You've been here here for the last couple of days out here in Santiago.
The crowd has been simply incredible.
That's crazy.
So, we're actually, watch the video of the redraw.
Okay.
Where is that at?
here what it means to have VCT in South America and more importantly what it means to have the VCT here in Chile
It's six minutes long
Damn, I was saying W. Nick bro. Nick fuck up
I was spamming W. Nick yesterday Nick fucked up big time, huh? I don't know what he did wrong, but
Um so Walmart asked redraw. Yeah, this does look pretty funny. This does look pretty funny because they're in like
I don't know. It's just
They're uh, yeah, they just put together like last minute. Oh
Oh the girl placed it wrong way bang. Were you rights? Was it because they didn't go down the list they put it versus?
She did it the same way in rehearsals and no one called it out.
Oh, it's because like she was supposed to for each role go to the next match, but instead
she did versus.
Oh, God.
Chat, would it have been better if they just kept the roles?
But then, nah, nah, that'd be how confusing.
I think it's just redoing it is the right way to redo the draw.
So let's get it like should they have kept the draws and just fix the order so that way there's no redraw
You know what I'm saying or would that have been too complicated
No, like sorry you guys don't understand me I wasn't saying like they should keep the matches as they were
I was saying like they should keep the order of the draws and just fix who should play who instead of redrawing completely
But I don't think that's right
I think this is the right way like since it was fucked up to redo it
We're gonna start with the one and oh teams and we're gonna start or do the oh and one teams
Just as a reminder. It's gonna be one two three four five six seven eight
I've almost say it's right if they do that. I don't think so like
If they were to just I mean I can bring it down to you guys, but
Like if we go into the VOD God, how do I even do that?
Anyway, it's fine. I'm gonna take this up and get started
So I just want to make sure everybody has visibility as we add the teams to reach pool. So first team
You think it's rigged at the redrawing. I think the redraw
Makes it a little weird they should have just come out and been like oh we did the matchups the wrong way
We're gonna keep the draw but fix the order
Yes, that's what I'm saying they placed it the wrong way
But keep the draws and fix the order of the matches, right?
But I don't know but it seems like since the way they looked at it was like since we fucked up
I was just redo the whole thing
But I don't know which solution I feel like keeping the draw is the better solution
But I don't know
Is that put that in the pool?
Redraw makes sense theoretically.
BRX.
They waited too long for a redraw?
Well, I don't know what the point of watching this is. We don't have to watch this.
Continue. We have NRG.
These are the matches.
EDG got G1 and G2 got XLG now?
Was it a G2 versus T1 before?
Or no, it was G2 versus EDG, sorry.
Bro, G2 lucked the fuck out with these draws.
I'm not going to lie, EDG and T1 got fucked.
I mean, EDG got fucked, if anything.
Oh, I guess both of them did.
G2 got lucked out.
And then also NRG, well no, this one I think was hard anyway.
I think the only real winner that came out of this was G2.
Everyone else probably lost.
Well, gentlemates avoiding PRX and playing Liquid instead, they probably won as well.
Was it in gentleman's 3L liquid?
Oh what?
Can I hold it in the middle and just say raided?
They're just raided properly.
You want your filthy coward.
Put them not over raided or under raided.
I'm going to say slightly, slightly over.
Just because everyone's playing them.
There's only one team at the whole tournament that's not playing majority double dualist.
And that team I think looks better than a lot of the squads.
If other people were playing the solo due list, they would probably be losing it's just because energy is so good
They can make it work. I think most teams should just be playing double due list run the neon run the euro
Someone type in the YouTube chat I should be showing on the stream chat
I'm surprised that no one I'm surprised that no one called it out like right away. How many hours past, you know
But I guess that's think about what they want to do
Activation spot and we're gonna see what's gonna happen right now
Because we have a pretty nice activity and they're competing against each other
So he basically said that he really wanted to win. He's really tired, but he wanted to win from his partner
So let's see what happened
I
How incredible this is they have never played against each other energy paper x makes sense
I made it do people are gonna quibble and be like actually they did in 2023. It doesn't count
It doesn't count completely different monsters. Yeah, it really is
I mean the only person on that team was Ethan right?
I mean, it's just
Stars just didn't align because it took NRG the
Mid-year shuffle last year to bounce back and then have the success at the end of the year to get to
All that and it was in the middle of the year the paper X won the tournament and then a champs
Things just never aligned for them to go up against which is why I would consider the top four finish for paper
Rags. Yeah. Yeah, it's just paper eggs dropped into the low bracket too early on and then she went through the top
So like, you know
You know who learned before I was G2 and energy quite familiar with their nemesis G2
We were coming into this one expect
Show and to an extent it was just a YouTube type paper Rags because they just look disgusting gosh
Man the individual moments were amazing in this game
Why do you know YouTube logo?
because they changed their composition here on Corode
and wiped the floor with G2.
It's the ad, but it should be a YouTube logo, I thought.
That's just what you get with paper X
that can reinvent themselves at a moment's notice.
Oh, there we go.
Wait, okay, I fixed it.
How about now?
The weight of the firepower that paper X had in that suit.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, it does work.
It just got a little bit.
All right, YouTube chat.
Congratulations, you're officially on the screen.
You guys have a voice, well, kind of.
Whether it was something's awping
that dominated split defense
device clutches forsaken putting up a million kills on that I mean there's just
even read your chat I mean they don't really talk to me sometimes like what you wanted to pull
from the game like we were building and talking about I think they just recently changed it so
like you're allowed to show you to chat and actually brings this they just recently changed
He's talking about here because Forsaken has the deepest agent pool in the game. I mean, look, I don't know in any
Oh god, he's just taking over as many agents or just characters as this guy can
So this was him in his debut showing Vito in kickoff
And then he comes out on a debut playing Viper over here in Santiago
Both dropping insane performances is Vito look better than people who've been playing a lot of it during kickoff
is
It seems like that is the only agent that he has left to play oh my god
They might just let him do it because
Jing have this is saying the press conference
We wanted to put forsaken on viper because we want to complete his mission of playing every single agent
So maybe you'll see him on gecko in this tournament. Maybe I mean that's it's cap
They played the viper on corrode, but they did end up working really really well
And I think it just shows you that he's capable of playing anything right? He's literally capable of playing whatever you want
That was blocked by the screen.
Get him on the geckos!
Run you buffed mosh!
Run you buffed mosh! Get him on the attack side going crazy!
Oh my god!
Why did the draws change?
They changed who they messed it up, dude.
Oh my god!
What are people saying already as you read it or not?
Please!
You got me!
Oh heaven's me!
I could see the maybe bulldog.
This reminds me of the CS thing where all the players are gathered around that one picture, the meme.
the meme these guys are over here living off the table tennis fantasies with
Mowgli movie movies on the global stage we got to talk about this guy
because you know what I'm talking about you know the infamous paper X no you
found it that fast is actually in the system but I guess it reminds me of
I forgot what this is about though, but it was mean for a while
What was this about? I forget. How'd you find this so fast?
Wait what? This guy's in the scene? You said the scene thing?
Before I even saw his comment, that's crazy. He's actually the same person as me. Oh, I thought the jump boost was big
Oh my god, that's so funny
They were abusing the fuck out of that shit though, I remember
Official taric chat, what's that man? Thanks for letting everyone know
No
Someone in this comment section is saying like why should they just not keep the matchups if they were valid
But I feel like then people are gonna like like people are gonna bring it up forever
What does it mean asterisk nested a little way in this event?
I think redoing the job completely was probably the right
It's not that crazy like it's fun
It's not that crazy
What's been working out well for you
They're working out well for us. It's definitely it's Sun because the Sun there until like 9 10 p.m
Oh, the Sun is not that late and there's my extensions philosophy is still the same mindset also for a permanent keep improving
So so yeah, we just started so let's see what is gonna be in the future
Even birthday
that was that was nice that was
pleasant. I thought it was
going to as plain as birthday
you're lying because I think
he wants him to have the
birthday buff so that when if
he beats him there's no
excuses. There's no excuses
exactly. Hey you had the
buff and what the shame
right now of course there is
an RG you're defending
world champions who have
continued to extend their
global win streak to seven
W's in a row and we were
some truly lights out performances right from this spot it feels like they get a power buff when
they go right we're in for food we're fasting brother we're not we're ordering we're ordering
air for food right now but it was we're sucking the air out of the out of the out of the out of the
stratosphere is that what it is we're sucking the air out of the stratosphere
but they get out of here you know what please thank you brother there was a period of time
DJ K. Thank you. They were getting they were struggling a little bit with the
Sunset's 550, like around there. And so I was thinking about it today, like is that
really gonna happen with PaperX? Funnily enough, PaperX have actually been away from a lot of those
like mega-heavy died. So I don't know, for NRG we've seen them already lose to
like a G2 domestically, but again that's more of the like neon and the
incredible pace. The Sunset in Chile around 830, that's nuts.
And not just would you like that if the sunset at 830?
I would love it.
I hate when it gets dark, but I don't know if 830 is too late.
Not.
I think that's perfect, bro.
Sunset 830 every day, lock it in.
Do you feel like that?
That would be awesome.
That double initiator really counters well against.
I'm reading YouTube chat.
No, I'm reading.
I'm reading.
Be in the past for Pay Per X versus how Pay Per X is now.
The game is useful.
The Odin is super useful.
I think those are the kind of tools
that you want to be relying on.
But also you got to remember energy are playing like an anti-metre at the moment. They're not playing what everybody else is
So, you know, I wasn't really reading out. What do you want from this?
Yeah, truly is
I didn't hit the gym today. I'm gonna hit the gym before I eat
To walk on the stage actually I'm looking chopped
I'm telling you my haircut's nice
I was like 10, everyone was screaming, whistling.
I got a haircut.
I got a haircut a couple days ago, a few days ago.
I'm out of the top tells that you keep talking about.
Everyone's like rooting for us, which I haven't had, I think, ever before.
Thank you guys for supporting us.
It's a bumpy ride, but playing clear is it his birthday?
We made it, and we're going to keep on trying our best to win.
everyone happy birthday Appling clears.
in the chat.
What did my barber do for a living?
He's a farmer.
Fireman has really been a
happy birthday for a lot of these players
just because it's so different.
Hold on,
pump it up.
You've got to pump it up.
Happy birthday.
Plink Pose you've got to
pump it up.
Happy birthday.
Plink.
Pressure as it mounts.
I do think if you were to
teal us though,
crowd noise sorted by teams paper X number one right I mean they had a lot of
fun loud but also EDG weren't like winning as much where is when paper X
would going nuts yeah I was losing my effort if I cheer for NRG that was
actually gaining a lot of that I feel like I have more of a relationship with
the energy guys the IGL of NRG community put me into the ground for
What's up?
Jen here with birthday boy Ethan of energy.
Now, happy birthday Ethan.
Happy birthday Ethan as well.
Thank you, you're having the same birthday as Ethan.
Just got to beat paper X and we'll figure it out from there.
Okay, well we got something for you for your birthday.
Kick.
Music please.
Ooh, happy birthday in Spanish.
I
Feel I do that. I personally I
Hate being some happy birthday like I mean one time is fine. It's fine one time is fine. I
Don't hate it, but thank you. It's just like a lot of attention, you know, it's just like it's just like
There is nothing more awkward than having to stand there
They're waiting awkwardly. Yes. Yes. Yes, exactly
This is happening to me right now.
Ethan's calling though is super, super different.
What is that, playing with the slides?
So far, they played against the GPs.
Oh yeah, with the slides.
Okay, hold on.
Who?
Okay, we're pulling up the slides for today.
NRG and PRX.
They don't like playing against them.
Wait, NRG and PRX.
We already did NRG and PRX?
We already did PRX, I think.
They're running and making you unsure
of where they're gonna pivot.
So I think that's where Ethan really has to lean into it.
Make PaperX very uncomfortable,
force them to push for info
and catch them as they make mistakes.
We're going to jump to the energy slide.
We'll do an energy slide.
Okay, it's PRX.
Can we do PRX?
We do this.
It's liquid.
What the hell?
Hold on.
Where's NRG?
All right, we'll do one NRG slide before the match starts.
NRG slide brought to you by Alto.
I've been following since MV wants to Berlin then got picked up by Optic 2021
Why also should co-stream NRG with Terrik the co-stream part?
I don't know for I don't know right now. It's up in the air right now. Let's see right now. We're just viewing the slides
What the hell why you yes you Chudder should root for NRG they reverse swept the goat of Valorant
It's as bass argue with a wall Chudder
Everyone wants a little drama and energy has nothing but drama
They faced some struggle in the middle of kickoff, but they found their stride and are going to brutally frame mug everyone at Santiago
Boncar is the best coach on anti-triangular and plus they want champs by the way highest clutch percentage scuba
Boncar cheering the boys
Classic Venus. I don't know what this is. We got some ducks and then that's Mada and
Kiko
Why taric should pick me over the other NRG fans and solidarity with psalms replacement Kiko
I beat some in a 1v1 on stream. Yes. That was me watch the postal video for proof
I did this to get rid of Som's hate watch vibes and usher in this new era of NRG win.
What is happening right here?
Dude, I don't know what Shanks is doing to Som.
I
Was a screenshot of him playing the one you won? All right, so beside wait skirmish
Okay, well fire
Info on energy there
All I got all I got from that not gonna lie that also beats time in a 1v1. That's the only thing I got out of that
What's the skirmish for right now
Oh
Wait a minute can divide bounce back big opportunity this could be devastating for the mental of the vibe
Another
our side winner I'm curious to see how this is for our teammate team B in fact we do have our
mats picks and bands so let's go ahead check that out see whatever plan
we are starting match selection for energy against prx because both teams are 1-0 you
guys played skirmish to deciding who will have priority on match choosing so energy one energy
start choosing to be team A or team B. Team B. So energy team B, PRX team A, PRX starts
running a map. We ban Abyss. Abyss, ban 4 energy. Ban bind. Bind, map pick for PRX.
Oh shit, they're already done for split? Split, site on split for energy. They look
get on split to this area right?
Your bunker is like an absolute unit no?
Lucky he's mugging in his veto
Go Sen
Thoughts on the dog shit, redraw?
Less than four energy you have reason haven't
Then breeze then breeze so havens. I mean, yeah
It's shitty, but I don't know what are you gonna do?
I
Think it's fine. I mean they fucked up they drew. I mean, it's shitty, but it's what it is
instantly picked Pearl there as soon as it was available.
Ibonka was immediately on that.
What did I tell you?
Well, I think it's unusual to begin with,
because what we saw most recently from PaperX and Pearl
was that Forsaken was debuting the Veto, right?
And the Veto is amazing into double-initiated comms,
stuff like the Sova Tejo Com that NRG plays.
But I think what NRG are reading into is,
they ran into the Veto previously,
got smoked by G2 on that map, 13-3,
but then they went, watched the Vods,
learn from that destroyed hundred thieves 13 three actually
W announces by the eggman reversal the other way so I think for sake of bonka
Sorry, it's not the veto's happened at 10 p.m. The redraw. I don't know why it's so long to be the redraw
I'm surprised that
I mean bang in the chat notice they fucked up right away
We can put the bar bang was like one thing about being right away. They messed up because both these teams are undefeated on that map
Yeah
I thought it was a different way to do it. Yo, what do you chat?
It would have been smart for them to just like sweep it under the rug
Just keep doing the rest of the draws that way. They're like they messed up. They're like, okay
We're changing the format on the fly
No one knows anything wrong
Just keep this for that
thing it wasn't that they were running for quite a while and now it's now we're not as a trap
potentially later on in the tournament but as we're playing it I knew we could have redrawn the
same way what I like about talking like they could have ended up with the same results yeah
I don't know I think it's fine I don't think it's that big of a deal I mean the city that took so
long for the redraw like four hours later to know your opponent that is a long time
Generally, we must all do that. This is like I've seen way worse shit in CS
The coach is going at it. Yeah, no two excellent coaches who have led their teams to
Championship so why was there a redraw because they messed up the way they did it
Now they messed up the order card fanpone earlier. We asked you beautiful people which team you think is making it to play
Oh, wow
Oh
Okay
Walk out tough to call both of our games today. Yeah, I would still favor paper X, you know
We have a little time I want to see there. Okay, there you go. And why it's getting cooked on here with Jenny
Wow, I really thought more people would go for NRG
NRG reasonable. It's reasonable to go out in either direction. I think here
But also energy are a big prep team and how many hours of play out to prep for paper X
They really turn G2 into really a paste
I feel like it's tough to not believe of course shout out to anis or a lad am colleague hyping up the crowd
killing it damage versus liquid don't make real liquid in the playoffs right we
are about to witness two incredible squad masters champions facing off
against world champions it's now time to start day three of masters Santiago
Oh, they didn't even play verse liquid in playoffs, never mind.
Never mind.
Okay, here we go. What's happening? I think the music's not on. It's all good.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh
This one they don't have a crowd mic this time.
It's not as high as without the crowd mic.
Now they just look crazy walking out like this.
Where's the crowd mic?
Dwork!
Dwork!
Dwork!
Dwork!
It's Mike's fault I think he nailed it.
I had fusions off.
history of Valorant but those guys right there, PaperX have been here since the absolute beginning.
They understand what it takes to win in these pressure-
It is crazy that we got Paris' NRG after the redraw. That part's crazy.
It's not that unlikely, but it's like Riot's like, no, no, no, we don't like these match-ups.
Let's go for this.
start off this day I think if we go the distance to Haven that will be a all
series have been to all sides but I think today is gonna be the day we got
three maps on both that's my prediction to that we got something we got three
maps on both don't know what that's gonna be but this split is very
fascinating because I don't feel comfortable counting out NRG in any of
these circumstances also I think what do you guys think was the best match so far
I
Yeah, maybe see one like it was
I would put them in the same bucket, but yeah
A lot on that young man right there, too
That's Kiko joining the team coming into the season replacing the big shoes of some an incredible player
And Kiko fit in perfectly and since then has continued to show why he has been so
For that man right there
Ethan the IGL as he thinks about what it's going to take for him to be able to march his team to victory
in the playoffs. Stop in the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth time that Ethan has played in front of a crowd like this compared to everyone else on stage. This is bread and butter, man.
I'm looking at Ethan as well when things get to them attacking into the something...
How old is Ethan now? Is he probably like 28 or 27? No. He might still be young, low key. He went pro when he was like 6'2".
Yeah, PaperX, there's something up, was Ethan alive on defensive setups.
turning 20
25 turning 26 today
Even when probably
Yeah, you have to be able to throw in a couple of haymakers to knock them back down on an eco
That is where that double initiator can pay off though having the extra drones to be able to force him off some of these off-line
Double initiator?
Oh, no double initiator.
Vice, they changed it up.
If we go back to that anti-meta
Double controller
Double controller? I don't see a double initiator, am I tweaking?
Brock vice?
Brock vice? Okay.
We are cooking here.
He was playing that last year on Lotus if I remember correctly and pulling up some crazy numbers
Is there a whole town a hot minute though? This is a brand new idea from NRG from what we can tell
I mean again, you still got that kind of solo jewelist
Identity to it, but opting much more in the sense is I mean presumably just to have a slower approach to the map
But the way like Jones actually might be a struggle
Yeah, that might be a problem because something was taking G2's launch money with the
Man alright folks. We're all locked in and ready to go
We're gonna kick off the day then pansy and Hyde Park have fun
Yeah, Park. Yeah, I think we will with this
We go over go over go a match up here high caliber teams both winning teams
I feel like this is just a touch on form here for both
Yeah, both closing to all of them. Just to come in here the composition change is
Absolutely, what you want to see? Oh, yeah, especially given pay prex is opening performance versus teaching
I love the energy coming into the match really curious to see what they put up behind this
It's obviously something you're anticipating as the perfect recipe to stop paper X from getting the ball rolling
Paper X could be starting out on the defending side force energy on the attack. This is paper X's choice
Oh, the vice already lit up a man who's put my one into the stack mid though explosive
dip of the spear
Be warded away from middle for now. Okay, everyone backs up and arms length. Oh, oh, oh
Hello?
Yeah.
That mirror here.
He's a shorty.
Oh, things going aggro.
That is a crazy purse.
You have to fight forward gets isolated and falls it leaves in the area. Oh, is you know run through?
3v5 there's a lace-length very very meticulous
Kiko's checking wow
Frenzy now the precious back on
They go to check on that
How do they know?
Oh my god, I think you killed him you could have won
the time to play with but he will just slip away I mean this is just so
ballsy for men I need to sit behind the wall behind the smoke
no they get paid breaks gonna not necessarily kicking them so they don't
go right honestly even hard he almost got played too oh my god oh my god out of
It's not break. Oh
Five-man walk mid anti-eco high note for this paper X side, but four seconds alone
You might get caught here isn't expected. Oh the timing is nuts the timing on him turning around and Joe spotting is insane
like the wind but we've seen
the movement
um
energy will at least
comfortably hit once coming in
and that is my curiosity
what does eco mean
and uh means like uh
you're basically saving money in econ
means you're not buying
to start playing with
we noted here
probably just gonna sit back and
support energy to come forward hunting
This old progress but one thing key to know obviously where they've really ran away with split was that five to ten seconds after the spike
Sponsor wasn't are you supposed to play liquid? Yeah, there's a redraw
That flood that's coming through is certainly something I've got my eye on. He's drawing a heart. He's drawing a heart
Wait, that's not a heart. What is that?
And this is a rare sound. Tell me what you're thinking.
You're playing along at home. You wouldn't say don't love a safe. Not the biggest fan. No, it makes sense in this.
But it's Ritzy's paper X on the left.
Show me what he drew, man
That's smart, you guys are a pro?
He's got you a pro?
He said you
Terriga's low quality bro, what's low quality? It's just you man, tear it up on your end.
Quality here is fine
Alright, here we go, bonus
the purchase nicely actually well I'll say the weakest link in terms of inventory but certainly not elsewhere
oh my god yeah I tell you we gotta kill a low key
keep up look at what's taking he's chilling
he's gonna get chilling he's gonna walk through oh my god oh my god
What a play what a play what a freaking play this is a nice wall
Can't keep going
Well, okay, he's in the clear market
He probably overplayed it
He's still so good. He's still so good for what he did shut down. So he's still so good for what he did
Wow
Yeah, something's up has now been seen as well
They've seen him they can pretty put this together and I do feel going back to be very quick
Forcing the issue and right now they are manipulating. Oh my god
They're stacked on a they have a judge on the vibe. Yeah
What a mid-round
Was planning here is the punch but
Judging an off way to here. There's no way paper. It's gonna save right. Yeah
bonus converted for an RGU
We like this so far because I think this map a lot of us were seeing sitting quite well actually the paper
It's a super early but does every house are we at least seeing some indicators the energy are prepared right obviously first
Change I think we're yeah when we talk about obviously. Oh, yeah, you guys are right for thinking good TV the wall
We didn't have it. This is the sort of round. I mean I like how he like
Cleared that angle immediately after running through finding these
But he had no TPSU.
But if he did TP the wall, um, hypothetically if he had it, I think Scuba still kills him.
Maybe, I don't know.
Actually who knows.
But yeah, he didn't have it, so.
Arguably in hindsight, he definitely overplayed his hands.
He could have just held the wall, but I don't blame him for doing this.
I mean he was five before I mean
This is killed by school was nuts
Yeah
Yeah, the first shot on school bus
I'm gonna kill them
Oh
What the hell is this? What's going on with this scuba? What's going on with this scuba bro, this ramp?
Oh. The good son, good son. Jin's flanking. Oh my god, double flanking.
What is this level of empathy is having? Who put that SMG?
