Okay.
Fingers crossed. Fingers are crossed, guys, that this is working.
I'm on a brand new setup, not my own PC, so please tell me if you guys see me and hear me.
Looks like the Twitch one is working.
And I believe YouTube as well. I believe. Hello, okay.
Okay. It does seem like we do have a working setup. That is something I'm thankful for.
Oh, it ended up here. Okay. Hello, guys. Hello. Hello. Hello. See, Anne here. I have
never been in a more noisy building. So I will tell you guys that up front, this building
It's insanely noisy.
So you guys might not hear me that well,
but I'm trying to speak as clearly as I can.
And also this quiz.
Oh, yeah.
I do hear that it's a bit rough in the background.
Try to maybe up my noise gate slightly,
but it's going to be better when we have cars driving
around and we have a little bit of ambience going on.
So yeah, boy.
Audio cuts when you don't speak, that is by the sign.
Else you would hear a endless,
like if I put this noise gate down,
it's like you're standing outside a party.
That is a bit of a party.
Guys, if you're joining the stream, I am at DreamHack.
I'm at DreamHack Birmingham.
I got invited to go here yesterday,
so a little bit, well, Thursday,
the day before the event. A little bit short notice on going here but I've got
myself a streaming setup. I've been recording some stuff, planning to make a
video when I get back home and I'm planning on bringing you guys to tour.
Let me straighten the camera.
Yeah so I think I think the plan is that we do no no audio sorry no we
We have a noise kit, so you guys have no audio at times, right?
Isn't this more pleasant?
Also, I think there's no way you guys are writing...
This is worse.
This is better.
I think like YouTube is translating all your messages.
Yeah, it was translating messages.
I was like, why are there so many Norwegians in chat?
Why are there so many Norwegians?
This is unbelievable.
And why are you writing to me in Norwegian?
I didn't get it.
There's some auto translate thing going on.
Okay, now that is better.
That is better.
So I'm gonna try to find us a server, guys.
If you're joining in now,
the tournament has already been running for a while.
There's a bracket that you guys can check out,
which has every piece of information.
And I can maybe have a look-see
and see which map match we are gonna watch.
So the upper bracket has already been played out.
We're in the lower bracket now.
And we do have, wow, we do have a very good match
coming up, which is packed my new friend.
And I did not see who the next player was
That event's not game, but that is already quite sick.
That is already quite sick.
Much background noise.
How do you, it's like I'm inside a rave,
but they're playing a lot of music on every stand out there.
So I don't know, we're just gonna have
a little bit of background noise, it's all good.
It is all good.
It's worse with the gate, I do trust you guys,
I do trust you.
Take your word for it
One actually do one thing though
If I do this I
Mean this is quite brutal not gonna lie
And it well
Yeah, I hear that okay that is a bit strange
How... oh, that's loud, that's loud, that's very loud. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry
for this, we fix. Okay. Test, hello, hello. Not so much better or am I going crazy? Is
this is better this sounds better and video RTX voice will filter all that up
is that an OBS maybe I can fix this in OBS
Let me see.
Okay, I put on a plug-in, it's a bit hard to speak when you hear yourself.
No, that's not right.
That's not right.
You can do that?
Dude, technology is crazy.
What?
I suppose you can hello everybody alright we are ready to cast
you will not look what is this
how is there a button that does this look look look
what okay I'm gonna press it off
now it's off oh that sounds terrible oh please
please do something it's all gone
it's all gone how does it know
How does it know? Welcome to 2021. Dude, I haven't updated anything since I started streaming, so that makes sense that I was not aware.
But yeah, we are going to try to find the server for the match that I'm interested in watching.
I'm just going to click a couple and get on the server.
So, yeah, it's actually too good. It's like creepy good. Oh, one moment. I almost did something illegal.
Okay, wait. Okay. The thing is, I installed OpenPlanet on this PC, and I have to remove it.
because OpenPlanet is not allowed for this tournament even as a caster. So I am going to get rid of it.
That is a good shout. Don't want the caster to get banned. Don't want the caster to be banned, BobbyBab.
Uninstall OpenPlanet. Good. Now we can join the servers.
But yeah, guys, this event, I mean, I can show you a little bit around.
I'm also making videos, so if you're confused about all this, I will have a video from here.
But yeah.
Hello, Mada.
All the players are back here.
They're playing matches, walking past intermittently.
Some players are up on stage, and then there's a crowd that's sitting over here.
And then I have some people behind the cam that are looking at me.
So if you guys have ever wanted to like watch a live stream while staring at me, that's what
some people back here are doing.
But it's great.
It's great.
There's so many Tremanian players here.
This is one of the biggest tournaments we've ever had, like the most stacked line-up
of players, $20,000 prize pool, and many fans have also traveled out to watch it.
So it's really cool.
Can we see a round?
I just don't want to change too much of my setup, but I could like try.
try to move the cam. I believe I'm on the wrong server. Give me a second. You sound a little
robotic. I think that's fine though. I think that's fine because it is a bit just, you
know, hard to make it perfect. So this is pretty solid. Okay, let me show you guys around.
So if I just, you can see that people are sitting on these bean bags, stage up there,
a bit blurry I know. And I'm over here. All right. So we might have players coming in
as well. For now it's just me, but if any player comes by, we're going to cast with
them. So it's spam closed spam was sitting. Oh, it's open. Spam was sitting on a set up in the very
back over there. He had this set up yesterday. And then I got to get it today. They had reserved it for me
initially. All right, let's also put on this scene. Hopefully it works. You know, I recorded
a video with Glenn earlier, he plays on the most curse resolution. That's what you're
seeing right now. Okay, that's better. And then I cannot block. Well, there's gonna
be top, I think. If the sponsor stuff is going to be the top, so I'll put my camera
down here. And let me just crop it correctly. Crop, so that it looks alright. Okay, I think
we're ready guys. I think we are ready. Blend the goat. Yeah. His ability to fast
learn is unbelievable. Can you watch Alcon scrappy otak Josh, which service that
it's not some more staff match. I'm down. Well, Alcon scrappy otak Josh, too many
players. That has to be the one. It has to be the other server. We got in. We're
staying here. We're staying here. Are they playing on the elite cup maps? Yeah. So
So it's the five tracks from the campaign, China, USA, France, Brazil and Greece.
And they're playing cup mode.
It is 120 points to finalists.
Four rounds per map.
No game sound.
Oh, I know why.
Thank you.
Yeah, I know why.
Easy fix.
Easy fix France.
Boom.
Oh, we have game audio.
Incredible.
Dehubs you are unbelievable thank you for the 25 gifted I don't have alerts or
anything or any you know thing I can look at but thank you so much for that
that is insane 25 gifted we have pics and bands coming in guys I will try my
best to keep you guys up with what's happening but pics and bands well
picks really there's no dance can I do this that's better why are all these
people in my room I don't know why why everyone is in my room it doesn't make
sense real quick I'm not getting you to chat and I do want to see you to chat
Then I fix that perhaps. Aha. Now this is perfect. I'll do it like this. Now I have both
YouTube chat and Twitch chat. All lovely individuals present. Okay. All right. Things are going
so fast. Unbelievable fast. Wait, wait, wait. Like, there's this really strange setting.
Okay. All right. Ready to go, I think. Match starting. It's us. We're starting with China
picked by OTAK. I do want to remind you guys what's crazy about this match. Look at how
Stacked to this. Old tack, previous world champion 2023, Alcon, crowd favorite on China.
Scrappy doesn't like this match so much, but we know Scrappy, a couple of day goat,
he's gotten very far in the elite cups, and Josh is well prodigy.
The crazy thing about this match is that it is for elimination.
If you don't get through here, you're actually out of the tournament.
You have to get top two to advance.
so that's pretty insane. I'll call place on keyboard, yeah. This is the lot, like to make
top 16, they have to win now. It's so brutal. It's like we are gonna see two of these four
eliminated. Mime, Snow, Nuke, Prime and Pac is the other match, yeah that's the one
we were about to watch, but we'll go for this one, maybe more cinema.
You keep trying to keep saying fix the microphone.
Guys, can I get your final opinion on this before the game?
Microphone is fine, right?
Is it that I talk too quiet sometimes?
Or is it the actual like noise suppression?
Is it the gate itself preventing my audio from coming through?
or is it the background noise removal?
Cause I kind of want the noise removed.
It's the best we can do.
I can also maybe put on a thing, but are we already going?
It's warm up still.
Warm up still, warm up still.
Trying to fix last thing.
Okay, so I mean to me it sounds all right.
Maybe it's clipping a little bit, I can hear that.
I can fix that.
Now I'm very quiet.
Is this better?
Slightly?
Test, test, one, two, three.
One, two, three.
I think that's okay.
It was slightly clippy.
We're gonna go with this for now.
Alright.
And, well, if there's more things to fix guys, we'll do it between the games, okay?
If it's more, we'll do it between the games. Now we're starting, I think, so go, go, go.
Every round bugslide. So the thing is, if you haven't been watching the tournament, some players don't go for it.
Carl, for example, never goes for the bugslide on China, and it costs 0.25 if they don't do it, if he does normally well.
On USA there's not that much tricks. Scrappy says that his pace here is really good.
So, interface wise, couple of new things. You can see the, uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, guys.
I do have to fix one thing. I was instructed on this. I do need to quickly do this. Hang on.
There is a rotating overlay I need for the stream which I have not added yet, but
you can see top left there's the world record and track record, a tournament
record, thanks.
So the top one is the overall time attack record, the other one is the best
time done in the tournament. I'm gonna real quick add this file so that there's no
no issues. Thank you guys for your patience. I knew there was something I
forgot. I knew there was something. They're still warming up though so no
No they're not, this is the first real round, oh shit, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, okay, I'll be quick, I'll be quick.
Uh, why is it not showing up?
Alright, old tag wins first round, 102, that's a great time.
It is not showing up.
Okay, let me, wait, let me do this instead.
No panic, we are fine.
Okay, I get it, I get it, I get it.
Boom, go here.
I'm going to miss like two rounds in this, but it's okay.
Download.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hang on.
Uh, it's supposed to be this, but without, uh...
Sorry.
I should have probably done this before.
Sorry, okay, we're almost there.
Oh, it's a good one.
Alright, I think we're good now.
I think we're good.
That took a minute.
Okay, we needed the sponsor rotation for the tournament.
Since we've been allowed to cast from the tournament, we gotta have that.
No!
Let's get back to the driving.
Let's get back to the driving.
So what's the format? Let me catch up the speed.
Uh...
Oyoyoyoyoy.
Does this work?
Yes, name tags, okay.
They're playing single player, first to 120 points, plus winning a round.
Like in bonk cup.
Like in world championship, finalist mode.
As I now look up at the screen, finally, we have
All-Tac in the lead at 24, Alcon at 19, Scrappy 15, and Josh only 11 points so far.
And, uh...
We will see who gets along the best.
This is an apt Scrappy side he really liked.
15 in the first three rounds, not terrible.
Josh off the side though has to respawn a...
Scrappy, All-Tac, and Alcon left in the race.
race. Alcon is such a hit-or-miss player. He either always drives like insane
World Record or he's not working and he misses in turns. So it's important for him
to get good momentum in the surf match. He does do a really good ice dirtflick
and is catching up to Otak pulling one between them into the downhill. Alcon
perhaps the favorite on the Neo Slides on keyboard gets the first one really
early. Otak still pushing. Alcon might just settle for a second here.
That's all right, Alcon, next second for a second as Otak is pretty far away.
PB for Alcon and Snipes it as Otak clips.
Nice. Nice, nice.
Alcon building momentum. That was the first four rounds of this match. We're going to the next
map. Thumbnail is very perfect base I'll do it after this side game. We are on
Brazil. Samba and Amazonas. We got the Parrots, beautiful scenery,
vibrant colors, and we've got a crazy reactor map. You will have seen this if
you played the campaign all the way through. This is the hardest author
that will forget, and the regular campaign is also a really cool map on the
post-rivate. But quite tricky with reactant watires. First thing, Bugsled uphill, fast
for Alcon, nice into the water, and then they try to keep fifth gear through here.
