discretion is advised.
Trap on those bloody life jackets, because it's sink or swim here in Master Santiago.
Four teams!
their play-up lives on the line and I personally cannot wait to see who's gonna
stay afloat in the lower bracket I'm over and my questions to you mean you
could cook it what you go to floatation device when those surging ties get
too high just just swim that's what I hope the teams do today just lock in and
swim buddy you don't need a life jacket I like what I have when I was a baby
it's like an egg that you strap to your back and that's why you how I
at least learned to swim so I'll go for that one because you don't really
have to do anything well be a baby and just having close to you at least
That works indefinitely. I personally couldn't swim indefinitely. I don't know if any of these teams can either.
Oh, I certainly couldn't, but I thought that being a swimmer, you're gonna have to know how to swim.
I'm sorry, I don't know what this is about.
Why don't we have a big leg first? We just stand on solid ground. Are you a VCT knower though?
Don't forget to get involved with some live predictions over the course of this weekend event
using Shotcall on the stream. It's a fantastic little addition we have to the stream.
You might even win something. So keep an eye out for that. Get on the Twitch extension
and make your predictions known here up until March 15th for the rest of this event.
Let's now turn our attention and set the stage here.
Let's have a look at our bracket as it stands here at Masters Santiago
because we are getting to the pointy end of things.
We have our upper final locked in.
That's going to be happening later on this week,
but we need to look to the lower bracket because again,
there are two teams that will be bowing out of the competitions.
Yeah, and expectations I think are a little bit different,
but just bear in mind both VaporX and G2 played yesterday.
also the stakes were having that break and going into playing in a couple of
days or facing an elimination today. So things are different.
It's cool matchups because it's two teams that have been mainstays of this
stage of VCT international tournaments G2 and Pay-Per-X and then it's two teams
that are completely new, complete rookie rosters who have an opportunity here
to beat out one of those greats and make top four at their first ever
event. Yeah if I wasn't already clear of course it is gonna be G2 versus
the first game, then paper X and all the gamers after the fight. I don't really have
any idea of how these games are going to go. And I think if you think you do, you're delusional.
So it does feel appropriate then to kick off our show with a bit of blind ranking in this
game. We're going to rank the performances of our players without knowing who is coming
next. I assume. You're familiar with this format. Yes, we are a lot. I think nervous
about it. It always goes poorly, but see what you got. All right. Blind rankings.
jump in and start with their first play that we need to decide where they go and
that first player is none other than Forsaken. One or two. One or two is a
tough question. I would put him to leave room. Leave room for what? I'm trying to
think for players I could argue putting Amada above right now in that upper
ground. That's the first player that comes to mind for me but it's
flexibility it's so tough. Yeah I think that Forsaken in groups one
Because they can hear it too so not one flood.
I said one.
I said one.
I said one.
I almost said it all out and I changed my mind.
We are starting playing rankings and we've already taken up the number one spot.
You're going to regret this so much.
He was sending me for a reason.
I might get it again.
Why not?
Forsaken has been locked in at number one.
Okay gang that's fine let's move on to our next player here.
They are Lovers Rock.
Lovers Rock.
Okay he's excellent but we cannot overrate him.
I don't think.
I think there is a lot of players, not a lot, but there are a few players that I would put higher than him.
I'm thinking like four to leave space. You know, he's a rookie. He kind of underperformed in the last match as well.
I'm going to say four.
Does he get any bonus for this out-of-the-world mewing performance he's putting on with this photo?
I would say that actually knocks him down, if anything.
I have a claim in 3.5, but if you're... yeah.
Okay, four.
Four.
I'm okay with living space because we're already locked in number one.
We're going to round off. That's fine.
You got two players locked in, our third player will be, you guessed it, it's your boy, Mada.
Number two, he's absolutely excellent MVP of Champions in Paris, he's been playing great
in the first block.
Oh my god, he...
In my mind too.
Okay, that was fair, that's fair, that's fair.
How did I think Mada...
Because he was excellent all of that tournament in here as well.
And I'm thinking...
No, I'm thinking three, because what if we get Dambi?
Dambi?
What if we get Dambi?
Dambi's three.
No!
I see Mada three.
higher but he is less tested we've only seen a new game shot of him.
Yeah but this is too international.
This is just this tournament I think it's a disservice to not save a potential
spot for Dambi because as he said first time in an international and a global
event and we can say it's clear. I feel strongly Dambi tier. If you want to
break the time, sorry Dambi 3 rather. You want to put moderate, I mean
that's all you want to put moderate too? I do. All right fine. I think my
finger off the tail is right. So that's what it is.
Next player. Oh, this is a my goodness. This is a spicy one. It's your boy. He got the dog in him. It's your I think we put him
Five. Yeah, I think that he's been having a lot of up and downs with the
Currimata and the things that we're seeing
I think that he's being tested a lot because of the ages I use been playing
I think that he's brilliant in things like the Phoenix and whatnot
Your husband having great performances and how G2 is adept into everything that's coming to them
But again, if Dambi is here just in case he is
I love that you guys are so funny. You are like preparing for the potential of if I was drafting a team
I would put I would pick jaw above lovers rock
But if I was reflecting on current form and performance this tournament, I would put lovers rock above jaw
So I'm okay. I'm reasonably happy with that
So here's our final player that you guys would have seated and somehow you've guessed it because he is all the rage right now
It is Dumbie and I assume we're okay with number three. Yeah
I would have still put it at 2, but I am not terribly mad at this.
Yeah, I feel super close between Dambi and Mada and Forsaken for those top 3 spots.
Are you serious?
I'm not giving Dambi the second it's like...
Do you guys think that Forsaken at number 1 is reasonable now that we have this whole...
I do think so.
Again, if I'm approaching this as like drafting plays, he's just so flexible.
Everyone else in that top 3, everyone else in the rankings period was a duelist player
who is in positions to frag.
Forsaken is playing every different role.
He's eye-gilling for his TF and he's still the most impactful individual on PaperX.
There's no one else like him at this tournament.
To me, it's an easy number one for Forsaken.
There you have it.
There's our blind rankings of your favorite players.
Who do you guys think deserves to be in this ranking?
Or do you agree with ours?
Hashtag masters, our veteran masters over on social media level.
So what do you think?
For now, we're going to head down to Belina on the floor who's out there with the
fans.
Hi guys, welcome to our day 10 of Master in Santiago.
I'm gonna go really quick asking everyone what are their predictions for this first match.
You heard it here guys. Let's
Let's see what's gonna happen in that first match. So back to you.
I mean, judge the side, this is generally a very compelling matchup, and I would like
to hear what you guys all think at home as well.
Not only with the hashtag battle at Masters, but the QR code on the screen will take you
to our MasterCard fan poll.
We want to know which region you're rooting for, EMEA, Pacific, China, or America's?
Is C an option?
I would vote C.
Yeah, it's not.
Oh, you mean CS and C.
I think you meant CS and not the letters.
I was like, option C, we have one of those.
No, I follow it, yeah.
I mean, to be fair, people being put under pressure down there
on the floor in terms of giving their predictions,
I think they did a great job.
So, shout out to you guys.
The other people I want to shout out,
some of BBL's individuals in their match against Furia,
they really stepped up.
We're going to get into the nuts and bolts
of what to expect in this matchup,
and BBL kind of dominated up against America's number one
C.
Yeah, we've been talking about the individuals,
and there is no weak link in terms of firepower
for this BBL roster.
At the end of the day, it is a full Tarkis roster.
We are very used to this in EMEA,
but seeing it here in the global stage
is a different thing.
Loita Stepinabl, Lerog,
bouncing back in so many of these matches,
Lover's Rock in the impression that he's causing
with the confidence that he has.
In both the matches that went to Maftree,
the PBL played at this tournament,
I think it's inarguable that they let it slip,
had some rounds where they made mistakes,
and it ended up going to overtime.
But what impressed me in both those games
is how quickly they reset and found new creative ideas in overtime
and how much the individuals stepped up in those positions to, versus Fiora, close out and avoid elimination.
Yeah, we're seeing the stats there from Krogeren, and I think that was one of the reasons why Fiora was put in such an uncomfortable position.
We have been talking about how the Cypher, you know, is very used for them because they use it almost everywhere
and how we expected some teams to be ready to battle against the utility, to find him when he goes on those lurks.
But he was finding so much success early,
going to the victory.
It felt like he'd really strong side, you know,
one half of the map on a base or on Haven, for example,
and have like that Cypher just really locked down
Ceylon Haver and Krevins' lurk timings
when he had to get involved in the fights
were really heads up.
It felt like Feria always felt like they were under
a bit of a clock.
But something that definitely stood out to me
was that Lover's Rock has been one of the most
confident players I've ever seen in Valorant.
The way he speaks, the way he talks about
his expectations for the game,
I'm quite sure his conversation here with Jim Lee was no exception, but let's listen to it.
Jan Yair with BBL's Lovers Rock now. Lovers Rock G2 are a very structure team with strong macro.
You guys thrive and fight, so is your plan to break them with firepower today?
What are you planning to do with Firepower today?
We don't have such a plan and I found this question really funny.
I'm really curious about the person who wrote this question.
I think it's more funny than just Firepower.
They have a good macro and we have a good macro.
It will be a good match today.
I hope our victory will be a match.
The confidence is there and Luffy's Rock is talking some, yeah he's so sick.
But he's talking about the fact that he feels they're not just a fire power team, but that
they're also a very smart team and I have a Telestrator to break down some of that in
particular focusing on their defense side of macro and how they play around the Cypher
choice that has become very unusual in this tournament after his nerfs.
If you've forgotten Cypher is an agent who provides information even though the
The trips don't really do a ton to saw hits anymore.
So I want to take a look at some of their rounds on defense.
The last time they played Breeze into Furia.
And the value these trips are getting
with their double duelist composition.
If you look at this round, Furia is all grouped up here
towards a lobby.
They're looking to just do a pretty quick hit
in this direction.
And while there's only two players on A,
the beauty of BBL's comp is that they have so many
players who can almost immediately react and rotate.
And what the cipher allows is that you can over-rotate
without the risk of giving up space.
Let's look back at the mini-map in this round.
The neon is flying over towards the AV link
and is able to float to quickly rotate in A,
quickly rotate over towards C,
or just stay B if the hit comes in there.
We also have our Yoruba player,
posted towards long lovers rock, watching this angle.
But he's essentially in two places at once
because he'll be able to pop onto that gate crash,
go over to the A side almost instantly.
So, as soon as this hit starts to come in for Fiora,
you'll notice PBL, start this round with two players on site.
Loita up on an off angle and immediately they lose a player.
But let me pause here.
Remember, we started with two
and look who's here already.
Running into the site is the Neon of Lora.
Up towards Heaven is that Yoru from Lover's Rock.
They are so fast to react
and they are so good in these big team team fights
When they are in these brawls, they're almost always successful.
You see it here swinging together towards long, getting the pick.
They clean up this round.
It's scary that they can do that, because in a lot of circumstances,
you see they're over-rotating.
OK, we want to lurk it.
But the problem is always those trips, which means quickly rotates.
We'll come back the other way.
Let's say you want to break those trips.
Great idea, right?
This is the very next round in that same game.
And as I fast forward a little on the minimap,
I want you to watch in garage.
This time it's only a solo sova towards this A site and instead is this yoru posted in garage holding down with the operator
Essentially defending this trip
G2 or rather fury is gonna go for a play here in timid to attempt to get space in garage
They really want to break this utility default around force that over rotation and then execute
But the second that they swing into this operator
You'll see that lovers rock gets that pick defends the trip wire and puts his team at an advantage
You need to break these strips and deal with this utility
However, BDL is a team that is so good at varying their defense
Masking where their duelist players are behind that utility and being hypermobile in how they call on that side
And you also should know that they love this dry picks
They also love to be in this position
But I also love Mimi how the two rounds that you picked and how the plays move around also highlight
something that we were touching up upon and it's the fact that Kevin is such a
good supportive teammate with all that utility also gives them that freedom if
the TP from Euro goes out it doesn't matter because if he hits the shot he
also has the trip to prevent the push from the other team so it's great to
see that this is the macro that they've worked on. I feel like I had to
agree with Lover's Rock and they're not just a you know a firepower based team.
It's a really elegant macro that seems to have put them in great positions in
so many of these games. Now after an up-and-down series against NRG the
Rock had a statement game against Furia. Now, apparently he's going up against one of his idols.
Kukuku, what's the tea or what's the lore behind this, uh, LOROX story?
So I bumped into Beirut in backstage, and I was like, oh, what is it if you if you play against PBL?
And he told me that they were doing the Jersey Swap in the hotel with LOROX,
and LOROX told him that that one baby babe was in face. He used to watch him use to
steal a lot of the things that he did, and he really looked up to him.
So when we speak about the youngsters here in the tournament,
LaRocque is not the youngest, but is the second youngest after X-Ross.
And Baby Bay is the oldest player that we have here at the tournament.
So it's so cool to see that their respect is actually coming both ways.
LaRocque respects him as a figure and looked up to him.
And Baby Bay has to pay a lot of respect to the youngster.
In that game against Fury, it was also Lovers Rock, the other duelist for BBL,
who had a bit of a rough per game.
That was so impressive how LaRocque stepped up,
was getting a ton of kills on the entry for his squad.
was so confident, even in this super high pressure match that went all the way to overtime.
He's been incredible for this BBL roster, and now an opportunity to play against his idol
and try and beat him. You know that would mean the world for him to get to do that today.
And I expect him to still be getting up on his feet, still talking plenty of trash,
because that definitely seems to be a part of the identity of this BBL team.
We know G2 love a bit of banter themselves.
But speaking of LaRocque, here he is in our HyperX player moment with some more reflections
on BBL's loss to G3.
We played against Energia, and we could have had a better performance in the match.
We were saying that we were not lucky, but we had more chances to win.
And we could have played better in this match.
sort of seen that already from them through Americas, but what are your thoughts on those two specific
pips on those maps? I think what G2 is trying to go for here is in a similar vein to NRG,
not playing necessarily the optimal comp, but one that they feel is exploitative and strong
against the meta. Harbour, for example, is very good into a double-dulless composition where
flood retake is great because his wall slows players pushing through it and makes it harder
to find a theft and it's also excellent at shutting down offers and you look across to that iso as well
And he has great tools to some of try and counter some of those things so it's very different than an RG
I think they have the same goal in mind of finding these exploitative cops against the matter
It's a good mix between like the stalling power that you can have with both the iso and the harvore
I also think that the code especially with how much spam again across the mugs we see in the game
It runs you a lot of different tools
Yes, maybe against the notion. It wasn't easy to see just because Dambi
But I like to see that there are thinking of tools to stop things around and go up against this double duelist because it's
Most of the things that they're going to find in the tournament
Yeah, we're very likely to get that a miss today as well
I think in the veto and I feel like this harbor called these really good into the style
The DBL like to play on their defense. They love those fast-aggressive rotates trying to immediately get back into the site
They love all things well. All of these things are great direct counters to what their opponent is looking to do and now that you're talking about abyss. Do not forget all the fakes and how they were trying to play with your opponents minds. How they were playing also and how the harbor helps having that support over mid to fight up against your opponent.
There was a baby going solo to the B-side quite often and trying to pull people into time in general.
Let's hear what's on Jorgamo's mind today in this catch-up of course, but they're very un-gently.
Oh, but Jen here with Jorgamo of G2. Jorgamo, your opponents today, BBL.
They are a team that constantly looks for fights, so when it comes to their tendencies,
How much disruption do you think they're gonna cause or when it comes to you guys playing your own game?
I mean, maybe the old G2 would get caught up a little bit like pure
Actually, you know being able to stop us like that is one thing. I think BBL
We have the opportunity to stop them where they need to be up. So yeah, all right. Thank you so much and G2 better than BBL
Now G2 certainly had their work cut out for them going up against Dambi
but Leaf in particular seemed pretty happy to step up to that challenge, step up to that plate
and be the one to provide the stopping power against that neon pace.
Yeah, I think that in maps like Abyss and maps like Split, we saw it time and time again,
the support that he was granting, the energy as well on that last map.
When things were not going well, I think that his snake bites were, he was so incredibly quick
and you need to be a right to try and separate the aggression that is coming your way.
I think that he was definitely supporting also in the, in the way that they were feeling.
I'm impressed me in this game from Leif wasn't necessarily just his his aim and mechanics
But he's positioning and the way that he was setting up against this very fast duelist team
In-nong-shim Red Force and that goes back to the theme of Leif as a player
He's a guy who doesn't spend a huge amount of time grinding ranks playing the aim trainers
He likes watching bots instead and trying to really take a brainy approach to the game and looking at a meta where there are teams
that play such aggressive and unique styles. A lot of the time, the best way to beat them
is in thinking about what is the best way I can position myself. Where can I get an advantageous
fight? Because if you take an even fight against Stombi, you lose. And Leaf wasn't putting himself
in those positions. It feels like they're kind of cerebral player that's very good at shutting
down star players on the other side. That's definitely seems like his secret weapon.
Now Furia in that game against BBL, do you feel like they've exposed any weaknesses or gaps
in BBL's attack. Obviously it was a series that at times was quite competitive. Is there
anything G2 can take away from that series that they themselves can try and abuse?
Definitely right, especially on Breeze we saw it when you're speaking about the attack.
We speak also about the way that BBL likes to take on those fights. And the operator
was the name of the game for Fury here on Breeze. Not one, sometimes two, even three
to shut them down trying to isolate those fights and not giving them a chance to
say anything about it.
Yeah, BDL splits their dualists on attack more than any other team at this tournament.
They love sending the bullfunt individual missions,
and I think that's especially obvious on their face and on their breeze.
And in both these maps, Fury had a great game plan to fight into those solo players on the extremity,
be it with multiple players swinging, or with just an operator holding.
And to me, that's the key.
If you're letting those dualists alone get away with taking tons of space into you,
it's going to be a wonderful position for Rose to call the macro from.
if you're AWPing them and pushing them back and forcing them to use early utility,
it makes it so much harder for BBL to execute on their style.
We have high expectations for BBL, especially coming in from EMEA,
but now the fact that G2 has seen this things and has seen how teams that they know very well,
like Fiora and Energy counter them, I think that they should have, you know, be taking some notes.
All right, well, these two teams are pretty similar,
Matt Paul's actually, so that makes this even more compelling.
Let's jump into our Matt Bido for our first game of the day.
Okay, so this is the map selection for G2 against VBL because G2 actually came later from the upper bracket to the lower bracket
You have the advantage of choosing to be team A or team B. Team B. Team B
So G2 team B, VBL team A, VBL starts vaning on that.
We even bind. Bind, ban for G2, pro
pro
map pick for VBL
We pick Haven, Sidon Haven for G2.
Attack, MAP pick for G2, Breeze. Breeze, Sidon Breeze for VBL.
Defense on Breeze, Defense. Ok, last set of bands. We start with VBL. You have Abisco Rod and Split.
Banco Road, Banco Road, less than 42 you have Abyss and Split.
Ban Split, so Abyss is the decider side on Abyss for BBL.
Attack on Abyss.
Attack on Abyss. That's it.
Good luck, have fun.
Good luck.
Right, seems like this map pool I've been talked about,
they've got a pretty similar overlap these two teams.
It's a map pool that kind of doesn't really disfavor anybody in this series.
But I think the fact that G2 is coming in as a high seed means this is dreamy for them.
They like banning the vine, it's a perma for BBL.
Their Corrodes looked weak, BBL doesn't like playing Corrodes.
Those two were guinees to G2.
and looking at the three maps ahead of us,
I think it is advantageous to G2.
I see two maps, the Haven and the Abyss,
where I think G2's slightly off-beat compositions
are a great stylistic match into BPL.
And then we have a breeze, where BBL's coming off
of a pretty brutal loss to Furia,
and it's solid for G2.
And speaking about Furia,
this is the same maps that we saw against them.
So for the side of the preparation,
if we were speaking for G2,
they should have a niche on that realm.
Also, you were speaking about Haven
and how BBL plays their macro on the defense.
Probably G2 was paying very good attention to that
because their response is to start on the attack.
And I think it is a great moment
to show the same thing that they did against T1.
After having a devastating first half
where they went two and 10, they turned things around.
And I have to highlight in that specific map,
Jogmo and Trent, and the fact that
the way that they were taking garage cons
and using the Phoenix utility and the fade combined,
I think that that suits them very, very well.
the double flash composition, having the Phoenix in the room,
I think is excellent into GBL's defense.
It gives you tons of tools to push Loverhawk's AWP off the line,
and it gives you a lot of tools to take space like Garage,
where you're gonna be wanting to deal with that Cypher utility
and break those trips.
So it's not quite double drone,
but G2R trying to build compositions
that answered this double duelist meta.
Instead of droning an AWP contact angle off,
they just use flashes to try and believe into that space.
So if we see them try and fight for Garage
and clear that Cypher utility, it feels like
They still got the tools to do that even if it's different to their regional counterpart for sure
I think this is a great stylistic match for G2
I think they can come in with excellent prep
But I felt the same way against Nongshim and Nongshim when it came down to the wire when it got close
They outshot them they had more big individual moments and while I favor G2 in this match
I think there's a risk of the same happening today against a BBL who's been
Excellent in those big moments. Yeah, and individual moments also when we take a look at the second map
and we think about Breeze we were speaking about the others. I love it because we prepare this entire thing
speaking about this maps and the highlights and we ended up going to those places. Speaking about the
Breeze also and Redemption, baby I think that with the operator and what not what we were discussing
has to be the edge for G2. The thing about Baby Alice that any of the players can be a highlight
and can be the difference player. Now earlier we asked which region you're rooting for now
a mastercard fan poll. Of course, the results are in. So let's see exactly where you have
put your votes here folks. Remember, you can always get involved in this conversation with
hashtag VALORANTMASTERS, but we have 57% of you backing Pacific. And if I've seen the
conversation on Twitter, I'm not surprised to see it dominated by Pacific fans.
Pacific fans do well online. Yeah. You should give people X and nonchip. Like for this
event, you should be settled. And I think that if it was me, I would have
built it the same.
Now, it's time for everybody to put their money, or at least their credibility,
We have the classic all game is
pick here, but generally, which I
do respect, but most of us
definitely on the paper. Rex
side. It's an even split down
a middle between BBL believers
and G two fans to come in. You
guys are on opposite sides of
the table in that prediction.
Yeah, I think that it was very
50 50 for me. I didn't know
where to lean exactly because
I do believe in the capacity
of G two to bounce back and
actually beat them and learn
a lot from the things that
back and actually beat them and learn a lot from the things that BBL have doing that some of the teams have not shut down
But at the end of the day the individuals for BBL make me want to believe I think that with the momentum is in their side on their side
If they learn to not overheat like the other day, they can have the edge
It's another big pressure match for BBL. It's another match where I think their opponents will have a good stylistic read on them
But they've performed in those scenarios already taking down Fiora the same against NRG
nearly beating that squad. I think G2's favorite, but BBL is so resilient.
It certainly feels like it's a matchup for the nerds. Two distinct styles are going to
be battling it out here. And frankly, the balance of power in Valorant is ever-shifting.
Now the Rock has the chance to turn his idol into a rival. Like we said, a clash of ideas.
It's a clash of regions. A clash of generations. G2 versus BBL starts right now.
It's the young, hot-headed outfit from EMEA that took the region by storm, going up against
The mainstay, the consistent factor, the team that's been close, but never quite enough to step into the limelight where it counts, do or die now for G2 and BBL, they best leave it all out there.
Two teams, two different tiles, and one last chance to survive in the lower bracket. On one side we have a G2 that is carrying the weight off their reputation, build on structure, discipline and control.
But on the other side, we have a BBL that relies on that great macro and even greater individuals.
Confident to look and face into every duel, but G2 might be a different opponent today.
It's one of the youngest teams that we've ever seen show up to a BCT global event.
Five rookies that grinded through everything together.
I guess the team who did that years ago had that same journey from Ascension of Slowly
made changes and upgrades, became a mainstay on this stage, but they have very different styles.
They have the same start, they have that same history.
It's a question of if BBL can beat that team who's already years into the future along that journey.
And when we speak about BBL and we speak about the expectations, they will be also making history
if they are to win today, making that top four for the first time for a circus organization.
And Lover's Rock was almost offended at the ascitation that this team is one dimensional, that they only had firepower.
Let's be clear, we are looking at two multi-faceted teams with a combination of individual skill and macro prowess.
It's gonna be a bang.
BBL is the most confident rookie team I think we've ever had.
They lose to the world champions in overtime.
Three different players say, we learned nothing.
This team is incredible.
We go back, we beat them next time.
They brought that confidence against Furia, toppled them, now the third and final America's squad, the last team standing between these rookies in the top four.
Respect is earned and apparently BBL have a very high bar to offer that.
We talked about it a bunch, it's the duelists on G2 that may need to step up into this kind of game.
They're up against young, talented players with great intuition for the game and frankly, Jogamon baby may have not been out of fire at the same time yet here at Masters.
Yeah, I think that as we think about that first map, I want to touch up again on the Haven and the potential that Jogamore has to disrupt.
You're talking about those dualists, and we're talking about the experience.
He feels that he's incredibly confident, but BBL feels the exact same way.
Will G2 be the first one to disrupt that macro on the defense and take advantage of everything that they learned?
And if that happens, how is BBL going to react to this?
Are they going to crumble down, or are they ready to make those adaptations?
Before they happen. I think there's no doubt that G2 will have a good game plan going into this matchup
It's the exact same maps that BDL just showed. It's two compositions that stylistically favor them in this pool
The question comes down to when it gets money when it gets late in the game
Can their individuals rise to the occasion and match a team that has some of the best
Firepower at the event something we haven't really touched on here is our IGLs in this particular game, right?
Rose says, I mean, they're not rookie, but suffice to say, there's quite a gulf between the level experience over time between Fallen and Rose, and Fallen's someone who we felt like reads opponents very well, adapts and has really next level mid-rounding.
The adaptation is what Rose has to prove today. I think he struggled with that in some of these maps. I look at the overtime on a base versus Furia, they really couldn't figure it out until it got down to those last couple solo plays against NRG.
against NRG. It slipped into an overtime there as well. I want to see a BBL today, who is
learned from those games, who will have a faster adaptation and can give it to G2.
Rose is very aware of the pieces that he has on his team. To me, he has to be on top
of that to keep the vibes out, to stop the overheating if it starts happening for the
side of BBL. So they can control. Remember, now that they're starting on the defense,
even from that pistol round, Kevin getting a little bit too aggressive, I want to see
how G2 is prepared to deal with that aggression in case it happens.
Double flash gone for the Phoenix in the Yoram here for G2. The piece I'm looking at is how they're
A, pushing Lovers Rock off the line running as the operator, and B, how they're using those flashes
to get space in Garage and Mid. Break that Cypher utility, diminish BBL's ability to quickly
rotate on defense before calling into a site late. I think this has to be a slow, controlled
game from G2 on attack, but that is where this team historically has thrived.
We speak about the over rotations and we also spoke about G2 selling a lot of fakes,
trying to play with their opponents' minds. Let's see if they can do the same against the youngsters.
Let's touch really quickly on the chamber. What do you want to see from Baby Bay on this role?
We're not always seeing on Haven right now. It's a solid map to lurk. I think you need
to contain when BBL go for aggressive pushes on defense. Second half, he's got a tough task
arping into this double duelist comp from La Rock and Lovers Rock. It's a great chance to prove on the agency's best stat
with the gunnies best stat that he can hang with some of the best individuals here.
If there's anybody who embodies supreme confidence and good clean fundamentals as these two castors, pansy,
Hyde Park, I'm talking about you. Yes, take it away.
I absolutely love it when you lie to me, Mitch.
But what we have is actually such a test of strength between these two.
We have G2, who has made to be a title contender, right, pushing for wins, chasing that trophy,
that first place position.
And in such a different spot, it's BBL.
Yeah.
And you've got to think that G2 may be coming away from the series previously now, a little
better equipped.
Again, the issue for me came down to firepower.
Now that's something that's going to be at the forefront of BBL's approach, particularly
starting on Haven.
I love the point of Mimi made as well.
Baby Bay needs to be the one to control Crevin of all people in terms of what BBL wants
to do on this first half.
It's Crevin you need to watch out for on the defence.
Again, his ability to anchor and really dictate, become the puppet master in some of the
macro for BBL.
to get into the game. They're
going to be out. We've seen that
face off here towards C long,
and there's a great deal of tape
on BBL on this map. Now for G2 to
pour over get a good idea of how
they want to approach this. Come
in with the game plan in mind.
They are the experienced team
here. The other ones meant to
handle this and already Joe
trying to get in the rock
going to set away great trade
Rose is tucked there, Leaf not actually following through the smoke but will be rewarded.
