Today, our 2025 chat be introverted to the America stage and we'll get our first
look at the brand new M.I.B.R.
Hello everyone, and welcome to day numero race of kick-off. We're coming to the live from the ride games arena here in the sunny
The beautiful. They're amazing. They're all shangu reach kind of whole-ni-a and I'm golden boy here
We're joined of course once again by an Emily for today's double-header
I think I do in yesterday. I'm so sorry that I'm back. I know you had a lot of fun with this
It's not so nice.
Just because it's so nice, I can't believe it's doing it.
That's absolutely amazing.
That's so amazing.
You're right.
They can do this to me.
Honestly, it's pretty good.
And I'd like to make this my wallpaper, all right?
Which is good.
Yeah, all right.
Well, we're not.
Let's go ahead and talk about yesterday's matches
because we saw a brand new feudia take the...
Oh, excuse me, I saw one of my words there,
but this is something that I love.
You scared of my hair.
Oh, my goodness.
I have no fear to answer, you know, a substitute crew.
But I think that's important to note here.
Yeah, and I want to know that it's their first win
and 364 hits.
Like that's a game that I know something you're going to do here.
It wasn't 365.
Who has something to do with that?
No, it's not a game.
Really, that I don't know.
No, we saw amazing things coming out of them as well.
I think also a crew, they did a really good showing,
but then obviously we saw a hundred these playing against Laven.
These two were like probably the closest games
that we're going to see this kick off I feel like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This wasn't saying 100 things.
They really showed their strap, but they really showed the depth they went through.
To build that foundation and surround these players with a really good sense.
Yeah. I mean, look, from me watching at home, I felt like I was seeing a few
of that team that was looking pretty solid.
Despite what I were facing off against, they had great ideas.
I'm excited to see this team more in this season.
And 100 beams.
Those boys walking out there playing with all the confidence
No, I absolutely believe in them.
I don't want to do this, I know.
Okay, all right.
All right.
I think I was in the presentation.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
No red front of these.
That was the thing.
And you've already here first.
No bias on the desk.
No, not so.
And of course, we got three spots open for
Masters Santiago, which means that there are going to be three
brackets in play.
We really like the number three here for some reason.
Today's the three three brackets.
Unbelievable.
Now, they do say best things come as a three.
Now, look at this here, right?
right? As we continue forward in our
competition, right? We still have our
teams that are going to be scrambling for the
bottom. But, you know, I think that this is such a
different format. Obviously, I know you haven't had a
chance to play in a format like this before. I'm pretty sure.
Looking at it from the professional
perspective and your experience, how do you even tackle
something like this? Because it's such a long process.
It is really long, and I think definitely the
teams want to be that first one qualifying, because
they don't want to give away too much. Because again,
And once you do qualify, you do have to play in master's.
And having that strapbook out in the open is always kind of off the best.
So when you do drop down, you have that little worry of giving up a lot of what you have.
But it gives you more time as a professional to kind of make up your strapbook.
Fix your mistakes and make sure you have a lot of that foundation built and experience,
especially if you have rookies on the team.
Yeah, no.
I mean, if you aren't doing that too, that's also scary because with a three bracket and
having 26 matches ahead of us, there can be so many upsets that come out in order because
they have the extra time to your growth.
Yeah, it's going to be exciting to see how our teams,
especially those in that third of the lower lower bracket,
how they try to keep things fresh
and keep themselves to get ready for Massor Santiago.
But today, we have an RG, our defending world champs.
You saw them, you know them, you love them.
They're going to be taking the stage and a little bit.
They're going to be going up and it's time now to the stage.
No, no, no!
What the hell?
What?
What is going on right now?
Oh!
I might have you.
I'm doing a ploy to me.
Thank you.
I've really said you're so beautiful.
You're so beautiful.
Wow!
Wow.
You said you're not the one I am the Lord Master.
I'm just a good evening Lord Master.
Good evening Lord Master.
Thank you.
But, you're like a man.
I have no fear.
I have to ask you three questions about Valorant lore.
More threes.
More threes.
More threes.
Very magical number.
Oh, I know you're here.
I can sense that you're here.
And you don't worry.
I brought these rooms.
Oh, they're all strong.
Oh, you're a intelligent stat.
Yes, so I wrote it.
I don't know.
I definitely need a three- to eight,
of 10, 141.
Oh, yeah, that's about it.
Oh, that's my new, all the venues.
I'm all right.
Yeah, there we go.
All right, I'm ready.
I got my, my plus five charisma.
There you go.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
That should be started with Athena!
Oh, oh, are you running my dear?
Yes.
What was the name of the event that day, Radians, their power?
Yo.
Dad.
I'm just telling you that.
That's not my name.
Are you ready for that?
First slide.
Oh, correct.
Athena.
Correct.
Oh, I'm not sure.
So, you're still here?
No, it's not.
That's not exactly what I'm asking.
I can't even hear that.
I can't.
I can't.
Oh, no.
Oh, OK.
Who is the founder of the Valorant Protocol?
And who is their number two?
The answer is not going to be their look at the other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me.
Who is the founder of the Valorant Protocol?
I feel like it's weak.
So what would you say?
I'm guessing.
Well, thank God I got that for my mind.
It's an agent.
And I'm feeling like Brimstone.
I feel like Brimstone is kind of rough.
What's going on?
Number two, I'm a guy now.
Ain't no, give me a break.
I'm a guy.
Did you?
No?
No.
No, we would never see her.
We would not see her.
We would not see her.
And Ray now.
Because she's like, she's like,
this is for her.
Correct.
Oh, wow.
You corrected his bike first.
Oh, wow.
Why are they in a classroom?
I don't know.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
You can do a line right now.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my.
That's all the way.
I find a question is for you.
Okay.
And I made it the hardest one.
Oh, why would you do that?
Because I'm the Lorna.
Oh, it's me.
Ah, yeah.
Before the existence of Brady Knight became well known.
Uh-huh.
What organization tried to keep it a secret?
I don't know the government.
That's usually how it goes.
Well, I'm just thinking about drifting.
Well, I'm not.
Okay.
Do you think that could help science of our glass?
You've seen them on a big piece?
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Maybe it's a fizzy hourglass.
Yeah.
I think the job law master.
I need to go.
I need to go.
I need to go.
Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to know.
We didn't know.
She's like, I'm not a liar.
Okay.
I need to be a liar.
I'm just okay.
Okay.
I'm not sure if it's you.
She visits you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to know.
Wow.
That was something else.
I'm never actually going to show it.
in the show.
Lifely.
Right by the way, which is so integral...
What is your drop?
You dropped my gem.
Everyone's got to go to E.O.
I'll deco.
I'll be the defo in the game.
Oh, let's go ahead.
Two operes on the day.
It's major's a team that has found their place
in the VCT or books.
It is our defending world champions and our G and look and what can we say about these guys
Are you Athena? They go out there. They pull off the impossible. They get that champion
Should they get that trophy and they make a story
We're on an immaculate run. I mean they're run through champs. They didn't lose a single
B-O-3. They only lost three maps overall. This team was looking like they were on fire
You've been, of course, being that first two-time champions winner.
I'm yelling in this one too, which is a crazy feat to have,
and now going into it, they've only made that one small change
where some obviously has small change.
A small change, but a big one.
Some times it's tired, Kiko is in place to replace them.
Yeah, I mean, Ethan's leadership was something that was,
like, honestly, needs to be studied, because now,
we have a bunch of people with one chance when they're about whatever,
whatever it helps us.
Now you need to, okay, they kind of get on that same level.
But no, it was such a heartwarming moment for Salman.
Anyone who's really been a fan of him
because that when was so bad that Salman knew?
Yeah, no, for sure.
And it is something to be said, though,
that Salman's impact on the team wasn't just the stats he was putting up.
It was a lot of the intangibles that made Salman such an oppressive teammate
and a great hype man to boot.
Let's just take a listen to this.
Just trust each other for everything you do.
Because I promise you, I will be trusting you.
Let's keep going on a good fight back all bro. Let's go, Brock. Perfect Ethan. Perfect Ethan. Yeah, I don't know but that's just you wanted as well trust yourself. It's good.
That's good. I'll keep reassuring you just don't just trust yourself. Perfect perfect that book's good. You know I will always be there.
Now, again, to the untrained ear, right?
That may just sound like some common, you know, good team
made affirmations.
But when you are in those intense scenarios,
on a stage surrounded by thousands of screaming fans,
and you need to perform and have a big escape in your life.
Having a guy like that, that calm, cool,
and collected in those moments, Emily?
Yeah.
Hurley pays off.
I mean, actually, murder was the one who did that for me.
I've been talking for a long time, as a manager,
and I also had to be there for the younger players
of the team when I was playing, like, em, lo and dodo.
And yeah, the impact that those people have,
and keeping the whole team together,
it's like a blue, right?
And without that, you can kind of follow
apart, you can kind of lose yourself in the match,
but having someone to kind of bring everyone back on track
is a must.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
And then, you're looking at who's coming into that,
and having to fill that, and that was something nice
of you for her to say.
I know.
But let's talk about those losing that.
because now Kiko's going to be coming into this team.
And we've seen him play a couple of season events
with the squad. We've seen them have some success
in some setbacks here and there.
But for the most part, I mean, you're coming in
and you're feeling some bit shoots.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, coming in from EMU,
he brings that experience.
He brings a lot of that, you know,
mechanical, raw, and power.
I think for sure, one of the best emers,
I would say pretty high up there within V.C.
America's right now, but definitely one of the best
emers from EMU itself.
And now Kiko, let's see Kiko.
Rico, he is looking to fill those shoes.
So he had a really good leadership quality.
So earlier we were talking about Ethan
and how he managed to have that leadership quality
throughout NRG as their chance run.
And I'm feeling like maybe he doesn't really have
to fill those shoes, but he can feel the mechanical shoes
within the server for sure.
Yeah, I could definitely see someone else
on our own sort of kind of picking up that roll.
But I think Rico, yeah, Rico's gonna be great.
And I got out of here.
And now, yeah, we're a great, cool man, you know,
especially for being a zoomer.
like I think the vibes are gonna still be there.
And you know, we saw them play a lot of controller,
but we also saw them back when he wasn't EA playing killed or playing race.
So I could see him not only being the controller for this team,
but also maybe flat, so try it out.
Yeah, they got a lot of options on this team.
And a lot of talent across the board,
scary, scary force to have to deal with here.
But let's actually check in with Kiko,
have an opportunity to catch up with Elizabeth alongside his IGL, Ethan.
Well, here with Kiko and even from Energy,
I'm asking about the same question,
but just directed towards one another.
Kiko, what do you think Ethan brings to Energy?
I think Ethan brings a lot of experience
and he's insane with Latches.
I've been planning a lot from watching him.
Okay, some want me to read, so yeah.
I like it, where do you think Kiko brings energy?
He brings a young energy.
If we get the vibes from him,
then obviously, probably the best aimer in the area,
so that can be a blessing that needs him.
Well, best of luck, and welcome to VZG America, Skicka.
While, at least, you know that the comms of volumes
never going to go above a certain decibel, you know?
Right, I feel that.
At least everything's going to be clear here.
But let's jump to the other side of the field here,
because according to Cloud9, right?
Now, this is a squad that knows that the reason the energy
won the trophy, according to them, was because they were in there.
Here's what Oxi and Zelsis had to say on match point.
I just say that the folks he let them win chance by letting them qualify.
No, don't put me with it.
I got to come here because of that.
I said to you.
And look, yes, it is all fun and games for sure.
But let's talk about the fact that this cloud nine squad.
They have failed to make levels year after year,
but you heard Zelsis there Emily say,
I am here to bring us to egg level.
You see something that would make that statement true based on their last game.
Yeah, I mean, we talked about their changes a lot on their last day.
And we got to see a lot of it during their two O against love.
They were able to adapt.
They didn't get stuck in their ways, which I kind of felt like we saw last year on their
piece. So that was one of the main problems.
When they started losing rounds, they couldn't adapt.
They couldn't find a solution.
But here with leadership specifically from Zelsus,
I think they were able to overcome that.
And it showed in that match.
Yeah, I feel like their play style used to be a lot of this slow kind of taking stuff,
falling back, getting information, and then executing was now, it felt like they had the confidence
to just once he got the info full-send it.
They were there.
They were pushing protocols out as fast as possible.
And I really think that's one of the main reasons why this team looks so much better,
but then going into that yesterday in the Greener Moller watching Vic, he had a stand out
game.
I know this ACS doesn't look like anything crazy.
We've seen this multiple times on the controller, but 208 ACS comes big, but it didn't
because every time someone was trying to go to his sight,
Emily, it felt like he was holding it down.
No, it was. He was so good at anchoring on the defense.
He's so good at maneuvering around not only his own swims,
but whatever's going to thrown at him.
Yeah, with that support coming in from the rest of it's you,
he was on fire. Like, if he was so hard to break.
Yeah, it felt like he got multi-kill after multi-kill on his sights.
He did his job 100% of the time it felt like,
and he was kind of the silent killer.
Yeah, he was crazy up there in the scoreboard,
but he was constantly flipping around.
And that's the area you want to sit at right?
Look at me wrong.
Being top of the stat sheet always lovely, always great.
But when you know that every single kill you had,
every single moment you contributed massive impact in that round,
that right there pays dividends.
But for more on this matchup,
let's go ahead and send it back over to Elizabeth.
Had an opportunity to catch up with the man, Zepa.
Now, Zepa Cloud 9 came in just short of taking
you know, energy in the state shoot playoffs last stage in 2025, talk to you.
What is the difference between that roster you play with then in this roster now besides, you know, the obvious?
Oh, I think the team holds the power of like nepotism and I think that's like the strong
thing we have now and that's a clear difference, so shout to Peney and Zossus.
The newest agent to Valorant V2 is already seeing some use, but the primary map where people
picking him at the pro level is on a bus. So I want to run you through some setups on
defense and on offense to be able to get the most use out of it, maybe in your
round games to copy the pros. So here's a really standard setup on A. You've got
the interceptor up here which is going to catch stuff coming through the
choke point and you can evacuate out to spawn or to heaven with a trip close to
be able to help you and these can get mixed up a little bit too. I mean you could
put the interceptor in pit as well. You've got a passive mid setup that you could
go into here with three different options for teleport positions allowing you to
play top mid and look for info and get out whenever you want and still keep all of this
utility for an opera perhaps and holding over towards the B-line. If you want to do
a regressive mid option, you can tuck into this spot deep in mid that chambers and your
rules like to play and you have this teleporter to be able to escape over towards B and again
leave that utility for somebody else to be able to play with. And if you wanted to play B,
I think this one's a really nice set up, the underutilized, you've got a cliff position here
and you can jump teleport for information as if you are playing your
room and you can still escape the site, escape out to be heaven and still
again have your incentive to be able to play around. So now that we've looked
a little bit on defense, let's take a look at some of the attack setups.
And a lot of vetoes job is going to be to control the map,
kind of solo sometimes whilst helping with the execs. So let's look jump into
be here, you want to be placing your teleporter in a position where you can escape.
Normally on be you don't need the interceptor to be able to control this area,
Put down a trip in case somebody pushes you early on or put down a trip to cover the flank through mid
and then you can take this top area and you've essentially controlled the B space all on your own.
So let's rotate around over towards A and I'll show you what to do on the other side of the map.
Again, there's many different varieties of things that you could do here, but one of the ways you can play this
Interceptor early on to deny space and then as your team is going in this direction, a TP for later on, a TP to get in on the site with the rest of your team
combine this with a smoke and you're in and you've got tons of options to be able to play up
towards heaven, try to get an early pick and you can always take this teleport to a skate.
If you do end up playing out and a little more passive, how about leaving this trip as well
to let you know if they drop out of heaven, a great place to be able to give you something
bit of information and let's have a look again at what this angle looks like if you do
TP back under this box, you could plan for bridge or you could plan for default and you
completely safe and even if you do end up falling off the map as veto, don't worry.
It's a giant cylinder and you can always escape.
So try out veto in some of your games.
There's a reason why the pros are playing it here on a best.
Just make sure you learn all of this before you get into my ranked games.
Fun fact.
That was the side show.
Second time having to do that to you.
He died the first time.
All right.
Here are the predictions for today.
for a post matchup.
I'm not right.
I'm not right.
People are not siding with our world-fraking champions.
I'm not a twin or so.
Well, honestly, I just really liked what I saw
with Cloud 9 going into the year.
I think that they made a lot of good improvements,
but I am really surprised by this
because I do think that there should be
a little more energy, believe us.
Well, you're a big fan.
You didn't know.
I'm a C9 fan.
I'm a C9 supporter.
I like what I saw.
I believe them.
OK.
But aren't we supposed to be non-biocoments, though?
I mean, you know.
It is a championship.
I think we all together.
I think the lore master was the only one that did us.
Oh no.
Don't know who the lore master is.
That one's a certain.
Of course folks, there you can see down there an RG, the community,
handedly taking the world champions to pick up this game.
folks for heavy hitters are going to be taking the stage and two of them are going
to be getting straight set straight down to the middle bracket. Day three of kickoff
starts right now.
They're kind of how to prove that they're the same team they were last year
because they changed player and it's a very important player for them.
Like one of the best players in the world.
They're not really looking at them as well, chance.
They have to prove they're still that damn.
Famed to the system that we didn't go by L.A.
just replaced them so I'm just going to defy our first because me and him
they really fit one for one.
The team's been really trying to work on that and trying to build on that
and we will try to figure things out.
in seconds, like that could be picked up, they have to push towards Kito.
His green position is well-aided seconds, like my swarrow!
Man, stack it all, now there's more back, stack it, come into there.
The defense is trying to put the pressure on the Kito.
He is no crumbling!
We're coming off the back of the nice one, so we're very confident.
It's not finished yet, but as a smoke-straighter like Kiting,
it's just dominating, decimated in the opposition,
stealing up and closing down, shock.
It's a great opener, that's a cloud sign.
Riot Games Arena, let's get this Saturday started,
makes some noise for cloud!
I ain't not!
Taking on the previous champions is cloud nine.
This is by far the biggest challenge yet.
and they already made a statement with a 20 win over loud.
But there's still so much to prove
and they have the opportunity to do so right here right now.
This is a new item through the T9 that is shown.
They can swap them up and adapt them things on going the way.
And that will be the winning condition.
Going against such a play by the book team like G2.
Yeah, they've already proved themselves proof that those stand-ins
are only adding success to this team.
Penning's also is really proving themselves
and proving that they can fit in with an already solid pour.
just hoping to see how coach I mean
cells work together to really develop
that strap. But and against energy
especially do they have a lot of those
counterparts. Please, they know how they play.
They've seen how this sport players kind of go
around it. Is it going to be enough?
Yeah, be for money.
Yeah, I think if you're a cloud non fan, you're
very excited about this team.
And now it's time to bring out their
opponents. It is your 25.
World champion.
And here come the world freaking champions.
These guys who have defied it all, led by the gentle giant himself modda.
This guy and absolute beast in the server continuing to prove why people longed
on that whole thing.
What's up again about scuba as well?
I mean, guys, we're talking about just an absolute top-to-bottom
juggernaut of a squad.
I mean, last year, Moda had an insane amount of aces in just America's itself.
And he had so much to prove, but again, does that pressure get to you?
Because energy now, they have such a big name to hold the house.
Honestly, like, having talked to Moda the amount of time to work with him and the confidence
from that guy, I love it all.
You've got a rookie and that's true, like, but you don't know.
Not rookie rookie.
Not rookie rookie.
Yeah.
He has had some success obviously in the A.
So it does feel like if you know we're looking at an energy team that should be coming
into this one, all the confidence in the world and rightfully so.
Yeah.
I mean, he could even talk in that interview that he wasn't a one to one exact
figure.
Yeah.
So I'm so interesting to see how they play around that with the mass.
Pearl, breeze and buying.
Dude, this breeze by energy actually surprised me.
But Pearl, I think makes sense for C9.
No, I first heard to get those,
because I think they're going to come in strong
with a playbook and have a set,
game plan going into it.
And I think that energy will kind of have a little bit
of a tough time kind of adapting to that.
Just I think I'm going to counter them the whole time.
Or I think they're going to try,
but it just depends on how well they're aiming to do that.
Yeah.
Counter C9.
Yes.
If I mean, they need to, though.
I guess is what I'm wondering.
C9's old Pearl Blaster was phenomenal.
I was probably one of their best match in the interview.
And here they just added a whole other level to that.
With the Zelso family, it's ideal.
Being the person that got to take them out of Rut
when things aren't going their way.
Yeah, I feel like too we talked about Vic a lot earlier.
So being able to anchor those sites on Pearl
is going to be super, super important.
But of course, energy we're looking at explosive executes.
We're looking at ping-ponging on either side of the map,
getting a lot of that information to the IGL,
making sure that they're executing off of a timing.
and they're really, really good at changing up our pace.
I mean, the only real anomaly here for energy
is seeing how Tico is and seeing how they change their game plans
to be around the pace.
It'd be a change, right?
Well, we're being integrated more, so we'll put our friends in.
Yeah, I'm going to point it out that he was usually
a douly's player.
So going into that control role, maybe my heel little beard.
But this cop makes a lot of sense that table
from stuff I really like.
You like the take.
I like it.
OK.
I doubt it, I guess.
Yeah, he did that yesterday and I shouldn't have because it actually was insane.
A lot of postplants playing off is super, super annoying to play against the re-taking against
this confidence scene.
That on top of the acid, you feel like that's all you can use in Santa postplants.
I could see them definitely trying to run down the clock here.
Yeah, it does feel like the name of the game is going to be just drain that clock,
prevent your opponent from being able to get comfortable on those setups and postplants,
but you see something similar on the other side as well here.
Yeah, I think Mod on them way,
they make sense trying to get a lot of that map
control really quickly and being able to fall back.
But they are lacking the stun that we like from the neon.
No, we are going to share, and I think with these two
cons, there's going to be a lot of touching go like you
are kind of saying.
All right, folks, this is a, let's see,
all world champions take to the stage.
And let's get this one started.
Is that a big ol' six, sir?
Yeah, I'm your captain.
I can't get six, sir.
Absolutely despicable work from Golden Boy.
We've got a treat.
We're going to move on past that, because it's RG take to the stage.
In the BCT scene for the first time, since lifting that champion's trophy just a few months ago,
heading up against a C9, fresh up win 2-0 on lap.
And there's a bit of a curse.
With champions winners, no team that is one chance.
Has gone into the next year, fully together to return to champions.
champions energy they've already had to make one roster change, but they're trying to break
that curse and show that they can not only continue this excessive champions, but show that
here in America's something that they couldn't do last year despite their victory in Paris.
And you know, NRG, they did play in one major tournament in the offseason Red Bull home ground
made it all the way to the finals, but ultimately fell 302 G2. That's the only tape we've seen
all of them and it's been a month since then, so plenty of time for them to work out
the Kings to get ready geared up for this kick-off season.
And that's against the Cloud9 with a chip on their shoulders.
Their deepest playoff run ever ended by NRG last year.
NRG are going to be starting things off in to mid here on Pearl very quick work out of
them.
Model already diving up and in.
Stuff through a moment, right behind the other side of a smoke C9 gear for Reefite
Themselves.
Gico.
his first kill on American soil.
Here's the fight continues into our energy, pulling around the cross.
It turns on the time of people shot out from him and our G continued to equalize
though and come up by one.
But now they have options.
Energy's still with a minute, 15, and a player advantage have time to slow this round
down.
Why she might still exist on them out?
They never saw Penny, but they can expect that he was the anchor towards B.
But that not much.
They'll work back towards B long and try and group for a three-flayer hit.
Penny needs to go on a little bit of a mission right now, see nine down a number need to separate, find out what information they can.
See if they can get a pick at the same time, but NRG by grouping together not giving any opportunities over.
Think about how any question marks there still is though all of art was open through mid.
Cloud9 has to re-clear all of that and only now might be starting to consider this be long execute.
Well Penny has found himself in exactly the right position.
30 seconds left and the plant is going to pull one member to put the spike on the ground
That gives him opportunity to isolate his fights. Here's the first
Doesn't bite just yet realizing his teammate is so far away and with that smoke in his way
He doesn't have a chance and with no smokes for energy climb on our full playing for a long
The only salvation would be this one comes out so it's already gone shut down immediately
and he's got right in front of the turret.
A little bit funky.
He knows the position of one player can anticipate the second.
Good work from him on the first but blocks a huge bleed kill is on the round
and the pistol for an RG.
Block the great work from the end of the round
but I think the credit for that one actually being a success has to go to Kiko
as soon as this being started to come on for the final item,
he didn't really recognize the location, which was the breakout.
either I'd like through mid or fight back in the middle of the map and take some kind of ground to avoid that pinch.
They try to commit it today, but Kiko, with that kill in the world to shut down that opportunity
and mentally teammates could arrive and re-map pinch and succeed in the fight.
Good setup and fight over mid out from NRG is going to force C9 onto full pistols, no investment whatsoever out of them.
out of them.
Well, NRG are relatively light all things considered.
Two vandals as stinger, and just pistols on top of that.
So C9, maybe to use a body is here to pick up a few guns, that's going to be the hope
of them.
That's off, C goes diving forward, and runs twice to hold down the line.
It does so until he runs out of bolts, and that's a problem.
The spike is on the ground, C9, and found themselves in a three-on-three in penny secures
the right one.
And that is big.
But a flank already coming here from NRG.