If you do, you gain a lot of speed into the water bounce. One, two, try to not
hit the bump on the uphill. Perfect scrappy. We go into the sand and then drift
through this right hander full speed out of it. Carry that speed into attack part.
Map is fixed together. There are no shortcuts on this map anymore so they're
not allowed to do anything too crazy. Great line that my strap is catch up.
It is very close. Three players between 700s before they go into the ending. Here, reactor floating on the river all the way to the finish.
Sharp turns and you really want to make sure that no wheel dips into the water. Last turn to the right here, Alcon in the lead, pushing that turn and gets there 103.97.
Very quick time as you can see. Almost matching the tournament record held by Carl with a 103.8.
and that's another 10 points for Alcon. Point limit 120. Am I playing? No. We are
just watching, post-streaming, casting the tournament. They're playing today to
reach playoffs and tomorrow as well. What's the secret of players is that, well
first of all, $20,000. Sick. But also the top eight players here qualify to
the biggest prize pool tournament this game has ever seen. So reaching top
8 is a huge goal for these players and right now there's about 20 players left in the tournament.
Strappy with great lines to the water there passing but look at this field I mean everyone
is there. Josh really has been struggling in these first couple rounds needs to find his flow.
This map does have those close good elements, catches a bit there.
just unbelievable while the gaps onto the sand point one between all four
first right-hander the equivalent scrapping otak scrapping up pulling away a bit
between the rock slalom inside line misses! Otak is gonna get the turn Josh
gets an important six scrapping probably shaking his head here not so happy
with that that was a big opportunity and the time was fast too
Well, I was always planning to cast so I wanted to but I got to know I was going here like
two days ago.
It was very last minute but I got to the castor spot so yeah, no, I've never really been to
many Trecmania lands.
They kind of happened in the old school days of the game, like 2018, 2017 were a bunch
of lands.
But in the last couple years after COVID there's been very few.
I went to a huge tournament in France called Ascension in 2023, and then Red Bull Foster.
But other than that guys, I've never really been present at these big trick-mated tournaments
with crowds and with all the players here, so it's so cool to meet everybody in person,
hang out in between the games.
And it is, you know, the highest skill is can you play well on land.
When you're not on your home PC, when you're sitting in front of the stage lights, can you
deliver?
Can you adjust to the pressure?
I'll come for the first in this one, looking for another can on Brazil.
Oh, that close, but not close enough.
Alcon wins the round by four hundredths.
Is Bren still in or out?
Bren is still in, to my knowledge.
is still into my knowledge. He wasn't upper bracket finally yesterday, then didn't get
through, so he went to lower bracket, but he's still in. Is that water? Yes, I'm having
so many nice people helping me out here with the setup, but I wanted to, earlier today
I wanted to move my dust like from being that way to this way and there were four
Handsome strong men that came and hopped out four people's left one dust I
Kind of was just gonna scooch it that they they have a lot of people on site to help
Since incredible
Strappy with a massive lead these splits are fast guys
Very fast splits here. You do look fun from slide snap in the downhill
try to avoid bumps on the sand inside land here Alcon crashes scrappy you can
almost safe at this point Josh is still there though doesn't want to miss this
drift again scrappy has it can Otec get second tries but not quite and a very
fast run by scrappy up to 40 points for him needs to not let that gap get
any wider to Otec and Alcon as they are almost halfway in the match almost
halfway on the match. Scrappy came to Brazil. He's his hometown. Some people would like to say.
Now we're going to Otax hometown. France.
Wow, records in the 106s now. Unbelievable stuff.
tournament record as well from one one oh six they did drive one oh six 90 in the
time attack qualifier for elite cup apple stood but to do it here's a
different beast we're gonna see low one oh seven being very good and small
refresher if you're not familiar with the map this one really comes down to
the half pipe jumps in the ending there are some high speed sessions in
to start as well, driving down this hill without losing grip, plus very close for Josh. Some players
will do a nose slide here, snap nose slide at the end like Otak tried, he missed, Scrappy had it and
now he's gonna slowly catch up again to the others, more speed, then we jump into the dirt,
downhill outside, click from Josh there, one versus one for the win, and then you can go
And though diagonal like Alcon does, or straight like Scrappy, diagonal saves a couple hundredths.
Very risky though.
Up to the last hill here, and then towards the half-pipes.
The half-pipes decides to round so close to low for Scrappy, I thought it was going
to crash.
Point one behind Alcon, they do triple right side, saves one or two tenths.
Scrappy catching up, Alcon under pressure, last jump, lower for Scrappy, but too
low, does not get to the round when Alcon gets timed, Scrappy with six.
And we have to see OTAK with 3 as well, that lets him get a bit closer.
This is standard World Cup format, yeah.
We're bringing back the classics, they've played World Cups on this since 2008, I think
Highless in month of this format.
And it's really unique, no other esport asset.
You score points, 10, 6, 4, 3, every round.
You reach 120, and then after that point you actually need to win one round to win the championship.
So you can give yourself a little head start by reaching 120 first, but if you get second
place, second place, second place, you never close out the match.
You need to win to close out, which is a really high pressure situation.
Next run out, Josh getting a lot better along here, no clip in the dirt, Alcon is still there.
And this is what I talked about with momentum, like when he builds momentum he is very hard
to stop, we're going into the half-types, first one a bit low though, almost clips,
second one I can't believe, he's daring, he clipped, he lost speed, that was too much,
that was a little over the top for Malcon, he still gets second, Josh wins the round,
7.5, Otec 3rd strappy 4th. Everyone within one second.
Crazy stuff, crazy stuff happening right now. Cool to see.
All right, let's do Siren of the Round starting.
Here we go. Hopefully name tags are given load in. They don't load in when the players are
to close to one another is what I noticed. There we are. Onward with Otak for this one.
He is trying this nose fight and it's very risky. You need to just feel how much you can
steer without steering too much, then you lose grip, you lose the turn, and the round.
He's great. Point one behind but it looks like a lot more. Jump, full speed, strappy
had to roll. Alcon, too high. Josh again, palms on the dirt. The ending should decide
this one as we do have...okay. We do have really quite split positions. Ending will
aside for Alcon and Ultaq. Alcon jumped too low last time. Now. Clips again! Alcon!
Oh and why are we throwing so many points in the ending?
Is Josh gonna get there?
No, too far.
O-Tak wins around 107-7.
Still, Alcon has lost out on like 10 points on this map just by clipping the end, you know?
10 points he could have had, but he does not have now.
Okay.
78 for Alcon, 71 O-Tak, 54 scrappy, 50 on Josh.
Top two go through, top bottom two are out. Straight up out of the tournament.
Low line there, very close to the wall.
And now the dirt slide. Oh, that's scary. Very wide. He saves it. He gets the snap.
Elton pulling away again.
This time almost low speed for Scrappy, Josh tripping the dirt.
Another time, once you have like a problem part, it's very hard to shape that feeling.
And look at that dirt part from Alclon, wow.
Out on the banking, lower airtime, more speed on the landing as well.
Point to the gap to Scrappy.
But Scrappy's probably gonna expect the mistake here, it's happened two times.
What's the third?
It's the third Alcon clipping again, scrappy closer.
Not quite as he lose to Altec here, it looks like it, but Altec may not mistake himself.
10 for Altec in the final round of France, so we hear a very happy celebration from somewhere.
I don't know what happened, but yeah, the feelings are strong, you know.
If you do well in this tournament, you could argue you would, you know, like doing
well in this tournament beats doing well in World Cup last year. It's a bigger prize pool.
And not only that, you also qualify to an even bigger tournament later on. So it's like,
it's unbelievable stuff for the players. And if you're just running the scene, they're
sitting right back here playing. So we are going to see some reactions to the back
of the camera as well. That entire area is dedicated to the players. And look at
this. They're doing the bug slide in rounds. They're doing the bug slide in rounds. Scrappy
and Alcon, I mean Alcon obviously. He was the only one doing it in knockout. Give him
cup mode and yep he's bug sliding. But Otak and Josh are not doing it and now you can
see the difference. About point two point three their argument is that the others will
fail it. Checkpoint time is there, they got a 15.7 now. The best you'll see is
point five, that is an unbelievable checkpoint. And around what you need for
World Record, Alcon with a better ice slide scrap, you lose me a bit of ground.
But holding on, ooh that snow was gonna tough, like it's gonna hurt because
he lost the gear as well. And now Josh is there, but with fourth gear kept
past him down the dirt this should be Alcon's round if he survives this jump
he is now very likely to win the round it's a great time as well at mid 1-0-5
anyone else in the dean bags what's your person that is nice if you are you're
in here in the hall 1-0-5 45 by Alcon fantastic time Josh gets second
despite not bug sliding right scrappy third otak in fourth 98 points now for alton
world record does have bug slide yeah gains about point two you can go on board for
normal way this time around if otak and josh were finalists then perhaps they would use it
you see now they're closer not perfect from scrappy and alcon and it's it's around it's
It's definitely not settled that they win the round with the bug slide alone.
Ooh, Strap, you missing the ice slide.
Otec overtakes, straightening out early, lowline trying to slide on the ramp.
And here, the gear is so important.
Fourth gear through the turn, if you can.
Otec lost it.
He will lose ground to Alcon.
He's driving phenomenally, I should say.
Like he's beating some of the fastest times in the elite cup and he's about to do it again.
This is uh, oh he almost crossed.
And this is a low 105 again.
Like this is Alcant's map.
The battle for second perhaps more interesting.
Joshua's attack.
It should be attack.
You can't really make up that much time in the ending here and the positions remain.
What's the time?
105 33 is like insane.
It's completely insane.
done two unbeatable times now, getting called the GOAT in its game chat by Josh. Can he keep
this up? This is his domain, absolutely. Next time around, on keyboard, he needs to tap,
tap, tap. Holds it, lets go, gets a nice flick, and I think that's his best bug slide yet.
yes about similar it's about similar strapping missed the bug slide so that is
the risk you sometimes have to pay for I mean he could clean sweep the map I feel
like he's gotten out of the start but the crazy thing is that he gains in this
next portion gains a lot of time here Josh made a big blunder Alcon clipped
the wall still in contention for the win somehow but this is gonna be close
through the dirt. Does he keep the gear? Yes both do. Similar for 2,000s apart on
the checkpoint with O-Tac at speed. And now on the booster. It should be. O-Tac
taking this one. We'll see. A fun little faster, but it's about how quickly you
can make the car stop on the booster and get push forwards. Not so much how
much you get, how much you get. And O-Tac wins the round. Make sure there's
no clean sweep and so important for him to gain those time while strapping only
S4 because it is about top two now that gap is 23 points as we approach 120
Alcon first or second place now gets him into finalist mode Josh put this art
again Alcon and scrappy doing the bug slide good first Alcon scrappy disappears
but it's still second. What is the start from Alcon then? Oh it's fast but not only that Josh and
Otec have crashed normal way. So now important. We're strappy. Maybe gain some ground back.
Alcon looks poised for finalist mode. He will know the splits. He will know the splits.
he will know he doesn't need to risk. Can Alcon drive one safe run? That is the question.
He does not get to attempt finalist mode on this map, which is fortunate for the others.
This is the last round of this map, but he does get finalist and it should be scrappy
second and otak third so the scoreline otak at 98 points alcon will be finalist
scrappy at 77 Josh at 69 very interesting it's such a hit or miss with
alcon this has been a big hit lots of time pointers lots of time pointers for
him and we're on grease okay so if you're not familiar with trick me you sports
all repeat what's gonna happen now one more time when you are in finalist mode
you've reached the point limit you've stopped scoring points in the match the
only thing that matters for Alcana was first place it doesn't happen if he
gets second third doesn't matter one first place and he's through if he
does win that one round, then the match continues. The others can deny him, and this is true for
anyone reaching finalists. Sometimes you have matches where all four players are finalists
and it's just a sudden death. We'll see what happens here, but there is a lot of pressure
when you get this red number on your car that means you're finalist. You get a 1. Can
you keep it together? Alcon, phenomenal on ice. It's one of the world's best at
that surface and also of course un-mixed.
