just something to keep in mind.
I don't know if my team even looked at the third map.
Yeah, shall we?
Bring it for everyone.
Yeah, it's interesting.
We actually talked about this, too,
about the fact that Justin's team had way less practice
on both bank and border.
Obviously, nobody has any practice on hostage whatsoever.
So we were expecting it to be hell.
And I mean, it looked like it was hell.
Justin, you look like you've aged 10 years
in the span of a single map.
Yeah, I was trying to,
I'm trying to get them to like kind of work together,
but people are liking to go off on their own a little bit.
And I feel like them sticking together
needs to be the priority for this upcoming map.
That's interesting.
We have like a different logic.
I think at the beginning, my team was too stuck together.
So I told them, let's spread out.
And then they started, that's when they went
on their streak.
Like at the beginning, they were so clumped up.
And I was like, guys, you need to spread out.
So it's interesting that you guys
have two different tactics.
I, the reason I think that is just because they don't know what they're doing and they
get stuck on parts of maps or they fall off roofs.
So sticking together so they can get picked up or like entering a building and trading
someone out, you know, that's always a positive thing.
This is our final thought before what might be the end of the road here.
It might be a 3-0 sweep for Shroudsteam.
Justin, I'm going to leave the final words, well, I'm actually going to leave the final
with Mike very quick but Justin give me a longer answer here what is your focus heading into map
number three how do you stop defeat from arriving? I personally think that we need an IGL everyone's
kind of just running around with their heads cut off and I think we need to dedicate one person
that calls something and they do exactly what that person says and on attack it's going to be
vital on defense I just want them to play trap operators and stay on the bomb site not a lot
a lot of roaming kind of just focus on the objective.
And Mike, for you very quick thoughts,
what do you got to do to drive this one home?
Three, how big victory for you and your team?
What's the secret sauce?
I honestly think keep doing what we're doing.
I have a designated camera operator on defense.
She never leaves, she stays on cams
and pings for my roamer, which is so to pop in,
he roams for me.
As long as we keep that dynamic duo going,
the watching the cams for the roamer,
he's getting great entry kills every single time
we keep doing that on defense i think we're gonna be okay attack
is really really difficult it's really chaotic
i i just hope for the best every time i watch them probably honest we don't have
any secret sauce there besides splitting up i know i know just the strategies to
stay together but i told him to split up and that's about it so i'm a lot i
trust their judgment
you know i feel like i was a good coach
it's been working so yeah
the dedication on the cans is something that even proteins could learn so the
fact you've been able to teach them so quickly. If you're ever looking to not
be a streamer anymore and you'd like to take a substantial pay cut and work
significantly more for an eSport, maybe coaching Rainbow Six is in your future,
my friend. Well, that's all I'm gonna say. You never know. You never know. Good
luck to both of you and what might be, but hopefully is not our very final
man. Hopefully not. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks. Jesse, do you
You have any four plus whatever.
Oh no, Parker, I feel this might be a three.
Oh, they're still here, they're still here.
Oh, my bad.
Okay, he's left now.
Yeah, this might be over.
I just feel like, I think the coordination
is a significant step above on Shroud's team, Parker.
We're seeing Sota pop and be empowered by his teams.
We're giving him the cams and the pings
and the information the same time on their attack.
Well, it is sometimes chaotic.
I also feel like Sota has kind of stepped up as that IGL.
It wasn't specifically given it to him,
but when he was playing the Monty back on map number one,
he was doing a lot of that primary calling for his team.
So just feels like maybe they're a step ahead
on the meta.
They're a little bit more practiced
on some of these maps and I think it'll make
the difference for a 3.0.
I can't believe you hadn't left the channel.
I didn't know it was this sort of,
that was kind of a work.
We're going to live stream fail for sure on that one.
I saw the chat by the way I've been asking about
why does it say 2025 in the bottom left?
Could you believe this that this entire show
was recorded a year ago?
Every single thing that is happening right now
has been prerecorded.
Every stream, every comment, every single thing
to be recorded, you are all in a simulation.
So welcome.
Congratulations, we're trying some new stuff here.
which the final frontier of the universe, so.
Great, we gotta really build game as well of Rainbow Six
from a year ago, nice.
Yeah, a year ago, a year ago, we hadn't even announced
C-Jackson, we're already playing it in the one year
after it released, so, yeah.
Man, I cannot believe you and I just destroyed
Justin's mental that hard.
When you're the coach, your mental can be destroyed,
okay, it's something we actually talk about a lot
at a high level, is like, coaches need to be able
to reset the mental of their players,
doesn't matter if you're freaking out as a coach,
or if you have no faith,
you're gonna make sure the players believe in themselves.
So that's the task being given to Justin.
He was picked as a coach for this competition for a reason.
And maybe he can make me a fool
and we can bring this to a full five map series.
I mean, the old adage every comeback starts
with one round, right?
I mean, you've got quite the task ahead of you.
You won the first three rounds of this competition.
And since then you've got very little to show for it,
but that's okay.
We've seen that in smaller circuits.
We've seen that in amateur circuits.
One of the greatest grand finals
in the history of our eSport was a reverse sweep
come from behind victory all the way back in 2018.
So for people who are desperately hoping,
and again, if you're huffing that opium, that copium,
you're hoping that you've been big on the comeback.
And I mean, some people, maybe Justin will be angered
by us openly insulting him to his face.
And maybe he will use that as motivation
to empower his team or maybe it's an atom bomb
versus a coughing baby and then he gets smoked.
Who knows?
Well, we are just here for the ride.
We're headed back into bomb
and we're headed back to Chalet.
Now, Shroud has said this is his favorite map
to play on as an individual.
So that might give a bit of benefit to his team.
I also think specifically on bomb,
defense will have a really heavy advantage
just like we saw back on bank,
but Justin's gonna have to start on the attack.
So how will they overcome some of those early problems?
Can they designate an IGL early in this game
so that they have one voice to play behind?
And can they stick together?
Because that's what the coach was really asking for
in between maps.
He wanted his team to be ready
and to be able to play as a unit
because they're gonna walk into frost traps.
They're gonna walk into thorns.
They're gonna get down.
So they might even fall off the roof here on shell A.
Making sure that you can pick your teammates back up
and play as a unit.
I think it's gonna be really important
to start this game off strong.
If we see Shroud go up 3-0 on defense, that'll be 12 straight rounds that his team will have won.
I fear the mental won't be there.