Ethan, when the sheriff in hand is worked this way, hold the way through long, but now he's at the disadvantage against this rifle.
See, now I'm making the choice to give up the spike a little bit, hanging out on long.
Honey, patrolling long is huge to drone creep forward.
NRG have very few tools to actually go for the retail, two pieces of utility. They need some nice shots.
And they need to not take too much time, Ethan's out in the open here is a double swing comes in.
Good first connection.
As at the same time as he gets those kills, the rest of energy picked up the spike
making a high tail over towards A.
And Penny, back in that one B3 position, Ethan taken well.
And as that kill comes in, he's given himself a wall on two now.
Look at the positioning from it, Argym.
leading in mid, hold reading pennies rotation and now hearing it.
Here's the footsteps. He is just a sanctuary.
Right, and the corner, no way pennies
are going to be clear in that angle.
A little bit dicey, but energy taken all the same.
It ends up with basically the same scenario, two rounds in a row,
where pinches coming through from energy.
They only have one player on the side that
climb on its death, really.
Thumb the foot out of that pinch.
And somehow, even from this spot, getting two kills.
He's around it. He's like he's so big bearish right now, okay?
Not just the kills, but just the time he took to allow his teammates to go in and
have that secret mission to secure the spike. Works out in a big way and
well, bad news for cloud nine. Brock's got his gun, Mimi.
Yeah, he does and if you watch Shams, you know the energy are a big light on the
birthday. They like investing into these photos rounds. No, it's full guns here.
Another split look is a dash into
Street only two players from energy working down long in Scuba just lights out on these opening shots
Zepa will try and hold the fort all on his own is the hindrance to turners and not to be slow down whatsoever
But you want to now the spikes so far back into long gives time now
For Kiko to wait and see if seen her in a pounce
For it's still a powerful position up towards heaven,
seemingly don't want to make the first move.
Both teams hold it in this standoff.
It's awkward for energy too,
because they don't have any smoke.
So right now, Brock doesn't feel so good about walking down through
be along without having coverage on heaven.
The longer they wait, the greater the threat of rotation
back towards the end.
But if I find our happy to hold here,
they plan it, you retake two on two.
And our GRL, howling this mid-round, just, three's once again.
It's been a little pattern for them so far, but it's going to put them in an awkward position.
Let's take the three seconds left on the clock.
I'll pull up that dart back soon.
Not the idea.
We'll have the hunter's fury off of this spike plant, though.
See if that comes into play, C9, choose to approach on the floor level.
Keycode doesn't know that.
That's rocket scapes, Kiko sees the first barrel and now we have both players that sets up for the Hunter's Fury and Kiko pulls eight off, three in a row for energy.
The new addition to an energy, a player who maybe didn't get the show, everything he had to offer is one off season showing.
A rise to America's and delivers all the focus around.
This is another one of the so close to flipping away from an energy suspect.
I mean, you think about the last year kickoff or something,
an absolute master of a performance to beat NRG there.
Trying to put that on again here, but not enough in around three.
Hey, you think three kills would have been enough,
but turns out it is not with NRG fully investing into that round
after only taking two rifles in the previous,
because that's themselves up a beautiful way for the rest of this out.
up.
We really saw the attacks I'm calling to develop throughout stage 2 and through champions
for Ethan is the leader of NRG and I think something that's always characterised
NRG, even when it was the nest leading team in the past was how good they are at taking
those mid-round freezes that you're talking about.
Knowing when to take that tactical pause, wait for your opponent to take the move before you
actually activate.
They're a very patient team and that's showing through already here on Pearl.
And that also benefits them a lot when they find themselves in anti-eakos or numbers up situations.
You'll very rarely see them passing away those easy to win rounds.
And finding completely open B helps in this anti-eakup.
Very likely C9 just got introduced at the time of the spike year.
All things considered, especially because C9 are close to some bolts.
actually, you could make an argument for someone like Victor Zepa to go in there and
try to just pick up and org themselves, certainly taking their time here.
Trying to figure out what exactly is going to happen.
Victor Zepa will be leading the charge while the rest of the team is going to die to the spike,
so perfect out of C9 there to get those ultimates in a completely unwindable round.
They've traded for getting Monovick closer to his, but all right out come for them.
Well, there's today's road.
Now, see now, I have to look ahead.
They're first or I fell around,
and something that I thought was being strong from them.
When they were playing against loud,
was a lot of their defensive-sided aggressive looks.
They have a lot of ideas, too.
Leave a solo anchor, normally Kenny Winnie's holding this chamber
and push Oxie into one of these extremities.
We're so glad it's not a complete,
hard hit with a spinning utility beginning,
but they have a lot of great ideas
for how to contact in space
and have a bit of a deeper trapplace set up
that you might expect.
Yeah, extra layers on top of all that.
So C9 will be calling a time out to discuss the opening
to the round to discuss those layers.
As you're mentioning, I think one of the big factors
heading to this next round is you highlighted Penny.
Well, Penny saved up enough money for the operator.
So very likely we do end up seeing him left on his own
to his own devices.
And those are the rounds where these kind of four ones
or one, one, three, are really good because that office
just started stoward and holding down alone.
Part of that piece, though, beyond just the strategy,
He's getting Oxy activated.
Oh, in three right now,
did Ask Chris talking about how energy and some ways
lost their kind of vibe sky there.
Energy sink in some,
and I'm having to fill that gap.
I think you look over at Cloud 9 and Oxy's always been that guy.
Obviously he has to also sell the team.
Yeah, that's what he'll do, but he had to be the man
to lift him through, especially that run
in the playoffs last year with his own energy.
Yeah, they've got the energy and putting his effort
They've also got the nepotism.
They have everything going for the things you need.
That's all you need in the sports yard to succeed.
We'll see if that ends up being true.
Right now, it's not working out for them.
Up against the champs.
Here you see it.
Oh, that champs are on the bottom.
Oxy taking a little into his own hands there and he spotted Ethan as well.
Eventually traded his rest of C9 or playing pretty far back.
He's replaying this without a duelist.
Two out of nine, back away in energy, happy to hold on to aiming for now.
Yeah, the thing is, both it's down.
That is going to favor the defending team.
For sure.
Energy no longer having that dive ability to get into a site.
So if you're energy now, you want to start to think about how you can activate a lurk,
maybe get that aster some space in it.
Find a second avenue of approach to this site.
So you're not just having to send it through main without a dive character.
The
Scooper really hasn't done all too much. Here's that trip over on Street right now, so he knows he can't go into there
That means someone is very likely patrolling art
So we might end up making the decision to go for the 1v1
Be safe if he kills Vic smoke to down losing out on that cosmic divide for quite nine
Oh that knife catching the tailloo only one though. Is it nearly enough tailloo could have been a fake on this side
But again, energy are really winding down the clock
with multiple ultimate available for cloud 9.
This is going to be a big problem.
How do you get out of the choke point without a dualist?
How do you make it happen?
It is not going to happen.
Zepa collecting on two.
That's five down in the open and scoop a little bit too late
to the party through our will go down free again.
Out of Zepa.
I think you've been taught that calling that bit of applause
would be enough to pull one or two of these players off
that a site go back to work through mid, but it just doesn't happen with our chamber
often trips still active, but then it's still comfortable.
It's going to be not a step-in captain without a doctor whatsoever.
It's basically impossible to get through that choke.
Yes, you know, do well there, not to over-rotate or get lost in the quiet and the suspense
of the mid-round, but might have an idea to increase the tempo here, four players
skiered up in mid out of C9 as NRG go for similar ideas on A.
You see, I'll actually walk up, ready to take contact.
I'll to initiate a utility behind him.
You know, ultimately C9 realized there's a lockdown on the other side of things, so
very easily we used to take a control.
The question is, do you see 9-thent threat to break this chart in mid and look for a flight?
Do they look to just come back quickly through art?
It's also kind of a standoff because with tail-alpted players, always that risk factor
of putting down the lockdown.
There is an easy counter.
If you're opponent in a hard anchor, you don't even necessarily have to kill the lock down either
You can just put down the the Taeho Alt as that lock down expires
And you know the enemy team is gonna be trying to come through the choke point
Perfect stall there is again energy to up a whole lot of the clock gear back towards me
There we in bed left towards a so they don't have a lot of options. It would climb like heavy for mid. These rotates will be quick
Nick is gonna
This first indication of some players on this side just to get up close and personal right on the other side of the smoke
hiding from the duo stunned up and taken down the rest of C9 all coming in through street
It's all down for the time being out of fight coming their way and as the shop guards ring down
It's an ultimate taking kill and long
C9 making quick work back into the site and step up again delivers four cloud nine
And our G try to extract themselves some halls all out in
open three again, is it enough? That's the question. And so often, A is not, and
our G get another two rounds for Cloud 9, or Zephyg gets a three gag, and they can't
close it out. That was so close for C9, the ultimate towards LONG was perfect. To catch
Kiko in rotation, he wanted to you back away and have that lockdown in the post
line of things didn't go. He's wedding. But that next line of the energy is perfect. Look at
to win the big swing out here and down the whole three players,
posturing for the fight, knowing that if they hold back,
they're just going to get ran over by utility.
And they win a very important round.
The buy here is weird for Cloud 9.
Kind of has been this way, the whole game for C9,
but a little all over the place.
A whole lot of saves so far.
Penny does have the operator.
It has very forward posting down on B-long.
So that's going to cause his two initiators to rotate
back towards the A site.
See if they get here quickly enough?
But NRG are not going to waste their time at all,
the oxy, in a center of this site with a pucky and shot in the back of the head.
Mata takes a shot for sliding on back.
That's an easy take from NRG.
And again, the lockdown that's available in the post-flight and fake eat it.
This is a very good position for NRG to be.
And C9 have got to move quick.
Just throwing down this lock down the same time to divide,
cuts apart the site, putting a lot of pressure in.
and C9 playing for this is a little bit surprising.
Looking for the half stick here
before the walk down expires and the C9 getting kills,
they might go for a little bit more,
but three players detained it to disaster for cloud nine.
How would the world do they think they had time
for bad blow, what's the floor with them?
A second away from success,
but an engine disaster again for C9.
I want to see just how close that got.
It's really down to the wire.
It's easy picking sur a block after the lock down.
I built it that caulking just a second to bite.
It's the older lock that we saw some of the players hesitate for a moment.
It's so pretty!
Then they went for it, which is not enough time.
It's hard to keep track of everything because there were a couple of C9 players in backside.
I'm fully able to cover, and while Oxy is going to run back into Maine, it's C9 on no pie at all this round.
Let's see what they can do with pennies off in the mix of things and it's heavy sat back in a main energy
Who loved this area?
What is just on astounding mission these pistols
Terran our genus shreds it continues pick is lethal on the bandit
And now on a two on four
Kiko needs to do a little bit extra and won't be their fork for pick is a madman
How are you just reply around?
You lose to a second and just run it down main and look at it out.
I mean it was so close to this utility actually taking down the scene on flyers.
I came at corner but it just beasts instead.
But if I don't work commitment for an RG, they fool red that they could hit him to a side
and still time and options even after seeing three.
They just decide to consume instead of bailing out of that one.
So a little bit of a bounce back from seeing the height and breath of fresh air.
It's truly a lifeline though.
They're gonna have an all-back again for Penny though.
I've gone so I've all-ts.
This is their chance to rebuild this defender half.
Maybe one of the first opportunities for Penny to really play the game with this operator.
And RG.
Getting ready for his side of the map.
Back at your own.
That's an idea, Finn.
for some back one line at a time another to own this double scout set of
prevent RG is brutal to try and off into as the smoke's the ultimate all the
utility just pummeled the site I'll be free for energy you know had players
in position the fun but they couldn't with the utility wow the
nilkman pop they'll have to fight but energy is at the doorstep ready to
hold brox centers here you got canceled out by the canal ult and now the
plash into stuba trying to escape somehow he's still alive oxy creeping back into
the side of stun trying to get in some idea but these smokes are stalling everything.
NRG have escaped with four players alive and now C9 need to play these high lines,
need to find some kills, not going to happen.
When you look at Brock he's going to shut you down and now the shots are just not connecting
NRG.
NRG is playing the C9 at this point, Penny's going to teleport away and hold onto the
up.
This game has been performed by a lot of very slim split-second decisions, and I think
consistently when they're under pressure, we're seeing energy make the right decision.
In previous rounds, it was staying and fighting deep on sight.
Here, it was taking the slim opportunity they actually had to escape and get out to
long and full committing to that.
Right work from the balancing the utility.
and he is
on his words
out from a
and honestly when you think about it, there's a few long fights even going back to the
the ground two where Ethan had a share versus a handle and he's winning out in those fights as well.
I really want to see someone in this lobby by an outlaw because everyone is a half-hormer player here.
here on both teams, because when the big things people were looking at, after champs,
not a lot of teams bought outlaw into NRG, when they've had fun with pretty much every
round. Yeah, NRG or C9 do the same thing, brox the only guy on 50 right now, and NRG,
split up the site, dive on forward. That is a way way with the spike, planting in the pocket
of the wall before treating back to main. And as Oxi falls as well, there's just five
I've led you already the fuse.
I have stick behind the wall.
That is major.
Is that picking you back on this energy
or realizing they have to get back in front of this wall?
There's not a lot of time.
As seen, I lose a member.
Smoke expires, Sepa.
I'm talking to everything.
It has to be Armageddon.
He is ready to cause havoc on this site.
Is that the need to three again?
If seen on one of this rounds,
he's being asked, way too much and three again.
He's not enough.
Three, three, Kays, three losses,
Versepa and Cloud 9.
I know they're hard-breakable,
but it's just a hero way.
But energy, I love this little strat.
We're just going directly into the pocket.
Even though you guys want to,
I think that he's the right golfer's else
is to try and greed the half-stick
for strategy into it.
What should have been an unabented just fight?
But again, the synergy in these team fights
is what's winning it for an RG.
There's an outlaw fondly for scuba, two well against five half armors on C-9.
And RG is starting to clue into that.
It's another heavy midset up at a C-9.
They've really liked the flash over the top.
A hindrance though, it's just two perfect.
Very good control in Gico again for an opener.
Now, as a slide comes through,
Zepra gets a couple of more being shut down.
These other two members of C-9, just not really in the party just yet.
to just yet.
Vada still there.
How's he alive?
How is he alive?
That's a lot of way.
It's just silly, isn't it?
I know, at 311 we take 4Vick, but already being held by an outlaw close.
Should be checkmate.
And it is.
9-2 for NRG.
That is certainly a way to enter 2026.
Better you're actually in middle of so silly.
Both bullets from either team just stunned many 18 columns in their respective corners.
By the time the fight is actually taken, it's a lot of feasting.
I can't believe you got out there out of him before.
Me too. In the care against loud, it was an outrageous amount of moments where
Oxy was getting away with murder with his knee on a wadding round single handedly with that.
Here he has been shut down completely to intend for tonight's start and again the most
scuffed by
First C9
Life spots a couple of players back in a main C9 choose to leave oxy posted up with the judge called three in to art
But C9 have never really found a consistent answer into this a side enough
Maybe it could be this
Maybe to the oxy
Some spam, peppers them down to 33, and he's out.
And our cheer just way too aware of all these corners.
It's actually which walls of spam too, which smokes to take care of.
And it again sets themselves up for a hugely advantage post plan.
An ultimate on-eat thing as well.
It's so brutal for these last few players to get back in.
But I need this round desperately despite the odds.
All the stall utility and there's still more left in the tank.
And time is ticking.
That armor get in waiting in the wings.
Yeah.
Brought just has a little pixel there.
The second season difference in color.
Unload bullets through the wall.
Charges on in with the shorty as well.
Beautiful play from Brock there.
And 10 for NRG in the first.
Yeah.
17 and 5.
For your 2x MVP.
On his return to American soil.
I don't want you to run loops around them.
So cringey, bro. It's actually so cringey, bro.
Self-diagnosed.
Yeah, he's talking about his Odin and Shorty like this.
The Ordinance could have self-awareness.
You reflect on that when we take our half-zone, bro.
Can I help you? So here's the bill from the dealership where I got my car.
And I'd like you to beat it with a better deal
on one of these fun cars.
Not how it works.
Guess you're not as cool as Verizon.
Bringing your AT&T or team mobile bill
for a better deal today.
Well, it was a stunning start here in the first half for NRG leading 10-2 at the half,
rock putting on an absolute masterclass again pick it up right real up
off.
Yeah, this looks like energy of not skipped a beat.
The team fighting was on point in that first half.
The macro is very good and you know what it wasn't.
They were just bailing themselves out of rounds regardless.
So, C9 now in a brutal position.
They're not here on parole and it pisses around that they absolutely have to wait
if they want a chance to come back.
We're seeing 9, I think the biggest thing on their minds is let's send some help to Zeppa.
Man's been trying out there. I think 4 or 3K's?
Something to make it happen. Maybe 5 or 3 or 4?
No, it's been ridiculous.
And only resulting in 2 round wins for cloud 9.
Something about him and these games to get sent out to you, he activates.
Right there.
Okay, I'd be enough this half.
to start things on the pistol where energy of really good information for position
in amane seeing nothing high low set up off of the turret ready to play into art
that comes after a link if utility keep going to the first time he would wrap it up
wrap it up it's two more for Brock it's not a lot there was just still perfect
the hinder coming through is the first layer immediately a deeper stun from Ethan
followed by his missiles, completely traps that it's
players from cloud 9.
I love it too.
Just how how like how much they shrink on the map, right?
You know, it's energy are five to two.
They fully give up B site.
They just got three players hanging out in spawn.
They're so excited to buy guns for the next round.
And something tells me they're going to be able to win a 5-on
to retake and their opponent has no smokes.
Just letting C9 sit with their decision they've made.
The results of their actions for a little bit.
A little surprise not to see Penny hunting a little bit more now.
He's thinking about it.
Yeah, but wait.
Who's up at a clear, but they're not much time to run back and plant that stuff.
They're going to peek for one kill.
They're not even going to peek this deep, I don't think.
Penny does.
As his teammate falls away from him.
that's a good example. We'll get one for going down ultimately a beautiful
pistol round out of energy. And that is even worse because in losing that round,
they don't get a spike down. You would think down the 112 you might want to try
and force this round? Yeah.
Yeah.
That decision becomes a lot tougher to stomach.
That is so grim. They're trying to play to win the round, which is commendable
to be fair, like you kind of need to get a picker to before you get the spike down.
If you want to have a chance with the post, but it does come at the cost of a week
We could chance here and that's something you almost never see,
uh, the round two time out.
Yeah.
And I think it's exactly discussing whether to force or not.
And, well, to do in that direction.
Yeah.
They got to force.
You have to imagine.
Thing is, Amy just had two, two,
and a minute to chat to his team between halves, right?
It makes you think there's something he heard that he just didn't like.
Yeah.
Once skitties worried it.
Not too many chances left here and also not anything to go off of either.
Right? It's not like you can anti-energy to have you off of one round. No
Looking over for a second to the side of energy it reminds me a lot of watching Red Bull home ground where I have a really
Notice he go and I think that's a good thing actually that he is seemingly slotting it very well
They're set up so still running their macros very good. He's at a couple individual rounds. I think back all the way to the first episode where he was paramount with that
to get them that round win.
One day I was surprised when he got a non,
he got a few actually opening kills.
Found a kill joy.
When C9 were running those war aggressive on his contained ideas
where he's just on his own whole thing
or covering a teammates back,
but two or three of those in the first half.
I think the seller said it's in the can't exhibit very good
but he hasn't been greedy in any way to show that.
Very good plug and play for NRG so far.
Of course, if this were to be Red Bull home ground,
then C9 would come back and win this map.
I don't know about that one. We'll see we'd have to start with a win on this scuff to buy for us.
He's in push back just a little bit.
Choosing to allow C9 in.
Make them feel a little bit more comfortable for the time being before going for that swing to bounce.
That's exactly what Kiko's looking for.
Fixed penny down a little bit low, but again art control has been seated.
It's actually not a little bit isolated. Outline hand calls in some reinforcements as Kiko will also go ahead and join him.
The scene I'm really just kind of waiting and hoping that someone on energy is going to take a more forward line, but what it's doing is eating up so much time and a 45 seconds left.
And Oxy with a shotgun, he's on the look.
Maybe he wants to sell a tanker.
Just try to work a large, it's weird.
Yeah, it's a little bit surprising.
The suppression stops dropping out the dart.
There is going to be another layer for that.
And C9 want to move back into Oxy, who just revealed himself.
So now I'll already have ideas energy start to rotate.
We'll stay here with an outlaw though.
Is it turntable?
It's just full awareness out of energy.
C9 tried to get a little bit creative.
I did throw some kind of loop in the Vex, but it's not going to pay off of them whatsoever.
That's a flawless round two and...
...only one player in energy even took damage.
Next one. Oh, oh, oh no, not...
...the issues they wanted to try and call a pivot, but...
...what it was just fair, the entire time he spotted?
Oxy, or the oxy was making his presence, too.
Wow.
And so, this area in position with the help of Timmy to lock the town.
She knows, man!
Every time I show up, somebody's in high.
You're winning 12, too.
I like it.
Hey, you have your little problems that become a little bit bigger.
When you're dominating this hard, understandably so.
He's trying this again, Nick.
You want to eat this?
Oh, God, no.
Well, Chico, there was another opening flag.
And NRG, with the other...
They're disgusting round.
Absolutely, blowing up cloud nine.
Nelson's gets three.
Hold on.
I'm hoping.
Don't hold on too tightly, but a light grip.
He's left the doctor order here and let go.
13 to no domination for the renegades.
That was a brutal game.
Nothing worked for KW9, multiple rounds with 3K's for chances that couldn't close out the close rounds, and in the second energy didn't give them a single close round.
This is what you expect when a world champ comes out.
Yeah, that looks like right in the bike, absolutely simple. Out from NRG, C9, you can't even really feel bad after game like that, you just kind of got stunts.
Oh, it's smokes! You don't work so great, huh?
Tell me about the real inferno down here, and I've heard about here. Try your red book. It's devilishly good red ball
Oh that's a heavenly plate a minute. What's there? Oh, yeah, I forgot about that
Wings, wings. I can't have wings that are my positions red bull gives you wings
Getting my second champion title, definitely meant a lot.
I'd say felt better than the first one.
I just had some of the proof.
It all changed! Are you up to the right?
Whoa! Shafina!
I felt like honestly, I didn't fully like process it in the moment.
But it just didn't feel real in the moment.
Honestly, on the flight home from Paris,
If like replaying on my head, it immediately after winning,
we just thinking, what's next?
The competition was also better.
That's just naturally how it goes over the years.
So, oh good.
Oh, crazy doing it like in my first year.
So this is the next we got from running champs.
Basically, just the trophy that we got,
and at very time, it's got diamonds on the bottom.
We'll bring them down tomorrow.
There's a little sliding thing right here.
That says V25.
Yeah, you can also take off this, that's actually just kind of a part of you make it a bracelet.
You don't feel like, I don't know if you're how I do the whole thing pretty cool.
Obviously, I want to win again.
See, that's another one.
Here's the coach of the World Champions NRG Boncar.
First of all, welcome back to BCT America as the defending world champions.
And that was a very world championship winning team.
Stop, a 13 to use, stealing their map pick of Pearl.
Talk to you, was it just, was it their fault?
Was it your prep?
What was going on?
I think we had a pretty good idea how they playing
general since the play the loud game.
Um, did you start a good map to be honest?
Good first map, good energy, coming in with a lot of confidence,
and just having a lot of fun.
That's a lot going on, too.
And boy, oh boy, did they have fun out there, 13, 2,
trouncing from your world champions.
His cloud nine is left really.
He needs to figure out how they forced that map.
Three, and let's talk about how energy
were able to do that.
Because honestly, it was all about control.
And they were controlling the postplants.
They were controlling the pace of the game.
Murder this was dominant.
Earlier in Egypt, we talked about how it's impossible
to re-get back into these sites when you'd let a team get full control of energy.
They showed us how to do it in master class form the U-til, the support, the Sweden together,
and a lot of these traits were insane.
And this round in particular was so pecticting, new that kale would come in.
They knew that asshole was coming coming.
They had that lockdown from so close to that.
And every single piece of YouTube and all to counted and had intention.
They had everything at counter for the way that they layered that U-til
and we asked her stuck into the pale mind, and then pale myself.
And then just throwing bodies out in those last, like,
10 to 15 seconds to kind of ensure that they get that bomb,
they get that post plan.
Actually, it's insane.
Sorry, I do like this.
They got a 100% post plan, when written,
which is in how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how.
No, that's crazy.
But big shout out to Zepha, 17 and 14.
It looked like he was actually getting along
with his multi-frags sports team.
But it wasn't enough, brok, obviously MVP,
keeping that MVP title, like he caught that from chance.
And he kept going.
But he did phenomenal job too.
Energy, they actually have that double initiator set up
that they used to get a lot of that information
on their sites when they're going into that execute.
And Brock, he actually used that to his best ability,
because he got so many frags off of that.
Well, he did, but he also got frags off of just being that second
kind of entry.
Look at him.
I'm kind of like, yeah.
The utility for a second, dragon.
He was so good at getting those trades and as you can see here on the
pistol, just getting those two picks, it was just so cool.
It's just so good, like it's probably one of the most reliable
sheriffs I think in the entirety of the league.
Every time you see that guy with that gun in his hand, very, very
rarely as he missing those shots, this play as well was just crazy.