Strak is lost a little bit around the start,
flat landing for Alcon, what's the checkpoint gonna be?
Point A checkpoint, also really good pace.
1-13 low here is being driven.
This continues, attack versus Alcon.
Josh dropping a bit back,
the uphill slide to the right onto the booster
and then two more turns and the M3 remains.
The drop down some of the tactless blocks,
Alcon pushing that line, nice turn on the dirt as well, can straight map early, get a big nose dive
over the path of the grass, should keep his lead, but Josh is coming close
This is the last part of the map, can Alcon win on his first finalist attempt?
Josh trying to push her head, gets a little bit of an awkward landing
Alcon with the nose dive, and it's enough, he closest on his first finalist attempt
and is through to the next round, insane run as well
to grab a point three, insane run
Very, very impressive stuff from Alcon. Dominant the entire way through. One spot remains in
this match. That's it. The other two will be eliminated. And it's crazy to imagine
one of them going out scrappy. Maybe feeling the pressure now. Hits the fans. One versus
one between otak and josh would give the upper hand to otak he did quite well in
this elite truck if memory serves me right
josh can't remember if he if you did
so far in the round it's josh and what a landing look at the speed now onto the
plastic that's point one now it's about point 15 straightens out towards the
booster. Otak trying to keep up but he crashes, he risks too much. Or he
hesitates. Free roundman for Doshir. Two seconds ahead. And he needed those
10 points badly. He needed these 10 more than anything to keep up in the
match. It is gonna be Scrappy most likely to look at how safe he's doing. Can
And Scrappy a 4 to go a safe, it looks like it, yep.
Scrappy will get 6 here.
And Otec with 4.
Otec now in a bit of an awkward scoreline, he's at 108.
So he could reach like 118 by winning a round, but it's a little slow.
Had he gotten 6 there, Otec?
He would have been at 110, one round faster.
It's like how the score line lines up matters quite a lot in these last couple rounds of
a match.
On board with Scrappy now, he needs to fix those issues from the start.
It's such a long race here and it's typically decided and yet empty in the drop downs.
Good eyesight angle, oh release a bit, oh early straighten.
It looked good to begin with.
Last point on there.
Coming back to a huge speed.
Josh on the inside line again, does that part so well?
The split a little slower than last time.
Still very high level in the match.
It looks like there's gaps, but it's one temp, you know?
How often do you lose one temp in a turn?
Like it can happen at any of these corners.
And the position's flipped.
But Josh might've come a bit alive after that win.
It looks like it.
Pushing away, point two into the end,
and he got a good landing last time. This slightly slower onto the first drops you need to be flat
and Scrappy's catching up quite a lot but he clips and now gets passed by Otak as well.
Josh wins the round. Otak second, Scrappy third.
Josh from 93, Scrappy on 90. Otak one, 14. Either a second or a first get some finalists
next round. This will be the last round of Greece. So Otec quite likely to be finalist
now, and then the others need to deny him to keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
Good early straight in there from Scrappy. The ice slide really cost him too much last
time, so now he needs to be more accurate. That's very sharp, but it's better. It's
a lot better. He was gaining from here and out so Josh made a mistake, Otaq now looking
quite likely to finalist. He makes a mistake as well. And for Scrappy this is exactly what
you want to see on the splits. Insane pace being driven actually. I was watching one
earlier match with Paak yesterday and he said that splits here kind of match Paak's
personal best pace. So this is quick guys. Oh, a little hesitant on the dirt. All good.
Yeah, remains. But this is also fast for Scrappy. I know it. Onto the blocks now. No wheel clips.
He needs to keep it together. Good on the first couple. And then this last one here is the
tricky one. Gets the nose dive. This is a fast time. Scrappy wins the round.
1, 13, 38, tournament personal best for him, Otaq indeed gets second place meaning he's finalist now
and Josh in third there. 100 points to Scrappy, 197 on Josh, Otaq with at least two rounds
where no one else is finalist but he can close this up.
We will see. Can he close it out here on his first try? Like, like, uh, Elkonded,
Scrappy needs a half trick. He needs three in a row, either on his own or working with Dosh.
And he has actually said that this is his best map. So, uh, the rotation lines appear for Scrappy.
He said this is his best map, he really likes it.
Now when it matters, wouldn't he come back?
Otax good here too, it was picked by Otax.
First uphill, pretty similar.
There's some bobsleigh magic he can do here to get a couple of hundredths.
With a wiggle out, looks like Strappy got it quite well.
And then the most important jump, the uphill jump.
They all landed, Josh straightens out early.
overtakes the lead for now. So close for the Scrappy. We're going to see them all
down the hill through Hollywood. They release for the early landing. Great
land by Scrappy again. He is finding flow here. And the ice there. Oh Josh is out.
Only Scrappy can keep his own tournament hopes alive. Otaq has a great chance to
close out. He goes for an early uphill inside line. It's 0.1 now. I don't know
Scrappy can do this! It's a big gap for the identity. The ice dirt flick went wrong. Josh
crashed out and Otak is just pushing through the turns last corner to qualify into the next round
and he gets there. Otak eliminates Josh and Scrappy and moves on into the next round to get him
with Alathon. GG. GG it wasn't the ice and dirt. 0-7 for Scrappy. Not the tournament results
he was hoping for of course. But it is so volatile in these round skies like. You will
see some of these lineups for the matches and you will just think, but there's no way
these guys are playing and it's not a grand final. You have matches that look like they
could be a grand final and it's like round of 16 lower bracket b match you know it's unbelievable
what we're being treated to here so we should appreciate all the games
that looks like the looks like the servers are full so I cannot join us a co-spectator on the
remaining games but we can check the results that I've come through
So I will get you guys up to date on that. We were a bit late then apparently.
Alclon Ohtak advancing in the pack, Neutron, Mime, and Snowbat. Oh, so there's another
result now. Some guys just running away.
Not sure about the mime snow, new kind of mime going on. Maybe I can get a join link for that by the admin.
I will see. One moment.
Okay, mine isn't as blending run. I wish I could see it. Are we going to cold stream
someone's kill stream? Is that what we're doing? I don't, I don't have the server
doldling. So I might have to do that guys. Maybe we improvise. It's a great skill
the streamer to be able to improvise. Alright, let me do this. This one. Let's see if anyone
I said, it looked like spam had a first second, but maybe just finished.
Huh.
What about this one?
All right, there's apparently a small break guys before round of 16.
So they have indeed closed out the mattress.
I'll pull up the bracket for you guys.
Can you see it?
Here we go.
Should be this.
Right.
So we can refresh now.
again the following tournament, this was upper bracket yesterday, banks and epos advent through
Masa, Runaway as well, and then we had Carl Jr. and Carl Jr. and Glenn and Madan Mosa on the other side of the bracket
and if we look at the overall, we have had the lower bracket matches now
So the one we just watched was this one Alcon and Otaq through. There was the
Bran Jadon Coco Lethser game, I don't know what happened there. And then there
was Dissu. Where's Tween? He might. Oh, he won here. Yeah, he was in this game.
But here, Pustitopaco and Hiva Advance, the tween is actually out.
Bren and Jadon won and Pac in Mime, okay.
Oh, we are going to have a sick game.
Bren, Jadon, Otec, Alcon in this here.
And... or does it reset now? It might reset, right?
Yeah, it might reset.
Yeah, it's the playoff, so they're gonna reset it. Wow. Okay. Oh, exciting. Yeah, here. Here, on the left here, we can see it.
Binks, Gwen on the same server, Grenade, Mosul on the same server, these guys are on the same teams. That's crazy.
Prod. Junior Wolveshouse won. Madaappos. Madaappos, that's like a World Cup final right there.
Are you rooting for Brandon Mada? Well, of course, but I'm also un-partial in this.
Like, I'm just here to watch Contrack Mania with you guys. Cast it, have fun. But, you
know, when you believe in players and you want to sign them, it's fun to see that.
I was right. I knew it.
Have we ever had the stack of playoff?
I think like, I mean, world cup group stages have been pretty crazy before with 16 players, but it's just that like the top 30 here at least are unbelievable.
Like there's only, you can only maybe argue like a few world class players are missing. Maybe Afi, maybe someone else.
Hack just passed by with a big smile, so yeah, I think he's through.
No, it's so crazy. It's so unbelievably crazy.
Let me put on this camera for now, guys.
If you're just running, I'm at Dreamhack.
Spam said this will be the most single, single most stacked tournament we will ever have, and I agree.
agree. Not even eSports World Cup. Yeah, because you can argue like it's it's so many more players,
it's harder to win here in an open 30 plus pro player tournament than after the fall
is like, of course, you have to earn your spot there. But I wanted to pull up this to
show you guys here. Like if you look at the elite cup rankings, everyone is here.
except maybe Uffy, Tona as well had a good one.
But yeah, most of the long-time pros
that are actually competing aren't here.
Most of the ones that have like relatively good chances
are here.
So, top eight will just automatically get an EWC spot
in the tournament.
Did it fix the bug on the water map?
What's the bug?
Just like if you'd crashed like an edge or something.
I don't know. But yeah, we've got we've got some 20 minutes. We could maybe try to try to reel in someone
for a quick interview. I also need to get some water before the next round.
Are we watching the Mota apples match? We're just going to see
when they update the bracket fully. Who that match contains. We know Mota apples, but I'd
I'd love to know the full updated bracket after.
Well, guys, I'm gonna go to the afterness right over here.
Give me two minutes and I'll see you the matches fully
because you asked them up to date already.
you
you
Okay, so update. I am now aware of the matches you will guess will not believe this lineup.
It is in the first one. I'll try to remember. Okay, let me see if I remember. It's so crazy
to say this. Dinks when, Bren and Hussi Topoko, I believe. Carl Jr. Wosao Elton, and mine,
I think it was. Noda Epos Path, but Noda Epos Jadon, and someone. Wait, it might be
Mada Apple's Packed Jadon. Mada Apple's Packed Jadon, I think. And the Grinotti Mosul, it
has to be the remaining players. I think he was in this one. So there's like a triple
French match. There's a triple UK. But I think it's this Mada Apple's Packed Jadon. There's
Google Doc around where it's live. Yeah, I have that one. Are you allowed to show that one on
stream? I don't think so. I can pull it up on my phone at least. I don't think I'm allowed to
show that on stream. Don't leak anything. Spam is showing it all the time. Okay, so it is fine.
Well, the Google one is not updated, right?
It doesn't look updated.
If it is, I am not seeing it.
For you, it's updated. Wait, let me link it to myself.
So I can open it on PC. It's a bit tedious, but it will be fine. We have about 15 minutes
they said until the next game. So we do have time guys. I'm also getting some water. I
I mean, things are great.
Things are great.
Where is Otak?
Otak is in the, oh, I dare not say wrong now.
I don't think he was in the,
no, he wasn't the first one, I think.
Binks won Otak.
I think that was the game.
Oh, right.
Oh, wow.
Ohtak is with Granadi, okay. Yeah, now it's updated. Now it's updated. Guys, prepare your eyes. Flashbang incoming. Boom.
It is. These are the masters. Binks, Wen, Bren, Poco, Granadi, Musashi, Ohtak, Carl, Wolstow, Elton, Mime, Moda, Ethos, Tach, Teton.
Let's, you know, I know it's bright, but let's appreciate the information.
Even though we're, we're burning.
Here we are.
It's so unbelievably stacked.
I'm leaning towards this one, you know, I also think this is an unbelievably good game.
You have a lot of the youngsters there, like Gwennon, Proclin, Binks are some of the youngest players.
Gwennon is well fun to watch.
You're not a Masahibo attack, it's like the German match, you know?
It's a shame for them, they're both in the same bracket, but maybe they can both make it.
Carl Wolff saw out from mine, we could watch this one as well.
But I do actually think the 1 and 4 will be the closest, is my prediction?
I mean, match 4 is nuts.
Match 4 is nuts.
If J-Dom makes it through there, I mean he's the king.
That lineup is unbelievable.
You shouldn't count on Dayton. You really shouldn't. He's very good.