Rose just reading into that fake a little too much.
Now she's loitering, Kreven.
Left to try and recover this pistol.
And I feel like G2 can just kind of get themselves together and power forward towards the A site.
I think they're just grouping on this one as well.
A little bit of a re-clear.
And Loiter's left on 2HP so it's been incredibly hard for him to find any sort of wiggle room.
It's removed as now just one left alive is G2.
They've seen this one before.
A fantastic start for the G2 side
as that little stack towards long felt readable.
It's been really key for me here, Rose.
Slightly straight on G2, maybe rotating away here.
Obviously contact was taken by Krebber towards Babybake.
Already you're seeing both teams done homework.
the approach here.
Great from Leaf as well here.
Three on the pistol for him.
It's just time and time again here in Santiago.
Finding multi kills.
We're talking about him, particularly versus Nongshim,
the one to go toe to toe with that front line.
Delivering again here at the start, Haven.
And if that's going to be the, I don't say X factor player,
you can't really look at your baby's enjoys as well.
But if he can find a nice level of impact to that,
had such a lovely one-two punch for the G2 side.
So at this point, you're looking to try and keep this clean.
You'll see potentially, I mean, three ideally alive,
Leaf and Valin may suffer a loss if they have to,
but the others, you'd really like to even kind of build
those funds around the weapons there into the bonus.
Still beat the L.
This is your seat.
Just seeing the rotation come across towards Rose.
G2 actually prioritizing the slip
up towards B. A couple of players maybe to breathe this,
I mean, look what I'm gonna molly off here.
Keep them obeyed for the time being.
I don't think we'll be able to contest initially,
but a quick pivot into garage here
on the back of that pressure.
I like this from Leaf.
I didn't get that first shot as clearly
as I'm sure he'd like, but you'll take that.
Job done there, open up that C plant now
for the rest of the G2 boys.
So this is nice work, very steady, very meticulous.
And that's the kind of tempo I expect from G2.
Keep BBL under the thumb.
Don't let him build too far. Don't let him get away with the game plan.
Keep them very much in control, because roll your mind back. G2, especially on this map, I think it was Trent who stood up to me up against T1.
Yeah, it was Trent that just went nuclear, yeah.
Well, roll it, level of form from him. So they aren't going to catch Leaf, but he was allowed off the leash.
Anyway, you could see the switch up of the weaponry.
So it's going to be Valon who may be able to stick around a little bit longer, just in case.
But again, false shield wouldn't be the end of the world to back away if he wants to.
Really, 10-4 there. Just two away for a dimensional drift very early on.
Jorgomar obviously the second one you want to see farming his early progress
and might just get a chance here ahead in the spot.
Go down, no.
I'm going to give it up there. Three will fall.
G2 will find the second.
Relative ease, four left standing.
This is nice. And this is controlled and I need to see that.
And I want G2 to play their own game.
own games, not fall into playing how BBL would like it to feel, or kind of getting down in
the mud. And sometimes it's hard to avoid that. I think that's a fair assessment of this level.
But still, I'd like them to try and keep their head above it.
Even when they were trying to match Nongshin, it wasn't as if things got chaotic for G2.
They still looked very composed. It was more Danby being a little random anomaly,
right, to some of those equations. But I think back to map one and Abyss and G2,
time, time and time again.
Catch the drone.
It doesn't tell too much here.
Let's take off the damage here,
but baby bait, still 82.
I'm trying to push her up a little bit
towards garage once more and manipulate
that rotation.
Triple we dealt with here and Rose
has actually given up the sight here.
I feel like G2 is such a lovely idea of what BBL have been getting away with.
And as Royce does go towards heaven, it's already being watched.
It's so pixel perfect from G2.
The plan is meticulous.
And this is a bonus, a well-invested one, bear in mind.
But now look at the timing for Trent.
Look at Jorgamo.
He gets this right and he absolutely does.
This is absolutely poetry in motion.
You can't help but enjoy it for G2.
They don't need to overextend now.
Look at Trent as well.
And Trent, I mean, I thought it was it, but still, they get to maybe stay alive,
but they get a chance to play this back through G2.
They're on the money today, and Leaf is landing shots.
This is a different calibre from the G2 boys.
Bonus is theirs, looking solid.
Just a moment too soon for Rose to give up the angle here, the reposition to Heaven.
obviously the safer option in contestant sight baby baits posted up
Do you do not allowing firepower to become a factor in a lot of these situations?
Great read lovely preparation from leaf is at six to one. He's at six to one
And if we get it back and forth between yes, do it. Please, please
If this
It's a little bit of pressure on BBL
I'm up for the challenge. This is excellent stuff and leaf is just such a monstrous player
Really talked about the early progress here does have ultimate available
Popped right now gonna pave the way for you to potentially through garage
For looking to rotate through spawner ready for BBL but crevin on an island right now confidence for leaf
He wants to absolute fight on it. He's standing his ground and you can see why the One Man Army tearing apart BBL who have looked irrelevant to these rounds.
G2 showing pedigree, showing control and hell they got firepower to boot.
floorless round to find a fourth, well definitely rolling here, BBL needs to
switch something up, back out of this time out here, we'll have the purchase, don't
have any ultimates available just yet, we better anybody get on the board, there's a
couple of kills so far for them, one man leave, what again this feels like
they have prepared perfectly Mike. I think that when we talked about that tape being there this has
been a really strong hold for BBL but no other team have been able to maybe manage them so easily
or kind of find solutions but this is for you. It's a quality team I cheated. Yeah come back to the
same point this isn't even a firepower discussion which time and time again with BBL it's can they
actually just frag their way back into a few rounds string something together get the
operator online for lovers rock none of those factors already here in the opening rounds
are going to be an issue for G2 in total control of the map, total control of the tempo. And for me,
the Coinbase win condition coming out of this timeout for BBL needs to be around aggression,
proactivity, take the fight to G2. Can they can't allow this downtime to really build against them?
Yeah. I'm liking this. Pressure put to BBL. Do they have the ability to even elevate to
to the same degree we know that G2 can play at.
And I think we've all been kind of waiting and watching
to see if that would maybe happen with G2.
It's been a bit shakier times,
but this feels very nicely prepared.
It's a low, operates out for lovers' rock.
Four places, that's a great base on it.
Again, this is looking like they have done their homework.
G2 are absolutely in charge here.
Once again, Rose forced back away
They are forced to feel readable and they are not getting the fights they want, they cannot activate.
And this is purely because of how G2 are playing.
First time they go forward and actually challenge this early angle.
Invested as well with bodies, Rose now slipping back to more traditional position for him.
Lover's rocked down to 6 HP.
They might just re-walk mid here but Rose has been found.
real issues here in Santiago of holding down the A site. And Lief is just continuing to apply pressure to the wound, right?
And these three, maybe at one point they would have loved me a bit of mid pressure, it's coming on that
flank somewhere we've seen them have in the past. Here, you'll be lucky to save. This might be
top four quality coming out from G2 and this could be the difference of the big boys for BBL. Yes,
They had a great back and forth for some of the other teams. Hell, they took NRG to OT, map 3.
They've already proven they could hang with the big boys, but this is now deep in tournaments.
This is deep and an international, but you can't keep getting away with the same ethos anymore.
And with G2's ability to prep, it's just stunning.
I mean, normally we talk about an early timeout and it being for the next round.
This is the buy round. This is what they piece together to try and find a response.
And it's with very, very little resistance. G2 won the round in the first 25 seconds.
and it's not the first time it is not the first time even though baby they was
positioning up about office while it feels like they're reading how they
want to bring that operator in potentially that check on long look at
this even position to try and deny the flashlights early yet again rose caught
off guard like I said you've seen that few times on haven in terms of him
being pivotal. Anchoring down the A site. Slight overstep on the clone previously. Again falling
here after the rotation. They're actually disconnected from that first engagement.
T2 now. Five round lead. Crevin hasn't really been able to find space anywhere with T2
have set up in this default, Lover's Rock still looking to get aggressive. I was over
towards Sue's here, Lover's Rock actually taking the TP. Big 10-core change for Babymay
in the right place again. I mean expect to see him here majority arounds with a
scope. Like I said it's the Deny Crevin, Denyla Rock, potentially Lover's Rock on
these walkouts down C long. If they can control that it takes away a lot of the
options for aggression on the defense for BBL. Loiter here though. Off into down and
Leaf finds a response. I mean Leaf has just been on the money for me every
single time. I've not seen him be this lethal in a minute for Loiter again
down on 50 HP. That's spikes are even committing look at how they are
manipulating BBL. Yeah they've got a bit of space down C long but the A
sides open they're just figuring that out with the Alndrone this is a different
class and again Leaf already up on this jaw catch in the flank it is perfection
personified so far and Leaf just showing up man this is just so easy for G2
they are a level above currently as lovers rock you just like to keep the
gun if you can Valin may not even let you this is systematic domination G2
looking like the big dogs today absolutely flawless G2 the ones that
actually slipped the net takes place away from BB out again a great cast from
Jorgamo in the dark just not revealing was it blocked by something actually
they're like maybe it was a little too far but leaf not revealed here
Yeah. Okay. So I know it's been a hot topic of conversation, but if you're going to give
it some, yeah, true. If you're going to give it, you've got to be ready to receive it. And
if you start tilting and someone's standing up, giving it right back to you, hell, that's
part of the game. This is why we love this. This is what you want to be seeing. Do you
actually have that capability to bounce back when you're starting to feel what
it's like on the receiving end of it. And it's all good and well when it's smooth
sailing for now G2 creating stormy waters leaf again with a little test and
gonna identify early creven now at this point G2's options are still very open
here a little bit weirdy here noting creven towards a G2's response is
loiter we'll find some space a few that baby base not actually patrolling
this side okay nothing like you can go on to the backside of the run it back
but Trent is still here.
He's running a little gap, hasn't he?
But it's all about timing.
And it's going to be a bullet to the side of the brain.
Valon instantly collects it.
There's finally a bit of activation from Lovers Rock.
But in the meantime, G2 have eyed up this C site.
This is where they want to be.
This is where they're heading.
Spike is already going there.
We'll have a little drift here to invest for the retake.
G2, we're going to push forward here.
I like this.
This is the Flash, and Jorgamo rewarded, that's Lerog gone.
And just getting the numbers on their side, these are just really nice fundamentals from G2 as well.
And Jorgamo allowed to play it forward, baby they on the 1-2 punch,
and it's Lover's Rock on back side.
It is gorgeous for G2, they're up, they're giving it right back.
Look at that scoreline, 7-0.
This has been BBL's stronghold.
This has been the Haven mic and now it is left in pieces.
Yeah, Noyta just no idea of the timing, no idea of where G2 are positioned.
Just on an island here. And again, BBO are not expecting a second push out.
Fjorgma's initial flash here to remove a body in the retake.
You didn't even shoot a date! What are you doing?
And now, unfortunately, BBO have to be on the receiving end
of another round.
You've got a question of mental now for a rookie roster.
We up against this deficit.
And the pressure building right in front of their eyes.
I mean, the highest number, I killed two here.
The three members of BBL.
Never seen them start this slow.
And it just compounds doesn't it you've got leaf sitting on 10 to 3
Ballon 9 to 1 jaw 6 to 2 hell everyone's doing their job here, and they are off
They are giving it back. They are fired up G2 are on the receiving end of a pretty brutal game, you know
So recently so for them to go to pick themselves up here be in just I mean
incredible form of preparation and then adding to boot leaf on top I don't know
if BBL have the capability to handle this.
Well the timeout here, plenty of ults to lie upon but again it's not really come down to it.
G2 able to find freebies across the map here. BBL gone hyper-aggressive.
Yeah but Jor is right there, it's crevant on the reward and Valand as a dodge.
and he's going to get away with his life and it's stylish now from G2, three standing as
Rose. Wrong sites, wrong score. Right now, not looking like the right outcome but he is creeping
back over towards B. Players, he's got one instantaneous man. This is a different beast
they're dealing with today.
Absolutely nothing off the set piece G2 again have been positioned here time and time again,
but because PBL haven't figured out exactly what's going on after that first 5 or 10 seconds
of this default. I mean Valorz able to reset here. Caps lovers rocked trying to capitalize
on the pressure as well. Again, it's two kills for Crevin and that's about it. And
this has been a really quiet game across the board. Take a quick glance at it yourselves
there, no one breaking above the three kills. That's worrying signs.
I was off again. We're going to go down in here Rose. We'll get a confirmation towards
Lobby. Again, they haven't been able to get deep enough here to really pressure the back
line of G2. Certainly going to be difficult here with Sheriff's and the singer.
Krebben still curious, but...
Well, contact being taken by anybody outside B here.
Well, might just catch you now on grass.
Lee's actually wanted to spot it first though.
Down to 40 HP, Krebben. Can't find anything on the other side.
Oh, okay, I've just got one there.
But in the meantime, you look at what Jorgamos up to.
Still has a lot of time on the ult, have a glance.
Doesn't see anything down towards middle.
In the meantime, Baby Day is controlling their backside, so they can ferry up that spike pretty comfortably here.
Oh, baby man, you didn't just catch it on there, but it's a pre-take!
Jorgenberg's got a fall!
He almost had the five, but again it is there!
G2 on an unstoppable march!
Near on perfection in this half at 9-0.
I'm seeing no fight back from Baby on that.
I mean, this is rehearsed as well.
Jorgamas posted up here the second the contact comes in mid he pops his ult capitalizes on C
Now this is really really well thought out by G2
Very little the BBL can do here in the last few rounds operate it back in hand for lovers rock
They're trying, BDL are TRYING, and that's the first sign of light that they've actually
had, but it's not safe, with Leafs still alive!
Two big kills, Armshaw and Riteback, still has his own.
They still have Lovers Rock here, offing through sewer.
Lovers Rock trying to hold the gap between Leaf, no?
Nothing yet and committing towards that city side.
That's Rock just posted up on the TP here.
We'll get the freebie, Lee Fawful.
Just following the trend left.
First real advantage situation we've seen for BBL.
And it comes in round 10.
Still a chance here though.
They're going to get close enough to A long.
That was Rock, still operator in hand,
but you two are up close and personal here.
Oh, it's Rock.
Can we get given a challenge?
Secure that plant.
The time on their side.
They're all going to go down, reveal nothing towards heaven.
As they slowly build back in, there's a paranoia.
It's time to go.
This could be the heartbreak.
This could be the nail in the coffin.
And Trent's got the hammer in hand.
Valin on the 1-2!
Grevon can't do it!
Valin's there!
G2 are untouchable right now!
They've said the first real advantage they've had,
and it crumbles in a 2-3.
Absolutely insane for Trenton Valin here.
The push and pull is beautiful to watch.
Stunning fundamentals.
They got him on the ropes.
Trailing by 10.
EBL just, and again, almost an overheat in the previous round as well.
Double down once more though, Lloch.
Straight down A-long.
The big boys on the other side, Leafs been absolutely monstrous this half.
that mid-challenge or check has been found by G2.
We find a little bit of freedom towards Karajah.
Loverzok has already repositioned towards site.
Again, the confirmation here from the rock going to be key in terms of nobody holding towards Lobby.
Maybe I should have a good idea of how G2 is set up right now.
The trip's still not dealt with here, but I don't think Valin's been spotted.
to show their hand. That might
just be it. To shut down lovers.
Rock. It's hard to not enjoy it.
Right? This guy is getting so much
freedom finally brought to heal,
but there's other boys behind it.
I was going to catch draw and a
little bit of a no man land
position, so they do again. Keep
the numbers up, but this
didn't stop G2 last round. They
may not stop them now. Valen
position should be solid and it is. The other two trying to find space towards
this B site the numbers are going to be really hard to fight against but Trent
was a miracle worker before and they might get a consolation round at this
point first found for BBL.
I mean you're praying on a miracle here to string together a second behind
that only really clever that
prevents this from spiraling out of control again.
You can see the approach here from G2.
They want BBL to feed into some of these setups.
Just catch this defensive productivity, the aggression.
There is the cornerstone of how BBL approach Haven.
Loiter and Lover's Rock will have Ultimates here.
The other side, Jorgamo.
Let's have to run it back.
probably to play from hot flashing spots out one blinded chose them well the
lovers rock answers back it's a bloody battle down on a long as Roy stress a
stand is ground chose got him dead to rights and now 3v2 numbers up for g2
this time which is already over to ramp out that you're gonna walk you
smokey is what is it doing oh it's mistakes you can see it the
frustration. Now, Kreben, you're not going to get this done, burning alive! As G2, look
untouchable, Mike. This level of form is unfathomable to BBL. They don't know how their hell to
to handle this team as G2 looking like those title contenders again.
Can I help you, sir?

Very well, very well. Now, how about if we do a…

One round, it's not going to inspire you.
She's safe on the corner to go if they even want to make this competitive.
I mean, Vivienne haven't lost a single defensive half of Haven.
Now we're flying on.
Basically the warfire power to carry them through this second half and there might not be much of one line.
Absolute mountain to climb.
And that's without talking about just the individuals that have come online for G2, Chogomo, 16-7.
27 late in that first half cycle really on pop those numbers leaf a threat from the start
Valon so there's a rock in the rest doing what is necessary
This has been a show of force from G2 and one the BBL will
I mean probably soon to forget but certainly remember their turn on the attack with the bar has been set
Time pop on the back of this a medium here Valon
They would've got out though. No harm no foul on the way in.
Maybe I should be able to get themselves a comfortable plot.
G2 already looking to wrap behind this.
Could try to identify the flank.
Rose still positioned pretty deep on C long.
Again, there's no luck to slow this down either.
Nobody disconnected. Far enough to stop G2.
Right now, BBL surrounded.
It stands. You two trying to get themselves to the right place to play this retake. 3-2
split through CT in garage. And well, Chocomore doesn't feel that face fly at all. It's G2.
Start as they mean to go on. A rose with a valiant attempt. But it's going to be 12
in a blink of an eye. This has been swift.
No one is looking to get aggressive from BBL, even here in the confirmation of just one member of G2, sure, but in the challenge in here, Jorgomo has just given a freebie on the second to lovers rock.
to do for him to recover here.
already seeing some of the
byproduct of that first half
where BBL may be slipping into
the shell a little bit.
obviously going to see the
investment here but I mean
there's not many positives.
but maybe the rock to get
something done with the
bucking on the way in here.
This will burst towards Garage.
He's looking for these Sheriffs to find a pick somewhere.
Leave them with a judge inside their smoke.
Reveal the two peas out.
Okay.
Bomb and approach.
Trim out.
Ballon.
No playing just yet.
You're getting closer.
He's holding those on that smoke as it drops.
Oh he lost!
Sike for a second but he comes out fine.
comes out fine, BBL, gonna find one back, again, before that firepower is gonna be brought
into question here, G2, so I'm gonna apply a little bit more onto the site, BBL digging
in their heels now, baby Bay does get the upgrade, but at what cost? I'm not sure, last
one alive, this is a one before needed, he wants to shut it down now, and I think
there will at least extend play by a round.
I don't even have many upgrades to be found here, to be honest.
A couple SMGs for short.
See how the buy will settle here for BVL.
This should be... again, I'm going to keep my eye on the full shields.
I'm seeing babybay toy with the idea of a scope.
In terms of progress, I'm going to juggle it already halfway.
Rose just one away from Hunter's Fury as well.
It needs to be flawless from here on out 10 rounds to find BBL.
It is a stark reminder of the quality we have here in Santiago.
And oh leap again still can be drawing but love is rock.
11 HP he almost had him as well.
I'm happy to challenge this now but we'll shy away into the smoke.
to get back on to the angle.
This could be filthy for you.
Do they check they do?
Okay, nice heads up work from
Rose there.
Desperate to find a bit of safety
and stability for themselves
caution being aired.
We need that partner.
We really hit.
We're talking about a little bit
of utile.
in the headhunter. Do further damage, like I said, just chip away. Don't allow any safe
purchases or fully safe purchases to go through because it has to be flawless in terms of the
finances here for BBL early on in the half. I still don't think BBL are even out of the
woods in this round just yet. There's a flash and there's a swing and Jor's gonna
get one. Preventing to find two as a reaction and Trent falls. It's the third for BBL.
to take the fight to BBL.
Work down here to get the ultimate early enough to test the first true buy round.
Maybe toy with an operator here.
On the other side, they've already got one in his hands.
I'm going to be tasked with holding down C long here.
Lover's Rock, looking as if he wants to go towards Double Door, so let's look for a pick.
Early interest from Trent, and it's the Rock to receive a lot of damage,
unconfirmed as the smoke was in play, but still, I could come back to want them later into this
round. Lover's Rock trying to find someone to open this, and Leaf is probably the one
I try and avoid, but a lovely bit there from him. Working the map, as you said, almost
starting at double doors then shifting over towards B.
Valin on off angle here in Suas though.
Does have Trent at the top of the ramp as well,
but it's actually going for a prowler.
It's bottom line.
Valin, a bit to commit on this really stalwart
in holding the Suas scale up.
Look at the L. Don't even think about it.
Rose is going to try and crash it and clear through the long.
Valin's still unchecked.
They have got to be on the money with this moiter.
tries to challenge Balan gonna find him stunned up he stands his ground there is no fear from this g2 side
for the score line like this you can't blame them they haven't put everything into it
over jumpscare on the way back with Jorgerman found Krepn
starting to look like this could be a bit of a death rattle back from bdl but
is there more to be found here rose trying to puff up the chest and be bold about it the flash stop
Charles got him dead!
That's a spike!
That's two now. Mistakes being made.
We're on desperate try and make up for it!
Digging deep himself.
Calling the aggression in a 2v2.
Come on, lead it now.
You can see it, just those pixels he tries to creep for.
Doesn't want to give away anything.
Playing together shoulder to shoulder.
Trent was masterful at this before.
Baby babe doesn't get the shot!
And they are holding on!
Trent in the 1v2.
Flash goes in.
He stands his line, Lovers Rock puts at the bed, fourth for BBL, and they had to fight hard for four.
I mean just seeing Rose so desperate to punish the ultimate from Jorgamo, it throws the spike out on an island.
This is such an insane recovery from Lovers Rock, and that's what Lovers Rock tagged up so low early on.
The Hunters Fury being posted just to force Valin out from Sewers.
to show and they stabilise that leaf, gonna throw a bucky in the mix here. Stinger for
Valin as well.
Every man stacked on the seed though. Don't know if they'll be able to dig that out early.
Take three, it's four basically. You look towards A, it's just Trent down long. That
is what they're gonna know Valin. Does that give away much or they do what they
and continue towards a seaside baby now on the line.
Maybe they're weighing up their options.
I don't know if there's any confirmation.
I don't know if the players were about towards Garage, but two players here.
That's enough. I'm going to find Baby Bank.
I'm ready for that.
Yep, I'm looking at middle as well, though.
We have pressure coming.
I'm trying to buy some time. It's cleared by Rose.
I'm going to hear this.
It can pull a rotational too. That's gonna be a cool.
Okay, that's a big answer. I really thought Valin had that one there to right.
Ones up next for BDL.
And Leaf with an operator jaw with a sheriff. He's just gonna send it in.
Okay, they're gonna keep it up.
I'm down for it. If you want to be a villain at 4-12, more power to you.
Leaf would love to try and keep this.
BDL, again, it has to be flawless the entire time, Mike.
I didn't have a spot that by the way.
It's all going to mullied Lover's Rock, and he just burnt to death.
I don't know if there's any damage initially on that peak, but...
He does have the Operator in hand.
I'm going to try and do some damage if he...
Well, I'm getting on an angle, but...
I've been hunted.
As you say, there has been drops that have caused the issue yet.
Just look back into Garage here, and Moich are already pushing down long.
They should know about this.
That's one, and there goes the Operator.
Okay, three alive.
a couple of big ults to play with,
but it does feel like a house of cards
that could fall down at any moment, right?
These are still very, very close rounds,
and these were light investments coming up from G2.
Now they're back on a goodbye here.
Another big challenge coming up for BBL.
Great catch from Lloyd to here as well, Valin, obviously.
They were then placed by the trip to follow on from that.
G2 call of time out here is a couple more ultimates
coming online.
the second running back already.
We have the dimensional drift and the divide.
Can revert back to a retake if they try and put Baby Bay a little deeper somewhere.
Maybe find a pick, but four rounds here in a row for BBL.
The other side of that actually, Lovers Rock does have his dimensional drift available.
Missed a cut, yeah, missing a couple more points here and there.
Again, this is also just a nice momentum break as well.
Gigi can afford to kind of just take their time on this. There isn't particularly a hurry.
This is more just take a second, take a breather,
touch base, figure out what's been going on here.
Again, you don't want to open up that window of chance. Again, we know it is very fragile at this point for BBL,
but regardless of that, you don't want to let them get that confidence.
control the space. It doesn't
have that operator here.
I've got a confirmation that it's set up just yet.
Reposition here, leaf tucked into garage.
Does that have the dimensional drift to get right behind
this A site here if it comes to fruition?
It's kind of a powder kick waiting to go.
Baby Bay's got a line, gonna have to back away.
Still has Trent there by his side.
I don't obviously balance toward that CT area,
but G2 aren't willing to fully commit
to the rotation just yet.
Still have enough players here.
Loves Rock will be able to identify quite a few bodies
if he does go hunting.
He's cleared towards that quad side,
takes a look towards back sights,
and he's gonna see him.
Major Gamo finds him first.
Now, Jor has to be careful to get toward that one here
because look at where that spike's heading.
Look at this TP as well.
That could catch them here.
Do they consider it?
I think Jor does.
Jor absolutely does keep it in mind.
Leutern might be dead he is!
Jor-Gamon at the helm!
A decimating BBL here, down to three now.
Look at Desperate in this.
We're going to have to get onto site here.
The scale up, as you can see by some two,
but Leetner's still here.
I don't know how they're going to make it across safely.
OK, that's it.
They just get the timing right.
have a little bit of a cross-drop towards Garage Plants now in.
It is a 3v5 though.
They've got the divide.
G2 have every single tool necessary to make this one hurt.
Jarr, that's three.
He wants more.
He might get some more here.
Still on the hunt for it.
Oh!
Brooks desperately tries to hold on.
But G2, remembering who they are today,
making BBL immortal, proving they breathe like all the others.
I want to save this now because I want us to I want to see you guys will put as we
into the game as we're setting up.
Yes sir.
No matter what the score is I need energy from me.
I need pocket dives from Alex confident dives trying to confidence your teammates.
The way you speak to each other is the way we're going to play.
Okay.
Go boys.
I
The time of the rain, the next chapter in the esports history books is finally here.
And it falls and it returns yet again!
He snaps up to the plate and he can knock this one out of the park!
And our nation will be in grave alongside their graves!
I'm on my body, stuck to me like I'm running out of time
I make it a throwback
You make it a crawl back
We always get down down
You give in that hazard
Moving with that motel
Letting my soul out of it
You kick in the old school
It was you so cool
I got the car out
I got that out of sight
I make it good baby
I'm here with Josh RTFG to dominant win on Haven.
What is your evaluation of BBL on that map and how they played?
Honestly, I'm very, very impressed with BBL. When I watched them, I thought, man, this
birthday guy, he has like great IGL calling, and I'm very, very impressed about how they
structured their team and all the pressures they apply. So it was a lot of overnight studying
for me, not a lot of sleep, but I feel like I prepped the boys well to show them
what to expect. And I think we handled it well. Hopefully we keep it going. I
I know map one, we usually do all right,
but map two, like sometimes we fall back,
so I gotta make sure the boys are locked in.
Okay, well one more thing,
because the boys were extremely hyped up,
we've never seen Leafs stand up so much,
is your plan to tell him to keep it going,
you know, let him have it, or wo-bo, tone it down.
He had a great first start, first half start,
I think in the second half,
I think it got into him a little bit too much,
so as usual, I'll make sure
like he tones it down a little bit,
like make sure he's even more, even keeled.
Alright, thank you and good luck on Breeze.
Thank you.
Welcome back to our analyst desk on the other side of an utter shawacking of BBL on Haven.
A dominant showing here from G2 and we're not going to waste any time in Niki Kuka.
We're going to dive straight into some of the more impactful moments in this game.
The kind of demonstrated just how much of a read G2 had and just how much the work
for Joshua of the Night paid off.
Yeah, this is our Verizon Icefield moment.
It's a telestrator eye of prep.
In the pre-show, if you're watching,
we talked about how good this Cypher composition was for BBL
in freeing up rotation in their defensive macro.
And I want to show how Josh Arti and the gang at G2
absolutely dismantled it.
This is round three, the bonus after G2 wins pistol.
And you'll note it's the standard Cypher setup here
with two trips in garage and towards C long.
Let's look at how G2 deals with this.
Initially, they're going to put some pressure
over towards a lobby showing a flash, a haunt,
making it feel like there's something there.