To have the wear with all, yeah, he had the support there in the
moment from his KJ put that have the wear with all the push that
after wall like that.
And he's in stand-in.
And he actually brought the Odin back.
A lot of that in control towards art, towards A,
he had that Odin just spamming.
It was just overall really solid game plan from energy.
They didn't even waver at all when it came to C9.
And Brock hits Sobe Util, everything that he's done
is really played a good picture into that,
getting a lot of those kills as well.
You don't see yourself at top right now, man.
I always remember to see a little bit more of that deep fan
tattoo, as you would think.
I heard it coming up the Odin.
Oh yeah, without a doubt, but now let's go ahead and hear what's going on in the cloud nine camp. We have coach Amy standing by ahead of map two.
Here the coach of cloud nine, Amy. Now that is not the way you want your map pick to go 13 to in favor of the closing team.
We're going to there map pick next just moving on from that map. We're moving on to the second map. What is your plan?
And again, we got no photos, it's just play out on game.
That's hope they're not as good on Breeze as they were at on Perel.
Their Utah was really good on Perel, but we felt like we had the right Reads.
Like we knew where they were going, we just couldn't stop it.
So hopefully we can start shooting our guns and stop being spectators.
That's a lot of comedy.
And listen, sometimes it really don't be like,
how we call it up against the world mother flip and champions.
You kind of have to accept that that could very well be a possibility.
But now we're going into Breeze here.
This map has been mixed up and changed around.
But I think it is interesting to energy chose this one, right?
This is a map that we haven't seen for a hot minute.
But yet, energy's like, yeah, we'll go ahead and use it for a
spic of kickoff.
I mean, Breeze is the one of those maps.
Well, you can play for Hoseblin, heavy.
So I'm a little worried after what we saw on Pearl,
going in a breeze, see 90s to have an answer for that this time around.
Yeah, I feel like yesterday when we saw Breeze,
we saw a lot of those aiming controls.
We saw a lot of that mid-control and obviously in this program we saw energy just abusing that on C9
They only counted it a couple times they adapted but it just wasn't quick enough
And so energy they have a lot of that game client under their belt and obviously this is their map. Hey, do they have just such a deep playbook
That's C9 won't be able to counter anytime. I believe so and it's not just about the depth of their playbook
It's that it feels impenetrable really like they have everything accounted for every angle every gap
the what gaps there are no gaps.
Yeah. So when I'm looking at cloud nine,
the wink of the sun here is kind of take over the thing.
We saw when they had that aggression,
they kind of found openings.
They put a stunt or a stop.
Yeah.
Energy has planned, right?
Yeah.
You need to see that continuing over to this map.
And even more.
You know, we actually got to see more of off the holding W.
I'm too excited.
Yeah.
You know, but I think it's so, it's that you're holding W into, you know,
a mod a your holding W into a kicker.
Like, these guys are a HMR shot.
I don't disagree with you.
Well, that is going to do it for our breakdown here, but we have plenty more to come.
Me and the end are going to be catching you guys on the other side of the break.
We'll see you after this.
Well, I think everyone in the audience is going to be helping
just like him he is the energy's breeze is not as ridiculous as their
parole just was we want to see a competitive series which I'll think into
agent side is a pretty crazy composition the lock and you would never see
bridge on the old breeze but it's interesting to think about how he might be
good on the new one a lot of angles and approaches to sites got narrow down
you think of the changes towards a man you look at the elbow and their
ideas where the breeches a little bit more potent.
You can buy that.
We can just have a gotten some buffs in the most
area to sit patched to the width of the sun
and the timing of the flash and I'm just
excited to see what they're cooking.
You're excited to see that.
OK, so even though energy are playing what I kind of
think is kind of the hotness right now.
Double-tool-it-double smokes on this map.
I love the look energy is bringing.
They were looking strong in the last one.
is breached out of what fueled enough to give us the unenetched.
I don't think they need something out of left field.
I think they need a shoot back.
Like, they need a set.
I mean, they were just connected in a lot of rounds
in that last game, like he was saying,
where they did have the reading.
We're in the right spot, but couldn't convert off of it.
Those are the rounds that we can have heartbreakers.
For energy though, thank you saying, I love this comp.
I think it is going to be the medical on this now,
for at least a similar variation with this double-dulous,
and the devil's smokes.
It is so hopefully in terms of the options you have for aggressive play, it is so
suffocating to play against the devil's smokes, whether you're re-taking a site where
you're at a tack or fighting into it.
It's tough.
But Clyde 9, they've got to find the solve if they want to stay in this upper bracket.
Well, maybe Lucky for C9 is they get to start on the attack side first, didn't really
get to play attack on the last map and they're heading in exactly the right direction.
The fight for all goes down.
Nobody really hear from an RG, choose to play full on retake.
Post fronts are a lot easier now after the map changes, especially when you're breach still as full a utility.
A stone of flash can't support well.
Well, a lot of just ran through mid and opened the door, threatening a quick flank that's going to cause C9 to really worry about their back.
As this fight for comes, then stun comes down.
One for one at the start, but C9's got a great position on site.
As Penny walks it down for another, and now Kiko gets into the mix, so get an RG out of nowhere.
I'd skew three for pistol.
You're already seeing on display one of the biggest differences when you're not playing the double smokes in these post-fines.
If you think this one of the earlier plays that we've seen, like yesterday, here on Breeze in America,
the double smokes post-fines would constantly have a cycle of smoke in the middle of sight over for that.
Left angle as well that you see Ethan swimming here, but we just the Viper.
All we don't should have to do was wait for it to drop and then fight in together.
So when he's seen our players just got caught in weird spots that weren't really
complimentary once that Viper wall was down. Yeah, you know, see that had the idea to fight
forward earlier on and round off of the stun, but that was just good for a one-on-one.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Do you got a whole lot more done in that second layer?
So again, tough start to the second map for C9.
Zero, three round pists rounds right now for them. You know, something to track as you go into the second half of this game.
The reason and interesting map to the Viper on a lot of maps you see Viper is almost always just throw down their Viper on attack the start of the round
Because they only have the one smoke agent see nothing to hold on to that one is cute
That's a reaction that's my honest reaction to killing five players the classics with a shotgun. He killed three
Okay, he killed three whole team. You know what me?
Let's not get stuck, but I'm down in the particulars, even solve them through the wall
because there's a dart getting chopped out.
Let's go back to your point around the Viper.
It really does telegraph where you want to finish, it becomes very difficult to hit the other
site without the Viper wall in the composition that energy is running.
They can always default that A wall and be able to rotate back towards B with their
other smokes.
Thankfully, what the B changes, one Viper orb is ten of all to take that.
It's so difficult.
We'll see nine.
We've had seemingly done the same thing with three rounds in a row, except this time
after securing the Europe, slow things down, leaving thick over and mid-petrolling,
to see if there is going to be a forward walk-up.
And what there is, but it's somewhere he can really hold, is he both dualists, post it up
for an RG?
Because judging outmoked, especially become problematic if Cloud9 had this direction.
I love the Yoru on this map, especially on defense for controlling mid.
you can go down into these positions.
Like Mata is in with the freedom to teleport away.
A lot of safety in that.
With Froptop, man, he can easily support either of those duelists.
There's nothing to do with the ones in the hot seat.
Instead of Ethan tagged up having to push back in.
Oh, oh, pal.
You tell him, you tell him somehow we get to away from it.
Quick on the movement.
Now, the few who ping no one is ready for him.
Who is going to take Ethan now?
No one's even looking at him.
No idea you can be back here.
And a headshot from Brock keeps energy with the lead.
And his more players filter in, you realize.
See, I haven't planted this fight, you realize that was kind of stuck back here.
But energy waiting.
That wall will be dropping soon.
It opens up avenues to fight and Vic might be the critical player.
Vic has no gas to play with yet.
See, neither can have one more chance to throw up that wall and get the spike down.
But they're only going to have a few seconds to cross over to default.
And they're still worried about their backs.
And RG is used to take their time if two players on the flank instead
Stepa has to hold this
Scoob is low. I'm not it will be difficult
Is that this been the hero before but it never came down to see nine winning rounds?
Need to a little bit more now
Back to the corner, step-up false now. It's all on Vic and his story repeats itself
a 13 round win for NRG, make it 3-0.
The worst scenario you could have an action for Cloud9.
And energy again, this money won the keys of game 1.
Their patience. They know that their opponent only has that fight for wall available.
So, they can't do this to the game, but they just wait, but they got to that point
because of the excellent work from Ethan.
Yeah. I want to talk about that smokey use to anchor.
going up the one way on the box for the side on beat.
That makes it so difficult for anyone to swing around that right side.
And if anyone's approaching left, you'll think of so much deeper now to actually swing into your weapon.
And despite the you don't pattern they used to try and clear about,
he was still there and still got to.
Good movement from him to dodge away from the breach blasted.
What happened to Snake Bite 2?
Did you have a fun beat for the time being?
Bring to pistols on to the side, teleport back from Ethan,
for Mono, we've Ethan all alone.
But still these darts are problem, causing C9 players to turn their hands.
Not too much of a problem for Ethan, but Brock filters into the space, the second C9.
Feel a little bit more comfortable.
Patients from NRG.
They gear up for the refight through that wall, beautiful work,
and the rest of the game.
It's just for me like at this point.
Wait for Cloud 9 to go for something and
dress it with the breach.
Hold back.
The second, the wall drops.
You fight in together and you have to trade them.
4-0 now.
Not too shabby.
Not too shabby for that, RG.
A lot of people might have predicted C9 before this game,
because they might have been looking at social media
and seeing the boncar was saying he was
up and in first question for you.
Yeah.
It was a 13 to nine months for him right now.
Could energy have won in boncar?
I think they would have won with boncar.
I can step to you.
And you were one of the people who predestined
out here in boncar.
I talk about this star player of boncar.
2023 tier two northern Europe.
Wow.
Out the gut.
Clearly taking so much of that into his day today.
Let me see nine could use them.
He's nine could use a round.
See what they can do.
Here's that pretty free piece of stuff.
The issues of these retakes in already two players flanked.
Yeah, and RG ready for this one.
Mada leaving the charge.
Using the C9 to own wall against the split set.
But what's waiting for it?
And that control is good enough for C9 to get this site.
But Brock still somehow gets a pick on the other side.
I plan to do it.
Here you go.
Slides into the back.
It's a little bit awkward for RG.
She, who's IGL is on the wrong side and that real far away from the
something I already made.
Penny has you chillin' hand.
Kiko catches them out and now Kiko can wait.
Because Ethan is on the prowl.
Not a go.
Kiko just needs more threat.
More attention drawn towards himself.
Hello, Ethan, clear beneath him.
Oh, no, the rolling thunder was that chance from down.
No, what?
Energy can't be doing that.
Not only is he a jacks to go and lose that for next rounds, but they lose the two on to
It's like watching a train wreck just disaster close round upon disaster
I can't believe it either
You're still thinking of the round two time out of these games, if you just felt like the same game because they're going so well.
It makes sense because six or seven rounds ago, there was a cloud nine time out if you go all the way back in time to Pearl right.
Oh boy. Well, now now we'll see nine have a whole slew of new problems.
problems, it's this quick retakes from NRG, it's pressure on the flanks when it's these
beat retakes as well, and it's also Kiko, who's sitting 9-1 on this neon. You thought
he was chilling, thought he was quiet, silent, oh he's sliding in, he's great last map
on the kill, boy. Now he's taken over on the neon.
I don't know the other side. The duelists for C9 have not been able to activate. So much
of your game plan has been around getting into these sights and going for proactive ways
in the post-flint.
He's also stunning up, Penny and Oxie swing, but every time energy is your patience
in the angles that they're holding, waiting for that aggression and Penny and Oxie combines
our four in ten to start this match.
Top start for C9.
Let me talk about needing C9 to sort of shooting back in the interview between games.
I mean, they might need a ten percent of the post-flint aggression and go for more kind of
trap plays as that wall is dropping as energy is pushing, having the stone through the
flash on standby to then swing in instead of trying to pull actively get something
so we tough but some things to look at so trying to have a good
disparate talk to a win.
Yeah it's running up and mid for a chance.
But that shot persa scum play by the way.
Alright but still these spikes means it comes out on top.
Scoop on pinched now.
One player threatens coming in on tunnel.
There's three more back in there.
What can he do?
Watch out!
There's still a chance now for Ethan in the clutch.
But I don't need to not allow it to lose this round.
Oh no, and a Viper speed as well.
Mike played a little more chaos than C9 even won themselves.
He'll be hard for C9 to play together within that.
An opportunity for Ethan.
Silently, approaching to backside, he'll find step-of-first, stars onto the spine.
What have you gone?
There it is!
The NO!
Pick lips in a way!
That was maybe a centimeter from disaster, but this time, Clyde Bling, rather the storm.
You thought right every single break is going at our G's way surely they have it, but finally C-9 can
Stop this forward advance. Oh, how close he is here. It's the cross down the key at quite wrangle the spray in time boys. Let's go, big
So a bit of life injected back four cloud night
C9, life just going into mid quickly again, it's oxy, you're taking that a 5-HP.
So low already.
But he's just left to kind of work them up himself right now as the rest of his team
has eyes around this pit in Maine.
It looks to split back towards his A site.
around, right? Like, see night have these embeds in mid, but energy haven't really done anything about it.
There's giving it up entirely. They re-drone puts him pressure, but what if I send him more resources?
And like that orb constantly cycling.
Yeah, that one way is really annoying to try and get through.
Yeah, you either go into the one way or you go into a Viper Spit splitting a is so difficult.
So maybe now Cloud9 think about what can they do?
What can they do?
Can you paint some work?
Can you pull players back?
Well, now they're losing info.
Yeah.
The replay from modda.
Scouting ult.
Intimate.
Only sees the one player.
You less effective than modda was hoping for.
We'll have to escape away.
Didn't have a teleport.
People'll back on either.
So now.
A hunter's fury.
Just pulverizes oxy and main.
A beautiful angle.
The rock is working.
The main.
But they still ask her and vibrate on here.
Yeah.
There's also a neon on the way.
There's a hunter's fury that's seen on her.
Why do you use to find a way into the site?
But it's a mess!
It is a mess!
You've still got Penny, what are you looking around him, Mid?
See, no, it froze in the mid-round.
And never found the correct answer.
The whole round, they wanted to end that into an ace, but the Viper War, cycling, though,
dissuaded them.
And the timing on that reek there from the bottom was so good, popping the Alt back into
mid.
Infotuals left and in realizing the rotation was coming that's a prime the two anchors to ready on site and for Brock to rip that hunter's theory
As soon as Oxies dead taking the
With such little time basically becomes impossible. Yeah, because then all the anchors they don't have to look at tunnel anymore
You've got three players on the just focused on main
No matter how good the attacking side is gonna be
Nine times out of ten you're getting mode down in that spot. So maybe you simplify and just send it a
Maybe it's not always so simple because there's walls. There's mawies. There's players already here, oxy stole out for a moment.
Let's see nine have the TP ready to go.
If they want it.
Again taking their time.
Now try to look for something stupid.
In the blink of an eye from Scoobah.
And Vick said packing.
No chance to play for.
You know Scoobah is hungry for it.
You know the rest of NRG is trying to set him up for,
block jumping around.
The human drone walks in.
Scoobah waits and taking it down.
The A-surped away.
You can't just turn in chance for Vic now guys.
I'm getting your code.
Would it make any sense?
No.
Is there chance to win this run at the spike out in the middle of the day?
Okay.
They all can't.
I don't think Vic cares guys.
It's really sad.
He's lost touch.
Yeah, he's just gonna save this round.
Boy, that was brutal.
drone saw, scoop a going into that corner initially.
But I think they thought he walked back out in the interim.
Now he just stuck around,
sticky to that corner, picked the perfect timing to swing.
It feels like there's been too many times energy
of gotten players in positions that see I just think are clear.
Look at Ethan back side B.
Back to the start of this game.
And there's even despite that, that should have been the AB2 kills.
All these initial ones, but the flash all of just the little pieces
the timing, the positioning, everything went his way.
It's cheering it on.
God, I love it.
With the energy jersey.
Scuba, Stoic is always.
An in-person hate watch, that's the next level.
Well, see now they're going to call their second time out over the half year.
Formal rounds trying to put something together.
Yeah.
I don't even have a good question to ask you because I...
I...
I don't want to put you in the position that Amy is in right now.
I don't think he likes the position he's in. He looks stressed.
No.
Angry?
I wouldn't be surprised if he's already drying up like the the the skirm plan for next week.
He was like, it's going to have to have to have some paperwork.
That's what's got to be wise.
I mean, the money is botched in the next round for C9.
So if anything's going to happen,
please come to the rounds after this.
But so when we looked at NRG,
a team that just came off winning champs,
the big things for them was that they massive the game.
So master cope.
That is one of them.
That's the biggest thing.
I'm sorry.
They were like the forefront team of the new meta.
the changes to the game of corrode's introduction and I think on the keys for them heading
into state 1226, what's being great on Breeze?
They're looking to prove that right now.
Already up seven one.
Yeah, because everyone's going to be banning the corrode, just by everyone, you would imagine.
And people might need to start considering their parole, their breeze, every other
map in the pool.
Might need to consider better walk in the bracket.
Yeah, that's a big one, the consider.
I think you're just better luck in general.
See, I haven't really found any of it so far in this game.
Because another thing that I think really just destroyed this
Aparcy Nine is that round they lost over on B.
We're both penny and zealousus used the olds.
They're two biggest tools on the map, right?
And because these rounds are so warped sighted, right?
Like, see, nine are getting so few kills consistently
that those two players are still halfway across from getting those
ults back online.
That's no ball just in full effect now.
And I see that I've seen many times in our G. Upper Man playing back.
30-wading left as quite my hope for an opportunity.
If you just have a shot, and that is...
I'm lucky to save Elise.
one. And we're off-grade to deliver some more bad news to C9.
It's coming soon. It's Ethan once more for the IGL.
Casual 4K. Eight more now.
I'm really like tell you approach those angles there, nice control, out for me, but this is the round I'm looking at. If seen I never going to have a chance in this game, it is time to show up.
They've gone for these fast mid rounds with a stone towards Neston, obviously running
up before this one, a little bit more temperate to start, but now they activate.
It's a Sunday hits both Neston and also the walk down from tunnel into Albo, very effective
at around opening.
It's given C9 a lot.
Still though, they're so heavy and mid that breaking through a main is going to be top
So it might be a forward mission a little jump up now from oxy rock waiting for it
Takes away
thirsty for more flags and look at this walk-up even is just been
On a promenade well
Sentinel gives him opportunities and Ethan is certainly gonna be
Beneficiary of those
It's been a little one-back A-Main, it's caught in the line rotate in, when the best chances
they've had in a three-on-three.
Oh, but his elses is kind of a loan.
Look at C9, they've got a player in mid, you've got a pick going on a mission, but it's
ten of his pawn.
For back sight.
Penny needs to do something you want to shoot the clone, past a TPO-A.
Back into double doors now, and now's not the dimensional drift, and if you need to
just tear the round, there's a stun, trance set up this fight, Penny.
Get some burst of buttons out of bullets and take them down to it's still a 2-1-2.
Or rather, 3-1-3.
I tell a lie, the HUD is broken, it's a 2-1-2.
Yep.
Everybody walk in!
Vick is locked in!
I think that's a time.
Basically, call on it this time.
No.
That's it.
That's around for C9.
I think he's going to be a little bit of an energy that's been so disciplined today,
playing in spawn with their own numbers. You're like, I don't know, little greedy, I think.
This way, out from Brock, after the day we're sure to kill Kiko, Kiko, he's going to be
a little bit more powerful than he's going to be, and he's going to be a little bit more
powerful than he's going to be. He's going to be a little bit more powerful than he's going to be.
to be a shorty kill, Kiko hard committing to the fight top mid.
So Doris been open.
How far in can they get with that?
Well, I'm interested in now is Kiko going for the operator again, poking down into
mid, getting in front of the stun, a lot of just full sprints through that one.
See that I have ideas to split into this B-site, Penny, cutting back down into and trying
to get some scouting, but does not actually spot water.
This flight time could be so good.
And this is awkward too.
Pulling out of the dimensional trip walking ten walks
and down with the push through mid as well,
C9.
Have a good night.
You can see that's a big dead.
They have no smokes, and they're still on out of Maine.
Those are teleport being set up.
Better it's you're gonna have three bodies here.
They have still got the operator as well.
No smokes, no dive.
How the hell do you get passing off?
Well, maybe it starts missing.
I've also tucked into the corner.
Let's see how many more shots connect.
I need some more health, but it's not going to be there.
And just after seeing Hine,
when around,
it is just shut out immediately. That was quick.
Big credit to Mata.
That fast timing on the flank was excellent.
Hard reading that, with a dimensional drifty flight,
it's likely to be a harder execute from Cloud 9.
I'm not going to get a pick, but kill this mocks.
I just styled on Penny, bro.
He's up.
It's true. Back to background.
Donates nest.
So one round left in the half, four, cloud nine.
Trying to string something together, and energy.
Set up front.
They don't like towards aiming.
Across fire, with bait from the neon.
There's a rolling thunder, but they're in front of it and our gear actually in front of the rolling thunder right now
What else was looking for first kill goes to mod a
And the stall is still there scum a trying to
Extricate himself from that position
And Xelsus still had not pulled the trigger on the ult at least they still have it to re-exact
But now without oxy
Well, I've heard the capital eyes off of it now
He walks back into the corner as he in front of it again.
No, pushed up Goeski, goin' he still gets one now.
It is ridiculous and Scoob has well once more.
He's not slowing down either.
He's going on a mission.
Full pressure on C9, no run, nowhere to hide.
And our G will take another 10-2 half.
I'm disgusted by what's happening.
It's ridiculous.
They just laugh at it off.
It's actual, it's like four players in that corner at some point this round.
And I think every one of them got at least a kill.
Brutal stuff.
Ten to two.
Cloud 9.
Scampor into the second half after this.
These work can mimic brands coming together to create a series of products for these
sports for the biggest stages.
The competition is to keep the keywords out of it.
The latest song, the song, the song, the song, the music, the beat, and the beat.
The beat of the song and the beat of the song, the music, and the beat of the song.
We hope that the song will be the best song for the first time.
We hope that the first time we've ever been together.
The best thing to see for this NRG team coming off of that champs when coming off losing.
So I'm keep going into those shoes and now it's the 15 and 5 on the neonies looked great.
And on the children last map you will sell or two.
Yeah, I think for the promise is keep coming over, was it a good slot into this secondary
do as well when they need it.
Not looking sorry secondary in this map.
15 and probably like you say
and he is having a great performance.
And I think there's no better way to just show
up to a new region with a new team.
The world chips.
No less since perform like this.
Just three rounds away from putting cloud nine to bed.
And energy is pistol rounds have been perfection today so far as well.
Currently heading into
Biggest territory
And our G looking to set up shop here very comfortably in the post and unlike the solo controller
Compe that see noings running energy will constantly have smokes to recycle in this post which allow you to do more forward fights as well
Deep smokes and a deep push as well check this out all the way underneath bridge is
Mada pushing back into sponge shut out by Vic this forward fight going horribly wrong as make lights up to kill feed
And our G are getting a little bit funky, but fit for four, once you
nice first pistol. The bright spot for cloud nine map one was Zepa and
he mapped to your eight could be Vic. A couple rounds of multi kills in the
first half. It's a 4k here to start punishing this aggression, some real
Thanks for coming.
Go big, big, take us home, take us home.
And you know, it's just gonna fuel the clothes off of winning that round.
What I want to know is what it means by take us home.
Is that like, when this is math and then when the next one's, we go home and we win or stop killing them so you don't know.
I'm gonna guess the prior of it.
I suppose it's up to interpretation.
It's the one that takes the longest.
That's the longest road forward for Cloud 9.
The 10 more rounds in this map to have a shot.
Good map.
I'll show them.
Quick on the draw.
See mine, have an idea to fight all the way to the top.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to know where it is else this is trying to go for the stun just reactive right now.
It basically just want to give up either of these sites and then very quickly rotate through man.
Yeah, you still have to find it out. Sometimes like there's something old map.
I didn't really expect people to do it as much after the changes, but here we are with a little forward fight.
I'll see as well through the box, not shot away from that fight.
Free for him and see that in, spring to and around.
It's just eco-pregs, but I think he needed that.
Two kills map one. It was a brutal start.
Here on map two as well.
We're getting four kills and not first half.
I get a couple, add it on to the tally here.
Oh, my God. Nice.
Let's go, all around.
I got the shot.
And there's nothing else. Even if they're getting stoned,
you give Klan on the ground and they'll give this a energy back.
Just to love to see the boys up there having fun.
Let's see how long the fun lasts though.
Yeah, this is the testing round. Can they get a bonus themselves?
I don't think she's wanted two of them today.
I'm probably need this to make it on a skill of things.
So far, energy or waiting to see where that forward play is going to be, but I like how
C9 have set up and made it again.
It's very nice, all-fangles, complimentary angles, and holding onto that blue stun, ready.
The second player sees with body.
Keep your head just fain's the door, stay rotate back towards it.
This kind of heavy mid-fighting cloud-9 is doing the practically always replaying for the
retake, but their compass suited for it, the double-doll is in the breach.
And in a lot of ways, this becomes a repeated pistol round.
There, I don't see forward fought, got cut down completely.
How do they approach you to this time?
Looks to be somewhat more reserved, still a fight on the left side is a lot of talks
himself right against these double doors.