Can you cast or show one each? Well, it's a good one of this that way.
Yes, you guys can like hop around, but I don't know what the others are planning.
I think I'm going to go with this one. Muddub versus the UK.
It doesn't, we are in the UK, home crowd, you know.
Also, I don't know if you guys can see the countdown, but it's in 11 minutes.
11 minutes till we start. I wanted to, yeah, you can see the timer. Maybe you can't see
it. Now you shouldn't see it. Yeah, whatever. Whatever.
Oh no, it's not an interview. It's tween and whizzy talking.
Should we bring in a player guys?
Should we bring in a player to hang out with them?
They play at the same time? Yes, I believe they do.
Could be fun.
But maybe. Let me ask, uh, let me ask tween.
All right guys, I have a tween joining me.
One of the all-time TREKMANIA legends, if you guys don't know Tween, you've been in
how many World Championship finals?
It sounds like a very arrogant but I don't really hold out the count.
It's like a 5 plus, right?
It should be 5 plus.
Yeah, so how's the tournament been for you?
Because I haven't seen so much, but now we have the top 16 and you just played right?
Your last game?
I mean, I just played my last game and I mean, I think I had a chance yesterday
against Eve in the winners bracket final.
People are saying, Mike, you want to try?
Oh, yeah?
OK.
I'll just try like this.
Or you can just talk below.
OK.
OK.
I'll try.
Sorry, yeah.
And yeah, I think I had a big chance yesterday with
Eve, and I mean, it came down to the wire.
Like, Eve is really good in those situations, like
finalist mode and stuff like that.
And he's also a very good, like, I guess in his best
like a more wild style, right?
And I mean, in this match he had a perfect opportunity to show that off, so it was like
pretty much impossible to go up against that for me because I was like 40 points behind.
Yeah, and then today, how did you feel when you played today, was it like the same?
I knew I had to kind of like hype myself up, especially in the first match because like
I had more time to warm up and I just knew that yesterday I wasn't fully like, my nervousness
was maybe like a 3 out of 10, right, and that's not good, like you won't like a 6 or 7.
You won't be nervous.
I actually didn't mean to say that.
No, I have full session of warm-up.
Yeah, so I was trying to pump myself up in the warm-up and then kind of start like
strong and I think I got it, I think I got it in the first match.
Yeah, I mean it came out of the wire with Stoofts, I mean it was actually a pretty close
game with all four of us, I mean there was Pac who got slightly ahead at the end but like
yeah I was really happy to actually get a finalist round down this recently and yeah
At that point, I was kind of happy with it.
It wasn't an embarrassment for me to go out next match, but like next match I was really
struggling.
Like those are great players.
And it is so stacked.
I mean, is this the out of few been to many world championships and everything?
The level now and the players that are here is this one of the most stacked you've
ever been to?
Yeah.
one or two players that are missing from the very top 32, I would say.
And other than that, it's just like absolutely insane level and everybody is really just like
pushing for the...
I mean, I think many people view it as the easiest way of getting in.
The easiest way to get to the EWC.
The EWC, which in turn makes it the hardest.
Yeah, because everyone wants that. Oh, I just win this tournament and I'm fine, but it's not so easy.
So, now that you've played the Max lot, you've seen the players. We're about to hop into this game here, Mada, Ethos, Pac and Jadon.
Do you have any prediction you think for who's going to go through here?
Alright, I might be very off, but I think Pac is going to struggle a little because I think this is like a halfway point of the tournament for him.
for him and I think this is this is the moment he's starting to get into like
the zone yeah but he's gonna be like very much like dampened by by Moda and
Epos and like as long as he doesn't bring his absolute A game like he will
struggle a lot and it feels like they excel on the same type of map so like
He does get a bit by the arc maybe.
But Pac is amazing in the finalist mode.
He can always just like bring out the best out of himself.
So I think we're gonna see one of Mordor and Epos, I can't tell you which one.
One of them will push ahead, maybe gonna favor Mordor slightly.
And then we're gonna have like a crazy Pac showdown with three finalist rounds in a row
where he does like super crazy times and in that in that a while like Jadon maybe
Do you think he has like an outside chance and it would be crazy if he wins this like it's through here right?
You mean Jadon? Yeah. I haven't seen him play actually like at this tournament because I we are in the other group so
unfortunately I can't really tell like I mean obviously he is far into the
tournament so he has to be playing well but yeah he's kind of the outsider and
like his only chance is well only chance but like his big chance is if the other
three like kind of struggle with the finalists. Yeah and if we just look at the
other map just to is there anything that like stands out to you any surprises
or people you play against like this guy is gonna go very far. Yeah I mean
I mean he has some, he has some like, if he irons out the, I guess the starts of the matches
I think like he's closing like final rounds are crazy, but like oh he's kind of, he might
have the hardest match.
Yeah, because he's against Granadi, Masa, I don't know, but you still think he has
a pretty good chance there?
Because on paper I would say, I think Granadi and Masa has played really well this
tournaments so maybe I should say both of them go through.
Yeah, I mean I'm gonna predict like a like a three-way fight, Granady, Masa,
and then all of a sudden he will just come back and like the finalist mode
Yeah, do three bugslides in China and yeah.
No, but nice. Okay, it's fun to get some predictions. I do want to ask you as well while you're here team.
Go for it.
Will you ever go back to EO5 and Druids?
Yes.
You will?
I was actually thinking about it and I mean I was thinking about doing this earlier but
now we have this like you know the curse of having to play these tournaments so yeah
You should have some time you know you'll find and take it back I mean at the latest
it should be December yeah okay and I mean if there's time in between the tournaments
maybe but like December is like that is really happy to tell people the people
want to see the EO5 record again it's 5320 yeah I mean that's the goal like I
think that that's the last barrier yeah then 10 seconds on that oh my god yeah
no it's if people don't know this like a 53 minute long track in nations forever
and the record is completely insane it's two tons of the second it's 1400
1400s, one time second of heart between tween now and second and demon and first so
we're rooting for you to get that back as well tween but uh yeah I mean thank you so much for
joining and uh hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend as well. Thank you virtual, thank you chat,
have a good one, enjoy the tournament, I enjoyed it and uh see you around. And if you want to
record later after the match is done that will be amazing too. Of course, let's do it,
Alright, tween plesher as always. Thank you for joining us.
Bye guys.
Okay.
Guys, it says two minutes on the timer, so this is quite good timing.
I am trying to record with as many pro players as I can.
I'm doing a challenge with them, which will be a YouTube video, so forgive me.
It's so cool though to be in person with all these guys because like I've known them for years, they're very pleasant, but I don't get to see them so often.
We don't have many tournaments we travel out to. I travel to Twitch comms where I meet a bunch of streamers, but we don't like have a Trekmaniac font, but this is a bit like that in energy.
So yeah, I need a heave interview now.
Yeah, I'll pull in people when they're around, but it's going to go on a rolling schedule now.
Match one completes straight to match two.
I think they're playing two more games today.
I think that is what is happening.
So yeah, successful handshake.
You know, was it sweet?
No, it was Kappa, I think.
There's one that is historically Bob.
I can't remember who it was.
2018 Handshake.
It was an unfortunate one.
But we try to make it very clear.
This cannot be misunderstood.
The chair behind you said, I will.
Move it out the way.
Wasn't it Sweden with Kappa?
No, Papua was part of it, I think.
revolution
it's not a plane today yeah we're gonna watch this game so I'm gonna get on the server now
thing that has to be server 4
set up on stage
banks and glenn I can see in the back here
oh they're doing
are they doing all the players on stage yeah
yes of the
the banks glenn
uh...
brend and to see the program actually on stage
that uh...
binks is
they're close to the camera
that is brend in the whites and that is to see the parkour
and they're starting a second
also crowded over here behind my
and my lights
and the rest of the players are
same
it's still see
back there
back there
so yeah
and I'm here
alright guys let's uh let's turn the server
let's turn the server
if we can
holy Brenna so hot he is
he's a child
He's a tab before but like all the surfing and all that you could tell has done him done him justice
Oh guys we actually have 12 minutes we have 12 minutes the next round is now until 340
Do I pull in another player?
here.
Did I pull in another player, it would have to be someone who's knocked out.
Here's some stories maybe.
I could try to ask Scrappy maybe he doesn't mind.
I also understand you know if he's tilted.
I can try to find Scrappy maybe he might be fine.
That might be fine.
guys I found another player to introduce you guys to we can see ourselves here this is
was he indeed indeed and I'm sorry to pull you in at this moment I know it was
first one is waiting but how do you feel after this tournament I did I think you
know what I could have gone further yeah everyone think about everyone
there you go like it's so everyone's changed so hard for this yeah you know
there's 40G players also and every single one can go far so
People are saying it's the most stacked one in like years and years
Yeah for sure. I will say like okay maybe I got a bit unfortunate that I had Eve and
Paco who are like top one players of China so I didn't know well
I'm not too unhappy because I played well but it's also just a format and also I should have changed the animal.
So you have one of the more complicated setups. You have a steering wheel and how is that when you're travelling out to the land and rigging it up compared to your playing at home?
Not so much. I mean on the first day maybe a little bit
Yeah, but I think by then I had the music on I was I was chilling having a good time
Had to be honest once you you know once you get into the vibe off things
Yeah, they're kind of okay, so I think it's okay by by the end and the confidence up to be honest like
I don't know. I don't know if the match was in stream. I'm not sure
No, it was at least not the one I was watching, I didn't see it, but I spoke between, who was awesome, and he said like, yeah, it was kind of crazy how good he is at finalists, you know, he's like, yeah, um, but like even, um, so basically the map order was China, China, France, which is, by the way, China, France, USA, um, and then I picked USA to try and boost
Brazilian Greece, they're my two best maps, and yeah I was to be honest I was
just lucky I had one round of finals on Greece which was just happens to be the
round between just peaked on. Yeah, so, bit of a forster. It is what it is. If you
look at the rest of the tournament now, is there any player that's like really
impressed too that you think is gonna make the top 8? I mean obviously
could say for all but like is there someone else you know, like he'd for example you think?
Sure I think to be honest like I might get some some flame you know what I'm saying is
I want a heartache, anyone's heartache? Well wait so I want to talk about Bren a little bit.
Yeah, talk about Bren. Just because I feel like he's had a lot of uh flak.
From previous mode tool uh from the one that's right yeah previous mode.
This modder just decided to play out his mind.
Not a play to say in the last minute of the game, and Brent had an unwavered spin for F1.
Yeah, but even so he was still there and stuff.
So I think sometimes he gets labeled as like, oh maybe it's a rater-owning sort of player.
But he's shown here that he's so good.
Like the group B final match we watched yesterday, he was so good.
Like Brent had F1's chance there.
Yeah, he got, again, a bad fortune with the format, he just couldn't fight closer.
And then it was Alton and he was hoping for Alton to deny it and you know I think he will go very far here too, he seems also just you can tell someone's mentality I feel like that they're more relaxed like he's first form but he's very zen, very zen.
I mean you see him like when he's it's not like Pac who's who looked angry when he plays like Bren is very
He's very thought he looks very methodical. That makes sense. Yeah, my pack just looks angry
to be honest like I had him next to me and he's just
Like looking down
Now I've always been told I have like a very serious like expression when I focus I've seen this yeah
different ones I've seen but even Brenna is most focused it's like
like he looks like the most approachable person ever for sure, that's good.
Okay so Brandon's prediction going far, we're about to watch the UK battle, we're about to
watch E-boss, Pac, Dayton, yes it should have been E-boss as well for the four but who do
you think makes it through in this match, what E-boss, Pac and Dayton?
I think E-boss is ridiculous, E-boss he's got the confidence as well, I was
Is that like eating with him yesterday?
And he's in his comfort zone.
In terms of like the time sort of people driving,
he feels he's up there.
It's like, you know, the highest experienced confidence.
OK, yeah.
OK.
I mean, that's got nothing to do with mental.
It's just like, I know, yeah, I just love when he wins,
like he won as soon as I got to fight him.
And I was like, jump, scared by it.