Not the round you'd expect him to run away with. Oh my god. Pay for X.
Oh my god, Jin just ran up the ramp. After getting the second kill, we have to get in and behind NRG.
The sort of things that they like to do is to send it
I'm a coddisher for PiberX
He runs through that with a Spectre
Yeah, 3k with a Spectre
Mother how do you get the second kill?
That's huge
People are late ground planch men are doing up on something still
Hopping be men. That's the place change. We see oh god
Tb to where so brave. Yeah
And they've forced back the operator on the initial line at least I'm wondering where that next layer is because again
He wasn't an overly impressive. No, it's too late. He wasn't really forcing fights too far
This time he seems a little bit more active on it
And again, it is a little harder to pin down a neon in terms of these early timings will not break up
Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god, mother
Greet something with a smart a lot of a lot of really well big punish. Ask is just to keep something underheal
He is doing that very well
Get making it hard to find out. Yeah, the operator kind of played in a little bit sure
But again, this is impressive stuff the paper exit. This is something. I want to see how they learn on the fly with
I just went towards main
And that's gonna be a recheck and a really clear operator to say can then pick it up the
We're thinking stealing her right now
They're walking into A but there's two here. Jing has an A'd. Off angle for NB.
Ooh, fruity. Wow, wow.
Well done.
20 seconds, no spike.
Damn, NB.
Damn, brother, he's standing.
Oh god, I didn't know he spoke right back on the willingness to refight. Oh my god. That's what I do
Yeah, he's forsaken going forwards there
It's pretty my god, I was speaking I was gonna see my camera here. It's fine
I think now paper is probably the better understanding of where mothers
The one side then something's where all is funded, bro. Yeah, don't all by his team
court just ahead of pivoting into a
Can I make the qualities to picture?
Yeah.
I'm 1440.
Jaguil 1080 instead?
Oh, okay.
Something's op-ing A now.
Well, bugging from very far back.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. They didn't know the gap. Oh god. They're being punished. Oh god. Rock it from Jing.
Oh
They know they've got them dead to rights energy
Shit what around
is that deeper exploration here matters on such a deep run and something is still
he didn't got caught running in I don't know if like yeah obviously didn't have a
second smoke but that paranoia should have come in sooner but I guess they didn't
know like if they paranoia before Ethan runs through then he doesn't die and
this round could be different right and then the oak follows up clear as
house that'll be replay pretty far away from it but still it is where it is
three to three I'm thoroughly impressed with paperix I think it all of us
If Omen had a smoke and he didn't smoke it, that's a different story.
Oh, it's because Omen smokes heaven, TP site, and then I feel like he should have smoked
spawn or paranoia after what he did.
Maybe he didn't have it yet?
I don't know.
He might not have had it yet, but how do you paranoia a second smitter?
Then it could have been different.
plus energy have to go to you can see it's it's conditional right where that's
look after you can die I see a late this previous round not being a great
example it's normal out here but yeah I would get concerned really in how deep
the options are on that plan B plan C plan D potentially if they can't get
over this first hurdle comfortably that's not necessarily not conceding
first you also had an orb yeah yeah there's a couple things they could have
them. Divine 0-1 after 6 rounds. That's like crazy stat line, I'm not gonna lie. 0-1 is
crazy 6 rounds in. Oh my god, he's in the molly. He's in the molly. That's not a matter.
Oh my god
Three one now
In the Viper Molly he kills Mada that is chalk
I feel like Mata was like, his cushion here was nuts, but maybe Mata was not hitting enemy?
Dubai, nice shot.
Ah, insane shots, insane shots.
Yeah, actually, I'm not gonna lie, this is what I played on, right?
I'm some weird shit, dude.
I'm some weird shit, this is what I played on while watching this.
Foul, full buy.
Full buy for Eden.
He got Sky.
Oh my god, the span?
The span?
Val to anti-G? What the hell is that?
Clare?
Double push to main.
Uh oh.
Brock.
Brock may be tested soon.
Oh wow.
I think you go as well. Yeah, I don't think it's quite for Ethan. The modern needs to be on red alert here
Something's no about the flame the main pressure, but you're right. He doesn't know the clock is taking
That's
And Kiko can play the time now. He can be
Wow!
Wow!
The double champ, the two times!
I ain't talking about that to business max.
The two times!
Oh, Lee!
What a kill from Brock.
In season three kill for Ethan, he brought it back.
Birthday buff is real.
That's how it is
It was the other kill to really open up the access from heaven effective. Hi for up
So full buys now I need to turn the audio up low key
Hold
I'm not even in the server. I'm scared about it
Set up
Close towards that B main entrance operator is in effect
I think they probably feel as if they've done enough work in terms of slowing NRG down at least on these early info probes.
Speaking of...
Oh my god, what a gap.
That's the attacker wall, by the way. That's the attacker wall.
Absolutely.
Oh my...
Wait, watching P.
The, uh, in-b decides now's the time, but he's made a bit of a mess of it.
He's not as clean as he'd like. He still gets one. That's great.
He's still gonna be in a problem position. They come back a while!
Got another, and he lives.
Oh, dear Ethan, you're in danger.
Oh, my God. He had one HP, and he could have just got away.
He may have overstayed his visit, but he still did work.
Jin did not have to die this round. This is a weird ground for PRX, in that sense.
Dunno why they got to clear him off.
Devise base in the angle.
This is a big fight here. A big fight here.
They're going ropes there.
Oh, wow. Now he's aware of ropes.
He's so aware.
He's worried about screens now. 12 seconds, by the way.
I spotted him.
He's a big girl in the earlys.
No.
Oh my god
No way, you got baited by thinking you need to push forward. They're both low and something has an ops. Oh god. What a round.
Really flipping this on his head HP bars as well. Oh my god. Oh my god
He'll hear a constellation on to bought this operation. Wow
That was a big TV 30
So many close rounds so many close rounds might have found that was so good
I think PRX messed up in this beginning of the rounds jing did not have to die and envy could have got out after
We got to say as well. He's had a rough start. I think you've sat on like one to six until this round
Mystery
Big rounds huge 3k. Oh
My god to seal the deal here
Of course a time out here from paper. We should discuss the other through the room right something
What about the board 2 and 6 and like I said the operator sure
He's got some respect early on but the value beyond that certainly left wanting more
And I think since that 8th and 9th round energy have really figured out how they want to
Mostly more it to agree play around it and they found value in it
They're getting to better post plans them scrap out still never gonna get a clean game against paper x these guys will fight you with
Whatever they have there's never ease or comfort
This is a elimination match?
Uh, no.
This is a 1-0 match.
Winner goes to playoffs.
Loser has another chance to qualify.
Thank you, Baguio.
and give us a rent stop plan
No, I don't think you could have I don't think you could have from that angle
It's a full investment back here
Oh my god damage they have ropes
Forsaken's tasting B-man.
Judge here.
What?
That's a one shot, Judge Blum!
Did anyone stop this man?
The paranoia, the only thing that really slowed him down,
but he doesn't want to back away.
Wow!
Forsaken's a beast.
Forsaken's a straight up beast.
And Kiko!
I wouldn't want to go in there.
Forsaken is on a heater today.
Oh my god, he's getting flanked by the way.
Look who's coming in B.
Wow.
Made it in the end paper.
We're sitting at the 3k B9 and the one pump and ropes the one pump from that range is just
All the flash miss house, how does the flash not blinds did not turn the flash bug
The smoke was threw up on the flash pop the sign is upside down
They didn't go far enough, but we saw it on the screen.
They didn't flash.
He turned? They didn't blind him at all.
It was a zero flash.
It's what happens though.
What's up here?
Oh my God.
Oh my God, what's he doing right now?
Oh God, they're all here, they're all here.
What?!
What was that?
Oh my god, that was a plane scene.
That patient is not there.
Oh my god.
What a clear by Brock.
I'm gonna lurk by Maka.
See how he killed my Kiko there as well.
Damn, that's a huge round.
That's a huge round. Oh my god. Oh my god
These glasses almost blow up his head
What
We put a wall there
Well done by forsaken but he's on top of the wall
play
It's like he knows gonna
We have to be going up top
That is
Holy shit
In the alone
He just know the down his own he knows
This round might be with him and we're five bullets to play this still so they know they know
Game mistakes on this one something to pop out of the old
Does he get the chance at it
yet pops it in beginning closer you got your but not fade 15 seconds by the way
he's got a move quick he's gonna cross fire can he locate one a tough task he
spots it please in between a rock and a hot place in me the hard spot
but here on again on the A site I mean put him in a corner and he delivers
sensational number six here and tie things up on the half you can't ask for
much more from that guy no absolute dreamy work good god got me locked in
over six to six we have an incredible game on our hands
I
That's a good one. Oh, that's definitely a defender wall for sure there in through
And this game is so back and forth Wow
So back and forth. That's a great app. That's a great app
Oh
Damn I so damn paid
You hear this interview
That's singing happy birthday no, yeah
We did have any ideas happening
Ethan has no idea, he's a real idea
Happy birthday Ethan, nice
He's like what's happening out there those guys seem real happy
He didn't turn up his white noise.
He was like the crowd's getting pretty loud.
Let me turn my white noise up.
And a valuable lesson, Michael, in never telling anyone
he's fortunate or a bad thing.
Very, very nice.
The reception here for Ethan
Awesome, but he's got his work cut out right you got a tough birthday and certainly not a day off
No, six apiece right and it feels like we've just lived through a lifetime in this game a brilliant start
Completely brutal reaction from paper X just shutting it all down
But then a bit of a tussle towards the end second half though
We start see how well brought can handle playing this vice as well. Yeah, we go
I know we didn't see two of the examples while looking for the first half here, but certainly the second he becomes the pivotal anchor
in terms of
the unstoppable force
Feel as if it's off here eating. Ooh, 1-3-1 for NRG
There's a Molly here and a Flash
Um, good luck double flank. They know it's a now
No one's going mean
Oh my god, oh my god jump scare
Double flank
It's gonna have players towards it paper X device thing haven't feel so secure here
Kills not gonna be happening or be three as they all get left on site here. No, I am forsaken see it
They choose to go aggressive. It's one way
My god
down to a 2v2, PaperX come into their own, keep them trying to shoulder the corner, and
then for Seiya, take them out of the inflation, and it's nothing to do with it, but die, put
it on G, and they try to kill you.
3k for 4 seiya, that's 7 kills across both pistols here on 6th.
6th out.
One small from PaperX.
Never tell me the odds this team man.
this one way just ultimately energy is devised on the way back in from ramp
that's a big one.
NRG are they probably in a position to completely sweep that round
shadows
back towards A here but fortunately wrong place wrong time
yeah so this should be comfy enough not a single upgrade inside so
It's just plus six coming out and uh luckily paper it's not EDG so this should be okay.
Let's see if they can dial this mic here I think I'm gonna push spawn.
Yes.
It's like Bob coming through.
Oh gee he's starting to funnel back in.
Something is three and nine is he?
Damn.
Not gonna be allowed to...
Also Skubo's three and eleven?
It's the same way that...
What?
...the breaks did.
You're fouled already letting him know.
I mean when you see Jing and something on the X-ray it's somebody...
The crowd's shilling.
Oh God!
Something, something knows they're all there. He wants the Ecos.
Something wants these Ecos bad.
Oh my God.
What a flash!
Yo, can they win the round?
Oh my God, they did a lot of damage.
Wow.
That was great, they have to re-invest 40, they don't get a bonus.
Alice Cam now? Yeah.
That's for him control paranoia
Oh my god flash
I think I'm gonna be aggress.
Unfortunately, at least walk on an island and they're wrapping through vents.
Total control towards ramp here.
Bota's recurring.
Boss alone.
Unfortunately, this is sort of the situation we're in.
I mean, what do you do?
Cool, if you can find one, it would be great.
I don't know.
Boss alone
It's gonna be a late flank
Brock needs to delay them as long as you can but he's gonna find some spawn
a little further ahead. Now we smoked off though.
This angle is not fun for you in the waiting. Wait. The damage. Oh, the wind. Dave Whitt.
Dave Whitt. Dave Whitt.
Dave Whitt had.
Dead to right there.
Two before, yeah.
Two before.
Ridiculous.
models are still there too oh my god what arounds what arounds by moda I mean
Ankyco too to be honest
so sharp a little bit of a slip yeah every day of the week every day yeah
Envy's also playing well five back will be awkward here because of the damage
done previously they're buying back into this yeah but a weird buy three
rifles she was in the new axel mouse interesting
they didn't expect an owl on
at 124 they now get command this map change tempo if they wish potentially
I have that visa there's a lot of bodies on this b-side
we're heading to towards heaven still keep moving towards site well he's backing away from pillar now
conscious that we're going to be pressure coming here
what happened what happened what happened I didn't see it I missed it
I'm going to cut some sidelines and still catch the cross too.
That's freaky.
Now it's a good time for paper X honestly.
Check back in when Kiko's got another close to following this.
Oh, they're regressing.
Very late exploration.
No, she was going close to what a judge.
Oh my God.
Scuba.
That's got my interest.
Paper X got to clear that something.
Does look.
Does look.
Does look.
Does look.
Can you do any damage?
Oh my god jumping through each other. They jump into each other.
We're bringing them back down to reality
Holy shit, Seekal
Holy shit
I don't know what happened right there
Yeah, they're coming to each other
Something was walking out this
looking for a signal to jump again
What the freak was that?
Like a random shriek bullet hit him in the head
No joke
Where was something going?
the bottom wasn't good it's a PRX last pause and they're broke that guy's
doing his best I got definitely gambled on PRX you tell me why not I got put
$200 on paper X when this maps I can tell by the way he's just playing
face like a hundred percent place the best like oh come on brother now you
don't want to shoot back
again it looks fine on this fight so I don't think he's been the answer
everything but it's good with pie ready it's oh my god it was in the
I've been ready to be baked.
Holy shit.
He's in my cusp of five.
Why no score show during timeout?
You can see the, oh the score of the game, yeah, I don't know why.
The score of the game I think is 10-7 or 10-7?
power in effect yeah they should show the score on that screen
it's a lot harder in that regard but as it stands I don't know which way it's
energy I don't think I was 10-7 but everything can change in a blink of an
eye now the boy coming in here what's shaky at best
we have a bucky but it's paper x oh no it's a day bro
I don't know how I got 10-7, hold on, too.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
1xp?
Yo, he was a zygobald.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
1xp?
Yo, he was a zygobald.
Now this
That's a bit too far even for me notorious liar, obviously
89 energy are up in the lead if we shot my mother session
I'll praise her up the martyrs. Well, that's something now. We can start
You do have that which for him buy back in place for paid breaks to they're obviously on a
Potentially
As they keep those the seat being polar opposite side of it. Yeah, both of them in CP. Get me the hell away
Okay, nine up. They got the round with that. I'm out
But we do the face don't know if you could use them
So they don't know if you can smoke it out. It might just be again the jing heading straight
Right off the rip a lot of times here for an RG for safe and options
What's heaven powers for a key?
Ethan and it's getting messy now. It's fun. What's heaven. They are wrapping seat
Oh my god
Wow
Wait for anyone to swing from ramping up there
to a backup
Starts to look for his first potential trying to bait envy into the swing
It was the ice cold and there it is and there it goes to buy to shut down the account
But I want to highlight something here my hand and paper
Whatever you want it's controlled chaos the theory of how they're approaching that ascii
I'm just with someone like brought out there. Yeah, I'm just like super separated
Even I get the second third layer here. He's got no idea
That's all I think it was big the situation where you see a couple of pay-per-explains
Potentially it starts with overheating. Yeah, it's refined as composed
And that initial flurry of chaos and then they're able to slow things down be a little more and RG last pause
I believe
Just for me. It's lovely seeing that intention, right?
It's not like that while passing is insane. I can't lie. Yeah
Also, wait, I just realized the Sun sets in Chile at 830. That's a long ass fast. I'm not gonna lie
His class is like 18 hours
Yeah
Well, I imagine the sunrise is not like three or four, right?
We're thinking 23 and 12. Yeah, he's having a game in an MV
I think it's not repeat support and that was always the thing that felt like kind of created that
Conversation about you know the princes without their throne doesn't need to fast while traveling that is it's that is true
Like while you're traveling. I think there is that
But people saying he is fasting usually I fasted as well, but here with a little bit of an event
But I don't know
I have no idea either way some serious if he is
They've got a really good IGL great coaching stuff and very good at APM. Oh, it's not that bad
If he wakes up early and has breakfast, it's not bad for now. It is the forsaken show a little that's not bad
I'm gonna serve me up there in my mind, but still it is that all that's working
So go back through it is just gonna be a go for RG here
Everything else is classics. I think a shorty play. Yeah, very little invested here for an RG
My fasting, yeah
I wish the match is looking sooner earlier so I could uh caffeinate before the game
during breakfast but alas gave five man back towards a
I have to fight.
Towards eight.
Already even a brawk preemptively rotating.
And no info.
Oh, they have the wrong read.
PRX up 11-9 off of this.
Which player is fasting?
The Vi's fasting and also, um, there's another player fasting.
Chat was saying, uh, who was it?
So, all good for now.
Max, divine max.
The penny will have dropped for NRG.
I'd say the long old rotate back.
This is the same force they get in that place, CS now.
Nobody pushing towards spawn here.
And assist being towards ramp.
I've done three-day water fast.
That's just gonna try.
I forget if it was like that.
I've done the water fast.
This is like outside of Ramadan just to try it out.
I was reading like this is really good for you. It's crazy. I think I did like two and a half days. I forget how long
Might have been
We go for you though, I mean I can't say for sure, but there's some research on it. I don't know. I'll just do your own research
Something
Yeah, a lot of old coming on they have jingle coming up your world coming up
Actually scary times
That goes you I went to the gym yesterday
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That's first
close that
See if something gets himself one
or short
Up on Mata Trul, let's see it
Fast A hit
Oh my god he's lit
Barely got away, that's the race rocker
gone
Something's looking mid
This lurk kill is big if you get scuba somehow it's gonna open up the map so much
Five you three now for seconds flanking through ropes, but I think scuba knows he gave it up scuba smart play to back up
Now he's just holding male control
He knows they can have ropes
He looks aware
Walking through main
Look at me. He's out. He's out
Oh, they know Brock's looking there mind
Flash from Brock before he died
keep a control of the tempo
Ethan going toe to toe
in the hoodie round to find that opener
slow things down
who do I want to win the whole thing?
I'm down for a massive underdog
like biggest surprise possible
or Americas
that's what I go for
and I guess feria would be that
both of those
so I go feria
I'm down for a feria
I'm down for a feria
I'm down for a feria, but I'm also open to like an energy to my G2. Hey watches
I'm a fan, but I'm becoming a fan. Don't tell Rob. They're fun to watch
Oh my god, he's got PRX all over
I
Not once a way I kind of missed some of that rounds. They kind of ran it down, right? I don't run down mid. I don't know
They might even feeling themselves too much
Edging the temptation
I'm gonna play here.
The start around felt really off-kilter.
I don't know what happened.
I think Marley has that sound cue from something.
He's like, okay, but it can't somebody that's...
He wants to beat the Yorawas, I guess.
He wants to beat before the Yorawas saw him.
I think he's overplayed his hand a little bit.
Something actually opening this up.
That's what I'm guessing.
Entirely.
I don't account.
It's a frustrating one for them to get to 12-1 as well for NRG.
You felt those...
They don't know when Sun plays?
playing on March 5th. First match on March 5th. My pro old mid. Faked Omen ult. Faked
the TP this time. But I think Mada knows. I think Mada knows it was fake. I think he
heard the cancel. Right? We know. He doesn't know. He's not certain. Okay.
About this father though he can cover a lot of ground. Yeah, he's fast
Complimenting with an RG though. They've been kind of cutting the B-pop layer to the site hits really nicely
Oh
Paranoia though something's been he could have paranoid off of that
Haven't had that same B-pop
Ethan's nearby, but they're actually going back
I feel like the vibe is gonna walk through the Vipers pit at some point
All the time is terrible for Mada. Oh my it's a masterclass. It's an absolute masterclass on a PRX.
Oh god, they got work so hard. What a round.
I
Guess the worst on my energy was that mid rounds low key this round is got outplayed but the mid round they kind of threw it away a little bit
They kind of threw it away a little bit on that round.
Who's map pick?
That was PRX map pick.
Next map is Perl by NRG.
Alright, we're on break here and let's take a look at the stats.
We're staking top dragon with 24 slower game for scuba and something
plus 10 in the bus 10 for sakin
I feel like both teams make it a playoffs like based off the form that we're seeing I'll be surprised but who knows
because this bracket could be a crazy right dark mode true take a look at my
reddit okay let's take a look bro uncle Sam let's take a look
my slide show from uncle Sam uncle Sam let's see it brother
uncle Sam really want us to view his slideshow let's take a look
do you believe champion curse is real yes NRG has done for it
no WTF do you know champion curse is real if you don't believe me tell me where
Ascend, Loud, EG, and EDG are right now.
Then why do I have Brock Pick and NRG logo there?
Let's ask, who's NRG's daddy?
Also known as Sen's daddy.
G2.
It's coming home.
My only weakness, Janks.
Honestly W slide, bro. You made me laugh.
Oh god, brother.
Who's not fiddles with those, uh...
Jax.
I don't know what I'm doing right now.
I don't know what I'm doing right now.
I'll say that. I don't know what I'm doing right now.
There's hindsight.
Oh, maybe not. I don't know.
What do we do now recreate work now, can't be doing all that.
What do we do chat?
If you're going to slides, we could do more energy slides.
We'll keep it going.
We'll keep it going on energy slides.
All right, here we go
We'll do one more energy son. We'll go back to the broadcast. Okay, and our G slide by Hussin
Vance since one year ago
Looks like they made a little cartoon here
The reigning world champions an IGO who has mastered his craft
NRG 1 2 MIBR NRG 0 2 g2 a kickoff with twist turns and unexpected losses. They faced whatever was thrown at them
A duelist to be scared of and the one to watch and my favorite player
Come on man. The one reason to support them is
This is not a by the way 11 aces
Top left to bottom right wait this guy kind of cooked on this shit. I meant it cooked too hard
That they never give up chase the dream care to legacy
Artist thoughts and our G's kickoff was low key in there
They should have won some of the games that they lost they should stop losing as G2
I love this team because they truly can bring it back when they're losing
You'll be stronger in Santiago. Thank you for reading my energy manga heart hand-drawn scan added by hussan twitch.tv

vs. America's kickoff vs. Swoop to win and qualify for San, man master San Diego. Oh my god. I can't talk
Our legends were here PRX F&S LFT marved vitality artists rise shanks and many more
We have some W streamer mostly Shameless champs winner cove baiter backpack the come-on man guy six seven
If you ask me, who's your favorite player?
Mata the ace farmer the ace machine you name it. He has 10 aces in 2025 nine regional one international
Trust me, bro. I checked VLR played five different duels at champs 2025 finals
beating the beta allegations with his first kills first deaths and
Extra tall blonde and gorgeous sanks made by Tina and honestly pretty good pretty good pretty good tip the hat
We took the hat
Can knock it
Yeah
That might be the last one for energy. Let me see
It was the impact he had it wasn't necessarily it was like one more for energy
But the impact rounds were enormous. We will leave the broadcast on while I read it so we can hear what they're doing
Alright here we go energy by spikes fine
Why energy will fry by spike sign arrow pointing at Brock
You typically will look at the likes of divide or you look at change to be the one that kind of rounds up the real
After winning champs there's two reasons to cheer for NRG
Brock Odin absolute cinema
He's been a really solid player before in his previous squad team C class and he was a stop play that
So I would be surprised, but certainly the global level because that team was getting no way
There's another slide. No, there's not
Josh is just finding teams
The carry on a bad team to be in like a guy who can occasionally give you take over maps
This would have been a takeover map if for sake of
I think it's funnier like this. Yeah, but I brought that thing.