I think I can't let you want to be the one taking the forward fights, and I like it.
Not often you see this another smoke goes down giving a pocket to work into oxy reads them like a book
It gets the first kill in this round still another to us lodged in fact site. Chico
Peppered by utility
Tucks himself in dodges the flash but taking out once more. See nine
How do the pieces to make it real go at this round and they're gonna continue to come up heads on them as a smoke goes down
Oxy before
See nineering this game
The bonus they needed.
Oxygen so much that round.
Through the edge of the smoke,
catches just a glimpse of Montez he was fighting up.
Take that kill.
Don't you know if his teammates
are full clear back sight,
and then has your awareness to be ready
for Ethan to reply.
If Ethan lives there,
not only does he have a whole game,
we're good.
But he also has a second layer of pressure
to win that post-flime.
First energy time out of today.
Yeah, I mean, why would they have
toned out map one or the first half?
I see nine. I don't know.
Yeah, for fun.
I stand after winning one.
So, boncar can sell himself in.
You like to be a chance, guys.
It's like time to shine.
Well, it's his time in this time out.
Shat with the team.
I guess this is going to be a half approach
to some of these post-plants.
Maybe looking to change up
how they're doing things every day. That's how they've lost the two rounds that they
really had a chance in. Yeah, I mean, for a staff, I think there's also an element of
realizing there's nobody been on a and see, there's no way they're playing five players
on a. We need to probably get some idea of how they're holding on to dismiss this.
And then I'm seeing some of the mid-fighting, but I don't think they'd yet realize how heavy
it is. Yeah, honestly, on around like this energy you're heading in, it's going to be an eco
for them. Sometimes life to see teams on the eco just go on more fact-finding missions, try to
to figure out what that people look is going to be in mid.
It's been a better understanding of how to break that heading in the future rounds,
because right now they don't really have much to work off of all things considered
as they just keep running it in the day over and over again.
Or counterpoint you know, A is completely clear.
You're going to be able to get a plant.
Let's flip the round and see if we can win a post.
That's the play if you want to try and win the round.
But, uh,
all it's not looks so good.
It's a bucket of all things in Kito's hands.
I think it's that knee on a bit.
recycling smokes a bucket can get scary.
That's right.
Taking advantage of the fact that they're not
expecting to run into too much resistance on this side.
Penny will teleport away hearing those footsteps go
forward again and energy overwhelmed the site again.
They get forward.
Thanks largely to that smoke on your screen.
There's so much space to be taken.
And now the slide four for the drone one for one at the start.
But still, it's three classics in NRG's inventory.
Hard to make you go at much more of this,
this is Oxie's running circles around 360.
On that one, and NRG will be cut down.
One by one, and even after a pre-poss, the rest of NRG will fall.
See nine within by four.
The approach on these re-takes is looking good from CloudDine,
Like very patient.
And having all sorts of tools to break out.
The other one is just the best thing to easily win an anti-Echo.
When you're pulling in to have sheriffs, it's so hard to hit a guy like oxy before he's going to be able to get that laser on your head.
So, okay, gap down to four.
But now we get to see what energy learned. They're on a rifle round now.
And are they just going to run it back four times the charm on the A-Post plant?
The thing is it's a little different at a C-9 though.
Zelsis is playing up on A trying to set up pennies operator.
Maybe a forward stun to take this line.
That's exactly what it is.
What a shot!
Pick some right out of the air.
Look like he was there already.
Licks in time.
And it's still energy on this site.
to use the
you are tools to fight 40 is so quick with it
picks up his head right off
so it's desperate for energy three on five and
caught nine again just by their time to play the set
retake up in numbers
modna right up on orange
needs to pull up something
and now the rest of C9, come on through.
What a beautiful round, pennies operator.
Looking untouchable.
This game has come from what it tends it to,
to now feeling like we've just computed the same round
four times in a row.
And suddenly cloud nine is within touching distance.
Wow.
Credit to pennies here. These shots were just lovely.
They're all flaky. They're all quick
to lick into all perfectly accurate.
For such a flexible player, he is.
Whether it's playing the Viper,
so he went to the duelist,
rightfully,
he's really shown it all.
They're at his tenure,
despite having so few opportunities.
Since he's really nice on V1,
to actually show what he's got on a tier 1 team.
So I know you back to well.
Amen again.
If they practice their BXX, I'm not even sure.
They're still running through the A playbook, and now a very deep fipers pet.
Not every A, C, something like this.
Big toe, just moan down, because where else could he be playing?
Two simple provided figure that one out.
Not the Cosmic Invite, getting so much more space than RG.
A wrinkle of this room is the late flank.
Skuba, waiting in mid.
Hearing oxies put steps.
to be in.
Yeah, scuba waiting for it, scuba
on the right side wall heard that door open, but
didn't know maybe, but there could be another player moving in.
He's in the whole bank.
He's in down, but there's another backup layer.
Rock shuts it down now, Penny.
not planted for him, though.
Zepa has an opportunity here.
If you win this fight on this side,
the wall not gonna happen.
Is that our G in another?
No time.
The clock is working against them.
Zepa will play for an exit.
We'll get his and run on out there.
But energy finally stopped the drought.
They've got to change the definition of stupidity.
Because the energy on yet another hard-a-in hit make it work.
This time down.
It's the definition of insanity, maybe.
I'm the same thing over and over again.
Well, maybe I.
I think they should have stood pretty odd on my team.
The wrinkle though, he's having that red flank in the lurk.
Flashing I thought with the conspning divide up,
they could make noise for oxy pushing through and still be unnoticed on that flank.
But with a lurker there to cut a player down,
make that re-take so much more difficult without that initiator utility.
Set him up in insurance at the end of the round.
Once more to the fray, this time though, Mata, using his initial drift through mid.
And that's gonna mean that Celsius can't take out any utilities too.
Cauchess Ethan, following that you're who sets up beautifully and pinching back into the operator.
It's a really nice call of round out of Ethan.
100% on top of it as well.
She's going to climb off of that too.
I mean every single piece of the puzzle is coming together now for an RG.
the late lurks as well finally cooked away out of the scene I work back in here.
There's so much fun of a flank as the door opens, a Viper's pit too.
Penny trying to scout out for his team.
If anyone's gonna make it happen, Tim on the recon mission, but how is he pulls away?
And more utility comes down, his fake foes, and the rest of the team too.
And RG advanced a map point.
So when are you going to hear about the cool moon game mode all
wind and one side?
Didn't have a chance to play it?
So don't maybe run it in an official.
Just go away every time.
That's actually what happens.
Yeah, the B side of that is blocked off of them.
Physically can't go there.
It seems.
I expected a client just doesn't show it.
But what's crazy is the more C9 started playing to hold this
A site, the worse it's been going for them.
Yes.
We knew it was just the 505 lead takes, everything was, was Andy there, five round wins in a row.
And now it's, instead of just a hard hit into a main, have you played for mid?
Yeah.
On the overall, NRG saw a little more information here last time, trying to work off that for a fight.
That's time it's for the door, traded out instantly, and Oxi in the corner!
He needs a little bit more, he's looking for it. He's hunting, and he's good for it too.
Shut the down completely and get blocked.
He's barred to one on two.
Still forced to recover the spike.
As a swing comes in, Zeppa.
Absolutely fearless.
Fixed as it's not over just yet.
What great warm from Oxie.
He had an absolutely brutal start to this series.
The first map and a half practically nothing going for him.
And now he shows up,
something incredible movement.
Nice boys, let's go.
What is this by for wall?
See nine reinventing the wheel and none of the exactly the wrong round because NRG got the role of the B site in all random one site.
Penny here and supple covering his back.
It's a little bit awkward just sending Kiko into his death and RG.
The idea seems unclear to me at present moment as Oxie just sprinting through a main
or running an RG down.
That is this round.
That's going to try to be something to work again, but of course, Kiko isn't he can
with a 1v5.
We just watch that all back again.
Yeah, please.
It starts with just the knee on being sent in to be pretty much alone, except for catches him.
And then Oxie, well that's going on, pushes through the flight kills the mid-locar, and from there it just crumbles.
That's going to be what I'm going to need to check out in the body again and find, put together the plan that NRG was running.
Kind of do, of course now.
This is getting close.
Yeah, and NRG are choosing to save here.
Yeah, that buy is not good.
If thinking any trying to walk it into the,
these putting some present here with Jockeys,
happy to receive good one on the object theory too.
That is insult to injury.
Seems like after playing so many rounds as a collective energy in this
separate approach has not paid out by any means.
See if Kiko could do anything on this bucket sliding forward off his stunts good for it. That's a gun to be picked up as well
He's going in for more. No, he asked to win this round for his new team. So aggressive in front of the flash to see the clue pass them
So patience
There he is. We're going about the flank as well with the lasers from downtown
We're moving any real chance in this round
Scuba, pedaling a sheriff, not too concerned about the spy scuba, has time on
He's on his side.
Has plenty of time to make it.
I've been stupid to live as a fatal blow to see
Nye's the rebel clutch.
And that's it.
A brutal T-0 victory against his final
length squad, the world champs returned with A-bended
dungeons and the way they finish this.
Love a little ego win at the very bitter end out of
the rest of that RG, the second map looked a whole lot closer, but honestly at RG delivered
coming back bouncing back in a big way to 2026.
Big hearing out finally how to make that A-side work.
I'm hoping that I'm some more interesting amounts to close it.
The team led the so-on point for this squad.
I think answering a lot of the questions being a former champ, coming into this year.
I think it's a good one, Breeze.
Looks solid.
That the integrated kick go out.
They're the first looks.
Seeing so he bites so well, Matthew on that knee on.
Yeah, this energy team, a true force to be reckoned with.
He was a new man in the squad and RG have looked very good.
Pactorita as well, fighting support.
To the energy boys up there on the stage, starting there here up in the right way.
I mean, the beginning of this map
in particular, you think about this round
from Stu, which is playing in the pocket
if you highlight moments of sub-tilt.
Stu, I'd quite a few of them throughout this series.
Think pretty much everyone in our G-Coffat chance
to be the hero.
We're caught down now that head down
to the middle bracket.
It's certainly an enviable position.
Sometimes you get the draw of the champions.
Good news for them in the middle bracket.
They probably don't have to play on our G for a while.
Yeah.
So in one way, they got the nasty game out of the way early on.
We're about some other opponents before.
We'll try to re-match down the line.
This is the way it closed out.
Scoop, which is playing that clutch to perfection,
a 2-0 for the reigning champs in NRG,
and a great showing to kick the roll.
It really was.
And I like a lot of the comps they showed.
I think they approached it.
They ran on for each.
is going to be pretty popular. The double smokes double up to Willis, not only is it
good in theory, but I think in practice, in terms of their roles it just makes so much sense.
There's two smoke players have so much freedom and then Kiko, alongside Mata, went absolutely crazy.
But we want to hear more from him. The new member of Energy, he's standing by with Liz,
for your Verizon post-match interview.
Thank you so much, Mimi, and are coming in, Kiko, a wonderful VZT America's welcome.
I don't think anything about welcome to BCT Miracles and damn what a way to do it,
Kiko. I mean that first nap 13 to stealing their map pick away from them. I talked to
Monkart, he said I think we're just having a good game of going in confident, going in
with the vibes. What is your beat on that? How does you think you did, how was Pearl
like able to go your way? I think that the boys of NG, when we went to the official,
it was like a different so vibe and I think their experience like winning champs and everything
like that. It was super confident with everything we did,
So, it was super fun.
Would you say if it didn't arrive from excrims to, yeah, in a way?
Um, I think just like the experience and the calm
was a super calm and like, situation,
we played it like perfectly for me.
Do you feel like when you came to an energy you had to adjust to that style?
Or did you kind of feel like it was something you were naturally felt?
It definitely wasn't adjustment at first.
It was hard, but I think I'm going more used to it
and I'm thinking, so yeah, it was good.
I mean, you killed it out there.
Guys, I saw you, can you give it a cheer for it to keep it one more time?
I know it's the middle of the interview,
but it's such a pleasure to watch you.
Thank you.
On stage, I want to ask you,
we're during our interview with Ethan.
He said you're the best A-Morning E-M-E-A.
I'm gonna get your read on that,
but also, I would like to know,
where do you see yourself in kind of the NA-A-Morne squad?
Do you think you were one of the best A-Morne's here?
I'm also on that.
They make me play some freaky guns, man.
I'm not sure.
I'm playing like, Judge Stinger.
I don't play that much before, but, yeah, no, it's fun.
I mean, I can't really write myself.
That's okay.
That's something else I want to ask you.
You just played against Penny, who was once upon a time,
something in routine liquid.
Did that help at all knowing his tendencies, his fundees?
I was excited to play here in my message,
I was like, I'm downloading, oh, your place.
I'm going to read you like a book, everything like this.
But I was just funny because I have a lot of fun playing with him.
Well, I guys, give it up and keep it one more time.
I keep on cheering for a minute.
It's still amazing how many pieces of camera.
Because sitting right there, we're going to go to break.
This we have M.I.B.R. versus N.V. Next.
The human body was built to move.
Not corrupted, Jess.
In one single posture, for 12 hours a day.
It's time, you're checkin' you fall.
This is Secret Lab, type one evil.
I'll get on with the enemy to figure.
Gang, I read one piece.
I'll just...
I'll give you every move.
You're fully bundled up on sight and batting as massive as me tear them apart from challengers to
Ascension to America's will take their first series, a delight.
Yeah, I'm familiar with how new they have extra E-plays yard and only yard so that's gonna be fun to play against.
You can find you at any time when you're supposed to be able to, X-Trust right in front of it, X-Trust, come for war.
They have a very unique and aggressive play style that I think will be very fun to play against on the net.
I mean, obviously, people are saying, I'm,
oh, I was thinking I'm gonna be our winner, I mean.
I know we have heavy hitters, but for us,
we have Casney, we have Peg,
and obviously, I believe that we can win.
We'll find out in C, right?
Just like the EG game, we'll find out in C.
And indeed, we will welcome back to Day 3 of Kickoff,
and our second match of the day
is gonna be a good one, a banger, if you will.
will. It might be our facing off against M.V. Goldmore here along the side.
Dessie got Emily in a theme. We're going to break it all down.
Let's get some quick reactions on that energy performance. Emily,
absolutely dominating, showing from our world champion.
Even though C-Mot shows some sides of the light toward the end.
They definitely tried to bring it back, but it just wasn't enough. And we saw it ended
with a 3K on that D-Bull, right? And so what a way to close on a map, too.
That won't be good. But no, we definitely saw them have signs of light.
I want to point out that we've mentioned before about the postplants that we would be seeing,
especially going in a map one, I just did it to go be that strong and that I'm very good.
Now, it was crazy strong, but the actual crazy thing is the rounds that energy did start
to lose a little bit, see that had a phenomenal week, and they're really good at doing those early
round fights to deny just any of that post-hats in the relationship. Even though they're getting
out to sight really well, but really, really well played from energy, every single player had some
to start play around too, which was crazy.
So so many multi kills and everything was like,
looking super flat for them.
Oh, without a doubt, but of course,
let's go ahead and move on though to our next matchup.
Because NV's first match got off to a little bit
of a rough start right now.
They have two subs coming into this one, right?
And one of them actually just arrived that day.
And then had just landed, we saw him literally
taking his pictures in the office in the studio.
So, you know, they were dealing with a little bit
the last minute thing here, but I've been said, Athena,
what we did get was an NB squad that fixed up some mistakes.
He came out strong.
Yeah, they definitely started off a little bit slower in that first
map, but everything else looked insane.
We saw extra come online with that URL.
We saw a lot of really good mid-round plays and a lot of
many sure that they're getting that information delivered to their
IGL. You do they couldn't quite keep up.
felt like the firepower was super heavily
lopsided towards them.
Yeah, and they were just willing to fight everything.
And they're trade to orders on point.
Like I never saw a moment where they were in a group fight.
And they were kind of coming out of the hall.
They had really good double swings.
It felt like it was that important.
And they were so fast.
I want to play.
I want to give Trudy to that for extra,
because of the your TPs that he had,
he's always so quick to get there.
And Rossi, huge props to him, because he really
felt like a clean-up crew.
Yeah.
able to anchor sides would also be the one
like the third entry pass,
Kezner, to kind of finish the rest of the kills.
And he got to be the same moment.
Yeah, Tall Tassler being asked from these two substitutes,
and they came in, and they looked good in the process here.
But as we look at the core of the NVT,
one of those members in Spire had an opportunity to catch up
with Elizabeth early round today.
Now, inspired congratulations on your first win
of ECT America.
Because we know that you have had time to kind of cool down from it.
You're going to be facing a super team of MIBR.
be armed. What is your strategy going into that end? Can we expect you to do what a
trash talk like we saw on stage? I feel like our team has nothing to lose.
You know, we're coming up from a session. We know like we earn our spot here. So playing
them more for me mentally or maybe partying is like, it's just a gauge of how good we are.
We put in a lot of work. We got the win yesterday. Okay. Like we deserve to be here. Now,
like how far coming really take it and like beating them will like toss a lot.
The trash talk.
That was more for like defending my teammates.
You know, the sky's standing up.
I got a yellow back at them when I get around,
you know, I'm going to type to like talk,
whether I'm losing or winning,
but like I'm not going to have to start it.
If they only yell, y'all, y'all back.
Well, let's do it. That's the look.
Now, I think it's really important to note here
that my boy, baby, J, as a matter of fact, not inspire.
Maybe Jay comes from Halo and over in the world of Halo,
where I'm from, we talk a lot of crap.
OK, it's kind of our whole bread and butter.
So it's not all that shocking to see,
inspire going out there, making risky plays.
But also, Len is opponents, no, that he's here.
And then he's going to make his presence felt in the server.
For sure, and I really love that interview.
He was talking about how he had that mentality of nothing to lose.
They know they deserve to be here.
Actually, for MIBR, it's a lot more to lose.
So they kind of have that super explosive,
just try to play our game, try to get on site,
try to get those kills.
We don't really care who we're facing,
because at this point,
every single person is supposed to be better than us.
We are the underdog.
And that mentality I can place a huge frame to it.
Yeah, and especially with Inspire,
the bold place that I was seeing out of him,
like we saw in that bureau there,
is him just being on top site.
We really felt like he was kind of
to find the unspoken rules about it.
You know, when you're kind of playing retake on a site,
you go at one and you fall off.
Yeah.
This guy wouldn't get one.
And then jump on top of the site and peek over
his bipolar to go from work.
They like it never ending.
Yeah, his stats were crazy.
He was holding it down.
We talked a lot about being a Sentinel.
I'm holding down that site.
He was a controller holding down the site almost
every single time.
As that Viper and his really insane seeing him play
around with his Utah.
Now, of course, the IGL popping did struggle a little bit
in that series.
You know, and he admitted as such as, well,
this is actually what he had to say
in our Verizon post-match interview.
I mean for me, there's no doubt in my mind, we'll be the best team if I show up.
Like we're in the 4v5, B&EG, I mean hold up, wait a minute.
And we're playing Klywa.
I mean all my teammates are the best in their role, just absolutely dominating and if
we can keep this version of envy and maybe a little bit more, we're going to be any
a lot of confidence there from pop and
and you're gonna need it, buddy.
Because well, and the bad is to pass that first tests on the America stage,
there's been some strikes at the final boss.
Because this next match is gonna be against Osmos and is newly formed team of Titans.
And my VR Emily this squad looks scary.
I just second and Osmos.
I'm the same team.
Yeah, I mean.
Oh God.
I'm the same team.
Yeah, I mean, even having the original,
I think it was the love trio of Texan, Azino, and Osbas.
Like this whole squad has chemistry already.
And I think that, I'll talk with a broad firecrack
that they have going into it, isn't saying,
I don't need question for me.
Is that we have two dualist players.
We have two, and we have one central.
Who is going to be playing?
What? I don't know, who's going to kind of swap off their roles
and have to pick up a brand new one.
And will that have any effect on this supposed super team
going into their first match.
Yeah, you think that's going to really play a fact into their playbook, especially because
you want to have that fight for that fracking potential.
You're going to see a lot of these players going for those hero plays because they do have
that dualist mindset, like you said, as well as that winning mindset.
But as you can see here, Zekin, Mesuno, and Touch, joining this squad, it's going to make
it really round about stand out players.
Every single one of these players is really good at their roles that they do play.
But again, like you said,
I mean, what exactly are their roles?
Yeah, they're good at the roles
that they were playing in their previous game.
But now, you know, they're kind of all getting mixed
around and switched up, which I think
is certainly going to create a lot of question marks.
And I think the other thing too, Emily,
you got a team of this, this amount of prolific players.
It's a lot of pressure that's also being mounted
on these guys, too, because this is another big,
a spa's experiment built around him.
Yeah, I mean, especially coming in from a fan,
They all want to see these individual players succeed
and putting them together like this.
It does give them a lot of pressure,
but with the experience behind them
and already being like those star players
having lived through having those highs,
expectations, place on them, and previously,
students, I think they'll be fine.
Okay, but we gotta talk about it.
We gotta talk about that with Aaron.
What's that?
Superteens.
That's what I'm talking about.
Actually, you should see the point out there.
Let us know in the chat right now.
Superteens.
That might be our Superteen.
Yay, or nay, yes, or no.
Let it snow because we're going to show the results here
as we talk about it.
And the reason why is because Shopify
rebellions Alexis, who I'm sure you both
were very familiar with competing against had some thoughts.
And one of those was that M.I.B.R. is going to be a flop
in 2020, said, you know what, I kind of get it.
I kind of got a person, I don't think so.
But I kind of get it because Superteams always do tend to flop.
I feel like we've seen so many iterations of Superteams
coming on to the stage on B2T.
And every single time that feels kind of like an ego war,
like there are players that want to go for a lot of this
game for us.
And you're saying it is, by the way,
I do want to note everyone here as well.
Alexis, I believe in you, kid.
Okay, get on celebrity jeopardy.
Okay, I believe in you.
I got it, man, we can't change the game sky.
I get a month.
Okay, no, but they're saying 80% yes on the super team.
Alexis is saying it's not they're gonna fly you're giving me the coat we got all the
record it is coping the coat out of no I mean I the thing about this team though is
the problem with original super teams or most super teams is that they do have those big
ego's you find them fighting a lot to have that star power but then now you have these stars that
are actually kind of cool come collective they don't have any of them in the server they do
but their personalities just aren't like that where they would clash with you I mean
The order know that majority of these players play well together,
because they have an impact.
Yeah, no, and if anything, you've got a lot of soft spoken individuals,
but that actually might be a very good thing for us team.
Just to kind of get their ideas out there, clear and calm.
All right, now let's go ahead and hear from one of the new members of the squad.
You may have seen them a lot in red, but now you better get used to him and blue here.
Second, with a listen to them.
Now, second, you are essentially the face of Sentinels.
but here you are, and it might be our jersey, and you're going to be
going to be, I'm going to say this to the camera, you're going to be
controller, and it might be our talk, me, what is this new role on this
team?
Um, just buying controller during smokes, trying to support my team, being
auspossed as water boy, I think things like that.
Maybe you'll see some dollars too, just have to wait and see, but it's been
a lot of fun so far.
That's a look.
And yet again, another reason why the pride of New Jersey continues to
impress us all.
Now, second, coming into this one and also those with both present New Jersey.
Now, of course, second is coming into this one as we heard in the controller role.
I cannot help the people like Marna that this smells a little familiar like tens of
So what happens with his Z?
Well, I'm gonna do a little bit of fun.
Can I have a look at this one?
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
Oh, I am full set.
But you know what?
It works really well for Tens.
He really need a big turn around in his place out to kind of fit for that control of what he has.
That's it.
Like, I don't want to say anything away from Tens because he's incredible.
But Tens, I think, was definitely feeling like, hey,
maybe make their sweatshirts would work out.
Second didn't really need to.
He's still one of the greatest dualists in the world.
Yeah, I mean, I got to say the roll slots aren't really the end of the world, especially when you have a player like second, who seems way more than more the player than it is now.
Yeah, exactly. Like, as long as a player is willing to and actually enjoy it and find some sort of passion with wanting to learn a new role.
And it seems like he's ready for that. I think the thing is, too, is when you're in that controller role, you are probably going to be in major of this.
Yeah, the clutches.
You're going in making a space and you picked off first, grabbing those
crosshairs.
But second, he's going to be that water boy to us, as he said.
But also following up, getting those kills, being in those
clutch positions on postplants, being able to retake and support his
team.
So I think he's in a good spot on a really sense.
It really is impressive.
And it is, again, I'm always going to sing the praises of second as
a human because he's just a good dude.
And it does go to show you when a guy like him who could genuinely
have an entire roster built around him.
And yet he's here saying, I'm ausposses water.
Yeah, like that's the kind of humility.
Well, I think the good thing is, too,
is he's talking about what we might see double dust.
We might see it.
So maybe he's water-bore as in Yoru.
Yeah.
And they're double-thless thing it down.
And he's slouching, I see.
I see.
Yeah, he's.
You know what?
He took it up on bed.
That's actually not a bad call.
There's a great role for him to play.
And we'll see how it all works out.
of folks to this is it, let's see what our newly ascended team and we can do and
let's see what the world beaters and M.I.B.R. brings to the table.
Raya Games Arena, give up for the newly ascended!
And we, a team built from five, bringing a rain drive.