Because he's like, boom.
Yeah.
Yes, that's all I think.
Not us, I like the entire literature.
No, we don't have to play at all.
It's just been hanging out.
So that could be a good thing to be about, right?
Yeah.
And then you got Jadon as well, so like the outside chance.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the thing with Jadon is, he can be so consistent.
Yeah.
Like, like, Loki, if you can, I mean, but the base will be insane from now on.
Yeah.
I mean, it's been insane the whole weekend, but especially from now on,
like with the top 16, it's gonna be ridiculous.
So I don't know, maybe people over push
and Jayden can just chill, have a good time,
maybe have a cup of tea, you know?
I mean, there are people that don't go for the riskiest stats
in the time of Buds Live or such,
so maybe if the others push each other too much,
I can be something.
Anyway, it's gonna be a banger,
We're really excited, starting in three, four minutes.
Do you want to say anything to the chat, Wissie, before I let you go?
Yeah, I think just thanks for the support for those who kind of looked after me.
Supposed to be, you know.
Obviously, unfortunately, I could have gone further, but everyone's going to think that.
There are so many more tournaments, and now, after all the eight players qualify,
You best believe I'm going to be hate watching the top eight.
I need those.
I need a car to qualify.
You're just rooting for them to qualify this year.
So it still means I have a purpose.
I can't just go home and dance.
Purpose now actively hate watch.
Exactly.
You've got to do it.
It matters so much, right?
I get that.
Anyway, it's been a pleasure with you. We're getting on the server.
I feel us. Thank you for joining this quick interview. Thank you. Have a great day as well. Thank you.
All right, friends. That was Lizzie, who almost made the top 16, could have been on the servers.
Always pleasant. I had a brief dinner with him and some other players yesterday.
Fun to chat to. He has some secret talents, which he did not get to show us in this
interview, but which I am impressed by every time. For example, he can make
car sounds. He can make very realistic car sounds. You guys want to stream some
time? You should ask him for it. Hand shake, yes. I do ask, I do ask people
for the handshake very clearly. Sometimes with the fist bump, it goes unnoticed,
with the hat hello the goat I'm getting called to go buy some people behind
the camera cool um so what I was saying yeah if you don't go for the handshake
things can be misunderstood things can be misunderstood
K-Doctors? I don't know, I don't know. It's quite an awkward stream setup because behind the cam there's just, like, you can just stand there, you can technically stand, like, as close as the cameras, and just stare into my soul, and it would be perfectly legal.
that's that's fine so I'm just trying to keep my eyes on the screen so that I
don't don't make eye contact
let me just see if I can quickly change the thumbnail on YouTube we are now in
In the top 16, I got to send it to myself real quick and then I will add it.
Think I'm using the wrong mic?
Do you know how loud this area is?
Let me show you.
Let me show you.
This is an almost impossible situation.
You will not believe how good it actually sounds when you hear how it sounds to people who are
here.
Look, look, look.
This is what the room sounds like.
And I could make it, I could remove a noise gate and it's even louder.
There's just a constant unt, unt, unt, unt, unt in the background and there's oubou
and then there's an announcer going, please go to stage.
Mr. blah blah blah, please go to stage.
all this stuff we're trying to remove as many distractions as we can. If people
think this sounds better I will do this one but I kind of you don't hear the
worst of it now when you hear the worst of it you'd be like change it back but
well I suppose keep this for now until the worst of it happens. So far it's
fine it's just this incredibly loud announcer I mean people could hear him
outside the venue I swear he's so loud so fine we'll keep this for now people
like it I am a man of the people I hate this before it was better
Please change it back. Please. I also think the other one was better. Now you have the announcer listen to this
Isn't this insanely annoying?
Please go to stage please go to stage
Immersive now I'm gonna change it back
Immersive if that's the best where do you have I gotta change it back?
If it's not pleasant or nice or soothing or
less jarring
Immersive
Man, it's really like I'm in the middle of a tank
Okay, I think the only change I will make
is give myself a little less gain
because then
I don't peek
Maybe it does sound like I'm inside a box right now
like a tin can
That is just something we have to deal with
But all good all good all good
One more thing while we're waiting for warm-up. They should start any moment now
They're doing the picks first pick by mudda
He picked France USA picked by apples Brazil by packed
Jadon picks China and Greece is the last map guys
Because we are starting, if you're just joining in, this is one of the most all-time stack
trick main tournaments we've ever had, and this is about to be one of the best rounds
of that tournament.
Epos, Jadon, Mudda, Pat, top two go to Winner Bracket, bottom two go to Looser Bracket.
There's been a Bracket reset, you can afford to lose one game here and still make it.
It's not going to be any easier though, if you drop down, so go, go, go.
Go, go, go. Starting on France. I believe it was. Two players win, yes. And if you're
not familiar with the format they're playing, it's Cup Mode. That means you score points
until you reach 120. And then there's Finalist, where you need to win a round after reaching
the point limit to advance. If you reach the point limit but you don't win
around afterwards, you don't advance. So good luck to all, good luck. We have, well,
four Union Jax, right? It's pretty close to a full UK match.
three and a half, three and a half Brits on the server. Here we go. Here we go. So first
of warm up now we're starting. On France. France. I don't know how they say it. And
we are live. It's a bit similar in color to warm ups, but it's not a warm up. J it
land on with a mistake early, land on the road border, therefore losing speed.
What Wissi was talking about with Kak is that it's halfway in the tournament, for him it
needs to start off quickly in the rounds.
I was talking about that with he, so maybe I'm mixing up information.
He said Epos was more locked in than ever, and of course Madas had all day to wait
in winter rocket and look at this one from him already.
Very quick splits.
One tent ahead gets a nice nose dive.
He's going to extend that lead.
And is anyone going to contest him at all in this round?
Half versus half was for second place.
It's at least a battle.
But look at this gap.
I mean, he's destroying them into the first quarter pipe,
clipping the wheel for pack, has to respawn.
Apple is closed. What's this final time for Mota? This looks insane.
107.3.
0.3 off of the tournament record by Dwan.
And a little bit further from the world record, but a very quick start to the match.
The question in chat.
Are the two losers of this match out? No.
There's been a bracket reset, so...
Nab there in the round of 16. There's a new...
...loser bracket. You can lose one game and you're still fine.
Therefore, not too big a worry here, but you want to stay in Uppercut as long as you can.
You want to stay in the Uppercut.
Jadon gets to the start this time. I'm so curious to see how he compares to the others.
Mada, Epos and Pac have all been in Top 8 and World Cup before.
They've been in Finals as well with Mada and Pac, but Jadon here is, you know, quite new to
the competitive scene only really the last couple years he's made the step up
and it is a testament to your skill if you find yourself on this server here
and now it's the question like if you can keep up or not
getting to top 16 already keeps you impressive
but can you get past Apo's muddow in fact
find yourself third, first couple of jumps muddow slow
not another one in a row here Apo's looking very likely to win this one
And that is gonna remain true packet second-sniping Jadon and a 10709
What?
Mada's winning time
getting smoked here
10709 is an unbelievable time for rounds
And that has apples jumping up into first place 16 13 9 and 8 score lines
And I do gotta tell you guys, the elite cup on this map by Epos was really impressive.
He didn't win it, but he had a field of 64 players, a top 10 percentage of 88%.
And he was winning in most rounds when it's that top 10.
Like low 107, he can do any day, but what a no slide from Mada.
Jesus Christ.
the steering wheel advantage can be seen point one ahead of the others into the
dirt ah but he hits the wall and loses the gear
Apple's gonna weave on past, Patrick's going straight, he mentioned he really
doesn't like that diagonal jump now into the half-pipes oh he hits the wall
too this is what I mean we see we see predictor this Jadon can do well if
the others over push right he did predict mud eclipse ending again it's
apples winning the round mudda close behind huge opportunity for jade on
there with little slower times
plus another 10 first first second this position so far
Meta on 19 pack and Jadon on 12. A little bit of a slow start for pack. Of course
not his map choice here. I just want to be trailing by too much here after map one.
Follow him for this one. I am gonna show you guys that mechanic that Mata
does here. On board with him you see he steers sharper, snaps into a no slide
And then steers very smoothly on a steering wheel to keep way more speed out of the dirt
So there he goes from third to first with that one mechanic
it's really hard to do on controller and
A little easier on keyboard with action keys, but you cannot get it as good a steering wheel
It's just that part Mada will shine he will dare to go for it more
Apple's Jade on passing him though in the uphill all players are there before the half-pipes here
Here we go. Mada trying to get a bit more road before the quarter-pipes. He can jump with more speed.
Back at some up to first. He does go left side, jumps too far for right side.
Epos in first now. Pack battling with Mada who comes back into frame and gets second place there.
Mada third for Pack. Epos winning with a 0.2.
Epos winning with a 0.2, so 36 points for Epos out of 40 possible.
Only about first round where Mada dribble 0.3 can stop him.
open. This was muddus map choice. Count around for map it's 4 and this map was chosen. Yeah,
scrappy someone asked, scrappy unfortunately out of a tournament. And the TR label is
tournament record. We are counting not just what's the best time attack run on this map
it is a 102 41 by 1. We're also counting what is the best run driven in the tournament
and that is a 1-0-2-55 by Pact.
So,
Atmos there got a very close to the tournament record on the previous one.
And we'll see.
See what happens here.
This map,
I would argue is not advantageous for steering wheel because of the
Neo slides in the ending.
Moda is going to lose a little bit in the drifts there.
If he does not
do them perfectly.
Good quarter pipe jump up onto the top there.
And yeah, it's impossible to sell them apart.
700 between all after 25 seconds of driving.
Down the hill, hack now, pushing out of the dirt.
They're going to release, try to land the slope.
So let's get that fifth gear before this jump.
Apple's again.
And then Nuva's up into first.
On board with Jadon for the ice dirt flick.
Straighten out.
Apple's at the best speed.
anyone's round still.
But now into this last part, you can see Mada here.
He is gonna do a normal drift.
It's this corner where it's very hard to drift
on steering wheel.
He actually managed it, super impressive.
And the last one, pack in the lead, up to the finish.
Pack wins the round 500s apart for top three.
Personal best for Mada in third is play crazy.
And Jadon, 0.2 behind in fourth place, crazy stuff.
A much needed 10 pointer there for Paaq.
Keeping up with the others.
Like, you need a 0.6 for 10 points here.
So unbelievable.
When people say, Granada switch to keyboard, what does that look like?
Does he have 100% steering paddles?
He moves his hand physically to the keyboard, yeah.
So, he just...
He moves his right hand from the steering wheel down to a keyboard.
and then puts it back up and he accelerates with his feet, so
he doesn't need to, might go for Least Run I think.
TAC trailing here a little bit into this round, onto the ice.
There's a very precise break top they try to do out of the dirt to get more speed.
Moda has it really well.
Inside line, we saw Otak do that to eliminate Scrappy.
Now the ending.
Jada with a great chance here, it could be 10 points for him.
First drift good. Second one good as well. Beautiful exit. Just thinks the last uphill without jumping off the track.
And he doesn't get there. That was a 0.5 by Jadon.
Mada PB with 0.60. Incredible pace being driven. Mada gets 10. Epos only three and now Mada's a lot closer.
Unfortunate caster curse on Jonathan Donathan. Jadon.
Sorry to say, I should not have spoken.
So the score lines are splitting apart a bit, date on on 19, hopefully doesn't feel too
much sadness by his mistake.
He's able to reset.
What a start from Pac, what is going on here?
Oh that is a crazy good split.
And he knows it, he knows.
I thought, like, talking to Pac, he knows to split something up better than anyone.
He knows exactly what Pace is on.
But, okay, maybe let him slip a bit.
Epos gets closer.
Out of the dirt, not so clear anymore.
He's still in the lead, but they can't snipe us away.
First downhill drift, who gets the best exit?
That looks like Pac, still.
He's gonna pull away.
First drift, fine. Neo slide here now.
Oh, missed by Jadon.
Epos vs. Pac.
Spoiler apart.
Up the last hill, up balls trying but Pac holds on 0.6 and another 10 points and Jadon unfortunately another mistake there, lasts for him.