Yeah, I obviously am a little worried.
Not that I think this matters at this level of gameplay, because again, these are beginners who are learning the game.
It is much more casual.
But if we were in a pro competitive environment,
Chalet and Border have a lot more comparable notes than Bank does to either of these maps, right?
Chalet has a lot of that same soft destruction that we saw on Border.
You can get killed from outside of the building
when you're inside the building really easily on Chalet
just as you see on border.
Now, the one thing that I think will bode well
for Justin's team here is that they are starting on attack
and Chalet does tend to be quite favorable
for the attackers.
So that obviously is going to be a benefit
on their side of things.
Additionally, this isn't hostage.
Let's be completely frank.
Hostage is a dreadful game mode.
There's a reason why it is not competitive
in the slightest.
It is a goofy game mode that is played for fun.
we are back on what is considered to be
the premier game mode of Rainbow Six,
the default game mode, that's bomb.
So these players will be a bit more familiar
and it'll be a bit more forgiving
to both the attackers and the defenders.
So my hope is, is that you shake off those two,
maybe just even that one map
because border is very easy for you to just be like,
that was terrible, let's just move on.
Bank is the one that's gonna stick in mind.
So, hey, we're almost ready to get in.
If you're Justin's team,
you cannot let the mental crater,
If you're Shroud's team, you just gotta keep doing what you're doing, get pucks deep, you know, all that stuff.
Because you're four rounds away from a $15,000 prize pool.
Yeah, they've got to be excited there over on Team Shroud, but we'll load on into Chalet.
You said something, Parker, that I think was really important, that this map can be attacker-sided.
Certainly, at a professional level, we see that.
And the reason why often it's attacker-sided is because you can get a lot of good angles from outside the building.
There's a lot of windows on the top floor, there's some good balconies.
You can often kill defenders without even entering, and especially if the defense are playing around trap operators, frost, capcan, lesion, and thorn, that can be a really effective strategy because these traps aren't going to be able to go outside the building.
Will that be something that Justin has communicated to his team? Will they have had time to talk about the meta of Chalet? I'm going to stay probably not, but if they can play with these windows, if they can play on some of these longer angles outside the building, that's I think where they're going to find the most success on attack.
Absolutely agree and of course they'll be rocking the trap operators a small change and it's been brought in the Irish operator of Thorn, who admittedly will be on cams if what Shroud said is correct.
But still you can throw those razor booms around. Thorn is one of the newest buffed operators. She was largely useless in almost every scenario to the point where she wasn't even fun to play in casual.
Now she's mighty good. She throws these little bombs that are proximity based if you hop in or get near them
They go off very quickly. They do a lot of damage the closer you are to them
And they hobble you if you get hit by it and survive you bleed out and walk slower and make noise
You have a debuff. She's a very strong operator and I imagine those traps will cause Justin's team some problems
But speaking of Justin's team. Let's hear how they handle this first round
and then we're gonna cover fire for Pika coming in in case he gets shot at.
Pika you have bomb by the way.
They go to the team here.
Okay come in.
Where are you at?
There, there, there, there.
With Pika, with Pika.
Okay.
Let's go up higher, let's go up higher.
What the hell is happening?
Go up all the way to the roof now.
Now that we're reconvened.
So we know that it's on the second floor right here.
So everybody should walk.
I
View if you got a drum thing in there, too, okay, I
Wonder if we can break one of these glasses, but they're gonna be able to hear us
It's fine. We don't go we break up and we go to check in the drone we can you can ping them
Yeah, we should drone should go so check check the drone. I'm just gonna get no access from this roof
There's no access from this roof into the yeah, I'm checking drone right now
I'm trying to get in the building.
Should I pray here?
I might die, brah.
Again, dude.
Someone get in there.
Brahson, someone resin please.
resin please, let me have a big push.
Oh my.
I'm taking drugs.
How do I drop?
I'm not the boss.
I'm getting out.
The wing on the roof was bad idea then, bro.
We're gonna.
What the fuck?
Yeah, but we'll pray that later.
I do.
Bro, you guys are choking.
are you guys all dead
they see us on the scanner and they see us
They see us as it can work. Where are they?
I'm gonna
We need to you know, don't shit out don't shit out. Yeah, we have to push but also we can't be too loud and blow up a
Hostage. Yeah, but it wasn't 47 left. It's over. Yeah
Hey, don't go down in this room with the smoke careful careful
Watch out for the grenade here. They see us on scan. What's right here?
Oh my god, the roof was the worst idea has been do.
Yeah, but we don't know that.
We don't know the map.
You're right.
You're right.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
So we were trying to just go in and play.
Just send it, just send it.
Just pull them.
You're still in the car.
Just pull them.
You gotta plant the bomb.
Oh my god, where am I?
Plant it, plant it, plant it.
We have to plant it.
We have to plant it.
Just get ready, we haven't done it.
They only have one way into this bomb, sir.
Now it's that door that you're looking at.
They only have one way into this bomb sorry now it's that door that you're looking at as fan right here at one pink side
Is this the first successful diffuse plan just you should get it from the other angle cuz I'm
Yeah, this would be the very first ever plants because we didn't see any on map one
Oh, they're here outside the store.
Yeah, okay.
Got one.
Nice.
At least he's lazy.
So what if he comes on guy?
No, I missed him.
That's right.
I mean, I made it.
They haven't appeared.
No!
Yes!
Let's go!
The most unlikely of wins!
Let's go!
The most unlikely of wins!
Oh my God!
I gotta stay away from roofs.
No!
Let's go!
Let's go!
The most unlikely of wins!
Let's go!
The most unlikely of wins!
Oh my God!
The most unlikely of wins!
I
Let's let's go let's go let's do lakeside again
How the absolute fuck did they win that round
What this Parker?
Jesse
It should have been done the second that they step onto the roof. We already know they're gonna fall off it
Okay, shall I roof the touristy slippy slippery? You can see all the snow. Okay, not one, not two, but three
Californians not understanding how snow works
the disrespect and
Even beyond that right when you fall off you get picked back up. You're down to about 15 20% HP, right?