And at the start of this round,
BBL is just playing a solo Sova who he'll react by going for the drone.
Well that's going on. Check out how G2 is immediately stepping into the next stage of their plan.
Two players, the Fade and the Phoenix, are going back mid and their job is going to be to destroy this tripwire
and remove information from BBL's defense.
Already one question created towards A, now here comes the next question mark.
A flash out into mid, they go and take space in Garage and check out this detail.
The only this kind of odd comp that G2 is doing can bring through the Phoenix wall does utility damage
So they throw it in a position where as you watch that I don't look it burns away down goes the side for trip
There was a seize combo to make sure Kravindan swing and pick that up and all well that's happening
Well look over towards EA site
There was a rotation away from Rose who felt like that was gonna be more of an execute on the C side of the map
And now there's a question mark here question mark in mid question mark over towards a
BBL has lost the majority of the map. It's a free contact into A and baby
Bay perfectly holds for Rosa swing for one of his three kills that as they walk
in it's now a post-mortem and there's even more check out these players that
got embedded up they hear the rotates they contact forward and they
absolutely obfuscate BBL this 11-1 was brought because of prep anti-stratting
and a perfect read from G2.
Maybe. Come on. He had four kills.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No, but listen.
We had the expectation set for G2.
We knew that they were going to be crept.
But they ticked every single one of the boxes.
Breaking the utility.
Making them over rotate.
The individuals popping off.
And speaking about individuals, we need to talk about Jogamo and Leaf.
Especially about Jogamo.
You showed it there in the Talistrator.
But I think all throughout the map
even in the last rounds where G2 was struggling to close this one out, it was jogging more time and time again.
And we can say the same about Leaf, the amount of space that they found, all the traversals it was to go up against them
and all of the flashes that they were putting, we know that BBL likes taking on those duels
and all of them favor G2.
It does feel like also, because you have utility damage of the blaze wall, you don't need the shock darts to clear some of the cycle you build.
So that opens you up to bring the fate in here alongside this already really impactful double flash set up
Yeah, there's so much utility to bully players off-lines, and I think that's that's really why this is great into double duelist
You see those a re clear rounds that was a big fixture for me flashes were excellent at shutting the bullets down
Especially when it's combined with that powder
You got a little dog running at you a flash coming for you and we're talking a lot about the macro about how good this prep was
But individually, I mean how damn good was your 25 kills
So he didn't even need to play. That was insane. I think that he didn't even have duos with some of the players.
And on the other side, let's speak a bit about BBL. We expected Rose to change a little bit of things on the call and what not.
But he really seemed like everything just happened too fast for them to adapt. And the idea that G2 kept bringing in did not make it any easier.
We also have to talk about and draw some comparisons with LaRocque. He did not have a good map and it resembles a little bit about what happened against NRG.
Yeah, not what you're looking for for BBL.
If you need someone to eat you back and again.
Now, my big question for BBL is, have you learned anything now?
Let's see what Coach Key had to say after.
I had a map too.
You're with Key of BBL now, Coach.
11-1 first half on Haven, which was your pick.
So why do you think the gap was so big in the first half?
That was the start, like we did, against energy.
We just didn't show up,
And we have no brave to fight against them.
But like we played energy, hopefully it will be like this on the second map and the third map.
Little start, but the boys are locked in and you guys are ready to go, right?
Yeah.
Okay, thank you so much and good luck.
Okay, so key of the opinion that this is exactly the same issue that had against NRG and they just quote-on-quote didn't turn up
I disagree. I think that the key to map one was G2 watching the bots coming in with very strong
Specific preparation of how to dismantle BBL's defense and they'll not changing enough to adapt
I think that's more core than just individual under performances
But I think it does hold the resemblances with with energy
Do you do not remember that pearl and how there was no sure about the composition and whatnot?
And how did this man to there so I think that there is a point that he has there now
Can he find the same solution that he did against nRG speaking?
Especially about the rock as we take a look at the agent select another player that I think we highlighted a little bit in that
In the highlight was leaf and I think that for me in this map even starting on the attack
I really have high hopes for the performance of the he's going to have and for BBL the rock has to tune in again
Yeah, it was a really great read map one from G2 of how they moved around the map on their attacking side
I'm expecting them to want to play similarly here, but Breeze is a different beast
It's a lot easier for the individuals like LaRocque and Lovers Rock to get involved and win it that way
This is a great chance in my mind for BBL to get back into the series at what their best at and do not forget
What's at stake we're speaking about BBL with the potential of making history and it's not going to be an easy one to make
All right, let's jump right back into the action after a quick map one pansy. Hi Park. It's on you
Well, this is the fun part, isn't it?
Breeze now coming up next and BBL with a brutal wake-up call of the difference of these sort
of levels.
You earn your legacy here.
Santiago leaves nothing to be hidden, nothing to chance as G2 have set the standard and
they've set it high.
Yeah, I just want to come back to that again.
to note LaRocke seems to be the king of map 2 for BBL. Talking about previous performances
here but you come to a map like Breeze and there's this huge opportunity for a team to
completely disregard timings, disregard macro and just take the fight to G2 now with the
upper hand in this series and the upper hand in terms of the mental game on the stage,
I think there's a real likelihood here if Jorgamo and Baby Bay just want to try
knock this out the park. Well that's it isn't it. Do they have that killer instinct to just put them down?
EVL better be ready because Joar! Okay he just went to bed pretty quickly but the trade's there for Lee.
So the floodgates to the site are open for now. EVL close enough by by the broken wall
but the plant's gonna be in but look at Rose's position does he get the timing on this? He
has managed to slip to window. Checked on by Valon so there is layers to this we are still
still in the 3v3.
Baby bait, we're going to get back behind this through mid.
Flanks on flanks.
He's going to go right here baby bait.
Little bit of chip damage as well onto the rock.
Doesn't need to do too much now.
He can kind of let the others cook a bit here.
Still utility on the plant to allow G2 to build time.
Locked with another tap, more utility put into play.
Trent, still happy to toy with a touch.
Rock with Lover Fight.
He's not getting the one he wants.
His Lover's rocked now.
already in the round, the G2 have everything they need here, this should be done, G2 with
a great start, simplistic an approach and what you want to be seeing.
These early rounds key for BVL in terms of getting a couple of these players online,
but he mentioned the Rock, but it's a Lovers Rocker, much slower map, a couple of individual
promises from him a little lacking. He's so crucial to their success.
See any investment here from BBL? Maybe they toy in with a scope, but
maybe two Bulldogs bought into this. A couple of SMGs as well, so well,
rounded purchase here for G2. Rows on the other side of this one, amen.
I mean, we're the drone, we're all invested as well, so he decides to try and challenge
here.
Pretty smooth sailing, they are just making it towards those doors now for the DDL side.
G2 is going to get himself set up into this close plant again in his classics on the other
side so the G2 an opportunity to try and get to all those alts farmed up here and
baby day the one to be doing it. Are we getting a vintage Jogamore performance today? I'm up for it man.
Super crispy from Jogamore on the Bulldog.
Here we are unfortunately. Gamble snack elsewhere on the map. Beautiful kills from Baby Bay as well here at Sleep.
I couldn't even catch that second one. Really lovely from Jogamore.
Let's go. I'm back. I'm back. Get it boys. I'm back. Get it.
Very comfortable start to build up a bit of a cushion here on the attack for G2
You're going baby. They both halfway to ultimates already very early on
What's the response here in the buy-around for BBL?
And I feel like just momentum-wise
Mentally they need to kind of get a grip back into this game as well. You see that first map. It's easy for us to kind of maybe
We've already reset mentally ourselves, but for the teams this is just very oppressive to handle.
G2 have loved to continue that.
Don't think that Alderaan's going to quite clear the corner of the light,
so Rose is going to be behind the curve on this as Jornal gets a step towards the site itself.
I can't scratch Kevin as well, at least a glimpse of him.
Leaf now, back to the other space, and that's his number for the door to hit!
You have gone lighter and longer, still putting up a fight.
Leiter, as well, throws it on the swing better.
Much better fighting as five this time.
We are happy to make these snappy decisions.
Wasn't expecting a full commitment out of double doors here,
but maybe they're still showing signs
they're happy to be proactive,
not necessarily dwelling on that 13-5 on Haven.
And again, a massive positive to see.
See some of these players activate.
You don't want to see Miroc being a map 2 show from him.
You see everybody step up here.
BBL have any hopes of recovering this series.
That goes there.
G2 have shown depth, individual capability, preparation.
The list is pretty long.
So BBL are going to have their work cut out here.
That was already going to play through towards Elbow.
They will be drawing them on the other side a bit deeper.
They just going back around.
And this is quite a round. I want to see what BBL want to achieve in terms of the bigger picture.
He's here happy to respect the purchase.
I mean, leave that down on the sheriff, but the rifles across the board here for G2.
Ready lovers rock taking the TPU across this side.
It's a good read from BBL.
A bit cautious of Nip, though. There's a lot of pressure coming through double doors.
Wow, those are still on the rocks for now.
It's, as you said, depending on how much pressure these double doors players from G2
G2 can actually apply. Lloyd's done really well to help them out. Keep at least a bit of safety with
Loracus taking a bit of damage for Bay Bay. Oh! Brutality from G2! Powering through towards the
site. Plans up, they've got nothing to stop it. Tread was waiting for a second to land. No, he
haven't even got a plant down yet. This is a site that's stacked with four members of BBL and
And it's only Jorgomotta full.
Previn, rifle in hand.
Left to wait this one out.
Leaf not allowing such freedom.
Previn just checking.
That smile.
That damn smile.
That damn smile.
But still for G2.
It is going to be grinning after that round.
As you said, going into the stacked site,
you kind of felt might have had a bit more fight back.
you've got baby they absolutely just punch him down. It's it's a scary prospect now because
we know that G2 can walk into these bigger heavier sites and come out pretty cleanly.
Yeah I mean it's a clear difference in the fundamentals G2 get their stride on map one.
Extend this one my eyes are only slow arounds maybe towards the
the
head of some of these side executes
No, I mean the free the air caught by Lloyd to that is beautiful from trend
Oh, it's elimination day today you can just feel it
and now the boys look at a
little shotty for BBL but they
have the operator it's just
Rose who's going to be suffering
a bit here top mid try and make
it work with what he can afford
the other side does on the scope
as well many light shields but
crucial here is not doesn't fall
immediately he's going for two
he's here in shots now baby
that's three G2 going to get
their answer back but in the
kill feed it's leaf and baby
Maybe they should try and find a little bit of room to work. Good chip done.
And that's driven down on 10. There's still a little bit of danger in this.
Might have just closed the case now.
Evie up against 4.
And a little bit of firepower in just that round previous.
Hard to make it forward though. Initial challenge for Loiter.
Themself out of their reset if you can. 40 seconds to play with it.
Yeah, they've had enough of that game.
I guess that's what happens when you call out LaRocque.
Certainly heard that.
Curious if there is a response.
LaRocque now will have the blade storm
on the back of that success.
Initially here, he could just take the back and forth
and the catch on Jorgamog.
Beautiful mid-slide.
I swear, I mean, LaRocque's one away
for the dimensional drift.
to get the pit. If you really
think that you can't talk shit,
just keep watching this game, man.
They're ready for this. Oh,
just on the leg. It looked like
13 HP will leave gets to stay
alive on, but still want to go
for the popular G2 building of
the back of baby based off
potentially looking at that
I mean that's utility in hand. That's a bit of a miss on that one. I'm going to just turrets them down
It is a shutout
flawless old from BBL
the back of the dimensional drift to try and open up this site
amounts to absolutely nothing for G2
And some of these more crucial momentum building rounds for BBL now going in their favor
but have the upper hand in terms of this next cycle of alts.
The investment coming there for G2.
All tied up, three apiece.
And in the last, as we said that.
Yeah.
A divine available hunters fury here for G2.
Double win cons that might come in if it goes right,
but no respect given.
It's earned here today.
Rose holds the line and he holds the double doors.
Takes away Jor, who looked like he wanted to pop there.
But the quick pressure.
tried to take a reflight, baby, baby, puts him to bed.
It's Loiter and Lovers Rocks try and hold those next lines.
They don't try and make it through again.
This is going to be bloody between these two.
Are they going to get it right full at least?
That's all the sights and gets found quickly.
You'll be able to withstand this pressure.
And a couple of players investing here for G2.
Still Rose showing the willingness to go forward,
to set the tone,
try and win out in this mental battle on the stage. Again, come to breeze here. It's a map
that suits BBL to really switch things up, go back towards playing very fast and loose,
relying on some of this raw firepower the roster has. Just missing one point here for
Crevent on the neural theft and it's a fully stacked old cycle for BBL. No surprise
So, I kind of love seeing that, though, and again, it was absolutely worth the lack of sleep that man got to get.
Matt Juan, he looked like he hasn't slept in days.
Yeah, I mean, walking through eliminations, I guess, right? You gotta get that prep done quick.
But you're right, if the Oaks now starting to sit and settle into play for BBL, you can kind of see the change around here,
that momentum swing that's come in, but G2 are very in the fight, will it be quite aggressive on this?
Still taking a lot of kind of chances, I guess you could say.
I do want to see if that tempo changes now we come out of this time now.
I think the approach is clear from G2 today in terms of puffing up the chest, showing
they're willing to brawl by having the macro to back it up as well.
Stand here for a little bit of numbers rock getting onto the deeper angle, but it's
not going to post up yet.
Jumping down is done, just yet, but a catch from numbers rock won't connect.
layering though and the util is well kind of keeping drugmo unable to kind of hunt that down
pbl feeling a bit of that pressure sign to build towards b but i'm not seeing that false commitment
yet nice clear on the utility so again the checklist just being worked down by g2 here
they don't have to hurry it still about a minute drugmo starting to rebuild back by elbow checking
in towards rose who is going to need a bit of support if they do continue on that path thing
i think lovers rock can still get eyes on if necessary is the pit just going to go down
towards a late round investment here.
He sets the rock in motion, potentially to explore towards mid, double doors.
He's still looking for something to set their sights on.
Dimensional drift invests in here from Lovers Rock, with the hunter's curious to try and follow up
the way up on the placement initially.
They're not looking that sharp on actually Lovers Rock.
He's going to have to commit here too. This is getting a bit sketchy.
The rock's still solid on the hold!
He's fired up, ready to go and he goes back the third!
This man's hungry as Valon just has to face it.
Rock's on the hunt.
He is sending message after message.
For 13 seconds Valon would love to deny that.
Bit of confidence with nothing to lose.
The Rock would love him to be buried as he is.
Back up now as BBL starting to look scary.
The Rock trying to hide the smile on his face.
Gallant.
Start contrast here.
They play for Lovers Rock again.
Committing to the TP, knowing there's space to play into.
Towards beach.
I'm curious if that's going to be the approach.
Now coming out of the timeout, G-Tro is just again reverting back
to kind of what worked on Haven, which was waiting for BBL
to bounce forwards.
Get much of an opportunity. It's a huge investment for BBL.
Get him out with just the Bladestorm.
He does put G2 back onto an awkward bite.
Couple of pistols, couple of stingers.
G2 did have quite a nice amount of success.
They wanted to stay side of the map when they kind of just kind of...
I guess split through the door a bit, had that nice punch to it,
a little late on the Util, allows you a lot of freedom,
and it isolates Rose. He's got to know there's another player here.
they know the loiter's nearby.
Jogamo would, I mean, ideally find him in G2 again,
threading the needle.
The Rockbow 5 HP.
This is a bit of a tall task at G2.
Show them how it's done on this one,
going back to what was working before.
Dismantling this A-Sci hold.
I think so, I was into a post plan here.
Lovers Rock and Crevin have to try and recover this.
Cross is lethal, though.
And there is the kind of eventual wrap
It's coming through on middle, Kevin's gonna find maybe they trend is only gonna get one.
So it's down to 1v2.
This is difficult, but not impossible.
Lovers rock though, absolutely towards Fallon, but he hasn't caught the timing on Leaf.
Who was that eventuality for Mastercard, Krifty turn?
G2 once again showing they still have options on a insane round to pull off.
DBL slight misreading the early set up here.
Unfortunately Rose going forward once more, trying to greet G2 on the way.
of course it might have just slipped into the gap. Backside of that.
What happens, Walt?
Big swing round for G2.
Now, G2.
The sponsor found after four rounds in a row for BBL.
Still training by one, baby bang now with an operator in hand.
He noted early on.
G2 very quickly drift.
back over towards the B site, maybe we are probably trying to position to catch the pivot
back into mid, but with Krebber on the island I don't think that's coming.
No, I'm going for that TP timing as well, maybe go taken now, joined in towards middle.
G2 not clearing, okay there, clearing at least that front approach, still got a bit
of safety for Krebber to play into, this is a much different pace coming out from G2
here very slow and steady but still very focused towards B they're gonna see the
operators here they're gonna hear the operators here but do they find
yes they do so they got four idea what's in front of them Jorgamo now should be
able to work forward I think he's got a great idea of where that Cypher tried to
hide to as Jorgamo now takes side control rose unexpected but adjusted to
Jorgamo great diligence till then head removed Valin catching the
Black line, Loiter gone, this is great stuff.
LaRocke wants to go though, he wants in.
And he's just been let off the leash.
Clear's back site.
But Gigi do not want to let this one slip.
Now all on the rock in a 1v4.
Here on impossible, this Trent ensures it.
Safety at the end.
But Gigi now showing diligence on both sites.
Especially with that pace change in the Thurkey,
the CBBL reading into that.
and it's unclear exactly what the approach is here for Gigi to come out of the timeout, but
this tier have stopped that momentum, forced the timeout to BBL, considered their approach
and the money's still sitting okay for BBL.
They're seeing an operator.
He's still egging them on.
2-2 on the brink of having both the dualist ultimates here, the last two rounds, the rock
leading the charge here for BBL, we desperately need to make a stand here on this map too,
and only going to have the new LF to work with, like I said, a massive investment on
that previous round.
Yeah, I've enough quite a few chances for G2 now to kind of regain the scoreline
and control on the half. The fact they were to build back with two just now and the way they've done it,
it should put a little bit of fear in BBL. They've been broken on the A site, broken on B.
They haven't really been able to get LaRocque there early enough to find impact again.
Look, he gets there eventually and does do some damage, but by this point I feel like G2
has kind of suffocated some of that build of momentum that BBL might have been banking on.
the first point of contact towards A does now have Lloyd to provide some support. It is the answer for PBL to prioritise towards mid, behind some of these A site hexes. A massive gap between Rose and his ability to really provide much support.
We're going to identify here early on.
Switch up with positions for him, but he still looks as if he wants to challenge.
He's drawn those over towards that A-side quite early now, and they're in top mid available.
I'm not sure if you're aware of that just yet.
Clear, clear difference in pace.
What does the drone spot though? Absolutely nothing.
Initial tag onto Jorg with the recon.
EDL forced to figure things out as they go here.
Valenqort down to 10HP.
Able to keep them at bay for the time being, but this pressure in mid is starting to mount.
Now nobody here to catch now erodes reposition towards B site
No, can they would stand the pressure the vice grip that's building towards the A side the rock looks under the gun
You could see it. He had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide and really
Body back on this once again G2 have the same this look at the position from baby
Still able to control towards middle still able to get away with what they want and this well
It looks simplistic it looks stylish and it looks absolutely on the money for G2 now
This clever little 1v3 has to try and break this crossfire that is solid as a rock
G2 have the solution to whittle away our BBO and these slower rounds
Fortunately the rock I mean he looks ready for this but the reposition here because of the stuff just forces him
Little off balance
They get value rates completely
unconsidered, posted up with the operator towards mid last round.
Still going to see a buy here from BBL.
They muster together as best they can.
Still an operator in handful. That was what was a huge positive.
Value rate does have that dimensional drift available here.
This mid pressure G2 have found what they wanted.
This was the way that they've been pressuring towards a
putting Rose on the back foot, keeping Lovers Rock a little humbled deeper on the sights.
See the Rock trying to be patient about this, but he found no footing in that prior round.
Again that want to be involved, that want.
Yeah, I'm surprised not to see PBO going a little more proactive on the back of Crevin.
He's not feeling the pressure and his utility's not dealt with early on.
This time, looking like they're leaning to the other side of the map here.
As G2 once again, show this diligence, who's next?
They all looked at the sniff out of what's going on towards B.
A solid confirmation here, great catch from Lover's Wharf!
The second as well!
That second! Sensational!
As G2 trying to scale forward, it's Trent to find a bit of work in middle,
potentially here to play off of.
Catching Rose is not a bad shout here.
Leiter now noted that it doesn't feel easy with these numbers.
Even a 3v4, they don't have that comfort on a site just yet.
They're trying to be in a foot race towards the A side of the map here.
Leiter does get back towards that deeper side and the cross should be treacherous.
It is the fun able to make it through.
And a little bit of resurgence from VBL here is Valin in a one V4.
It is a lovely shutout here.
this is a much better display
from both teams. Great response
found here, but come out all
settled up at six to six is a huge
positive for G2 in terms of BBL's
early intention here. We'll have to
see if that carries across to the
second half.
Red Bull gives you wings.
there are three beautiful people. I see them there. Very good. Let's see, the guys from
Uniac University.
There it is, very good. Some over there, okay.
From the University of Tarka.
Where?
University of Tarka?
Okay.
From the Sek University.
Over there!
I see you!
From the University of Filis de Ray.
Oh, quite a lot.
Very good.
and the University of Development.
Where are they?
Very good!
We are doing very well.
We are doing very well.
The game is incredible.
The series too.
Let's see what's going to happen.
But I do want to hear them.
Santiago!
Griten with the album!
Let's see who we are going to win
because the audience is in the middle.
Where are the fans?
Now with a little more to cheer for, BBL's side putting up a much better show here Mike,
but G2 are not out of this game, they've shown that they still have a great mentality for
this when they still have map 1 in the pocket, but the side switch now, you can see how
they handle the approach from BBL.
and really eyes now go towards the rock in terms of his ability
with the driving force for BBL, the attacking side.
So you see the intention here for BBL isn't to shy away
a much slower tempered approach to the defense overall
but you certainly want to see them get off to a flying start.
There's a hope of taking us to Abyss.
to invest the ball, it's out, we progress towards main.
Look at that, a headshot and a follow up from Trent.
And again, G2's preparation for these pistols seems absolutely on the money, Trent sitting nice and deep on the left of this.
He's barely seen them and he's basically been there down for start to end.
The end. Trent has been a brute force to handle.
2B3, spiked down in a better north of Spock.
Good map, Spawn here.
I mean, it's still a 2B and a baby bait to prevent that.
Why is he down to 40, yeah?
I think they know they've got a bit of space to play into.
That sound cue towards mid.
It's getting weird here in the big stop.
Anybody checking back towards...
They're not going to go through nest.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, they're good.
Let me check him back towards top of the D2.
Just waiting here for BBL to make a move.
Are they going to leave Kreven inserted here?
30 seconds left.
That could be huge.
An open par towards mid.
That might be the playing G2.
Giving them, wow, room on this as well.
Not really reacting just yet.
Get a respect shown, actually.
Yeah, by G2.
Kreven is still in a position to backstab this,
backstab this, but G2 prioritizing the flank.
And he's going top, and he'll be probably seen by Loiter, who's down on 40 though.
Pretty sure he is on the receiving end of those shockdarts coming up from Trent.
Three players now encroaching fast.
Yes, and Crevin getting over here, great shot from Loiter, baby Bay gone, and a reposition gets away safely.
There's a little bit of a fire on this one, trying to draw her eyes as Crevin trying to be allowed to be played in as that
Backflying threat but a 1v2, Jogelmann and Valon have done the hard work here.
And Valon's taking off the diffuse, not got the hot yet.
He tried to go for the target on this one, and that's close.
But they've got it! G2 making it back in time with barely a second to spare.
The smokes that deny Kreben's late position here isolates Loiter towards Sight.
A crucial catch here from Trent LaRocque just ever so slightly ahead of the curve.
Leaving with that kill from Leiter.
Sloping's down G2. Still find the pistol here.
And the second half.
Kevin Fuller, sheriff in the mix here.
the back of the drone.
happy just probably tuck into
play these closer angles.
into a desperate play.
There's any confirmation and
didn't see a ping on the back
of the drone but maybe a very
quickly regroup outside B.
TP gonna get sent in here by
See how close Baby Vey's playing.
I think there's probably nothing that that does take the way out of there.
Exchanging space with the Rock, but...
How does it stand? It doesn't feel too threatening just yet.
You two might be unsure if they are still fully committed to this in 50 seconds.
Look at the adjustment.
Rose's going to slip up onto site as well.
Surely they've got to be aware there's a chance someone's made it here.
baby bay on a
bold position, but I guess he's got leaf by his side as well
I guess he's coming to the corner and take away the threads
a shot in the dark and he's rewarded towards lovers rock
it was just reposition around, nice timing for valent
even though it felt a little bit dangerous
the position to great here, good control shown by Jork
has now rocked
what's Jork I mean?
is that classic?
Oh, sorry.
I'm talking about 14 seconds.
You went down to William.
Pillarock there, but G2 finding a nice second.
Building a cushion now.
Yeah, great composure on the big side from G2.
And just not even really confirming
the retreat back from the side,
but that pressure in mid doesn't amount to much.
The form of success, or kill towards either makes it
any easier for them.
Structure's caught there on the span
The rock pick up a scope here early on only two light shields beside the G2 front and leaf
The two targets I look for
The old here and my look is get involved the most like it off again
We're gonna go right on the end of the orb retrieval
should be a leap now.
I'm trying to put Baby Bay a little deeper.
I quite like this discipline from G2. They're playing just aggressive enough to keep BBL not feeling any sort of ease, but not over extending.
Not giving away pigs.
Oh God, timing on that.
fingers trying to get all the way in. This could be nasty work for him. Still able to
keep space on the site and the Rock is gonna find Baby Bay and he's got traded and VBL
again at least access towards the site for now. Closest player by is gonna be Trent.
We're going not too far on Valon just making that rotate now. Again this is
gonna be bonus time for G2. The damage would be lovely.
Kragas Rock is down on that 14 HP and Leroc's doing fine, catching Jorgamo, not feeling any of that pressure really.
The timing for Trent here could be, well, should have won a good up, Leroc's going to get three and get himself fired back up, BDL not out of it yet.
So not the response found early enough here, denying the bonus.
actually coming out of that.
It's another situation where they're just waiting for G2 to swing out and G2 are tucking
in playing much deeper on the site.
They're trying to make the bucky work for him.
Actually reverting away from the purchase.
I think I initially saw two or three in the ditch.
Shares and stingers again for G2.
Trent and baby wants to be down on that.
And another attempt to draw the eyes of Valon or Jor.
It feels like you'd be able to start to get a little bit of a beat on what G2 would like to do on this.
Now that's one thing to know, what they want to do is another to handle it.
Trent, those shot darts were absolutely unbelievable last time.
last time this time around maybe a little bit of chip on Rose potentially but mostly the fact that
actually G2 have a good couple of foot holds on this site has given me pause for thought. They
may keep it a nice line here but we're going to be careful not to get caught out. He does have
help but they are trying to close in. Jorgomote, I'm going to get the shot he wanted leaving Rose
alone to his own devices. Good flash. Couldn't shut down the kill though as BBL keeps security
here. Five standing so far. I'm sure LeRocke would love to keep that rifle. Absolutely. That
a 2HP. They can maintain 5 alive here. A flawless round to tie things up would be huge for BBL.
We've spotted here. Right out, Lowe's just chomping at the bit, man.
I mean, Lee's kind of nice with this, though, but he can't get it all. So takes down Rose,
but again, 8-8, tied all even. I like what we're seeing from BBL in the form of kind of
finding out how G2 likes to react to things. Yeah, we're seeing a little better in terms
the approach here. It's a G2 happy to slow things down a little later once
BBL make progress towards site. A little bit slippery but conscious of
potentially any aggression on the side of G2 to capitalize on that. Quiet to
start to some of these rounds.
Only Neural theft available for BBL here but good progress elsewhere across the
board that sweep.
Great to see.
Baby Bay is going to have that in hand and it's pacey.
It's looking like a tempo shift coming up from BBL straight towards the A side.
Baby Bay is here.
Ballon's got his side.
Going to be traded in on Baby Bay's.
Goal landed he does.
Trent's lovely support as well.
This is Synergy in action from G2.
Maybe BBL thought they had a bit of an easier access point.
It's not the case at all.
by finally in place for G2 has totally turned the tale of this round.
The pot's in, the 2v4 is a lot to ask for.
The off-prevents from really getting a rest piece that huddled into sight.
They're trying to find a corner to play from, baby base having none of it.
Rozier, last man alive, back to the wall, G2!