The team had grinded all the way through us here to send and we, with the one trick,
you're in a wild place. I was just showing a couple of days ago that they didn't make
it work at the highest level. And there wasn't a known coming up with how these two
cells would kind of fit, but they made it work. And they made it look great. We have Rossi
kind of being in the middle of every single fight and getting those trays off and kind of being
a firepower that makes the place out continue to work. And don't forget, Cassie got a whole
the day to rest, so I think that's going to be
a lesson plus for this and re-lying up without
egging powder.
Yeah, and every player.
Yeah, I know it's just a different side.
It makes some noise.
I'm so much about it.
But I've got to do me back here.
And here comes M-I-B-R-Squad.
That looks like they could very well dominate the region.
Learn of this is step one in that process to see if that will come true.
First share you have these players that come from so much experience in their background.
So high skills dealing in their games play.
You have players that have been part of that chance crew.
Learn on all spots they've been in playoffs coming out in those lower rounds in the round two of
of chance play up, that can chance also make really big our group, but it's okay because
he's back to kind of fooling himself and all these players they have so much to prove
because they've been on this come up. A lot of these players have been the main talk
of every roster they've been part of and these maps. I mean I think this makes sense.
The envy on the best makes sense. We saw that yesterday.
And like you want to talk about that.
Yeah, they're very unpredictable on the best.
Get a hyper over there.
seeing them kind of make some insane plays but the only thing that I'm worried about
what is that now? Am I going to be our company? They know that they're going to be having
that biper alert on attack and they know that how they intersect and how they're always
kind of ready to play for fights. So I could definitely see them kind of baiting those fights
out and punish them. Do you think that am I be our though? They're going to full send it.
They're actually going to start running it down feeling that disrespect because, honestly,
if you have firepower like this, yeah, I would I would tell I team to just hold. I mean,
honestly that's just fighting fire with fire and I think that's more of a
game rather than or on the other hand they could be playing a lot more of that
and kind of just letting and be run it down and then that's what I was going to say
on more on this side of I want to see M.I.B.R. really just set up an iron curtain
and just not allow their opponents to get any kind of progress like it to me
that will and M.I.B.R. that controls the pace of the game that much to me that's what
I'm looking for from the super team set.
I feel like I agree with you guys,
but also I'm feeling,
and my VR might want to set the pace of the game today.
But, I tend to see it, especially with the Ospa's.
Exactly.
I'm going to do something like that.
Yeah, shut them down early.
Being a little more aggressive,
taking those means proving that they are who they say are who they say they are who we think.
And I think it's important for envy here to not give a care about who they're playing on the other side.
You cannot look at the names there and put any value in a whatsoever,
because if you do, you're going to get bogged.
So let's take a look at these agents and see what we have.
We got the ISO coming out again here.
The double dual is definitely makes sense to ISO that your loop.
They did such a good job.
The extra on that URL to set up the rest of this team.
And then, MIPR with that Cypher on text.
We've seen them.
We such a phenomenal job.
Fling that Cypher all of last year.
And this makes a lot of sense.
Maybe you guys were right because I'm seeing a KO.
I'm seeing an ass from seeing a Cypher.
They're going to take it a lot slower than I thought they were.
All right, folks.
This is it.
Let's see how these two teams clash and the ascended squad
show us what they're made of or M-I-B-R
show the world that made our peace.
So let's send this over to your casters.
Here's Brandon's side show for the call.
I want to help a bunch of that we got here as well.
I'll have to pro team in the form of N-V.
It's a really good to come to team,
essentially, against a team of M-I-B-R.
It's super team that's been brewing in America's world
chance of them as well to potentially take a heavy, heavy scarp in a form of that team who
had a lot of screen time as well to be to be completely honest with you, right?
MBR are coming into this season with the highest expectations, but not exactly the most
preparation compared to the rest of the competitors.
No, it's kind of believable. You look at everything on the other side and
Kesley has only just arrived here. Yeah.
Had some visa issues, but as far as has been, I'm going not surgery. Yeah.
Which was thankfully a phenomenal success, but that has left them without very much time to practice
coming into the season. I've only been playing together for the last couple of weeks by
the look of things. But the level of quality talent on this M.A.B.R.T is so high that
the expectations are through the roof. Just immediately, really. All in your face, tag
there from the camp. I'm going to be holding this one back second shot thought as well. That's
going to be potentially canceling out of that. That's a ton of shit damage. I mean, players
allow us anything cages to play around potentially active towards the back of the sights and
shots go on wild Texas just rolling retreat all the way back, claiming multiple lines while
he's out in, leaves it just out of kids that aren't popping towards the back, as fast.
Gearing up. So re-replay that took to the way. He was to take these fights and he's
doubled up alongside the Zeno. So he's even foreign poppin now left into impossible spots.
Just with that share of looking to see if he can get his way back. Oh, but just court.
And the tail end of things here, M-I-V-R, up to a strong beginning.
ship damage was unbelievable.
That's crazy with the shocktarts.
The shocktarts caught a couple of players
and then texted spamming into Smokes and...
They did a big dive out.
200 damage before they even saw a player.
And we were talking about the comms really,
just as they were loading into it and Josh,
you want to have me with the cipher,
but you're immediately seeing
so many ideas put in because of it.
Yeah, I think that...
I'm looking at the M.I.B.R. company.
It looks like it's been pulled out of 2024.
Right, yeah.
It looks old.
It looks like an old-school version of what people will be running on a bus.
If anyone was going to be running Cypher in this game, it's not, it's not inspiring, it's, it's a yes.
So, it does feel a little behind the times, but when you have, when you have players like this,
maybe they just want to play a really solid fundamental game.
And allow NV to crash upon the rocks.
And I think, M.I.B.L. with the Astra and the Cypher do have a lot of opportunity to just stand their ground on sites.
Sure.
I mean, here's the double trips that I've double cave set up.
Very orchestrated, honestly, and takes seems to have full awareness of what's going to be happening.
He crushing your face.
It's really mad at weapons in a hands-on-eas-embeak play.
It's not enough to really get through any sort of opposition text.
Just definitive in terms of the way he's holding this one down.
Not much in the way he prints here, and a flash overhead, perfection with the setup.
That's lovely to see Tex get on the board really early on.
He's the player that, I think, a lot of the doubts are focused on.
If you are a down-the-ear event, maybe, huh?
It would be because Tex last year had a bit of a rough season.
We know that he's been put on the group before, in 2024 for example, for the level of time, we passed pass.
They were able to get to top three of Chaps.
But last year it was a wonky season for it, and it's great to see him start out on a good footing here.
He's gotten the talent. It's just about getting the out of him.
Text was running around about first, maybe late setting up over towards A, but luckily MVP.
Not looking to go fast.
It's a deep can actually, isn't it?
He's pushed all the way up to the spawn barrier, so he can get this cam out.
I think they're there now, Broken.
Get some a little bit of information though.
They're not at least at the RAD faulting.
Double smokes in mid, second's gonna calm that one out.
And start to pull attention towards them a little bit more. Be weakened.
Anyway, actually, we're doing very little of this defaulting in their game.
Previously on a best, they said something really.
Yeah, they do like to just send it.
Right mentality, is he, you know?
I'm going to anticipate it and spy I was going to be up on that line.
I think usually that kind of push would work from a Z-nobet.
This round had to be played out a little more spread.
I think it's worked.
That's 140 still.
The shield was an intact case and it would have been a gun up.
Give some access towards it.
Deep-up punish!
Yeah, going toe to toe against the final boss.
What you come to expect here burn was quite clean up over the wall.
It's made in spy and no longer a threat over the wall to it now.
Exorcist to try and take your fight with a flash, but anti-quisition play the dart in as well.
These players are finding it difficult to get through, because it's all on board here.
And please, take a fight forwards, full agro and aggression on the same page.
A really nice air from envy. They recognize that they've got to make a play in that situation.
Even with the better weapons, down in terms of numbers,
I have to take in a couple of scrappy engagements.
And it's good to see them all fighting together.
It's the exact same backpaw as when they played against evil geniuses, and I do agree with the
desert by the time we go to the end of the series and we were playing pretty well together.
But the start of the series, if you think back to your best, it was a bit disjointed in my opinion.
And so it's good to see that they've tightened that up a little. I think some of that's just because
Kesney had come fresh off a plane base out.
And then there's as well, I mean, this is the biggest stage of these players have played on.
I don't know if they do have these chips on their shoulders in terms of wanting to prove themselves.
I think nerves is such an interesting conversation with this team, because they...
Sometimes it feels like they're powered by spite.
Right, yeah.
All confidence, all ego.
And when you play against a team like MBR, everybody in every press conference is looking forward to playing against this team.
Because they're the new hot, super team on the block.
And if you beat them, like you're the guys to look at, it would just be a massive upset.
It's a massive upset.
He's too breathing a sigh of relief.
Yeah, kind of.
They've had the target on their back for the longest time.
Yeah?
I've got energy.
Yeah, maybe.
But because it might be our sort of news,
well, I think the people just want to play against it.
Yeah.
And certainly, Exeter said that.
Exeter was like, if there was one team he wanted to play against.
It was against the M.I.B.R.
The calling in from Poppin is a bit more spread defaulting
to go into the pick.
And doing a lot of four ones here with inspire on the lurk
on the lurk rather than come with him into the sight.
It's will be used for active here from last pass.
It's going to be that down forward, his back.
Clone forwards as well as upsaw, but most of that tripping.
Chew him up still into the cages, blind firing from M-I-V-R,
and they're going to see if they can wiggle the way out of this one.
That'll both of them, like, let him in.
No way!
No way!
That's fast!
Supply ground on the side for a player like him.
And he is not done yet!
Three pieces in the rounds.
Stunning and stung.
You're allowed to shoot him!
You are allowed!
That is slippery from Aspas. How has he gotten away with that?
I think it was a blind shot that he took.
Yeah, I don't think it was like...
There's no assist there for a Marine Conor, anything like that.
In the Highlight, it looks a bit simple for him.
But he was slipping inside of his cloudbursts, wiggling around that.
It's a way that that'll be imponished.
But that's me how one of those players that when he takes the fights, they're just so intelligent in the way that he does it.
And he gets a lot of balance when he's playing on the jet. It's forced out of an early time out from MD.
I think it's movement is spectacular.
Yeah. You used to, the place that I always think about with us, first as well as that.
Icebox.
Well, I was going to say split. You could literally name any map, but pushed up on A on his split defense and the way that he takes those off fights and his movement.
I don't know, he really is one of the kind, isn't he?
Because even the other flashy,
do you list players that you're thinking about?
I mean, if you want to compare directly to Zekir,
who's taken a chance to see in this roster,
Zekir's a world-classed,
doolist in his own right,
but he's a bit more aggressive,
self-first-willing-to-throw his body in there,
as well as his cool, calculated, really precise
with everything he does in front, plays his life
to perfection.
That's why everybody was really, I mean,
myself included quite excited to see him play together. I think it's a perfect duo. Yeah, and I'd love to see whether
you know how many maps in the pool is that actually gonna be playing duly stop. He hinted at it
with that interview with Liz right before this. And that would push for Zeno for
you, but I'm for the name Smogsplayer, so that might be somewhere where the roles are getting rotated.
We could buy for MV. Here's some episode of a timeout. I just want to be around to really pay attention
in terms of adjustments, but it might seem to be ahead of it
reading that there could be some mid-exploration.
Yeah, info tripping mid, so that even when these three
M&B players decide to leave, they have a bit of info there.
But as we go into the next round though,
Kez and its ultimate could end up being a real key thing
for NV to get back into this game.
And this is where not having a Yoru, not having that clone,
could end up being a bit tough at M&B, huh?
I'm just trying to play his life here and I spot like that.
I thought he thought I thought he'd put me out.
Almost he was trying to go for it, I think.
I might not have even given him a rightful, quick adjustment, not on the target.
Not quite as you know, up onto the flankers, worlds.
Good movement by inspires, well, not making it an easy fight to be taken up onto the flank.
I think he did give over that Phantom, because X does go on.
Right there, yeah.
Don't think he brought it into the round.
Next is spotted out.
Still holding it back and just not quite anticipated the players are going to be that close.
forwards again as retake is full throttle now. It might be a run-in-away with it.
That's a week of light round for energy, but very cleanly dealt with. We've been after
second falls. That's a position that we've seen a couple of people playing in that
astra. I think it was a big potentially finding that spot.
Were you throw the cliff smoke and then you'll tuck yourself inside of it?
You know, if you're going to go and see to kill you, my guaranteed a body block.
Send them straight into the depth.
So, this next round though, eyes on Kesden.
Because he can publish your pop his ultimate
and try to drag someone away.
I think Tex would be the primary target.
And they can find the site that the site is playing on.
And normally, these defensive teams,
a lot of people are playing your role on this map.
And so, your role is something that you can use
to put a lot of pressure back onto the ice.
Here, you don't have much.
There's two players tagged by the knife,
So maybe I get a bit of information that it's not the full spread of players
Grab it and I spice wouldn't be half bad as well
There you go, I mean I
Listen, there's a my walk on his head you can have a tone-out clip as I'll be scared if I was pulled into a one-by-one
I mean, Kessen. It's not a slow-stop
Kessen is played against him many many times too
It's real quiet here from every we're hitting that minute mark has been
much slower pace from envy.
Yeah.
I wonder if that's respect on MMR or a specific game plan
that they've seen cool.
It's work for me.
That's going to be all in.
And the series going off on the other side of things here.
But I was just trying to put a stop to it.
This is a lot of things.
There he goes.
Nobody found it.
Yeah.
It cleared heaven, but nobody scales off it either.
That's a bit of a miss there from envy.
They didn't use the silver utility
to confirm that there was a player from Kensington to grab.
He just sent it.
going to be grouping up so we're going to see if they can get the troops in the line
in order.
I'm popping Zalch.
It should be good for the post-blast.
That's what I'm saying.
There's time pressure here that MV could play for just the threat about so broad.
You're going to get a bit of a move.
I'm going to get MIVR moving forwards now, but it's going to use it proactively.
Yes, that retakes that.
So, come online.
Yeah, pop up.
This is going to be sending it.
Good damage.
Please, the way in.
It's a back snap approaching.
Inspire.
Sneaky business.
All the way behind them.
Just spotted out at a final few moments.
Stop for no way.
There it is.
I'm going to be looking to get away with his operator and his hands, but he's being chased.
Inspire, don't you take the duel versus him?
I'm ready as anything though.
Yeah, he only had about 46 HP, so one shot with the sheriff.
Yeah.
And I was possibly even managed to keep the op there at the end of the round two,
to take down the case that it was hunting him in spawn.
So, operator saved, economy's still good for him, maybe I are here.
And even though any take around it was costly for them. I don't I don't think that might don't
Invest in the ice or something as overall into that one is fair game and now actually continue
Some of that momentum and they get one of the things that I really like about any of these composition
That's how many big ultimate you have to win rounds
Something that MMR don't have as much of
I'm not playing the ball standard calm. Yeah, that's a question, right?
We'll see they can keep this rolling though. It's quite an off-site set up over here towards
What's the reason?
Once in your world comes through, don't think Texan Vernor will be able to hold the ground.
That is off-site, probably because of the dimensional drift.
Yeah.
You don't have to be caught out in the open.
It's going to be dropped and laid on top of this one.
A little bit of spallance and smoke goes either way.
He's thrown, but this is fast and loose now.
Let me out, root up.
There you go, plant out.
No, not yet.
There's pressure mounting all over the place here.
That's spike drop down Vernor, just weaving in and out.
Using the cover of their own pits is to be a menace here.
Play the rest of the team in, Tex.
So lights them up, two kills are him.
I'm not a pressure, MB still no plant down,
two players are seen in spire wondering,
what can they do in a spot like this?
There is that flank pressure.
Aspasses have been watching it.
Aspasses have been watching it for the last 15 seconds,
hold time, and he's turned away.
That's a few years of time.
There's two players at the back here.
There's a massive play ready and waiting Rossi activate.
But as fast as right there to return that fire.
Can inspire, make use of this opportunity.
Nice, popped off, because you're going to be fast now.
just attempting to punish that spass in your face.
Not much you can do in a spot like that.
Five to two.
You make up for it, doesn't he?
Yes, plus.
Just for a moment there, got timing.
I mean, what was it?
Two seconds in it.
Where he looks at the tour of the spawn
instead of only being linked.
I mean, he is the timing.
Right.
Just when he comes, I'll let him burn our deck.
I'm dying.
Wow, no, no.
They're crazy.
That's time for happy, I'm guys.
He's happy with that.
Yeah, we're all right.
We're all right.
That's not done.
down onto an eco though. And that's a two for two in rounds that I've seen them on the
attack side where they invest the biper out on the B and they lose. Same happened with the
game against EG. It's gonna be a bit dire for NB. You would have hoped that they were able
to convert some of those rounds, but he might have ulted a through into it. And we could buy once
more. That can be the anchor player there, towards the back of the site. I don't know,
we can do assist of potential dar vulnerable to upper dust snake bites, it's going to be sharp
shooting on order second low is anything though just have to attack that snake like
just a not stand out in the open blind oh my goodness help arrives
further in the Z-no stars are the show around like that
the second just has to sit there he's essentially based he is he's just
bait absorbs a snake by absorbs the drone pressure
And it allows casino investment to get played in.
Nice!
There's still worried about it.
The lightning rod.
There are many, many threats on this roster. You have to worry about it.
I mean, second is that the bottom of the scoreboard 2 and 5 does it matter?
No. At the moment, M.I.B.R. is 62 up.
It's one of those players that understands that as long as you're winning.
you're winning. Yeah I don't kind of rare to have somebody so talented. He's previously
a superstar dualist without too much of that ego. Yeah. We're really happy to take a
back seat on a roster of stackers this.
Talk to the screen down.
T.P. It's almost a top section of it. So they have to use the drone here, Vona, just
getting that mid-run info, ensuring that it's clear post-steering outspass. Potentially
back up. It's a precarious fight to take.
It's just a bomb.
Yeah, continue until a firecracker.
Where are you, Ants?
Yeah.
Really good awareness from us, boss.
We're clearing all of those angles.
But yeah, it's always been activated.
A little earlier than people on the other side.
Is this a fake?
Are they going to end up going back over towards me?
It does feel spread and slow for empty,
but I'm not sure there are accomplishing too much with this early round pressure.
That's flounder and really.
Yeah, he's not looking to take that one, I don't think.
Oh, get down.
Calm, there's just spots it.
Climps, pop a bloody, and a shoulder's all he needs.
That's fast.
Going up for that one and other fights, we take it up,
Drought that away.
What?
It's our move, but it's so good!
It's our move, it's our move, it's our move, it's our move!
Just out of there!
It would be cool, it's in, well.
It's blue to the chest, there, Texas.
Happy to clean up the rest of it, though, so an instantaneous trade in the odds.
They're not going to get out there, Rossi.
Happy to take that fight again as an individual to be three good shots
Lights at the above best chance and a long while for envy
This I don't want to take a rest of this. I know a little worried about getting the last
Up the ropes. What is the curry here down to the one be one Rossi versus second smoke V smoke
Positioning
Stars available for second to work with all
All ton top of it as well. If you really wanted it, I'd like to play happen, but just to start consumed from
Stown forcing the issue. Jumping around, would have heard that Rossi has jumped down here, but yeah, try running too short.
What a round by Rossi. There was some amazing shots in there. That is a really special round from Rossi. Great trade out as well.
Played up the back of Exeter as they doubled up into ropes.
Played to look at this one again.
The little hop-up kill, hop-up to the last pass, which is nice, the one before that really impressive too.
And we need rounds like this, and it's only their third so far.
Luckily on the attack side, when you've seen them in the past, in a central, for example, that's snowballing, destroying teams,
pulled those in over the money attack. This one's been a bit more patient, calculated.
But they'd like at least to get, I think, his name's Ult online here and get some more value out of that last time it's just swinging a miss.
Yeah, my bell, we're entirely off site, playing around the ultimate.
I think he's got to be worried about both of these ultobes though. When, when, when, aspaces
feeling confident enough to push up and play aggressive angles, you saw him in the previous round how he pushed into that a main space.
Popping told him onto his drone though not at all that they had to work with in round nine
So they could drone in here. I'll kiss me to get a much freer off. It's user war. Yeah, use the wall to try and get up as much as they possibly cannot play catches everyone
But crucially no sound cues
Don't go for the ice
I'm kind of king. I think this is a drone for drone taxi. I saw my follow up a machine
So no come on pop off here. That means no utility no lodomers can be used to try and bail them all the way out
Now, time it's done, drop down though, it's the floor,
Mazzino, it's gonna be given up for the cause.
That's must be playing his life,
trying to regroup with a rest of his team.
Kisnik got a knock, but he didn't get the altar
because Mazzino still technically alive.
Mazzino, four, so that's it, that's an altar in life,
which he can now use immediately at that,
so that's heaven, cleared pop and taking the space off of it.
All he wants to be taking Kisnik, how went it out?
In section and burner, when an individual
wants to watch and then it leaves it in a hands of Rossi,
Too much to deal with overwhelmed from every angle.
It feels comfortable here for Mamiya.
There should be a lot of threats, but I guess when you win,
you won't be ones at such a decent level.
I don't think there was very much threat in that.
Except for Ivan.
Spies cleared up fairly easy.
They've come in with a really clear gang plan of trying to get inspired
activated on these mid-logs.
At this point, I think it's quite readable.
I mean I haven't been getting the most value out of the ultimate to general to be honest with you.
7-3 though, chances to recover the half, but I think the best case scenario here would be an 8-4 for envy.
The weaponry is looking real bad right now.
This round might be, like you said, a bit of a throw away.
I'm going to be playing like it though.
I think extra wants to be playing for the europe.
So you get to death and you have it online for the next.
I don't know where everyone's even taken.
No, not really thinking about it, but that's the two waves of the Utah.
Moving past in a way, Missy, you know, just dominating the angle in the smoke and the hand of the flash and spire.
by a anti was played because can they not show hearts?
All right. Okay. One by internet smoke.
We're really making it nice and open for the Bruno.
I feel like he has to off load this under his fury just to buy it at the time.
He was back in the sight. No connections.
A lot of players weak that could have been big and rumping around all the way.
Us, plus.
He's like, hey, it's almost what he's occurring here with a game of time.
I can't stop!
Looks on a side arm and a syndicat, a syndicat, a syndicat. It's cool.
Envy, running it hard, pressing it and it even done the last ball like that.
No, what is going on over there in sport?
It's crazy now.
And Texas got his back to inspire the entire time, not realizing that
As per his getting pushed.
As per his life final, do my self like that.
And that's silly to begin with.
But this brawl that happened in sport was...
Huh?
Oh, I'm no.
There's no way!
Again, it's the movement actually more than the aim that wins it for us last.
But the aim is not bad, he's 13 in 3.
It's not missing.
No, round 12.
Last chance and half.
I'm going to add to their ult.
Now, I want to see every paradise.
Getting those on board, because that is a huge win condition for them on the attack side.
Extra could have his already.
Quite a high-growth here from M&B, aren't we?
Also, then they've done in the past, that's shield.
Not even broken, I think, because they can still just run this one down, but...
How is he not punished there, Rasmus again?
Yeah.
Clones are going to be broken.
Alright, it stores them out.
I'll tell you a little bit about that.
Yeah, and here it is.
Popped off.
Dimension drift forwards.
Clear it in the way for the rest of this team to follow up and through M&B.
We take this one.
They're released, pointing out, three players out towards it.
This is the drift fades away!
Oh, my god, Missy, no.
Just on it, man.
First of the players, also following shortly after
it was Rossi towards heaven.
He's got to get something done.
But again, he's fighting just awkward.
In terms of the matter that they're taking them.
Missy, he knows the one.
The steel that's showing around like this.
Inspire.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Nobody's there, problem.
They're fighting themselves in some silly situations here
towards the end of the half.
Yeah.
of how the rounds have gone in general it is clean stuff. Very easy going. To be honest
fairly reminiscent of the way the energy would destroy in cloud 9. These matches today.
And very much feels like that tear gap. The call is gone but you know we'll get him next time.
Just domination. 9 to 3 here for MIR leading. We'll see what happens on the next half.
the usual plays.
Yeah.
I mean, if you just think about round 12, double pushed into spawn directly and had
a player pushed in heaven and all three of those players died without getting to kill.
And you expect if you're going to take chances like that, some of them to pay off.
And I think that this is just an example of what happens when a team is ready for your shenanigans
and also has the skill to be able to shut you down.
Completely.
The KD is completely in opposite direction, so as you expect for a 9-3.
As we head back into it though, interesting to see that Aspast has got region of shield and a ghost here.
So, yeah, Masino taking the L drop in the ghost to his teammate.
Aspast can set up as the raid boss, the final boss.
It's going to be a selection across the board here with a shot star, so if I take an envy,
by the time for the moment, few seconds off, but now maybe potentially over-extending
Manverno is left to punish, it's time it's done.
You have two of the trouble, it's poppin' trying to go for that all as well, but he's going to be
sandwiched squeeze now, text, approaching alongside second, cautiously at that with a bit of clearance,
but yeah, shot from behind, it's Rossy, willing to help out.
They don't know where poppin' is, so second still has to clear all of these angles.
and a high-low looks nice.
It really does, yeah, they're going to be ready for this fight to be taken.
MV, this is the wrong win!
A good to see poppin' being able to win those fuels where he really needs to.
It was very critical about his amin' he was joking about it too, but he talked about.