They don't die to those traps if they're at full health
So if they don't fall off the roof, they don't dive that thorn trap
They don't die to that cap can trap somehow
There's just nobody from shrouds team actually on the bombs like to stop the plant the post plant positioning from S band
It was actually incredible in that round
I have no idea how they walked away with the victory, but credit credit dude. They stopped the streak from shroud
three players on 20 HP
Traps scattered throughout the entire map and yet they survive all of them walk
I guess except for here technically
They get the diffuser down the first successful diffuse plan and they play it so well in the post plan
I'd be tripping over myself if this was a real it well
I guess they're a real team maybe a pro team here, but yeah
I mean you also got to realize the timer works against you when the diffuser goes down
I don't think shrouds team knew that they had to get there before the timer reaches seven seconds
It takes seven seconds to counter disable
So if the timer reaches that seven second mark or lower the round is over the attackers win
Let's hear how shrouds team is going to tackle the second round
If you're in the site, it's okay to move if the roamers don't want to move
Love this
They're learning Jesse
Yeah
They're coming down stairs, I think.
I see him, I see him. He has a wall, he has a shield, he has a shield.
Dude. Oh, who are you kidding me?
They're through the garage, yeah, through the garage.
Oh my gosh.
What is that?
Oh, stop, wow.
They are locked in.
I got one. That pep talk really worked.
Holy.
I need my roamers to get inside.
I need my roamers to get inside.
He's right behind them all still on four ping right on four ping they could do this
They're planning, but they could still do this. Oh, they don't know how to diffuse though right in the corner
Oh, no, I'll be just one patient three but okay diffuser planted they planted on this and just fucking fried soda pop
Yeah smoked
Justin team Justin team but they look good right now
No
Okay
They're trying to game up. Yeah. Yeah, no more tub. No more
Yeah, I'm too much having too much fun way too much fun
You guys want to swap trats maybe do the same thing we did last time where four of you guys played site and only chance roaming
Okay, well, I remember grab honestly as fan dies if I grabbed armor there
Yeah, the armor is really armor is massive like that that gives me an extra to kill
the second you spawn look at your Rook and instantly grab that armor. Dude I didn't
know they could break through that barrier. I always my back was to the wall.
Do my back would you have heard the... Well I'm not gonna give us credit for this
comeback but I'm certainly gonna say we gave Justin some motivation to improve
and boy oh boy have they improved through two rounds. Oh they're angry Parker.
there looking like a well-oiled machine on some of these attacks.
There's so much roaming going on from Shroud. They're not playing together, so when Justin
Squad just hits the site, it's a massive man advantage coming up from Justin.
The problem was diagnosed by Team Shroud. They're having too much fun. That is apparently the issue.
I would say it's that they didn't react at all to the main breach being opened up,
but Tomato Tomato, in any case, they've got to find some way to react to that push,
Bringing it down to a one-man roam with just so to pop and going on a bit of aggressive play
Ampie maybe gonna come back to site actually currently in fireplace
So could be going for a bit of a double roam again. We got to be really careful about this fast push through the snow breach
Yeah, they actually tackled that bottom floor bomb site perfectly right open up the breach hold main stairs
And now you've put the defenders in a position where they are forced into the back of the site
And they need to win basically 50 50 gunfights and it looks like they're gonna tackle it again
Why not if it worked once exactly how you did it before let's hear her Justin attacks and this team attack this site
We have to kind of move through I think
I'm gonna do red targets
they're kind of far there's one person there's two people in this room the three two people
they're left side of the back door right here there's one here and then you have some breaks
i just want to let you know you have smokes oh damn
is that a sucks we're like sitting here you have smokes and you're just letting you know
this is three rounds we're gonna check the right floor close i'm looking back over here
just for this new chapter right now should we move through it feels bad if i'm gonna
we should run around or something yeah sure we got two minutes bro we got a
lot of time I thought we got to do
the roadside I kind of like this play they're not gonna expect it on the
side of the roadside there's no way you can tell me that these are brand-new
players this is exactly what you say I'm gonna attack this
match this is a perfect play from Justin scene
They are directly. Yeah. Yeah.
You see right there.
I got him. Nice. Nice.
That's the best guy.
He's probably alone here.
There's someone there.
All the way across me. And he looked this door.
I'm going on the right side.
No one there.
We have a drone here.
Yeah.
I'm going in right now.
I'm looking in.
I
Don't see it right now
Could go down the stairs here to be
But they think they know where we are down this stairs right here down there down it's the stairs right here
Two of them down the stairs. Yeah, I pinged it down this hall. You see me
Down one down the shooting I'm coming coming down one got one
He's right there by the blue on the left
Oh my god. That's crazy.
We missed the traps.
Oh, we need to remember to shoot traps.
Oh my god.
We need to just go through. Damn it.
Okay, hey, that's okay. Two attack rounds is huge. It's all right.
That's huge.
That's a big, we have one, not one singular attack round before that.
So we're in good, we're in good, I can't think of it, we're in a good spot.
We need a, or do we have, are we playing all the things with the traps like that?
And we're, yes, you, yes, you don't have foreign unlocked, but that's okay.
You have what three, four trap operators.
Just run them, play your bomb site.
Do not leave it too far.
If you are going to stay in the room next to it, just don't go too far and
get ice or, why did I spawn enough?
He could, I don't get it.
Because you picked random or something.
Yeah, you probably picked random.
You have to pick, so when the picking where your spawns part comes, it'll show like a number of your teammates that are going to that spot as well.
You guys should all probably just spawn together.
Okay, so we got, which one do we want? Do we want to play that where the bomb just was? Or do we want to go a new spot?
Down to go there. Are we attacking right now?
I think if we go where the bomb was, then, uh,
and then they'll know, yeah, because they'll know where they're from.
I'm down for Master Veteran.
Oh, that's fast.
What was the name of the V, the grenade?
Well, Ulysoft devs are almost certainly blushing at the amount of thorn success that we have
seen so far here on Chalet.
Shroud said that V was just going to be on cams the entire time, but I mean,
Hey, if you've got a passive gadget which Thorn does, throw those Razor Blooms down and then just go sit on cams.
Why not? They is top-fragging right now and has spent most of it as a pylon on cameras!
She is tremendous and those Razor Blooms have been such a proverbial and literal thorn on the side of this Justin Squad.
Yeah, they top-fragged on Border as well too, don't forget. So she has been really racking up the kills.
I think her Doka be play back on board was very good too.
So don't count out these players on Shroud's team
who maybe don't have as much FPS experience
but still are being able to use their brain.
It's a brain game, not an aim game at the end of the day.
They're down by one still.
Shroud Squad will be in the advantage on the series
but now we can see if their attacks can pay off
in the same way that they did for Team Justin.
Yeah, let's listen in on Shroud's side of things.