But I don't know, I don't know the mode.
Why is Shadowlogy to making more than two slides?
Well, they were told to make only two slides.
Some people made more and we just let them through.
Everyone was told to submit two slides.
Just to make it like easy and chill.
Jen here with Coach Bunker of Energy.
Now Coach Split didn't quite go your way,
but you guys did manage to slow them down by a lot.
So what was missing in your eyes
when it comes to countering PaperX today?
And should we be expecting the same idea
when it comes to Pearl
and countering Forsaken Speedo in particular?
I think we did a good job on Split.
I think on defense,
we were playing too passive overall.
We didn't have any long lines against them.
We were just hiding.
We were not looking for fights
So we're engaging in fights, so that's another one thing we're gonna change coming into play
Thank you so much and good luck more proactivity on defense
You mentioned earlier Josh when we were going with a map pool that NRG have gone up against
Okay before in America's yeah, and they were able to I saw tail and so that's a normal comp they run
but this is pearl which is
NRG's map pick and they're already loading in pretty much every other team
So we should have agents like pop up any second
They are far more creative with it. I think oh, yeah on the attack sides definitely so much more dynamic with using that veto as an
Entry force teleporting into smokes popping out of them with flashes from you know one of their other players having
For sticking out in veto, maybe a haunt from in view to play all things along those lines. It's real nice
Yeah, I hate to be boring about it. Yes, your eyes are on forsaken again. It just makes so much sense money
He's playing the veto
to counter a double initiative on the left side.
Ethan's got to slow the game down a lot
and force PaperX to push for info and try to punish that.
And that was what they were doing well actually.
They had a great idea coming into split
about how they were going to make things uncomfortable for PaperX.
It's just that even that good game plan
still only got them to a 6-6 scoreline in the half.
We're really going to need to see some excellent calling from Ethan here.
Obviously, so experienced under the bright lights
in multiple titles, like we said.
He absolutely knows how to rise to the occasion
occasion and he's going to have to outplay a really strong defense from PaperX with this double teleport comp.
We want to see that map 3 come to fruition. Haven would be the designer.
Will it be the case? Let's send it back over to your casters to guide us through the action here as we get ready for Pearl.
It's Pansy and Hypop.
I have to ask you though after seeing map 1,
how do you feel the odds are of even getting to a map 3 now? Pearl coming in here,
It is NRG's choice, but it's been a good display from PaperX.
It really has.
It definitely down on speed.com.
Every series so far has been a 2-0.
It has to be for NRG, as the desk
have already highlighted for a number of reasons.
But I think this is going through maps.
It being such a question mark, am I a jinx?
Potentially.
Again, with that map one.
Could I be wrong?
See how the rate was.
Potentially.
Satisfied both sides of the coin.
Now, unfortunately, I think you asked a question.
Rstein fares better.
I think the video on your slide didn't load.
Was there a video?
Damn, I don't know, yeah.
So what's the matter with the fan, bro? Put the fan down, man.
Why does Kiko's fan so timey?
What are these guys doing with the fans? They've never held a fan in their lives. What's happening on the stage?
on put the fans down bro pick the mouse up man it's average size yeah yeah yeah
all right let's see what you can do and i'm just for the sake of our happiness which we haven't
felt in years marda straight to business and see how he gets on because this is a game for him
Uh-oh
1v3 scuba
It's ever a time of this ever a place
forward the planks already coming through from in the kick in on this
just for a second if you blink on this
aggression and pay breaks a second they know what you're doing and this is not
backing this comes back to that same again what I was kind of hinted at
mother basically has to do the work of two jewelists against the team that's
happy to just explode on this first contact in a number of rounds again
Oh
Sound the alarms brother clean purchase if NRG trust me those classics on the other side
and it is forsaken so kind of that worry.
The reposition?
Yeah, our dodgy as well.
If I...
Sightlines cut for him.
A decent understanding.
Especially now if we're forsaken catching the back side.
The vibe is alone here.
Yeah, it's down pretty far.
There's a quick flank back forsaken though.
Yeah, okay.
If forsaken gets caught though, so that's...
Give it a little bit more breathing room at least.
The vibe's re-aggressing with a sheriff.
I don't know if I like that.
Oh mama. Oh mama.
But that's a better fight to have surely.
Does it sound low?
I mean for safety it's got Bulldog there and nobody's got contact on site yet.
So GA will just peel away immediately again.
Damage done, sure.
But Bulldog gives the hands of scooper.
Something to calm him down and kill here.
No, there's a couple tagged up Ethan and Marder a little bit lighter.
Wow.
Wow, a third shot.
The first two will get you, but the third is already just...
Oh my god.
And that felt like all that threat falls away, as Kiko has to just face all three.
Something is waiting, watching, and finds it.
Fall for the man. Big round.
I need to have very long.
...from Matt Bond.
Uh-huh.
He's only looking for a comfort.
Is the mission now?
He'll be on for something.
That's absolutely what you want to see.
Effectively isolated here.
saved paper X though and season hard that little play is satisfying the martial
one shots like a shotgun the fire rate on the martial is it's not
posted up as well it's hard watching it from the other side isn't it?
I didn't know what to do the trade but five and one start for something here
it's too late because already
okay big game in fight here four man from PRX
Probably watching the art player
Observer sleeping or what?
Through them are one shot to the Marshall four of them are one wait everybody's one shot
They were all one shot.
Molly Ethan
Moves come on man.
He's being the only one to have messed up all right for here.
Only a hundred credits behind this.
I expect them to try and hold on to this.
Again you can see how close this is to going the other way.
Four pay-per-acts.
It's weird isn't it? Like five standing for the differences of bullet or two.
That's the difference.
And again just on that start of it.
So so close to having the damage.
So close to have the damage, but again, it's one of the things I want to be looking at throughout this one as well as
How something in jing get on because we saw obviously envy and forsaken kind of being the main characters on that one
But they didn't necessarily need map 3s Haven. I want to do their map anyone else. I'm down for haven't I put
Hades me fun
They're just one of that
Something struggling at least numerically sure to find value
So it's always the the terrifying we always talk about
Oh my god the satchel.
Little clear they hurt him.
He got satchel and got two.
It's not getting to haven unfortunately.
Nah I wouldn't say necessarily so yet.
It's quite not committed just yet. Okay. They got to know it's off of that orb
Mada on the lurk has a main control just on the sake of Mada's contact when there was contact down be long as well
But yeah, they're gonna keep three a it's scary Fed RG
I didn't think it was second.
What?
Oh, what a kill!
Same frame!
What? Oh, what a kill. Same frame. It's something left alive in the operator. That's why they walked into the sack and made it work.
Forced to give this one up.
Oh, Lou.
Happy to get down inside this smoke, but Ethan finding the second one so quickly towards sight.
It's been a miracle work for the both of us. These rounds have not been easy.
Oh, something might just be broken.
Who's that?
It's so close, close enough to hear these steps now.
Something has no idea.
Oh, yeah.
No idea that it's close.
Scuba on the hunt here.
That's a key weapon.
But the attention turns something.
Just trying to play his life now.
Wow.
He doesn't get to leave the operator.
It is gone.
This is every player.
He's about to claim and move the operator
from the inventory of paper X.
all the scan the name bounced back I guess oh yeah
really isolate the front I don't know what I made a difference but I mean in
these traded instantly I was so scared if he got to breathe for a second longer
reset a touch it's just for to slip that smoke as well everybody from NG's
look at how our eco for up here X here it is a martial on something
get themselves far easier playing field but this team is scary oh all
occasions oh my god I was close
gonna remove the sakin as well so something
stand this ground a little bit longer
well I'm not the same sort of success on it great scaling from NRG is here
What a spectre.
He's made line up.
Ooh.
A little bit of damage.
What's up, motherfucker?
Oh.
He's out of body.
Hey!
from that divine and beat just sheriff's so see what they can do on the way out
here but put that shit out dude we've got a nice it feels very similar to map one
almost right initial good start in the pistol round for paper X great reactions
from NRG it's that development and the adjustments and the adaptation that goes
on forward like you just have to keep my eye on and also a lot of bailout
was that was like you you mean it 2k 3k 8 and 2 before it's around started
he's he's done very well I don't use with the pack this time either
He's over towards the A side keeping that backline safe. So
Question mark not quite all right full by
What you made for your wouldn't you wait for your mates instead of jumping in I think it was trying to satchel on with the ashes done
And those pray
the game is a quick today, then maybe I play one or two of our games, maybe. I do feel like
start around wanting to play I'm interested in this as well because
father's been on a bit of a currently a couple of times to decide but I could
change support here as commanded the rotation to that's your correct shifting
back into it way deeper hold down
oh stand
look at the good uh we're taking here and well I missed him
I
Have full a main control spike is down front main
50 seconds
Where's my looking guy didn't turn around fast enough what the hell is little led you can jump on there?
That's just a little box in that corner. You guys use that thing
Easy for us to know for him every corner could contain. Yes stars stack up
Penny drops
Oh, yeah, such a good chance.
Indy's eyes get, brother Indy, I'm not going to lie, he's like,
thank god for that.
Almost baiting out the rotation there off the screen.
A point man for BRX.
He's not like, not only today, but even yesterday.
He's not the lord, a little pig air at the play react.
It's a lot of moments.
Two, two, four.
Cheeky kills there actually.
Indy's nasty.
Yeah, he's just, he's stable.
Oh.
Uh oh, he's commiting to this.
Yeah, the TP out though to be fair.
Oh!
Oh my god, he repeat.
Holy shit.
Risky boy.
of a say here. They got the trophy. They know left is clear. PRX are rotating. They know
no one's on the left. Jump spot. Oh my god. Did he see anything? Oh my god. Did he see
them I don't even know oh god I don't know for sick and saw them stable like
Ronaldo sure
Whoa!
We're on adjustment.
Oh, overheat? Overheat?
Wait, we're divided.
We have your armor.
140.
Time!
70 seconds!
What?!
What?!
I mean, just again, a couple of
Oh, you can't breaks here in a
desperate attempt to slow things
down. Jing, over steps the mark
ever so slightly. I'm just sorry.
What? Yeah, it's just first you
want to eat it again. Jing can
reset. Fortunately, well, I say
fortunately, actually, something
I
Can all the bailout what's an X factor player two rounds now in my eyes in the has been
He's been that calm center for paper X making sure they are getting these close rounds. Nah
No freaking way dude. So slightly I feel like I feel really better for me to stand cuz I feel like sitting down to my energy
So I'm already like
Things
Beautiful space clearing and understanding of what was available. We were three standing
I don't have a tremor here. My tremor is still on me. I gotta get it.
Low key with the tremor back chat.
Tremor walk fast enough.
Yeah, he's fine, dude.
Timing on the flank, timing on the flank, timing on the flank.
No!
Walking place.
Is walking in place the same as walking on a tremor?
I've forced out this round again.
What, it's just such a beautiful catch here.
Anticipating if we're sitting a little deeper.
It's going up and down on my feet.
What are you saying?
You need to capitalize on the space in mid as well.
You see, just at the end of that round,
the ping's coming through.
Is drinking water the same as sipping on water?
No.
Because you get more water when you drink it.
It's just outrageous from brawn.
I
Was somebody sat next to Alex something's going through a brow you really get a comparison
Time out for paper rates
Because again, I think if you as much as you look at the last three rounds
It is a two-to-one exchange paper rates are coming out on top
But I do feel there has been a couple of moments where they are overstepping
over playing being a little bit
she's not pressing her moment to down
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
That was winning them rounds on split so it's not
necessarily something you will see
I guess it's a domestic video
It is part of their pedigree but
Yeah, NRG just
It does still feel like damage control right?
Yeah. This is a war of attrition
in terms of the pace
in terms of the tempo here
particularly early on
Close game again
time our paperworks are discussing the exploration they had made because this is what our invested set
piece men are G's are rehearsed almost towards eight
they're doing this coming into what's going to be a very broken by them there's going to be a
full person behind it i'm necessarily expecting something massive here but they do have a couple
of alternates i'm begging one match to go about three not to have so far i think this goes
It goes map 3 man, call me crazy!
Call me crazy, it goes map 3 dude!
Why is it empty?
There is less people there today but it's a weekday.
So that's probably why.
the one they've been their hopes to, I mean there's four players on the other side of this.
How does he handle this one?
No, in the utility dump here, it's clear.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit, son.
Oh, shit, son.
Put him right back in his place there.
For something I get it, you want to try and at least do some damage.
You want to try and deliver a bit of a chance for your boys,
but you're not going to get away with it.
Stacking B and are just going a classic wait for second
Yeah, we didn't find anybody now they're walking B. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's a free site. It's a free site
and within be alive but I'm sure I'm not I'm not I'm sitting I don't know for sure I'm
sending how do you know for sure
the investment
you're actually confirming the note won't reach this far but
don't come through
I'm sorry I'm a deep angle here
oh what
okay tonight the park that is gonna cause a little bit of an issue
oh it's all good wait a minute
Also take a lot more damage than you'd last.
Wait a minute.
Jing, gonna polish scuba, hold on, make me a believer.
Make me pay attention.
KJ!
KJ!
KJ!
KJ!
KJ!
KJ!
Not necessarily gonna secure this post plant for NRG.
Just slows down paper X for a mere second.
Jing, gonna get away from it, the bullets do not connect.
So 30 HP, he gets closer to the site.
Damage done towards Long, Kiko on the 12 HP there.
They're gonna take away to buy this now problems. I don't blame them though. They're low
The chances became so slim at the end. I like what they tried
They did force the hand
First it up and got it didn't get any taller. I'm gonna just six five
I'm six five
Shut up
in there. I know a bit of a
how's the pilot? I'm only doing it for sake of missing oh something back on a scope.
You can see, NRG very comfortable on there. All right, full buys, outlaws though.
The vise alone. They're rotating. NRG like B, huh?
towards B. Any ults for NRG? Nope. A lot of ults for, uh, yeah.
Oh! Like a fish in the water!
You can see that one back, Mada, with an absolute belcher of a shot.
ACM?
But to fight, it's nice to slip towards backside, but Mada seems aware.
Sports about, so much better than Mada!
Oh, shit!
Damn, is this time around?
Oh, shit, I'm disgusted. I just threw up a little bit.
He's got his sense ground here.
Wait, what?
It's NB who's the one to break back in by taking away true of it from Mada.
We just wrap this one up. Holy
Around absolutely dismantled by an RG great catcher for sake
Holy
It's put in a corner and put to bed me mother and chat me to be thoughts that are teeth there won't be one versus mother
See some investment back in signs of desperation from pay breaks
Look at what's behind this. It's not necessarily a team up for round 12 11 6
to play with it. Mada, this is the greed, brother. Brother. Mada.
Gonna make him work for this. Mada, you have five bullets, brother.
Honestly, Mada, fuck it, Waleelson. Oh, shit!
Oh, he's getting a base! He's getting a base!
You are the best, baby!
Mada!
The machines!
Holy shit!
You don't see that every day!
That's the two-time!
That was cold!
The second half here, but Mada doing...
Like I said, the victim has to do it.
Two people's jobs for some of these competitions.
And he's gone over and above here.
Oh my god.
Back to back aces to give NRG 7.
What the fuck?
What was that?
Woken by back in for paper X, held on these four rounds, and Mada starts to feel untouchable.
What was he doing?
What was that? Time kills?
Time kills.
5-5-5?
What are you taking?
Am I still making subs?
I think yours I haven't been
If he gets three is in a row
I don't know what I'll do but I'll have to do something with tools themselves
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing something now balls
You might do it. All right, fine. He gets three is in a row. I'll go ball
If he aces this round is as well, I'll go bald right now right after that is on it the clippers. I'll see if it all off
It's already a 0.1% chance to get two back to back.
It's legit 0.000000000 times 1001 to get three in a row.
It's actually more likely for my hair to just fall off my head than him getting another
ace here.
blame you after what's been happened.
He's forced to respect it.
You know the passing, generally, from Mada.
He has no chance to get inside.
They're trying to play back in.
There is no stopping Mada.
He can't take him out of midair.
Jiglin tries to ignore him.
He's trying to dress that backline behind him.
He walks to the fall.
Thank God.
He tries to make up for it.
Can't do enough, though.
13 seconds.
10 seconds, brother.
10 seconds, brother!
you
you
you
you
you
Yeah, we've seen here in this some new terminology out there that I frame buggy moves 100% moves.
I
Goes that already
Your source six seven dude lock in dude
They have spawn they have our spawn
get some ground. Yeah, now with that space on one, healthy. This is so bad. Maybe an
unorthodox post one. This is so bad. Oh, brother. Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, look at the
HP. Wait, they're low. You got a job. It's a hard, it's a hard plan. Bullets. If you
You got a star?
Wait, look how far Forsaken went.
Forsaken's played this very well.
Actually well played by Forsaken to back up that far.
Yeah, I think he knows this one might be wrapped in his paper X.
A little close.
I said look at something and then two people died.
It's like I don't want to win, do they?
It's gonna take something forever to get back there.
You see him?
This is a proper 6-7.
This is a proper 6-7.
bring scuba just a little lower I think six six into six seven is not the same
as five seven to six seven if you know ball you know ball I'ma go ahead and
say it in the second half real six seveners know what I'm talking about
here can we do it on ball tonight I'm busy tonight tomorrow I'm busy tomorrow
to your shit
Yeah, you read a book no joke I have a way with words, would you not agree?
I just think no, but you guys are weird, bro
You guys are a bunch of chuds. You guys are a bunch of chud lockhouse. Don't get a frame ball
Let me leave your house to a chud lock house in the shot
Every person said no. How's it a hundred percent no not even one gets a yes as a troll
You guys are shameless chud low cows
Slowly making this way
Through the motions here side now
In five books Harry Potter goblet of fire Harry Potter came for a secret Harry Potter prisoner of Azkaban Harry Potter
I did not say death of the father be hollows you guys are you guys are chudging in all couch chuds all right bonus bonus full by for energy I
Did not say death of the fatherly hollows
What I meant to say you can see already energy was definitely hollows, but they can't really do that on both sides of the map here
So gonna
Exploring far behind this hold on every fast on these rotators
Can they survive scuba on the other side of the map could isolate something and punch him on the push-up?
It's a paper exit trying to take the space. Don't fall across. I still could be there
Come on out!
There's no way you're meant to get through there!
Oh shit!
The slot goes down. 2v3, Ash is late.
Ash is spawned. They know it's 1v2. It's 1v2 inside.
4 seconds alone.
should have him dead to write so Forsaken you're all alone timing oh my god this
gets weird martyr he's got such a great reaper forsaken 3 3
show me what you're made of wow that was scary that was so scary for second
windows so green for sticking the plan
Hp as well so a real risk of him falling in that situation maybe yeah, and he just died fully right you could have probably like
What's something doing right there gifted a freebie the team finding to me on the way in
Kiko and scuba is wild
A miracle then the ball table to follow up
Utility
way from the showstopper. I'm on the bottom next.
Finds a few. It's still sitting on the nightfall.
Don't want to get consticky at monitor.
How's your monitor break, bro? How's your monitor possibly
break? The only way your monitor can actually break is if
you punch it. I never see my monitor just stop working.
To be fair, I mean, even back in the day, a little bit
slower than a monitor ever broke. I don't think so.
Paper X
Was just the clearing
Okay, full by here
I can't get my wife to like Valor, what should I do?
Oh my god, no Odin? Why are you getting kills? What?
impact can people explore anything out of this? That's only going to divide in something surely.
2v4. If NRG loses this round, wrap it up, Onk.
That was time and time again. He's such a nuisance.
The chance to set up here on site but not much in form of options here, something.
Wrap it up, Onk. If NRG loses this round, wrap it up.
It might be considered too, though, because Mada can clear site and he's done it.
He's done it! His position now becomes less relevant.
I
Personally I see here as well. They're putting it together. You can see them turning on the dime. It's on
Yeah, yeah, it's done wrap it up
Get out of there energy. I mean it just felt perfect modest positioning Mike
It's not the flashier sometimes, but the fact is behind them so often
Yeah, it leaves these slippery plays almost too readable and they can't play it like it's like it's your birthday, bro
That's because anything you want in these flanks because the numbers just don't play the paperx
He's still flanking
Big kills by Brock
Forza YouTube shot, how we doing?
Yo, it's Eric of NRG loses this map can you cover my mortars this month? Dr. Dunder snow. It's unlikely dude. Don't gamble man
You got this done man
I
If we can read it, I'm sure he can
The kind of boys in the service you guys didn't notice the chats are both merged in the stream now
So you guys can see each other you guys to talk to each other right you guys should become friends
So can you tube you guys could be something great?
But the chunks of Haven are becoming a little bit more of a reality that definitely are yeah
Wait wait wait guys be nice
I feel like YouTube's ad was ready to make friendship.
That's a high twist users if you don't sub come to YouTube, but there's less ads on
YouTube.
But if you're a W viewer, you watch the ads, dude.
And you buy the products, too.
And you're telling Tariq send you.
Alright, here we go.
Still a full buy off the pause.
They're looking to try and catch Malva on the push-ups.
I'm behind the stream more than a minute, you liar.
You're an absolute dirty liar.
Are all Tarek's ads for hair loss focused on the game, Val?
Uh-oh.
What do you expect to do?
Scuba!
Yes!
Pretty!
He's got a great trade from Envy.
Numbers to the good.
Players standing.
I don't think Brawl gets to get away from this.
No, he's going to be noted.
He also stands some of this ground.
Oh, he doesn't know he's planning.
Oh, yeah.
He looks towards Long.
Yeah.
And they heard this, and they thought about it.
I think they have.
I mean, oh, you heard him.
Maybe try to shut that window of chance
that maybe Ethan feels he has,
but Kiko is going to fall off the site,
but they've taken away that play.
Brawl has ults.
Is that maybe why he's turned back towards the site?
Something for sake and jing.
Jing has rocket. It's not planted for them by the way. They have to beat this
Let's try that's right and she's and she's and she's
The damage financially here as well with what's the knock on
Effective or the issue actually coming out of that. Did I do stack up three oaks from that round?
That was a terrible round from who both teams or for NRG I mean you need to cut at least two
Or motto needs to get one in school gets one, but you can't play Mata because he was baiting for him
Okay full buys though outlaw
They have five light armors that are a lot person is perfect sure how I can't lie. I'll all buy is perfect now
They're all one shot once again looking to try while they were trying to imply those group pressure through up
That's already been kind of cleared right evens on this. Ethan's getting curious
I don't know
Just figure out where pay for XR
Yes, and well the start of rounds will sign the downside
Elsewhere right you've got players basically back place spawn here for energy. They don't want to
That's your wall to split it
What a sass that all traded
huge trade huge trade. Mata has wily ults
They won't know once the ult though. They can't hear the plant
Oh my god, this game actually hit it
Yeah, I'm confirmed damage, but it is there right in these damas. Where does he really ults art?
Okay, uh, something's gonna find scuba. They have for my god, the three forsaken come back in taking a look
They pop the open girls as Kiko and mother
I don't see where they find these chances here because the bike okay
Not a bad start though back out of the old this was weird
They got sandwiched in the corner
I
Want to secure a $0 in the bank
The fun believes here's where I was looking bad, I can't lie. I don't think so
I think it is better played by PRX this round. Also, I'm having an outlaw as taught.