I'm only not giving him as evil geniuses, he's gonna play it 45.
You don't go right about two.
We're all spawned through the peak reload, 2026.
Shambla.
So envy full by up into this one.
Externator of Marshal full shield so double-spec to double ball dog respect and MBR looking
at what that did for out of the court.
A lot of emphasis showed like envy they would have hold down A-Mank control and
sleep breaking that cam knife towards the top though envy see extra so they want to be
to take some of these fights.
I like the way that Inspire was playing around
is anchoring setups with the Viper on this map too.
Yeah, and some highlight rounds, last we saw,
should be a bit difficult for my VR to get to include.
All the jumps for us.
Yeah, MB, essentially on that more comfortable territory
now that the signs are swamped around, like you said,
anchor setups.
Yeah, it's a bit strange, obviously, but I think something
trying to agree. Usually I think the event is being that a tax-sided team that's
also, I mean, the comp that playing two with the else in the generation of it.
But yeah, we'll have to take and fight some control towards a main again, it's
going to be squaring up, it might be our game, they don't have Western rearmor, anything
like that, I've only been too much to use, so I'll be able to flash, or pin, he's a
background perched there, he's dead, oh my, just shreds them to pieces, stinger in hand.
It's a good one for the stats.
Yeah, it is.
And also for building up the ultimate ultimate.
It could be a game changer.
Especially as we're looking forward to a bonus round.
Don't think he'll have it online though.
Still three away.
Change that again, left.
I think...
I mean, is he...
He surely should just be jumping on the map at this point.
I don't know. He's going for something.
Where's he? Where's he off to?
He just wants to punch my wall.
I'll try to get a plan, money.
He's even gonna be able to get around time.
Yeah, that was just a toxic smile dead in the eyes
I don't feed over and I'll throw fair enough
Fair enough. Yeah, so no major ultimate's gonna be online for this bonus for envy
But we'll see if they can put something together again these anchor setups from its fire
I think a genuinely going to be difficult. It might be out of get through but I guess the question is
Is he even going to be tested because I think you're expecting to fire to be set up on V 9 times out of 10
And he's still similarly game plans as we're forward. I mean actively trying to fight over certain areas of the map even on a defense
Here always apply in pressure moving that cap
Put the big question mark in the minds of M. I being I wonder where they could exactly be laying big group up
It's going to be farmed.
I don't know, really intention though of committing to a hit with a spike drop down.
Now they may need to go and reconnect at this point because you know that they've pushed
down and pushed tanks out of that spot, broken the camera.
You're worried a little bit about them controlling this beacon actor, which is much more
available for the defenders now.
The second.
The second.
I mean, maybe a second was spotted by the drone.
Yeah, maybe just because the drone came out, just giving a little bit of indication that they're into a default now
You do actually have a good timing to go and hit a pretty quickly
Texas kept all of that space for them. That's all being quiet
So we're going out wanting to give anything away. What's the timing on this gatecrash for Exter is he going to be able to get out?
I'm not sure. Oh, it's just Exeter's fire. Let's take it over to here. Perfect timing at it. Try to dominate again
and that truck might bang all fights, take generosity, significant damage.
Kills found, is leaving it into the 33.
Deep push by our sparse, a bit of an awful lot from the player like you can use.
The lone going at it, but it doesn't have that dash of seed, we'll get out of the still eager!
Delay claim to their lives.
And Spine's gonna do it now with a stinger.
Potentially quiet upgrade, with the bulldog, but very difficult situation.
the
smoke's in your face, you know the back
cents compromised and time ticking away from you
everything watched for so that might be all final sounds up to 10
as per showcasing some of that incredible talent that he's got in terms of his name
Very clean, couple of bullets, a chest in the pocket, hit the deck, 16 to 5.
Ashes, I mean, clean is anything really, yeah it's very controlled.
I mean the timing you caught, the chest in as well, the chest in just not thinking about it, right, it's not dissipated.
I'm a big ping's up towards mid-year, M-I-B-R, eventually going into a bit of a bee split.
Popping, greeting for the org, instantly off the back of a recon in English.
I was to keep business no one was home, no to see if they can punish as a one-way in your facet.
And we'll slow down at my be-ah, for a moment.
That they've been showcasing, perfectly willing to play a patient game.
Almost everything around essentially has been slow-going.
Hasn't it good be in a position to receive this aggression on the beast split?
I'm not sure what the timing of Aspa's Texan-Vasino is going to be, but I would assume that
going to be earlier than the B-man players.
It comes up as an old as well to try and play for this one dart towards a bar.
In case this is going to try and stay alive, tags.
Essentially there.
Shield up, Kessner.
Just trying to square up.
We'll find it.
I can the second but inspire!
What I'm ready.
Place it off.
Perfectly an extra buck.
He acts the buck.
He's going to shut it down still.
Spam off the angles.
If you know what's up, inspire it.
There's someone in around like this.
this fiker's drop down, pop in, actually trying to find his place as well onto the map.
This is seconds surrounded.
30 seconds.
On the three right from behind, it's clinical stuff.
Pop in is able to seal it up.
MV, trailer by four rounds here, and you're able to find, you know, these little
footholes here and there for out this box so far.
Yeah, I think what the defense side though, they're actually looking like they've got
some better opportunities to start up over there, but yeah.
Yeah.
I'm hoping he's reading this round, actually.
Could end up being a key thing to look at from the rest of the game.
He was able to push out and take this ace base instantly within the first.
I don't know, three seconds of the round.
It just threw our recon, grabbed the orb, and was on the flank real fast.
Yeah, I could've dropped Shield, just popped off before that knife.
You could've got a suppression guy.
Because they're trying to square up his desperate for them to peek.
He wants value out of his shield.
Yeah, that's good trading.
I could have, could have potentially just sent the ultimate in there as well, so that you guarantee some value out of the shield, but maybe doesn't want to invest it on this round, but he knows that MBR is going to be on my light if I
That's my source of the hero vandal
Makes this round feel a lot less like a light by Firm RBR
And he's still got a blade storm in his back pocket for the next
I say that he would have to get a kill, but odds on yeah, odds on
As fast as probably going to be good for it, right?
It's all slow for now.
MVP were grouped up and mid for a little bit,
just from the pressure that Texas was creating.
Clean them up.
45 seconds left. What is the call to be made for us?
You've jet-devised it a little bit lost here?
Well, good timing. Now, after the defensive dron comes through,
look at them. Starting to rotate these defensive players away
because the dron didn't see anything in a main.
And now this is the timing for the attackers to take into the ace.
The bonus is going to be unpoppin.
This one's supposed to play his life in a position like this here as it can be a draw on the tax.
I've been to the smoke. We don't expect that. He's on 45 HP.
Allies arriving onto it. He has an old that he could offload here.
Suppression, vulnerable to up onto multiple targets. Again, that plant is still need to go down the time pressure.
Mounting upon MIR.
You're going to need to see if they can really deliver something here.
Because just overloads it again. And I'm also going to deny that plant.
No, what's going on to this one, MP?
M.B.
So the flood thereway in.
Everybody won the road.
He got the plant out and he lived all of that somehow.
It was a pack for C.No!
They said, oh no way.
Four kills.
One more videoease in Spire.
Granchly moving towards him in Spire though.
Crazy opportunity now brings it into that one B1.
Such a back.
Should have been an impossibility.
Guessing as the words that could be to pull by Zepa to bit a time.
Second time in the turn is a half clearance onto the corner,
Thrystey win, but M-I-B-R.
That is worst case I have at N-V.
The invested are all out into that round.
Missico is a miracle worker here.
The first player gets denied by the hundred-surreys.
Second player gets cracked by Kessletz, ultimate.
And Missico, plant, kill, kill, kill, kill.
What is this thing that you have?
It kills two with his finger at sport.
What on earth?
Because not shield up to him.
Oh, that's an unbelievable round from the Zeno
that should never be happening.
You won't see anything like that for the rest of the season.
That's insanity.
With a sting up.
Yeah.
And he only had five seconds to be able to get the plant to.
He had to stick it.
I didn't think it was on it.
The UI was just tripping.
Yeah.
Yeah, well.
I thought it was a weird impression.
Yeah, I couldn't, I can't believe they managed to...
Somehow, when that one, MBA also can be asked
and there's other thing, question, tag time out for it.
Five round deficit, but in Beacon still buy.
I think the biggest problem is that all of those
ultimates have disappeared now, like you were saying.
It was super expensive, had they won the round?
You might be feeling all right about it,
but it was still an anti-Eco.
Yeah, so, either way, that was looking a little rough
and Masino's just put the chairing on the cake.
I'm gonna be wrong.
And that was even with the ultimate as well.
So he's the danger player once more.
Malcolmad is really nice
to be able to open up these avenues into sites.
Especially against the fight for weirdly enough
because you just neutralize the ability
for inspired by the inside of his smokes.
Chances speed up here for the might be out,
but the slow game play is just been working out.
It hasn't had a reason to change it up.
I think whoever's been really good
at calling around poppin''s utility.
The silver meta game trying to find those timing to pass the defensive draw.
It's been great.
There's an Okamand.
It's going to be Medina who leads the charge.
He's going to be dropped out to his knees for tensile for the resurrect as well.
I'm drafting a dash.
I'm going to get him for all to get in there.
Still.
Good moment.
Lost in making the nags at all.
Go with a pop in.
Hold him down to choke points.
Two players removed.
Then they're sighted.
Perfect.
And then the blink of an eye.
Steel lay around.
Up to seven out for them.
Very confident playing that flood defense star.
Tempo increase and envy are all over it.
This isn't a replay.
Popping get it onto an aggressive position.
Plays it the rest of the score and kills the entrosse.
Hey, let's go, baby!
I'll be back here on Popping up, we're feeling great about that one.
It's a weird buy now.
It might be our last bonus reset,
because they were able to win that round.
Aspust though, with Bladestorm and a couple of rifles, it still feels almost like a full
button.
Making a feel like it's just text to cage and a cam, and we'll go up to take a man
that everybody waiting to leap into the fray you can see him straight in, no one's
home.
I want to anchor him, shield up and pot, but it's time to decorn it.
Darts, dangerous, tricky, spotted situation, especially with that one, that's oppression
And then the vulnerable is a flood that re-take attempts already going in, especially in the town in a spot like this, but by the time, roll it back a little bit.
There might be artists absorb that aggression.
It's a lot of patience from MMRBR, not going for a plant in that situation.
I just disciplined.
And now, look at what that's done to the defenders, they have no idea what's going on right now.
They're lost.
They're looking to re-clear over towards me, as the re-hit comes through.
I might be just doing a fantastic job of controlling the pace, not getting sucked into the NV high tempo place now
But as you know, it's still gonna get the spike of the ground now and be nowhere it's ended
Bullets ran it down on your heads danger lurk in every corner
They go for the tap. I've heard them. They're flying occurring to the tap and I push like you said all the way to one's backside planting and
Choring that it could be cleared
Okay, no, I was an extension into the round to you now. I'll fight to be taken forwards
There's no one he's kissing it, potentially just looking to see if he can lock this one up,
Mazzino's found Rossi.
Over the fight, that was one possibility, I suppose!
For Mazzino!
And it's spotlight that, take back control of the rounds.
It might be out so good at just slowing it down.
And these players are so good too.
Mazzino's hyper-aware, he clears Rossi on the flank here.
And then he's still good for winning the extra duel towards the fire.
Yeah, yeah, it's boys.
The Zenos are big reason why this is considered a super team by many.
He is one of our America's MVP's at the end of our team.
I think it was the 2024 season.
He was spectacular that year.
Happy Stackup MVP. This is all in a bit of a gamble.
That's crouched.
The Zenos are ready.
Trade is there in sight and even those puffs off.
Bonnable still throwing away my VR side stepping down to the Manahunders fury and just like that poppin
Left reeling wondering how to held-away when this position's already accountable nightfouts
See you later good night
37 for opening mapping this one MDR showing up
Great opening map for a team with high expectations a lot of pressure on their shoulders
But a very very talented roster if this is what they look like with only a couple weeks of practice
We're in for a treat across the whole of the America season, but there's more of this to be flagged.
We're going to go into their own map pick next to Karot.
And we don't know what the cops are going to look like. We don't know what the roles may be.
We're going to look like I would love to see some double-do list.
Karot on-plies or wherever it happens.
Because I was a very slow affair, wasn't it? Not the best.
Horses and I may have just making sure that they could take control of the pace of every point of time and lose rounds.
down to a crow coming up gives opportunities to like you said played with that
with you list maybe get a bit more explosive with it we'll see don't go anywhere you
know you don't want to miss it
Red Bull gives you wings.
Today I'm at Laspas, I'm on the bus, and this is my team in D.E.
First, I'm going to see the next one, the next one, the Mazin, it's the Flex,
I want you to know how to do it and do everything with this lens.
Third, the lens, he's already controlled, he's very good.
I wanted to do it, and now we're going to play a lot of animation.
Finally, the text, he's sitting there, and he's the one who's more impressed.
I've already known him, so he's always maintaining his animated image.
here with the coach of M.I.B.R. Fraud now nicely done, stealing their map pick away.
I think there are a lot of questions about your map pick of CRODE and what the roles are
going to shake out to be. We'll see that double-dueless. So can we give any hint and for our
analysts ask as to what the roles will be on your map pick?
I mean, we'll just have to wait to see, but ultimately I think the team we're going to
try our best to be very diverse and just try different things. So you never know what you're
going to see, but you know,
we're very happy with just everyone's flexibility
and the ability to play whatever we feel like we need
to play at the moment.
So, yeah.
Get really like God, it best of luck.
Come on, fraud.
Give us something, a little more so
of goodness, please.
But of course, so if you're an M.I.B.R. fan,
you are very happy with how things have gone
especially after MAP 1, a strong showing 13 to 7
there Athena, and really what we were seeing right out of the gate was exactly what
my self and Emily actually were really looking to see from this team, which was a stalwart
defense, and that is exactly what we got.
First share, we saw a lot of these different setups, a lot of these really good reactions.
So this round for example, they had that Viper pit on site, and they were able to just
fast flood right into it.
And then they knew that this was going to be an antico, got a little bit close, but
didn't matter because again, these lead tapes going in together, their defense setups
just made a lot of sense.
They did a lot of those default setups.
They had a lot of those four ones, that we too, with the aggressive off on the other side.
And just overall, it looked like their playbook was super deep.
Arguably, for me, probably one of the best defense playbooks we've seen, the most
thought-out defense setups that we've seen so far in kickoff.
No, I can really agree to add on to your point, though.
I think they also did their homework,
because the way that they're playing it,
it's similar to how loud it's playing.
It's playing back, not really giving those kills in those wives
to envy to kind of work off of, right?
And that made them on control.
You saw on that bipro around that you picked out,
is that they got antsy.
They started to teach me out when they didn't really have to.
They don't know what to do in those situations.
Where it is a five on five retake.
Yeah, and it just looks like an IBR has that read,
like you said, every single time,
they're able to re-take together.
They have the set mutiled that they're trying to play off of.
And then of course, that all boils down to IGL.
Vernal, being able to call out a lot of those timings.
I need to get a phenomenal job at it,
as well as keeping up there.
And I also do want to say, as well.
Like, let's not forget, this NV squad
is coming into this one with the two subs
that they're new and integrate into their system.
Yes, they're very good players,
and they can't pop off when they need to.
But this is a different tale of two different teams.
and what they're experiencing right now.
And of course, you have to keep in mind
that when you have massive rounds
that could potentially shut down any comeback.
I mean, Emily, it's like this round 17,
30 and more poorly, it just was the 10 on the fun to game.
Right? The final piece of the game.
Yeah, and the plan is so well,
like even having all this utility thrown,
I think the fact that they're able to kind of come back
and then around, get this plant down so very,
right into even after getting so old.
I mean, granted, Miss, you know, had like an insane round
at the 4K, just sitting in that corner, getting that first kill
and continuing to kind of hold it down.
And then again, earlier, we talked about Zephen
being in those clutch positions, being left in that one
B1 was just perfect.
Yeah, I think we're gonna see that.
Nice again.
Yeah, no, what?
I'm sorry, why they were talking about Miss,
you know, being on this team, that guy
can get active into any point time,
and can absolutely dominate the game.
every single player is on this team.
Yeah, that's the point of the roster.
Yeah, that's the point of the roster.
Oh, man, that's a call.
Let me see if I let Ashley set it over to Coach Stutter.
And he already has to say ahead of Matt too.
Here are the coach of NV Stutter.
Now it's a rough, lost map.
A rough, rough, rough, rough loss on your map.
There we go.
We got it.
Something I want to ask you is the adjustments
that we are going to make for Matt too.
It seemed like you were slowly getting there
on the second half of Matt,
but it just couldn't quite get there.
So what have you told your team back there to make to do from up to you?
I mean, it's the envy classic loose first map when the next two.
You know, we're joking around, making it more lighthearted.
I think these guys played a little bit too slow for my liking.
And I think we played a little bit into M.I.B.R.s place-all.
Well, we'll fix it for the next time.
All right, well, that's a look.
So you heard there, right?
Played a little bit too much in the M.I.B.R.s place-all.
That I most definitely can agree with.
So technically art wasn't right.
They didn't make them play to their play solid.
Just it wasn't as aggressive.
Okay, are you able to always look at the right angle?
I'm really, like, it's like it's my job.
I know.
Now let's talk about corrode here.
This is going to be the second map.
Emily, what should we be expecting?
What are you looking for?
I might be wrong.
From M.I.B.R.
I'm looking to see how they react to NBC's faster reactions,
because that's one thing that really brought corrode to get that win
or brought the win for NBC's crew.
because the limitations they had having that
Euro being a quick-roset and the
group fights that they had specifically
on-site, it was something straight ahead.
I think all this decision-making and
this fast-thinking is because they have all
grinded, grinded, so much. It sounds
silly because yeah, at the end of the day,
break whatever. But I do think all those
reps are having to kind of come up with
something on the spot and not be stuck
And by their stuff in the playbook and the stuff that was already pre-planned, it's great.
I think a big chunk of that too is poppin and having that coaching staff to kind of let
you be super creative in the server and be able to listen to each other.
Like you said, there's a lot that comes in from ranked, but also playing on this team
dynamic, having those two sub, sometimes it's a little bit hard to have them be on the
same pace.
So you really need to step up in terms of that communication in terms of that ideal.
And I think they're doing that actually because they are balancing off of each other so well like I feel like there's never a time where everyone's kind of just sitting still
They're always constantly moving around especially when it's not there's a lot of moving pieces
But it works out and that's kind of their bread and butter is being quick
They're being fast. Yeah, but I think for I might be our I mean, they just know how to shut down
Yeah
They know how to shut down the protocols even when they're down in numbers. They always come up with a way to come back into it
I think the biggest counter here for envy when they're looking at how they're going to defeat my jar is kind of figuring out where their weaker side is.
Yeah, where's the gap in the set up?
Yeah, constantly they have that jet towards it.
It was sight with the cypher just doing kind of like a re-tick set up.
It's pretty odd.
But I think more importantly though, it's about almost forcing that, that mistake.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
I know for sure.
So, Bart, folks, we'll listen.
There's a lot we could talk about here in this series.
series and we will. But for now though, Brennan side charred
going to catch you guys on the other side after this, let's see if
we can get a map three from then V.
the
they were only going to be pulled in to that fast tempo, the aggression, that ranked play
style almost at envy, have just been forged into. There's a lot of interesting little
flavors I think you can add to a match like this too. The fact that you have this team that
is path to pro, they've made it all the way in now, getting the chance to really go toe to toe
with some of the best in the world. But also the fact that you put this extra element, right?
You've got a kid's nickname against Missy, you know? Yeah.
So Chilean players who, you know, we're a Santiago coming up, right? In Chile. So that's nice
This is one.
Yeah, and then the players have played together plenty before, players have played against
each other, as you're seeing right now as well, and both of them.
I mean, especially with Sami's, like, particularly excited that something are going
on that horizon.
If envy were able to get there, that would be astonishingly good, completely in the
past of Pro and then at that point your almost royal road in it, like going all the way through
to the global tournament.
There might be other who are expected to make it, that's the difference in expectations
for this team.
And it is second on Omen, I'm a little disappointed.
Yeah, I was hoping to see the Yoru way like come out of his mouth.
That movie is fine, it's a good comp.
It is a good comp, yeah.
I've got no problems.
I was hoping to see it though, listen, part of his mouth, so excited.
Ford is MIR teams, if he forms.
But maybe you're going to be running it,
so it gives them those options to slow it down in the right places.
It's a speed up when necessary.
I mean, based on the style that MIR will want to run on this,
playing double controller like this and playing around the info game and just sending a pass past
of these good opportunities to be able to, you know, get in deep on the attack side but then also
recall out and play to trade on the defense point and opening hands like it's it's energy isn't it?
It's that kind of style that it might be our played at champs as well with that's
passing the way like it just works for them. As we head in here, time is ticking down for
So I want to see envy, I think, learn from someone on the stakes in that UG matchup.
Took them a while to get all the pieces working together, clicking, I think, as well, a big stage, maybe.
Just a little bit of the back of their minds, but...
This was one of the absolute ways I think they look good.
Sure, yeah.
The desks was talking about it, they increased the tempo a little bit.
Good fast reaction, so what was going on?
I mean, we're getting a bit more into the game.
Let's get into it, map two.
Again.
the pace that we were talking about.
And I'd be able to put again, but they leave it into a 1v2 for inspired double walking
his hold in the eye.
Go and kiss a baby girl!
It all to come to him!
That is great read from inspired.
Pop-off towards the other round, well deserved to.
Smart play.
Actually, three of his really nice following up off the paranoia, even getting another one
with his dying breath.
Spare plays that really intelligent.
Good shit guys, push fast, let's go!
That's the kind of thing that envy
Uh, this is not a bad playbook
Yeah
But
Showing him that they can shut it down when other people do it
I'm never seen that before
Of course, he's performing a like, where is that?
There's a lot of it just a stuff on guard
You'll have to have his continued to find some things hidden around the map
But moving delivery truck
A salt line
Yeah
For the harvesting
I thought no, it can't be good for you though, it's everywhere
It's the microplastics, man.
Yeah, well, we've already got that, so not too different.
Texas 4, we're going to early over here.
See, if that's not the outlook to the prior Dice L terms, what's the objective in a round like this?
Yeah, farm up the Orbs if you can.
See what I said, it might look like, so you can overwhelm here, but envy.
Plenty of bodies are like places for this one, guess it?
God dammit!
Relentless! He's hunted beams and down, yeah, get some closer halfway now to his own alt.
Cousin, it's got the potential to be one of the best players in America as he has been across his career.
Just depends how the team around in functions, whether or not he can get put in positions where he gets that space, gets to rely on his.
They're learning for when they go to something up.
Alright, it's a weaker weaponry.
Can I take a look? Can I take a look at the next few positions?
We're fast beginning. Oh, there's a chance for fight there, but
If I was going to be used on the side, I would expect.
What's the difference with a lot of this I think? On the smoke.
Are we not gearing up in spite of deep push this is?
Just brazen to his core. I like tucking in his core.
The one we want to take.
You're swinging again, swinging deeper in the fight before.
That's kind of crazy.
You know that mid-defaulting, you know,
but Missino is not going to be the only one there,
but all right, maybe you thought there was another player
just tucked right around the corner.
So it's not usually going to be the KO alone holding the B-D for, right?
So maybe you thought there's going to be another person right here.
I've got no chance of escape.
I'm going to be hoping of maybe our speeding things up.
I think place like that are going to firmly assert them
to just keep playing slow.
Yeah, because now you've got so many different angles
over towards B-main, whether it's a threat
of somebody being in a close corner and off-angle.
This is a real drawing.
Yeah, Drunk got used for mid-reposition, smoke up.
But here, forward, that's us.
We're now fighting out now.
It's a series of four woods.
The data towards the top, Rossi, is an off-angle of his own,
but the revealed, so position spoiled,
angus-moked place.
Once they're trying to split up, but at this side in this map,
He's going to be TP in backwards in a way, overfireding, am I beyond looking for this one?
Oh no!
Front tip top here in the mountain around them,
substrate he does not care.
Next up forwards again, control in the spray towards it.
No bonus conversion here for envy.
A little bit unfortunate there for Rossi that it wasn't able to land the paranoid properly.
Vono though, absolutely deletes the empty players.
I don't mind if I can keep our boat as roundhold that.
Yeah.
That is the time to take risks like this.
But for us happy that MBR are back in the game real fast.
MZNo, two away from getting his nil command not mine.
But it'll be us pace.
You can afford to play for some of the orbs.
They slow games, see what happens?
Only being slow.
That's a lot of damage, thinking for the wall, Rossi.
That's the back of him.
On the south, all in away from it.
That's the best looking like he potentially wants it to gear up.
But duration fading on that pullback.
So I definitely think the intention there was to go for the double dash.
And engage into Pop-in's position.
From it.
Texas is open to water.
Doesn't it take it to peak anyway?
You know, it's the second player.
It's now going to be squeezed.
Oh, my goodness.
Kessnitz.
It's relentless.
I just want to keep going for a little bit more.
a bit more as far as the player that you do not want to take lightly or not damaged
done, Rossi's week popping on the other judge.
It's not possible at least for M.I.B.R., he's Mr.Zeno.
This jump spot will not catch Mr.I.B.
looks up, tucked close to the wall.
It is silent, but you're right, there's a big gap, and he didn't even see us.