I'd like to hear how they encounter
potential Shroud operators themselves.
No, you're good. Oh, that's the garage right there
Wait, what do I do with this for this site?
I go to like a second floor window and just like peek it like get on top of a second floor window and just like take a fight
Guys, I'm pinging all of Pika's traps here. Dude. He got me. No
But do they not stay paint? No
Hey, there's traps right in front of you both doorways. Yep. Yep. You got him
There was two of them
there's another one here I pinged it all right I'm getting on my kick I got to go
oh this is tough we already lost ompie ompie's blitz he's a good way to make
space they're not even in the in the building yet but they are peeking good
windows I told them I told them I said peek windows what they did wrong
Oh
That's fine, they still you can still do this to before they still got it they still got it
Okay, which way was it we did a little bit of trolling at the very beginning
I don't know the first round the bathtub strategy mayor here back stairs, but I still have cut I still have faith
Oh
I see a camera, right?
Let me kill that can yeah, you can
Oh, oh, I'm dead. I got just pale. There's a bunch of traps. I'm shooting. I don't know if I go
Is there another way up there? I'm like you can you could go outside?
Yeah, there's another staircase in here right in front of you. I
See it
So there might be traps there
But now they know you're coming for us this is tough we might have to start thinking next map
I'm gonna say they broke all the time. I don't think I showed them the next map. Yeah, I feel like just you're right
Can we cheer right the I hold right now this way?
So it's gonna be really yeah, it's gonna be someone over this repair was but yeah, maybe just go left fuck it I
Think if they go basement we can win. I think there's a trap right there in the door
I think my team has seen basement the best nice
Nice!
He does have...
Nice.
Dude, they're breaking...
This is...
Look how much they've learned in like...
Does it take a couple hours?
What do I do with this?
Is it a diffuser?
Imagining one before, so...
Oh, when am I gonna...
Oh, rotate!
I mean, sights!
No, this is cool!
They know that...
Defend it!
Does it defend this?
You can hear him here.
Find you!
Find you!
No!
That was another...
Oh, that was true!
Nice try.
Wait, maybe they don't want to defuse it.
Oh, nevermind.
Dang it!
Nice try, so nice try.
My heart dropped a little here.
The whole gear is going to basement out, so you guys can go through that side after.
30 seconds if they hadn't found it in time.
I think you guys split well.
How I come to go through the window is really, really good.
It's going to be map made now with our shield guy.
Our shield guy can go in and find his shroud.
I was like, enter.
The people who don't have shields play the windows again.
Yeah, I don't know if Mike is talking to his team or not, it looks like we can't hear him at this present point in time, hopefully the stream can, but my goodness, what a turnaround it has been.
You need a pep talk. Justin tried to give a pep talk and map number two didn't work out here in map three. Certainly looking like we're not at the end of the road just yet.
It's a big mic, he's got to get his team back in this.
in this. That attack genuinely so winnable just because you always in C is one of the
key rules. If you're a defending player you have to make some kind of a rotate between
the two bomb sites so that you can easily get from one to the other. They didn't have
that on Justin's team last time around so even in the 1v3 I think if Savix is a little
bit faster repositioning he probably is able to win that clutch out and could have
gotten the round in for shroud but ultimately just not there enough it's
not a bad look on the attack though despite us still being here on bomb
that's probably better than almost every attack we saw on bank you and I had
needed ourselves while the teams were talking to each other and we both gave
some credit to how these teams have really tightened it up you know I'm it
doesn't honestly and I look people are gonna think that I'm paid to say
this and technically I am paid to say this but I also meet it and would
except no money for it.
This does not strike me as the third map
that most of these people have played.
Like if I was, if you were to show me this
and be like, how experienced are these people?
I would be like, yeah, they look like probably like silvers.
Like they don't obviously have
a great understanding of the game,
but in no universe, if you said in tarot,
does it look like these people have only played three maps
of Rainbow Six Siege?
I would say, hell no.
So credit to both of these teams
for the improvements they're making.
And I mean, as we get deeper into this series,
I suspect it's just gonna get more and more competitive.
Let's listen in Justin's team as they might be on what could be the final round of Shallie
You can take any into your left across clear past one past
There's two of them at the door there's two of them at the blown out
door yeah come like close to one close to one they're just sitting there's three
there three there I don't have a grenade I don't have a grenade okay nice
There's
Wait by the garage or no
Directly in front of me directly in front of me the stairs walk in walk in and go to the right
Just so I can see them walk in go to the right across the in that door in that doorway in that doorway directly in front of you
Let's fucking go pick up Jesus
Good job
I didn't want to walk up so I could keep eyes on them by the way Pika
That's what I'm back up. You know, that's like I'll just die. I'm in the differential the cams are the differential
I don't know if we're gonna have Justin and trap join us in here
but Justin is going to absolutely demolish us if we get to talk to him.
We were very wrong.
Yeah, I mean, they turned things around.
Frankly, I mean, you heard Justin talking about it right after the game.
The cams were the difference.
That's something that Shroud even said.
Hey, I've got one guy permanently on cams, right?
We've got that information flowing on the defense,
and you saw it there on the other side of the coin.
Justin's team always had somebody feeding that information, giving out those calls,
some genuinely nice shots at the end there too, flanking back down those snow stairs to win it up.
I was a little concerned because again we had a full reinforcement between the sites, but
Parker the information made all the difference. Teams, Justin, what an improvement between maps
two and three, making me eat my words. All it took was them falling off of the roof multiple
times to embarrass themselves, humble themselves, learn and grow from it.
And now here we are going to map number four again.
It is a bit striking to me that we have hostage mixed in for those that like hostage.
We're going right back to it.
Oregon is going to be the map, one of the, honestly, probably one of the poster childs
for this game at a competitive level.
Many a championship has been one on this particular map, maybe not on a hostage, whatever.
What if you watch any of the 1v1s that people do? It's the top floor of Oregon where all
of those 1v1s that are so popular on Twitch and YouTube right now tend to be fought. I
got to say, you know, these teams are genuinely learning and improving. They are figuring
out how to use the clock appropriately. They are switching up their operators. They
are figuring out if you're going to bring an intel op, if you're going to bring
a shield op. How do you go about addressing where the defenders are? And I got to say,
Again, I'm tripping over myself here.
I think the level of gameplay has just grown exponentially.
And I'm a little worried that we
are going to a hostage game mode,
because I fear it might take a bit of a step back,
but I am still excited to see what that brings us.