I think, yeah, two players sitting 800, 900 in the previous. Here, it's going to be difficult to muster together. Kind of something workable, but...
I know you also used ult. Yeah, you're right. They actually did. And as you used whaling.
But it comes at a crucial time. I think that's it, right?
Big
Yeah, you're right
Maybe a bucky
He goes one off
This feels like the turning point
Maybe not in the outcome of this round. Is there a first or second pause? I think it's first right there
No, actually, I don't know. I didn't get a chance to close out in two. Well, this is for gentlemates first liquid
Hell you can't put anything questionable towards Martin the kid has been I didn't follow you enough. I
Would mean to the gentleman's okay. I think don't miss when
I don't know in the work
I favor gentlemen, but I think it'll be close and it has really really shun here. All right, here we go
On pearl energy gonna get a little bit active towards B
We're gonna sniff this out there anticipating the eco from NRG some aggression
The worst possible outcome here for NRG to be faced with a retake
Yeah, they got so close. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if they can protect the next
two purchase, we're going to die. Look at what's already built up. We're going to go. They're
going to go for this retake. Again, denial here doesn't really mean much. They're close
to too many ultimate. So I don't know where the threat would come from. I mean, well,
There's one name that would stand out, but
Hawks going up great
Oh god, you missed that job
Yeah, it's fine. Okay, Jen and I didn't have a smoke for the spike. It's fine. I get a little bit
Maybe trophy blocks it. Paper X are up. They are in the lead. They only lost one in that round. Everything is good
The operator to come out from lava
I don't know what I'm saying.
Something in algae haven't relied on it actually, but knock on effect here is there is a protected
purchase behind this.
So, paperwork's fine, 11 here.
In algae don't concede a crucial round.
The holy cast is ruined for BRX?
I'm hearing it.
Maybe.
Available to them.
That's another step.
We'll take it.
Okay, Vito ult.
The ult here to kick off around.
We'll see how fast these play.
Continuing this pace here.
Okay, Vito ult, let's see how fast Vito split it.
Not really, not really.
Yeah, he's fully alone.
He's fully alone.
Big fight here.
Mada with the opener.
This happens it's still building 20 is three looks like NRG play retake with the KGL
Have a lot to do here. This is not an easy scale. They want to use it fight as a scale up through long press that corner jing
They've got locked down like we're two shots after he plans
So many pop shot beat it out, but pay for extra navigate pass. He's not gonna do it until he plans. There you go
We're gonna push the ball.
Good luck, Conservers, and good luck to us.
Jing takes the ball and gets a approach.
It takes away the ball.
Jing now looking maybe gets the right ball.
He's still alive.
That's a cut. That is a crazy push to try.
I respect the ball.
That is an insane push to try.
Oh, fuck. Let me see.
Oh, fuck. Oh.
Oh, my God. He actually got the ball.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
the bold swing out there.
Big win by NRG.
OK, OK.
Anyone's game here.
Anyone's game here.
Hopefully teams financially.
No, he had a chance there.
He had a chance there.
I'm telling you guys.
He played for that.
He's been him.
He had the timing for Martin's catch of kill here
on the other side of the map.
Oh.
It just falls.
What?
What?
That's a nice shot.
He made something and swung more onto that.
Yeah.
Just the L button.
Yeah.
Yeah, bigger picture-wise it forces.
They quit some forcing into the set-up, the NRGR, anticipating.
Beautiful switch-up.
Alright, still a 4x VRX.
This time they're not going to be testing towards middle, it's direct towards B-long.
Scuba, you put on notice early.
Ask them to send away, can't stick around.
Big gap in rotation here, if Jin goes any further forward, but...
He's a little back away.
way. We'll try and manipulate these rotations. The late-looking Mivillan just says he can get seen, but he goes back. Geeko out!
That's a huge kill. It's like a really struggling... It's over all wasted, though.
Mada just posted up here, commanding so much space.
I think I said that alt-tagging very well. They're going into the ops.
But, uh, I think Envy has Util. Envy has Util. Envy will definitely spot him.
The question is, is Mada get out?
Oh no. He tried to keep me behind the dog to buy a six shot. That was a six shot. Oh
jeez. Those sashes look like me. I'm not going to lie. Those sashes legit look like me. It's
4v3 but NRG have a low player. Rockets to delay.
I want the first and second go of things
Now
Round from Kiko you think Marvis turn for an RG right now to face the full might of paper X here
That you still is great. Yeah
beautiful catch on the satchel
And how that started felt like this goes big
You got a huge round here by the way. You got a huge round both kills you got
And he got oh, yeah, okay, actually
massive impact
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh no, I got caught on the jiggles. Oh, good God. And so it begins. And so the throw begins.
And so the throw begins. Double peep, poof. Punished. Punished.
2v4, Divy, and something.
They do have an empty site. They do have an empty site. But does something push spawn here?
Does something push spawn into Mata's waiting arms?
The question is, the answer is yes, he does.
Are you right?
What?
This says for Mada, a new lease of life for something, but can he make anything of this
new lease of life?
Already Mada is having none of this man, keeping him on their toes, buying time for the rotation,
14 seconds.
What a fine splice after all.
Watch out here, they are grouping.
Oh my God, they get windows, they have H3, they don't mind.
Watch up, I don't think they can.
He was this.
I ain't going bald, he might live there.
players just bounding back through toy. Oh my gosh. Oh my God.
PRX are showing signs of weakness. I never thought I would
see this day. Crazy. Yeah. Oh Alex is not happy. Rex
struggling to stick the landing three. This you're still
here and double people so good NRG they're looking like a proper team first
not through the tournament yes if we get there
W crab no joke W crab
5 man BPRX W train. W train into the B site. Scuba's alone.
Here they go. Oh my god, Kiko. No other healing.
two big kills now he's gonna be
charged down by something
good rocket, good rocket
that rocket for the bullish
and the molly
hold on!
he goes a day to one player
oh mother
oh
wait he goes moving
bot's moving, 1v2
wow we're going to have to really
keep going brother
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, back three Haven cinema
All right, maybe we won't play later.
It will not be.
I think the EU match goes three as well.
I think Gentleman's Liquid goes three easy.
We got a game on our hands.
Has back to back days ever happened in VCC before?
I think in one half, yes.
Back to back, yes, apparently, yes.
Apparently, it has.
Now, has anyone done a back to back to back?
That's the real one.
Three in a row.
Imagine getting 15 kills in three rounds.
I will be the first.
Mark him my words and mark him right here.
I can't talk, wow.
Calm down, buddy.
Calm down, buddy.
Oh, shit.
I cannot speak.
I don't get 15 kills in a full match,
maybe the same for real.
Oh, say, look at this, that's...
Oh, not up yet.
the finale cannot make it no they did not they did indeed not make it
Who's pick is map 3?
It's just Vito down to it.
So I actually got the last ban.
I guess they kind of decided between Breezer Heaven.
What is Brock? Is Brock's signature an octagon with a B?
Is that a signature? The Brock the gun?
I would give 50 as well, guys.
back to back
That means one round
Jiggle peaks to make sure that it confirmed hit somebody swings back into it
He was on fire. It's not every day that you see a talent like Mata come through your doors
And you got to appreciate it while you have it because that's a talent that you're only
You know what I love about I don't have been up first ball running forward. He's not missing love
But it's the end we're scuba
That is going sewer. Yeah doesn't shoot them to the ran across the stage
I go on like basically every night give it a look nothing on there
And then I just go watch my sign dogs or I don't know
Like some random
Under their respective leagues, Mata's been here for 14 months.
Nice agents.
I saw that.
I didn't watch it though.
So we heard from the coach that you're bonkar and he said one of the biggest things that
they wanted to do.
You're so old.
Yeah, I don't know.
I could have find him a thing.
Yeah.
I think Mata's a great example of how that confident play actually played out.
I don't watch other streamers.
I try to not watch plays.
Because unlike map 1, where bonkar felt that they were turtling too much inside
of the site.
Shark Tank?
How does it even be an example?
I watched it for like five minutes yesterday.
Like I'm not actively watching shark tank, but I was there
Well, I just couldn't find anything
Not making excuses
And it allows you to get a stack on the B site so I think bonkers should be much happier with how his team actually played
Yeah, they're on the defensive they identified a problem why it and we're a saw what is a new season of hijack
Okay, that's actually a good shout. I did like the first season of hijack a lot. That's a good shout.
Oh my god, that's big!
Massive credit. That's big.
That's game changer.
That 4k when nuclear on that round had like 0 HP.
Yeah.
0.5 of one health point and he got a 4.
How do I watch Dexter's resurrection?
No.
You can never count out these players in these 1k.
There's a lot I haven't watched.
The other thing though, too, is that
coming into this one, I know, right?
We were really stoked to see how this veto was gonna play,
how energy we're going to have to deal with it,
because Forsaken has been phenomenal,
and I understand you have some breakdown here.
Yeah, so I got a breakdown of kind of what NRG did
in order to neutralize this.
They did a great job at neutralizing the op on map one.
Here, they neutralized the veto.
So what's the theory?
I mean, the theory is that the veto
is gonna be amazing into the two initiators
that you're running, because it deletes all of this.
Utility that you'd commonly see so
I'm just gonna pause and run you through what you might expect to see you might expect to see a recon going up into something like this
Take home missiles flying around the corner. What's the point of doing that when it's all gonna end up getting deleted?
So instead energy have got a double star setup
So one of them is gonna become a stun the other one's gonna become a smoke
They'll let them get onto an angle and they actually recon all the way up here
Which is miles away from the interceptor so they know it can't get punished
And this is all coming out of the anti-straight and they did having lost to g2. So look here
What happened to probably that school by now we're going about three little saturated. We're going about three
It's one one in the first year. Yeah, what happened so far. It's been very close. Honestly
Cuz I think both maps were 1310 actually back in and energy have taken this area. Yes
It's not explosive. Here's that's your pearl a main brawl that you'd like to see
But that's because the veto would stop you from doing that and then they've got a protocol on the other side of the map
So here let's look at the babies are frying on the minimap. They had a couple of different variations in these top dragon for PRX right now
You've got the opportunity to drone down and have that be the first piece of you till they get broken
And then you save everything else or you can do what they do here, which is use you till they can't do the energy
Very good on Haven. I'm not gonna lie. That allows energy is very good on me. Whatever it is
And as the interceptor is going you just kind of trickle you till into it
So you you get the
Just to confirm that the intercept is there one salvo got thrown a pillar earlier on then the second salvo gets thrown in order to
Push the veto out of position. They're very very good at being able to
Only use a tiny bit of you till at the start just to confirm that
It was immaculately done. Yeah, it's exactly how you would have expected coach boncar to whip up the strategy alongside
to get ready for this but now let's go over to Haven we're gonna get agent
selectors what are we gonna get one of this we're going to map three everyone
at home you deserve this okay so what are we gonna get why it's it's map three
and it's a map that both these teams are three oh on in 2026 so the one one
yeah paper X bring on a crazy Phoenix comp you guys are only
drinking water yeah no water energy playing very much to the meta you're
We're going to see Mada on that Neon Archibald.
We watched him against XLG the other day.
Just to absolutely cool over this match.
I can't look right now.
His ability to create space just to stay around the place.
Watch the rest of his team play off.
Lovely on that side.
And I think for this side where NRG is on defense,
what you want to look at is whether they can maintain
information in a lobby.
Because either Mada or Brawk is going to want to know,
is somebody walking down short right now?
There's no Cypher.
There's no Viper.
They're really lacking at PaperX tools to fake a lobby pressure, but they're so creative with how they mitigate that problem with
All in! Game was up!
This is an insane game to have already.
Champions of last year versus the Toronto winners of last year. Team here gets a spot in the playoffs.
Listen, I know it's a Monday. If you have an office job, get your phone and go hide in the bathroom.
Oh man, folks. This is it. It's map three. A spot in the playoffs are on the line.
Let's send us over to your casters. It's pansy in Hypoq one final time. Here we go
We all wanted this right we saw these two here we go
We saw the map or we saw the veto and we thought Haven surely that's what we want to be reaching map one was
Fantastic 10 to 13 pearl coming through 13 to 10 so close so often but Mike now look at a Haven
Who's got this one?
It's so hard to call now.
Again, NRG.
Just in the way that they're able to slow things down at the end of Pearl, really take control.
Chad, who do you guys got winning this math 3?
I don't know what the gamble looks like, but...
I'm worried for paperx out.
I fancy NRG.
I'm probably jinxing, but I'll say it.
There's so much pressure now.
Yeah.
Necessarily on the first laugh, but in terms of mother's ability to take over this map and dominate...
50-50 in the gamble?
I'm not gonna lie, crazy strap.
Oh, oh God, oh God.
Freaking little Timmy.
They got spiked on.
It's so sad Valorant slash League infrastructure isn't the same as Counter-Strike.
many more international tournaments would be sick. Yeah. I've said this before, but as a CS
pro, I always envied the LCS format. Like, because as a CS pro, you travel so much to the point where
you get sick of it. And then I always thought like how cool it is for them to go to play in a
studio every weekend and have a natural life. I think for viewers, definitely better. I think
I think for players, I don't know, I think as a CS pro, if you're going to all those events,
to be fair, I think on my teams, you're overdoing it.
We would go to Lugus every event, so that was probably our own faults for getting burnt
out.
So the open format is probably more fun for everybody, it's just, I think you're
more prone to burn out.
I'm going to be in the end to buy to invest crowd. Well rounded. I'm going to sign from
an RG mother. Use some damage here with his throat and get the spot that shoes kind of
I'm messing with that skin though. I'm kind of messing with that skin. In terms of
Ultimates
You just want to see that cycled on the country's of events you
By like 25 or something see the good example of how I can look
25 to 30 maybe I don't know maybe that's too high my guess
For a second I was taking away jing but there's now issues on the side. They've already stepped up for
Oh
I don't think I would have gone to nearly as many places at this point so I'm grateful for it
effectively. Well played.
Double Scopes, I'm seeing.
Come pay for X.
Favorite country?
It's hard. And there's a lot of nice ones.
I think it's hard.
I will say I really liked when we went to Mexico.
Cancun? Just because I love the beach.
I don't know if this is my favorite, but I really enjoyed that.
Oh my god.
At least take away a long space, but you look at the rest of the map
That's where the action is gonna kick it off and it's in the same green way
I think we keep going through Garret or something
Systematically they're just kind of figuring out this map
It's not around the NRG obviously they've invested much behind this
Just those buckles that pull it off
And that's already been cleared so device done well that's
Bonus for RG
And that could be 5 alive now for PaperX
I'm 15 seconds behind
Are you sure?
We'll get another 3
Just send this one
I don't think I am, bro.
I don't think so.
What are you going to do, Modder?
It's like testing the discipline, isn't it?
What are you doing, Modder?
back. Wait, he has a champion on his gun on his phone. Wait, back, back.
Obviously, I mean, that's someone to give another point away, with Jing being so close,
taking a divine not too far away either.
The guy watching you could be here behind, that's true.
Jing is going to be permanently ahead of that guy.
Why don't I go to San Siago? I think part of the reason is because it's Ramadan so I'm just trying to keep it a little more chill.
And yeah, I always just go with that.
This looks really nice.
I'm pretty sure the food is slapping. I'm sure it would have been cool. But yeah, it's not this time.
on split as well did jink
am i good at london
i hope so
let's see i don't want to say yes or no right now
i intend to i would say all right here we go pull by
have you lean towards a here
okay they're going five towards a rock is here like started leaning this way they started to come over pretty early on
But as you said, it is.
They'll be.
You're going to fall back towards maybe back side, play towards.
They reset.
What is that?
What is that?
What was that?
Oh, my God.
Look at Mada.
He's so good at taking space.
Yeah.
Mada has a massive impact.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, Mada's done this.
Repeat.
You know what I'm saying.
And he can check behind this utility if he sees the threat.
And he certainly does.
And look at the patience.
the first cross through and then you can just get out of there and help me work from Mada.
That's an issue. It doesn't really make them have to disrupt this.
Yeah, they know what's useful. F4 here.
It's still very red, very readable.
But they still have to hold the sight of Mada's repossession.
Wow, huge.
They're 4A.
That's pretty much his ankle's broken and this one is Eastern.
Now over 1 on the side though.
This does not give them security on the side.
Oh my God, Kiko's saving them.
It comes into effect.
Kiko actually saved him.
1v2 though.
He's leaving Jing in a 1v2.
Main man Mada is here though.
I guess. What a freaking
stone. It's round being model.
from Kiko on the site as well.
around so big. I'm popping.
aware of the pressure. I was
not able to create so much
value. He goes well. He goes
in terms of mid or c long
six shots
somebody has to pay attention to this
make some sort of a mistake
another issue is that you're not winning out on somebody's first engagement
i don't know if you're in now
it's hard for somebody from paperx to commit
well basically you know what i am
games born
yeah
I'm gonna read that this is a heavy stack towards the other side of the map.
Warman, eh? They're playing retake.
Let's go back to the schedule, though.
So it's gonna be full retake set up here.
Oh, they're gonna get out.
He's gonna have a drama too early.
Where they gonna get back?
I know you have to get back
I think scuba messed up, so he wanted to get in but maybe not they got back in though. They did get back in
They're running away. They're running back to motto. They're running back to motto. Maybe
No, they're going to be
Actually going be
This is
Oh, oh, wow.
Wow, wow.
Well played.
Well played.
You've got to give it.
You've got to give it.
They've got to give it.
it. PaperX is second here. They swing back and forth across the map. Double guessing
themselves on this A here. Oh, I've got a catch on Scuba. There was a ton of chip damage.
I think there must have been either some U2 invested towards that pocket or long, but
It's lucky that Payprex is able to reset behind this lock down.
Nuts.
Time out called here for NRG just to catch your breakfast.
NRG lead 3-2.
Anyone's game.
I'll trade back and forth around.
Do you have the pit available?
I just want to walk not too far behind that.
Hello.
to squeeze around on there yeah everyone's close yeah there's been a lot I'm so surprised they actually
or it would pull it off I thought they cancelled on that approach rolling the dice on a late
B round when you've not got two or three kills and you know solid information elsewhere I mean
sure I'm close yeah I was gonna be really purex good mid rounds swing that back in that favor
I always thought maybe Ethan was going to do a little bit more from top to side at that point
Oh my god. Oh my god. I don't like it. They play such a risky game. Wait, look where
Yoru is. Excruciating to watch sometimes. Yo, show me Zola. I get it. When you get
away with it so often, I don't blame you for it, but it still just gives me pause.
Nice try bro.
It's nice that he hit jing and he can heal back.
Ah there's no way right.
I don't think he's alive once that
It's been hard to open up but
Have I posted so deep here?
Oh!
Oh!
The Viya is nice with this score
The Viya is nice with this score
Tie game, tie game, tie game
I just got so scared to look long. For the sake of a drop rifle, I get it. I understand.
You've got the confirmation of what's behind that first play.
Wow. Wowee.
I'm loving it.
It's reasonable.
Alright, here we go. 4x.
Operator in hand, 4x, Divy, and a 4x.
Big TP.
We're seeing that coming to the back of the leaf, but I don't know if I believe, but...
I'm gonna get close contact towards Garage because he's got the player in the attention in the crowd
Over a C-split
But it's a change though
Ethan's gonna...
Well Ethan walks in after that
He's gonna build the space
Doesn't take any chip on the way so that's good for him
And...
Look at the paper X
Steadily
He's going in towards a C-site
Maybe a little bit of a look still towards Garage
When did you play with?
Yeah, I may be expecting obviously what the change up from the time I'm gonna be
here is very methodical
How did you play with?
Yeah, I may be expecting obviously what the change up from the time I'm gonna be here some very methodical
early on tried to bait something out with something to keep you back into spawn actually, but
Taking the bait on the side of
happening
It's my stall, but paper actually gonna go up regardless. Is he excited? I was the attacks added
Oh, the flashes. Double flash.
Oh, God. Here's save.
They should save. They should save.
Double flash.
That was on purpose? Oh, no. Maybe.
I'm just kidding, I love it.
Yeah.
I mean, you saw how little room this is on the back of that small kind of bay and switch
push towards backside clearing it out. I mean you saw how little
room this is on the back of that switch towards garage early
on and you only have one pause so I doubt they would use it.
Yeah. Three in a row of PRX device top dragon eleven and
three. Still up on Mata saved.
Fully. Uh oh up on up.
Oh
Tag 2
I don't know if they clear this
Perceiving, wow
What a cycle plan for Seiken
I mean, they've got Kiko boxed in here.
Man, Forsaken getting that. I thought he was on for a sit around there on CT.
He has a second smoke top site to like get out.
Yeah, he does.
This is a cool play.
Guys, Ethan there, that's a weird position.
Do they get to keep in these weapons?
They just lost out on Brawk and Kiko's had to give away a bit of a game.
What a peek.
You're not nice enough. That is going to be them suffering financially in the future.
I wonder if NRG will use their second pause.
pause because they need runs on
defense
in terms of protecting some sort of
buy paper x slowly but surely up to
five now a string and DRDR you know
another wild and wacky round bizarre
absolutely bizarre
really
Looking to maybe find a response
Okay, we're back into an oposs
I don't blame you man. No, I don't. I don't. It is PaperX.
That's a darker player right there. That could very well be something.
Yeah. By forcing PaperX towards this side of that now and basically everyone here for
a long time. He's in trouble. He could be caught here, but he might want to go
down swinging if you can the paranoia got posted
spams it
oh my god
oh my god they're getting picked apart
shaka
that's a good one
that's a good one
the guy's aware
oh we saw him
oh god
i fear
PRX might run away with the game
I'm not going to lie, it's starting to look bad, it's starting to look bad.
The office is working done.
It's not done.
NRG, I'm yet to see them get back in the driving seat here.
Yeah, I mean, it's the finance tree.
The fact that they're able to pull out a full buy that, yes, you'll get it.
It's the purchase, but it's just so well constructed once more from PaperX.
Even some of these crucial situations where NRG typically shine, right, towards Garage,
can really lay down the law with the Odin and the shock shots.
I think Rex Edwards is just sail on through.
Eco for the NRG.
I'll switch up here.
The bite isn't there once more for NRG.
The map is overall attack-static because there's three sites.
So defenses naturally spread more thin.
Also, PRX do have double duelists,
so you imagine their defense is weak because of that.
So it's multiple things that are good for NRG, but I don't know, I'll see.
Maybe make some progress here to Viagra a little closer, but he's been doing God's work with the Operator.
4-3, the tangible threat.
There's already that little bit of an attempt down middle gets Senpacking.
And it's quite interesting, Paper X playing this kind of very deliberate...
Rock, good luck brother.
...very built up approach draw.
Let's see how quickly he gets cleared here.
He's probably one of those people nearby, he's just on a wing and a brad, dives in, gets down one, doesn't see anymore.
Now he's dead as well, but it doesn't really make much difference.
As part of the only one who's trying to get the blood buff, it's Scuba the last alive.
And PaperX, this is the most controlled, I think I've seen them in a long time.
As weird and wacky as it is, they're billets.
Oh!
Most tempered for sure.
Yes.
Won't be too long here.
Yeah, I'm just...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pop down, they're fine.
Oh, good.
Scuba.
That's something that yes, it's in our paper X kind of fragment out. All right 73 full-by-mod has an off
spacing it's somebody
Defying the law
Crazy paper X here looking very well refined
This is a scary thing any other teams watching this will probably avoid Haven from this point onwards Marta
Trying to be the difference maker. Oh, it's all fake news though. There's actually no one long
And he's walking back through
The first time I ever seen a 5-pointer
Careful for short
Again, early info
Darners on the back of that
You might be beyond
Not great coverage here
You know, TGG were advanced to ND, that's why PRS got him
Really?