Fast-standing, punching back up on the scoreline, putting themselves on 9.
The theft investment comes, the Rock, one away from the blades,
on Lover's Rock, away from Dimensional Trim.
A good opportunity here for GDL to recover.
The operator is causing too many issues here
in terms of scaling any further forwards.
Nice chance! Let's go, Chet!
The pace change handled very well by G2.
Remember, Hunters fury in the divide of their own leap,
just one away from a pit.
the game. It's going to throw
BBL off filter ever so slightly,
but the rock does have the
Bladestorm to counterbalance
that. Yeah, I'm interested in
this time out. It is how to
handle that operator down play.
This is BBL's time out. Maybe
just kind of how we want to
approach the map from this
point onwards. I feel like
there was room to play for G2
in the opening couple of
rounds. Now we've seen that
horizon as well. This has to be a very well thought out re look at this from BBL if they
want to stay in this fight.
Really actually coming out of that early exchange.
Future with an upper hand considering the buy behind this.
And I'm just curious now especially with the operator maybe very happy to go a little deeper
towards mid. Again just heavy anchor these sights.
They said if they were able to get themselves to a post flat a pit would be huge to their
success rose. Been on point with the Hunters fury today. You can find a cat that will
be also crucial to their success. Despite not going to be committed here so
early pro potentially towards AMA. Just a catch of pick here and if I jump on my baby rain might
be getting aggressive towards top mid as I mentioned. There you are, and spots on. That's
going to be a very early check for Brevin on the other side if they do decide to go that deep.
I mean the cans are leaving there. Potentially.
We'll treat the orb outside A and we've got to argue now we're going to make inroads
towards the B site. Three members of G2 this side of the map.
They won't have an opportunity through elbow.
To get any sort of split going towards B, but
the pistol just popped here. It might just fall down and deep enough.
It's going to be great positioning for G2. Just made a bite.
After having to be spotted as well,
Well, that was the eye-over from Jorgamo, but still,
Pins could have come down, so trying to find some security
and safety on the site, but surrounded,
nevertheless, we start, baby bait with a belting,
Sean Grevin, backline now open, and Trent
pushing it forward, Leroy for the swing,
he'll take down one, Loiter in unison,
but it's down and Rose in the rock, Trent for heads, Rose!
The rock left in a 1v3, as G2's capability's
starting to really come online here.
used tooid with the rock trying to get in close and too many targets and G2
two buttoned up, two perfect, two in control.
Baby Bay goes forwards on that play to Kat Kreven in the lurk.
It's just beautiful to watch G2's understanding of BBL's tendencies.
Even here it's so well invested for BBL to be able to stick the handing on this post plan.
I'm so locked in bro. Oh my god.
I mean he's absolutely right. He actually is.
Kevin even knows he has an opportunity to slip away from the drone but he's spotted.
And then he's just kind of barreling back towards window.
Again, I have to just give credit to Baby Baby.
He is having an exceptionally impactful performance.
You've seen his lows in some of the previous games where he's just not really come online.
but this time he is very, very present in this.
Another question to be asked of him,
will do continue on this thing towards the B site.
The Rock does have all able to just round out this purchase.
There we go, operator noted.
He is tucked in the corner
and how long does he stand?
Confidence does get, well, the Valin security
in the back of the site again.
Still holding his ground, unaffected and unfazed.
G2 once again looking solid in this and BBL desperate for options and desperation has given them nothing
Jorgamo now on the site G2 looking lethal today for V2 and BBL just run a clutch at straws here
get the plant down comfortably now baby they still looking four angles
the operator. You'll be able to call a freeze here, but really many feasible options for them. They
need to catch this reposition back at the bank. It's not his way. Oh, they are just being run
around here. They relaxed now. Calm down. Ah, Crevin, you got two more to locate though. You
might know about Trent. I don't know if he knows about Lee from the 13 seconds. It makes
no odds 11 rounds for G2 now within touching distance of sending these
rookies all the way home
he's going to be a little awkward for them here as well yeah I didn't know if I did cut that
long as rock stepping into the snake bite catching mushroom ass he had the
impact you're so eager to figure out Valin who was crucial
previously in terms of anchoring sites and basically just going even as best he can
Stalls out so much time to T2 to reposition
They set up now washed it up shouldered up. Maybe they play from those double doors
Just give me back in a way he was there in support early on
Maybe I would love to locate this but baby base being pretty tricky at the moment to pin down
down. It's done. Send this one
out and he's gonna be careful.
He doesn't get punished on this.
I think he's got a little bit of
playing out on for him just to
ensure that he knows they are
just around that corner.
Yeah, I'll spread pretty thin
here. You two playing deep
enough to mitigate that early
pressure. Regroup towards mid.
on the outside double doors.
be walking into a trap. Yeah, this could be the downfall of BBL. Let's see. Can they isolate?
Can they find anyone to pick apart here? 3-2 split coming in. Giorgamo deciding he wants
to look towards that, excuse me, aiming approach, but here comes that pressure. Giorgamo trying
to be tricky with it himself, trying to be hard to pin down. Melt's a loiter and goes
back in for more. Valin tries to hold the line, but BBL explode on the site. Pot
Next on the cards Trent's been nasty with this and he's not stopping either
Continues that presence allowing leaf now to come alongside in two kills already for Trent
Rose on the site lovers rock watching the cross for that guardian. Is it gonna be enough here?
Holding on here Rose gonna be forced. Oh, not forced out by the snake bite still run to play
Still run to try and hold on
But with Trent in this level of form, there is little to be done as Lovers Rock desperate
to do it.
The connection not good enough and Trent is out for blood.
Four big kills, G2 making it up to 12.
The connection just not landing with the Guardian there, but a beautiful push and pull
in this 2v2.
Oh, it's glorious from Trent.
A juice magical crevine again.
He's looked so icy in some of these situations.
What we're talking about, the desperation for DBL
to rely on that raw mechanical skill they have
is that demise once more.
All of those hopes
now pin on this round.
Gotta make it happen. This is the caliber. This is the quality!
As Jogamo already takes away one, BBL down a four as they try and power forward.
Problem is, you've got Baby Bay in the way.
Standing guard can't land it, dips away. Next layer of leaf goes down.
They still have a chance at this one. Jogamo not gonna find Lovers Rock here.
This is looking rough around the edges.
BBL desperate for a plant. Desperate for something to go on their side.
It's a position very deep.
I think we'll throw them all here.
Spam down. There's still a man advantage for Gigi.
Jorgamo, good to be revealed. The North F goes in.
All the info now playing to BBL's hands.
Well, Jorgamo, this man are cut above the rest.
He knows what it takes to be great.
There's a little rock. The back pebble away.
And the sights starting to fall apart.
It could be all five for Jorgamo.
There's a little rock desperate to hold on.
Desperate to dig deeper.
to do whatever it takes to win in life.
Six points, baby, baby!
The one to break them down to pieces.
G2 sent the TVL to silence in Santiago.
G2 demonstrating the value
of their preparation today in map one and then coming out happy to go blow for blow with BBL
and standing tall again bringing their A game in terms of the trash gorgon the stage
turned him in the server as well BBL they're flicking their wounds here
and a fun prospect to the future for BBL love them hate them you certainly paid attention to them
But on the other side for G2 it was a show of force, a show of quality, and a hard opponent to meet in these moments.
Elimination games really do put you under the brightest spotlights here.
Today BBL will be taking our long road home.
Absolutely, something just not clicking for BBL here.
Again you could argue it's the playoff's curse coming in cold, but certainly not the case today in terms of this series.
to buttoned up in terms of their approach.
The most comfortable performance we've seen from them as well.
We're talking about something individual standing up to do too.
This one, everybody stepping up to the plate doing what was necessary for them to get this win today.
It starts to look like a big game team.
As said, made to chase titles.
Push top fours, top threes, ideally into finals.
into finals and we saw it from every individual on this team today. As you can see we will be
having that Verizon post match interview for you as ready as soon as possible. The G2 has
got to feel fantastic. You walked into Haven I thought that could have been a trap not the
case at all. They were prepped, they were ready and they were firing on all cylinders today.
San Tielo de Mopinahil!
And they have eliminated BBL Trent. How are you today?
So I want to talk to you. You guys knew that BBL was coming with that firepower
and you just eliminated them with more firepower.
How are you feeling right now since you've eliminated them?
And also you guys are going through that lower bracket.
Feeling very good. That was a very good momentum win for us.
They said they were better than all Americas, didn't show up today, unfortunate, but yeah, feeling great.
So now, you guys were standing up since round one.
The energy was amazing and the atmosphere you have going on in G2, it's absolutely great.
I just want to know, you guys played six matches by now.
How do you keep that stamina up? How do you go into your hotel just reset that mentality?
How do you guys do that to be in the best form possible every day?
You can't do all in the past. I mean, we lost yesterday, but if we keep thinking about it so much,
especially all in the match day, we're not going to play to our best.
So we know that we just have to reset, go next, and give all of our energy 110% today.
And yeah, we're standing up from round one because they're just talking a lot, they're standing up too, so we give it right back to them.
And that's perfect, and it worked out because they were absolutely intimidating for you guys.
and to be able to start from scratch, it's just the best, and they were standing up because
yes, they were screaming a lot, and they were trying to do something, but these guys
finally beat them.
And I don't know I'm up there and in every situation. I just feel like I can win it
My confidence is at an all-time high and I know that everyone up here is nervous
They're they want to beat me so I'm using that fire
And I'm just playing calm and making them make the move and I'm feeling it
So the fact that he can stay calm makes him much better.
It's more than a game, it's a world shaped by you, the fans.
And our mission is to elevate that world by building technology that creates moments that
last forever.
That's why we're joining forces with the Valorant Champions Tour to transform how
Now fans experience live events on the global stage.
Greetings for G2 from Ecuador. We are traveling for hours.
How was it?
G2 for you! G2! G2!
Please G2 win, win for my grandmother.
Let's go Valin, let's go. You are the best healer in the world bro.
Let's go!
Hey baby babe.
You've been in Chile, man. Try the Vote Congüesillo. Love you.
I love you, I love you, Yajamon! Yajamon, I love you!
Let's go, Bali!
Welcome to Santiago, Kedos.
Let's go, Trent. Let's go, Dlyp. Let's go, Jeep 2.
What would you do? Go to the finals. Win it for us. Thank you.
I
Welcome back to day 10 here at Master Santiago.
We had EMEA and the America share the stage and now it's time for China and Pacific to
take a turn.
It's all gamers versus Paper Rex.
Mimi Kukuka, we have low expectations of all gamers coming into that previous game.
They surpassed them by an order of magnitude, I would say, very impressed to see them bounce
back when it counts.
Yeah, it was an absolute incredible turnaround, even in that series, map one, the dreadful
dreary from all gamers, they come out on, dominate on map two, look cooked again, map
three, only to show us this incredible comeback to get their first global win.
I think that even right off the bat, even though they didn't get their first win on
map one, we did see a change in the perspective and especially the attitude that they were
showing on stage.
The ability also to bounce back on the second one, we started believing and on the other side we saw a Gentlemates that started getting too overconfident and ended up not getting much.
I think we got to see that skill expression. The individuals really step up on a Gentlemates.
After their first match against G2, it felt like all gamers were just here to make up the numbers, but I tell you what.
After this sussy first match against Gentlemates, we saw something click after Pearl as we headed over to Split and then on to Bind.
Now, I don't want to dumb this just down to their individual shooting properly.
So is there any deeper that we can dig?
Maybe look at the macro, maybe look at some of the intangibles here for all games that came online.
Yeah, I think that especially for the second map, first of all, the confidence was back.
And I think that they reminded what made their map strong and what things they could bring onto the table
that actually went onto their favor, reminded what they were doing back in China.
But I think what those things were, we're playing with a ton of confidence,
having their individuals in form and just constantly fighting.
I don't think there was some secret macro flip that switched in their heads.
I think instead they realized after losing map 1 that elimination is online.
They have nothing to lose.
They might as well just full send it and they started double-satcheling on every retake,
flying hyper-aggressive.
The individuals got hot, they got confident,
and that brought them back into this series.
It's how they won in China.
It's how they won that match.
But I don't think the pro was necessarily terrible,
but I do think that because of the overconfidence that Gentamates had,
They were put in positions like gentlemies were doing things that you normally wouldn't see and pushing in places that you
Only a team that is incredibly like not even considering you in the same tier would do against you
So so I think that that was the perspective for the second one
I think that Kira was absolutely insane and it started bringing everybody back online Francis also as well
It takes two teams for one team to win 11 rounds in a row
So I think you have to acknowledge that there was some choking some misplay some underperformance from mates
This wasn't just a complete masterclass from AG, but credit to them because they absolutely turned it around and they looked like themselves
You see it was giving some credit bar us at the analyst desk here a little cautious about how many accolades we want to throw in AG's way for now
However, let's go listen in to Fangir reflecting on AG's run of the event so far in a HyperX play moment
Hello guys, my name is Fangir. I'm playing Valorant on the dual list for all gamers
We were playing against G2, two mumps, you lose without any chance.
What was happening? It was our first match on the global stage.
Santicos was really next level because they were screaming, you hear everything,
you feel this energy, you're just shaking, and it's still amazing here.
Of course, everybody was cheering for G2.
If I wasn't fun, I was also cheering for this group. They're amazing.
For me, an interesting player will be Valin, for sure.
He's a really insane nightjail, and at the same time he's shooting at the next level, I'm pushing the mid,
and Valin just controlling me, and giving me one path instantly.
Thank you guys for cheering us. See you next match.
See, thank you. It just acknowledges that he's being pushed to level up his game.
whole of all gamers are and it's a question of how far can they go. Now things started
slow and that's serious against Jenna Mates, but if there was a turning point it was probably
somewhere around, I don't know, Kira getting an ace in the fist around on splits?
Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty obvious turning point from them.
Kira looked the worst of all gamers when they played their opening matchup.
Of all the gamers, yeah, he was making a lot of individual mistakes, he looked very
shaky when they played on split, but he immediately turned it around on this map. I won a lot
in particular his movement on this race.
I think he looks really good with that double
satchel pathing, knowing exactly where to land himself
to isolate these fights and just having the confidence
to fight into multiple players at one point.
That was insane.
Yeah, that was ridiculous.
It's so rare to see a rocket get that many.
And do not forget, here is also a look at the numbers,
but do not forget, here is also IGL in this team.
It's been a long time.
I know that we have players like Forsaken
on the other side that will play a little bit
of everything and also call some of the shots.
But I think that especially from that one,
2 map 2, he brought all the confidence that was needed.
He proved to the rest of the team that they could do it.
I want to take a step deeper into this all-gamers mentality,
especially today, now knowing what opponent stands in their way.
So let's cross to Shrimp for the bit of a chat with Jen Lee.
Jen here with Shrimp of AG and Echo for some translation.
Now Shrimp, last match, you guys look like yourselves
and you played like yourselves.
Are you going to keep that going today?
You said people cry, right? And we will going to play every single match as it's our last one.
So you're going to make more people cry today?
What are we taking away from that? Outside of the distinct lack of LaVooBoo's on the back.
I saw a couple of Kiribis. Kiribis?
Is that the type of little guy in this gang?
I don't know the etymology of the different little guys, but I will say,
I think this matchup, stylistically you might think, all gamers is a team that likes chaos.
They like to crawl, they want to bring the fight to you.
Paper X is the same. That could mean there's an advantage for them to get in.
I don't think so. And my main reason for saying that is because I think Paper X
The paperbacks are the best team in this tournament.
It absorbing aggression and in very chaotic rounds,
still setting up crossfires, playing together.
Even in this loss against NRG,
I think they showed that prowess.
I'm gonna talk about this bind cop
because it was a little spicy.
Almost a throwback to like that Gekko Harbour
current post-plant era of like 2020.
I remember like Levy at the time with Aspas
playing it pretty extensively.
They put something similar, you know,
the set of paperbacks.
I think that they've experimented a lot.
But it doesn't quite get them across the line here.
NRG seemed like they were able to adapt
or at least throw their minds back to a time
but I had to deal with this part.
See, here's the thing.
I see the intention.
The problem is that energy also saw it from the beginning.
You have to understand the strengths that it has.
First of all, a lot of utility on the attack.
Like literally, there's a lot of little animals
coming at you.
There's everything from Sky, everything from Gecko.
And especially the changes to Harvard.
This code can be an absolute nuisance
and a pain in the ass to go up against
because you have to break it.
So many things will make it easy for you
to get the spike down and then to defend it.
But energy, I thought, understood
when they have to use the utility to counter it and when to use the bullet you in comms
there you were listening into what the players were talking about in that match. What was
the what was the I guess the the type without giving a lot away well one a lot of prison
like they were a very high happy each other out. I think that matter had incredible plays
that were some of them were on the fly that were incredible. But yeah they were very
aware of like the space that were given and want to use the utility not right at
the beginning but also more to counter it. Yeah looking at that game I see it as
a risk going into a rematch,
right? They see their opponent
leave that bind open. They have
a new comp. They expect something
different themselves, but they
lose in a close game of adaptation.
It went to over time that first
map. It was just as close in the
second map. This very easily could
be a paper X already looking ahead
to day three. I don't look at that
and think that they failed in their
approach of trying new
compositions. I think they took a
risk against the team that
currently looks like the best team
in the tournament and it just
barely didn't pay off. Something
was also look like he was back to business in that game against NRG. Even on that bind
game, so many util-based kills, but even earlier on, they pick up the scope, weapon, and just
being that threat in the server, we kind of know him to be.
I think that especially this Outlaw Highlight that we were seeing on Parallel Cliptings incredibly
even, but as we're saying, with the changes to Gekko, the fact that you can retrieve
some more of the utility that it lasted a bit longer, I think that through pastry
he's been one of the best geckos that we've had.
Not the time to get out of the operator, but I think that all in all, he continues the
narrative that we were having of something in the Swiss stage.
A little bit shaky, but here in play, you see he's delivering.
Especially in the skin that was so close, I think where his impact this coming was
punishing NRG when they were going for bonus round buys, or when they were kind of normally
wanting to go for that half armor that we know them for.
They had to keep forcing their economy to buy full with how much he was abusing
that outlaw, which meant that it was a lot easier for Pygrex to snowball some of those advantages
and actually reset NRG to a full eco, which so often they just don't have to eco.
Yeah, there are a number of teams that have been picking up those outlaws early and punishing
NRG for that tendency, and obviously PRX are able to as well. Someone we haven't talked about yet,
which is crazy, is Jing. They caught up earlier with Jing Lee, so let's see what he had to say.
Jing here with Jing of Pygrex. Jing, Alex talked about how tough the screams were against
all gamers, but when lights are on you guys always show up. So same story today?
Yeah, I think like we have a lot of experience so hopefully that experience will be put to good
use today and we will come up on top of it. Okay, good vibes? Good vibes and yeah, we will not
cry today. Okay, that's good. Smile.
No crying. That's what I like to hear in my video game. Fantastic. Hopefully the emotions
are much more positive instead now let's jump into the map because i'm curious are we going to see
that bind once again picked or left in rotation and floated let's find out
hey everybody we're gonna start map selection grx as you thought to the lower bracket later
you are ready for starting here it's in here it's in here it's in here it's in here it's in here
okay what's your first band oh we're uh having i'm having okay grx what's your first band
Okay, what's your first pick?
Oh, they pick HFC...
Carl?
Yeah, Carl.
Okay, Carl.
Uh, PRX, your side on Carl?
Defense.
Defense.
Okay, PRX, you're not too quick.
Pick Boat.
Carl.
Okay, IG, your side on Carl.
Defense.
We have map 1 is Karo, with PRX on defense, map 2 is Perl with AG on defense, map 3 is
Split with AG on defense. Good luck everybody.
Okay, this is a really interesting map, Vito. The Karo pick from AG, we haven't seen that since
now back in our home region. And obviously, you got Perl for PRX, I get it, but they have
not been successful on that map so far yet. I think the context on Perl is that it was
against 10-0G in both those games, both times, sorry, because I still think they're a really
a great pro team and better than 80 there but 80 not picking the split which they
favored so much surprises me. Listen I think that they're going together as much
experience as they can from the international stage. Garode can be such a
surprise and I do not think that there is a universe where Paper X would imagine
them to be picking on that map only one showing and not a very good of a
composition and not a comfortable one for them so let's see. We're lucky we're
gonna end up on split at the end of this series this is all game is this is
their last chance with the whole region's hopes on their shoulders and PRX.
You don't care for narratives, they don't care for fairy tales,
they don't care for happy endings.
They're here to hold W and click heads.
Let's bring them onto the stage.
The hope of all China.
Oh, game!
The game play is a language and paper X are the most fluid linguists you'll ever see pure
instinct pure momentum these guys around here to cement a dynasty it's standing in
their way it's the upstart surprise prospects out of China we've seen the
good the bad the ugly from all gamers the question is which one do we get
today. This is the most familiar position for paper X to be in but win today puts him in there eight top four at a
global tournament in Valorant. They've been one of the most consistent squads with a consistent style that have been here
forever. They face against an old gamer who is so fresh, so new to this. Only two Chinese teams had made it into the top four
before. One just coming last year. Wolves on that incredible run. But that was the tournament where paper X
One an opportunity for them to shut them down and get another chance for a trophy and at the end of the day
All gamers came into this tournament as the first seed of China. Yes, there was a disappointing
First showing that we saw coming in from them
But they've been getting better and better learning from every second that they spend on that stage now
We've said it in the past the first time that you go on that's vapor X
It's a different experience, but the approach that we're seeing from the Chinese squad might change things around and actually
They can square up and square up to them. There's a huge difference in perspective of what happened with China. What happened with all gamers this event based off how they perform here. If they lose, get stopped by paper X today, the reflection will be, they choked and ate to lead. All gamers got an upset and there was nothing more to write home about if they really want to lead to themselves in the history books and make something for their region in this tournament.
They have to perform today. They have to show that they can compete against the top dogs.
The dissenting voices about the strength of that China region have been loud. They have been
multitudinous. However, all gamers have a chance to silence them in one fell swoop here today.
Their opponents fell to the world champions. Fair enough. NRG are quite the outfit, but I
know PRX, that's not acceptable to them. I fear for any table or drywall installation within a
5 mile radius of Alex after that result yesterday and the same as today. He will be expecting nothing short of
Perfection from his team. Yeah, we have to think about the maps, right?
We have to talk about the grounds that we're going to be seeing today with Corode being that first map as we're saying for AG
It is a surprise that they pick it because they only play it once back in the region
But at the end of the day if you want to surprise play something that you haven't played in the tournament already
and that has to be corrode. You do have some showings on how Big Rex likes to play this map.
And probably we expect kind of some changes in the composition, would you say Mimi?
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they do change it up. They were playing the energy champions comp here with the KO,
Sova, solo Duelist wayline. It's a great comp on the map,
but most teams have still moved towards the double Duelist instead, putting the Yoru into that KO slot and switching it up a bit.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the direction that they take it here.
Yeah, go see these double controller variants pop up a heck of a lot on
Okay, wouldn't be the crazy scene would drive into that now is we're gonna have some agents at the very least
Hobbit all game is gonna lock this cup away pretty quick. Thank you. It's gonna be on the chamber. Give you the lowdown
I think that the chamber was really bad against the old paper X comp where they had a million flashes running that Phoenix
against this edition that we first saw PaperX debut against NRG.
It is a lot better, I feel like. There's not a lot of tools besides that fade and that waylight actually push him off the line.
So I think this is a solid choice of change for all gamers.
If anyone knows how to keep things calm and collected when PaperX are going crayon, I can't even start it with a straight face.
That's sickly, I said pipe it then. Take it away.
Thank you very much, Uber. Here we go into another bout, another team to be eliminated today.
Will it be the departure of a region with all gamers making their exit?
Or will it be Paper Rex cutting it down the Pacific remainers in half?
It's a great question.
I mean you have to have some fear here as Paper Rex because AG showed that they have the gumption to really
push teams to the limit to take some big wins and these are teams who are familiar with each other through scrims over in Asia
So there's gonna be some ideas that they understand of each other's play styles of each other's nature
But for Paper Rex, they finally are out of America's jail.
Let's see if they can make the most of it.
Hit the dry of their hands out of different region.
Falling shot in the hands of NRG.
HE though looking to continue as Mimi was saying proved that it was not just lightning in
a bottle.
Proved that it was not just a fluke.
The proof that they are the first seed and they demand and command the respect.
Just got that good to be coming in, fangir, in with the final kill of the video.
Something's going to be taken down, AQ 1, but two nice reply kills now over.
He's in there with a player damage, and now it's just subtly forsaken, left alive.
Great opening, Polly, is AG.
Well set to close out this opening pistol on Corode.
Not going to come forsaken out yet, but definitely has his work cut out for him.
Has the sheriff felt?
Shots rigged out, but GRQ is good for it.
And he is.
Finds himself his first kill.
This is another one that I want to zoom in on a little bit, GRQ, we've seen him bouncing around, he's been playing that way, he's been playing the Almond, as well as the Brimstone, but he hasn't been on the smokes, it's been a bit more lacking by comparison, how does he fare now showing the neon?
Yeah, I mean, so far so good.
That's for sure.
And if you can, you know, kind of keep that pace up, show us some good stuff.
And you get Kira, you get Fang gear, you get Shrimp,
popping off behind him, speaking up.
Look at the Shrimp spray.
But I think this is going to be a comp that PaperX are familiar with.
This is what RRQ ran against them when they faced off in the lower finals, best of five.
But they did drop to it.
So it is a comp that I think, you know, AG, wise to bring out here.
out here. If you can get some good stuff out of Fangir on that chamber, kind of
replicate some of what Jemkin's able to create with that agent. Real mismatches
in mid in particular. I think you've got yourself a pretty decent chance here with
this change up. A lot of different buys. Kira's the only one with the full rifle.
Couple of specters. Marshall and AU1 just gonna stick with the bandit.
That's one bandit and a sheriff on the other side.
Oh.
I'm going to play this very quietly though.
There's contact about to happen over at A Hall and that's going to be AU1 getting the best
of Divy.
Bennett put the use, doesn't even suffer a lick of damage.
Now the rotations will begin.
Something else.
I'm going to spot anything in and around that mid position and now AU1 going to continue
to push forward trying to get into a flank spot to accept some of these rotations,
get a couple more kills and ult charge.
Let's just go full 4 player cluster down through B main, re-wrap, cross through mid.
They will be fighting Fengir here, Marshall in hand.
With overwhelming, they will be able to do so for Sake who finds the kill, but now AU1
peeking out.
Top mid finds himself a third clean headshots, bringing through, looking for a little bit
more.
If he can get it, he can!
Right there on the cusp of that ace will be denied by Jing, but AG will not be
the night at the round all right doing what you need to do here keeping the big
guns into the next round for AG the two specters and the phantom is gonna be able
to swing a little bit more into the economy for this bonus he has looked
great on that gun it's a natural at the bandit putting it to great use there
that first headshot on the divide close range where it's gonna be best
And he wanted one more.
Can't be too upset.
Don't let the lack of an ace be the thing that crumbles you mentally.
Well, he's back into this downhouse after having a hand.
Whoops.
That, uh, sees didn't go where you meant it to there, Shrimp.
Ain't nothing but a thing.
We'll just keep on going.
He's had a few struggles with some of you, Till.
All good.
They couldn't bait out the wall, though.
Oh, does still stand.
Micah's poking and prodding.
It's a kind of wall.
Maintain its structural integrity for quite some time now.
It's AG.
Backpedal away from the Zaymaine location.
Moving into mid.
I don't know if people are actually watching this.
But he widely just situated on the sites themselves.
A little bit concerning to see some of these U2 mishaps early.
One of the things that definitely plagued AG in their first match against G2
a lot of miscues that cost them a little bit,
kind of led to some costly rounds.
Now there you go, finally going to get that wall popped.
It's going to keep a couple extra players over
on the other side of the map.
Wind up in the relay as well.
GRQ storming forward, able to swap the weapons around.
But for a brief moment, Forsaken does take his head off.
A little bit more pixel angle.
Pass the back away.
Now getting ready to come through,
and it's going to be a multiplayer face forward here.
for sake and Kira will be the one to do it.
They have something on Kira, able to find a vine out.
Suddenly this bonus conversion is looking,
oh but guaranteed for HG.
paranoia out, Ching cannot find it.
That leaves now just something still a whirl the way.
So I'm searching for any kind of late lurk around mid,
will not find it, just has to tuck in,
hold on to this weapon HG,
and have themselves a 3-0 start on Corode.
Yeah and they're going hunting already.
Something gonna have his work cut out for him here potentially
Gonna be coming at him
Relatively soon thing here and down towards the attacker spawn seems like not really
Assessing this connector position, so we'll be able to retain that handle after all
That is still a very rocky start
Here I get the binoculars out looking for paper X because right now they're not showing up on this map
Yeah, I mean, Paper X is pretty static in this round.