And Parker, I think that is fundamentally
the beauty of Siege, is that there's always
something to learn.
There's always something to grow and improve on.
I've recently been getting some of my IRL friends
who don't play FPS games into Siege.
And I think the most rewarding part of this game
is learning.
It's getting better.
It's understanding a new level and a higher dimension
to the game that you're playing.
There's always something new to learn in this game.
There's always something you haven't thought of
that your enemies are gonna be able to exploit.
And we're seeing a real battle of wits
between Team Shroud and Team Justin.
Yeah, I mean, we saw an angle
on one of the oldest maps played in our entire Eastboard.
A map that's almost 10 years old
and we saw an angle at our six invitation,
the event that just transpired a month ago.
Now we'd like never seen before
and there was another angle,
I think in one of the regional leagues,
like three months ago, again on a map that you think
had been studied to death, but because of the destruction
in this game, floors, walls, windows, whatever you may,
whatever you want to may bring up,
there are so many angles that you have not even thought of
yet where somebody on Chalet in particular,
somebody can be on the top floor
and shoot through two separate floors
and look in the basement and get a kill.
That's unheard of in a lot of games,
let alone a tactical first person shooter.
So if you are somebody who is on the fence here,
and this is not an ad,
if you are somebody who's on the fence here,
Rainbow Six is free to play.
You can install it right now.
If you'd like, you might have to buy some of the operators
or grind for some of the operators.
I know people who play MOBAs have to encounter that
as well, but it is a great game
with an incredibly high skill ceiling.
It is very rewarding and it is much better
when you play with friends as well.
Because you know, solo queue can be kind of toxic.
There can be team killing and a lot of unfun stuff,
but you should definitely try the game.
And Parker, I mean, I don't wanna count my chickens
before the hatch, but I think there's gonna be
a couple of streamers in this competition
who might end up playing more Siege than just tonight.
You never know, it's kind of an addicting game.
And once you kind of get that itch,
once you start to feel that improvements,
I think it can be a lot of fun to keep on grinding.
But they'll be on shroud steam now to adapt a little bit
and to try to improve.
I'm almost hoping we see them rain in some of those
roams that they were going for.
Because every round, it felt like we were seeing
and so to pop in, leave the bomb site, go on a bit of a journey, kind of leave their teammates on the defensive side of things.
And while sometimes that was finally a success, especially for Sota back on map one,
I feel like it's just being exploited by these rush strategies being brought up by Justin.
If we're going to see any adaptations from Team Shroud, I'm hoping that's something we can see.
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of funny the path that we've gone on now as we load in here for our fourth.
And again, what could be our final map if Shroud's team prevails? This will be the end of the road.
But when you start to learn Rainbow Six Siege, you're going to spend an incredible amount
of time hunkered down around the bomb site, as we saw in map number one.
Map number two, we started to see a bit more roam.
We saw some roams on map one, two, but not anywhere near as common as what we saw on
map three.
The problem with roaming solo, as Shroud's team was doing with Soda, is that you were
unsupported.
And if four players mob you, you are done for.
And so to found that out the hard way on Chalet, so now you need to adapt.
If you're going to roam, send two players out on the roam because that will likely net
you greater success.
Justin's team is going to be starting on defense, they didn't really have a lot of
problems on the roam, so this mostly applies to Shradd's team.
But speaking of Justin's squad, let's have them take us to round number one.
as well where I'm at, don't fortify this.
I think they know where we are keep the comms up make sure you use cams yeah I'm going cams
right now I'm rotating they're coming in through here they're going second floor at one they're
going second floor they just broke a window so they're all the second floor they're near
you and they're they're near you right now any they're directly above you on the roof
If somebody else is going in on the first floor.
Hey, come here.
I just came to the east.
That makes it more interesting.
To the east first floor, Pika, they're going to work their way up towards you.
I'm changing cams.
Yeah, they're breaking through by me.
Cams.
We need more.
We need less people on cams.
Just get on cams.
I think they're on the hostage.
Low key.
Yeah, they're inside.
I just got shot.
No cams.
They're through that door.
Pika booze in trouble.
We need some help.
Where is it?
Oh.
Oh, does he win that?
I'm gonna be on the camps now because I'm dead yeah cold camps you're dead you get
on camps all my camps are inside nice one slow I don't see anyone you're good
do you have anything nice has been damp it out damp it out yeah please look we're all
looking at you don't don't chase them you just said yeah just said wait nice to play off each other
hey is there anything up top on the balcony behind me we don't really have a good view
you have anything to tell you if you just play slow we don't see it you have
the hostage so just play off each other yeah a minute just dampen you heard him
shoot
The difference.
Here, footsteps near one.
Close to SFN, no steps near one. They might be in the hallway right here at one.
Back into your right. Yeah, near the front of your, to your, yeah.
Yeah, they got to run into you so I think they're outside of here snow footsteps at one pale come come to the hostage
And second, he's low. He's low. He's low. He's low. He's low
Yeah, talk to the hostage don't pull the hostage though
Holy
won the round but because you killed him first the round was one it doesn't matter
if you hit the hostage that was very close that's the
we should always kill the hostage afternoon to midpoint right yeah if you
want to hold me you guys got my heart racing that was let's go let's go
kitchen looks bad let's go let's go meeting hall because looks like looks
like meeting halls a lot of corners that we can use if they pick up the
hostage can they shoot you? Jesse if we were casting that game like for real
things and not just like casual casting where we listen to it I would have lost
my goddamn mind. Parker, Esfand is sitting in the corner in the same room as the
hostage he gives like eight different callouts as to where the last guy is
all of them wrong he's in the same room as Esfand but he's got bad
I don't know the sound maybe not working so well on his headset both were right in that room being shown off now by our observer
Somehow they still managed to clutch up in the 1v1
I mean great reaction to come through from KO at the very end there and win the 1v1
My god team Justin what a streak they've been on these last two maps now
I'm obviously keeping up to date with as many chats as possible
They were saying that S-Fan had apparently lost his contact
had gone back into his head something like that maybe that's impacted the way
that he saw the room I'm not entirely sure maybe maybe he's playing at a
disadvantage because he knows that Justin's team has the juice right now
who knows sure but either way I you want to give credit to him can we talk
about peekaboo for a second here peekaboo is a monster and has continued
to be a monster for this team winning entry engagements against these
attackers time and time again it is setting up Justin's team oh so well
bit of a devastating loss for Shred Squad on round number one so let's hear how
they tackle round number two yeah I'm kind of chill for a sec while everyone
else gets in okay she's over there
Oh
Okay, listening so I'm gonna blow up above you okay, okay
This is interesting. He's playing vert here. She's like I didn't teach him this
It's not in the right spot. There's a this is how you're going in. I can I can push them
That's pretty
Check on blind listen. We got a couple hours of gameplay. I don't see anything on the right
To to in this corner to this corner over there. I miss I miss I'm reloading
Okay, good I
Don't know they know is there someone behind her. Are they still there? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Last person's best man
Yeah, I don't know if I hurt you guys on the end last game soda. Can you not stand down?