It's like retake with a lockdown
Very difficult to swing back
And take Rex's favour
So they don't fancy it maybe, maybe they want to get maybe a layer to that from garage?
They're pinging all the way behind the window.
What are you going to look about?
I think we might be James getting...
Oh my god, is he an actor?
Interested.
The smoke is very talented.
Yeah, I don't know if I even like that.
What?
I mean...
Oh my god.
Okay, I'm spitting the smoke.
I don't get this.
Let's give it time.
Yeah, that felt way too rushed and actually a mistake.
Actually a mistake baby and energy pounds. Oh shit. Oh
This would need divide to find four more we see the couple races
I was
Bullet by a pixel
Let the bolly clear it
Okay, so there's life in them yet, but look at that streak around that's probably weighing heavy
That was at the back of a first pick as well. We haven't seen before
Looking like see
Oh my god, they're out of seats.
Oh my god.
No one wants you to see.
Oh my god.
What the fuck?
They all died before in the green street then.
Wow.
Everyone's died before the garage guy could even shoot.
Damn, what a patience.
What a patience.
Worked that perfectly.
I'm not sure what he can do to answer back here.
Jim Kanger.
Jim Kanger.
I am so impressed with this, Mike.
This is the perfect control for Paper X.
And as you said, let's do it.
He got one from the Rugs.
Wow.
Wowee.
Wowee.
A4?
Any pistol bad.
Any pistol real bad.
real bad who plays next liquid verse
Come on, Dad. Okay. You're not gonna ask all that.
All right, here we go.
And I want to talk to you about that with PaperX, Mike, because, again, when I see things
like the Phoenix and what have you, it's quite indicative of something.
It only tells me this tempo and pace to be expected, but it's been controlled chaos,
and it's not even that chaotic, really.
It's got a very well-drilled look from PaperX.
Very composed, tempered in their approach.
A4 at half.
Getting to site, it's not as if you're seeing players kind of dig ridiculously deep into
my kills to convert post-plan situations.
It's just very well-coordinated.
And again I want to put a lot of credit towards Defy doing brilliantly, individually, nice impact
from him playing up on the chamber and in me as well.
Certainly a talking point here in the second half as well.
Burnshat put his riot ID and said gun buddy please, like he's just casting a spell.
It's virtually one that's hard to call here.
Marder has still been present in the back lines but not to the same degree as previously.
Divide certainly gonna have a sample as all the rest of paper X
Yeah, you expect them to come out swinging here device 16 or five by the way
C slam I really think whoa my god
Three view up here
Kiko potentially looking to catch somebody a bit. I mean look at the x-ray
It's quite a few
Why they kind of like is the ears?
I think it's a shot to stop.
Identify the whereabouts of
somebody.
It seems like a really good read so far from Paper X as well.
It's kind of taken the tour a little bit.
They put their pieces in the right place.
They have 4A.
Uh-oh.
This rotation, they give you the right place right time.
I think probably we can hear that.
Energy got problems.
That's a lot of players here.
Wait, they heard us.
Something.
Realize never mind. They're back there on this a they're back there fake rotation. Yeah, I guess so
Still for here
I'm willing to back away and maybe you can question why would they at this point? They've got nothing to wow
Trader though that was filth, but divide with a great trade even wants to get up here for there's so many bodies
They don't know how many bodies
I was saying, something's gone down as Kiko Rain Supreme.
It's on Jim and maybe an orthodox spot.
But they clear it off.
I was like, I was just swatting.
I didn't think that's how it was not the discipline.
That was nuts on display from NRG to approach an A site
littered with paper X players.
That's a spam kill from Kiko. Holy shit. Yeah. Oh my god, Alex is going to crash out. Is
he waving? Is he waving bye bye? What was that? Is he waving bye bye? On Rectacall,
100% almost nothing just if we go on right there's four there I'm adding a
time in a delay
well no in PaperX we'll probably get his reward let's find out as in RG back
level away from that early I guess intention show what a piece what a piece
so they are making sure they're doing a due diligence here making sure they're
not leaving anywhere unchecked we know the PaperX like to get up there in
shorty-ness and Fidelia put back into place device option to that headhunter
Here goes mother
Is that a spike here device gonna go for a kill
I didn't see you get a single span.
I just forgot about that shit.
Was Brock using the order at all?
On defense?
He wasn't.
Why?
One round?
He did for a couple rounds but it didn't do much.
No money? What do you mean why?
Why don't they save for it then?
Comfy and chill?
I like the username for a comfy and chill.
Do you guys have a problem?
Yeah, if his pace is too fast it won't sound like a good idea.
Yeah, supposedly he tried it as well.
but
It's gotta be so satisfying to get kills like that, right?
Oh, they're going see we're getting orb
Get out we're at Chick-fil-A look i'm hungry as hell. I would oh my god Chick-fil-A
I'm drooling i'm just drooling
You should do it
No reward for him the tradeouts actually forsaken finding brawk, but in the meantime is that telling
see how this kind of unfolds from this point I'm gonna walk up behind the smoke no
device here Monka
they'll peek
wow
pink 140
140
his life the fact he's still breathing
timing!
he's got him!
oh my god
oh my god
oh my god
Scooby has got to be sad
There's only two of them to take all the parts.
I'm going to begin and jinx clearing house.
Oh my god.
Everyone has time.
And it's all too easy.
Oh my god.
The paperx, that from Dubai is lovely.
Yeah, four left standings only.
That's tough.
Something lost.
That's tough.
The paperx up to nine.
Wrap it up.
Is it over?
Any early snowfall at least.
First kill.
That was bonus to be fair.
Spam onto the angle.
Yeah, what a wild reason to just challenge this orb.
On the bonus.
Tell us what's written.
All right, five, seven, nineteen, and seven.
It's an explosive return here in the game.
All right, here we go.
Full buy.
I feel like Defyre is one of his players, like big stage, big games.
He finds an extra layer.
Time out.
Very late.
Last pause.
And then RG here for the time out.
Last pause.
That's really late.
Yeah, that was very much obviously gonna have a full purchase here.
Maybe he didn't like the call that he heard.
I kind of like the early pause before PRS gets hot. I don't hate it.
They're trying to convert their first full purchase.
Nish to work with, right?
Nish, absolutely Nish.
Yeah, Mada, I guess, the closest to what he's going to.
So that's not really something to bang on.
Now, Mike, what would you be doing?
NRG's shoes here.
You've just had a pretty commanding round from before.
You already sort of feel a little bit of that presence.
Well, can the coach here slash see during a round?
He just sees his entire team, POV.
I don't expect Payprex to be making moves forward.
So whatever his players see, he sees the same thing.
Yes, you've got a Phoenix in here, but don't really
Goodbye 19 and 7
Am I dumb why is it about the room PRS one team apps well they didn't win
You're flat, but they still don't know about change until now.
Great shot, and he is now left on the pitch.
Paul is a flash.
Big trade.
Provides here.
I'm putting them in a 4v3.
Man to the swing.
And Paul now in play.
Oh, what a flash.
Oh, Kiko.
Oh, Kiko.
Oh, you're cute.
There is no getting past Kiko, it feels like.
And Scuba, get your gun out in there and find something.
Big round.
Off the pause.
Bonkarp.
I was going to say something.
Big pause.
Whatever he's saying, man.
This is an early exploration towards C-Long.
It's all them back to see again
That's huge
Oh my god
Swing on to the orb
Oh, mid walk but there's an alarm box
Five man a right now
Beating out your tail
They pulled everyone's hair
commitment what this side of the map oh my god look at mother oh it's a
punch shot they like doing this that's true with the ominol
we have the post one utility still a decent amount there for pay breaks right
here man Z's gonna keep Ethan tethered for now then for sake of
gonna get curious paranoia is there but he made a big fan it clear from
sight but now this problem is curing that deeper line 5v5 post one it's
gonna get messy.
He's a flash.
Big kill garage.
Jing is through.
Jing is through!
Just walks down middle of the mix.
Jing is through!
Oh!
These lineups came all the way from sport from Scuba,
but I don't think they're gonna make any flight.
Oh my God, Jing saved them.
Jing saved them so hard.
Oh my God.
That is wild, by the way.
Everybody?
20 seconds.
I roll with blinds.
Oh, the paranoia!
The paranoia from Forsaken got not a double fly, so I got you really nice.
That was actually nice, damn.
That was a big win for PRX, I'm not gonna lie, and I actually invested a lot there.
This is a must to win round for an RG.
If they lose this, I feel like they lost the map.
It's a stake on...
Yeah.
Attractive fake.
Indy's gonna stay.
Indy's staying.
is a rock but he's gonna want to deal with you when you get up from sewer. He's hungry for it!
Feasting on paper! On NRG as they try and scale up!
NRG, look at that little odd done here from honest my-
I don't have to be over charged. I don't know, that's not like the game.
Which paper is looking like it's trying to feel it.
That's the sort of X factor that just works so well.
Look at Jing. No fear at all on this.
He's leaning forward, taking as much space as he could to allow the others
to go in there and do work like that.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Wait, PRX going to take out GCNRG?
Oh my god.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Oh my god.
The lineup here, it was...
All good, we got Feria.
Shit.
Is Feria turning up PRX?
They said to get down and dirty in the mud
They've never been afraid of that. No, they have never been afraid of it. They will greet it with their smile
What's behind this by now?
Yeah, they're bringing a guardian to your life shields across the board and the
Serving it right back to him the owner against Brock now don't get Brock mad. Well, there's no learn about I'm playing
I
Think something hasn't contained, but he might not know
Indy has fatal for retake
Marder barely alive gets towards site on 15 and they can make it up after that
But what is the layering to this one here we go? Oh the Molly?
That was almost like nasty in their work paper X showing you really why they're so good
But still I don't wait you're going for it things been good. Not by the way from PRX holy shit took so much on the way in oh
My god. Oh my god
look at poor sakin making moves there isn't hurt here smoke up yeah he's gonna have smoke is hurt
that's true yeah
eat them eat them resource issue still no plant let's go we hear that now
oh they saw all the flank is beautiful the flank is beautiful
they're slip through onto the smoke in plane goodbye cleaners ever 22 kills eyeing up potentially
Well, Envy has just been so solid in terms of controlling a site on his own once more.
The Forsaken runs away with the map.
It's been so much time to learn from this.
Got the pit here, got the Hunter's Fury, but...
Hey Prex, on series point now, scuba tagged up off the spam already.
device trying to capitalize
They've got energy feeling this pressure
Feeling the map close around them
They get the A site
Folding up to do it allow them to scale up behind
Yeah, so what's happening? What is the plan now?
Here's the retake
Pick and secure
They're getting panicked in RG feeling that loose get a little tighter Ethan trying to keep
up to what's happening.
You could paranoia that.
Big paranoia.
Big paranoia.
Yo they're all having.
Oh my god.
I'm gonna get that all.
I see him.
He's all there.
He's still.
I think they're calling cancel on this one.
I mean for a second found broke but I don't see anything more.
That should be the bookshot on this round.
They're gonna bump it out.
They're gonna get this one up.
They're gonna get this one up.
this one I mean for a seconds found
brought but I don't see anything more
that should be the bookshot on this round
they're gonna bump it out
give this one up, 8 rounds for NRG
but paper X still just one away
I mean this should be another one of those
to pull out the bag
the pit basically deciding that one
from the get go
NRG will
put their head above water
for at least another round.
Only the people forsaken on the side of pay prex until this old cycle.
Likewise, Ethan and
one goes grabbing onto the freaking mascot.
One goes crashing out onto the bear.
or is it that is what I don't know
oh they might feel it out
they know they lost it's fall bait
yeah the smoke to act is enough of a deterrent
he goes watching some really deep line just on a
split off angle
I don't think Deva is going to go that far though
he was on holding that kind of seaside of the map
basically to himself
and it's a late look back towards A but
Indy has been actually insane
this guy is, he's on my radar
then some stick around into he wants to reset as well so they're kind of tempering this aggression again
there's no but no over commitment
not ready yet
well g found some back and forth going out
that shot again
the idea of a tp here
something will cancel it
some will come through something
they'll never tp
wow what a spam shot kill
very nice to have you by an rg there
just very system actually
Oh, the trap went off.
Bam!
Caranoia?
Mono with a 1?
Double swing? 2v4.
Oh?
They're saving the money for PRX is healthy
What
still not smooth sailing for NRG? Yeah, I mean, Scooby's at 350. Now, Ethan will get the upgrade
regardless, so we're going to be able to share the wealth a little bit.
Yeah, you're very tensed here. Here it is. The culmination.
12.90. Timeout. DRX boss. Yeah. It's got to be right. Maybe.
Yeah, pay breaks deciding time to pump the brakes. And again, they've been good for me
We are this time after it also gives chance for NRG to check back in here, too
Call the bars of scuba falling in the previous still sitting on the hunters fury as well
Taking control of this decider on the chamber
something again struggling is getting caught in some of these situations where you just
don't want to see a yoru falling so pivotal in terms of the rotations here on haven particularly
on the defensive side.
He's been a little bit like cotton cold at times, it's been a little bit colder than
I'd like in some ways for something, again we know where this guy can mechanically
do.
Yeah, compared to what his eyes are, right, like again I'd just like to see that
in effect in that yoru more than anything just having a bit of influence on these rounds
device been doing wonders in the again is just looking like a new name to activate superstar
roster with some real credit the guy has been great he's here to take names man and he's just
been phenomenal so far and to find space in a star-studded roster like this is okay you ask
any player to step on the paper it's 12 night off the pause
It's wild. It's wild. This might
be the blood path that can decide who walks away in the driving seat here to die. Right
place, right time. Early aggression. Early volleys. Paranoia.
Paranoia is fun.
Leaving something to shoulder the corner, but there's still full plays around.
So close. The drawing blood.
Well, gee, we'll put it away very quickly, mad up.
We're going towards Garage already, go to careful, because a little bit ahead of the kerf here,
but it's still forsaken outside of Window.
How curious does Forsaken get?
Wow, that's fast!
It's taken a move, and now the site becomes so, so available.
Now, I think it was the NRG who don't know how available it is.
It knows a four-play stack to the other side of the map, but that's already been disrupted.
Yeah, you're all for resake on PRX.
Walk down just to ensure safety. NRG pulling no punches here. They want to make sure everything is tickety-boo
Take away now
Then still some time left to play with
Jing is flanking
Oh
Yeah, I don't mean for all the hell is happening, but Ethan's gonna get them on just gifted through the smoke
He's staying shorted on this. They don't want to give this up. They're digging in their heels
Pay protection down to two again, and Jim wants this done
I don't know if he's gonna get the chance to save the vice-backing up scuba on patrol on guard duty
Gonna make it costly if they can but at this point 10 rounds surely to be on the board here
Oh, they got both of them. Wow
We got both of them
Up to double digits now. I think PRS on a half by just insane resilience here. Holy
I don't want to pause too, oh god.
And arguably an advantage here, to turn up his finances.
But this would be the most paper etch around to win.
Oh yeah, of course.
The second the money's like broken and they don't have anything to work with.
Yeah, let's force it out.
Did it?
Oh my god.
It's a formality.
Oh my god.
I'm scared.
Help me.
Help me, I'm scared.
I'm looking at the pie.
I'm hoping.
I'm looking at the pie and it's let's see. Let's see, shall we? His energy have looked
like they've really found their footing, right? They've started to work it out. They have
been good at these anti-ecos. Yes. I feel like we're making a point. I feel like the
I'm not gonna lie you don't say
It's written in the window oh god, I can feel something going terribly wrong you broke it
device managed to get down long
the vice-president with a bucket feels really weird
to the right
oh scuba okay okay scuba's alive
scuba's alive
40 seconds to energy
they're running back to something with a judge
oh brother
oh brother
we're still gonna check it
we're still gonna clear it 28 seconds
you're gonna clear this one
Oh
Oh
My god, oh my it will be energy to find
What the freak dude my free entertainment cut the shit out man
As we are so used to seeing on the international stage
It will be energy to find
Brother oh
Brother as we are so used to seeing on the international stage
It's happening to stream crash
Oh
Pause!
It's obviously not purchase just yet.
We're sitting at 4200 credits.
Jim, we'll say this-
This is not for entertainment. It costs us all of our time, brain and soul.
And you put it like that, yeah, I guess you're right.
They're consuming our brain, time, and soul.
If anything, we're paying-
We might be overpaying for this shit.
I still don't know how this is gonna go down.
No clue.
We might be overpaying.
NRG have just found four rounds from-
How much rounds do I got? Me?
Yes.
Honestly.
Yeah.
Absolutely running back in late round into a judge somehow energy. I love you. Mata. Okay. We're still gonna go Kiko
The save towards Ct. I mean bloody hell
Literally, this is this is why we want it haven
Last cannon of Dubai
Yeah light shields for everyone else. Okay, that should be spotted early though that information has to be key
Going to the vibe who's waiting
Oh
God, what a ridiculous play.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
That was nuts.
Damn.
Damn.
Damn.
Damn.
That was crazy.
That was crazy, bro.
That was a crazy play, bro.
Brilliant game between these two heavyweight teams 13-11. Wow. What a match
Tens come back
Off their shoulders
There's five people in the included after today
He's in that discussion. There are five members of this roster that can do that
When it just feels like energy have turned the tides
I thought it was all that genuinely I
genuinely believe the energy were on for that OT
But again, you're right someone like envy name needs to be joining these superstars in the conversation an incredible talent
Defy with a headline performance help the close from the safety to pick moments throughout this too many
Down the list. It's just ridiculous. I'm so excited with the form paper X have shown already here in Santiago
NRG again, you can't walk away from this feeling awful about it
No, no, no, you've lost to probably the closest best form you'll see early on in an event from paper X
Yeah for both these teams. They've got to know this is a hard opponent, but to hear the players themselves
plus game bro and be plus 22 yes that's what's been done right let's take a
look in a second
how are you in the I would talk with you real quick first of international event
not counting a lock-in you are really comfy really comfortable in this stage
How does it feel coming from that lower bracket run and now being the first team to qualify for playoffs?
Honestly, like I'm just very confident in myself and my team like
Even though in the lower bracket, I never really thought of it like I was scared or like we're gonna like not qualify
I always believe like trust my team and right now like it's it's really nice
Like we all trusted each other during this whole series like we never gave up and yeah
Yeah, you guys demonstrated that and well I asked you how you can qualify for the first
team to play.
I don't know if you were laughing at that, but I get informed out there.
You had that confidence even when you were in the lower bracket, you had a lot of confidence
in your team and you felt very, very good.
Little playoff was taken man, that was sick.
The paperwrecks environment, everyone can frag and you feel really, really comfortable
too.
How does it feel to finally stand up in that stage, celebrate and scream against the current champs?
Honestly, like...
Bro's future.
Bro's future.
Honestly, I wouldn't also be comfortable on the stage without my teammates.
Like them having on my back, there's so much experience behind their names.
and them like sharing their experience with me and then making me feel comfortable and it's just like you know it's really amazing and
I just can't believe it honestly like yeah
Yeah, great team you have going on
I also asked him how he feels about this
environment between the paperwrecks
he had mentioned that it was a little bit different
that everyone could kill, so he felt very comfortable and I asked him how he feels about being able to shout
Damn, quickly look at the stats.
Plus 1-2 for Envy.
They had a series.
This is a close game, right?
13-10-11.
G2 now we beat like the current world champs like it really doesn't matter who we're gonna go against because we're just really confident
We know like we can win this whole event
I'm liquid against the general mates.
Team Liquid versus
general mates.
GG.
That was probably the best match for sure.
That was also our first three map series.
Yeah, that was good.
It was freaking good, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's also a good one.
It's also a good one.
I can't lie.
I cannot lie.
Ooh, good call.
Let's give a quick shout.
If you guys don't know, Sentinels and Red Bull are hosting a watch party alongside myself in New York City.
Tickets are now on sale if you do live in New York.
We're doing an in-person watch party.
Is there any mod that could pin the message?
Actually, that might be a good play.
Basically, we're hosting an in-person watch party at T-squared, where there'll be food and drinks,
and an opportunity to hang out with me and watch the games in person this is
happening on March 6th and March 7th so it'll be two days so anybody that is in
New York come pull up say what up and I should be a fun time it should be a
good time. Yeah. Is it 21 plus? I don't think it's 21 plus. No. 21 plus the order alcohol
for sure. But I think anyone is welcome to show up. I believe. I believe. I believe.
What if I'm in Las Vegas? Well this is in New York. Rob is in the chat Rob said we'll check on the ages to make sure for you guys.
But yeah if you're in New York coming out, it should be cool.
Invite the mayor, invite Mamdani.
The left player is going to be angry.
for a team of Atom, which we represent at Aleph.
But I also feel that we each have our own community.
We have our own community. I have my own community too.
So it's really cool. So nothing happens to us.
Perfect. Thank you very much. So I ask him what are his thoughts about meeting the fans
and he's telling me that he loves everyone, like everyone.
So supportive also being from a Atom team.
Also, they have their own community, like King has his own community, he has his own community,
so everyone just supports them and it's been amazing.
Much gracias, Boletarista.
Thank you very much. Back to you guys.
Liquid vs. Gentlemates.
Oh!
I might have to stand up for this game, dude.
I feel like my energy levels are dwindling.
I ate a red ball. I ate a red ball.
This week we're gonna use this minor there's
I got a little fan outside
Will the sun give me energy?
I'm gonna fly to New York for the last party
I'm going to fly to New York for the watch party and then I'm going to stay in New York for the rest of the event.
I'm going to watch party from there so I can do my family for Ramadan and
so I can watch party with you guys as well. It's a double whammy.
Yeah, pretty sure it's okay to have a rebel doing Ramadan if your watch party is written.
Dude, Red Bull would go the distance right now.
Red Bull would go the distance right now.
Don't step foot into the Bronx, I'll beat your ass. Oh, trust me, I will not be going to the Bronx.
You got that, King. And I believe you, you will be my ass.
I will not be stepping foot into the Bronx.
Hey, we good bro, we good bro, I'ma keep my happy ass in Brooklyn.
Am I excited for the start of Formula One season this weekend?
If I was a Formula One fan I would be, but unfortunately all I know is Max versus Stappen.
That's hype though.
That is hype though.
What time is the next game at?
I think we'll probably go live in the next 30 minutes my guess
I'm so sad energy loss bro f those are close series man. I mean, yeah, it was close. This is hard
the wind. The wind. It's like
the umbrella is going to blow.
fly with the umbrella. I mean,
my goodness gracious. Uh no,
but of course, there certainly
is a lot of excitement. Max
Oliver's Charles. You know,
they went up against a team
that's finding themselves right
now in a bit of a weird. I don't
know, Charles, but Max
always high. Is that a good
fight? I haven't watched you
You know what? We spoke with Glyph about Gentleman, what would they be doing in this HyperX player mode?
I'm not looking at the right screen.
If I had to pick between USC and F1, I'd pick USC.
Don't judge me.
They solo shot it on me, but I'm not in the host position, and I'm reading it off the property.
I'm so sorry.
HyperX, this is your HyperX player moment.
Hello, my name is Connor Glyph Garcia, and I'm a player for Gentleman's.
I'm feeling very confident.
This is Glyph from Woo.
I had a lot of nerves going into the first map, and I think the second map was the best map for me.
who's I will about
Probably between me ass-bass and forsaken
Underperformed by my expectations just a little bit and so to be able to have like such a big game for the second one
There's a good precedent for rest of this tournament and give me a lot of
and he's going to be a great
player.