I'd be actually not using them.
Trudeau, there's a connection into the charge and he's just off-center with it.
He cries into a 2v2, but again, look at that discipline.
And I'd be, ah, not willing to just run into the site,
waiting for the cooldowns, and I've placed one section, they into the back.
I'd be able to slow it down at every moment.
There's given opportunity the MVDO to regroup up.
I've already cleared these positions, but I suppose it's worried someone might be tucked in a corner.
Where's your read?
These defenders actually are.
It's a different one because they've already taken the time and wrapping around.
We've lost seeds and want to reload this one, he's low enough.
As it is, players though, supporting him out, it might be up.
We'll train them to the angles, finding the right time,
he's forward and spires revealed his positioning.
And I was going to tough challenge ahead.
One, two, and you ready?
Missy, no?
So if I take it, that's not swimming off the market.
This is what a topic is.
And that's what I'm talking about.
Blondon it.
Straight to the cranium.
Those kinds of spots, you see,
How smart as possible is when the 0 gets killed that quickly he realizes that the end
To get reset really fast through it's basically so instead of playing the trade in really quick reaction
It's just a science all right. We're gonna play this to one. We want I'm not gonna swing in here
Because it's closed already reset is a
It's closed. I'll be about it calls back and that is an instant corner for the tax time. It is the early days. We're only on round five
Yeah, it is very early
The economy was not looking particularly good there, was it?
Oppen was going in with no armor and a judge.
And I think I was part of the problem.
He got stuck over towards bricks and wasn't really able to take a fight.
As I loved that reflack all the way through from Rossi up through Elbow.
And Inspire was distracting for him.
I don't know.
These M.A.B.R. players are just so rare.
Instantly, Missino, I asked for cover in the wraparound play like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
and have a level of instinct on it.
The level of experience on this team
is another thing that bears talking about,
I think, because it's not just talent.
You can have talent with a lot of upcoming players.
I think, you know, saddle for example,
phenomenally talented.
I don't know you've got it.
Exle here, very like the best mechanical yorru
in terms of how he utilizes the kit.
But in terms of like, actual experience
of playing in big matches,
They in day out for years and years, M.O.B.R. have collected a huge amount of players with that particular strength that is ten years.
Yeah, you know, on the block, Zorin also the only guy who hasn't really had it.
We didn't want to rookie year. He's managed to become an IGL.
Yeah, it's sort of a self. It's, it's not a pretty crazy stuff, I suppose.
Should fruit mids, how could take that fight as well, the refract timing?
Fates away, doesn't pull himself back, in fact, he's even to take even more space off of it.
In tracking the economy out all in his hands.
Drone, going to carve up a bit of space for mid, they realise a lot of this one, it's just clear.
And I suppose he's going to walk about here and he doesn't really care if he loses the outlook,
because everybody else on his team has got full armor.
So he's almost acting as like the look at here where he gets to just...
Oh, kid!
Yeah, noise made, and oh, there.
Yeah.
Shock nesting on white to make it shut.
Yeah.
Something he committed to reload is why he didn't go through the re-swings.
Still, underhand him on a flash.
A fight into Albo is called for and spy with a reposition.
He's trying to take his fighting so fast!
What a shot!
Stop straight to the head of Zekin, but he lost control towards one section of Mzino.
Slamping himself.
Straight towards it, envy.
Feels like they find themselves in by making these crazy plays, but we'll just get slapped back down again and I'll see
Not anticipate in the ass post, we'll just put that off angle the jar towards it. There might be a
Building them towards some massive ultimate support in this next
Critical economical swing round too
Yeah
Hell of a play from its fire with the rest of the team just doesn't have the guns.
To be able to stand toe to toe and watch them out of these long new modules.
I've been going the way of MBR this whole match.
Yeah.
And now the ults are online.
You don't even have to think too much.
You just put together a set play round and all the one on the B site.
Spire is going to have a job on his hands keeping this one back.
Pixel and gold.
Trusted to the aim.
But that drone is going to be pushing you off the line.
You pull going over.
No, no, no.
I'm just curious, this is going to be used to see if they can lead the charge into it, not commands on top.
A lot of ultimate, but no one's really said and passed this all.
It means that we'll be forwarding now, which is that suppression emanating out poppin.
We need to help him out double drop potential for the lineup, but that's fast, fast, fast.
The Reson line holds it back, is that what's in the open, he's up, follow up on the flank is caught.
It's explosive when necessary.
Exeter in a 1v3 now, it might be our still holding it watching the creepy wondering where he could be.
Place them across the up, native infeats, hot as anything, as you know, is already on the perfect line.
One player for envy makes a great spot killing two of them might be our players, but there's just way more people to get through.
It's probably not every player, so talented they're just training themselves out group off together
Supposed to's already caught to the entry and then
Second coming through
Lane is roll exactly as he needs to and I'd be able to just make it look simple. They do it on there
Well, I think it is
Simple her as well when you have
Also be able to rely on and you catch the player on the flank
They've got a great awareness of understanding of how envy are gonna try to approach these routes
We can run it again as fast.
Down, prowler.
Push them back in a way.
Envy will look into it.
Refight aggressively with the flashes.
Not needed now that they did push as fast away.
But now they can just wait again.
Hold.
A lot of angles to account for.
Popping goes for the re-swing.
It's just way across.
As fast as we spotted,
Stratio's going his way.
Go for the jump.
Go for the jump.
the game of patience is favoring MBR in general. It does feel like envy want to try to force the fights more often.
Anking on that NBA playstyle of just being a man.
And practic always had to get active and ball, because that's not a trade there.
In fact, the saturated is good enough as well to really slow them down to the punish.
Doesn't go that way for the fall, but NBA players rapidly approaching out of positioning here.
here. Overwatch the A side looks like the end goal.
But MBR moving around.
His next little bit of a minutes, but he is in a sticky spot.
We've moved towards plays behind it around everywhere.
To count as safety in numbers though, and however you have got it all under control.
How Mazena survives in that spot with two players pushing in for the back.
They're credited to his teammates who are holding it from the bricks position.
I mean, Spire, you know, one B3 with only a share of it.
It's very tight.
So you know, low?
He's low, he wouldn't have done tons of a single shot, but he's going to be back to them now, making sure to double play it up.
It's definitely there.
It's common, even if it's fire.
Almost like you had a chance in it, but...
Won't be three.
There would be all on top of things.
If you haven't been going to get back into this game,
Next round coming up, it's got to be two or dying.
It's going to be there.
Go get money back.
You've got four or five holes to be able to play with.
It's fire could lock down one part of the map where this fire was prepared.
You could play even heavy-need and play retake on one of the rounds one of the size of
Magma the extra and pop insults, but you've got so many different ways of being able
to play your defensive setups with these elements now.
I don't know yet, you'd like some early-heast classes rearing it to go, flash over
heads, and I'd like speed dash into the smoke, so many angles and layers to this one
state bite hold out that it's fun of the corner.
It's a distraction to get the open really deep as well.
second, selling a bit of this chord behind enemy lines here, so I'm going to drop down
pop in, looking to see if I can recreate this one, has the prowler, but he's misaligned it.
Yeah, wasn't expecting this second to be that deep, T.P. round.
Thanks on fakes.
They've, I'm not a bit of a wedge up towards this middle section.
I'm not supposed to push the pressure down to extra.
I have to use that dimension to get out, but inspire.
He's still locked forwards into his angle.
Things are, though.
What it can be is, I'm potential for the fight to be taken again, but still not favorite.
But M.I.B.R.
Happy to win to the way the opposition.
Welcome.
Porsciously at that and now are the pits in play.
Does keep an opportunity for the MVP players to get in.
Drop down from those with them.
Kessness forwards again.
Now you're going to see it in hand with a shorty.
It was hoping for an easy kill, but funny.
In position, Rossido reposition is perfect.
T.P. up towards the top.
So they're on turn to see if they can get a bit of chaos going.
But Werno locking it down.
The pits still in play means that the K is going to be kicking in.
Damaged don't even find a pocket to potentially.
The new himself, hiding in the drone.
There's still chances for Rossi, but chance fades away at that.
This is M-I-B-R.
Not just in the driving seat, I mean, it's just been in complete control outside of just losing the pistol.
But that's what given them a lot of credit for how good that defensive setup is on to our best.
This is really nice with the flat, the stuntboard.
You go for a fake, hard bee push in order to disguise the fact that the second is
deep teleporting into mid. Then you cancel the bee push because you have a way like
who can just reflect fully out, and second ends up being the playmaker. And then you
set up for another beast play afterwards, it's really beautiful stuff. And Envy, at a horrible
time of it, keep having their economy just knocked back down fully. Yeah, never a good
chance to get involved. I'll be off one of the faster rounds that we're seeing from the
now the group of envy.
This is a wheelhouse. They like to play like this.
Sees and a flash is primed.
X is ready for it alongside the horns, pull on a pressure,
pull on a presence, envy.
Trying to go over this one here,
so there's managerlies with it with the shots.
I wouldn't be with me.
These could be some backup and follow-up through.
It might be up.
Find a way through.
And there's a splinter cut it up and still with the rifles.
They will just topple.
Cutting them down.
Even when it feels like there's a chance,
potential for envy to get something going.
And I'd be like, oh, always find a way back in.
I remember you are definitely had a couple of wiffy moments,
they made me feel like I guess the same could be said for anything.
Flashing a prowler plate, I felt like they should have been chances there.
Yeah, for the team with the lower economy to come out on top.
If that'd been a rifle round, and then I'd be able to play at the same pace, I think.
I think envy a really comfortable in those spots.
But it does feel like the rounds in which envy you've got the chances,
They just don't have to weaponry.
Yeah.
To finish, finish it off.
Those are a very intentional game plan.
Yeah, yeah.
They don't exactly the place out of them.
They want to go for it.
They're happy to give them a little bit of hope on the rounds where they...
Yeah.
Control things, exactly.
It's not 100% slow, which is on the rounds where they're going to be favour-clean-finals.
Yeah.
Forcing this second time up.
Yeah, well, this is seven rounds for the round off.
That might be hard.
I said that round eight.
I think it was the one where Andy had to get back into it.
They had the ults.
They had the weaponry.
They had an op there.
in a casino as well now this is desperate territory if they could win three in a row
off the back of this time out from stunner they'd be feeling great about that 755 would
be an amazing recovery but he's likely not based on what we've been seeing
it's never really been a chance I mean a few moments on this from individuals showing
But, you know, as the series has gone on, it just fills out.
Almost hopeless.
As per us, we're in attack operator.
Flies that they're going to be running another one of the slow routes here.
He's 10 and 5 by the way.
Of course he is.
That's just been unbelievable.
First map of the way 20 kills.
Twenty and eight.
Yeah.
So total, he's got 30 kills.
So the 13 deaths.
This is unbelievable.
It's just coming off the back of just having a hard surgery and a couple of weeks ago.
One.
There's no play like him, really.
No. He's one of a kind.
Prala.
Tags is a bait and switch.
I think it's just going to be text hiding in the corner.
I want to take a chance to jump onto all of this one.
But again, here, like I said, bait and switch.
You don't expect it to be three players around the corner.
Or I'll sit on a desperately apply that pressure.
Put down the smoke to see if you can delay in the stall.
There's going to be a draw at his back.
attack potential, conversion pass, locking it down, slowing them to a crawl MB, and
extra force to respect it.
It has to get the hell out of there.
Rossy looking to see if he can contain a chance to take a bite, deep through the wall
stepping out, and they're just taking turns with these fights, so a lot of damage
done.
No clear kill, but it still could be a lightening into the tunnel.
Bonerwood and the go-on-ha, they will cover it everywhere!
The team play is just so beautiful.
Next is left in a 1v3.
It's on a real ex-step.
Making a go of it.
Again, that damage is done.
Second, finish off snapping towards his head.
Ex-denal brings it into that 1v2 verbino.
Gonna be trying to play his life.
But a bullet's raining down a lot of shotguns at his feet.
55-tart, let out.
They know he's not on it.
Making him stew, making him question exactly where it's all going around.
This round exemplifies how M.I.B.R.
I think it's going to be a scary scary thing to go up against.
Because, all right, Aspash got to get the cleatist kill over towards Elfum,
but then second swings in.
And then you're trying to get rid of Vrdle with that corner.
You throw a snake by that and Aspash comes and covers it.
When you've got the planes of this caliber all covering for each other,
all really intelligent and willing to swing and trade and take pressure off each other,
it's like a multi-headed hydro that you have to defeat.
Top of one head, two more threats pop up.
Again, similar game plans once more, all to be in popped off, and this is a week of
eye for envy.
At this point, desperation, grasping it absolutely anything at all.
It's quite a finally commit to this ultimate, and it's on a roundloaded couple of
money.
Yeah.
A few players, at least just the one, X, is on Phelama, I suppose, without out war.
It's been doing us a lot when he knows the money's week, just up into it.
I'm gonna try to tell you, J. Double Fight, swing out.
I've already gone.
Kessenitz is gonna be scurrying and scustling away from this one,
but there's bullets just chasing and following him
under the hat of the flash and no command.
Took down to your feet, asked for us.
That's just over the heads of multiple players.
And via grouped up here to exit.
Long side Rossi, again, trademark,
tempering off the rounds.
He's willing to play this one out.
The second is 4 HP, spraying and spamming away.
That's unreal.
The other two players were completely stuck.
That's what's the last.
I mean, what's inspiring to you with a bucket from here?
Not much.
vulnerable, applied, but he's being rained down
upon long range of artillery and the form of that utility.
Inspires just being shipped down, he can't even get.
He's got to be sort of stepped forward.
That's trying to cut up a little smoke
his way forwards with a bucket.
He's just ridiculous. Yeah, you're not going to be favored.
That's fast. Just hugs his wall to the back.
Play the range advantage.
Nine to two, M-I-D-R.
That's round, it's half.
All right, if everything went up his side,
it would have been just a clean two.
Yeah, complete enough of it.
They are ready for everything going on.
I'd love that crowd.
He's incredibly aware, Zach.
Why did that place come through?
He's ready for it.
And then, when you need a little bit,
the star power from him,
run them in the support,
he swings forwards and deletes two of them,
including through a boss,
with a spray control on the bundle.
Ruff 1 for Envy.
Envy like this is just all you just cannot somehow at any point to trying to go for
these agro plays but it's just absorbed, peeled back, MBR.
They're not offering up any players, no mistakes made.
I do like this though, Envy hard pushing another B-side of them up is going to naturally
increase the tempo that MBR has.
Seconds.
Seconds condition them with that T-P player earlier, is T-P just with his team and they
are having to hard clear spawn.
and so worried about it, they're having to clear all of these kind of positions, and meanwhile,
seconds, Giga wins himself with the rest of his team.
He's with the rest of the flash reclear.
The squad has gone south, a kill in the former text dropping.
Hold on, this is the best chat. It's in a long, long while, a conversion pass.
Hidden doesn't slow.
The bunch of different is one, a clear one, how many of it?
A lot of ultimates to use and be putting them to work for the fight around of this half.
Go and open, go, no, go, no, go!
No, like this!
Can't be doing it to him!
This has to be the round for envy.
Diver in a 4v1.
There's no chance MBR are also taking this one down.
Just our dangers MBR are...
You remember I was like that spot for it's a 1v4.
They always play like they know they're gonna win.
There's 20 seconds surely for no target to be at this point, can they?
He would have to clear so many corners just by running through.
It's gonna have to fall for him to think.
Does that have the darts with these given?
What a reed dog!
Some work with you, it's here.
I mean, Rossi could be in any of these kind of spots
when he hasn't.
Little's directed the needle perfectly.
That's a dart.
Now as a one section of the site is clear,
just in time.
You're right.
In saying read, not just the aim is the game sense.
It's not the greatest plant in the world,
but he's also gonna hear these footsteps
potentially as forward.
Take this up a position to link.
Come on to this one, V1, the one, V4, no.
Oh, no!
Oh, it's just Phil's mind. It's just Phil's.
Oh, I feel bad for them, Brent.
I feel bad for them, man.
That is an astonishing display of the individual talent.
Look at these kills.
Oh.
They force the fight because they know where he is,
and the triple swinging him.
Come on, show it in that moment.
I mean, he must be used to seeing stuff like that.
He's couldn't know.
Get used to it, across the rest of the season.
Oh, my goodness.
Don't go anywhere.
You don't want to miss out his one ends.
I'll be coming in a minute, though, I don't know where I stand
As it makes in the signals And inside of my hands
We fight and don't put my head on the chair
When we go in the humble but what do we do?
When we go in the humble but what do we do?
the
This is just being the one of the most one sided maps we've seen in quite some time
We saw what earlier to be honest. I mean it was just domination from energy side of things, but envy
The only buffer that they've learned is two rounds for a pistol round on the follow-up
Since then, M.I.B.R.
Even if it runs what they were in complete control, let's be honest. I mean that final one round 12 was just
just electric and goes to show, I think, the level of quality in terms of just game
plans that it might be out of there, but for them understanding of how Andy
want to play there, constantly working them playing a fiddle and making them dance
to their tune, but when it goes a ride, play a quality can back it up in rounds like
that.
In order to be considered a super-team, you have to have maybe many players, if they're
all of them who can take over a game, and just win you around out of nothing.
And I think you're seeing it, you're getting a demonstration of it right here.
And you're not expected to be a bottom of the barrel team in America.
I mean, they've already won a game to get to this point, you kick off.
And M-R-B-R, a treat in the music they don't exist, as if they are a fly to be swatted.
A mild annoyance on a pastor Santiago.
We're having to go here, isn't it?
I speed up towards the link.
It's going to be meeting potentially burn over,
because we're overextending itself.
It's slowly gearing up to get in the thousands
of a bit of an ace split.
To be meeting potentially that master of the Ball Zekin,
that's a paranoia ripped off, frenzy, running,
running, burning, burn-o-es.
You know what I started into this fall, extra?
Okay, just essentially sell a foot-sing,
but we'll reveal inside that smoke, Zekin,
for a reposition, but he's missed a target!
Rusty, still the number on him.
Cleaned up on his ena, but the damage done to him,
10 HP, not a lot of play with sharp shooting
is enough to be ordered up.
And not enough half to play with an spot like that,
MVP needed around like this to be one text.
Can I be doing it to him again?
Can I be dashing away their hopes?
Call an angle, he's fire.
Just trying to play off center.
Not clear, it's also a place where I'm not there for tech, so an upper pistol round
potentially give a better breathing room.
And we went double pistol, but they are still seven rounds down in the map.
It's just silly.
Please, it was just really easy.
I think Rossi did a good job dealing inside of the smoke there, and there was a completely
time in deck.
You have to laugh, don't you?
You have to laugh if you're Rossi that spot. I mean, you have no options. The other option is, uh, implied. Yeah. Exactly.
What can I permit here? I VR on the week. Bye.
Just trying to take it together so if they can catch a straggler one player just left part from the pack.
I don't know how to flash. They do reveal it quite a bit. That might be heard by exters.
This is going to be taking a back, has to be okay,
has to be worried potentially with this one.
Shop shooting, but he's way out into the open.
There's no happy to trade that one out.
Side game though, envy onto the plant,
and they're immediately certain themselves
taking a bit of deep, remarkable control.
A couple of players would die through a single shop
for the yellow here, pop in and in Spire on Lightama,
or region armor.
But overall, envy's positioning and the fact
that they got the plant should be pretty good here.
I think it comes down to a genuine question,
Do you even want to fight this? Is it my VR?
Because though it's 4v4 and you have an outlaw.
You don't really want to allow NV to get up to worlds.
And you're not expected to get too many opportunities here.
You'd rather die to spike, so they're just going to let us pass out of the look.
Yes, you wouldn't even hunt for that outlaw in this hand. That's a kill.
Oh, no, no, no, no, go for it now.
That's opened up the floodgays potentially forward.
That's a smoke forwards, get onto the spike.
That's only trying to drag these players out into the open NV.
I've got a control.
Go now, just being trying to survive that spike.
They've been pulled into, it's got like that, so...
Yeah, that's actually a really big value for Mabia.
Yeah, it might look a bit funky, but getting four rifles out of NB's hands, four weapons.
I should say, out of NB's hands is huge.
I mean, there's no bonus round.
Would you even want to be taken a bonus down 4-10?
I don't know, maybe you'd want to be forcing up into it anyway,
but now the choices ripped out of their hands
and casinets coming into this one with a bucky.
Extra's coming into it with a specter, you know, it's not good even though they're forcing it's a bit all over the place
I wonder why isn't it's going for a buck
Yeah, it should go for a sub. I mean two of your players are already forcing
Fast and loose
It's how extra wants to play this towards a main posturing perhaps that they could be more players
Yeah, you did this on the second round as well
I think as it's deliberately well bucket to jump onto something as head
Looks like it's a slow
Yeah, the tent is potentially flood in but look at that just feeling all the way back text is one overplay
give them some control.
Yeah, I might be out right now.
I'm really off for the retake here.
Did you get that quite a lot on a business?
Well, Texas job is just a hold down elbow control.
He's going to be tested again.
Short informant times like Utah is just a dry peak and dry swing.
He's going to have that flash again.
Rifles though, working out.
One for one, paranoia.
Next level of it, near sighted Rossi.
Jesus is to commit.
Rossi, you get the one, text though.
So, dominating 4 kills, 8 bullets,
closer to the corner,
Keznet and I, Keznet comes alive.
Towards again,
good chance for him, 1B1!
Ah!
That's what they need it!
That's the Keznet value you're looking for with this team.
That's the player to replace Keznet 0.
And give you big rounds like that.
The fifth on the board for NB.
Text all those tastes I've been the game plan does make sense
You're just not expecting cousins when I won't be three with a bucky tucked in the corner
But I think the game part of it will be a sense of you know, there's playing for retail quite a lot because they know that
And be gonna over push in post-plat and then just look at the whole
I'll be one to found there
I'll attack them.
He's been said that defend is not going to be rotating over to help me, which means that envy might choose this timing to exact.
We can call.
When will that bonus just give them significant inns?
Three bandits on the other side see if a new weapon can pose any danger.
You could time to bring it out full of down here.
Now we're flushed in towards the fact, Texas.
Just trying to play himself in.
The scene is also there alongside him, made?
Time is done!
No, no, no, no, no.
We're doing this.
He's even going peeking over towards every spot.
It's a bit wide out into the open.
Just trying to be controlled with the aim,
but punishing the end, rifles.
Very nice.
Fast reaction from Rossi Gossi is taking this place.
It's alone taking his fight.
The second was in a position to really train trade.
That one out.
Well, second's got a classic.
Oh, the made up of a shot!
It got the Guardian now.
It's looks out.
One way, Peel it back a little bit.
Because of that Guardian.
I pressed it to try and find this.
A flash to jump straight into a Rossi.
Don't let it in these lines.
We'll be able to find for another.
What?
OK.
We're going to, another rightful.
We'll look to see if you can survive in a spot like this.
But for envy, just keeping it going one at a round of the time,
It's going to be there, go.
It's about to get up to point at their dualist ultimate, so as well there are chances for
enemy to be able to respond, which he wouldn't have caught me.
That kind of coped the half time.
It was a pretty spectacular way to first off ended.
I don't know why now it's fun again.
We're already routing it's fun again.
I'm glad it's fun again.
But yeah it's fun to win, man.
It's fun to win.
You're taking away this next one though, they're really going to keep it going.
Aspus is brought down to 150 credits, second time, non-left in the bank.
Good possibility to break the economy, and the gold reserves are on in dry.
For active, I'll parade if in his hand scratch.
Start that's ability to chess, cause it has gone back to safety as well as the Aspus has it.
What covers in terms of his players that are ready to help him out, like someone's
ascended forwards anyway, dimensional drift.
Again, he's together to direction away, this is going.
I'd speed up to all 10, and rejoin in the rest of them, as you know, just trailing
his coordinates cornered out, wants to take the final exit.
Please, right into his hands.
I was bus is going to have to be fairly slow on this retake.
He's got an operator, his job just slowly clearing angles, creating these safe spaces
for his team.
But it's going to be on people like Texan's second to actually get the retake going.
loyalty.
My priority was an invention.
They just wanted to make sure they
have to link control.
That way, a sweep,
strop down from Hurnax.
Looking for out one beer,
we're going to have to cut.
isted."
Apart from lake floating in turn,
hidden by the Browns powerich,
the
Wiling and jumping was
It's a rare mistake, but a big mistake from Aspash missing the shot.
He had inspired court dead to rights, and then secondary weapons just a classic.
Wasn't able to apply the right level of pressure, and Spike had just swinging and
still eat the diffuser.
It wasn't for that mislob shot towards the edge.
This one is definitely on MBR.
They had that round right up.
Another 1v3.
Envy of winning these rounds in unusual ways.
I mean, I put the blame on us, but second also I had an opportunity to win a 1v1.
Right.
So, both of them to be honest, let's think slip slightly.
Envy, clawing their way back in.
Gotta take it one round at a time.
But it does look doable at this point.
I mean, think about stringing the leader rounds and might be on hard-dive match, drag it just down to three round deficit.
The big ultimate to work with, he got picked instantly in the previous rounds, so no opportunity to use that way, they old.
But now they don't have to worry about us, pass up. They can take a look at the economy.
That's to be honest with you. I thought it would be worse for him, I think. They can do this with four rifles.
I want to make a go, I think it's over towards B, but that is where the pit is placed
down.
I do not care, isn't it's old?
I'm going to go in now.