I'm going to load up, I'm going in to um
I'm scouting this, okay
I don't know if I see anybody, I'm sure he's on this side, yeah I see him
That was good, you guys literally approached, playing that verticality there was so good Zabric
Playing above him and then breaking the floor, fantastic
Confusing them if they're yeah, if they're ever in that situation again
You do that same stuff if they they might go basement now because they've gone everywhere else. They might try basement
So just drone that first
And once again, yeah, if they do that same thing Sabbath since you're the breacher and same with chance
You guys can play above them and then you could put holes on the ceiling and then look down like you just did
Got it. That was beautiful. Thank you. Thank you textbooks. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm going up top
I'm gonna breach down. I'm really not using my spells
Spells? She just thinks spells.
Spells?
Attackers need to find the hostage.
I'm actually a bit surprised that Shroud isn't telling them just run in and grab the hostage.
I honestly don't have faith that either team is experienced enough to stop them after they get the hostage.
Just run in, grab the hostage, and run right out.
Again, of course, that comes down to familiarity with the game and the map,
but it's a very viable strategy here and one that could easily work.
You do have to have, I think, a lot of control when you do something like that
something like that, because when you have the hostage,
if you don't know, I believe you can still shoot
with your pistol, but your primary weapon
is not gonna be available to you,
so sometimes it can be a bit risky.
You're almost putting yourself at a man disadvantage
when you grab the hostage.
In any case, some of these attacks
have been looking really nice for Team Shroud.
Definitely like the way that they were able to approach
that site from a couple different angles, right?
Parker, they had players up above.
They had players coming into the kitchen.
They had players over by stage and front door.
I mean, everywhere that they could have pushed,
they had a body.
So that's kind of where you see that difference of philosophy.
Shroud's team splitting up, not playing as close together,
and finding some good success with it.
Yeah, again, just growth.
I like that both of these teams are continuing to get better,
and this map is giving me overtime vibes already.
I don't know if it's gonna be a victory for Shroud
or Justin's team.
I think it's too early,
but I don't think this is gonna be as clear cut
as some of the other results.
Let's listen in on Justin's team here for round number three.
Let's crush that, actually, Annie's on basement.
So they're in at the stairs with a ramping red right now.
There's a riot shield and somebody walking behind them with what looks like an M4.
Grayson, directly to your left on that soft wall.
If you shoot through that soft wall, you'll kill them right now.
Yes!
That's her!
Good job, good job.
Nice, good job, good job.
Huge!
I blew up a...
Hang this up, hang up, hang up.
Hang up.
Press 5.
Yeah, gotta go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Damn, okay, they're shooting at 1.
They're coming in, they're going to come down the stairs.
Okay, with US friend?
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, don't don't stand there you're gonna get shot at they have
Okay, yeah, there's a shield don't worry about shield guy that whoever this is just they're just blocking. Hey, what are you looking?
She'll guys missing now I lost eyes
I'm not sure what's going on.
Right here.
Right here.
It's like inside.
Oh man, I can't think of any time.
I might have to issue a correction here Jesse about this being one-sided.
They've grabbed the house. Yeah, don't come to me because I sell threads whenever whenever we go there
I told you to see that. There's a prerecorded
He got a noise
I'll make a house. Yeah, but do they just run out like they're chasing it. Yeah. Oh, they can beat that fast. Yeah
so
So when I was calling to
Don't revive on us we actively calls for revive. Sorry that was a really good calm in the wall
Like I'm genuinely impressed. I was insane. Thanks. Yeah, that was sick. Yeah, that was
I don't uh, so if I'm down I actually had a self res which I didn't even know about until
That's for that's for a farmer. Yeah, so
So don't run to me because whenever I got shot I couldn't see them
So they had an angle on me and they shot me in the foot until I died
So I was trying to res because they didn't know that and then I was gonna run out
But then we ended up training places and giving up two kills
so
I don't know.
I had to run away from there.
I died too soon.
Oh, okay.
I didn't know that was you.
Yeah, I...
Because Grayson...
Er, not Grayson.
Somebody died right after me and I thought it was them.
Oh, I don't know if it was right after...
So, I came to your spot to try and rescue you.
And then I ended up sprinting.
Yeah.
But then I died later because...
Yeah, somebody else died.
I didn't see what it was.
I didn't see what it was.
Well, I was dying.
Let's go...
Let's attack from Street.
Street looks like a short angle.
Now they do have cams from the street coming in if I remember right when I was looking at
cams.
But maybe we just try and rush and push quickly.
Yeah, let's rush in, go to the left side, and then work our way.
Again, you wondered why it said 2025 to the bottom left.
It's because we're from the future and all this is pre-recorded chat.
Even the things you're saying are pre-recorded.
You're typing in response to what you're hearing right now.
I already know what you're going to say a year prior.
Again, welcome to the simulation.
That's why I've been saying things
and then they've been happening in the immediate next round.
Do you think I'm just this good at my job?
No, I'm not.
I've just been there already.
Just as I know that some of you are now going to use
your Twitch Prime subs here on Shroud's channel.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
We've already got one incredible work on my end.
I'm glad that they learned that.
And I think they realized that the lack of coordination
from both sides really does allow them to just run
and grab the hostage and get out.
And I think it was peekaboo who actually set it, Jesse,
at the conclusion of the round.
He was like, wow, they can really just run in
and get out there quickly.
Yeah, that's actually why hostage is so imbalanced.
You can just bulge in through that window,
grab the hostage and you're gone.
And that's it.
Yeah, it's gonna be extra important now
that Justin's team can take that philosophy
and learn from it.
Again, we've seen a difference in attacking strategy
with Stroud's team trying to group up
on different parts of the map,
whereas everybody on Justin plays
in this giant death ball,
which you're now seeing entering through that front door.