Cliff story is incredible. So many of these players here making their debut at a global event like this and popping off as well. Absolutely. You want to see that. He needs that first global first year in the VCT coming off playing from Winterview University, one of the collegiate
And one of his first maps he set up for a great tournament. It was another guy
He was making his first appearance here that actually had a great performance to what the free was that
Yo fire was that was also having a great. Yo, he was the big reason why they did so well
Wordal, okay. Yes, it's a word off, you know while Martin didn't actually have his greatest performance it
Instantly on the global stage again, you know, it was actually the more rookie players who haven't turned up at global events before
before who went bunkers mini cypher was absolutely
I'm gonna play resident evil nine eventually maybe after the watch parties are over
he was really a good advantage yeah I haven't played any resident evil before
find lanes to exploit for kills like a lot of lurks coming through garage
perfect timing for little peaks through window or peaks through the door to
kill players rotating he was such an X factor in especially yet those kind of
C post plant rounds the team put him in a great position where the eyes in
second stop brother what did you just do right there my third spot he was using the utility of
brother got negative information brother got zero information that i guess plays from falling
through the fingertips and it seems like gentle mates are certainly going to be leaning on him
today we had an opportunity to catch up with many let's get his thoughts
honestly best interview in the last series a clean two oh but i got the answer
Oh, brother.
I mean, that was for sure, especially like the confidence that was just a
debut for the international stage. So for me as a player, big confidence
game with a cat and for sure, great energy, good vibes.
That was fun. We're just enjoying every second here in Santiago.
So it was a good test for you. It was for sure a good test, but every game is
going to be a real test and we just need to keep passing those tests.
Go ace that test today. Okay.
Dennis cheering for gentlemen's confirmed
Well the mates are looking to ace a test while team liquid on the other side. They look pretty darn good
I would say hi marks high 90s if you will because what we were seeing from team liquid was in
Output Wyatt, I love it. I had Kazanori yesterday. Oh my god those hand rolls are so good. Oh my god
Oh my I could just die
Shameless I broke my fast for Casinori. I had nine hand rolls
Is that like on this neon and we talked about it yesterday, but I just think that impressive
We're not really joins this time nine heretics and this liquid new roster of nine hand rolls
It is pace and that puts him in position to oh
Yeah, we were talking about how we're being a far cry from what we've seen out of the reason how I don't get it
And it does feel like liquid with that was so good
control the tempo of this game against Gentlemates.
Because they closed it out in OT on Split as well.
They didn't have to show Haven, so it's a map
that nobody's seen from Team Liquid.
We don't know what they're going to run.
I mean, it should be Neon, obviously.
They don't know what kind of Neon come
they're going to throw out here.
So the fact they're willing to float it
means that Nats has got an idea with low haste.
And this is a scary team to go up against.
But I think, especially if it's your first ever time
where you're not using it.
Overwatch Pro, what's he doing here?
They've been able to scrim at least, these two teams.
Even though they didn't match up officially.
Yeah, probably.
But it was late that they hit onto this neon idea.
So it's not like gentlemen, it's going to be super familiar with it.
Yeah, there's a lot of wantiness coming into this matchup without a doubt.
In fact, one of the more bizarre things that happened is that
the little dots make me think that I would actually perform well in a
fluid competition who actually became a crowd favorite here in Chile overnight.
I think it was a hair personally.
My brother can eat.
And I genuinely love it.
It's a testament to how awesome this crowd is.
I got no shot.
You don't make no.
They are just picking out a player to decide
that he's going to be the home coach.
They're giving him his own chance.
And yeah, he was outstanding.
He had some of the highest impact rounds
to be able to upset T1 on their mat pick
and take down that split.
I said we might play Resident Evil after the last parties
are done.
POV is just on.
You're not killing anybody.
The crowd is chanting, purple, purple.
I've never seen that in an international event.
I think the year to meet food on YouTube, he is real strange, he made it Europe dog.
Let's jump into our skirmish side select, we got Camo as well as Mini going up against
each other here.
Let's see who picks up the dub, remember, because these teams were coming into it from
that draft and the draw phase.
I think CMV is actually nice to have, so this skirmish does matter.
To determine who gets to make those crucial picks first.
So far though, it's looking pretty solid here.
They're trying hard, I like it.
I think in terms of who's got the better raw rain, but you don't know exactly how that ends up playing out
You think so? Out of the two of them? I think Mini's aim is so good
Personally, I'm most great too. Don't get me. Yeah. I just been startled sometimes by the kind of shots that Mini hits
They do have a little bit of a different place
I don't think in terms of aiming you've got some people who love holding angles some that love putting pressure on their opponents
Yeah, we saw what Mata did earlier when he tried to just get into the face.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, we won.
A bit of that flicky aim going that high sense.
You just see in the ways of gusting on the angles, but also then when he gets
a multi kills, it's the crazy whole comeback.
Also, they're playing kind of like, you know, slow paced classic.
See the gust there.
This is not how this match is going to play out, by the way.
No, like if this, if you could run the skirmish and say where the
I'm just gonna be like, Kama will be running it, Vinny.
Step MV, tweet?
Run it, tweet.
That's what you're gonna expect from Liquid against Mates,
this guy.
Yeah, right now, they're just throwing them off the scent.
That's all they're trying to do.
Prevent them from getting wind of their plan,
but that's gonna do it.
Team Liquid will get the win of five to two.
I trust you, I know.
Hey, Kai.
Two of you there.
We were seeing it, you know, he's looking pretty good
out there with those good shots.
Now that we have our winner, let's actually
go ahead and check out the picks and bands
and see where this match is going to be settled.
Oh, I'm going to send it to Twitter once I can.
Hey, everybody, we're going to start map selection.
TL, you won the scrimmage.
So you get to choose team A or team B.
Team B.
Team B.
TL is team B.
That means M8 versus M8.
M8, can I get your first pick?
Come on, Breeze.
Dan, Breeze.
OK, TL.
Please give us a new map, please.
We're finding Abyss.
Dan, Abyss.
M8, can I get your first pick?
What's happening here?
What's happening here?
What's happening here?
Okay, it's a little bit.
What's up there?
Okay.
With the P. Nick.
Nick.
Don't let us down, brother.
Big buying.
Big buying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Binds.
Nick, they said buying.
They said buying.
Damn it.
Not split.
Binds.
Sorry.
One Karoud, TL, what's your band?
Last map, Split with Anhaven.
Bandhaven, last map, Split.
Alright, NNMA, what's your side on Split?
Start there.
Defense?
Defense, yeah.
Okay, cool.
So, as a retap, we have map one is Karoud with a TL on attack,
Map 2 is buying with M8 on check, map 3 is split with M8 on defense. Good luck everybody.
Good luck.
Handshakes.
Touched my hands.
Check coming from me. I saw the tweet bro. It's not that crazy. I mean I guess it's cool.
They said push them respect on my name.
Is this directed at Team Secret?
Let's read it.
bread and butter where they display some incredible strategic fundamentals with that yoru so i think the pool is pretty solid for them but it's
not like an overwhelming victory even getting hasty to replace pat man i see
yeah right it's a nice regional battle good honest regional battle i thought for sagan's
overnoat was for sure him keeping back the ct spun yoffs is on the line so let's go ahead and bring out your two teams the crowd's ready to go
Here's the gentle mates and team liquid. Okay, here we are starting
Oh my god, it's happening
I'm not sure what to do with this.
I'm not sure what to do with this.
Anybody?
Gentlemates and Team Liquid are two squads that have met each other in the past probably
and pearl is look like a pretty damn solid map for them. It's always been a good yoru map for sure
mate's pearl pig makes perfect sense because it's up towards the top of mates down towards the bottom of liquid, but
Goldenboy I reckon team liquid have changed their composition here early because this is another one of the most important dbl
Yes, we're not running the neon. They were running a really weird compatially. You're away
Lay with a brimstone on pearl super strange. I think they've probably gone to the drawing board
We've already seen it in previous matches mates might have wanted to
Working the neon has been good for liquid that
Defeated
And the thing is though is that if if we end up seeing that change up if we end up seed
This team liquid roster
Bust out that mountain that is gonna tell you everything you need to know about
I'm not that people are back to be all trigger steaming and yes
I'm just excited to see if they do bring the neon out here will that undefeated street quite impressive is awesome a huge narrative coming in
It's different you saw that guy right there on your screen just first time bind that was not first time bind for a
Legend in this space a gentleman to his own right. Oh you mean first time buying in the series or events
I see yeah, we've got so much pearl and split it's been non-stop pearl split
And haven't honestly
makers or reality here, and it's got barely we got no binds the weapons that they have we had breeze like once
more pressure
Because team liquid will have been working on if there is a comp swap will have been working on the week before
I basically had once or twice as well, but yeah, Karota we had once, didn't we?
We had Karota the other day with G2, but yeah, Karota has been like, only one time I guess as well.
How in the final?
Starts so beating Nats there for the trophy after Nats won the previous Masters Tournament
and now both of them are surrounded by an entire new club.
That's an excellent point there, right?
Folks Valorant has had such a rich history, but I like her road all the way back side show
That's a long time ago to still see these two names in these spots and yet it's been a very different story
I think I first I didn't like it that much, but I think it's gotten better
It has been since we've seen Stark so back here, and now he's leaving. It's okay. It's not like a big game
Oh, it's okay. This is a puzzle a really important core part of it
And one has to wonder as well. That's what I think. What do you guys think about?
You guys like Carode or not?
Considering that yes, he has been here so many times before. We had an opportunity to catch up with Wayne from my show match.
We were talking to him about how it is to play on this spot.
What?
Carode?
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but what?
They're going for the hop of Golden Boy.
The hopper is out, but wait a minute.
Wait a minute. We're probably going to see the jet.
I thought for a moment we were going to see my gen.
I was going to scream.
So we all going to the knee on the way like the sky.
No fade.
Yo, my cheese is loud.
I saw Harba.
Wiper.
Where's the door, man?
What?
Dude, this is like, this is crazy.
This is almost like you've got back in time to the Viper.
Harba Meta 2023.
Except you're playing Double Jewelist.
No walls on walls.
We're walling off everything.
I'm a fan of everyone's meditating.
I especially do it one time.
You can't just anchor with this.
I'll put Corone and Serano.
Oh, yeah, no, I've only got my memory.
Now, over on that thump.
I'm just waiting for that.
You're just so tall, man.
Damn, I'm closing soon to go all in.
Don't you go, no, and you're tuning in wondering why
the hell are these weirdos freaking out?
It's because Wayne is playing the Harvard,
a character that was recently buffed.
We have not seen this agent played yet in an official.
Every part of his kit.
So we have no idea what the impact is going to be.
But let's go ahead and get this EMEA showdown
on the books and send it over to your casters,
Pacific's finest of killios and paper thin here we go I
Think that we're just as shocked as all of you are
Yeah, liquid they're coming out we said yeah, they're probably gonna change the composition around the neon. Yes. Yes
Okay, chicken taking the boxes right harbor is now making an appearance for the first time at NASA San Siago
Well, I tell you what that's doing the boisterous beach
So much time on the smokes the alt is really good. It doesn't need a ton of charges
I think it's only seven if I'm not mistaken
So you have the ability to really cycle through things quickly to control a lot of space and you know with the viper
I think they'll make do take this really oppressive one. That's my prediction right here
I have to try to figure out way that's my prediction those smokes efficiently and effectively on the fly
So you've got to be
Excited if you're a team liquid fan because I think they're gonna be bringing
I'll tell you what this reminds me of it reminds me of liquid when they showed up to master Serrano
When Matt's wasn't there they had pennies something in and they were just kind of scrambling to find these compositions
And they're running some really weird ones to decent success back at that tournament feels like that
But obviously I'm probably gonna see how it plays out
Trip is done
What a sandwich I think my prediction I take it back. I don't care
Wow
You can already see some of the value you are going to get out of that high tide the ability to cut off so much
What a piece it's gonna open up things and then you know you have the
The toxic screen as well to give you some cover on the entry so you've got more layers here to work with as Team Liquid to set yourself up for these executes.
Big opener from me.
Holy shit, look who's gone crazy.
And then they just keep pushing, they set up those crossfires, they knock them down.
This is a great start for Team Liquid who have run into this tournament.
They're just gonna be running into the B site once again.
See you again.
Gambling spawn from three players. Just gonna be fast rotation towards this beast out of the map
While many
Oh
Plank NASA's aware
Martin one be three that is one
That's his week, too.
You're gonna take it.
It's a matter of the six.
The T-Pager.
Camo still there watching.
Martín finds a headshot.
Shots the shoulder versus Camo.
Only minor damage inflicted.
Yo!
It's the finisher. That was so...
Why is that close?
Team Liquid barely able to play by.
All right, you've got to be a little bit more careful
as Team Liquid just running it down.
He's already starting to get red pretty well.
pretty well the quick rotations coming through from mate martin heating up the
things you do not want to see as liquid we saw it when we got the pearl against
edg where martin really started to step up there as that player that we've
known i know martin is him though don't get me started with you neo
multi kills i think forget you dude the guy is just a terror
the world wasn't too hefty an investment from them in the previous
So there is going to be ceasefire power available to them. Oh, and there's right on the law bin
Oh my god, how's your life? Oh my god. Oh my god
Yo, it's not look at this ballerina, bro
Everyone is running at each other. I'm telling you guys and this meta it's about who runs out who first
Like once you get ran up on you have to run back up on them
Just on the opposite side of the doors right where the spike is on the pure w gaming no joke
The game of praise. Yeah
Give themselves on the board, but again only just the one player surviving. Yeah
My team liquid and mini boo is off to a hot start already has his overdrive in hand
And this is exactly one of the big things I wanted to point out for this match was the mini boo versus BPO matchup
Because mini boo. I think is a little bit
Who won PRX NRG? PRX 121.
Sniper alone again.
Double trip.
Stone is good.
Wow, this stone is so good, man.
Look at the camera going on
Gorgeous just like these shots from
Three kills and upgrade of the weapon. Oh my god back way and gonna be struck down
But they're just gonna have to back away and try to go for the save
Is that what bozer said the current meta is very mechanical
Dude, I really feel like it is like everyone is running at each other
It's pure aggression.
Just look to maintain their positions and hold on to these weapons as long as they possibly
can, but Minibu himself in the correct spot to be able to punish, and punish he shall.
Eliminated now.
Just look to try to stay alive as the spike gets ready to blow up.
Oh
Armor yeah, it's armor
Now your armor gone
And that's not great because he was on zero cred so that's
So much so much damage being done here economically by team liquid on this attacker side. They're gonna be one away
Yeah, I'm getting more weight. You've got the convergent pass as well mini blue as an overdrive
You have so much ability. Oh my god
This play was nice.
Or I could stun by a mini B by the way.
They're going B again.
Nas is just going B straight up.
is your grab reckoning now online move around the back some safety oh mini
he's gonna be taken down way in the first look at her follow up gets it
clipped out eliminated the one rifle they had coming into this round going to be left
on the floor people unable to acquire that this is straight this way out of the south
they could look good bro can't even lie i'm gonna be set up look good look good as well
one stops for being a flawless i don't know if it looks like that right now but they look
They're frying. Holy shit. I think my position seems like they're two zero. I like this a bit of change. I've seen enough
It's just so pasty and just look at the way the players are playing. It's just go go go check angle check angle check angle real fast
Like they are just so hot right now and
Oh my god
Collecting those chargers collecting those heads
The wonder at what point
Decide to call the time out for gentle mates going back into another body you've got four ultimately
It's available. Is this the time to bump the brakes if you trust in the team well done, Wayne
in-game leadership
To be able to counteract this because right now
I haven't done anything too crazy. No, this is gonna be the first round. They really change now
They're going in towards the ace out of the mouth. It's so hard here as mates because
anybody who's trying to anchor is just getting absolutely run over they're gonna
use the reckoning right off the arbor all clear law and they still have follow-up
behind this now there are also counter for me they can play for retake on this
they've got their drift they've got the nightfall they've got an overdrive
site they did have sites situated as well the retail very difficult
like fall will be able to crash across on the three I do believe is really
able to be sent down people if I want to win we'll get taken down
Oh my god.
OHH!
Oh my god, look here unstoppable.
It's perfect. Maybe it's so good, bro.
Loki, I think Big Blue's hate watching. I'ma sell it.
I'm not gonna lie, Big Blue's by hate watching.
He wants him to do well, but not this well.
This isn't gonna piss him off.
That was a 4v5 as well.
Love the way that Mini Boo's reacting immediately goes for the ult to slide.
Don't give Stark so any chance to try to swing you on that angle.
Liquid man, they are something else.
He probably should have a shoot, but he did for a second, yeah.
Early pause, the mates.
Oh yeah.
The second half of the start of the year is so fun to watch.
I mean right now, I think everybody's gonna be hoping that we get to see
this iteration of Liquid Disaggression go up against the likes of Paper X.
right? Or Nongshun. It might be the event horizon moment. Singularity has occurred.
Chow, any of you guys go pro? It's too glorious to witness.
And if you do, will you give me a shout out? I mean it.
Thanks. I appreciate you, bro.
Supermassive black hole that you're running into.
You just can't escape the grab.
With my help. How can I help you?
Nades is going to finally rip the time out and try to figure things out.
I'm 28, you ever hear a dinosaur?
Brother, there's a decent amount of pros there, 30 plus dude.
It's never too late man.
Look at Faker dude, he's pushing 30.
Brosnan skipped the beat.
Apart from the reverse sweep, don't bring it up.
Don't bring up the reverse sweep.
Religious thing I hear
You go for an image
Oh my god
Take down three
Just body hopping around the map dude alone sad sheriff in hand
Well enough falling previously taking some damage, but now getting caught I'm gonna go for the reload. It's a bit
Just keep it double stacked this didn't a poking prod trying to get clean another alt charge
Where's another reckoning here?
Oh my God.
No, no, no.
Cut it.
Cut it.
Cut it.
Cut it.
Cut it.
Cut it.
No.
No.
No.
Oh, it's beautiful.
It is so beautiful.
No.
Gryffindor's tilted.
He looked you just.
Don't replay it with that chin, brother.
He was posted.
He had the boxing gloves.
Left-hand jab look at mini boom and he was crashing out
This is a good crashing out, dude. I'm just I'm behind. No, I'm not
On the pillar finally got an entry
I'm going to fast forward behind, maybe we are a little behind, we're a little behind,
not really.
I was getting towards a pit.
Into brainwash means something to her rather than you break it though.
No, that's crazy, man.
I just mean, 18 months is basically two kids worth your papa.
Thank you left hand side, hold the up down Eiffel Tower.
He's perfectly out into the open morning shots, perhaps,
trying to set up for that portion of our people will be able to close the gap
and get the kills from flawless passion for mates.
The boys not laughing cuz they're gonna run 13 to round here to roll with this.
Why do you seem boring to watch?
It's not boring, bro, but the last game we were on a high.
I mean, this map has been good.
Once he was getting picked down, but it's been good.
That kind of does.
It's crazy how well they're running them.
Martini just threw the smokes, domed a couple, midi even stand up after that one.
Whoa, you guys not thinking what a smashing avid is?
Maybe a bit of that fear being shrugged off.
Seems they can continue without...
Surely not.
It's on trailblazer, we'll check out Martini's position.
Surely this is a fake, like this is all a ruse by Liquid.
But they're all five here, so...
Bop on Nats.
I don't think it is.
Oh.
One for one.
One for one.
They're committing.
that's what he looks like Eric yeah we put us in here
the information on that back line let many try to deal with Camel if possible
they there too
I'll flash through
what a flash
looking for the kill purple
look at that before he gets traded out
ooh, Tarzo
ooh, Tarzo
roughs it hold up
look at the claw this one back still though
seems like it's all smiles from the TL camp
I was gonna say we can't just keep doing be here. We got to try a little bit different the strategy book surely deeper here
Yeah, all five mid perhaps. Yeah, there you go
I mean the death ball is whatever I mean, but this is kind of what you saw against team one for team liquid
Holy aura running over you a little bit once the adjustment is made then they're gonna do like full one
They're gonna let Matt start to lurk a little bit. They're gonna open the coaches here. So I don't know why I just
potentially
I
Think change up the knapsill getting caught in that big
Martin able to collect both kills Camo now take a guy. They've lost everyone since the night has the flag
Creshing out for mates now starting to be rewarded this team liquid
I'm not have too many smiles remaining on their faces after this one the gap is getting closed very quickly now
I'm near a tip to reveal Wayne fishing for the kill eventually is gonna be able to find the one
the third. Purple however, not
how's the flashback connect?
They get the win.
They get themselves two rounds away
from a six and six half.
Okay.
Nate's now just countering aggression
with aggression of their own.
They're just going to start pressing the map.
I'm telling you guys, the Skybird, this is a lie.
It's are going to be, they're going to react.
I think this is a lie.
Skybird is not reliable.
In the team Liquid.
Whoa, that's a whiff.
The roaring start.
I'll be calmed down
Good timings push out of doors to find some kills, but this is just coming down to
Two poles flooding heads against each other
Or three
Oh, they have a control back
What
Martin can do just blocked off. It's a half by ball. They have rifles, but yeah.
More players still lurking around water. That's just start scaling forward towards
that A site, which the most part is empty. Mates leaning in towards B once again.
That's a gun upgrade as well for Team Liquid there. They were on a weaker
buy and they just scooped that gun up. Now they're gonna have a little bit
extra. DSG's howling right there and Wayne, what do you mean?
Those three rifles was when on DSG
Sure that everything is cleared out
There's the high tide going across the A site
needs to get the bad news oh
Shit way forward of NASA still walking for potential deep flank
Oh, what was the toast players were successful after they left dude. This is some bullshit
Make sure the Nazis
Okay, Martin is able to find camo brings us back into a 4v4
Also fund themselves to disadvantage giving the pit down play but the mental drift is there martin
And on the scouting mission try to spot them out
Oh, wow guides minis aim perpo now taken down
After the diffuse spot on to another just sending out some warning shots with me boo
He's passed over in the Nassas hands. He able to put a few score kill many struck down
Maybe who still here on the plate the shorty in martin's hands the one coming away with the elimination and now
It's down to mini boo
Get gentlemen, it's a fifth round win
This is what that shit walk this weekend found it their group now
They have found the rhythm of this and finally getting that drift and it gets tremendous value
Maybe just specifically saving this to
That's tough
Teen again finding players who the sound was off the year old good at that
Anticipating that's it's gonna push out Nats had a shorty of his own, but our team quicker to the draw
He's starting to break things open starting to beat up 13 and 9 for Martin
My hair what happens to your hair bro. I'm gonna talk about my hair. Let me see your hair. What if that's really nice hair though?
Going into that second half on the other side of the coke in the back pocket
Will they have the advantage is the question? I
Don't know why I'm so tired today. I'm not even up last night
Taking turns of a relay here between the two of them, but it does even decent bit of damage there from the wall bang
The map here, but oh many he's gonna find that's over a long a same look that he was trying to do in the previous round
Never got punished never had many on that coming through and this time many is able to get the catch
That's huge because now you don't have that long a control. You're forced to go over to be
Into this cipher set up into the astro stars in the glyphs
watch it close finds the first camo taking down swings it's all a bit more
and clip finds a second shot gonna be going wide the palm bunches out martin
looking for the transfer cannot quite find it lose his sight on pit bull who
cleans it up with shorty and just like that six to six at the half that is
absolute madness. Oh great.
It's 66. Oh, just great.
Let me guess, you guys are going to say 67.
Just wild scene for you to have to think for team Liquid.