They're holding kind of some positions that are pretty easy to read.
You get completely nailed by different pieces of utility there as Envy just get wiped out.
Kira picking up right where he left off the other day.
Looking for where my opponents at? Where'd they go?
Knocked them out, got the bonus, got the third, and Paper X already needs to take a timeout.
probably needs to talk about how they want to approach this map a little bit more.
I think a little bit more mid control, being a little bit more kind of fluid on the map.
It's probably something you're considering here already.
But see, Alex, not super angry or anything, but just trying to get the voice situated.
Again, they've seen this comp.
They kind of know what it does.
But it's another thing to execute against the team
that you haven't seen play up before that is bringing it out for the first time here.
how, you know, their stylistic differentiation compared to what you saw against RRQ, it's gonna fair.
That's all the time remaining in the quarteries win condition.
Alex, even the players of their own devices, once again, we saw how
aggressive he was with the timeout calls just yesterday.
Helped the need to try to commit those very early on, especially on-bind.
Both him and Bonkar.
Yeah, it's a lot of proactivity.
He wants to be able to relax a little bit more for the rest of this half.
And Bonkar talked about it in the post-match interview, that it's about assessing the composition
and what they're trying to, you know, establish with it.
And that's why when you see a new comp that you're not used to as a team, you might be
more prone to call an earlier timeout.
Something's skirting the edge, gets the first, wow, what a shot on the fangir.
You're dead.
And you won.
You got a couple shots.
So we've got interest drum-double that's on the map here now going for timing
Just misses the window to be able to get a punishment on the jing
Now player advantage to paper racks
This is what I like to see from paper rex take a little bit of map control
Got long a you've got mid so you're gonna put some pressure on it for second on the viper, but
It's got a little bit extra help with the vice util there
So I can play a little bit of stall maybe four some mid rotate
Catch him off guard around this corner.
Triple stack in the mid, MV trying to play them in.
There's another smoke, just going to be cycled forward.
Here now with one of his own considering it over towards yard.
Meanwhile, AU1 will lay out down to 7 health.
Something still untouched there as he's
going to be able to finish the job.
Finds a headshot now.
Two players in advance.
The backpedal, PaperX have already displaced out of mid.
Space going to be rescaled by AG as MV goes for the jump peak.
spots him out.
Paranoia gonna be sent to Relay Bolt, not gonna get the
Kepsep Riler there, trying to slow them down, but GRQ so
sliding forward, is able to find the elimination on the enemy
fade.
So you can tuck to your center site, moving, swaying his
up, but he's being corralled from both sides.
Should be dead to the right, so we'll just be able to get
the one shot there on the GRQ, but cannot find the kills.
And now a 3v3, but weapons are recovered.
Firepower now in the hands of Paper Rex.
trying to get this one out of the line, but GRQ, the quick peek, the quick shutdown, something now dead.
Looking for the shot, the vibes doesn't find the timing. Now, all of Xing finds the first Kira,
to that top shed. 56, handling is the corner. Doesn't certain where he's at as he chiggles out
the TP forward. GRQ will find him. A 4k to get the fourth round win, AG denying a thrifty.
This is a great round from AG. They're able to dissect the early aggression macro that Paper Rex shows off of their timeout.
And because they're able to displace the two players who had pushed up to the very front of mid-bottom,
and they hear those footsteps because they have to run back, there might have been some utility or something,
but they're able to then know they saw something. One on Long A, they see two in mid.
They know that that means B is the weak side and they could try to punish that.
And that's exactly what they do. Really smart on the fly thinking.
Thank you. Just hoping for that jump he can manage to pull the trigger on it. So something breathe the sigh of her leave.
He's alive at least for a bit longer in the round.
People are actually really committing more resources to mid and continuing to follow up on those ideas they talked about in the time out.
Looking this down.
All are not going to get a spot on anybody.
Try to refill that space.
Something swinging forward.
Very fast refract, so back out to safety.
Jin still assessing where they want to go.
Just tuck away, re-rotate back across towards the B site,
with three players waiting from Paper Rex.
All that vice-util still situated.
There's a crawler, going to be cleared out.
Trying to disguise this operator even further.
Something just sending out that saturate,
trying to slow them up on this approach.
Jin at the same time, TPing over.
Joins to this side of the map, 35 seconds remaining, AG gonna have to start making a goal of this one sooner rather than later.
Already too late to try to rotate towards that A side of the map.
Time very well, could just get away from him here, but now he's exactly ready to come through.
Flash to try to slow him off the re-swing in to buy, not able to find a kill.
She's gonna be digging down but not before he's firing shrimp.
He'll want to now fall in. Something alone at back side, comes away with two.
Rantically tries to run, just a spray.
With 10 seconds remaining, the plant will come in, fangir.
Into the 1v1.
The panel in hand as he anticipates survival from Forsaken.
Still working his way in, around the back trying to assess it.
Fangir has every which way to try to check is going to have to try to lock on.
Forsaken will be able to find him.
Damn narrow margins, but Paper Rex will get themselves on the board in round five.
Yeah, and it just took a pretty good read here from Paper Rex.
They don't find any contact that long a so they're gonna lean over to the other side of the map my god thing here
That was some great shooting
one out that
One out that head under but oh man
Nasty work to get in there just guessing long on the time in a tough position to be in
Forsaken
It's a much needed win through but you're gonna have a bunch of alts to consider here
A.G. is quite a bit at their disposal. You do have a convergent path, so that's paperwrecks.
So a little bit of stall, a little bit of anti-executive they want.
And here, pops is all going to buy a gun. Everybody just going to be trying to take some mid-control.
They're going to be successful in doing so. A lean towards A.
There's an oil burn there by Shane, and set up something on that peek out into B main.
Nothing spotted, now, the executive end to come through, but in the final one, Shrimp gonna be eliminated.
Spotted on the G-RQ, get that, sees out of hands, the overdrive's gonna be pumped, the sliding divide able to find his first kill.
The G-RQ will get cut down mid-slide, re-peaks for a little bit more though.
And you want a little humbling, just poking and brawling, looking for that kill, not quite
able to land it.
It's still being brought forward though.
HG have widely been stopped for their tracks.
They have a little bit of time to rethink this approach if they want.
Something's going to be trying to thwart that attempt if possible.
Bang here.
Nice.
Nice.
The kill.
Still two players nearby.
That brings it into that 3v3.
Now he's all going to go across.
The pick is going to be Vest and Jing.
Not ready for that angle, Fenger.
Scoops up the Phantom, utilizes it against Paper X.
And now there's a pit in play.
What are you meant to do from here?
It's just there on the outside.
Something, this is his spot.
He has won so many rounds in the global stage
from this very position,
But he's just a hero on five of the Viper.
Now the push out of AU1.
Instantaneous with the punish.
And being able to find the kill at the time is dwindling.
Would have to make a go of it.
Would have to start diffusing right here, right now.
Scoops up the Phantom.
We'll have to just run away with this one.
AG not allowing for PaperX to fight
any consecutive round wins.
They'll move up five to one.
Yeah, I think just a little bit of an overstep from Divai when he goes for that counter swing in towards a link.
Kind of just feeling himself a little bit too much here.
You get that early kill advantage with Envy getting the freebie through the smoke,
and this opens up a little bit extra space for Fang gear.
And Jing just guessing where his opponents might be and guesses incorrectly.
It's kind of some individual moments for paper racks that just are not the best and
Alex not thrilled
That's more concerning or less now apparently out just this this way this push forward from grq
Four players stacked. They're outside of B, but it's going to be a solid little drift away ish
Frimp. Sending out that prowler. I think AG's not really looking to try to play into this side of
the map anymore. Being said, help the C's over the top. Swing out for Sakin. Loses his life
immediately. Refract going to be taken by something. He'll compete. Looking for a
more here is GRQ but Indy will be able to cut him down, they him to now
connecting. The hog gonna be cleared out, they're gonna be able to find something.
As the rest of AG comes swooping around out from mid. It's might need to be
recovered, but Indy shutting him down.
On for a second ace here at Master Santiago, can he find it? He cannot.
She will take the kill. I don't think they're too concerned about that. It's a
MasterCard for it for PaperX
Okay, well they're able to kind of gamble correctly here and you know even with the information to declare the haunt AG still wants to challenge it
And I guess I kind of get it but in the
Just in a perfect position with this phantom to do some damage playing off of his teammates. Whoo. That's second one there
Beautiful
Now I think I'm gonna see a pause here from AG
be trying to get ahead of this don't let paper X get any momentum make sure that
hey our game has been trying to work the map that's been working really well we've
been finding their weak side most of the rounds to be honest I can only think of
two where they did it they still ended up winning one of them but just got to be
a little bit more thoughtful there don't try to challenge paper X because
the best talked about it if you want a brawl yeah they're one of the best
in the business.
Yeah, I think the quit is win condition here for AG off the back of this time out.
Just don't let paper X heat up.
Yeah.
Let's keep icing them.
Let's keep playing our game.
Let's keep rotating around the map, having this push and pull, and avoid pulling into
some of those potential traps.
And that one's just NBA going crazy, which can happen to the drop of a hat.
Sure.
We've had a couple of ACs this year, so I doubt that NBA can be a game changer.
on paper x can be of course but yeah definitely don't want to let them accelerate you're gonna be
a little bit weakish on the cashier as ag for the first time
hang here just gonna rock the headhunter it looks like
i'm tupping over to try to tee up something but somebody home this time an immediate change of
ideas. They group up towards mid, anticipating this prowler.
They want to do that same crunch into the B side from mid, but we'll back away.
They haven't seen anything, and to them that means it's probably an A weak side.
They're going to try to set up a bit of a crunch here.
So, Seiken and Jing. Long time duo.
Oh, he's taken down after he finds QRQ, pushing on the swing out to confirm that kill.
It's taken a little bit longer than he would have liked, but she is able to confirm it now.
Urgent pass is going to be invested, I believe only catching on to 81, the rest of the players
able to avoid this.
Smokes are going to be cycled through, swing out, 81 going to get caught up, something
able to collect his head.
4v2, Sekira and Shrimp remaining, those of them so instrumental in their series win over Mates.
Can they find their footing here?
Smoke will fall, Kira gonna be good for the 1 and Shrimp will just be overwhelmed.
Paper Rex not allowing for that timeout call to find value.
It will continue to run this one back now, a deficit of just two rounds.
That really nice discipline play here from Jing not giving up too much a little bit shaky on the first
Attempted spray on fangir, but he gets it under control in the long run
It's amazing for Zagan even gets one there. He's getting swarmed by three different players
Then you know use that conversion pass to buy you some space for the retake
You only had one PCU till to worry about there after something gets his first kill. That was the Cs
really patient spamming that box that gave Jinx some problems earlier so
already seen problems being corrected in the heat of a moment for paper Rex in
the middle of the match. Flash out looking for a crunch to haunt for Veal.
Sir on a GRQ but doesn't get taken down. Doesn't mention he survives now the wall
gonna be baited out. Here sticking around. Triple stack though from paper
He says he doesn't want to stand in position, but that blind, this absolute monster has worked for them.
They clean up this B main, and now the site is primed for the taking.
So they're still just lingering back through that mid connector, not quite getting caught there by AU1.
He's thinking as his work cut out for him.
Get forward onto the site, gain some space that Pip could come into play.
Well, just a lob in. On the snake bite, it's Jing. She's forward, looking for a target.
Drop down. Shots, starting to fly.
Little bit of poison orb in hand, but these smokes have allowed for Fangir to completely reposition the pit considered for a moment.
So Han gets cleared. Jump peek back across the opposite side, and Fangir is just playing the ring around the road.
He's taking eventually, he's able to bind it, but now he is all alone.
C's not the connect turns back and AU1 will catch him completely off guard
Raps with the gun will not be able to escape but AG get up to six even though it's not a thrifty
Technically it definitely feels like one the week by that AG brings in here beautiful paranoia beautiful setup the counter
This three-man hold that paper X is trying to go for that one needs to be rethought a little bit
You're just, with that spacing, you're just giving too much opportunity for something like a paranoia to just knock you out of the round.
Well, frustration is starting to build.
Pain smile is gone. Pit gonna be invested.
From the outset, something gonna be riding through this.
See if he can catch somebody off guard and Kira might just be playing right into this one.
Oh, he's just smart.
Here's the footsteps. He hears them rotating out.
You will not be able to find a kill here on either side.
Meanwhile, A-U-1 takes out the Vi.
Just peeking from behind the box at A-Main.
Vi's been having a tough go of it.
1-8 with a long time set, Dallin.
You don't have that wall for that extra bit of safety,
so I'm going to start clearing some of that space
with the util.
Indy sends out one of his prowlers.
Confirms some presence, but A-G is
going to use that opportunity to make a rotate,
but it hasn't changed much in the formation
and then a creep up from something.
It's going to be a yard split, or did they just
push up mid, trying to cut across game to B.
Swing on the corner, and GRQ's able to find something.
And now, yeah, they fancy their odds.
B will just push forward, suck them, navigate this pit.
Taken tucked away, now peeking out.
Eventually is able to find the kill.
Gets revealed to Pendiere.
Easily collect that elimination.
30 seconds left.
He's lost from Jing arriving at Heaven,
but it is smoked up for the moment.
It doesn't have an angle.
It's the same plant or shrimp.
He countered an old man shrimp.
Absolutely destroys him and in being no other record.
She has to stay tucked away.
Back on the opposite side of the map.
AG getting up to seven, guaranteeing a lead.
With a chance to stretch this one even further.
Could be looking at a nine and three half.
And this is one of those rounds that we saw early on where they're working the map.
They're pushing and pulling a bit.
It helps to get that first opening pill.
They can track Envy down here at all.
A little bit extra time.
Envy going to tuck into the corner.
Mace is in for it.
There's two targets there.
Fengiang will deny him carrying over the weapon.
Paper rex and dynastrates.
Once again, going to be shaken up.
But yeah, the way that they tee up this crunch,
with how much space that you're able to get
on the other side of that Viper's pit,
you're able to hear one rotating away.
Kira being able to kind of check on what's going on
on the main side of that Viper's pit,
they're able to set up that crunch nicely,
and a great haunt there to follow up
to make sure that Forsaken doesn't have any escape.
You know, he gets one, it's labored.
kind of struts out or some way that toward a force.
Do so.
The Paper Rex has already gotten one week by to go.
Gonna find another, they're making really fast rotates.
Just a little bit of mid presence, you know, a lot of the mid hits have been mid to B.
It's time though.
That wall there come to buy
that'll at least
Stall things out a little bit, but I don't know if it's going to be enough to really slow them down
Let's see if they just want to accelerate off the back of that or it's maybe a bait
Office and so far pay bricks the little remaining stag in on B
By usually so very reliable when it comes down to having that sheriff in hand
mentioned to very rough start of this map for him
Shout confirming President's rotation is now getting started, the night ball gonna go across.
He will tuck into the corner, but Lee, just barely, no, does get caught by the fact.
I thought he had a tiny little pocket to play into, but he's losing his audio on GRQ.
Make sure that he loses his life.
You're looking for the catch in the mid, put some damage down on the in-be and out, toward a force.
He's not on the angle, but something's still in the middle.
If the cross is out of the repeat, it's gonna be good.
Bang gear, shuts him down.
Now a 3v5, their own right-pull available, but likely to look to invest that here, and
now you've got the flank coming in, Kira scaling all the way up the top mid-paranoia, it's
going to be big.
You just can't push deep enough off of that to really finally be punishing out Menger
again.
The game inside is able to find the one.
Jing, Kira on the side comes up a three.
We've been ace clutch in AU1.
One will not allow him to take that extra step.
AG up to eight.
This is just incredible stuff from AG.
They are being so thoughtful on the map, so smart,
constantly putting paper wrecked in bad positions,
constantly tricking them into thinking
that they're doing one thing when they're doing another.
And this time, a lot of times they pop the wall
and they take it a little bit more time
or gone to the other side.
This time they pop the wall and just take a pause
And then poor device all on his own gets nightfalled, and it's just curtains.
She makes a go of it there, but it's just too little, too late.
And now it's going to be a tumble off set up, thank you, and Kira.
He's having those snipers.
He's going to have towards the box, smoke going to be blooming.
He's in beat.
Slowly sliding forward here, and out of the corner of the prowler, going to go out.
And thank you, still finds the shot!
Whoa!
Still takes care of something, and now shrimp!
Look at me play it in 81 20th the fray
To be to suddenly shing you will find those eliminations for sakin
We give him gathered over on this side of the map the paranoia is there for sake
It's just absolutely blinded up, but maybe if he didn't pull the trigger maybe they would have noticed him
He's just out into the open and now jing
He's way over known for that mid connector it would seem spikes still not yet planted
What does A.G. want to do?
For a minute they might try to rotate through spawn or something weird, but...
And their own Omenult. They could do this if they think that
Jhin's gotten far enough away from the A site.
He throws a smoke over there towards Link to try to sell that he's coming from that direction.
30 seconds left.
It's going to make too big of a difference here. He's still figuring out where the hell they went.
The plant did not come in. He's rechecking. He's rethinking this, thinking maybe
It ended up on A, but now here's the plant coming through.
And this buys so much extra time for H.E.
TP, back towards that defender spawn area, checking around,
trying to spot him out, nothing gonna be seen.
As he gets tucked into that mid connector,
this really narrows down the potential options.
Now they have the info.
Dropping down into the side tapping,
watching that push coming through the relay pole.
However, he's going to be connecting.
He's expecting that swing from up above.
Kira doesn't need to get involved.
The GRQ will finish it off.
And AG, lock up a 9 and 3 half.
Man, they look great on this comp.
They are so thoughtful about this map.
Bang gear was absolutely nuts on the chamber, too.
Exactly what you needed here as AG.
They are heated up nice and early here.
R-A-G, paper wreck, still looking shaky.
And they rally back.
Can they find the opening?
Pistols, red jumps up the second half.
Half won't find out after the break.
Let the kids win!
Let the kids win!
Let the kids win!
Let the kids win!
Let the kids win!
I guess I'm the most lost one
We are back and about to go into the second half of Corona, opening map in this elimination
series between Paper Rex and all gamers.
At the moment, all the gamers have been gaming Paper Rex.
Very much less so.
Just three rounds accrued from the defending side, now swapping over onto the attack.
And this is just going to be another example of Pickarex leaning back into that single duelist
and then not fighting success.
Obviously, you brought up this composition early on in the tournament, was able to make
a goal of it, had success there, but right now it looks like they are struggling.
Yeah, it just feels like they're out of sync, they're not able to read the map well,
you know, on some of the rounds where they're able to get some control, but they
do well, but even then they were still bested in a couple of those by AG and AG
I have to just give them so much credit every round so different using conditioning against their opponents all these great little things that they're doing now
Who knows how attack side of this map is going to be for these two teams, but paper X
Got to get it started here on this pistol and paranoia of your duelist there probably intentional
You do see that because you can see to the edge of that position
Trademark clear but thank you're gonna be that first hurdle
That's the back of leg probably shoot cotton that
Split second of contact there for Indy, but it was a notice of thing here again.
Climbing and opening shot with that headhunter.
What spacing he had there. That was beautiful.
They're going to be coming from everywhere here on this retake.
This is going to be a very uphill battle for PaperX down a player.
Some early damage on the AU1.
Looking for the walk down through towards AA and GRQ.
He's going to be picked apart, he won that, dead Shrimp got as well.
Suddenly, it is just Fankir and Kira.
So, five balls remaining in this headhunter.
Kira forward into the smoke, able to find a vibe,
and for sake, it turns around.
Shep's down the enemy chamber.
People X, looking good.
Will be able to close out the pistol.
Bringing the deficit down to five rounds.
Yeah, they're able to just decide to group up.
Hey, we're a man down.
They're probably going to try to split the map a little bit.
Let's start cutting those players off with numbers.
That's what they do.
It's a big win there for Forsaken.
Then they see those bullet tracers flying
through the toxic screen.
We're able to answer that.
That's just good teamwork from Paper Rex.
You're going to need a lot more of that.
Forsaken at least is smiling and laughing.
Hopefully that is a good sign for Paper Rex.
The way that AG has been playing,
like the wife of Smiles off their paces very quickly.
GRQ trying to make a play with a frenzy,
but something will be able to sit him down.
Little head shot from the ghost.
Just a grab of the orb for him to convert your paths up.
That's a halfway.
They're just going to slow the pace down here.
Look to see if AG get a little over-aggressive,
but they're actually the ones trying to bait.
They're not going to push the issue.
Just going to spam some shots through there
to see if they could get Paper Rex to fall
for that aggressive position that Kira had taken
at the choke.
They've got these guys in their heads.
Obviously, if scrimby gets paper X plenty in the past,
they've got to be wondering, man, where are they?
They don't play like this.
Yeah, a minute remaining in this one.
They haven't ran at it as yet.
This isn't right.
It's only a matter of time.
They start to run out of it.
And Forsaken will be able to find Kira Eakin from that mid.
Connector's something with another AE1 down on the floor.
Should be a very clean anti-eco for paper X.
kind of forward up to three deaths realistically in this round they're
gonna be looking to go for zero
Spangier headhunter trying to align those shots can't quite make it happen
Forsaken gets on the line back in from it's gonna be flawless paper Rex up to
five still four to go if they want to tie it okay maybe there's some hope here
for paper Rex you get this bonus then I'll be a believer again like the
paranoia there to follow up just in case there's more layers to that push out just
gr2 everybody just doing their job here checking their angles finding their
kills that's very efficient and again it seems like pay-for-rex you know a lot
of their game plan here is to just play together play for trades it works for
them that's where they're at their best
They're just gonna rock it in here.
They just didn't set up with the trademark there.
This is gonna go dashing in.
He can spot anything out, but with the frags back over to safety.
We have one of the three players back at least for now, but already some considerations
being had for AG.
This is the AU1 with the pivot over across towards mid.
Pond out onto B main.
Why do you think AG think the PaperX are going for this full pivot, but they
They do have two players very far forwarder they made.
Now it's a great pause and change of direction that they take here.
It has bought the extra player rotation.
AU1 has abandoned B site.
This was a really nice call from Paper Rex.
Should take too much longer though for them
to really get a sense of this.
But Paper Rex are able to get in, get a plant in that time.
This could be A.G. losing out on the round.
Swing in the corner though.
Shrimp is able to find one.
Something going to be taken down.
Shrimp himself though.
Fallen, the three health, does have the regen armor.
Took back away and Jing, hitters some Spang gear.
And Ronnie dude back, now gets caught.
Weapon gonna be swapped over.
Taking his dead playing forward, gets a spot out.
AU1 gonna be noted.
Jing just retakes back down,
trying to double stack that angle.
Locked him out of the site.
Finds the one, bounces way up the stairs.
Looks for a little bit more and will have it, Jing.
Three kills in his hands.
Looking for a little bit more.
Kira and Shrimp are heading for the hill,
Sprinting their way back towards a paper Rex gonna find the bonus conversion
I mean jing just toes the line between brilliance and stupidity
And this is this is great. I mean it it works out he gets three kills
But some of those moments where I was just like oh boy
You're you're flirting with disaster there, but where you're peeking out by yourself against you know a player who might have the
Advantage at you, but he's winning it
And he's 18 and 11. I'm not questioning it. That is the paper Rex way and
When he's on, he's on, and he is on this map for sure.
So the bonus converted, and okay, now I'm a believer again.
But I love the way he gets up into Heaven Quick, catches Fang gear off guard.
That's beautiful stuff right on its own.
GRQ there. Maybe expecting that Jing would fall back and he could change positions or something,
but Jing was just going for those kills the whole way, and he just barely got that vandal upgraded
For his opponent's got there
He's an outlaw for something
I'm a scuff by here, but everybody's one tap regardless
Something gets bigger than that. Yeah
Hasn't dead the rights so clean up kill
Cuneil yeah, he's gonna say he's been spotted. He's been tagged up all hell 14 health remaining now
With a neon movement good luck getting value off a side
Just one bullet to have him dead.
Hilo set up around the corner here at B main.
You're anticipating this.
You can clear it pretty easy with your U-Tilt.
Paranoia, you got it.
It's a haunt.
Good to send that one.
It's going to be something swooping forward.
And Trimp will be able to find the punish.
Exit cannot be had though from A-U-1.
And Trimp is going to be good for a second before Divy
takes him down.
Three players still alive.
Envy low on health.
It's a window, perhaps.
But G-R-Q's now been found and forsaken.
Clipping with a headshot just through the corner.
Here and now, trying to pull off a miracle.
Take a touch.
The second hits.
Seven and nine.
Another buy.
Come in here for AG, but paper racks.
They are storming the way back in.
And AG, looking at that to be considering that second time
out call somewhat soon.
Yeah, I really think they should just take it right now.
Because if you can get.
I just love it, I just love the confidence from something.
Just never afraid to take those shots, right on shrimp to get a couple there, but
I mean a little bit more diligence for Paper X, probably something they're going to learn from to clear that angle, but
you can maybe at least get a piece of U2 out of that in future rounds as AG.
Like you mentioned, could use the haunt or something.
They're going to press, WIC.
I think they're trying to counter.
TP set up.
They're taking asm.
I think they're again dead in mid.
Oh, false forsaken.
Just able to find him there.
Operator now gone.
This convergent path is going to be invested.
TP away from that one from Kira.
This man to get out towards safety.
Smoke cycle 4, GRQ there around the corner.
Could be a yard side corner, playing for Envy.
I think this is difficult.
It's humanly possible for AG.
They really need shrimp.
They try to break through to find this kill on a forsaken.
I've seen so many reinforcements, so many players around him.
Thorns now cycled in buying times, denying the scale forward.
Another smoke, layered in from Jing, and something, ready for the mid-intro backstab.
Keeps it quiet for now, swoops out.
Finds AU1.
Shrimp already position noted.
Will not be able to find a damn thing.
Four players still alive.
Eight to nine.
Paper racks.
away from tying this up.
I mean, in some ways, this is kind of AG
getting a little taste of their own medicine
after what they were able to do against Mates on Vine.
They were able to string so many rounds together
in a row when the map flipped.
But they had a perfect half.
Yeah, they had a perfect half.
And that's where Paper Rex is looking to go.
And I mean, you've kept these old cycles really
suppressed for AG.
You can't get in to like the two of the fours
even for this round.
You're not there yet. You're gonna have to eco. That's huge for Paper Rex.
It's also sometimes when Paper Rex gets a little bit sloppy.
See if they can avoid that here.
String just messes around.
Up in the boxes. You're trying to peek anybody in mid.
Thank you.
Dial in the angle, but die.
Collects himself the outlaw.
We know how damn clean he could be with those Cybers.
Now into the open, we'll be able to find one String going to be taken down.
We would love to recover this weapon.
The two players guarding it, it's forsaken, we'll be able to find Shrep.
Do not read.
This flank from behind, so here maybe with an opportunity, grabs up that phantom.
He's going to be scaling in very quickly.
He's making this a bat ball.
The client had that wall from behind, he's not there, and yeah, he's able to peek
and he finds in the 81.
81 gets another and there's the master card drifting
That's exactly what I was talking about sometimes that overconfidence
Losing track of players positions
Not considering all possibilities
It's a great read from the IGL
And another bandit hold for a you one just give the kid that gun he is
He's filthy with it.
You have that paranoia there too, his cure to follow it up.
It's that he's that extra layer because they're tucked in on both sides,
all the bottom mid, and Paper X only gets one,
and they don't see anything else, so they think, okay, it's done.
Just kind of not really realizing the possibilities there.
Down the door is helping. Fanger does have that operated.
Granted, it's been shut down. These last several rounds.
Ooh, something.
Fracting out of there.
The operator is online and even if he loses it here, we'll have the Tour de Force into the next round.
Ultimates starting to get cycled up here for AG. This is a very dangerous time for Paper X to have dropped that thrifty.
Yeah.
Really, really.
I just wanted to say that if they can get into a post plan here, you have the Viper's pit.
Something to be taught up. They're trying to sell a little bit of a fake on the other side of the map.
Power's not very deep. Nobody even hears it on AG, so they can just keep weeding in, but they're gonna push out.
That's gonna be spotted, something, able to find the one.
Xing, now 20 of the fight, makes that trip as well.
Hit gets popped, now the pivot comes in,
Paper Rex working their way back across with that ace out of the map.
But no, the walkout, and now he can just nightfall through,
see there's nobody else forward on the site.
Just walk their way in to B.
That is a costly mistake here for AU1.
Thought that he was gonna be able to find the timing again, but...
Paper Rex this time.
They look back, they note it, made dispatch him.
Given that you have this operator, you can win that tour de force available.