Pac though fully back in the match now.
42-43-51 up front, Jadon only at 22, last round up, USA here.
Curious now who will get the best of it now that they're very warm on the map.
Will we see a new tournament record?
This would be a match to do it.
They've all been closed.
Jadon even closed Swall in that round he crashed.
Another good start for Pac here, 0.6 pace one would say.
on to the Hollywood straight on the ice. Let's see Mada here. Fourth place, he doesn't do the release line.
Hacks slow onto the ice. It's going to be out of the round I think. Mada with a good ice dirtflip.
Little slow on the exit. Apos and Jadon faster. Point one gap. Down the hill they look like they're
merging into one car. Same skin. On board with Jadon. He missed this riff last time. Can he
stabilised that's good one carlings behind appos up the last hill appos takes
this one with a 63 only eight hundredths from the tournament record ten
more points from him excelling further into the lead in the match they play to
120 appos is now halfway at 61
As you see, Brazil, I believe, was picked by Pact.
I got water.
I requested water.
So the admins here are doing me a solid.
Much love for the admins.
Blackwater, we're drinking transparent acid, it's more healthy.
Ok, on to Brazil.
Joga bonita.
Beautiful map, really technical to drive with all the water reactor sections they're going through.
Might get some lot of speed onto the beach here.
Now we're going into the first water reactor.
Full grip, early drift, try to carry extra speed onto the left here.
and he's building up quite the lead. Packed him Jada on trailing by a lot.
Think we'll jump on board with Apos and see if he can match Mada.
Down the dirt, there's another snap nose slide here.
And on steering wheel, that's always gonna be a tiny bit easier, tiny bit better.
He gains a couple hundreds of left segment, now very wide here.
Strange line. Apos gained some time.
Gain point one.
Mada might be saving here, knowing in the gap, he's going around rocks
and he still drives a 103. That was incredible. Good start, solid all the way
through and didn't really risk the end too much.
Appos on a lovely scoreline and Madapak Geydon all ending on 9s. There is a
It's a little bit of fear in Trackmania when your score runs on the 9, because you could
end up at 119, 1 point away from finalists.
And seeing that they've already scored, you know, so that they can end up there, it's
interesting to note, might happen actually.
Now all four players present on the first water reactor, Jadon losing a bit though,
the other three.
My god.
a battle. Alright, speed here important, you can do a 3 drift down this hill if you want,
for extra inside line. They all go full speed. Down the hill, Mada was able to get such an
inside north side, can go more left on the beach, that gains a bit of time. But here
Apple gains back, Mada more inside this time round, maybe realizing the urgency.
Not going on the slalom on the rocks, Apple gets closer, but Mada holds on. Oh my
Oh my god what a run, 103-87 from Udda
Who is quickly catching up to Eppos, his lead is vanishing
And Pac gets last there
This is very good for Udda
Now 4 points behind Eppos but point the gap down to Pac
And he has incredible momentum on this map
Like 103-95 and now up 0.8
Unreal stuff right?
That puts a lot of pressure on the others too. If they want 10 points, they have to get close to their personal best.
That's how absurd that is.
Pack too wide, bumped the rocks a bit too much. There it goes, it's leading the round.
This bump on the inside is intentional. They get more angle from the beach.
But they do a risk dipping the tires into the water.
If you get wet tires while you're floating over the water, things are bad.
Mudder crafts here, not invincible.
You really want to avoid wet tires. That makes the end unplayable.
And it seems like they're doing fine with that.
Epos, lower speed, and pack.
It'll shake you there.
Pack coming back. This is going to be down to the wire.
Last herd.
End and sideline for Epos.
Oh my god, 100th.
The pack gets there with the 10.
Let's let us stay close to Appas as well.
Yeah, we are getting a treat of a match here guys.
This is some of the highest level we've ever seen.
We take it for granted that they're going to be within a couple of times every race on every map.
But it is so mind blowing to watch.
And you know they've studied these maps now for several months and they're still within a tenth of the record every round. It's just, yeah.
Unbelievable to watch.
Onward to Sama Jadon.
Oh, bumps quite wide. Loose some speed before the beach, but that's a good insight line, I think.
Let's keep up.
We'll close.
Oh, Apple is missing his drift.
That gives one more position now for Jaydon, close to pack, snap, no slide, looks like a
good angle.
Gets closer.
Mada as well, of course.
We expect that.
Let's go for Mada here.
Now that he's in third into the end, does he switch it up?
Does he go for the slalom?
Has he decided it's not worth it?
He does go around, doesn't want to risk it.
Jaydon in first for a 10 pointer.
That is his first one of the match.
needed for Jadon and a match PB as well, 104-1, packet second, mudda third, again, all within
a ton of a second. Just so crazy.
Jadon come back. We are going on to a very tricky map now. This one might shake things
up a bit. Mother has the world record and the tournament record was driven in match.
Jadon is quite good here I've been told at the bug slide. I think he is going for it.
Take it back he is not. I must be mixing up names. Not going for it. So that is going
to shake things up. Yeah I must be dismembering maybe it was heave that was very good at
Anyway, here we are only...
...Ethbus is doing the bug slide. I even thought muddle would, but Ethbus crashed it, which shows the volatility.
And muddle crashed the outside line. It's Cat vs. Jadon for the second half of the map.
The other players are...
...right now too far away to contest.
You don't have to see mistakes though.
Poor ice slide from Jadon. Oh, I'll take it back actually.
Maybe the others could get close.
Very important to carry fourth gear through this drift
That lets you have it on to the dirt and build speed
And you can also carry it here in the uphill
smoothly steering you can see apples pass it
any closer to mother oh
Apples might be able to get second out for round where he crashes
That would be unbelievable
Date on this a couple of hundreds of had
Pack looks like to have first place security. Yes indeed this mother get third. Oh
Oh yes indeed!
He does 105.8 the winning time.
Little slower than what we expect but still a good run.
Time for pack.
Six for data on there.
The two players at the bottom of the scoreboard.
Scoring the most.
85, 80, 78 and 53.
Playing to 120.
They cannot get there on this map but the next with mudder clips setting up for the bug slide.
And this time, Epos has a near-perfect one, looking at a 0.5 checkpoint, guys.
I don't want to ring any bells, but this could be one on her pace.
A 0.5 start is unbelievable.
It is like silly mode.
It's silly mode to be this quick.
That's why you're seeing huge gaps, like Epos is on a banger.
Let's go on board.
round the rad keeps forth good downhill sets up wide so you can get past the
bumps does not lose the gear speed slides down a little shaky that's not good
lose a bit of time there but the round is already won he's already won the round
that's a matter of what time this and it looks about to be a point two guys
105.2 with a good end but what a run this unbelievable stuff yeah 105.30
And he could have risked more, but there was no point anymore.
He was just gone. He was just gone.
Crazy stuff.
95 points for Apos now.
Missed the first one.
Then a perfect one. What's the third one gonna be like? I do think Mada will go for Bugslide now.
No, still decides not to.
And Apos flying. Little shaky.
still saves time still good enough to remain ahead point seven there the other
three are all next to each other up the ice slide low for jade on but tends to
give less speed so the others overtake on to the curve and at bus could be caught
here you can't feel too safe. Mura has gained everything back after not bugsliding. And the end
decides who gets the best speed in this downhill ending. It is about equal five hundredths the
difference as they go into the boosters. That should be enough for Epos, but Mura has crazy
good inputs here. Able to get the quick turn around again as Epos faster. What an ending
from other point twenty nine without the bug slide point twenty nine without the
bug slide packaging on PB'd they PB'd and third and fourth what do you mean
max PB for them and their third and fourth that's just unfathomable pace just
crazy packed trashed I mean probably finding it hard to believe what's
going on here. She's insane. Apple's with another crazy one. This is crazy.
0.64. Still able to get close to the World Record with that. But now what does
Mada... Oh, I was gonna say what does Mada do? To catch up. Where did that time
gain come from? Here he lost further time so I don't think he will have much
for chance, but let's see. It's 0.4. The up-pulse better, 0.43. Little wider here, but maybe
that gives him more speed, 0.36. It's hard to know where this happens, but it's just
over time, gradually, 0.20. And he has a better ending. I'm a little scared for Eples
here, actually. 0.15. You know, it's every split closer and closer. Now Eples pulls
way of it though and this should be enough for him. But if Mura gets a bit of a better start,
doesn't mess up that airtime, he can definitely make up what he loses from not doing the bug slide.
Yeah, Apple's gets 10 there, 111. Mura ending up at 99. Pay attention to that. I talked about it.
If you end up out of nine ones, it can happen again, like you score,
you know, a six and a four, you score a 10, you still stay on nine. So
So that is a little scary if you reach 119 but scary no but annoying yes.
And there is quite a gap for Jadon, we are likely looking at a three way battle for now.
Let's go on to Greece.
sure who to say this map favors but apples has the world record at a minimum 1.1305
that is good old good old man's for him but yeah not easy to make a break away on this map
guys like it's very equal all the way the ice slide can get a bit of a gap
And then it's quite important to on the third drop down so not this one, but the next one land flat
Apple's gets it that let's build speed mudda gets it
Point H. I point pretty good point six is like insane
and
from here
Just got to keep it precise
There is much be this you can low lines to get the booster
Push up on the outside dirt
And then speed for the no-stive here and then the Tetris blocks.
Epos in the lead before the end on three, but here comes Paak into first place trying to get back in the match.
No-stive there was not good. He gets overtaken by both Mada and Epos.
Mada in second. Epos looks to take this one and Paak survives in third.
One 13.4. Great time as the winner and Epos is now finalist.
If you're not familiar, I'll repeat once more.
At this point, all he needs to advance is a first place.
Anything else, second place, third place, doesn't matter.
Doesn't do anything for him. He needs to win a round.
And if the others, they can't deny him and catch him on the scoreboard.
So, this is when you gotta clutch.
It's not enough to play a good match, you still gotta clutch the winning point in the finalist mode.
So let's watch and see how he does it.
last time out of the ice he had a good lead and then he lost on the drop downs
this time he is in second place but Mota gained a bunch of time on this next
drop and we see Mota pulling away again great start from him 0.72 is insane
pace down to the plastic this one time guys gonna be very hard for Apple to
fine in the last couple turns.
Good setup for Mada.
Apos touches, tries to risk really hard, and does get punished for it.
Now Mada has a chance to get up to 115.
Onto the dirt.
No-stive is there for Pak, though.
Pak's going to get close.
Pak's going to get very close.
And Mada had some stumbles here last time.
Bad no-stive, one of the drops.
Pak comes close.
Pak overtakes the no-stive.
It's better for Mada! It's 109,000s apart.
Mada wins the round with a 1-13-47.
Insane stuff, Mada 1-15.
Apple still finalists pack out 1-0-1.
Pactor needed that 10,
but he's still two rounds away from finalists himself.
Jadon a little too far at this point
to reach finalists himself, it seems.
into the next round. Let's watch Epos as he's finalist. Mada had an insane start that round
and there's a touch now from Mada. The fastest opponent out of the gate. Mada out of the
round. Only two opponents remain for Epos. His countryman, the two Brits. Right now
he can't see them but here comes Jadon in to the platform drop downs. Does Epos
most get a flat landing? It's a bit bumpy. Pat gets a batter. Jadon with a
great start this time. 0.73 on to the NASCAR turns. Can J-Dom deny
Effos now? He hasn't had much of a say in this match but you're not out of the
match until someone closes out. He can deny it. Up on the outside, Effos getting
closer. Inside line there. Less distance travel, better setup. He is gonna be
equal into the identity. Could advance into the winter bracket here.
Pack is there as well. Three-way battle on the drop downs. First ones goes.
Jadon's way. He's keeping the lead. Epos pass is packed.
Diamond Blast, no dive. Looks like Jadon is gonna deny them both here and
Pack gets six points. 107 for him. Epos the finalist. Not at 118.