Given how this has started, unthinkable.
Wow. To be having some steadier play going into that second half.
Otherwise, Mates might just be able to take them out of themselves.
What a comeback for John Mates.
What a comeback.
okay run break oh my god I don't know why I'm so tired today
all the dollar we the earl isn't rich kick rocks kid
sorry that was weird about that send me your memo
I can't cry this crazy.
Don't make me frameboggy, bro, don't piss me off, bro, I'll lose your frameboggy like
crazy right now.
What's happening here?
I'll lose your frameboggy right now.
What is this?
I
Those beers are red balls
Are they drinking
Water oh my god, I've been keeping him a high drink it as well
Well, fans, a hell of a time out here in the arena, even on a Monday, showing up to cheer
to lend their voices.
Right now, six and six score line between gentlemen and the team.
I could be a host.
Hold on.
Hold on.
What is this?
Pass that microphone.
Hold on, past that microphone.
He's running it down here.
On splinting.
It's a 1-3-1 split.
Try to challenge mid here.
Disrupt.
Anything mid has.
Wait, mini-boo's making a phone call to big-boo.
Yo, they're bringing it back on my ass.
My ass not mini-boo, never mind.
Angled in the direction.
That's Kamal.
So double doors.
And I'm on his own here.
Looking for kind of a reactive play here potentially.
Maybe a bit of a crunch.
All right, hey, focus up.
Six six
The aggro push out
We've all exchanged
Even to try to push forward however, and it's just right into a firing squad
Only able to find the single they're pushing into market
Pickles here so bro, but he is completely surrounded he's gonna have to try to play his way for gas chat
They're going to Wayne. Wayne has been playing well so far. I think Wayne kills two and then
Nats lose the 1v1. I'm sorry Nats. Wayne kills two and Nats loses 1v1. No, not even close.
Now Nats 1v3's them watch.
Watch this.
Oh no.
Oh!
The damage gonna be found that's down to 15 health need to close the gap
He's got the time to play with but he does not have the health advantage
Boy almost got a little nats magic
Just came up short, but it's all just scared. It'll shoot out. You got scared, huh?
Whoever's gonna get I know you're scared to bear in the heat of the moment and this time around
You know team liquid with this pistol probably hoping that mate is just pushing in an extremity either long a long be
they actually held their
coming from shots and
That was just exactly what they were hoping for liquid ran in there and lost
An extra player even though Camo do a little bit more damage. Yeah
Not staff over here. That's got any fully blinded up. We'll be able to find a kill
a little advantage for them finding that player.
That is a sick gap.
If they had a little faster, that's those three.
Oh my god, I'm taking that.
Wait, I don't play Viper.
Oh my god, so I want to trash that.
Who here plays Viper?
Push out towards Secret.
He's been around the back.
There's the partial, but he doesn't pull the trigger
fast enough.
My team finds the head shot.
He starts out with a specter.
All Viper men, did you take that?
They're about to come through, and they can't go over well.
Take that play, dude.
Take that wall!
Man, you don't do that wall, bro.
Man, you're not him, bro. Come on.
We did. We did. We did.
We did what? What did you do? What?
We did what?
starting to get a little bit worrisome.
Hey, sis.
Oh, Valorant, my bad. I see.
We did! Since SCC is playing for Lichord, I imagine you're cheering for gentlemates.
Am I right or am I wrong?
What the hell? Sorry, we did.
Sorry. That was weird of me. That was weird.
the way Nats is gonna play talking to those angles across the mid there.
He's able to cover so much space with it.
The big thing they really need is, you know, purple to get online.
One of nine at the moment was instrumentally.
Bonus round for the babes.
See if you can work some of that magic.
Liquid and game.
And game.
Oh, Martinho.
Finds multi-enemy duels.
Mars on 320 kills, I think.
to try to reinforce him just a little bit.
21 kills already.
Mentional drift is going to be coming in.
Double peek, double push.
Trying to see.
They can stop.
Just push forward.
But her fault.
I'm actually able to find many.
Here's the exit.
It's back to me.
Oh.
Oh.
The monster was killed.
We found an outlaw.
He has like, Marcine 5 HP.
Marcine 5 HP does not win this.
He's not going to be able to find a clutch from here.
Knife at hand.
That's hurt him.
Matt's here's the movement.
Here's him working his way around.
50 seconds.
Nassar's pinged his entire path. Look at that.
Look at that. He even showed up where he's going to be in the end.
Look at that. Nassar's pinged everything.
Wait, he's going around though.
Nassar's pinged his full path.
Does anyone think Martin can win this round?
How does he kill Purple here?
He doesn't.
It'll be purple who strike him down a 3k to rally back team liquid still suffering some heavy losses in the anti-bonus
But they get the round win. That's just what the doctor ordered purple
Me a one of the best when it comes to headshots incredible kiss you get a headshots camel
It's a couple big ones. Our team is gonna have shots were screened present ever dangerous. I thought he was going pro again
Yes, yes, a moment is 21 11 and four
well ahead of anybody else on this team
in the groove. The 2026. Man, it's just record breaking.
He's on foot. He's gotten store for us here. I'm feeling funny today. I feel tired and hungry.
A long control established. I need a Red Bull and a freaking Chipotle burrito.
There's paws on it. I'll be a new person. But there's three more hours to go.
Technically four. They want to mess it up.
We saw the one shot. It was just one sheriff to clear the trailblazer.
They're just expecting based on the way liquids been playing that there might be another layer that attack. So it's just take your time then go for a clear that's so much control at long be
We've also got four players TEL in position just against smart teams on the other side. Oh nice.
to dispatch him, but Nats will be able to get an ounce.
You're kind of happy to play a little bit of retake with this comp too.
Bevo, it's clear brother.
Especially with the convergent pass there.
So does have a nightfall.
He's gonna have some old, the old shenanigans, but just looking at...
Chow, what key do you use to paint him?
He's a move to muscle.
He's looking for that slayer.
They can get there.
Z, right? Everyone uses Z.
Pats looking for the catch simplified one, but a little bit delayed on that one way ends up falling
Spiffle finds a kill
Holding his own mini-boon now felled
3b2
Players connected away from one another as the heels come in getting camera back up to a hundred HP
Tl favorite
Ready for the purple, what a deep ball!
Brother Beep Ball!
Takes down Beep Ball and now finds himself a 3K.
Brother Beep Ball!
He used to come in and Team Liquid, they tie it up, 8 to 8.
Great patience, Team Liquid trying to take their moments,
trying to find their advantage and starting to spread
the map a little bit here.
Mini-Boo in a 1v1 against Starksville there.
You feel pretty confident trying to take that fight.
Starksville bests it.
Virgin path catches glyph right as he's on the way out after planting that's a
baby that's a hell of a turn
that's what you need
hey stand up
hello
hahaha
I love that
I do shit man
he is
and I do quite a lot of shit
we just have to play share of our real
I was gonna say it
you said it first
they haven't played against each other this year
right
if you remember all the way back to that first champions
it was Nath on one side
Oh
Half-by for the mates
He dropped this hit and watch
Interesting
Here it stairs the kills me down liquid members picking their
Oh, just like that. They are back into the lead. You want to say the first game
is a little bit more PRX NRG PRX 1 2 1 plays that round is pretty pretty cheeky.
He throws energy doesn't even stay inside of it for like or qualification on the
next match. Raps back towards the window of flower.
Martino helped WCS. Yeah, like he's just miles ahead of you.
I know how that feels. I know how that feels. And he's correct more often than not.
It's just a crossfire just kind of a roll of the dice there. Yeah
Me you me we did a martin all I know how it feels
Drop dirty and our teammates aren't shooting back
Me boo careful
Oh
Wow
Oh my god
I think obviously it's been kind of back and forth and even though Nate's ran. What is that seven in a row there?
Like yeah, I think
Just to kind of figure things out kind of rally the troops. Martin is a new team
What a luxury to have moving to the states leader like him, but asking for a friend
Coaching staff for me. What's his buyout asking for a friend do is it time for them to start running it down a bit
You know, they're trying to slow walk in towards some of these rounds and
Fine with team liquid
Send Marzina and don't appeal this comp to play fast. I mean, I'm not gonna say no to that play for retake
Yeah, so much ability to cover the map a change of position here at the toxic screen to start
I
Push it a little bit deeper
Makes you wonder
Curious if Max is gonna want to
Go or if he's setting up for someone else to take some mid space here. It looks like it's gonna be mini boo
He's in they know they know mini's there
It's spotted. Oh god
We'll just be quick little stalemate over at shop the back away. What a camera dude. What a sneaky little camera switch attempt
Mini wise to it. I
I see that camera and rank that call out fast. These guys want it too bad
We're more aggressive a camera above their spawn in the corner
layer
Just yet
dog to clear
They want to win that bad they can have it. I was here to have fun. He'll have a neural theft
Yeah
Massive for them to try to find the correct side of the map
I get some value out of that aster all to double stack. They're staring into art
I
I
Know you saw
What's happening with the audio yeah from mates that you're talking about in this time out
Waiting to see what the trap is what the the sneaky play is shut that down don't give mini boo anything
use that cosmic light to escort yourself into that site and then let martin do
what he does best now martin is him bro i'm not gonna lie he's so consistent he
drops 30 every game martin has 30 kills every game bro me and check it's 30
kills in three ranked matches he's getting into one match in a pro game
Bullshit man, what a fucked up world.
Damn it.
But we're, we're ass by choice chat, that's the difference.
He wants to be good, we're ass by choice.
We can do that if we wanted to.
It's full buy.
He's gonna quit beginning the opportunity though so far all the players from Team Liquid playing back now starting to advance
Oh, no
Oh
Wow beautiful
More off the back of that. Yeah, the game audio is so low. Both players low on health the plant not committed to
As far as it goes for it here, Camo should be able to suss out that it's just behind the pillar and catch him with a wall bang.
There's no way Cam's gonna move here.
Lee, pump the brakes.
Still have to saturate too for Camo.
Oh my god, it's a stalemate. Stalemate, fuck.
It's a stalemate, mate. It's a stalemate for the mates.
On the tower. Rotate over into default. Camo on the push.
one tap, look for the kill, some damage exchanged, it starts out!
That hinder and shot might have been the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life.
I'm not kidding you.
The fact that the hinder went in and shot him like that, that was insane.
He has been so clutched today, four mates so far.
The IGL, getting some good frags, huge opener for people.
That neon battle is so crucial in this matchup.
Because that allows you to continue to accelerate to continue to take
I mean, they look crazy.
It's a beautiful flash from Perpo and the follow-up as well.
Stars the window everyone.
And they're going to kick it himself a little bit.
Finally, going to get a time out from Team Liquid.
See if they can.
Borja standing, he's in the booster.
It's the adjustments of their own.
Borja's boosting out.
That's how they stand up.
They delivered.
And now, the first time out, call for Team Liquid on Pearl.
One more in case this gets away from them.
but the economy is shaky to say the least.
Just be like rifles,
the smattering of the other weaponry going into this to try to stop first pause for liquid.
Yeah, you're gonna have a reckoning.
You're going to be one away from a convergent past for camo.
So it could be a world where to be able to use these alts to turn this round on its head.
Economically, just is that going to be
I've seen him in my games.
Interesting.
Wintel chatter.
Interesting.
Deadlock, huh?
Is there a pro scene for that?
Deadlock.
Bustio.
Deadlock.
Bcj.
Bono Sanos play, March 5th.
March 5th at 9.30 pacific.
We're doing, we're doing, we're doing 9.
March 5th, yeah.
By the way, March 5th is the off day, if you don't get the
That's a big joke. That's a
challenge here. Stack set up
and push through. That's the
reason I'm all brother. It's
a jump scare. Yeah, suddenly
step over the camera and he is
dead. Oh brother. Maybe they
were hoping that they, you
know, MIDI's been playing
that sound. I'm just coming
right now. Who's on trials?
Again, try to get that
freebie. We've seen them
try to make him
uncomfortable. Pushes
through mid pushes through
My behalf I need someone who works in Chick-fil-A
Someone's such a player. It's like in my mind now
Calls being sounded the rotator cross towards that. Oh god. It's not gonna
written it better here for mates
Working their way in to be right is it gets evacuated
I need you to eat on my behalf. Oh my god stop don't talk about it
Scary things happening specter for Nats
Are you gonna be able to get it started?
30 for 30 on wingstop? What is that? I'm getting it. That sounds so good
I'm just hungry, Baraki, anything
Do I fuck with this hot chicken? No more food talk. No more food talk. I'ma die
Oh my god
What?
Lawless, allowing for mates to gain the lead not allowing for the half-buy to come through
Now once again on the back foot. Okay, how many hours later three hours?
Happening now you've got three Alts
And again, it's all that extra layer you have with the cipher to know that your flanks are clear
So don't bring it back for real. Okay, big round here. I'll see it
Full buys now. Mid fight.
I like this trap, though.
Uh-oh.
Dog did not see them!
YOOOOO!
He's in a six spot, but they'll probably be aware of it soon
Where's gentlemen's gonna end
a time here in the round anybody who tried to play up on top oh wow down massive kill
we found for many see you missed an arrow that the media oh my god I forgot to find
the punish so one for one that's far thanks man he'll come through and now they advance
forward onto the A site what's it they're gonna call for a second pivot and they're
going B the way across in mid now towards the side of the map cinema cinema
time to try to get the plant.
Reign has to the wave ready to go.
We'll just send that one through.
Oh, need a bad.
Need a bad.
Save.
Match point, gentlemen.
After everything.
Everything is coming up, mates.
Team Liquid now having to back away, saving these final two weapons.
Nates will get themselves up to that point
this again phenomenal reactions
Trying to put pressure into that backhaul
Chai I think I'm gonna kill costum
Warded trying to use that all it's a little bit. We don't have one in there. Probably
It starts out the ability to reset
How'd you're just hoping to keep these guns looks like you will
I think it was a sheath slide show.
I think Martin's gonna get there in time.
Who'd they knife?
Just what a recovery here.
Wayne Knife.
This is looking like it was gonna be Team Liquid just steam-rolling this.
They've got the tempo. They've got the pace.
They've got the feel now.
Beautiful reaction. Absolutely stellar.
That's too late to try to get that collapse onto Sarza.
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Nice! Let's go!
Yeah, even though the reckoning now concusses,
it only gives you a bit of a reveal,
and it is really quick.
It's hard to react.
It doesn't last as long.
Last pause liquid.
A little bit of the difference in it compared to the old one.
Final timeouts from Liquid having to be used in quick succession, they need to push this
into overtime.
They're going to walk away with the win on their opponent's map pick, already had a
three mapper banger series to start off the day, we very well could be in for a second
given that Bunged is the next map.
You would anticipate that
um,
I was gonna keep going through them for now
but you never know I mean
I feel like
you know you're leaving it open
cover that one we get to it
but that was the time out now done and Dusted
will we save the same
I may have been overzealous about it
I might be able to finish it just yet
the last teams are going home
I don't know if I have the energy to watch it if you're
discipline here for the mates on this attack. That's what you're gonna say. Not falling for
anything in mid, not giving up any of those early-time kill-periods. Today I'm bad.
Got through and stabilized. They've got four in a row.
Looking to finish the job. Lift on his own over at Long A.
I'm just trying to get away.
Slowly creeping through.
It's face attempted.
There's my birthday.
There's needs to go.
You want to watch me control there?
Focus.
Happy bladed.
Lift just backs away.
Giving up that space over time.
I'm just hungry.
I think now comes the pressure.
Yeah, that's all from mates.
Storm in their way in towards me.
And there's no ambiguity about this.
They're making plenty of noise.
Oh, wait, I'll find the one three be three shot as well
Keeps them in with a 3d3
Book ammo many but now the ones that need to be all God. Oh God. Oh God
Fuck into this position and now we strike spining one but not before it gets taken out
Sarza's law
I'm not sure if you can read
you. It's horizontal.
He's taking it. He's taking it.
Now being held gets it up to
half. Miniboo has the cover.
Mini. Wow. The noise but purple
pulls off the views. Wow.
The shot. In liquid will find
at least another round win.
One more to go to take us into
overtime. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Lights out. Mini's lurk there.
I was getting ready to go over
Nats does well to at least get one, but
Lane is also finding some value with that Guardian.
They are purple.
Him and purple.
They will adjust barely. Hold on.
So one more here.
Find out if we're...
Nate's up 1-0 or we're going to overtime.
Operator in play.
Nate's change up might be unexpected here.
You fill the one with it in hand.
Positioned over towards B long
Lying on that site
It does give you so much season right in the early part of the game here
So that is kind of forcing mates his hand mother here in total this time around that
Really far back
Early info over
Good ass playing I
Like that angle forward
I mean purple hasn't seen a damn thing over it long so they know it's be the rotating
Oh, they know where he is
We'll give the reveal over
We're looking back all
Many players low on health
But all five still alive the drop down the shots getting ready to come in
One be fine finding to an ace clutch does he have it in him
So low, but Sturgeon's got this shorty.
He's got the gap closed.
And Mates have the map.
They're taking a lead.
They're pick a pearl.
They're made of a win.
It's absolute madness.
No, we all thought Team Liquid is going
to try something different.
And they certainly did.
But it's just great recoveries, great reactions.
Martin gets to 30.
Beautiful for Mates.
It's there at the very, very end.
But that is just the beginning of this series.
We've got a liquid on find coming up next mates. Can they get it to zero? We'll find out. Oh
That's is a same something there
GG map one did you map one we go next
Also today started later today started a one hour later did you guys know that?
I only found out like right before I was going to go live. Shout out bang.
Tomorrow is also at 10 a.m. start time. Damn, I'm lucky.
EDGT1, SHILAGT2, tomorrow elimination. I always think the elimination games are better or like more fun to watch, right?
I was here looking at the stats.
30 kills to martin not skipping a beat
Not skipping a beat
I'd bang on this court I have him no
Bang I brother who there's a why do I have a bang on my friends as I've been talking to you. That's not you oh
Oh, it's 100 days, but I thought I thought you're the same person my bad
You're not 100 days bang what's what you said what
I'm holding on to straws here.
Hello.
Hello.
Chat, tell me something.
Something
Pierrex something I'm dating someone. What's the next map binds?
What am I eating for dinner?
I don't know.
Nats looks like FNX.
No.
What do I order for food today?
I think you should order some Mediterranean food.
If that's not an option, then I think you should order some fish tacos.
If that's not an option, then I think you should get yourself some Chick-fil-A.
If that's not an option, then I think you should get some sushi.
But that's also not an option, then I think you go for probably, um, probably just a Chipotle burrito.
Wow, I didn't, I'm hungry, huh?
I can keep going by the way.
I'm not going to say it again.
If you can't pay $5 for your haircut, you shouldn't be on Twitch.
I don't want to repeat myself, but I feel like I have to.
It's my birthday today and I had Chick-fil-A for lunch.
What does my barber do for a living? I tell you guys every time he's a plumber.
I feel bad for Turic. He's using all his third buns by now. Thank you.
I just wanted to ask you, how are you guys able to deal with their curveball, the new
comp, but more importantly, they're extremely speedy play style that a lot of teams
struggle against?
I mean we as a team develop a skill and something that makes us who we are and
that is that we're really good at problem solving so instantly when we saw
that they have a calm that they had be instantly talk about what we are gonna
expect. They won couple of rounds but like we were talking and talking so
like at the end we found the solution and yeah overall like we developed the
players to like think and not like just you know be ready to like climb
flip and like risk the round so yeah I believe that like we showed that
I can do this first man. Okay. Thank you so much. I'm good luck
Off the back of a monstrous performance from Martin ended up seeing the gentlemaid scoring a huge
There and that's actually gonna take it right what we wanted to talk about because
We have no idea what to expect out of this and to Paco's point
They needed to problem solve on the fly because you saw in that first round where those walls were starting to come in
Yeah, first time they just get locked out by this wall and you're trying to run through it
Well, it's slowing you clearly that isn't the way to try to play later on they adjust to play much more aggressive
Here's a piece of tech they used with the harbour ultimate where they go forwards into a use it to lock off
If you do try to push in this is a beautiful piece of theory
But then they run it again in round 10 and mates dismantled it showing that actually Team Liquid didn't have that many ideas
Here's them playing on defense side. I'm gonna show you Wayne's POV
He's got the Molly doesn't use it throughout all of this a9 fight just ends up dying by the flank coming around through art
I think Wayne was missing some opportunities here to go for value and when he defended on the B site
He's just kind of AFK here. He wants to play off site in order to wall and flood
But you have to play on site to get by from the Molly. I've got the stats
He went 13 and nine on attack. He went one and ten on defense. Wow. What a difference. Holy crap
I mean that's a substantial change once that harbor was being used on defense
It was just so easy for mates to every time that retake started plus started
They all just fought in front of it and they just man told them right honestly
I kind of want to be glass half full here though. Do you mean can I be positive?
Oh, you can be a positive Patty
I think the fact that the playbook was shallow with this harbor, but this was still a
1311
Team Liquid because once they got figured out Mates going to run, but he was still back close
Yeah, I have yeah pretty high hopes
But and that is also despite the harbor the fact that Martin had his best day
Well, I was gonna say so far. That was unbelievable from him. Yeah, that that's the thing right?
Yes, you did see a phenomenal showing and a bounce back from this gentleman team
But Martin has to right south map their wire. Yeah, even just going back to the other day when they debuted against EDG
Martin started slow. I know there were people out there in the Twitch chat. They were coming
because they expected him to come in dropping bombs like he was in the NBA. He wins that 1v1
crazy clutch. And then, yep, exactly. Josh is the problem. Yeah, he has all the counts.
He has all those accounts. But since he won that clutch, Martinez has been on a heater.
He has. And actually, he was the biggest part of you need to play forward. You have to play
in front of the harbour, you to like in front of the executes and play quick and he increased the tempo massively
He had all of that responsibility and he fulfilled it and that's a great
That is problem-solving and it's finest from General Mates because really when you bring out theory like that
You're supposed to win
Can they be into a map 3? I'm sure they can yeah, it felt like
First initial moments were happening. You could see the smiles on their faces, but then as the round
Look at the Binds. Oh, I'll see. We might have actually trolled ourselves here in some of these scenarios. I feel like it has some likes, but I'm just going to assume that it's a trend they made really recently, which is just why there's a lacking of density in the playbook.
I do have to say, I'm fortunate news. The good bun is always a classic. I remember Nats on triple. The streak is over.
Yeah, it's my narrow hole!
Oh man, you don't understand what he just did, Josh.
You have no idea. You can't appreciate it.
Anyway, let's go ahead and send it over to Lawn,
who's going to give us some details about what's ahead for Map 2.
Yes, that was awesome.
Here with Coach Lohan of Team Liquid.
Now, Coach, just quickly, Harbor and Viper,
it does demand a certain complex playstyle from the team.
So in regards to that, what is your assessment of what happened on Pearl?
I think it's a real group unfortunately just down to the details this game
Who they've won it, but let's go to bind and show them the real liquid
Liquid's buying throughout kickoff. I thought was utterly phenomenal. I think it's where we saw
Double-duelist aggro comp
I think those don't make a chance sides on bind is where they displayed their ability to slow down the game at the proper times
re-accelerate what necessary and
On defense it is one of the maps similar to if you'll watch freeze yesterday out there. They run it
They run it down
You and I hit that most
WrestleMania reference of all time. We are we're winning but I think I both of these teams have been a problem on bond
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say because I think my friend bro
So this is not gonna be
Performance interestingly enough team liquid have also got like a different from the use of the start love the brimmy is still winning with that
So they've just you know got from strength to strength
This is not home territory, but I don't think channel mates are gonna roll over here
Even if it does go to three, this should be a bonbon pressure is on here really for
Team Liquid, but you heard in the interview coach lohan. Why he was confident. Oh,
Absolute after going to their home home turf right right and butter and at that like I said
They're gonna continue this pair up duelist camo and mini-boo on defense are playing mega aggro the fight
I'm calling it down to fountain be long. That's the game plan
Who was the best so far? PRX?