They are all on cam, which could be devastating to this push as chances, but if they can get to that
Hossage if they can get him out of the building they've got everything they need to win this map and force us to a fifth
I
Want a fifth map. I don't want this fun to be over so early, but you know who does
Trout and his team let's hear what they have to do here for round number four
I'm walking up to the staircase then
He's breaking through, he's breaking through the savage wall right now.
That's outside, savage, you're outside.
Okay yeah, let's just try this.
I just killed someone with a bomb.
They're coming this way, watch, watch, watch.
Mark!
Who smoked us off?
Oh my god!
It's not mine.
On five, on five.
That's a fucking shit.
Chance has an insane flank.
Grenade cross on five.
Right side angle.
He'll find it.
He'll find it.
anyone find it?
anything else?
oh, savics and such
it's uh...
it's a lost
yes!
i don't know how to get up there
you gotta look for the
__________
i know, i'm looking for another __________
he has a perfect flank right there
oh, thank you
You were playing behind the hostage?
Who was that?
It was a man.
Oh my god.
That's genius.
Smart playing man.
Two rounds for a man.
Oh my god.
Opening pinkestream I gotta hear it.
Oh my god that's genius.
You're baiting the hostage.
Oh good.
Are we going kitchen I guess?
Oh that's hilarious.
Oh I love that.
I'd say that's like an amazing thing.
Oh, that's hilarious. Oh, I love that
Yeah, I'd say that's like an amazing. I think the only one that has killed the hostage. Yes, this is
Nice now, man. Now. He's not putting that in the YouTube video. I already know I'll make sure
Well somebody's been practicing their aim, let me put it that way, almost beheading the
hostage but instead wins the round, incredible risk, even greater reward and now Shroudstein
finds themselves on the precipice only 3 minutes and 30 seconds away from championship.
I just feel like on hostage the knowledge level or the practice level is a bit different for shroud
That is now twice in two maps were someone on team. Justin. I think peekaboo twice
Has shot the hostage and lost around for his team so tough chain of events to go through there
I like their push coming in from the master side
They were able to stop Savick's from a strong position thanks to some whiffs shots
Soda popping couldn't get his flank off not knowing the map well enough
They had everything they needed, but sometimes it's those mistakes that will kill you, Parker.
Huge credit to Vay as well, baiting behind that hostage so that they can force that kill to come through from the attackers.
That's the tech, my friend. The tech is that if you play hostage, you sit behind the hostage,
and unless they have, at least like, Plat level aim, they're probably gonna kill the objective and you're gonna win the round.
Now, since they are on match point and championship point, we're gonna ride along with Shroud even longer,
Because we want to hear from their perspective what it sounds like should they win
I
Want to watch that actually I could watch to
I was gonna watch this one
Which one this is amazing. Oh, she's our feet. Okay. Oh my god. Look at this droid. Will that she's playing
I got here. There's one of three shield on three. She's on three. He's coming through. I think behind you, babe
I just marked I just marked five. I
Think she just watches this maybe
My point it was a big shield
Do I love that she's looking through these drone holes it's amazing
Zaryon Savak's are playing together here perfect you try this chance is roaming and then two are in the in the site
Well with the hostage. Oh my god. Yes, we want to do no
Yes, no your movement over here. Nobody emotions. Yeah, we just
That was so close.
You get there.
I never got my pink.
I think they win this.
I think they win this.
They have the main advantage.
Chance is working a big flank.
They're all about to get stuck right here at this choke.
No. Get off.
Popped out.
Oh!
Oh, he's got sniped.
That's fine. That's fine.
Two of them are on my pink.
The red pink one.
J's on cam still, it's good.
They're running out of time.
We're really stacked right now.
Yeah, okay, maybe not.
There's nothing over here.
Okay, so I'll go back to that door.
I'll call it.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
A good hold from Savick.
Is this a defend, right?
40 seconds, yep.
Ooh, they're breaching.
They're breaching.
It's such a backhand.
Did Ambi throw a C4?
He did.
Oh my god, he might get a C4 kill.
Oh, we're just a normal kill. I think they won. Oh, he almost got a C4 kill. Wait, where'd it blow up? I don't understand.
Oh, wow. He just got shot. He almost shot the hostage again. Come here. Come here. Come here.
Oh, my God. I got a gun. Oh, boys. Good job, team. Good job, team. My bad.
Oh, the final kill on Pika, too. Oh, yeah, you realized the potential there, but you had an insane flank.
Obviously, you don't know you didn't you didn't know you had this crazy plank there chance. That was insane
That was really good at the one of you from both teams both teams were breaching both teams are kind of playing verticality
Yes, you guys were like they was looking through it
Well, Jesse we've arrived at the conclusion of the shroud of verses
Justin the siege showdown and our victor is the first name of the two we said
Shroud and his gang of Mary fools have taken the victory and with it
$15,000 over Justin and his own gang of Mary Fools
Yeah, they play so well through this tournament Parker despite all being brand new to Rainbow Six Siege the improvement even through the series and the
Strats that they were coming up with was exactly what we wanted to see out from this tournament
I think the duo of they and soda poppin was probably my favorite part of this team with
Information being fed by they some really good utile being used by her
soda pop and popping off with a lot of those flanks,
especially earlier on in this series,
but late round as well as you saw there,
really good stuff coming out from the guys on Team Stroud.
Then even on Team Justin,
you know, we saw some real improvement from those players.
There were some real ups and downs in this series,
but it seems Stroud who are better today.
Yeah. I mean, when you,
when you have 10 people who've never played this game before,
they're in two main areas, right?
Coaches can only do so much.
The players can only do so much.
The actual maps and play on the game modes,
et cetera, all of that stuff is going to be an unknown.
And I got to say, you know, Justin, obviously we said
we had no hope in your team.
We do apologize because you immediately force fed us
our words by destroying shroud on map number three.
In a way, we kind of want to take some credit for it,
but before Mike gets in here,
talk to us about map number three.
It was the glimmer of hope that your team had
ultimately was not enough,
but take us through how you succeeded on Shelly.
They didn't know that they could red ping on cameras and I had to tell them that and as
soon as they started hopping on cams and actually live pinging people, it made a world of difference.
They were sending out information that I didn't even know they possessed in them.
It was crazy.
Honestly, a magical to watch, really.
That's bound to happen, right?
He pumped, he won.