You just want to hold on to it, you want to save.
Paper X once again.
Getting within touching distance.
Yeah, it's kind of one of those fool me once situations.
I am impressed with Paper X today at some of the adjustments they're making round to round
where they're kind of realizing their mistakes and trying to correct them not on the first half as much, but definitely here on the second half where
Kind of remembering the tendencies of their opponent
This is gonna have to be one hell of a shot from something
Faker will be able to retain the operator pretty cool that they hold on to those two weapons
Well the players here on the team hurting as far as the money's concerned should be able to scatter out a five AG
not able to advance past that 10-round mark quite just yet.
We're going to see this from AU1's perspective.
Just thinking he's remembering what something
did earlier where he tucked into that back corner
off of the pit.
Tried to check that first to pay the price.
Great discipline being shown and now AG
has to go for their second time out before paper Rex does.
So, going to be put to the test now.
See what the adjustments they want to make are.
I think a little bit more mid pressure would be nice.
You're going to have that operator kind of cover some of that space.
Nobody on paper X is opted to go into it just yet.
I mean, that should give you pretty solid control over it.
Yes, there's a lot of controllers in the map that can kind of make that a little bit uncomfortable.
But that's where they were at their best.
Getting those reads on paper X rotations.
Don't try to brawl and try to outthink them.
That's how a lot of teams are finding success against paper X.
Outmaneuver them, catch them where you, where they least expect you, seems like energy are really good at that.
Just a nightfall, one away from an overdrive as well. 4-H, he tried to utilize.
Of course, two half.
Operator in the hands of thank you, but he needs to get set up in a position to be able to prop it from it.
Paper Rex back the timeout all from A.G.
Stacking on to this side of the map.
See if Vangier can shut them down.
Looks like another A-split.
trademark will be there though.
A little bit of...
Oh, he's going for the sword force as well.
Oh wow.
He's just gonna go for Stacker.
That's your firing speed here.
You're gonna react to the flood of Paper Rex.
Max, here comes Sprinting at him.
Come on, he's sliding forward just on the corner.
Fowler hitting the check.
Runway across as well, AU1 having to tuck back.
Once again a smoke going to be tackled into the base.
The Thorn's now set up and a pit in place.
Something tucked away.
Connected position.
Let's see if he can intercept.
He might just have to hear a following right into his lap.
He's aware of this at all.
Silent drop down.
And he is something.
Very much off on that spray.
You're able to collect a kill, but then you're now going to be taken down.
Shrimp dead as well.
Elimination onto the sideboard.
GRQ able to find the one.
It'll be dropped!
He won!
EDS 10.
To my dead.
And now it's all on Envy.
The time, however, is gone.
And Envy still holds his own.
Cleans up the 3K.
And we are tied up 10 to 10.
Oh, boy.
Not as close as it gets there.
Looks like there was an opportunity for AG.
And I cannot believe they almost get through there.
But now there's no up.
I get one and a half of the Tour de Force.
So you can shoot a little bit faster,
shut the bound a little bit quicker.
And now you don't have either of those.
The money just will not be there to afford it.
You might not be able to get one online.
the whole rest of his map at this point.
I didn't quite get it either.
Just think that you did to your Q down to 48.
It's the region armor at least.
It's a hell of a reply from something.
I'm curious if maybe
Aperrex would think about an op of their own at some point
something a little bit different.
I'm surprised that the line is not gone for, you know,
the attack out now. Yeah, or that. Yeah, not the economic shake up there. Right.
Only Kira with the full armor. That's a good point.
Well, they do have the neon all and the fade all here to kind of counter
whatever paper X wants to do. Rex just put the steel guard into at least
remove the guns potentially on the execute.
It's like this is going to be the site.
What's up in thank you're not going to be scouted by that
Fowler, TP forward right into his open arms figure,
able to fight two.
E1 has fallen, but the nightfall goes across and shrimp.
Able to mark the remaining players.
That spike is now stranded in No Man's Land.
Look, they're trying to recover this one.
Forces of A.G.
They're getting stacked up.
All four remaining players now in position.
Paranoia gonna be sent,
somebody trying to back away with a bit too late for that.
Shrenton's able to find him.
They just have to abandon this one.
A.G. are gonna be regaining the lead by one.
It's in the able to find A.Kill.
We'll make this a bit more costly for them.
Every elimination fairly critical given the economy at the moment.
A.G. regaining the lead by a single round.
Paper Rex completely held in their tracks there.
Spangier just goes completely unnoticed.
It's just again those little things sometimes for paper rex that they aren't
Mentally aware of you see it time and time again
When they get caught in those positions where somebody's tucked in a corner
In a weird spot, uh, maybe they're not expecting but I mean frisaken was living in that spot a lot on the other side of the map
She wasn't ready for it
That shuts the round down. That's it and then you can just kind of trade you till out as ag
because PaperX expended a bit to try to get the take to go so they throw the
saturate you throw the relay ball they throw something else you throw paranoia
and it's just round gun and dust it
well now much healthier buy for AG they look to take this up the map point
PaperX, I think it's Tyus once again just that seal guarded online for the moment
In the end something too away from their ultimates.
Critical trying to get this map over the line.
It has been hard fought.
It's been a very good attacker side for them.
And all that effort go in.
And have this slip away from them.
Could be brutal, potentially unrecoverable.
Poor paper racks.
One final timeout call from Alex.
Let's see if he can deny HG from getting up to 12.
And this is a pivotal round here.
In terms of keeping the economies in check,
don't want to let that operator get back into Fanggear's hands
to give him another chance.
Try to lock you out.
Get some value out of the Vizalt potentially.
They're just playing way far back.
They're expecting some kind of quick hit off of the neon.
You know, GRQ is sitting on that alt.
They thought maybe he might go for it.
Prex this time, still going in towards that B site.
This time AU1, a little bit, off into the corner, GRQ, right in that hut.
It's all just a bait.
Same exact spot.
Gonna go pushing into the B site this time, while it's scaled down.
Little peek out from that yard side from Kira.
Not noting anything here in mid, outside of that prowler.
Does not get any contact.
That collar does so that's not going to pull anybody over. That's going to keep the strong side over here on beat
Here's that skilled garden over tribes there to your cue. That's why he's the one playing down in this position
Paranoia goes out. He gets blinded up, but they are held at bay
Let's grab the orbit now an exit divide going to go on a leap linger it would seem
Let's Kira in this audio range
It's about falling there at the main divide trying to scale in behind the potentially make some noise it does cause them to turn back
But he's actually calling this bike back over. It's 20 seconds remaining
This could be absolutely devastating. This could be everything for AG to try to close up the map
Clear the thorns the same bite lobbed in but they have to start pushing a GR kill
Manage the fight to
This might still down before Jane frantically trying to recover it, but a you won finds the kill the plant
I think it's too late now, it absolutely is!
Shrimp cleans up the Reminders!
He tells him to sit the hell down!
As A.G.
Get up the map point!
I think this is kind of a sound cue mistake.
From Paper Rex, they're making so much noise while they're trying to go for the rotate
that it doesn't fool anybody on A.G.
They're too aware of what you're trying to do.
And, you know, the skill garden there can be countered.
with the neon all so that's gonna go to waste every little piece in place there
for AG allows them to shut paper Rex down and they're one away from taking their
map pick a corrode
shrimp more than happy to dish out this trash talk
so for us to be reckoned with the series versus mates and now he is given
at the paper, Rex, it calls the stage as well.
Fall to Convergent Paths, online for Paper Rex.
We have two rounds to take this now into overtime,
and trademark is going to be around the corner.
Thank you.
Up top, up the box, ready to swing.
As he smokes, do dissipate.
Kira going to be caught on reveal,
and Kira taking down for sakin'.
We'll find that kill, thank you.
Still trying to hold his own,
it's going to be good for one,
but in the eventually, we'll flush him out.
The night ball now invested over towards the defender's side.
That one's home to get caught by it.
4v3 is the spike.
Now in play.
On that whole side, GRQ.
Needing to be the tip of the spear, it's AU1.
One hell of a shot to hit.
Jing now dead.
That splits the attention to paper racks.
GRQ tries to buy himself some space,
scaling forward the Cs around the corner.
Envy eliminated.
Something in the eye. Now having to do it all.
If I find he wants something into the out there, Shrimp however, has been a god!
The 3K to pull off the Red Bull clutch and get AG! The map wins!
They just keep going. AG has found their confidence. They've found their groove here in Santiago.
What a banger of a start, paper-rex. Raleigh back but not enough.
AG plant their feet, make take map one.
Now, we get ready to go to Pearl to see if AG can make this a 2-0, or if this will go the distance.
The important thing is, we talked about SD, try and think a little bit, okay?
Like, what are you supposed to do?
Yeah.
And like...
HM0, positive mental...
Wait, no, sorry.
Let's piss, piss me off, you know?
Yeah, let's piss me off, let's piss me off.
Game or?
Don't piss me off, don't piss me off.
I'll piss you off, huh?
Actually, I don't mind.
To be fair, actually, when you guys piss me off, you usually...
It's like in between, you know, like, you're playing well, but like...
So, you're raging because you like it, is it?
No, I'm raging because the first thing you guys choose to do
is nuts, but you're pulling it out.
I
Knock this one out of the park!
Now they shall be engraved alongside the graves!
As a competitive shooter, sound design and valorant is centered around ensuring competitive
of integrity above all else.
As sound designers, we need critical information
to stay clear, even in chaotic moments.
So a lot of the challenge in sound design
is not just about making a sound,
it's about making the right sound.
That's why for agent abilities,
we use sounds to punctuate what you're experiencing
so that feedback starts the moment you equip an ability.
When you equip Kloge's Metal,
it starts with a lower-pitched thudding sound
that almost sounds like a poof.
That's the instant feedback you get for pushing the button.
Then we let you know the moment it becomes castable
by using a rubbery impact sound with energy, bells,
and chimes when the orb settles and cloaks hand.
I
Gen here with ED101 of all gamers and Echo for some translation. They'll coach Strongstar for all gamers.
Just quickly, how are you guys able to control and dictate the pace of the game against PaperX?
We knew how to defend them and how to contact them.
We tried to prevent them from touching us.
Then we went to control the map.
Then we went to find the strong position of their base.
This is the main tool.
After the bomb, they put pressure on us.
Then we had to communicate well.
The main thing was to call a group to communicate well.
like predict what paper is doing and also I think it's really important for us to like do a better
Contact or ask a execution or bait each other. So yeah, that's why we win that one
Okay, so strong fundamentals figuring out where vice was and familiarity against opponents always a pleasure to hear from you
Thank you so much in the back
All game is certainly worth giving away free kills in the early rounds against paper X
So, unfortunately, I can't say the same for the Pacific Number 3 seed.
Very aggressive play here for Paper Rex, even with a vise composition,
we're watching this team play ahead of all that utility that they should be using to slow the game down.
Like, seriously, that first half from the Vi was something else.
Like, yes, he's completely right.
You saw them, like, bait in the Vi's wall, just trying to use it.
He swaps onto the other side of the map.
How many times did he play again ahead of his utility?
So many of this because like the fight was not aligned. Is that gonna have a little bit better look there's a razor vine doing nothing because he's dead
Yes, yeah first steps for him on the defensive side
I think this is a total miscue from paper X in their approach to playing this composition
They kept going through his aggressive rounds on defense and all give all the credit to all gamers
I think they did an excellent job of punishing that aggression their individuals were in incredible form this match
Kira was hit in every paranoia and the team was falling up off of it.
Well, it was lovely punished from them, but you can't ignore that there was huge mistakes from PaperX in their micro
and in their approach that even opened the door to all gamers winning this map.
Let's have a look. I mean, Kavi, when Krikukas would just have Spanish in the LZS spring,
you know that she's not happy with something after show. Let's have a look at our HyperX Reflex moment of the match.
This is in the here in round number seven. Yeah, exactly. We just picked up one of the rounds.
Yes, the paper X ended up turning things around but they needed to do this kind of paper X things
You know like this eco getting a little bit aggressive and just playing off of this individual place
We also saw Jin having incredible moments on the on this second half
But again as a whole the amount of mistakes that they were making on top of each other
Seriously, I have here Jin wants to win. Dubai doesn't seem to care for second lurks
It's good. They get they get to hit a and play great post plans, but after they swap the wall
I was trying I was trying because they were bringing it back and I was like, honestly all gamers deserve to win this
After the really great first half that they should when I heard the narrative that Alex was saying they were losing to this team in
scrims that they didn't beat all gamers in scrims. I was like, okay, man, they're going to go up on stage.
I'm going to stop all gamers. It's going to be okay. The main thing was a one off and then oh my god, they got out
And then oh my god they got outshot in like every round by all gamers and they looked
Disasterous against this scene it is crazy what we're watching right now
But this is a position where all gamers can eliminate paper X now. It's it's crazy
Yeah, would be a ridiculous feather in their cap so to speak
Let's hear though what Alex has to say ahead of matter
We've made sure we keep them in its train jacket so doesn't swing. He'll be calmer. It's fine
Here with Alex of PaperX, Alex corrode when AEG's way, but different tempo or pace of
the game from you guys.
Do you think it was because of the composition that you guys were running that required you
to wait for a bit, body check for info, or was it more because of the familiarity
against AEG that kind of had you second guessing?
Yeah, I think familiarity is part of it, but I think we were way too careful.
I think they're just really, really afraid of being opt, and I think that we'll do better next game.
Thank you, and good luck.
Does feel like that attack side for PaperX was really stalled out by the util of all gamers,
and they're running into sights with the Winfo with like 20 seconds left in the round.
Yeah, I think that, I mean, the Viperwall gave them some advantages, but I really like to see,
to hear from Alex that they didn't want to find on the operator, because one of the other
Highlights bar here that he played amazing same for shrimp like those entries were made so easy thanks to them
But also thank you play
Incredibly well all of that baits in the utility and gather the information
He's not as easy if you don't have someone else
Lock in the other side of the map and that was his doing completely
Yeah, we go to Pearl now as the next map in this series
This is one of the maps that all gamers did not look great
They got stomped by Nate's here
But I don't want to write it off for them because they looked quite good
regionally and I still feel like more of that loss against mates wasn't just that
they had a complete incorrect approach to the map but more so that they were
choking, playing poorly individually, still swing on their own. That was still the
all-gamers that showed up and was shaking at the international tournament. I
don't think that'll be indicative of how they're gonna play this time against
PRX. This is however another PRX map where they play the vice. Now will
Divide be able to resist the temptation to hold W and go forward? Can he
Play more to that stole you till focus the thing is like on the attack
It was great like he knew all that he was hitting all the line up
So the thorns do not get me wrong all game is like adapted to it and started breaking it
It's the difference that big, but you know what on the attack. It's a different. It's a different time. We also have it
It's also another new calm. Yeah, Brex. They're changing again. They're keeping that boys
But they're going back to a double duelist better. Yeah back to a double duelist this time without the chamber
just swapping things around. Yeah, absolutely. But given another type of pace to this composition
now with Jing also on it on the knee on his first on the first map, he made things very
close. We need to put this in context now. All gamers, this is mostly the tournament
where China did nothing. There was discussion after Map 1 of Mates that they could have
the worst tournament run ever. They've turned that around. They've beaten Mates. They're
up a map against PaperX and they have a chance now to eliminate the squad that
It has been the mainstay in Top 40.
That's right, the Juggernauts, Paper Rex, a teetering on the edge of the Abyss.
And all games are poised to give a one last shove.
Let's jump back into the game over to you Achilles and Paper Zid.
Thank you very much. Yes, another swap of the cop here on Pearl.
Paper Rex's map pick going onto the Neon.
Something that Jing has played in the past, but hasn't played for quite some time.
Yeah, I mean, he doesn't play it very often.
You get to see it very very infrequently from him. So, you know typically he's gonna be playing Razor Phoenix
You see a little bit of jet in Pacific as well, but I
Curious about this it is gonna be another kind of gamble here
And we're noting that it's also again a swap just the one part for AG
It's GRQ sticking with the neon previously when they played this map solid from them versus mates
They got clapped he was playing that way late and he wasn't able to really provide that much support
I love that he is swapping over onto this neon. He looks way more steady way more impactful with this pick
This is for all the marbles now paper Rex
Being confidence on their pearl a map that they have not been leaning into much so far this year
They need this to be the staging ground the start of a reverse sweep here. It's the fight
Oh my god.
That's what the advice is, recalling that flash and getting caught up as Shrimp is able to
collect that kill.
Move it back through.
Full five player approach from this there side.
They're not going to catch anything, but for now they will find the rest of this site
unoccupied.
Backside plant, PaperX is going to take the fight forward.
Fight forward they shall.
Thank you, you're going to get caught.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
They're going to be coming at you from a couple different angles, but with their flank out through secret
The paper X know the line and that's a great shot from maybe really is GRQ dad and be biscuit rated by a you want
But Trump has gone as well
So now all that main pressure has been alleviated and it's just the double approach from the secret
We jump forward for sake and you'll find the one Jim gets the other paper X will close out the opening pistol
It still feels a little shaky for paper X though, doesn't it?
I mean with Divy getting caught trying to recall utility, you know, that was a quick dissipate on that asterisk smoke
I gotta be aware that they're maybe gonna try to keep clearing that space
But all's well that ends well
They take really nice positioning get that one kill before the execute could or excuse me the retake can even really
forment
And they're able to come through and get the win so paper X still some life still some firepower
and they're looking to maybe spread the map a little bit and go for some information gathering.
Hello. Hello.
It's like you're going to be getting a little bit of damage in me.
Oh, nearly dead, but janked to the rescue.
He'll be able to just pick up two quick kills and now finds himself the third.
Looks like he's been in the hyperbolic time chamber a bit here with this neon.
He's shooting across that first map.
It's probably the most consistent thing for PaperX and he's looking to maintain that here on the neon.
He's just dancing a little bit.
He's generous, playing anti-flash against the killjoy.
It's something already on site.
The Vi, trying to find himself this kill and will be able to do so.
On the board, nice and early. Compared to what we were seeing, that's going to be a flawless anti-eco, Paper Rex.
A solid start.
I will say that when Papal Rex is being a little silly and you hear them singing in their comms and things like that,
that's when they're actually at their best.
So maybe Jing actually just trying to get people laughing, get them rallied, get the mental back in check after that tough first map.
5-0 start though. Fantastic.
He's fast-tracking his all along with Indy.
Now you're looking at full rifle by.
Oh, and a crunch playing here.
Good aim, aim.
Thing sliding back across the killer on the GRQ.
I don't see any decent amount of damage
strafing across those thorns.
This is nice.
This change of a composition.
Can already see some of the ideas
on how you can disrespect some of the utility
to take that long A control that was giving them
trouble against NRG.
Even with the Phoenix there, they couldn't really
fully establish.
Apparently, there was a Tejo in the mix.
Probably once again, it has to do a hell of a lot.
We'll be able to find the kill before getting taken down.
Mother Prowler out into the AMA ensuring that that has been evacuated.
So now AG with a solid read, understanding that Rex is going to be leaning in towards this B-side.
Going for the pivot again. Starting to drift our way back.
Will just be leaving for Sankin alone. Tucked away in that silver spot.
See if you can find that impact.
This is what you need to see from Paper Rex. Work the map a little bit.
AG is getting a read on it now.
Yep, Kira. He's managed to flush him out. Nothing else going to be spotted, so now the forces can rotate over towards A.
3v4. It's going to be swapped around. Getting rid of that Marshall.
So it's something going to be watching all the way around the back.
Let's see if that Scale 4 does come through from the enemy Astra.
Through a fake TP on the other side of this to try to gain some utility, it feels like.
Drone over the top. Nothing to dug out.
The spot may be on to both there. That's secret, but now the jump coming in and something able to find the turn.
Kira going to be taken down.
Something gets it back into a 3v3 meanwhile Qing trying to go on this flanking push
Something out from stairs unable to find that elimination envy at the same time going to be taken out
It's a tab of the fuse
Qing now striking find the one but now finds himself all alone
Swing in and thank you. We'll be able to shut him down. No bonus conversion, but decent damage found from Paper X
But honestly, I I like this round from Paper X even though it doesn't go their way
A.G. does a really good job of reading things themselves, but they're actually toying with
the map.
They're toying with expectations.
They're putting players in unexpected positions, but A.G. just does a really good job of reading
all of that pretty well throughout the entirety of it.
A few mishaps here and there, but it was close to being a bonus conversion.
Again, they're coming from different angles, and yeah, that's frustrating.
I mean, frankly, it's probably just a spray issue there.
If something can get that first kill over towards dugout,
it's probably a very different round.
That for, say, getting caught in that astral form.
True.
While Flash is going out, really bolts as well.
Stunned behind the box.
This GRQ has the judge.
Boop Rakesh is going to go down the way.
There are two judges here.
Here as well.
They're playing with that.
Yeah.
Something has that outlaw, though.
And that's going to be most players other than AU1
and shrimp dead to it in one shot.
See if him and GRQ end up butting heads.
But GRQ-
No reason for him to try to push.
Exactly.
I don't think something's gonna get rewarded here.
You wouldn't think so.
They're starting to send some reinforcements up there.
Shrimp joining him.
Now we're out of the check.
Let's manage to get the connection.
Here's the outlaw.
We'll just leave GRQ left and in behind the box
at the same time.
We'll play our skill in towards Arc now.
Think here, maybe about to take that first contact.
Speaking in at the stairs.
Be split on the opposite side.
Find anything over at main.
Looking for the target,
Shrimp gonna be taken low, thank you, plate forward.
Pulls that up one, gets the kill on with the Vi.
It's way into the smoke and once again
the pivot's gonna be called here.
Paper Rex now sprinting over for the time
and starting the dwindle, 23 seconds remaining.
Jhin trying to lead the charge with 3 health on this Neon.
It's about anything.
We'll eliminate him.
So now A1 pressure it out, but locks over the headshot for Sakin' Dead.
Something able to find just the one kill at Indy.
She sat here, a vandal in hand, and doesn't quite confirm the kill on Nekira.
Shocked her to be lobbed in, and Fangir fearlessly swoops in, gets the 3k,
and gets HG tied up 2-2.
They are really on it today. They are really sharp again.
Paper Rex tries to go for the quick pivot, but again, AG matches the time on the clock.
You know that they don't have any choice. If they commit to that pivot, you can get there too.
Sharp shooting from Fang Gear. They are really locked in.
Yeah, it's tough, but AG is just really feeling it.
See him saying how many times, clearly, a repeat error, or repeat misread, whatever it may be.
Alex not happy that he's still dealing with it, that he's still witnessing it here on his screen.
And also trying to delay, fast lane gonna be set up at date, Qing now sees that the stairs.
Oh, beautiful.
And this slow is down the approach with that overdrive.
It's now gone.
I'm gonna find a reset.
Spike brought across to buy, going for the plant.
Sending off on it, so I'm not gonna be caught by the wallbang shots.
But I'm finding the blind by setting a flash, will be cleared out.
Now the lockdown going to be invested.
A.G. they do not want to allow paper wrecks back into this inmate shall not.
Flawless as the defuse comes in, A.G. will gain the lead.
I mean they have just great protocols built in to slow down this neon, but I think also
you probably ripped the overdrive a little bit early here.
As Jing anticipating that maybe somebody would be in art, but they're just playing
back and they threw everything at that.
There was a seize, there was a relay bolt, the nanos as well at the end of the stairs.
I mean they were so ready for that and paper X just walked right into a trap
Starting to get
Shaky this is a big buy for paper X on this attack side. They are gonna be
Very low on the economy if they can't get this one to go hunters fury there. Thank you
Here has his all
Couple things to consider something one away as well as Kira
We clear the dart jing
Bounding 4, GRQ able to turn back, finds the shop down there.
There'll be a trade.
From get the tag, sees the exit, but I don't know.
Thank you.
Shops all the way back across the opposite side of the map, but with Trim going down,
the site for now is wide open.
The bricks though still need to cross there.
Tees and dot their eyes with this one.
Take their time, make sure they don't get caught off guard,
but that is a big kill to be found, as Fenger will fall.
I might not even have to invest in these ults, although...
U1 gets back into a winnable position, and yes they will commit.
Forsaken is going to be noted on that flank.
U1 just that shorty in hand.
Trying to watch from every which angle.
Dealing out.
Popping Forsaken.
Able to spot him out.
Down to 45.
Joined in though by Kira.
Was able to find the kill.
Swings out to his dome.
Turn on the setup.
The reswing out to buy.
3k form to tie it up three to three big round from a player that was otherwise absent on Corode
It's just nice that you have enough space between you and Jing that you can trade that kill on the GRQ
Oh a spot of the feet there for Indy
You can just spray fang gear down fang gear thought he might be able to get ahead of that and tuck in but
Inbeat was a step ahead
By needs to come alive for paper Rex that corrode was woeful for him
He's having a much better go of it here five and four and you're able to keep a couple of those big ults through all that for paper
Rex still have the dimensional drift still have the hunter theory the op
In here looking back around the corner. There's the peak from King
He will get picked apart
3 skills, back over, something now, eventual drift, sprinting down, they're under the turret
but they're still so much utility here.
Thanks, he's exit, should have cleared some of those footsteps, he's now spiked being
caught forward, alarm bot just gonna be cleared out and that's all the util on the site
now dealt with.
No deep flank to come in, NP.
Pull back, get onto a deep angle.
Try to utilize this hunter's spirit, but for now it's gonna be the Cosmodivide coming in.
No, and just opens up with this one aggressively.
Looking for a target, but coming up empty-handed.
Just a one-tag here onto Shrimp, but GRQ would be shut down.
Something able to find the kill, stops him with the overdrive.
It's a peek back in.
Bang gear, tuck it into that corner!
Comes away with another elimination now, but it's down to something.
Tap of the fuse because we're by falling something
Transfer
Gets the 4k and he is on his feet
Massive Red Bull clutch to give paper racks back into the lead
Okay
This I love the way figure played that round, but oh, yeah something out did him in the end and that's
That's a little little unfortunate. He only had six HP
So it's just one bullet there was all something needed gets the headshot gets the transfer just in the nick of time
The thing is any more how yep that round is his his efforts were awarded
It's something one smiling at the end of that round
See if that can continue though. Oh my god
Just madness as always
ways.
It's easy exit, lob it on that recon, we'll be cleared out, this doesn't allow for AG
to maintain show cold on a main.
They've got all of the map under their control, so you're going to have to just try to pick
and prod here and stay for rex, that's what they're doing, they're trying to work their
way through mid, they're kind of pulling in, you know, AG expecting them to go through
B the B link area but actually they're just gonna go all the way in towards
Fengir. He's able to find a quick kill divide dad immediately out to safety.
He wiped his hand off after that. I don't blame him that was a slick shot. 81
tucked him to the corner of the drone over the top. Don't believe it's gotten
the spot. Aslan is there but 81 can absolutely catch them off guard.
Pop flashed in something now a little bit too wise to it for thinking however going to be intercepted and still it's a player advantage
For all gamers now the arrival from the back to your cue on that flank
Striking finding jing spike in play, but something dead. It was just in me
Try to hold his own in the one-way point. He's just gonna be overwhelmed
Just like that from a big hero play around for paper X to regain the lead
Very quickly get snuffed out. There's a G tied up once again, and it's just because a G
is able to establish so much map control early.
Getting long A, getting finger posted up deep at that position
where you could just get the one and done in TP out,
that they're able to just come from every angle at you,
win some 1v1s, and then there's just nothing
you can do there as in B.
I mean, brilliant stuff today from AG.
Maple Rex needs to find answers.
Needs to get a little bit more consistency.
Let's see what they want to do.
Looked like maybe early on I felt like there was some OK ideas for Paper Rex.
And this week or by, to dig a little bit deeper, something does grab the outlaw.
Two players, one shot to it in fact.
Both of the duelists actually, which would include GRQs in the vicinity but seems to
be playing this safe.
So at least for Paper Rex now, you're going to re-establish some map control here.
It's a matter of what are you gonna be able to do look at all that you till you're gonna have to deal with
Let's continuously stack this site. Yeah, they brex continue to try to play into it
The minefield on the way in
Something doesn't have a TP so it's gonna have to be
Since that the first shot doesn't manage to connect it the RQ still alive with three players on that side of the map
You crash nothing and gear back towards this B site is in the big opening kill
Hey, you want getting fragile turning over towards that back halls exit. It's caught divine. We'll find the quick shot
The weapons now scooped up at Paper Rex.
Look at the get this one over the lines.
There's the spot out.
There's the judge from Ching.
Going to get around the corner.
Two shells left.
And what is good enough?
It's going to be a master card thrifty.
And Paper Rex continuing to fight.
But do they continue this pendulum swing?
Well, it's a good adjustment for Paper Rex this round.
Get a little bit of a main control.