The pit looks like that might get gone.
Yeah, sure there's combustion paths, state bites.
The boss is going to be keeping all the way deep into behind them, he lines into this
spawn, so I can be a chaos, trying to take his fights there, a smokes, a smokes, a
smokes, burno.
Really?
I insulated with nothing like that.
How is he living?
Just be the bossy town, can I leave you so much though from a spot like that, he buys
time.
I'm going to be getting themselves back into position, it's a 3D 3D 3D.
The weapon dropped in heaven might be available for Zepa to pick up, especially if these envy play is a cowring inside a pit.
Yep. Deep pit. It's really difficult to see through, but again, this gives possibilities for the answer to just walk out onto sight here.
Zepa is not playing for the better weapon.
It's a connection, at least onto the one,
as well as onto the flank, just offset the movement,
and cast it, wins that out.
Critical one, be one and now,
it has dominated our main position, in V up to eight.
And MAB has economy will not be able to hold on now.
They are definitely gonna get knocked down
into a low-by-round.
This is genuinely on six rounds in a row.
No stopping.
And MAB are forced to take the tactical time out.
At this point,
Well, they're going for his generally awoken, and we have come out with some really good responses.
The way that they cleared through the pit was pretty beautiful.
Thank you, so the way they ultimate get deep in there.
You know that the vibe is going to get caught.
Or at least strongly suspect it's going to get caught in it.
Prime, and texture's a sitting duck.
Attack time out being used here.
Look at that, not so much for fraud to make adjustments, but to give time for murder to make the adjustments.
Yeah, he is rattling off the instructions to the rest of the team.
He's normally, you know, we know him is quite a quiet plan, just from the interviews.
But...
He's quite a person, but I don't, but he is a quiet player. Exactly.
Yeah, it's kind of, you know, kind of acting it to be honest,
because he has a lot to say in terms of what's going wrong for them.
It's such an interesting dynamic.
The verno, the least experience player on the team,
is the leader of the IGL, giving out instructions to incredibly experienced.
Yeah.
Legends all around him.
But when you look at what M.I.B.R. will take the love last season.
You look at what Vernon went to.
Did you lose faith in the love as well?
And the trust that ask us has in it?
Yeah.
Makes sense?
But the moment though, a serious struggle,
they do need to change things on the different side.
Because this is six in a row that they have lost.
Are they going to make the adjustment in this round?
Probably not.
Because this is just the eco.
You'd like this one out.
I haven't slightly different plant, but
into the next round around 20.
That's where we'll see what Vernon will try to cook up.
Sheriff embandits.
Spamble together a bit of a bite.
There's damage done out on.
Flashing a peek in through mid.
Big knife as well. It's going to be connecting onto a multitude of players.
So noted footsteps.
Sound made.
I hope you are alone with this fight camp.
Every four positions. No way you want to repeat this one.
I don't think we'll go for five bandits right now.
You want to go for this?
You know, this is a close drone.
It saturates good though, peaking into it.
That's fast low enough.
It saturates not only doing too much.
It's good.
Diligent.
Envy.
Make sure that they leap into this one.
Take these fights together.
On the same page the whole time.
That's crazy.
I thought that was 150, right?
Two left.
Receiving a text.
Envy.
I think have done the hard work at this point.
Get through.
Utility for both of you, listen.
Good.
It should be around when easily wrapped up, no, and be only trailing by one.
I think extra wants to be hunting for these kills if they're thinking about that kind of stuff.
It's difficult to optimize the details in the game like this, where you're on the comeback and it feels like everything else.
It's difficult.
You just barely keep in your head above water, so.
But in theory, getting the next result of my...
It's in the night.
I mean, it's not gonna take the round out.
It's gonna be going out to the Spike Ideally.
Oh, no, it'll be realisation there.
Damage done.
Don't think about this.
That's what the matter is.
Honomy really for envy.
Yeah.
Extended doesn't have that much money,
but the rest we see can draw.
So what is the adjustment to be dealt for M.I.B.R?
Time out was taken for this round in particular.
The retake on B set up, they've been
and punished quite a lot, really,
just in terms of trying to group up.
Yeah, I think B looks a little weak.
I think they want to be playing it for re-take quite a bit by the look of things.
But at the same time, and you've been winning a lot of,
and want to be three situations, want to be four situations.
There's been some strange rounds going on.
So, to not be our really need to change more than much,
Is it about minimizing those mistakes?
That's what the operator might be gearing up to take a fight here.
Especially with that prowler, unnoticed, that's pass.
Push back up, doesn't have that refractive off top,
but a light speed gets out of there, just like that initial pick.
Second, also for the reposition, shots a fire at off, second holding it down towards Elbow.
The storm is both at the Gretchen T.P.
It's going to be heard there on the steering into the corner.
Good attacks, good connections, Rossi.
He's left with devices left to do it all.
At this time, it's MBR slamming at door,
straits it at faces.
I'm very easy, didn't it?
Complete reversal of fortunes, but it might be R&MV.
I love the positioning from us, but if he plays that round,
absolutely beautifully, he takes a passive line at the beginning,
really safe and cautious, so the prowler misses him, completely out of range,
and then he creeps forwards afterwards,
Perhaps the easiest kill on to pop it.
Yeah.
I wonder if that reaction from pop it is mid-round like as he dies.
I wonder if that was right at the end.
Quite a reaction from the RGL mid-round if that was case.
I think it's just...
It was a show I think.
Expectations that they place on our own shoulders to try and get it done.
Bushing to your face, Ken's head.
You get the draw out of it, it's blood, he is swinging out wide, shares with it.
The only thing to do is we have to approach the pass.
That's what I'm trying to push this one.
I'll break it in hand.
Received a lead in flash.
Blinded.
Sees is good.
Try to release swing outs.
Clean a couple of these kills.
Bring it to a 2v 2 weapons and drop down to the ground.
But they don't want to go for envy.
They're looking to fight this one potentially forwards.
They don't have the guns.
It's in hell.
They might be off to protect the ball.
They know exactly what MV's game plan is.
And the plan doesn't start going down there.
Just hold and wait for him to play to you.
They do have such a good read.
I wonder what he would play.
They're one of the most aggressive teams from what we're expecting.
But even with the read, that still requires a very good mechanics from text to be able to finish that off.
Because the winner they play with Rossi jumping in and the next guy is swinging into trade is tough to deal with.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Definitely looking like he's in form.
I don't know, but he's still 25 season, but he looks good.
I might be just in one now.
See you up this series.
We've been tough for them to stream together a couple of rounds on this half,
except it's going to make it that much more difficult now,
the mental drift.
Counting for a couple of other players positions here in that fast forward,
reclaiming a bit of space, Bruno.
Steps forwards, find that he wins out with inspired going down,
hold on to Bucky.

trying to close up that neck kills for NVIDOS start coming alive and really activating
picking up the extra weaponry
Get a bit more control. It's around like this. That's much of a quick reposition.
You can sail from multiple directions. Need some bail out from Zekuba's second.
Is no more as fast.
Fick it rounds with that position, but the swing in the trades is perfect on the timing.
Rossi keeps his team in it.
Very impressive. The envy are keeping this one.
Properly close. After losing two in a row,
they immediately respond back.
The positioning, I want to be fine.
Well, they were getting pinched from every single avenue, two from spawn, two from a main, one in connecter, it looked like Envy was surrounded, but they rolled their way out.
And MBR using their final attack time out here to try to make again another adjustment.
Yeah.
This is heating up nicely.
And V, it feels like they barely able to get a stable by going.
But all of them have rifles, but they've been...
And keep it moving, keep it going.
It's actually on both sides right now.
9 to 10 has got too much money to be able to work with.
Right. So, NPU, you know, they just want the free to drown.
They're definitely going to be buying up here.
Obviously, Maviarra also at that point.
So, of course, they're going to be buying up.
But M, I'd be either themselves,
can take a half by a chil for a little bit.
How about the arloos on going ball?
Okay.
When was that one to eat it?
It's just exactly.
Not within the nipple and that one might go.
Yeah, I'll within the last half.
I'll within the last half, I don't think.
The time I was going to be ticking down in V.
I think it hard pressed again, but they are staying alive.
Still in this matchup against Joggenault in the form of MWR.
Is that okay?
I see Roffsey as an Alt.
Yeah, exactly.
Is that for an Alt and a deep into sport?
I'll be the case.
Are they cooking?
Let's see what play they might cook up here.
Critical rounds.
Bit of across row to here for the map itself.
That's what the peak.
Like a damage.
edge.
There's going to have to respect that one back once more, and be not willing to rush
into anything.
Pralor reclear into mids, if they can pull somebody's plays in a different direction.
Aspuss seems a bit of a strong read that the air pressure was fake, he's already rejoining
his team over towards B.
Yeah, I think that maybe I've got a good idea that Exters de-fought the side around, often
That's how it's been.
That's how it's been.
As soon as it signs of life, you're just going to be sent forward to that reveal.
And with the doors in Spire, he's doing the charge.
For once, it's a call.
Poppin' in here and then south.
This is over.
Potentially in the blink of an eye.
Second upgrade acquired.
It's going to be sharp and spotlight that.
But all the rounds buddy in be players.
Up to 11.
One more round to drag it to all T.
And I'll be out there.
Took a tag time out for this final round of the half.
The adjustment that they're looking to make is here.
When Aspas can afford an offer after the full rifle is available for everybody else.
So, empty, most difficult round they get to wait.
They've done an incredible job again back in the list of them.
Come on!
This might look impossible after the first half.
They completely shut out, but here we stand, what more round?
The potential for OT or series ending.
And here it is that TP into sport.
Yeah, play was good for here and this is going to be again pulling these N.I.D.
players out and around with Rossi, teamed up so early and then you're going to be trying to rush into this one
but it might be to their own atomized takes playing around it and just the aim, sharp, locks on to the
cranium and now he's looking for a little bit more with support but arrested a team.
It crumbles at the finish line, cascets left to do it for them one mile and a one V3.
He won and enormous round for the Merley or on with a bucky, but this one, even with the better weaponry, I think he's looking much tougher.
He doesn't have that position on sight. He's not going to be overlooked.
And the plant isn't down.
It sounds like this.
When you're on the brink, the precipice are just dragging it.
It's an extension that, the most tantalizing they rush into it and leave,
because they're in this spot of 1v3.
Refresitions to main, but there's a smoker line. That's it, second.
Locks off that lane, because it forced out to take a peek through,
Vernop might have just spotted that one.
I'm sure the angles are perhaps going to be feeding.
Needs to be supply, needs to be unreal,
near sight in everything being cut away from in many senses,
but he has to rely on to the aim, saturate his guards,
and that's bustling a little bit better.
And I'll be out.
It takes him 13 to 11 heavily tested.
Heavily brews, but they do find it plainly enough towards the end for two and out.
That final half of it again, we can be proud that they came back into the game, but
you've got to remember this and the first half word, completely dominance from MMR.
I think this was a really interesting first showing a super team in America's.
We've got to see some outrageous individual rounds.
We've got to see the generally have good teamwork, good ideas and a lot of debt,
but then we also got to see that they can bleed.
definitely so I'm not corroding did feel like that could have gone to overtime. It could have
potentially done the way the underdog making it an enormous comeback.
There's a lot to be said about envy themselves as a team that we're able to just rally
I think and it's what like that you're playing against one of the most anticipated teams in
America's right can idea.
Fanfavorites now in regards and then give up hogs they're able to really press them all the
way to the middle end, ultimately in my
hour, I'm finding a way through 13-11 being
a finished ward on crotes and take a bow
and I can move one step further forwards
in this upper bracket, that's going to be
really interesting clashes.
Well, in the upper bracket, I'm glad you mentioned
the energy against the NPRR, OK?
Now, we are just straight into the absolute
solo but not the games in the top bracket of
America.
Yeah, because that one partly anticipated
to go your chance and the two teams that didn't
were normally well at the most recent champions,
the game that they played at champs
went to Triple OT in two hours three of the maps.
And then LG ended up taking away and lifting the trophy later on,
but this version of them might be out very different to the one
that we saw in 2025.
But great, I think you got to say.
Yeah, that's...
No disrespect to the last year's M-R-B-R squad, which was good.
It's going to be in it.
Accelerated match, I'm sure, as well, we can see our two.
Two of our top teams I should say is well, I don't want to discount any being of a competition in the Americas
Right because listen a lot of teams are made up for a lot of teams are reinvented in the south
Everyone I think speaking to is said that America is essentially like condensed almost is not really any what I'm feet is any more
The top is getting more height compared to the movements one of the best season we've ever had in these the Americas
But you will have to wait almost two weeks for that match
It's a great place to get to the point.
It's a great place to get to the point.
It's a January bird.
I'm almost going to be tomorrow.
You got plenty of other good matches coming up though.
But yeah, the great teams like NRG, like MWR, they front themselves.
A little bit of a break to prep from matches like that.
Yeah, it's a lot of matches to be played as well.
What is the new kick-up format?
We're going to send it after the stage.
Elizabeth standing by for the Verizon post-faction view.
We're texting them.
Right, and so I show, and yes, I am here with one of the men at the hour.
It is text from MIBR.
Give it up for text, everyone.
And incredible performance.
Almost ages we got out of a preview, but they were changed more and more.
This is a text me.
I think we have gotten to know.
I wanted to talk about, you know, the end of last year versus now.
Obviously, the end of how I would love to be a ton, end of this year.
Last year wasn't the way you wanted it to go.
Now we see kind of this reintegration of text.
Talk to me about being on the MBR.
Now it's kind of like this, on this new team.
Yeah, last year definitely didn't end, you know, as well as a should of or could have.
Obviously I didn't play the best in the virtual league and as a team, once in my team was playing well.
So I really promised that to reinvent myself this year, work way harder than I did last year.
And yeah, it was going to be a nice humble humble lad, just game in this year.
Well, when you say, you know, I'm going to work way harder. What does that mean?
What does that mean? Aim training? Does that mean, you know, vaude review?
Because you already work way, very, very hard as a player. You have screens, et cetera.
etc. So what does that mean for you?
Just way more work outside of practice, honestly. Even though practice ends, like your
days and over, as a pro player, there's a million people in the world trying to take your job.
This kid's that are playing ranked for 17 hours a day, so I really promise myself that I'm
going to work really hard in in-skrims. I'm going to play a lot of rank, play a DM, and just analyze
my own game play, and try to be the best.
For this match, what did you see when you were working hard, you know your analysis, your aim?
What did you see to improve on a road to say, hey, this is great.
I got to keep on doing this.
I was just trying to be disciplined.
So I'd be a disciplined player.
You know, I don't ever be going to have to.
And you know, just be a good solid rock for my team,
because you know, I looked left.
I looked left and right and I have the best players in the world
on my team.
So I'm going to take over my games,
but I'm also going to be a rock.
So.
Well, Tex, you can hang.
Let's see if I really can.
Of course.
That's not even the better.
Just making sure we know that.
So because I want to ask you,
is you tweeted on near-zee of, you know,
So, 2020, 6 will be a journey.
What does that mean for you?
Does that mean hey, we're just going to make it all the way?
Or is it what is that journey that you are expecting to go on?
Does it seem like you know exactly what you mean?
It's just going to be a long journey.
One match at a time, you know, like...
Honestly, I just want to go the whole way.
I know a chance is a long way, you know?
You know?
You know, but...
That's the same.
That's true.
So when I say it's going to be a journey, I'm saying the whole year is going to be a journey.
But also with little chips in between, you know, I'm going to go to Santiago, I'm going to go to London, you know.
So, yeah, this is my journey is just improved.
I think M.I.B.R. is in the conversation where you're at super team, right? You are with the G.2s, you are with your next opponent and an energy you've had incredible game against cloud nine.
Where do you see yourself with this super team moniker amongst these kind of titans of the Valority Sports Ecosystems specifically in America's?
Yeah, there's a lot of good teams, but my team is also very good, so, you know, it's just
hover the day goes, river works harder, whoever makes less mistakes, and at the end of the day,
that's why we're trying to do is make less mistakes.
I think you so much, Tex, and we're going to send it to match point with Osposs and his
water boy, second.
His words.
Yeah.
Let's take a stop at that.
Always, always a pleasure.
Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for that.
Yes, we're here at Match Point.
We have two amazing guests.
The new dynamic duo of the VCT America's
Regendia God's second in Osmos.
Well, first in congratulations on the win.
Thank you.
Man, I was talking about this on the desk,
but I always take an opportunity to say nice things about you.
And I just wanted to say it again.
It really is impressive how you just,
you have so much humility spent to just step back
into a more supportive role.
While enabling this absolute base to do what he does,
was that a product of your own desire?
Was that something that was asked of by you?
Did you want to make that switch or like,
I'm curious how that came about, right now.
It was a little bit of both.
I was down to swap to whatever the team needed to play.
Yeah.
It was ready to be the, like, do everything kind of guy,
whether it be dualists or smokes or initiative or anything.
They decided that they wanted me on controller
and that'll be like the best fit for me.
I can still be aggressive,
but I can still be supportive as well and use my voice.
Yeah.
It's been working well so far.
Nice. Nice.
Ospoche, you have a phone plan.
Was that good out there?
I had a lot of fun playing for you, didn't I?
Clearly, the results speak for themselves, all right, guys.
So we're going to play a game.
You guys know I like to play some games.
OK?
This was very simple.
We're going to be taking, we're going to have a couple of takes
of rather on a variety of subjects in a quick game.
We are calling Pete or potential.
OK, so I'm going to give you a topic,
and then you're going to hold up the sign and if you think that it peaked, you peaked,
if you think it has potential, you put potential and explain, of course, how you got there.
So let's go ahead and start with the first one. We have the bandit, the newest addition to the
game has it peaked or doesn't have potential. That is a third option. What's the third option
for you? That level. I suppose doesn't like the bandit. You heard it here first? Why? Why don't
I don't even like the band it.
Like, Sheriff is just better.
Okay, most is better as well.
We saw you use the panific of the time.
It's nice.
I like it.
Except the one time I used it, I had poppin' for 130 and I died.
But I swear it's good.
I swear it's good.
And every other instance, all this thing is good.
I swear to you.
Okay, all right, fine.
So we have the third option.
We have potential.
Let's go to the next one.
Everyone's favorite topic.
Social media hasn't peaked or doesn't have potential.
I'm going to just call it right now and just say,
work cooked.
It's peaked.
So, social media has done.
We should just move on from it.
Everyone should adopt records.
Okay?
She got a record player and go vital.
That's what I'm doing, right?
I agree.
That's my 20-26 resolution.
Okay.
Next up, CRODE, is it peat?
Does it have potential?
CRODE has had some changes.
Potential?
What about some potential?
Sponsor?
Okay.
Potential.
I think, with the most recent changes,
people have them like fully figured out the meta
what's what's creating what's not yet fair.
We're still playing pretty similar to before,
where I'm like, everyone was spamming everything.
So the map still has a little bit of pushing to go.
Yeah, does it feel nice to just not have to turn a corner
in here, but the leg nonstop?
Yes, it feels really nice and I just instantite it.
Oh, yeah, that's good, sure.
Okay, next up, this one, the topic that is near and dear
to gamers everywhere, actually, maybe not so perfume,
as if peaked or does perfume have potential.
Why did we put this on there?
I have no idea, uh, potential in the Valorant community and more people need this.
So, I didn't say it.
I just want to be very, I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong, okay.
But listen, if you want to go with something, maybe a little no aluminum, okay, you
want to get a little natural sense, a little shape, butter, coconut, I don't know.
In any case, let's move forward.
Next up, we have greens brought back into the fold.
How do we feel about it?
Has it peaked?
Is it peaked now?
Or does it have potential?
Oswas.
Yeah, be with it.
First bris was the best one.
There's no holes anymore.
If there's no holes, it's not the same bris
that I know from before.
You don't feel, you don't feel like that beat
is your beach.
It's not the same.
It's not the same map.
The waters you hit the same way anyway.
Yeah, I don't feel free to feel the same way.
No.
Oswas was the only person that I knew that Mrs. Hals.
I love it.
Oh, my.
So I'm also, you like, so I'm gonna do this.
Like, just to use a factor ring or a tournament,
you can go house out at 24 rounds.
And you're gonna have fun in there.
Because you're gonna fight someone next time.
That's how it's done.
And the best part is when you buy an outlaw in house.
I think we just realize he just wants to shoot people
and long rounds.
That's all it really is.
All right, next up, Zoomers have they peaked
We're two, they have potential.
What is rumors?
The youth.
The young players, young players.
The young players.
Oh, wow.
I'm going peaked as well just for the old heads out there.
Well, why do you think that the zoomers have peaked us, boss?
I had no idea.
I had no idea.
Peaked us.
Like, depends.
How much is your senior about being a zoomer?
Yeah, I would say, what would be the age range now?
It's like 18, 18, 18.
I think they guys with 20 more, not going best 25.
They are better than they have once refaiting for sure.
Hey, you know, your wiser, you learned more.
Do you feel like you're a better player now
than what you were back then, both of you?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I love better.
Look at that.
You heard it here first.
Practice time, wisdom.
It somehow manages to get you past that next level.
Now, here's our last one.
are a sentient squad envy you guys had an opportunity. What do you think about this envy squad?
Peacul potential potential potential I say potential as well.
Sponsor how was it going up against them thoughts on the team just overall?
Well, they're super aggressive which is what we expected and when they're I would say they're very like momentum based like when they're going they're going they got like what?
Eight nine rounds in a row. Yeah, our defense. I think that a lot of potential still there so I can new new team
they just got a catch.
They have a way to go and I think they'll get a lot better as the see that was on.
Yeah, no, I mean, for sure, this team, we've seen them at their high when that
match against E.G., but of course, we'll see more of them as they progress in the bracket.
Speaking of, let's actually take a gander at that and the current bracket and where we are,
teams starting to fill out the middle as they fall one by one.
That might be our, though, we'll be moving on, face off against our world champion and
RG squad.
Zach, can you familiar with this seat, both of you, obviously, but want to get some
thoughts just on that NRG matchup?
You saw, I don't know if you had a chance to watch them earlier, but they look pretty
damn good.
They, I mean, they coaxing on on Pearl.
I'm excited to play against them.
They're obviously super, super good, and they added Kiko's playing really well.
Yeah, I'm excited to use that.
And by the way, so I'll see you just once to thank you for.
We have so many performance.
I wish I could rub his head around here.
Yeah, right.
It's the same here, actually, same here.
Yeah, I mean, for you as well as us, you know,
how is this experience now getting a chance to play with this M.I.B.R. team.
But now knowing that you're going to be going up against the world champions in your next match.
I like to play against the good players.
They are a single-fall out of good players, so I'm excited.
We are excited as well, my friend.
Guys, thank you so much as always pleasure
to catch up with both of you.
And, of course, we're going to be back here tomorrow
for our final two teams.
Are going to be entering the competition.
It'll be sexinals taking the stage for the first time
against FUTIA.
And then G2 Esports will go toe to toe against
100 thieves, two amazing matchups
to close out week one of kickoff.
Once again, thank you to second and
And I'll spot us for joining us and congratulations on the win, you guys, absolutely,
we've killed it, look forward to seeing that match against NRG, and we will catch you guys
by and early right here tomorrow. See you then, friends.
And RG takes to the stage in the VCTC for the first time since lifting that champion stroke
we just a few months ago, heading up against a C-9 fresh up a win, two on loud.
Looking for the half-sick year for the walk-down expires in a scene I get in kills.
They might go for a little bit more, but three players have taken to disaster!
Oh, no!
What the fuck?
What the fuck with them?
You can't go there with another little piece of crap.
And NRG would be another...
...tissusting.
Wow.
13-2 domination from our any chance.
And I was trying to...
What for something?
Stop!
Stop!
I'm going to beat a bull!
Trying to set him up for a drop jump in a lounge.
in a lounge, scuba weights and taking down on B.A. S.R.T.A.
Why would he convince me?
Giving him a pocket for him to do oxy reads and like a book,
C.9, they can real go at this round and their deck continue
as the smoke goes down on the sheet of foam.
The C.9 is getting out.
Two concerned about the splice, scuba, has plenty of time to make it.
Half in scuba delivers a fatal blow to C.9, the Red Bull clutch.
On a hell of a match, I think we got to hear that path to pro team in the front of the NV.
It's a really good to cut the team potentially against a team of M.I.B.R.
True and them up still into the cage is blind firing from M.I.B.R.
Obviously they can wiggle their way out of this one.
How worse are they going to lose?
No way!
No way!
Hey, Spass!
To play ground on the same thing, play it like you're making it's not done yet!
You're out!
Tonight, a hot-tock is supposed to be for him, please.
It's like a blowdown way in.
Everybody want the raw?
They got a plant out and they're the whole of that somehow.
The plant casino is just...
No!
No!
No!
Why?
13-7 for opening up in this one.
M-I-B-R.
Showing up a lot of ultimate years if he putting him to war.
No, bow down.
It's fun now, bow down!
No!
I like this!
Dr. Spongebob, why not one thing for a bow down?
Oh, my chest filled my texto dominating closer to the corner,
catching it tonight, catching it comes alive.
For it's again, good chance for a modern line.
That's what they need it.
If you're going to try to rush into this one,
but it might be to their own demise,
takes playing around in just the aim, sharp.
And obviously, you can run a little bit more
of support for Rinsertene.
It crumbles, but he has to rely onto the aim, saturating stars.
And that's awesome little bit better.
It might be all.
It takes 30 to 11.