Yeah, that was, I was on the edge of my seat at the end there because we saw, we saw Soda Poppin inching up to a flank and then he had a perfect one and then he backed up.
And then he had a perfect one and then he backed up and then he took his camera out and I was like, Oh my God.
And then he got smoked by Pika at the end there.
But dude they I am so proud of both teams the fact that to see brand new players in Siege
Use the mechanics of droning cameras and actually breaching walls is
Super impressive like at the last round there Justin's team obviously lost
But that was great and they breached the wall they went through they split both sides
It's is impressive to see how fast they caught on
We were giving them praise for how they attacked on Chalet in particular, you know, what we
saw of that bottom floor of salt, like they obviously won you a couple rounds with those
razor blooms, but with the exception of those traps, the strategic element of Justin's
team was incredible.
You know, when the initial push on that, on that, on the wall into garage failed,
what did they do?
They rotated towards lobby and they decided to do a lobby exit the way that a normal
pro team would do.
So I am a bit annoyed that it was only a best of five.
I would kind of like to see a bit more maps to see how you all would have adjusted.
But, you know, you two seem quite stressed leading the teams as is.
So I'm sure you're probably pretty happy that this one's over in four.
Not really, honestly.
I would be locked in for like another five or so.
I would get really into it.
Oh, yeah.
I was really worried because they started, they were getting better and better as time went on.
Like we had a hot start there with those first two maps.
And then they were starting to pick up.
I was like, Oh God, are they about to heat up?
Because Pika's aim was incredible.
He was hitting such insane shots.
He hit the hostage two times. He was the only person to hit the hostage
I mean still regardless it was not the right decision. There's still good aim, you know
Yeah, it felt like everybody was getting better through the series, you know
And that's kind of the magic of siege. Everybody's constantly improving
There's always something more to learn and get better at and I think we saw a great display of that today
Yeah, yes, we did I totally agree and also pika is my MVP
I don't care what anyone says that guy was insane the callouts plus the shooting. He's going places. I'll tell you what
I'm gonna every single streamer we had here was going places. They all played fantastic
Yeah, I mean I said this you you get you didn't get to hear it if you do go back and rewatch the vaudeau
You're a little bit of a glaze sash here
But basically when we were getting through chalet on map number three
I said if you showed me this footage
I would not believe for a second that these were people who'd never touched the game before like I
Genuinely was impressed and a lot of that credit does go to both of you for the way that you prepared these players the way that you
able to make adjustments mid-round and really hit at the issues that your teams were having,
whether it be the cameras and not red pinging, whether it be a lack of a proper Rome presence,
and how quickly you address that on your end shroud. So both of you, I think, got a lot out
of players who frankly would have been thrown to the wolves without you, and I think you both
deserve a lot of credit for that. And of course, credit goes to the 10 combatants
in the server as well. They were insane. They were great. Yeah, they played great.
It's fun to work with, too.
The question that I have to ask, obviously,
is, uh, what are we doing this again?
So...
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, I think a lot of people really enjoyed that.
I think it was really fun.
When Ubisoft came to us with this idea to do a tournament,
they kind of let us handle it.
And I really wanted to see a new player tournament.
I've always seen professional tournaments.
We've all seen professional tournaments.
But let's see a tournament with people that are good gamers.
but let's throw them into a game that they never played.
So the fact that I was able to get 10 people
and showcase that was great
and I would honestly love to do it again.
He couldn't have picked a harder game, you know?
I don't think it would just,
yeah, throw them right into the meat grinder.
With that being said though, I won't lie.
Every single person on my team had a good time.
They said they had fun.
They just, the learning curve is very high.
And once they get that and they started to learn
they had such a good time.
And they would, I guarantee they'd do it again.
Yeah, I think that was like,
I think my time had a good time as well.
We're just a phone call away, if you need to do this again.
That's how we do it.
I appreciate both of you guys casting and kind of hosting the show while we were doing our
thing.
That was awesome.
I'm excited to watch the clips back because obviously we were in the zone, locked in trying
to coach and watch our teams.
I'm excited to watch it back to see the reactions from you guys.
Yeah.
I mean, everybody wins here, right?
Even the losing team wins.
Everybody had fun.
It seems like there were no hurt feelings, which honestly this is the best outcome
for an event like this.
And of course, to the tens of thousands of people
who are watching, this was quite a spectacle,
but a good one and a great one to go back and rewatch
if you didn't catch the whole VOD.
Final moments of this broadcast
before Mike, we turn it over to you.
Parting thoughts, Mike, obviously it's your stream
so you'll get very final word,
but Justin, final thoughts on this event.
10 out of 10 would do again
and I appreciate all the creators for showing up.
It was a good time.
I love Siege personally.
I always have, I have thousands of hours in the game.
I haven't played it in a bit, but this might be bringing me back. I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah, honestly, it kind of ditto for me. Like a big, I went, I was late to the interview here because I went to all the channels and like thank them 10 times because it was so, in my head, I knew that this kind of MMO style first person shooter crossover would be so fun with Siege.
So I had these guys in mind for a while and the fact that they all said yes was incredible
So big thank you to every single one of you guys for playing if you're watching. Thank you so much
Thank you to entero and Jesse for
Casting thank you to Justin for being the coach and kind of
Commanding that other team and teaching them as well and a big thank you to everybody here watching
I hope everybody had fun. I had a lot of fun. I know our teams had fun
And final thank you goes to Ubisoft for making this thing happen to giving us this opportunity and allowing this tournament to exist.
So thank you so much.
Awesome.
And of course, W is in the chat right here.
I know I speak on behalf of Jesse, but Jesse can speak for himself.
I had a lot of fun. These events are always really enjoyable.
Getting to see communities come together as like the old twitches.
You know, twitch nowadays is everybody's kind of in their silos.
It's it's kind of nice to harken back to the days of you know the late 2010s where
Everybody was in everybody's business on twitch and it felt like a great big community
And of course today seeing world of warcraft and rainbow six come together was really quite wonderful
And I hope the audience felt the same way
Also, we needed I think the crossover we needed it was at least expected but needed. Yeah, it's amazing
That's that's it for us though. We're wrapped up. We're done. I'm ending my stream
I'm not gonna continue it here. So it's just gonna cut off for me. I don't know what Justin's plan is
But yeah, final final. Thank you to the casters final. Thank you to Justin. Thank you to production
Thank you to Ubisoft. Thank you to everyone playing. That was amazing
All right boys