That forces AG to have to clear this space.
And when that happens, that's when they turn on the jets
and go for the B site, and they're
able to hit some nasty sheriff shots along the way.
So better macro ideas this round.
Yeah, that one's got to be a little bit frustrating,
because it was starting to feel like maybe you
could start turning the tide here.
Maybe you could start generating a little bit of snowball,
but now you're on the eco-back foot.
All right.
Oh, and something just does something like that.
much more than you could really do.
Killed into the exit and once again looking and leaning towards this B site.
Going with the spot and the ping on the fend gear.
Just going to look to rescale and maybe catch them off guard.
He does have that eight crash but the shot ends up going wide.
Now makes his exit but already A G.
Getting themselves into position to try to counteract this.
It's GRQ.
He's laying around the hall, sliding forward.
That stinger in hand, shrimp trying to just line up something with that sheriff doesn't manage to make a gulvet
Seems like for a cheat a master card thrifty just not even the cards not for this round
Bring one away from his alt in front of I
Just gonna look to play in and see who can pick it up
There's gonna be chain flawless round for paper racks the win back to back and maintain the lead
Yeah, they're really starting to feel it now. The sharps are looking sharp and they're accelerating when they need to, finding their kills.
Starting to look like the Paper Rex that you would expect coming into a global event. Woo, Jing!
That is what you need, Jing. To get going.
He wants to teach him how to shoot the sheriff.
Timeout call here from AG.
See if he can rescue these last two rounds, make it a 6-6 score.
At the half, paper X will be able to run away with the remainder of this.
Take a look at the Coinbase win condition.
See, economically there's certainly some ups and downs at the moment for all gamers,
But there will be that operator back with an extra fangir
Kind of curious if maybe that's something that paper X is thinking about to is a counter up here or something
he's just gonna go for the Vandal but
They had the economy that they could have invested into it if they felt like it
Yeah, absolutely gonna be talking about how you want to post up probably how you want to reestablish some map control
Are they gonna go back to kind of that?
That sort of default they have where Fang gear pushes up Long B and you let Shrimp and GRQ try to control Long A.
What I'm seeing on the map is just a spread formation here for the most part.
Maybe looking to play a little bit cautious, want to try to take in mid expecting that that's going to be the direction the paper acts want to go and they're right.
It's going to come down to some good U-Till and shooting potentially.
He can't admit Forsaken around that corner of shop.
Swings out would be his demise.
He's going to do the peek however.
Towards window and Forsaken bit too late to put up on that punish.
Gate crash out to safety and Jing now dead on the floor.
Scaling forward Forsaken on the other side of the smoke,
pushes into it to his demise.
It's H.E. setting up the traps very nicely, everybody with a two-player advantage.
Make sure they have a solid economy going into the last round of the half.
Feels like it was just a hard read.
Just a double face back in here, not going to be good for a third.
Something now would have to be an ace clutch.
Seems like they have a strong suspicion about where he just jumped back with that gate crash
too.
Shrimp around the corner, swing out and he has him dead to rights.
Rough with the sheriff and very clean with the mandal.
AG, on away from tying this up in the half.
Still have the dimensional drift, still have that operator, but Paper Rex, coming into
this one with four holes.
Yeah, this one
Kind of feels like it has to go for paper X the way the maps we're going
But this is just a good read it just coming out of the time out. It just the way that aging lines up
It's like they know what what paper X is doing before paper X does. This is just good preparation
They're right where they want to be to shut down this kind of slow mid push that paper X is trying to establish
Now he's gonna double down
A similar setup, Dimensional Drip going forward to Kira again.
Striving forward, finds the Vi, the Overdropping Chain's gonna be able to come away with a kill.
Swarms his way into A, it's an otherwise empty sight, something on that peak, a critical kill to be found.
Doesn't nearly get traded out, but Managee's keeping himself in the fight.
This might now be brought forward, still here in the hands, but for sake of the...
I think I have enough time with this one.
Looks to set up some of these nephelons as opposed.
Meanwhile, Bengear's gonna go chasing in.
Cosmet divide is gonna be called out.
Paper Rex, they're gonna go for another pinnit.
Just a window, and they're respecting this.
So heavily, meanwhile, Kira.
See if we'll find something.
And now they have to push back into A, and A, G,
or in the perfect position to try to defend this.
Swing into the window though, and he will be able to help do the enemy Astra.
Great read.
Now that Cosmet divide kinda works against you a bit.
And given all that quiet. Yep. They think that this is a pivot coming through so they have to split
Now they don't know if you're has to go crazy with this operator
There's the shorty to jump into the smoke and jing struck down
Looking for the plant and what is that? Oh
He's just destroyed to be demolished them
Forsaken has us now brought into a 1v1. 11 seconds remaining has to commit for the plant.
Shrimp around the corner. A seize. A hot steal available for him.
Forsaken just no damn idea where he could be. Slides across towards stairs.
The angle about to be gained.
Some self-talked and Shrimp hits it again
Gives him a wave goodbye
Is that a views will come through an AG lock this up six to six a
Hell of a back and forth, but man AG
Still looking great still looking strong
And they have handled what paper X is dealing here on pearl
They are not backing down there looking brilliant paper wrecks up against the ropes,
corraled into the corner.
Let's see if they can get the pistol when they come back after a half-time break.
Let's measure who is the most loud, ready?
Where are the Alfas?
Ok, not bad. Not bad.
And where are the Omega?
Okay.
Ya casi llegamos.
Ya casi llegamos.
Que no escucharos otra vez.
¿Dónde están los alfos?
Okay.
Okay.
Casi llegamos.
¿Y dónde están los ovegans?
I'll tell you what, you would not be getting this energy, this electricity from an audience
if you were paying them.
The crowd here in Santiago, truly a cut above the rest, the most passionate that we've
seen around the world.
Oh, they're just amazing.
I mean, every day there's so much energy here, it's just great and those last
three days are going to be absolutely wild.
Oh, yeah.
Both of these teams wanting to make that appearance
in front of this crowd again, not wanting to be sent home.
So only one more spot in the top four available.
And right now, all gamers have their eyes on the prize.
They have the upper hand.
Three, two, split.
Deep bit of gathering over at Long A for info. They don't see anything so paper X immediately TPs over
It's a strong side here. There's the high low and it's broken
Send gear able to find one but mine and be fighting back both do us down down for all gamers
They're gonna be rethinking this push on a B just a bit, but that's a noise
To rescale forward
The trips across gets himself behind screen
And you want to look to try to lead the charge here, clear the hot there from having a shot
on the divide, takes him down to 17, and you won, nearly able to tuck into the corner.
No shocks available, obviously, given the sheriffs in hand, so we'll be not able to
set up for the easy kill at the same time.
This deep lurk from Kira seems like a night just to be noted, if you're sick it's
going to go rotating back but
has to know what space he's given up.
Has to know that they could have
lurked to this position.
Check around waterfall. Nothing
seen yet.
They corrects.
They're going their way into the
correct side of the map.
Now popped
the spike planted.
Shrink getting onto this angle, and he credits to this, no, they have not to be able to strike
here and now, turning in, has been spotted, dealt with something, finds the kill and it's
just AU1, able to find the first.
Several players so very low, can keep the one tap to something, is holding on, the
Puse goes through, and Paper Rex is behind another pistol.
They regain the lead by one.
This is another round where you're
seeing some good awareness from Paper Rex in terms
of where Kira could have gone.
Kira's been lurking all over the map the whole day,
and they're thinking about it from the get-go.
Forsaken is really trying to get
a read on his counterpart here,
and something is watching flowers the whole way.
And that keeps PaperX very much alive in this map, in this series, in this tournament.
See if they can hang on.
You do have AU1 with the bandit, Peng gear with the ghost.
Shorty for GRQ, so...
Could be some problems.
Slide out for second death.
There's a judge now, handed over Peng gear.
He's scooping that up and Debye for the moment.
Still alone, something sprinting as fast as he can, trying to get in position to peel off some of this pressure.
Flash comes in, Debye, gotta be good for that kill.
Something finds a follow-up, the third gear, still little to strike, but cannot escape.
This could take it down. For now, this is comfortable territory for Paper X, but who's anybody else?
That damage is really going to be felt.
Spike on the floor, walked by Inbee.
Swing out.
Steadies expect to spray eventually. Clean up the killjoy.
Swoop out and change. Good for it.
Three players surviving.
Holding on to some of that key weaponry here.
Paper Rex, once again, themselves that anti-eco win.
Small step forward, but in the right direction, other than this, this is just kind of, you know, shotgun versus shotgun,
and you're going to favor the neon every time in that situation away.
Nice little flick down from something.
He's really good with the Bulldog man, he's always seeming to find tons of value with it.
He's going to keep it into this next round.
Couple players, gonna be one tap to that outlaw here in Trent.
So, you get that full armor into your duelist at the very least.
81, just dealing with something right off the rip.
Could have got a clean shot through.
We put some to 49.
coming back. No, you don't have to have any other side.
I'll collect it though for a second.
See if they swing out.
What's B main? Yeah, they're looking for follow-up layers of aggression.
They've got to pay for wrecks.
Widely notorious for being impatient.
And that's something that, you know, I'm sure AG was watching yesterday with NRG.
This is how a lot of the rounds start, where they're just holding angles,
looking for you to see what you do with the extremities,
seeing what you do in mid, looking for a counterplay,
you know, off of their own protocols.
That's how they get these first kills.
That's how they kind of put Paper X on the back foot.
See if they can hold the line.
Slotted things in correctly here.
Players towards B to try to hold off this pressure
being applied.
Swoop of the corner, relay ball,
going to be dodged in pursuit,
able to find 1, 81.
Eliminated.
This is Jing.
Let's make the fight a strip before falling.
The thing is, hands.
He's a three-peak here and out, eliminated.
Two players left alive now, just the one.
Ten gear, trying to make a goal of it.
But he cannot, Paper Rex, find the bonus conversion.
He's there now, up by three.
I mean, I think this is just patience versus patience.
And finally, Paper Rex is going to be the team that's
able to outweigh their opponents just enough.
And they're able to fast rotate over to that B side
and guess correctly on the direction
that AG is going to want to end up in and make those chokes just an absolute nightmare.
Do some early damage.
That allows that outlaw to get those one taps onto those players that are coming through.
Huge, huge for Paper Racks that they get that bonus.
Get back economically now, R.A.G.
Little militia purge is here.
Stingers, two sheriffs, and otherwise bandits at hand.
Warp grab.
Comes with a 10-deer. Gives him that dimensional drift.
Don't expect to see it in this round.
Getting it secured for the future, obviously.
Quite important form.
Grip the cross. It'll be traded on some damage,
but there's been a jing taken down.
Just find the UR, him to find out. Scaling forward.
Comes away with the kill on the GRQ.
Looks for a little bit more. A-U-1 dead.
Stabbed by Spassacre 3.
Jing, the only casualty. Paper X.
Up to double digits. Looking to make a goal of this.
Three more to go to take this over to split and I think you're gonna get a time out here from AG because
They're being pretty one-dimensional all of a sudden and paper Rex is getting into the position. They need to so
Now you've got to kind of find those timings where okay
You wait maybe you want to wait a little bit at the beginning of the round
But then you have to start exploring the extremities start forcing paper Rex's hands a little bit
This poor guy his cortisol levels just have to be through the roof
I know we had the, you know, the vet come to the studio to take care of, you know,
our lovely dog friend who luckily was reunited with his owner.
Oh, yeah.
Can we, can we kind of practically come check on Alex?
I think we could.
He might need it.
Yeah, I absolutely think he does.
Let's take a look here at the Coinbase win condition.
See what AG is going to be working with.
I want to make sure we're noting where the AEDs are in this building.
Yes.
Yeah, important stuff.
Yeah, I mean, I think again, like what I was talking about just being patient, but a little proactive like it's, you know, measured aggression where you're trying to get some info trying to clear some space.
You know, that round, it just obviously they was an eco, so they just went for something paper X is there, whatever.
But I think overall AG, some of the things that you saw and corrode that were really good was them toying with utility, fading some utility out using that conditioning against paper X.
You're going to need a lot more of that here.
Paper X is starting to find their groove,
and that is not something you want to let happen.
Paper X are notorious for coming out on a map, looking terrible,
and then just figuring it out and running you over the next two.
Or looking great, and then looking terrible in between,
and then winning it.
Also that.
Challenge them versus Liquid back at Toronto.
Still lives run free in my head,
but the dimensional drift, ready here, fourth end here.
They're going to go forward, clear up that vice wall to let utility and instill some
doubt into Paper X.
Yeah, they've got an alarm bot here, like Kira, oh, Kira does get the spot anyway with his
body so King tries to push out, can't find a kill, drone to re-clear, always catch, spot
on the fang gear there, it's Paper X.
Actually thinking that this is going to end up B off that info because Forsaken
You can just keep holding here.
Yeah, sure there's a prowler, but there's no follow up.
Yeah, there's an Astra, but he's not here
under seeing anything else.
Although they're rotating on that.
Oh my god, it might have worked here.
Backpedal here from the vise.
Just trying to reposition so it doesn't get scouted by this.
But near the exit, the teleport's going to be taken.
Something's sending out a couple of shots.
Meanwhile, potential timing here to Mantis Ching.
Swings around the back, and we'll find
she actually has a silk garden going to be invested.
interrupts the plant on the spike.
A.G. held a bit.
This Invy jumps up over the top of the box,
looking for that punishment shrimp.
Oh no, he just straight straight back into the vision!
Invy now fights down!
And it feels like A.G.
completely losing track of everything here.
Forced away in Kira now to try to hold onto his gun.
Nextail turns around, it will keep us in hand.
Orang Jing trying to run him down, but Paper Rex not allowing for the time out call to deliver
results.
They get up to 11.
This almost works for AG in a way, but the funny thing is, is because of the dimensional
drift, Paper Rex is actually happy to just play flood retake.
They have the Steel Garden.
They're able to disrupt that plant.
I mean, I don't know what's going on.
Shrimp there just kind of loses his awareness of his face.
To give you one strong, you know,
he's trying to swing, he's trying to get the trade to splice him,
but he just happens to lose the fight.
Man, I don't know where you're getting shot from.
Should have been on the spot on meanwhile.
Fight over A main at Fingir.
Does managed to come out on top, Jing.
Eliminated solid early kill for A G.
I mean, five in a row to tie this back up.
That one certainly should make things really challenging here for Paper Racks to try to get a read on what this round is going to look like.
The only thing now that you have, you're going in your favor is that it's a weaker buy.
That might not mean too much if they're able to get into the site.
Right.
Now it's going to be Envy to try to hold the line.
Two-four forward to use a Hunter's Fury.
So once that pressure starts coming in,
he is going to have his work cut out once. There's the spot!
Wow!
It's a headshot of a finger down to ten, the finger is still...
gets the elimination. Something tucked in, stunned up, does van for fight back, but he himself so damn low and now finished off.
Four players still surviving, weapons gonna be recovered.
A.G., this would be a massive thrifty.
Blind forsaken, trying to deny.
You'll end the one.
Draftwell gonna be avoided, forsaken right into the wall.
Cannot stay alive, it can cuss. Coming down and shrimp.
Bouncing back after the previous round. Cleans up three at HE.
They close the gap, they hang in there, they deny that map point away from Paper X.
It just shows you how important control over this part of the map is,
because you can get a weaker bite of go, and it helps when Fanggear's doing that.
Absolutely going nuts on two tight angle shots that he has to shoot through some walls and gets the wind.
But, you get those wins and it just opens up so much space for you, puts paper exit positions where then they start throwing themselves one by one into the meat grinder, they kind of lose their mental.
They want this control again. Just honk into that forward cubby that they may reveal anybody on the site. The clear of the Browler.
The shrimp's got his nightfall, maybe they might make his go of that, but I think they're
going to try to, well, I thought for a second they might try to establish some presence through
art, but I think they're just going to go for the nightfall.
Turn to the flash, shouldn't be looking for the reset of the ember, it's going to be
Fethier coming away with two.
Goodbye.
Spike down, A.
They're trying to equalize the one.
There's a TP over to safety, Spike down, we're covered.
3v3, but what is the call here from A.G.?
So it's going to be a silent cut away trying to work over towards that beast out of the map with he weren't really able to explore much
Kira Wendley has just been sat in club.
This is so scary because you're going to have to re-clear.
The good news is there isn't a ton of info for Forsaken there either.
You won. He gets the plant. That'll give him the lockdown.
Obviously, Indy is out of the equation so you don't have to worry about that hunter's fury.
Shuri Johnson now ringing out players of paper rex slowly looking to get into
position for second able to find the first swing out of the smoke it's
time it's bogged and you want to get on top of him the kill now found the
lockdown invested the plant coming through something to back away also
We need to try to recover another weapon, likely it can do so.
During the dimensional drift, which I have to suspect he's going to be committing.
Stavai not peeking, what about timing on AU1?
It's up to the corner, the reposition.
Minor damage, gonna be separate, goes for the exit, the shorty, able to collect it.
Swing out, Kira, unable to find a Vi, puts him low but cannot sit him down!
Paper Rex!
We'll get themselves up to map point, AG, need five in a row.
Yeah, I love the decision making here from DeVy to go for the long lurk.
Recognizing what you were talking about, that that lockdown was going to be in place,
and that they weren't going to be able to flood from the B tower side.
So why not go for some failures?
Absolutely crazy today.
He's on it.
He is absolutely on it, but love that.
You get a little bit of a tag of damage,
knowing that they're going to be weak to that shorty.
Go for the something special.
They're able to finish it out.
So Paper X looking to take us to split.
And the bind is going to be a little bit messy.
The singer there for the overdrive as well.
The back pocket for GRQs.
We're having a rough go of it this time around on the Neon.
He's getting one off that dimensional drift.
The overdrive now in play with the Thorns.
He's been locked away.
He's running down the clock because he's
going to need to try to find a reset,
but he won't be able to find one.
I don't believe.
The slide out for second.
Here's how the hunk is very bashing it off the plate, but widely, doesn't find much of anything there.
Here with one, Jane ducking back, tagged low, the shorty from here at range, and he will find it and sing, okay, it's chaos and carded.
But he cleans it up, and 13-7 is a scoreline, as Paper Rex will send us the distance, he takes us the split.
Absolute madness on map three, do or die, coming up.
Welcome back everybody down to the floor here at the Espacio Riesco.
I could barely hear myself think most of the time, but it appears PRX have regained that ability
after what I have to say was a pretty muddy map up hell.
What do we want to start? I think that the fact that AG started off on that, sorry on that defense,
putting up a very big fight. I think that those operators that they were finding,
yes, were supposed to have the impact that they actually didn't find.
PaperX doing a lot of what they get against G2 just regrouping and getting up all that strength.
I think that Jinx looked very, very comfortable on that neon.
Yeah, PaperX really lives for the team fight.
I think this compositional change leans into the brawl,
and it didn't look perfect in that first half.
I think they were still leaning into some of the mistakes of that.
One of failing on the fundamentals.
But once we changed sides, we got to their own defense.
It looked way better.
This is PaperX that I think doubled down on,
just focusing on playing together,
not giving away dumb fights.
And they locked into, actually closed that map out pretty dominantly
once we got to the stretch.
I think also that we saw a lot of the chaos the paper X absolutely lost on some of those
on some of those retakes there were so many situations where seriously if it would have been any on any of the team
If they wouldn't have one I mean we go to about thank you here
331 ACS over the course of their maps. You're not enough though for all games
As I'm saying finding the opener in many of the defense rounds also in the attack like men was trying all through and through
For IMG or Q we cannot say the same. Yeah
It was really fangir or nothing for all gamers this map.
It felt like the rest of the team just couldn't get on line.
I mean, to QQ's credit, it was going and including space,
but it was never anything more than that.
And it was basically a multi-kill round from fangir,
or it was not happening.
This map to me showed the depth that you would have expected
when you looked at this match up ahead of time,
where there are peaks for all gamers.
There are individuals that can be excellent,
but PaperX is that full package
where everyone can step up and close out of.
I think we also saw a different side of the bag, you know, like he was back, he was back, like, I think that his utility had much more value on this one, and he was feeling better himself, I think that all through and through, he just likes the map more, I think that you can feel that.
Yeah, really, I mean, I kind of foreshadowed it on the desk, coming in thinking, oh, okay, we just want him to be playing ahead of this utility constantly, not making use of it to slow down these fast things, double dive, conspite, feels like divide, more comfortable here, I'm quite sure Coach got in his ear as well.
as well. There's three first deaths on Kuro, definitely a glaring issue for PRX, something
that they've been able to sort of fix up, but I think we've got to double back me and say
Fangir really stood out for this team. One of the key pieces, but it's clear,
as good as he's been, just Fangir won't cut the mustard here.
If we're looking ahead to Mastery of this series, I think you have to look to Fangir
to not only continue this performance, but that to lead to his teammates stepping up alongside
showing more than just the individualism but it has to stay at this level if you
want any chance against Queeraxe. After watching Mapwan I think there's a lot of
us that are cheering for all gamers just seeing what they can do and how they can
make a team as renowned as PaperX shake the way that they did. For Split we
expect a lot of the shenanigans it's a massive referee comfortable for the
side of PaperX but we can also say the same for all gamers. It's supposed to be their best map right?
Obviously they've got 1-18 to get though.
This is where I think they can look at that map, say okay, they changed comp on us, they're good at this pearl, that's alright.
We're going to the map where we dominated in China, where we've beaten international competition already this tournament.
This should be the confident zone for all gamers.
Playing the double duelists to clear a back on the raise, they look great in how their team fighting.
Very aggressive. This is their best chance to actually close the series out.
Now I misspoke, but they actually I think would quite good on this map rather against gentle mates right now was
I'm out there over to find some degree of success on what do you want to see translate over from that split performance?
The ace, the ace from Kira, that is exactly how we want to start this map.
Seriously, I think that we can all agree that this is for paper reds to lose now
They have the momentum back that pearl was looking too good for them
And as we're saying they have so many reds on this map on split and obviously all bangers and on split
Yeah, what I'm looking for is the fast fluttery takes it. We're so successful the last time they play splits
I like the way that they put an emphasis on holding onto heaven control in both these sites and using that raises their quick
Rotator to double satchel out flood into these sites and really
To get quickly into the team fights. They are playing this double base double dive style rather on split, right?
Is there anyway like here rex can they slow this down? They don't play the vice on this map
We've seen some teams dabble with it and I see I want to say
For paper X to me is about going in the fights and if you are confident in just having that full comeback and reverse sweeping this best of three
Again, you are paper X you have individuals to do is ging is super on point today
When we see him on the race on this map
It can be a completely different thing and for the side of all gamers
I actually want to see them play reactive again
I want here to maybe have one of those rounds that is going to swap things around
But to me, seriously, I wanted to be a bit more passive because PaperX can be incredibly overwhelming.
Yeah, I agree. I think you want to, especially on their attack side, let PaperX make the move a little bit.
But I still want to see decisiveness in the mid-run. I think that some of the rounds started to go wrong on their attack side
on pro-wrestling when they were kind of waiting for too long with that patient.
And then they had very low information when they were actually choosing to execute.
I think it's about taking early space, pausing for the reaction, and then making a decision often.
often. You can't completely sit back and let paperwrecks play how they want.
I'd like to make some mistakes. I think that paperwrecks have to consider the stakes of this map
because this could be the last one here in Santiago for them.
I mean, looking back on paperwrecks here, obviously many of the fans don't want the
journey to end here. What do you think is the bare minimum to be satisfied with these paperwrecks
out here in Santiago? Winning. That's ending? I think no, making it to top four at least.
Spinning the expansion and going forward that's what the fans expect if paper X lose here to this upstart all gamers team
It will be a massive disappointment. They have high expectations. They have to live up
Here you have it folks the stage is set for one final decide a map between all gamers and paper X
And who better they take this back in then Achilleos sent a big
Thank you very much over here we go a map three only bangers on split
And we have a cheat up as a final map.
Paper Rex persevering through that pearl.
The A.G. looked absolutely astounding.
Versus mates on this map.
It was a 13-4 affair.
Kira was so damn clean on that raise.
Can he replicate that performance?
Guide A.G. closer to a top four finish
their first ever global event.
Or will Paper Rex snuff out the flame?
I mean, it's going to be a tough ask.
This is a great map for both of these teams.
But like the desk was talking about,
the way that AG sets up for their flood retakes,
sets for their stalls onto your executes is so, so good.
So you have to disrupt that.
I think you're looking at what G2
was able to do to disrupt these things.
There's a huge stack in mid.
Spike in the hands, up for Saked on the Omen, they're going for a push out.
The swing, the spot on something, able to hold his own, just loses life, those GRQ!
Comes away with two and Jing dead as well, over on that ramen side.
The immediately rerouted by the divide lurking forward, just walked his way for free into this A site.
Before the post plant, Paper X has the work in out for them.
Tap, just looking to try to see if he gets a peek.
Meanwhile, Debye leaning forward to HP on the enemy
and finds the headshot.
The bite.
Look into this.
Respect that one.
Does find some damage.
And he given a decent shot, a winnable opportunity.
Shrimp likely to be the final most difficult hurdle.
Pixel angle found.
And Shrimp finds the timing.
Wrapping into elbow
Losing the spike for brief at a moment there
But it will be able to find that if use checking around for another weapon perhaps as well, but a G
Taking that first step
Just a great read again off the rip
They're over stacking the numbers and there's an extra player there on that high low
The Ging isn't ready for when he goes for his counter swing
It's a really nice pro activity early from a G
My eyes definitely go into those two raises overall.
Jing widely regarded as maybe the best to ever play
raise going up against the upstart.
Kira is going to be grabbing four specters in a shotgun
for AG here, but three sheriffs being bought up.
Four paper wrecks.
We're going to rumble.
Always do.
Pushing out of the smoke though.
Kira cutting over to the side.
Peaks in is able to find a vibe left back locked in paint shell at the ready going to be exchanged here on either side tries to escape and
Jing does manage to find the kill
And it's gonna be something to be a weapon scooped up and spend gear just trying to hold them off
But I'm shot through that Viper wall man. She's taken a little bit lower
It's just gonna be a full rotate from paper racks are they gonna looks like they're gonna leave forsaken there try to sell this a bit more
So far, A.G. reading, paper X is just going to re-hit A.
Something to pass through.
A little bit of space, Forsaken making noise, clearing the dog.
But nothing else seen.
It's done well, though, to keep them locked in on this side of the map.
Now the smoke cycled in towards Heaven.
The drift down across towards screens.
GRQ at the moment.
The Lumbuk Forsaken now has been found.
Eliminated Paranoia going to cost something, not caught by that, however, does manage to find that kill.
Gets it into a 3v3. The weaponry, as well as the health, very much advantage to the side of A.G. finger.
Diving forward. It's getting his life just for the one kill.
Something rewrapping all the way back through around towards this B. Heaven position.
Might go completely unread. Flash towards back sight. Confirms no presence there.
Changes tucked away behind the box something now striking finds the first shrimp holding it gets it to half
Pulls off of it now swaps the weapon over just trying to get a little bit more ammunition and something is not buying it
When he sees him on it
Oh the round just barely getting away from paper X
I don't think gives him a shrug. I don't think something
thing quite realized that it had already been held to half, but still tons of damage
done here, four paper racks going to their anti bonus, which isn't gonna look like
much for AG. It's as good as it gets without the round win, but they
absolutely should have been able to have that. Yes. It's just a slight little
misread, misjudgment, but something more than happy to get it right back to them
across the stage. I have to suspect that these guys, pretty good friends,
given how much they do scrim.
Well, there's that vengeance.
He's already, he's already jawing at him.
He's giving it to him after that one kill.
It's unbelievable.
And the crowd is erupted with a chance of something.
Meanwhile, Dubai takes out Lola in his own hands.
Was able to find Fengear.
Paper racks look at to get themselves on the board pretty cleanly here. Maybe even flawlessly
unless aging find some punish. They had a couple bandits and a sheriff behind this, but
they're just going to wait this out patiently for seconds going to go for the work this
time. It's going all the way around to be having thinking that he's going to find
them stacked up, trying to die to the spike.
Some noise being made, trying to see if they get that peek out.
You're sankin', not gonna be able to find anything here.
Three remaining players from A.G.
Will be allowed to go down to the spike.
Paper X, deny that bonus conversion.
After all of the damage dealt in the previous round,
they will find themselves online here around three.
And we're finally starting to see something come alive here
as the year wears on.
And those sniper shots are where he is at his best.
He starts hitting those.
Just sees the shoulder and immediately gives it back
to Shrimp, just barely bested him in the previous round.
Wow, just a barrel stuff there from Dubai
on the diving thing here.
That's round over.
Yeah.
And I fall in line for Envy.
You have the secrets for Shrimp.