I mean, the winner of this, I guess.
I feel like NRG still look good.
NRG and PRX look the best so far.
And then I think one of these two teams probably will crack that far as well.
They're gonna be getting hit by weird U2 combo plays dashes down into market from short
They have a whole playbook ready to go of just mental aggro stuff
Don't forget the top 1 team though
There's still 4 teams waiting
True
Yeah, BBL, who's in the top 4? BBL, all-gamers, Tyria
And uh...
Who's from APAC?
Or is it that scoreline? Excuse me. I'm so excited. I could barely speak. Let me go ahead and send it over to your casters
It's not a shame that's there better. Yeah, I'm sure is with a
We like to think so we certainly hope so as we give it a go into it could very well be another
Coyote Rv
To EMEA squad Pearl so very close to calling the distance to make it over time team liquid
I don't know how to mention that world, I only know RB on that scene.
Here we go.
When it comes to EMEA versus EMEA,
our team comes to play,
and he was absolutely lights out again.
Deep orb here, just gonna be a pickup though.
14 liquid.
Purple.
Find some damage there.
And starts up both of you get tagged up.
Ready to come through,
just gonna be way like double dashy in,
covering fire.
He will keep purple alive,
just get knocked down and hit me.
There's a trailblazer that's got for many doesn't say double he sends them to their graves 3v4 retake
Gonna be a hard one
3v4 for the retaking
Five in the position stars don't look at that second. It will be more team to collect it
That's all top top top top pistol goes away of mates
There's some of that just because the fasting little energy feels way lower. I think I didn't eat enough last night
But yeah, probably a little bit. Yeah
We almost take him out that would have been huge that sets up that extra angle for the retake
But instead it gets smothered out. He's holding that close angle right to where mini boo wants to slide on in
Dark so again. Yeah, I'm it's going on the beauty. Actually. I just remembered I do as well. So key, right?
Finding those big rules again
Martin
That plays being widely avoided just the one casualty does far
I
See you to chat but the question the only question I get a new to chatter doesn't read you to chat
They're likely to have already rotated over there. So we'll go over towards a
Long stack plant their feet
Give the plant for stars oh, yeah scenario here quite a bit of weaponry left over
I don't want to challenge it does have that shorty though. So who knows maybe he'll
Take the time on the approach spike now to be planted
Many good once again gonna be just gonna rotate all the way out. You can find a weapon there on the floor
This little grab up of that specter
We can put the use many first contact has that marshal around the corner ready for the key. Oh wow, right down
now check the corner, Tarso, so snapping that shot
any magic?
the massive punish, now just eyes on Wayne to see if he can
get some real damage, get some of the real weaponry out of the hands of mates
then he finds the timing on a good point, he's ready to spray
2-0 start here for gentlemen's
all right, that is totally fine as mates
keeping those two Bulldogs in the Phantom in, he needs to go
for a Vandal
I just stand up, I think I just stand up for this matchup
I'm gonna stand up, I'm getting highlighted
I'm going to my feet
This is where the real meat and potatoes
Meat and potatoes, it got me hungry again
Everyone's talking about food though
Everybody
Everywhere, Chick-fil-A, meat and potatoes
It's enough, man
Outside of hookah there
See if it's a challenge
Alright, bonus round for gentlemen
with that or this time we grab a bit on away from the strike not looking to get
caught by any straight spray I'll just take a suit and like smash my face into
dude now I want to pour this you want to my head is no I'm talking about or not
contact here at a couple of shots with that guardian any super enjoyers
Super Jaiers
I feel like it's hard to skip lunch now. That was really big. Oh my god
Liquid are
I
In plate mini gives him the ultimate in death two remaining players purple and that's have to go for a save
I was
For gentle you all fuck with lentils three zero start with a slice of lemon you guys don't know why
Space being given up at the front of a here. Oh my god
If that's trying to create that extra angle with that early identification of proposed position
Comfortable
Oh, I'm not carrying forward on this angle. I get would have been the same category as soup though
Looking for any kind of damage that he can get like a shooting. No
Magic my time on a oh, yeah
Nats the little soup soup is soup balls ball. Yeah, I
So good right now. Oh my god, okay. No more talking about food in the chat
Sockers team. Go.
And Desk was talking about it.
How good this map has been for Gentlemates.
Yes.
They have played it plenty themselves in EMEA.
Both teams currently on win streaks coming into this tournament.
So one of those is going to be shattered.
NRG Esports, Rockville League is crazy.
First one for Mates on...
Big win for Gentlemates.
In the long run every time.
So far so good.
Everybody getting involved in the fragging department.
Two for Mates. It's a team effort.
I'm just reading the map pretty well.
Quick decision to TP.
All right, now we're not going to mess you.
We're not going to mess you.
We're going to play a little bit more retake.
Still had control of showers, even though there
was identification of that position.
That gave Liquid.
I actually see a lot more messy.
Kind of an advantage on the out of A site.
That's a beautiful on-the-fly call again from Sarza, who
is the best use there.
All right, LeBron James or Michael Jordan, here's the go.
He is rolling with the punches.
He is getting his team in order, and like the coach talked about in the interview with Jen,
they're making adjustments on the fly.
And he, I see more MJ.
They're looking right at home here on the stage.
LeBrona is not even close.
No, I'm going to the chat.
From him on that opener, now off to the races.
He's zero and one on this asterisk.
Why is MJ versus LeBrona question?
Wouldn't that be a two-goat Sebastian ball?
Who else would be there?
And that's the great thing about him.
He's not a dog with Dungeon.
Who was that?
Oh my god, they're in their spawner, guys.
Oh my...
Wait, what the fuck?
Well, it checks out over towards that hookah and liquid is in there spawn every
round back pedals away. This is great. I mean, you've got many clearing space on the
other side of the map for you to give you the read that maybe bees gonna be a
better option here. And once again with that crunch coming in towards a you
suspect that there's more ninja or seafood still behind to go to for that.
It's a beautiful read from mates. Wayne has that all he's probably gonna have
to chew through it for another round.
And find a kill and maybe feel comfortable enough
to go for the investment of it.
Still, Martinez, a couple of flashes.
And he has his snake bites.
You've got a lot of ability to delay and hamper
any retake that's even thought about beyond just
sitting waiting for a stinger.
He was actually a cracked ass gamer.
I'm not going to lie.
If he might be the most talented guy I know.
Obviously, nobody home from team Liquid.
He lives in hard but true.
We have to come in seems like you can do anything now realize that they're on the wrong side of the map will start working their way across
Hey, it's gonna every no joke instead
Like we is going to require we three we take you'll make them feel comfortable enough to try to invest that orbital strike it at all
Travel didn't exist no, I meant like I feel like
I'll see out again to
Go back in front of the bike team liquid
See what that timeout was all about this is awfully concerning for liquid in a lot of different very concerning for liquid
Extremely on the back foot
of that the alt economy give me a high-oh cheeseburger very very healthy
damn dude for sure a full buy here behind that for weapons and everything is
flush they have a nightfall they have a convergent pass these kids you look at
a crackdown button bro I have no idea as review with the analyst say don't
blame me when the analyst said they were cracked on by now I think they were
I'm buying it.
I'll be a messenger.
You'll be three.
If Marcian 1v3's here, you'll be the MVP of this event.
If he 1v3's, you'll be the MVP. Mark my words.
Cup it.
You can make a goal of this.
You know that he's absolutely capable.
Finds the first.
What's the top team that he's out and now has to open a side
of the moment?
He's going to be playing for it.
Orb and Pence will be able to make this one happen.
Oh, my god.
Deep.
He's going to get the trick off one of the filter.
Where does he off to go?
Where does he off to go?
He's going towards short.
Oh, my god.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Brings the wearer for now. Wayne has the read
He's dialed in on the angle timing away. This could be a critical timing. It's Wayne firing off some shots
Oh my god, the timing. He's been on red. She's the first. The Orville striker to be called in.
Woo!
Popped an abuse. AES then allows him to get it up to half.
Interesting.
into the shot and it's all down to Nats.
We're going to commit into this one.
Turns away, it's taken so very low.
Oh my God.
Pulls open and Godly.
Margeene.
Brother.
Mane tames the win streak.
Margeene.
Mates, Margeene.
Holy shit.
That's how I'm having this crazy.
And it's the great power from Margeene
that gets this round into Mates' hands.
Gets that first kill, teepees out.
Wow, it put the clock so well.
It put the clock so well, Shad.
I don't know, was it good shot?
He let him get half.
He wants to get the clock going as far as possible, yeah.
So Nass is forced to like play those bets.
It's interesting, it's, yeah.
I think it was good low key.
What's happening here?
It's a second with a sheriff.
Is it the plot that we have found?
I don't understand what's going on.
I'm still talking about the blood.
It's not getting down, bro.
The viewers are trying to watch.
It just isn't working anymore.
How can I watch this game that's going for these battles?
It's being shut down.
That one got close.
But when I'm rolling the dice.
It's a positive game, dude.
It's coming up, Martín.
If I mate every time.
Liquid is race pushing.
Guy is just so safe so steady. Oh, and he catches purple trying to get out of there jumping
Oh my god
Here the Nats was talking about at the beginning of that has been gone for a very long time now
They are feeling they are
Trust me really, you know I'm gonna send them for liquid.
I do play a new brimstone though, I'm just saying.
That's all good.
I'll watch.
Go!
Oh my god, oh my god, god.
Wait, what's Martin's sense, Cheddar? Cheddar, what's his sense?
He'll try to make a go of something but no
Things better of it
Zero has to tuck away and hide and you can see the
1600 hold both time out
That point one two eight hundred. We're gonna have to see both of them expended here on bind
What on their homework?
Tl right now they are
0.5 he's on the complete office inside of the boards on point one
you're just you know this is one of the things that the analyst desk was
talking about before the batch how important that sands fight is for this
oh yeah he's the one on stage and they're watching and they're losing it
oh shit time and time again mates is setting up for the crossfire if they're
setting up for the anti I was I was actually 810 right there
counterpunching immediately once team
They fell that blood in the water these sharks are hungry
With all these alts here, you know, you can see some of the thought process some of the idea from liquid that maybe you want to get ahead of that a bit but
Full access to site
His name is nats brother. Here comes that time
What is he doing right there?
You know about him up like back man. What was that? What was that?
Move it back. I'll say it again
You're not winning anyway, so now I should go for this
14 liquid
Last one of the map and at this pace last one of the series
these gentlemen, so looking to get us back on track after that long opening first set.
It felt like to me coming into this match today that this was going to be a three map
really close affair, you know, they've never faced each other.
So maybe there are you watching music today on their map picks.
It's going to be really back and forth.
But you know, once mates have made the adjustment on 10 seconds behind sailing here a liar.
Nats is crushing out on his team. I'm not gonna lie.
Who's liquid replacement for this event? And do I have a chance?
Me and Jonah appear at package deals. I won't let them know.
Yeah. And another big problem you're having is you're constantly on weaker buys because of the way this has been going.
you're always in a round without a full purchase you're always with a guardian
you have a rifle this time you're gonna have a guardian a rifle a couple
sheriffs in a seven zero there's still rage pushing there's still rage
pushing I mean brother Wayne it gets to a point
going to be popped by Martin exploring into the A site spotting out Nats for the exit, Martin has a mouth shot.
Oh, shit. Martin put Nats down. No, that actually pissed me off too. That was just pissed me off.
Cano now gone. I'm losing Matt 4 Liquid.
Martin is ready and waiting to intercept.
When was the last time Terri was ready? Are you kidding me? What's my rate?
Noise being made.
143, Disgusting.
Best in the swing about to come through or they kind of funnel this one to go to our team.
That doesn't matter either way.
You don't have to take it three zero eight to zero on this match.
And our joyers today are running away with absolutely spanked.
The model did back to back ace this time.
Also like to wish you to have your birthday.
It wasn't the idea of birthday present.
I do something a little bit tricky sent out for them.
He's one of the best from out of Sands initially.
Wayne's going to sit through a little bit of that snake bite.
And he does catch a prize for that great. They're popping emotes on stage
Birthday who the fuck
Play their four mates
Investing a few of them to make sure that NASA's a problem. That's going to birthdays today Ethan's else's pink
In short a lot of birthdays today
Comfort on the ace
Take many down it long at sand so okay critical feels like first
First bloods that they've really been able to get
Inspire, what are you doing here at this time, brother?
Are you playing trials?
A little bit of annoying
Inspire?
Inspire's stacked up just outside of hookah, but looks like they're gonna slowly drift away
Supposed to be together, I mean...
Inspire, if gentlemen's win 13-0 here, you're rebranding back to BBJ. Deal?
I'm literally doing nothing wasting away in ranks. What do you think I'm doing?
I wasn't watching this, I'd be wasting away the same way brother.
Oh, not mad.
No access!
No!
I said no!
That's the first go.
I was in cloud there, too, for purple.
My goodness.
Great read from NAPS, expecting that TP to come in,
spraying around the corner, knowing
that somebody's probably coming at him with a shorty close up.
Hold up!
And he can shoot him with a punch.
Hold up.
It ain't over yet.
OK.
It ain't over yet.
Here, here are your ideas.
Still have a lot of holes to try to work with.
Exactly.
That's what I'm looking for.
I want to see some combos here.
that convergent pass to take space. You can use the cosmic divide as well.
The post plant setup, the viper's pit.
You're just being patient. You need to watch.
Liquid is.
After all, really holds, Viper holds for the last one.
So you have to be here.
We go that at the very least.
Let some time tick down here.
We blow it. Go.
One, two, five.
As we provide the conversion pass to catch onto one,
plenty of the people forward catches,
bit of completely off guard considering going through the side.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
That's setting up long range volley there.
Please forward seeing Glyph, you're on the side.
Counting the fight with Glyph comes out on top.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
The gentleman's will not allow for Liquid to wiggle their way back into this.
Interesting interesting interesting
I don't know I didn't mean to force the fight because the team wanted to fight
I don't know he forced it he forced it for sure
I'm not sure why
Let's be gentle let's be gentle the other thing let's be gentle all that team liquid gets it's an interesting chance
more maids answers right back
The first time we're seeing a little bit more showers aggression since early on
I'm gonna do with the operator
Let's be gentle let's be nice. Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't really roll off the tongue that well
We are gentle we are mates now still
theoretically possible
Alone for now
You get him clean
Get the pit you get the plant
Then soul mates. Yeah, that makes sense. It could just be job mates
It's the spot there's the slide away pushes forward into the tube the teleporters. It's kind of a cool orgining. No getting corralled
He's out. Splash not confirming anything in Glyp, he's gonna be struck out as Wayne finds himself a fourth, so flawless round here for Team Liquid.
Much needed, especially off in play. Gonna be eyeing up a three to nine half.
The mates are not gentle right now, good one. It's not him.
The Wayne show here. Those bullets coming through, steps into it. Urge your pass there. Kind of unnecessary.
It's okay, because you've got the round win and you need to get him where you can, and he will have his ult as well.
Remember how it nice destroyed Zeno's on mine?
It's three years liquid. Say there's hope.
Remember how...
I might not have been...
I just counter-mini-boot.
Smoked right in his face though.
Zeno's blazer, leading forward, camo.
Leading in deep on the angle, likely going to be taken under practice.
Yes, absolutely. Astus is being dragged from behind.
Pick up, look into the dive in, sets up with that saturate.
Wow.
Scales forward Dylan. Wow, man. We are so good.
We'll be able to find stars though. Oh my god brother.
Right over there. Swiftly come in.
He's tanking the snake by tanking the little horrible.
That's nuts. He's got the shorty out since I don't want it to happen a second time.
That's a save. No, that's not wrong.
Makes his exit back to the front of sight.
Now two people are getting their bases.
The elements are actually cracked.
Oh
Not
3 with the time bleeding away the stars set up for the grab well
They are looking to make this absolutely
impossible for him from showers will fall by the time is just gone
Why do you like to put a fight on it's not to be put up a fight
The three cannot find the win cannot get liquid that's third round win
It's tend to do with mates well out in front 10 to does anyone believe does anyone believe in a comeback?
Just be honest. It's fine top to bottom
Everything they're doing here this little bait and switch you're doing to set up the op beautiful this double-tool
From the pistol from the outset we're gonna go to the half-time break when we come back
We'll see if liquid can run this one back in their favor at what points is
Are the mates start a tweak out at what point are the mates worried? It's 10 to
10 6 10 7
10 5
10 5 they're worried
And 7 I like 10 7
I
Stopping here
Okay
I don't know how to play this game.
This map might not be as close as we in the 10s here in the arena would like, but they are still energetic.
still entertained.
The question is
can liquid find this opening pistol?
Trying to begin an ungodly run back on this map.
What?
It is a lot, a lot to ask of liquid.
But not counting them out just yet.
All right, time to see it.
I still feel like there's gas in that tank.
Silence gonna have to dig really deep deeper than they ever have
Wherever you can get it look at this
Set up when you get to the map here. Yeah four players in hookup four mates like just four mates
Anti, you know death ball essentially
just trying to catch
Liquid in a trap, but I don't think liquids even considering that direction. This looks like an a hit all the way
This is end up being a death ball through the teleporter trying to get on that flank very quickly
Now
Stars up alone fast lane
Put a box job on that one and camo
What's the other kill?
Oh the bullet shadow, shelly it's just broken his neck. Oh no
That's now trying to hold the flank set up the snake bite to delay
Martino big flank that will be aware for that spike to now get planted give him the plant but like you say martin
through cave that's his reddit
at least the possibility
oooh, gnats
shut him down
oh gnats
4v4
really playing forward onto the site
very deep position
didn't fall this could end up getting very complicated
4 team liquid in the boast plant
spot out many snaps on
finds the headshot purple trying to find him from
top of the box cannot
Molly still there for the delay house is in pit folks could have given his life to hold it up to half
Liquid do they realize this is going to be my question. I'm probably still able to find one. That's now
Well taken out but Stardust does not have the time
Bullets and team liquid. Oh my god
Okay
That broom Molly by so much time. I can't exactly what the doctor ordered
Get into that post plant. That's very aware of the lurks of the flakes
fails liquid out of this round what a kill for start so again I mean they're
going at this guy I strive the neon with the Lele and he's handling it so so
well let's go let's fucking go some energy they believe I could believe I'm
here they needed yeah
it's fired up massive lead but still not gonna be singing in the forest by
here from mates in cheeky just classic shorty for starts up oh my god
recovery is here
Everyone's here
I can't get a break and it's simple
That's play behind the time that's great. So wait for the commit from liquid. That is big sales and then explode through off the
Flash
He's gonna use my gentleman smoke that viper wall back and he gets one he gets out his criminal
Martin talks into that smoke on the box is it accounted for? Yeah
I'm not gonna lie stars. I was talking there with the shorty to claim look they know like we just rushed the size
They're just running in sponge. I see this. That's how I play ranks. This is w the size. She's rotate from spawn
Just that for here now
This whole W. They just rush
So cute right now, but so far it's just not going their way
Just meat grinder round after round gentle mates
They're striking a pose because they are poised to head into the playoffs.
Beautiful.
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
Beautiful
The whole map has been anti
They have
Got liquid in a point camera was playing like war on my leg. Oh, no, why is war catching this way?
Mates from defeating them here
Sending them back down into the wall. What a shot
Purple clean with that even if he didn't get him pretty sure many people would have
I
Starts over here
Here's the teleports and that's got to live point inside of showers
Mobile object in showers
And he might just be able to find an ace of his own like forsaken before him to close out the series
He's not playing for the ace playing to win. Respects.
It's a spot out lane, will fall, the ace has to be had.
But the victory is theirs.
Once again, Stasso gets the better of Nats.
What a game, bro.
That's gentle, Nats.
Once they're taken forward into the playoffs.
This was stellar.
I am so impressed with Nats.
and to take away the math that has been the best for Team Liquid and to absolutely
destroy them. They stomped them. 13-3. What a statement. There's a floor. No
chance. Twin streak for them with Bind so far this year. Sure there's been plenty of
13-3s for Liquid but they were always on the winning end when they took down
by touting with that same scoreline. This is a brutal beatdown.
gentlemen's are the real deal and you got to be feeling so good about mate's
chances now because here brothers is both your man team has hit that dude come
on man I'm just putting up numbers that are jaw dropping that are record
breaking he did it in the MDA now he is doing it in Santiago look out I do I
I would not want to face this team.
The boys in pink are absolutely deadly.
And whoever they square up against,
they should be shaking in their boots.
This is a squad of 2B fear.
This is a squad that is difficult to prep for.
They're willing to scrap with you.
They are willing to just run it down.
This guy's fired up.
Trust in their aim.
And the adjustments they made, so good today.
just to tip of the cap to the coaching staff of the IDL.
The way that they're able to navigate some really rough stuff
on Pearl into a beautiful Auntie on Vine.
Great job, Baco.
Fantasticly done.
Check the stats.
And he has shot the Baco, the coach there.
But let's go ahead and send it down and hear from our winners
in the MISEN post-match interview.
Damn. Damn.
Yeah, my team's been nuts.
You know, I think I gained a lot of experience, you know throughout my life. I was crying, you know, I had depression
I was having fun. I was winning everything and now I think I have everything to win
Especially I have these boys next to me and these fans this crowd is amazing. I just love you guys, you know
Thank you so much
with your team that are also incredible and that you guys are definitely here
They didn't surprise us, you know. It just took us a little bit of time to adapt.
We adapted, they didn't change anything. I think they ran out of the rounds, you know.
We started having good read against them and it went smooth afterwards.
Nice.
I like it, I like it.
I like it, I like it, I like it.
I like it, I like it, I like it.
So now for my last question, you're heading into playoffs, right?
Do you have a team in specific or a player that you want to face off?
I mean, yesterday we were supposed to play Paper X, you know?
I'm not saying anything, but this is a team that I'm looking up to, you know?
I think they have really good playstyle.
I love this playstyle, you know? That's what you had with Ascent, you know, really explosive.
I think I can beat them.
Okay, I like that.
And well, I asked him who he would like to face in Playoffs.
He said definitely to Paper Rex,
because they have a similar style,
a little bit more aggressive than what they had to do.
And that it would really be amazing to face him.
Thank you very much for this interview.
This is all we have for today, ladies and gentlemen.
That's awesome.
Stay tuned tomorrow, because we're coming back
with some good, really good ballerina.
Jesus, Jesus.
That was great.
Oh my God.
Oh my god. That's it for today chat. The matches I've been starting one hour later, so tomorrow's
game's elimination. EDG vs T1 followed by Sheila vs T2. That is gonna do it for me today. If you
want to listen to Martín on the desk please do head to the main stream. Tomorrow's hype!
So as I said nobody's watching tomorrow, what do you mean? Tomorrow's very hype, EDGT1
elimination and the Xilai G2 is probably not that hype, but if G2 somehow, I mean I
don't think G2 will have a problem with Xilai. I think there should be a warm-up
for them hopefully or a confidence boost. EDGT1, I think G1 will probably
win after what we saw, to be honest. But hopefully China can turn it around
because it's been a little bit grim this event.
With that being said, Kat, I love you guys.
I appreciate you guys.
Resident Evil, I said I may or may not play it
after the watch parties are done.
Let's see, let's see.