Dustin crossed the threshold and the match is still on. Last drama of
Greece. If they can get it to go the full rotation we're going back to
France where, yes, Epos is good, but Mura had some sick pace too, so it'd be good for Mura
that this is the way it's going. Last round now, we are getting some results from the other
matches, Granadi wins, has been called. Let's see who gets it here, Epos, good ice slide setup,
little bit better exit for the others. Pack passing. Drop down here. I think Mada is the
one who's been getting the flatlining the best. Has a clip there though, so he doesn't get
the speed from it. Pack versus apples, 0.7 shackle, both of them. And Pack really wants
to stay alive here. He's so clutched in the last part of the match. This is where
he shines. If he has the finalist label, doesn't take him any rounds. Can he deny
apples here and push it to one more map. It would be so good for him the last
dirt part now. Nostive has been good all four rounds for him and it is pretty
solid again but at apples during the frame apples catching up only a car
behind packed the pack holds on by the looks of it the last drop packed the
nice apples by 300 with a point two point twenty five personal best for
pack almost tournament record to deny Epos.
Mada first with best and third, but it's not enough for Epos.
Double finalist pack on 1-17.
A 1-13-29 was not enough to win the round.
That's unbelievable stuff.
And we're going to see France picked by Mada, who just
entered finalist mode.
But we saw Epos be unbelievable here.
Tapos won three of the rounds, one second place, and he was on pace for Tournament Rocket as well, like 107 low.
So click warm up, now the round starts, this will likely be settled on this map guys.
Taki's gonna hit finalist in one round as well, very likely our two upper bracket players get decided right here right now.
Now, every tiny details matter at this stage.
The tiny overlap of your grass speed slide, the airtime in the downhill here, how much
grip you keep, and let's not forget the nose slide.
Can Mada hit it with the red number on his card, the finalist label.
Does he get a good snap here?
That is a lot of speed.
He's going to be first, and I think by over a tenth into the dirt, we've seen
him be shaky there.
He did have some outside wheel touches.
is quite close but 600s down and pack touches the two finalists are up front
first one could lock in a spot now both going for the diagonal low jump better
for Epos who passes Mada Mada with a smoothsier exit equalizes there side by
side up the last hill before the identity triple right side you need the
speed better speed for Epos but this will be a nail biter first jump good
for Mada Epos trailing a little bit Epos catching up now the more speed
Apple overtakes last jump. Who's gonna get it? Apple's clips and Mata will secure the first qualification spot in this match
So close for Apple's but a 0.3 for Mata with finalist mode and that is a lot around Sinarona
Apple's got denied and now pack is also finalists
Pack versus Apple's and I talked about it pack is very clutch in these situations
Apple's known to be quite clutch as well, but it's been quite a lot of rounds down.
That pressure starts to mount.
You start to see it slipping away, perhaps.
Does it mess with your psyche?
Here a great start for Apple's and now there's no steering wheel abuse happening in this
corner.
No big gaps to be had.
Apple's has to lead with about 0.1 as they go into the dirt.
Pack touched last time. Can he correct this mistake? Yes indeed. Up on the outside.
Doesn't really push too much though so apples keeps that 0.1. Doesn't do the
low jump here. Apples is gonna have two turns before the identity and it's not
certain Pack can do so much about this. Kind of has to hope for a mistake from
apples but apples will know the spots here. He will know he has the advantage.
It's all in his hands. Can he lock in the jumps? First one good. Second one
looks good as well the third hack not getting any closer and the last one does
he get there he clipped but it's enough apples wins and gets to 107 16
phenomenal time pack driving style as well Jadon never really got to work in
the match but these players are not out Mada and I post get upper bracket hack
get lower bracket. Oh, what an insane game. What an insane game. That's unbelievable though.
We have some live live viewers guys spectators behind Tracy's love. Fun to watch. I do think
there's some stuff still ongoing. Just going to click around and game see. This one's finished.
finished. Number three is, was this the final one? This was the final one. Okay. So the
winners are being called in chat. Mada and Epos won on this server, beating Jadon and
Pac. I'll get you guys the full results now. Carl and Wosal advanced beating Alcann
and Mime. We had Gwen and Bren winning beating Binks and Positipaco. And we had Grenadi
otak eating mussel and heath. I'll come lost by six thousandth. Damn, yeah. Fortunately
not out of the tournament. As someone said out, that would be incorrect. Everyone is
still in, but they get dropped to lower back in. So I'm not sure what the plan is now
if they have one more match scheduled. I think so, but I could be wrong. It might
be that it's only tomorrow. And that this was the last one of today. Gonna double check
that. Yeah, so this is, this was the last one of today. It's now end of day. It's now
end of day. That was the last game of the day. Absolutely crazy stuff. Very fun. Guys,
Today I casted only, you know, parts of the tournament.
I didn't get to cast all of it.
Tomorrow battle change, I will cast the entire thing.
We're just trying to make room for reporting
with the players and all, but here at the bottom
of the screen, you can see the schedule for day three.
We start quite early.
We start in CET with the first game, 1330.
And then it goes for the entire day.
grand final at 7. So, interview players, I mean, if they come over, yes, I feel like
I can hang it out in the back player area. I could run up and grab someone, but that
would be maybe rude, I'm not sure. Do you guys want to hear from, like, Mata or something?
So I try to get our model Rappos.
I can try.
Let me see if I get a model, if you give me one minute.
All right guys, look who I found, so quickly, wait, let's see, we need to talk quite loud
to beat the noise gates.
Yeah, yeah, just so you know.
I think it is much.
Yeah.
That might be a problem right now.
Yeah, look at the hype in the chat, that was unbelievable, so what did you think in the match, but like, it started on your pick, but Apple swung like 3 out of 4 and drove really insane things.
I picked France mainly to, because it's the hardest map, I wanted to induce the most stress possible, plus I, because of the E-Leakup, I trust myself to convert.
Yeah, because you said that to me as we were walking up here, you could say it again, but out of 3 possible finance chunks in the swung, you converted all 3.
It's so satisfying. It's like giving you double sus try and dance.
Yeah, it's just 100% accuracy. You got one turn of finalistic boxing.
I also wanted to know what's your philosophy on the China bug slide?
Because I thought you would be going for it.
I was, but I tried the first two rounds and I failed.
It's all like, alright, I need to get some points.
So, I have the pace to push E-boss if he gets the bug slide
and I can do it with that. I managed to do it with one round.
You did 29 without the bug slide.
That would have been like, world record with bug slide, right?
That was the pace of stuff.
No, no. Oh, yeah, yeah.
If you used that slide, yeah, that wasn't believable.
And then, I mean, you're strong all the maps, but like,
do you see now how through 12 tournaments
that did you come here expecting to play some maps well
and now you found some others?
I came here, I came in wanting to win,
but that's been my goal from the beginning.
Yeah. And I used to be like,
oh, this is a good map for me.
This is a bad map for me.
That's not a good approach.
It's my job to figure out the maps and if it's not my style I gotta make it learn how to make it my style
Yeah, yeah, so you don't have any like, you know, cloths in the arm, poles in the armor, you don't have any... this is like...
I'm saying you're strong all the way through. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's great. So now you get more waiting, but you've just been waiting all day because you won so much yesterday and now you're up exactly again.
It's really good because every match takes so much energy out of you so the more you
can rest the better.
Yeah.
No, but it's been 100% one-way for you.
Do you think you can go all the way against the top eight and perhaps further?
That's why I'm here.
Yeah.
Yeah, incredible stuff.
Really also cool to see you in person for the first time.
I think it's the last thing you had at the time.
Feels like it's been too long.
Yeah, indeed. But yeah, we have a set up here and we've been doing a
Tribmania video on some of the pros. Is that something you'd be able to do after the interview
as well? Yeah, absolutely. I'll just pack myself up and then we can get going.
Yeah, thanks. And lastly, Mada, the fans in chat, they were going,
wow, do you want to say anything to them after this incredible match that we watched?
Honestly, I don't know right now, but just thank you very much for cheering us on.
and um yeah I don't know it begs me not bother yes if Millie VXI see all that
the mother blanket's absolutely love it you see your regular viewers in time I
don't have the badminton show with me it was absolutely filthy before I left I
couldn't break it yeah it was it's the first thing that's in my laundry
basket right now that's a good idea I'll probably do that when I get back
Now bring kind of a self-mutter. I can go and, you know, hear stuff and then I'll be gone here when you're ready.
Alright, I'll be back. Yeah, I'll leave. I'll end.
Yeah, sure. Thanks for the interview. Thanks for tuning in to Stream as well. And good luck in the tournament.
Thank you. See you chat. See you in a few minutes.
Yep.
Alright guys, that is Batman himself.
Mutter.
It looked for so long like apples was going to be rank one, ultimately they both advance.
But getting seed one is of course Q-dvantage.
Get another.
Guys, it's just like I'm running out of questions, you know?
I did get another player.
Should I...
I'll see who I find.
I'll see how I find.
you
you
I found, I found another player, Vigachad himself. They are packing up their stuff, you know, like this area is going to be close to not too long, so they have to pack their gear for tomorrow.
But I also talked to Pac. Pac is going to come. He's first doing another interview with British media, apparently.
And then this guy. This guy's joining us.
Hello, hello.
How are you, Brun? Congratulations.
It feels so good.
It does, right? You practice for a tournament. You travel.
Tell, tell a little bit about your travel, because it was the most insane thing that I heard yesterday.
Yeah, so there were a bit of trouble for me to be able to attend, which means I delayed my trip by like 24 hours.
But yeah, I've traveled through the US and I've traveled for 45 hours to be here.
You can't fly over your like, middle earth anymore, so you're all the way around.
Sydney, San Francisco. San Francisco, New York, New York.
London.
London, straight to here.
Yeah.
So it was 45 hours, surprisingly not really exhausted or jet-lacked, but yeah, 45 hours back.
So hopefully I do 45 hours with a qualification with me, because otherwise...
Yeah, then it was worth it, right?
But it's going really well so far, I didn't get to see your game, but obviously you went through how much that went through.
Well, long story short, Gwen destroyed us.
He did a Gwen match, you know, like 72 points out of 80 to get started, you know, like he played so good.
Okay, that's unbelievable.
And then we had some pretty close round with Bunkz and Paco.
I think Paco was unfortunately a bit far behind, you know, he didn't really have a chance after a while.
Yeah, I can see that.
And it was between Bunkz and me, and yeah, first round on Grease that he does.
When I get my finalies, he drives 0.2 on Grease.
What?
And my best round in a match I think is 0.3 so far, so like, ah, this guy, you know,
and I end up winning the next round with 0.30.
We had such an insane match just now with Mada, Path, Ethelos and Jadon, Ethelos is
finalist on Greece, he drives 28th and he will second, 29th was third, 25th was winner,
it was Pacquem on the round of 3rd, 39th is meant to be, this one hurts, when it
happens it hurts, because sometimes you feel like you drive so good and you're not
rewarded with the points and you know like they just wrote better than you but
it still it still sucks and you have that in your head in the next round as
well yeah think about it like you know what I guess what I'm curious about is
like with all that's at stake now there's more at stake than ever does that
affect how you play or are you able to just think of it as just a normal
technique or does it get in your head out of you I'll be honest when we
We played the Elite Cups, the first couple ones I was so stressed, like I've never been
nervous like that playing a match, like every start on China which was the first match I
was so shaky I was overthinking it, like don't fail the slide, don't fail the slide.
But this tournament I'm surprisingly chill, of course I get the nerves in important rounds
and like you drive a fast paced round and you get the hard beat going on, but you've
found the flow.
I'd say so, I'm pretty happy with how I played, honestly I barely crashed and
have the pace so yeah I'm just happy I'm in the floor. So now you're up for
tomorrow you got a bit of time do you prefer having more time like waiting
in tournaments or do you do you like playing your way up? Well first I'm
really happy to be in the winner bracket you know to not get that extra
match that extra pressure I had a thing back in the days back in the
gamers assembly and like all the old lines where I was not playing really
good on day one but I was really stepping up on day two so far it's been
pretty much the same between day one and day two but maybe day three you know it's
good yeah yeah sure you got tomorrow tomorrow you decided that's gonna be
hard man yeah tough match now all these matches are like you could almost
hold them at bro championship final whether oh yeah yeah I mean out of the
12 players remaining right now anyone could win really yeah the eight starts
are going to be hard to get. I just have to win, I mean get top two in one of my next
matches and I'm in. So fingers crossed.