A little bit ahead in most of the alt cycles as paper X,
just barely.
So it could be a good round to get some of those into play.
He's got that outlaw.
Both players over here in Heaven, the one susceptible.
Those are the jump peek out.
And you're the spot onto Jing,
while falling, and Envy will be able to immediately
find the punish.
Lately now eliminated.
Pounce for a much faster approach,
not having to worry about those saturations.
Jinx pushing forward, shrimp going to be blocked down.
Kira, just makes the trade one back.
If you want, has to backpedal away the spam.
Back up into Heaven.
Takes him to 27.
Now what you want to have happen,
let AG take some Heaven control.
Now you're going to have to scramble on the site
to brawl this out.
No more blast packs though for Kira.
Just the paint shells to try to clear some space.
He's gonna try to tuck into the corner by trying to tee him up
Staring towards having a panel are gonna be sent in be just frantically spring and being rewarded
You don't want to fall into the paint shells. It's your Q now
Which is way forward with the high-low set up around the corner that he cannot break
Hey, you want knows that he's at done just 27 held has to back away paper Rex
Win the follow-up and they tie it up at two to two
And it's just really around that highlights how important those first kills are over on
the extremities of the map.
Paper Rex having two players watching for when the toxic screen drops, and it's just one
for AG.
It indeed instantly eliminates the problem.
It doesn't make a noise.
Fingier is just crouch trying to hold the angle.
Right turn of the watch there for Jing as well.
Yeah.
And it's something we want to keep track of that Raids and
Varies battle. How in the world do you get that one, Indy?
Nasty. If I go swinging out, knows that there was another there.
So far, even Indy knows that he got a little lucky on that one.
But again, you're getting into these alt cycles now.
Jing went away from the showstopper. Indy's still sitting on the nightfall.
Spot check there, going to CGR2, trying to punish it.
Deeperex trying to brute force their way in.
Just one shot for the leg of Jing.
Bring in that smoke, something trying to catch somebody in mid.
You won, planted, very far forward.
That's the first shot, Kieran out down.
Goodbye, hits the better of him.
What a read.
Damn clean. Deeperex starting to hit their shots.
Shots from Fengear does manage to find the volume in the end
with that enemy Viper
Not fall for the clone, but GXU down a one HP that actually gonna be found
Something with the kill and paper Rex his fight now in hand again. It's playing to cross themselves into the lead
That handle recovered now immediately back on the floor peek out thank you another solid shot
Ready, however, is Jing.
This tracks him down with that shorty.
Yeah, it's just really good map awareness.
From Paper Rex this time, reading the whole way
that there's going to be a push out.
Oh, he gets the spot under the hand.
And then divide, there to make sure.
Just a double check at a great sees.
Reading that TP off of GRQ perfectly to eliminate him.
Really good mental awareness.
I was talking to Fingir a little bit behind the stage and he says they're still a little shaky,
you know, they're new to this stage and they're still having a little bit of trouble,
even though they've been finding some success, you know, they're,
they felt like the weight has been lifted off their shoulders a bit.
Still though, one up against the team, like Paper X, it's tough.
This time Paper X wants to clear this happen.
Joe Topper out, lobs it in, and that's going to be Kira dead on the floor.
Something is being the heat seeking system for that missile.
Flash over towards backside to see if he can get down fang gear, able to find Jing as well.
And this round starts getting away from paper racks. Suddenly a 2v3.
Envy trying to assess where this guy has gotten to.
The Seeker's gonna be coming in but Envy finds the perfect timing.
Swoops in, finds the kill.
Nightfall now across over towards Heaven and Screens.
Even the way they're gonna be expended.
Something is holding down at M1.
It's G.R.Q. Right in the rafter, drops down to the cubby, sees at the ready in beat, getting
the catch, getting his right out, and getting the finisher as well.
Something trying to usher them onto their feet.
The smiles on the other side of the stage.
Imagine that there's some frustration behind that as well.
Paper Rex out, up by two rounds.
Still love the macro ideas here for Paper Rex.
Obviously the combo with the ult, very effective,
but it's clearing that heaven space that is so crucial
to the way AG plays this map.
And yeah, it's, yeah.
I love it in B-Learn.
He reached for the headset immediately and he's like,
oh, no, no, no, no, not to keep that on.
I'm going to get fine.
I want to get in trouble now.
Boombot, cleared.
Paranole going to be sent in.
Fangir trying to find something.
This is a little bit of damage.
Jayne once again is the power going to be chasing forward.
Quick refractor around the corner.
Taken.
And chill.
Not going to be able to find too much value.
Delay's tactics are there, and Nevaai.
Off to just back away.
Nevaai, he's stuck in the site.
OK.
He is trapped.
Burst the paper X now, gonna go on a attempt here.
The saving private Ryan foul mission.
Showstopper point blanks, they'll find the one to jump in the corner with the Vi out from garage.
It'll spare his blushes with the solid two-touch of fingear.
The strip now, just making his way out of the sewer.
He'll be playing into a pit.
Just a bandit in hand as the silent drop sees a weapon across the way.
He used the flashes to do a little checking inside the smoke.
Trying to send it around the back as he pushes forward, he will die 4k, 4 divide, Paper Rex
continuing to rack up these wins, continuing to look excellent on this attack.
And that is going to be a timeout call now for HE.
Yeah, I mean the defender side, they're usually so sturdy but Paper Rex is kind of
picking them apart one by one and putting them on the Ecos time
and time again.
That gives them just such huge advantages
where they can go for the extremities,
where they can go for these death ball plays,
and make them work.
And now I'd like to see Paper Rex dig back into maybe trying
to generate some mid pressure.
Clear those heavens a little bit more.
Now that you're going into a buy against your opponent,
they use that showstopper in that last round, too.
That's a huge piece taken away from your opponents,
especially around that AG lost there.
That's devastating.
They went for it on that eco, feeling the pressure.
So now I think you're opening up the ability
to keep putting them off their game,
force them into play styles they don't want to do.
And that's something that has worked for other teams
against AG here.
Just eight seconds left.
Coaches to talk before we get out
of this Coinbase win condition.
Here's the seat.
What they bring to the table here.
to see them try to get that operator online but looks like they will be able to have it.
Going glass cannon.
Yeah, Shroom gonna be passing this one over and Peng Geer can't afford at least a half armor.
Half, okay.
That could have gone for full but he's gonna try to just keep a bit of money behind this.
Is this gonna be enough to try to catch Piper X off guard?
Should be tracking the economy of the opponents and knowing that this is a possibility.
For sure. And look, when we get into the map here, you're going to see that it's actually
AG wanting to contest B-Main, but PaperX is just having A all the way.
We've already got control. A1 in the ropes.
Trying to get some of that, but he got spotted.
Boombot in the paint shells.
BoomSan's in the paint for sake, kid! Oh! Annihilates Fengear!
Goodbye, Operator. Goodbye, WeiLay.
Oh, no. Oh, and it might just be good by each. If they continue like this
Swing in GR kill
Don't manage to find a kill on a forsaken. The plant now comes in
To before the operator down they see the pain now could just back away and try to save that
Special now that he's been spotted
Here I can just tuck back, maybe try to get some exit kills, build up towards another
showstopper, try to get another one before the half to finish.
Will have something served up on a silver platter.
Jumps away.
Divide.
However, ensures that he cannot survive, cannot do more damage.
6-2, paper wrecks, looking alive and well on split.
God, it's just simple stuff for Paper X.
They're just going to the side of the map that AG doesn't gamble correctly on.
It's a very, you know, another attempt at a hard read, so this time, Paper X just changes
sides of the map.
You know, AG feels like they have to reinforce that B side hold to make sure that Paper
X can't keep brutalizing them over there, and then Paper X is just giving all the
space in the world the boom bot just to force back the Viper AU1.
And that's everything you need and for sakin' just unbelievable peak there and Paper X is just like, well, let's see if they can stop it this time.
Slerching forward, frantic backpedal now from shrimp.
GRQ.
Well TP back away to safety and for now it's just Jing, widely taking the front of any damage.
A.G. trying to establish some control, but they're rotating away from this.
Paper X pauses.
Maybe something revealed himself to cure on the other side, and that's caused these
rotates expecting Paper X to try a different angle, different direction.
Now they're having to send another player back, but they're not reading this correctly.
Yet, a correct scaling forward.
That operator holding the long angle.
Oh boy.
Timing here, it could be everything.
Hooked away from the prowler.
Forward past the smoke.
Look at the shot, but in V. He will find him.
Me, though, from AU1.
It's just something on that scale forward towards screens.
So in the end, a one for one.
And Baldwin for now chained around the back.
Snap on to take down GRQ as well!
Oh, he's at 1-1 health, but he's already done so damn much!
Oh my god.
That is disgusting from a meatloaf pile.
Shrimp nearly gets forsaken for his troubles as well.
Bar and Kira going crazy, which he cannot.
It's just another round in the hands of Paper X.
It's just a pause that throws AG off their game here.
Something that Paper Rex really doesn't do a lot.
They don't show this very often where they clear some space and then just wait you out
when they've been revealed.
A lot of times that's fast rotates to try to do something else.
And AG, that's what their anticipation is.
That's what Cura's reading.
And again, I'm not sure if he saw something on the other side of the map or not, but regardless, you know
If he knew that there was a player there a lot of times, you know, they'll call over them
I think there's only one over here. So let's go there with paper X wisely
Changing their style. I'm trying to double up here that long. Yeah, and that's a good start for Kira
Damn good one
Kumbot's exchange on both sides in the back away from that position
A U1, lurch forward to Vias, made it past him, and we're in the mail
So he's just gonna be making some noise,
jumping his way back out of this one,
allowing for that to K to expire.
They almost caught him there.
Really, they have a divide.
I think he's about to catch somebody else.
Footsteps come in his way.
And Kira, no idea.
Divide can find this kill as well.
That might just be the round.
Once again, broken open.
And he won, just desperately trying to snipe Jing out of the sky.
He could not.
Paint shell out of space versus him back over the stairs
Had to come in now for v3
This post plant NG
They need this round. I think they might just save I don't know
We're gonna make a go for it paper X is sending a lot of players around the lurk double rewrapping to mid
A lot more pressure now. I'm changing forsaken to try to hold this line
Watch out, thank you, not taking their effects back, forsaken.
Holding his own for two.
And now it's 81, having to deal with all and something will shut him down.
Two more rounds to be played out in the half, and paperwrecks,
what every single one of them.
Divide just so slippery.
I was so busy watching what was going on in that pit.
I never caught how he got out there.
I have no idea.
And he obviously needed an AG.
She's an axe moment from the divide.
Jeez.
You hear Tomb is in my head asking how has he gotten there.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
He just walked right through.
Showstopper now out.
Two targets.
One going to get caught.
And something able to find Geer at the same time.
Paint shell off to the backside.
Thing here able to go ahead.
Plant this feed.
Finds the one.
But nothing more.
Such a snappy, pacey punch from PaperX!
As they look to take everything from AG.
Another 3k from something.
9 rounds, racked up PRX.
Looking to make this a 10-2 affair.
And they're just everywhere on the map, and they're winning these battles.
You get another showstopper into the mix, around before Kira 10.
They put it to great use, and then they are just spreading out.
And AG is just blindsided.
They have no idea what's hitting them.
They have enough for mostly rifles, well, all rifles, but a Guardian for AU1.
one from also on both sides to consider and immediately
AC again divide those slipping past that trailblazer but here will be able to shut them down
Long last advantage for a cheese paper X might just be overheating a bit and they have jing
Shing out right into GRQ
Here the seekers showstopper out something quick exit will rewrap back in through ramen has a cake fresh set up in the garage as well
Now, he's taking able to find one, 3B, 4N, out, Fingir refracting back, low on HP and something
up striking from behind!
Fines into the two, Fingir, spot of the drop down, the saturate going to be lobbed in but
it doesn't get the catch.
And something has the time on his side, he's got the angle, Fingir!
Nevermind!
Gets the head shot, and gets the round!
Oh something he's kicking himself a little bit there. He played that round so well until the very end
Absolutely feels like you should have had it but still a considerable leap from paper racks
We'll see if a cheek and rally back like they did versus mates on bind. We come back after the half time
The whole team.
Santiago!
I think we can feel the tension in this environment,
of what this second half means,
and how the team is living, right?
Let's cheer up the teams a little bit.
David seems to be here.
Rex
And now all gamers all gamers
No, but what is this?
And where are the fans of Allgames?
Wow, it's beautiful.
I want us to break through, please, space and risk.
They're going to win.
Paper X!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
will return to the game and it will be epic for all gamers
favorite rags
all gamers
I have something clear
the winners are all of you friends
they are crazy
and they know it as always
Santiago
I'd say paper X with the lead by narrow margins there in the crowd they're just here to cheer
for damn good valorant at the moment paper X widely have been the ones delivering on
that six round deficit for HE needing to walk back three to nine a half saw what they were
able to do just a few days ago that bind from mates eight and four them in the
deficit and then had a perfect second half that is what we are looking for here
from AG. It's also crazy to think that your two-something clutches away from
this potentially being an 11-1. I mean the map could have gone very
worse for AG so let's see if they can keep their mental in check, quick jump
They're really see much AG close to the vest.
They want to establish this mid control,
took a little bit of time early.
Paper Rex is like, they're going a ramp.
I swear they're going a ramp, boys.
Actually, they are going to be going over towards B and Divy.
Well, kind of just wrecked his boom bot.
Didn't bounce into me at all.
So no info going to be gained there for Divy.
Count a back pedal away.
Loan on this side of the map and now being joined by something.
I think his paperwrecks quickly going to be pivoting into position.
Spickin' hand for Shrimp.
Waits for the smoke to bloom to drop down, and now the plant can get into play.
5v5, and this could be absolute carnage.
Paperwrecks for the moment, doing well to read this potential flank around the back,
but as they jump over into male, nothing's gonna be seen.
Sees Nave with a Nade not deep enough.
Ram not gonna be there, Shrimp.
Nade to the find, 1 GRQ with another something.
Coming back into the fight, A.G.1 on the fight.
Now, fight, spending a lot of the front,
but it's gonna be Shryck again.
Three big kills for him in the pistol.
It's A.G. taking the unnecessary step.
I had just able to find the open space on the map.
It's just a really gambled stack,
four paper racks, a four-one.
And, you know, Divide does well
to not give up his life off the flash.
Paychells takes a little bit of damage,
but from there, A.G. can just get in,
Settle in set up that lurk and the timing really nice
You know you could see paper X considering it at the very least
But I think that's something you need to be thinking about as this half wears on
Always have somebody watching your back because there's always somebody trying on a G
What in the hell how they just try to spam jing off the orb taken in be just
Sends out a bandage up to the smoke finds fingear
Start to remember how that antique around went for a G in the first half
There were no survivors!
No one's won an anti-eco yet this match.
Paper X wanting to close this one out.
Should say on the eco side of that.
Yes, and we got that 50.
Full cluster, but moving around now from Paper X,
they're getting, their players, their pieces in position.
Just fishing for any cop spray contact he can get.
be arriving out of sewers to buy all the way through. Remember there was a time for a pivot
into the vents, this would be it for AG. Seems like they still want to commit forward onto
this site. Shot's going to be going wide, AU1. If we kill a lot of his Saken, but Envy
scoops up that weapon. The inspector absolutely destroys them. Just the Viper remaining.
And this time it looks like Paper Rex is going to seal the deal.
A like shot but now corralled.
It is a MasterCard thrifty.
The hands of Paper Rex.
Stopping any possible momentum build up.
That may be the final nail in AG's coffin.
Ah!
Oh, he's just trying to go.
Yeah, yeah dude.
Yes!
It's sometimes that
You can tell just asking this is something that has happened many times before in scrims. Yeah
Just asking the heavens. Why me? Why me today?
I've been playing so well. What have I done wrong? Yeah
What have I done to deserve this?
There's a shotgun for Kira a couple sheriffs in there as well
Well, could go blast packing in here.
So, DeVy has a little bit of backup when we're shaking.
Oh, something swoops into that smoke.
He's able to catch G.R.Q. before he can get a shot off.
Trying to ride the rope down.
Kira will be able to find in me,
but Jake cleans him up, gets the specter in hand.
Goes ahead and massacres.
Okay. Just A.U.1 now.
Settle down, Paper Rex.
No worries at.
I
Don't know what those words mean I should know better why am I even saying it?
Not
Okay
It's fine. He didn't like them. The disaster is avoided.
It's lucky to die. Yes, survives the 22 health.
What a read here. Jane is fucking in.
Expecting them to try to take that space.
This team sometimes. Not much more you can do but smile about it.
If you are the players but for the coaching staff, it is a final timeout call
Trying to ensure that this is in the last in Master Santiago
We'll go into the Coinbase win condition
Another full buy a couple half armor some regions in there as well
But no ultimates to speak of no and it's gonna be tough man because
because Paper Rex has done a really nice job today
of taking away the strengths of AG on this split.
So you saw it on the attacker side,
where they're able to take a lot of Heaven control
on that A side.
And here, they're denying them mid.
Again, this is a team that likes to take some space there,
tries to get those pivots, tries
to get those setups in the towers
so they can take those dives onto the site with Kira.
Paper Rex has been a step ahead.
So I think now, I don't know what you're going to do
AG the answer going to be to spread the map a little bit and then try to work your way forward
Who knows it feels like you're getting beat at every twist and turn here on split no matter what you try
Paper Rex has been better
It's gonna have to dig
Even deeper than you did on that vine
From the flash to IQ dead Ching able to find the one
But now forward it's one chunk away from that show stopper
Well, I'm not gonna see Fengear here.
He's gonna try to grab this up, covering fire from Forsaken, keeps him protected now.
He's got that showstopper, ready to go.
Broke cycled forward, something here at the corner, the spot of the judge, Fengear dead.
Just cannot catch a break.
Oof, here on however, good timing found, Forsaken gonna be caught, trying to swing back out of the garage as paint shell goes over the top.
Oh, it's shrimp hits one hell of a shot, something, however, multiple pellets connecting, gets
really going to be raced, just the rocket is there, shrimp just locked in position.
Say you want to just desperately try to work his way towards this side of the map, but
his teammates fall in far too quickly.
They know exactly where he is. No utility to speak of, just a vandal.
This would be one hell of a break of a high low, but he cannot make it happen.
The 3K for Jing, the economy in the dumps, paperwrecks are at match point.
What a way from reaching the top four at yet another global event.
They've just been getting better and better and better as the day has gone on.
Jin getting hot there, making sure to cover him so we can get that showstopper.
A big part of that round right there.
The alt-cycling been really good on this map for PaperX, obviously, but keeping A.G. on those weak fives.
Oh, Forsaken. It's out of there.
You're one away from that Dimensional Fifth as well for something.
Yep.
Just the Seekers for Shrimp, AU1, two charges from a pit.
He's going to even love to have...
There's even a world where Envy gets his nightfall in this round.
Something just a pulled little jumpy there.
Trailblazer just getting a spot on the Divyre, a frack, Apple ready for 10 gear.
It's going to be weird with that push out, but now, AU1 trying to hold his own.
Flash is able to turn that, some damage across on to Envy.
Payne's y'all going to be lobbed into the corner, and Envy will collect a headshot.
A player down now.
Something watching the exit upstairs.
Has been here, helmet.
He's thinking however, has fallen.
Going to a 3v3, but it's too ult available to the side of Paper X.
Conventional drift invested the nightfall.
Waiting for it, trying to assess the angle.
Sends it, they see the split of the players.
One in the garage, one in the back side.
The exit from Jig, another swing around.
Clines in, and now it is just your kill!
Can not find a damn thing. Something shuts him down. 13 to 4. Paper Rex. Rocky at the start.
Had their pants. Grabbing their pants. But they close it out cleanly. Here on Split.
Just standard Paper Rex stuff. They make you sweat. They make you worry.
But in the long run, they managed to find ways to get Blizz.
Was it clean? It wasn't pretty at times, but they're able to get there.
And this is the level that it's something has been lacking throughout kickoff,
throughout the start of this tournament.
These last several series, he started by that form that he put on display
when they lifted that trophy at Toronto.
Yes.
Commiserations though to all gamers, a fantastic outing for them,
really turned around our expectations.
It showed why they came into this as the number one seed.
And gave hope to a region that there is still
things that can happen for you this year.
There is still wins to be found at the global level.
So keep it up.
Keep trying.
And come back strong again, because I think eventually
China is going to find their way back
to competing for trophies.
This feels like that start that we saw from the EDG when they appeared in Masters Tokyo back in 2023.
We want to see that continued development, that continued appearance out of these global events.
So to all gamers, I hope to see you at Masters London, but for Paper Rex, it is great to see you back in the top four once again.
They are still contending for that second title.
What a hell of a day!
So pegers across the board. Let's now send it down to the floor and hear from paper X in the horizon post match
How are you today? I want to talk about that first map. It was you guys were pretty down
It was pretty difficult, but then you demonstrated that resilience you have going on as a team
I just want to know what will stop in between maps in order to get the comeback and win the series
I think it was a very big gamble going to post today
For Korot, I think you guys can blame it on me. My PC was kind of laggy. Kind of laggy
So that's it. The fault PC's fault?
My fault. I should have asked the rep to restart the game earlier, but it's just on giving excuses, you know
But yeah, I'm very proud of the boys. They managed to bounce back from Korot.
They played, I mean, AG played very well. We played better towards the end, so yeah, I'm very happy.
and finally it was amazing and I'm very happy.
I'm lucky because they are even better and today we cannot change something and we just hope that we are going to win for the day.
And it still needs some details to be able to have 100% but every time they are more confident.
Confiantes now for my last question you're going up against G2 one more time. They have grown throughout this tournament
But do you have any words for them before that match?
Hello brothers, I guess we meet again so let's just do our best and
Hopefully the best thing win and make it fun for the car guys
the audience is here. You were talking about the audience. Do you want to send them a message
now? Do you want to send a message to this incredible audience? Thank you so much guys.
I only learned few words and one of them is Te Amo. So yeah, the energy is crazy.
And hopefully from tomorrow onwards it's going to be even crazier, you know. We
love you guys. Thank you. Let's see what's going to happen. Well, basically he says
The only word I've learned is I love you, so I'm very happy with all of you.
This is all I have for the interview, thank you very much.
Right up in that Velina, but before we get to that, we managed to pluck something out of the mix.
Congratulations, something, another top four at a global event. How are you feeling?
Feeling great to win like this, you know.
And another top four, another lower bracket run, and hopefully in the two days we'll show our best.
Yeah.
All gamers were speaking about that. You have been practicing a little bit,
and probably that's the reason why they chose that Coro.
Do you want to take us back to what was happening in that first map?
I mean
I feel like for myself I start to beat lol in terms of like energy then on the second and third map
Yeah, I'm bound was back as a individual player and then I helped me team a lot in second and third map
Now obviously you talk about your energy coming back individually in the server
I would also say outside of the game you get on your feet
There's a lot of trash talking going on you and shrimp or I each other off across across the stage
He was like more animatably you see from you. What's what's that about? How you been feeling today?
Why I've been wanting to get on your feet and let him know
So basically almost he start pointing at me every single route as you can see for example on the clip like
Like why I don't know at this point. I just don't understand why me. You know why he pointed at me
I do nothing, you know
My opinion if I was playing against you something I were trying to get on your head because I'd be very very scared
So basically like I took it as a challenge. I will say I took it as a person
If you just like keep on changing for no reason then
As you can see on the on the match. I still doing that like everything around
Yeah, I mean you played insane
Does it help you that there's that kind of back and forth on the stage because for some players?
It kind of takes them out of the game
It takes them away for their focus, but it seems like you only locked in even more why you were standing up and pointing at it
I mean
Basically, Anger helped me at some point, because I get the challenge, you know, the guys keep pointing at me, I want to give him some lesson, you know, don't do that again, I guess.
And yeah, that's it.
We've been seeing that, you know, from the beginning of the year, this is kind of a meta that favors you guys a lot.
But there's been ups and downs this tournament. What do you make of the competition so far?
How do you think the rest of the world is giving you now to play in a little bit more towards your style?
I mean, you just like well around overall just keep pushing us to play more aggressively in terms of like because there is no info basically
Yes, you have a scan you have some dogs and stuff, but it's not enough
So basically like it's kind of our meta, but at the same time
We need to also just to other people because they're playing like us, you know, we're not used to it sometimes
You've been changing up your comps and a lot of these maps quite a lot
Is that part of the same idea that you're trying to adapt your opponents a little bit?
Yeah sometimes it's just like we want to try something new and as you can see on
buy-and-play the hour 2020 Falcons.
Did you miss the geckos?
Kinda yes, I mean it's fun agent to play and all I get like five kills with the
mollies last year it was definitely fun and yeah and answering your question
yeah we want to try something new and see what's gonna happen you know.
Now we have a bracket here I mean let's have a look at your next
You guys are being pitted up against g2 hero calls again. It's like a way to lowers
The game gonna be a bit spicy, you know
definitely want to beat us and you definitely
Gonna play at our best as you can see we are at the lower bracket as you guys mentioned
Yeah, so it's might be our last game, you know, so we need to take it like seriously
100% I will say.
Yeah.
You see also that speaking about changing columns,
we've seen G2 making some adaptation
and also playing into that, into the middle.
What do you think will be the key to winning against them,
to continue that train in the lower bracket?
I guess I'll say in general, keep the same mindset
as we did versus other teams and as we did versus G2,
every single time we play versus them, just like.
And more like, adjust to them because they,
Every single game we played yesterday, since like 2024, it's always something new from different...
Yeah, something different, you know?
So, just like, we need to adjust on the day itself and... yeah.
You guys are so interesting. Both teams are really willing to reinvent themselves,
or make those changes to their comps in order to get ahead.
So, that promises to be a fun game.
Yeah, it's going to be fun. Definitely.
Now, I mean, it's been great to have you here, of course,
and folks, great to have you here with us.
We're taking a break for two days, but we'll be back March 13th,
when Nomchim Red Force takes on NRG followed by G2 versus PRX something great to have you with us man.
Good luck, of course, later on this week for now. We're down to our final four teams who will take over the Master Santiago trophy.
The action continues Friday to see you there.
Strap on those bloody life jackets, couldn't sink or swim here in Master Santiago.
It's a clash of regions, a clash of generations. G2 versus BBL starts right now.
And look at Jorgamo, he gets this right and he absolutely does through G2, are on the money
today and leap his landing shots.
This is a different caliber.
Nice!
Get away!
Look at me!
Look at you!
G2 better than BBL?
Yeah, for sure.
G2's way better than BBL.
At least a bit of safety with Lorak who's taking a bit of damage for baby.
Oh!
Brutality!
Yeah, GT's way better than video.
At least a bit of safety with Leroc, who's taken a bit of damage for Bay Bay.
Oh!
Brutality!
From Q2!
Yo, Leroc!
Hit a shot!
Let's hop towards this, Bay Bay.
I mean, that's utility in hand.
That's a bit of a miss on that one.
And Lloyd just turrets them down.
It is a shutout!
No!
No!
No!
This is bad!
Room to try and hold on!
But with Trent in this level of form, the connection not good enough, and Trent is out for blood!
Four big kills! G2 making it up to 12!
As they're desperate to hold on, desperate to dig deeper, to do whatever it takes to win a life!
Six bites! Baby Bay! The one to break them down to pieces!
G2! Sentence PBL to silence! It's that Tiago!
This is all game news, this is their last chance with our whole region's hopes on their shoulders.
And PRX, you don't care for narratives, they don't care for fairy tales, they don't care for happy endings.
They're here to hold W and click heads. Let's bring them onto the stage.
Have to start pushing it! G.R. Kill! There's the B2!
This might still down the floor. G. frantically trying to recover from an A.U.1.
Plans to kill the plant. I think it's too late now. It absolutely is.
Shrimp cleans up the remainders. He tells him to sit the hell down.
Sit the f**k down.
He's self-talked. And Shrimp hits it again. Gives him a wave goodbye.
A forefall in the finger's hands.
Three peek here and out. Eliminated. Two players left alive. Now just the one.
Ten gear, trying to make it go a bit, but he cannot, Paper Rex, find the bonus conversion.
He's not buying it.
Winning for Xavi, sees him on it.
And then it seems it's just gonna be held.
Oh, the round just barely getting away from Paper Rex.
Sir, drops down to the cubby.
He sees at the ready, in beat.
Getting the catch, getting the spread out.
And getting the finish there as well.
Oh no.
You can't. You can't. You can't. You can't. You can't. You can't.
Oh divine!
This is the Iambolical!
He exit from Jake, another square round, finds it and now it is just CRQ.
Cannot find a damn thing! Something! Stunned him down! 13-4! Paper Rex!
Rocky at the start! Had their pants! Grappin' their pants!