Yeah, fingers crossed and we've got two things. I'm of course doing my little recording stuff.
If you want to do that after, I can do that. I'll just go take some fresh air for 10 minutes
and I'll be back.
And do you want to say something to the fans because they haven't seen you in
But a lot of the jet lag supporters are still here rooting you on keeping us updated when you watch the mud up and
Yeah, they're still here. You know, well, I hope everyone's doing good. It's nice to be here. Thanks for the interview
I appreciate everyone watching the tournament not only me of course, but like people in general
It's nice to feel support for trackmania and thanks for the last year as well with jet lag
Yeah, it's so great. It was great memories. So yeah, thanks guys
Will we see you on Deep Slid sometime?
On which one?
The backwards, the backwards.
Honestly, is there a checkpoint version?
There is a checkpoint version.
Then yes.
Yeah, you can do that one.
Yeah, never see me on Deep Slid though.
No, I've done that.
That's not happening.
You don't suspect yourself to that.
No, no, no.
But the backwards one maybe, you know, with checkpoints.
Checkpoints.
We have that on stream too.
Yeah.
Alright guys, I'm gonna let Grenville get some fresh air and get packed up.
It's been a long day of playing, but thank you so much for joining me, Bren.
Thank you.
Thank you. See you guys. Okay guys. I have one more friend coming to join me and then
I will probably end stream and report with the players. I talked to Scrappy, no so I
think Scrappy left the venue quite early. I haven't seen him in a while so he had a
very unfortunate match you got knocked out. So I'm sorry about that. It's funny
saying, guys, it's funny seeing people saying buy a new microphone when I'm
inside like a, you know, it's just so much noise. You will not believe how
noisy this room is because we have noise suppression. I turned it off now.
do you hear this? it's like I'm inside a airplane motor
this is this is what it sounds like for me and the microphone is not even doing
it justice
did I bring my microphone? yes, yes I did. hello there's a guy who held a phone up
saying big fan thank you yeah yeah sure yeah guys fan service one selfie
Yeah, I'm still live and then we're doing some interviews and stuff, but yeah done a bit thank you
fan interview I mean I don't want to pull people in front of the camera I feel like that's rude
I feel like that's a bit rude.
Get the clipping mics, you know, I have them.
I have clipping mics, but they're for recording.
Not so... I couldn't set them up for streaming, but I don't have that yet.
So I would have to go tomorrow.
You feel like the guy would like the interview?
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
Like, oftentimes people are already nervous to say hi, which is...
I think that's silly.
You should never be nervous to speak to me. I'm friendly.
But with cameras and all that's amplified. So you don't want to just, whoa, you know, do some, yeah.
But it's really fun. There's a lot of fans here.
I can show you guys a little bit around. We have the stage, some players hanging out.
you have the bean bags to the side there where a lot of people are sitting but
I'm not gonna film them. Is that regular water? Yes, regular water.
Yeah, that's spam somewhere there. Granada I haven't seen actually.
Granadia I've not seen. Masa near the stage? No, but he looks like Masa a little bit, yeah.
When you're granadia interview, he won as well, right? I kind of want to get the winners, because like, when you interview people who've lost, they often, they are very beaten. It does mean a lot.
So you don't want them to feel like they're put on the spot in front of a camera either.
Muddow is very happy, Brenn very happy, Carl.
I see what he wants to join, I mean, already talked with him.
Maybe, maybe.
Should I ask?
I can ask.
I can sneak in and ask.
Oh man.
Oh man.
Oh yeah, you're going along the way around, okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, how many times will a champion, is it seven or eight?
I'm going to ask him.
Carl, welcome to my little stream setup.
You were here earlier, we recorded.
Yes, we did, but I think it's my first time on virtual stream.
Probably actually on stream like in person like this.
We did the call during the Dori.
We talked for a bit.
Oh, that was a good time when I told you to cheat her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You actually probably were right in hindsight.
But Carl, I gotta ask you, how many times
have you won the World Championship?
Do you even know?
Yeah, of course.
How many?
Seven.
It's seven.
It's not another number.
Six.
Seven.
I know for sure.
Seven.
Oh, I didn't know.
I swear I didn't.
I'm 29 years old.
I'm 29 years old. No, bro.
No, I was just like, I wanted to know if you've won so many times that you've lost count yourself or not.
No, I lost count of CRT Kanto.
CRT you've lost count, okay.
But WorldCAD, the proper tournament I want to win every year.
No DreamHack title yet.
Because they were a little bit before your time and also not.
Long time before my time actually, just 2009, no?
Yeah, 2009 time.
Yeah, after a lot of...
So now, I guess the question is, do you think you can get one?
Do you think you can win the tournament?
You're winning a lot, but...
People are good, man.
Yeah?
I don't know.
The level's pretty crazy.
I don't know, I'm quite humbled with them, so I don't know.
I can win, yeah.
I can lose my next two matches.
Yeah?
Like, today I played insanely well in my match.
Then I crashed like eight times in a row.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then I played good again.
So that's straight mean, yeah.
I just hope I don't crash like 24 times in a row during the match.
Yeah, I know, but like that's super nice and we talked about this with a lot of players.
I want to ask you as well, do you think this is the most stacked tournament to be had?
Yes, yeah, for sure, like it's not even a debate.
Maybe you can say, well, you know, the level always improved year by year.
We had a very nice level for ES level in select 2014.
You were 32 players, Krabi, it was his first event.
That event was insane for the moment, but yeah.
The thing is, players from 16 to 24 are all good.
You don't have like...
Yeah, it's not such a clear gap.
Every time I arrive to the LAN, my first match against Siege 17 or 24, I can relax and just chill.
Usually people who cannot trip, it's usually like virtual vibe. They have the vibe club.
Okay, it's not virtual, but they have the vibe.
Yeah, they have the jet lag tag, like those guys, you know?
Jet lag clan tag, yeah.
You usually just break them, but now bro, it's like the top level.
Good clarification there.
Yeah, actually.
Just the people are so good now.
They are incredibly good.
So yeah, top 8, you need to win one of your next two, right?
And then you have the spot in EWC.
What's the pressure of this being a bigger opponent also in terms of stakes, get to you?
I don't think I have much stakes considering my J.O. results and League Cups and regional qualifications.
It's just, you don't want to lose.
Like, the Zimbabwe players are here, you want to reach the grand final and show what you can do.
Yeah, that will be my goal to share.
Saban is just to rest up and then go again tomorrow to try to win it all.
Yeah, a nice day as well tonight.
Yeah, dinner dates.
Yeah, but now I'll wear something better.
You're gonna go back and get changed.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, I'll get a shirt as well, Carl.
All right, thank you.
Should you get the rossus? Do I get the rossus?
Let the chat decide.
I don't know.
the candles.
But yeah, also we have a big project, guys.
Huge project, yeah.
We have a big project coming in.
We talked about it a long time, and there will be content.
Yes.
We are filming for the pros, so Carl's already done this.
I'm trying to recruit everybody, but they misunderstood that.
But yeah, Carl, I'm trying to remember what I said.
I didn't let a new means or whatever.
It's just going to be fun.
Ricardo, I'm not going to keep you for too long.
Do you want to say anything to the fans?
Anything they're cheering for you, rooting for you?
They are.
Yeah.
Are you?
Is he lying?
Guys, is he lying?
Are you?
The thing is, there's a balance.
People find it boring that you win too much.
But they also really respect your skill.
That is what's good about it.
There's lots in the chat.
You think he's cheering for me?
No.
So we have one hate watcher.
I mean thanks for the support after all those years obviously I always try to
So then the clone that's like my strategy
I don't want to do 4444 it's that way you don't do but China bugs like
No it's because I'm skill issue skill issue that's not like I don't want to
I think I'm good at the map enough to come back but not when they hit it like
that yeah that's it I'm absolutely skill issue and I I don't know if I'll
with tomorrow I need to think about it maybe if you put the vibe tag you get
better at bug slides you know I don't no no no I've played some matchmaking in
2021 I've seen your community but yeah I don't think about it but I don't think I'll
change anything okay don't change it's a working formula don't change anything
sure I see you I see you yeah thanks boys appreciate it yeah all right
Carl, thank you, I'll see you later. Yes, sir. Have a great evening
Yes
Right now yeah, they're begging. Oh, yeah
It's not doing like one by one it's very slow
Suspends, thank you for letting me borrow the setup.
Yeah, you're the only time I said, well, I owned your setup first and I ain't got about it.
I've set it up now with the lights and everything, it's a bit.
I mean, this is a way better setup than I had, that's for sure.
And it's funny how, like, I just wanted to move my desk earlier,
and like, four people carrying the desk, one checking the cables, full inspection.
But the person who talked to me packed, how did you feel in that match?
feeling that match was unbelievable at the end and gruesome stuff with the pace.
Yeah, I mean, I was, as soon as Father picked France as that one, I was, I was a bit worried.
It's like, it's not my best map, and I knew him and E-Post were very good at it, and so I just
wanted to get through that one without crashing, you know, I crashed that one, and then it kind
of set the tone for that map, and then when it got back to it, I was just hoping for, you
know, do like a PB round or something, you know, that when it can't beat me.
Yeah, it was close at least.
It's funny you say that because Mada was here and he said I picked the trans first,
because I just wanted to pick the hardest map first.
Yeah, it makes sense.
And kind of maybe slow you down, honestly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And yeah, no, but the pace they were driving also was unbelievable.
It's quick, it's quick.
We had that one lap in the beast that I picked up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You won 25, it was after 28, I won 29.
Yeah, I was feeling it.
I agree, it just felt good at that point.
So I know at the end, there's a certain point where I'm like,
I know I'm going to make the finish.
And there's still two jumps left.
And I felt so good.
Even I think the number on the cart was still two,
but I knew that it was good.
And I was like, if he beats this one,
then he deserves the win.
And he didn't.
I was like, OK, well, I've got a chance.
That round, actually, I'm seated next to Ippos,
and he was visibly upset.
He was like, no, no, no.
Because I looked over and I saw the .29 and then I saw him in person and I was like, oh my god.
We must have thought like there's no way this is on the track.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It was the round before, J-Dun did a .29 as well, so it was insane.
And also, I mean, you guys have tracked the tournament record pace of every level.
Yeah.
You don't have one of the new blast house maps already, but that is just nuts.
I don't know, that match was crazy.
I mean, Ipoh sort of ran away slightly, and then we all stepped up a level to sort of come back.
And then triple finalists is just golden.
So how do you feel for tomorrow now? You obviously won life left, right?
Yeah, yeah, won life left again.
Yeah.
You made it last time, now, before last, so...
It's just, play my game. I think kind of work on some things.
I think my end on Brazil is lacking at the moment.
So I think it'd be nice to feel confident when my car says one that I'm going to finish with number one.
And then I think France just trying not, it's basically not crash, staying around to put pressure on everyone else.
I know I've got USA in the bag, I've got Greece in the bag.
So it's just sort of, keep in the match right now.
I'm just trying to get the sort of match.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know what you play already?
No I don't.
I could try to pull up the bracket.
I'm not sure if it's like updated.
Suck it.
Cause I have no clue who's playing good.
Yeah.
I mean they might have it.
Let's see.
Oh it's up.
So we got...
Holy.
Holy.
Wait, wait, time we should show you guys this.
This is literally ready.
What is this match?
Mother Carl Ultec Brand, we're going to have him also at first.
That's the upper bracket, lower bracket.
Oh, it's big.
I mean, you've played Mime, you've played Paco, and you've been older than him.
Have you played Leaf?
No.
Okay, so, I mean, the auto game is going to be interesting.
Two of them do the puck side.
It's so crazy, and these two matches, like two other players,
both of them.
Yes.
I mean I will say the second one here, the second match looks way tougher. If we look at, you know, how the other players drove today and yesterday.
